Both sides of the battle have the strongest lineup, Barcelona has a 442 formation, goalkeeper Hesper, Puyol, Reziger, Oku, Abelardo on the backline, the midfield is led by Pep Guardiola, Figo, Enrique, Cocu, and the front line is 2 Brazilian Sony. Anderson and Rivaldo.

Manchester United's forward line is partnered by Andy and Andy Cole, the midfield is led by captain Roy Keane to the 92 golden generation of Ryan Giggs, Beckham, Scholes, Gary Neville, Alwin, Paris and Stam who has just joined this season, and the goalkeeper is naturally Schmeichel.

Barcelona were given the right to pick the edge and United kicked off first. Andy knocked the ball to Andy Cole behind him and ran forward.

Andy Cole received the ball and immediately passed the ball back to Roy Keane, who was the link between Manchester United's midfield and controlled the tempo of the team with good attacking and defensive equipment.

Roy Keane received the ball and broke through Sony, who came up in a decent way to make a steal. Anderson then gave the ball to Ryan Giggs.

Ryan Giggs ran forward quickly along the flank, and after seeing Andy who was pulling the opposing defense in the middle under the siege of the opposing midfielder, Ryan Giggs immediately took advantage of the gap of the opposing player and stuffed it straight to Andy.

Andy saw the incoming ball, rubbed it gently, the ball stopped firmly at his feet, at this time Guardiola had already pounced on him, Andy saw Guardiola's small body, not afraid at all, he believed that as long as he was up to speed, he could beat the famous midfielder in front of him in the impact.

Andy took the ball towards Guardiola, but the expected impact did not come, and Guardiola's experienced body was close to Andy's body one and a half when the two were about to touch, and then kept harassing him to prevent Andy from rushing.

Andy was alert when he spotted Figo trying to steal the ball from behind in Pep Guardiola's close press, and he made a pass to David Beckham before continuing to run forward.

David Beckham took a few steps after receiving the ball and immediately understood an accurate pass to get the ball back to Andy.

Andy got the ball, quickly went to the middle, near the big penalty area, faced two defenders, a sharp turn to the right, and before the opponent could react, he got up and hit the goal vigorously!

Barcelona's goalkeeper Hesp jumped high but couldn't touch the ball, which was too fast, but unfortunately, the ball flew slightly off the right post by a few centimeters.

This kick was so dangerous that the entire Barcelona coach's bench stood up!

Van Gaal glanced at Andy with palpitations, before the game, he had an in-depth understanding of Manchester United's game this season, and he also knew a lot about Andy's performance in the previous games, knowing that this is a power and speed striker, based on the hardness of Barcelona's midfield, he also took care of Cocu to protect Guardiola and fill in the position, who knew that the flexibility of the young man in front of him was so good.

"It's a pity!" Alex Ferguson sighed, but applauded.

The old Edward and Kelly Brooke in the box stood up at the moment Andy shot, and sighed in disappointment when they saw that the ball did not go in, but Mr. Agent was steady, and although the American Paul Smith has understood the popularity of football in Europe, he has not yet fallen in love with the sport. …,

"This is our new star at Manchester United, Andy. Chen, a once-in-a-century football talent in the UK, has scored two goals in two consecutive Premier League games, so let's wish him a continuation of his scoring tide in this game! The commentator stirred up the emotions of the fans at the right time, and there was a cheer in the audience.

Andy loves to play at Old Trafford, and the atmosphere at home excites him even more, and in the audience, there are tens of thousands of fans cheering for themselves at Manchester United, what a thrilling thing!

I have to score, I have to win, I can't let down the people who support me!!

The dangerous attack sparked a frenzy of attack for United, but Barcelona were not vegetarians either, and after fending off a few attacks from United, they also launched a powerful attack.

Pep Guardiola picked up the ball and advanced down the middle, then handed the ball to Figo on the wing, and Enrique quickly followed, with several skilful players working together to quickly move the ball into the vicinity of United's penalty area.

Sony after a through ball. Anderson and Rivaldo made a 2-on-1 combination, Rivaldo made a cold shot, but fortunately Schmeichel concentrated and held the ball firmly in his arms.

The two teams have launched wave after wave of attacks back and forth, although they have not scored so far, but the audience at the scene is very addicted.

In the 15th minute, Barcelona's Figo broke down the flank and sent in an accurate cross to the tall Rivaldo, but the Brazilian's header was far worse than his feet, and Schmeichel jumped up to pick up the ball in the air.

Andy has been waiting for an opportunity in the frontcourt, he knows that his defensive level is a scum, he can use his speed in the front court to force the opposing player, and the coach has never asked himself to defend, he himself thinks that the task of the striker is to score, and defense is the business of the midfielder and the defender.

By this time, Schmeichel's hand-tossed ball had been given to Gary Neville, who took a few steps and handed the ball to David Beckham, who had come to pick it up.

Andy saw the ball at David Beckham's feet and immediately raised his hand to ask for it.

David Beckham immediately stopped dribbling the ball, looked up to see the situation, and with a big kick, the ball arced in his direction.

Andy quickly ran towards the point where the ball landed, it was a high ball, he was already waiting to stop the ball with his chest and break forward, you must know that there are only 4-5 defenders in Barcelona's half.

The football flew fast and came to Andy in an instant.

Just as the ball was about to fall to his feet, Enrique, who was scrambling next to him, hit him directly with his shoulder.

Andy didn't take control of the ball further, but grabbed his arm to protect the ball in front of him, and then slammed it directly into Enrique, who hit him.

Enrique, who pounced on Andy, was stumbled by Andy's body in reverse!

All they saw was Enrique pounced, then bounced off again, and Andy pulled the ball, and the ball obediently stopped on the right foot.

Andy wouldn't take care of Enrique, who was still trying to stabilize his body, he curled his mouth at him contemptuously, and controlled the ball to gently pass him forward.

The fans in the audience were obviously stunned by Andy's strong physicality and still running, at this time, the whole stadium was quiet, but in the blink of an eye, there was a cheer, they were cheering to see this fierce confrontation, but also to be glad that they did not miss this wonderful game, and even more happy that Manchester United could get such a striker for free!! …,

Andy rushed forward with the ball and after shaking off Enrique, there were only four defenders in Barcelona's half, and although their midfielders were now running back to their own half at a fast pace, Andy didn't care about them at all.

Oku and Abelardo looked at Andy who was rushing towards them in front of them, and they were also angry, are we so easy to deal with, when we are stakes.

Oku and Abelardo immediately ran over to block, Andy was actually very nervous, he had already had a few game experience, he knew that if the two of them went up one by one, he could easily deal with them, but once they closed the door, even if their own people passed, the ball might not be able to pass, so they had to find a gap before they closed the door.

Seeing the two players on the other side running over quickly, Andy gritted his teeth and decided to fight, as long as he could lead by one goal, the game would be much easier to play in the future.

Andy picked up the pace again, slammed his shoulder into Oku before he and Abelardo closed the door, and after knocking him away, Abelardo's foot was already slashing.

Andy saw that the ball at his feet was about to be tackled, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he stabbed the ball under his feet into the air in the high-speed run, and then turned 360 degrees with an emergency stop, so he avoided Abelardo's body and feet in front of him, and after doing this extremely windy action, he continued to rush towards the ball.

After crossing the two, the box was open and only Barcelona's last two defenders, Puyol and Reziger, remained.

Seeing that the same young Puyol has rushed towards him, and Reziger is behind him to fill in for him, Andy is not a fool, if he rushes up at this time, then they delay the time, and wait for the opposing players who are chasing back to close the circle, he is a god and has to lose the ball.

Seeing that his partner Andy Cole was not far to the left behind him, he tapped the soccer ball under his feet, and the soccer ball came to Andy Cole's feet, and he himself ran forward.

Puyol saw the ball being diverted and immediately pounced on Andy Cole, but his lack of experience in the game did not even notice that Andy Cole had made a pass after taking a few steps forward.

The experienced Reziger was already anxious to entangle Andy with his hands and feet at this time, but Andy leaned against his body tightly, and Andy Cole transferred the ball to Andy with a backstroke.

After Andy received the ball like this, he clamped his arms around his body, leaned his upper body on Reziger's body, and then directly picked up his thick left leg and pumped it towards the football.

The soccer ball was like a missile, from a complete standstill to a sharp acceleration forward, whistling towards the goal!

Andy knew it the moment the ball left his feet, and although his left foot was not as powerful as his right, his shooting skills from a young age made his left foot no worse than his right foot at close range.

Hesp obviously didn't know that Andy was a shooter who could shoot left and right, because Andy had always used his right foot in previous games, so while he was still staring at Andy's right foot, Andy had already shot on goal.

By the time he saw the ball flying towards him and made a save, it was too late, and the ball whizzed through his hand and into the net.

gooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!

At this time, how could it be that Martin Taylor, the famous football commentator of the BBC, who already had a slight hint of Andy's brains, only heard his passionate voice immediately sound.

"Andy! Our young player Andy, in the 17th minute of the game, after the pass and reception of Andy Cole, Andy Jr. used his left foot to shoot angrily, and now the score is 1:0, Manchester United lead!! Look at his dribbling performance just now, how strong his physical fitness, how sharp he is, this perfect combination of speed and power, it is difficult to find a better one in the world!! ”…,

In an instant, Old Trafford was boiling like a powder keg of explosion, and deafening cheers reverberated throughout the stadium.

Andy rushed towards Andy Cole, and made a chest punch with him in the air, and then he couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and took off his jersey to reveal a toned body that was the envy of all men and made women drool, and rushed directly towards the box where his family was.

The elder Edward in the box was already standing there cheering loudly after seeing Andy score, and at this moment, he saw his grandson coming towards his position, and hurriedly stood with Kelly Brooke and Paul Smith, who were also excited, to the position of the box facing the court, and waved to Andy with his body exposed.

Andy was so excited, it was his first Champions League game, and he didn't expect the goal to come so quickly, so when he ran to the bottom of the box where his family was, he stood there stupidly and waved at it.

The live television broadcast gave Andy and his family a 10-second close-up until Andy was rushed over by his teammates and directly crushed him to the grass...
