Chapter 717

"Beep

There was a clear whistle on the TV, and the referee blew the foul whistle.

The whole Calderon stadium was completely blown up. Even though it was separated from the TV, Gao Han and others could still clearly feel the tragic atmosphere at this moment.

The live TV camera quickly aimed at the referee, o'freiber.

It's an attack from Atletico Madrid.

Goalkeeper Cech opened the goal and fell to the front court. Torres grabbed the first landing point and rubbed the ball to the back of Manchester United's defence. Villa was very fast. He cooperated with Torres and quickly slanted behind to catch the ball.

At this time, Manchester United's centre back Pepe chased back all the way and defended close to him. When villa got the ball first and was about to enter the forbidden area, Pepe made a decisive foul and directly shoved the ball to the ground.

The Portuguese international's centre back is also very experienced. As soon as the whistle rings, he immediately jumps up from the ground and loudly explains that he shovels the ball first, and points to villa, who is lying on the ground and holding his leg, is pretending to be injured.

"Manchester United's players are very excited and seem to be worried about the law enforcement of o'faber," he said

"It's true that as early as in the first half, o'freiber had twice reminded Pepe that this time he was chasing villa from behind. We can't judge whether he shoved villa or not, but the dangerous action is beyond doubt, and it should be a tactical foul."

"Sure enough, o'freiber showed his red card decisively and sent Pepe off."

"This is the 61st minute of the second half. Manchester United are still one-to-one behind, but Pepe, the main defender, was sent off because of a tactical foul. That is to say, even if Manchester United reach the final, Pepe will be suspended because of the red card."

Watching the live TV and listening to the voice of the commentator, everyone in the office was very sorry.

How to put it?

It's hard to say whether Pepe's foul is worth it or not, because if he didn't kick at that time, with Villa's personal ability, after entering the penalty area, he would have been a single shot and the possibility of scoring was very high.

If one goal is left behind and there is hope for Manchester United, then another goal will be lost and the red devils will be ruined.

But Pepe this foot, will hope to retain, but the price is also very big, a red card.

With half an hour to go, Manchester United are in danger.

In the TV camera, Pepe was protesting all the time, but when o'freiber showed him his red card, he collapsed. He held his head in his arms, raised his head high, opened his mouth wide, as if he was sobbing silently.

Around the teammates have come forward, one by one hugged Pepe, appease him.

Last season, Manchester United entered the Champions League final, only to lose to Barcelona and complete the latter's treble. But this season, the team is on a higher level of strength and ambitious to make a comeback

"If Manchester United can make it to the final, Pepe's kick will be valuable Gao Han sighed.

Sometimes, professional players are just like that on the court. They don't care.

Ferguson must also know the value of Pepe's foul, so when the Portuguese came off the pitch like a walking corpse, he went forward recklessly, hugged his favorite and kept comforting him.

Manchester United also quickly made adjustments, young Evans on the field, replaced the striker Berbatov, Rooney and Tevez formed a double forward, Ferguson's idea is obviously to continue to strengthen the defense.

Pepe is recommended to Ferguson by Gao Han. His agent is Mendes. During this period of time at Manchester United, both he and Mattic have made great progress under the guidance of Ferguson. They have played an important role in Manchester United's midfield and back field. In particular, the combination of Pepe and Ferdinand has shown a high level.

The only criticism is that Pepe's performance is not stable enough. Like Ferdinand, he is easy to be rash.

But his absence has a great influence on United's defence.

Heinks must also understand this, so continue to increase the intensity of the attack, put the cart and horse is to take advantage of United's loss of the tiger, seize the opportunity to expand the score.

Manchester United is the whole team back, put on a defensive posture.

"One goal down, one man down, Manchester United are finished." Rummenigge shook his head and sighed.

The Red Devils have been able to hold on until now, and it is undoubtedly quite good to fight like this.

Even if it really stops in the semi-finals, I'm afraid it will be recognized by fans all over the world.

But on the court, Atletico Madrid occupied the advantage of the home court, with the advantage of the number of people, the overall strength is dominant, repeatedly planning a very threatening attack, but always failed to break the goal of Manchester United.

It was not easy to get into the penalty area several times, but Van der Sar blocked the goal again and again.

A red card seems to have inspired the Red Devils' determination to fight to the end.

As the game went by, Atletico Madrid organized attacks again and again, but they were blocked out of the goal again and again. Manchester United, with only ten players, kept their half-time on the pitch, making Atletico Madrid's attacks futile again and again.

This is not the first time.

In this season's Champions League, especially since the knockout, the Red Devils Manchester United repeatedly staged such a drama.

Ferguson is still standing on the sidelines like a mountain. He looks neither flattered nor insulted, as if he is completely unaffected by the game.

Seventy minutes... Eighty minutes

He was still standing there, motionless.

Everyone is aware that what Gao Han said is not right, that is, with Ferguson's character, it is absolutely impossible to give up like this. He is the kind of man who will fight with Barcelona even in the Champions League final, knowing that his strength is not equal.

Is he willing to give up?

What's more, he still has three replacement places in his hand, with Giggs and other veterans sitting on the bench.

"He's waiting!" Gao Han said very firmly.

"Wait? What are you waiting for? " Everyone thought it was strange.

It's 80 minutes past and if Ferguson had the heart, it would have been a long time ago.

Gao Han frowned and thought, "if I guess correctly, Ferguson has determined the tactics of the game from the very beginning, starting to attack and ending to fight back."

All the people present are those who have been working in professional football for many years. When they hear the meaning of alpine cold, they immediately understand it.

It's needless to say that Manchester United have adopted it and achieved certain results, but it was scored by Atletico Madrid's counterattack, which directly led to the passivity of the whole game.

As for the final counterattack, this is a bit interesting.

For Manchester United, if they want to win, they have to score at least one goal. It's very unlikely that the two sides will score a penalty shoot out, and Ferguson, as a famous manager, will not gamble on such a small probability event.

To some extent, for Manchester United, zero to zero and zero to one is actually a result.

This is also the reason why the Red Devils dare to open their hands and feet to attack, but after losing a ball, they immediately become conservative.

Even now, as long as Manchester United score a goal, even if the two sides play one-to-one in the end, Manchester United also win, even in extra time.

Therefore, Gao concluded that Ferguson would make a big bet at the end of the game.

And it's not only Alpine that thinks about it, but heinks certainly does.

When the game reached the 85th minute, Ferguson finally moved.

Soon, everyone noticed that Manchester United made a replacement adjustment, replacing midfield player Mattic with veteran Giggs.

The midfield is both offensive and defensive, diligent and plays an important role in Manchester United's midfield.

After Giggs came on the court, Atletico Madrid continued to attack Manchester United without any relaxation, and took advantage of Manchester United's replacement to make two threatening attacks in a row.

But up to now, both sides are basically tired, two attacks have not worked.

In the 89th minute, the fourth official on the sideline finally gave a notice of five minutes to make up the time, but the two sides were still fighting hard, and everyone was worried.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Atletico Madrid once again reached the front of Manchester United's penalty area. However, in this attack, Torres fouled Ferdinand, and a number of players led by Rooney put pressure on the referee, but they were warned by a yellow card.

This time, the game stopped for more than a minute.

When the game resumed, Manchester United took advantage of the quick serve to make a snatch. Left back Leighton Bynes slanted into the front of the penalty area and made a long-range shot, but slightly missed.

But very soon, Atletico Madrid also got a chance. Navas forced a breakthrough on the right side to get a corner kick for the team. The bedspread regiment pressed on, but Pablo's header failed to hit the right part and was slightly higher.

Pablo also protested to the referee. Ferdinand made a foul when he was fighting for the header, but the referee rejected his protest. The Spanish centre back was worried and yelled at the referee, who was given a yellow card.

The emotions of the players of both teams were obviously ignited, and the game has reached the last and most critical moment.

Manchester United quickly launched a counterattack, all the players are on the pressure.

Giggs took the ball from the left, got rid of the defender, and then sent the ball into the restricted area of Atletico Madrid with a long cross. Pablo jumped high and headed the ball to clear in a hurry.

But the ball did not fly far, Tevez grabbed the ball, and then to the winger Giggs.

After Giggs got the ball, without thinking, he skewed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Rooney put in and cut the ball first.

Can just stop the ball, Carvalho quickly close, forcing Rooney was forced to turn to protect the ball.

At the same time, the referee has the whistle in his mouth, the game may be over at any time.

Rooney blocked Carvalho with his body, took two steps back from the bottom line and suddenly returned to the front of the penalty area.

At this time, Scholes, who had been silent, suddenly stepped into the front of the penalty area like a ghost.

All of Atletico Madrid were shocked, and Xavi Alonso, who was distracted by Tevez, flew to Scholes for the first time.

But ginger head was ahead of Xabi Alonso and made a very fast ground roll.

Cech's attention was attracted by United's two strikers, and his vision was also disturbed. When he reacted, the ball almost rubbed the right post and got into the bottom of the net.

Everyone was shocked at this moment!

Not only the fans of Calderon Stadium on the TV, but also the cold people outside the TV are all gaping.

It's a goal!

It's the last moment, the most critical moment of the goal!

The referee's clear whistle announced to the world that the goal was valid.

One to one, Manchester United make it to the final!
