In the 21st round of the 2008-2009 English Premier League season, the battle between Manchester United and Chelsea at Tianwangshan began at Old Trafford.
The battle at Tianwangshan, which attracted the world's attention, kicked off on time at 7pm local time in the UK.
As usual, Aiello, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney were talking and laughing before the game, without any differences.
For this league, both sides have been preparing for a long time and have put forward their strongest lineups.
It is worth mentioning that the visiting team Chelsea did not use their usual 433 formation, but a 442 formation that was relatively more balanced between offense and defense.
The goalkeeper is still Cech, the four backs are Ashley Cole, Terry, Carvalho and Ivanovic, the four midfielders are Essien, Lampard, Ballack and Modric, and the forwards are It was Aiello partnering with Drogba.
If Manchester United really thinks that Chelsea has slacked off in order to ensure the balance of offense and defense, then welcoming them will definitely be a defeat.
Although Aiello is standing on the forward line, his position is not fixed.
The entire frontcourt is his area of activity, and he is very mobile.
Chelsea's four-man midfielder, except for Modric, the other three are all muscular men, but they still have flexibility at their feet.
Moreover, all four of them have the talent to organize offense and can deliver cannonballs to Aiello and Drogba at any time. , if Ferguson is going to let his team compete with Chelsea in the midfield, they will most likely lose the initiative.
The formation of the home team Manchester United is still the usual 442 formation.
The goalkeeper is veteran Edwin van der Sar, the four defenders are Evra, Rio Ferdinand, Vidic and Hargreaves, and the four midfielders are Cristiano Ronaldo, Fletcher, Carrick and Park Ji-sung.
The forward line is Rooney partnered with Berbatov.
With referee Weber's whistle, the game officially started.
"CCTV CCTV, what we are broadcasting for you now is the 21st round of the English Premier League in the 2008-2009 season.
Manchester United faced Chelsea at home.
Manchester United, the home team that kicked off first, wore traditional red tops and white shorts.
From the right side of the screen Attacking to the left, visiting team Chelsea, wearing their traditional blue shirts and shorts, attack from the left to the right of the screen.”
CCTV Premier League commentator Zhan Jun began to unify the opening remarks.
Although the game was played at two o'clock in the morning Beijing time, it still did not affect the enthusiasm of domestic fans for watching the game.
It's just that they are still torn in their hearts, not knowing whether to support Chelsea, where Ai Luo is, or support the Red Devils and Manchester United, who they have been in love with for a long time.
It's really hard to decide.
After the game started, both sides played very carefully, slowly advancing from the backcourt, not daring to attack in one go, and had to go through a wave of tentative attacks to test the opponent's defensive level.
There were no surprises.
Both sides of the game focused on defense and offense as a supplement.
After solving the defensive problems, they slowly participated in the offense.
The first shot was taken by Manchester United at home.
Cristiano Ronaldo used his ultra-fast pace to get past the defense of Modric and Essien, and suddenly took a long shot about 25 meters away from the goal.
However, Under the interference of Terry's forward blocking, the quality was not very good and it was higher than the crossbar.
Immediately, Chelsea also organized a wave of attacks and retaliated.
Lampard suddenly made a long pass in the middle about 45 meters away from Manchester United's bottom line.
Drogba beat Rio Ferdinand and Vidic to return the ball to the top.
Aiello rushed the ball forward before Fletcher.
A poke, and then a long shot before Evra grabbed it.
Although the quality was much better than Cristiano Ronaldo's previous long shot, Van der Sar concentrated and blocked the ball out of the baseline with one palm.
"Within less than five minutes of the game, both sides of the game contributed a wave of wonderful offense to us.
I believe that there will be countless wonderful shots in this game."
BBC commentator Lineker changed his voice and said: "In the past five In minutes, there is a clear gap in the status of the core players of both sides.
Ai can completely guarantee the accuracy of the shot under the interference of Evra, while Cristiano Ronaldo fired the anti-aircraft cannon under the interference of Terry.
This can be seen from this.
The essential difference between the two of them” Lampard's corner kick was pushed out of the penalty area by Vidic, which relieved the pressure on the defense this time.
The players on the field are very involved in the game, and the coaches of both sides off the field are also thinking about how to break the deadlock and send the ball into the opponent's goal.
After all, a draw is the result of last resort.
The first choice is to win And even more victory

"Both sides of the game focused on defense rather than offense.
This was something we did not expect before the game, because before the game both players and the head coach expressed their confidence in this game, but what we did not expect was that both sides They all set off smoke bombs for the opponent, and as expected, the defense was reliable at the critical moment."
The neutral commentator said calmly.
Before you know it, the game has gone on for twenty minutes, and the main focus of both sides is still on defense.
Mourinho, who was standing off the court, turned his head and glanced at the old coach Ferguson, who was still shaking in energy, and sneered in his heart: "If you are mainly defensive, let me see how long you have to endure it."
For Chelsea, a draw is not an unacceptable result, after all, it is an away game.
But the result of the draw is completely unacceptable to Manchester United.
They have already lost to Chelsea on the road.
If there is a draw at home, it will definitely affect the team's next energy, which will not be conducive to their competition for the league.
Championship, because for wealthy teams, the most important thing is often the Champions League.
At this time, Carrick suddenly made a long pass from the center circle and hit the Chelsea defense on the right.
Center Berbatov, who was pulled out to the left, used his height advantage to head the ball back to Cristia who came in behind.
Noronaldo.
Whether it was Carvalho, Essien or Modric, they all became nervous subconsciously and focused all their attention on Cristiano Ronaldo.
After several seasons of competition, they already knew how much this cycling boy has become now.
It's so powerful, as long as you don't pay attention, it will definitely be a disaster.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo did not choose to dribble the ball himself.
Instead, he flicked the arch of his foot and passed the ball to the defensive rib between Carvalho and Ivanovic.
Ouch ouch Immediately, a burst of cheers broke out in the stands.
Berbatov followed up at high speed, then took the ball towards the penalty area and cut inside.
Terry, who was defending his national teammate Wayne Rooney in the middle, had to move diagonally to defend Berbatov.
Therefore, in this flash of lightning, Chelsea's defense had a fatal flaw.
Berbatov was not greedy for credit.
Seeing Terry step forward to defend, he passed the ball back with the outside of his right foot, which was the undefended area of Chelsea's penalty area.
For a moment, all Chelsea defenders were stunned.
Logically speaking, Berbatov's pass should be to Rooney, who was temporarily unmarked, but he chose to pass the ball outside the penalty area.
In fact, this choice is the wisest choice.
As a world-class central defender, Terry naturally knows the consequences of leaving the defensive area, so he focuses most of his attention on Berbatov's passing route.
As long as he dares to pass the ball, he is absolutely 100% sure.
Destroy the ball.
Berbatov chose to pass the ball to the no-man's land in the arc of the penalty area because of the pre-match drills and the defensive players' habitual thinking.
When the offensive team entered the penalty area, the defensive players' minds There will always be a temporary short-circuit situation, and you only know to run into the penalty area, ignoring the area of the arc of the penalty area that you passed previously.
"Cristiano Ronaldo" The camera turned to Chelsea's penalty area, and the local Manchester commentator shouted loudly.
Mourinho's eyes almost popped out of his head in the visiting team's command area.
As a top coach, it is impossible not to know the danger factor of missing someone in this position, especially when the missing person is the most dangerous person in Manchester United's formation.
Cristiano Ronaldo Ballack, who had recovered to the penalty spot, followed up with his consciousness, but his body failed to change immediately.
He watched helplessly as Cristiano Ronaldo swung his right foot in front of the penalty area.
The football was like a cannonball, flying straight to the upper right corner of the goal, which is the far corner of the goal.
Barak jumped to the side in a hurry, but he was still half a beat too slow.
Terry stretched his leg, but also did not touch the football.
Cech reacted quickly.
In fact, he was already ready to save at the same time that Cristiano Ronaldo raised his right foot.
Being tall and long, he had a great advantage in making the save.
But this time when he threw himself to the side and reached exhaustion, he found that he had a deep feeling of powerlessness.
The flying height and angle of the football are excellent.

It is rare for Cech to fly from the near corner to the far corner.
If he can also cover the upper right corner, he cannot be called a goalkeeper, but can only be called a goalkeeper.
Swish The football hit the snow-white net hard before stopping its forward momentum, and then fell to the turf.
Immediately afterwards, huge energy erupted in the sky above Old Trafford, sweeping the entire stadium.
"gooooooooooooooooooooa" The Manchester United TV commentator in the live studio shouted hoarsely.
After scoring the goal, Cristiano Ronaldo was very excited and full of emotions.
He ran directly to the right corner and shouted.
"Berbatov passed the ball beautifully, and Cristiano Ronaldo shot even better.
His goal helped Manchester United lead Chelsea by one goal at home.
Now the pressure is on the visiting team Chelsea."
BBC commentator Lineker saw the camera and gave Ai On Luo's face, the words changed: "Cristiano Ronaldo fulfills his promise, then Ai in the camera must respond in the shortest possible time":
