Manchester United have increased their defensive strength in the air after Rio Ferdinand's return, Valencia did not have a good header, Mata drove a corner kick, the ball was pushed out of the box by Vidic, and Valencia defender Albelda grabbed the landing spot and fired a long-range shot over the crossbar.

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar opened the goal, and he drove straight to his striker Berbatov.

Despite his height, Berbatov's header was not very good, and the ball was pushed back by the Valencia centre-back.

In the midfield scramble, Manchester United's crazy running impact players had room to play, and the ball was grabbed by Park Ji-sung, who was very active in running.

Park Ji-sung is a functional player at Manchester United, and usually takes the ball to Scholes or Rooney and other offensive players, and now he is close to Gao Xiaodong, and the first choice for getting the ball is, of course, to find Gao Xiaodong.

Park Ji-sung passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong and cut forward to the side, while Nani and Anderson also ran desperately forward to meet Gao Xiaodong.

In Manchester United's starting lineup today, Park Ji-sung, Anderson and Nani are all very close to Gao Xiaodong, and their forward insertion not only takes away Gao Xiaodong's defense, but also gives Gao Xiaodong more points to respond to, so that Gao Xiaodong has more options for taking the ball.

Facing a strong team like Valencia today, and being the core of Manchester United's attack, Gao Xiaodong was very excited, he did not pass the ball after receiving the ball, but used the space pulled by his teammates to break forward quickly.

Valencia attaches great importance to Gao Xiaodong's defense, after Gao Xiaodong got the ball, defenders Albelda and Costa quickly came up to cover Gao Xiaodong, and central defender Navarro also took two steps forward to block Gao Xiaodong's long-range shooting space.

Gao Xiaodong didn't dare to force a breakthrough, he immediately distributed the ball to Nani, and continued to run to the middle of the penalty area.

Although Nani played with Gao Xiaodong today, because Manchester United's three backs almost did not have the ability to attack on the side, he received the ball and walked to the side and broke through from the side.

Valencia also took Nani's defence equally seriously, and before Nani could get up to speed, Pablo chased back and quickly tackled Nani from behind.

Nanila spun the ball away from Pablo, and when he turned around again, Pablo and Miguel were already in a flanking position.

By this time, left-back Patrice Evra had already provided the assist, and Nani quickly cut inside with the ball and left Evra on the wing.

Pablo followed Nani, who knocked the ball to Evra and sent him to attack Valencia full-back Miguel.

Evra made two feints in a row to shake off Miguel's center of gravity, but Miguel was experienced and was not fooled, and Evra had to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong.

At this moment, Gao Xiaodong returned to the position of the front midfield, Valencia did not relax his marking at all, Gao Xiaodong just received the ball, and Albelda immediately quickly pressed him closely.

At this moment, Valencia's three lines have been settled, Gao Xiaodong did not blindly dribble the ball, he passed the ball horizontally to Park Ji-sung, mobilized the opponent, and looked for a gap in the attack.

Park Ji-sung tried to rush forward to see if there was no chance, and then passed it back to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong then passed the ball back to Fletcher, and walked back himself, ready to pull Valencia's formation outward.

However, after Fletcher passed the ball to Carrick, Carrick, who had been absent for a long time, wanted to prove that he had fully recovered in this strong conversation, and after receiving the ball, he played a long ball forward to Berbatov.

Carrick's pass was accurate, but Valencia was more tightly marked by Berbatov's single arrow, two central defenders, Navarro marked, Maduro stepped up, and under the two of them, Berbatov could not stop the ball, and the ball was grabbed by Costa and passed to Mata.

Juan Mata is a very good technical figure and is the number 10 of Valencia's attack, and he receives the ball and shakes it off Park Ji-sung and dribbles forward quickly.

Just saw Gao Xiaodong's patient dispatch in the midfield, Ferguson was very happy, he was worried that Gao Xiaodong would be in a hurry to perform, giving Valencia a chance, judging from the performance in the first ten minutes, Gao Xiaodong is still very mature, but the age of Carrick is too impatient, giving the opponent a chance to counterattack.

Park Ji-sung was in hot pursuit behind Mata, midfielder Fletcher quickly pulled the side, full-back Rafael also rushed forward to intercept, and the three came over to flank Mata.

Juan Mata played the ball to Domingos and cut in between Fletcher and Rafael, while striker Soldado was quick to get into the United box.

Juan Mata and Soldado drew the attention of United's defence, but Dominguez didn't pass the ball to them, he took the ball and pulled it towards goal, then turned around again and passed it to Pablo on the other side.

Pablo's off-ball movement was brilliant, and at the moment he had unconsciously run in front of Nani and quickly went down after receiving the ball.

At this moment, Evra has been drawn to the edge of the penalty area, and seeing Pablo receiving the ball, Evra hurriedly patches up the flanks to prevent Pablo from going down.

Valencia's forward attack and pass were very fast, Patra had just pulled the side, Pablo passed the ball back to Albelda, who was inserted into the ribs.

Carrick came over to defend Albelda, who in turn played the ball to Juan Mata, who ran down the middle.

Juan Mata kept the ball in the gap between Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic to find diagonal striker Soldado.

Valencia's counter-attack was fast, accurate and tacit, and a few passes were made to the Manchester United penalty area.

However, Vidic and Ferdinand have worked together for many years, and the tacit understanding between the two has reached the point where they don't need to speak.

Soldado was blocked by Nemanja Vidic and by the time he got past Vidic, United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar had already stepped in to get the ball.

The game played almost 10 minutes and Valencia had yet to have a shot on goal, but they were patient in attacking, like this one, as long as it was Soldado got the ball, it could be a goal.

In their first game of the group stage, away to Bursa in Turkey, Valencia had just five shots on goal, but they scored four goals with a terrifying efficiency.

Van der Sar got the ball and threw the ball quickly to Gao Xiaodong to launch a quick counterattack.

When Gao Xiaodong got the ball, Valencia had at least five people near the United penalty area, which was a good opportunity to counter-attack.

Gao Xiaodong showed his strong ability to read the game at this time, he took the ball and pushed forward as quickly as possible, not giving Valencia frontcourt players time to defend.

At this moment, Albelda, who is responsible for marking Gao Xiaodong, is still behind Gao Xiaodong, Mata and Pablo have not returned, and only Costa is left as the defender in the middle.

Costa quickly stepped up and tried to use a tactical foul to stop Gao Xiaodong's dribbling advance.

But Gao Xiaodong didn't give Costa this chance, he quickly passed the ball to Berbatov with his back to the goal, wanting Berbatov to make a wall for himself and use his speed to break through Costa.

However, Berbatov and Gao Xiaodong did not have a tacit understanding, he received the ball and turned around, trying to single-handedly pick up two central defenders.

Centre-back Navarro didn't give Berbatov that chance, and he stretched out his foot to bring Berbatov down.

The referee blew the whistle and awarded United a free-kick, but Navarro was not shown a yellow card.

Berbatov protested to the referee, saying he had a good chance and should have given Navarro a yellow card, but the referee ignored him.

Seeing Berbatov win a free kick, Gao Xiaodong was very unhappy, like eating a Xiangwei ice cream.

If Dimitar passes the ball to Gao Xiaodong just now, Gao Xiaodong can face the central defender directly, and the central defender comes to defend Gao Xiaodong, Berbatov can even get a defender alone, or even a goalkeeper.

However, Berbatov broke through with the ball and was brought down by Navarro, but fortunately won a free kick, if Navarro did not foul and broke the ball, Berbatov became the finisher of Manchester United's attack.
