After Rooney scored, the inter players finally launched the attack.
As the first half of the regular game time has exceeded, inter goalkeeper Cesar direct big foot long pass attack, but Cesar too hard, this foot long pass directly to Manchester United goalkeeper van der Sar's hands.
Referee casai also wanted to give inter a chance to attack. Seeing that the ball was taken by van der Sar, he stopped the game.
The players on both sides stopped and went to the dressing room together.
United's players are very excited to take the lead away from home. Apart from Gao Xiaodong's silent approach to the mixed channel, others are all shouting and waving their fists in the stands to celebrate with the United fans.
There was no applause in the stands. Fortunately, there were no boos. The inter players were very disappointed. Everyone walked to the dressing room with their heads closed.
Leonardo came to the home team's dressing room early to wait. After the players arrived, Leonardo saw the players in low mood and said: "in fact, we defended well in the first half, but we had bad luck, otherwise I would not have lost the ball."
Inter's players silently took off their shoes, lifted the shin guards and massaged their muscles. No one said anything. They thought the coach would not believe him. According to the situation in the first half, it should be said that inter had too much luck, otherwise it would not be a ball to lose.
Leonardo continued: "now that Manchester United have scored an away goal, we can't defend any more in the second half. We have to attack. In the second half of Chivu, SA went to play as a defender. Pandev came on to play with Eto'o. in the first half, I observed that Manchester United's Centre back amarin and full back O'Shea have weaknesses, as long as we can grasp However, we have to pay as much attention to the defensive position as the players on the field. We have to pay attention to the defensive position
Inter's offensive players are upset to hear that they are one goal behind the home court and put the defense in the same position as the attack. Do they want to win or die better?
However, in the first half, he was only one goal behind, and Rooney shot back into the net. Although the scene was too ugly, the result was not too bad. There was still a chance to pull back in the second half, and the players of Inter Milan did not openly question the coach's tactics, so they all put their doubts in their hearts.
In the dressing room of the visiting team, Manchester United players had a heated debate about whether to attack or defend in the second half. The old players headed by Scholes and Vidic thought it was an away game. The 1-0 score was very good, but it was better to play defensive counterattack to expand the score. They could not expand the score and even be equalized by Inter Milan.
Young players like Gao Xiaodong, Rooney and Nani all think that the 1-0 situation is very favorable, but it's not safe. They have to continue to attack in the second half, and they can score two points before they fight back.
Just as the players were arguing fiercely, Ferguson came and Sir Alex was happy with the first half.
Although only one goal ahead, Manchester United had the absolute advantage on the field. It really made Ferguson very happy to play the defending champion like a relegation team.
The problem of attack or defense is nothing to Ferguson, who has a strong temperament. Manchester United scored away from home. With this goal at the bottom, even if Inter Milan equalized, Manchester United also took the lead. When they returned home 0-0, they could eliminate Inter Milan. In this case, naturally, they continued to attack to see if they could win the first leg.
The 15 minutes of the half-time break passed quickly, and the two sides moved to the court from the mixed channel to start the second half.
At the beginning of the second half, inter took the lead in attacking Manchester United against the conservatism of the first half.
After Pandev came on stage, Inter's formation became 4312, with two full backs sanetti and Maicon strengthening their assists.
In the first half, the attacking players of inter were depressed. In the second half, with the order of coach Leonardo, not only the two sides but also the back waist were pressed forward.
Inter's players think that after Manchester United's score is ahead, they should shrink their counterattack in the second half, but Manchester United didn't. They still pushed their defense to the midfield, starting to intercept and close down from near the central circle, resisting the enemy outside the penalty area.
Maicon held the ball and played a match with Motta in the middle. He passed Rooney and continued to attack the bottom line. Sneijder moved to the side to meet Maicon.
Manchester United's left back Evra saw Fletcher assist on the flank and immediately retreated to wait with Fletcher to defend Maicon.
Maicon wants to cooperate with Sneijder in the middle. Seeing that Gao Xiaodong is following Sneijder closely, he dares not pass the ball, so he risks to go forward and eat Fletcher with speed.
Evra's speed is not slower than Maicon's. Maicon can't get rid of Evra. He forced a cross from the side and was blocked by Evra's foot.
Inter got a corner.
Sneijder took the corner and looked for the double centre backs Lucio and La Nokia in the middle of the penalty area.
However, Manchester United's air defense is not ambiguous, Vidic snatched the landing point, a head out.
Manchester United didn't seek stability in the second half, even when defending the corner, there were three players on the outside who grabbed the second point.
The second spot of the ball was snatched by Scholes. After Scholes snatched the spot, he quickly got rid of Motta's pressure and found Gao Xiaodong who was fast forward. From defense to attack, inter still have Stankovic who is in charge of long-range shooting staring at Gao Xiaodong, but it's useless. Gao Xiaodong suddenly starts this very fast, even the peak Stankovic can't keep up, let alone the old Stankovic.Scholes's foot ball is very beautiful. Gao Xiaodong doesn't need to slow down after starting. He strides the ball forward and only kills Zanetti and Cambiasso who are left behind by Inter Milan.
Scholes didn't stand still after passing a good ball to Gao Xiaodong. Ginger head ran forward with Gao Xiaodong, preparing to give Gao Xiaodong a point when he was blocked with the ball.
Gao Xiaodong uses his eyes to see Scholes keep up with the ball. He is more unscrupulous and accelerates to saneti. When he is less than five meters away from saneti, Gao Xiaodong suddenly slows down, as if to make a pass and change direction. Just when saneti and Cambiasso also slow down, Gao Xiaodong suddenly pokes the ball forward and accelerates Between Zanetti and Cambiasso.
Zanetti and Cambiasso did not expect that Gao Xiaodong would dare to break through the middle of the two. Almost subconsciously, they both moved closer to the middle and tried to close the door instead of foul Gao Xiaodong.
Whether it's Zanetti or Cambiasso, Gao Xiaodong can't break through as long as they do a leg extending interception, but they both want to close the door and give Gao Xiaodong a chance. The "door" of them has not been closed yet. Gao Xiaodong has arrived. Zanetti and Cambiasso subconsciously reach out to pull Gao Xiaodong's shirt together, but it's too late and they haven't come yet And force, was the same as the galloping armored car high Xiaodong rushed past.
