In the first half, Monaco's defense had very serious problems, otherwise they would not have conceded two goals in the half.

However, it has to be said that Van Persie is indeed very capable of seizing opportunities. Manchester United's only two excellent opportunities were all sent by Van Persie into the goal.

Ranieri naturally considered this issue. During the break, he focused on discussing the overall defensive strategy with the players. He also hoped that the team would not lose points in the second half.

On the other hand, Ranieri thought of Berbatov, who performed well in these games after loan on the offensive end.

Berbatov is a player who knows Vidic and Ferdinand very well, so Ranieli believes that Berbatov will be of some help to the team on the offensive end.

After all, in the first half, J Ronaldo was restricted, and it was difficult for Carrasco to break through calmly on the wing, and Falcao was a little isolated and helpless.

Now, the team naturally needs to adjust its offensive end.

At the end of the half-time break, Ranieli replaced Berbatov and replaced Moutinho at the beginning of the second half.

He launched a clear signal of active offense.

And Berbatov finally faced his old master at this time.

"We saw Berbatov appearing, and Xu Qi was still sitting on the bench. Did Ranieri choose to replace Xu Qi first? This is a bit incomprehensible. Because we know that facing a defense like Manchester United, players like Xu Qi with more delicate skills under their feet with stronger breakthrough skills are actually more effective." Liu Jiayuan also questioned Ranieri's arrangement while explaining. To be honest, the purpose of TV5 commenting on this game is Manchester United on the one hand, and Xu Qi on the other hand.

If Xu Qi doesn't play, they might as well explain another match that was played at the same time, the showdown between Manchester City and Barcelona.

Berbatov's appearance obviously did not help Monaco improve his offensive ability. On the contrary, his existence slowed down Monaco's rapid offensive.

Ten minutes later, Ranieri felt that there were some problems with his substitution adjustment.

He thought now that it would be better to replace the young Martial to rush. Although Martial is young, he has outstanding talent and strong abilities. In fact, he can attack Manchester United's defense.

Ranieli looked at Martial, who was sitting on the other side of Xu Qi, and then looked at Xu Qi. He is now ready to make adjustments again. If the offensive end is not brought back to life as soon as possible, then the fate of Monaco will be too tragic next.

If you lose two goals at home, is there still hope for away games?

Especially when facing the powerful Manchester United at Old Trafford, this is an extremely difficult challenge for Monaco.

Ranieli called Xu Qi to his side, but he was still ready to let Xu Qi appear.

When he was behind two goals, he had to let Xu Qi play to change the team's weakness on the offensive end.

After Ranieri's tactical analysis, Xu Qi nodded to show his understanding.

His appearance this time was a big task to activate Berbatov.

Ranieli didn't want to take on this mistake very much. He hoped that Xu Qi could create some sparks with Berbatov.

In his opinion, a player like Xu Qi with excellent and smart feet should be able to play some exquisite things with Berbatov.

And Xu Qi had this idea.

Finally, Xu Qi appeared and replaced Carrasco.

At this time, Smalling was already a little tired of being hit by Carrasco, and Xu Qi's appearance made him feel as if he was facing a great enemy.

He still remembers that in the Manchester derby two years ago, whether it was the first half of the season or the second half of the season, Xu Qi left an indelible memory for Manchester United.

During those two battles at that time, Ferguson was still standing on the sidelines, not Moyes now.

Manchester United also made substitution adjustments at this time, replacing Valencia and Shinji Kagawa.

Moyes also wants to add a pass point when counterattacking. It seems that he really wants to directly kill the suspense of promotion in this game.

After Xu Qi appeared on the left, he began to tell Berbatov to get closer to him. The two of them had some tacit understanding in the team's training. Xu Qi knew that he could play with Berbatov.

Looking back two years ago, the two represented Manchester United and Manchester City in the Manchester derby respectively, and now, the two are facing Manchester United side by side for the new team at the same time.

I have to say that there are really many fates in football fields.

Now Monaco's offense is basically Berbatov, Falcao, Xu Qi and J Ronaldo.

Falcao is still at the closest position to the goal, and Berbatov is slightly behind. He is responsible for supporting and playing ball for Xu Qi.

Although Berbatov is no longer at the peak, his ability to do balls is still outstanding with his very casual ability.

Ranieri's substitution was effective from the beginning.

Compared with Carrasco's favorite to rush around with the ball, Xu Qi is obviously smarter and more aware of the importance of cooperating with his teammates.

Judging from some details of the ball handling, we can see the gap between a young demon like Carrasco and a older generation demon like Xu Qi who has been famous for many years.

After Xu Qi took the ball, he faced Smalling, first cut inward and then he directly passed the ball forward, and Berbatov indeed appeared in front of him and appeared in the direction of Xu Qi's passing.

Then, Berbatov gently knocked the ball with his heel and touched Xu Qi in front of him, and behind Smalling.

The two of them cooperated simply and immediately tore up Smalling's defense, and even shook Carrick away from the nearby area.

Xu Qi led the ball straight into the penalty area, and the old opponent Ferdinand rushed over.

At this time, Xu Qi took the lead in trying to force a breakthrough in front of Ferdinand. Xu Qi was sure that if Ferdinand rushed over, he would definitely trip him. At that time, the ten-day** would be a penalty kick.

However, Ferdinand was also quite experienced. He also saw that Xu Qi was trying to find a penalty kick, so he quickly held back his feet and immediately gave Xu Qi over.

However, after Ferdinand let Xu Qi go, he regretted it again.

Because there are no defensive players in the small penalty area.

Although Xu Qi's ball was a bit big, De Gea might not be able to save the ball that Xu Qi had ripped out before Xu Qi.

Sure enough, Xu Qi accelerated two steps to catch up with the ball this time. Before De Gea attacked and reached out his hand to the ball, Xu Qi stretched out his foot first.

De Gea, who was attacking, had blocked Xu Qi's shooting line, but Xu Qi did not shoot directly this time, because De Gea had been brought out by himself, and the goal behind him was completely empty.

At this time, as long as Xu Qi handed the ball to a teammate in the penalty area, the teammate could hit the empty goal.

Falcao likes to pick up this kind of cheapness very much.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Qi looked up, Falkao appeared in Xu Qi's sight, so Xu Qi stretched out his foot and pushed the ball towards Falkao.

Then he also lay in the penalty area. De Gea, who was crawling forward in the small penalty area and Xu Qi, who had already fallen, gave Falkao a huge empty goal opportunity!
