What made him happier was not Barcelona's performance, but Esteban Cambiaso's transformation...

What he likes most about Cambiaso is that he is very obedient most of the time. He criticized Cambiaso's performance in the first half during the break, Cambiaso did make a change in the second half.

He no longer let himself run around between offense and defense. From a certain perspective, he learned to "play football while standing". Ferguson always emphasized running and playing football, but there were exceptions. As a midfielder, he hoped that his organizers would be as strong as generals and be more calm.

And as a midfielder, there is really no need to charge every time. Most of the time, they need to launch an attack directly from the backcourt. Learning how to judge the situation on the field is something Esteban Cambiaso must do.

Manchester United directly threatened the Barcelona goal attack three times, one of which was Cambiaso directly launched, and the other two times were Cambiaso indirectly launched. One of his direct passes from the ribs to Cristiano and Ronaldo made a chance to shoot. Although it was blocked by Valdes, Cambiaso's direct pass, which was thirty meters long, left a deep impression on people.

At that time, Cambiaso was still in the middle circle, and Manchester United turned from defense to offense. If he continued to lead, Barcelona's defense line would be organized quickly, so he would have no better way except crossing. At that time, he looked up at the front and found that Barcelona's defense line was still retreating and did not have time to organize a defensive formation. Although Cristiano Ronaldo was cruising on the side, there was enough space in front, at his speed...

He decisively passed the ball directly from the center circle to the ribs between Barcelona central defenders Milito and Puyor.

With his strength, the speed of the football rolling is no doubt, just like cutting butter from the knife, passing the football through between the two defenders of Barcelona. There is an empty ** ahead, without Barcelona players, and without Manchester United players.

Just when people thought it was a pass-through missed ball, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared behind the entire defense line as he ran at high speed, and he received the ball!

The next shot was a shot without hesitation, but unfortunately he was too pursuing strength and was too straight and blocked by Valdes.

But there were still bursts of applause from Old Trafford, both for Cristiano Ronaldo and Esteban Cambiaso.

Even Ferguson, who was off the court and Jiang Feng in the box, saw this penetrating pass like the scalpel, couldn't help but stand up and applaud Cambiaso.

If Cambiaso just now sent the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo's feet, then Barcelona's Pujol will be happy to fight Cristiano Ronaldo one-on-one, and Manchester United's offense will be forced to a dead end. The ball passed to the front of the offensive player seems to have dug a diversion channel leading to the downstream for a pool of stagnant water, and the entire attack will be alive in an instant.

"This is what Jiang said about the talent he saw from him!" Ferguson said to the people around him in a show-off manner. Ferguson clearly remembered that when Jiang Feng asked him to sign Cambiaso, he said that Cambiaso was a player who could cover the entire stadium.

When he arrived at the back, Esteban Cambiaso found that Barcelona focused on defending his pass, he decisively shot a long shot from a distance of 30 meters. Although he flew directly to the stands, Ferguson and others went to see Esteban Cambiaso out of it - he was not opposed to being an offensive player.

Time passed minute by minute, and the score was still 0:0.

Rijkald had been standing on the sidelines to direct the game, and Ferguson couldn't sit still and get up from his seat.

He turned his head and looked at the big screen. Time: 84 minutes and 58 seconds of the game; score: Manchester United 0:0 Barcelona.

After all, Gary Neville is already in his early thirties. After playing for more than 80 minutes of the game, he is also a little tired. Ferguson decided to replace him. Macon's impact might have a miraculous effect at the last moment.

Fletcher can also replace it, let Scholes go and fight at the last moment.

However, in this way, Esteban Cambiaso will return to the defensive midfield position. In addition, Scholes' first appearance is not known, after all, they don't have much time left, unless they plan to play overtime.

Forget it, Cambiaso's performance has already satisfied him. He can't bring a victory to the team, and it's no wonder that he has. After all, as an organizational midfielder, he still has a long way to go.

He called Scholes and Macon back from the warm-up area and prepared to tell them how to attack.

...

Esteban Cambiaso glanced at two teammates who were listening to Ferguson's instructions on the sidelines, one of whom was the team's original core organization Scholes. He only took a second to know what Ferguson was thinking:

He didn't want to play overtime and wanted to resolve the battle in the last few minutes, but his offensive performance obviously couldn't satisfy him, otherwise why would he have to replace Scholes to take over his mission.

What does this mean?

It means you have not completed the task.

...

Messi faced Fletcher again, intending to break through and attract Ferdinand to assist in defense, and then pass the football behind Ferdinand and let Etoo insert it.

When he easily passed Fletcher looked up for someone, the ball under his feet was tackled by Esteban Cambiaso.

It's been nearly ninety minutes since Esteban Cambiaso, no matter how Messi makes trouble near Manchester United, has never been concerned about him. Messi has almost forgotten this opponent he once considered the most dangerous.

So after he passed Fletcher, his mind was full of Ferdinand, and he didn't notice the danger at all.

Esteban Cambiaso looked at him and looked up. When he was neglecting to guard against his feet, he suddenly broke out from the slant and tackled Messi's ball!
