Chapter 371 Shockingly Calm Cooperation

Pooh!

Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney spat at almost the same moment, and then they both looked at Dong Fangzhuo at the same time.

If you look carefully, Manchester United have been used to doing this when they have been penetrated recently...

1:2.

Zeman began to make slight adjustments to the formation on the field.

"Sure enough, Pettit started to stand in front of the two central defenders in order to prevent the ball from coming to the center more and to help the defenders defend Dong."

"But Koeman only made this adjustment. The other positions of his team remain unchanged, and his team still has to attack. This may be the gene that Koeman, who was born in Barcelona, ​​was born with, because they have seen the victory. Hope means victory to the end. For Ferguson's Manchester United, this is both a danger and a greater opportunity. Although the defense will still feel pressure, it also gives Manchester United more offensive opportunities."

The goal conceded made Manchester United's defense a little flustered. After conceding two goals in a row, the defense led by Vidic seemed a little less confident.

Especially in the 35th minute, Manchester United almost finished the game!

Giovanni broke through with the ball alone, and Sylvester brought him down from behind at the edge of the penalty area.

Farke!

Damn it!

Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney both looked at the referee.

If this ball is awarded a penalty kick, Manchester United will have no idea and will be disappointed.

A few seconds later, referee Vasalas penalized the Brazilian for a diving foul.

The Benfica players refused and the referee argued for a long time, but the referee still upheld the penalty.

Sylvester is really unreliable, not as good as Pique. At this time, Dong Fangzhuo actually thought of the young Pique. Unfortunately, he was not Ferguson and had no right to substitute. In his memory, Sylvester was present. The competition has never been reliable!

Manchester United took the ball out of the backcourt, but it was quickly intercepted by a Benfica player and another fast through ball was played. Smith had to foul Nuno Gomez in the backcourt and bring him down directly to avoid another accident when the ball reached the penalty area. Pettit finally stepped up, and then his 25-yard shot in the middle was blocked by the wall.

Corner kick taken,

Vidic hit the ball fiercely in the crowd and hit the ball far away and flew out of the sideline, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction with the defense...

It seems that his old partner Ferdinand is more reliable. Unfortunately, Ferdinand is injured and now he is fighting alone. However, even if Ferdinand is here, his recent sluggish state may not be much better than Sylvester.

There was some instability in the middle, and Rooney had to go to the middle, seemingly to strengthen his control of the midfield.

His wise approach gave Manchester United a chance to counterattack.

In the 43rd minute, he received a pass from Smith and passed the ball to Ronaldo on the right. He did not intend to tangle with Benfica in the dense center, but Giovanni immediately pulled down Ronaldo in the midfield. No chance to start. Of course Giovanni was also given a yellow card. ,

Manchester United missed their last chance to attack in the first half.

In the locker room, although Ferguson did not get angry, he was definitely dissatisfied with the players' performance on the field, especially in the backcourt, where the defense was unbearable.

Park Ji-sung was replaced in the second half. His condition today was so bad that Scholes got half-time playing time.

But Scholes' arrival did not immediately change Manchester United's situation. The deadlock continued on the field and Manchester United failed to organize a threatening offensive.

In the 55th minute, seeing that his teammates in front were so incompetent, Vidic suddenly passed a long pass to Dong Fangzhuo from the backcourt. Dong Fangzhuo jumped and successfully countered offside in an instant. Louison's long legs failed to keep up with Dong Fangzhuo, but Dong Fangzhuo forgot that there was another The moment Pettit and Dong Fangzhuo unloaded the ball, Pettit's cunning body pushed forward. Dong Fangzhuo's body instantly lost his balance, failed to protect the ball, and fell to the ground.

Dong Fangzhuo immediately turned over and raised his hand to indicate a foul on the Frenchman, but the referee did not call it!

The cunning Pettit did not wait for the ball and still took the ball away immediately.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicier...

Why is it said that if a family has an elder, it is like having a treasure? This is all experience!

Although Dong Fangzhuo was very depressed, he quickly got up and chased after Petit.

He lost the ball and he had this mission to chase it, even though it seemed silly. Pettit also thought so, and he quickly handed the ball forward...

However, Benfica has Petit, and Manchester United also has veterans like Scholes and Neville.

The ball handed over by Pettit came to the center, but Neville took the credit from Smith. He quickly got the ball before Beto.

Beto didn't even expect that instead of Smith appearing next to him, it was Manchester United's right back Neville. How did this guy appear?

While he was thinking about it, Neville had already handed the ball to Scholes and continued to advance forward.

With this sudden attack, Benfica no longer has the defensive numerical advantage...

In the 58th minute, Giggs and Scholes passed the ball continuously. Scholes led it to the frontcourt, but he did not immediately take a long shot because although Pettit made a pass error, he blocked it immediately. In front of Scholes, Scholes passed the ball to Ronaldo on the right side of the penalty area. The Portuguese's right-footed low shot from 18 yards missed the far corner.

The ball didn't go in, but at least Manchester United showed great momentum in this attack. Then Ferguson continued to change players, Smith, who performed well, was replaced, and Giggs came up to continue to strengthen the attack!

"The veterans coming up may be of great help to the game. Young players are not good at playing against the wind. Now with Scholes and Giggs behind us, the front three should have a chance."

"Ferguson still has a lot of ideas. He looks to young players in good times and veterans in bad times?"

As soon as Giggs came up, he was immediately violated by Anderson in front of the penalty area. Pettit was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and went up to argue, but was given a yellow card.

Ronaldo stood in front of the ball and thought for a long time, and finally took a free kick from 25 yards on the right and missed the near corner. It seems that his recent free kicks are not that good again.

Manchester United had no choice but to strengthen their attack. Ferguson began to walk up and down the sidelines, looking anxious.

The course of the game was a bit unexpected.

Koeman's team is still very strong, both defensively and offensively.

In the 70th minute, taking advantage of Heinze's assist, Manchester United was beaten behind. Nelson counterattacked and passed the ball to the center. Nuno Gomez's low shot from the right side of the penalty area was stubbornly blocked by Vidicva.

Nuno Gomez found that after being replaced by Vidic next to him, he could no longer touch the ball.

Although Manchester United was threatened by an attack, Manchester United needed to attack even more, so despite being beaten from behind just now, the Argentine bravely charged forward again.

After receiving the ball from Giggs, Heinze chose to pass back. Giggs quickly passed the ball with his left foot. Dong Fangzhuo attracted firepower in the middle. Rooney inserted into the left rib of the penalty area. Petit was unable to rush to make up for it. Defend.

Rooney volleyed with his left foot from 8 yards!

Anderson flew to block! Not only did he stop the ball, he got up and got the ball.

Looking up, he saw Giovanni in front and without hesitation he hit a through ball.

"Danger!"

After Giovanni got the ball, he dunked his right heel and easily dodged the reckless Sylvester.

Then Giovanni immediately passed the ball to Nuno Gomez!

Vidic can't watch two of them alone! But he decisively chose to keep up with Nuno Gomez. But Nuno Gomez quickly rushed the ball into the penalty area!

Swish——

Van der Sar fell like a ghost at the feet of Nuno Gomez. He controlled the ball instantly and threw it to Heinze who rushed back on the ground.

Although Heinze was surprised, he quickly handed the ball to Giggs.

Giggs made a wide move and passed the ball to Ronaldo, because Ronaldo was empty and unguarded, and there was a defender on Rooney's side.

It's Manchester United's turn to counterattack quickly!

A 3-on-4 situation quickly formed in the frontcourt. Rooney had one, Dong Fangzhuo attracted two in the middle, and Petit was rushing towards Ronaldo.

Facing Petit, Cristiano Ronaldo was full of confidence and clicked his right heel just like Giovanni just now. Petit was involuntarily thrown away like a kite with broken strings.

Ronaldo quickly cuts inside the center.

Rooney competed with the opponent's right back on the left wing and quickly surpassed his opponent!

Two seconds later, Ronaldo decisively dribbled the ball into the penalty area, but Benfica's other central defender Leo decisively left Dong Fangzhuo and came to block Ronaldo.

At the critical moment, Cristiano Ronaldo chose to spike the ball again and immediately took aim at Leo, but the shooting angle was no longer available.

He could only sweep the ball towards the center, and he quickly took a step back. While avoiding Leo again, he also found space again.

The ball he swept towards the center rushed towards Dong Fangzhuo's feet, but Louison behind him exhausted all his strength. This time Dong Fangzhuo failed to control his body and was about to fall, but he still managed to fall before he fell. Used his left foot to poke the ball back to Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't dare to adjust anymore and pushed directly into the far corner with his left foot!

Wow——

"goooooal!"

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"

"The score is even!"

"Incredibly calm cooperation! The two of them are in the opponent's penalty area, it's like they are playing a single-player game!"
