Three hundred and seventieth chapters outside instep shot
Porto's counterattack was very sudden. When Hulk went forward to attack, the full-back Fucilet did not keep up. After the ball bounced out, it was caught by Manchester United left-back Evra. Evra took advantage of Hulk's shot After being uprooted by Carrick and did not return to his position, he quickly launched a counterattack.
Manchester United's counterattack was amazing. Evra passed to Giggs, and he rushed to the bottom line like lightning. The Porto midfielder did not dare to release Giggs. Giggs made a wall pass to Evra. Evra broke through Fusi Lai made a successful cross.
At this moment, there are already players outflanking Manchester United at the front, middle and back points. Giggs is a step slower at the front point. Ronaldo has already inserted into the middle of the penalty area. He and Berbatov jumped high to grab this Headed the ball, but Evra's pass was a bit high, neither Ronaldo nor Berbatov could reach it.
However, Manchester United had a lot of counterattack points. Rooney jumped high at the back point, volleyed and hit the ball to the left of the goal.
Porto goalkeeper Helton was a step late, but Rooney slammed the ball into the side netting.
The net shook, and the Manchester United and Porto fans who were in bad positions thought the goal had been scored, some screamed and some cheered.
The speed of Manchester United's counterattack this time and the number of outflanking players made the Porto players a little scared. Although Rooney missed the ball this time, it may not miss it next time.
When Helton served the goal kick, Ferreira on the sidelines also pressed down his palms, telling the players to play steadily, slowly, and not to worry.
Porto captain Alves discussed it with Gao Xiaodong and Helton, and felt that being counterattacked by a team like Manchester United would probably be fatal. Now it is only a goal difference, and there are two away goals. As long as one goal is scored, Manchester United can be eliminated, so he decided to play steadily.
Helton didn't kick the ball with a big kick and passed the ball to captain Alves. Porto took possession of the ball in the midfield and slowed down the pace of the game.
Manchester United took a one-goal lead, and they were also afraid of Porto's counterattack, and they were not as tight as they were at the beginning. Porto's players didn't pass the ball across the midfield, they just grabbed it symbolically. Once Porto passed the ball to the At halftime, Manchester United immediately carried out a fierce siege, grabbed it and then counterattacked.
The slow-paced game lasted from 20 minutes to 35 minutes. The two sides mainly held the ball in their respective backcourts, fought in the midfield, and rarely hit the opponent's penalty area.
Look at the end of the first half with ten minutes left. Gao Xiaodong suddenly accelerated after passing the rushing Anderson in the middle circle, and drove straight into the penalty area of Manchester United.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong speed up suddenly, Hulk, Falcao, and Rodriguez understood it, and immediately rushed forward to meet Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong was extremely fast,
A few breaths approached Manchester United's 30-meter zone.
Anderson and Rooney quickly chased back, Carrick came to intercept.
Facing Carrick who was coming to intercept him, Gao Xiaodong did not break through forcefully, passed the ball to Rodriguez, and ran to the side without slowing down.
Gao Xiaodong was too fast, and Anderson couldn't keep up. Carrick was worried that Gao Xiaodong and Rodriguez would attack O'Shea, so he had to follow Gao Xiaodong to the side.
Although Rodriguez is a big one, but last time he said that he would pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong, this time he really kept his promise. When he saw Gao Xiaodong coming, he passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong made a cooperation.
Before Gao Xiaodong took the ball, he looked back at the center and found that Melles had advanced forward. He stopped and kicked his heels, and just passed the ball to Melles' passing line.
Meleses took the ball forward and rushed into Manchester United's 30-meter area from Anderson's side. Before the Manchester United defender came to block it, he shot directly with his foot.
Mereles is also a good long-range shooter, but Gao Xiaodong and Hulk both have strong long-range shots, and Mereles' long-range shots are ignored.
Merles' shot was extremely fast, almost reaching 70 kilometers per hour, but the angle was not so tricky. The goalkeeper Van der Sar fell to the ground in a hurry, and the ball flew into the penalty area.
At this time, both Falcao and Ferdinand had already arrived quickly. Although Ferdinand was a little slower, he reached out and pushed Falcao smartly. .
Porto's attack boosted morale. The Porto fans in the stands were depressed by the mediocre game just now, but they all stood up and applauded at the moment.
The ball went to Manchester United's side, and was beaten by Porto. The Manchester United players felt that their face was not good, and immediately launched an attack, trying to get back this face.
Manchester United's formation, the strongest defense and striker, neither Anderson, Carrick or Ryan Giggs in the middle are good at organizing and dispatching. After the ball transitioned in the midfield, it was passed to Ronaldo immediately. Luo used his personal ability to create opportunities.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the world's footballer, he is a big tree, and he has been marked by Porto.
The ball passed to Ronaldo's feet, and Rodriguez immediately clung to him, staring at Ronaldo.
Ronaldo flicked to the left, then flicked to the right, and suddenly turned from the left, throwing Rodriguez away.
However, after a little delay, Gao Xiaodong has already quickly returned to the defense from the frontcourt, and he came from the hot pursuit, ready to steal Ronaldo's ball from behind.
But Ronaldo already sensed that someone was approaching, he stopped abruptly, swayed past Gao Xiaodong who was rushing towards him, and wanted to change direction and walk towards the middle.
But Gao Xiaodong was so easy to pass by, when he rushed past Ronaldo, Gao Xiaodong reached out and grabbed Ronaldo's jersey.
Gao Xiaodong loosened it as soon as he pulled it, but Ronaldo still threw himself on the ground, trying to earn Gao Xiaodong a yellow card.
But Gao Xiaodong complained first, and immediately complained to the referee Busaka, saying that Ronaldo flopped.
The 50,000 fans in the stands immediately shouted: C Ronaldo diving! Diving Ronaldo!
One side is the World Footballer of the Year, and the other side has 50,000 fans as their backing. The referee, Busaca, could not offend anyone, and gave Manchester United a free kick, but did not give Gao Xiaodong a yellow card.
Carrick came over to serve a free kick, and Gao Xiaodong came over to mark Ronaldo himself.
Carrick passed the ball to Ronaldo, Gao Xiaodong stuck behind Ronaldo, grabbed Ronaldo's jersey with one hand, and pushed Ronaldo's waist with the other.
Ronaldo also wanted to turn around but couldn't, and was pushed by Gao Xiaodong to move towards the sideline.
Cristiano Ronaldo had no choice but to pass the ball to Anderson, but as soon as he lifted one foot, Gao Xiaodong shoved him and staggered. He wanted to dive and fell, but Gao Xiaodong grabbed the jersey again.
At this time Rodriguez took the opportunity to steal the ball from Ronaldo's feet.
Rodriguez takes the ball and advances quickly along the wing.
At this time, O'Shea has already responded, and there is a large space on the side. Rodriguez kicked the ball to the bottom line and forced a breakthrough from the outside.
Vidic saw that Rodriguez kicked the ball a bit too big, rushed to the sideline at high speed, and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.
Rodriguez made an emergency stop and ran over to prepare for a throw-in.
Porto's ball boy knows the ball well, knowing that Porto is on a fast break, he picks up the ball as fast as he can and throws it to Rodriguez.
Rodriguez quickly served the ball and threw it to Gao Xiaodong who ran over to catch the ball.
Gao Xiaodong saw Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar move to the right side of the goal while he was running. He stopped the ball with his chest, and before the ball landed, he turned half-turned and volleyed with the instep of his left foot, and the ball went out. A strange arc flew towards the goal.
