Chapter 386: Promotion

Since it doesn't affect you, ignore it.

Drogba's body rushed diagonally towards the sky like a rocket.

Directly ahead, if hot. Costa.

Side front, is a soccer ball.

If hot. Costa knew that Drogba had jumped early, and guessed that maybe he was competing with him for a landing spot, so he had to jump early.

As a centre-back, sometimes intimidation is also one of the defensive skills. Being able to force the opponent to panic and make mistakes first just by relying on their ability to appear in the right position is the best defense.

So he's very happy with Drogba's early start.

This means that there is a good chance that you will hit this ball!

Even if his bounce ability is much worse than Drogba's because of his age, his header is by no means just a brainless skill for bounce and his body.

It is a natural law that the first to jump will inevitably fall first than the last to jump.

So if it's hot. Costa jumped a little half a step late, and this was the perfect moment for him to jump and have a great chance of hitting the ball.

But he soon realizes that something is wrong!

It's not just Ruo Heat that finds things wrong. Costa, and Carvalho!

Because Drogba, who was dragged by him, did not fall, but ...... Keep rising! It's as if he had a rocket thruster mounted on the soles of his feet! Gravity can't stop him at all!

With his super bounce ability and outstanding ability to stay in the air, Drogba perfectly broke through Carvalho and Jorge. Costa two into the defense. He got to the ball first!

"Oh no! He's so tall! A commentator exclaimed.

With his exclamation, Drogba smashed the ball down with his head!

"Didier heads it in!"

“gooooooooooooooooooo――al!!”

The narrators yelled.

Three into the air, Drogba is the highest, if hot. Costa was the second, and Carvalho, who was in a hurry, was the shortest, and he could only watch Drogba grab Jorge. Costa had the ball in the ...... The ball was smashed directly to the ground by Drogba, not the goal, and then talked again, just bypassing Baya's defense and flying into the goal!

A nice bounce ball!

The air at Old Trafford seemed to freeze at that moment, and then it exploded!

Eighteen minutes into the game, Manchester United was led by Didier Drogba with a header!

1:0!

As long as the scoreline remains until the end, the Reds will be able to progress to the quarter-finals.

Drogba got the ball in front of Costa and his strategy of getting the first jump was successful. Immediately followed by the two of them, and did not bump into each other.

After landing, Drogba glanced at the ball that bounced into the goal, then turned and ran to the camera booth in the corner flag area.

"Ball...... The ball is in!! The narrator shouted wildly.

"Beautiful header! Nice header! Costa and Carvalho have nothing to do with Drogba! ”

Drogba's posture was not regular, even a little awkward, he leaned over to head the ball, and he pushed out a bounce ball, just avoiding Baya...... It's really jingcai! ”

"Manchester United are ahead! As long as the scoreline is maintained, it will be Manchester United who advance. ”

Drogba sprinted his arms wide for the corner flag, then slammed his knees to the ground and slid forward with his head held high until he reached near the touchline.

Drogba spread his arms and glided towards the corner flag area. His teammates followed him, gliding towards the corner flag area and then hugging each other on the ground.

They roared loudly with excitement.

To be able to take the lead in the opening 18 minutes was a wonderful start for Manchester United!

"A thousand beautiful, Didier! A thousand beautiful! ”

"If I were a woman, I would marry you, hahaha!"

"I love you, Didier! You're so fucking amazing! You're jumping almost as high as the beam! ”

"Oh, oh, oh! Let Porto see how powerful our white spoon is!! ”

After getting up from the ground, Drogba did not forget to show an eerie smile to the visiting team's dugout.

Mourinho saw the smile on Drogba's face as he smiled at him, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

, I was scammed!

Jose Mourinho has finally understood the fact that United are not deceived by his weakness, it is him and his Porto who are really deceived.

Because before the game, the one who showed the most arrogance and didn't take Porto the most was Drogba, that is to say, it seemed that Drogba was the one who was deceived the most. Who knows, this kid is acting with him.

It's no wonder that Mourinho isn't angry.

Jiang Feng, who was sitting in a well-located box at Old Trafford, naturally saw Drogba's smirk at Mourinho through the TV in the box, and he couldn't help laughing. This big black guy really has the talent to make movies when he retires in the future.

Seeing the current situation, Jiang Feng already knows that there is no suspense for Manchester United to enter the next round. This is because United have led the game so far this season and have never lost or been equalised, especially at Old Trafford.

Sure enough, as Jiang Feng expected, Manchester United, who had taken the lead, did not give Porto any chance at all. Although Porto also launched a counterattack after conceding the goal, it did not threaten the goal of Manchester United in earnest. Instead, just before the end of the first half, United scored a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo through a quick counter-attack, assisted Ruud van Nistelrooy.

With a 2-0 lead at half-time, the game has completely lost its suspense.

The half-time break was brief, and the two sides changed places in the second half.

From the outset, United launched a fierce attack, and the United players were holding back their strength to pull off a massacre to avenge the first leg of their unbeaten run in all competitions this season.

Under the shouts of 120,000 spectators at home, the mighty Manchester United set off wave after wave of attacking frenzy, suppressing Porto in the 30-meter zone.

But even if Porto were cowering in the defensive third, they couldn't save the fate of their gates being breached. Manchester United's two strikers on the field are both masters of breaking dense defenses, Drogba is a battering ram, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, known as the "king of small penalty areas", is also a deadly killer lurking in the penalty area. In the 68th and 82nd minutes of the game, Didier Drogba and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored one goal each.

In the end, in this game, Manchester United's No. 1 shè player Ruud van Nistelrooy and No. 2 shè Didier Drogba scored twice respectively, and Manchester United beat Porto with a score of 4:0 and advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals with a score of 5:2.

At the end of the game, Jiang Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Jiang Feng knew that Manchester United had a good chance of advancing to the next round when Manchester United scored at the beginning, there were still some worries. Because the score of 1:0 is the most dangerous scoreline, and it can be equalized by the opponent if you are not careful, and the Porto team under Jose Mourinho is not a weak team, but they won last year's League Cup. And Jiang Feng remembers very well that in another time and space, Porto drew with Manchester United away, thus eliminating Manchester United, and finally lifted the Champions League trophy this season. Before the game is over, who knows if the habits of history will play a role in allowing Porto to hold Manchester United to a draw?

Fortunately, the final result was Manchester United's victory, and Jiang Feng couldn't help but start looking forward to his team winning this year's Champions League trophy. Because their own team replaced Porto, who eventually won the championship in another time and space, and Manchester United's quality is undoubted, and winning the Champions League is a matter of course.

At the same time, Jiang Feng is also looking forward to the four crowns. The Carabao Cup has already been won by Manchester United, and they have also reached the last four of the FA Cup. Moreover, in Jiang Feng's memory, in another time and space, the only championship Manchester United won this year was the FA Cup, so the FA Cup should not be able to run away. As for the league, in the 27 rounds that have been played, Manchester United still maintains an unbeaten record, they are now 23 wins and 4 draws, with 73 points to lead the standings, behind their white spoon, is also unbeaten Arsenal, they are 20 wins and 7 draws, with 67 points, Manchester United is 6 points ahead, the advantage is more obvious.

On Thursday of this week, after all the UEFA Cup matches were over, the draw for the next round of European competition was also decided. Manchester United's opponent in the quarter-finals is Ligue 1 giants Lyon.

However, United are not thinking about their Champions League opponents for the time being, as they are set to face local city rivals Manchester City at the 28th round of the Premier League at the end of the week.

As mentioned earlier, Manchester United have four bitter enemies in England, and one of them is Manchester City.

If you're walking around the city of Manchester, you'll know that the number one football club here is City, not United. According to incomplete statistics, among the nearly 1.5 million fans in Manchester, more than 70% support Manchester City.

This fact made Jiang Feng, the owner of the Manchester United team, very frustrated and helpless. Because it has a strong relationship with the football community culture in the UK.

Judging from the current composition of fans, Manchester City fans do not have as high economic income and social status as Manchester United fans, but they are brave and loyal, and they come to watch the game, not to show their social status and economic strength. Keane mocked the Manchester United fan aristocracy in the box: "...... They ate caviar and then called us sb......"

Manchester City fans who go to Maine Road are because his father and his grandfather are blue fans, and he himself has been led by his fathers to Maine Road since he was four or five years old.

If we dissect the composition of the fans of these two teams from the perspective of Chinese social stratification, it is easy to conclude that Manchester United is rich and Manchester City is poor. Manchester United's home stadium, Old Trafford, has been refurbished and has become one of the best stadiums in Europe, and is located in the Trafford district, next to one of Europe's most famous shopping districts, which is certainly not a weekly place for the working class.

Manchester City's home jersey is a blue sè, which fits well with their white-spoon "blue-collar style"; Manchester United's main sè is the famous red sè, and their white spoon game often has the devilish momentum of crazy attacking pressure and suffocating opponents. Interestingly, Liverpool, half an hour's drive away, also has two teams that do not share the same name, Everton's main sè is the blue sè, and Liverpool is the red sè.
