Super Marshal

　　 May 15, 2010, afternoon, cloudy.

　　 Since yesterday, the entire London has been immersed in the enthusiasm for the last peak matchup in England this season.

　　From the streets to the bus and subway, there is a strong atmosphere of the finals everywhere.

　　 subway, bus, tram...carriage of fans were sent to Wembley Stadium outside London.

In order to prevent football hooligans from making trouble, the United Kingdom has announced the prohibition of alcohol in public transportation since 2008. Especially before such major events, security has been comprehensively upgraded. Every bus station and subway station can see the enemy. Policemen.

　　 Especially when it comes to Wembley Stadium, the security is almost harsh. All fans who enter Wembley Stadium must pass the most comprehensive inspection before entering the stadium.

　　 But even without the help of alcohol, England fans still drive Wembley Stadium into a frenzy.

Chelsea is nicknamed the Blues, and the jersey is famous for blue, while Manchester City’s nickname is Blue Moon. The jersey is also blue, but the shades are slightly different. But from the stands of Wembley Stadium, looking up, a piece of azure blue, as if it were there. A rare blue sky in the UK.

　　 After the last round of the Premier League, everyone in the UK is looking forward to this key matchup.

　　 After several days of brewing, the atmosphere reached its peak on the day of the final.

　　 The two teams facing each other are the champions and runners-up of the Premier League this season, Manchester City and Chelsea, both ranked first and second in the Premier League in strength, which can be called the decisive battle between the two strongest teams in the Premier League.

Although before the game, except for the die-hard Chelsea fans, most people believed that Manchester City would eventually win, but the Blues may not have upset hopes. Scolari repeatedly emphasized in the press conference before the game. The Blues will never stand alone.

　　 In this game, Scolari also reversed his past conservativeness and insisted on playing in a four-three formation.

　　 The goalkeeper is Hilario, and the back line is Ashley Cole, Terry, Alex and Ivanovic from left to right.

　　 This is the strongest defensive main force that Chelsea can discharge this season. The player lineup is also very neat. The league has just ended and the game state is generally maintained well.

The three midfielders were still dragged by Essien, Lampard and Ramirez moved forward. Among them, the Ghanaian Buffalo Essien was moved to the midfielder position in the second half of the season, and he made quite impressive progress. Become one of the main candidates for this position.

　　 Especially in this critical final, Mikel lacks experience, and Ballack is old, so Essien takes the lead.

　　 The trident of the frontcourt made adjustments. Drogba and Falcao joined forces to start, and the two formed a double forward, while Robinho was ambushing behind the two, acting as a shadow forward, connecting the midfielder and the striker.

　　 In the last few rounds of the league, Scolari has been repeatedly running in this set of trident combinations, and his performance is also remarkable. It can be said that this game is the key to Chelsea's upset counterattack.

　　 Relatively speaking, Manchester City's starting lineup is not surprising.

The goalkeeper is Cech, the three defenders are Kompany, Xavi Martinez and Mascherano, followed by Harvey Alonso, David Silva and Modric are in the middle. Card played the front midfielder, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Sanchez formed the trident.

　　 Manchester City's injury has little effect this season, and the lineup is neat. After the last round of the league, the team has ample rest time, allowing Alpine to play the main force in this game.

　　 This is also the reason why everyone is optimistic about Manchester City, especially the offense.

　　 You know, Manchester City has an offensive lineup capable of scoring 100 goals in a single season.

　　…………

　　…………

　　 Wembley Stadium’s bad venue is a well-known thing, and this venue is not friendly to Manchester City’s passing team, but it is conducive to Chelsea’s style of play.

　　 This also became one of the reasons why many people sang Gao Han and Manchester City before the game.

　　 Another reason is the referee.

The referee of this game is Chris Foy. This nearly half-hundred-year-old referee has ten years of Premier League law enforcement experience. He was in charge of the League Cup finals of last season and the Community Shield at the beginning of the season. Cup, very rich experience.

　　 But there is one area that is often criticized, and that is the weak law enforcement.

Before the game, many media, including the Guardian and The Times, believed that the FA’s appointment of Chris Foy to the FA Cup final would somewhat balance the difference in strength between the two teams. It also implies that Chelsea can Appropriately adopt a more aggressive style of play.

　　 When it came to the game, everyone was surprised to find that neither the first nor the second reason could play a role in the game, because Manchester City had firmly controlled the ball from the beginning.

　　 Chelsea did everything possible to block the interception, but they have never been able to destroy Manchester City's control of the ball and rhythm.

　　 After only two minutes of the game, Manchester City scored into the Chelsea penalty area.

　　 Kaka passed the ball, Benzema burst into the penalty area and kicked the goal. After the ball was blocked by Terry, Kaka's push shot was too angled, and he missed the post slightly, Chelsea's goal kick.

　　 Only two minutes later, Benzema received a pass from Xavi Alonso and flew the header. Cristiano Ronaldo took a shot from the left side of the penalty area and once again missed the close corner.

　　 Two consecutive shots have given Manchester City's offensive advantage, especially the possession of the ball from the center and the back. It has also planned an endless attack for the frontcourt organization, allowing Manchester City's frontcourt superstars to focus on finding fighters.

　　 And Manchester City repeatedly invaded the penalty area, so Chelsea had to shrink the defense and stay in the penalty area.

　　 But even so, Manchester City quickly seized an opportunity.

In the eleventh minute, Cristiano Ronaldo singled out Ivanovic from the left. After passing the ball into the penalty area, Benzema blocked the defensive player with his body, knocked the ball back to the front of the penalty area, and Kaka followed , Without thinking is a long shot.

　　 The quality of this kick was very high. The goalkeeper Hilario didn't have time to react, but the ball slammed the right post and flew directly out of the court.

　　 Kaka, who thought that the goal was bound to win, was completely stunned. He felt very well in place when he kicked off.

　　 Not only him, everyone in Manchester City is a little depressed, but at the critical moment, it was the post that saved Chelsea.

　　 But soon, Manchester City planned an offensive again.

　　 David Silva passed the ball. After Benzemare caught the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he passed Ivanovic and kicked directly to the goal, but was saved by goalkeeper Hilario.

　　 Two minutes later, Kompany's header was again blocked by Terry.

　　 followed closely, Cristiano Ronaldo made two shots from the left side, but the goalkeeper Hilario was bravely saved.

　　 Everyone on the scene also realized that Manchester City's toes seemed to be a bit unsatisfactory in this game.

Chelsea’s first attack took place in the 22nd minute of the first half. It was the first time the Blues broke into Manchester City’s 30-meter area since the opening. Robinho used a counterattack to plan an attack from the right. Roba clicked back to do it, and Falcao took a shot from the front of the penalty area, but was stopped by Cech, who was predicted to be in place.

　　 But just a few minutes later, Manchester City once again played a very threatening attack.

Ivanovic fouled Cristiano Ronaldo one-on-one. Manchester City got an indirect free kick before the baseline. David Silva took the penalty with his left foot, and Kompany made a point in the penalty area. Out, header from close range.

　　 But as a result, this goal that was inevitable hit the crossbar and once again hit the bottom line.

Even worse, three minutes later, Manchester City once again got a good direct free kick opportunity. Cristiano Ronaldo took a very high-quality deciduous kick. The goalkeeper Hilario has completely disarmed, but The ball hit the crossbar, bounced back into the penalty area again, and was caught by the goalkeeper.

If it’s just that, it’s okay, but at the 32nd minute, Sanchez, who had been closely guarded in the game, finally made a strong effort and forcibly broke through Ashley Cole one-on-one and reached the right side of the penalty area. In the cross, Hilario failed to intercept, and Cristiano Ronaldo volleyed unguarded.

　　 As a result, this shot hit the crossbar again.

　　 Manchester City hit the crossbar with three consecutive shots.

　　 One post, three crossbars, Manchester City seemed to stand on the opposite of luck throughout the first half.

　　 But Blue Moon still firmly controls the situation on the field and launches an attack on Chelsea's goal.

　　 In the 41st minute of the first half, there was another cross from Sanchez from the right. Cristiano Ronaldo caught the opportunity to hit the goal in the middle, and then hit the left post again, popping the bottom line.

A minute later, Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball from the left. Benzema’s shot from the front of the penalty area was saved by Hilario, followed by a corner kick, and Harvey Martinez headed the ball high. .

In the forty-fourth minute, the first half was almost over. Modric drove the ball into the penalty area from the right. The cross was interfered by goalkeeper Hilario and fell to the center. Kaka followed up and shot the empty goal. , But was rescued by Terry at the critical moment.

　　 Manchester City protested, thinking that Kaka's shot had crossed the goal line, but referee Chris Foy made it clear that the goal was invalid and warned the pressured Manchester City players.

　　 According to the slow-motion playback on the big screen, the ball really crossed the goal line.

　　 Two columns, three beams, one misjudgment.

Manchester City had the advantage throughout the first half, and even allowed Chelsea to reach Manchester City’s 30-meter zone only three times in 45 minutes~www.readwn.com~ two kickers, this transcript is not the case. Not good.

　　 There are countless opportunities to threaten Chelsea’s goal.

　　 However, God does not seem to be on Manchester City's side today. The continuous columns and beams make Manchester City feel distressed, and the referee's misjudgment at the last moment is even more annoying.

　　 Needless to say, these are always opportunities to score goals on weekdays. You only need to seize half of them. Manchester City is now in a three-goal lead and directly pronounced the ownership of the championship trophy.

　　 The irony is that God seems to be standing on Chelsea’s side, refusing the ball from the Blues goal time and time again, and the continuous bad luck has made Manchester City players feel extremely depressed.

Especially in the last attack of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo was whistled for offside as soon as he started, but the Portuguese rushed in madness when the referee had already blew his whistle, facing the ball. He scored a volley and drew the ball directly into Chelsea's goal.

　　 He seemed to be using this action to vent his depression, but it also brought him an unnecessary yellow card.

　　 And Cristiano Ronaldo’s irritability also made it clear to everyone that the Manchester City players’ emotions were a little out of control. Although the situation in the first half seemed to be tricked by God, once the emotions were out of control, the second half was very likely...
