Chapter 479: Do you want surgery?

Licardo's goal was so morale-boosting that the singing in the stands never stopped, and the Real Madrid players played like chickens, and the United couldn't hold their heads up for the rest of the period.

But no matter how high morale is, you can't ignore physical fitness.

As the game entered the final 10 minutes, Manchester United gradually pulled back the deficit as Real Madrid's players ran out of energy.

In the 82nd minute, Manchester United formed a counter-attack, Cristiano Ronaldo drove the ball along the left side and handed the ball to the middle, Rooney took up on the edge of the penalty area and slightly deviated from the goal.

In the 83rd minute, United shifted their attack to the right side, O'Shea crossed from the bottom, and Ricardo returned to tackle and scooped it into the air. Park Ji-sung nodded the ball into the middle, which was not a very threatening ball, but fatally it was Casillas who crashed into Cannavaro as he came out, causing the ball to come out of his hands.

There was chaos in the Real Madrid penalty area, and Rooney picked up a leak and stabbed the goal.

"Rooney Goallllllll!" The commentator shouted, "Wayne Rooney scored a valuable goal for Manchester United!" Although Manchester United are still behind in the scoreline, they now have two away goals! Back at home, they'll have more options! ”

Rooney didn't celebrate, he dodged the hugs of his team-mates and ran into the goalkeeper to scoop up the ball and run back to the centre circle.

He wasn't satisfied, he was still hungry to score.

Ferguson made one final substitution at this point, replacing Park Ji-sung with Tevez and giving it a go in the final minutes.

On Real Madrid's side, Ricardo collided with O'Shea after a tackle, but after O'Shea got up, he couldn't get up, clutching his ankles and burying his face in the turf to gasp heavily.

The team doctor immediately carried him off the pitch and, after a brief examination, signaled to Pellegrini that Ricardo could not continue the game.

Pellegrini did not hesitate and immediately replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy.

In the final moments of the game, he didn't think about defending, but wanted to strengthen the attack and try to score another goal.

The opponent has scored two away goals, and if you only win by one goal, it is too easy to be overturned in the next round.

The two teams battled each other in the final minutes of the game.

In the 87th minute, the energetic Tevez took the ball into the penalty area and shot low, but fortunately Casillas reacted quickly and bent down to hold the ball.

2 minutes later, Tevez broke through with the ball along the right side and quickly crossed, and the unmarked Ronaldo at the back point was very meritorious, and the ball was directly volleyed into the near corner without stopping, and the football flew out of the bottom line on the outside of the post, which scared Real Madrid fans.

Pellegrini paced back and forth anxiously.

In this game, Ronaldo and Licardo were injured, and the losses were so heavy, if you can't win more than two goals, it will be a real loss.

Fortunately, the Real Madrid players are very competitive.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Guti took a free kick. Rio Ferdinand grabbed the spot to head the ball out, but it didn't fly wide and fell crookedly into the box. Marcelo bent his bow and arrow, and without waiting for the ball to land, he directly volleyed with his left foot.

The soccer ball flew halfway through, hit someone who didn't know it, and bounced off. In the confusion, Ruud van Nistelrooy rushed to the ball and fired a blast that sent the ball through the cracks and slammed into the net, sending off a white wave. All Van der Sar can do is turn his head and send.

"Van Nistelrooy Goalllllllll! The Dutch striker is a veritable penalty killer! In the final moments of the game, he extended the lead for Real Madrid again! Now the score is 4:2, and Real Madrid has a two-goal lead, which is very beneficial to them! In the next round, they also have a higher margin for error! ”

After Manchester United restarted, the game was over quickly.

The home team's dressing room is naturally full of laughter, and in Manchester United's dressing room, I am afraid that Sir Alex Ferguson will roar again.

In his post-match press conference, Manuel Pellegrini did not show the joy of a winner. He's worried about injuries to Ronaldo and Ricardo. 'The lads played well, we won the game, but we also lost a lot. I hope Ronaldo and Ricardo recover as soon as possible, they are indispensable if the team wants to compete for the title. ”

'Man Utd created a lot of threats today, Cristiano. Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney are the best players in the world and we had some problems marking them. ”

'In the next leg, we have to concentrate and not make the same mistakes as we made today. Manchester United are a great opponent and we have to be careful. ”

Ferguson's mouth is full of bitterness, but he has to show his confidence in front of the media.

"Real Madrid are one of the best clubs in the world and I'm not surprised to play against them to achieve such a result. This is the Bernabeu, and I don't think we need to be downcast. The lads were doing well, but Nemanja Vidic disrupted our deployment and caused confusion at the back, otherwise we wouldn't have conceded four goals. ”

'It's not the end of the world, we have two away goals and we just need a 2-0 or 3-1 win at home to get through. Frankly, I think we have a lot of hope of qualifying. ”

'Cristiano and Wayne Rooney are the pillars of the team and they deserve their shirts. They understood what they were fighting for, they fought until the last minute and I'm so proud of them. If they can maintain that performance, we will win the game when we come back home. ”

Of course, the most concerned questions about the injuries of Ricardo and Ronaldo are the journalists, and Pellegrini responded: "Ronaldo's injuries are more serious, and he has gone to the hospital for a detailed examination. Ricardo's injury is a little less severe, but further diagnosis is needed and it is uncertain whether he will be available for the next round. ”

Ricardo's injuries were really not serious. The next day, a detailed examination came out. It's just a ligament strain, and you need to be out of action for a week or two.

Ronaldo's condition is more serious, it is the cruciate ligament that he has undergone surgery to re-injure, although it is not ruptured, but the situation is not optimistic.

It is best to have another surgery, which will require about 2 months of recuperation.

There are also doctors who recommend conservative treatment, then the recovery period takes up to 3 months.

"What do you think, Dadatta?" In the hospital room, Ricardo is peeling apples for Ronaldo.

Ronaldo barely smiled. "I don't want to have another operation. There is a possibility that the surgery will fail, and I don't want to retire so early. ”

"The operation is a risk, but if the risk is successful, the effect will be better," Licardo couldn't make up his mind for Ronaldo, "If you treat it conservatively, there is a high chance of recurrence in the future." ”

"As long as I continue to play, whether I choose surgery or conservative treatment, there is a possibility of a recurrence."

"Don't worry, I will win the league title and the Champions League this season." Li Cardo said seriously, lowered his head and continued to peel the apple, "You can recuperate with peace of mind, no matter what decision you make, I will support you." ”
