Do you still remember Sheringham, Manchester United’s super substitute? As a contributor to Manchester United’s Champions League victory in 1999, this former killer also talked about tonight’s final at Wembley. “Remember the glory of 1999, it was a prehistoric time.
Such an achievement. It was the 15th year of my career. I had never stood on the highest podium before, and I won three championships that season. In the last two minutes of that game, we completed the reverse of Bayern.
"Of course, I won't be surprised if Manchester United replicates the glory of the 1999 final tonight, and even decides the winner at the last moment." "Super Substitute" said.
"When you play for a team like Manchester United, you always try to win and never give up until the final whistle. The last two minutes of that game were the highlight of my career.
In the two minutes of the game, I scored the equalizer completely based on my intuition; as for the second goal, I still remember that David (Beckham) took a corner kick and reached the near post. I knew that my position was not particularly good.
, so I adjusted my body and passed the ball to the back post, knowing that we already had players lurking there."
The "ambush player" Sheringham mentioned is actually Solskjaer, who is also known as the "super substitute": "I think Ferguson already has a plan in mind to deal with Barcelona. Indeed, people sometimes
I am very afraid of the attacking line composed of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta. They are all unparalleled players, but if Manchester United can suppress them in the half, they will not be able to show their unique skills and threaten Manchester United.
"." Sheringham continued: "Similarly, Guardiola must also be racking his brains on how to restrict Rooney and Li Yu. I very much hope to see Van der Sar win Europe's highest honor at the last minute of his career.
Big Ear Cup, because he deserves such an honor."
Sheringham is full of hope for Manchester United, but another well-known player in English football, McManaman, disagrees.
"As a player who has left footprints in Liverpool and Real Madrid, I neither want Manchester United to win, nor do I want Barcelona to lift the cup. Manchester United has just surpassed Liverpool and won the 19th league championship, but if it is purely from football and viewing
From a sexual point of view, I prefer to be on the side of Barcelona. Their play is more entertaining. If I have to predict the outcome of the game, I estimate that Barcelona will win by two goals, and the score may be 2-0 or 3-1, but
, I always think it will be a thrilling game, the La Liga champion versus the Premier League champion, the scene will be very spectacular."
Will the reality be like the prediction of which senior?
1-3, in the finale of the European League, Barcelona finally bid farewell to its 1011 season with such a tragic score. Messi's goal in the first half of the game once gave Barcelona hope of winning the battle to defend the earth.
But in the end, it only helped the team avoid the fate of being bloodbathed by its opponents. Messi used his goals to exaggerate the tragedy in the empty Wembley Stadium, and at the same time, he also drew an intriguing exclamation mark on his ups and downs season.
So who is the hero of Manchester United's victory?
Ferguson unabashedly pointed out before the game: "Li Yu has matured a lot compared to two years ago. In the 2009 finals, Li Yu did not show his due strength at all. In this game, he will be the ball player."
The team’s key bargaining chip against Barcelona.” Fedi
Nande also praised: "Li Yu is always able to step forward when the team needs it. That shocking overhead kick against Manchester City was not only the most exciting scene at Old Trafford this season, but also
It proves Li Yu’s dominance in important competitions.”[
The legendary Swedish superstar Henrik Larsson, who has played for Barcelona and Manchester United, said before the game that Li Yu will exert the greatest energy behind Rooney. As long as he can stay active in the middle, he will have
Opportunity to score. The progress of the game confirmed people's speculations. Li Yuhao appeared in the team's 9th and a half position in suspense and played an extremely important role in Manchester United's offensive system.
In just 8 minutes, Li Yu almost opened the scoring for Manchester United. Van der Sar's precise long pass spanning 80 meters directly passed Barcelona's defensive formation.
This situation reminds people of the Premier League match between Manchester United and Aston Villa. Van der Sar assisted Li Yu to complete the ecstasy in the first 49 seconds of the wonderful blitz.
Unfortunately, this classic scene could not be repeated. Valdes, the best goalkeeper in La Liga this season, struck in time and destroyed the ball before Li Yu could get it.
In the 22nd minute, Li Yu took the ball on the left wing and launched a counterattack. Facing the defensive expert Mascherano, Li Yu kicked the ball directly forward and rushed out of the lane outside the sideline to accelerate overtaking. Although Mascherano finally
Just before Li Yu was about to complete the breakthrough, he fell to the ground and put down a tackle to destroy the ball and send it out of the sideline. However, this Carlos-style pass still won the applause of the fans in the audience.
When the out-of-bounds ball was kicked out, Li Yu immediately kicked the ball at a 45-degree angle and accurately found Park Ji-sung who had inserted himself into the penalty area. Unfortunately, Asia's No. 1 star, who was obviously out of shape today, failed to complete the turn immediately after stopping the ball in his chest, which was a waste.
The wonderful biography of Li Yu.
In the 27th minute of the game, Li Yu's goal began to tilt the balance of the game. Fabio stole the opponent's inbounds ball. After Li Yu got the ball, he played a one-two with Carrick, and then crossed from the right wing.
Into the penalty area, after completing the wall-breaking cooperation with Giggs, Li Yu got a shooting opportunity in the penalty area. The Red Devils
No. 9 did not stop the ball. He shot directly with his right foot in the face of Giggs' counterattack. The ball hit the upper left corner of the goal. Although Valdes made a vigorous save, it was only out of reach. This is Rooney's 9th Champions League game this season.
4 goals in the game, and this goal once rekindled Manchester United's hope of defeating the Cosmos at Wembley Stadium.
However, after the rematch, Barcelona completely took control of the game, but the score never changed.
Fans who are familiar with Manchester United know that when facing a strong opponent, Manchester United sometimes does not necessarily take the initiative. Although Barcelona takes the initiative with delicate footwork and exquisite passing and running, no one on both sides dares to take it lightly.
There are masters in the team who make the final decision!
The score of 1:1 was also a direct proof of the strength of the two masters. It was not until the 71st minute of the game that Li Yu finally broke the deadlock on the field, completed Manchester United's first shot in the second half, and also created a valuable goal.
The goal was scored when Giggs counterattacked and handed the ball to Li Yu. Li Yu curled the ball with his right foot in front of the penalty area and shot it into the near corner. This goal was quite similar to Li Yu's famous goal when he was born in Everton.
, Valdez could only watch the ball and sigh, watching the football go into the net.
2:1! Li Yu’s goal stunned fans all over the world for a few seconds. Fans all over the world couldn’t believe that such a classic goal would be replicated in such an important game, whether it was the Red Devils or Barcelona.
The fans were stunned for a few seconds before they responded to their respective positions!
On one side there is crazy celebration, on the other side there is loneliness and depression. Looking at the fans' performance for more than 70 minutes, you may know the final outcome.
The expressions of the Barcelona players on the field are not much better than those of the fans who support them. All this is written on the faces of every Barcelona player. There are still 15 minutes of finals, can they complete the counterattack!
Three minutes later, Messi's mood began to fluctuate after he missed a good scoring opportunity. His eagerness to equalize the score for the team supported Messi, who was constantly pressing and changing speed throughout the game, and ran a full 10,500 meters. At the same time, he also suffered many mistakes.
Mistakes occur due to impatience.
In the 73rd minute, Messi made a steal in midfield and ran all the way. After passing two people, he was intercepted in front of the penalty area. Just a minute later, Messi once again tried to break through in the middle. Although he turned around and wiped out a defensive player, he was intercepted in front of the penalty area.
However, Ferdinand, who was being defended, intercepted the ball.
Let's go. At the last moment of the game, Barcelona's offense could not threaten the opponent's goal, but Messi still actively mobilized his teammates in the frontcourt to launch an offensive, and used his remaining physical strength to run to the sideline to serve the ball again and again.
The team gains valuable game time.
Manchester United's season ended with a perfect ending, and at this moment, he finally ushered in the final moment. After more than 20 years of youthful blood and sweat, he could finally take a break. He once walked up to where everyone paid homage.
He has also worked hard for a living in small clubs in obscurity. Just as he said when he made his final call at Old Trafford: "Ferguson brought me here a little late."[
Well, after working hard and fighting, let this perfection interpret the true glory. He is not Yashin or Zov, he is just himself, Edwin van der Sar - a great man who left us with countless touching memories.
goalkeeper.
1 goal may be his responsibility, or it may not be his responsibility. Facing the La Liga champions with 15 goals, how do you expect a veteran goalkeeper who has been in trouble to complete an impossible task? Look.
Look at those goals - Pei
When DeRoro shot, he was only 15 yards away from Manchester United's goal. This was a very close position to the penalty spot. Van der Sar was facing a world-class shooter who could kick off the ball freely. What is right and what is wrong?
Let future generations comment.
Ferdinand said in an interview with "The Sun" before the game, "Van der Sar has always been calm, and he and I have always had a tacit understanding." And former Manchester United striker Larsson also said when talking about Van der Sar: "He
He has all the qualities a goalkeeper should have - excellent positioning in front of the goal, and he is also a master of saves. Fogg
The two best goalkeepers Sir Alex has introduced are Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar, which is one of the important reasons for the success of his coaching career. The Dutchman has maintained a high level of competitiveness for a long time.
This is something he has become accustomed to. He deserves to enjoy the finale at the biggest club."
This finale was played without any regrets. In the goalkeeper position of the Red Devils, a generation of goalkeeper appeared there again, not a Dane but Dutch veteran Edwin van der Sar.
At the award ceremony after the game, Van der Sar took off the gold medal from his chest and looked very happy, like a little urchin who had found a favorite toy. After playing with it for a long time, he then waved to the stands.
The Red Devils fans above said goodbye.
Immediately after the game, Van der Sar announced his decision to retire. In an interview with UEFA's official website, he said: "Obviously, what I need most now is some space, and maybe I will stay away from football for a while.
.Do things that interest you, such as golf. Of course, I want to spend more time with my family and children.
We are together." When he walked off the court to be interviewed by ITV, Van der Sar said: "I have done too many things in this game. Winning is the result that everyone wants to see. I am very happy that the final outcome is
It ends in a victorious way. Life always surprises people unexpectedly, and I will be grateful to everyone in my memory."
Excluding today's final, the Dutchman's save success rate in the Champions League this season is an astonishing 89%! He successfully stopped the ball 31 times when he faced opponents' shots 35 times.
Vowing to ensure that the Red Devils win the championship and perform the swansong of his career, he hopes to create a new history - at the age of 40 years and 211 days, he will become the oldest champion in the history of the Champions League, breaking the record set by former Italian goalkeeper Zoff
His record of 41 years and 86 days. Leaving without leaving any regrets is the perfect ending. However, he also wants to thank his teammates for their efforts.
This is the fifth time that Van der Sar has appeared in the final of this most prestigious European competition. Before today, the Dutchman had appeared in the Champions League final twice on behalf of Ajax and twice on behalf of Manchester United, and in
He represented Ajax in 1995 and won the Champions League trophy on behalf of Manchester United in 2008, and represented the Reds four times in four years.
The devil stood in the final arena. Manchester United finally won today. Van der Sar himself won the cup after 16 years, creating a championship miracle that spans time. The record holder is retired former Milan legend Malti
The Italians won the UEFA Champions League in 1989 and 2007, setting a record for the age span of winning the Champions League 19 years apart.
Earlier this week, UEFA announced the best lineup for this season's UEFA Champions League on its official website. In this list, Van der Sar became the deserved best goalkeeper.
UEFA commented: "It is undeniable that at the age of 40, he has already played at the peak level of his career. Previously, he played 9 times for Manchester United in the Champions League this season, including 6 clean sheets." Although "
Daily Mirror said before the game that once Manchester United wins the championship, Van der Sar will most likely win the cup on behalf of the team in the final battle. However, in the face of this possibility,
In exciting moments, the Dutch still remained calm enough before the game: "Failure is always difficult to let go. After winning the championship, your medals will go into the cupboard or safe, but if you fail, many things will be lost."
The tip slipped. I just hope that we can show a top performance in the finals. The team must be sincere and consistent to ensure that we are good enough defensively."
Now he doesn't have to do this at all. Manchester United is once again on top of Europe and has won the gold medal!
In an interview with "The Sun", Van der Sar also talked about his future plans: "You always want to perform well in the Champions League final and become a hero who saves the world. Just like the 2008 Champions League final. The same (at that time he saved Anelka's penalty kick and directly helped the team win the championship), I will always keep these memories in mind. After retiring, I will first take a coaching qualification certificate, and maybe stay in the Netherlands. Let's take a while." There was a bit of reluctance in the words of the tough guy Van der Sar, but no matter what the fate is, fate always plays tricks on those who are loyal to their faith, but no matter what the ending is, the Netherlands People will be loyal to their own choices without hesitation and create a new life.
One day, he will become a yellowed old photo in the long history of this club, allowing thousands of fans to recall this replaceable good time he once carved.
Manchester United's championship is also saving another Manchester United legend!
Since the sex scandal with porn star Imogen Thomas was exposed by the bold Scottish newspaper "The Sunday Herald", Giggs' life has been very difficult, especially when the Champions League final is imminent. Such a scandal is very difficult for the person involved. Whether Giggs or Ferguson, it is suspected that both of them are using a move to ruin their martial arts. Fortunately, the Giggs family has a good wife. Stacey, who has given birth to two children for Giggs, knows about tonight's Wembley battle. It was probably her husband's last Champions League final, and she went to Wembley to cheer her husband on.
Ferguson is also working hard to calm Giggs' mentality. On May 27, local time in the UK, when Ferguson led the team to London, the first thing he did was not to let the players go to Wembley immediately to familiarize themselves with the venue, but to take them with them. They went to the Prince Edward Theater to watch the famous musical "Jersey Boys". This was also Ferguson's original arrangement. He hoped that the preparations would be perfect. Perhaps this kind of entertainment would be more effective in relaxing the tight strings in Giggs's heart. Effect. Although Giggs, who went with the team to the Prince Edward Theater, still did not smile, he was wearing a yellow plaid shirt, a pair of black ripped jeans and white sneakers, which gave a relaxed signal. He had the support of his wife and coach. , Giggs was able to concentrate all his energy on this final.
"Daily Mail" famous columnist Des Kelly said that if Giggs wins the cup tonight, the whole world will witness the birth of a Hollywood hero movie. "When you see the scandals, it seems that the image of a good man is Do you have a strange feeling when the ruined Giggs holds the Big Ears Cup? If this really happened, then what Giggs went through is just like a routine commonly used by Hollywood screenwriters in hero movies. ——Heroes may stumble due to arrogance or encounter unkind people, and temporarily fall into the lowest point in life, but in the end they will turn around, win the opportunity to stand up, and become heroes again. The birth of a legend may always be indispensable for tragedy and inappropriate content. part."
Giggs' experience is enough to be made into a Hollywood movie. Des Kelly is right, but as God wishes, this time it is indeed a legendary movie. Although he is placed in the defensive midfielder position, he is in the midfielder position. When the team was in trouble, Giggs stood up bravely. In the 33rd minute, Li Yu got the ball from the right and drove straight in. Giggs, who broke into the penalty area like a ghost, cleverly created a wall for Li Yu, allowing the latter to enter the penalty area. Score inside! That's what veterans are for.
It also completed the most gorgeous scene in the legendary movie!
