Gao Xiaodong took the corner. Ferdinand and Vidic came to Barcelona's penalty area to fight for the header.
After the referee Kao Shaoyi whistled, Gao Xiaodong slowly ran to the corner area. The players of Barcelona didn't know what medicine Gao Xiaodong sold in hululi, but the players of Manchester United knew very well that this was the corner tactics they formulated before the game. Gao Xiaodong's running like this was to send tactical corner.
Evera, who was behind, quickly approached the side and Gao Xiaodong sent the ball to evera to cut into the penalty area.
Evra took advantage of Barcelona players did not respond, a straight plug to the ball to the line of the big penalty area.
When Gao Xiaodong arrived at the ball, Abidal, the player standing beside the goal post, also arrived. However, Abidal was half a step late and saw that they were about to bump into each other. At this time, Gao Xiaodong stepped on the ball with his left foot and pulled it with his right foot. A clever Marseille gyration shook Abidal behind him.
This is dangerous. Gao Xiaodong can shoot at the near corner directly, or cross or return in the line of the forbidden area, while goalkeeper Valdez is still moving towards the near corner.
Barcelona players must come to block Gao Xiaodong's shooting angle and pass line.
Barcelona player's ball business is very high. Gao Xiaodong has not adjusted his body after stepping on the Marseille gyration. In an instant, he pounced on three players and surrounded Gao Xiaodong in three directions. Even if Gao Xiaodong has Abidal who has just been swayed by him behind him.
It seems that Gao Xiaodong has no space to shoot and pass, but at this time, Gao Xiaodong calmly passed the ball between Pedro's legs.
Barcelona's round robin is a bit of a gamble, but because there are many people in the moment, the success rate of round robin is also very high, but Gao Xiaodong is too calm. In that case, he can find Pedro's legs are too open and pass the ball.
Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to the front of the rib of the penalty area. There was no one at this position when Gao Xiaodong passed the ball. When the ball arrived, Barcelona players found that Evra had just arrived.
Evra and Gao Xiaodong made a tactical cooperation, was to go to the middle to prevent opponents from fighting back, but saw Gao Xiaodong in the restricted area side was surrounded, Evra stayed on the left side, to prevent Gao Xiaodong was robbed after Barcelona counterattack.
It's a mistake. Originally, Evra was ready to defend. After Gao Xiaodong passed the ball, he got the best chance to shoot.
Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez has blocked to the near corner, Evra will not miss such an opportunity, he rubbed out a banana ball from the inside of his foot and shot at the back corner of the goal.
Valdez has nothing to do with such a shot, he just ran to the near corner, there is no way to go back to the far corner.
Evra's shot is also very smart. He doesn't have any power, but he rubs the back corner. There are many Barcelona players in the penalty area, but no one can touch the ball. He can only watch the ball fly to the goal.
Bang!
When Barcelona accepted the fate of losing the ball and Manchester United were ready to celebrate, the ball bounced out of the post.
"Ah Barcelona and Manchester United are almost speaking in unison.
However, the exclamation did not land, it was found that the ball just hit Rooney's head and flew into the net.
1: 1
Rooney scored the equaliser passively.
Everyone, including Rooney, was stunned, but in a flash, Manchester United reacted. Rooney took the lead in running to the stands with his arms raised. Then the Manchester United players cheered and followed Rooney to the stands.
This time, the stands became a stage for Manchester United fans. The Red Devils applauded desperately and chanted long live Manchester United and Rooney's name.
Ferguson clenched his fists and rushed to the net. After being blocked by the fourth official, the old man also yelled at the court. This goal is very important. With Barcelona's passing and cooperation, they can fight back. Manchester United will have a very hard time in the future. After the draw, Manchester United can finally take the initiative in their own hands.
In the VIP box, Manchester United's young owners also cheered and cheered for the stadium. Just now, evram and Edward were still criticizing Ferguson and Gao Xiaodong. Now they have forgotten what they said.
Barcelona coach Guardiola is very angry. He roars at the Barcelona players on the court and is very dissatisfied that they let Gao Xiaodong pass the ball. In Guardiola's opinion, the key point of losing the ball is Gao Xiaodong's pass. As for Rooney's goal, there is no way, that is bad luck.
Although Evra's shot should not be emptied, but the root of the problem lies in the choice of seizing Gao Xiaodong, then Evra will certainly have no one to defend. Barca either won't let Gao Xiaodong pass the ball, or they won't go to so many people to fight for Gao Xiaodong, leaving a man to follow Evra. Barca players didn't do both, so it's no wonder they are angry when they turn around.
Commentators leaning towards Manchester United on the commentary stand are also shouting with passion: in, in Rooney! Rooney! Evra hit the post and Rooney headed to equalize! This is a very important goal. He helped united to recover the passive situation. If they can't level the score in the second half, they will be very passive “He Hui, a Chinese commentator, praised Rooney's goal and did not forget Gao Xiaodong's passing organization Although it's a passive goal, Rooney's presence in this position is also very important. However, half of the credit for this goal should be attributed to Xiao Dong, and one third to Evra. Gao Xiaodong's passing is the most difficult part. Xiao Dong is the hero of this goal. As the core of organizing the attack, Xiao Dong has completed the task very well so far, He took on the task of Harvey and Iniesta alone... "
After Manchester United's celebration, Barcelona kicked off in the middle circle and the game resumed.
The situation on the field is still Barcelona's possession of the ball attack, Manchester United in midfield.
After two goals, the players of both sides had their own feelings about the strength and playing style of their opponents. Barcelona didn't have a good chance to send the straight ball easily, and Manchester United didn't dare to press the high position. In the last ten minutes of the first half, both sides became cautious. What's more, the
stalemate has a slight advantage over Barcelona because the ball is dominated by Barcelona, which is like a knife in Barcelona's hands. When the attack has the final say of Barcelona players, United players must be prepared to keep on guard and concentrate on the football with a high spirit. Players are very tired.
Two years ago, when Porto and Barcelona played in the final, Gao Xiaodong had a painful experience. Because of the pressure in that game, he was sent off before the end of the game. However, at that time, Gao Xiaodong did not know how to deal with this situation. Now, after Gao Xiaodong has been promoted to the star class, his understanding of the game has a qualitative leap, and he knows that this is the time to play To put pressure on Barcelona, we can't let them fall so easily in control of the ball, and we can't just rely on the long pass to attack. There must be a little change.
