………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Amid the boos of the home fans, Manchester United desperately charged towards the Arsenal goal.
Not every time their attacks have been able to threaten Almunia's goal. If it weren't for the excellent performance of goalkeeper Almunia, Arsenal would have repeated the heavy defeat in the first leg on the road.
In the 52nd minute, Park Ji-sung shared the ball in the midfield, Ronaldo dribbled horizontally in front of the penalty area and shot low with his left foot, Almunia fell to the ground to save the ball, and then Anderson hung the ball from the right side, and Almunia lifted the ball out of the bottom line.
After withstanding United's onslaught at the start of the second half, perhaps because United were more satisfied with the current scoreline, or perhaps they wanted to save their strength for the game four days later, United clearly slowed down the tempo of their attack.
The Arsenal players, on the other hand, saw their chances. Although they no longer have the delusion of reversing Manchester United's promotion, it would be good to be able to move back to one city and save some face, so they stepped up their attack.
The effect was noticeable, and in the period that followed, Arsenal frequently threatened the United goal.
In the 54th minute, Fletcher fouled Sagna at the back, and Van Persie's free kick from the right hung directly into the far corner, but unfortunately the ball was slightly off.
In the 60th minute, Nasri's powerful shot was blocked.
However, I don't know if Arsenal is really not treated by God, just when their attack has improved and they see an opportunity to save a little face, they are hit hard.
When Van der Sar blocked Nasri's powerful shot and Vidic was about to kick the ball straight away, he caught a glimpse of Carrick's gesture to him.
He took a look at the situation around Carrick, because Carrick had withdrawn to the wing, so there were no Arsenal players around him for the time being, and it was an opportunity to get the ball......
So he passed the ball over.
But just as he was passing the ball out, he saw Arsenal midfielder Eboue rushing towards Carrick. But when he observed, he was still far away!
This kid is like a panther lying in ambush in the grass, carefully hiding his body, and then waiting for the right time, and then jumping up and pounced on the prey!
Clearly, Carrick is his prey!
The point was that Carrick, who had his back to him, couldn't see him at all, and couldn't possibly know that there was a murderous panther behind him that had pounced on him.
Vidic wanted to remind Carrick that the football had already arrived in Carrick's way of reaching him as soon as his mouth opened.
So he quickly set up his defensive stance and prepared for this counter-attack from Arsenal.
But at this moment, he saw Carrick pick up his foot against the football and knock it horizontally to Anderson, and at the same time he quickly turned around, as if he had an eye in the back of his head, and bypassed Eboue!
And when he turned around, Eboue was still a little dazed, he didn't expect such a sudden attack to come to naught!
Seeing this, Vidic exclaimed excitedly in his heart: Good job, Michael!
Anderson didn't stop the ball, but instead passed the ball from Carrick diagonally to the front, aiming for Carrick, who had already turned and rushed up.
Carrick just used a one-two-one-one to get around Eboue.
Seeing Carrick shake off the defenders, the rest of the United players knew what they were supposed to do.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Park Ji-sung, Fletcher and Wayne Rooney moved quickly, some running forward, others moving closer to Carrick, ready to pick him up.
Manchester United's attacking system, which suddenly worked after a quiet half of the game, was not jerky at all and lubricated fluidly.
And the core component of this system is naturally Carrick who holds the ball. After receiving the ball, he didn't even raise his head to observe, and then raised his foot again to make a long pass.
The football flew directly to the feet of Park Ji-sung on the other side.
As soon as he finished passing, Walket was in front of him, and Arsenal's players were really quick to defend, and if Carrick stopped the ball to watch, or took another step, Walcott would have been blocked......
But Carrick seemed to know this in advance, and perfectly avoided this risk.
Carrick, who finished passing the ball, did not stay where he was and accelerated to run forward.
Manchester United's counter-attack continues!
When Park Ji-sung received the ball, there were no Arsenal players around him, he took two steps forward, and the Arsenal players immediately rushed towards him.
Park Ji-sung passed the football to Rooney, who retreated to pick him up.
And by the time Rooney received the ball, Carrick had already run up.
So Rooney, who had his back to the attack, didn't have to turn around and force a breakthrough, but passed the football back to Carrick.
Manchester United's counterattack played quickly, and the center circle was already passed between three passes and two downs, and the Arsenal players were still rushing back to defend and organize the defense at this time.
Alexander Song pounced on Michael Carrick in the hope of putting an end to United's counter-attack.
But how could Carrick get him his wish? he had already seen the vacancy before receiving the ball, and now all he had to do was pass the ball in that direction.
So he picked up his right leg and sent a straight thrust forward. As soon as he passed the football, he jumped up and took advantage of the situation to avoid Song's tackle.
Many people who watched this scene sweated for Carrick in front of the TV.
If Carrick had passed the ball a second later, Alexander Song would have tackled him!
Carrick dodged Song's tackle, which was not the point of this attack, the point was where did the football that was passed by Carrick go?
Everyone's eyes turned to the front with the TV camera, and then they saw Ronaldo receive the football in a huge gap!
At this time, he was less than five meters from the penalty area, and in front of him, there was only Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia. Arsenal centre-back Jourou, who was closest to him, was also 10 metres away.
This is simply a great opportunity!
Amid the overwhelming boos of the Arsenal fans, the Portuguese winger drove the ball into the box!
Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia dropped the ball and rushed towards Cristiano Ronaldo. And Julu also turned and pounced on the Portuguese. The three of them seemed to converge at some point in the restricted area.
But Ronaldo didn't want to do that. He had just entered the box when he suddenly got up and shot at goal.
Not a powerful volley, but a lob shot!
The ball went over the head of the attacking goalkeeper Almunia and, under the watchful eye of Jurou, crashed into the Arsenal goal!
Ronaldo scored twice in this game, and the score of this game became 3:0!
After the goal, Ronaldo waved his arms excitedly against the boos of the Emirates Stadium.
Carrick then joined Park Ji-sung, Rooney and other team-mates running up to celebrate the goal with him.
Behind the running Manchester United players are the battered Arsenal players.
Now they are down 0:3 at home, and the aggregate score of the two legs has reached a terrifying 0:8.
At this time, not to mention reversing Manchester United, it is to score a face-saving goal, which has become a luxury for Arsenal, because they have completely lost the courage to continue attacking. Because the three goals scored by Manchester United in this game were basically because they attacked with all their might, and then they were counterattacked by Manchester United to get a chance.
By this time, Arsenal's players had lost confidence, and even their worldview had been turned upside down to a certain extent, and they began to doubt their own lives.
Manchester United, who are completely locked in the game, have begun to make substitutions and reserve strength for the next games.
In the 63rd minute, Ryan Giggs came on to replace Anderson. Arsenal made a substitution at the same time, with Bendtner coming on for Theo Walcott.
In the 64th minute, Van Persie shot with his left foot in front of the penalty area, and Van der Sar saved the ball sideways.
After Van Persie's shot, Ferguson continued to make substitutions and used up his two cards at once: Rafael for Evra and Berbatov for Rooney.
At this point, Ferguson no longer believed his team would be reversed, and there was no need for him to stay behind.
In the last 20 minutes, the Arsenal players played more and more impatiently, and they were getting closer and closer to being eliminated.
Manchester United, on the other hand, reassuringly contracted their defense to play counter-attacks, and even if the counter-attack could not threaten Arsenal's goal, it could still consume some time.
Amid the boos of the home fans, the minutes and seconds of the game passed.
Even though Arsene Wenger used up all his substitutions, he was unable to turn the tide and change the outcome.
When referee Rossetti blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score of the game was fixed at 0:3, with the home team Arsenal in front.
The total score of this round of semifinals was fixed at 8:0, which almost refreshed the largest score of the Champions League knockout round set by Bayern against Sporting Lisbon in the quarterfinals of this Champions League not long ago.
In the second leg of the 2008-09 Champions League quarter-finals, Bayern hosted Sporting Lisbon and won 7-1, and the score of 12-1 over the two legs also set a record for the largest score in two legs in the knockout stage of the Champions League.
Although the score of that knockout match was bigger, Sporting Lisbon scored a goal after all, and was not shaved head. Moreover, Sporting Lisbon is not a strong team, and it is completely different from Arsenal.
If you want to say miserable, I am afraid that only four years later, in the semi-finals of the Champions League, Barcelona, who were eliminated by Bayern Munich 7-0 in two legs, can compete with Arsenal.
Poor Arsenal, if it weren't for Zeng Cheng's appearance, although they would have been eliminated this time, it would certainly not be so miserable.
But there are no ifs for everything.
Manchester United, who eliminated Arsenal by a big score, reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years, and saw the hope of defending the Champions League for the first time since the Champions League was restructured. Because the form of Manchester United is so good now, they are soaring on all fronts, and they have no opponents at all.
Although the results of the other semi-final are not known until tomorrow, the major European bookmakers have also lowered the odds for Manchester United to win the title after the game. Because in their opinion, neither the Blues Chelsea nor the red and blue team Barcelona are powerless to stop Manchester United from defending their title.
Today's Manchester United players are not at all like earthlings. (To be continued.) )
