After the ball bounced out, it just fell at Ferdinand's feet. Ferdinand opened it with a big foot to solve the dangerous situation.
However, Tottenham have just created a threat in Manchester United's penalty area and disrupted United's position. How can the opponent stabilize again? The ball flew to the half of Tottenham and was kicked to the penalty area by the defender of Tottenham.
Van der Sar is very experienced. Seeing his opponent's big kick, he rushed to the penalty area quickly and held the ball in his arms.
Gao Xiaodong immediately ran to the side and reached out to van der Sar for the ball to fight back.
Van der Sar also observed that the opponent did not go back in the first time, throwing the ball quickly to Gao Xiaodong.
Tottenham players also saw Gao Xiaodong want the ball, quickly ran to close down, Gao Xiaodong did not hesitate to catch the ball is a long pass, looking for the top in the front of Berbatov.
Gao Xiaodong passed the ball accurately, and Berbatov handled the ball quickly and steadily. The defender was very close to Berbatov, but when Tottenham defender William Gallas came up, Berbatov had stopped the ball at his feet.
Gallas came to Berbatov to hold him back, waiting for his teammates to come back.
Berbatov is not a very unique player, he saw that the risk of forced turn is too big, he directly passed the ball back to Rooney, who quickly inserted it, and turned to run forward.
If Rooney has the footwork of Gao Xiaodong and Scholes, he can pass it directly, and Berbatov is a beautiful single shot against offside.
But Rooney has neither this footwork nor this idea. Now it's time for him to perform well and fight for the captain. Where does Rooney want to cooperate with Berbatov? He takes the ball forward and rushes to the Spurs' penalty area quickly.
At this time Modric has come back to defend, he directly a flying shovel, want to use tactical fouls to destroy United's counterattack.
Rooney's speed is very fast. When Modric tackled, Rooney accelerated the ball forward, dodged Modric and continued to push forward.
Rooney just accelerated the ball, the ball away from the body a little bit, Tottenham centre back Kable immediately rushed to steal.
Half the chance, Rooney was a little bit faster, put the ball to the side first, but he and Kable still collided.
Rooney is also a short and strong body, usually like boxing, strength is very strong, caboor originally wanted to get stuck in front of Rooney, a touch, Rooney directly knocked to the ground.
However, a little delay, Modric and Tottenham full back arrived, Rooney lost the chance to attack forward.
Rooney helpless, can only cross the ball to Berbatov, looking for opportunities to cooperate.
The ball can't go down and pass again. What have you been doing? Berbatov is speechless.
Rooney's Cross, Spurs players back more, Manchester United has lost the opportunity to fight back, Berbatov can only pass the ball back to Gao Xiaodong to play positional warfare.
Gao Xiaodong was not in a hurry. He took the ball and passed it back to the defender. Manchester United are still one goal ahead at the moment. If they have a chance to fight back, they will fight back. If they don't have a chance to control the ball, it's a good choice to finish the first half with a score of 1-0.
Gao Xiaodong's return is very gratifying for Ferguson. He is able to judge the situation and not be rash. At this age, it's really rare.
Spurs back to the defense in place, to see United did not attack, but in their own half of the ball slowly, had to run back to close.
Tottenham couldn't help it either. They were behind and had to go out if they wanted to pull back in the last ten minutes of the first half.
In the face of Tottenham's push, Manchester United fell seven or eight feet in the back court, and then passed to Gao Xiaodong. After getting rid of Modric's push, Gao Xiaodong suddenly changed the rhythm and drove the ball from the middle to the half court of Tottenham.
Tottenham quickly to the middle of the contraction, packet interception of high winter.
Gao Xiaodong attracted the middle defense, didn't stick the ball, directly split the side, passed to Giggs.
Giggs can match Gao Xiaodong's rhythm very well. When Gao Xiaodong controls the ball in the back court, he helps to meet him in the back. Gao Xiaodong suddenly cuts forward, and he also quickly follows along the side road.
Gao Xiaodong divides the ball and has a lot of space on the side. Giggs did not hesitate, decisive ball along the side to the bottom line breakthrough.
Lennon also moved to the middle of the road at this time, and his attention was not on Giggs. When Gao Xiaodong was assigned to his side, Lennon turned his head and saw Giggs' forward assist.
Lennon ran to the side to stop Giggs.
Giggs was called the son of the wind in Wales when he was young. Now he is old and can't run any more, but he has rich experience in attacking from the side.
Giggs tried his best to run forward, attracted Lennon to the side, quickly crossed the middle to Gao Xiaodong, and ran to the middle.
Tottenham think Gao Xiaodong and Giggs have to change positions, Jenas immediately close to Gao Xiaodong, intend to follow Gao Xiaodong to the side.
Giggs and Gao Xiaodong attracted the defensive attention, did not expect that Evra has quickly come up from the back assists, Gao Xiaodong has a wide field of vision, after receiving the ball, see Evra forward, immediately put the ball straight behind the guard.These two feet easily broke through Spurs' right defense, Evra caught up with the ball near the baseline and passed the ball to the penalty area.
Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov from Manchester United's midfield outflanked in place, forming a double ghost racket.
Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez took a chance and hit the ball out of the penalty area with two fists. However, he also collided with Rooney, who rushed forward, and both fell into the penalty area.
This hit is not light, Gomez knee hit Rooney's chest, Rooney's top of the head to Gomez's belly, two people holding the stomach in the restricted area rolling.
After the ball hit the penalty area, it fell in front of Gao Xiaodong. No matter whether two players in the penalty area were injured or not, and whether the Spurs players raised their hands, Gao Xiaodong suspended the ball into the net with a chest stop and one end of the arch.
After the goal, Gao Xiaodong raised his hands and turned around to celebrate.
The referee hesitated for a moment and pointed to the middle circle to signal that the goal was valid.
After United scored a goal, Tottenham still had the upper hand in attack. According to the situation of the game, it's hard to predict the outcome. However, if Gao Xiaodong scored the second goal, Tottenham will be gone.
Tottenham people are very angry and come to the referee to protest. They think Gao Xiaodong's immoral goal should be cancelled because the goalkeeper is still lying on the ground and the injury is unknown.
The referee knew that Gao Xiaodong's goal was not bright enough, but just before he had time to stop the game, Gao Xiaodong scored the goal, which did not violate the rules. He had to admit the goal, otherwise there would be more controversy after the game.
The Manchester United fans in the stands have begun to applaud and shout: "good ball! It's a good ball
Although knowing that it is impossible for the referee to change his mind, the angry spurs still besieged the referee and exerted pressure on him. Some people used to accuse Gao Xiaodong of being shameless and shameful.
Referee Gomez saw his authority was challenged, angry, he took out a yellow card to warn the happiest Modric.
Spurs see the referee move the real, dare not siege, gray past to see their goalkeeper.
When Tottenham goalkeeper and Rooney collide, they both take action. Rooney is more seriously hit, but he has thick skin and strong fighting ability. It will be OK after a while, and Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez has no big problem, that is, when Tottenham players besiege the referee, he will have a rest.
Gao Xiaodong scored twice with a controversial goal, which angered the Tottenham players. In the remaining five or six minutes of the first half, Tottenham tried their best to attack, but because they were too impatient to create good shooting opportunities, they could only go back to the dressing room with the result of two goals behind.
