Volume 2 The Miracle of Huo Village Chapter 376 Stalemate
Manchester United came out of the dressing room again in a state of extreme excitement, as if they had been doped, and one by one they were eager to try and want the game to start immediately, so that they could tear Hoffenheim to shreds.
The spirit of the Hoffenheim players who came out afterwards was not bad, they were firm and confident, and Li Huan's goal at the last moment gave the Hoffenheim players confidence and courage, and the feeling of slaughtering Manchester United 5:1 was found again, and now they want to score again, seal the win, and make the Red Devils completely desperate.
The commentator of the imperial court station also knows a little about Ferguson's hair dryer, and he can't help but be overjoyed when he sees Manchester United's mental state, Duan Xuan said: "From the mental point of view of the players on both sides, although the second half is not necessarily more exciting than the first half, it will certainly not be dull, we hope to have more goals, of course, we will also have exquisite prizes for every goal scored." ”
When the fans in front of the TV heard this, they immediately turned the TV to silent mode speechlessly.
The fierce collision began in the first minute, with United fighting for life and death, for honour, for the fierceness of 25 games unbeaten in the Champions League, and for their future. In front of the more than 70,000 fans in the stadium, they couldn't be a loser.
Hoffenheim's players struggled to get the lead, they wanted to do a miracle, they wanted to be written into history, and that win** was even stronger in the boos of more than 70,000 United fans in attendance.
No one is conservative, no one dares to be conservative, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, there are still 45 minutes, only 45 minutes, this is the 45 minutes that determine the fate of both sides, the thoughts of the 22 people on the scene are almost the same, that is, after fighting these 45 minutes, even if the leg is broken and the arm is broken, even if it is tired and vomiting blood, they have no regrets.
The pace of attack and defense was surprisingly fast, Manchester United had just completed a cross on the wing of Hoffenheim, and Li Huan's long ball over there reached the Manchester United penalty area. Here Ronaldo raised his foot to hit a 0 long-range shot, and there Ruud van Nistelrooy returned a headbutt. Whether the ball is in the air or on the ground, it moves at an astonishing speed.
The fans on both sides forgot to cheer, their hands just clapped mechanically, and their eyes stared at the roll or fly of the ball on the field without blinking, at this moment they had no time to care about the compound eyes like flies, and could only stare at the ball, and the person holding the ball, for fear of missing a wonderful detail.
The game was heated from the start, which was unimaginable to everyone, and the commentators didn't have the energy to comment, and even the commentators from our court station gave up on the wordiness and didn't repeat the "X got the ball, X passed, X shot saved." The boring commentary. Just a brief comment on the short time of the dead ball.
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the middle, this time he did not deliberately avoid Li Huan as he did in the final stages of the first half, and the Portuguese playboy finally dared to face a strong opponent and dare to face a difficult challenge. When Manchester United was in possession of the ball, Ronaldo inserted into the penalty area to grab points, or break through with the ball, or shoot from a distance, even if the ball was cut off by Li Huan, he also fought back again. When Hoffenheim controlled the ball, Ronaldo turned into a defender again, following Li Huan closely, so that Li Huan couldn't fight back.
The little fat Rooney was like a mad tiger on the wing, constantly tearing at Ibertsberg's left side, and Sarichovic had to drop back and drop back to protect the left-back position.
There was also a fierce exchange of fire between Evra and young right-back Baker, although Baker was young, but his fighting spirit and speed were not inferior to Evra, and he was full of courage, and Evra did not know his technical characteristics very well, and for a while, Evra could not take advantage of Baker.
Manchester United has the upper hand, at this time it is even more important and successful for Li Huan in the back position, the first time to play this position, but Li Huan's scheduling, defense, taking the ball, with the ability to pass the ball with incomparable accuracy, Li Huan alone controlled Hoffenheim's offensive rhythm, fast to fast, slow to slow, once Manchester United's middle left empty, he will immediately use a strong personal ability to quickly rush forward, like a sharp sword piercing tofu, stabbing Manchester United's heart.
The two head coaches are standing on the sidelines, at this moment both of them closed their mouths tightly, no one shouted again, because shouting is also in vain, now the players on the field have reached a state of selflessness, can not hear and can not see the influence of the outside world, the two coaches even think that the players on the field can not even hear the applause of the fans, at this moment it is not the coach who determines the victory, it is completely the play of the players on the field.
Manchester United's players have been running together for several years, and their individual skills are very strong, and the cooperation between them is more fluent, familiar and fast than Hoffenheim, but Hoffenheim is on the defensive, and most of the personnel are in their own half, and the slight disadvantage in technology cannot be shown. United's continued attacking efforts were unable to break down Hoffenheim's goal, and the game was tight but goalless.
In the 55th minute of the second half, Manchester United played a wonderful combination in the front of the Hoffenheim penalty area, Carrick stepped forward with the ball, Timoshchuk went up to intercept, Carrick passed the ball to the side to find Xiaofat, Rooney took the ball to the bottom line, saw that there was no chance to pass the ball and turned and brought it back. The little fat man was strong, Sarihovic squeezed hard and didn't leave the ball, he was cut to the middle by Rooney, Li Huan boldly made a diagonal tackle and shoveled the ball to the midfield, the ball was got by Fletcher again, Fletcher rushed to the front of the penalty area and shot vigorously, the ball hit Compaq's body and bounced out, Ronaldo followed and shot again, and the ball was blocked by Li Huan's outstretched foot.
When the ball finally fell to Evra's feet, Hoffenheim's front of the penalty area was already in chaos, Evra cut inside, Baker was inexperienced, in such a chaotic time, lost his caution, quickly stretched out his feet to intercept, Evra took the opportunity to quickly cross the bottom.
At this time, there were two figures rushing from the front of the penalty area to the penalty area to grab points, both of them were very fast, one was Li Huan, the other was Ronaldo, and the two of them were trying their best to compete for the position with their bodies when they were running. Both of them were in excellent health, squeezing everyone around them away, but they didn't fall.
Two people jumped up at the same time to compete for the header, that is, when they jumped, their hands were still pulling each other, so that the consequence of physical contact was that both people did not touch the ball, and the ball flew backwards.
Just when Hoffenheim fans breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the ball would fly out of the bottom line, Fletcher suddenly didn't know when to hit the left side of the penalty area, as if a god soldier had fallen from heaven, and pushed the ball into the lower left corner of Hoffenheim's goal, turning the score into 2:2.
Fletcher hit the goalpost headfirst, his mind was clouded, but he didn't care about it at all, he got up from the ground, jumped over the billboard, rushed to the stands, grabbed the guardrail and yelled at the fans, and vented his ecstasy frantically.
Ferguson finally jumped up like a child, and then ran wildly on the sidelines with open arms, so fast that it was hard to believe that this was the 67-year-old Ferguson.
Old Trafford went into a frenzy as more than 70,000 fans roared "goal!" Fletcher! Fletcher 1"
The on-site commentator shouted hoarsely, "goalgoalgoal...... Manchester United, Fletcher, the great Red Devils, they saved their fate again, Fletcher equalized the score again with a header, 2:2, although this score could not let Manchester United enter Roma, but they had the opportunity to grasp their fate, now the two sides have come to the same running line, the game will be more enthusiastic, more crazy......"
Rangnick didn't scold his mother, didn't get angry, didn't even have any expression, but when Fletcher was desperate, it was as if his own chest was thumped hard, his face and body twitched violently, and then he silently walked back to the coach's seat. It wasn't enough to send Hoffenheim to hell or heaven to United, but it was set to add another three points to United's morale and the game could have been even more brutal than he had imagined.
The fans in the stands were obviously in a state of madness, not only the United fans, but also the Hoffenheim fans, who were not only not depressed, but even more agitated and angry under the blow of the opponent's goal, all of them stood up and shouted to the Hoffenheim players in the stadium, "Kill the Red Devils!" You're good! "Long live Hoffenheim, we're going to the final!" "Don't be afraid! Our whole village is with you! ”
In the VIP box, the two rich men did not speak at the beginning, because the situation of the game was either Manchester United leading or Hoffenheim leading, and now the two sides finally reached a draw, and the two rich men finally started to talk.
Glazer said: "Hoffenheim is really good, it is really admirable to be able to build such a team in such a short period of time, if it goes public, I am afraid that the market value will increase tenfold." ”
Rangnick smiled slightly, although he didn't like the Americans' practice of putting money on their lips at any time, but Glazer's words said what he liked and was most proud of, and he said proudly: "Hehe, more than ten times, but this value is not something that money can measure, Manchester United is also very good, and there is a lot of hope of defending the title this year." ”
Glazer laughed dryly, avoided the topic of defending the title, and said: "Indeed, Li Huan alone is enough to make your earnings, and your worth has increased by at least ten times." If you're going to sell him, you're going to have to call me. ”
Hope laughed and said, "Li Huan, we won't sell it, but I'm very interested in buying Ronaldo, are you willing to sell it?" ”
Glazer was stunned for a moment, and laughed loudly: "I really want to buy Ronaldo, okay, exchange it for Li Huan, eh, I'll add another 10 million cash." ”
Hopden was stunned.
