In the opening period, Manchester United and Inter Milan both tentatively attacked to see if they could steal one, but neither could do so.

Then the two teams invariably gave up the full-court pressing, and the opponent fought for the midfield, and both sides also created some chances, Inter Milan was more threatening, that is because McConn is better than Valencia's shooting, in fact, the two sides are still evenly matched.

If you want to break the stalemate, many times you have to look at the flash of inspiration of the star or the mistake of the opponent.

In Manchester United and Inter Milan, it was Rooney and Gao Xiaodong who could break the balance, but the two of them were the most tightly defended by each other in the game.

This made Rooney very anxious, and after twenty minutes he began to retreat to receive the ball, intending to run up to attack Inter's backline, but Inter Milan's Eto'o and Pandev defended actively, McCone and Zanetti gradually found a defensive feeling on the two wings, Valencia and Park Ji-sung had almost no chance to cross on the wing, and Rooney could only retreat as a fulcrum to catch the ball, and nothing else could be done.

Inter Milan strangled Manchester United's two wings, but their own side attack also lost most of it, in the face of Valencia's speed threat, Zanetti easily did not dare to assist, McCone assisted very actively, but Ferguson sent Park Ji-sung and Evra on his left side, under the defense of these two, McCann's offensive threat on the side is at most fifty percent of the usual.

Inter Milan and Manchester United's ability to control the ball and pass is not strong, in fact, they both pay attention to the side attack, and now the side restricts each other, and the focus of the attack can only be shifted to the middle.

Manchester United's main playmaker in the midfield is Scholes, Carrick can output a long pass in the backfield, and can also go forward to the goal and grab points, Fletcher is mainly responsible for the defense of the midfield, such a midfield combination plus Rooney who plays as a striker, the impact is enough, but it needs space.

Mourinho saw this, the distance between the three lines was maintained very well, and the return defense of the lost ball was also very fast, especially Gao Xiaodong and Eto'o, although these two are the core of the attack, but the return defense is faster than Carrick and Fletcher's forward insertion, Manchester United rarely has the opportunity to form a numerical advantage in the middle, and even the balance of power cannot be done.

Inter Milan's attack in the middle is actually more technical than Manchester United, Gao Xiaodong is in the middle, Eto'o from Barcelona and former Yugoslavia player Pandev are on both sides, and there is also Milito of South America Argentina in front, such an attacking combination can play a beautiful offensive coordination as long as the foot is smooth, now all they need is patience, and Gao Xiaodong is just the kind of super precocious player, he is not in a hurry in the face of the stalemate, constantly dispatching and organizing in the midfield, waiting for the opportunity to give Manchester United a fatal blow.

In the 30th minute of the game, McConn's cross was grabbed by goalkeeper Van der Sar, he quickly threw it to Carrick, Carrick received the ball and turned around with a long pass, all in one go, Gao Xiaodong saw that it was too late to press, and immediately turned around and ran back.

Rooney battled for the top, but Lucio was very aggressive, rushing up to push Rooney and head the ball out.

The ball was picked up by Park Ji-sung, who took a few steps forward and immediately crossed the ball to Scholes.

Scholes saw that Inter's two midfielders were closing down the middle, and he didn't have a chance to penetrate, so he gave up on stopping the ball and volleyed straight into it.

Paul Scholes is not tall, but he has a hard toe and a strong long-range shooting ability, and it was he who eliminated Barcelona with a long-range shot in the Champions League that won the Champions League.

However, Scholes's long-range shot was not good enough, and Cesar flew to the side of the ball.

Zanetti quickly went over to get the ball, and Valencia relied on his speed to rush over and steal when the chances were low.

An old demon like Zanetti has a lot of experience, and it is too easy to deal with a stunned young man like Valencia, and he slammed the ball to the bottom line, and shook Valencia, who couldn't hold his feet.

It was a good opportunity to counter-attack, and Zanetti spun around and immediately cut forward quickly down the wing.

Paul Scholes immediately flanked for Alex Ferguson, while Fletcher and Michael Carrick dropped back quickly to protect their defence.

Zanetti wanted to hit Gary Neville in front of Pandev, but Valencia was really fast, and Zanetti chased back just after half-time.

Zanetti observed the front court and saw that Carrick and Fletcher were not fully in place, so he passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, who quickly stepped forward, and stood on the side to answer.

Zanetti passed a little late, Carrick was already in place when Gao Xiaodong received the ball, and Fletcher came over, facing such a double defense, Gao Xiaodong and Milito couldn't penetrate it.

Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly, gave up the fast attack, passed the ball back to Cambiaso, and slowly organized the attack.

Mourinho on the sidelines saw that all the Manchester United players returned to their own half, pressing the Inter Milan players, and knew that the opportunity to counterattack was lost, so he quickly ran to the sideline and shouted at Zanetti: "Less dribbling!

Zanetti waved his hand apologetically at Mourinho, he realized that he had just made the wrong choice, today is his 700th game, he is a little greedy, if he gives Gao Xiaodong early, there will definitely be more changes.

In the face of Manchester United, who was fully defending, Gao Xiaodong was not in a hurry, constantly passing the ball back to the side, mobilizing Manchester United's troops, and waiting for Manchester United to make mistakes.

Manchester United have a lot of experience in the tournament, they were tight defensively, and did not give Inter Milan a chance, but after Inter Milan passed the ball continuously, their defenders also pressed near the center circle, and Lucio saw the opportunity to suddenly dribble forward and disrupt the United defence.

Scholes came over to defend Lucio, but left Stankovic free.

Stankovic originally played as a forward midfielder, and then as he got older, he played further and further back, and finally became a back midfielder, but he still had the awareness to attack, and when he saw the opportunity coming, he immediately quickly inserted into the penalty area.

Lucio passed the ball to Stankovic, and because Stankovic's long-range shot was strong, Fletcher could only block Stankovic, thus emptying Gao Xiaodong again.

Seeing Stankovic cut forward, Milito ran to the ribs to open up space for Stankovic, while Samuel Eto'o was moving towards the box, looking for a shot.

Gao Xiaodong was worried that Stankovic would shoot casually and shouted at him to pass back, but Gao Xiaodong was behind, and Stankovic couldn't hear or see it at all.

However, Stankovic could see Eto'o and Milito, especially Eto'o, who was cutting in, raising his hand to ask for the ball in front of Stankovic, who immediately slashed the ball over.

The United fans in the stands exclaimed that it would be dangerous to pass the ball, and Samuel Eto'o could take the ball and shoot from a tight angle.

Fletcher was a step slower and couldn't make a stop, but United centre-back Nemanja Vidic had anticipated Stankovic's intentions and fell to the ground to intercept the ball and break it off.

At this moment, the midfield is in chaos, densely populated, Vidic has not yet gotten up to get the ball, Gao Xiaodong rushed to the horse, Vidic was in a hurry, swept his legs, and wanted to kick the ball aside, but if he couldn't sweep the ball, he would sweep Gao Xiaodong down.

Gao Xiaodong took a step faster, he rubbed the ball, jumped, and even crossed Vidic with the ball.

When Nemanjac cleared the siege, Manchester United was about to cheer, but before the cheers could be released, Gao Xiaodong snatched the ball again.

At this time, there were no defenders in front of Gao Xiaodong, only the penalty area and the goalkeeper.

Manchester United fans' faces turned pale, and many covered their eyes and didn't dare to look at it.

When the ball fell, it was very close to Gao Xiaodong's body, and it was not easy to shoot, but at the moment there were too many people inside and outside the penalty area, and there was no time to adjust for 1 second.

This time Manchester United's penalty area was too chaotic, Van der Sar didn't need to grab the ball but couldn't tell where the ball would run until Gao Xiaodong got the ball, Van der Sar hurriedly ran to the right side of the goal.

When Gao Xiaodong got up, Van der Sar had already sealed it to the bottom right corner, but the ball was very fast, and Van der Sar's hit was between Van der Sar's foot and the goal post, and he couldn't fall to the ground at all, and Van der Sar could only stretch out his foot to block.

Van der Sar was able to block the ball if it rolled normally, but the turf was trampled so unevenly that the ball bounced off the ground during the roll, and the ball flew right off Van der Sar's instep into the net.

1:0

Gao Xiaodong sealed his throat with a sword and opened the scoring for Inter Milan.

Van der Sar was dumbfounded, and sat down on the ground in despair and despair.

The time from the ball leaving his feet to entering the net was extremely short, but Gao Xiaodong seemed to have waited for a long, long time, seeing the ball rolling in from Van der Sar's instep, Gao Xiaodong excitedly lifted his jersey and ran to the stands.
