Chapter 683: One Sword Seals the Throat

At the beginning, both Manchester United and Inter Milan made tentative attacks to see if they could steal one, but neither one could do so.

Then the two teams unanimously gave up the full-court press and fought with their opponents in the midfield. Both sides also created some opportunities. Inter Milan was more of a threat. That was because Maicon had better shooting skills than Valencia. In fact, The two sides are still in balance.

If you want to break the stalemate, you often need to look at the star's flash of inspiration or the opponent's mistake.

In Manchester United and Inter Milan, Rooney and Gao Xiaodong were the ones who could break the balance. However, during the game, the two of them encountered the tightest defense from the opponent. Gao Xiaodong didn't have many bright spots, but he had a very threatening pass, while Rooney was blocked by Lucio stared at him with almost no expression.

This made Rooney very anxious. Twenty minutes later, he began to drop back to catch the ball, intending to run and attack Inter Milan's defense. However, Inter Milan's Eto'o and Pandev actively defended, and Maicon and Zanetti were on both sides. Lu gradually found a sense of defense. Valencia and Park Ji-sung had almost no chance to cross from the wing. Rooney could only serve as a fulcrum to catch the ball when he retreated, and could not do anything else.

Inter Milan strangled both sides of Manchester United, but their own wing attack also lost most of it. Facing the threat of Valencia's speed, Zanetti did not dare to assist easily. Maicon was very active in assisting, but Ferguson was there He deployed Park Ji-sung and Evra on the left. Under the defense of these two people, Maicon's offensive threat on the wing was at most 50% of his usual level.

Inter Milan and Manchester United are not very capable of controlling the ball and passing the ball. In fact, they both focus on wing attacks. Now that the wings restrict each other, the focus of offense can only shift to the center.

Manchester United's main midfield organizer is Scholes. Carrick can output long passes in the backcourt, and can also hit the goal and grab points. Fletcher is mainly responsible for the defense of the midfield. Such a midfielder The field combination plus Rooney as a forward has enough impact, but needs space.

Mourinho saw this clearly. He kept the distance between the three lines very well and returned to defense very quickly after losing the ball. Especially Gao Xiaodong and Eto'o. Although these two are the core of the offense, they cannot return to defense against Bika. Rick and Fletcher both moved forward quickly, and Manchester United rarely had the opportunity to form a numerical advantage in the middle, or even achieve a balance of power.

Inter Milan's central attack is actually more technical than Manchester United's. Gao Xiaodong is in the middle, Eto'o from Barcelona and former Yugoslavian player Pandev are on both sides, and there is Milito from South America and Argentina in front. This kind of attack combination only needs smooth footwork. To be able to play beautiful offensive coordination, all they need now is patience, and Gao Xiaodong is exactly that kind of super precocious player. He is not anxious at all when facing a deadlock, constantly organizing and organizing in the midfield, waiting for opportunities to deliver a fatal blow to Manchester United.

In the 30th minute of the game, Maicon's cross was snatched by goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. He quickly threw it to Carrick. Carrick received the ball and turned and passed the ball in one go. Gao Xiaodong saw that he had no time to press and immediately turned and ran back.

Rooney fought for the top position, but Lucio played very aggressively. He rushed forward and beat Rooney and headed the ball away.

The ball was caught by Park Ji-sung, who took a few steps forward and immediately passed the ball across to Scholes.

Scholes saw that Inter Milan's two defensive midfielders were moving towards the center. He had no chance to penetrate the ball, so he gave up stopping the ball and directly met the ball and volleyed angrily.

Scholes is not tall, but he has strong feet and strong long-range shooting ability. In the season when he won the Champions League, he eliminated Barcelona with a long-range shot.

However, the angle of Scholes' long-range shot was not tricky enough, and Cesar flew to hit the ball to the wing.

Zanetti quickly went over to get the ball, and Valencia relied on his speed to rush over and steal the ball even when there was little opportunity.

An old monster like Zanetti is so experienced that it is too easy to deal with a stupid young man like Valencia. He dunked the ball toward the baseline and shook Valencia, who couldn't hold his feet.

This was a good opportunity for a counterattack. Zanetti turned around and immediately ran forward quickly along the wing.

Scholes immediately moved to the wing to defend Ferguson.

Fletcher and Carrick quickly retreated to protect their defense.

Zanetti wanted to go to the frontcourt and attack Gary Neville with Pandev, but Valencia was so fast. Just after Zanetti passed half-time, Valencia chased back.

Zanetti observed the frontcourt and saw that Carrick and Fletcher had not yet fully returned to their positions, so he passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong who was advancing quickly, and he stood on the wing to receive the ball.

Zanetti passed the ball a little late. When Gao Xiaodong received the ball, Carrick was already in position. Fletcher came over. Facing such a double line of defense, Gao Xiaodong and Milito could not penetrate.

Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly, gave up the fast break, passed the ball back to Cambiaso, and slowly organized the attack.

Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, saw all the Manchester United players return to his own half and press the Inter Milan players. Knowing that the opportunity to counterattack was lost, he hurried to the sidelines and shouted to Zanetti: "Young Master Dribble the ball! Play with speed!"

Zanetti waved apologetically at Mourinho. He realized that his choice just now was wrong. Today was his 700th game. He was a little greedy for credit. If he had given Gao Xiaodong earlier, there would have been more changes.

Facing Manchester United with all players returning to defense, Gao Xiaodong was not in a hurry and kept passing the ball back to the sides, mobilizing Manchester United's forces and waiting for Manchester United to make mistakes.

Manchester United has rich experience in competitions. They defended very tightly and did not give Inter Milan a chance. However, after Inter Milan passed the ball continuously, their defender also pressed near the center circle. Lucio saw the opportunity and suddenly dribbled the ball forward. Disrupted Manchester United's defense.

Scholes came to defend Lucio, but Stankovic was freed.

Stankovic originally played as an attacking midfielder. Later, as he got older, he played deeper and deeper, and finally became a defensive midfielder. However, he still had the awareness to attack. When he saw the opportunity coming, he quickly inserted into the penalty area. .

Lucio passed the ball to Stankovic. Since Stankovic's long-range shot was very strong, Fletcher had no choice but to block Stankovic, thus freeing up Gao Xiaodong.

Seeing Stankovic moving forward, in order to open up space for Stankovic, Milito ran towards the ribs, while Eto'o was also moving towards the penalty area, looking for opportunities to shoot.

Gao Xiaodong was worried that Stankovic would take a random shot and shouted for him to pass the ball back, but Gao Xiaodong was behind and Stankovic couldn't hear or see it at all.

However, Stankovic could see Eto'o and Milito, especially Eto'o, who was cutting inside, raising his hand towards Stankovic to ask for the ball, and Stankovic immediately passed the ball diagonally.

The Manchester United fans in the stands exclaimed that it would be dangerous if the ball was passed. Eto'o could shoot from a small angle after receiving the ball.

Fletcher was a step slower and stretched out his foot to intercept the ball without touching it, but Manchester United center back Vidic predicted Stankovic's intention. He fell to the ground to intercept and intercepted the ball.

At this moment, the midfield and frontcourt were in chaos, and there were a lot of people. Before Vidic could get up to get the ball, Gao Xiaodong rushed over. Vidic was anxious and swept the ball away with his legs, but he couldn't. The ball must also defeat Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong was one step faster. He rubbed the ball, jumped, and even dribbled the ball past Vidic.

When Vidic made a clearance, Manchester United was about to cheer, but before the cheers could be heard, Gao Xiaodong snatched the ball away again.

At this time, there were no defensive players in front of Gao Xiaodong, only the penalty area and the goalkeeper.

The faces of Manchester United fans were pale, and many of them covered their eyes and did not dare to look.

When the ball fell, it was very close to Gao Xiaodong's body, making it difficult to shoot. However, there were too many people inside and outside the penalty area at this moment, and there was not even one second to adjust. In a flash, Gao Xiaodong showed his true qualities as a killer, leaning forward. , the calf exerted force and pumped the ball to the lower left corner of the goal.

This time, Manchester United's penalty area was too chaotic. Van der Sar didn't need to grab the ball. He just watched from the sidelines and couldn't tell where the ball would go. It wasn't until Gao Xiaodong got the ball that Van der Sar hurriedly ran to the right side of the goal.

When Gao Xiaodong started to kick, Van der Sar had already blocked the ball to the lower right corner, but the ball was very fast, and Van der Sar's hit was between Van der Sar's foot and the goal post. It was impossible for Van der Sar to fall to the ground. I can only stretch my legs to block it.

If the ball was rolling normally, Van der Sar would have been able to block it, but the turf was stepped on unevenly and the ball bounced off the ground as it rolled. The ball flew right from Van der Sar's instep and into the net.

1:0

Gao Xiaodong sealed the throat with a sword and opened the scoring for Inter Milan.

Van der Sar was stunned, and sat down on the ground in sadness and despair.

The time from when the ball left his feet to when it hit the net was extremely short, but Gao Xiaodong seemed to have been waiting for a long, long time. Seeing the ball rolling in from the instep of Van der Sar, Gao Xiaodong excitedly lifted up his jersey and ran to the stands.
