Modric raised his hand for the ball, and Carlos passed the ball to him.
At the same time, Mata began to rush forward, trying to coordinate with Modric.
Modric indeed passed the football.
Manchester United's defensive focus immediately tilted towards Mata's side.
Mata had the ball at his feet, and Brown immediately came up to mark him.
Mata suddenly pulled the ball horizontally, then suddenly accelerated, trying to break through. Brown quickly stepped up to block, but only saw the Spanish international dunk the ball back again. However, Mata could not continue to break through because Carrick
Came here to fill my seat.
At this moment, Mata suddenly passed the football.
Diego Milito dropped back to catch the ball.
***********
"No time!" shouted the Italian commentator.
Milito dribbled the ball forward, and when his body came into contact with Hargreaves, the football cleverly poked Modric behind him.
Modric took the ball and looked to the left.
Mata started to move laterally, and Brown quickly dropped down the wing and followed!
At this moment, behind Mata's side, Evra moved forward at high speed!
"Are you coming?" Ferdinand looked unhappy.
This scene must be very familiar to Manchester United players. The previous goal conceded started when Evra stepped in from behind. Now Inter Milan wants to repeat the same trick?!
Manchester United's defensive players responded immediately and absolutely did not allow the Inter Milan people to act recklessly. Whether it was Ferdinand or Carrick, who was filling in, they all focused on Evra who suddenly moved forward. Carrick pounced on
In response to the accelerating Evra, Ferdinand temporarily moved over to respond.
At the same time, Hargreaves also focused on Diego Milito who was running out of position.
In the penalty area, Vidic was immediately alert to Adriano, in order to prevent Inter Milan's cross from the wing.
On the other side, O'Shea also improved his defense against David Silva.
Manchester United's defense was like an instrument, making a standard response at this moment!
However, at this moment, everyone subconsciously ignored Modric who was in possession of the ball. They subconsciously believed that Modric would pass the football to Evra who was already in position without hesitation.
***********
Modric tried to pass the ball, but he quickly pulled the football back. He had no intention of passing the ball!
He shrewdly saw a path leading directly to the restricted area...
Right between Ferdinand and Vidic, at the junction of the two centre-backs, one was leaning heavily sideways, and the other was following Adriano, who seemed to be planning to step aside and interact with Silva.
That's right, there was a gap in Manchester United's tightly defended ribs for an instant!
A gap leading directly to the restricted area!
Modric knocked the football forward and suddenly accelerated!
Carrick is chasing Evra. The England international has a serious face. He must get close to the opponent before Evra can catch the ball. Ferdinand is paying attention to help defend Evra. Hargreaves' focus is on Diego Milly.
On top of this, Vidic was watching Adriano, O'Shea was wary of Silva, and the entire Manchester United midfielder and backfield were all dumbfounded at this moment. None of them expected that Modric would let his teammates go.
Instead of passing the ball when he ran out, he actually chose to lead the way for a breakthrough!
In people's minds, speed is not Modric's specialty.
But, this time, the Croatian international showed people his speed!
Modric demonstrated a very simple and practical dribbling technique!
*************
Modric didn't do any tricks and directly knocked the football forward. The football happened to be in the gap in Manchester United's defense. Although the defensive players seemed to be close at hand, it was impossible to react in time at that moment.
In an instant, Modric had already rushed over with the ball, and at this moment, Ferdinand, who realized something was wrong, had just turned around.
"Stop him!!" Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar shouted in panic.
Hargreaves hurriedly dropped Diego Milito, who came running from the side. Seeing Modric about to dribble the ball into the penalty area, Hargreaves was heartbroken and directly made a tackle.
Hargreaves decisively fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle.
Objectively speaking, there is no problem for Hargreaves to release the shovel.
However, this time Hargreaves misjudged Modric's sudden speed.
When Hargreaves' tackle came with both feet, Modric suddenly picked up speed again.
Then people saw Modric being brought down directly to the ground and fell in the penalty area. The football flew to the side and was quickly hugged by Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, who attacked quickly.
*************
"Penalty kick!" Italian commentator Ferrari shouted excitedly.
"Beautiful defense!" This was the voice of British commentator Lineker.
Modric, who fell to the ground, lay there and looked at the referee.
The referee Michel from Slovakia seemed to hesitate for a second, and then the whistle was heard.
He pointed to the penalty spot.
Penalty kick!
Modric got up excitedly, cheered, and was hugged by the equally excited Inter Milan players.
Hargreaves jumped up from the ground angrily and roared at the referee Michel: "Flip! Flip! I didn't touch anyone!!!"
Sharing his dissatisfaction are other Manchester United players.
Ferdinand ran to the referee and pointed at the football held in Van der Sar's arms, "The one who scooped the football first! No one touched him!"
Vidic pointed to the line of the penalty area and complained about Hargreaves. What he meant was that even if you call a foul, it is outside the penalty area.
The referee Michel just waved his hand in response to the Manchester United people's protest, and then pointed to his eyes, indicating that he could see clearly and not to say any more.
Hargreaves obviously couldn't accept this penalty. He spent most of the season recuperating from injuries. He finally came back from injury and was able to play in the Champions League final. The England international is so eager to help the team win the Big Ear Cup, which also fulfills himself.
Dream, he naturally knows very well how bad it will be for Manchester United if it is a penalty kick.
*************
"Which eye did you see..." Hargreaves roared, and Carrick, who was closest to him, quickly covered Hargreaves' mouth, but it was already too late.
Michel, who seemed to have no intention of playing a card for Hargreaves' foul, would not tolerate a player's rude words, so he showed Hargreaves a yellow card without hesitation.
Ferguson looked very angry off the court. Old man Socra almost went berserk. He roared and spat at the fourth official.
"Please trust the referee's decision, he must know best what happened..." Facing the famous Ferguson hairdryer, the fourth official said with a serious face.
"Everyone makes mistakes! Obviously he was wrong this time!" Ferguson was furious. If he hadn't had a trace of reason, the old man would have almost cursed.
Then, the old man caught a glimpse of a guy watching the fun with a smile on his face. He also gave a thumbs up to the referee on the field: You know everything.
The anger in the old man's chest was crackling and burning, almost ready to explode.
