Chapter 278

The game continued in the battle, and the scene was in a stalemate.

This is a league, not a cup. If the game draws, it will be a draw. There will be no overtime, and there will be no decisive battle. It is necessary to decide a winner. Once Chelsea loses this game, Manchester United will defend their title in advance. This is not the ending that Jose Mourinho is willing to see. He has prepared carefully for so long and has worked hard to inspire fighting spirit. The team approached the score at the most difficult time, not for a failure.

He turned his head to look at the big screen at Old Trafford Stadium, which contained game time, and it was less than ten minutes away from ninety minutes.

How can we score another goal when Manchester United takes gestures?

It will definitely not work to draw a snake out of the hole. Ferguson's team will not be so stupid as to be fooled. It is obvious that it is more beneficial to defend the dead. If you have a strong attack... Manchester United's defense has strengthened its defense against attackers such as Crespo. As Chelsea's center, Crespoy is difficult to turn around, let alone shoot. Duff and Joe Kerr have been forced to the sideline and become real wingers - forwards near the sideline.

So...strengthen long-range shooting?

This is a solution, but the effect is unknown, and we put all the hope of scoring on it. Every attack ends so hastily, which will inevitably affect the morale of the team.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, pinching his chin with one hand, frowned and pondering.

On the court, Chelsea were bombarding the half-time: crossing from the wing, grabbing points from the middle, long shots and cold shots, personal breakthroughs, straight passes and strong attacks from the middle...all methods were used.

For a moment, the situation on the field changed, and the scene in the first half returned to Manchester United at the last moment.

However, for the sake of the championship, Manchester United also admitted this humiliation. Ferguson stood on the sidelines with a serious expression. He was worried that his team would not be able to withstand the fierce attack of Chelsea and would have loopholes.

Keane has returned to the back line and became the third central defender. Since the midfield line is close to the back line, there is no need to set up a single midfielder.

But Ferguson was still a little worried. Logically speaking, the Manchester United players on the court are very strong in terms of personal abilities and cooperation, and he doesn't know what he is worried about...

Perhaps it was some of Chelsea's reputation that disturbed his mood?

Mourinho's team is a team that never admits defeat. As an opponent, he dare not let go of his heart within the last second, especially when they start to go crazy.

Time passes by minute by minute, and the score is still 2:1.

Attackers like Cristiano Ronaldo retreated to the second half to participate in defense, and Manchester United had almost no counterattack. Chelsea pushed the whole line and went all out. It can be said that except for Cech, they almost all beat the half. These players also knew very well what the draw meant to them.

Because Manchester United defended very closely, Chelsea's offense meant "thunder and light rain". Although it seemed fierce on the scene, no results were achieved.

Later, Terry couldn't help but shoot a long shot outside and hit it away.

"It seems that Chelsea is a little impatient. Such hasty offensive mistakes are really unnecessary. If this continues, Manchester United will only be more confident in defending the draw, and make everyone else at Chelsea more impatient. John Terry is the captain, and he should not show any anxiety." The commentator criticized John Terry mercilessly.

Mourinho, off the court, had a completely opposite view from the commentator. He rushed to the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Shot more!"

Perhaps shooting will waste opportunities, but without shooting, there is no chance. Anyway, Manchester United is on a full-scale defensive position now and cannot threaten Chelsea’s rear. Under the pressure of Chelsea, their balls cannot even pass the half.

Since that's the case, you can shoot more and as long as you hit the goal frame, you will have a chance to score. As for whether you can score a goal, you can only leave it to fate...

After Terry shot a shot, Lampard also made a shot. His shot was in the range of the door frame, but it was too straight and easily confiscated by Van der Sar.

The whole Chelsea team then stepped up their long shots, which looked a bit like a desperate struggle.

The fourth official appeared on the sidelines again, and he raised the electronic sign in his hand. This time it was not a team that wanted to substitution, but a reminder of the time for injury stoppage time - four minutes!

"There is only four minutes left for Chelsea, and Manchester United is only four minutes away from their tenth Premier League title. Now every attack from Chelsea will make Manchester United fans worried. I really hope their hearts can still bear it..."

Mourinho decided to make a substitution. He replaced the central defender Carvalho with Goodjord, which was a life-threatening substitution. If he didn't succeed, he would be successful. After Goodjord, he could increase the strength of Chelsea in the penalty area and cause some trouble for Manchester United's defense. At the same time, his strength and physical strength may also become the winner and loser to determine which side the balance tends to be.

Goodjohansen ran on the court, and the game time had just entered injury stoppage time, and there were still four minutes left before the end of the game.

Cristiano Ronaldo saw Chelsea replace a central defender, and suddenly had an idea in his mind. He grabbed Scholes: "Paul, I think we can try a counterattack."

Scholes glanced at the Chelsea players and nodded: "They are hardly defenseless now..."

"Give me the ball." Ronaldo feels that his condition is right today and that the whole Manchester United team cannot push it out, so let him dribble the ball alone and make a way out. "Score another goal and the game will be over. Even if there is no goal, you can remind Chelsea to not attack too hard."

Scholes agreed with his idea. After Chelsea ended another attack, Scholes told Van der Sar not to kick off the ball with big feet, but passed the ball to him. After he got the ball, he passed it to Ronaldo.

Next, I will watch Ronaldo's performance alone.

Ronaldo caught the ball, used his outstanding footing skills to shake off Joe Cole who was coming up to press, and then accelerated and started, dribbling the ball to Chelsea's second half.

At this moment, Chelsea's second half was strictly speaking only Terry and Cech. In large blockbusters, the Portuguese can fully utilize his fast speed and excellent skills, and take football to the goal of Chelsea!

Seeing him like this, Chelsea hurriedly returned to defense. Duff, Ferreira, Babayaro and others rushed back to catch up with Ronaldo.

However, the person who took the lead here was Marklele. After Ronaldo got the ball, he began to retreat and prepare for defense. After seeing Ronaldo throw away Joccole, he inserted the diagonal line from the central area towards Ronaldo's dribbling route.

Terry came out at the same time. At the last moment, everyone was red from the eye. Who could care about the arrangement of slowly retreating and delaying time? Terry only thought about cutting off Ronaldo's ball and then taking the opportunity to fight back, and the result...

"Ah! Ronaldo easily waded through Terry, he was so fast!"

After wading through Terry, there was only one Cech left in front of Ronaldo. He had many choices, but no matter which one he chose, he was very, very close to the goal.

The fans in the Old Trafford stands began to cheer loudly, as if they had already seen the golden championship trophy in front of them. Everyone stretched out their hands, as if they were stroking the cold trophy...

Ronaldo looked up at Cech, and the other party seemed to be hesitating whether to attack. He smiled. Whether or not to attack, the result was the same.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind, and his body reacted instinctively, and he jumped up.

But even so, he still couldn't escape the foul behind him. He was taken out by the person behind him, and then there was a violent impact. Inertia made him roll continuously on the ground, almost rolling out of bounds before stopping.

He didn't have time to see who the murderer was because he was rolling back and forth on the ground with his knees in pain. The stands, which were still cheering just now, were all replaced by deafening boos, which was so loud that it was suffocating!

Marklele sat on the ground, not far ahead of him was the painful Ronaldo. Amid the overwhelming boo, he heard a crisp whistle.

Yes, when Ronaldo was about to cut in, he made a flying tackle behind his back without hesitation. He didn't think about tackle first and then bring down the man. He just wanted to take the ball together. He knew the consequences long ago. Without waiting for the referee to come up and drive him away, he stood up from the ground and slowly walked out of the field amid the booing sounds. The referee ran over and lit up a red card behind him!

"This is a very, very bad foul, and it's not an exaggeration to show the red card directly! Chelsea finally paid the price for their desperate attack!"

Seeing that his love general was overturned, Ferguson was furious off the court, and he urged the team doctor to come on the court to check his injuries as soon as possible.

Mourinho looked at Marklele and walked towards him with a blank expression.

It's not long before the end of the game, and now Marklele is sent off with a red card again. Is this the season over?

When Marklele walked out of the field, Ronaldo also got up by himself. However, he shouldn't stand firm, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground. He was still being supported by the Manchester United team doctor who was driving over.

Ronaldo grinned and walked out of the field with the help of the team doctor, sitting on the lawn for emergency treatment from the team doctor.

Seeing this situation, Ferguson also stopped preparing for the replacement, but instead of letting Rooney, who was warming up, he asked him to continue to warm up.

Others from Manchester United are preparing to give this free kick in the frontcourt. They are 34 meters away from the goal and are on the right. If handled properly, they will also have a great threat to Chelsea's goal.
