Riquelme walked over, put his left hand on Fran's shoulder, and shook his head slightly. If this provocation falls for the opponent's move, how many stories do you have to do in each game?

As the core of Argentina and Villarreal's midfield, Riquelme is very quiet, but his influence in the team is not comparable to ordinary people.

Forlan doesn't listen to anyone, Riquelme has to listen to what Riquelme says, without Riquelme, there would be no European Golden Boot for him last season. I'm counting on Riquelme to pass him the ball today.

He is more hungry than ever to score at Old Trafford and while he loves the club, he wants to prove himself in the game.

He Fran is not the first parallel commodity in Manchester United's history!

He turned his head and endured!

Martin Taylor and Lineker were already sitting in the live studio analysing the game.

'Qualification from this group is a chaotic one, with United currently holding seven points and a home win over Villarreal in this round of fixtures will look bright. At present, Manchester United is in very good shape, and core players such as Chinese Dong, Rooney, and Ronaldo have repeatedly performed well in the recent league, and they are still relatively sure of getting three points. However, if United are accidentally bitten by their opponents, they will likely face the nightmare of exiting the Champions League group stage for the first time since 1994-1995. The other match in the group will be Lille against Benfica, with the former expected to be more likely to win at home. ”

Manchester United have lost just one of their last 26 Champions League group stage home games, beating Deportivo 3-2 in the 01-02 season. Villarreal is the quintessential example of practical football, scoring only four goals in four games, but topping the group. Since the start of last season, Villarreal have lost just one of their 19 European matches. Coupled with the return of Argentine Riquelme, he will be the brain of Villarreal, a team that is very dangerous......"

'Manchester United's Paul Scholes is out from the squad and Richardson is back at left-back, with Fletcher and Smith partnering in the middle, Neville continuing to start at the back and Serbian Nemanja Vidic partnering Rio Ferdinand in the middle.

"For Manchester United, Forlan and Riquelme are the key figures, and if you look at both of them, the victory is half done. Fran was handed over to Vidic, and Riquelme was also Smith's prey. Of course, Villarreal's side will certainly be waiting for Manchester United's forward line. ”

'Manchester United leader Roy Keane left Old Trafford last week, but after back-to-back wins over Chelsea and Charlton Athletic, Ferguson will be looking to make it three wins in a row with the same starting line-up.

Honk!

The battle begins.

Gary Neville, who has made 99 Champions League appearances for Manchester United, did a good job in the opening minute.

Facing Thorin, Neville knocked Sorin down with a sweeping leg.

Thorin was caught off guard and rolled on the lawn several times.

"This guy is a true legend of Simeone! I just like acting. Lineker immediately remembered Simeone, Beckham's enemy, and he thought that Sorin had learned from Simeone, and that it was too exaggerated to fall to the ground.

Standing in front of the agony Thorin, Neville looked a little triumphant.

"The result was the same last time and this time!"

"Hmph."

In the last Anglo-Argentine battle, the two of them were right against each other, and this time Manchester United and Villarreal were also against each other......

Thorin lay on the turf and hated itchy, but he didn't expect to be yin by Neville once at the beginning, which was a big loss. He was still thinking about going to Dong Fangzhuo's trouble, but he didn't expect Manchester United, the player came to him first.

Although Villarreal had a chance to take a free-kick, Riquelme's pass into the Manchester United penalty area was easily cleared by Vidic, and Forlan didn't even touch it......

It was Manchester United's turn to attack, Fletcher handed the ball to the feet of Ronaldo, who had already run to the left, and he made a croquette on the left side, breaking through the two in an instant!

"Beautiful!"

Cristiano Ronaldo rarely plays with croquettes, an action that immediately drew cheers from Old Trafford, and it seems that Ronaldo has transformed into Scholes.

But Ronaldo didn't have time to enjoy the applause of the fans and immediately passed the ball to the middle.

Rooney was quick on the left rib eye in the penalty area, stopped and picked up with his right foot, and picked off Pena in one go, Villarreal's defense was torn apart instantly, followed by Rooney's left-footed push directly in front of the goal from 7 yards!

Villarreal's goalkeeper Barbosa fought hard to make a block.

The ball flew to the sideline of the penalty area, Dong Fangzhuo moved like a rabbit, instantly ran out from between the two central defenders, and volleyed sideways with his left foot against the ball!

Gonzalo, the central defender who was originally thrown off, just subconsciously stretched out his thighs and just blocked the ball off the bottom line.

Corner kick.

Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic rushed up from behind to join the battle for a corner.

Villarreal's players did not dare to slack off, and almost all of them ran back into the box, almost clearing a wall on the line of the small penalty area.

As a result, Rooney took a tactical corner, and the ball passed to enough Smith, who met the ball and shot! As a result, the ball bounced out again, and Dong Fangzhuo struggled out of the crowd again.

He once again ran to the edge of the box and volleyed, but this time his powerful shot went wide of the near corner......

"Manchester United's attack is very strong!"

The fans in the stadium were also quite excited, constantly cheering for Manchester United. In less than five minutes, United's trident brought Villarreal into a furious attack.

It didn't take long for Smith to pass and shoot, but Dong Fangzhuo plugged in the middle, and the ghost unloaded Smith's ball and immediately shot hard from 22 yards!

Knock –

The Villarreal goalkeeper reacted quickly again and saved the ball off the line.

Rooney sent a tactical corner to Smith again, this time Smith did not choose to shoot from a distance, but passed the ball horizontally to Park Ji-sung, who was inserted, Park Ji-sung suddenly rubbed the back point, and the understanding Dong Fangzhuo immediately jumped in, and Barbosa grabbed the ball before Dong Fangzhuo.

"Beautiful, Manchester United just plays like this, Villarreal will always be unable to withstand it!"

"They don't intend to give Villarreal a respite."

Manchester United had 64 per cent possession and took advantage of their home advantage to dominate the game.

Villarreal didn't get their first shot on goal until the 15th minute, but Figueroa's long-range shot was blocked.

The Reds then immediately launched a counter-attack, with the Reds playing a fairly simple style of play, playing directly behind them at the back.

Rooney got the ball on the left side as he wished, and then immediately picked up a pass to the left rib of the penalty area that was slightly wide, and Dong Fangzhuo, who was keeping up, missed the opportunity.

"Rooney is a little sassy today, a thief who plays with small skills, and his feet are good today! But the United captain seems to be a little bit worse today, and he always seems to be half a beat slower? ”

Dong Fangzhuo was taunted by Martin Taylor for missing two scoring chances.

Villarreal immediately launched a counterattack and handed it to Riquelme's feet. In the first ten minutes, Riquelme did not have many chances to get the ball, because Park Ji-sung and Smith took turns dangling in front of him, and his running speed was slow, so naturally there were fewer opportunities to get the ball.

But Riquelme had just taken the ball to his feet and wanted to make a feint to pedal a bicycle to shake Park Ji-sung, but he didn't expect Smith to shovel at him like lightning.

A tackle as fast as the wind!

By the time Riquelme reacted, Smith had already gotten up and passed the ball!

The ball fell to the feet of Dong Fangzhuo, who was pulled to the side of the midfield!

Just in time!

Ahead is Thorin......

Hmmm-

The ball was kicked forward by Dong Fangzhuo fiercely, and flew behind Solin in an instant.

Dong Fangzhuo immediately accelerated, trying to bypass Thorin from the left.

Thorin is not a small melon either, and has a lot of experience. In an instant, it was judged that Dong Fangzhuo wanted to divide the ball. His whole person immediately blocked the side road, and blocked Dong Fangzhuo's running route as soon as possible.

But Dong Fangzhuo relied on his strong body and did not stop, and the two of them collided wildly, because Solin took the initiative to bump into him, so Suorin had an advantage at first.

But soon, after three consecutive collisions, Dong Fangzhuo's feet exerted force again, and at the same time, with the help of the collision between the two people, he instantly bounced off the lateral distance between him and Sorin.

His whole body bounced off the sideline, but he didn't lose his balance, and with a slight adjustment, he made a big arc, surpassing Thorin,

One, two, three, he took a big step to catch up with the ball! Thorin was pulled tightly behind him.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh?"

"A crazy overtaking on the outside road!"

"Thorin has been pulled away!"

"The captain of Manchester United caught up with the ball and Villarreal's defence was brutally torn apart!"

"Ronaldo,"

"Ronaldo is rushing from the right to the penalty area!"

"Cross?"

"Ronaldo shoots!"
