*****

Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney stood in the arc of their own half, looking at each other, and they could see a hint of despair in each other's eyes!

As the cheers in the stands grew louder and louder, Cristiano Ronaldo's fists clenched tighter and tighter, he refused to just accept his fate, the game could be lost! But you can't lose so much!!

He knew that the number of the jersey on him was an honor!

The legendary Manchester United No.7!!

In particular, this match was recognized by the European mainstream media as the best young talent competition in Europe this year, so he didn't want to admit defeat even more.

The last game was won at home, so this game will be won away from home as well!!

Rooney naturally also saw the changes in Cristiano Ronaldo, the two have been friends for nearly two years, and they know each other's tempers quite well, and they are both players who refuse to admit defeat!

He knew that Cristiano Ronaldo was secretly a person who wanted to surpass Iro, and he knew it from the seriousness of his usual training.

From the previous free kick training to the current gym, every time you do the highest load of the body to stop, how much perseverance does it take?

In the end, he also came to the conclusion that he couldn't lose!

*****

Counting the kick-off at the beginning of the first half, this was Cristiano Ronaldo's third kick-off in the first half, so he held his breath!

Be sure to score a goal for the rest of the first half and then the trouble will be left for the Valencians!

But his thoughts are clearly a bit overthinking, and now the thinking of the front and back of the field is not uniform, the defenders at the back want not to concede any more goals, and the players in the forward line want to score a goal to regain the disadvantage on the field.

The lack of unity of thought on the pitch almost allowed Valencia to seize the opportunity to score another goal, but Rio Ferdinand was in a crucial position at the crucial moment to deny Elo's must-score chance in the box.

Missing the perfect opportunity, Iroh clutched his head in pain, and it took a while for him to come to his senses.

If that goal had just scored, Valencia would have been at least invincible in this game!

With Elo's must-have goal disrupted by Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United's players are increasingly defensive in their thinking, so Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney are gradually falling into a one-man battle.

Standing on the sidelines, Ferguson has yelled at the players on the field more than once or twice, but the effect is not very great.

At last...... He simply sat in the coach's seat.

Fortunately, United's defence was very focused during this time, and it seems that those two goals conceded hit them hard.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the first half.

With the referee's whistle, the first half of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final was declared over.

*****

The fifteen-minute break at halftime passed quickly.

During this time, both the fans in the stands and the commentators in the studio were commenting on the performances of both sides of the game in the first half.

Valencia's table in the first half was widely recognized.

At the same time, he also expressed his surprise at Manchester United's first-half table, and the team coached by Alex Ferguson has always been known for its stability!

Although Manchester United are still behind Chelsea in the league table this season, they are not very far behind, and it is worth mentioning that both teams and the third-placed team have opened up double-digit points difference.

That's enough to see what makes this Manchester United team terrifying.

But the performance of this game was a big surprise.

However, after the second half, Manchester United seemed to be back to normal, both defensively and offensively, and did not have the impatience of the first half.

It seems that at halftime, Ferguson's hair dryer changed his hairstyle.

In the second half, Valencia took advantage of the tee shot and continued to control the tempo of the field, but ...... Does Manchester United allow it?

no！！

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the pace of the Premier League is the fastest in the world.

Super physical confrontation, non-stop accelerating back and forth, every player's nerves are tense, and they dare not relax in the slightest, which is the case with Manchester United now.

Because there is no way back for Manchester United now, if the game is finished according to this scoreline, Manchester United will be eliminated by the disadvantage of away goals!

Even if there will be a direct clash with Jose Mourinho's Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this weekend!

The whole team did not hesitate to run, so that the rhythm on the field suddenly accelerated, and the pace of acceleration also forced Valencia's passing speed to speed up, but the speed of passing will inevitably make the success rate of the pass quickly decrease.

You must know that Barcelona's players will also make frequent mistakes under Chelsea's frantic pressing, not to mention Valencia, whose passing ability is not as good as Barcelona's?

*****

"In the second half, Manchester United suddenly increased the pace of the game, and indirectly caused the home team's pass success rate to decrease rapidly, if Flores can't find a way to deal with it, then this game will be suspenseful again, Manchester United is the team that has won the most Premier League titles in the history of the Premier League, and they are obviously much more adaptable than Valencia in this super fast pace of the game, so ......"

Huang Jianxiang watched the development of the situation on the field and explained worriedly.

In fact, Flores is also worried, the pace of La Liga is far less fast than the process of the Premier League, La Liga pays attention to the combination of fast and slow, more time is used for passing and control, and from a survey of "French Football" last year, the Premier League is the fastest paced league in the world, there is no one.

Manchester United is going to use the fast pace to break Valencia!

Looking at the situation on the field, Ferguson showed a rare smile after the start of this game.

The director of the Mestalla Stadium had a vicious eye, and he just caught this moment.

Sir Alex Ferguson's smile has not been seen for a long time, it seems that this game should not be a big problem, as long as Manchester United score a goal in this game, then this game will be over! If the home side want to progress, they will need to score two goals in a row, but they will have to watch out for Manchester United goals in the meantime......

Sky TV commentators explained.

*****

It had been about 20 minutes since the start of the second half, and the pace of the pitch was still so fast, and the home team Valencia players had been holding on to such a fast-paced game for so long, but fortunately they did not allow United to score a goal, but the price paid was three yellow cards and frequent mistakes.

Coupled with the fact that goalkeeper Canizares was in great form today, saving at least two of United's must-have goals in that time, one of which was a solo effort by Cristiano Ronaldo.

By this time, seeing that the team had not scored for a long time, and Ferguson was no longer as relaxed as he had at the beginning of the second half, and failed to score two goals in a row, it was bound to affect the mentality of the players.

Indeed it is.

When they failed to score twice, they became impatient.

Instead of attacking in an orderly manner like at the start of the second half, it became more direct.

Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo are already trying to shoot from distance.

Iroh breathed a sigh of relief that the team hadn't conceded a goal in a fast-paced game, which put him in a good mood.

In fact, during this time, he also had a few corner kick opportunities to come back as a central defender, not to mention how aggrieved the feeling was, the continuous pressure made his nerves tense all the time, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

With his status in the team has improved, with a sense of responsibility comes with it, so he willingly returned to his own penalty area in this game and participated in his own defense.

Flores subconsciously shook her head.

Although Ielloh's active defense brought intangible help to the team, it also slowed down the team's counterattack, and it was still a bit difficult to rely on Vicente and David Villa alone.

The combination of speed and technique between the two of them is not as perfect as that of Iro, and it is inevitable that the speed will be reduced when counterattacking with the ball, but Iroh is different, he gives people the feeling that it has no effect......

Whoop -

At that moment, there was an exclamation from the stands.

Flores' thoughts were interrupted, and his attention returned to the court.

*****

Before we knew it, it was the 80th minute of the game, and seeing that the game time was running out, Manchester United's attacking players became more impatient, and this impatience also made them more direct.

Frequent long-range shots and low crosses wasted a lot of chances.

Ferguson also replaced Park Ji-sung with Saha to strengthen the attacking number in the front.

And this time, as usual, Ryan Giggs dribbled the ball down the left and then glanced at the box, where Cristiano Ronaldo, Saha and Wayne Rooney all rushed into the box to grab the spot.

Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly stopped and flickered under Marchena's close defence, and then ran towards the penalty spot before the latter could react, just then Giggs' cross arrived.

Marchena had just reacted and was about to defend, but his path was blocked by someone, and his forward body froze.

At the same time, a cross from the left also flew in and Marchena lost his best chance to defend and could only stand in place and watch Cristiano Ronaldo leap high unmarked.

The home fans in the stands held their breath as the United number seven jumped high unmarked, ...... is a very red flag!

Even Iro, who was standing at the edge of the box, could see Cristiano Ronaldo's focused expression after he jumped, and his eyes were only football.

Twist your waist and shake your head, a standard lion shake your head!

The ball changes direction and flies straight to the top right corner of the goal,

Canizares' head spun in the same direction as the football, but his feet felt as if they were pinned to the ground.

At this moment, it was as if the air had frozen, making it impossible to breathe.

There were already some fans in the stands who were dragging their hair with their hands or closing their eyes, as if they didn't want to watch the next qiē.

But there are also some fans who are praying to God: Don't go in!

Because this goal is scored, then the victory will be in favor of the away team Manchester United.

An excited Ferguson was already clenching his fists and raising them in the air, as if to celebrate the goal.

But will this goal be scored?
