Chapter 937 - Draw with a supplementary shot

Fifteen minutes later, when Valencia stepped onto the lawn at Old Trafford, the crowd erupted in applause.

After six months of hard and boring recovery from a broken leg, Ecuadorian winger Valencia is finally back on the pitch.

At a time when Manchester United was hit by a massive injury wave, Valencia's comeback was a relief in disguise.

Valencia came on to replace Michael Carrick as a wing-back, Hernandez also came to the wing, Rooney was in the middle as a meat shield, and Manchester United's formation became 433.

After the start of the second half, the focus was on Valencia, whether it was Manchester United fans or Inter fans, they wanted to see how Valencia recovered after breaking his leg, or if it was not the speedy wing striker of the year.

Valencia obviously understands the expectations of the fans, but after the big injury, Valencia played a lot more cautiously, when Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to him, Valencia did not stop the ball, and directly returned to the fullback Rafael who followed up, wanting to run behind the Inter defender and play a reverse cut with Rafael.

Inter defender Zivo knew that Valencia was recovering from a major injury and intended to intimidate Valencia, and when Valencia returned the pass, he kicked Valencia directly from behind and knocked Valencia to the ground.

The referee also knew that Valencia had broken his leg and could not see Zivo's behavior, so he awarded Zivo a foul and awarded United a free-kick.

Gao Xiaodong gave Valencia a look when he came over to take a free kick, and Valencia understood it and ran quickly to the bottom line.

Gao Xiaodong ran over and passed the ball behind Zivo with one kick.

Valencia's pace is the highest in the Premier League, and he started early, and the aging Zivo simply couldn't keep up.

Manchester United players all know that Valencia is not good at cutting inside, and when Valencia caught up with the ball near the baseline, Gao Xiaodong, Paul Scholes and Hernandez had already rushed to the penalty area to outflank the shot.

Valencia sent a half-high ball into the box and found Wayne Rooney in the middle.

Valencia's cross was still very thoughtful, and the players who outflanked Manchester United in the middle were not very tall, and his pass of this half-high ball made Inter's defenders very uncomfortable.

Ranocchia didn't touch the ball in front of the goal, Rooney in the middle also leaked the ball with a header, and Hernandez flew up to kick the ball into the back corner of the goal, but the ball hit the side-netting.

Manchester United were unable to find the back of the net this time, but Valencia's wide assault made everyone excited, because the original high-speed Valencia was back.

After Valencia came on the pitch, there was a surprise attack on the side by him and Rooney, one fast and the other strong, which brought a great threat to Inter Milan's wing defense.

Inter Milan split their forces on the flanks and United's central players finally got the space they didn't have in the first half.

In the 55th minute of the game, Rooney broke through on the side and was trapped, he protected the ball and passed to Gao Xiaodong in the middle, Gao Xiaodong saw that Inter was empty in the middle, and Mota was left alone in the back, and he quickly broke through with the ball.

Gao Xiaodong's long-range shot was full of power, and Mota didn't dare to go too far from Gao Xiaodong when he retreated, ready to block Gao Xiaodong's shot at any time.

Gao Xiaodong is a cunning person, and he can see Mota's thoughts at a glance, and after he dribbles the ball to the thirty-meter area, he suddenly makes a move to raise his leg and shoot.

The more familiar Mota is with Gao Xiaodong, the more he knows that Gao Xiaodong's long-range shots are powerful, Gao Xiaodong makes a shooting action, whether it is true or not, he has to block it, and he must not let Gao Xiaodong shoot casually.

Mota hurriedly stretched out his foot to block, but Gao Xiaodong flicked the ball, changed direction and shook Mota away, and quickly broke forward.

Mota was passed by in one step, and at Gao Xiaodong's speed, it was absolutely impossible for Mota to chase it back.

Mota also understood this, he was prepared in advance, and when Gao Xiaodong changed direction, he reached out to grab Gao Xiaodong's jersey.

When Gao Xiaodong accelerated forward, Mota hurriedly grabbed Gao Xiaodong's jersey and pulled it back, but Mota didn't expect that Gao Xiaodong's jersey was a special material, which was particularly slippery, and Gao Xiaodong's sprint power was also great, Mota didn't pull it, Gao Xiaodong shook him off and rushed to the two defenders.

Hernandez, who plays as a pseudo-center, is very smart, and when he saw his boss plugging in with the ball, he immediately ran to the ribs and took away defender Ranocchia for Gao Xiaodong to open up space.

Inter's last defender, Lucio, and Gao Xiaodong have been teammates for a year, and they know Gao Xiaodong well, he faced Gao Xiaodong alone, and he didn't dare to make a move easily, so he could only fight and retreat, waiting for his teammates to support.

Lucio is the world's top central defender, even if he is old, Gao Xiaodong does not dare to shoot or break through easily, he took two steps forward, and found Scholes running from one side from the super glasses, Gao Xiaodong flicked the ball, quickly changed direction, and slammed into the penalty area.

Lucio saw Gao Xiaodong running towards the penalty area, and he also followed Gao Xiaodong towards the penalty area as fast as possible, but he didn't see Gao Xiaodong dial the ball and didn't touch the ball, but left the ball in place and just ran to the penalty area.

Both the offensive and defensive sides were deceived by Gao Xiaodong, seeing Gao Xiaodong change direction towards the line he was running, Scholes also deliberately slowed down, but Scholes immediately saw the ball in front of him, he was overjoyed, quickly followed with two quick steps, and pumped the ball towards the goal with a positive instep.

Lucio saw that there was no ball at Gao Xiaodong's feet, and it was too late to stop and intercept Scholes.

The ball flew towards the goal against Gao Xiaodong's body.

Gao Xiaodong saw the ball flying to the right side of the goal, and he was very alert and moved two steps to the right.

These two steps of Gao Xiaodong's movement are very crucial, goalkeeper Cesar pounced the ball to the side with both hands, the ball flew right in front of Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong pushed the ball with his arch and accurately pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal.

2:2

Gao Xiaodong scored a supplementary shot to chase the score to 2:2, and Manchester United led Inter Milan 4:3 on aggregate.

After the goal, Gao Xiaodong no longer suppressed himself, he covered his ears with his hands, and ran to the stands of Manchester United fans, but Gao Xiaodong deliberately made a corner, ran past Sneijder, and winked at Sneijder.

The goal was sprinkled with salt and the whole Old Trafford stadium was boiling.

"Good shot!"

"The cooperation just now is so beautiful!"

"Gao Xiaodong is too thief to keep the ball!"

"Scholes's shooting power is a little smaller, and if he changes to a high winter shot, he will go straight in!"

"This ball is so important!"

"But we have to keep scoring goals to make sure we qualify!"

……

Manchester United fans cheered and waved at Gao Xiaodong who ran over, saying words of praise that Gao Xiaodong could not have heard.

Compared to the first goal, it was too crucial and if Inter scored first and then defended it, United would be in danger.

In addition to being important, this is also very beautiful, the ball that Gao Xiaodong left for Scholes is very imaginative, and he deceived the world's top central defender Lucio, especially the move before the final shot, which is completely the striker's sense of smell, and if he changes a pure midfielder, the possibility of this goal is not very likely.

Ferguson showed composure in the dressing room, in fact, his heart has been hanging, Inter Milan is the defending champion, and the combat effectiveness shown by the away team also faintly sees the style of the defending champion, in case Inter Milan really scores another goal, Manchester United needs to score two more goals, and there is a high probability that it will be a shocking upset.

However, Gao Xiaodong's goal made Ferguson feel a little relieved, although Inter scored another goal and could eliminate Manchester United with more away goals, but the initiative returned to Manchester United after all.

Leonardo's body is trembling, it's Gao Xiaodong again, his tactics have almost succeeded, but Gao Xiaodong saved Manchester United again, just like Gao Xiaodong saved Inter Milan last season, Leonardo feels that Gao Xiaodong is simply his hit star.

Moratti's face in the VIP box changed greatly, he seemed to see Inter again, Gao Xiaodong who blocked the killer and killed the demon, although Inter Milan still has a chance, but Moratti has lost confidence in the team, and he has a hunch that Gao Xiaodong may also score goals and completely kill Inter.
