Chapter 682 Wa Bu She
Gao Xiaodong's passing route was too tricky. It wasn't until Maicon suddenly appeared at the edge of the penalty area that many fans realized how clever he was in passing the ball.
"Ah! A wonderful pass! There is no defensive player in front of Maicon! Shoot! Shoot!"
All the fans were nervously looking at the ball and Maicon, and only the commentator was roaring loudly.
When Maicon arrived, the ball happened to roll to the edge of the penalty area, and Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was also moving towards the near corner. However, Maicon had no choice but to shoot. Passing to other players may not be as good as his position. It's better to shoot him.
Maicon adjusted his steps and fired an angry shot into the upper left corner of the goal!
The distance is close and the ball is fast, leaving the goalkeeper with very little reaction time.
Van der Sar flew out almost subconsciously. He thought he should be able to touch the ball, but Van der Sar's consciousness was still there and his body could no longer keep up.
Van der Sar's heart suddenly went cold as his hand didn't touch the ball.
Bang!
Just when Van der Sar was desperate, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out.
The ball flew towards Milito, and Milito only had to jump to head into the empty goal.
But this rebounding ball was faster and more unexpected. Milito had no time to jump up, so he could only subconsciously stretch his head to hit it.
Milito did not hit it, and the ball flew out of the penalty area close to his scalp, and was kicked out of the sideline by Scholes.
Milito covered his face in annoyance, and Maicon also stomped his feet in regret.
Only then did the Manchester United fans in the stands react. They almost gasped in unison. The two blows between Maicon and Milito almost scared the Red Devils Manchester United fans out of their wits.
Ferguson chewed gum so hard that the mineral water bottle was almost crushed due to nervousness.
The Champions League is so important that even a coach like Ferguson, who has been coaching for more than 20 years and has won two Champions League titles, is inevitably nervous.
Mourinho was almost bent by the goalpost, and he sighed with a wry smile until Milito failed to make a follow-up shot.
Such a great opportunity, it's a shame not to score.
This is the Champions League final, and one goal can almost determine the outcome.
Based on Mourinho's understanding of Ferguson, this attack did not kill Manchester United. Manchester United will definitely be more cautious in the future. It will be difficult to have such an opportunity in a short time.
When Inter Milan launched this attack, UEFA President Platini and Spanish Football Federation President Villar were walking to the box. The tense and wonderful moment made the two big guys forget to enter the box and just stood at the door to watch. It wasn't until the ball was cleared by a Manchester United player that he applauded and walked into the box.
In another box, Mendes proudly said to Florentino: "See, this is Gao Xiaodong's role. He plays a major role on both offense and defense."
Of course, Florentino has known Gao Xiaodong for a long time, but only if he can perform well in the Champions League final can he stand the test. Players who can't fight hard can't be called stars.
But Florentino just smiled and said: "It's only been five minutes, so don't be like the last Champions League final."
Mendes waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, it was just an accident. Xiaodong is a very smart player."
Inter Milan president Moratti also came to the stadium, but he did not sit in the box, but stayed with the Inter Milan players.
At this moment, Moratti, like ordinary fans, stamped his feet and beat his chest with regret, talking loudly:
"What a pity!"
"Only one centimeter missing!"
"Why can't it be lower!"
"What a waste of Xiaodong's wonderful pass!"
…
After the clearance, the shocked Manchester United players on the field did not dare to pull up the formation so quickly, and the pressing distance also narrowed. It seemed that they were preparing for a positional and protracted battle with Inter Milan.
Inter Milan was not in a hurry, so they slowed down their pace and fought a positional battle with Manchester United, waiting for their opponents to make mistakes.
In the Champions League final, facing a super team like Manchester United, Inter Milan was not prepared to eat up their opponents in one bite. Although they had an excellent opportunity at the beginning,
But for a cunning person like Ferguson, if you are too impatient, he will have a hundred ways to kill you.
The on-site commentator saw that the pace of the game had slowed down and couldn't help but praise: "They are indeed the two strongest coaches in the world. Even their tactical design and adaptability are similar. The two teams made a tentative attack at the beginning. Inter Milan Gained some upper hand.
However, after Maicon hit the goalpost, Manchester United immediately changed their tactics, slowed down the pace, defended the counterattack, and handed over possession of the ball to Inter Milan. This is to treat the other person with his own way, Mourinho They are not kind-hearted people. They have also slowed down their pace and are fighting Manchester United's counterattack. Now let's see who of the two masters can restrain the other. "
Positional warfare is not good for both Manchester United and Inter Milan. The forwards Rooney and Milito of both teams are not good at heading the ball, and they are not very good at grabbing points. The center backs of both teams are extremely strong, so they want to rely on long-term goals. It is difficult to pass the ball and cross from the wing.
But neither Manchester United nor Inter Milan are good at short-pass penetration. Manchester United plays an impact style, while Inter Milan plays a counterattack style. They both need space. If there is no space, it will be difficult for anyone to stand in the opponent's position. A gap was created in the defense line.
On Manchester United's side, their captain, right back Gary Neville, is a shortcoming.
Gary Neville is of course a great defender, but he is already 35 years old. No matter how great he is, he will still get old. His speed and reaction are much worse than before. Ferguson only valued stability when he allowed him to play.
During the positional battle, Inter Milan's winger Pandev had been trying to single out Gary Neville. However, although Gary Neville was old, he could not be easily bullied. Pandev had failed to single out Gary Neville several times.
Although Inter Milan's back line has no obvious shortcomings, Manchester United has its own new weapon, and that is Valencia.
Valencia was bought by Ferguson to replace Ronaldo, who moved to Real Madrid. Although his skills are far different from Ronaldo, his speed and explosive power are amazing, which can be used to deal with Zanetti.
Zanetti has rich experience and can block Messi's breakthroughs. However, Valencia does not play any tricks. They just use speed and do not make fake moves. They just use speed to break through. The only martial arts in the world is fast. Zanetti But there is no good way to do this. We can only let Valencia take a few more steps to prevent him from going down, betting that he will not cut inside.
Valencia really doesn't like to cut in and shoot like Robben, because his shooting skills are very poor, and he is called "Valencia" by Manchester United fans. He and the other one never pass the ball, only like to shoot, nicknamed "Nabu" "The same name as Nani is a sore point in the hearts of Manchester United fans.
Valencia was able to make two breakthrough passes at the beginning. Once Zanetti released him three meters away, Valencia's speed was of no use and Zanetti intercepted the ball twice.
When the game reached the 22nd minute, Valencia saw that Zanetti was still letting him go, so he gave up the bottom and dribbled the ball across to the penalty area.
Zanetti failed to follow up, Cambiaso intercepted and was passed over, and Valencia got out of the way and shot directly.
For good shooters, shooting from the edge of the penalty area is very dangerous. Cesar was ready to make a save, but Valencia fired an anti-aircraft gun and the ball flew several meters above the crossbar and directly into the stands.
"This kick!" Ferguson was so angry that he hammered his fist hard.
Five minutes later, Scholes made a long pass. Lu Xiaopang stopped the ball with his back and chest, used his strong body to get away from Samuel, and suddenly turned around and shot.
The shot was sudden, but the angle was a bit right, and Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar hit the ball to the wing.
This time Valencia used its speed to grab the spot and dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area.
Goalkeeper Cesar quickly blocked the near corner, and Samuel came over to press.
Valencia didn't wait for Samuel to arrive. He moved the arch of his foot and wanted to kick the ball to the upper back corner of the goal. However, the idea was good, but the arch of his foot did not catch the ball and the ball hit Samuel directly. The restricted area popped up.
Seeing Valencia wasting another opportunity, the Manchester United fans were speechless, especially when Valencia looked helpless and helpless, I was even more angry and wished I could boo him.
Ferguson misses Ronaldo infinitely now. If Ronaldo is still here, he is very likely to score one of these two opportunities. And if Valencia gives him four more such opportunities, Ferguson doesn't know if he can score one.
