『Chapter error, click here to report』
At the start of the second half, United were still actively pressing high, but Inter Milan's formation was somewhat recycled and played very cautiously, and the attacking football that the commentators were expecting did not appear as expected. Even Rico was aggressive in defending back, assisting Cambiaso and McCone in defending Ricardo, often forming a three-man pack, and Ricardo had to reduce his possession and comb the midfield with a single kick.
Manchester United, on the other hand, also reverted to formation after grabbing for six or seven minutes without forming a threat.
Both sides began to emphasize possession, emphasize defense, and play more steadily, and the scenes that make people blood rush are gone.
"This is what I remember from the Champions League final," the commentator joked, "and I thought I was on the wrong pitch in the first half. ”
But from around the 60th minute, the two sides began to attack again.
First of all, Inter Milan kicked off the attack, Rico ran to the left to get the ball, broke through and handed it to Milito, Milito cut into the penalty area with the ball, deducted Ferdinand, and turned the ball back, Rico suddenly shot with a kick, Van der Sar stretched out his arm to hit the ball off the crossbar.
Soon Manchester United returned the color, Nani suddenly cut inside after dribbling the ball on the right side, and took a step sideways to make the ball to Rooney, Rooney toes, Ronaldo started quickly, and successfully got a single chance against offside, but Cesar attacked very timely and blocked Ronaldo's shot angle.
Ronaldo scrambled to his feet, and the ball bounced slightly off the leg of Lucio, who was returning to the defense, and flew off the bottom line by grazing the far post.
"This is Ronaldo's second great opportunity wasted in this game," the commentator said lamentingly, "no matter how great a hero is, he will be defeated by time." Think about when he was young, that amazing explosiveness, that desperate speed, that precise footwork, hey...... After all, it's almost 34 years old. Let's cherish it, the way Ronaldo plays, we won't be able to watch it for long. It may even be the last time he will appear in a Champions League final. ”
Manchester United take a corner.
Lucio made another mistake when he made a mistake and kicked the ball straight to the feet of Ricardo. Ricardo again fired a powerful volley, but this time narrowly missed the ball as it grazed the post and hit the side-netting.
Soon United made a steal in front of the ball and the ball was handed to Nani, who managed to break through Zivo's defence and pass the ball to the back post, where Licardo forced his foot to shoot, but the angle was too small for Cesar to seal the ball.
Due to the high physical consumption of both sides, Ferguson and Mourinho both made their first substitutions.
Stankovic replaces Zivo and Zanetti returns to left-back.
Valencia replaces Nani.
Shortly after the substitution, Manchester United made a steal at the back and Evra launched an attack with a long pass.
Ricardo pulled to the touchline to get the ball, McCone went over to defend, Ricardo suddenly kicked the ball, and then chased the ball along the touchline around McConn.
The ball is divided!
The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly urged to a climax.
It's a race of pure speed! McCone used both hands and feet, trying to slow down Licardo's speed, but Licardo was like lightning, forcibly overtaking, and this scene made the fans blood tremble!
Everyone feels like something is stuck in their throats, and it's uncomfortable to scream without screaming hoarsely!
Ricardo overtook McConn and continued to accelerate inside, and after cutting into the box, he deftly flicked the ball to the baseline to avoid Samuel's top tackle and then passed the ball to the middle.
Rooney's tackle at the front of the post did not touch the football, while Ronaldo, who ran to the back post, lived up to expectations by volleying from about 10 yards from goal, and the ball hit the net hard, sending a burst of white waves.
"Ronaldo Goalllllllllll! In the 68th minute, Manchester United took the lead again! The commentator exclaimed excitedly, "Ronaldo didn't continue to waste chances, his shots were as accurate and consistent as when he was young!" He's still a terrifying doorman! ”
"This goal, Inter Milan did not make a mistake, it was Ricardo who single-handedly tore through Inter's defense, this is the difference in ability!"
"There is not a big difference in the quality of the two teams, let me say that the only difference is that Manchester United have Ricardo and Inter Milan does not! This is a player who can do miracles, a player who can dominate the game! ”
Ferguson cheeringly stood up and applauded and hugged the assistant coach next to him.
Jose Mourinho stood on the sidelines in a rage, his eyes looking around, as if he wanted to find something to vent or call a player over and scold.
But who should I scold?
No one made a mistake just now. Every player gave their best.
can only blame the skills are not as good as others.
The game continued.
Inter Milan, who restarted the kick-off, was a little flustered for a while, and was counterattacked on the spot by Manchester United with successive breaks.
In the 70th minute, Valencia broke through Zanetti's defense on the right and crossed, Rooney nodded the ball in front, and Ricardo, who was following behind, was slightly half a step slower, did not hit, only barely poked the ball with his toes, the football rolled softly towards the goal, and Samuel cleared it on the goal line.
In the 72nd minute, Ricardo retreated to the midfield to get the ball, and suddenly sent a straight kick over the top, Ronaldo caught up with the football on the right side of the penalty area, and changed the line continuously, but it seemed that his knee could not withstand such an impact, and finally he did not try to shake off Lucio again, forced his foot to shoot, and was confiscated by Sasser.
Inter Milan was so passive that Mourinho had to think of other ways to salvage the situation. Balotelli comes on to replace Rico.
Sir Alex Ferguson soon made a change, with Ryan Giggs coming on to replace Ronaldo.
Ronaldo walked off the pitch slowly, and the crowd – Manchester United, neutral Real Madrid and Inter Milan – stood up and applauded.
As we all know, this may well be the last time a generation of football champions will appear on the stage of the Champions League final.
He ended his Champions League journey with a brilliant goal, which was very gratifying.
Ronaldo walked to the sideline and hugged Ferguson.
"Thank you for giving me the chance, sir, for the last time I will appear in the Champions League final." Ronaldo said emotionally.
'No, I should thank you, thank you for the great goal, thank you for putting us ahead. Next, let's watch the other people perform. ”
Other people's performances? Ronaldo's eyes followed the dazzling red number 10, smiling and showing his rabbit teeth. The new ball king is about to ascend the throne.
Giggs came on and appeared as a left winger. Ricardo plays up front and Rooney goes up front.
Ricardo is also physically exerted, and when he comes to the midfield position, he can focus more on playmaking and not often break through with the ball on his own.
And replacing the 37-year-old veteran Ryan Giggs with the 34-year-old veteran Ronaldo is by no means a failure.
Although Ryan Giggs is no longer fast and his physical fitness has declined, he can still contribute a wonderful performance, and even the final word.
