Chapter 375 Thrilling into the Top 4
Chapter 375 Adventurous Advance to the Final Four
In the last game, Gao Xiaodong beat Park Ji-sung and was replaced midway, so he didn't even have a chance to play in this game.
In this game, Gao Xiaodong had to switch from the side to the middle to prevent Ronaldo from losing his temper.
In the two games, Gao Xiaodong played two completely different roles, but each role was completed perfectly.
After Ronaldo changed positions, the on-site commentator sighed: From every position, Gao Xiaodong is not the best level, but he performed well in every position. This is really an anomaly in world football. I have watched football for so many years, and I have only seen one such player, and that is the football emperor Beckenbauer.
CCTV commentator He Hui was not stingy about praising Gao Xiaodong, After watching Xiaodong's games during this period of time, I found that Xiaodong has the best defensive awareness among forwards and the best shooting awareness among midfielders. Guo Xiaodong played as a defender, but judging from his performance as a defensive midfielder, there is no pressure to play as a central defender.
The Nani replaced by Ferguson is a Portuguese player, known as Ronaldo II, but he is an early Ronaldo. Same, same shit when playing badly, also known as Nanerv.
It’s not a problem for Ferguson to replace Nani, because Porto is almost laying down the iron barrel and defending. Nani’s playing like shit doesn’t matter much. As long as Nani can perform like a god for a few minutes, it can help Manchester United. break the ice.
After Nani came on the field, he did not get the same favor as Ronaldo. Rodriguez watched Nani get the ball and came to defend Nani by himself. Nani changed direction twice quickly at his feet, suddenly accelerated, and then rushed Stopped, knocked down Rodriguez, and then dribbled the ball straight to Sissoko.
The Manchester United fans in the stands couldn't help applauding, and even the on-site commentator was surprised: This extraordinary person is really beautiful.
Hisokho retreated sideways, not giving Nani the space to get down.
Nani cuts the ball inside and cuts towards the penalty area. When Hisaokoho followed up the defense, Nani suddenly knocked the ball back with his heel and passed it to the right back O'Shea who quickly inserted.
There is no defense on the side, and O'Shea passed the ball to the penalty area to find Ronaldo.
CCTV commentator He Hui said in surprise: Ah! Beautiful breakthrough, beautiful heels! Can you tell me that this has entered a supernatural state?
Although Ronaldo escaped from Gao Xiaodong's clutches, it was not easy for him to be a center forward. His national teammate Alves stared at him,
Another defender, Rolando, is also helping to defend.
The height of the two central defenders is around 1.90 meters. Alves is strong yet flexible and has rich experience. Rolando is young and energetic. It is also not easy for Ronaldo to grab the opportunity to land.
After the ball flew, Ronaldo did not get rid of Alves' entanglement, so he could only forcefully jump to head the ball, but he was leaned on by Alves, and the height of the jump was not enough, and the ball flew from the top of Ronaldo's head to the back point.
Manchester United's midfield forward is really fast. When O'Shea passed the ball in, Giggs, Anderson and Carrick in the midfield all rushed into the penalty area, but the Porto players followed closely and did not let Manchester United players touch the ball.
The ball flew out of the penalty area, and Rooney's header from the back point was given to Evra who was plugging in.
Evra has been used as an avant-garde at the moment. He saw a lot of teammates in the penalty area and immediately hoisted the ball into the penalty area again.
Among the chaotic army, Ronaldo showed his talent as a shooter. He reacted before Alves, jumped first, and headed towards the goal with a header.
Although Alves was a step slower, he didn't look at Ronaldo's header. He also jumped up and slammed into Ronaldo.
Ronaldo wanted to shake his head like a lion in the air and head the ball to the upper right corner, but when Alves hit, he didn't finish his swing, and the ball went directly to the middle of the goal.
Ronaldo is grabbing points in the small penalty area. If Evra hadn't just dropped into the penalty area, the Porto goalkeeper would not be able to react no matter how straight the angle is, but Evra lobbed the ball. Dun stretched out his hand and hit it, then threw himself into his arms.
This time the attack was very thrilling, the Porto fans broke out in a cold sweat, and the Porto players also high-fived each other to encourage their teammates.
The opponent's offensive was too fierce, Porto goalkeeper Helton handed the ball to the defender Sapruna, wanting to delay the time, but Manchester United firmly refused to give Porto this opportunity, Rooney pressed quickly, Ronaldo also came to pinch, and insisted on snatching the ball down.
However, Ronaldo came to the wing, and there was no one in the middle. Rooney was impatient, brought it into the penalty area, and shot directly from a small angle.
Goalkeeper Helton was very error-free, blocking the near corner and blocking the ball out of the baseline.
In the 78th minute, Manchester United got a corner kick. Ferguson continued to dispatch troops at this time, replacing the mediocre Anderson with veteran Scholes, hoping that the veteran could use his experience to help Manchester United save the crisis.
Gao Xiaodong also felt tired at this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of Manchester United's substitution, he also secretly bought a small tonic pill, took it, and prepared for the final decisive battle.
When Giggs took a corner kick, Ronaldo went outside the penalty area and wanted to rush up to fight for the top, but Alves followed him out of the penalty area.
Giggs took a corner kick, Ronaldo took a step forward, then suddenly withdrew and ran back.
Although Alves followed Ronaldo closely, his starting speed and flexibility were still not as good as Ronaldo, and he was left behind by Ronaldo.
Without the fetters of Alves, Ronaldo accelerated rapidly, jumped high, and rushed towards the small penalty area like a hungry tiger.
Ronaldo felt that he had it now, and he was very confident in his grabbing point, but when he was flying, Ronaldo suddenly found that there was a short and sturdy figure jumping up from the line in front of him, blocking his flight On the route, this person is the enemy Gao Xiaodong.
But what makes Ronaldo feel weird is that Gao Xiaodong didn't jump up to fight for it, but jumped out of the goal, as if he was going to head back.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong's weird movements, others didn't know, the monkey in the stands immediately said: Fatty is trying to screw up Luo!
He couldn't bear Ronaldo to think too much, it was useless to think, he had already jumped up, to see if he could knock Gao Xiaodong away.
However, Ronaldo thinks too much. He is 1.85 to 80 kilograms tall, and Gao Xiaodong is 1.73 meters and 80 kilograms. He is fast and bounces well. Gao Xiaodong's speed and bounce are no worse than him.
Boom!
Ronaldo's chest and abdomen collided with Gao Xiaodong's shoulders, because when he jumped up, Gao Xiaodong twisted his waist sinisterly and turned sideways to face the goal.
Ah! Ronaldo fell from the air in pain.
The ball flew through the air and was pushed out of the sideline by Sapuna's header from the back point.
But at this time, Manchester United no longer cared about taking the throw-in, because Ronaldo fell to the ground and hadn't gotten up yet.
The referee hadn't said anything yet, but at this moment Gao Xiaodong quickly raised his hand to put the stretcher on the field.
Porto's stretcher was also considerate, and quickly ran to Porto's penalty area without waiting for the order of the fourth official.
Ronaldo's face was pale, his hands were covering his abdomen, unable to speak or move, he was carried out of the field on a stretcher and went to the sidelines for treatment.
The fans of Manchester United were angry and hated, they all stood up and cursed Gao Xiaodong.
But the Porto fans breathed a sigh of relief and applauded Gao Xiaodong one after another, praising him for a good job.
Sir Alex Ferguson's face was as dark as water. Ronaldo played a huge role in his tactical system. If Ronaldo is off the field, it will be difficult to play next.
However, Ferguson still had to prepare for the worst. He quickly let the teenager Kiko warm up and prepare to replace Ronaldo.
After the team doctor examined Ronaldo, he told Ferguson that there was nothing wrong with Ronaldo, but that he was knocked out of his breath and he would be fine after a short rest.
Ferguson can't replace Ronaldo, but Ronaldo has to rest now. Manchester United can only play 11 with 10 people temporarily, waiting for Ronaldo to play.
Porto waited for a chance to breathe, and immediately launched an attack. Gao Xiaodong counterattacked with a long pass from the backcourt. Hulk took the ball with his strong body and quickly broke through the sidewalk. Evra had no choice but to send Hulk Gram stumbled.
Porto was not in a hurry, and slowly waited for Gao Xiaodong to come up and take a free kick.
Gao Xiaodong waved and waved three times, but when he walked to the ball, he pretended to lower his head to straighten the ball, but suddenly passed the ball to Hulk.
Hulk took the ball and kicked a ground ball to the penalty area.
Falcao started quickly, rushed into the penalty area before Ferdinand and Vidic, fell to the ground and shoveled, but unfortunately he shoveled the ball to the post and missed the chance to kill Manchester United.
At 85 minutes into the game, Cristiano Ronaldo finally returned to the field. At the same time, Ronaldo was accompanied by the teenager Macheda. All three substitutes were used up. The three forwards were present at the same time. Ferguson made a final effort.
Porto replaced Rodriguez, replaced Guarin, and returned to defense across the board. Only Falcao stayed in the center circle, ready to stick to this last plus stoppage time of less than ten minutes.
Manchester United grabbed the goal post just now and continued to attack.
Nani, O'Shea, and Scholes were besieging from the side. Gao Xiaodong, Guarin, and Sissoko from Porto defended fiercely. There were so many people crowded on the side, there was no room for sprinting, and there was no Nani. Ribbon space.
However, at this time, the god-like Nani disappeared, and there was only one shit-like Nani left. He was still dribbling with so many people, and Gao Xiaodong knocked him aside and broke the ball. Unable to control the ball, it was cut off by Scholes again.
After all, the veteran has experience, knowing that there is no threat at all to scramble on the sidewalk, so he directly kicked towards the penalty area with a big kick.
Gualin rushed over to block, and the ball flew out of the sideline.
O'Shea threw the ball directly into the penalty area. Ronaldo headed towards the front of the penalty area. Carrick shot angrily at the ball. The ball was blocked by Fernando and flew towards the goal. However, there were many people in the penalty area. The post was blocked by Rolando from the bottom line.
The time has come to 88 minutes, and almost all Manchester United players have come to the penalty area to compete for this corner kick, and goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has also come to the center circle.
At this time, none of the 50,000 fans in the audience was sitting and watching the game, including the celebrities and bigwigs in the VIP box, all of them were standing, staring at the stadium without blinking.
When Ryan Giggs took a corner kick, you fought for each other in the penalty area, you pulled me and you pulled you, and the referee Busacca almost became a fighting referee at this time, constantly separating the players.
After about a minute, Giggs finally took the corner kick.
Ferdinand and Vidic played a screen, and Vidic grabbed the point, but Vidic was a little impatient, and the ball was pushed wide of the post by him.
Porto got the chance to open the goal.
At this time, the fourth official raised the stoppage time sign: 4 minutes.
Helton began to stall for time again. He slowly retrieved the ball, slowly put the ball away, and retreated into the net to kick off.
The Manchester United players were furious and protested one after another. The referee Busacca also decisively showed Helton a yellow card.
When Helton kicked off, he wanted to pass the ball to the full-back Sapruna, but the captain Alves shouted: Keep out of the sideline.
Helton is also a veteran of Brazil, and immediately understood what Alves meant, and drove the ball towards the sideline of Manchester United's half.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar ran outside to pick up the ball himself, trying to save a little time.
But Porto's ball boy was very cunning. He deliberately picked up the ball slowly and handed it to Van der Sar, so angry that Van der Sar wanted to give him a kick.
Van der Sar threw the ball to Vidic, stoppage time has reached the first 2 minutes.
At this time, there was no tactics at all, and Vidic kicked the ball towards Porto's penalty area.
Vidic's footwork is very good, the ball just fell into the penalty area, and Porto goalkeeper Helton couldn't get it.
The penalty area became a mess again, the ball was kicked around by ten or twenty kicks, and Rooney finally kicked Rolando and bounced out of the baseline.
In the third minute of stoppage time, Manchester United won a corner kick, perhaps this is their last corner kick in this Champions League.
Everyone came to Porto's restricted area, including Van der Sar.
Ryan Giggs took a corner kick and there was another scramble and shoving in the penalty area. The referee Busacca had to draw out two yellow cards to calm down the players on both sides and turn their attention to the ball.
Giggs took a high-speed corner kick, looking for Ronaldo.
This time Manchester United played another tactical screen. Rooney blocked Ronaldo. Ronaldo didn't have to fight under the defense of the two. He beat Alves with a header.
This is an excellent opportunity, and it is also Manchester United's last chance. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was not comfortable in the game, was impetuous, and he pushed the header on the post with his usual training.
The ball bounced outside the penalty area, and the only person waiting on the perimeter was Manchester United's veteran Scholes following up to meet the ball and shoot again. Gao Xiaodong had already rushed out and hit Gao Xiaodong's body and bounced off. Gao Xiaodong paused, then Run to grab the ball.
Now that Van der Sar is still in Porto's penalty area, Scholes must not let Gao Xiaodong get the ball, and he bumped into Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong dodges to hide, but Scholes grabs the jersey tightly.
The Porto fans in the stands started to look at their watches when the ball hit Gao Xiaodong. Seeing that the stoppage time had passed, the referee did not blow his whistle or call a foul. They all shouted in unison: Whistle, whistle!
The referee Busacca looked at his watch. The time had passed, so he ignored Scholes' foul and directly blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Porto's players fought for 94 minutes, all supported by a single spirit. Hearing the whistle, everyone lay on the ground exhausted physically and mentally, like dead dogs.
Hearing the whistle sounded, all the Porto fans jumped up crazily, applauded crazily, shouted crazily, and many people shed tears with excitement. They were able to eliminate the mighty Manchester United, which they did not dare to do before the game. It is imaginable, but the players have created miracles, how can the fans not be proud and proud.
The Manchester United players couldn't believe this result at all. Rooney thumped the ground angrily, Ronaldo looked numb, Macheda burst into tears, Giggs Scholes and other veterans were calmer and silently came to comfort teammates.
Ferguson had already expected such a result in stoppage time. With the opponent's cunning and wretchedness, he probably wouldn't give Manchester United a chance. So after the whistle sounded, the old man just took a deep look at Gao Xiaodong, turned around and walked away. Back to the locker room.
