Chapter 354: The Door Hole Is Wide Open
It will not be easy to play against Jose Mourinho's side, and Manchester United's record against Jose Mourinho's side under Alex Ferguson is not dominant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć In the Champions League, Jose Mourinho's Porto met Manchester United in the quarter-finals, beating Manchester United 3-2 over two legs and going all the way to the final to lift the trophy. As for the Premier League, Jose Mourinho's Chelsea can be regarded as the real bitter boss of Manchester United, not only taking away the league trophy from Manchester United, but Ferguson has never taken advantage of Mourinho's hands when the two teams met.
Perhaps this is the main reason why the media is negative about Manchester United's unbeaten record in all competitions whether Manchester United can equal Nottingham Forest's unbeaten record in all competitions, and it comes down to the emergence of Munirio.
Since Jose Mourinho stepped down as Blues manager, Chelsea have yet to win against Manchester United, whether in the Premier League or the Champions League. This shows how much of an impact Mourinho's departure can have on a team.
Over the past year, Mourinho has disappeared from the media, where his whereabouts are unknown.
When he returned, he was already the manager of Inter Milan. At a time when Juventus was paying off their debts over the phonegate affair, and with the AC Milan squad aging year by year, Inter Milan stood out in Serie A. Only Roma can cause them a little trouble on the way to the title.
Now that Jose Mourinho is the manager of Inter Milan, the quality of their squad has been taken to the next level. After 25 rounds of the league, they are at the top of the table with 17 wins and 5 draws.
Inter Milan, with a slumpy squad, have been trying to succeed in the Champions League in recent seasons. The last time I topped the European stage was in '98 (UEFA Cup). As for the Champions League, it happened in the 60s of the last century, it is very long ago, and their best result in European competition in recent seasons has been the quarter-finals.
This time against a formidable opponent like Manchester United in the quarter-finals, the Inter Milan players showed great confidence.
Ibrahimovic: "Our goal is the title, so at the moment I'm not interested in any opponent because I'm going to knock them out with goals, even if they're Manchester United! ā
Adriano: "Victory. There's no better result than ending an opponent's 39-game unbeaten run in all competitions! If there is, it's that I scored a hat-trick in this game. ā
Stankovic: "Manchester United are very strong, they haven't tasted defeat in a long time, it's very uncomfortable, I think they'll experience it soon! ā
Zanetti: "The opponent is very strong and it was a very tough game. But we still have a lot of advantages in this game and all we have to do is turn that advantage into goals in the game and win the game! ā
ā¦ā¦
The words of the Inter Milan players soon reached the ears of the Manchester United players.
Not to be outdone, the Manchester United players were there to choke back.
Cristiano Ronaldo: "Our goal is to win the title, a team like this that hasn't reached the Champions League final for dozens of seasons in a row is not worth paying too much attention to! All we have to do is beat them in the game and then we really look at the next opponent. ā
As the new World Footballer of the Year, Ronaldo's words are like a bombshell, poking at Inter Milan's sore spots.
As a member of the Manchester United team, Yu Liang also accepted an interview with the media, and compared to Ronaldo's remarks, he is not far behind.
"I hope that before the second leg of the match, they will be able to swear and say, 'We want to end their 43-game unbeaten streak in all competitions!'"
In other words, Inter Milan could not beat Manchester United in this game.
Originally, Ferguson's encounter with Mourinho was a game full of highlights, and now the confrontation between the players of the two sides has increased the attention of the game several times.
Who is stronger Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic? Can Adriano score a hat-trick? Can Manchester United equalle Nottingham Forest's record? Can Inter beat Manchester United?
In short, the game started in a hustle and bustle.
Manchester United, who won the kick-off, were the first to attack, and in less than a minute of the opening minute, the new World Footballer of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo showed his extraordinary ability. After dribbling the ball on the right side to shake off the gap, an acceleration shook off Milan defender Zivo, and the inside cut to the middle and chose to shoot hard. The powerful shot hit the angle too straight and flew directly into the arms of Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar.
Although the shot did not cause much trouble for Cesar, it still shocked the Inter Milan people in a cold sweat. The overwhelming boos immediately swept through the stadium, drowning out the cheers of Manchester United fans.
"Hoo ......"
Cesar, who was holding the football, frowned, quickly threw the ball to his teammates, and then secretly rubbed his somewhat numb hands.
If it weren't for the angle, he really didn't have the certainty to block Ronaldo's shot.
When Cesar tossed the ball to his teammates, there was a huge cheer from the Inter fans who wanted to cheer on the team's attack.
"Oh, damn it!" The Italian commentator shouted in dissatisfaction.
Stankovic's pass was intercepted directly by Yu Liang.
"Damn it, Dejan's passing is too casual!"
"You can't blame Deyang, it's this guy's judgment ability is too strong!"
"What a horrible guy!"
Manchester United fans saw Yu Liang break the ball and immediately burst into cheers.
But soon, their cheers were drowned out in the boos of the Inter fans.
In the boos, Yu Liang made a long pass and accurately found his teammates in the front court.
In today's game, Ferguson did not schedule Rooney to start, and the partners in the front line were Dimitar Berbatov and Cristiano Ronaldo.
After Berbatov unloaded the football, he immediately knocked Cristiano Ronaldo diagonally forward. After winning the ball, Rivas dodged away, and Ronaldo took the ball to the edge of the penalty area to shoot again. This time, a concentrating Cesar again denied Cristiano Ronaldo's shot and United were given a corner.
Giggs's corner found Cristiano Ronaldo in the box, and Ronaldo once again pressed Rivas to complete the header, which was again blocked by Cesar.
"Julio is good!" The Italian narrator roared excitedly.
Ronaldo, who was standing in the penalty area, shook his head helplessly.
The Inter fans in the stands, looking at Cesar, who had saved Ronaldo's shot three times in a row, immediately shouted: "San Giulio! ā
Cristiano Ronaldo is playing well here, and Ibrahimovic and Adriano are naturally not willing to be left behind, and they each show their eighteen martial arts, looking for a good opportunity to score in Manchester United's defensive line.
The back and forth of attacks on both sides showed a balanced situation, although the attack was fierce, but there was still a gap between the goal and the goal.
In the 27th minute, United won a free-kick in a great position.
Cristiano Ronaldo's right-footed free kick went straight to the goal, and after bypassing the human wall, the football drew an arc in the air and flew towards the goal at great speed.
Bang!
Just as all the Inter fans closed their eyes in pain, a crisp sound sparked their hope.
But when they opened their eyes and looked at the door, they closed their eyes again in agony.
Because a red figure was jumping high against the bouncing football, and Cesar, who was making a save at this moment, was lying on the ground, and the door was wide open...... (To be continued.) )
