Chapter 136: Crazy Red Devil 1
"Well, now that the players from both sides are in the game, the game is about to begin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
As the commentator fell, there was jubilation at Old Trafford. Amid the cheers of the fans on both sides, the players from both sides followed the referees into the field.
After a series of pre-match ceremonies, the game began at the referee's whistle, with Roma attacking first.
Roma, who won the kick-off, launched a fierce attack after the whistle. As Ferguson's pre-match dressing room said, they needed an away goal.
The Manchester United players, who had been prepared for a long time, carried out Ferguson's arrangement in an orderly manner.
Carrick followed Vucinic closely, Rio Ferdinand and Brown took turns looking after Totti, and Yu Liang was constantly running sideways and sweeping at the back. Even Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney have retreated to the back to participate in the defense. With the defensive intensity of the Manchester United, the Roma didn't get a good chance. Their attacks struggled to penetrate the heart of the United and they were only able to shoot from the outside.
Pizarro fired a low shot wide of the post from 28 yards, before a retreating Totti latched on to a team-mate's pass and fired home from 25 yards.
The Roma team, which had failed to attack in a row, began to continue to strengthen the attack, and they gradually pressed the formation forward.
In the 8th minute, Vucinic got a chance up front. After team-mates hit the wall to shake off Carrick, Vucinic dodged Brown with a backheel kick and shot straight at goal. But the shot was ridiculously wide.
Roma's long-range shots from the perimeter failed to threaten Van der Sar's goal.
Manchester United, who had not launched an attack since the beginning, finally showed their fangs at this time.
In the goal area, Van der Sar directly kicked the ball into the front.
Van der Sar is not only a goal-line player, but also a great long-distance passer.
His long passes are fast and accurate, even surpassing some playmakers, and are a powerful weapon for the team to launch counter-attacks.
Van der Sar's long pass with a big foot went directly to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo on the right side of the front.
Cristiano Ronaldo's excellent performance in the first leg, coupled with Ronaldo's big words before the game that scoring goals is not a problem, the Roma have long held their breath and hope to beat Ronaldo and Manchester United in the game.
After Ronaldo received the ball, De Rossi was the first to rush to defend.
He told Totti before the game that Ronaldo couldn't even find the goal.
Seeing De Rossi rushing towards him, Ronaldo, who has excellent skills at his feet, made two changes of direction in a row. De Rossi immediately hesitated, and when De Rossi hesitated, Ronaldo knocked on the outside of his foot and accelerated past De Rossi's side. After breaking through De Rossi to attract Panucci's defence, Ronaldo sent the ball to the edge of the box with a low cross.
After Dong Wangwang, who had been at the front, interspersed into this position, he directly picked up his right foot and shot at the goal, and the ball rolled towards the goal quickly against the turf, and finally rolled out of the bottom line by grazing the post.
King Dong's shot was United's first shot on goal after 10 minutes.
Although he did not score, he shocked the Roma players in a cold sweat.
"Oops, unfortunately, King Dong's shot missed the post!"
Duan Xuan, who was sitting in the studio, sighed regretfully, which all Chinese fans understood.
Although the Roma players were shocked by King Dong's shot, they still pressed forward without reservation.
Pizarro advanced to the front court with the ball under the escort of De Rossi, and Yu Liang immediately pressed towards Pizarro.
In the first ten minutes, Yu Liang completed his task well, and the horizontal sweep brought great trouble to the Romans.
Pizarro saw Yu Liang approaching him, did not leave the ball at his feet, and immediately passed it to De Rossi, who was not far away. De Rossi does the dirty work of escorting, but he has good organizational skills in the midfield. He has a great vision, accurate passing, and a good long-range shot.
Yu Liang, who had run halfway, immediately turned around and ran towards De Rossi.
De Rossi saw Yu Liang rushing towards him, and did not let the ball stop at his feet, and passed directly back to Pizarro.
However, just as he passed the ball out, he found that Yu Liang did not run towards him, but directly between him and Pizarro.
"Beautiful interception, Yu Liang's judgment ability is really excellent, coupled with his constant running ability, no wonder he can be among the giants Manchester United and get a position as the main midfielder!"
After successfully cutting off De Rossi's pass, Yu Liang immediately made a diagonal pass to distribute the ball to the feet of Ronaldo on the right.
Cristiano Ronaldo faced Panucci on the right, with Roma having only four defenders at the back and midfield players returning quickly.
In the face of Ronaldo, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, Panucci did not dare to rush to press, so he had to block Ronaldo's continuous retreat to delay Manchester United's counterattack.
Panucci's defence bought the team time to defend, and De Rossi, who returned to the defence, immediately rushed towards Ronaldo. At the same time, Panucci also mentioned upwards very tacitly, and the two wanted to complete the bag.
However, at this time, Ronaldo moved, pulled the ball with his left foot and immediately changed direction, thinking that Ronaldo wanted to cut in, Panucci and De Rossi, who immediately closed towards the middle. After they had taken a lateral step towards the middle, Ronaldo pulled the ball back and feintmed. Just when Panucci and De Rossi were a little relieved, Ronaldo adjusted and crossed with his right foot to send the ball to the middle.
At this time, De Rossi and Panucci were ready to pack Ronaldo on the wing, Pizarro in the middle had not fully returned to the defense, and King Dong stepped forward to bring the two central defenders of the Roma team, Mex and Zivo, to the penalty area, and there was a gap in the middle of the front of the Roma penalty area. Carrick, who was inserted, did not make adjustments to the football, shot directly with his right foot, and the ball that flew out flew directly into the door of the Roma team. Although Doni made an immediate save, he could only look at the ball and sigh.
"The ball went in, Michael Carrick, received a cross pass from Cristiano Ronaldo, and scored directly with a long-range shot, Manchester United led Roma 1-0!"
Rumble!
Carrick's goal ignited the excitement at Old Trafford.
He made it 2-2 on aggregate and would have progressed to the semi-finals as long as the score remained until the end.
Although Manchester United once won the treble, the Champions League semi-finals were the best result in the Champions League in recent seasons.
When Carrick scored the goal, Ferguson cheered on the sidelines.
Gary Neville was then immediately called to the sidelines to make real-time adjustments to the tactics.
Unlike the excited Ferguson, Spalletti, who was standing on the sidelines, was dazed, and looked at the game for only 12 minutes.
Time is enough.
Spalletti, who walked to the sidelines, waved his hand forward.
Now there is only one way left for the Romans, and that is to attack! (To be continued.) )
