Li Ang frowned.
After the start of the second half, Manchester United stepped up their offense and increased their pressing. Li Ang had expected all of this.
What made him a little uneasy was Cristiano Ronaldo's performance.
After the start of the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo did not return to defend. He just cruised in the front field, waiting for an opportunity. If his teammates made a mistake in passing, he would counter-snatch it on the spot. It did not matter if he could not snatch it. He would continue to stay in the front field and wait for the next opportunity.
At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo's position in the second half was more free. More than ten minutes into the second half, the Portuguese completed two shots. One was when he dribbled the ball from the right flank and bypassed two players in a row before cutting inside to shoot. Under Carlos's interference, the shot went high. The next time, Cristiano Ronaldo appeared on the left flank. After instigating an attack, he went down to receive a pass from his teammates and completed a header attack that went slightly over the crossbar.
This was not a good sign for Inter Milan.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the kind of player who could explode in an instant and change the situation of the game on his own.
Li Ang immediately conveyed a message to his players to strengthen their marking of Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, despite Li Ang's targeted deployment, Inter Milan's defensive line still had problems.
*****
After Scholes and Carrick did a knock-the-wall coordination in the front field, the football was passed to Tevez.
Tevez continued to pass straight, and this pass tore apart Inter Milan's defensive line.
Samuels came up to intercept. He chose to fall to the ground to tackle the ball. He did not tackle the football and let the football slip past his feet!
Cristiano Ronaldo's beautiful movement made him appear from behind Chivu.
"Not offside!"
"Beautiful pass!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo! Beautiful pass! "
"Manchester United's chance! Successful reverse offside! "
Inter Milan's goalkeeper, César, decisively chose to abandon the goal and attack.
The fans and spectators held their breaths. This was a showdown between a goalkeeper and a striker!
The football was rolling and Cristiano, Ronaldo and César were all desperately accelerating with the goal of the ball!
César made a judgment in his head. He did not have the confidence to grab the football before Cristiano Ronaldo, so he chose to tackle the ball on the ground.
Amidst the exclamations from the stands, Cristiano Ronaldo jumped up.
Then people saw the football jump up and fly towards the goal!
High Shot!
*****
Before César could shovel the football, Cristiano Ronaldo caught up with the football and took the lead to kick it with the tip of his foot.
The Portuguese player and the Inter Milan goalkeeper fell to the ground together.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the goal.
The football flew towards the goal and was falling.
The Inter Milan Team captain, Javier Zanetti, was desperately chasing back. Seeing the football fall at the goal line, he continued to bounce towards the goal. Zanetti made a last ditch effort to tackle the ball. He tried his best to lift his feet, hoping to stop him before the football entered the net!
He had failed!
The football went into the net first.
Then, Cesar, who fell to the ground to tackle the ball, also slid on the turf and into the net.
“Goooooaaaaal!”
“Goooooaaaaal!”
"Cristiano Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Ronaldo! He scored a goal! One to two! Ronaldo has scored a goal for Manchester United! "
"Ronaldo has made a contribution! This is a very crucial goal! Manchester United has seen hope! "
"Long live Manchester United! Manchester United! "
"Long live Manchester United! Ronaldo! "
Cristiano Ronaldo excitedly rushed to the sidelines and vigorously waved his arms to celebrate the goal, which drew huge cheers from the Manchester United fans.
In the Manchester United technical area, Ferguson also got up from his seat and excitedly applauded to celebrate the goal of his favorite disciple!
One to two!
Manchester United was only one goal behind!
*****
"F * ck!" Li Ang cursed angrily.
Although he had been vigilant, he was still unable to stop Cristiano Ronaldo's goal!
In this goal concede, Samuels's choice of falling to the ground to tackle the ball was fatal. Of course, it was not to say that the defenders could not tackle downwards, but it was best not to tackle downwards unless it was absolutely necessary. Downwards tackling was a one-time deal. Once it failed to successfully form an interception, the goal would be in danger!
This time it was official!
Of course, in addition to this, Cristiano Ronaldo's clever positioning, keen sense, strong heart, and beautiful shooting skills were also undoubtedly revealed in this goal.
"This is Cristiano Ronaldo! The best player on the planet right now! "The English commentator was full of praise for Cristiano Ronaldo.
"This goal concede is a sign of danger! Inter Milan has to be careful. Now that Manchester United is only one goal behind, they will be even more frenzied! "The Italian commentator also worriedly reminded.
The Manchester United players were celebrating the goal.
Li Ang took advantage of this opportunity to call Modric to the sidelines to instruct him.
"Suppress Manchester United!"
"Let them feel that the goal is not safe!"
"We must not let Manchester United's morale rise!"
Li Ang's decision was very decisive. He immediately gave a head-on blow. They must not let Manchester United's morale rise. Ferguson's Manchester United was England's most resilient team. Once this team's morale rose and they went crazy, Inter Milan would be very uncomfortable with Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just found the feeling of scoring!
*****
Five minutes had passed since the game kicked off in the center circle.
Manchester United wanted to take advantage of the momentum of the goal to continue to expand the results of the game and equalize the score as soon as possible. However, they soon noticed Inter Milan's tough response. Both sides fell into a cruel strangulation in the midfield.
At this moment, the gloomy night sky began to rain!
And the rain was not light.
"It's raining! This may be good news for Manchester United! " Said a commentator. As everyone knew, England was a rainy zone. Playing in a rainy day was a common occurrence for Manchester United.
At this moment, Carlos completed a steal on the field.
It was Rooney dribbling the ball. Perhaps because the turf was slippery in the rain, Rooney's dribbling strength was slightly weaker. The football did not roll as far as he expected. Carlos took the opportunity to come up, squeeze Rooney away, and directly completed a beautiful steal!
"Beautiful!"
"Carlos intercepted the ball!"
After intercepting the ball, Carlos immediately passed the football to Modric, who came over to receive.
Modric, whose back was facing the direction of the attack, did not dribble the ball to turn around. Instead, he chose to pass the football out horizontally. Silva got the ball!
And Modric, who had completed the pass, ran forward without looking back!
Modric's cutting into position caused Manchester United's defensive line, who suddenly lost possession of the ball, to panic for a moment. They did not know whether to focus on marking Silva, who had the ball, or to quickly deploy the defensive line to intercept Modric, who might receive the pass.
Modric's breakthrough in the first half of the game left a deep impression on Manchester United's defensive line.
However, don't forget that Silva himself was also a top star player who could pass, shoot, and break through the defense!
*****
In an instant, Manchester United's defensive players divided the work.
Someone pounced on Silva, who had the ball!
Someone closely followed Modric, who was running forward!
Silva chose to pass the ball!
However, what the Manchester United players did not expect was that Silva did not choose to pass the ball to Modric!
He passed the ball diagonally!
In the second half of the game, Milito, who had retreated slightly, ran horizontally to receive the pass!
Then, Diego Milito directly pulled the ball and turned around. Just when everyone thought the Argentine would dribble the ball forward, he passed the football out!
"Adriano!"
Adriano, who had been entangled with Ferdinand, retreated slightly a second before Milito passed the ball. Then, after Milito passed the ball out, Adriano immediately squeezed Ferdinand away, took two long strides, and received the pass from his strike partner, Milito!
*****
"Offside!" The English commentator shouted.
"Offside!" The Manchester United fans shouted!
"Offside!" Some Manchester United players desperately chased back while raising their hands and looking at the assistant referee.
"It's not offside!" The Inter Milan fans shouted!
"Milito's wonderful pass, anti-offside! Adriano!!! "The Italian commentator suddenly roared, almost jumping in excitement.
The referee ran after him!
The assistant referee also ran after him!
There was no flag raised!
There was also no whistle!
Then, people saw that Adriano, who had caught up with the football, did not adjust at all. He dared to swing his long leg in front of Vidic, who was desperately running back to defend!
A powerful kick!
*****
Edwin van der Sar jumped to save!
He looked at the football in the air in despair. His intuition told him that he could not save the ball!
It was official!
The football swept over Edwin van der Sar's left hand!
Then, without slowing down, it fiercely hit the net behind him!
It created a snow-white wave!
Boom!
The Luzhniki Stadium bloomed with this wave:
Bao-Zha!
