Chapter 184: I Didn't Throw Bones

In front of Milan's big-name stars, Rooney turned into a little tender melon, and his big scene aura disappeared......

The referee blew the whistle at half-time.

But the score is still 0:0, although Milan has an absolute advantage, but still did not form a goal, and Manchester United had two or three good scoring opportunities, but they were squandered by Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo.

Dong Fangzhuo got a chance, but he created it himself, and other times, he didn't have a chance to shoot, but the ball he leaked to Rooney in the last minute was beautiful, but it was a pity that Rooney's leg was weak.

"A lot of people think that Wayne Rooney was made for big scenes. Ahead of the AC Milan game, Wayne Rooney himself admitted that one of his main motivations for joining United was the chance to play against the European giants, and he made his debut with a hat-trick against Fenerbahce in the Champions League group stage. But since then, he has rarely made a difference in Europe. ”

"Obviously, in the first half he did far from enough, you know, the player who was targeted in the first half was not him, but Chinese Dong, behind Dong was the Milan defense led by Maldini and Nesta, but he did not get lost in the big scene, he created a good scoring opportunity for Ronaldo and Rooney, but neither of them took it, especially Rooney, his position is so free, basically facing Cafu, but he still did not play as well as he should."

Rooney has been criticised by Lineker, who believes that Rooney has not played up to his value and standard. Then he also mentioned Ronaldo: "Ronaldo seems to be on par with Kaka, Kaka has several long-distance runs in the game, and he has done it very reasonably, Ronaldo thinks he can do the same, so he also wants to play like this, but the effect is obviously not as good as Kaka, but the last-minute run is good, and he chose to pass the ball to Dong at the first time." ”

"As for Dong, he's calm enough, but he can be bolder and try like his first and only shot."

However, AC Milan's 4321 formation effectively contained United's attack, and combined with the visitors' better possession skills, United could not organize a fluid attack for a long time. At the same time, Milan, who had the initiative in the midfield, basically cut off the connection between Scholes, Ronaldo, Rooney and Dong, Dong's activity space was compressed to a very small extent, and he was often in a lonely dilemma, and several attempts to get the ball were destroyed by the opponent in advance. ”

Lineker mentioned exactly what Ferguson mentioned in the dressing room, and the two men actually had similar views.

Ferguson rarely didn't use a hair dryer to motivate the team, after all, this Manchester United team is very young, and he doesn't know what level he can play in today's game, but no matter what, young players can definitely learn a lot in this game, which will definitely be of great benefit in the future.

In the second half, Ferguson had already warmed up Ryan Giggs and Ruud van Nistelrooy on the sidelines, giving the young players a chance, but he also did not forget the veterans on the bench, and the game against Milan was a game of patience and will, and neither side could afford to lose as it did in the Premier League.

Giggs must have come up to play on the left, but I don't know whether to replace Rooney or Fletcher, after all, Ferguson will consider the 442 formation and the role of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

This is very contradictory, if you change Rooney, it means that Vanney may not play, because the combination of Vanney and Dong Fangzhuo is not good, and if you change Fletcher, it will probably mean that Dong Fangzhuo will be replaced. If Wayne Rooney can't find his form in the second half, Ferguson is more likely to replace Rooney.

On the Milan side, Costacuta, Ambrosini and Serginho were all warming up. However, with Ancelotti's character, they will not be sent on the field immediately, just prepare in advance, and Serginho may get more playing time.

At the beginning of the second half, both sides again became cautious and did not rush to attack, especially Milan, who seemed to be asleep again?

In the first ten minutes of the second half, there was almost no attack from either side!

Milan have not been in a hurry, and it is useless for Manchester United to be in a hurry, because they have too few opportunities to get the ball. In fact, lowering the tempo of attack and defence is a good thing for both teams, Milan can not use too much energy, and Manchester United can also reduce mistakes.

Ten minutes later, however, the tempo was lifted by Keane, who was struggling defensively in the game and rarely provided help to the attack, but his sudden through ball on the 57th minute still posed a huge threat to Milan in an instant.

Rooney received his through ball and chose to knock back to Cafu, Dong Fangzhuo pulled back to answer, but was violated by Gattuso to the ground. Dong Fangzhuo thought that he could play more comfortably after escaping from the clutches of Nesta and Maldini, but he didn't expect Gattuso to think about him.

This is also a new tactic that Ferguson explained at half-time, making Dong Fangzhuo's running position more flexible and driving the Milan defense at any time, but he was killed by Gattuso as soon as he came out.

"Gattuso's foul is a bit casual, this is bullying Manchester United for no one to take a free kick," Seeing standing in front of the penalty spot, Lineker sounded a person, "If David Beckham was on the field, Gattuso would not have played so casually, he would definitely have to weigh Beckham's moon scimitar." ”

In the current Manchester United team, there is really no player with outstanding free kick footwork, and even Wayne Rooney has become the number one choice for set-pieces.

It's just that his free-kick hit the wall and didn't pose a real threat to Milan.

At this time, Ruud van Nistelrooy is almost warming up and is already taking off his coat, which means that he may be playing soon. I wonder if it's stimulated by this reason? Rooney, on the contrary, has become a lot more active.

He could only find Cafu to vent, in the 63rd minute, Rooney ate Cafu raw on the left side, Cafu obviously suffered on the turn, and the young Rooney was not afraid of his small movements at all, and crossed from the sideline.

For Dong Fangzhuo, it was too difficult to receive Rooney's cross.

Although he rarely took the ball in this game, he never stopped playing with Nesta, it was a pure physical confrontation, Dong Fangzhuo felt that Nesta was quite difficult, and the other central defenders would stare at the opponent's striker when the opponent had the ball to attack, but Nesta was not, Nesta was always staring at him like a ghost, not letting Dong Fangzhuo run out of his marking range, unless Dong Fangzhuo stayed away from the big penalty area.

However, no matter how awesome a defender is, he can't be so focused for 90 minutes, especially when there is one more person by Dong Fangzhuo's side!

While Rooney was on the left side of the ball, Ronaldo also rushed into the penalty area, and he appeared next to Nesta, and at the right time, Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo attracted Nesta and Maldini at the same time.

With Ronaldo covering by his side, Dong Fangzhuo instantly felt that there was an opportunity, he first leaned Nesta, and then suddenly fled outside the penalty area, Ronaldo took advantage of this to block it, trying to cut off Nesta's defense against Dong Fangzhuo.

However, he ignored Maldini.

Maldini's presence in this game has never been high, but when he is needed, he will always appear, and it is the same now, in front of Maldini, the careful thinking of these two little guys seems to be completely in his hands, and Ronaldo has not escaped from his palm at all.

When Ronaldo wanted to cut between Dong Fangzhuo and Nesta, Maldini rushed in before him, but cut off the connection between Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo!

Fack! While Ronaldo was scolding in his heart, Rooney's cross had already whistled, a half-high ball!

At the same time, when Dong Fangzhuo made a detour in the middle, Nesta pressed forward step by step, and did not let Dong Fangzhuo run away at all, but Nesta's cadence was never as fast as Dong Fangzhuo!

Dong Fangzhuo first turned to the left with a key step, but suddenly reversed his body and rushed back to the right in the small penalty area! When Nesta was alert, although he also turned around, he was still a step slower than Dong Fangzhuo.

At that moment, Dong Fangzhuo was able to turn around and volley with his left foot 15 meters in front of the goal!

Dida!

It's just godly, a dog-planing pounce! It's incredibly fast.

actually threw the ball shot by Dong Fangzhuo into his arms, and there was no accident at all!

Fuck, I didn't throw bones......

You, you, you......
