Chapter 1195

Seeing Gao Xiaodong break the ball, Rooney immediately started to run to the penalty area.

Rooney believes that as long as he can run in place, Gao Xiaodong will pass the ball.

Gao Xiaodong turned around after breaking the ball and found Rooney started, but the others didn't move.

Rooney's position is not good, he has not yet left Benfica's two centre backs.

Gao Xiaodong chose to believe Rooney. He pushed the ball through the gap between the two centre backs.

Rooney was always looking behind him when he was running. Seeing Gao Xiaodong's pass, Rooney immediately sped up and tried to throw away Benfica's two centre backs.

Louis song started a little slower than Rooney, but he was very experienced. Seeing that Rooney wanted to speed up, he reached out and pulled him.

Louis song a pull loose, the referee is difficult to find, even if found, also often ignore.

But this has had a great impact on Rooney. Rooney is speeding up with all his strength. Being dragged by Louis song, the speed is a little slower.

Originally, Rooney was able to get Gao Xiaodong's pass, but because the acceleration was a little slow, Rooney took the ball to the bottom line.

When Rooney held the ball, Louis song and Pereira both arrived. They completely blocked Rooney's shot and cross the line of the penalty area.

Rooney's situation is very dangerous, do not pass the ball in time, it is easy to be caught.

All of a sudden, Rooney saw a red figure on the left side of the court. It was Giggs.

Rooney was overjoyed. He crossed the ball to the veteran Giggs.

There is an old man in the family. If there is a treasure, the old man may not have enough physical strength to run all over the field, but they know how to run and where to run is the most dangerous.

Giggs took advantage of the opponent's neglect and ran to the most dangerous position again.

Benfica's centre back has gone to wrap up Rooney. The full back has not yet come to collect. There is a big gap between Giggs and the goal.

If it is young Giggs, definitely into the penalty area, but now, Giggs has no explosive power, can only shoot directly.

Giggs raised his left foot and pumped the ball hard into the lower right corner of the goal.

Diao's shot must be fast enough to be able to jump in the middle of the goal.

Giggs's shot angle enough Diao, but the speed is not fast enough, Artur just stabbed the ball out of the bottom line with his fingertips.

United got a corner.

Giggs personally took the corner, while Gao Xiaodong was at the front of the penalty area ready to fight for the header.

Manchester United's two centre backs, Evans and Smalling, were inexperienced in defence and lost the ball. Now they hope to make up for their mistakes by attacking. They are very active in the penalty area, competing for positions with their opponents by hand and foot.

Smalling's efforts paid off, Giggs's pass was snatched by him, but he was eager to work, the ball was pushed out of the crossbar by him.

Manchester United have been able to score goals in succession, but they have never been able to score. As 30 minutes have passed, the players of Manchester United are very anxious, and the fans of Manchester United are even more anxious. They keep chanting: score one! One in! Cheer for Manchester United.

Ferguson saw the problem of Manchester United, the attack is too impatient, who saw the opportunity to kick, the result wasted a lot of shooting opportunities, if one or two more passes, let Gao Xiaodong Rooney to shoot, the goal will be more hopeful.

Ferguson took advantage of the dead ball to tell Giggs what he meant and let the players play more patiently.

Fergie has absolute authority at Manchester United and no one dares to listen to his orders.

Then Manchester United's attack became more patient than before, trying to give Wayne Rooney and Gao Xiaodong chances to shoot.

In the 38th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong carried the ball all the way from the back court to Benfica's 30 meter area. When Benfica's players concentrated on the encirclement, Gao Xiaodong promptly distributed the ball to Valencia on the side, who then passed it to Phil Jones on the edge, tearing up Benfica's defense.

Phil Jones has no one to defend. After he cut into the penalty area, he faced most of the empty goals, but when Phil Jones saw Gao Xiaodong's advance, he chose to cross.

This tactic is too mechanical. Benfica is very strict with Gao Xiaodong. Phil Jones's pass is shoved out of the bottom line by Garcia.

Seeing that Phil Jones also passed the ball, Ferguson was so angry that he called Phil Jones a fool and didn't know how to adapt.

Benfica was on the alert when United got the chance to shoot in a row. He reduced his investment in attack and strengthened his defense, hoping to keep the 1-0 lead in the first half.

Benfica's overall recovery is very backward, the players are active in running, and the forward also withdraws to harass Gao Xiaodong, so that Gao Xiaodong is not allowed to give the ball calmly.

Under Benfica's tight defense, Manchester United's attack was blocked, and the previous continuous attack turned into sporadic attack.

Manchester United can not form a continuous pressure on Benfica's defense, it is difficult to force Benfica to make mistakes and get the chance to shoot.

With the end of the first half approaching, the Manchester United players were very anxious and launched the most fierce attack on Benfica.Valencia right straight long pass to the penalty area, the ball was easily top Benfica defender.

The ball fell to Carrick's feet, Cardoso quickly forced, Carrick passed the ball to Evans, Evans then divided to Evra, Evra crossed to Gao Xiaodong in the middle, Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball and turned around, Aimar kicked Gao Xiaodong behind.

Aimar this is a deliberate foul, but the referee did not pay attention, as if did not see.

The ball was snatched by Fletcher, who then passed it to veteran Giggs.

Giggs raised his hand to direct his teammates to jump into the penalty area and walk to the bottom line with the ball.

Gao Xiaodong, Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick all made quick cuts to the penalty area.

Giggs is not fast with the ball. When he is near the line of the big penalty area, Giggs suddenly gives up the bottom and smashes the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Benfica full back Emerson, who followed Giggs back, was caught off guard and staggered by Giggs.

See Giggs crosscut, Gao Xiaodong, Rooney two people very alert quickly to the two ribs run, the middle of the defensive players away, to Giggs to leave space for shooting or breakthrough.

No one dares to let Rooney and Gao Xiaodong go. Almost all the defenders are taken away by them.

Giggs used rhythm to swing past wittsell, cut across to the top of the forbidden area arc, left foot shot hard, the ball went straight to the top right corner of the goal.

This shot was fast and accurate, almost like a precise guidance to the angle between the crossbeam and the post. Benfica goalkeeper Atul couldn't resist such a shot. He jumped up, tried his best and couldn't touch the ball. He could only watch the ball fly into the net.

1: 1

Giggs, 38, equalised for Manchester United.

It's the 160th official goal the veteran has scored for Manchester United, which also sets a new record for the oldest scoring player in the Champions League.
