Chapter 914

With the whistle of Hungarian referee casai, the first leg of the last 16 Champions League knockout match between inter and Manchester United officially began.

The first team to kick off was visiting Manchester United.

Last season, Manchester United lost to Inter Milan in the Champions League final, the club's highest event. They were always worried about it and were waiting for revenge. However, UEFA was so proud that the two teams met in the eighth final.

Now Manchester United have brought in Inter's core Gao Xiaodong, in excellent condition. Even when they face the defending champion who has defeated them, they are full of confidence and attack Inter at the beginning.

Manchester United today discharged 433 attack formation, the sword point at Inter centre back lanozia.

Lanozia is a native Italian player. He is famous in Genoa. Because Inter's main centre back Samuel was seriously injured in the season, he was almost reimbursed. Inter only spent 15 million to buy lanozia during the winter break.

Lanozia is 1.95 meters tall and has no problem with air defense, but his speed is slow, his turn is slow, and there is no tacit cooperation with Lucio. This is the key breakthrough of Manchester United's game today.

The ball passed back to the midfield from the center circle and then back to the back line. As inter played conservatively today, they arranged a 451 formation, and the focus of Inter's marking was on Gao Xiaodong. It didn't take much energy for Manchester United to pass the ball from the back line to the midfield again. After three passes and two falls, the ball went to Scholes's feet.

Scholes tried to pass the ball to Berbatov, but Inter also knew that their centre back was a weakness. They also paid great attention to protecting lanozia when defending. Cambiasso was stuck in front of Berbatov, cutting off the connection between Berbatov and the midfield, reducing Berbatov's direct impact on La Nokia.

If the opponent's air defense ability is poor, or his forward is an air bully, Scholes will pass the high-altitude ball directly, but Berbatov '.

Nani is in good shape today, pushing forward quickly with the ball to reach inter left back Chivu.

Although Chivu was not the main force of last season's treble, it was because he was injured last season. In the position of defender, his strength was not weak. Facing the fierce Nani, Chivu stepped back to prevent Nani from breaking through himself with speed.

Today's midfield captain sanetti did not let Chivu face Nani alone. He quickly approached Chivu and wrapped Nani.

Manchester United lost too much in the Champions League final last season. The players wanted revenge. Nani didn't hold the ball as much as he did in the league. Seeing Zanetti pulling the edge, he suddenly stopped and turned around to pass the ball back to defender O'Shea who came up with assists.

If this is a normal game, O'Shea will pass back to Fletcher or centre back Vidic, but today everyone is full of the desire to attack. O'Shea will pass straight to find his center Berbatov.

The 30-year-old O'Shea's passing skill can't be compared with that of the midfield, but at the moment, the midfield players of both sides incline to the side, the number of midfield players is relatively small, O'Shea's passing is not difficult, and the ball accurately finds Berbatov.

Berbatov was also very active today. Instead of waiting for the ball in the same place, he was quick to meet the ball.

If today's central defender partner of Inter Milan is Lucio and Samuel, Lucio will go up, but now with Lucio is La Nokia, Lucio dare not go up, can only let La Nokia go up.

Pull Nokia speed is not fast, with half a step slow, did not be able to catch the ball in Berbatov the first time to destroy the ball, Berbatov skillfully put the ball back to the fast insert of Gao Xiaodong.

This is the essence of Manchester United's tactics today, which is to strike the short board in the middle of Inter Milan, let Berbatov look for the chance to pull Nokia alone, or return to the middle to find Scholes and Gao Xiaodong.

Berbatov, who is not fast in the middle today, is to make use of Berbatov's passing ability. If Hernandez or Rooney is replaced, the flexibility may be better, but the passing ability can't be compared with Berbatov.

Berbatov lived up to Ferguson's trust and made a goal for Gao Xiaodong in the first minute.

Gao Xiaodong has been watched today, and Inter Milan have taken the most rigorous defense against him today. Although he is not man to man, there are people following him in any area, and he is determined not to give Gao Xiaodong the chance to get the ball.

However, Berbatov's foot returned to Gao Xiaodong's chance. Gao Xiaodong started fast and immediately got rid of Sneijder, who was keeping watch on him. Stankovic, the assistant defender, did not keep up with him and was snatched by Gao Xiaodong.

At 30 meters, Gao Xiaodong saw that he had entered his own range. He didn't hesitate to meet the ball with a long shot.

Bang!

The ball was hit by Gao Xiaodong's instep and quickly flew to the goal. The dull sound was transmitted to every fan's eardrum through the TV screen.

Gao Xiaodong's long-range shooting ability is too clear for Inter fans. However, there are still 30 meters away from the goal. At this distance, Gao Xiaodong's long-range shots are countless. Now Cesar's state is very general, and Inter fans tremble when they see Gao Xiaodong's starting.Fortunately, Cesar is also familiar with Gao Xiaodong. Seeing that Berbatov's ball was passed back to Gao Xiaodong, he played 12 points and was ready to save.

Move! Kick the floor! Flying fish!

Cesar saved a long-range shot to the left of the goal.

Lucio quickly went to help Cesar, patted him on the head, thanks for his just save.

Just now Gao Xiaodong was able to get the chance to shoot, and the mistake was made by the central defender. If the ball is scored, the biggest pot is La Nokia, but as the partner of La Nokia, Lucio is certainly to blame.

United got the chance of corner kick, Scholes came to the corner flag area to take the corner kick, Gao Xiaodong was waiting at the front of the restricted area.

Gao Xiaodong's position is very cunning. He is a little far away from the line of the big restricted area, which makes Cambiasso a little uncomfortable. He sticks close to Gao Xiaodong. If Gao Xiaodong plunges into the restricted area, he can't keep up. If he doesn't stick close to Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong will have a chance to shoot directly.

In the past, Gao Xiaodong's cleverness benefited inter and made their opponents feel uncomfortable. Now it's Inter's turn to feel the taste.

With Gao Xiaodong's first shot, Cambiasso dare not put Gao Xiaodong. He clings to Gao Xiaodong and drags Gao Xiaodong's shirt to slow down the starting speed of Gao Xiaodong as much as possible.

Scholes took a look at the positions of Gao Xiaodong and Fletcher, and decisively passed the ball to the penalty area to give the midfield a chance to shoot.

At the moment when Scholes started, Gao Xiaodong immediately pushed Cambiasso and quickly thrust into the penalty area.

Cambiasso originally held Gao Xiaodong's shirt. When Gao Xiaodong pushed him, he wanted to hold it hard, but he didn't expect that Gao Xiaodong's shirt was not an ordinary one. His hand slipped and he didn't catch it. He could only watch Gao Xiaodong rush into the penalty area at high speed, jump up high and fight for the header.

In the restricted area is the man to man defense, inter players are staring at their own people, while staring at the ball flying in the air, no one can prevent Gao Xiaodong, inter defender Lucio is preparing to head the ball, Gao Xiaodong grabs the landing point first, forcing Lucio to head the ball to the top right corner of the goal.

Cesar's attention is also very focused this time, but the angle of the top of the ball is very difficult, and Cesar can't touch the ball after moving and flying to save.

However, Gao Xiaodong's height, after all, is still a little lower. The top part of the ball is not right, and the ball flies out of the bottom line against the crossbeam.

In the stands, many Inter fans turned pale. If the goal was scored, inter would be too passive. Even if they scored two more goals later, they would not have the advantage.

Leonardo's face changed greatly. In order to defend Gao Xiaodong, he made changes on the spot and vowed to the players that he had found a way to defend Gao Xiaodong. Unexpectedly, it was useless. Gao Xiaodong got two chances to shoot at the beginning. Although he didn't score, it caused a huge threat. It's a slap in the face.
