"Manchester United's counterattack was very exciting.
It can be said that it was the most threatening offense in the entire first half.
I don't know if Ferguson saw the team's offensive changes.
It is difficult to achieve results with a strong attack against Chelsea's solid defense.
It is only wise to use Cristiano Ronaldo’s super personal ability to defend and counterattack.” the Manchester United TV commentator concluded during the attack.
Of course, Ferguson discovered the problem right away and called Fletcher to his side while Chelsea was forming a wall to give him face-to-face instructions.
Fletcher had no doubts about head coach Ferguson's arrangements and immediately informed the players on the field of the tactical changes through gestures.
Terry's foul gave Manchester United a direct free kick about 28 meters away from the goal.
It was about 80 degrees to the right goal post.
It was more suitable for a left-footed player to take the penalty.
However, Manchester United's number one direct free kick taker was Cristia.
Noronaldo, and this free kick is also within his range, so it should be taken by him.
Cech therefore also arranged for a wall of up to five men to interfere with Cristiano Ronaldo's free kick.
Since the Chelsea players who become the wall are all big men over 1.85 meters, they have great interference with Cristiano Ronaldo, who takes the set kick.
His set kick style is almost the same as Ai Luo, and they both need enough Falling distance, too close to the goal and too high the wall will affect his judgment on the height after jumping from the wall, making it impossible to find the best route to score.
In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo had no choice but to give up the near corner and choose the far corner.
However, Cech caught him on this route.
He put his palms in front of his chest to cushion the fierce momentum of the football.
The football bounced to the ground, and Cech once again pushed it with both hands.
The ball was caught and the crisis was temporarily resolved.
After Chelsea re-opened the ball, they soon discovered that the Manchester United players who had been pressing high at the beginning had all shrunk back and were unable to react for a moment.
Having been pressed by Manchester United in the frontcourt before, I had to maintain a high level of mental concentration, and suddenly changed from being under high pressure to being relaxed, which will always be uncomfortable.
Mourinho, who was sitting in the coaching bench and recording the changes on the field with a pen, frowned subconsciously.
Manchester United's tactical changes were too obvious, so he could see them at a glance.
This is equivalent to retracting your fist, and then charging hard after a certain distance.
Want to fight counterattack again Mourinho grinned, then turned to his assistant Villas-Boas and asked him to go to the sidelines to inform the players not to take advantage of Manchester United's retreat and raise the offensive flag, since they wanted to shrink the space. , then let them shrink.
Anyway, it is our side that is in the lead, so we can do whatever we like.
In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo's quick counterattack just now caused Terry to foul and receive a yellow card.
This has sounded the alarm to Chelsea's defensive players.
It will be difficult for the opponent to make another offensive mistake in the frontcourt and form an opportunity for the opponent to counterattack.
"Manchester United made the right choice to shrink the overall formation, but is this change a bit late?
They are already behind in the score.
If they don't take the initiative, then Chelsea will be happy to pour the ball in the midfield and backcourt.
Anyway, they are 1:0.
Leading, as long as no major mistakes are made, the defending Champions League champion will be close to ten.”
Lineker took a sip of water and slowly analyzed the changes in Manchester United.
Seeing this change, the commentator on Manchester United TV was very puzzled.
He frowned and said: "The score is still behind now.
The formation can move back, but it cannot retreat too far.
Otherwise, it will be like now, leaving Chelsea with a pass."
There is too much space for the ball, which not only increases the risk of defense, but also indirectly limits our own efficient and quick counterattack.”
In fact, Manchester United's counterattack was still impressive.
Mourinho asked the players to cooperate with Manchester United's formation and move back, but sometimes the players couldn't bear the loneliness.
They had been suppressed by Manchester United for too long before, and they always wanted to take advantage of Manchester United's initiative to retreat and move forward to participate in the attack and push back.
Therefore, the frontcourt When the pass is intercepted, it naturally creates huge pressure on the rear defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo's skills and speed are particularly powerful in quick counterattacks.
Fortunately, Cech performed very well during this period, and he defended the goal with high defense.
Because Manchester United's formation moved back, Aiello's opportunities were not good.
He would always encounter a joint defense of two to three people.
If he accelerated the ball to the core area, he would even encounter a defense of more than four people.
So in this case, Aiello can only choose to pass the ball to his teammates, and only occasionally try a long shot, but due to the distance, it is difficult to threaten the goal guarded by Van der Sar.
In the blink of an eye, the game time came to the end of the first half, and the score on the field was still Chelsea leading Manchester United 1:0.
Even though Cristiano Ronaldo works very hard, he must resist the harassment of Carvalho or Terry when the team advances at the center position, which makes him play very awkwardly.
He prefers to play along the wing.
Break through with the ball and then go straight to Huanglong.
In the 43rd minute, the score was still 1:0, with Chelsea leading.
Everyone thought that this score would be maintained until the end of the first half, when Chelsea launched an attack from the back.
Cech did not kick the goal kick forward, but passed the ball to Terry.
Soon the football was passed to the feet of Lampard who retreated to his own half circle.
Since Manchester United didn't have the frontcourt to counterattack on the spot, he and Modric switched positions, leaving him to mobilize the team's offensive direction.
Cristiano Ronaldo made a symbolic forward interference.
Lampard stepped on the ball and easily smashed the ball in the opposite direction of the former.
Modric also ran out of the open position at this time, and he quickly passed the ball.
Stuffed it.
Modric received the ball and turned around in one go.
Facing the defensive veteran Scholes, he simply made a sudden stop and changed direction.
While attracting the attention of Carrick's defense, he passed the ball to Ai without the slightest hesitation.
Luo's feet.
O'Shea and Fletcher, who was defending on the right rib, instinctively moved closer to Aiello, and Carrick also blocked the space between the center back and Fletcher.
At the same time, Park Ji-sung also actively defended.
In the blink of an eye, Manchester United formed four defenders to cover Ai Luo "The moment Ohygod Ai took the ball, four Manchester United players jumped on him.
It was really a great defensive effort."
As soon as Andy Gray finished speaking, Aiello passed the ball to Modric who was advancing forward, then started on the spot and accelerated laterally.
Therefore, both Carrick and Fletcher subconsciously approached Modric, but Modric did not move the ball forward, but secretly knocked the ball with his heel, and the football returned to Ai, who was running horizontally.
At Luo's feet, this made Fletcher and Carrick, the protective barrier in front of the central defender, nervous and quickened their pace to follow.
At this moment, Aiello suddenly swung his right foot.
Carrick, who was closest, subconsciously stretched his right leg and tried to block it.
However, Aiello did not choose to shoot.
Instead, he played a different rhythm and passed the ball to Lara.
Drogba, who was free, then continued to run vertically.
Just as they were about to cross the edge of the penalty area, Manchester United's entire defense became tense instantly, and the two full-backs chose to shrink into the penalty area at the same time.
Drogba pushed Rio Ferdinand behind him, pushed the arch of his right foot, and passed the football to Aiello, who was running forward at high speed and swung his right foot.
Rio Ferdinand made a hasty move and fell to the ground to block.
And left back Evra also stepped forward and fell to the ground to shovel, like two thick walls, completely blocking Ai Luo's shooting angle from the ground.
"Shoot" With Clive Walker's exclamation, Aiello did not choose to shoot, but faked a shot and dunked the ball gently to the right.
He just missed Carrick coming from behind on the left, and on the right Striker Kalou is pressing Manchester United's last defender at this time, preparing to move forward.
Ai Luo did not hesitate at all and passed the ball to the space on the right side of his own side.
Since Evra is no longer in his defensive position, Kalou has plenty of time to dribble and observe.
Immediately, Aiello quickly ran to the far end of the penalty area after passing the ball, raised his right arm high and extended his index finger to give Kalu a signal.
"Aiello and his teammates' consecutive touches of the ball did not choose to shoot by themselves, but sent the ball to the feet of winger Kalu who was free on the right," Howie shouted: "But his series of actions just now have already Manchester United's entire defense is in a mess.

If the quality of crosses can improve, it is possible to lead by two goals before the end of the first half."
At the same time, Chelsea fans in the stands once again burst into cheers.
Obviously looking forward to Chelsea's attack.
Carrick turned around and tried to tug at Aiello's back jersey, but he only caught a ball of air.
too fast Fletcher, who was back in the penalty area, took action the moment Aiello advanced, but he did not dare to use force blatantly, otherwise it would be a penalty kick if the referee saw it.
So there was a very interesting scene in Manchester United's penalty area.
Fletcher was dragged by Aiello and ran from the middle of the penalty area to the far end of the goal.
Kalu looked up and saw Aiello's signal, then adjusted his footing without being marked and passed in.
"Cross" Previously, Rio Ferdinand had not had time to come back in order to block Aiello's shot, and Vidic had to shoulder the defensive responsibility of defending Drogba.
O'Shea, who shrank into the penalty area, took advantage of Fletcher's interference with Aiello and got stuck in position in advance.
But no one expected that Ai Luo, who seemed to be rushing to the rear at full speed, would choose to stop suddenly in the middle, then retract and kick his legs, and take off into the air.
Only then did O'Shea and Fletcher realize that they had made another big mistake, only marking people and not watching the ball.
The ball arrives and the people arrive With everyone watching, Aiello twisted his waist and shook his head, heading the ball towards the near corner of the goal.
Even though Van der Sar flew sideways while moving, he could only watch and sigh in the face of Aiello's header with excellent angle and power
