Chapter 1014

Fan Bizhuang's absence due to injury has had a considerable impact on Manchester United's overall strength. However, in other positions, Manchester United is well-managed. In this game, Ferguson also played the main role.

Kaka, Rooney, Carrick, Scholes... In terms of players, Manchester United's side is almost all star level, and their strength is still strong.

Compared with the visiting team, the starting lineup of the home team seems to be much less star-studded. Perhaps these players are well-known in the German arena, but they are not enough to look at in the entire European football world, except that Raul is a superstar. , Schalke 04 does not have a big-name star who can make a move.

It can be said that this Schalke 04 team is more powerful than famous, and it is inclined to a practical team. Players in the team, such as Metzelder and Huntelaar, have also played for rich clubs, but they are in the rich teams. His performance did not meet people's expectations, and in the end he left the team sadly, went far away, and started a new life journey.

All in all, in terms of strength on paper, the conclusions of many media and professionals before the game are not unreasonable. Manchester United does have a lot of advantages and is more likely to be able to score points in the away game.

From the very beginning of the game, Manchester United played extremely aggressively, as if they were going to attack wildly in the away game - this is also Ferguson's tactical strategy. He also has scruples about away games, but his idea is to face the difficulties, Try to use the offensive to suppress the home team on the opponent's ground, and try to score earlier. As long as they get an away goal, the situation is bound to be extremely beneficial to Manchester United. Manchester United can shrink their defense and play defensive counterattacks leisurely.

The quick attack in the first two or three minutes really caught Schalke 3 by surprise, especially in the third minute, Kaka broke through with the ball from the middle, and suddenly went straight to Owen, who shot a strong kick from the penalty area, almost A goal was scored. Although the crisis was finally resolved by the young German goalkeeper Neuer, but even so, the home team players and fans were all in a cold sweat.

However, in the first few minutes, they failed to turn their advantages into goals, and Manchester United's offensive strength suddenly decreased a lot. , The young Schalke 04 players made it all the way to the semi-finals, and accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with strong teams. Coupled with the fact that a veteran like Raul plays a leading role in guiding, Schalke 04 became more and more skilled as they played.

What is surprising is that Schalke 04 did not play conservatively at all. Although their strength was not as good, they were full of momentum. A battle started.

The scene suddenly became exciting and good-looking.

Seeing such a scene, Ferguson on the sidelines had a look of surprise on his face, but he suddenly realized that this is the home court of Schalke 04 after all, although they are recognized as the weakest of the top four. The team, but it can advance to the semi-finals, naturally wants to go further. Therefore, in the case of playing at home first, it is natural not to be too conservative and strive to win.

Ferguson nodded. This kind of offensive situation is beneficial to Manchester United in the away game. With the strength of Manchester United, they are not afraid to play against any opponent, especially in the away game. Even if the home team can score, Manchester United also has the advantage. It is very hopeful to score goals. As long as there are away goals, Manchester United will undoubtedly have a great advantage in the two rounds.

"Attack! Attack!"

Ferguson waved his hand towards the field and signaled loudly.

The Manchester United players who received the hint from the head coach are more active on the field, constantly organizing offensives and attacking the opponent's half.

Naturally, Schalke 04 was not to be outdone, and played against Manchester United very lively.

"Shortly after the start of the game, the two teams came out and staged a good show! Ha, for the fans, this is really a blessing!"

"Although the overall strength is not as good as Manchester United, Schalke 04 has shown a great desire to win at home. They are eager to go further in the Champions League... Oh, oh, Raul's erratic movement in the frontcourt , catch the ball, shoot... oh, the football brushed the post and crossed the baseline, Van der Sar broke out in a cold sweat!"

"It's Manchester United's turn to attack... Owen, who replaced Van, was very active as the starting striker for this game...Rooney passed the ball, Owen raised his foot and shot...The football hit Metzelder's side, The bottom line popped...now it's United's corner!"

"...The corner kick was blocked, Schalke 04 launched a quick counterattack!"

The commentators from various European TV stations kept exclaiming in the commentary seats. The fast-paced confrontation on the field and the wonderful scenes performed made all the commentators enter a state of excitement.

The fans of both sides in the stands were obviously stimulated and screamed again and again. Such an open style of play is indeed easy to make people excited. There may be concerns about their own goals, but as the game becomes more and more exciting, more It became more and more exciting, and the fans also gave up the little worry in their hearts, and they all shouted for the team they supported.

"The pace of the game is so fast, the two sides almost don't need to defend the general offense, which is a good thing for Manchester United!"

In the stands, Molina smiled and nodded. Although he is not a professional player or a professional coach, he has worked hard in football for decades, so he still has some insight. In his opinion, such a The situation is undoubtedly extremely beneficial to Manchester United. Even if the two sides seem to be evenly matched at this stage, everyone has a chance to score, but after all, Manchester United's hard power is superior, and the possibility of scoring first is naturally greater.

Fan Bizhuang nodded in agreement. With Manchester United's current staffing in various positions and strong strength, they are not afraid of fighting against any team. On the contrary, they are worried that they will be determined to defend and break the Intensive defense is a worldwide problem. No matter how strong Manchester United is, it is extremely difficult to attack a team that wants to defend.

But now it is different. Schalke 04 dared to pull out and fight Manchester United. Although they created a lot of scoring opportunities, Fan Bizhuang was not worried at all. He had the same idea as Ferguson. The ball, but as long as Manchester United can score away goals, then Manchester United will take advantage.

"The team's offensive is becoming more and more threatening. I am afraid that it is not far from the birth of a goal."

When Fan Bizhuang was saying this, the situation on the field changed in the blink of an eye, as if corresponding to what he said. Two minutes after the voice fell, Manchester United, which had always been actively launching an offensive, finally broke through the home team's goal. city ​​gate.

No. In 203 minutes, Manchester United's continuous passing in the midfield tore a hole in the home team's defense line. Owen pulled out of the penalty area to catch the ball with his back, and with a light push, the football was sent to the feet of Nani who was on the edge. The latter waded the ball Going forward, he made a resolute pass from the bottom, Rooney grabbed a point in front of the goal, the football was slapped by Neuer, who reacted very quickly, but it didn't bounce far, Kaka suddenly appeared in the middle of the penalty area, and he fell to the ground and shot , Shoveled the football into the empty goal!

0: 1!

Manchester United took the lead in scoring in the away game, leading by one goal!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! In this fierce and exciting confrontation, the first goal was finally born...from Kaka...the Brazilian superstar scored his fifth goal in the Champions League this season! In the absence of Fan, the Brazilian carried the banner to lead the team forward! Beautiful goal! 1:0! Manchester United lead!"

"The problem is now thrown to Schalke 04. They are behind by one goal at home. If the miners still have hope of advancing to the final, then they must work harder to find goals!"

There were only about a thousand fans of the visiting team in the stands. The moment the ball fell into the king of the ball, they all jumped up with vibrating arms and shouted excitedly.

Fan Bizhuang and others also clapped their hands excitedly, looking relaxed. The team scored an away goal, which meant that the initiative to advance was gradually slipping into the hands of Manchester United.

inside the field.

Kaka got up from the ground and ran excitedly to celebrate. His teammates followed him and shouted.

Ferguson clapped his hands excitedly on the sidelines, his joy was beyond words.

Leading by one goal and also having an away goal, this is an extremely perfect start.Even if Manchester United does not perform very well afterwards and maintains this score, then returning to the home court, Manchester United's hopes of advancing to the final will be greatly increased!

……

The fans of the home team at the Veltins Arena seemed a little silent at the moment of losing the ball, but after a few seconds, the home fans shouted again. They were still supporting their team with cheers and songs. Their wish is actually easy to satisfy. The team's record-breaking reach to the semi-finals of the Champions League this season has already made them inexplicably happy. No matter what the final result of this game is, they have no reason to criticize their players.

Therefore, all they can do is cheer, keep cheering, keep shouting, let their players feel their strong support!

Seeing his former teammates running wildly celebrating on the field, Raul seemed a little dazed, but he soon came to his senses. The enthusiastic encouragement from the Shakhtar fans at the scene made him have no time to immerse himself in the memories of the past.

He once conquered the Bernabeu and made the Bernabeu fans cheer for him; now that he left his favorite Madrid and came here, the unreserved trust and support of the fans gave him the illusion that he is still at the Bernabeu.

Even for these enthusiastic and lovely fans, he can't back down, he can never give up!

"Don't lose heart, it's still early, we still have a chance, let's keep attacking! We need to score!"

Raúl clapped his hands and yelled at the surrounding team-mates, and then he ran back from near the center circle, headed into the goal net, and scooped up the football.

Then he ran back to the middle circle, put the ball away, and at the same time looked at the referee with his eyes, asking if the game can continue.

The Manchester United players were still celebrating crazily. The referee froze for a moment, then waved his hand, signaling the Manchester United players to end the celebration quickly and return to their positions.

Raul breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at his teammates, and drove the ball.

Everyone felt the firmness and determination from the veteran, and their spirits vibrated. They didn't think about the conceded goal anymore, but put all their experiences into the restarted game.
