Gao Xiaodong's goal allowed Manchester United to snatch the initiative of promotion into their own hands again, but Inter Milan's hopes of promotion are no less than Manchester United's.

The current score of this game is 2:2 and the aggregate score is 4:3, and as long as Inter Milan score another goal, they can eliminate Manchester United by virtue of away goals.

In other words, Gao Xiaodong's goal brought Manchester United closer to promotion, but it did not create too much trouble for Inter Milan's promotion, Gao Xiaodong did not score, Inter Milan wanted to score a goal if he wanted to advance, Gao Xiaodong scored, Inter Milan must also score 1 goal if he wants to advance.

There was not much time and he had to score, Leonardo didn't dare to continue to play with his Christmas tree formation, he made substitution adjustments, Stankovic went off, the young player Coutinho came on, and the formation became 4231.

With hope comes fighting spirit, and after the game started again, Inter Milan, who need to score goals to advance, have become more aggressive and press forward.

Manchester United have an aggregate lead, but this lead is too small, not even a goal, as long as Inter Milan scores, they will be eliminated, so Manchester United can't hold on, they also have to attack and score more goals to ensure progress.

Both teams wanted to attack, and the pace of the game changed immediately, and if it was a board in front, it was now an allegro.

It was Manchester United who were the first to create a chance on goal.

In the 61st minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong forced a breakthrough with the ball, shook Cambiaso and split the ball to the side, Valencia broke through Zivo's cross on the side, Hernandez missed the ball when he grabbed the point, Rooney shot at a small angle at the back point, and the ball slid out.

Then Inter goalkeeper Cesar made a mistake with a big kick, but Gao Xiaodong and Rooney cooperated on the right side of the penalty area, and then Rooney crossed, but the power of Hernandez's push was too small, and it was saved by goalkeeper Cesar, and defender Lucio cleared it with a big foot.

However, Inter Milan is no longer passively beaten, and after replacing Coutinho, Inter Milan has four attackers in front, and their high pressing makes it difficult for United to play the ball.

In the 67th minute of the game, McCone crossed from the right, Smaling made a mistake in clearing the siege and kicked it directly to Coutinho, who held the ball and shook it past Fletcher, and shot directly at the goal, the ball bypassed Van der Sar's ten fingers and flew out of the bottom line by grazing the post.

Coutinho's shot is not a small threat, but his status in Inter Milan is very low, Eto'o and Sneijder are both dissatisfied with his lack of passing, direct shooting, Eto'o just spread his hands and signaled to me to be better, and Sneijder said directly to Coutinho's face, "You know that you shoot blindly!

After being criticized by the team's bosses, Coutinho didn't dare to shoot easily when he broke through with the ball again.

In the 70th minute of the game, Sneijder sent an overhead pick-up pass, Pandev stopped the ball on his chest in the middle and turned and volleyed, the ball was punched by goalkeeper Van der Sar, Scholes and Sneijder fought for the landing point, the ball flew to the side and was grabbed by Coutinho.

Coutinho took two steps forward, didn't dare to break forward and saw Eto'o asking for the ball, and passed directly to Eto'o.

Samuel Eto'o took advantage of the chaos in the United penalty area and hoisted the ball to the right side of the goal to find McCain, who cut into the box and volleyed hard, but the ball flew off the crossbar.

The game played 75 minutes, and the score of 2:2 on the field was still not rewritten, but the players of Manchester United and Inter Milan became cautious and did not dare to attack as fiercely as before.

At this point in time, no matter who scores, it is possible to be the final winner, but the side that concedes the goal can also become the final loser, so it can be said that this is the time when no one can afford to concede the ball.

At the beginning of the second half, Ferguson and Leonardo were relatively calm, and now the two are also nervous, both come to the sidelines to point fingers and shout loudly, every mistake of the players will cause them to roar loudly, and every time the opponent is missed by the referee, they will also make exaggerated body posture complaints.

It's no wonder that Ferguson and Leonardo are nervous, for giants like Inter Milan and Manchester United, the league is just a guarantee, the Champions League is the key, and whoever falls in the round of 16, even if the league wins, it cannot be considered a success.

It may be that the first leg was too easy in Meazza and the second leg in Old Trafford, Manchester United's players were a little prepared for the difficulties of the game, but they didn't expect to play 75 minutes before they could seal the win, and the situation was even more dangerous than after the first leg.

Not only are the coaches nervous, but the players on both sides are also nervous, and it was a reunion of opponents in last season's final, and United wanted revenge, very eager to score another goal to seal the win, but also afraid of being counter-attacked by Inter.

This kind of psychology of wanting to win and being afraid of losing makes some Inter players a little timid when they play, especially the defenders, who dare not insert when attacking, even if they do, they dare not insert too deeply, once they lose the ball, they do not dare to surround on the spot, only let the striker harass them, and the defender immediately runs back to defend.

Some people want to attack, some people want to defend, this situation is the most dangerous, because the players are not unified in their thinking, they can't play together, and they can't form a tacit understanding, which is very detrimental to both offense and defense.

Ferguson, who has a lot of coaching experience, quickly saw the problem, and seeing that the clock was approaching 80 minutes, Ferguson warmed up O'Shea and was ready to play, and then waved his players to shrink and strengthen the defense, ready to play Inter's counter-attack.

That's where Ferguson excels, in fact, at this time, choosing to attack and choosing to defend are the same, both have risks, but the biggest risk is to do nothing. Ferguson had no problem opting to defend and counter-attack while leading up.

However, the charm of football is that it is full of surprises.

In the 80th minute of the game, Sneijder sent a long pass near the center circle to find striker Samuel Eto'o.

Samuel Eto'o's header was mediocre and Smalling made a bold step up and headed it over to his team-mate Fletcher.

Fletcher chested the ball and tried to control it, but he didn't expect Inter teenager Coutinho to run very aggressively after coming on the field, he grabbed the ball before Fletcher stopped the ball, stretched out his foot to steal the ball, and then passed to Eto'o.

Samuel Eto'o didn't expect the ball to come back, and after Smaring's aerial sparring, he rushed forward and was not by his side.

Samuel Eto'o pulled the ball down and pushed it quickly from the ribs into the box.

However, Manchester United's defender Brown is very experienced, he quickly stopped in front of Eto'o, did not give Eto'o a chance to shoot, Eto'o can only dribble laterally, shake Brown, and then look for a chance to shoot.

United's defence is not isolated, it's a system, Brown was shaken off by Samuel Eto'o and added by full-back Patrice Evra.

It was all about hitting more and more, and Eto'o was so experienced that he flicked the ball past Patrice Evra and crossed to Pandev on the right before Smalling came back to defend.

Samuel Eto'o played the ball right to Pandev's left foot.

Pandev is a player with an extremely uneven technique on his left and right feet. In Serie A, defenders don't have to look after Pandev's right foot when defending him, just his left foot. Pandev himself said that he gave his left foot a 9 and a right foot only 0.

In the face of a powerful pass from this angle, Pandev cleverly pushed with his "golden left foot", and the ball flew into the top left corner of the goal against the post, and Inter Milan led Manchester United 3-2 and tied the score at 4-4 on aggregate.

Having scored a goal at an extremely dangerous time, whether in the stands, on the pitch, in the box, in the stadium or in the box, all Manchester United were stunned because the score meant that United would be eliminated if they did not score.

With 10 minutes remaining, United have been pushed to the brink.
