The focus of the seventh round of the 2007-2008 English Premier League was not only a battle of wits between the two coaches behind the scenes, but also a direct contest between the two teams on their strongest attack points.
The media generally believes that the home team Manchester United's top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo and Chelsea's top scorer Aiello will affect the outcome of this game, just like the Community Shield match that started before the season, if not for Aiello's abnormal performance. , Manchester United can win the trophy with Cristiano Ronaldo's brace.
Therefore, the performance of the two people in this game will directly affect the final result.
Therefore, it is normal for the two to become the headlines before the start of the league.
Is Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo better, or Chelsea's Aiello more perverted?
In fact, when the media was making a fuss about Cristiano Ronaldo and Aiello, the two were already chatting lively in text messages, but they were not talking about this game, but about famous international beauties, or those who Models are more irritating As for why the two are involved in this, it can only be finally revealed after the game.
Thousands of miles away in China, the only Premier League clubs they were familiar with before were Liverpool and Manchester United.
Therefore, Manchester United has many loyal fans in China, and Chelsea appeared in front of Chinese fans when they won the Premier League championship in a record-breaking season in 2004 and 2005.
At that time, the number of loyal fans was naturally less than that of the Red Devils and Manchester United.
But the current loyal fans of Manchester United have a difficult choice, because while they are Manchester United fans, they are also fans of Aiello in their hearts.
Now it starts to become troublesome.
If you support this, you cannot support that.
In the end, after all the entanglements, they could only choose to hope that Aiello would score and Manchester United would win.
This red-blue battle between the champions and runners-up last season attracted the attention of all Europe and even the world, but the progress of the game was very different from what everyone had guessed before the game.
First, in the third minute of the game, Aiello scored with a 32-meter direct free kick.
The goal was scored earlier than everyone expected, and the rest of the game followed the momentum after Aiello's goal.
However, the game took a turn in the 32nd minute when Mikel took the ball and attacked.
When the ball was cleverly intercepted by Evra, he was anxious to keep the opponent in place, but because the turf sprinkled with water was very slippery, he accidentally tackled Evra's supporting foot.
The referee Dean on duty directly A red card sent him off.
This sudden change on the field stunned the media and commentators who were paying attention to this red-blue battle, and they were unable to utter a single word for a while.
Regarding this penalty, the visiting team naturally had endless grievances.
Captain Terry immediately went over to plead with Mikel, and at this time, the big screen also showed the slow motion of the scene just now.
It was indeed because the turf was slippery. caused by reasons, but the result cannot be changed, because Dean wants to maintain his dignity as the referee, and it is impossible to change the decision.
In the end, Chelsea could only suffer this bitter pill on the road.
"Chelsea were really unlucky in the away game.
Although they were leading by one goal, being sent off when the match was evenly matched was undoubtedly a heavy blow, and the one who was sent off was midfielder Mikel.
When Lampard is absent due to injury, it will definitely have a profound impact on their defensive hardness in the midfield and the speed when switching from defense to offense."
Andy Gray said looking at Mikel's helpless and slow stance.
Immediately afterwards, his commentator continued: "It is true.
Lampard was absent due to injury, Ballack was not integrated into the team, and another person was sent off in this game, and this red-blue war began again. full of suspense” Mourinho kept complaining on the sidelines.
If it were as usual, the referee Dean would definitely send him to the stands without hesitation, but after the mistake just now, he felt compassion when facing Mourinho, showed no mercy and only gave him A yellow card.
In order to ensure the defensive hardness of the midfield and normal offensive and defensive operations, Mourinho could only withdraw one player from the forward line.
Neither Aiello nor Shevchenko showed a decline in competitive status and physical condition.
They chose to replace right winger Malouda and replace him with strongman Sidwell to ensure the defensive hardness of the midfield and normal offensive and defensive operations.
However, facts have proven that Sidwell has not been perfectly integrated into Chelsea's tactical system, and his performance on both ends of the offense and defense is unsatisfactory.
In defense, Makelele is still there to help with defense and defense, and there are enough opportunities to use it.
He adapted to the team's defensive system on the spot, prompting him to integrate into the team's system faster.
But when switching from defense to offense, Sidwell seemed relatively clumsy and did not have the aura he had at Reading.
Therefore, Joe Cole's responsibility became even greater.
Sometimes even Aiello had to retreat to his own position.
Use the opponent's defensive thirty-meter area to catch the ball and counterattack.
According to Mourinho's idea, he is prepared to maintain the 1:0 score until the end of the first half, and then make detailed changes during the halftime break to ensure that he can take away three points at Old Trafford.
However, Plans often fail to keep up with changes.
"Sidwell, who replaced Malouda for passive reasons, performed poorly, but with Chelsea's overall defense, Manchester United's offense was still unable to threaten the goal guarded by Cech.
As long as the 1:0 score was maintained until midfield If we rest, the away team’s chance of winning at the Dream Theater will increase by at least 30%, and the game will also enter injury time.”

AV5 commentator Zhan Jun said, but there was a hint of worry in his tone.
Mourinho has handed the folder in his hand to his assistant Villas-Boas and is about to turn and walk towards the player tunnel.
At this moment, in the first minute of injury time, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly switched from the right to the left, used his impressive speed to force a break through Paulo Ferreira, and then passed a high goal A quality half-lob.
Tevez, who had complained about Aiello before the game, dived to the top without any interference from the front point.
Cech was stunned and sighed as he watched the ball.
Facing the overwhelming cheers, Mourinho's facial expression changed significantly, and then he walked to the locker room without looking back.
It is worth mentioning that after Tevez scored, he climbed up from the turf, ran twenty or thirty meters, and roared at Aiello.
No matter which head coach it is, it is intolerable for the team to concede a goal in half-time injury time, because it is impossible to be physically exhausted in the first half, so it can only be explained by lack of concentration.
If a goal is conceded due to lack of concentration, there must be a responsible player.
Right back Ferreira, who was easily thrown away by Cristiano Ronaldo with his speed and sent a cross, must have an unshirkable responsibility, but the biggest responsibility is not his, but the Israeli international Ben Haim, who did not keep an eye on him.
Tevez was diagonally inserted forward, which means that it is unforgivable to be distracted at the last moment of the game.
However, what surprised Ferreira and Ben Haim who were frightened was that head coach Mourinho did not criticize them.
Instead, after the ten players on the field entered the locker room, they quickly took the time to arrange the tactics for the second half.
The same was true in the home team's locker room.
Ferguson did not keep yelling at his players as usual.
Instead, he was in a similar situation to Mourinho and began to rigorously lay out specific tactics for the second half.
Because Chelsea will fight with ten men in the 45 minutes of regular time in the second half, which means that Manchester United will have a numerical advantage during this period.
If they use the skills at their feet and the cooperation of the players, as long as the physical fitness of the Chelsea players is If it collapses, then winning this game will not be an extravagant dream.
By then, the points gap with the top team Chelsea can be narrowed, which will be of great help in reducing pressure in the next league.
As long as there are no major mistakes in the next league, we can overtake Chelsea in the second round of the second half of the season. , the league championship is at your fingertips "Cristiano" Ferguson looked at Cristiano Ronaldo, who immediately perked up and looked at the manager.
"Except for that breakthrough assist in the first half, you were not active enough in the rest of the time, so I hope you become more active and more aggressive in the second half, otherwise I will let you calm down on the bench."
Ferguson said: "Also, don't forget the 40 goal bet this season."
Other teammates also looked at Cristiano Ronaldo, and they couldn't help but admire him.
He dared to make a bet with Ferguson, and his goals in a season turned out to be 40.
He didn't take it seriously when he heard that he was not active enough, but he became excited when he heard about the 40 goals, because this was the plan set by Ferguson for him to gradually surpass himself, and the final transcendence was naturally Aiello, that terrifying goal.
Efficiency is something he desperately wants to catch up with.
Last season, he made a similar bet with Ferguson, but in the end he failed to complete the task by one goal, so this season's bet was superimposed.
It would have been fine if he had not achieved the goal in the past, but this season is different, because Aiello has come to the Premier League, which means that there is complete comparison.
He does not want to lag too far behind Aiello in the scorer list, so what can he say about himself?
He was also the best player in the Premier League last season.
We cannot let the best player in La Liga steal the best player in the Premier League.
Thinking of this, Cristiano Ronaldo subconsciously clenched his fists and his eyes were bright.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was full of fighting spirit.
Ferguson had a unique vision and could see the difference in Cristiano Ronaldo at a glance.
He knew that there would definitely be an explosion of form in the second half.
The fifteen-minute break at halftime was a fleeting moment for both players in the home and away locker rooms.
The same is true for the fans in the stands.
Many fans even lined up outside the stadium to buy high-calorie foods such as French fries, burgers, and Cokes.
As a result, players from both sides have already begun to enter the stadium, so many fans gave up the idea of continuing to line up to buy things, returned to their seats, and waited for the start of the game, because they all knew that at the beginning of the second half, Manchester United would attack desperately.
The competition will definitely be very exciting.
If I miss the exciting shot because I bought snacks, I will regret it in my intestines
