After Giggs played, Manchester United made changes in attack and defense.

On the offensive, Luo and Giggs flew on both wings, and Hulk and Rodriguez flew on offensively.

Defensively, abandon the man-to-man defense against Gao Xiaodong and adopt regional defense tactics.

Ferguson’s understanding and judgment of the game is very accurate, and the substitutions are also targeted. Luo and Giggs have very sharp offensive powers. They gather on the two wings. Hulk and Rodriguez dare not attack unscrupulously anymore. With great pressure, Evra and O'Shea, who were clumsy and frequently making mistakes in the first half, disappeared. Instead, they were able to attack and defend O'Shea and Evra.

On defense, Park Ji-sung not only failed to guard Gao Xiaodong in the first half, but also destroyed Manchester United’s offensive formation. It can be said that both offensive and defensive ends were defeated. After adopting regional defense, Manchester United doubled and blocked Gao Xiaodong. Tactics, Gao Xiaodong is fast and physically strong, but the technology is rough, not enough to dribble and pass the ball in a multiplayer double team. This tactic very well limits Gao Xiaodong’s organization and scheduling role, the only flaw is not It is easy to limit Gao Xiaodong's long shots.

After changing the style of play, Manchester United quickly got a shot.

In the 6o minute of the game, Giggs swayed Fusila with a realistic fake move, cut into the penalty area and then passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area. Scholes had a keen sense of keeping up with a long shot.

Porto goalkeeper Helton did not react, but the ball flew out of the baseline against the goalpost.

After 3 minutes, Carrick found Giggs with a 50-meter long pass from the backcourt. Giggs made a pass again. Ronaldo hit the goal with a small angle header, but the ball was blocked by Rolando.

Giggs’ onslaught on the right forced Porto’s defense to lean to the right. At this time, Giggs suddenly hit the center to Scholes. Scholes quickly scored the ball to Luo. Luo broke through Sissoko for the first time in the game. Huo, pass the ball into the penalty area to find Rooney.

Rolando's header was not far away, and Carrick followed up with a volley, but the ball went above the goal again.

Ferreira reacted slowly on the spot. Manchester United’s consecutive attacks on the goal did not make timely adjustments. Gao Xiaodong found that Manchester United’s wing attack was sharp, but the main cause of the shot was Manchester United’s three midfielders. Fletcher, Fletcher, and Carrick took turns to defend. Fernando and Meireles wanted to help defend the wing and could not help him. He could not help Falcao forward, so he simply retreated to the midfielder to prevent Manchester United midfielder.的前plug.

Gao Xiaodong’s retracement is very important. The average offensive player returning to the backcourt is actually similar to defending with more posts, and sometimes it is not helpful. However, Gao Xiaodong is a full attribute player, not a cameo. When he returns to the back midfielder, he is the back. waist.

When to get stuck, when to grab, when to flanking, he is familiar with the road, plus Gao Xiaodong has the first degree and strength of the team, when he comes back, the Porto defender has three midfielders in front of him, whether it is Skoll S was still Fletcher and Carrick, and the effect of the forward insertion was immediately discounted by more than half.

Without the midfielder's outflank, Manchester United's offense from the wing is just scratching, and it is difficult to directly threaten Helton's goal, unless they can thoroughly penetrate the full-back defense and cut into the penalty area to shoot. However, today Luo is tired and Giggs is old, and neither has the ability to completely defeat Fusile and Sisocoho.

After Gao Xiaodong retreated, not only did his defense become stable, he also had room for offense.

In the 66th minute of the game, Rolando, Fernando and Meireles made a quick short pass at the front of the penalty area, avoiding Rooney and Scholes's pressure, leading the ball and passing it to Gao Xiaodong's Underfoot.

Gao Xiaodong turned around after receiving the ball, and Fletcher rushed to grab it. Gao Xiaodong deliberately reduced it. When Fletcher made a pounce, he swung the ball to the outside, and hit his side with his shoulder against Fletcher's chest.

Fletcher focused more on the ball. He didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to be so insidious. He hurriedly retracted his foot and was bumped into the chest and abdomen junction. He staggered back a few steps without breathing for a while.

"Damn! Hit someone!"

"Hua Guo, the fat man, is rampant on the court, why didn't the referee send him off?"

"Sent off? He didn't even take a yellow card!"

"This fat guy is too wretched and he doesn't move much. Fletcher seems to hit him on his own."

"Calculate Fletcher, shameless!"

...

Manchester United fans in the stands all hate Gao Xiaodong, but they have no choice but to curse Gao Xiaodong.

Where did Gao Xiaodong care about the boos from the fans in the stands, he shaded Fletcher and dribbled the ball forward. At this time Rodriguez and Hulk also ran forward desperately to meet Gao Xiaodong.

Seeing that the frontcourt was going to be a 4-on-4 situation, Giggs and Luo ran back quickly.

In the face of Gao Xiaodong who was rushing, Carrick did not dare to retreat too far, afraid of Gao Xiaodong's long shots, and did not dare to stick too close, for fear of being passed by Gao Xiaodong.

But this distance is not so easy to grasp, Gao Xiaodong enters the 30-meter area, Gao Xiaodong suddenly stops, then starts again, and then another sudden stop changes direction, and then swings the angle of the shot. Gao Xiaodong did not hesitate. Pulling his feet and shooting, the ball flew straight to the right side of the goal like a cannonball out of the chamber.

Gao Xiaodong's explosive power was amazing, and Van der Sar didn't dare to neglect, so he flew forward.

Extending his arm to the extreme without touching the ball, Van der Sar's heart was cold and he felt dangerous, but the ball flew out of the baseline against the goalpost.

"what!"

"So hanging!"

"Pity!"

From the stands came the voices of regret and fortune from the fans on both sides.

Porto’s attack has attracted the attention of Manchester United. Manchester United’s midfield has shrunk slightly to strengthen the defense during the transition from offense to defense, and does not give Gao Xiaodong a chance to dribble the ball forward.

But with Gao Xiaodong's retracement, Hulk and Rodríguez let go of their hands and feet and attacked more boldly.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong transferred a long pass, Hulk dribbled the ball inside, swayed Evans at the front of the penalty area, raised his foot and shot.

Hulk's shooting power was comparable to Gao Xiaodong, and he flew seventy or eighty kilometers out of the grass.

However, Van der Sar's state was also practiced by Porto. He flew to block the ball, Falcao flung Vidic to keep up with the push, and was saved by the brave Van der Sar.

The two consecutive shots were quick and anxious. When Vidic kicked the ball out of the sideline, the Manchester United fans let out a huge sigh, secretly crying out for luck.

Falcao didn't expect Van der Sar's inevitable supplementary shot to be magically saved. He covered his face with both hands and sighed. Only then did he understand how buggy the world-class goalkeeper is.

Ferguson couldn't bear Evans anymore. He replaced Evans with Neville, allowing O'Shea to play as a central defender and Neville as a full-back, completely changing the combination of the back line.

Ferreira finally made a substitution adjustment at this time. Guarin replaced Rodriguez, Guarin, Fernando and Meireles played three midfielders. Gao Xiaodong continued to advance, Hulk and Falcao. Partner with two forwards.

Ferreira thinks very beautifully. The third midfielder is solidly defending. Gao Xiaodong can also play the role of organizing counterattacks and attacking the opponent's goal. However, in this way, there are more people in the middle, which is not conducive to Gao Xiaodong who is slightly rough and fast. The play, Manchester United has the advantage instead.

In the 77th minute of the game, Ferguson saw that the score could not be rewritten. He made the third substitution adjustment, replacing the veteran Scholes with Argentine forward Tevez, and sent four attackers to start the final offensive. .

At the last moment, Ferguson's courage inspired the fighting spirit of the Manchester United players and fans. The 70,000 Red Devils all stood up, sang the team song, and encouraged the players. The Manchester United players ran desperately and rushed towards Porto.

Porto didn't want to retreat, but they could not retreat. Under Manchester United's high pressure, they had to retreat at halftime and resisted the fierce offensive of Manchester United.

In the 88th minute, the **** of luck was moved by Manchester United's courage.

Sissokoho destroyed Luo's dribble, Gary. Neville struggled to throw the out-of-bounds ball directly to Rooney in the penalty area.

The Porto players were caught off guard this time, and Sapruna and Rolando intercepted together, not giving Rooney a chance to shoot.

Rooney was facing the goal sideways and wanted to take a volley, but the front shot angle was completely blocked. He cleverly knocked the ball to the front of the penalty area with his heel and passed it to Tevez.

Tevez's position was between Fernando and Guarin. He kicked up quickly and took a volley. Fernando and Guarin's interception were one step late, and the ball screamed under the crossbar and bounced into the net.

The distance is so close, the ball is so fast, today's brave goalkeeper Helton can only look at the ball and sigh.

"Goa1! goa1! goa1..."

"Tevez!"

"Tevez lore!"

"Lore! Lore!"

...

The Manchester United fans went crazy, the demons danced in the stands, the applause sounded like thunder, the voice shook the mountain, and the whole stadium turned into a volcanic eruption.

Ferguson raised his arms and rushed out in cheers.

Although 2:1 is not ideal, it is also a victory. With this ball, the initiative is in the hands of Manchester United. Ferguson, who wants to win the five crowns, can't be excited.

Ferreira stayed, and was beaten by his opponent at this time. It was a loss, but he didn't have the courage to let go and fight again. He felt that an away goal would be good, so he didn't take any action.

The Porto fans are very sorry and very angry, and many impatients have begun to curse.

The British man pouted his mouth and said, "Thousands of miles came to England, but he failed."

Wu Lei said irritably: "Okay, it's not bad that Porto can play like this. With an away goal, what else is needed."

The Porto players in the stadium began to complain.

"Who defended Rooney, let him pass the ball at will!"

"Who defended Tevez, the two teamed up and let him shoot."

"He shot directly without stopping the ball, how to prevent it."

"How do we guard Rooney, can we still fall down in the penalty area?"

...

Gao Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and saw the captain's armband on his arm. Damn, the first time he led the team to play in the Champions League, he would lose if he couldn't. It's a pity that the special points are gone. Do not! Can't admit defeat! There is still time, Gao Xiaodong yelled at his teammates who were complaining: "Made! Blind, continue to attack, there are still a few minutes."

Seeing his teammates calm down, Gao Xiaodong yelled again, "All give me a bold attack, run, and whoever doesn't run, don't blame me after the game."

Fernando said: "Listen to the captain!"

Hulk said: "Well! We can't give up!"

Falcao said: "They can score in the 88th minute, and we can also score in stoppage time."

The celebration time for the Manchester United players was very long. When Porto kicked off again, stoppage time had passed by half a minute.

Three minutes of stoppage time.

The players of Manchester United thought that the overall situation was settled and began to shrink their formation and focus on defense, but they did not give up offensively. For Manchester United, 2:1 is not enough. They hope to use the opportunity of Porto to attack again. One goal, completely locked in the promotion place.

After the Porto circle kicked off, all the Porto players pressed forward. Gao Xiaodong held the ball and dribbled forward. Fletcher made a fierce kick and shoveled over. Gao Xiaodong did not dodge and lifted the ball upwards. After Fletcher, Gao Xiaodong was shoveled over.

Everyone thought that Gao Xiaodong was going to lie on the ground for a few rolls, but Gao Xiaodong got up all the time and rushed over to grab the ball with Giggs.

Giggs stretched his foot to pull the ball, trying to get the ball out of the way and lied to a foul.

But Giggs underestimated Gao Xiaodong's degree and overestimated his age of 36 years. Gao Xiaodong hit the ball first and staggered Giggs.

Gao Xiaodong had two people in a row, Carrick and O'Shea were panicked, and the two came over by appointment to attack Gao Xiaodong.

At the same time, Falcao thrust his ribs to the left, leaving the middle to Gao Xiaodong, and at the same time allowing Gao Xiaodong to find a way to pass to him. Hulk thrust his ribs diagonally from the side to the right and shouted: "Gao Xiaodong Team! Give it to me!"

At this moment, Porto's two strikers and one midfielder are finished in a three-man zigzag into the penalty area. This is Porto's conventional attack tactics. Manchester United has also been prepared for this. The accident is that Gao Xiaodong has continuously broken through Giggs and Fletcher.

Vidic followed Falcao closely, but Evra was left behind by Hulk.

Hulk is the most dangerous at the moment. Porto scored the first goal and was unguarded.

None of the Manchester United fans in the stands sat down. They were about to suffocate with tension. Many people couldn't help chanting: "Danger! Marking!"

O'Shea saw Hulk and quickly moved laterally to intercept the pass between Gao Xiaodong and Hulk.

In O'Shea's view, Carrick should be able to block Gao Xiaodong, even if he can't, he can still foul.

However, at this moment, a figure inserted into the restricted area from Gao Xiaodong's side, and shouted, "Captain give it to me!"

It's Guarin!

He inserted from behind Gao Xiaodong into the space behind Carrick.

Carrick was in neutral behind him, but Carrick was right in front of Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong couldn't pass it at all, and there was one more person in the middle, Gao Xiaodong hadn't been able to break through.

This is simply adding to the chaos!

The Porto fans in the stands didn't dare to blink their nervous eyes. Seeing Gua Er Lengzi running around for the ball like this, they all cursed: "Damn pen! Idiot! Pig!"

However, just between the sparkling sparks that Gua Lin passed through behind Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong had a clever move, and changed the direction of the ball, moving laterally to the outside of Gua Lin's body.

Carrick subconsciously followed Gao Xiaodong to move.

Bang!

Carrick happened to collide with Guarin.

Gao Xiaodong flashed the time and space of the shot, and shot angrily on the penalty area line.

After the ball was hit hard by the instep, it whizzed and flew towards the net against the turf.

The distance is so close and the ball is so fast that even goalkeeper Van der Sar can't react even if he is the goalkeeper. He hasn't fallen to the ground before the ball is already rolling in the net.

2:2

In the second minute of stoppage time, Gao Xiaodong scored!

Watching the ball into the net, Gao Xiaodong raised his arms and ran to the stands frantically. He jumped forward while running, and then he slid down to the ground.

The suffocating atmosphere shrouded in Old Trafford Stadium was kicked by Gao Xiaodong, Porto fans screamed frantically, and Manchester United fans slumped on their seats like a punctured balloon.

Manchester United coach Ferguson shook his head in disbelief. In any case, he could not have imagined that the lore turned into a counter-kill in a blink of an eye, and he was killed by a small club and a 19-year-old rookie. 8
