After finishing their respective Champions League fourth round group matches, Chelsea and Manchester United quickly focused on the upcoming Premier League El Clasico.
Both Mourinho and Ferguson knew the significance of this game, so no matter who they were, they must play this game.
The game is the most important game.
Because the team that wins the game will have an advantage in the league championship this season.
Of course, a draw would also be beneficial to Chelsea.
However, Mourinho will not choose to tie with Manchester United at home, because in the second half of the season, there will be a scene where Manchester United is still clinging to points.
By then, the visit to Old Trafford will be passive.
If Manchester United is in If they win at home, they will take the lead in points.
Rather than possibly being reversed, it is better to nip this possible result in the cradle.
For wealthy teams, the importance of the league increases as the league reaches the end of the season.
It is also a test for the physical reserves and status of the players.
In order to be able to focus on the more important Champions League Go in and try to expand the lead as much as possible in the early and middle stages of the league where there is little pressure.
Ferguson has the same idea as Mourinho.
Manchester United is two points behind Chelsea at the top of the league in the past eleven rounds.
If they can win the away game, they will overtake Chelsea by one point and will play at home in the next round.
It is not impossible to seize the opportunity and achieve a double kill.
At the regular press conference on the day of the game, Ferguson brought the team's top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo to the scene.
Faced with the ridicule of the London media, Cristiano Ronaldo showed great confidence: "Yes, the league standings and the In the league scorer list, Manchester United and I are both behind Chelsea and Ai, but this does not mean anything, because we are about to have a direct confrontation, and the real battle will be won by the great Red Devils.
I, Cristiano Ronaldo, will also be here.
Returned to the top scorer list in the league after 2 games.”
Listening to Cristiano Ronaldo's bold words at Stamford Bridge, the media from Manchester were excited.
Let's not talk about the final result.
We must have this courage before the game, otherwise the game will not be discussed.
Next, the home team’s regular press conference.
Mourinho brought along the team’s top scorer Aiello.
The European mainstream media very kindly passed on Cristiano Ronaldo’s previous remarks.
Aiello laughed it off and didn’t take it too seriously.
However, when talking about the goal of this game, he said without any concealment: "In the past countless games at Stamford Bridge, we have been undefeated for many years, but Manchester United has not scored even a point on this venue.
So after the game, we will completely open up the points with Manchester United."
Aiello's words naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the local media in Manchester.
There was a lot of ridicule, but Mourinho was speechless after the data analysis.
The 12th round of the 2009-2010 English Premier League started at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea faced Manchester United at home.
More than an hour before the start of the game, almost the entire stadium was occupied by blue Chelsea fans, leaving less than 3,000 seats.
To the visiting team Manchester United.
According to incomplete statistics before the game, more than 130 media from various countries came to the scene.
It is really unimaginable that Stamford Bridge, which only has more than 40,000 people, can accommodate so many reporters.
Starting from the first minute of the game, Chelsea and Manchester United's offenses were driven by the cores of their respective teams, Aiello and Cristiano Ronaldo, to launch fierce attacks into the opponent's hinterland, which attracted continuous cheers from the fans in the stands.
"What a wonderful shot from Cristiano Ronaldo" "Ai's signature free kick jumped over the wall and over the crossbar, which hindered his goal."
"Corner kick Cristiano Ronaldo oh football was denied by the goal post" The game had only lasted less than ten minutes, and the commentators from various countries in the on-site commentary box had not had the opportunity to take a break.
They were completely focusing on the game commentary, because Ai Luo and Cristiano Ronaldo Every touch of the ball creates a huge threat.
Especially after two consecutive seasons of huge failures, Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be enlightened.
Every time he handled the ball, he was very reasonable, very decisive when he should shoot, and not sloppy when he should pass.
Messi, who is far away in Catalonia, is watching the live broadcast of this game.
Sitting next to him are Pique and Iniesta.

"Leo, who do you think will score first and ultimately win the game, Chelsea at home or Manchester United as the away team?"
Midway through the first half, Iniesta turned to Messi and asked.
"It's hard to say.
Judging from the state, both of them are very good."
Messi said: "If we win, it will be even more difficult to say that the game is a battle of eleven people.
The excellent state of the two can only drive the overall offensive and defensive rhythm. , but it will not determine the final outcome of the game.”
"but" Just when Messi was about to make a supplement, the on-site director showed the camera to Aiello as the football moved.
Aiello received the football about 35 meters away from the Manchester United goal.
Anderson and Fletcher immediately appeared next to him.
In front of him, Carrick was on standby, looking like he might step forward to assist in defense at any time.
Everyone's attention was subconsciously focused on Aiello who was holding the ball.
Many fans had suffered such a loss in the past twenty minutes, so they were full of attention at this moment.
Facing the defense of Anderson and Fletcher, Aiello did not make any physical fake moves.
He directly moved the ball to the right and took advantage of the start to wipe it from the side of Fletcher who was closer to the center.
Letcher did not dare to neglect and quickly grabbed the jersey to avoid being at a disadvantage in the first place.
In response, Aiello slammed the ball back with his right foot.
Fletcher rushed too hard and had no time to brake.
Anders quickly crossed over in an attempt to destroy the ball, but he was an offensive player after all.
It's more like a wooden stake.
Aiello's next move was very quick.
The arch of his left foot pushed the football that was coming from his right foot between Fletcher and Anderson.
Fried meatballs Anderson had no choice but to shovel, but he only hit a ball of air The defending defender Carrick and the central defender immediately rushed up to block Aiello's dribbling space.
On the other side, the central defender Rio Ferdinand followed Drogba's advance and recovered, while Evra followed the game.
The previous tactics required recovery into the penalty area.
Under this situation, Manchester United's defense was squeezed like a twist.
"Danger" The local commentator in Manchester suddenly exclaimed.
When Fletcher and Carrick were about to arrive, Aiello made an emergency stop and moved the ball laterally to the right.
He rubbed the inside of the instep of his right foot and passed the ball into the left rib space of Manchester United's defense.
Ivanovic jumped in at high speed.
Seeing this, Ferguson suddenly stood up from the coaching bench.
Huge cheers erupted from the stands, as if a goal had been scored.
Ivanovic took the ball and moved towards the penalty area.
Evra quickly retreated and blocked Ivanovic's path to continue cutting in.
The two central defenders squeezed Drogba in the middle, and the midfielder Instinctively moving in, Fletcher did not forget his goal.
He and Carrick squeezed Aiello in the middle.
However, at this moment, Ivanovic suddenly passed an inverted triangle pass towards the penalty spot close to the baseline.
Aiello stopped and retreated at the same time, and raised his right foot to hit the goal.
Fletcher and Carrick instinctively fell to the ground to block, but Aiello did not throw the ball towards the football, but missed the ball.
Modric stepped in and volleyed directly.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar did not Any reaction and watch the football fly into the net.
"gooooooooooooooooooooooooa" the live broadcast sounded the DJ's shout: "It was Luka who scored the goal" "Modric" The Chelsea fans in the stands also became excited at this moment.
Tens of thousands of fans chanted the surname of the goal scorer, and the atmosphere reached its first climax since the start of the game.
On the contrary, the die-hard fans who came to Stamford Bridge to support Manchester United were quite helpless at this time.
Also showing helplessness was Ferguson, who was standing on the edge of the visiting team's technical command zone.
To be fair, Chelsea's offensive coordination was very exciting, especially the initiator of the attack, Aiello, who used his dribbling ability to attract enough attention and forced Manchester United to defend.

The system was compressed into a mess, and then the full-back stepped in to participate in the attack, passing out an inverted triangle.
The initiator, Aiello, attracted enough attention and missed the ball, allowing the unmarked Modric to score easily.
Mourinho, who was not far away, waved his fist.
This offense was his imitation of Barcelona's tactical play.
Even if Aiello leaves in the future, as long as the team adapts to this technical and tactical play, then Aiello will buy a breakthrough after he leaves.
For extremely capable wingers, this tactic can still be used, but the effect may be slightly worse, but it does not affect the combat effectiveness of the entire tactic.
Modric, who scored the goal, first signaled Ivanovic who was passing the ball, then jumped directly on Aiello's back and waved his fist towards the Chelsea fans in the stands, showing his strength.
Ivanovic admired Aiello more and more.
His pass just now was originally intended for Aiello, but what he didn't expect was that Aiello could see the unmarked Modric behind him.
The number one person in the world is really not just a boast.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his friend Rooney looked at each other, and a hint of helplessness could be seen in each other's eyes.
Facing Chelsea's cooperation, it was really incomprehensible.
But the next moment, Cristiano Ronaldo clenched his fists and secretly vowed to equalize the score in the subsequent game:
