In the dressing room of the away team at Old Trafford, Van Gaal looked at his disciples with a serious expression: "Don't be careless, this is Old Trafford, here, Manchester United can do any miracle, if you don't want to be the next miracle victim of Manchester United, then show your performance and show the fans and opponents here that even at Old Trafford, you have the ability to take away a victory." ”

At the same time, in the home dressing room, Ferguson was also making the final mobilization: "This is Old Trafford, this is our home stadium, this is only Manchester United, there can only be one winner here, and that is us as the masters, now, use your performance to let the opponents and fans know who is the owner of this stadium." ”

In the just-concluded round of Premier League matches, Manchester United and Chelsea had a strong encounter, which also prompted the physical exhaustion of several of Manchester United's veterans, Neville did not even enter the squad for this game, Ferguson could only use the youngster Rafael, and Scholes was also on the bench. The young Gibson was given a chance to play, and Park Ji-sung left the field injured in the previous round and could only appear in the stands for this game.

And what Manchester United needs in this game is to score, so Ferguson put on a three-striker formation, and before the game, Ferguson also firmly denied that Lu Xiaopang would appear in this game, and the result ~~~ Everyone has seen it.

For the sake of safety, the left-back is still on Bad Stuber, Gomez continues to sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity, the biggest change in Bayern Munich is Robben's return from injury, which is undoubtedly the best news for Bayern Munich, you must know that Robben's performance this season is only this Li Feng.

Needless to say, Li Feng has booked the best transfer of the year in Europe in advance, even if the past transfer period was turbulent, countless superstars changed their doors, and Ronaldo set a transfer value, but this did not prevent Li Feng from becoming the most successful and valuable of these transfers.

In addition, in the Bundesliga, Li Feng has also booked the best player in the Bundesliga, and at the same time, Li Feng has also conquered the media in European countries with his outstanding performance in the knockout round.

When referee Rizzoli from Italy blew the whistle for the start of the game, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals officially kicked off at Old Trafford.

Manchester United at home were given the right to kick off and Wayne Rooney played the ball back to Nani, who played a ball back to Fletcher, who picked up the ball and linked up with Gibson in the middle, with Carrick ready to pick it up.

Muller and Olic stepped up at the same time to force Fletcher to pass to Carrick behind him, and then the two rushed to Carrick, who passed the ball to the club again, and the ball came to Vidic's feet, but Vidic couldn't Muller and Olic and sent the ball directly to Evra on the left wing.

The French full-back began to push forward after getting the ball, Gibson will move on the left side and be ready to respond at any time, and Nani in front of him will also retreat slightly, and the three will form a combination, at this time, Bayern Munich on the right side Robben rushed to Evra, Lahm followed Nani, and the faster Li Feng blocked in front of Gibson.

In the face of Robben coming forward to scramble, Evra finally did not pass the ball to the other two people who were closely defended, but chose to push the middle, the ball returned to Carrick again, Manchester United stealth emperor began to attack with the ball in the middle, Bayern side Schweinsteiger began to intercept, and on the other side Li Feng retreated to protect the backfield.

Li Feng and Schweinsteiger's cooperation is quite tacit, one grabs, the other must stay behind the defender to defend, the same is true when attacking, Li Feng holds the ball to score, Schweinsteiger must be behind him to respond or prevent being broken ball counterattack, and vice versa.

Schweinsteiger and Carrick, in fact, the two have similar abilities and similar roles in the team, and the collision between the two did not distinguish the winner or loser, and finally ended with Carrick's pass.

The ball came to the right side, and Rafael, the youngster who had the opportunity to play in this game, received the ball and quickly attacked the Bayern Munich half, until he met Bad Stuber, but at this time, Rafael passed the ball.

With a diagonal pass, the ball flew to Bayern Munich's penalty area to find Rooney in the middle, but Rooney was followed by Demichelis, in this case, Rooney could not turn calmly at all, so Rooney did not choose to force a turn, but at the moment of receiving the pass, Lu Xiaopang directly pushed with his left foot.

The ball flew to the left outside the penalty area, and Gibson, another young midfielder who had a chance to play, quickly cut in, faced Rooney's kick, and shot directly without stopping the ball.

"GOAL~~~~ PERFECT START, FANTASTIC GOAL, JUST TWO MINUTES INTO THE OPENING GAME, UNITED SCORED A GOAL WITH THE FIRST SHOT, ROONEY MADE THE BALL, GIBSON INSERTED A LONG SHOT, BAYERN MUNICH GOALKEEPER BOUT DID NOT REACT, BUT THIS CAN'T BE HELPED, AT THE MOMENT GIBSON SHOT, BOUT HAD NO VISION AT ALL, HIS VISION WAS BLOCKED BY THE TEAM IN FRONT OF HIM."

'United showed their form to make it 2-3 on aggregate and with one more goal they could take the initiative into their own hands, but they need to be careful because they scored in the opening of the game in the last game.

After the goal, Gibson made a beautiful kneeling gesture to celebrate, which was also the first goal of the young Irish midfielder in the Champions League, in such an important game, scoring such an important goal, Gibson can imagine the mood at the moment, Manchester United fans also gave the young midfielder the warmest applause and cheers.
