144. Visiting Old Trafford

7 December 2006.

Old Trafford, Manchester, England.

It was the first round of this season's UEFA Champions League Group F group stage when Manchester United played at home to Benfica, and before the game had even started, the Old Trafford stadium, which can accommodate more than 76,000 fans, was already packed with fans from both sides.

The entire Old Trafford stadium turned into a sea of fiery red, and Manchester United even pulled up a huge Manchester United crest in the stands at Old Trafford, and even fans held up a huge caricature picture of Benfica in their hands to cheer Manchester United on.

The Manchester United fans also sang "Glory to Manchester United" to cheer for the Manchester United team. At the same time, there are also a lot of Manchester United fans who are scolding Benfica's Qiu Ze.

Before the game, this guy could scold their Manchester United star to the fullest, of course they were unhappy, and now Qiu Ze has been upgraded to Manchester United's number one public enemy, and Manchester United fans are cursing Qiu Ze frantically, as if they are going to skin Qiu Ze alive.

During the warm-up at Old Trafford, Qiu Ze's ears were not clear. Of course, he was also very upset, and he decided to shut up these damn guys.

Soon, the Benfica players finished their warm-up and were about to walk to the players' tunnel when the Manchester United players were finishing their warm-up and were also walking towards the stadium.

When he was in the players' tunnel, Qiu Ze happened to meet Manchester United's Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, and the two could be described as enemies who were very angry when they met. However, Qiu Ze was a little better, because he pretended not to see Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, so he ignored it directly, strode past Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, and walked into the player's tunnel.

And Cristiano 61 Ronaldo saw Qiu Ze ignoring him, he waited for Qiu Ze with his eyes full of fire, knowing that Qiu Ze's figure disappeared into the player's tunnel. He thought viciously in his heart: "Boy, you won't be arrogant for long!" Your end has come! ”

Hum! With a cold snort, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo returned to the dressing room.

"Hello everyone! This is Eurosport and today, we bring you Manchester United's home game against Benfica in the final round of this season's UEFA Champions League group. The Eurosport commentator said immediately.

"Now that the players from both sides are on the pitch, let's start by giving you a brief overview of the starting line-ups for both sides today." The Eurosport commentator began to introduce the starting line-ups for both sides.

Today, both sides are playing with the main force, and the home team Manchester United is in a four-four-two formation, and the goalkeeper is Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar.

In the back four are Heinze, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Gary 61 Neville. In the midfield four positions are Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Michael 61 Carrick and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo. The two up front were Saha and Wayne Rooney.

The visiting Benfica starting XI for today looked like this, they lined up in a 4231 formation with Quiim in the goalkeeper position.

In the back four are Arcides, Anderson, Luison and Leon, in the back two are Caragonnis and Petit, and in the front three are Kachulanis, Qiu Ze and Simao. At the top of the front line was Nuno 61 seconds to die.

It can be seen that before the game, the very manager Santos will go all out is not an empty word, they are really going to fight Manchester United.

Watching Benfica play with all their strength, Manchester United fans also know very well that Benfica is really going to fight them. Before seeing Benfica's starting list, Manchester United fans still had some luck in their hearts, and now after seeing Benfica's starting list, Manchester United fans were angry all of a sudden, and they booed wildly, booing Benfica's players.

Manchester United fans are now cursing Qiu Zelai even more frantically, and they now hate this guy to death. In their opinion, if it weren't for this guy who was right with Cristiano 61 Ronaldo and others before the game, the relationship between the two sides was stiffened, which made Benfica coach Santos determined to fight Manchester United.

It's all because of Qiu Ze, Qiu Ze is the culprit, so Qiu Ze has become the most unpopular person at Old Trafford.

Standing in the middle of the court, Qiu Ze's heart was very unhappy, he was holding back a lot of energy in his heart, Lao Tzu must shut up you trash.

At this time, the referee looked at the half of the two sides and found that there was no situation, and he immediately blew the whistle for the start of the game.

With a whistle, the UEFA Champions League group stage between Benfica and Manchester United officially began.

The home team Manchester United kicked off first, and this game was very important for Manchester United and had to win, so as soon as the game started, they launched a ferocious attack, hoping to take the initiative of the game into their own hands as soon as possible.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney played the ball back and Benfica's men frantically poured into United's half. Scholes, who received the ball in the middle, saw Nuno 61 Gomez rushing up, and he directly transferred the ball to the wing, where Cristiano 61 Ronaldo caught the ball.

Qiu Ze in the middle rushed over early and grabbed frantically, he was unwilling to give Cristiano 61 Ronaldo a chance to perform. The spontaneous combustion caused displeasure among Manchester United's fans, who booed even more ferociously.

Seeing Qiu Ze rushing up, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo directly took the ball to the side, and then quickly detoured outside the sideline and directly used his speed to change direction past Qiu Ze. But Qiu Ze made the first kick and poked the ball out of the bottom line, Manchester United's sideline ball.

Originally, the fans of the Manchester United team saw Cristiano 61 Ronaldo about to speed past Qiu Ze, and they were all excited to fly. But seeing that this guy broke the football with one kick first, they became angry and cursed Qiu Ze frantically.

Full-back Gary 61 Neville quickly stepped forward and threw the ball out, and the ball flew directly to Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, who 61 Ronaldo resisted Qiu Ze with his body. However, Qiu Ze, behind Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, reached out first and poked the ball out of the sideline again.

Gary 61 Neville hadn't had time to run onto the pitch when the ball was out of the sideline again, and he now took the ball straight from the caddie and threw it to Scholes, who came up to pick it up. Scholes didn't catch the ball and passed it straight back to Gary 61 Neville. Gary 61 Neville catches the ball and lobbles it straight to the wing.

The ball flew over Qiu Ze's head, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo stepped forward at the same time, leaving Qiu Ze behind, Qiu Ze chased back frantically, and at the same time Benfica's full-back Archides came out to block Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's way forward.

Qiu Ze and Arcides flanked Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, but Cristiano 61 Ronaldo did not have any panic on his face. Seeing that Qiu Ze and the two were about to get closer, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo suddenly knocked the ball sideways.

Qiu Ze and Arcides were shocked, and turned their heads to see Scholes coming up and catching the ball.

At the edge of the penalty area, Scholes took the ball, and Benfica's central defender Luisson made a direct save to block. Scholes didn't hesitate and fired a long-range shot straight from the edge of Benfica's penalty area.

"Long Shot !!" The BBC's commentator, John 61 Mortson, let out a roar that shook the world.

Boom! Scholes struck the ball with his right leg and it flew towards Benfica. Benfica centre-back Luizon immediately jumped sideways and blocked the ball with his body.

However, the ball swept across his cheek with a strong wind, and the ball went straight towards Benfica's goal like a meteor, and the United fans immediately became excited.

Benfica's goalkeeper Quiim was ready and when he saw the ball coming, he immediately flew to make a save.

Kuim, who was flying in the air, saw the trajectory of the football clearly, and his heart was suddenly relieved, judging from his experience as a goalkeeper for so many years, the goal was completely off.

As Quiem expected, the ball flew past Quiim's hands and then deflected wide.

"Wow!" The Red Devils fans collectively hugged their heads and exclaimed.

"Woohoo!" Benfica fans exhaled and sighed that it was dangerous.

Although Manchester United's attack did not score, the Manchester United fans were very excited, they saw the hope of Manchester United winning, and they firmly believed that if Manchester United continued to play like this, Benfica would not be able to stop their strong Manchester United team at all.

"Attack! Offensive! Kill the damn Benfica! Kill them! "Manchester United fans cheer loudly on the Manchester United players inside the stadium at Old Trafford.

And at this time, news came from another stadium that Copenhagen had scored, and Copenhagen had a one-goal lead over Celtic. The Manchester United fans were suddenly excited, cheering wildly for the crazy attack of the Manchester United team, who now needed to score.

At this time, the Manchester United players on the pitch also knew the news, and they were very excited, and they immediately launched a ferocious attack to try to get the goal.

Midfielder Paul 61 Paul Scholes catches the ball and then he quickly passes it to Cristiano 61 Ronaldo on the wing. As soon as Cristiano Ronaldo received the ball, he quickly spotted Kachulanis in front of him.

Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's feet immediately and quickly arranged flowers, his feet kept changing back and forth in front of the ball, constantly flashing, and it was dazzling to watch. Kachulanis was obviously a little flustered, and his heart was a little shocked, this guy's feet were really tough.

Suddenly, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo took the ball to the side and then accelerated past Kachulanis.

Breakthrough! The Manchester United fans immediately roared with excitement.

However, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's eyes suddenly flashed, and Benfica's full-back Arcides fell to the ground in a flash of lightning and shoveled the ball off the sideline.

"Oops!" The Manchester United fans immediately erupted in a deep sigh.

The Red Devils Manchester United took the ball on the touchline, Gary 61 Neville tossed the ball into the feet of Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, but it was quickly poked away by Kachulanis, who was close to him. The ball came to the feet of Michael 61 Carrick, who immediately dribbled forward, and Qiu Ze, the heart of Benfica's midfield, quickly pounced.

Seeing Qiu Ze pounce, Michael 61 Carrick immediately passed the ball to Paul 61 Scholes in the middle, and then Paul 61 Scholes directly pushed the ball back to Michael 61 Carrick who had passed Qiu Ze.

Two over one, Michael 61 Carrick received the ball and did not break through directly. Instead, he immediately passed the ball out and into a wide gap on the left wing. Ryan Giggs quickly shook off Leon and Simão at high speed to get on the catch.

"Wow!!" The Red Devils Manchester United fans immediately cheered and cheered wildly.

After receiving the ball, Giggs scurried diagonally into the box from the corner of the box, and Benfica centre-back Luisson quickly posted it. Giggs suddenly burst towards the baseline, and Louisson seemed to follow immediately.

Wayne 61 Rooney stepped back sharply and retreated to the edge of the box, and Anderson quickly followed.

Arcides clings to Cristiano 61 Ronaldo. However, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo is cunning, he quickly cut from the line of the penalty area to the middle, and Arcides can only follow.

However, the speed of Arcides and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo are too different, and this time Cristiano 61 Ronaldo pulled down at least two positions.

Giggs, who took the ball, caught a glimpse of Cristiano 61 Ronaldo who burst in laterally, and he immediately passed the ball back, and the ball flew quickly to Cristiano 61 Ronaldo on the line of the penalty area.

Seeing such an opportunity, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo will certainly not give up, do not stop the ball, and directly meet the ball and wave his legs.

The entire Benfica fans screamed in amazement.
