The ball flew in an arc, and Milito, who was running in a straight line, stopped his chest forward, just stopped the ball a little before the top of the arc of the penalty area, and accelerated a few steps to chase it.

Milito's stopping strength was just right, because Gao Xiaodong's pass was too weird, goalkeeper Van der Sar did not attack at the first time, the ball fell to this position, Van der Sar was very embarrassed, he didn't have time to rush out to clear the siege, and could only attack to block Milito's shooting angle.

For the goalkeeper, letting the opponent form a single goal, he has already lost more than half of it.

The stoppage also gave Milito a huge advantage, as he barely had to slow down, avoiding being caught up by the United centre-backs and allowing him to concentrate on the goalkeeper.

In the face of the desperate goalkeeper Van der Sar, Milito did not make any fancy moves, he confidently pushed with his right foot, the ball flew past Van der Sar's feet, the distance was too close, goalkeeper Van der Sar fell to the ground too late, stretched out his foot to block and did not touch the ball, the ball flew directly into the lower right corner of the goal.

2:0

After the goal, Milito raised his arms, took off his shirt and ran to the stands.

Miracles aside, it was almost the goal that sealed the win.

The Inter players were so excited that they ran after Milito to the stands.

"Well done rice!"

"It's beautiful, Xiaodong!"

"A wonderful match!"

The teammates surrounded Gao Xiaodong and Milito beating their chests and patting their shoulders, using various ways to express their excitement and gratitude.

Jose Mourinho's nerves tightened after Gao Xiaodong's pass, and after Milito's goal, Mourinho exploded, he raised his hands and shouted "goalgoal" as he ran wildly on the sidelines.

Inter president Moratti is even crazier than Mourinho, the 70-year-old jumps three feet high, shouting frantically that he has won, and hugs anyone around him.

Mendes was arguably the calmest of the Inter fronts, and Florentino stood up to cheer and applaud, but Mendes just applauded and smiled calmly, looking like he was in control.

Mendes is the one who has the most confidence in Mourinho, after Gao Xiaodong's goal, he did not believe that Manchester United could turn it around, and now Milito's goal is just a confirmation of his idea.

At halftime, Ferguson was afraid of Inter Milan's strong attacking power, and did not immediately replace Park Ji-sung and replaced Nani, but he didn't expect to keep it, and was torn open by Gao Xiaodong's weird outside instep, and Milito scored with one kick.

Ferguson was shocked, scared and anxious, but after all, he is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he once beat Bayern in stoppage time in the Champions League final.

If Manchester United can patiently organize a counterattack after falling behind by one goal, then now Manchester United must attack against time.

"Giggs, Berbatov, ready to play. ”

Ferguson called in a full-back and a centre-forward, explained the tactics to them, and asked them to warm up and get ready for the game.

Five minutes later, Ryan Giggs and Dimitar Berbatov came on at the same time, replacing Park Ji-sung and Fletcher.

Manchester United began to step up their attack.

Berbatov, nicknamed the dashing brother, is a master who would rather walk and lose the ball, never run wildly and mess up his head, he shoots skillfully, and often has a genius, but because he is not active enough to force the opponent's back line, he was put on the bench by Ferguson.

Now Manchester United desperately need to score, it doesn't matter whether the defense is good or not, even if Berbatov stands in the box and doesn't come out, as long as he can score, Ferguson will send him on.

The veteran Giggs was able to beat Nani to play, not because Nani was weak, mainly because Nani was too alone, and in the face of Inter Milan's reinforced concrete-like defense, Giggs's wisdom was more effective than Nani's breakthrough.

After Giggs and Berbatov came on the pitch, Manchester United had an extra striker in the middle, flying left and right at the same time, and the attacking power increased greatly, putting a lot of pressure on Inter's defence.

Seeing Manchester United's successive threats, with Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes all getting shots, the Inter fans and players suddenly became nervous.

Jose Mourinho's on-the-spot command was extremely strong and soon discovered the key to United's attacking strength, which was the tandem action of Paul Scholes and the attacking role of Wayne Rooney.

Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov forced Inter's defence to close in the middle, while Scholes fed the ball into Inter's weakest defence.

Although Stankovic and Cambiaso took turns to guard Scholes, because of Rooney's strong individual ability, Stankovic and Cambiaso had to help defend Rooney, and it was difficult to focus all their energy on Scholes.

After Mourinho found the crux of the problem, he immediately made substitution adjustments.

Sneijder was replaced on the field, he replaced Pandev, Gao Xiaodong retreated to the back to mark Scholes, Sneijder played the front midfield, and Inter Milan's formation also became 4312.

Gao Xiaodong specifically targeted Scholes, and Scholes was immediately frozen, not only the tandem effect was lost, but even the forward grab point and long shot were lost.

Without Scholes's tandem, United's attacks on the left and right flanks were blocked and could only be transferred to the back or defenders to the other side, and by the time they had moved, Inter had already closed the holes in the defence.

Mourinho's substitutions were very targeted and effective, directly weakening Manchester United's attack by three percent.

The offense was contained, Ferguson was very anxious on the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do, this was already the strongest lineup he could put out, plus the strikers were desperate, but the attack power could not be improved much, and it was not that time yet.

Gao Xiaodong retreated to play the back midfield, and did not give up the attack, when he was without the ball, he immediately began to organize the attack, transported the ball to the front, and quickly stepped forward to assist.

In the 65th minute of the game, Rooney broke through with the ball and was stealed by Samuel, who passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong as soon as possible.

When Samuel passed, Scholes was not far from Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong wanted to play a quick counterattack, he had to quickly pass the ball to the frontcourt, but Gao Xiaodong received the ball sideways, and he couldn't see the situation in the front court, and only by picking out the ball could he find more passing points.

But Scholes will certainly take a tactical foul to prevent Gao Xiaodong from fighting back.

It's not difficult for Gao Xiaodong to get rid of Scholes, it's too difficult to keep Scholes from fouling.

Gao Xiaodong was cunning, he guessed that Scholes might stop him with a foul, and when the ball passed, he stopped the ball behind Stankovic, bypassed Stankovic himself, and used Stankovic to make a basketball pick-and-roll.

Scholes quickly rushed over to steal when Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball, and was ready to foul if he couldn't grab it, he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to use Stankovic as a blocker, he couldn't brake the car, and hit Stankovic head-on.

Gao Xiaodong got rid of Scholes, Sneijder also happened to come back to answer, Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to Sneijder, and he quickly stepped forward.

Sneijder didn't stick to the ball, he didn't even turn around, he knocked his heel, and passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong at the first time.

It was a very beautiful pass, but Gao Xiaodong didn't have time to praise it, he had to launch a counterattack as quickly as possible to seal the victory as soon as possible.

After Ferguson replaced Fletcher, Manchester United's defensive midfielder was left with Carrick, and after Gao Xiaodong received Sneijder's backheel pass, Inter's front court immediately formed a three-on-three situation: Gao Xiaodong, Eto'o, Milito vs. Carrick Ferdinand and Vidic.
