Chapter 67 Champions League Advancement

,

spn smoke, absolute smoke. Not only did Manchester United not be conservative, they also sent all their main players to face Inter Milan. Ferguson's formation was not something that ordinary people could guess. Even Mourinho, a master of psychological warfare, was beaten by the veteran.

Sir Alex Ferguson was confused before the game. When he saw this list of players before the game, Mourinho, as the famous coach, actually had a rough answer to the result. Inter Milan basically had no hope of advancing, unless a miracle happened.

.

There are many miracles on the football field, but facts have proven that what is called a miracle is something that can only be encountered.

At 20:45 pm on March 11, local time in Europe, the second leg of the 18th final of the UEFA Champions League in the 2008-09 season was held as scheduled at Manchester United's Old Trafford home court. Ferdinand and O'Shea, who were injured in the FA Cup, returned from injury.

Rooney, who was a substitute in the first round, returned to the starting lineup to partner with Li Yu. Ronaldo appeared on the left, and Manchester United had nothing to hold back.

If the Red Devils are undefeated in this campaign, they will set a new record for unbeaten European games. After defeating Inter Milan, the Red Devils have surpassed Ajax and Bayern's unbeaten record of 19 games in the Champions League with 20 games. If you include the UEFA Cup.

results, then the longest unbeaten record in the European war is 20 games created by Juventus. The Red Devils have tied it. As long as they do not lose at Old Trafford, Manchester United will not only continue to refresh the unbeaten record in the Champions League, but also set a new record in the European war.

undefeated record.

As for Inter Milan, Materazzi and Burdisso, who were injured in the last round of the league, are absent. Balotelli and Ibrahimovic, who have recently scored consecutive goals, are partnering the striker. The teenager Thornton continues to start, and Adriano and Cruz are the two strikers.

The killer is on the bench.[

Only 4 minutes into the game, Manchester United got off to a dream start. Ronaldo broke through from the right and won a corner kick. Giggs drove the ball into the penalty area. Vieira made a mistake in marking. Vidic, who came back from behind, jumped high and headed the ball over the top. It was the first goal.

Cesar, who performed brilliantly in the round, is powerful, 1-0!

The Italians' unrealistic hope for a miracle has come to an end. Manchester United did not leave any chance for Inter Milan to make a comeback. Central defender Vidic scored. Before Manchester United's powerful offensive line showed its power, the defenders had already beaten Inter Milan.

Milan was in deep trouble.

The last time the two teams met at Inter Milan's Meazza, things had already caused a stir. The Inter Milan club had to accept penalties from UEFA, and Cordoba had already started his own suspension.

Switching to Old Trafford, although the home fans did not set off any fireworks, as Manchester United scored at the beginning, all the fans were extremely excited. There were no fans still sitting in the audience. The red ones

Old Trafford is like an erupting volcano, but what is erupting from Old Trafford is the passion of Manchester United fans.

It was the first time that Li Yu saw such a scene. They cheered like a tsunami and sang in unison. This group of Manchester United fans alone was enough to scare the players of Inter Milan. The Devil's home game was definitely not unfounded.

Infected by the fans, Manchester United did not lead by four goals at home and adopted a conservative tactical play, attacking, in addition to attacking.

Ferguson wants to prove his reputation for himself and the team. Mourinho is not Manchester United's nemesis. Manchester United is never afraid of anyone or any opponent.

There is still a big score at home. Inter Milan is unlucky and slack. I'm sorry that you can't see any slack after taking a 4-goal lead.

Attack is the main theme. Manchester United can dominate Inter Milan's offense in the away game. How can this momentum end if it is switched to Old Trafford.

Even if Cesar has three heads and six arms, he can't stop Manchester United's offensive line from taking turns bombing.

As Li Yu was a sharp knife, Inter Milan had to focus on keeping an eye on Li Yu, but they really couldn't tell the difference, so they had to follow the strategy from the previous game. This time, Materazzi replaced Li Yu.

Bad Uncle Materazzi also completely copied Cordoba's method. Perhaps the master of the Colombian's moves in the last game is here.

The tall and tall Italian bad uncle is very famous. What makes Materazzi most proud is that in the 2006 World Cup final against France, his team was awarded a penalty kick due to his foul in the penalty area.

Then he equalized the score with a header for the Blues, which was worth a thousand dollars and made up for it. In overtime, Zidane was angered, causing him to be sent off in malicious retaliation. In the end, Matera scored a penalty kick to make the Italian team fourth

Winning the championship will make a great achievement.

People who support Italy think so, but Zidane fans think otherwise.

Because of this incident, Materazzi became famous.

Against Li Yu, Materazzi also used an all-round marking strategy, and the little fly turned into a mung bean fly!

Thinking about Li Yu makes me feel a little sick, football can still be like this, experience, valuable experience, last time Li Yu used the earplug tactic, this time he no longer used the trick tactic, but switched to the insecticide tactic.

Don’t you like tinkering and making small moves?

Let you also try my body and see who can play with whom.[

Li Yu finally got into trouble with Materazzi.

The most popular sharp knife is a bit misfired, but Manchester United has too many attacking players, and it is simply impossible to guard against it!

Ronaldo made a curve ball from the right, and Rooney beat Samoel to hit the goal. Inter Milan escaped, and the ball hit the fans' box. Cesar then hugged the ball.

Not scoring a goal does not mean that the Manchester United players will be discouraged. Li Yu will not give up the pesticide strategy to deal with the villains on the court. Li Yu has finally figured it out. You are more vicious than him. Put your hand back.

, it looks like an action of spreading his hands to protect the ball, but in fact, the backside of this ball protection is extremely exciting. Materazzi is not idle behind, and Li Yu is not idle either. You can twist it, I

Twist you too.

In the footage, the two are always entangled with grinning faces. Materazzi is still complaining to the referee. The referee is not a fool. You two are in conflict. Everyone can see that. I'm sorry to both of you.

No one was any better than the other, and the referee simply turned a deaf ear. The Italians were still complaining. The referee could only give Materazzi a verbal warning, but did not give him a yellow card.

If it were someone else, the referee could still pay attention to this bad uncle. I'm sorry for his bad reputation. We are afraid of Manchester United fans and don't dare to accept your remarks.

Rooney broke through the ball from the left and the ball was blocked. Then Inter Milan launched a quick counterattack. Ibrahimovic played the ball on the right side of the frontcourt. Stankovic hit a wonderful long shot. Along with the exclamations of the fans in the audience, Fan

De Sa flew to block the ball with his fingertips.

Inter Milan finally made a threatening attack, but then they also suffered the bitter consequences. Manchester United's counterattack was not as good as theirs. When it comes to counterattacks, Manchester United is the ancestor. The Italians should learn from it.

Li Yu, who had been somewhat silent, retreated to the midfield to receive Evra's pass and quickly passed Inter Milan's midfield defense.

How did Manchester United's number 9 get there?

Before catching the ball, Li Yu made a beautiful body feint, seemingly taking the ball head-on and facing the football. At the moment of catching the ball, he took the lead with his left foot, turned around and accelerated. The action was completed in one go. Several big players from Inter Milan

A strong man in the field can only watch.

Li Yu broke out again. This kid's breakout was shocking. Manchester United fans watched nervously in the stadium.

When Materazzi saw Li Yu running toward him with the ball, his first thought was to give this kid a powerful kick. There is no negotiation for kicking you!

It has to be said that for Materazzi to become a member of the Italian national team, his basic defensive skills are not just fancy, but he is still quite good at his feet.

It's just that he didn't have good intentions. It doesn't matter whether he has the ball or not. The key is to get Li Yu a little bit and give the boy a better shot.

Li Yuzuo had a premonition that this person wanted to take a bad turn, so instead of being kicked passively, it was better to trick him out of his actions.

In front of Materazzi, Li Yu suddenly changed his appearance and wanted to eat the former alive. The opportunity to tackle came. It was not a tackle from behind. Moreover, tackles are a normal thing now. It was just a moment of accident.

He didn't tackle the ball but just tackled it to his ankle.

In this way, judging from the defensive process, the referee will never directly show a red card, and the card is also a yellow card.

The tackle was an absolutely fierce tackle, and the spikes were not exposed when the foot was released, but Materazzi had already thought about it, and the foot would definitely be raised slightly at the moment of contact.

In the overall plan, Materazzi paid attention to all the plots, but he forgot one key issue, which was also a fatal issue. If Li Yu could not be eradicated or put down, what would happen next.

In fact, Li Yu had been prepared for a long time. Before making the move, he had already thought of a countermeasure. He didn't even look at it. With a move of his right foot, Li Yu immediately jumped up. Materazzi watched the ball roll past in front of his eyes.

Suddenly it was dark. When I looked up, I saw that I was crawling under Li Yu's crotch.

That’s so polite, that’s so polite, you don’t do this all the time, and besides, the Italians have a very unique way of giving gifts, taking the initiative to dig into the crotch![

"Haha...haha!" The funny scene made the scene burst into laughter. Of course the fans could see that this was Materazzi's move to knock down Li Yu, but now it seems more like the two had discussed it in advance.

Lazi should be polite and courteous.

Ferguson was also very happy. Li Yu is really amazing. He knew it beforehand. Well, this not only hit the opponent, but also improved the morale of Manchester United. Well done!

Break after break, Inter Milan's defense was in a panic, and Samoel could only rush to cover up the defense. The Argentine's awareness was quite good, and he did not rush to intercept, but planned to get close first and then move.

"Holy shit!" Samoel seemed to have hit a wall, then his center of gravity became unstable, he staggered two steps and fell!

There had been no contact before, so Samoel had a good idea. He made a reasonable collision first. If Li Yu's center of gravity was unstable, he would immediately steal the ball. In fact, it was just the opposite. He didn't stagger the person and surrendered first.

As soon as they met, the Argentinian gave up completely. The rest was a one-on-one affair between Brazilian national goalkeeper Cesar and Li Yu. Cesar was afraid of whatever he wanted. Wasn't he good before? Manchester United No. 9 was very honest.

, I am in a very brave state, but I only allowed my opponent to score one goal, which is very sad. Isn’t it possible that we will score 3 more goals in this game?

He was thinking a little too much, but the Brazilian was unambiguous and attacked!

As soon as he took two steps, Cesar knew that his running was in vain. There was a "Bang!", hell, although it was smaller than the last Hercules free kick, it didn't sound much different.

He didn't even have time to react. After the sound, there was a "swish!" sound. The ball was already rubbing against the net. At 2:0, Li Yu scored again. Inter Milan's nemesis, Cesar's nemesis, had already

It has to be Li Yu.

Is there any suspense about promotion?

The total score is 5:0. Inter Milan can score 6 goals in the away game. Even the on-site commentators are sympathizing with Inter Milan. "The Italians seem to have recovered now. Unlucky Inter Milan, the best thing to blow is the final whistle."

, instead of the midfield whistle, so that Inter Milan players can leave decently, losing 3 goals at home and 2 goals away, which is progress! How about letting us appreciate an Italian goal? Let’s take a look now

Will the Manchester United players, who are leading the total score by a large margin, start to relax?"

Not bad. Inter Milan did not let the score expand in the first half. Ibrahimovic on the striker simply disappeared. Sweden's legendary UEFA Champions League leg weakness syndrome, although the Swedes vowed before the game that they would not make the same old habit, but now

It seems that my legs are still weak, who has any medicine?

In the second half, the side changed again. Muntari came on to replace Vieira, and Zanetti returned to the right.

Manchester United still started the game, and Inter Milan's substitutions had not yet seen any effect. Here, Manchester United scored again.

This time it was not Li Yu, but Ronaldo. The Portuguese finally seized the opportunity. Manchester United expanded its lead in the 49th minute. Scholes scored the ball. Rooney took the ball from the left side of the penalty area and suddenly passed the ball in front of the goal. Ronaldo rushed over.

The header broke Cesar's goal and the score became 3:0!

What a tragedy, there are already six big cups on the table at Inter Milan!

It's almost done. Manchester United players feel that it's almost done. The game has returned to dullness. Manchester United no longer attacks fiercely. Inter Milan players can finally have some contact with Ibrahimovic who has weak legs. What is frustrating is that this problem has nothing to do with the chance. How can Ibrahimovic

Why does Bu's shot feel wrong? The goal that must be scored in the league is also changed to the Champions League, and it can't be scored.

The Italian's wish to score a goal did not come true in the end. The final score was still 3:0. Manchester United eliminated the Serie A giant Inter Milan with a score of 6:0 in two rounds.

After the game, the media rushed to interview the Manchester United players. The story of Mourinho and Manchester United frequently appeared in the English and Italian media after the Champions League quarter-finals between the Red Devils and Inter Milan. Mourinho is regarded as Ferguson's successor.

Popular, but Manchester United’s main striker Li Yu said that with

During the Nerazzurri game, they didn’t care about Mourinho. Manchester United’s first-year rookie Li Yu didn’t even know that Sir Alex Ferguson’s record against the “Madman” was at a disadvantage. Before the 3:0 win the night before, Ferguson was against Mourinho.

Rinho won only 2 games and lost 6 games in 13 games.

"We are very happy to advance. To be honest, I don't know the record between Manchester United and Mourinho's team, I don't know." Li Yu said after defeating Inter Milan, "The game is not about Mourinho.

, but Manchester United vs. Inter Milan, thank God we passed. I don’t care who our opponent is in the next round, no matter who we are, we will face a difficult game, because at this stage there is no easy team to deal with in the Champions League.”

"The important thing is that we play well and win games, and we hope this continues. We will only try to win games and go as far as possible this season." Li Yu added.

Manchester United midfielder Carrick emphasized the importance of promotion on the mutv program. Although some people thought that they did not play well against Inter Milan, Carrick recognized this judgment. However, he said: "We are not in the best condition, we know

.But promotion was the goal and we achieved it with three great goals.”

"We started well and the atmosphere at the start was unbelievable. You could see how we started: we really prepared ourselves and scored, but as the game went on we didn't kick

to the level it should be.”

"I have to give credit to the opponents, they came back into the game and caused us a lot of trouble. But when we came out in the second half, we scored another goal and after that Manchester United took control of the game. I took them off with two chances, but now

It doesn't matter anymore, I always felt like we were in control and we're very happy."

"At this stage, the Champions League is full of good teams, so it's difficult to choose one or two teams. But any game will be difficult, we know that, so we will be ready. The Champions League at Old Trafford

The night was always great and hopefully there will be more to come this season."

There won't be any other news after the game between the two teams, of course not.

Mourinho, who did not appear on the coaching bench, appeared in the newspaper the next day.

British media revealed that when Inter Milan were taking the bus to leave Old Trafford after the game, a fan sang the insulting song "You're going home, you're going home" to Mourinho. As a result, he was attacked by a Portuguese madman.

boxing.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed it had received the report and had requested CCTV footage from the area from Manchester United for investigation purposes. "Shortly before 12pm last night, a man reported that he was at Old Trafford.

He was punched in the face outside." A police spokesman said last night, "We are investigating this common assault case."

Manchester United only confirmed it was aware of the case but refused to make further comments. At present, it is not known whether Mourinho needs to return to the UK for further investigation.

In addition, during the game, Inter Milan forward Balotelli was also involved in another controversial incident. According to r-TV reports, the star of hope, nicknamed "Prodigy", was racially abused by Manchester United fans.

Balotelli, whose parents are Ghanaian, became a thorn in the side of Manchester United fans because he cursed Ronaldo several times after committing fouls during the two rounds of the game against Manchester United. At Old Trafford, the 18-year-old Balotelli

Every time he received the ball, he was inevitably booed in the stands, and on at least two occasions, including when he was replaced by Figo in the 70th minute, some Manchester United fans made racist attacks on him that imitated gorilla noises.

r reporter Enrique Variale said: "We always criticize Italians for too many racist behaviors, but Manchester United fans are obviously not polite to Balotelli."

In this round of Champions League matches, Chelsea striker Didier Drogba was said to have been subjected to the same racist insults as Balotelli during a visit to Juventus.
