Chapter 629 Penalty + Red Card!
The sky began to drizzle, and Ferguson subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky, and then he felt a headache, because the team did not prepare special anti-slip spikes for rainy days, if the drizzle turned into light or moderate rain, it would be a big trouble...
But soon, he was relieved, the same preparation prelude, so Chelsea should not be prepared either!
But... When Ferguson turned his head to look at Chelsea's coaching bench, he became quite speechless.
What appeared in his eyes was a row of spiked teams, that is, anti-slip spikes, and they were arranged in an orderly manner. This... is definitely a favorable development for Chelsea.
Of course, Ferguson absolutely does not allow the team to lose at the starting line, so he hooked his fingers towards his assistant Queiroz and ordered: "Let Kyle go to the physical store outside the stadium to buy some spikes according to the player's shoe size, and come back quickly!"
Queiroz turned his head and glanced at the prepared Chelsea coaching area, nodded, then turned and ordered the logistics team leader Kyle Dorst who followed the team to ask him to temporarily purchase spiked sneakers off the field.
Although the rain was very small, the players on the field began to be cautious, for fear that they would slip and fall to the ground if they were not careful.
The game went on for another 2 minutes with the players on both sides being cautious, and the rain was a bit trending towards light rain. This is definitely not good news for Manchester United.
Immediately, the on-site director took advantage of a dead ball to show the camera in front of the Chelsea bench, which immediately caused several discussions in the studio.
"Haha, Chelsea is really well prepared!! When we thought that the two sides would frequently fall to the ground in the rainy battle in the final, but... the scene told by the camera told us that such a situation will only happen to Manchester United!!"
Looking at this shot, BBC commentator Lineker laughed.
"I have to say that Chelsea thought carefully before the game. I remember that the weather in Moscow today will be cloudless and there will be no rain at all. Therefore, it is destined that both teams will ignore this detail, but what I didn't expect is that Chelsea actually prepared spikes for rainy days. Perhaps... this Champions League champion will be determined by the details!"
Huang Jianxiang also praised Chelsea for doing a good job in logistics.
Only the local narrator in Manchester pouted and said: "This is a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. Even if the weather is sunny, the weather forecast will prepare spiked shoes for rainy days. What the hell!"
Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich, who was sitting in the VIP seat at the scene, smiled and kissed his girlfriend Dasha Zhukova. He was obviously very satisfied with the team's logistical work. Just now he was worried that the team would slip on a rainy day.
Perhaps, my beloved Chelsea will really win the Champions League this season!
Isn't the crazy investment in the past few years just for this silvery Champions League trophy?
Thinking of this, Abramovich leaned forward and looked at the Champions League trophy placed on the rostrum - the St. Bradley Cup!
※※※
The staff of the club had already prepared the spiked shoes, and Ai Luo nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, he was still thankful for his excellent memory. Of course, he should be more grateful to the great god Lin Hai. If he hadn't written that novel, then... I would never remember this detail.
But this time is not suitable for long spikes.
First of all, the turf is not as slippery as using spikes, and secondly, the referee will not allow them to change their sneakers at this time, unless... one by one, they run to the sidelines to change, but... this will very likely lead to a local situation of playing more with less, which is extremely detrimental to the team!Only wait until the regular time is completed before collective replacement.
Why wait until regular time is over to change your sneakers?
Why not end the fight in nine 10 minutes?
Ai Luo patted his forehead fiercely, and really stepped into a misunderstanding again!
Manchester United coach Ferguson also has the same idea. He doesn't expect the logistics director to buy back the spikes. It would be best if the battle can be resolved within 10 minutes!Therefore...he took advantage of the left back Evra's approaching the sideline to hold him and explained a few words, asking the players to strengthen their offense in the last period of time and score as much as possible, otherwise once the rain becomes heavier, it will be dangerous...
Although the rain at this time was still at the stage before the light rain, the Chelsea players had already been disturbed.
In the 85th minute, Aiello feigned a long-range shot from the front of the penalty area. All Manchester United defenders focused on him. As a result, the false shot was a real pass. The right ankle changed and the ball was passed to Lampard, who was almost unmarked. The latter subconsciously swung his right foot and shot 10 yards from the goal.
But at this time, an accident happened. The left foot did not step on the ground at the critical moment, and it slid forward. The right foot could only continue to kick instinctively. Can you imagine the effect?The football was not kicked, but it was kicked to the feet of Brown, who stepped forward to defend, and the referee Michelle whistled for a foul.
Then the ball changed hands. Veteran Scholes was in possession of the ball in the backcourt. Seeing that no one was coming to press, he could calmly look up and observe the standing and running positions of his teammates. However, he did not find a suitable pass point, so he passed the ball back to central defender Rio Ferdinand, and then ran forward for a few meters, directing the teammates in the midfield to run.
After the explanation, he retreated to the center line and signaled Vidic to pass the football, who gave the ball to Scholes without hesitation.
Hargreaves, Carlos Tevez and Rooney in the frontcourt all retreated a little, looking like they were preparing to receive a pass from Scholes.
However, I did not see Cristiano Ronaldo on the left flanking Chelsea's defensive right rib along the wing, which is the space between Essien and Terry.
"Pay attention to the right rib defense!!" The back line and the defenders in front of the back line are all focused on the players with the ball and the Manchester United players in the area at the front of the penalty area, but the goalkeeper Petr Cech can see Cristiano Ronaldo who is coming diagonally at high speed from the corner of his eye, so he reminded loudly.
At the same time, Scholes had already dribbled the ball to Chelsea's half-circle, and then he suddenly kicked a long pass.
Essien was startled by a flash of red lightning in front of him, and then saw the football flying in mid-air, subconsciously stopped, and raised his right arm, reminding the linesman that the Manchester United player who was plugging in behind was offside.
But he was surprised to find that the linesman did not hold up the side flag, but... continued to run with the forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
Even if he thinks about it with his toes, he knows that this is --- not offside!
Terry was so experienced in the game that even though he felt that Cristiano Ronaldo was suspected of being offside, he kept stepping back and preparing to clear the ball.
It's just that it's difficult to judge where the football will fall, so I can only turn around and focus on Cristiano Ronaldo who is about to take the ball, and then deal with it at that time.
※※※
Cristiano Ronaldo's sudden oblique insertion into Chelsea's defense of the right rib was not a whim, but one of the backup tactics before the game. The previous non-stop straight up and down was to confuse Chelsea's defensive players, so that they formed a fixed mindset in a short period of time. When the time came to suddenly change the attack method, it was the team's opportunity!
However, with Ferguson's hand gesture on the sidelines earlier, he knew... the opportunity he was waiting for could be used!
Sure enough, as he accelerated along the right flank of Chelsea's defense from the wing, Scholes' long ball passed, and the quality of the pass was better than Cristiano Ronaldo imagined.
Fast and flat!
It is very suitable for players who insert behind to handle the ball, but at the same time it also increases the difficulty of the defender's clearance.
Because the forward route of football is the same as that of Cristiano Ronaldo, that is, it is misplaced with the defensive player. If you want to clear the siege, you can only expect Cristiano Ronaldo who has the ball to stop the ball and make a mistake, so as to compete for the second spot.
But here comes the question, will Cristiano Ronaldo make mistakes?
He has scored two goals in this game and he is in hot form!
At 15 yards from the goal, he directly used his chest to stop the ball in his forward direction, and then swung his right foot, ready to shoot!
"——Cristiano Ronaldo!!" The local commentator in Manchester shouted excitedly.
Terry, who had been waiting for an opportunity behind Cristiano Ronaldo's oblique right, knew that he could not continue to wait, otherwise, the goal would be in danger.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was ready to shoot with a bow, noticed that Terry behind him was about to steal the ball, so he quickly put his right foot down again, and lightly picked the falling football to the left with his toe.
When Terry was about to kick the football, he realized that... Cristiano Ronaldo did not wait for the ball to fall to complete the shot, but... took advantage of the quick footsteps to pick the ball to the left side of the body.
Now... trouble!
Terry had no time to stop his foot, and kicked his left foot directly on the right calf of Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just finished picking the football. As a result, the latter screamed subconsciously, and fell on the turf holding his right calf.
Beep——
Immediately, the referee Michelle's whistle sounded.
Terry quickly turned around and raised his hand at the referee to indicate that he had not fouled.
"Mr. Referee, foul!"
"foul!!"
"Penalty + red card!!"
"Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? It's obviously a flop!" Ballack was the closest to Rooney, and he didn't care if Terry had fouled or not, so he just defended it.
The other Chelsea players saw the referee's movements and eyes, and realized what he was going to do, so they speeded up and stood in front of the referee, trying to change his next move.
Michel pushed aside the Chelsea players in front of him, then walked up to Terry, took out a red card from his trouser pocket, and showed it.
Then it pointed to twelve yards.
This is... a penalty and a red card!
