393 Beheading the old club again
Moyes sat in the coach's seat and looked unable to hide his inner tension.
On the scene, Manchester United actively instigated an offensive, but encountered Dortmund's fierce counterattack in the midfield and frontcourt, resulting in poor offensive organizational continuity.
Simply put, Manchester United dared not pass the ball in the middle and backcourt, for fear of making a mistake and being successfully counterattacked by Dortmund and then being hit by a fast break.
Most of the balls passed to the frontcourt are chance balls, Manchester United players need to grab them, and Dortmund defenders have the opportunity to intercept them.
Even if Giggs controls the ball on the left, due to the decrease in speed, Dortmund's midfield can quickly retreat to form an encirclement. If Valencia controls the ball on the right, it will be simple. If you keep a close eye on Verbeck and Rooney who is inserted in the back, you will basically control the threat of Manchester United's offensive.
Who made Valencia not shoot by himself?
Dortmund, step by step, launched threatening offensives at Old Trafford at high positions in the frontcourt.
In the 11th minute of the game, Reus responded to Gundogan's pass from the right side of the penalty area and collided with Lewandowski to cooperate and cut into the right side of the penalty area. He then shot the ball into the far corner of the goal. De Gea jumped into the ball with one hand to block the ball out of the baseline.
The defense line was shaking, and De Gea looked calm. This season, he was once again tortured by Manchester United's defense line, and now he is numb.
Three minutes later, Tang Hong was knocked to the ground by Carrick when he was knocked to the left in front of the penalty area and then directly knocked the ball.
Carrick took the initiative to pull him up, and then Manchester United began to defend the set piece.
Tang Hong stood in front of the football and was about to take the penalty kick, and some sporadic boo sounded in the stadium.
When the referee blew his whistle, he started running up, and the iconic set-piece shooting was presented to the audience. Manchester United fans were somewhat dazed, and for a moment it seemed that they could not tell whether Tang Hong was an enemy or a friend.
The football shot by Tang Hong went around the edge of the human wall and quickly turned around to outline an inner arc and flew towards the near corner of the goal.
It seems that this ball will definitely score!
But what surprised everyone was that De Gea raised the ball high above the crossbar after moving with one hand.
If he follows his instinct, De Gea will make a mistake in predicting this ball, but De Gea predicts that Tang Hong will play a curve ball with an inner rotation near angle, and he bet right!
Even so, the trajectory of the football spinning and flying to the front of the goal caught him off guard.
Tang Hong saw De Gea blocking the ball high, and he couldn't help but smile without any bitterness.
De Gea looked at him and spread his hands.
It seems that Tang Hong also tempered De Gea when he practiced free kicks last season, and also dug a hole for himself today.
But it doesn't matter, the game made him feel more and more interesting.
Putting aside the stance, the game between Dortmund and Manchester United is still exciting. Dortmund takes the lead away from home and attacks fiercely, while Manchester United returns to the defensive mode of "De Gea" and watches De Gea perform alone.
Perhaps the offense was too bad. In the 20th minute of the game, Rooney's shot just past the central circle shocked all the fans of the audience.
Weidenfell almost lost his lair. Fortunately, he turned around and returned to the defense in time and jumped in front of the goal line and punched the football that was almost falling into the goal and knocked it out on the crossbar!
Weidenfeller, who stood up after staggering and falling inside the goal, had to raise his hand to signal to his teammates that he was fine and the goal was fine!
He couldn't help but look at Rooney in the distance.
Manchester United fans' lost sighs echoed inside the Old Trafford Stadium.
If this goal is scored, it will definitely be similar to Beckham's classic work that became famous with one goal!
Although Manchester United almost scored a goal, they were obviously a little desperate on the offensive end depending on the situation!
In the 24th minute of the game, Tang Hong received a pass from Mkhitaryan from the bottom of the left, and slowly dribbled the ball towards the penalty area. Facing Phil Jones' right foot, he changed direction? The latter's center of gravity moved, and Tang Hong decisively splashed the ball with his right foot and rushed towards the bottom line.
Football just rolled between Phil Jones' legs? Passed through the crotch!
Phil Jones turned around and chased him a little embarrassed? He didn't dare to foul, after all, he had already stepped into the penalty area!
Tang Hong continued to dribble along the bottom line in the penalty area? He knocked the ball back when he encountered Ferdinand.
Although Carrick and Rooney guarded Mkhitaryan, Gundogan inserted and received Tang Hong's pass. He stopped the ball and adjusted it and then sent a diagonal plug on the ground.
The football rolled into the right side of the penalty area? Reusnece stabbed the ball to the middle of the goal before Vidic cleared.
Lewandowski followed up in front of the goal and shot. De Gea made a move and saved the ball on the spot with his thigh to block the ball out of the baseline.
Lewandowski felt incredible.
De Gea is really a thigh!
Although De Gea saved Manchester United time and time again, it will be a matter of time to lose the ball if this continues. Red Devils fans are not optimistic.
Dortmund keeps his mentality stable? Continue to patiently organize the offensive to launch a fierce attack on the Manchester United defense line.
In the 29th minute of the game, Tang Hong cut into the left rib of the penalty area and received a cross from Pisczek from the wing!
In order to ensure the angle, there is no strength, when the football flew to the far corner of the goal, Tang Hong already believed that the ball should be converted into a goal.
But when De Gea rushed out and touched the ball with one palm to the limit, Tang Hong couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and sighed to the sky.
De Gea still had the same look of Gujing Bubo, as if the wonderful rescue was something he deserved to do.
The Dortmund player has a good mentality, but Klopp's expression on the sidelines has already shown a bit of bitterness.
He really doesn't want Dortmund to bombard until the last goal is not scored, but Manchester United stolen one.
That's so easy to break people's mentality!
In the 36th minute of the game? Manchester United organized an offensive in the backcourt. Fellaini responded to Carrick's pass from the back of the center circle and tried to turn around and find the target of the pass. However, Sven Bend stabbed the ball away.
Mkhitaryan quickly stepped forward and knocked the ball across.
Gundogan followed up and stopped and entered the dangerous area of attack.
Carrick immediately stepped forward to intercept, and Gundoan sent the ball diagonally to the middle of the penalty area.
Lewandowski stopped the ball and dribbled into the penalty area for another step? At this time, Ferdinand and Vidic were forced to close the goal to defend, but Lewandowski passed the ball diagonally across the left side of the penalty area.
It was too late for Ferdinand to turn around and intercept it!
Tang Hong cut in quickly and killed it? He dribbled to the edge of the small penalty area and started to adjust the ball and then shot.
De Gea made a strike and lowered the center of gravity and made a save blocking action. I thought this would be almost certain to block Tang Hong's shot? But De Gea still unexpectedly did not shoot the ball, but dribbled the ball one meter in front of him to the middle zone!
After just crossing Ferdinand, he was back in defense and then Tang Hong shot the ball into the middle of the goal.
De Gea quickly got up but could no longer save!
Seeing the football flew into Manchester United goal, De Gea was not angry and turned around to look at Tang Hong. This time he sighed with his hands on his hips.
The cheers of Dortmund fans sounded at the Old Trafford Stadium, while Manchester United fans were expressionless.
"Tang Hong broke through Manchester United's goal!
After continuous attacks, Dortmund finally broke the deadlock at Old Trafford.
This time, Tang Hong was very calm in front of the goal. After a fake shot, he drifted past goalkeeper De Gea before shooting the ball into the empty goal!
Dortmund tried many times before and failed to score a goal, but this time De Gea's ten fingers were finally broken!
Dortmund led Manchester United 1-0 away."
Tang Hong did not celebrate, and his expression turned naturally toward the central circle.
The teammates who ran over naturally knew that Tang Hong didn't want to celebrate when facing his old club, so he touched his head, patted his back or shoulders, and walked with him towards the midfield.
Reus was next to him and said to him: "If you transfer a few more times, you may not be able to celebrate the goal in the future."
Tang Hong looked at him helplessly and asked, "Do you want me to leave Dortmund?"
Reus asked him, "I hope you will play for Dortmund forever. Will you listen to me?"
Tang Hong could only give him a blank look.
Manchester United is behind at home, but Moyes does not have a good adjustment plan. In fact, the whole world knows that Manchester United can reach the quarterfinals in the Champions League this season, which is definitely an unexpected record!
Just like their defense line was unstable last season, they were able to make a sensation, and winning the championship was considered almost a miracle!
But now the man who created the miracle last season has just broken through Manchester United's goal for Dortmund.
Manchester United themselves may also lack strong confidence and fighting spirit, which is directly related to their performance and ups and downs in their state over the past half of the season.
In contrast, Dortmund's unprecedented stability and strength are the only way to win some games, but they are ultimately winning!
Manchester United's disadvantage in the field did not change because of the score behind and catching up.
If you can't beat it, you can't beat it!
Even Ferguson's tradition of flying with two wings left by the past is difficult to play with a strong style now. Giggs and Valencia's role in the wing is too single, and Velbeck's running sideways is difficult to even touch the ball, so his condition is naturally becoming more and more sluggish.
Dortmund continued to attack fiercely.
In the 41st minute of the game, Tang Hong received a pass from Schmelzer from the backcourt from the side. Seeing Carrick and Phil Jones form a joint defense, Fellaini quickly retreated, and Rooney also came to him. He did not drag the ball at all, and then wading back two steps and teleported for a long time.
The ball rights were transferred to the right. Reus and Mkhitaryan cooperated with the pass and cut inward and broke into the right area in front of the penalty area. Then he made a diagonal pass on the ground. Lewandowski led the ball in the penalty area and changed direction to break through Vidic. He welcomed a golden opportunity!
As a result, his shot was blocked by De Gea from the near corner of the goal and went out of the baseline!
Lewandowski is really incredible!
De Gea is in a super state!
Chapter completed!
