The game resumes.

When United sent the ball, Old Trafford was in a tense rhythm again. Zhang Tiehan helped Roma score a goal before, but after all, the game had just begun, which did not have much impact on Manchester United's morale, in fact, except for C-Ronaldo was cut off, Roma launched several counterattacks, the game situation is still in the hands of Manchester United.

Manchester United did a pretty good job of possession on the ball.

They are not in a hurry to advance, they firmly control the football at their feet, pass the ball quite beautifully, pass back when they see no chance, launch a surprise attack when they have the opportunity, and occupy the initiative on the pitch in this way.

This made Rome quite passive.

Their tactics are to attack quickly, to play quickly on the counter-attack, and when you meet a strong team like Manchester United, who are good at controlling the ball, it is difficult to play your own rhythm, obviously Ferguson knows this very well, he has studied Roma's tactics, and the tactics used in this game are just enough to restrain Roma.

Manchester United don't just keep the ball, they also play sharply in attack, they are not conservative at all.

Scholes has been in the Roma half, Fletcher is often forward, plus two wings C-Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs, Manchester United's midfield can easily suppress the Roma midfield led by Totti, the midfield forms a press, coupled with Manchester United's strong backfield, whether it is fighting or advancing head-on, Manchester United has a considerable advantage.

……

'Manchester United have been solid in attack and have had two shots on goal in just five minutes since the game restarted, while Roma haven't had a single shot on goal, not even a single threat into the box.

'You can see that United are not in a hurry to equalise, even if they have a lot of young team-mates at the moment, such as Fletcher. Like C-Ronaldo and Rooney, but their tables are also quite calm......"

Alfi talks about Manchester United.

However, if you listen to what he said, I guess the Italian fans will be quite unhappy, 'Manchester United have a lot of young players, such as Fletcher, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney'...... It's better to say that Fletcher, after all, Fletcher is not very famous in comparison. But although C-Ronaldo and Rooney are young, they are already world-class players.

According to Alfi, Rome could only hide his face in shame.

But it can also be seen from this that Manchester United has a strong squad, only three young players, two of whom are world-class stars, and Fletcher has also been in the first team of Manchester United for two years, and his appearance has been quite calm, so he can get Ferguson's trust.

Other players, like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes. Including Silvestre at the back, they are all very strong players, and they are all upright to play, even if they are slightly weaker than Chelsea in the league, but in terms of squad, they are definitely a world-class team, and they are also quite mature teams.

Rome was far worse by comparison, which was the main reason why Rome was suppressed.

Roma front. The only ones who are really calm are Totti and Montella, and in the league Drinel has to send those young players with an annual salary of 10,000 or 20,000 euros. In contrast, Cassano has nothing to say about calm, he can only be said to be a good young star.

Now the Roma team on the field is mainly calm, and at the same time has lost some flexibility, such as Del Vecchio and Perrotta in the backfield, the two can only be decent in defense, and the offensive side is a lot worse. In handling the ball, there is a noticeable loss of trauma.

This makes it difficult for Rome to play any creative counterattacks while being passive.

Manchester United, on the other hand, seized the opportunity to keep attacking, but fortunately, Roma defended fairly well for a long time. Only then did he hold the goal, but if the game continued like this, it was a matter of time before he conceded the goal, and in the Roma coach's box, Drinel couldn't sit still for a long time, and he came to the sidelines and kept shouting to remind the players to pay attention to the position.

A little old man, waving and yelling...... It's pathetic.

It's just that the players on the field of Manchester United will not have any sympathy, their attack is still very strong, round after round, they seem to treat Roma as a small team, the whole formation is pressed up, and an offensive drill is carried out around the Roma half.

In the thirtieth minute, the game was already like this.

……

Since the goal, Zhang Tiehan has also been looking for opportunities, but the team has become more and more passive, and later he had to go back to participate in the defense.

He hopes that C-Ronaldo will break through again.

It's a pity that he underestimated the IQ of C-Ronaldo, this guy is obviously a lot more sensible, and he no longer breaks through by himself, especially when he sees Zhang Tiehan, he immediately passes the ball, for which Zhang Tiehan also said, "Scared? ”

C-Ronaldo can only ...... Turn around and walk away.

He has nothing to say in this regard, and it has no effect on Zhang Tiehan to glare, he just can't get past Zhang Tiehan, this is a fact, and even when C-Ronaldo faces Zhang Tiehan, there are some psychological shadows.

But Zhang Tiehan couldn't do anything.

Manchester United's cooperation is quite good, although he has a strong ability to steal one-on-one, but often Manchester United players will not give him a chance, he forced to rush over, Manchester United players passed the ball directly, one by one passed the ball, even if he was fast, he was not fast enough to get the ball.

Zhang Tiehan's participation in the backfield defense does not play much role, he can at most be a midfield meat grinder, acting as a barrier for Roma's defense, creating some trouble for Manchester United's attack, but in fact, the trouble is not big, Manchester United only needs a forward pass to skip his position.

Soon Zhang Tiehan decided to go back to the front.

Participating in the backfield defense did not play a big role, and let Roma's counterattack play badly, which was really worth the loss.

He is not the kind of player who can dribble the ball from the back to the front, and it is difficult to play anything without his frontcourt opportunities, but without Zhang Tiehan in the frontcourt, even Manchester United's midfielder Silvester dares to insert the attack unscrupulously.

……

Manchester United's attack was quite solid, steady and attacking at the same time.

The core of their midfield is Paul Scholes, who is a player of Manchester United's 92 golden generation, he plays as a central midfielder, and has been quite solid on the table, and has been the main force in Manchester United's midfield for nearly a decade, he is 30 years old and in quite good form. With 27 starts for United this season, 11 assists and five goals, he is an important player in United's midfield.

It is also difficult for the current C-Ronaldo to shake Scholes' position, so C-Ronaldo can only play as a full-back, and Scholes is the core of the midfield.

Scholes' role is unquestionable.

His passing is penetrating, although technically not as good as Totti's. But he's more physically fit and more impactful, and every time Paul Scholes gets forward, he can not only pass the ball, but also have a good long-range shot, and by the beginning of the game, he has two long-range shots, one of which hit the woodwork.

This time when Paul Scholes handed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo. He stepped forward again.

C-Ronaldo received the pass, shook off the Roma full-back with the ball, glanced at the penalty area and crossed directly.

Wayne Rooney is in the box!

When the ball flew over, Rooney rushed forward and did not choose to shoot at the ball, but gave his head to Scholes on the left, no one expected Rooney to choose to pass, when Scholes received the pass. He didn't even have a defender around him.

Scholes doesn't stop the ball and volleys straight away!

Boom!

The ball goes straight to the Roma goal. Goalkeeper Pellizzoli did not react at all.

……

"Paul—"

"-Scholes-" Old Trafford was boiling!

In the 37th minute, Paul Scholes scored an equaliser with a volley, and Alfi also praised this from the bottom of his heart, "Beautiful volley! Paul Scholes is thirty years old, but he's still a big player at Manchester United! He helped United equalise! ”

"When Rooney jumps. No one could have imagined that he would pass the ball. Wayne Rooney has been at United for less than a season, but it seems that he and his team-mates are already working well together. ”

'It's a big goal for Manchester United, who have always had the advantage on the pitch, but it's easy to put pressure on the players when they are disadvantaged. But now they don't have to worry, Manchester United equalised, and they will play much better in the next game. ”

Alfeu's comment was very subtle

The rest of the England commentators were very direct, believing that the next game would be Manchester United time, and that Roma would not have a chance given the strength of United's previous appearance.

'Roma were lucky to score a goal and they were lucky.

'It's Manchester United time and it's up to us to score a few goals.

'It's been a success for Roma to score away goals, it's difficult for them to keep the net, but as long as they don't concede too many goals, they still have chances.

"Manchester United fans can rest easy."

The camera pointed to the Manchester United coach's box, only to see coach Alex Ferguson with a light smile on his face, looking at the game very relaxed, judging from the expression on his face, the old jazz's opinion is similar to these commentators, and the next should belong to Manchester United time.

But the Roma players don't think so.

Manchester United are playing well, but they are not without a little chance, such as Zhang Tiehan, who is also thinking about the game and what to do to have a chance to score.

Manchester United's defence is solid, it is not easy to find opportunities in the advance, as soon as he arrives in the front, there will be a dedicated defender to come and mark, and he is also a little unable to show it, not to mention, Roma do not dominate in midfield, and there is very little support from teammates up front.

A better chance, then, is to fight back.

Defensive counterattack?

Maybe...... But at least get through the first half.

When the game started again, Zhang Tiehan also returned to the backfield to participate in the defense, he knew what he needed to do now, that is, to defend, to defend hard, and strive to drag the score until halftime, and in the second half, they had more chances.

With Zhang Tiehan in the backfield, Roma's defense was much more stable, but it was still dangerous under Manchester United's attack, but fortunately, the Roma players worked hard again and again to resolve several dangerous situations before they held the goal.

Time passes slowly.

Finally, with the referee's whistle blowing, the first half of the game ended, and the two teams entered the half-time break, and all the Roma players breathed a long sigh of relief, the game just now was too difficult for them. (To be continued......)
