Chapter 1001 Two-game losing streak

Manchester United was broken by Arsenal away and its point advantage against second-place Chelsea was narrowed to 5 points.

Ferguson is a very pragmatic person. For him, the end of the undefeated record is not a big deal, but losing to Arsenal seriously affected his combat plan.

Ferguson planned this way. He wanted to win the Gunners who had no desires away and then used a substitute to play Chelsea, but now the difference in points is only 5 points. With three rounds left in the league, once the direct dialogue with Chelsea is lost, if there are two rounds left, the league championship will not be so safe.

At this time, whether the main player is fighting for Chelsea to ensure the league championship or playing Chelsea as a substitute, and keeping the energy to play Chelsea in the Champions League is a somewhat difficult choice for Ferguson.

If it were the steady Wenger, he would probably go to the main team to fight Chelsea to ensure the league championship. However, Ferguson is a person who likes to take risks. Even though he is 70 years old, his adventurous spirit has not disappeared at all.

Before the game, Ferguson swore to the media and fans that he would fight Chelsea to the death and win the league championship in the third round.

However, at the beginning of the game, the Chelsea suddenly discovered that Ferguson, who played at home, actually sent a pure substitute lineup. Gao Xiaodong, Rooney, Nani, Scholes, Ferdinand, Vidic, and Fletcher were all hidden, and replaced by substitutes such as Berbatov, Hernandez, Park Ji-sung, Anderson, Carrick, Smalin and Evans.

Manchester United fans in the stands were a little unhappy. Old Trafford Stadium was packed today. Fans wanted to see Manchester United win the championship by stepping on their old rival Chelsea. Unexpectedly, Ferguson came out with a pure substitute lineup, and they all felt like they were deceived.

Most of the Chelsea players who play in the main players also feel deceived. The fool also understands that Manchester United wants to use substitutes to consume their physical fitness, with the purpose of the Champions League semi-final in the mid-week, but Chelsea players are also a little happy because if they can win this game, they will only have two points away from Manchester United. As long as Manchester United draws one in the next two games, they will have a chance to win the championship.

The Chelsea saw Manchester United's pure substitute lineup and thought they could win easily, but Old Trafford's Manchester United substitutes were not easy to mess with. In just 3 seconds of the game, Park Ji-sung made a straight pass, David Luis intercepted and lost. Hernandez, who successfully counter-offside, shot a one-on-one shot from the edge of the penalty area. The ball hit Cech and deflected into the lower left corner. Manchester United magically took the lead at home.

Manchester United fans in the stands gave thunderous applause, and they were both surprised and happy. They didn't expect that Manchester United's substitute's attack power was so strong. With this goal and a steady counterattack, they might not lose to Chelsea.

Ancelotti is very quiet, looking like a Gujing Wubo. As an experienced coach, he feels that conceding goals at the beginning is much better than conceding goals in the end. He doesn't believe that Manchester United's substitute lineup can block Chelsea's ninety minutes.

After Hernandez scored, Chelsea began a fierce counterattack. Karau and Maluda two wingers attacked desperately on Manchester United's side, and then passed the ball to Drogba, and Drogba directly attacked or ferried.

Drogba didn't have much advantage in the face of Vidic and Ferdinand, but it was easy to deal with Evans and Smalin. He used his physical and experience to frequently create threats, which made Manchester United's stands frightened and even lowered his voice to cheer up.

However, Manchester United players were not panicked, because today's mission was not to win, but to consume the energy of Chelsea players and lay a solid foundation for the Champions League final between Manchester United and Chelsea in the mid-week.

Manchester United's substitutes defended with all their might, waiting for an opportunity to play Chelsea's counterattack, and never let Chelsea score easily.

Although Manchester United's lineup is a substitute, the forward line is not bad, and the midfield has advantages. The worst is actually the defender, especially the central defender. Smarin and Evans have very average defensive abilities and experience. They alone cannot fight against Drogba, and Ferguson did not expect them to be able to block Drogba. Manchester United's defense mainly relies on the assisted defense of the midfield.

In the 39th minute of the game, Chelsea finally scored a goal. Ramirez made a cross from the right, Ivanovic headed the ball, and Lampard suddenly stepped forward to Manchester United's small penalty area and shot and scored. This was his third goal this season.

: The score does not satisfy Chelsea. If Chelsea wants to improve their hopes of winning the championship, they must beat Manchester United away."

After Lampard equalized the score, Chelsea's morale boosted and the offensive became even more fierce. They hoped to strike while the iron was hot and defeat Manchester United in one fell swoop.

However, Manchester United's substitutes have long been mentally prepared. They still maintain their own pace and deal with Chelsea to the end.

The first half ended soon, with Manchester United dating against Chelsea at home: a draw.

Manchester United's substitutes were very happy. Such a score surprised them, but Chelsea players were very disappointed and annoyed. If most of their main players came on the court, but they couldn't even beat their substitutes, it would be a bit embarrassing.

After the halftime break, neither side made a substitution and the game continued.

After the second half began, Manchester United suddenly launched another fierce attack, trying to replicate the goal in the first half.

However, Chelsea learned to be smart this time, and they focused their attention at the beginning of the game and did not give Manchester United a chance to attack.

Manchester United failed to successfully attack and immediately retracted to defend, striving to draw Chelsea and maintain a five-point lead.

For Manchester United, if they still have a five-point advantage at the end of the game, the championship will basically be locked. It is impossible for them to not get two points against Blackburn and Blap in the last two rounds.

This score is something that Chelsea cannot accept. In order to maintain the hope of winning the league championship, Ancelotti sent 7 main players to play. If he still cannot win and the mid-week Champions League is affected again, it will be a waste of money.

After 0 minutes, Chelsea launched a strong attack from three lines.

After all, Manchester United's substitutes have been out of the battle for a long time, and their cooperation and ability are lacking. Under the pressure of Chelsea, they finally made a mistake.

In the 70th minute of the game, Chelsea finally overtook the score. Lampard took a corner kick, Berbatov and Smalin were on the top, and Ivanovic headed the ball before Evans, turning the score into 2:

After scoring the goal, Chelsea players and fans celebrated wildly, and Ancelotti rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.

Such a score remains until the end of the game, with only 2 points left in the gap between Chelsea and Manchester United, and there are two rounds in the league, and everything can happen.

Ferguson stood on the sidelines, his face calm, and the situation in front of him was as expected. Although the score difference was within one game, he was not nervous. The initiative was still in the hands of Manchester United, and his destiny was still controlled by Manchester United. Ferguson believed that they could win the last two rounds of the league, making Chelsea's victory today meaningless.

However, in order to continue to consume the physical fitness of Chelsea players, Ferguson replaced defensive player Park Ji-sung, replaced Valencia, and launched an attack on Chelsea.

After overtaking the score, Chelsea was not in a hurry to attack. They retreated and started to fight Manchester United's counterattack.

Relying on defensive counterattacks, Manchester United, who is mainly substitute, can still deal with Chelsea. Once they make a big attack, all of Manchester United's flaws will be revealed. In the 80th minute of the score, Chelsea made a beautiful counterattack, and Maluda scored a goal that locked the victory.
