The whistle blew, and the football was pulled back from the feet of Rooney to Scholes in the midfield, and from this moment on, the final of the Champions League officially began.

And from the moment the game started, the lineups of both sides melted everything at once. Parma's players gathered towards the midfield, and on the midfield line, a situation of encirclement and pressure was immediately formed, and Manchester United's players also suddenly began to intersperse the front field in an instant, Scholes's ball passed directly to the front, Rooney received the ball, and sent it to the right side, as if they didn't have any time to prepare, and they were about to start attacking.

"Manchester United started attacking from the very beginning of the game! It's surprising that Manchester United are playing with a ferocious attitude, are they trying to completely gain the upper hand from the start? ”

No wonder Lineker exclaimed, Manchester United played rather strangely.

Manchester United are admittedly strong, but they rarely have the kind of time they press with all their might. More often than not, they rely on full recovery and a quick counterattack by the three-headed monster of the frontcourt players. Ronaldo's extreme sharpening, Rooney's frequent pulling and Tevez's sacrifice have made Manchester United's tactics very tough, but no matter how tough they are, their style of play is still a kind of defensive counterattack as the main idea of play, and the current momentum of breaking the kettle as soon as it comes up is still very different.

But in this game, they did not hesitate, at the beginning of the game, their front three-headed monster immediately pressed up, plus a Hargreaves, they directly withstood Parma's backline, completely did not give Parma any chance to control the situation with a little bit of return passing, as soon as they came up, they wanted to completely suppress Parma's backfield, and wanted to score a goal at the beginning.

It's a strange situation, but it's surprisingly useful. Although Parma are a strong team, they still have less experience. In such a big scene, they were all a little excited, from the beginning of the game Manchester United immediately exerted pressure, so that Parma seemed to be a little caught off guard, the team also closed back, and even Cavani's position immediately pulled to the midfield position, and Manchester United's players immediately pressed over the middle line, trying to press Parma across the whole line, and scored as soon as possible.

Ferguson saw it very clearly: since you don't know how to kick the road, then, let you play with me. Pressing your backline, you're out of touch when you want to press, you can't get back when you want to keep the ball, and from the start, he's going to make Parma lose his autonomy!

Cristiano Ronaldo had the ball at his feet, he didn't speed up, first made a small bicycle movement, and then started to break through on the side. Obviously, playing in the Champions League final is just as exciting for him, and his emotions are just as excited.

And he immediately began a breakthrough, he went to the middle, one step out of the road, Grosso did not follow him closely, but he pressed him and had to make a parallel move towards the middle, and his direction was very dead, and in front of Ronaldo, Cannava Roma Jr. shoveled over, but Ronaldo pushed the ball to the right at his feet, avoiding his tackle, and he took a step to the left, a ball passed and threw him away, and then faced De Jong, he stepped on the ball under his feet, A Marseille maneuver that spun on the spot dodged De Jong and struck in front of the penalty area.

"Wonderful breakthrough!"

Ronaldo's breakthrough is quite exciting, the Champions League game, the beginning of a quick raid by two people, so that Manchester United fans are all calling, and on the field, Agger has moved towards his forward route, however, Ronaldo did not choose to continue to make a breakthrough, about three meters away from the penalty area, he suddenly raised his foot is a long shot!

The ball rolled off the pitch against the post, and the shot was missed, but it still made the whole United team excited at once.

'It's a shame that United couldn't score in the first minute.' Although Lineker's words are a pity, his tone is very happy, it seems that Manchester United's star is in good shape!

It's just that it seems that both sides are a little too excited. Cannavaro Jr.'s tackle just now was obviously a little reckless, and if it weren't for Ronaldo's reckless long-range shot, this goal would be really hard to say.

Fortunately, though, it was Manchester United who had the upper hand.

'We could see that United had the upper hand from the start of the game, they had a big enough advantage from the start, Parma were pressed to the back, but they didn't seem to have given up on counter-attacking completely. Now they are running in disarray, Edinson Cavani has dropped too hard, and Yaya Toure and Motta have not withdrawn enough, and even want to step in to score again for the team. Their midfield is now huddled together, they want to counter-attack, but they are afraid of conceding the ball, and it seems that right now, they just don't know what to do......

Lineker watched the game and also expressed his opinion, Parma seemed to be pressed by Manchester United as soon as they came up, and the method of cutting off the connection between the midfielder and the defender was very uncomfortable. In the midfield, Yaya Toure and Motta don't seem to want to admit defeat yet, both of them are inserting forward, and Parma's 4312 formation seems to be squeezed into a 4141 formation.

This is really a strange formation, are they so vicious?

Another Manchester United attack was being launched at this time, Carrick made a pass that was not difficult, and gave the ball to Scholes in front of him in the midfield, and Scholes received the ball while turning a half, and sent the ball directly towards Ronaldo in front of him without stopping. Cristiano Ronaldo had his back to the goal at this time, he didn't turn around, he directly plucked the ball and flicked it behind him.

This surprise came to everyone's surprise, and the football ran directly behind the backline. However, Rooney, who was behind him, did not expect such a pass, he was a step slower and Frei had already saved, holding the ball in his arms.

Ronaldo shook his fist hard, but didn't say anything.

"Quite a good pass, Manchester United showed a very high standard, so far in the game, we can see that the players on both sides have not been as young as they were at the beginning, they have begun to adapt to the game, Manchester United has shown us the strength of a top team in the game, I just hope Parma can also play at a good level, let's watch a good game......

As Lineker spoke, Parma's counterattack had already begun. Motta was carrying the ball to the back of the centre circle and suddenly, he slid the ball through the Manchester United midfield defence and towards Milito in front!

It's not a good chance, Milito is also very good, let alone the defender, he got the ball, it will be difficult to get rid of Hargreaves in the first place. However, after Milito got the ball, he didn't think about cutting it in, he kicked the ball behind him, Zabaleta who was standing on the side, and then ran up quickly.

Zabaleta immediately made another pass and sent the ball towards the front.

Manchester United pressed against Parma's back four, but they were unable to keep Zabaleta at bay. Hargreaves has to juggle defending in the middle, which gives him such an opportunity.

Up front, Milito received the ball on the edge of the box, but he was flanked by Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic – and although United pressed hard, they were not unguarded against Parma's counter-attacks, and their backline was not slow to recover at all. But Milito didn't stop the ball, he jumped up in the backrun, turned in the air, headed a little, gave the ball to Arshavin behind him, landed on his own, turned around again, and ran forward on his own. This series of movements was completed simply and smoothly, although it did not throw off Ferdinand next to him, but it gave Ferdinand no chance to fight for the top at all.

This seemingly simple pass made Ferguson's face on the sidelines suddenly change.

"Arshavin got the ball and there was no one around him to guard it! Vidic plugged in, behind the ball, Milito! ”

When Arshavin got the ball, there was no one around him. After he received the ball, Vidic stepped forward, but Arshavin immediately slammed the ball straight behind him, and the ball immediately went through Milito's feet!

Rio Ferdinand had already taken a step forward when he was plugging the ball and when Milito got his hands on it, he immediately raised his hand to signal that it was offside. However, the referee did not react - after Milito's header, he also took a step back, and he ran forward when the ball was passed, this time not offside. He did not run towards the small penalty area in the penalty area, but on the edge of the right side of the small penalty area, at a small angle, a right-footed push pushed directly towards the far corner!

Van der Sar had already rushed out of the box to intercept, but he couldn't have imagined that Milito would not attack into the small penalty area, but played such a shot from a small angle! He threw himself out, but he also knew that he couldn't reach it. He couldn't imagine that he was already a single knife ball, and he still kicked like this, is this a master of art who is bold, or an ignorant person who is fearless?

As it turned out, this is clearly the former. Milito's kick is close to the ground, the ball speed is quite fast, and the angle is even more tricky, Milito does not play one-on-one with Van der Sar, relying on his full confidence in his shooting skills!

The football rolled directly into the left foot of the goal, and within ten minutes of the opening minute, Manchester United's pressure did not result in a goal, but their own door was broken by Parma!

“gooooal！！！ Diego Milito!!! ”

Milito turned his head, and unexpectedly, instead of celebrating wildly, he smiled and picked up Arshavin, who was rushing over.

He was remarkably calm, as if scoring the opening goal in the Champions League final was a trivial matter.

"Parma scored a goal on the counter-attack, it's really unacceptable, what was the defense just now, why was there a vacuum in front of the penalty area, why did Arshavin have no one to defend?" Lineker hadn't seen it yet, but Ferguson was already on his feet on the sidelines. Unlike Lineker, he saw it very clearly.

Parma is not at all deformed by the squeezing of the midfield, they took the initiative to become a 4141 style of play, although because of the nervousness, they collected a little messy, but this is originally a tactical arrangement. Manchester United's two central defenders have been in parallel positions for many years, so Parma played a pretty good tactic: they relied on a Milito forward press, causing both defenders to shrink, and the retreating Cavani attracted Hargreaves' attention, Yaya Toure and Motta's forward entanglement of Scholes and Carrick, so that at the edge of the box, Manchester United formed a vacuum, where Arshavin got the ball, five steps away from the back line, and at that distance, There was no one to defend him!

The problem was big - Ferguson realized it right away. Since the beginning of this season, people have been praising his striker formation and praising his brilliant arrangement of the center forward position, but now he has only reacted, and in this game, he was counter-suppressed by the opponent with center forward tactics. And what makes him feel most uneasy is that Manchester United's two-back parallel position, how many years of tactics, can not easily move, this is the most afraid of being targeted by the opponent!

It's not a loophole, it's a technical knockout. It is precisely because of this that it is even more terrifying.

How long will Ferguson sit still? Parma gave the answer: in less than ten minutes, you have to get up!
