In fact, after the first half of overtime, the referee did not immediately ask the players to change venues.
Instead, they turned a blind eye and allowed the players from both sides of the final to drink water and massage on the sidelines before listening to the head coach's arrangements for the second half of overtime.
Of course, the most important reason is that the referee Michel himself is tired and needs to receive physical therapy on the sidelines.
Otherwise, if the referee collapses due to cramps, he will definitely become a big laugh in this season's Champions League final.
As a referee who is currently being trained by UEFA, he is not willing to leave a stain on his career.
At this time, correspondent Faria also got the latest tactical changes from Mourinho.
What's interesting is that the on-site director's field of vision is very broad.
When the players of both sides were resting, he just caught Chelsea's physical coach and assistant Faria running towards the stand where Mourinho was, and then the latter handed Faria a note, and soon the live studio commentator gave his own commentary.
"Although Mourinho was sent to the stands, he could see further there, so he could record with a pen when there were problems in the team."
"If Chelsea, with one less player to fight, wins the Champions League this season, then Faria's guest appearance as the correspondent will definitely be a great contribution."
"Chelsea must have made the latest adjustments at this time.
Mourinho habitually records game information in a notebook, so the team will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes in the second half and may even suppress Manchester United tactically."
After Faria conveyed the latest tactical concepts to the players in accordance with Mourinho's request, referee Michel just blew the whistle to signal the players from both sides of the final to return to the field immediately and start the fifteen-minute contest in the second half of overtime.
"The players from both sides of the final stepped onto the court again, which means that their Champions League journey has completely reached the final stage.
If both sides of the final cannot score in the remaining fifteen minutes, then the final will enter tonight.
Penalty shootout in the final stages” BBC commentator Lineker said relaxedly.
Before the start of the second half of overtime, Chelsea made one last substitution adjustment, and this adjustment was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
Joe Cole replaced center Drogba.
Seeing this substitution, Ferguson was very surprised.
Joe Cole's technical characteristics are here.
He has a certain speed and dribbling ability.
It can be said that he has no body, no defensive ability, no defensive ability, and his role is completely inferior to DeRo's.
Drogba is so big, and Drogba can also help the team in defense.
Joe Cole has no such role Regarding this substitution, Huang Jianxiang also had the same doubts: "Is this substitution adjustment in accordance with Mourinho's request?
Logically speaking, if Chelsea, with one less player to fight, wants to remove Drogba, then they should replace it with one."
Defensive players will be used to strengthen the defense, but replacing technical midfielder Joe Cole is questionable."
But they soon understood the principle of this substitution adjustment.
In the first half of overtime, Aiello, who was tired of defending, came to the center position and used the physically fit Joe Cole as a harassing winger on the wing, while Lampard did the actual defense. , Ballack and Mikel are three strong men to complete.
When switching from defense to offense, the football was not handed over to Aiello immediately, but to the feet of Joe Cole who had just replaced him.
Joe Cole's personal ability can ensure that he can control the football at his feet well without losing it when defended by two people, and pass the football calmly.
In this way, Chelsea's ball possession ratio began to slowly increase, which was in sharp contrast to the situation in the first half when they were besieged by Manchester United.
"Chelsea's substitution was not blind, but a purposeful substitution.
It made targeted arrangements in response to the absolute disadvantage in the first half of overtime and used Joe Cole's abundant physical fitness to participate in the defense. , and then used his superb skills to control the ball well at his feet when switching from defense to offense, thereby enhancing his side's ball possession time, that is, directly increasing the number and quality of his side's counterattacks, which can completely make them passive Become proactive” Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said thoughtfully.
In the second half of overtime, Chelsea clearly showed signs of counterattack.
Although they were fighting with one less player on the field, they had the advantage of preventing slippage.
Whether he is attacking or defending, he can be very calm.
Manchester United made many mistakes after the start of the second half of overtime, and even Cristiano Ronaldo was no exception.
After all, physical exertion is still very serious.
The perfect performance of technology must still be based on abundant physical fitness.
Of course, this aspect is mutual.
But because of their long-spiked sneakers, they are better than Manchester United players in emergency stops and changes of direction despite the same lack of physical fitness.
This means that there is no need to worry about slipping during emergency stops and changes of direction.
In the third minute of the second half of overtime, Chelsea created a murderous opportunity.
The cooperation intention of Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo was too obvious.
Essien predicted the passing route in advance, and then intercepted the ball.

The ball was passed to Lampard in front of him without any delay, and the latter did the same, pushing the arch of his foot to the feet of Joe Cole.
Advance very fast Carrick rushed towards Joe Cole aggressively, wanting to steal the ball, but the latter had already been prepared, and used his abundant physical strength to directly stop the ball back, then dunk the ball to the left, opening the tie.
The distance between Carrick and then taking advantage of speed to eat Carrick alive.
Right back Brown realized that Joe Cole was going to take the ball to speed up, so he rushed forward without hesitation, but at this moment, the latter suddenly stopped.
Brown subconsciously followed suit, but the slippery turf did not let him stop.
He stopped immediately and slid forward half a meter.
Joe Cole very cleverly took advantage of the distance that Brown was sliding forward and directed the ball in the opposite direction of Brown. breakthrough Right back Brown was broken through, which meant that the entire right defense was forcibly destroyed.
Rio Ferdinand greeted Vidic and stepped forward to defend his national team teammate Joe Cole.
At the same time, Lampard also stepped in at high speed in the middle.
The game lasted for more than 100 minutes.
With such physical fitness, it is estimated that only the iron man Lampard can get it on the field.
In order to avoid Joe Cole passing the ball to Lampard who came in behind, Hargreaves had to pay attention to this, so Vidic was the only one to defend Aiello head-on.
As soon as Rio Ferdinand left the right center back position, Aiello had the consciousness to move forward into the open space left by the former.
Joe Cole's next handling of the ball showed his brilliance.
In order to let the pass bypass Rio Ferdinand, he deliberately passed a high ball, targeting the right rib of Manchester United's defense.
Ai Luo started fiercely and left Vidic behind in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Joe Cole's pass was relatively far to the side, and he still had the possibility of chasing back.
And now that the game has progressed, Aiello's physical fitness has also declined very obviously.
In order to be able to hit the ball smoothly, he did not directly stop and bring the ball forward like he did in regular games, and then chased the ball.
It is to choose to stop the ball firmly at your feet.
When Aiello controlled the football about thirty meters from the baseline, Vidic was also stuck on his inward path.
Vidic's defensive strategy is clear: give up the wing to block Aiello's inward route.
Ai Luo could see this at a glance.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then his feet began to move.
His right shoulder sank and he made a fake move of holding the ball and cutting inside.
This deceived Vidic to shift his center of gravity to the left.
Then his right foot quickly crossed the football, and the outside instep of his left foot moved the ball forward to the left.
Vidic reacted slowly and pushed his left foot towards the turf.
The reaction force allowed him to regain his center of gravity.
But Ai Luo's action wasn't over yet.
After his body followed the movement of his left foot, he slammed the football back with the inside of his left foot.
Then he gently pushed the football with the arch of his right foot.
He slipped between Vidic's legs.
While moving, Vidic watched the football roll towards his feet.
His left foot subconsciously glanced over, but he soon realized something was wrong.
Because of the slow length of his foot, it took longer to extend it. , and the rolling speed of football is obviously faster.
This is
"Ohygod crotchless," exclaimed Clive Walker on Chelsea TV.
With this sweep of Vidic's left foot, all the weight of his body was concentrated on his right foot.
It happened that the turf in this area was particularly slippery, so his right foot did not step firmly and slid forward.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch" A burst of exclamations erupted from the stands.
And Aiello also gave way and passed by the other side, which was Vidic's left side.
Seeing this scene, Ferguson subconsciously took a step back, but fortunately Queiroz supported him.
The camera returns to the court.
Vidic is experienced and naturally knows the consequences of Aiello's past.

It will definitely be a sure win, so he cannot let Aiello pass.
While Vidic fell backwards, he consciously raised his left foot up, trying to deliberately kick Aiello to the ground.
The latter didn't know what Vidic was thinking and wanted to jump up to hide.
He passed this foul, but due to his obvious decline in physical fitness, he did not jump high enough.
The instep of his left foot was brought up by Vidic's toe.
In mid-air, he instantly lost his center of gravity and fell to the turf. beep Immediately, referee Michelle's whistle also sounded.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him again.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was Vidic who committed the foul this time, which means that he will at least get a yellow card.
However, the terrible thing is that he already has a yellow card on his back.
This is the rhythm of 10 against 10:
