Restricted Superstar

"I scored! I scored! I scored Manchester United's goal!" Cardoso raised his arms and ran to the stands roaring.

The Paraguayan star Cardoso is 1.94 meters tall, has an excellent header and is not weak at his feet. He can play as a center or a midfielder. He is an all-rounder in the frontcourt.

In 2007, Cardoso transferred to Benfica for 11 million euros, which is the second worth of Benfica's history. Cardoso is completely worthy of his worth. In the three seasons of the transfer, Cardoso scored 50 goals in 79 games and became The star of Benfica fans.

Seeing Cardoso break the Manchester United goal by Benfica, Benfica fans were all excited, "Oscar! Oscar! Oscar! You are the pride of Benfica!"

Benfica coach **** is very surprised. For him, Manchester United is too strong. Even if Benfica is playing at home, **** dare not say victory. Both home and away scores, or even away scores, are nothing. , The important thing is to defeat other opponents and strive to qualify for the group, not to fight Manchester United to the end.

Cardoso's goal made **** see the hope of victory. He was the first to rush out of the coach's bench to applaud Cardoso's goal: Good job! Oscar! awesome! Oscar!

The Portuguese live commentator exclaimed with excitement, "Goal! Goal! Benfica scored the goal! What a surprise! Facing the powerful Manchester United! Facing world-class stars such as Gao Xiaodong and Rooney,? Cardoso scored! This is the Stadium of Light! Cardoso is the host here today!"

The Chinese commentator He Hui was also amazed at Cardoso’s goal. "Cardoso’s goal is beautiful! Although this is not Manchester United’s strongest line of defense, Evans and Smalling are two central defenders. The Premier League’s four giants must also be the absolute main force. Manchester United is a bit difficult to do. Benfica’s quick counterattack is very sharp. Once Manchester United attacked, this line of defense may not be able to defend... Of course, if Xiaodong and Rooney can With outstanding performance, it is not impossible to reverse Benfica..."

The Manchester United players are frustrated!

Manchester United's goal in this game is three points, one point is the bottom line, and now, it is obviously more difficult to complete this goal.

Fletcher yelled at Evans and Smalling and was very dissatisfied with their defense. He thought Smalling was slow to defend and Evans should foul in time and not give Cardoso a chance to kick.

Both Evans and Smalling were aggrieved. Evans thought that as a central defender, how could he foul in such a dangerous area first. Smalling thought that he had to defend Aimar, who was inserted, and he couldn’t help defending at all, but Fletcher is the veteran of the team, both of them dare not speak.

Carrick was dissatisfied with the performance of goalkeeper De Gea. He believed that this ball would definitely not be shot in by Van der Sar.

Gao Xiaodong was the first team captain. Seeing the sullen expressions of Evans and Smalling, he hurried to comfort them so that they would not have a psychological burden. It is even more important to play well in the subsequent games.

Under Gao Xiaodong's consolation, Evans and Smalling were in a much lighter mood. They felt that Gao Xiaodong, the captain, did not look young, but very sensible. He was much better than Fletcher as the captain.

On the sidelines, Ferguson stomped his feet with anger, hating his slow adjustment, and annoyed that the two central defenders could not hold onto one Cardoso.

Now there is no time to wait. Ferguson quickly called Gao Xiaodong Fletcher and Carrick over, "Gao, you retreat and protect the two central defenders in the middle, Fletcher and Carrick, you protect both sides. When Lu, Carrick and Gao attack, Fletcher, you protect behind them both."

Gao Xiaodong has no objection. He also sees that Smallin and Evans have too little experience and insufficient ability in games like the Champions League. There must be enough protection in front of them, otherwise there will be problems later.

Fletcher and Carrick were uncomfortable, and Ferguson’s arrangement actually slapped them in the face, thinking that they were not doing well in the midfielder position, otherwise Gao Xiaodong would not be allowed to retreat.

Old players such as Fletcher and Carrick have been unconvinced that Gao Xiaodong is the captain. Now Gao Xiaodong is even more upset.

After Benfica celebrated, Manchester United kicked off in the middle circle.

Manchester United could not accept the status quo of lagging behind. After the kick-off, the players bravely moved forward and launched a fierce attack on Benfica's penalty area.

Fletcher passed the ball to the left back Evra, who assisted Benfica at halftime. Evra stopped the ball and wanted to make the bottom. Benfica's defensive players were quick to pick up the ball and hit the ball out of the sideline.

Evra sent a sideline ball to Gao Xiaodong, who swept the ball sideways to the penalty area.

Goalkeeper Artur saw that the ball was not fast and bullied Rooney because he was not tall. He wanted to take the ball. Rooney saw his teammate Carrick rushing over. He ran to block the goalkeeper Artur's way with his body and let Carrick. Go for a header.

The Benfica central defender is not a vegetarian, and Louis rushed to compete with Carrick for the top spot.

Louison was a little later than Carrick, but he jumped up and squeezed against Carrick very experienced, causing Carrick to lose control and knock the ball out of the baseline.

Although the referee awarded a goal kick, but Benfica's head coach **** Jesus expressed indignation at Rooney's blocking goalkeeper Artur in the penalty area. He thinks the referee should call Rooney a foul.

Goalkeeper Artur kicked the goal kick with a big foot, and the ball was pushed in front of Carrick by Manchester United defender Smalin.

Carrick took the ball and moved forward with full-back Phil Jones.

Carrick had returned from injury and was in a normal state. He and Phil Jones had little cooperation. He made a mistake in the half-time of Benfica and the ball was cut off by Garcia.

Benfica counterattacked quickly, and Garcia passed the ball to Argentine full-back Gaitan.

Gaitan took the ball and broke through the Manchester United penalty area. He was very fast. It was too late for Carrick and Smallin to defend, but Gaitan himself did not control it well. The ball and people directly rushed out of the baseline...

Manchester United served the goal kick, and De Gea passed the ball to full-back Evra to be safe, pushing forward from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Benfica does not want the flames of war to burn at the front of their penalty area. They launched a high position in the frontcourt, delaying Manchester United's advancement time, and looking for a counterattack opportunity after the steal.

Manchester United managed to pass the ball to Benfica halftime, Evra directly passed the ball to Rooney, Rooney turned around and wanted to do it to Gao Xiaodong, but was destroyed by Benfica's midfielder and the ball fell to Carrick's feet.

Facing the press, Carrick quickly passed to the pressing full-back Phil Jones, Phil Jones wanted to pass to Rooney, but the ball hit his opponent.

Benfica player Garcia took the ball to Gaitan. Gaitan wanted to use his speed to attack Manchester United's wing, but Phil Jones had been prepared for a while and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.

Gaitan took advantage of Phil Jones's fall to the ground and quickly sent the sideline ball, throwing the ball to Aimar, wanting Aimar to take the ball forward.

Gao Xiaodong is in charge of the back midfielder, and Aimar is the opponent. He is very wary of Aimar, the core of Benfica. As soon as Aimar took the ball, Gao Xiaodong flew up.

Aimar saw that Gao Xiaodong pounced very hard and wanted to smash the ball past Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong looked fierce and fast, but in fact he still kept his strength. When Aimar smashed the ball, Gao Xiaodong stretched out his foot. Taking advantage of his strength, he stole the ball from Aimar's feet.

In just one minute, the ball changed hands three times in the midfield, which shows the fast pace and fierce fighting of both sides.
