Ferguson's concern is for a reason.

The teams that can enter the Champions League are all the leading teams in each league, especially in the knockout stage, no team is willing to play soy sauce, not extravagant to go further, even if there is no thought about the final champion, but will do their best to stay - this is a matter linked to the team's own interests, and one more game in the Champions League will make a lot of income.

Even if it is to generate more revenue for the club, none of these teams will be willing to be eliminated.

It's the same with Marseille.

After all, it is the traditional powerhouse of Ligue 1, whether it is for its own glory or to fight for more broadcast shares, Marseille has no reason to be willing to kill away from home, not to mention, the score difference in the first leg is not too big, Marseille is at a disadvantage, but this disadvantage has not reached the point of despair.

It is foreseeable that if Marseille is not willing to go out, then in this duel, it must be a hard fight.

Ferguson is well aware of the difference in strength between the opponent and his own team, but there are many objective factors on the football field, so Ferguson still does not dare to take it lightly, and while preparing carefully, he also motivates the players.

He even bluntly told his players his "ambitions" for this season's Champions League trophy, and he had to let his players know that this season, Manchester United's conquest in the Europa League is not just the quarter-finals or the semi-finals, they are going to compete for that silver trophy, so the starting point of conquest is to step over the corpse of Marseille!

……

The course of the game did not deviate from Ferguson's expectations.

After the opening, Marseille only seemed a little hesitant in the first ten minutes, and after the trial, Marseille quickly put the front on the premise and put on an all-out attacking posture.

There is no way to do it, the Ligue 1 giants are already on the brink of elimination, Manchester United have the lead and the advantage of two away goals, so it is natural to play unhurried in a tailwind, but Marseille can't, if they can't score on the road this morning, then the hope of reversing promotion will be less as time goes on.

In the face of Marseille's decisive attack, United showed composure, colliding with tough defence and threatening the opposition defence with quick counter-attacks.

In this case, although Marseille's offensive is lively, but there is not much threat in essence, on the contrary, Manchester United from time to time rapid counterattacks, but more test the away team's goal, whenever Manchester United has a threatening shot, it will cause Marseille fans in the stands to be frightened, but Rao is so, Marseille can only continue to attack, they have no way out.

In the fourteenth minute, Marseille finally had their first shot of the game – the first shot on target to be exact, and before that, Marseille had had a number of shots on target, all of which were destroyed by United's calm defence.

Valbuena fired a low shot from the top of the box from France's midfielder, but Carrick defended well, and under his interference, the French midfielder's shot did not hit the power and was easily confiscated by Van der Sar.

United's counter-attacks were more purposeful than the visitors' somewhat 'frizzy' attacks, with the home side not having many shots on goal (just two), but both of them hit the woodwork and were more threatening.

The shots came from Kaka and Dimitar Berbatov, the former forcing goalkeeper Mandanda to make a brilliant save and the latter's header lifted over the crossbar with both hands.

In terms of shooting statistics, the two sides are evenly matched, but on the pitch, Marseille play more aggressively, but it is Manchester United who create more threat.

A commentator sighed: "In this game, Marseille is determined to fight hard." They have no way out, and if they want to keep their hopes of qualifying for the last eight of the Champions League, they have no choice but to attack. But...... Manchester United have been calm at both ends of the pitch and Marseille will not be easy to get there, but on the contrary, they seem to be under greater threat in the back of the net......

As the game progressed, the delay in scoring goals, Marseille's players were inevitably more anxious, and on the other hand, the whole Manchester United team, but the more they played, the more they had experience, although it seemed that Marseille's offensive was more violent, but before the game was inspired by Ferguson's "ambition", Manchester United soldiers' morale and fighting spirit were also extremely high, they suppressed their emotions, silently waited for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to completely knock Marseille into the abyss!

The wait didn't last long, and in the unrelenting wave of cheers and screams at Old Trafford, in the 31st minute, Manchester United finally opened the door to promotion!

Marseille's attack once again ended without a problem, Van der Sar quickly threw the ball out with his hands, Van Bizhuang retreated to the middle circle to receive the ball, and continuously got rid of the ball at high speed, and suddenly a precise diagonal long pass sent the football into the penalty area, Berbatov jumped high, and turned his back to the goal on the edge of the penalty area to push the football down, and the follow-up Kaka did not stop the ball and got up directly, and the football quickly moved forward on the grass, almost rolling into the goal against the post.

1:0！

Manchester United scored first, the aggregate score became 3:1, the difference between the two teams extended to two goals, plus the advantage of two away goals in their hands, Manchester United's promotion can be said to be almost certain!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ The ball is in! The aggregate score between the two sides became 3:1! Ka Ka Ka ...... Kaka! He scored a goal for Manchester United that almost sealed promotion! The quarterfinals of the Champions League are just around the corner! ”

'The goal came so suddenly, we can all see that before that, Marseille were more aggressive in attack, but United were a bit of a move...... But that's just the way it is, and United's killer moves are hidden under such calm...... Kaka takes the top spot for Manchester United! 3:1！ Manchester United promotion is in sight! ”

"Kaka's goal could almost declare Marseille's death!"

The commentators were screaming and shouting wantonly, and Old Trafford was in a state of endless boiling at this moment.

After the first leg, Manchester United's advantage is not small, and now they are the first to score at home, everyone knows what it means, Marseille is almost difficult to recover, Manchester United to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League is already an unstoppable trend!

Kaka ran in celebration with both fingers in the air, his teammates following him, throwing punches and shouting loudly, all huddled in celebration of the decisive goal and the imminent march to the "championship".

On the contrary, the players of Marseille are at a loss, they also know very well what this goal means, before coming here, even if there is a big gap between the strength of the two sides, but they still have a trace of illusions about the reversal and promotion, but this goal almost destroyed all their illusions and sentenced them to death.

If they want to avoid elimination, they will have to score at least two goals in the remaining time – and against Manchester United, who have not tasted defeat this season, scoring two goals is already a difficult task, and even more difficult is that they have to score two goals without making sure that their goal is not penetrated, which is an impossible task.

With Manchester United's current strong and fierce attacking group, there is no team in Europe that dares to pat its chest and say that it can make Manchester United not score!

As a result, after this goal, it was already doomed!

Obviously, Manchester United want to kill the game completely and not give Marseille the slightest thought.

After the restart of the game, Manchester United changed their "unhurried" style, taking advantage of the opportunity to take the lead and boost morale, Manchester United launched a wave of onslaught, and soon after conceding the goal, Marseille had not recovered from the blow and suffered another heavy blow.

Manchester United's pursuit of victory completely knocked Marseille into the abyss of elimination.

In the 35th minute, just four minutes after the first goal conceded, Manchester United's successive attacks tore through the visitors' defence, Van Bizhuang dribbled into the box, but was brought down by Senegalese defender Diawara, the referee did not hesitate to blow a penalty and showed a red card to Diawara, who was tackling behind him.

Red Dot Package!

With the score behind and one less player on the field, Marseille is truly in a desperate situation!

Fan Bizhuang personally took the penalty kick he created, and there was no doubt that Fan Bizhuang directly hit the goal with a powerful and heavy violent kick, and once again broke the goal guarded by Mandanda!

The score became 2:0!

The overall score is 4:2!

"There is no suspense left! It is almost now possible to announce that Manchester United has a place in the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League! ”

"Start, shoot, score! Everything is so crisp and clean! Van didn't leave the Marseille any hope! ”

"We can congratulate Manchester United in advance! Just wait for the final whistle to blow and Manchester United will qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League! ”

The commentators in the commentator box began to congratulate Manchester United in advance.

The fans at home were even more excited and excited screaming and revelry.

……

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score was also fixed at 3:1, in the first half Manchester United led by two goals, in the second half, after replacing Kaka, Scholes and other three main players in a row, Manchester United still firmly controlled the initiative of the game, and finally came off the bench Hernandez scored another goal, and it was Van Bizhuang who provided him with an assist. Marseille scored a face-saving goal by Valbuena in the 80th minute, but the overall situation was fine, and Manchester United finally advanced to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 5:2!

Fan Bizhuang's performance in this game can be described as extraordinary, one pass and one shot, including Kaka's opening goal for the team, which was also instigated by him, and this performance earned him the award of the MVP after the game.

"Victory! Victory!! ”

"Champions League quarterfinals, here we come!"

"We will continue to win, we will continue to win, we will be ...... Terminal! ”

Amid the cheers in the sky, the Manchester United players were all shouting excitedly. Perhaps in the eyes of the fans, they were crying out for joy because they had qualified, but only they knew that they were shouting what they wanted to say in their hearts – that Ferguson told them that their goal was not the quarter-finals, the semi-finals, but ...... The ultimate champion!

For them, qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Champions League is just the beginning, what they want is to conquer this season's Champions League trophy!
