Although Cristiano Ronaldo's goal turned the second half into garbage time, Ferguson's face did not show a trace of joy, on the contrary, his face was gloomy, giving people a sense of anger.
After the whistle blew at the end of the first half, he walked back to the dressing room with a gloomy face and a word.
With a big lead, the United players were in a very good mood and returned to the dressing room with a smile and a smile.
But when he saw Ferguson's gloomy face, the smile immediately froze on his face, and those who knew Ferguson well knew that this was the rhythm of anger.
After putting away their smiles, the players went about their own things in the locker room, those who replenished their energy were eating, those who drank water, those who went to the toilet, and those who did physiotherapy were treated by physiotherapists.
Ferguson stood in the dressing room and watched his players' every move, without any expression.
Because of Ferguson's gloomy face, the atmosphere in the dressing room was relatively dull, and it was not until the second half of the game was about to start that Ferguson spoke, "Everyone played well in the first half, I'm very happy that we were able to achieve this scoreline, but it wasn't enough, we were able to score 4 goals in 45 minutes, and others can too, so I hope you will continue to attack like this in the second half!" β
Ferguson's calm tone relieved the players who had been reminding them of fear.
They all smiled and talked there. Continuing to maintain such offensive momentum in the second half, isn't that the slightest disregard?
"However, I need to remind you to be resolute in my tactical arrangements when you are on the field! Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sending you to the reserves! β
As he said this, Ferguson looked at Carrick and Yu Liang.
In the last ten minutes of the first half, the reason why the Roma were able to create chances repeatedly was that there was a problem between Carrick and Yu Liang.
There is a prejudice between Carrick and Yu Liang, and Ferguson knows it.
After all, the appearance of a person first blocked his opportunity to enter the giants, and then injured himself in training, and it is normal to have prejudices. If there is no preconception, it is not normal.
But Ferguson hopes Carrick will let go of that preconception.
So the purpose of saying this is to warn Carrick that if you have a preconception on the pitch, he doesn't mind sending him to the reserves.
Of course, Carrick also understood what Ferguson meant, so after listening to Ferguson's words, he glanced at Yu Liang, and his eyes were full of gloom.
The second half of the game began quickly.
The players followed Ferguson's intentions and launched a series of attacks.
The Roma, who had expected a slowdown in the second half, were hit again less than four minutes after the start of the second half.
In the 48th minute, Rooney's shot from the left side of the penalty area won a corner kick for the team.
Giggs's corner kick was pushed out of the penalty area by the Romans who tried their best to defend, although Pizarro grabbed the ball, but when he just turned around, he was stabbed off by Yu Liang from the side, and the football rolled to Rooney's feet.
With Rooney less than eighteen metres away from goal, the Romans rushed towards him to stop his shot.
Rooney, who picked up his right foot, saw the situation, shook his ankle and sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area.
The retreating Ryan Giggs crossed with his feet straight away.
King Dong in the middle outflanked the goal, failed to kick the football, the football came directly to the back point, and Ronaldo, who was inserted at high speed, pushed into the net in the face of the incoming ball, and scored twice to help the team lead 5-0.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal brought the cheers of Old Trafford to a climax.
All the United fans shouted excitedly from the stands.
Ferguson, who has not yet sat on the hot ass, immediately rushed to the sidelines to cheer after Ronaldo's goal, and this goal has completely announced the end of the Romans' Champions League journey.
The wolf king of the middle circle bowed his proud head, and at this moment he was defeated, and he could not bring the victory back to Rome.
Roma fans who followed the players on their journey to Old Trafford were left with tears of grief after Cristiano Ronaldo scored his fifth goal. The team they are proud of is so unbearable in the Champions League.
But they are powerless to change the situation, with Italy's sluggish economy making it impossible for their owners to make bigger investments and to buy players for tens of millions of pounds like Manchester United. They can even spend a fraction of the money to buy a player to keep the team competitive. For a team that is second in Serie A, it is very cruel and very sad.
All the fans can do is support the team as much as they can, whether it's at the top or at the bottom.
The shout, gradually, emanated from the chests of the Roma fans.
Although the momentum is not huge, for the Roma players, it is like an oil lamp in the dark, which can illuminate their way forward.
Listening to the shouts of the fans, the wolf king gradually raised his head.
Yes, they were 5-0 down, they lost and their Champions League journey was over.
But the game wasn't over yet, and they couldn't afford to give it up.
"Hold your heads high for me! Yes, we lost, but the game wasn't over yet, do you want to go back to Roma with that scoreline? No, I don't promise, score, I need to score! β
As he rushed towards goal, Totti shouted to cheer his teammates on.
Yes, they need a goal.
They need goals to defend their dignity.
After Manchester United made a substitution, Roma went on the attack.
Everyone was desperately trying to get through the motions and hope to create a chance to score.
They worked tirelessly to create a good chance to score in the 57th minute.
Totti's constant retreat up front, and the constant cross-switching of Roberto Mancini and Williamsson finally disrupted the Manchester United defence. Rio Ferdinand and Brown have been pulled to either flank, with Carrick the only one left in the middle to keep an eye on Vucinic. After Totti and Pizarro shook off Yu Liang in succession, they dribbled close to the penalty area. Carrick hesitated for a moment, then left Vucinic beside him and rushed to Totti.
Halfway through Carrick's run, Totti struck the ball past Vucinic.
Vucinic, who was unguarded, adjusted a bit and shot directly on the line of the penalty area.
It was a shot that Roma fans had come to expect.
They don't need a win now, they just want to get a goal.
The ball rolled against the turf and towards the near post at great speed, and it looked like it was only a matter of time before the Romans scored!
Rumble!
When a big hand appeared on the rolling path of the ball, the United fans cheered in unison.
Edwin van der Sar became the patron saint of Manchester United, keeping out Vucinic's shot in front of goal.
'Beautiful, Van der Sar's magical save kept the goal. If the Romans want to score a face-saving goal, they need to work harder! β
Both of Roma's attacks were then denied by United's defenders.
Just as the Roma were working tirelessly for a goal, their goal was battered again.
After Ronaldo shook off two defenders on the right side of the front field, he crossed directly, the ball flew to the back point, Heinze stopped the ball, knocked back to the front of the penalty area, and Carrick, who was inserted, once again showed his long-range shooting skills, and the right-footed curling ball flew directly into the far corner of the goal, 6-0.
The Romans were again dealt a heavy blow.
The Roma before the heavy blow did not lose their fighting spirit, and they were still working hard for a goal.
Their efforts finally paid off in the 69th minute, when Totti pulled wide to receive a pass from Pizarro and crossed in a reflexive cross to De Rossi volleying home from the right side of the box to make it 6-1 and the Roma scored a face-saving goal.
The rest of the time has completely turned into garbage time, and Ferguson also took the opportunity to replace Ryan Giggs and King Dong with Richardson and Alan Smith. It was a sign of a noticeable slowdown in attack, but after the resumption of the game, United did not downplay their attacking momentum, and they went crazy and launched wave after wave of attacks inside the stadium.
Manchester United's approach completely angered the Roma.
They started to stop United's attack with crazy fouls at the back.
For a while, the scene was chaotic.
There was boos in the room.
In the 81st minute, Manchester United attacked.
After Ronaldo broke through on the right side to no avail, he knocked on the middle, Rooney split the ball with his back, knocked back on the left side of the retreating Dong Wang penalty area, and Evra, who assisted from the backfield, volleyed directly without stopping, and the football smashed on the inside of the post and bounced into the goal.
7-1οΌ
Manchester United scored again.
The goal completely discouraged the Romans.
In the ensuing game, the two sides did not make an offensive posture, and it was consumed until the end of the game.
In this way, Manchester United successfully advanced to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 8-3 over two legs. (To be continued.) )
