Chapter 371: Calm to Heinous Cooperation
Pooh!
Ronaldo and Rooney spat at almost the same moment, and then the two looked at Dong Fangzhuo at the same time.
If you look closely, they are used to doing this when Manchester United was pierced through the goal recently...
1:2.
Zeman began to make slight adjustments to the formation on the field.
"Sure enough, Pettit began to stand in front of the two central defenders, in order not to let more balls come to the middle, and to help the defenders assist in defense."
"But Koeman has only one adjustment. His other position remains unchanged. His team still needs to attack. This may be the gene that Koeman, who comes from Barcelona, has born with, because they see the hope of victory and must carry out the victory to the end. For Ferguson's Manchester United, this is a danger and a greater opportunity. Although the defense will still feel pressure, it also gives Manchester United more offensive opportunities."
The conceding of the goal made Manchester United's defense a little panicked, and he lost two goals in a row. The defense led by Vidic seemed a little unconfident.
Especially in the 35th minute, Manchester United almost finished playing!
Giovani dribbled the ball with one shot, and Sylvester knocked him down from behind at the edge of the penalty area.
Fark!
I'm grass!
Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney all looked at the referee.
If this ball is awarded a penalty, Manchester United will have no idea and will be cold.
A few seconds later, referee Vasalas awarded the Brazilian a false foul.
Benfica players refused to do it. They had a dispute in front of the referee for a long time, but the referee still maintained the penalty.
Sylvester is really unreliable, not as good as Pique. Dong Fangzhuo actually remembered the young Pique at this time. Unfortunately, he is not Ferguson and does not have the right to substitute. In my memory, with Sylvester present, it is never reliable!
Manchester United drove the ball out of the backcourt, but was soon intercepted by Benfica's player and passed it straight through. Smith had to foul Nuno Gomez in the backcourt and directly knocked him down to avoid another accident in the penalty area. Pettit finally walked up, and then the shot from 25 yards in the middle was blocked by a wall and went out of the baseline.
The corner kick was taken, and Vidic hit the ball hard in the crowd, pushing the ball far away and flying out of the sideline, as if venting his dissatisfaction with the defense...
It seems that his old partner Ferdinand is more reliable, but unfortunately Ferdinand is injured. He is the only one fighting alone now. However, even if Ferdinand is there, his recent sluggish state may not be much better than Sylvester.
The middle lane was a little unstable, and Rooney had to go to the middle lane, as if he had strengthened his control over the midfield.
His wise approach gave Manchester United a chance to fight back.
In the 43rd minute, he received a pass from Smith and passed the ball to Ronaldo on the right. He did not intend to entangle with Benfica in the dense middle, but Giovani immediately pulled Ronaldo down in the midfield, and Ronaldo had no chance to start. Of course, Giovani was also warned by a yellow card.
Manchester United missed the last chance to attack in the first half.
Although Ferguson did not get angry in the locker room, he was definitely not satisfied with the players' performance on the court, especially in the backcourt, where the defense couldn't bear to look at it.
Park Ji-sung was replaced in the second half. His condition was too bad today and Scholes got halftime playing time.
But Scholes did not immediately change the situation of Manchester United, and the deadlock continued on the court, and Manchester United failed to organize a threatening offensive.
In the 55th minute, seeing his teammate in front of him so weak, Vidic suddenly made a long pass from Dong Fangzhuo in the backcourt. Dong Fangzhuo jumped and made a quick offside. Louis Song's long legs failed to keep up with Dong Fangzhuo, but Dong Fangzhuo forgot that there was still a Petit. The moment Dong Fangzhuo was unloading the ball, Petit pushed forward with a cunning body. Dong Fangzhuo's body instantly lost balance and failed to protect the ball and fell to the ground.
Dong Fangzhuo immediately turned over and raised his hand to signal the Frenchman to commit a foul, but the referee did not yell!
The cunning Petit did not wait for the ball, and still took the ball away as soon as possible.
Sure enough, ginger is still so spicy...
Why is it said that there is an old family? If there is a treasure, it is this? It is all experience!
Although Dong Fangzhuo was very depressed, he quickly got up and chased Petit.
He lost the ball, and he had this mission to chase, although it seemed silly. Pettit also thought it was, and he quickly handed the ball forward...
However, Benfica has Petit, Manchester United has veterans like Scholes and Neville.
The ball handed over by Pettit came to the middle, but Neville snatched Smith's credit, and he quickly got the ball before Beto.
Beto didn't expect that it was not Smith around him, but Manchester United's right-back Neville. How did this guy come out?
When he was thinking, Neville had already handed the ball to Scholes and continued to step forward.
With this sudden attack, Benfica has no advantage in defending numbers...
In the 58th minute, Giggs and Scholes passed the ball continuously. Scholes brought it to the frontcourt, but he did not shoot from a long shot immediately, because although Pettit made a mistake in passing, he immediately blocked Scholes in front of Scholes. Scholes passed the ball to Ronaldo on the right side of the penalty area, and the Portuguese's right foot shot from 18 yards was missed out of the far corner.
The ball did not go in, but at least Manchester United's attack showed a magnificent momentum this time. Then Ferguson continued to replace players. Smith, who performed well, was replaced, and Giggs came up to continue to strengthen the attack!
"The veteran may be able to help the game very much. Young players are not good at playing against the wind. Now with Scholes and Giggs in the back, the Trident in the frontcourt should have a chance."
"Ferguson is still very thoughtful. It depends on young players in good times and veterans in bad times?"
As soon as Giggs came up, he was immediately violated by Anderson in front of the penalty area. Pettit was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and went up to argue, but was warned by a yellow card.
Ronaldo stood in front of the ball and thought for a long time, and finally shot the free kick from 25 yards on the right and missed the near corner. It seemed that his recent free kick was not very good.
Manchester United had no choice but to strengthen the offense. Ferguson began to walk around the sidelines, looking anxious.
The game progress was a bit unexpected.
Koeman's team is still very strong, and it is quite well-organized in both defense and offense.
In the 70th minute, taking advantage of Heinze's pressure to assist, Manchester United was beaten behind him, Nelson counterattacked and passed the ball to the middle, Nuno Gomez's low shot from the right side of the penalty area was stubbornly blocked by Vidiciva.
Nuno Gomez discovered that after Vidic was around him, he could not touch the ball.
Although Manchester United is threatened by attack, Manchester United needs attack more, so despite being beaten behind him just now, the Argentinian still rushed up bravely again.
After receiving Giggs' pass, Heinze chose to pass back. Giggs quickly passed with his left foot. Dong Fangzhuo attracted the fire point in the middle, Rooney inserted into the left rib of the penalty area, and Petit could not come to make up for defense.
Rooney shot with his left foot from 8 yards!
Anderson flew to block it! Not only did he block the ball, but he also got the ball after getting up.
Looking up, Giovani was in front, and he made a straight pass without hesitation.
"Danger!"
After Giovani took the ball, he tapped his right heel and easily flashed the reckless Sylvester.
Then Giovani immediately played the ball to Nuno Gomez!
Vidic can't see two of them alone! But he decided to keep up with Nuno Gomez. But Nuno Gomez still dribbled the ball into the penalty area as soon as possible!
Swish-
Van der Sar fell to Nuno Gomez's feet like a ghost. The ball was instantly controlled by him and threw it to Heinze on the ground with great difficulty.
Although Heinzer was surprised, he quickly handed the ball to Giggs.
Giggs made a wide-ranging pass and passed the ball to Ronaldo. Because Ronaldo was empty and there was no defense at all, Rooney was still following a defender.
It's Manchester United's turn to fight back quickly!
A 3-to-4-for-1 situation in the front court was soon formed. Rooney was one, Dong Fangzhuo in the middle attracted two, and Petit was rushing towards Ronaldo.
Facing Petit, Ronaldo was full of confidence. He buckled his right heel like Giovani just now. Petit was thrown involuntarily like a broken kite.
C Luo quickly cut into the middle lane.
Rooney competed with the opponent's right back on the left side to compete with the speed, and quickly surpassed the opponent!
Two seconds later, Ronaldo decisively dribbled the ball into the penalty area, but Benfica's other central defender Leo decisively left Dong Fangzhuo and came to block Ronaldo.
At the critical moment, Ronaldo chose to spike the ball down the bottom again and instantly aimed at Leo, but the shooting angle was gone.
He could only sweep the ball to the middle, and he quickly took a step back, avoiding Leo again, and also finding space again.
He swept the ball in the middle and ran towards Dong Fangzhuo's feet, but Louis Song behind him used all his strength. This time, Dong Fangzhuo could not control his body, and the cliff was about to fall, but he still stabbed the ball back to Ronaldo with his left foot before falling.
C Ronaldo dared not adjust anymore, and directly pushed the far corner with his left foot!
Crazy-
“goooooooal!”
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
"The score is tied!"
