Chapter 941: Double Kill the Old Club
Seeing the staff holding up the sign for five minutes of stoppage time, Leonardo took the lead and couldn't hold his breath, he turned to the bench to call Harja, who was introduced during the winter break, and in the excitement, Leonardo mixed garlic at his feet and almost fell on his head.
However, at the moment, the atmosphere on the stadium is unusually solemn, and no one is in the mood to watch Leonardo's jokes, and everyone's attention is on the newcomer to be replaced, because he is replaced by Sneijder, the core of Inter Milan.
Although there were only five minutes left in the game, the score was only half a goal apart, and these five minutes were by no means garbage time, and every decision of the coach could affect the final result.
Sneijder was heavily guarded by Manchester United today, but his performance was still eye-catching, and apart from a goal, his playmaking was also key to Inter's lead.
However, now Sneijder can no longer run, so he can only stay at the back and use the pass to intimidate Inter's door.
Leonardo is not conservative, and the Moroccan midfielder Halgia who is ready to be replaced is also an attacking player, also 29 years old, is Leonardo's own reinforcement, the key key, Leonardo wants to consume more time, rather than really hoping that Hargia can help Inter expand the score.
But Sneijder was unhappy with Leonardo's substitution, he wanted to play until the last second and personally kick Gao Xiaodong and his Manchester United out of the Champions League, so he had a gloomy face when he walked down, and when Halja wanted to hug him, he just patted Halja.
Leonardo saw that Sneijder was unhappy, he hurriedly went over and took the coat and wanted to put it on Sneijder, but Sneijder didn't accept him, took the coat and walked to the bench, and stood there watching the game.
Ferguson made just two substitutions and a substitution, but there was no one on the bench and the situation on the pitch looked good, with United always finding a shot despite not scoring, and Ferguson felt he didn't need to pile up strikers on the pitch.
on the field
United don't just play high balls and long balls, thanks to two of United's veterans, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.
Although this is a battle of revenge, a battle between Gao Xiaodong and his old club, it is easy to get young people adrenaline-pumping, but for Giggs and Scholes, who have won dozens of championships and played professionally for more than 20 years, this is just an important game, and they are very calm.
Veterans like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, who are close to retirement, are most afraid of the opponent's mad dog-like pressing, after all, their speed and physical reflexes are not at their peak, but now Inter Milan are defending intensively, no one is pressing them, so that they can calmly control the ball and think, for old demons like Giggs and Scholes, their experience will provide the greatest help to the team.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Ryan Giggs took the ball on the side and entered the 30-meter area, and now there are not many Inter players pressing in this area, they are more to defend the penalty area, and put a central defender on the wing, symbolically defending Manchester United crosses.
Rooney was already struggling on the flank, and when he saw Ryan Giggs coming, he quickly raised his hand to ask for the ball, wanting to continue to challenge McConn.
Every time Giggs passes to Rooney, Wang Laoji is not satisfied with Rooney's previous few brutal actions, in the face of the experienced McConn, even if Rooney can break through, the pass is very reluctant under the interference of McConn, the quality is very poor, and many times it is given to the opponent's defender.
Giggs beckoned Rooney to pull McCone up and go down to pass the ball himself, Rooney ran towards Giggs, but McCone followed, but the experienced Cambiaso had already come over to defend Giggs.
Giggs didn't continue to dwell on the flanks and crossed straight to Scholes to divert the attack.
Scholes pointed to Valencia, but suddenly passed the ball from the area where Cambiasso had left to the rib of the penalty area to find Gao Xiaodong.
The line of this pass was very narrow, and Scholes could only pass high to Xiaodong's feet.
For the average player, it's easy to stop the ball, it's hard to shoot, but with so many people in the penalty area, as long as the ball is stopped, there is no chance to shoot.
If Gao Xiaodong had been before, the ball would have relied on the opponent and tried to make a way for his teammates, but now Gao Xiaodong cleverly knocked the ball and knocked the ball towards the goal with his heel.
It was another shot that the opponent's defenders and goalkeepers couldn't imagine, and Lucio was following the next step to stick to it, and the ball flew past him unfast, but Lucio could only watch and didn't react at all.
Goalkeeper Cesar went to block the right near corner, he had to prevent Gao Xiaodong from shooting, but Gao Xiaodong's heel knocked this time, but it was the lower left corner, Cesar was still moving, the ball flew past him, Cesar hurriedly "braked", wanted to reflexively pounce on the ball, but sat on the ground.
Previously, Gao Xiaodong's scorpion tail hit the crossbar, and the fans felt that this time it should be about the same, the goalkeepers fell, but what was heartbreaking was that the ball hit the post again and bounced out, and was kicked out by defender Mota.
"Hold the grass! It's the goalpost again!"
"Oh God!
"Is this the goalpost of Old Trafford?"
"Made! the thick-eyed man at the doorpost has also rebelled!"
"No one has the luck of the fat man!"
……
Five minutes into two goalposts, Gao Xiaodong was about to collapse, he held his head, and wanted to cry without tears.
Leonardo's heart fell into hell when Cesar fell, and in an instant, he returned to heaven.
"Thank God! And the doorposts!"
Leonardo hugged the assistant teacher and cheered.
Ferguson put down his outstretched arms and cursed fiercely, this is the second time he has been shaken, and the old coach is also depressed to death, is God really not ready to let him get the third Champions League trophy?
Moratti's nervous heart in the VIP box was almost unbearable, and he kept shaking his head and muttering, "It's too dangerous!
When Manchester United took the throw-in, Gao Xiaodong once again opened the superstar road system, ready to use the last special point.
But Gao Xiaodong looked at the stoppage time and only a minute had passed, he endured it for a while, and said in his heart, wait two more minutes, if you don't score in another two minutes, you will be out of the way, and you must not let Inter Milan advance today.
Gao Xiaodong hit two postposts and Hernandez shot high, which gave Inter more defensive confidence, and they felt that they were lucky, so they simply shrunk back, and even Eto'o returned to his 30-meter area to defend and want to consume the last four minutes.
At the moment, except for Van der Sar, all the players of Manchester United were in the Inter half, and the central defender Smalling went up to the center to use it, and the central defender Brown served and the ball was passed to Scholes.
Everyone thought United should become the Sky Link and started to play long balls, but Scholes remained calm, he passed to Giggs, who tried to burst to the bottom line to see if it was okay, and then passed to Scholes, who passed to Valencia.
Valencia saw that his teammates in the box were raising their hands to ask for the ball and wanted to cross directly, but Scholes asked for the ball again.
Manchester United fans are a little impatient, it's just a few minutes, it's a fart, hurry up and cross, even if it's a brainless cross, it's good to close your eyes and shoot blindly, how can you score if you don't shoot.
The Manchester United players couldn't hold their breath either, and Rooney saw that he was standing on the side and no one was passing, so he simply ran to the penalty area to grab the point.
Gao Xiaodong is the calmest of the Manchester United players, not that he doesn't want to win, but that he has hole cards in his hand, and if he can't do it, he will make a big move.
Seeing Giggs and Scholes reversing the ball, Gao Xiaodong patiently ran and tore apart the Inter defense, at the moment there were Smarin, Rooney and Hernandez in the penalty area, it was very crowded, Gao Xiaodong simply took the defenders to Rooney and Hernandez, and then used his strength and speed to quickly run out of the vacant position.
After several times in a row, Hernandez had a sharp heart, and when Gao Xiaodong ran to him, he suddenly ran outside the penalty area and took away a defender, and Gao Xiaodong's side immediately opened a big gap.
Giggs and Skuckles were on the ball when they found an open space and Scholes made a quick pass over it.
There are many defenders in the penalty area, and they are still running, and the gaps are fleeting, so Scholes passes a little fast, and after passing out, Scholes is a little worried, he is afraid that Gao Xiaodong will not touch the ball.
But now Gao Xiaodong has bought more than 20 kinds of shooting skills, and has become a kaleidoscope shooter, the ball rolls over, he doesn't even think about it, strides forward and stretches his feet, and the ball flies directly over the heads of all the defenders and towards the goal.
The action of this cushion shot was too simple, the amplitude was too small, it didn't even look like a shooting action, and goalkeeper Cesar subconsciously reached out to block almost all with the consciousness of decades of training, and his fingertips touched the ball, and the ball changed direction slightly, just hitting the crossbar and bounced into the net.
Affected by the two goalposts in front, although Gao Xiaodong's shot flew to the goal this time, no fans dared to celebrate in advance, and when they saw the ball hit the crossbar, the fans scolded in advance.
"I'm going to it, it's the doorpost again...... Ahh
"Door...... In, in, in!"
"High!goalgoal......"
……
When Ferguson hit the crossbar, Ferguson closed his eyes directly, and the old coach was desperate, he felt that he was the most unlucky coach in the world today, and his three stunners were blocked by the post.
However, at this moment, Ferguson heard the applause and cheers like a tsunami, and the old man opened his eyes, and he saw the stars and players running wildly in the boiling sea of blood in the stands.
"It's in! it's really in...... Gao ......" Ferguson clenched his fists and frantically wanted to rush onto the field, but the assistant coach reacted faster than him, and several people ran over to hug Ferguson and shouted at him frantically.
Leonardo's heart couldn't stand it anymore, and he squatted on the ground, covering his face with his hands, and buried his head tightly in his knees.
Sneijder has been standing in front of the windshield to watch the game, seeing that Gao Xiaodong finally scored a goal and almost killed Inter, he was so angry that he put his jacket on the ground and cursed angrily at the field, he felt that the fundamental reason for Inter Milan to lose the goal was to replace him and lose the threat of counterattack.
Seeing the ball bouncing into the net, Gao Xiaodong running wildly, Moratti's face in the box turned white, his hands trembled, even when Gao Xiaodong hit two goalposts in a row, he had a strong premonition that Gao Xiaodong was going to score, and now, this premonition has finally become a reality, and his Inter Milan has not escaped Gao Xiaodong's lore after all.
"It's over!
Moratti muttered to himself in disappointment, he knew that not only was this game over, but the season was also over! The league was 13 points behind, the Champions League was over, the Coppa Italia was eliminated, and his treble began with this Chinese man, and now it was also ended by this Chinese boy.
