Chapter 440 A Desperate Goal

"His grandma is a jerk. When did Manchester United get so beaten?"

"There was almost no chance of shooting."

"What should we do in the second half?"

Manchester United fans began to worry during the halftime break. Judging from their performance in the first half, Manchester United was not convincing enough.

The Trident, which is killing everyone in the Premier League, has very few shooting opportunities and has completely disappeared. Except for Dong Fangzhuo's missed goal, Manchester United is like training with Inter Milan to switch offense and defense.

Inter Milan is far more powerful than Manchester United fans imagine.

What depresses them the most is that the opponent's strongest player is not Adriano or Recoba, but the 33-year-old Inter Milan captain Zanetti!

Both are 30+, why is Zanetti better than Giggs? Giggs was simply airless in the first half, and Zanetti broke through to Manchester United's bottom line countless times.

It would be fine if Giggs was as strong as Zanetti, but when the two of them are compared, Giggs is very unlucky.

Could Sir Alex not know? He only has these few players and no one can replace him. He can't let O'Shea come up and Giggs go down! This kind of substitution makes no sense, not to mention, Giggs can't do it, can O'Shea do it? Of course not.

In the locker room, what Ferguson can do is allow Rooney to help Giggs share more defensive tasks, and cannot let Giggs face Zanetti's impact alone.

Although Zanetti is older, who doesn't know that age is just a number to him?

Another way is to let Luo, who has stronger breakthrough ability, often switch to the left to deal with Zanetti, so that Zanetti does not dare to assist casually.

"Fortunately, Figo is not here today. If Figo was here, maybe the game would be more difficult to play..."

"Hey, Mancini made a substitution early."

"Cordoba goes off, Materazzi comes on." "Why?"

"Maybe because Cordoba couldn't keep an eye on Dong Fangzhuo in the first half, and he also got a yellow card. To be on the safe side, he replaced Cordoba. Mancini is indeed a cautious coach. . Materazzi is a player that is not easy to deal with, he is like a madman."

madman?

Dong Fangzhuo couldn't hear what Lineker said;

But when he saw Materazzi, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Materazzi is very strong, but this guy's shortcomings are also very obvious.

A nervous defender, a controversial figure. When he is in good condition, he is a gold-ball-level defender and can take over all the work of a forward; when in poor condition, not being given a red card is the best way to be responsible for the team.

After all, he has seen a lot of the world in his career, and he is also an amazing person when he compiles his jokes.

Don't just stare at Zidane. In fact, this guy has many horrific deeds. He once almost kicked Inzaghi in the stomach with one kick, almost demolished Shevchenko's shrine with one kick, and trampled on Rui. Costa regrets his choice of football...

He is such a controversial defender.

Mancini used Cordoba first, naturally wanting to seek stability first, but found that Cordoba was really useless, and finally gave Materazzi a chance in the second half.

At least in the face of Materazzi's power, perhaps Manchester United's forwards will also be intimidated.

Maybe that's what he thought.

But Dong Fangzhuo knows Materazzi...

The second half of the game resumes.

As expected, Materazzi was standing next to Dong Fangzhuo. As soon as he got close to him, he wanted to give Dong Fangzhuo a blow. He wanted to hit Dong Fangzhuo's calf with his knee, but he didn't expect that just as his knee was raised, Dong Fangzhuo suddenly moved quickly to the left, his left foot He stepped hard on his left foot.

Ouch!

Materazzi immediately collapsed in pain.

However, his reaction was still a little slow after all. When he fell, the referee did not look at the two of them, and after Dong Fangzhuo stepped on it, he ran away faster than a thief.

Materazzi could only suffer a dull loss.

That bastard, wait for me! Materazzi cursed fiercely, got up from the turf and rejoined the battle.

No one dared to challenge him in front of him, even the arrogant Balotelli in the Inter Milan team was beaten by him...

Manchester United tried to increase their offensive intensity. Luo quickly went to the left to get the ball, dribbled the ball past Veron, and then directly passed the ball. Dong Fangzhuo failed to follow up in time in the middle, only because Materazzi had just retreated. Rock Samuel firmly headed the ball out in the middle and fell to Cambiasso's feet.

Cambiasso handed the ball to the Veron organization.

Veron didn't think about it at all and just handed the ball to Zanetti...

Zanetti again.

Although Luo was on his side, he rushed forward with the ball without hesitation. When Ronaldo chased back, Zanetti handed the ball to Stankovic, and then when he cut inside, Stankovic passed the ball back to him.

Then he passed a low ball, and Adriano accidentally handed the ball...

Adriano seemed to be still not focused enough, and Martins at the far end waved his hand, a little unhappy, maybe thinking that Zanetti should pass the ball to him!

Soon, Veron pressed forward and shot a powerful shot from outside the penalty area but was saved by Van der Sar.

Manchester United's attack didn't even come with thunder, let alone rain. And Ferguson started asking Rossi to warm up on the sidelines. Maybe Rossi might be more practical against the Italian team?

Rooney seemed to feel the pressure on the court and was stimulated. He finally showed up...

After exchanging positions with Luo, he quickly moved to the right, while Luo forced Zanetti on the left.

The 33-year-old Zanetti was not inferior to Luo in terms of speed. The two of them fought with bayonets to reach the Inter Milan bottom line. In the end, Luo had to dunk the ball, and then rushed back with the ball again, away from Zanetti's entanglement.

But Zanetti was not an easy man, so he also came after him. Luo couldn't care so much anymore and directly made a pass with his right foot.

Dong Fangzhuo and Materazzi in the middle were competing for a header. Both of them made big movements with their hands. Materazzi not only grabbed Dong Fangzhuo's jersey with both hands, but when he stretched out his head, he was not heading the ball at all, but Hit Dong Fangzhuo hard on the head.

Dong Fangzhuo still failed to escape Materazzi's plot. Not only did he miss the ball, his head was still buzzing.

Of course, Materazzi didn't hit it, and Samuel calmly cleared the ball from behind.

Park Ji-sung rushed forward, jumped while running, and unloaded the ball with his chest one step ahead, but Cambiaso also arrived as promised. Before the ball even hit the ground, Cambiaso stretched out his left leg.

Park Ji-sung couldn't let him steal the ball. Before the ball hit the ground, he used his right foot to pass the ball to Rooney for a half-high ball.

As Rooney rushed forward, facing the ball from the side, he flicked his right toe, and the ball was miraculously lifted over Worm's head!

Veron rushed towards him desperately, but then Rooney volleyed the ball to the goal with his right foot!

At this time, Dong Fangzhuo had already climbed up from the turf, his eyes seemed a little blurry, and Materazzi in front of him still spread his two claws to make a fuss about him.

But Dong Fangzhuo had already kicked the ground with both feet, and his whole body was ejected from between Samuel and Materazzi like a cannonball!

Jump to the top!

Materazzi was not slow to react. When he turned around, he didn't even think about where he was going to shoot.

The moment he turned around, his right foot had already kicked Dong Fangzhuo in the abdomen!

Dong Fangzhuo groaned, but still put his head on the ball.

"ah!"

Seeing this scene, everyone in the stands exclaimed!

The ball flew into the net, but Dong Fangzhuo's body was kicked by Materazzi towards Samuel, so that the latter subconsciously hugged Dong Fangzhuo...

Lineker even forgot to say goal... u
