The ball went in.

There was silence at Old Trafford as Grant rushed towards his players as if he had already won the Premier League title.

It wasn't until the home court booed that Grant realized he had lost his composure. He didn't want to be sent off by the referee in his first coaching game.

At this time, Ferguson's face was slightly ugly. This ball should not have been played, but the opponent's shot was handled too calmly. He made a sudden braking action at the last moment. Otherwise, the ball should have been prevented. As for Fan

Desa, there is really nothing you can do. This ball was hit into a blind spot.

Hairdryer Ferguson started ranting on the sidelines as he realized Chelsea were heading in a good direction.

After the goal, Chelsea indeed defended harder, but Manchester United could not find a good way to break the intensive defense for a while.

Maybe it was because the previous games were too smooth. The teamwork of several Manchester United superstars was enough to tear apart the opponent's defense. Especially the trident formed by Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Li Qiao. Basically, as long as they play fast breaks, they can break through the opponent's defense.

Goal.

But Chelsea is Chelsea after all, and this is a Champions League-level opponent. Facing such a team, the team as a whole needs to fight, and this is exactly a problem that Manchester United has not encountered this season.

Li Qiao gets the ball on the wing, and Makelele immediately comes over to defend closely. Makelele's defense is very aggressive. Generally speaking, offense is aggressive, so why is defense also aggressive?

It's very simple, that's because Makelele's defense is always ready to tackle. Soon, Makelele saw the right moment and stretched out his kick, while Li Qiao turned sideways to protect the ball, but he could only be kicked.

.

This kick ignited the anger of Manchester United at home, and this is exactly what Chelsea wanted to see. They wanted to make Manchester United lose their cool, and Li Qiao also stopped his teammates in time, saying that he was fine.

"destroy."

This is what Grant thinks. When you become the leading side, the most important thing is to disrupt the opponent's rhythm. This is the highest level of defense and disrupting the opponent's rhythm.

For example, when a musician is playing and a phone call comes suddenly, the ringing sound will disrupt everything because the rhythm is disrupted.

This is Chelsea's goal at this time.

Of course a cunning coach like Ferguson knows this very well, and he cannot let his opponents succeed, so controlling the rhythm is very important, and the person who can control the rhythm on the Manchester United pitch is Scholes.

Later, many people thought that Manchester United's decline was due to Ferguson's departure. Of course, that was a very important reason, but there was another reason that many people ignored, and that was the departure of Scholes, despite his lack of prominence.

, but Scholes’ role in Manchester United is very important, even decisive.

As soon as Scholes got the ball, Chelsea's defensive players stepped forward to destroy it, and now it was the real battle. Whether he was a midfield master or not depends on whether he could control the rhythm at this time.

And Scholes was like a superb violin master. After controlling the rhythm, he suddenly made a long pass and handed the ball to Ronaldo on the left.

This time the ball is divided so exquisitely, it feels like peeling off a cocoon, turning decay into magic.

And Ronaldo was pedaling his bicycle like crazy on the wing.

At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo is still in everyone's mind the young cycling boy who is very good at showing off his skills.

I have to say that Ronaldo at this time was not as powerful as he was later, and sometimes his fancy moves were a bit too much, but I have to say that he was still one of the best offensive players of this era.

Ferreira did not get past Ferreira while riding a bicycle, and Ronaldo could only force the bottom next, but in this way, his routine had been guessed by Chelsea, which was a cross, so this was Ronaldo's move at this time

The flaw is that the action is very fancy, but there are not many solutions.

A forced cross was made, and Rooney in the middle followed up, but Ben Haim, who performed very well in this game, stuck close to Rooney and gave him no chance at all.

The ball didn't go in!!

Ferguson was a little anxious. If this continues, there seems to be no suspense in the game, because Manchester United's three attacks have been defended, especially Rooney. Ben Haim does not seem to be afraid of attacking forwards at all.

At this moment, the scheming Queiroz came to Ferguson and whispered a few words.

"Is this okay?"

Queiroz nodded, "I have observed it. Ben Haim is very strong in frontal defense, especially the first time. He is almost as strong as a Premier League defender, but his turn is slow. I think if Li Qiao goes against him, it may be

There is a chance.”

Ferguson believed in his assistant Queiroz. When Queiroz and Keane had a conflict, it was evident that he firmly stood on the assistant's side, so Ferguson finally chose to trust Queiroz's judgment.

He gestured to Rooney and Li Qiao to change seats. This order was unbelievable to both of them.

Because Li Qiao can't play center, everyone knows that centers have special requirements, and Li Qiao was born as a winger, so he doesn't know much about the skills of a center who can carry people and block positions.

But the military orders were overwhelming, and since Ferguson asked for it, even if Li Qiao was asked to play the goalkeeper position, he had no choice but to do so.

Li Qiao and Rooney switched positions, which was a shock to Grant. After all, this kind of situation is rare.

If it was a rookie team, it would probably be a mistake, but Manchester United is not a rookie team, and everyone knows Ferguson's wisdom.

So Grant began to carefully observe the changes after Li Qiao changed positions to see if there were any special circumstances.

At first, it was really nothing. Li Qiao even made a few mistakes in getting the ball. Especially since Li Qiao didn't know how to get the ball with his back at all, it would be easier for the defender to grab the ball from Li Qiao's feet.

Ben Haim was a little underestimating the enemy. He felt that Manchester United had really made a mistake. It was better to use Rooney as the center. At least that guy had a physical advantage that was difficult to resist, and this Asian seemed to be unable to carry it.

Can't live.

Ronaldo is still trying to find opportunities on the wing, and Paulo Ferreira seems to know him too well. Ronaldo can never find an opportunity to cut inside on the wing.

Once again, he had no choice but to pass the ball. He had sent this kind of ball to Rooney several times, but Rooney never made a shot, and this time the ball rolled towards Li Qiao. In this case, it seemed impossible for Li Qiao to make a shot.

A better option, Ben Haim has arrived.

At this moment, Li Qiao knocked his heel. This action surprised Ben Haim. The ball slipped past him, and Cech was also caught off guard because the ball was already too close when it rolled over.

Ferguson stared at Queiroz dumbfounded.
