Midfielder

If you say Ferguson is the most cunning old man in the Premier League, few people would refute it, because this old man has killed many people, and judging from his posture, he seems to be ready to continue doing so.

Maybe this is Ferguson's hobby, and it is also the driving force that supports him through his coaching career for more than 20 years.

Well, this hobby is really a bit torturous. Those coaches who fell into his hands will die with regret.

Mourinho knew that the opponent was a cunning fox, so his changes in formation and tactical arrangements were almost all to prevent Ferguson's changes, but now it seems that he still underestimated the opponent.

The single-handed attack of Lu Xiaopang was blocked by Cech, but it did not dampen the pace of Manchester United's progress. Although there was no penalty kick, the subsequent offensive launched by Manchester United was one wave higher than another, very fierce.

In the fifth minute, Scholes successfully stole the ball from Makelele's feet in the frontcourt, and Rooney suddenly shot with his right foot on the left side of the penalty area. This powerful shot with the sound of wind was slightly higher than the crossbar.

This sudden shot failed to score, which made Manchester United fans sigh.

Even Ferguson curled his lips on the sidelines, and he felt a little sorry that Lu Xiaopang failed to score.

If Chelsea could be hit head-on at this time, perhaps the next game would be much easier.

But this time Lu Xiaopang's shot did not bring a lucky halo, but just barely hit the post.

However, Cech was also shocked by Lu Xiaopang's counterattack and broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't want to do it again.

Mourinho also reminded his players loudly on the sidelines not to relax at all!

"Cheer up, keep them away from the penalty area, and don't give them too much space!", but Mourinho's roar seemed a little insignificant in Manchester United's current offensive tide.

His roar made Chelsea's defense as tough as possible, but it could not fundamentally solve the problem. Manchester United's offense was still so turbulent, and Chelsea's defense was gradually tightening.

Chelsea's attack is not as good as usual now, and Manchester United's full-court pressing effect is revealed. They disrupted Chelsea's ball-passing route, once again intercepted Robben's ball, and directly launched an attack from the wing. Giggs's forward insertion once again posed a threat.

Sylvester's long pass from the backcourt and Giggs' high-speed forward insertion, this kind of cooperation is simple, rough, and unreasonable, but it is effective. If Chelsea wants to make up for the defense, it is not so easy.

And will Giggs, an old monster, give you this opportunity? The answer must be no. The Welshman kicked a cross directly when he received the ball, before he stopped steadily.

His target of this cross was not Luke or Van Nistelrooy, but Scholes who was wandering outside the penalty area. The speed was extremely fast and the accuracy was extremely high. Scholes inserted a long shot with a tacit understanding.

Makelele would also make mistakes under such a high-speed impact, not to mention that Scholes' personal ability is not worse than those world-class front midfielders, and his long shot is quite threatening.

At the last moment, Makelele blocked the ball with his outstretched foot. The damn shot did not threaten Cech's goal directly, but it also gave Manchester United a corner kick.

Van Nistelrooy's high-altitude bombing at the corner kick also made Ferdinand a little embarrassed, but fortunately the Dutchman's header did not go in. Although it flew out by the crossbar, it also made Chelsea's defense look very chaotic. This situation has basically never happened in previous games.

Not to mention that the opponent has never taken advantage, even when leading by a large score, Chelsea has never let the opponent launch such a reckless offensive wave, and this dangerous scene is not the first time.

Fifteen minutes after the opening, the game was almost one-sided. Chelsea did not have the calmness of the previous fourteen consecutive victories. Almost everyone was desperate to consolidate the defense.

Including Lin Yi, he had to retreat to his own half to defend, and could not easily pass and organize the attack like in the previous games. Now even passing the ball seemed very difficult.

Manchester United's strong suppression began to take the initiative. It was basically impossible for Chelsea to attack.

Even Drogba had retreated to the center circle. You can imagine how fierce Manchester United's attack was. They didn't intend to give Chelsea any breathing space at all. It was like they wanted to kill the opponent with a stick. Manchester United's endless attack was to completely defeat Chelsea.

Mourinho knew that he was calculated by Ferguson this time. The old fox didn't intend to let this game be steady from the beginning. He dared to arrange three defenders just to make efforts in offense.

Ferguson did plan so. Before this game, he carefully studied the recent video recordings of Chelsea's nearly ten games and found that their playing style became more aggressive after the change.

This is completely different from the slow and methodical style of last season.

Last season, Chelsea relied on the personal abilities of several main attackers in the frontcourt to find opportunities on their own on the basis of steady defense, so there were many games with a score of one to zero in the early stage.

But this season, Chelsea's offensive pressure is very fierce, and they can almost lock the trend of the entire game within halftime, especially with Gerrard and Lampard as double shadow strikers. This offensiveness will be very strong, and they can almost defeat your defense in one go after the opening.

They don't give you time to set up your formation and play slowly with them. These beasts will eat you up in one bite.

The chemical effect of a group of tough guys together is just like this, and their impact is really shocking.

The most fatal thing is that Chelsea has Lin Yi in the midfield. This kid can deliver shells to the forward line at any place. As long as he succeeds once, the opponent's goal will be in danger of collapse.

And Lin Yi is in such a crazy state recently, it is basically difficult to stop his attack.

Even the double defensive midfielder defense prepared by Ferguson for Lin Yi may not really block him.

In the last five games during Chelsea's winning streak, they almost defeated their opponents by a large score.

Moreover, the victory was often secured in the first half, especially in the first ten minutes. Almost every time, there would be a terminator-like guy who would come out to perform a lightning war with Chelsea's rhythm.

Anyway, it was either Robben, Lampard or Gerrard. This terminator had no accurate positioning, it just depended on where Lin Yi's pass was given. However, this kind of highly penetrating pass, as long as it was inserted into the right position, could pose a fatal threat. It was not just one or two who were killed by this kind of pass. Look at the fourteen teams that fell in front. Basically, everyone had experienced this scene.

The offensive efficiency between the first ten to twenty minutes can be said to be extremely terrifying. For example, in the game that Everton lost, you can't say that Moyes' team's defense was not good, you can only say that Chelsea's offense was too fierce. They almost pounced on the opponent at the moment when they were still unstable.

With strong strength as a guarantee, coupled with super personal ability, as long as they can play an overall offense, they can form an absolute chance to score. This is the current Chelsea team's invincible tactic.

Although it is very simple, it is really difficult to defend. After all, not every team has so many stars. Often, if you focus on one, you will miss another. Anyway, there will always be fish that slip through the net.

As long as there is one cruising in the danger zone, then you can wait and see his next performance. With an unlimited supply line of artillery shells, Chelsea's cannons will not worry about not having opportunities to attack.

Their continuous firing has already collapsed the defenses of fourteen teams. Manchester United does not want to be the fifteenth. They are not arrogant enough to think that their defenses can be more unbreakable than AC Milan.

After watching so many game videos, Ferguson has decided not to become a victim of this kind of blitzkrieg. Although he knows that this is a home game, who can guarantee that the group of Chelsea animals will not pounce on him fiercely and bite him? He doesn't want to take risks easily.

At least Ferguson knows that in this kind of game, following the opponent's rhythm can easily go wrong.

Moreover, based on the current defense of Manchester United, even if Keane and Park Ji-sung defend Lin Yi, he is a little worried, not to mention that there is a Drogba in front, plus Lampard and Gerrard, two cannons. If Chelsea really plays the rhythm they are used to, Manchester United will definitely suffer in the end.

Even if Lin Yi does not tear their defense apart, they are likely to find gaps from other places.

Anyway, as long as they are given a chance, Manchester United's defense is always dangerous. If Ferguson wants to prevent this danger from lingering in front of his goal, he must think of a way to keep these animals away from the goal.

Rather than letting the other party lead him by the nose, it is better to make yourself the one who likes adventure. Even if this adventure is very dangerous, Ferguson is willing to gamble in the peak confrontation.

Attack! Before the opponent is not ready to raid, let yourself press out first, try to ignite the war in the opponent's half, and start a fierce attack when the opponent is not ready.

This is Ferguson's tactical arrangement. He did not care about the opponent's attack, but was ready to strike first.

Anyway, defending may not have any good results, so let Manchester United rush out first!

The desire to attack flows in the blood of the Red Devils and Ferguson. Now Ferguson wants to transform this desire into a strong attack. Since it is a peak showdown, let's see who has the faster knife in his hand!

Either you die or I die. This is a confrontation with no way out. Ferguson wants to play the blood of the Red Devils at Old Trafford this time! Completely suppress the blue chariot!

Ferguson dared to suddenly change the formation of three defenders in this game. What he wanted was to suppress the opponent instantly in the midfield, and then use the two wingers to open up space as much as possible, and the two forwards directly threatened the opponent's penalty area.

It can be seen that Ronaldo and Giggs have completely become a ruthless trick in the hands of the old Sir Alex, and Mourinho himself also shot himself in the foot this time. He unexpectedly withdrew the double forwards.

It is precisely because there is not so much pressure on one wing that Ronaldo and Giggs can switch positions in the frontcourt at will, and then these two people can form a very threatening bottom cross.

Not only did the cross from the bottom create shooting opportunities for Lukaku and Van Nistelrooy in the middle of the penalty area, but Ronaldo also looked so excited in the first ten minutes of the game, and his cuts inside were also very sharp.

The attack was fierce enough, and Ronaldo was also very fierce in defense. Ashley Cole failed to clear the ball in time twice because he was confused by Ronaldo's pressing and was a little overwhelmed.

This guy ran like crazy on the field today, as if he would be replaced in the next second.

Such attacks and sieges caused a lot of trouble for Chelsea's wing. Every time Ferreira had to frown to deal with Giggs and Ronaldo's breakthroughs, he paid the price of a yellow card.

But this yellow card did not bring Manchester United to stop, but a more crazy attack on this side.

Especially Ronaldo, he didn't need Ferguson to explain anything, he just identified Ferreira's weakness and made a fatal breakthrough, as if he was ready to tear Chelsea's wing gate apart at any time.

It is estimated that only Lin Yi knows what happened to that guy, "Damn, is this animal crazy?"

No one wants to be the loser all the time. A guy like Ronaldo with a strong self-esteem naturally doesn't want to lose to Lin Yi again, so the moment he got the attack order from the old Sir, he had completely let go.

The more fatal point is not only that Ronaldo's performance is crazy, but the most important thing is that Ferreira seems to have no way to deal with Ronaldo's straight line, overtaking by speed alone.

Ronaldo is familiar with his teammates in this national team. Similarly, he also knows that Ferreira's absolute speed can't catch up with his own, especially when facing some absolutely fast players, Ferreira is always embarrassed.

This point was shown in Porto. In the Champions League final, he faced Monaco's forced breakthrough and seemed to have no way to deal with it. This time, Ronaldo seized Ferreira's weakness and attacked crazily, and Giggs, the experienced guy, saw Chelsea's soft spot.

In the past, when Ferreira dealt with such speed players, he relied on Chelsea's strong overall defense system. Although sometimes he let those guys pass by him, there were rarely any loopholes. But this time was a little different. Chelsea's overall defense was restrained by the opponent.

Terry and Carvalho were of no help. They were now having a hard time marking Lu Xiaopang and Van Nistelrooy.

If they wanted to withdraw to help Ferreira fill in the position, Chelsea's penalty area would easily have loopholes, and this was not just talk, but there would really be a threat to the goal. In the tenth minute of the first half, Giggs forced a cut in and attracted Terry's defense, but the Welshman's low cross allowed Van Nistelrooy to seize the opportunity in the penalty area. Fortunately, Cech became the savior.

If the Czechs were not agile enough, no one knew whether Van Nistelrooy's shot would break the deadlock on the field. Anyway, Ferguson waved his hand depressedly after seeing Cech complete this save. If they could take the lead, perhaps Manchester United would take the initiative on the field in the subsequent games.

But it was this goalkeeper who was abandoned by Manchester United at the age of 19 who once again blocked the Red Devils.

If Ferguson had spent hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy this kid, there might not be the situation today, but there is no regret medicine in the world. Cech's hands are weaving a huge protective net for Chelsea. To penetrate it, it really requires enough luck and strong strength.

But such continuous attacks have indeed made Chelsea's defense a bit stretched. This is the first time for the Blues, who have been winning streak before. The Red Devils' home court is indeed powerful.

"The great Manchester United is using a strong attack to realize their idea of ​​becoming a champion sniper."

The commentator of the Dream Theater could not miss such an opportunity to cheer for Manchester United. His roar was almost guiding the shouts of Manchester United fans, and the entire Old Trafford Stadium was shaking.

Tens of thousands of people were roaring, tens of thousands of people were singing, "Glory to Manchester United! Glory to Manchester United! The red army is moving forward bravely.!" This roar from the bottom of the heart seemed to be awakening the Red Devils.

In this almost crazy atmosphere, don't think about staying calm. Even though Chelsea's overall tactics have been polished for a season and have long formed a kind of inertia, in such a peak confrontation, a slight change will make the entire deployment lose its usual stability.

However, only Chelsea's group of animals can withstand such a fierce attack. If it were someone else, it would have been destroyed by Manchester United, but even so, they were a little hard to resist.

After the game had been going on for a full twenty minutes, Chelsea got the first chance to shoot, but this did not mean that they had recovered from being suppressed. This sporadic counterattack had no practical effect in the face of the opponent's offensive frenzy. Mourinho stood on the sidelines and fell into thought.

"Change formation? Or not?" When seeing the team being pressed and attacked by the opponent, Mourinho had a lot of issues to consider. He was a little unsure for the first time. Should he change it?

After all, being pressed by the opponent like this, the goal may be scored at any time. If they fall behind, the game will be difficult to play. Don't expect Manchester United to relax after taking the lead. They will definitely continue to put pressure.

Until his opponent completely collapses, Mourinho doesn't want to see such a scene happen to Chelsea, so he is thinking whether he needs to make tactical adjustments at this time. The most important thing is that he must let Lin Yi go out. Only when his position is alive can he save the situation.

The same question was lingering in Lin Yi's mind at this moment. Ronaldo's crazy attack had ignited the war between the two of them. Lin Yi, who had never been afraid of anyone, didn't want to be so cowardly.

He needed to rush to the opponent's half to disrupt the opponent's rhythm. He was the brain of the entire team, and he had to be the first to initiate the counterattack order!

The counterattack will start from me...
