Chapter 310 The Champions League Golden Boot
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Manchester City was not in a hurry to attack, so they launched a defensive counterattack.
Anyway, it is Manchester United who is in a hurry to score goals now, not them.
Manchester United is really anxious, falling behind with a total score of 4:1, and still three goals are missing. And Manchester City has another away goal, which means that Manchester United must score four goals in the second half, otherwise they will be eliminated.
This is a nearly impossible task.
But after Ferguson's roar at halftime, Manchester United players still plucked up their courage and fighting spirit and launched a fierce offensive against Manchester City's goal in the second half.
At the same time, Manchester United fans in the stands also cheered for their team with almost crazy singing.
Manchester United fans will never accept being eliminated from the Champions League by their arch rivals in the city!
But the reality is cruel and I don’t care whether Manchester United fans accept it or not.
In the second half, Manchester City continued to play their defensive counterattack. Although Manchester United got some opportunities, they were wasted all because of their impatience.
The camera was given to Ferguson's face on the coach's seat many times. The frequency of chewing gum by Sir Jones was getting faster and faster, which also shows how nervous and anxious he was.
This is really cruel for a person who has undergone heart bypass surgery...
The TV broadcast even captured a close-up.
That's Ferguson's hand.
As he looked at the court, his mouth kept chewing gum, but the camera lens did not give Ferguson's face, but suddenly cut Ferguson's hand.
You can see Ferguson's hand clenched into a fist and placed on his thigh, trembling!
This action made many Manchester United fans feel sad.
The old coach has led Manchester United to the Premier League for almost 20 years and has won countless championships. What kind of storms have never been seen before?
But now, it seems that it is really time for him to get through...
He Ping, a Chinese commentator who was commenting on this game, was also very emotional: "Since ancient times, heroes are like beauty, and we are not allowed to see white hair on earth... When Ferguson led Manchester United to dominate the English football world, how many people could think that one day they could see the scene of the old coach so powerless? I think if Ferguson could choose to broadcast the picture, he would definitely not want people to see this scene..."
※※※
The scene of Ferguson shaking his hands may make Manchester City fans feel compassion when they see it.
But Manchester City players are playing, and they can't see close-ups in the live broadcast.
Manchester City players still dutifully complete the task assigned by Benitez to them - defensive counterattack.
As time goes by, Manchester City players are now relaxing.
They all knew that the balance of victory was completely tilted to their side, leaving Manchester United with little time.
"There is not much time left, and Manchester United still can't defeat Manchester City's goal... We can already confirm that the first team to enter the Champions League final will be Manchester City!"
Five minutes after John Motterson finished speaking, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game.
Manchester City's substitutes rushed to the stadium and celebrated their advancement finals at Old Trafford!
"The game ends! Manchester City club has reached the Champions League final for the first time in history! Congratulations! They are the first team to enter Wembley! At that time, I think Wembley will become Manchester City's home court!"
Because it was away, there were not much cheers after the game, but there were a lot of booing. Of course, unlike the Bernabeu, this booing was not given to Manchester United players who were eliminated, but to Manchester United fans.
Manchester United fans were very upset to see Manchester City celebrating their territory.
Manchester City players also felt the hostility of Manchester United fans, but they did not hurriedly end the celebration and returned to the visiting team's locker room.
Instead, they continued to celebrate the victory on the court and waved to Manchester City fans who came to support them away.
They didn't return to the locker room until the thanks were finished.
When the door was closed, most of the noise outside was blocked from outside.
Manchester City players are quite excited about being able to enter the Champions League final. Everyone talks and laughs, and the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant.
In this case, Glory suddenly walked to the center of the locker room and said to everyone: "Everyone is quiet, quiet."
Seeing this, the players all calmed down and turned their heads to look at Rongguang, wanting to hear what their captain had to say.
"We have reached the Champions League final, but I still don't think this is the time to celebrate. So please forgive me for coming out and pouring cold water on everyone - if we end up losing to our opponents in the final, then our celebration now becomes a joke."
Teammates listened quietly to their captains, and no one questioned this - why do other teams celebrate happily when they can reach the Champions League finals for a long time, and it will turn into a joke when we celebrate?
It was not that they hid their inner doubts, but because they didn't think there was anything to be confused about.
They already know Captain Rongguang very well.
Everyone is familiar with Rongguang's consistent high standards and strict requirements.
This kind of words are really not inconsistent at all when he said it from Rong Guang's mouth. In Rong Guang's opinion, reaching the final but not winning the championship is a complete failure, and it is even more failure than being eliminated in the group stage. Because according to his philosophy, since he has reached the final, he must be here to win the championship. Why not enter the final? Is that runner-up worthy of the effort and sweat he put into the final before?
"So, if you want to celebrate, we will celebrate it well when we win the Champions League championship. That is the first Champions League champion in Manchester City's history!"
While Manchester City fans were still happy about their historic entry into the Champions League final and were so excited that they couldn't fall asleep, Manchester City players had already calmed down and began to prepare for the final final battle.
※※※
The next night, another Champions League semi-finals ended.
Barcelona, who returned to home, beat Schalke 4:1 04.
Finally, he eliminated Schalke 04 with a score of 6:1 and entered the finals.
However, Barcelona's elimination of Schalke 04 is not a great thing. After the first round, everyone thought that Barcelona would definitely advance to the final.
Now it just confirms everyone's judgment.
Messi is the one who really interests everyone.
Just as European media and fans around the world began to argue whether to be stronger in glory or Messi was stronger. Messi responded to the world with a hat trick.
With the previous double score, Messi has scored five goals in the semi-finals.
And he has also scored fourteen goals in the Champions League this season!
This number is that he surpassed the glory of scoring thirteen goals and became the number one in the Champions League scorer list.
At the same time, this number is also the most goals scored in a single season since Messi participated in the Champions League.
Of course, if there is no glory, Messi will also tie the record of the most goals in Champions League history in a single season - the record of 14 goals by former AC Milan scorer Altafini.
Unfortunately, this record has long passed. In the 2006-2007 season when Bayern Munich won the Champions League championship, Rongguang scored seventeen goals in all thirteen Champions League games. He raised the gap of Altafini's record in one breath...
Unless Messi scored a hat-trick in the Champions League final, he wouldn't even be able to tie the glory.
Even if you want to be the second place in the Champions League single-season goal rankings, the second place is still a glorious - fifteen goals.
In fact, the media are not paying much attention to whether Messi can break the single-season goal record of Glory. The hope for this is too slim...
Everyone is more concerned about who can win the Champions League top scorer this season.
This is the most realistic and eye-catching question, second only to who can win the Champions League championship by Manchester City or Barcelona.
Because since Glory participated in the UEFA Champions League, as long as he participated, he has been the best scorer in the Champions League and has never missed it.
Even though he was seriously injured and missed half a season of 2007-2008, he became the top scorer in the Champions League that season because of nine goals in the group stage. The top scorer in Manchester United who finally won the championship was Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese scored eight goals, one more than Rong Guangluo.
Later he transferred to Manchester City and did not participate in the Champions League in his first season. The Champions League top scorer that season was Messi.
That season, Messi won the Champions League together with Barcelona. Messi scored nine goals in the Champions League and won the top scorer.
At that time, the media jokingly claimed that after the glory was gone, everyone was a little unaccustomed to the Champions League top scorer's goal count was actually single digits...
Last season, Rongguang returned to the Champions League with Manchester City. Although Manchester City eventually fell to the semi-finals, Rongguang once again won the Champions League top scorer. His goal count was an astonishing fifteen!
It was only two goals away from the record he set.
Later everyone thought that if Manchester City finally reached the final, Rongguang would at least tie the 17-goal record he had set, and maybe he could create another new record.
As long as you participate in the Champions League, you can win the Champions League top scorer.
Even someone can't get close to him.
If Rong Guang hadn't been seriously injured in the 2007-2008 season and had missed all the Champions League knockout matches, Cristiano Ronaldo's eight goals would not have been able to catch up with Rong Guang.
Now, there is finally a person who can surpass the glory in the Champions League scorer list!
Then will glory lose the glorious tradition of "as long as he participates in the Champions League, he will definitely be the best scorer"?
The showdown between two superstars will eventually be judged in this most intuitive way, which is really something to look forward to.
And perhaps the match between these two players, like a Mars-collision between the Earth, will ultimately determine who will be the Champions League champion this season.
