Chapter 560 The standard has been raised, and there is a shadow in my heart?(1/2)
2:0.
The score on the big screen on the scene was ruthless. Last year's Champions League champion suffered a Waterloo here. At Old Trafford, Manchester United can still hold on to Manchester United, but they seem to be unable to do it today.
The amazing performance of Ronaldinho and Zheng Zhi made Manchester United encounter unprecedented difficulties.
Want to score two goals in a row?
Want to score two goals in a row without Zheng Zhi and Ronaldinho continuing to play?
How to play this?
Now there is no way to defend Leverkusen's attack. Attack?
"Actually, Dennis Irving's performance is pretty good, but Ronaldinho's performance is too amazing. In addition, Zheng Zhi joined the offense, Manchester United was in a tragedy. The game between Fiorentina and Bordeaux is temporarily tied, which is good news for Manchester United."
"At this time someone must stand up, such as Beckham's free kick skills, and Giggs can also play at the left."
"Scholes and Keane are going to stand up."
"I really don't dare to say what Manchester United plays next, after all, they are Manchester United. Ferguson is very anxious on the sidelines now, and his face is full of anger. Will there be a miracle this time?"
The game resumed, and Leverkusen's formation did not come back and continued to compete with Manchester United's midfielder for bayonets.
Scholes and Keane did not dare to play too thinly in the middle. After a three-footed short pass, they tried to hit Leverkusen behind him. This overly simple tactic did not threaten Leverkusen's defense.
Manchester United has never been a team with very delicate cooperation and skills, and they often do not get the advantage of possession in strong dialogues, but they can incredibly create many offensive opportunities. The core of these opportunities is to make a quick counterattack, and positional battles are to play the ball with a big move, with the purpose of hitting weak links with few people and using their speed advantage to bully their opponents.
but……
It doesn't work today.
Leverkusen had two goals in hand and had the lead. The number of midfielders was dominant, so they were not in a hurry. No matter how Manchester United transferred, they could not find a breakthrough.
Originally, Giggs' breakthrough was a killer move, but Zheng Zhi assisted in defense here, which reduced Giggs' power too much. Instead, Beckham kept sending crosses here and making more real. However, Leverkusen's defense line was fully prepared and focused on defending high-altitude balls. Manchester United's double strikers did not get any advantage.
Barack in the middle lane retreated and kept harassing Keane, who was pressing him up. Keane's role must have been weakened a lot, not to mention that Emerson and Zheng Zhi were sweeping behind him.
Although Ronaldinho's defensive ability is very weak, no one dares to ignore his existence. What's more important is that he always roams on the right side like a thorn, and Manchester United's left side cannot hit the usual threat. As for Beinrich's side, it is often used to cooperate with the team's defense. Leverkusen now only needs to go on the right side!
It's so tight.
After Keane rushed back and forth in the middle several times, he still couldn't get rid of Barack. On the contrary, Barack swayed in front of him at any time, and always felt that a mountain was hitting him at any time.
The middle partner Scholes ran all over the field almost without any effort. He not only wanted to avoid Zheng Zhi, but also Emerson, trying to find a way out through constant running.
But Zheng Zhi and Emerson's running ability and coverage are no worse than him. The middle lane is not that easy!
Although Giggs attracted the fire from time to time, Scholes still failed to use it.
More than twenty minutes have passed, and the first half is about to end, so Manchester United still finds it difficult to create a chance to score goals.
It's been in vain.
What worries Ferguson is that Leverkusen has not really played out on the offensive end now. He is just dealing with Manchester United in the midfield and backcourt. How long has the Brazilian not started rushing?
call,
call,
call,
Scholes gasped heavily, his eyes still scanning his teammates.
This was the most tiring first half he played because he had been running around a wide range, seeking opportunities.
As long as the first half is not over, he will not be able to stop.
He finally saw Beckham.
Beckham's running position was a bit weird. He gave the right to Gary Neville, who was running forward at high speed behind him, and he tried to insert it diagonally into the middle.
Scholes did not hesitate and directly stuffed the ball towards Beckham. Grasco did not close in time to the middle because he wanted to deal with Neville. Beinrich ran back, but he could not play any role behind Beckham.
Of course, when Beckham stopped the ball, Emerson arrived in time. Emerson noticed Beckham's oblique insertion. He thought Beckham had no ability, as long as he didn't let him pass the ball easily.
Sure enough, Beckham kicked his feet decisively, pulled out the ball from his right instep, and it seemed that he was going to pass the ball to York and Cole's heads.
but,
The next second after the ball flew, the arc made people look very wrong!
"What?!"
"This ball!"
"Shot?!"
The Full Moon Scimitar did land in a strong arc and fell into Leverkusen's penalty area, but instead of spinning towards York and Cole, the upper left corner of the goal!
He is shooting!
Martysek didn't expect Beckham to suddenly shoot, and his eyes were on the sky above York and Cole's heads.
But when the ball flew quickly, it was already spinning wildly towards the upper left corner of the goal.
At this time, he couldn't even catch up. When his right foot moved quickly, the ball had already been slung straight into the upper left corner of the goal.
"Oh!"
"The ball has entered!"
"Beckham,"
"The full moon scimitar is unsheathed, no one can defeat it!"
"This shot was too unexpected, and it was quite beautiful. Goalkeeper Martysek was powerless. He had no problem with his position, but he didn't expect to be attacked like this by Beckham."
"There is no difference from his usual shot when he is freed from a set piece."
"It's worthy of being the Golden Globe Award!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Beckham's mouth, which seemed to intoxicate all women in the world.
At this time in England, Manchester United fans in front of the TV instantly started to go crazy.
It is still the handsomeest man in the world who saved Manchester United!
...
...
Bayer Arena is quiet, and Leverkusen fans were stunned by Beckham's goal. However, this time it was not a free kick, but a goal in a sports game.
In the first leg, Beckham used a set piece to tie the score for Manchester United. He still stood up today and scored a goal for the team.
This ball is so important. There is only one goal left now. Although Manchester United's situation is still passive, at least Manchester United can still usher in the dawn again, right?
Ferguson on the sidelines held his fists tightly to celebrate, his old face was blushing, and his eyes were as sharp as a torch. Of course, he also saw hope, and seemed to have found a way to deal with Leverkusen.
"well,"
"It was so painful to throw this ball."
"Beckham's right foot, tsk..."
"I accept it."
Even Leverkusen fans were impressed by Beckham.
"Where is Zheng Zhi,"
"The man who received the applause of Old Trafford was not outstanding enough. At least compared to the hat trick in the first round, his performance today can only be said to be average."
The mentality of Leverkusen fans is still very relaxed. Of course, their requirements for Zheng Zhi are too perverted. Zheng Zhi, who instigated a goal and completed an assist, can only perform in an average performance? This requirement is too high.
Fans have long raised their standards for him...
The first half ended with a score of 2:1, and Manchester United recovered a point before the end of the half.
The player Leverkusen was in a relaxed mood. When Ronaldinho came off the court, he discussed Beckham's unexpected shot with Zheng Zhi.
“This ball is awesome,”
"But I will, too."
“I can do it too.”
"I think their goalkeeper's position is not very good, so we can try it in the second half?"
"Try it?"
“Yes~”
On the other side of Manchester United, everyone's faces were still very serious, and their steps were also very fast. No one dared to drag it behind because they didn't know what would happen in the locker room. When they returned to the latest one in the locker room, they would be squirted by Ferguson. So they almost rushed into the locker room together.
Ferguson had already stood in front of the tactical board.
A rare thing, he didn't start squirting?
After glanced at him and saw that everyone had arrived, he immediately explained in front of the tactical board.
"Ryan,"
"You have to firmly drive the ball and cut in the second half,"
To be continued...
