Chapter 791 The Spear and Shield of the Premier League
Ronaldo, who scored the goal, felt good about himself. He had a strong self-confidence and felt that no one could stop him today, but he was quickly stopped by Makelele with a fierce tackle.

The Portuguese flew forward, but the ball stayed at Makelele's feet.

No foul!
"Oh oh oh! Here it comes! A clean tackle from Makelele!" John Mortensen yelled very loudly, which was exactly what he wanted to see.

After Makelele passed the grabbed ball, he glanced back at Ronaldo, who had just got up from the ground and cast his gaze at him.

Seeing this, Makelele snorted coldly: "What's wrong with you, boy? Why are your legs weak? Show off your ability to wear my crotch just now!"

Ronaldo doesn't understand French very well, but he can feel the meaning of the other party, so his face is even uglier.

………………

Ronaldo is entangled by Makelele, does that mean that Chelsea is wide open?

After Ronaldo led Makelele to the wing, he saw Yin Jun opened his hands to him in the middle, which meant that he wanted him to pass the ball.

Although Ronaldo wanted to compete one-on-one with Makelele here, he finally focused on the overall situation and passed the football to Yin Jun.

Yin Jun tried to get into the penalty area after receiving the ball, but was entangled by another Chelsea midfielder, Essien from Ghana.In desperation, Yin Jun had no choice but to pass the football back, and Manchester United's attack ended here.

Obviously, Chelsea's defense in the midfield does not rely solely on Makelele, nor does it rely on Essien who comes up to fill the position, but has a whole set of supplementary defense tactics.Every Chelsea player has to be ready to cover his teammates at all times, trying to avoid huge gaps between people.The whole team shrinks into a fist when defending, preventing the offensive side from taking advantage.

So expecting Ronaldo to pull Makelele to the side, the idea of ​​​​being free in the center will not work.

It is relying on the combination of excellent defensive tactics and strong personal abilities of the players that this Chelsea team was able to create a super record of conceding only 15 goals in a single season two seasons ago.

And in that season, Chelsea also scored 93 points to create the highest scoring record in the Premier League, snatched the league championship from Manchester United, and made Manchester United the league runner-up with the highest points in history, creating a very embarrassing record.

………………

Manchester United originally wanted to use the momentum after the goal to continue to attack Chelsea's penalty area.Not to mention the result was nothing, and Chelsea took the opportunity to fight back several times, threatening Manchester United's goal!

"Shevchenko -!!! Oops!"

The commentator of the Ukrainian TV station was startled, first shouted Shevchenko's name, then let out a long sigh, put his head in his hands, and leaned against the back of the seat in the studio.

For the strongest dialogue in the Premier League, Ukrainian TV naturally also broadcast it.Ukrainian fans want to see Shevchenko represent Ukrainian football in this game and prove to the world that the Chelsea boss bought Shevchenko not because of their personal relationship but because of Shevchenko Excellent ability.

However, after the start of the game, from the point of view of the scene, Manchester United, which is still playing at home, has the advantage.They did take the lead, relying on Ronaldo's goal to take the lead.

Shevchenko played well in several counterattacks, but the final kick was a little lacking and he failed to seize the opportunity to score a goal.

What makes the Ukrainian fans a little relieved is that although Manchester United scored the goal, it was not Yin Jun who scored the goal. Therefore, in the competition between Yin Jun and Shevchenko, their Shevchenko has not yet fallen behind, and the two are still It's a tie.

Just now Chelsea played a quick counterattack. Shevchenko used his speed to sprint half the pitch. After receiving a pass from his teammate, he hit the goal directly, but the football was higher than the crossbar.

The surprise of the Ukrainian narrator comes from this.

No one complained on the Internet that the Ukrainian commentator was not calm enough, because I don’t know how many Ukrainian fans are more excited than the commentator in front of the TV.

In the live broadcast, Shevchenko kicked hard into the air after shooting the goal, obviously dissatisfied with how he pushed the ball higher.

………………

Shevchenko was indeed dissatisfied with his performance.

Manchester United's offensive is very fierce, and Chelsea has many opportunities to counterattack. He hopes to seize the opportunity as soon as possible, otherwise if he continues to waste like this, he may have no chance.

Since coming to the Premier League, she has been unable to perform well for a long time, which puts Shevchenko under unprecedented pressure.

Today's strong dialogue with Manchester United may become an opportunity for him to prove himself and relieve pressure, or it may become an opportunity to crush him.

Sure enough, not long after he wasted this opportunity, Manchester United coach Ferguson made adjustments and asked the team to temporarily withdraw their defense and not give Chelsea another chance to fight back.

Ferguson knew very well that Manchester United wanted to break Chelsea's goal again with one breath when Chelsea was already preparing for it. It was like colliding with a reinforced concrete gate with a physical body. You will still get hurt, there is simply no chance of winning.So he asked the team to recover, slow down the pace of the game, and recover some energy.

This is also to continue to attack in the future.

In the game against Chelsea, it is very difficult for you to defend against the opponent, because the opponent will wear you down with rich defensive experience and then beat you.

………………

Manchester United shrunk their defense, and Chelsea naturally couldn't continue to stay behind. Now it's their turn to press up and attack.

It has to be said that each team has the temperament of each team. They have something they are good at, and naturally they are not good at it.

Just like Manchester United, under the leadership of the head coach Ferguson, after more than ten years of building, this team has become the team with the strongest comprehensive strength in the Premier League.They can attack with quicksilver flow on offense, and they can be as calm as a mountain on defense.

However, Manchester United cannot be regarded as a gorgeous offensive team, nor can it be regarded as a solid defensive team.In terms of offense, Wenger's Arsenal is the most gorgeous team in the Premier League, and in terms of defense, their opponent Chelsea today is the real defensive team.

Manchester United can be regarded as a representative of the balance of offense and defense among Premier League teams. In the first 13 rounds of the league this season, Manchester United scored 32 goals and conceded 7 goals.At present, their offensive firepower is the fiercest among the 20 Premier League teams, and their defense is tied with Chelsea. Both teams have conceded 7 goals.

This has been Manchester United's best defensive performance in recent seasons.However, for Chelsea, this kind of defense is their routine operation.
