Chapter 1056 Decision
After Messi scored, he kissed the team badge and ran to the stands to celebrate with the extremely excited Barcelona fans.
Guardiola excitedly rushed out from the coaching bench, applauded fiercely on the court, and shouted: "Well done! Beautiful! Well done Messi!"
The Barcelona players and coaches on the bench also rushed out of the stadium, shaking their fists and roaring at the stadium, venting their ecstasy.
The Manchester United players were stunned by this goal. They stood on the field with disappointed faces and stared blankly at the Barcelona people celebrating, especially the veteran Edwin van der Sar who was about to retire. He actually kept tilting his body to save the ball. .
The old coach Ferguson on the sidelines was so shocked that he leaned back on his seat when he scored, because this goal was different from the first half. When they conceded the goal in the first half, Manchester United still had a lot of time, and there was still a lot of time. Detailed adjustments can be made at half-time, but right now, he only has three substitutions.
Sky Sports' on-site commentator Andy Gray, of course, prefers his own country's team. He said with disappointment: "It seems that the Barcelona people are going to succeed in revenge. Messi's goal made Barcelona touch the trophy with one hand. In the first half, Manchester United still had the physical ability to fight for the whole game. In the second half, they have lost this ability. At this stage, Barcelona's hypnotic ball control method cannot be broken. When counterattacking, Barcelona has Villa, Pedro and Mei in the frontcourt. West, Xavi and Iniesta passed the ball, and Manchester United, which was fully attacking, could not block their shot."
In the VIP box, Efram's face turned gloomy again. Even a ball-blind person knew what losing the ball at this time meant.
Edward couldn't help complaining: "We conceded the ball again. Didn't Ferguson say this is a championship-level defense? If I had known we were going to lose, I wouldn't have come to London. It would be better to go to Hawaii for vacation."
Emma. Watson couldn't help but said: "Manchester United may not lose, they have recovered every loss they lost."
Joel also scolded: "Edward, don't let your enemies destroy your own prestige. There is still a long time and anything can happen."
Edward was not convinced and said: "What can we do to reverse the situation? It's always the Barcelona people who are attacking, and Rooney is almost going to be a defender."
Joel said: "What do you know? We still have three useless substitutions. Scholes, Berbatov, and Giggs all have the ability to change the situation of the game."
Edward sneered: "To change the situation of the battle, they must be over a hundred years old together. Don't tire yourself out."
Joel was choked and had nothing to say, because Manchester United's substitute strength was indeed a bit shabby. They were okay against domestic opponents, but it was too difficult to use them to reverse Barcelona.
Gao Xiaodong began to consider whether to use his special points.
Previously, Gao Xiaodong did not want to use his special points. These special points were too useful and difficult to obtain. Gao Xiaodong believed that after he was promoted to an S-class star and transformed his body, he had many skills and could compete with Barcelona.
However, facts have proven that Barcelona has become stronger this season and their cooperation is more tacit. Even the star Gao Xiaodong cannot compete with Barcelona.
However, Gao Xiaodong still did not use the special points immediately. He wanted to wait until head coach Ferguson changed his lineup to see the effect.
Manchester United's first start is not intended to play the whole game. The purpose of this first start is just to consume. Manchester United's main attack time is after the change of formation in the second half.
Ferguson's adjustment was very decisive. After Barcelona scored, he immediately put Scholes and Nani on the field who had started to warm up in the second half, replaced Park Ji-sung and Hernandez, Rooney played center, and the formation became 433. .
Manchester United arranged this lineup, Fletcher was responsible for defense, Scholes was in the center and assisted in defense. Gao Xiaodong's defensive tasks were greatly reduced, and he was mainly responsible for attacking the penalty area.
The impact of this lineup is unparalleled, but the defense is much worse. After all, Rooney often returned to the midfield in the first half. Gao Xiaodong's defensive and offensive tasks are half and half. Now after Gao Xiaodong attacks the penalty area, if Barcelona counterattacks, he There is no way to go back.
Substituting players was like changing swords, and Manchester United's offense immediately posed a threat to Barcelona's goal.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Scholes made a long pass to Valencia, trying to attack Barcelona's wing.
Abidal used his height advantage to push the ball back to the midfield. He wanted to find Xavi, but Gao Xiaodong accurately judged the ball's landing point. He had an absolute advantage when fighting Xavi for the ball and directly squeezed Xavi tipped the ball to Rooney.
Rooney passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong under Pique's close defense. Gao Xiaodong received the ball horizontally, avoided Busquets' steal, then dribbled past Mascherano laterally, and then kicked the ball towards the goal. .
Although the time and space for exerting force was very small, Gao Xiaodong's calf force was still terrifying, and the ball flew straight to the left side of the goal like lightning.
This was a high-quality shot, but Valdez was at his peak and was well prepared for Gao Xiaodong's shot. He jumped up and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.
Manchester United got a chance for a corner kick. Scholes's corner kick did not go over Pique's head and was pushed out of the penalty area.
Fletcher grabbed the spot, and facing the swarming Barcelona players, he hoisted the ball into the penalty area again, but this time the ball was grabbed by Valdes.
Valdes quickly threw the ball to Alves, and Alves shook off Nani and advanced along the wing.
Gao Xiaodong quickly made up the side to intercept Alves.
Alves passed the ball across to Busques. Busquet did not wait for Rooney to press and passed it directly to Xavi. Xavi found Messi with a through ball.
Messi's personal ability is too strong, and it is very scary for him to get the ball. The Manchester United center back did not come back, and the full-backs Fabio and Fletcher, who were behind, rushed towards Messi to prevent Messi from dribbling the ball into the penalty area. .
Messi did not stick to the ball. He found Pedro with a diagonal pass. Pedro quickly took the ball to the side of the penalty area and crossed to Villa.
At this moment, there was no defensive player three meters away from Calabash Villa. Villa pushed the ball easily with the arch of his foot and hit the ball to the lower right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar didn't have time to fall to the ground. He stretched out his foot to block it, but this was also a step too slow and the ball rolled past his feet.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the ball, and the atmosphere was almost suffocating.
If the ball is scored, the final will be decided, and it will be almost impossible for Manchester United to regain the score.
Manchester United was lucky, but Villa was still a little wary of Van der Sar. The ball was too angular, and the ball flew out of the baseline against the outside of the goalpost.
"God bless!"
"Too dangerous!"
"It's scary!"
The Manchester United fans in the stands had a rare breath of air at this time. Everyone was frightened just now.
Barcelona fans sighed, it was a pity that such a good opportunity was not scored.
Gao Xiaodong made a decisive decision at this time and used the special points to buy a luck point.
Because the situation is already very clear, maybe Manchester United's offense can break through Barcelona's goal, but Manchester United can't resist Barcelona's counterattack. If Barcelona scores another goal, it will be useless to buy luck.
