The goal was grabbed by Chelsea without any suspense, and Ivanovic topped the ball to Ramirez.

Ramirez passed the ball to Lampard under Rooney's hard press, and Lampard was pressed by Gao Xiaodong again and had to pass the ball back to his defender Ivanovic.

Ivanovic is completely tall and can serve as a central defender, but his speed is at the full-back level. Seeing that the midfield was pressed and there was no contact point, Ivanovic rushed up with the ball.

Manchester United adopted a point-to-point defense in the midfield. Hernandez failed to catch up at the first time. Ivanovic dribbled the ball and inserted it for a while, no one went to defend. Even if he went to defend, he would have a free position. The difference between it and not defending was not big.

After Ivanovic dribbled the ball and advanced through the half, Manchester United's defensive players increased, and Valencia shrank and assisted defense, blocking Ivanovic's way out.

At this position, Ivanovic dared not break through. He is a central defender, not a full-back, and it is fatal to make a mistake and be hit to counterattack.

Seeing the right back Bosingwa coming up, Ivanovic passed the ball to Bosingwa, retreated back and defended himself, giving the offensive area to his teammate Ramirez who was following.

Torres and Bosingwa made a brilliant two-pass two-way cooperation on the right. Nani and Evra made a defensive mistake, and Bosingwa hit the bottom line and passed the ball across the penalty area.

Defending cross and header Vidic performed well. He grabbed the front point and blocked the ball towards the sideline, but Torres intercepted the ball from the sideline and passed it to the penalty area again.

Torres' cross arc was a bit high, and no one touched the ball in the middle, and the ball flew directly out of the sideline on the other side.

Manchester United full-back Rafael made a clearance ball, Ferdinand and Drogba competed for the landing point, Ferdinand's elbow hit Drogba's nose, Drogba's nose bleeding profusely, and he covered his face and lay on the ground.

Referee Malenko showed no mercy to Ferdinand, so he took out a yellow card to warn Ferdinand.

The team doctor came on the court to give Drogba a simple treatment. Drogba used two cotton balls to block his nostrils and continued to join the game.

The Blues fans were deeply inspired and gave warm applause to the Blues' veteran.

On-site commentator Andy Grey said: "Drogba is really good. He is 33 years old and his fighting spirit is still so tenacious. In fact, the Blues now owe him a Champions League champion."

Andy Gray's partner Sonnes said: "If you say so, Liverpool also owe Gerald a league title."

The game continued, Chelsea sent a free kick, Lampard passed the ball into the penalty area, the ball was pushed out by Ferdinand, and Essin grabbed the landing point in the middle and volleyed directly, but the ball did not hit the main part and flew high to the stands.

With a little more than ten minutes into the game, Chelsea had an absolute advantage, most of the balls were in Manchester United's half, and Manchester United didn't get many offensive opportunities.

But such a situation cannot satisfy Chelsea fans, because Chelsea's shots are not many and there is no big threat. Manchester United played several fast frontcourt players today, with an obvious goal, which is to play Chelsea's counterattack. In order to fight with Manchester United in the midfield and grab the ball, their defense line is higher than usual. Once Manchester United seizes the opportunity to counterattack, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Ferguson was still satisfied with the performance of Manchester United players in the ten minutes of the game. It was normal to lose. It was not accidental that Manchester United failed to win at Stamford Bridge in 9 years. Chelsea performed far better than usual in this field. Manchester United's strength is similar to Chelsea. It is of course very difficult for Manchester United to defeat Chelsea, which performed superbly.

However, Ferguson is not very satisfied with Vidic's performance. Vidic is only 30 years old and is at the peak of a central defender. Facing Torres, who has just revisited the past ten games and has not scored goals soon, I am really sorry for his reputation and strength for his performance.

This is the inner demon!

But Vidic can only overcome it himself.

Ferguson now puts all his expectations of victory on Gao Xiaodong.

Compared with the last Stamford Bridge battle, Gao Xiaodong's shooting skills have improved significantly. Ferguson believes that Gao Xiaodong has the ability to break through Chelsea's goal.

Now the Champions League semi-finals are not the league. As long as Manchester United scores, Chelsea will definitely attack later, so that the fast horses arranged by Ferguson can play a role.

After resisting Chelsea's attack for more than ten minutes, the mentality of Manchester United players gradually stabilized. Van dersar served the ball and he was about to kick off the ball with his big foot, but Gao Xiaodong returned to the midfield and reached out to ask Van dersar for the ball, not allowing him to kick off the ball.

Van der Sar passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and Torres quickly came over to press and pressed Gao Xiaodong.

Drogba also cut off the connection between Gao Xiaodong and Fletcher, forcing Gao Xiaodong to pass the ball back to the defender.

Gao Xiaodong made a move to pass the ball back to Vidic, but suddenly Cruyff turned around and passed Torres who wanted to press Vidic.

After turning around, Gao Xiaodong's vision became wider. He passed it to Rooney who was retreating. Rooney returned to Gao Xiaodong without waiting for his opponent to come up.

Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to Nani again, Nani tried to break through, and Jirkov instantly recruited double teams, Nani was also kicked on the heel. Fortunately, the full-back Evra was experienced and followed up to make up for defense when Nani tried to pass by, and stole the ball again.

Evra passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong again, Gao Xiaodong controlled the ball, and then passed it to Valencia.

Although Gao Xiaodong did not speak, he was the core of the midfield. He passed the ball several times in a row. His teammates immediately understood what he meant, and he wanted to control the ball in the midfield and backcourt, so Valencia did not sprint forward and passed the ball back to Raphael.

Manchester United kept passing the ball in the middle and backcourt with Gao Xiaodong as the center, forcing Chel to put his troops into the frontcourt to press, destroy Manchester United's possession, and see if there is any opportunity to intercept the ball in the frontcourt to counterattack.

Manchester United's ball control is not the purpose, but to change the rhythm of the game. Seeing Chelsea pressing heavily in the frontcourt, Gao Xiaodong suddenly accelerated to get the ball and threw Lampard forward, crossing the center line with lightning speed and penetrated directly into Chelsea's penalty area.

Although Gao Xiaodong is still far from Chelsea's penalty area, the momentum is very fierce. Chelsea's midfielder Ramirez dares not take the snatch, worried that he will face the back line after being broken through by Gao Xiaodong. He began to retreat and approach the back line, reducing Gao Xiaodong's offensive space.

Essin and Jerkov tacitly pulled in, and the three of them formed a siege against Gao Xiaodong.

Although Gao Xiaodong still has room to dribble, Ramirez is close to the defender. If he cannot break through Chelsea's two-layer defense line, he will be surrounded by four or five people.

Gao Xiaodong is not young, but he is definitely not a reckless person. His vision and overall view are much better than it seems. After compressing Chelsea's defense line, he immediately passed it to Nani, allowing Nani to use his skills on the wing.

Nani dribbled the ball and broke through Essin's defense in two consecutive fake moves, but Essin was very fast. Before Nani took two steps, Essin chased from behind. Nani shook the ball back again, but when he wanted to turn around and lead forward, Essin came up.

As soon as his body collided, Nani couldn't stand up and did not do it properly. Essin broke the ball out of the sideline with a kick.

Gao Xiaodong compressed the space in the middle, waited for Nani to break through the side, and thin the defense in the middle, and then as long as Nani passed it over, Gao Xiaodong had a chance to shoot directly, but he didn't expect that Nani was so sticky that the ball was actually destroyed by Essin.

Gao Xiaodong was so angry that he cursed Shaobing and quickly ran to the side to receive Nani's outbound ball.

Nani threw the ball to Gao Xiaodong, who looked unhappy, and quickly ran to the open position, wanting to cooperate with Gao Xiaodong, but after Gao Xiaodong made a posture of stopping the ball with his chest, when the ball flew to his chest, Gao Xiaodong suddenly turned around and let the ball pass.

Gao Xiaodong's fake move shook Esin, who was close to defending him in a very embarrassing manner. He lost his defensive position and quickly reached out to pull Gao Xiaodong.

When Essin bought the jersey, he felt his palm slipping, as if he had caught a catfish and slipped directly out of his hand.

Gao Xiaodong got rid of Essin and dribbled the ball horizontally toward the middle of the court.

Ramirez and Lampard ran over to block the ball one after another, preventing Gao Xiaodong from wading the ball.

Gao Xiaodong led more than ten meters horizontally and suddenly stopped urgently, looking like he was going to shoot. However, as soon as the opponent stopped, Gao Xiaodong suddenly passed the ball to Valencia, who was unguarded on the right, and turned around at a right angle and penetrated into Chelsea's penalty area.

Gao Xiaodong's sideways attracted Chelsea's defense to the left side of the center. Valencia had almost no obstacles to the bottom. When left-back Ashley Cole came, Valencia saw Gao Xiaodong step into the penalty area and the ribs of Rooney and Hernandez also circled the penalty area. He passed the ball back to Gao Xiaodong without hesitation.

Gao Xiaodong adjusted his step while running, and shot with a burst of shot against the ball with his right foot.

The shot was decisive, sharp, fast and fierce. The ball went straight to the right side of the goal, and there was no time for the goalkeeper to save.

When Valencia passed the ball, goalkeeper Cech was ready to save it, but by the time he realized that he had made half the move, the ball had already flew over.

When Gao Xiaodong shot, Chelsea fans were heartbroken. The action was too fast and too fierce. They could not imagine that Cech could save. But what excited the Blues fans was that goalkeeper Cech became a decoration, but Gao Xiaodong's shot failed to pass the post, and the ball hit the post with a bang and bounced out.

The goal trembled! Stamford Bridge Stadium was silent in an instant, only Gao Xiaodong let out a regretful roar.

This non-stop shot focused almost all the essence of Gao Xiaodong's shooting technique. After the ball was removed from his feet, Gao Xiaodong felt that he had it. He didn't expect that this shot that was almost certain was blocked by the goal post.
Chapter completed!
