Chapter 272: Romance 4
"Alright, the players are back on the field! Well, the home fans actually let out a laugh to greet the Manchester United players, you can imagine how bad their performance was in the first half! β
Looking at the United players cheering in a circle, Andy Gray asked Martin Taylor: "Can you feel some of the changes in them?" β
Seeing Martin Taylor shake his head, Andy Gray continued: "Man, if you look closely, you will see that their temperament has changed dramatically, and now they are like a pack of hungry lions, and no matter how ferocious the wolves are, they can't resist the attack of a pack of hungry and crazy lions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info man, the show is about to be staged, wait and see! β
The changes that have taken place in the United players are also felt by the Roma players.
Compared to the laziness of the first half, there is now something called fighting spirit in the United players.
A team with a lot of fighting spirit, no matter what its quality, can cause problems, let alone Manchester United?
So Totti immediately gathered all the players together and formed a circle.
"I'm sure you can all feel the change in them, yes, they're full of fighting spirit right now!"
Now Totti has some regret that they were not able to extend the score in the first half.
However, in the first half, they tried their best to attack, but they were unable to extend the score. Now in the second half they will face a scrappy Manchester United side and the game will be even more difficult.
"They're definitely going to attack big, so we're going to play defensive counter-attacks!"
Totti has modified coach Spalletti's established tactics, which is not much taboo in European football.
After all, the players are the ones who know the most about what is going on the field.
"Faoch (Mancini Jr.), you stay at the front and wait for the opportunity to counterattack! Everyone else is back on the defensive! Come on, revenge! β
"Come on, revenge!"
After chanting three people, the Roma players returned to their respective positions.
As soon as the players from both sides were in place, the referee blew the whistle and the second half of the game officially began.
As soon as the whistle blew, Rooney returned the pass and rushed towards the Roma half with King Dong.
After Yu Liang received the ball in the backcourt and dodged Mancini's pressing, he looked up and glanced ahead.
There was no collision in the imagination, and the Roma team was huddled in their own half except for Mancini Jr., and Yu Liang knew that they were going to defend and counterattack when he looked at this posture.
was originally going to make a long pass, but now looking at the posture of the Roma team, Yu Liang gave up directly.
After smashing the ball and shaking off Mancini Jr.'s pressing again, Yu Liang dribbled the ball through the half.
Since you choose to defend and counterattack, then I will press you to play.
After Yu Liang passed half-time, Manchester United's defense also came up. At this time, Manchester United basically pressed the formation through the half, and Roma's defensive space was further compressed.
Although Roma were pressed within 30 metres by Manchester United, their dense defence caused a lot of problems for Manchester United's attack.
After the tentative attack did not find any holes in their defensive line, Yu Liang continued to conduct with his teammates on the periphery, controlling the pace of the game unhurriedly, and it seemed that he had no intention of attacking.
If it weren't for the score on the big screen, it would have given the illusion that Manchester United was ahead.
A 1-0 scoreline is not unacceptable for Manchester United. After all, the game is a two-legged game, and even if they lose this game, they can still get it back when they return to their home stadium.
But this score is a bit dangerous for the Roma team.
How big the difference between home and away is, they know all year round. Even if they win 1-0 today, will they be able to withstand Manchester United's attack back at Old Trafford?
Thinking that the past two visits to Old Trafford have been defeats by a large margin, the Roma players have a common answer in their hearts - no!
So they still need to score, and only if they score more goals in this game will they be able to win over Manchester United over two legs.
Therefore, when they saw that Manchester United was not in a hurry to attack, they were a little anxious in their hearts!
However, when the Roma players saw that captain Totti was still defending diligently at the back, they could only suppress their inner anxiety.
Fifteen minutes into the second half had passed, and the score remained unchanged. Over the past fifteen minutes, United have managed to finish just a couple of times through wide crosses and long-range shots from the outside. And the sporadic counterattacks of the Roma team did not even touch the door of Manchester United.
Martin Taylor sat in the studio, yawning and squeezing a few tears out of the corners of his eyes.
"Hey man, is that what you call a good show? Don't be funny, man, it's better to watch an old Chinese lady do tai chi! β
Andy Gray, who was ridiculed by Martin, watched the tepid game scene and was anxious.
But looking at Ferguson, who was sitting on the sidelines, he looked confident, and there was some expectation in his heart.
"Don't worry, man, it's not over yet, is it?"
"Well, I hope there's a good show!"
No sooner had Martin Taylor finished than the situation on the pitch changed.
The Roma players who were anxious to score goals finally failed to suppress the anxiety in their hearts, and pressed all over the line to start pressing.
At this time, Yu Liang, who had been slowly controlling the rhythm of the game near the center circle, suddenly got up and made a direct pass, and the football rolled into the penalty area from the gap between the two central defenders of the Roma team.
"Beautiful! Pretty! Yu Liang's pass was so beautiful, like a katana, it directly cut through the formation of the Roman team! β
Andy Gray, who had been expecting Manchester United's outburst, roared excitedly after Yu Liang's pass.
King Dong and Rooney, who had been active in the front of the penalty area in the second half, also took a few steps back when the Roma team pressed forward. When the two of them saw Yu Liang's pass, they immediately rushed into the penalty area against offside, forming a double ghost shot. Rooney, who caught up with the football, took advantage of the hesitation of the Roma goalkeeper to raise his foot and volley, and the football flew into the net with a whistling.
βgoalοΌ Wayne Rooney! β
Andy Gray roared excitedly in the studio.
"I saw the man, the show is on!"
"Offside, sir, he's in an offside position!"
When Rooney and King Dong were in an offside position, the Roma defenders raised their arms to signal that the two of them were offside.
But the referee didn't say anything.
So after Rooney's goal, Roma captain Totti still found the referee.
"No, it was a brilliant goal! I trust my partner, he's a very good referee! β
Listening to the referee's words, Totti opened his mouth and did not speak, and he accepted the result.
In the 61st minute of the game, Wayne Rooney's goal helped United tie the score at 1-1. (To be continued.) )
