spn As the second half of the game began, Manchester United players resolutely implemented the tactics specified by Ferguson during the halftime break. They found that Barcelona launched a crazy attack after a war of attrition in the first 5 minutes. Manchester United players became more determined to defend and counterattack.
The strategy is actually known to all Manchester United players on the field. When playing against Barcelona players who are skilled at their feet, perhaps this counterattack tactic is more effective. Manchester United is also good at counterattacks.
"The game has gone on for 55 minutes, and the score on the field is still 1:1! During the period after the start of the second half, Barcelona fully demonstrated their offense. The heavy rain during the first half of the game has now stopped
It was raining, and Barcelona, who had adapted to the field...beautiful! Harvey successfully intercepted in the midfield! This was originally a counterattack by Manchester United! Park Ji-sung's pass was intercepted by Harvey. The Koreans' offensive performance today was somewhat
Generally speaking, the defense is okay! Barcelona counterattacked! Messi got the ball!! He didn't mean to pass the ball, he dribbled the ball, continued to dribble, forward...forward!!"
Although Iniesta and Busquets were running wildly and actively supporting the offense led by Messi, Messi had no intention of passing the ball. He was determined to go it alone and resolutely dribbled the ball to break through.
.
This game has special significance for Messi. Although he recognized Li Yu's ability during the halftime break, Messi still wants to give this young Chinese man who has been so popular recently a showdown.
, unknowingly he had forgotten that he was competing with Ronaldo, another Manchester United core player. Top players are all proud of themselves. If they lose in the first game they face, they may become a favorite in their hearts.
It is a shadow that cannot be erased in a lifetime. It is better to leave this shadow to the young people of China!
Messi has realized that Li Yu's threat is even greater than that of Ronaldo. What he has to do at this moment is to give his opponents an image of being invincible in the minds of his opponents in the crucial finals. This is very important.[
When faced with Giggs' interception, Messi simply moved the football to the left, then suddenly accelerated and passed the ball!
Giggs looked at the back of the little man who was carrying the ball away, and was a little shocked. However, he did not stop, but quickly stuck to Iniesta who was coming up from the other side, and at the same time loudly ordered his teammates to return to defense.
.
Ferdinand entangled Messi. However, what Ferdinand did not expect was that no matter how much interference from his side, Messi could always control the football at his feet. Even if Evra came up to help defend, Messi was guarded by the two.
One person can still tenaciously bring the football to the edge of the penalty area, and only needs an inside cut to cut into the penalty area!!
Ferdinand didn't hesitate anymore. When Messi wanted to break through again, he neatly knocked Messi to the ground.
The referee Busaka's whistle also sounded decisively, and he blew the foul cleanly.
Ferdinand was a little angry. He glared at Messi who was lying on the ground, then shrugged and stepped back.
Of course he knows how powerful Messi is. Apart from Li Yu and Ronaldo, this is another hot young superstar in international football. But compared with these two from Manchester United, Messi still needs a heavyweight champion to prove himself. Obviously
, today’s Champions League final makes this Argentinian boy very excited!
Messi stood up from the ground and spat. It seemed as if there was mud in his mouth, and his teeth felt very uncomfortable.
The location of Ferdinand's foul was very dangerous, which is why Ferdinand was very unhappy. The two of them guarded Messi and actually gave the opponent a free kick in such a good position.
It is about 23 meters away from the goal and can be shot directly.
This kind of direct free kick in a good position is a good opportunity for Barcelona. Xavi and Henry are good free kick players in the Barcelona team. Messi also has good free kick skills.
However, the person standing at the penalty spot was still an Argentinian villain named Messi.
The camera focused on the Argentinian standing in front of the ball. The expression on his face was serious. He would not give up such a good opportunity so easily and could not tolerate any mistakes. Looking at the tall and powerful Manchester United
Messi had no performance in the wall of players. He always looked at the players in the Barcelona penalty area, giving people the illusion that he was going to pass the ball.
"Messi's expression is very serious, but his eyes have not been looking at Manchester United's goal but at the opponent's penalty area. Could this be a fake look?" Duan Xuan said in the on-site commentary.
He was surprised by the nouns and fake movements in his eyes, but what he wanted to express was already very clear. Messi just wanted to shoot, not a pass at all!
The referee Busaca's whistle sounded, and the little Argentinian started to run, swing his feet, and shoot. The football flew up with grass clippings!
Although the old Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar tried his best to save, he still couldn't touch the football...the football went into the net!!
"goooooooooooooooooooooool!!! Messi! Yes, it's Messi!! He stepped up at this moment! When the team needs a goal! The new king of Catalonia stepped up! 2:1! Barcelona leads! Great
Free kick goal from a great player!! Messi!!”
After scoring the goal, Messi seemed extremely excited. The Argentinian changed his usual gentle celebration. He rushed towards the stands where the Barcelona fans were standing with a ferocious look on his face. He kneeled down and let out his emotions with a roar!
!
The Barcelona fans were completely crazy. They roared, cheered, and shouted Messi's name. This season they have become accustomed to the title of their new king. Now they are very proud that their new king is leading the team to take a step forward.
Towards victory.[
Soon, Messi's relatively short figure was buried under the teammates who were chasing behind him.
2:1!!
This goal came at the perfect time. At the critical moment, this goal was completely fatal. Messi single-handedly dominated the final.
Guardiola jumped up and down on the sidelines and raised his arms to celebrate the goal. He bet correctly again, Barcelona is now in the lead!
Ferguson was chewing gum in his mouth and watching the crazy celebrations of the Barcelona people. No one knew what the old man was thinking.
Li Yu stood in the middle circle, lifted up his jersey, wiped his face fiercely, glanced at the Barcelona players who were still celebrating the goal, but felt the heat in his lungs, walked to the sidelines, picked up mineral water and drank it
Take a sip, then pour it down.
Ferguson patted him on the shoulder, "Tell everyone, attack! Attack at all costs!"
Sure enough, they still couldn't hold on for the first 15 minutes of the second half. Now trailing 1:2, Manchester United has no other option but to attack!!
Li Yu nodded. He threw the mineral water bottle to the sidelines and strode back to the court. Like a real warrior, his steps were heavy and steady. It was impossible to tell that this situation happened to a player.
At this moment, Li Yu, who is only 21 years old, shows a different temperament than before!!!
This game is very important in Li Yu's heart! It's more important than anything else! He knows Messi's tricks, and he doesn't want to lose like this!
A game he absolutely cannot lose!!
Subsequently, Manchester United launched a crazy counterattack!
The ferocity of this counterattack surprised the Barcelona people!
However, they did not panic too much. However, Barcelona's offense was completely suppressed by Manchester United. Now everyone is watching whether Manchester United can quickly score a goal to equalize the score. You must know that Barcelona's offense is absolutely
The danger is that if the Manchester United team, which is pressing hard with all its strength, is seized by Barcelona and scores another goal, then the Manchester United team will collapse!!
On the contrary, it is also crucial for Manchester United to win the Big Ears Cup if the opponent responds immediately after scoring a goal!
In the 66th minute, Manchester United had an opportunity to attack. After Li Yu got the ball in the frontcourt, he cooperated with Rooney and hit the wall. He directly kicked the ball. The football was headed out by Puyol in front of the goal. Barcelona quickly counterattacked!!
Xavi made a very accurate long pass. Messi used his perfect foot skills to unload the ball and won applause from the Barcelona fans in the stands. However, he did not break through or pass into the penalty area, but distributed it to the right winger.
of Iniesta.
Iniesta dribbled the ball along the wing, then made an emergency stop and easily passed Evra's tackle. He did not choose to cut inside, but passed the football into the penalty area!!
Messi is too short. He took off from the front and failed to touch the football. His foot flew to the back. It is a bit difficult to expect him to score a header. There are too few such goals.
Henry appeared in people's sight, and the former King of Highbury jumped up and fired a header!!
Van der Sar's reaction this time was beyond expectations. He almost jumped into the air at the same time as Henry hit the ball, then stretched out his hands and grabbed the ball firmly in his hands. Even if it fell from the air, the ball did not escape his hands.
Van der Sar knows Henry very well. Heading is not the French striker's strong point. However, to be honest, Henry's header just now was quite good.[
Just three minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback and played wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt!
Carrick pretended to take a long shot, but handed the football to Li Yu. Li Yu leaned on Pique, fiddled with the football under his feet, suddenly picked up the football with his toes, and then turned around, just when Pique thought he was going to use a juggling act.
When the ball passed by with a normal movement, Li Yu lifted up his trailing right foot and knocked it. When the ball reached the other side, Rooney volleyed directly!
Valdes performed well and saved the football. Ronaldo got ahead of Puyol and headed the ball towards the top, but the football hit the post!!
"Wowowo!! What a pity! Manchester United was very unlucky to miss the goal!! This is really a wonderful game, with Barcelona, Manchester United, Xavi, Eto'o, Messi and Li
With Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney, a game like this will never be dull! Two teams that advocate offense gave us a wonderful confrontation... This is football!" the espn commentator was excited.
shouted.
The Manchester United fans in the stands let out a sigh of regret. No matter how wonderful the offense is, it is still useless if there are no goals!!
The Manchester United players on the field naturally knew that without a goal, everything was in vain. As the game time went by and the goal still did not appear, the emotions of the Manchester United players began to be affected, and they felt that the Manchester United team
Under offensive pressure, the defensive actions of Barcelona players on the field also began to increase. The referee Busaca had to use yellow cards to control the situation on the field. In just 10 minutes, he had already taken out 3 yellow cards.
!!
The game lasted 72 minutes, and the score was Manchester United 1:2 Barcelona!!
The camera also focused on Manchester United's Li Yu and Ronaldo at the right time... What everyone saw were determined eyes! The eyes of not giving up! The eyes of fighting!
Manchester United fans clearly knew through the big screen that their core players had not given up at this time, they were still fighting, and they could not lose to their opponents. For a moment, the Manchester United fans' stands, which had been slightly silent just now, erupted with huge cheers.
Guardiola frowned and looked at the field. Manchester United was attacking almost desperately, putting Barcelona's defense under pressure. And the makeshift defense can still hold on at this moment, which can be regarded as a big success.
It's a miracle, Guardiola certainly hopes that this miracle can continue.
Ronaldo controlled the football at his feet and looked at Sylvinho in front of him. The latter was not in a hurry to take action, but just looked at the football. His purpose was to block the long-range shot of the Portuguese in front of him.
As for Ronaldo passing the ball, Sylvinho is not afraid. Now that Barcelona is facing Manchester United's attack, the entire defensive formation is very deep. Even if Ronaldo passes the ball, there will be no Manchester United players to catch the ball.
What a great opportunity.
Li Yu quickly came over to help. The Portuguese immediately knocked the football to him, and he himself ran to the left side of the penalty area.
Sylvinho immediately turned around and stared at Li Yu. Ronaldo was already being defended by Xavi to keep up with him. Barcelona's defense was very active.
Sylvinho stared closely at Li Yu's feet. The football was being stepped on by Li Yu. Sylvinho followed closely, and Li Yu had no room to break through.
At this time, both Ronaldo and Rooney were heading into the penalty area. This was a good time to pass the ball!
Li Yu stepped on the football and pulled it inward. Sylvinho thought that Li Yu was going to use his heel to pass the ball to Ronaldo or Rooney, who was coming in. He reacted immediately, and his body followed.
When Rooney ran past Li Yu from the right, Li Yu moved. He pushed and pulled the football, and then picked it up with his toes! The football flew up!
Then Li Yu burst out like a leopard and flew past Sylvinho!
"It's so beautiful!" The commentator exclaimed, what did they see?!
Li Yu picked up the football, but instead of passing it to Rooney, he picked it in the opposite direction. Over there, Ronaldo lifted up his trailing heel and with a gentle touch, the football flew into the penalty area!
The ball has arrived and the people have arrived!
Li Yu sprinted in front of the football without any unnecessary movement, and just volleyed it!!
Sylvinho behind him tried to intercept, but it was already too late!
"An unimaginable one-two!! An incredible shot!"
Everyone applauded Li Yu's shot. When the Barcelona fans thought they were about to concede a goal, Valdes stepped forward again!!
Valdes flew over and grabbed the football in the air with both hands. After landing, he quickly curled up and protected the football to his chest without letting go.
Valdes performed well, but Li Yu pursued the angle too much this time, and the power and speed of the shot were much smaller. Although the angle was very good, Valdes still made a wonderful save and saved the football!!
"Damn it! Don't let him shoot again!!!" Valdes got up from the ground, holding the football and punching his teammates and yelling. During this time, Barcelona, which is famous for its offense in Europe, was beaten by Manchester United.
The offensive was completely suppressed! This made Valdes very dissatisfied. In such an important game as the Champions League final, as a goalkeeper, becoming the focus of the camera is definitely not a good thing for a team, even though they are still leading the goal.
Team, but if you get used to being beaten by your opponent, you won’t be able to attack anymore!
The goal didn't go in, but fans and commentators were still full of praise.
The commentators repeatedly commented on Manchester United's attack just now, from Li Yu's keen observation and unexpected imagination, to Rooney's fake run, Li Yu's beautiful pass, and the tacit understanding between him and Ronaldo.
In the end, the Portuguese made a beautiful heel kick and Li Yu's volley shot!
Everything satisfies those who support Manchester United, and they also believe that the goal will definitely appear!
Puyol patted Sylvinho on the shoulder. He could see that Sylvinho was a little frustrated. Puyol comforted him, but also reminded Sylvinho to be firmer when facing Li Yu again.
, don’t wait for Li Yu to make a move first and then react. By then it will actually be too late.
Li Yu looked extremely annoyed when he saw the football being held firmly by Valdes. He glanced at the Barcelona goalkeeper unwillingly, and then walked back backwards.
Ferguson decided to strike while the iron was hot. In the 79th minute of the game, he made the first adjustment of the game. He replaced Giggs with Scholes and replaced Giggs with a more physically fit veteran.
As he gets older, in such a fierce competition, Giggs can no longer run at this time.
At this time, there were only ten minutes left before the end of the game, and the Barcelona fans at the Olimpico Stadium had already begun to celebrate the championship. Barcelona's red and blue team flags were swaying in the night sky of Rome.
The fans of Manchester United did not give up. They used their songs to cheer for the team and encourage them. They believed in their team without any reservation, and they also firmly believed that Manchester United would not let them down!
