Chapter 370: Ronaldo Fawei
On the afternoon of April 16, Porto was transformed into a football city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The streets are full of fans wearing Porto jerseys and Manchester United jerseys, and fans from all over the world are still flocking to the old town.
The speeches of Cristiano Ronaldo and Alex Ferguson in the morning inspired the self-esteem of the people of Porto, who have always been quiet and civilized, and the Porto fans kept shouting "Kill Manchester United!" and "Kill Cristiano Ronaldo". ”
Manchester United's situation is now precarious, and the mood of Manchester United fans is more radical than Porto's, especially England fans, although Porto have added twice as many security forces as usual, but it is still unable to completely prevent the clashing between fans on both sides.
In reality, there are security guards and police, fans still have conflicts, on the Internet, there is no one to manage, the conflict between Manchester United fans and Porto fans is even more violent, and there are Manchester United fans and Porto fans in almost every forum There is a war of words between Manchester United fans and Porto fans.
Porto fans believe the curse will continue, with United falling under the curse of defending their title and England's winless run at the Stade d'Longs.
Manchester United fans believe that strength is everything, and Manchester United will surely break all the curses and progress to the last four.
The fans were nervous and excited, and the players were no more relaxed than the fans.
In the past two days, Porto has been training in confinement, and even reporters from the "Competition" and "Documentary", which are close to Porto, are not allowed to enter.
Although the Manchester United players seem to be very relaxed, when they were training at the Dragon Stadium, because the Porto fans booed the Manchester United players, interfering with the training of the Manchester United players, making the Manchester United players angry and almost fighting with the Porto players, which also shows that the Manchester United players are actually in a state of anxiety.
At 7:40 p.m., the players from Porto and Manchester United came out of the dressing room.
The 50,000-capacity Dragon Stadium erupted in a tsunami of applause, accompanied by shouts of the names of the Porto players.
At this moment, He Hui, the commentator of Huaguo CCTV Sports Channel, also came to the scene, and when Porto captain Alves and Manchester United captain Vidic exchanged team flags and team emblems, he excitedly introduced the lineups of both sides to fans across the country in the commentary seat.
“…… Porto's starting line-up was like that, with only one change compared to the first leg, captain Alves, who had returned from injury, replacing cameo centre-back Sapuruna.
Due to an injury in the league, Gao Xiaodong was once considered unable to start in the game against Manchester United, and now it seems that Xiaodong is either not seriously injured, or it is a smoke bomb set off by Porto, or Xiaodong is injured on the field.
Manchester United's starting line-up today has changed very much, compared to the first leg, in addition to the return of central defender Rio Ferdinand, Anderson also replaced Paul Scholes to play in midfield, Ryan Giggs also replaced Park Ji-sung, who was abused by Gao Xiaodong in the last game, and Berbatov replaced Fletcher.
Manchester United's starting line-up is: 1-Van der Sar/22-O'Shea, 15-Vidic, 5-Rio Ferdinand, 3-Evra/8-Anderson, 16-Carrick, 11-Giggs/7-Ronaldo, 9-Berbatov, 10-Rooney.
This is a 433 formation, compared to the previous round, Manchester United's starting line-up for this game changed four, which is enough to show that the old man Alex Ferguson is very unhappy with the last game.
Before the game, the South Korean media was still hyping the Asian derby, but unfortunately, the first person in Asia, Park Ji-sung, can only sit on the bench now, although Gao Xiaodong is still a newcomer, but the gap between Xiaodong and Park Ji-sung is not football skills, not qualifications, but talent, compared to the star Fan Gao Xiaodong, Park Ji-sung is more like a blue-collar worker who does dirty work. ”
On the sidelines, Ferguson stared at Gao Xiaodong when he saw Gao Xiaodong playing, and he was secretly glad that he did not relax his defense against Gao Xiaodong because of the rumors that Gao Xiaodong would truce, otherwise the army would really be in chaos.
The referee was Bussaka from Switzerland.
Compared with the referee Plautz in the last game, Busaka coached the 06 World Cup and the 07 League Cup final, his fame and prestige are greater, and the fact that UEFA sent him to enforce the law shows the importance of this game.
At 7:45 a.m., referee Bussaka blew the whistle for the start of the game.
Manchester United were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Porto, and if they want to advance, they must win or draw more than 2:2 to advance.
The dangerous situation for the Reds also forced the Reds to turn back and launch an onslaught into the Porto penalty area after kick-off in the centre circle.
Giggs and Wayne Rooney were successful on the right with their first attack, with Rooney forcing a flank to Fusile, who had to bring Rooney down and referee Busaka awarded a free-kick.
Ryan Giggs crossed the ball into the box and Porto captain Alves, who had returned from injury, pressed hard for the dashing Göbertitar to head the ball out.
At the moment, Manchester United is no less than Porto in the half, but it is Gao Xiaodong and former Porto player Anderson who grab the second place.
Gao Xiaodong and Anderson are wearing a headband on one head, and the other head is tied first, which is very eye-catching, and of course, the duel between the two popular new stars is also very eye-catching.
Although Gao Xiaodong and Anderson are both the same strong, Gao Xiaodong is more cunning and has more strength, when the two grabbed the position, Gao Xiaodong reached out and dragged Anderson, and then ran in front of Anderson, and the header was given to Hulk, who retreated to answer.
Although Porto played in a 433 formation today, today's 433 is the real 451, and only Falcao is really responsible for the task of attacking the city.
After Hulk won the ball, he quickly pressed the flank forward and left-back Evra retreated.
Hulk turned back and forced Evra, but Evra couldn't resist Hulk in strength, so he had to stretch out his foot and trip Hulk.
Referee Busaka awarded a free-kick.
Gao Xiaodong came to take the free kick.
It was a difficult free-kick to attack, with Porto's headers Alves and Rolando both coming into the box to fight for a header.
However, in this position, Gao Xiaodong saw that goalkeeper Van der Sar's main attention was on the player who grabbed the point, and he suddenly pumped the ball directly into the front corner of the goal.
It was a very unexpected shot and it was too late for Van der Sar to save, but the ball hit the side-netting.
Less than three minutes into the game, Porto and Manchester United were each awarded a free-kick, with Porto also having a shot on goal.
Such a-for-tat three-minute battle also made fans and media feel that today's game may not be good.
Goalkeeper Van der Sar serves goal kick.
United were about to pick up the tempo today, and Van der Sar didn't pass to the defenders, he drove the ball straight to the front of his striker Berbatov.
At Manchester United, even goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has a beautiful long pass, and his long pass accurately found the dashing Gobertae.
The dashing brother moved to Manchester United at the last minute in the summer transfer, costing Manchester United 38 million euros.
Facing the ball from the back, the dashing brother showed his superb footwork, with his back to Rolando, Berbatov gently unloaded the ball to his feet, and then turned the ball upside down, and when the upper body was almost held by Rolando, he pulled the ball sideways to the side to find Ronaldo.
With their backs to defenders, they were able to stop, and when such a ball was passed, the Manchester United fans erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Ronaldo did not dare to show weakness, he stopped the ball on the side chest to Anderson, Anderson divided the ball again, and Ronaldo singled out Rodriguez with the ball.
Ronaldo continued to cycle past Rodriguez and only took Sissokoho, but Sissokoho relied on his speed and body, retreated to defend, and waited for Ronaldo to break through.
Ronaldo saw that he couldn't break through Sissokoho, and suddenly dribbled the ball and cut horizontally to the middle.
Sissokoho saw that Ronaldo was still outside the 30-meter area, and felt that there were still two midfielders in the middle, so he didn't follow up.
Unexpectedly, after Ronaldo cut to the middle, he didn't wait for Fernando to intercept him, and suddenly pulled out his foot and shot angrily from 32 meters away from the goal.
It's a powerful cold shot!
The ball flew high off the ground and past the players in the middle, but when it entered the small penalty area, it suddenly fell sharply and went straight to the top left corner of the goal.
Helton didn't expect Ronaldo to shoot from this position, let alone an elevator ball, he flew a little late to make a save, and the ball stuck to his finger in the corner.
1:0
Less than six minutes into the game, Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring for Manchester United and put the aggregate score in the lead.
In an instant, the entire dragon stadium fell silent, falling into a deathly silence.
