Chapter 186: A Real Man
(Thanks to the newspaper for the tipping of the wind and KKK6918!! )
Manchester United won 4-2 at home to visiting AC Milan to take the lead over the two legs. [. Excellence in the Whole Book].org
In the post-match interview, Carlo Ancelotti said that the match was a two-legged match, so the game was not over yet, and he lost two goals in the first half and won it back in the second half.
Kaka was able to score goals despite a tight defence and performed well, giving Carlo Ancelotti a lot of confidence.
Ferguson also said that the game is not over yet, Manchester United are only slightly ahead, and the next game will definitely be tougher. The atmosphere at the San Siro is unrivalled and the United players have to withstand the pressure.
Kai Sa, who scored two goals in this game, scored 10 goals in the Champions League, and contributed two assists, frowned, and looked lost, as if the game had been lost.
In an interview with reporters, he was unusually low-key, "AC Milan are legends and it is very difficult to play against them. The next game is not going to be good, so we will definitely work harder. ”
The winner speaks like he loses, and the loser seems to have the mentality of a winner. What's going on? The fans couldn't understand it.
In the other Champions League semi-final, Chelsea beat Liverpool 1-0 at home, with Jose Mourinho winning over Rafael Benitez to take the lead.
It was Frank Lampard who scored, with Didier Drogba's shot saved by Reyna and Frank Lampard slotting home from the spot. Rafa Benitez has been complaining about the team buying him a lamp, and if he had bought Frank Lampard, his complaints might have stopped.
Back in the league, Manchester United played Everton away with a big rotation and as many as seven personnel changes. Kaisa is still on the bench and plays as a superweapon.
Manchester United were 1-0 down in the first half and the situation was grim. Ferguson made two substitutions in a row, with Kaisa and Carrick coming on and taking control.
In the second half, Kaisa scored a hat-trick to reverse the game directly, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored the last goal, and Manchester United reversed the game 4-2.
Almost at the same time, Chelsea suffered a surprise defeat to Bolton Wanderers and Manchester United almost sealed the league title ahead of schedule. Losing Chelsea's replay against Manchester United could call the season off early.
The make-up rounds are scheduled for May 10, before the final round. Manchester United could have Chelsea lined up to welcome them then.
But the minds of both teams are not in the league, and the Champions League semi-finals are in full swing, and no one dares to make mistakes. However, there was bad news from Manchester United, Park Ji-sung suffered an ankle sprain and was determined to miss the next game.
Ronaldo was also unable to play in the away game because he knocked his knee, and he could only hope for the final, which was really a sad injury time.
Manchester United left for Milan a day early, and without Park Ji-sung and Cristiano Ronaldo, the team was quiet. Kaisa went to Milan City, and didn't even go out to the nightclubs, Milan's nightclubs are world-famous, and not going to Milan is the same as never coming to Milan.
I heard that Xiao Luo in Barcelona also wanted to Milan and continue to enjoy the life of drunken dreams. He has reached the peak of his life at Barca, leading the team to win the Champions League, Barca's second Champions League title.
In the UEFA Super Cup, Ronaldo led the team to slaughter AZ Alkmaar 3-0 and realize his dream of Europe. Ronaldo's final peak form, the team failed to go further this season and was eliminated by Liverpool.
Milan fans saw that Ronaldo and Park Ji-sung were absent, and they did everything possible to make sure that it was really not a smoke bomb. Manchester United is missing two big players, Milanese's confidence has skyrocketed, without Ronaldo and Park Ji-sung, can Kaisa still go to the sky?
Before the game, it rained heavily in San Siro. Kai Sa's heart immediately had an ominous premonition of Milan slaughtering Manchester United on a cold rainy night.
Before the game, he hurriedly muttered to Scholes and Giggs, "On rainy days, the lawn is waterlogged, the ground is less infiltrated, and the long pass is as high as possible, don't give me a long pass on the ground, it's too easy to be broken." ”
Scholes bent over, touched the turf, and pressed his palm down, barely past the back of his hand, "Well, standing water affects the speed of the ball, I'll talk to them about it too." ”
Carlo Ancelotti didn't have many cards in his hand, and there was only one personnel change compared to the previous game, with Inzaghi replaced by Gilardino.
Manchester United has made personnel adjustments in 5 positions, and it feels that the strength has not decreased, and it is still very balanced, and this depth of squad almost made Ancelotti drool with envy.
In the goalkeeper position, it is still Van der Sar. The older he gets older and older in the past two seasons, he feels like Ryan Giggs, and he can maintain his good form for another 10 years.
There was only one change in the back line, with Patrice Evra replacing Heinze, Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand in central defence, and veteran Gary Neville at right-back.
In midfield, Manchester United arranged four men, with Ryan Giggs, Mikel, Mascherano and Paul Scholes coming together, a completely different midfield line-up from the previous game.
But it is also both offensive and defensive, and does not scare the midfielder of AC Milan. Scholes was warming up in the last game, his body was not very comfortable, he was temporarily replaced by Ferguson, Carrick came on, fortunately Carrick performed well and won the game smoothly.
Up front, Kaisa and Wayne Rooney are both on the sidelines.
As soon as the game began, there were problems with Manchester United's penetration. It has been raining, there is a lot of water, the ball speed has slowed down, the force has not been controlled well in several passes, and the passing speed has been slow by half a beat.
Ferguson arranged Ryan Giggs and Scholes today, plus Gary Neville and Van der Sar, the four old ballwards, presumably also have this idea.
Heavy rain can affect the pass, and the best option is for players with super breakthrough ability to tear up space and create opportunities for teammates.
Otherwise, such rain is comparable to the volcanic ash that Barcelona suffered, well, it can be a reason to lose.
Kaisa was helpless, several times to create opportunities, teammates could not step on the point, the threat was not great, he had to retreat, let Rooney in the front, himself plugged in to find opportunities.
AC Milan, for their part, like the rhythm. They were already slow to pass and receive the ball, and today was even more outrageous, with the players getting close together, making short passes to each other, trying not to give United a chance to steal.
Both sides are running slowly!
Carlo Ancelotti liked the rhythm and he regretted that he didn't start with Inzaghi, otherwise he would have slaughtered Manchester United. But don't worry, Kaka's chance has come.
Ferguson was more nervous than anyone else, and Manchester United played a season of ground penetration, and suddenly the ground was soaked, it was difficult to penetrate, it was difficult to do. If the wings fly together, and there is no master in the middle, to put it more simply, Kaisa and Rooney are not tall enough.
Kaisa 183 is okay, but he is not good at heading, and there are few headers this season. Rooney is only 178, a small tank, and he can't do Vanney's job.
The pass between Seedorf and Pirlo was easy, with Mikel going up to interfere and almost losing out, being played around by two veteran players. If it weren't for Ryan Giggs, they would have continued to walk the birds.
Seedorf passed in a straight line, very slowly, but at just the right angle, to Gilardino. The spot is far from the box and Gilardino doesn't pose much of a threat.
Mascherano heard Kaisa's reminder and reacted immediately. Find Kaka.
Kaka has been activated, not good, he can't catch up. Kaisa was also chasing back, a beat slower. Kaka receives a pass from Gilardino and quickly gets rid of it, passing the man.
Shot!
Shooting in the rain, it is really beautiful, and the handsome face with elegant ball skills is too attractive to fans.
"Boom!"
The ball almost went into the net, but before the ball could go into the net, he fished it out on the goal line, ruined the goal, and fell into the net himself, covered in mud.
Shake his head, wipe his face, rain and cement water to the ground, under the camera, Kai Sa is fierce, like the villain of the movie, who wants to kill Kaka's enthronement ceremony.
But countless fans saw Kaisa's appearance, and two words were born in their hearts: real man!!
