Chapter 860

It's fried.

A penalty kick is like a goal, and one more person has to be sent off.

It's not the average player who gets the red card. It's the core of Manchester United's defence and the most popular candidate for the captain, Vidic.

United can achieve the present results, Gao Xiaodong's play is needless to say, in addition, Vidic and Ferdinand's golden partner, without the two of them to build the iron wall, Gao Xiaodong in front of the goal is useless.

"Black whistle!"

"Miscalculation!"

"Cancel the red card!"

"Cancel the red card!"

……

Today's United fans are not many, but at this time, a small number of United fans all jumped up, they roared at the stadium, put pressure on the referee Atkinson.

Of course, the most urgent thing is Vidic. He is worried not only because the red dot package will affect the outcome of the game, but also because it is a critical period for Manchester United to choose the captain. If he gets a red card and leads to Manchester United losing, it will have a great impact on him.

Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand are the favourites of the captain, and they have won the most support from the old captain Gary. Neville is about to retire, any bad influence may make the balance of victory to Ferdinand.

Vidic anxiously ran to Atkinson and said that he had no intention of handball. Manchester United players immediately surrounded him and explained to Atkinson, but Atkinson had already pulled out the red card. How could he put it back again? He coldly signaled that there was no problem in the penalty, so that Vidic quickly left the court.

Vidic still does not want to leave, he also wants to explain to the referee Atkinson, Atkinson did not listen, pointed to the field to let him out quickly.

Ferguson is also anxious. Manchester United have been unbeaten for 17 games. If Vidic is sent off, it will be more difficult for Chelsea, who are eager to catch up with Manchester United, to attack fiercely and defend unsteadily.

Ferguson also went to the fourth official in front of protest, he thought the ball should not be a penalty, it is just an unintentional handball.

However, the fourth official can not decide the referee's decision, he can only cry and smile to other people, let you explain to Ferguson, let Ferguson back to his seat.

Ferguson shook his head speechless and could only let Smalling change his clothes and play as a replacement centre back.

The head coach of Chelsea, Carlo Ancelotti, laughed. He was almost desperate in the first half. Unexpectedly, he received an unexpected gift at the last moment. The opponent was short of Vidic, so the defensive line would not be as steady as before. This also means that the chance for Chelsea has come.

In the VIP box, Abramovich was overjoyed to see the red dot package. Now the hope of Chelsea's reversal has greatly increased. If it really does, the 8-point gap will not be so desperate.

Joel's face darkened, and if Abramovich wasn't with him, he would be rude.

Playboy Edward also saw the situation is not good for Manchester United, he was still talking to Emma. Watson was so courteous that he didn't dare to talk now.

Vidic finally reluctantly went back to the dressing room. Frank Lampard, the heart of Chelsea's midfield, came to the penalty spot to take the penalty.

This is a confrontation between old opponents. Lampard and van der Sar have been playing for many years. They all know the technical characteristics of their opponents. Whether they can score goals depends on whether they can cheat them.

Lampard made a small run-up and pumped a powerful cold shot into the middle of the goal.

This free throw was very tricky. Edwin van der Sar had already made a side attack. Seeing the ball flying to the middle, Edwin van der Sar sighed and could only watch the ball enter the net.

1: 1

in the last minute of the first half, Lampard's goal equalized the score for Chelsea.

After the goal, Lampard raised his hands and stood on the penalty spot, waiting for his teammates to come and congratulate him.

Chelsea's players rushed in and put Lampard on the grass.

Announcer Andy Gray sighed: "the score has been leveled, but there is still one less player. This change is too fast. In a flash, the situation has changed suddenly. Manchester United, which used to be dominant, is now completely passive. Let's see how Sir Alex Ferguson can deal with this situation."

CCTV five commentator He Hui said: "in fact, today's referee's decision is questionable. It's handball, but Vidic certainly has no intention. In the case that Vidic has got a yellow card, Atkinson's yellow card should be more cautious. Originally there was a balance on the field, but now the balance is broken. It's estimated that it's all Chelsea's attack and Manchester United's defense 。”

However, after the Chelsea celebrations, the game started again, Smalling continued to warm up, while Ferguson did not change. At the end of the first half, which was one or two minutes, Ferguson was ready to make adjustments after the half-time.

Manchester United's players went back to the dressing room in low spirits and thought they would be blown by Sir Alex's blowers for another 15 minutes.

However, Ferguson did not spray the players. Seeing that all the players had arrived, he said: "maybe you all think I would criticize you, but I don't criticize you today. You played very well. There was no way to deal with the last yellow card and penalty kick. We were unlucky."Seeing that Sir Alex Ferguson didn't criticize them, Manchester United's players were relieved to talk about the problems in the game.

Ferguson and other players were almost talking, coughed and said to the players: "there is still half of the game. We are absolutely at a disadvantage. Now it's hard for us to win the game. We have to recognize the reality, but if we want to keep a point, I think there is still a great hope. In the second half, our goal is to get a point and win the game The defense is put in the first place, waiting for the opportunity to fight back. In the second half, Xiaodong wants to return to the middle. He is the core of our counterattack. We need to find Xiaodong with the ball and let them organize. On the attack line, Rooney also wants to come back to defend, you can only run more now, raise your hand when you are tired, I will let you down to rest

The fifteen minutes in midfield passed quickly and the second half game resumed.

At the half-time, Ferguson made a substitution adjustment, replacing Scholes with Smalling, replacing him with a pure centre back, and returning Gao Xiaodong from the position of winger to the midfield. Manchester United's formation has also become 441.

Ferguson's intention is very obvious. The centre gives up Scholes, a veteran with good passing skills, and lets Gao Xiaodong return In the middle, that's one point to hold.

However, the fans and commentators all understand that Ferguson's replacement is not a cat and dog. It was last season's League champion, and it's still the home of Chelsea. Here, Manchester United won only one game in eight years. How dare they be careless? Besides, Manchester United are 11 points ahead of Chelsea, and they can even afford to lose this game.
