Chapter 1058: Refraction to Equalize

In the current Manchester City team, Gao Xiaodong still can't command Scholes and other veterans, but as soon as Ferguson speaks, the veteran players immediately seem to have received an imperial edict and start to follow the frontcourt players to press the players who receive the sideline ball.

Barcelona's passing and cutting in sports is unmatched in the world, but they are no match for Manchester United physically. Alves threw the ball to Xavi, and Gao Xiaodong directly pushed Xavi to the side and stole the ball.

Harvey wanted to fight back, but Gao Xiaodong blocked Harvey at a distance with one arm, unable to get close to Gao Xiaodong's body.

Gao Xiaodong didn't dare stick to the ball in the crowd. Facing the attacks of several Barcelona players, Gao Xiaodong knocked the ball back with his heel and passed it to Scholes who came over to assist.

Gao Xiaodong's heel attracted a burst of warm applause from Manchester United fans. Surrounded by the crowd, it was not easy to spot the players behind him.

Scholes is an old man and handles the ball very neatly. Gao Xiaodong passed the ball over and he directly hit a long pass behind the Barcelona defender to find Rooney who was advancing forward.

At this moment, Pique and Mascherano were still paying attention to the wing. When Scholes made a long pass, they quickly turned around. At this time, Pique obviously couldn't keep up. Mascherano Rooney was also left behind.

Seeing that Rooney was about to go to the meeting alone, Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes rushed out. He jumped high before Rooney and headed the ball back into Manchester United's half.

The ball fell right in front of Fletcher. At this moment, goalkeeper Valdez and Rooney collided with each other and had not yet gotten up. However, Fletcher did not dare to directly lob the goal. He planned to stop the ball with his chest and then lob the goal, but it was too late. It was too late, Messi arrived immediately and stood in front of Fletcher.

Fletcher had no choice but to turn around, protect the ball and pass it to his centre-back Ferdinand.

Ferdinand's long pass was very good. When he saw Valdes getting up, he immediately lobbed a long-distance shot towards Barcelona's goal.

Ferdinand's long pass was good, but the distance of more than 60 meters from the goal was still too far for him, and the ball missed the crossbar and flew towards the stands.

Gao Xiaodong shook his head regretfully and thought to himself, didn't he buy lucky points? Why is the ball still playing like this? If it were me... Gao Xiaodong hehey twice and stopped talking.

Valdes took the goal kick and Barcelona continued to control the ball in the backcourt, looking for loopholes in Manchester United's defense.

This time Manchester United did not wait for Barcelona to attack. The frontcourt players led by Gao Xiaodong quickly stepped forward to press. Manchester United's midfield and back line also followed suit.

Not giving Barcelona a chance to penetrate in the midfield.

Barcelona did not expect that Manchester United would still have such good physical fitness at this point. Forced by Manchester United to no longer pass the ball, Valdes drove towards the frontcourt with a big kick.

Manchester United did not expect to be able to steal the ball in the frontcourt and launch an attack on the spot. Forcing Barcelona to use the offensive method they are least good at is the result Manchester United wants most.

Villa, Messi and Pedro were no match for Ferdinand and Vidic in the high-altitude ball. The ball was easily grabbed by Vidic, who headed the ball to Scholes.

Scholes is now responsible for the organization of the midfield, and Barcelona has also stepped up its pressure on him. Before Scholes could stop the ball, Iniesta rushed over, preventing Scholes from easily launching a long attack. pass.

The Barcelona forward was not idle when Iniesta was pressing. Villa quickly ran towards Fletcher. Messi and Pedro pressed the other two Manchester United players and did not give Scholes a pass.

I have to say that Barcelona is also very good at pressing. This time, Scholes was forced to pass the ball directly to the sides and back.

Scholes didn't have super glasses, so he didn't dare to pass back easily for fear of being intercepted by his opponent for counterattack, so he could only pass it across to Nani on the wing.

Nani was full of energy after he came on the field. At the same time, because he was not allowed to start in this final, Nani was very unconvinced. This time he wanted to show off his performance. He took the ball and advanced forward along the wing.

Nani's skills are really good and his physical fitness is good. He passed two Barcelona players on the wing and brought the ball to the side of Barcelona's penalty area.

Although Nani passed two players, he was still a little slow after all. When Nani reached the side of the penalty area, Barcelona right back Alves finally returned to defend and grabbed Nani from behind.

Nani was not careless. He turned around and got rid of Alves' steal.

However, Nani is now hitting more and more players. After avoiding Alves' press, Nani can no longer even cross the ball into the penalty area and can only pass back.

Nani passed the ball back to Evra. Evra saw Rooney starting to penetrate the opponent's penalty area. He immediately looked for Rooney with a long kick, allowing Rooney to attack Barcelona's defense again.

Barcelona had just been charged and almost lost the ball. This time, Pique didn't dare to be careless. During the run, he turned around and tried to push the ball back.

However, such a difficult move was too difficult to exert force. Pique did not hit the ball far, and Gao Xiaodong rushed up again to grab the ball.

In this position, Barcelona did not dare to be careless and came with heavy troops to surround Gao Xiaodong.

In this position, there is no point in taking a free kick. Gao Xiaodong looked at the shooting range and wanted to test whether his feet were smooth. When he stopped the ball with his chest, he deliberately stopped one meter forward and then followed closely. He went up, raised his thigh and kicked hard towards Barcelona's goal.

Already reaching the 30-meter area, Barcelona players did not dare to let Gao Xiaodong kick at will. Busquets was young and had a high level of intelligence. When Gao Xiaodong got the ball, he blocked it to prevent Gao Xiaodong from taking long shots.

Busques was too active. When Gao Xiaodong shot, he quickly stretched out his foot to block the shot. The ball hit Busquet's foot and flew towards the Barcelona goal.

In this position, Gao Xiaodong wanted to volley hard and rely on his strength to win, but Busques blocked it and the ball went directly to the upper left corner of the goal.

Valdez was already ready to make a save. The ball changed direction and flew into the dead center. Valdez had nothing to do. He could only stand there and watch the ball go into the net.

2:2

Gao Xiaodong's long shot helped Manchester United equalize the score.

After scoring the goal, Gao Xiaodong was extremely excited. He raised his arms high and ran towards the fans who were reveling for him.

Half of the stands turned into a sea of ​​red. Manchester United fans shouted Gao Xiaodong's name crazily, venting their ecstasy.

Ferguson was drinking water. At this time, he threw down the mineral water, clapped wildly and ran to the sidelines.

Guardiola and Barcelona fans were very frustrated. They felt something was not good when they hit the goalpost continuously. Unexpectedly, the premonition came true. Manchester United finally scored and evened the score for Barcelona.

In the VIP box, all the Glazer children except Edward stood up and cheered and applauded, sincerely appreciating Gao Xiaodong's goal that turned the tide.

Almost all the commentators on the scene were cheering: "High, high, high...goalgoalgoal...

"Gao Xiaodong scores a goal! Manchester United equalizes the score!

"Gao Xiaodong scored! 2:2! Manchester United got rid of their passivity, and now the pressure is on Barcelona."
