2:2。

After 145 minutes of fighting, the two sides were back to square one.

This starting point is very different from the 0:0 when there was no game. It's like a person who became a rich man from scratch, and then went bankrupt and became penniless, it seems to be back to square one, but the two are exactly the same.

Manchester United went from leading to falling behind, and from falling behind to leading, after a period of purgatory-like ordeal, after the equaliser, their spirit and self-confidence were boosted. Hoffenheim has also gone through a period of mixed joy and sorrow, but now morale has been hit, in the strong dialogue, morale is an ethereal thing, like luck, often determines the direction of the game. If Hoffenheim don't turn the tide of the game quickly and boost their morale, the game will become more and more unfavorable for them.

Manchester United's wealth of experience is by no means comparable to Hoffenheim's, and they know the truth of striking while the iron is hot, and after the goal, they did not make too much celebration, and after kicking off again, they continued to attack from both flanks.

However, Hoffenheim's performance today was also extraordinary, even if the morale was a little low, they still resisted Manchester United's menacing attack, especially Li Huan's performance in the back midfield position was remarkable, he not only completed the job of the midfielder, but also often rushed to the two wings, destroying Rooney's two breakthroughs in a row.

Just 5 minutes from Manchester United's second goal, Li Huan gave Hoffenheim a shot in the arm, he himself cleared his teammates with a header in the penalty area, he stepped forward to receive the ball, shook off Manchester United's defense in the middle, and made a wonderful pass, Ruud van Nistelrooy hit the ball when he received it, and the ball was saved by Van der Sar.

Two minutes later, Li Huan once again rushed into the middle and hit the edge of the Manchester United penalty area, Van der Sar was too late to save, but the ball flew off the bottom line on the side of the post.

Hoffenheim's two attacks made Manchester United's attack have to be restrained, they began to adjust the line back, hoping to pull Hoffenheim's defense out and play again, the Hoffenheim's formation was compressed too much, Manchester United was not easy to break, and at the same time, it was very dangerous to give Hoffenheim such a large counterattack space at the back. Just a little bit of luck could have been scored by Hoffenheim.

At this time, the veteran coach Alex Ferguson played first, Anderson was replaced, and the 36-year-old veteran Ryan Giggs was substituted. The on-site commentator shouted in surprise: "Giggs is coming, our loyal Red Devils fighter, a living fossil Giggs who has been active in professional football for 18 years, is now about to complete his 800th professional game, the first 799 games for the Red Devils, Giggs has not received a red card, this is an extremely terrifying record." In his 18-year career, Giggs has won a staggering 29 titles, the number one in the world......"

More than 70,000 Red Devils fans, including those at Hoffenheim, stood up to applaud the football evergreen, who is respected when a person has played at the top of the world for 18 years, whether they are opposing fans or not. 18 years, this is not something that ordinary people can do, and the concentration and sacrifice it requires is enormous.

After Giggs came on the field, Manchester United's attack on the left side was sharper, Giggs's calm and old spicy is incomparable to Anderson's hairy boy, Anderson and Rooney are frizzy guys, although the two can also create some opportunities on the side, but it is also easy to miss opportunities because of impatience, and it is easy to be counterattacked by the opponent. When Ryan Giggs came on, he was able to strengthen the attack and control the situation at the same time.

But Hoffenheim's defense was in place, Sarichovic returned to defend in time, and Li Huan also consciously moved closer to the left side, making up for the flaws in the left side defense at any time.

Look at the game has reached the 70th minute, Manchester United still only has a slight advantage, but it has never been able to turn into a victory, Ferguson made another substitution, Park Ji-sung was replaced, Berbatov came on, Manchester United really played the tactics of three strikers.

Seeing that Ferguson changed two people in a row, Rangnick couldn't stand still, so he discussed it with two assistants and asked the teenager to warm up Strelve. Rangnick's order overjoyed Strelf, who had no intention of playing, and immediately ran to warm up.

Duan Xuan, the commentator of the imperial court station, couldn't help but praise Ferguson when he saw this: "The old lord is 16 years older than Rangnick, but from the point of view of the on-the-spot command, the lord dares to take risks and seek change, although the game has become 2:2, but Hoffenheim is an away game, as long as they score one goal, Manchester United must score two goals, taking risks at this time, it shows that the lord's heart is not old, I really can't figure out why he wanted to retire in 01." ”

Tao Wei said with a smile, "Maybe it's because the lord is worried that Hoffenheim will score first, and now he doesn't attack, and in the end he is scored by the elusive Li Huan, but the lord is dead." ”

The arrival of Berbatov and Ryan Giggs has helped Manchester United's attack a lot, although Berbatov is nicknamed the chic brother by Chinese fans, it is said that this gentleman is not sweating and sweating after a game, and his movements are elegant like stars rather than stars, but he has height after all, and there is a hand that Ronaldo and Rooney can not compare with the organization of the work. He came to the position of center forward, Ronaldo went to the wing, and the old demon Giggs broke through in the middle, and Manchester United's attack power immediately increased by half a step.

Whether it is Ibertsberg against Rooney, or Baker against Ronaldo, it is a difficult task to complete, Sarihovic and Arshavin must return to the penalty area to defend, which makes Hoffenheim's counterattack only two points of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Saviola, if it is Ruud van Nistelrooy and Saviola at the peak, it is enough to suppress Manchester United's entire back line, but now they are old, in the case of Manchester United's bold offside tactics, the threat of these two points has also been minimized.

At this time, Manchester United's offensive gradually rose, and in the 71st minute, the tall and dashing brother stopped the ball with his back to the goal chest and picked up a pass into the penalty area, but unfortunately Ronaldo was one step late, and the ball was kicked out by Simunic.

Two minutes later, the dashing brother tried to perform the trick of hanging the golden hook upside down in the penalty area, but he took Timoshchuk's head as a ball, and Timoshchuk was rubbed on the forehead by the dashing brother's spikes, and the blood flowed, and he was only allowed to play after bandaging on the sidelines.

Although Manchester United still did not break Hoffenheim's goal, but Hoffenheim's situation was more tense, Rangnick quickly sent Stref to the field, Rangnick did not dare to move the midfield, he replaced Saviola with Strelve, using Strelve's skills and speed to create opportunities for Vanney, and Manchester United's players must not be familiar with Stref, and the youngster's is likely to play a surprise effect.

By the 75th minute, the atmosphere of the game was even more tense, and at this time the goal could basically pronounce the opponent a death sentence, Hoffenheim they only need to score one goal, Manchester United must score two goals, which is almost impossible, but with Manchester United's current strength and advantage, after they scored, Hoffenheim wanted to equalize is also difficult to go to the sky.

On the field, Timoshchuk's blood-stained robe made the game even more tragic, the shouts and applause of the fans in the stands were full of anger, and the mood was very uneasy, some fans began to shout and curse the opponent's fans to relieve the pressure, some fans threw debris at the opponent's fans, and some were timid to look away from time to time when the opponent was attacking, and they didn't dare to look at it anymore.

The expressions of the two referees on the sidelines also became grim, Rangnick pursed his lips tightly, Ferguson's gum chewed faster, and his eyes turned with the ball.

It's the silence before the storm!

It's the darkness before dawn!

All roads lead to Rome, but there is only one place alive to go to the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

People are focusing on the two stars, Ronaldo and Li Huan, at such a moment, it is the time for superstars to show their talents, and it is the time for them to show their differences from ordinary stars.

At this time, even the world's top stars such as Ruud van Nistelrooy and Wayne Rooney were ignored, and only these two people were in everyone's eyes.

Ronaldo has a scoring advantage over Li Huan, Manchester United occupies the offensive and can help his teammates a lot, he has unlimited power to fire at Manchester United, as long as he wants to shoot, he can shoot, as long as he wants the ball, his teammates will satisfy him.

And Li Huan, Li Huan is now tired of running for his life, suddenly to the left and then to the right, looking ahead, Gu Yan behind, but he does not have the chic of Ling Bo's microstep, but is as anxious as a firefighter, busy checking and filling in the gaps.

However, football is round.

With 79 minutes played, United launched a complex attack, creating four chances in quick succession on the edge of the box, but they were either cleared by Hoffenheim's defenders or saved by the goalkeeper, and when Hoffenheim's defenders and goalkeepers were powerless, the post blocked Cristiano Ronaldo's shot.

Looking at the window paper away from the goal, Manchester United's players lost their vigilance and pressed the formation very forward, wanting to increase the chances of getting the ball and passing the ball to the box faster and more accurately.

But it was also the most dangerous time to see when it was about to succeed, when Carrick hoisted the ball into the box and Hoffenheim's clearance in the box was in chaos. Suddenly, a long figure in the penalty area rose high and pushed the ball out, and then this figure rushed out of the crowd like a tiger out of the mountain, so fast that the dashing brother closest to this figure did not react in time.

Berbatov is the player who has the best chance of fouling Li Huan, but he was stunned, so he let Li Huan go, and when he wanted to chase again, it would only be a dream, just at the same speed as he walked, unless Li Huan ran back and forth.

Carrick also made a wrong judgment, he didn't rush over to intercept Li Huan, but ran towards the ball, maybe he felt that he was close to the ball and could get it first, but he forgot that Li Huan had already started, and he had just started.

When Carrick started to speed up, Li Huan had already pushed the ball over the head of Fletcher, who pounced, and Fletcher knew that something was wrong, so he went directly to Li Huan, wanting to commit a foul in Hoffenheim's half, even if he sent a free kick and a yellow card, he must not let Li Huan pass.

But Li Huan didn't entangle him, when the header passed the top of Fletcher, Li Huan calculated his steps, quickly bypassed Fletcher's side, caught up with the ball, Li Huan unexpectedly put the ball to the right side, avoided the two central defenders Ferdinand and Vidic in the middle, and swept to Manchester United's half from the side.

At this moment, no one has the heart to consider why Li Huan didn't take the nearest middle to cooperate with his teammates, but took the side, and all his thoughts converged on one point, that is, can this goal be scored?

Nearly 80,000 pairs of eyes in the audience were rotating with Li Huan's wind-like body, and the sound of breathing was held up at the moment when Li Huan burst out of the crowd, the applause was gone, the shouts disappeared, the waving palms did not move, and only the heavy heartbeat remained at Old Trafford.

All the Manchester United players in the stadium are running with Li Huan, and Ronaldo is also desperately chasing Li Huan when he walks to the side, and the Portuguese hopes that he can put on his wings, catch up with the terrifying guy in front, and then kick him down, and finally kick him forever.

No one can catch up with Li Huan!

After Li Huan brought it to the right side of the penalty area at a very fast speed, he neither looked at the teammates who responded nor looked at the defenders who returned to the defense, and also ignored the goalkeeper Van der Sar, who blocked the near corner, and pulled up his right foot with great confidence and slammed it towards the goal.

Without any interference from anyone, Li Huan pulled out his most proud outer instep so far. The ball circled in an S shape like a dragon in the air, and then flew into the upper right corner of the goal like lightning and thunder.

What is the use of a goalkeeper at this moment? What is a defender for? What's the use of the 11 players in the whole game, I can only watch Li Huan burst through the door of Manchester United with one shot. The hearty kick was like a sharp sword into the chest of the Red Devils, and the defending champions fell to the ground.

Van der Sar, who had never had any chance to touch the ball, also fell to the ground in an instant, but the time he fell to the ground was after the ball flew into the net.

"Goal" The last syllable of the on-site narrator dragged with a crying voice, "3:2." Li Huan's hat-trick, Li Huan scored a hat-trick at the Theater of Dreams, he is the fifth person to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford, and the second foreigner, he is a foreigner who came to earth today, and it is God who wears the jersey of the Chinese......"

Hoffenheim fans did not have a single person to sit, they all jumped up and waved their arms to applaud Li Huan, surprisingly more than 70,000 Manchester United fans also stood up, they did not shout, just like the Hoffenheim fans just stood up to applaud Giggs, the Red Devils fans are also paying tribute to the Hoffenheim idol, to be able to score a hat-trick in this stadium is always respectable, not to mention that this defender is the second time to score a hat-trick against Manchester United.

Ronaldo drooped his head like a defeated rooster.

Rooney was furious and kept kicking the air.

Van der Sar fell to his knees and said nothing.

Giggs had an extremely embarrassed expression on his face, and after 800 professional matches, he actually came up to watch the other party's performance.

Ferguson covered his head, he couldn't believe it was true, he didn't want to believe it, even if he was as confident and brave as Ferguson, he was in despair, there was once a player who made the lord so sad, he didn't think that he would have to go through it a second time, and this time the injury was more serious, and it could be more painful.

Rangnick excitedly rushed to Li Huan's side who ran to the front of the stands, hugged Li Huan's back tightly, and said incoherently: "Li! Thank you, thank you, Hoffenheim thank you. ”

The two commentators of the court station fell into a state of madness again, "Li Huan conquered the Old Trafford stadium, his performance in this game will make the Old Trafford fans unforgettable for life, they will even ignore the performance of the whole Hoffenheim team because of Li Huan's solo show, Li Huan is like this, his light can overshadow everyone, at this moment, who will think of Ronaldo, who will think of Rooney, Ferguson, Ruud van Nistelroo...... It's a blessing to live in the same era as a player like that, but it's also a sadness...... Forever can only fight for the sorrow of living in the shadows...... Li Huan, he is the pride of Chinese, they are the pride of Asia, and he is the pride of the world's fans......"

Beckham in the South Stand let out a long sigh and stood up to leave, but after thinking about it, he still stayed, and he was not willing to be eliminated by Manchester United. He still has a glimmer of hope, because 10 years ago they scored two goals in three minutes against another German side, Bayern, and it was he who turned the game around.

In the VIP box, Glazer's face was a little ugly, ugly, he knew that he was very likely to lose, at the hands of a defender, of course today he played in the back. He had heard that Manchester United scored two goals in stoppage time, and he knew that Manchester United had more blood, but he was frightened by this Chinese defender, and his feeling at the moment was that Manchester United might score, but this young man broke out and might also score, and this premonition was very clear, and it made him desperate.

Hoppe, who was jumping up and cheering like a child, of course didn't have the time and mood to comfort the Glazers, Hope was looking for someone to share the happiness with, if the person around him was not Glazer, he would definitely be dancing here with each other, he also clearly felt that Hoffenheim might be in the final, the Champions League final, what he never dreamed of, is about to become a reality, only ten minutes, ten minutes later, they will be able to get a ticket to Rome.
