Okay lets all take a moment and breath in silence. Ready? Go...
30 seconds of silence has passed...
WHAT THE HELL!
Did Chelsea REALLY just beat Manchester United? 2-1? I wish I was at Stamford Bridge standing beside Sir Alex Ferguson when Luiz scored the equalizer... I think I might have laughed at him, but only because of how confident he was in winning at Stamford this afternoon. Okay, lets discuss..
Just minutes into the game and Torres already kicks the ball at net and misses. On the other end Nani delivers to Hernandez who basically passed it to Chelsea's goalie Petr Cech(he's pretty unstoppable). Torres had a short lived celebration as he tried to score again, and failed. The first 15 minutes of the match showed how desperately Chelsea needed to win since they had most of the ball possession. Torres, Essian, and Malouda all attempted a shot on goal but were denied. Finally, after 15 minutes of Chelsea making passes and trying to score, United makes its first real introduction with Chelsea's goal but once again Cech intervened. FERGS turned that frown UPSIDE DOWN as pass pass pass pass, Wayne Rooney maintains posession and GOOOAAAALLL - Rooney scores for United - as he has in 3 consecutive premier games. Cech definitely made an effort here as he flopped over to his right and just missed the ball.
I'm pretty sure Rooney made a concious effort to stay away from the young, invincible and Brazilian, David Luiz. Malouda made a free kick that ALMOST made it but not quite and Lampard shot on target but it was soon saved by the great Van Der Sar. Bam Bam Bam diggy Bam Bam at 54 minutes with an assist by Ivanovic, Luiz slaps the ball in with his holy foot like it was nobodys business. Aw, Fergies upside down frown turned right side up. Through out the game Torres was eager for his first Chelsea goal, but could never quite make it. Does Chelsea's management regret their decision of buying him from Liverpool? Who knows. A 1-1 tie as Berbatov gets ready to come onto the field and Anelka was subbed for Mr. Didier Drogba himself... who was surprisingly in a pleasant mood today. Lampard at 79 minutes received a penalty kick; Lampard versus Van Der Sar - well we all know what happened after that. 2-1 Chelsea. Lampard was praised by Drogba who gave him a nice little hug and Ancelotti smiled, relieved. The commentators in awe said that Chelsea didnt't just win this match for themselves, they won it for Manchester City, they won it for Arsenal... they won it for all those who could not defeat the Red Devils. Damn. That was intense. Chelsea show cased why they used to be on top and basically proved that they still got it...
I'm ready to see what kind of surprises the Blues have in store next...
HERES A QUESTION? Okay yes, Chelsea won, but what I want to know is why none of their strikers scored? Goals were made by defender LUIZ and midfielder LAMPARD.
