Chapter 934: God Rewards Those Who Work Hard

Conceding the goal was part of Manchester United's plan. After all, Inter Milan is the defending champion and they are capable of breaking Manchester United's goal.

But now they conceded the goal less than three minutes into the game. The one-and-a-half-goal advantage suddenly turned into half-a-half. If they conceded another goal, they would be eliminated. This broke Manchester United's plan.

When Manchester United was preparing for the game, there was no way they could have imagined conceding a goal at the start.

It would be fine if it was a normal goal, but this goal was still an offside goal.

This kind of goal makes people angry and angry.

After the game started again, the mentality of the Manchester United players could not remain calm. Coupled with the current score, Manchester United could no longer continue to defend and counterattack. To ensure promotion, they must continue to score goals.

Although at the beginning of the game, in order to make up for the shortcomings of the central defender, Ferguson sent two midfielders, Fletcher and Carrick, to defend. Gao Xiaodong and Scholes also had defensive tasks, but now the situation has changed. Inter Milan After scoring a goal, Gao Xiaodong's comprehensive technical advantages were immediately revealed. In the pre-match training, he originally focused on both offense and defense, but now Gao Xiaodong's energy is immediately focused on offense.

Carrick can also be regarded as an attacking midfielder. Although the current situation does not require him to participate in the attack, Carrick was also a little annoyed by Inter Milan's offside goal. He and Fletcher After saying that, he also stepped in to assist.

Fletcher also wanted to attack, but he was helpless. Today he is the captain on the field. He needs to show the captain's temperament and spirit of sacrifice. The team is still leading and cannot defend alone. Everyone rushes forward. He only Being able to stay behind and look after the house.

Even though Manchester United today does not have midfielders or wingers, Gao Xiaodong and Rooney can pull out wide. The two full-backs Evra and Rafael are also more offensive than defensive. The four of them launch attacks from the wings. , Scholes and Carrick moved forward from the center, which still put a lot of pressure on Inter Milan.

Although Leonardo made a tactical arrangement today to attack and score early, even Leonardo did not expect that his players would be so ambitious and lucky. Less than three minutes into the game, he scored Scored a goal.

After all, Leonardo is still young and does not have much game experience. After scoring the goal, he did not adjust the team's tactics and could still play according to the original tactics.

Inter Milan is a team that focuses on defensive counterattacks. The ability to control the ball in the midfield is not strong. The only ones who can dribble the ball are Sneijder, Pandev and Eto'o. Manchester United's quick attack soon left Inter Milan's veterans scrambling, and they had to make big moves frequently.

7th minute,

Gao Xiaodong suddenly ran from the wing to the midfield to steal Cambiasso who was holding the ball, and then passed the ball diagonally to Rooney.

Gao Xiaodong knew Inter Milan very well. He didn't dribble the ball, he just wanted to play fast and use fast breaks to press and wear down Inter Milan.

Rooney passed the ball past Chivu and cut across to the penalty area. Lucio quickly rushed over to cover.

Rooney did not take credit, he passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area to find his teammate Hernandez.

Hernandez directly pushed the lower right corner of the goal with the arch of his foot.

But at this time, Inter center back Ranocchia arrived in time and stretched out his foot to block Hernandez's shot.

At this moment, Manchester United needed to score. The midfielder pushed forward very resolutely. The ball flew out and fell right at Carrick's feet. Carrick could shoot it himself or pass it to Gao Xiaodong and Scholes.

Carrick had been away from the field for a long time and had no confidence in his long-range shot. He chose Scholes among the two passing points. He bypassed the defensive player with an arcing cross and accurately found Scholes. Sri Lanka.

Scholes didn't expect Carrick to give it to him. He had excellent long-range shooting skills, but he was old and lacked explosive power. He hoped that Gao Xiaodong would be the best one to shoot the ball.

But the ball has been passed, and Scholes can't pass it again. It would be too complicated to pass it again. That is Barcelona and Arsenal's style of play. Manchester United is simple and rough. Scholes met the ball and took another long shot.

Scholes pressed the ball well, and a half-high ball flew straight to the left side of the goal.

Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar showed a brave performance. He flew and pounced the ball to the wing.

At this time, full-back Chivu appeared in the right position. Seeing Rooney approaching at extremely fast speed, Chivu directly drove the ball towards the frontcourt with a big kick.

Chivu's kick was too powerful and the ball went straight out of the sideline, but his clearance also gave the ball to his teammates.

Although Chivu's kick was a bit outrageous, it finally gave his teammates some breathing time.

Manchester United made a clearance and the ball passed to the feet of Scholes. Now, under the pressure of Manchester United, all Inter Milan players, except the forward, went back to defend. No one came to press Scholes and gave it to Scholes. Enough time to observe and think.

Scholes observed Hernandez's movement. He passed through the middle. Hernandez broke into the right wing of the penalty area and shot, but the ball was blocked by Ranocchia and flew out of the baseline.

Manchester United won a corner kick.

Scholes is an old goblin. He knew that Inter Milan's lineup was mostly composed of veterans and deliberately wanted to speed up the game. He immediately signaled Gao Xiaodong to take a corner kick.

Gao Xiaodong also knew very well what the weaknesses of his old club were. He understood it, trotted to the corner flag area, and quickly drove the ball into the penalty area with one kick.

The ball failed to pass Lucio's head, and Lucio pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

At this moment, Manchester United's soldiers were pressing forward. Midfielder Fletcher grabbed the spot and passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong on the left.

Gao Xiaodong used his speed to get past Maicon in five steps, went down to the baseline, and swept the ball into the penalty area with a powerful kick.

Gao Xiaodong could no longer pass the ball with his foot, it was almost like shooting. Motta wanted to intercept the ball, but was a step too slow, and the ball flew from his feet into the penalty area.

Rooney and Hernandez still didn't touch the ball in the middle of the attack. Lucio and Ranocchia no longer dared to touch the ball. The ball flew past the goal and came to the right side of the small penalty area.

At this moment, Manchester United's right back Rafael has reached the penalty area. He pushed the ball into the empty goal from a small angle without being marked, but the ball was too fast. Rafael actually hit the ball into the sky within a short distance.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is already a great opportunity. Inter Milan fans dare not watch it anymore, while Manchester United fans are already ready to celebrate.

No one could have imagined that such a good opportunity would be kicked off the plane by Raphael.

The on-site commentator Andy Gray was very disappointed and said: "What a defender's footwork! It was so close and it flew over the crossbar. If it was an Inter Milan defender who kicked it, this would be considered a difficult clearance."

Raphael himself was also very frustrated. He made an apologetic gesture towards Gao Xiaodong on the other side of the court, indicating that it was his fault.

Gao Xiaodong waved back at him, indicating that he should quickly go back to defend because his opponent was about to take a goal kick.

Among the 11 players in Inter Milan's starting lineup, the average age has reached 30 years old. Although they need to score goals, they do not want to play too fast. Goalkeeper Cesar was not impatient when he took the goal kick, nor did he take the goal kick. Instead, Bigfoot passed the ball to full-back Maicon and slowly organized the attack, allowing Manchester United to come up and grab it.

Except for Scholes, Evra and Van der Sar, the Manchester United players are all in their prime, with strong athletic ability and good physical fitness. They are not afraid of only Eto'o, who has the speed to counterattack. When Inter Milan had the ball, they boldly pressed forward and forced their opponents to pass the ball long.

Inter Milan's ability to reverse the ball in the backcourt is not bad. Manchester United gathered five talents forward and forced Inter Milan to take a big kick. However, Motta's big kick was very good, and the ball actually found Eto'o at the front.

When Eto'o received the ball, he swung the ball to the side, trying to use his speed to penetrate Manchester United's right wing.

However, Eto'o is already 30 years old and is no longer the cheetah he was at Barcelona. Rafael has not been broken through by him.

Eto'o has good skills. Although he did not form a breakthrough, the ball was still firmly controlled at his feet. He dunked the ball back and observed Sneijder's sudden insertion into the penalty area.

Eto'o immediately picked up the ball and quickly passed it to the penalty area to find Sneijder who was advancing.

Inter Milan's passing and running cooperation was very tacit and secretive this time. Before Manchester United's two central defenders, Smallin and Brown, could react, Sneijder had already inserted into the penalty area from Smalling's side.

Seeing that Sneijder was about to grab the spot, Gao Xiaodong suddenly stepped in from behind and headed the ball to the wing.

Gao Xiaodong played for Inter Milan for a year and knew both Eto and Sneijder very well. When he saw Sneijder starting, he quickly followed and destroyed the ball at the last moment.

Although Gao Xiaodong's clearance was quite powerful, Evra still saved the ball near the sideline. He quickly moved forward along the sideline and penetrated into Inter Milan's half.

After Evra passed halftime, Inter Milan organized a defensive force. Stankovic blocked the ball on the left, preventing Evra from continuing to dribble forward.

Evra dunked everything and used his flexibility to get past Stankovic. He did not continue dribbling and then passed a cross to Scholes.

Now Inter Milan's defensive players in the center have returned. When they see Scholes receiving the ball, they immediately surround Scholes.

It was bullying that Scholes had no pace.

Although Scholes lost his speed, he had vision and experience. He found a connection with Hernandez in the crowd and quickly passed the ball to Hernandez.

Hernandez received the ball at the edge of the penalty area, quickly made a fake move forward, and then passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong who quickly penetrated from behind Scholes.

Gao Xiaodong adjusted his footing while running, rounded his thighs with his heels, and fired with a furious kick.

Gao Xiaodong's shot was not a cold shot, and the angle was not tricky, but his preparation for the shot was also very exaggerated, but he was extremely powerful and very fast. Goalkeeper Cesar fell to the ground and tried to block the ball from the baseline. , but the ball was too fast. Before Cesar could make a move after he fell, the ball hit his hand and bounced out.

This is very fatal, because when the goalkeeper pounces on the ball, he always pounces the ball to the side or the bottom line to prevent the opponent's follow-up shot, but this time it was passively ejected, and the ball bounced directly to the center.

After passing the ball to Gao Xiaodong, Hernandez quickly entered the penalty area. Even if Gao Xiaodong shot, Hernandez did not stop. He was very smart and looked for opportunities to make up for the shot.

God rewards hard work, and Hernandez's active running finally brought him rich rewards. The ball bounced just in front of Hernandez. Hernandez pushed the ball with the arch of his foot and sent it in. Empty door.

1:1

Hernandez scored a goal when Manchester United was very dangerous, equalizing the score and extending the total score to 3:2.
