Jonk took a deep breath, feeling his cheeks tremble with excitement, he gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth as hard as he could, and could even make a creaking sound This ball, it must go in!! Enter!!! Enter, ah, ah!!

At this time, Pacini, who rushed over, was even ignored by Jonck!!

He shouted in his heart, flicked the ball to the right with his left foot, and sank his shoulder to the right, and just as Pazzini stepped out to intercept it, Jonk smashed the ball on the spot and dodged Pazzini's up-and-forth.

"Oh God! What a genius he is! The Italian narrator crunched his teeth and shouted like a whisper.

Facing the attacking Roma goalkeeper Doni. Jonk was as calm as an iceberg at the bottom of the Antarctic sea, only to see him pull the football to the left and then buckle it. Just like that, he shook off Doni, and then with an acceleration, Jonk rushed to the goal, "Oh God, what is he going to do?!!! ”

"It's crazy!!"

The Roma fans also seemed to realize that what was going to happen, that their stadium was about to be humiliated, and the unwilling wails rang out, and the shrill boos were almost crazy.

In the midst of this overwhelming boo, Jonk gently picked the ball in front of the goal, twisted his butt, and slammed the ball into the edge of the net!!

The game went to the 86th minute!!

Jonker scores!!

Manchester United equalised!!

“！！！ The earth is trembling! The goal of the fall of the sky!!!! ”

"It was a crazy night, a crazy lad, a crazy goal!!!" ”

After seeing Jonk score. All the United players on the bench were celebrating wildly on the sidelines, with Ferguson waving his fists and roaring loudly. The footage of the Manchester United players in the stadium frantically rushing towards Jonk to play a stack of arhats in celebration became a classic picture of the 0708 European Champions Cup.

The Roma were clearly blinded by Jonck's goal and their morale was greatly affected, and in the closing stages of the game, two minutes later, Wayne Rooney was brought down by Aquilani and United were given a direct free-kick in front.

Cristiano Ronaldo takes the penalty. His free-kick fell like a rainbow on the Roma goal, and Manchester United staged a brilliant comeback 3-2.

In the final moments of the game, Jonker was still trying to find his goal at the Stadio Olimpic. Unfortunately, his luck was a little worse. In the final moments of stoppage time, Jonker hit the post with a brilliant long-range shot. Missed a goal. Missed the chance to score a hat-trick as well.

The shot of Jonker with his hands on his hips and sighing in the shrill boos of the Olympic Stadium in Rome is so appropriate.

"Roma lost 3-2 at home to Manchester United at home, which couldn't have been worse for Roma and required them to win at least two goals at Old Trafford in the second leg. to be able to reach the semi-finals. Frankly, this is an extremely difficult task. ”

"The Manchester United are almost in the semi-finals with one foot. The referee of the game, UEFA Golden Whistle Merck, will also be questioned after the game, as he erased a penalty for Manchester United and a yellow card warning for Jonker's fake fall. It will be the focus of the post-match and Jonker is suspended for accumulating yellow cards in the second leg because of this yellow card, which is perhaps the only consolation for Roma. ”

As the commentator said, at the post-match press conference. Referee Merck's decision became the focus of everyone's attention, and to be honest, in addition to erasing Manchester United's penalty and showing a yellow card to Jonker, the UEFA hand-picked golden whistle in this game is still remarkable, but this obvious mistake almost made Manchester United's efforts in this game go to waste.

Ferguson was naturally furious at Merck's decision, although Manchester United staged a lot of miracles to win against Roma, but, at the post-match press conference, Ferguson blushed and severely reprimanded Merck for law enforcement in this game, of course, referring to that decision!

"Yes, maybe only Mr. Merck saw Jonker's fake fall, what happened at that time, the game video can clearly tell us, why is Jonk so angry? When the penalty you deserve is denied and you are shown a yellow card, you will not be able to play in a vital game and you will be angrier than my players. I have to thank the lads for winning the game in very difficult circumstances. ”

'We're going to take a video of the game and then we'll report to UEFA, yes, what you want to hear, and hopefully it's fair.'

Manchester United's appeal, of course, is not only to protest to UEFA, but mainly to hope that UEFA will cancel the yellow card that Jonker was wrongfully accused of, so that Jonk will also be able to play in the next leg at home to Roma. Although Manchester United won away from home, no one can pat their chests and promise that Manchester United will definitely qualify, so if Jonk can play in this game, Manchester United will have a better chance of winning.

However, to be honest, even Manchester United club officials don't think that UEFA will cancel the yellow card for Jonker, UEFA is tantamount to admitting that there is a problem with the enforcement of this game, not to mention that the referee of this game is still UEFA's golden whistle Merck, this kind of self-slapping in the face, UEFA will not do.

However, in any case, even if there is even the slightest possibility, Manchester United will fight for it.

At the end of the game, Manchester United returned to the hotel in a bus, but everyone found that despite the brace in this game and Manchester United also won 3:2 against Roma, Jonker did not seem to be happy, he sat in his seat in silence, wearing headphones, looking out the window at the night view of Rome City, while Rooney, who was sitting next to Jonker, noticed that Jonk's mobile phone was not turned on at all.

You know, Jonk is usually very cheerful in the team, talking and laughing. Even when Manchester United sometimes loses, Jonker is relatively quick to come out of the loss, so see Jonk like this. Everyone felt that something was wrong.

As the team's second captain, the veteran Ryan Giggs comforted Jonker and said that everyone would kill Roma in the second leg and help the team advance to the semi-finals.

Jonk looked at the Welsh veteran and squeezed out a rare smile. Thank you all for your comfort.

The next day, back in Manchester, the outcome of Manchester United's appeal to UEFA was still pending. Ferguson has gotten bad news.

Jonk was found to have injured his left knee during the examination, although not very severely, however, in the last two rounds of the league. It's better not to play. Otherwise, once the injury worsens, it will be troublesome.

"It looks like it was caused by that collision with De Rossi." Team doctor Jerfis said.

It was towards the end of the game when Jonker and De Rossi grabbed the ball at the same time and the two collided together. Jonk didn't think anything was wrong at the time, but he was back in Manchester and the next day at the training ground. Less than five minutes into practice, Junk felt something was wrong. I took the initiative to find the team doctor for an examination.

"Hell, damn the Romans." Ferguson frowned, now the league has entered the final stage, plus the Champions Cup, Manchester United in this last moment, almost every week two games, at this time, Jonker injury, for the team, is definitely a big loss, but fortunately, at most only need two weeks of rest.

On 6 April, ahead of Manchester United's away game against Middlesbrough, Manchester United received a UEFA response to their complaint, arguing that there were no obvious problems with referee Merck's enforcement of the match against Roma away.

Since there is no obvious problem, the yellow card on Jonker cannot be canceled.

Ferguson listened to the yelling in the office, "What do you mean that there is no obvious problem?" Such an obvious miscalculation, is it not obvious? These guys just don't want to see Manchester United advance. ”

Manchester United assistant coach Ben Rhodes subconsciously looked at the door, you know, if Ferguson's words are spread, what awaits Ferguson and Manchester United is definitely a heavy penalty from UEFA.

However, UEFA replied, although unfair, but it is the same for Manchester United. The unexpected "surprise" has now been checked out that Jonker has a left knee injury, and even if the game is not suspended, Ferguson will not put Jonk at home against Roma!

Now, since UEFA insists on not canceling Jonker's yellow card. Jonker will be automatically suspended for one round, so it is just right to wash the yellow card on Jonker, if Manchester United can enter the semi-finals, Jonker, who does not have a yellow card, is even more reassuring to Ferguson.

Of course, although this situation is more beneficial to Manchester United today, it is impossible to suppress Ferguson's anger, after all, it is a fact that he suffered a big loss on the road.

Schalke 04 at home Barcelona; Roma home Manchester United; Arsenal home to Liverpool; Fenerbahce at home to Chelsea; The results of the first leg of the Champions Cup quarters are out. Manchester United and Barcelona are the favourites on the prospects of progressing to the semi-finals, while Chelsea surprisingly trailed Fenerbahce 1-2 in Turkey, but given the quality of both teams, Chelsea have a chance of progressing to the semi-finals.

Arsenal and Liverpool draw!

So, it's possible that this is also a scenario. That is the winner of Liverpool and Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, the three teams from the Premier League, encircling Barcelona from La Liga or Schalke 04 from the Bundesliga.

'Obviously, the three Premier League teams have a good chance of qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals, and UEFA will try to avoid a Champions League final between the two Premier League teams, and they don't want to see the Premier League side take the Big Ears Cup without any suspense. However, Manchester United's performance at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome was exciting enough, as the strongest opponent of the three Premier League teams, they met the old rival Roma team, and did not let UEFA see a satisfactory result, of course, Barcelona will also block Manchester United's desire to move forward, and the journey behind is even more difficult for Manchester United! ”

The opinion piece bluntly pointed out the unfair treatment of Manchester United at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

The deeper reason is that UEFA absolutely does not want to see three-quarters of the Champions League semi-finals taken up by Premier League teams this season, so it will also create some obstacles for Premier League teams. This would explain why it has always had a low status in UEFA. The Roma team, which grandpa doesn't love and grandma doesn't love, will be inexplicably taken care of by the referee in the game.

However, to UEFA's surprise, Manchester United showed unusually tenacity in the match against Roma. To be able to complete the comeback away from home, this is not to think that the obstacle can stop it.

In the 33rd round, Manchester United played away against Middlesbrough.

Manchester United's forward partners in this game are Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez, but perhaps the reason why the two have not partnered many times is rare, and the wonderful cooperation between the two is rare, you know, under normal circumstances. Jonk is the one of the strikers who can't be beaten. Rooney and Tevez take turns as a partner for Jork, and even when three shooters are on the pitch at the same time, Jork can be the "lubricant" between Tevez and Rooney. Therefore, this time Tevez and Rooney partnered, it seems that the tacit understanding is not enough.

The final game, at home to Middlesbrough. Manchester United struggled to walk away with one point. Perhaps it was the hard work of the game against Roma three days ago that drained Manchester United's body, and the whole game, Manchester United were not excited enough, and Tevez and Rooney did not have too good chances up front, but Middlesbrough played aggressively and always took the lead.

The only thing that was normal for the Reds was Cristiano Ronaldo, who equalised in the 61st minute as the tired United sprinted at the crucial moments. Snatched 2 points by Middlesbrough.

This game, because Manchester United is playing away. Jonk didn't go with the team, he was at home watching Sky Live. When Sky TV commentators Taibby and Lineker "missed" Jonker at the end of the game, Jonk also smiled wryly, he could see that the whole team was now extremely tired, even if he was on the court, he might not be able to have a good result, maybe if he was lucky, maybe he could get a win.

On April 9, the second leg of the quarterfinals of the 0708 European Champions Cup, Manchester United played Roma at their home stadium at Old Trafford.

Around a dozen aggressive Roma fans were taken away by police amid the sound of sirens before the start of the match as Roma fans clashed violently with Manchester police outside the stadium.

With a suspension and a left knee injury, Jonk was able to sit in the stands and cheer on his teammates.

He watched the game with NANA in the VIP box of the rostrum at Old Trafford, and Jonker was used to watching the game in the ordinary stands, so it was more feeling, but in view of the hot scene of the clash between the fans of the two teams that Nana had just witnessed, Jonk chose to watch the game in the VIP box for the sake of safety.

This is Roma's 50th Champions League game and the sixth meeting between the two teams in a year, with a 3-2 first-leg scoreline giving United the absolute initiative, and Roma's last 10 visits to England have only one win. In this game, Ferguson did not send the strongest squad to play, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney and Paul Scholes and others were on the bench at the beginning, Silvestre, who recovered from a knee injury, returned to the first team after 207 days, and played for the Red Devils for the fourth time this season.

Mancini then fired a shot from 28 yards out on the left that was confiscated by Van der Sar. In the 16th minute, Tevez once again split the right side of the middle to play a good ball, Hargreaves cut in a cross, and Giggs outflanked the penalty area from 8 yards and pushed it was brilliantly blocked by Doni. In the 22nd minute, Vucinic's header from a long pass was confiscated by Van der Sar. One minute later, Anderson's powerful shot from 25 meters out on the left rib was directly picked up by Doni. With Cantona on the field, Manchester United's advantage on the field was more obvious. Red Devils fans were also in the stands singing the praises of the former Manchester United legend.

In the 29th minute, Giggs made a mistake in the midfield pass, and Roma passed it to the left side several times. Mancini Jr. suddenly started to break into the penalty area, Brown made a tackle, and put Mancini Jr. down when he touched the ball first, and the Swedish referee Obrepo whistled to award a penalty that caused Ferguson to be dissatisfied, and De Rossi took the penalty with a powerful right-footed shot and missed the opportunity to score.

In the 73rd minute, Perrotta brought down Park Ji-sung from behind and was yellow carded. Subsequently. Wayne Rooney and O'Shea came off the bench at the same time. Two minutes later, Rooney hit a right foot shot wide from the periphery. 81st minute. Gary Neville is back on the bench for Anderson after 390 days.

With a one-goal advantage in the first leg, it was only natural for Barcelona to knock Schalke out of the Champions League semi-finals, but Rijkaard was surprised by the German's explosive fighting power in the face of the backdrop.

The Dutchman praised Schalke after the game, but he was also pleased that Barcelona had overcome the hurdle and when it came to the next meeting with Manchester United, Rigger expressed confidence that they would knock out their opponents and reach the final.

Schalke put Barcelona under a lot of pressure in the first half, to which Riggie said: "They lost the first leg at home, they don't have any baggage, the team is not afraid of defeat at all, they just want to cause an accident at Camp Nou. The opponent played well today, we endured a lot of bad situations for a long time, but in the end we saved the win. The Dutchman was acknowledged by the tenacity of the Barcelona players, congratulating them for their hard work and for the semi-final clash with the Red Devils, Rigger said: "We are already preparing for the game against Manchester United, obviously they are not the opponents we want to meet, but it will certainly be a high-level game and we can knock them out and qualify for the final." ”

The best player in the Barcelona table was Bojan, but Rijkaard replaced him in the middle of the game, which also caused displeasure among the Camp Nou fans. Regarding the reaction of the fans, Rigger first shouted for dos Santos, who replaced Bojan: "I feel a little sad, I fully accept the boos given to me by the fans, because it is my job to make substitutions, but Dos Santos is only 18 years old, such a good player works very the field, I think it is difficult for him to accept." However, the Dutchman praised Bojan for his outstanding performance: "He gave a great game and the fans were very supportive of him and I am very happy for him. ”

Laporta said after the game that the most important team reached the semi-finals, and the fans should be proud of it, and it is clear that the recent boos and white handkerchiefs from the Camp Nou fans have made the Barcelona president a little embarrassed. "You can see that there are still a lot of good things in the team, the whole team has worked hard for a goal, Barcelona are gradually recovering from a bad situation, and now that the team has reached the semi-finals, we deserve to enjoy this victory and good moment."

Speaking about the game against Manchester United, Laporta is full of confidence in his team, "The two games will be very interesting and I think we will have the desired result. Talking about the team's goals for the future, the chairman said that it is still necessary to avoid the recurrence of the "four empty", and at the same time he once again called on the club and the fans to maintain unity, "This qiē is all for the championship honor of Barcelona."
