Chapter 942: Red Devils Advance
The score became 3:3, and Manchester United led Inter Milan 5:4 on aggregate.
With just two more minutes of such a scoreline, Manchester United will knock out Inter Milan to advance.
Of course, Inter Milan have a chance to score one more goal and then beat Manchester United on away goals, and they don't have time to fight back.
At this time, time is more precious than gold to Inter Milan, and while the Manchester United players are celebrating wildly, Inter Milan has already set the ball and waited for the United celebration to end.
Manchester United players have forgotten the time excitedly, but even if they are not excited, they will definitely choose to delay the time, don't look at only more than two minutes, Inter Milan can launch several attacks in these two minutes, in case of a long-range shot or an own goal, Manchester United can't find a place to cry.
Cambiaso, Lucio and Samuel Eto'o immediately went to the referee and asked him to stop the United celebrations and start the game immediately.
Referee Proenza was flexible and when he saw the United players celebrating, he smiled and said to Eto'o: "Let them celebrate, I'll make up for the time." ”
Samuel Eto'o, Cambiasso and others adamantly disagree, they have a lot of experience and know that it's not just a matter of making up time, it's a matter of waiting for a long time, the pace of the game and the mentality of the players will change, and it's best to strike while the iron is hot.
Proenza had no choice but to halt United's celebrations and let them hurry back to their own half.
At this time, Ferguson was not idle, he called O'Shea over and waited for the opportunity to play.
Ferguson was very clever and he didn't put O'Shea on right away, not only did he have to use O'Shea to stall for time, but he also wanted to use O'Shea to disrupt Inter's rhythm.
After Inter Milan kicked off, they seized all the time to launch a fierce attack on Manchester United's penalty area, and everyone at United came to their own half of the field and defended with all their hands.
Inter Milan had less time than they had just played at Manchester United, and they were even less patient to organise, with two centre-backs, Ranocchia and Lucio, rushing straight into the Manchester United penalty area as central strikers, and the other players took the ball and hung into the penalty area, wanting to shoot birds indiscriminately.
Although there is no technical content in this way, there are two high points such as Lucio and Ranocchia in the penalty area, and it is difficult to say whether they can score goals.
Ferguson saw Lucio's header on the defender's body, fell into a scuffle in the penalty area, and finally did not know who was kicked out of the box, the referee awarded a corner, he was shocked, and quickly replaced O'Shea on the field to delay the time.
In the last minute of stoppage time, O'Shea came on to replace Paul Scholes to defend Inter's last corner.
Inter completely abandoned the defence this time, and the players all pressed through the center circle, and goalkeeper Cesar came to the box to fight for a header.
McCone drove the ball towards the penalty area, and the United penalty area was chaotic, there were too many people, and goalkeeper Van der Sar had no way to clear the ball, so he could only watch the others fight for the top.
The free-spirited Inter Milan got to the ground and it was Cesar who headed the ball over the crossbar.
At this moment, stoppage time has arrived, and the referee did not give any more time, and directly blew the whistle to end the game.
After a thrilling battle, the United were on the verge of breaking down, as soon as the whistle blew at the end of the game, the players took off their shirts, the coaches and substitutes poured onto the pitch, the fans jumped up and sang the team anthem, and everyone cheered wildly in celebration.
"It's over! The game is over! It is the Red Devils Manchester United ...... who advanced to the top 8" Andy Gray shouted excitedly: "A hard battle is finally over! No one expected to play so hard before the game, the defending champion is the defending champion, even if they are down, they will not easily admit defeat, fortunately we still have Xiao Donggao! Without his two goals, Manchester United will be a big upset today! But these are all in the past! Manchester United has advanced! Celebrate! You deserve to win......"
Huaguo's commentator He Hui was even more excited: "Oh my God! It's finally over! This game feels more nervous than last season's Champions League final, 16 into 8 to meet the defending champion, Manchester United is really no one's luck, but now it should be Inter Milan who complains about luck, if the defending champion doesn't meet Manchester United, maybe they will go a little further...... Inter have had a lot of problems this season, but they have had a lot of bad luck...... Not to mention Inter, today should be congratulated Manchester United, congratulations to Xiaodong, they have finally crossed perhaps the most difficult hurdle on the road to the final, as long as they do not meet Barcelona Real Madrid, no team behind can stop this Manchester United! Today is really dangerous! But it should be lucky for the fans, because the desperate situation forced out the strongest state of the fat man, Manchester United 80 million to buy the fat man is really worth it, without the fat man Manchester United will be over, see the fat man show eighteen kinds of shooting skills, maybe the striker is the best position for the fat man......"
As the United players celebrated, Samuel Eto'o approached Gao Xiaodong and said, "Gao! You have caused me the worst defeat and you have to make amends to me." ”
Samuel Eto'o didn't feel too much frustration, after all, he had won the Champions League three times, he had won all the accolades he deserved, and he couldn't get what he didn't, and his frustration was not as strong as that of other Inter players.
"Luck, luck. Gao Xiaodong is not humble, this sentence is from the bottom of his heart, there is indeed a lot of luck today, if it weren't for him taking out 80 points to buy a lot of skills, maybe it would have been planted at the feet of Inter Milan. "I'm treating you to supper. ”
Samuel Eto'o said: "Late night is not enough, leave this shirt for me as a souvenir, maybe I won't have the chance to meet again in the Champions League in the future." ”
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile, "No, no matter how bad Inter is, there should be no problem in entering the Champions League." ”
Samuel Eto'o smiled and said: "I won't necessarily be at Inter next season. ”
Gao Xiaodong was taken aback, "Samuel, where are you going?"
Eto'o hesitated, "Not necessarily, it's possible not to be in the big four leagues. ”
Gao Xiaodong was even more surprised, "Why, you are only 30 years old." ”
Eto'o smiled bitterly: "I'm not like you, I have more people to support than you, I need to make more money." ”
"Well, good luck. ”
Gao Xiaodong sighed, he had contact with African players such as Eto'o when he was at Inter, and knew that African players had a stronger family concept than Chinese, and players like Eto'o and Muntari had to support one or two hundred relatives.
While speaking, reporters gathered around to interview Gao Xiaodong.
No reporter came to Eto'o, Eto'o also exchanged jerseys with Gao Xiaodong and left, football is very realistic, now it is the world of young people, professional players are out of fashion when they are over 30 years old, fans no longer pay attention, and reporters will certainly not waste energy and resources on them.
After the ecstasy of victory passed, Gao Xiaodong suddenly became happy, after all, it was the team he had played for, and it was impossible to play an unrelated team like that, so in the face of reporters, Gao Xiaodong had no desire to talk about it, and simply coped with a few words and went back to the locker room.
