Volume 2 The Miracle of Huo Village Chapter 372 Lightning Strike
At 7:39 p.m. European time on May 5, the eyes of fans around the world began to focus on the European Theater of Dreams - Old Trafford, 15 minutes later, QUANbEn,
Red, the red seats in the stands, the red jerseys, the red flags and scarves, the whole Old Trafford stadium is like a sea of blood, there is a small group of fans in blue in the red place, they are the away team Hoffenheim, the game has not yet started, the fans in the south stand have already habitually begun to scold, behind them is the statue of Sir Busby, he is on his right hand, holding the ball in his left hand, staring ahead, as if silently praying for the Red Devils.
Many of Hoffenheim's fans are Chinese in the UK, these are led by Liu Yang and Peng Xiaolang, over the years, because of Li Huan's relationship, Liu Yang has become well-known in the Chinese fan community, and often takes on the task of organizing activities. Liu Yang, who has always been a little tired, has a serious expression today, he has never been so heavy as he is today when watching football over the years, and the expressions of the Hoffenheim fans around him are very similar to him, and everyone is worried about Hoffenheim's future.
Off the pitch, between the home and away fans, the security guards and the explosion-proof police have nervous expressions, as if they are facing a big enemy, they have received orders, the emotions of the fans in this game are likely to be extremely nervous, they must be ready to fight, and there can be no accidents, the Old Trafford stadium has always been a good law and order, and there are few police officers in normal times, and today it is the mayor who ordered the emergency police to be dispatched.
The fans had already occupied the stadium one hour earlier, only the big names were late at this time, and there was a commotion in the stands when the commentator was introducing the situation of both sides of the game, and then the telephoto lens was pointed at the South Stand, it turned out that Beckham arrived to watch Manchester United's knockout game, Beckham did not play in midweek, he came here to support his former team-mate, Beckham has a private box at Old Trafford, but he still chose to be in the stands with the Red Devils fans.
Less than two minutes after Becky's arrival, Manchester United owner Glazer and Hoffenheim owner Hope also arrived at the stadium, although the two rich men have very similar personalities, but their common love of sports makes them have a common topic, and the two men talked about the development of the club while walking to the box.
The commentators of the imperial court station had already begun to warm up for this game half an hour ago, and the hosts Tao Wei and Duan Xuan got up from the quilt early, and they were preparing for the commentary of this game in suits and leather shoes, they obviously also made preparations for fine-, Β°C, and the materials of each player were collected very neatly, and our teacher Duan actually prepared some jokes about the two teams to relieve the tense atmosphere.
"Manchester United have already set a record in the Premier League, reaching the last four of the Champions League three years in a row, and now they will become the first defending champions to reach the final since Juventus in LQQ6/Q7 if they can beat Hoffenheim. It was also the second Champions League game, and United had never been defeated in a previous disgrace match. It's an astonishing result, and the Reds are now definitely the strongest team in Europe. Duan Xuan praised Manchester United's previous achievements with admiration.
Tao Wei said: "Compared with Manchester United, Hoffenheim's results are not inferior at all, since last season's defeat to Zenit St. Petersburg in the group stage of the UEFA Cup, Hoffenheim has never failed, and Hoffenheim has just won the championship four rounds in the league, and only Manchester United can compare with the good form." β
Tao Wei said with a smile: "Whoever enters the final of the two teams will make history, and there are three highlights in this game, one is whether Li Huan can score another goal and create a single-season goal record in the Champions League, after Li Huan has equaled the ball record of Italian Milan striker Koyi Tafini." In addition, if the veteran Ryan Giggs plays, this will be his first professional game, this is a great number, the Welshman is simply a living fossil in football, the last game Giggs was pressed by the Lord, at home the Lord should let him play. The other is whether there will be an Asian derby between Lee Huan and Park Ji-sung on the field, which is also the news that has been hyped up by the Chinese and South Korean media recently. Judging from the pre-match media disclosures, the possibility of Park Ji-sung playing is not, 1\
At this time, there were enthusiastic cheers on the field, and it turned out that the players from both sides came out of the locker room. Duan Xuan also got the lineups of both sides, "The game is about to start, now let's take a look at the lineups of both sides:
Manchester United's starting lineup is still attacking 3_3: No. 1 goalkeeper Van der Sar, four defenders are No. 3 Evra, No. 5 Ferdinand, No. 15 Vidic, No. 22 O'Shea, three midfielders are No. 8 Anderson, No. 17 Carrick, and No. $ Fletcher, and the three forwards are No. 13 Park Ji-sung, No. 7 Ronaldo, and No. 10 Rooney ββ0ββ0
Reading this, Duan Xuan looked very surprised, and said: "Park Ji-sung really played, and today Asian fans are fortunate to be able to witness the contest between two of the best Asian players, their jerseys are all in the first game, and Manchester United's starting line-up was replaced by Park Ji-sung." Tevez didn't defend against Li Huan in the last game, and today he was replaced by Park Ji-sung. It seems that the lord has great expectations for Park Sanlung. β
Tao Wei introduced Hoffenheim's starting lineup: "Hoffenheim's starting lineup is goalkeeper Hildebrand, four defenders. 0...... "Huh! No, it's five defenders, no, there are two right-backs, Li Huan and Baker are on it, Baker must be a right-back, but where will Li Huan appear, right forward? Let's take a look at the other positions, the defenders should be Baker, Compaq, Simunich, Ibetsberg. The midfielders are Tymoshchuk, Arshavin, Li Huan, and Sarihovic, and the forwards are Ruud van Nistelrooy and Saviola.
From this point of view, Li Huan should be the right forward. It was a very unexpected change, but from the last round of the league - Wolfsburg, it was a premeditated adjustment. β
Not only did the commentator think so, but Ferguson, who was standing on the sidelines, saw Hoffenheim on Baker, and also thought that Li Huan was likely to be promoted to the right midfield position, which Li Huan had played in the first round when Hoffenheim dog jumped over the wall in a hurry. This did not come as a surprise to Ferguson, who had long been prepared for such a change at Hoffenheim.
Ferguson looked at Rangnick's unpredictable appearance, and couldn't help but laugh to himself, saying in his heart that I have played in the Champions League more leagues than you have played, and you still want to play with me, you are looking ugly. But when the players stood up, everyone was stunned, because Li Huan stood on one
In a position where he has never appeared, Li Huan today actually played in the back. Tao Wei, who is still commenting on the Bundesliga, knows Hoffenheim better, he sighed for a while, and said: "Li Huan has never played this position, in the German Cup two years ago, Li Huan once came off the bench to play in the back, because that time Li Huan played without Rangnick's consent, so I was a little impressed, it seems that Li Huan played well." β
Duan Xuan said: "Tao Wei, when you say this, I am also a little impressed, what does Rangnick mean by putting Li Huan in the position of the back waist, is he going to let Li Huan attack or defend?" β
Tao faked: "It should be an attack, Li Huan is fast to attack from the back position more directly than the fullback, and he comes back to defend quickly, which is equivalent to Hoffen Lianmu having two midfielders, one attacking and one defending." β
Hoffenheim was the first to kick off, after Saviola and Ruud van Nistelrooy passed the ball back, Manchester United's three forwards quickly pressed through the half, Anderson and two fullbacks O'Shea and Evra also pressed forward, but Carrick and Fletcher in the middle did not move, although Manchester United did not consider Li Huan playing back before the game, and did not know how to defend against it, but the experienced Red Devils still cautiously left heavy defense in the middle.
When the ball was passed back to Li Huan's feet, Luo, who served as the center forward, also rushed to Li Huan's side, facing a superstar like Luo, or at the front of his penalty area, Li Huan was not panicked, he made a backward turn, as if he was going to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, but Li Huan's body was only half turned, and when Luo was attracted to the side of his body, he suddenly turned in place and left Luo behind. Li Huan quickly dribbled a few steps forward, and when he saw Anderson coming up, he looked up and swept the front court, and as soon as he raised his foot, he passed to the right side to find Baker, and Baker immediately drove forward along the side with the ball.
Evra didn't think too much of Baker, and when he saw that Baker dared to press the prison and call for himself, he immediately rushed over to cut off Baker's ball, but Baker handled the ball very smartly, and saw Evra come up and knock the ball to Arshavin in the middle, and then ran forward and played a wall double with Arshavin
Evra's carelessness was actually rushed by Baker from his side, he was angry in his heart, and chased after Baker, but although Baker's speed couldn't keep up with Li Huan, it was by no means slow, and Evra couldn't catch up with him.
Carrick in the middle saw that Evra's wing was tight, and immediately supported the wing and intercepted Beck, who was inserted at high speed on the wing.
Baker was very clever and decisive with the ball, and seeing that it was difficult to break Carrick's interception with the ball, he passed the ball to Arshavin again and wanted to continue to play a wall game.
But United's players had just been done by him once, and how could they get it again this time, Patrice Evra intercepted in front of Arshavin and Carrick chased after Baker. So that two people can't afford to cooperate.
Arshavin saw that it was impossible to pass to Baker and make a cross from the bottom, and then seeing that Li Huan had already inserted it into the middle circle, he immediately passed it to Li Huan, but Arshavin did not pass it to Li Huan's feet, but passed diagonally to about five meters in front of Li Huan. Arshavin passed the knock on the benefit, Li Huan didn't need to adjust the pace at all if he wanted to get the ball.
At this moment, all the cameras were aimed at Li Huan, Anderson also ran towards Li Huan from one side, Luo from behind, and Carrick from the front, they surrounded Li Huan, and they must not let Li Huan rush to the thirty-meter dangerous area with the ball.
At this time, no one thought that Li Huan was going to shoot, because the ball was still about fifty meters away from the goal. When Li Huan ran ahead, there was no sign of shooting.
But no one saw that Li Huan's left foot had run past the side of the ball, which was obviously a preparatory action for shooting, but Li Huan did it very faintly and didn't notice it.
It wasn't until Li Huan's right leg wheel was high, like a strong bow that he pulled out, that goalkeeper Van der Sar had a premonition, but at this time he had already seen the strange arc drawn by the ball in the air, followed by a whining whistle.
When Van der Sar reacted, it was too late to run backwards towards the goal, due to panic, Van der Sar also fell on his back on the turf, at the moment of falling, Van der Sar's brain was blank, he even closed his eyes, not daring to watch the football fly into the gate he guarded, at the moment his mind only had one thought, why did this kid choose to shoot? Why......
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned by Li Huan's earth-shattering blow. Time seemed to stand still, everyone was dumbfounded in disbelief that the 76,000-seat Old Trafford stadium was so quiet that you could even hear each other's heartbeats. Li Huan roared frantically and ran to the front of the away team's stands, waving his fist at the fans. β²GALGALGALGaL..............."""γLee! Plum! L: The race was just 57 seconds underway...... Li Huan scored......
After a brief dead silence, the visitors' stands suddenly exploded. Cheers, whistles, shouts "Cheers, a myriad of voices mingled. But this still couldn't vent the joy and happiness in the hearts of the fans, and when they didn't shout enough, they danced, jumped and jumped, and then rhythmically shouted the name of their hero "Li Huan!" Li Huan! Li Huan! β
Ferguson was completely stunned, he didn't expect Hoffenheim to score in less than a minute, he, who has been teaching for more than 20 years, was dizzy, his brain was blank, and the good shape before the game immediately changed in a minute. How could this be acceptable to the old knight.
Ferguson's mouth was wide open, ignoring the chewing gum falling to the ground, and just muttered: "S more than 50 meters!" He just shot...... He actually shot at goal.
Rannick was so excited that he took off his suit and waved it hard, and the two assistant coaches rushed over from behind and hugged him tightly, shouting "We're ahead!" We're ahead! β
In the VIP box, Magsim. Glazer's cup fell to the ground at once, this miser, this miser who can sue for ruthenium and his sister, Huo De, stood up and said to Hope: "How much is this Chinese, you can make a price, I will buy as much as I want." β
Hope also stood up in a fluctuating manner, and after listening to Glazer's words, he flatly refused without thinking about it: "Magsim, even if you fill the dollar with a Boeing, I won't sell it to you." β
