Chapter 237 Red card again!

In the dressing room of the visiting team at Stamford Bridge, Ferguson turned on his hair dryer at almost full power, sprayed blood on the heads of several players who were still chattering about the penalty kick in the dressing room, and then started to arrange Tactics for the second half.

In fact, Ferguson was quite satisfied with Manchester United's performance in the first half. He just sprayed those Manchester United players not because of their poor performance in the first half.But he felt that the team's ability to seize opportunities was still lacking and needed to be strengthened.Furthermore, Ferguson specifically mentioned that the Chelsea players were a little impatient.

"It's their home ground, it's Chelsea's strength, it's their weakness, it's the key to our beating. Chelsea really want to beat us and get to the top of the table, it's going to be a huge psychological problem for the Chelsea players. The pressure, so we will continue to play the same way as the first half in the second half, you have to be patient enough."

Yin Jun and his teammates also responded one after another, obviously agreeing with Ferguson's analysis and judgment very much.

After thinking deeply, Yin Jun finally understood why Ferguson adopted such an iron-blooded and high-pressure policy at Manchester United, even a little unreasonable and cold-blooded, but the players of Manchester United still respect him so much. The reason is very simple. His tactics are really excellent, so good that everyone believes that as long as they follow his arrangements and obey his instructions, the team will definitely win!
………………

The second half of the game restarted.

Surprisingly, neither side made adjustments.

Ranieri still adopted the tactics of the first half, but strengthened his defense on Bridge's left side, and the focus was to limit Yin Jun.

The Italian head coach admires Yin Jun very much, so naturally he is also very afraid.

But just minutes into the second half, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

During a scramble, Chelsea midfielder Lampard flew from behind to tackle Giggs, and the Welsh winger hugged his ankle in pain on the spot.

All of this happened under the nose of the referee Willy. Of course, he directly showed Lampard a yellow card.

It is not controversial to get a yellow card for such a flying shovel behind, and even a few years later, it may be a red card directly.

But the problem is that Lampard had already received a yellow card for a foul on Yin Jun in the first half.

When the yellow card was awarded, Willy hadn't remembered that Lampard had already received a yellow card in the first half. After being reminded by the Manchester United players, he took out another red card and sent the Chelsea midfielder off the field.

Ranieri on the sidelines was extremely angry. He was very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty this time, thinking that it was just an unintentional mistake, and a verbal warning was enough, and he should not play the card directly.

Especially when Lampard has already received a yellow card in the first half, this second yellow card can be said to be a key penalty that will determine the trend of the game, and even the outcome!
Ranieri felt that the outcome of the game should be decided by the players themselves through the game, not by the referee playing cards.

He even hugged the fourth referee to reason because of this.

But in the end the referee ignored the protests from the sidelines, and Lampard was sent off the field depressed.

Ranieri immediately called Makelele to the sidelines to teach him the opportunity.

………………

After the game restarted, Yin Jun found that the defensive pressure he faced on the right was also much easier.

Due to the repeated impact of Forlan and Ruud van Nistelrooy, coupled with Keane's strong ability to push in from behind, Chelsea's defensive pressure in the center is also great.Originally, with Makelele and Lampard playing double midfielders, they could barely cope.Now that Lampard has received a red card, Makelele can't bear to play alone as a single midfielder.This forced Chelsea's two full-backs, Joe Cole and Gremi, to step in and help Makelele's defense in the middle.As for the two wings, you can only count on the two full-backs Melziot and Bridge.

At the same time, Yin Jun also noticed that Ranieri's assistant coach has started to let Duff on the bench go out to warm up, apparently to make a substitution.

At this time, Duff was replaced, making it clear that the chariots and horses were going to play a defensive counterattack, but it was not clear when the replacement would be made.But there is no doubt that Lampard's end has completely changed the trend of the game, and it also made Yin Jun feel ecstatic.

The opportunity is coming!

He is most eager to score goals, and he hopes to help Manchester United beat Chelsea away, which will be a milestone game for Manchester United this season.

………………

"Manchester United launched an attack from the right. Yin Jun made a cross from the right. Van Nistelrooy scored a low shot in the penalty area and the ball went wide."

"Manchester United's offense still takes two sides, especially after Lampard was sent off, they obviously played more actively, while Chelsea defended tenaciously."

"With one more player than the opponent, Manchester United also played more actively. Yin Jun was particularly active on the right."

Chelsea made a substitution at 8 minutes.Duff replaced Joe Cole, and Gronkshall replaced Crespo.

If Duff's replacement of Joe Cole was still expected, then Gronchard's replacement of Crespo was beyond everyone's expectations.

Especially Crespo himself, when the fourth official made a substitution sign, he pointed to his nose in disbelief, the meaning couldn't be more obvious: replace me?Is there a mistake? !

The fourth official was naturally not mistaken, because Ranieri did want to replace Crespo.

Although Gronshall, who was born in Greenland, Denmark, has a height of 1.8 meters and a very strong figure, he is not a pile center, but a winger, who can also play as a second striker.He has a sharp breakthrough from the wing, and also has a certain ability to score goals.

The biggest feature of Gronshall is his speed. In the early days of his career, it is said that many track and field coaches persuaded him to switch to sprinting.

Coupled with the replacement of a Duff who is extremely fast, it is obvious that Ranieri gave up his previous ball possession strategy and planned to use defensive counterattacks to deal with Manchester United's next stormy attack. Offensive.

This is also something that can't be helped. Manchester United and Chelsea are originally equal in strength. Chelsea suppressed Manchester United on the scene in the first half by virtue of their home court advantage.Now, with one player less to play, it is inevitable that the possession of the ball will fall into the hands of Manchester United.

In the case of ten players fighting against Manchester United, it is undoubtedly a dead end.
