With Ryan Giggs on the pitch, United made changes both in attack and defence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Offensively, Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs flew together on both wings, and Hulk and Rodriguez attacked against each other.

Defensively, he gave up the marking defense of Gao Xiaodong and adopted the tactics of zone defense.

Ferguson's understanding and judgment of the game is very accurate, and the substitutions are also targeted, Ronaldo and Giggs are very sharp in attack, they gather on the wings, Hulk and Rodriguez dare not attack unscrupulously, there is no so much pressure, Evra and O'Shea, who were clumsy and frequent mistakes in the first half, are gone, replaced by those who can attack and defend O'Shea and Evra.

In terms of defense, Park Ji-sung not only did not defend Gao Xiaodong in the first half, but also destroyed Manchester United's offensive formation, it can be said that he was defeated at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and after taking regional defense, Manchester United adopted the tactics of entrapment and containment for Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong is fast and strong, but the technique is rough, not enough to dribble and pass the ball out of the multi-person package, this tactic is a good limitation of Gao Xiaodong's organization and scheduling, the only flaw is not easy to limit Gao Xiaodong's long-range shots.

After changing their style of play, United quickly had a shot on goal.

In the 60th minute of the game, Giggs's realistic feint shook off Fusile, cut into the penalty area and passed the ball back to the edge of the box, and Scholes followed with a long-range shot.

Porto goalkeeper Helton didn't react, but the ball grazed the post and flew off the line.

Three minutes later, Carrick found Giggs with a 50-metre long pass from the back, Giggs crossed again, and Ronaldo headed the ball from a tight angle, but the ball was blocked by Rolando with his body.

Giggs's onslaught on the right forced Porto's defence to the right badly, when Giggs suddenly played to Scholes in the middle, Scholes quickly distributed the ball to Ronaldo, Ronaldo broke through Sissokoho for the first time in the game and passed the ball into the box to find Rooney.

Rolando's header was not far away and Carrick followed with a volley, but the ball went over the back of the net.

Ferreira reacted slowly on the spot, and was attacked by Manchester United in a row and did not make adjustments in time, Gao Xiaodong found that although Manchester United's side attack was sharp, the main shot was the three midfielders in front of Manchester United, and he was caught by Scholes, Fletcher, Carrick took turns to defend, Fernando and Meireles wanted to help defend the side, unable to help him, he could not help Falcao forward, so he simply retreated to the back to prevent Manchester United midfielder from cutting.

Gao Xiaodong's retreat is very critical, the average offensive player returns to the backcourt to defend is actually similar to having more pillars, and sometimes it will help, but Gao Xiaodong is a full-attribute player, not a cameo, back to the back position, he is the back waist.

When to get in the position, when to grab it, when to pinch it, familiar with the road, plus Gao Xiaodong has the speed and strength of the team, as soon as he comes back, the Porto central defender has three backs, whether it is Scholes or Fletcher, Carrick, the effect of the forward insertion immediately played more than half of the discount.

Without the midfielders flanking forward, United's attacking flanks are just scratching their boots, and it is difficult to directly threaten Helton's goal unless they can completely penetrate the full-backs' defence and cut inside to shoot into the box. However, today's Cristiano Ronaldo is tired, Ryan Giggs is old, and neither has the ability to completely defeat Fusile and Sissokoho.

After Gao Xiaodong retreated, not only the defense was solid, but the offensive space also came out.

In the 66th minute of the game, Rolando, Fernando and Meireles made a quick short pass at the edge of the penalty area, dodged the pressing of Rooney and Scholes, and exported the ball to Gao Xiaodong's feet.

Gao Xiaodong received the ball and turned around, Fletcher quickly pressed over, Gao Xiaodong deliberately slowed down, flicked the ball outward when Fletcher pounced, and hit Fletcher chest with his shoulder.

Fletcher paid more attention to the ball, he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to be so insidious, hurriedly retracted his feet, was hit at the chest and abdomen junction, staggered back a few steps, and didn't catch his breath for half a sound.

"Damn!

"Huaguo, the fat man, is rampant and domineering on the court, why didn't the referee punish him. ”

"He didn't even get a yellow card!"

"This fat man is too obscene, and the range of movement is not large, and Fletcher seems to have bumped into it by himself. ”

"Shameless with the calculations Fletcher!"

……

The Manchester United fans in the stands all hated Gao Xiaodong, but they had no choice but to scold and shush Gao Xiaodong to relieve their anger.

Gao Xiaodong didn't care about the boos of the fans in the stands, he overshadowed Fletcher and rushed forward with the ball, at this time Rodriguez and Hulk also ran forward desperately to meet Gao Xiaodong.

Ryan Giggs and Ronaldo saw that the front court was going to form a 4-on-4 situation, and they also quickly ran back.

Facing Gao Xiaodong who was rushing quickly, Carrick didn't dare to retreat too far, for fear of Gao Xiaodong's long shot, and he didn't dare to stick too close, for fear of being swept by Gao Xiaodong.

But how can this distance be so easy to grasp, Gao Xiaodong entered the thirty-meter area, Gao Xiaodong suddenly made an emergency stop, then accelerated to start, and then another emergency stop changed direction, and shook off the angle of the shot, Gao Xiaodong did not hesitate to shoot angrily, and the ball flew straight to the right side of the goal like a cannonball.

Gao Xiaodong's explosiveness was amazing, Van der Sar didn't dare to slack off, and flew over.

With his arm stretched to the extreme but did not touch the ball, Van der Sar's heart was cold and he felt dangerous, but the ball flew off the bottom line against the post.

"Ahh

"It's so hanging!"

"It's a pity!"

From the stands, there were voices of regret and joy from fans on both sides.

Porto's attack attracted the attention of Manchester United, who shrank a little in the midfield, strengthened the defense when switching between attack and defense, and did not give Gao Xiaodong the opportunity to dribble forward.

But with Gao Xiaodong's retreat, Hulk and Rodriguez let go of their hands and feet, and the attack was more daring.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong's long pass was transferred, Hulk cut inside with the ball, shook off Evans at the front of the penalty area, and raised his foot to shoot angrily.

Hulk's shooting power was comparable to that of Gao Xiaodong, and his kick flew out of the grass at a speed of seventy or eighty kilometers per hour.

However, Van der Sar's form was also trained by Porto, he flew to block the ball, Falcao shook off Vidic to follow up with the push, and was saved by the brave Van der Sar.

The two shots in quick succession were quick and urgent, and it was only when Vidic kicked the ball off the sideline that the United fans let out a huge sigh and secretly called for luck.

Falcao didn't expect the inevitable follow-up shot to be miraculously saved by Van der Sar, he covered his face with his hands, looked up to the sky and sighed, only then did he understand how buggy a world-class goalkeeper is.

Ferguson couldn't stand Evans any longer, and he replaced Evans with Neville, with O'Shea playing centre-back and Neville playing full-back, completely changing the backline.

Ferreira finally made a substitution adjustment at this time, Guarin replaced Rodriguez, Guarin, Fernando, and Meireles played three backs, Gao Xiaodong continued to rush forward, and Hulk and Falcao partnered as two forwards.

Ferreira thinks very beautifully, the three backs are solid in defense, Gao Xiaodong can also play the role of organizing counterattacks and attacking the opponent's goal, but in this way, there are more people in the middle, which is not conducive to the play of Gao Xiaodong, who is slightly rough and fast, and Manchester United has an advantage.

In the 77th minute of the game, Ferguson saw that the score could not be rewritten, and he made a third substitution, replacing the veteran Scholes with Argentine striker Tevez, and sent four attackers to launch the final attack.

In the final moments, Ferguson's courage boosted the morale of the United players and supporters, and the 70,000 Red Devils all stood up and sang the team anthem to cheer the players, and the United players ran desperately to launch a tidal wave of attacks on Porto.

Porto didn't want to retreat, but they couldn't help it, and under United's high pressure, they had to retreat to the half-pitch and stubbornly resist the fierce attack of the Manchester United.

In the 88th minute, the god of luck was touched by Manchester United's courage.

Sissokoho disrupts Ronaldo's dribble, Gary. Neville struggled to throw the throw-in straight into the box, Rooney.

The Porto players were caught off guard, and Sapuruna and Rolando intercepted together to deny Rooney a chance to shoot.

Rooney turned sideways towards goal and tried to volley, but the angle of the shot in front of him was completely blocked, and he cleverly smashed the ball into the edge of the box with his heel and passed it to Tevez.

Tevez was between Fernando and Guarin and he got up quickly and volleyed in a volley that was a step late for both Fernando and Guarin as the ball whizzed under the crossbar and into the net.

The distance is so close, the ball speed is so fast, the goalkeeper Helton, who performed bravely today, can only look at the ball and sigh.

“Goal！Goal！Goal……”

"Tevez!"

"Tevez lore!"

"Lore!

……

The United fans went crazy, the demons danced in the stands, the applause thundered, the mountains shook with shouts, and the whole stadium turned into a gushing volcano.

Ferguson threw his arms up and cheered as he rushed out.

Although 2:1 is not ideal, it is also a victory, with this goal, the initiative is in the hands of Manchester United, how can Ferguson, who wants to win the five-time crown, not be excited.

Ferreira was stunned, this time was beaten by the opponent, which was too bad, but he didn't have the courage to let go and fight again, and felt that it was good to have an away goal, so he didn't take any action.

The fans of Porto were very sorry and very angry, and many of them began to curse.

Yingnan pouted: "I came all the way to England, but I saw failure." ”

Wu Lei said irritably: "Okay, it's good that Porto can play like this, with an away goal, what else do you need." ”

The Porto players in the stadium began to complain.

"Whoever defends Rooney, let him pass the ball at will!"

"Whoever defended Tevez, two people wrapped it up, let him shoot. ”

"He didn't stop the ball and shot directly, how to defend it. ”

"How do we defend against Rooney, in the box, can we still take it down?"

……

Gao Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and saw the captain's armband on his arm, damn, the first time he led the team to play the Champions League, he couldn't just lose, but unfortunately the special points were gone. There was still time, Gao Xiaodong yelled at his teammates who were complaining to each other: "Mad! Blind Bb, keep attacking, there are still a few minutes." ”

Seeing his teammates calm down, Gao Xiaodong yelled again, "Give me a bold attack, run, who doesn't run, don't blame me for being unkind after the game." ”

Fernando said: "Listen to the captain!"

Hulk said, "Well, we can't give up!"

Falcao: "They could have scored in the 88th minute and we could have scored in stoppage time. ”

The United players celebrated for a long time, and by the time Porto kicked off again, half a minute of stoppage time had passed.

There will be three minutes of stoppage time.

Manchester United's players thought the big picture was decided, began to shrink the formation, focusing on defence, but they did not give up attacking, for Manchester United, 2:1 is not enough, they hope to take advantage of Porto's big attack to counterattack and score another goal, completely seal the promotion place.

After Porto kicked off in the middle circle, all the Porto players pressed forward, Gao Xiaodong held the ball and dribbled forward, Fletcher made a fierce flying shovel, but Gao Xiaodong did not dodge, and picked the ball up, the ball crossed Fletcher, but Gao Xiaodong was tackled.

Everyone thought that Gao Xiaodong was going to lie on the ground and roll a few times, but Gao Xiaodong got up and rushed over to grab the ball with Giggs.

Giggs reached for the ball and tried to get the ball away and get a foul.

But Giggs underestimated Gao Xiaodong's speed and overestimated his 36-year-old age, Gao Xiaodong touched the ball first and knocked Giggs into a stumbling one.

Gao Xiaodong connected the two of them, Carrick and O'Shea panicked, and the two came over together to attack Gao Xiaodong.

At the same time, Falcao inserted it into the left rib, leaving the middle to Gao Xiaodong, and at the same time allowing Gao Xiaodong to find the line to pass to him, Hulk cut diagonally into the right rib from the side, and shouted: "Gao team!

At this moment, Porto's two forwards and one forward three made a zigzag into the penalty area, which is Porto's regular attack tactics, and Manchester United has long been prepared for this, but unexpectedly did not expect Gao Xiaodong to break through Giggs and Fletcher in a row.

Vidic followed close at Falcao, but Evra was left behind by Hulk.

Hulk was at his most dangerous at the moment, Porto scored the first goal and was unguarded.

None of the United fans in the stands sat down, they were almost suffocating with nervousness, and many couldn't help but shout: "Danger!" and "Mark!"

O'Shea saw Hulk and quickly moved laterally to intercept Gao Xiaodong and Hulk's passing lane.

In O'Shea's opinion, Carrick should be able to block Gao Xiaodong, and even if he can't, he can foul.

However, at this time, a figure cut into the forbidden area from Gao Xiaodong's side, and shouted, "Captain give it to me!"

It's Guarin!

He thrust into the space behind Carrick at high speed from behind Gao Xiaodong.

It's true that there is a gap behind Carrick, but Carrick is in front of Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong can't pass it at all, and there is one more person in the middle lane, and Gao Xiaodong has no way to break through.

What a mess!

The Porto fans in the stands were nervous and didn't dare to blink, and when they saw Gua Er stunned running like this, they all scolded: "Bad pen!" "Idiot!" "Pig!"

However, just as Guarin passed behind Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong had an idea, changed the direction of the ball, and moved sideways to the outside of Guarin's body.

Carrick subconsciously followed Gao Xiaodong to move.

Boom!

Carrick happened to collide with Guarin.

Gao Xiaodong flashed the time and space to shoot, and shot angrily on the penalty line.

The ball was slammed with the instep of the foot and whistled against the turf and flew towards the net.

The distance was so close, the ball was so fast, goalkeeper Van der Sar couldn't react even if he was a goalkeeper, and the ball was already rolling in the net before he fell to the ground.

2:2

In the second minute of stoppage time, Gao Xiaodong scored!

Seeing the ball enter the net, Gao Xiaodong raised his arms and ran frantically to the stands, pounced forward during the run, and slid close to the ground.

The suffocating atmosphere that shrouded Old Trafford was shattered by Gao Xiaodong's kick, the Porto fans screamed wildly, and the United fans collapsed in their seats like popped balloons.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson shook his head in disbelief, he could never have imagined that the stunner would turn into a counter-kill in the blink of an eye, and by a small club and a 19-year-old newcomer.
