Chapter 208: Raul scores

The game continued.

Everyone at the scene felt the difference in Schalke 04.

Whether it is Manchester United fans or commentators, they originally thought that after conceding the goal, Schalke 04 would definitely be demoralized, not to mention depressed, but it is certain that they will fall into chaos for a short time, but they did not expect that Schalke 04 did not suffer heavy losses at all, on the contrary, they were more actively involved in the counterattack.

Instead of dying in adversity, but catching up in adversity!

Schalke 04's unyielding fighting spirit, just that, is enough for them to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League this season, and they have a reason!

"Schalke 04's counterattack!"

"Raul! It's Raul again! He fired straight from the left side of the box to force a fine save from Edwin van der Sar...... The Spanish veteran was very active in this game, his movements were still flexible, and his movement was still unguardable! Raul, it seems, never gets old! With his practical actions, he drove Schalke 04 to continue to fight! ”

"Against a strong Manchester United, Schalke 04 did not show the slightest fear! Conceding a goal doesn't seem to have much impact on them, they are still attacking aggressively! ”

The Manchester United players on the field were a little surprised, whether in terms of strength or score, Manchester United has a great advantage, but the opponent is still indomitable, stuffy head and actively attacking, this kind of posture, is it to be tough with them to the end?

The morale and momentum of the home team suddenly showed that Manchester United, as an opponent, was deeply shaken, but at the same time, there was a sense of pride in their hearts, if the opponent wants to fight, then they will fight! We are the Red Devils Manchester United, who have we been afraid of?!

The game continues to be a good show!

Ferguson frowned, Schalke 04's tenacity was a little more than he expected, but he didn't take it to heart, if the opponent wants to continue to play against the attack, then it is good to accompany him to the end, anyway, Manchester United is ahead, and also has the ability to threaten the opponent's goal, Schalke 04 pulls out the attack better, Manchester United will have a good chance of scoring more away goals, why not?

"It's a surprising team!"

Molina suddenly sighed.

"It's really respectable." Fan Bizhuang added, "I prefer to believe that this is the change that Gonzalez has brought to this young team, there is no doubt that Gonzalez is such a charismatic leader, he can lead the people around him and fight with him to the end!" ”

"A good player indeed, a rare good player!" Molina nodded in agreement, then shook her head again, "But ...... Schalke 04 is so tenacious, which is not a good thing. Anything can happen on the field, although Manchester United has the advantage in strength and scores, but Schalke 04 is also very strong! ”

Fan Bizhuang did not speak, but frowned slightly, and continued to watch the game in the field.

……

As the clock ticked by, the battle between the two teams continued fiercely, and the hustle and bustle of the Feltings Arena did not stop for a moment.

Seeing that the game was close to half-time, but the situation changed abruptly, in the 44th minute, Schalke 04, who was stuck together with Manchester United and was inseparable, finally exchanged the fruits of the harvest with tireless "hard work".

Peruvian striker Farfan dribbled the ball on the side and shook the defense of Carrick and Evra continuously, suddenly hoisted the ball into the penalty area, and accurately found Huntelaar, the Dutch shooter was forced by Ferdinand, did not directly head the goal, but half-turned the football back, Raul rushed into the penalty area like a ghost, Vidic saw that the situation was not good, and fell directly to the ground to tackle, Raul's action was as flexible and agile as when he was young, and his left foot was pulled and flicked, and the ball and people dodged away at the same time, and he did not hesitate to hit the goal.

Neville came in and jumped to block Raul's shot, but his face changed after jumping, which was still a feint, and Raul flicked the ball again and dodged the angle.

Raul's left foot was raised again, this time, it was no longer a feint, in the face of Van der Sar, who abandoned the goal, Raul calmly pushed with the arch of his foot, and the football jumped under Van der Sar's crotch and fell straight into the net!

The Fairings Arena fell silent suddenly, and then a volcanic eruption.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Raul! Raul!! Raul!!! Raul...... Gonzalez! A series of breakthroughs, a series of realistic movements, the Spanish veteran played the entire defense of Manchester United between his feet! ”

"Brilliant goal! Raul, who scored a goal for Schalke 04 to equalize the score! ”

"It was Raul's 75th Champions League goal! He is a veritable king of the European wars! He has set a new European record for goals, Raul, he was born to be a great player for football! ”

Raul Raul ...... Raul! Remember his name, he's Raul. Gonzalez! He's not getting old! He still has magical feet! He's still going to score goals, he's still going to lead the team! He is an absolute gem of Schalke 04! The score is 1:1, cheer, for Raul, cheer to your heart's content! ”

The commentators were screaming hoarse and excited, and the stands were already boiling, and the home fans were screaming, roaring, and screaming, "Raul! "Raul!" The voices took over the stands, everyone was shouting Raul's name, everyone was clapping his hands and saluting him.

It was a crucial goal, which strengthened the confidence and resolve of the home team, and Raul's goal not only allowed them to level the score, but also showed them that they too have a chance to win against a strong Manchester United!

Amid the overwhelming cheers and the excitement of his teammates, Raul ran on the pitch with open arms, kissing the ring finger of his left hand, and although he did not wear the ring in his hand because of the rules, he still made the signature kiss ring celebration.

The style of "The Lord of the Rings" is once again presented to the world!

Fan Bizhuang also stood up, clapped his hands gently, looked at Molina and Felisa's somewhat puzzled eyes, and he smiled: "Although he is an opponent now, I must admit that he is the captain I will always respect, and his performance deserves to be applauded by the whole world!" ”

Molina was thoughtful, Felisa stood up, and the "fiancé" clapped her hands, she naturally wanted to keep up.

……

The team conceded the goal, but the expression on Ferguson's face did not change much, and he was still extremely calm.

In fact, he had expected such a result for a long time, and he was mentally prepared, for the simple reason that after all, this is Schalke 04's home stadium, and the strength of the opponent is not bad, and it is normal to score goals in the offensive battle.

For Alex Ferguson, it was just a goal conceded on the road, and now his team still has the advantage of scoring away goals, he is not in a hurry, and most importantly, there is still a lot of time in the game, this is not the final score, and he believes that if the game continues to be "open-ended", his team will still have the opportunity to score in the coming time.

But what slightly shocked him was...... He glanced at Raul, who was running around the field in celebration, and shook his head.

The former king of the Bernabeu, although he is no longer young, is still the top goalkeeper, and his presence has created a great threat to Manchester United's goal.

'He's got to be stopped in the second half! He can't be allowed to be active unchecked! ”

A gleam flashed in Ferguson's eyes, and he made up his mind.

……

The first half of the game ended quickly, the score was temporarily fixed at 1:1, and the attack battle between Schalke 04 and Manchester United ended in a draw for the time being.

Both sides returned to their respective locker rooms to rest and adjust.

In the visitors' dressing room, Ferguson did not criticise his players for conceding a late goal in the first half, instead he praised his team's performance throughout the half and encouraged them to keep up the pressure on their opponents.

Of course, then he focused on telling Carrick and the backline, asking them to be more close to Raul, and even use foul tactics when necessary - for this, Ferguson has no psychological pressure at all, Schalke 04 is not Manchester United, they don't have a "sharpshooter" who has almost 100 shots of free kicks, so as long as it is not a penalty, free kicks are given casually, they are not worried at all!

……

Ferguson's changes to the team are only minor repairs, and he is obviously satisfied with the team's half-time performance.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, although the score is a draw for the time being, but Manchester United is playing away, and the advantage of away goals is here, so he really doesn't need to worry. In addition, although the scene is intense, Manchester United obviously still has the upper hand with its superior strength. Therefore, he still has a lot of confidence in the team.

It's just that he didn't expect that today's Schalke 04 has a tendency to go crazy, especially when the score was equalized at the end of the first half, which was even more morale-boosting.

Fifteen minutes later, the two teams were back on the field.

The two teams basically continued the state of the first half, and at the beginning of the second half, after just a few minutes of testing, the two teams once again handed over and collided together.

And this time, it was Schalke who was favored by God04.

In the 49th minute, Schalke 04 turned defense into offense, launched a quick counterattack, the football quickly advanced to 30 meters of the Manchester United penalty area, and Spanish defender Jurado kicked straight in front of Raul.

Carrick posted it as soon as possible, and the instructions given to him by Ferguson in the locker room were to forcefully interfere with Raul, and Carrick was naturally determined to carry out the instructions.

But I didn't expect that the shrewd Raul seemed to have long eyes behind him, and the moment Carrick posted it, the football also rolled over, Raul borrowed his strength to play, did not catch the ball, leaned on Carrick's body is a half-turn, Carrick was shaken, and when he wanted to keep up, Raul had already caught up with the football and completed the football.

A diagonal left-footed shot into the penalty area tore a huge hole in Manchester United's defense in an instant!
