The Glasgow Rangers kicked the ball to the frontcourt, but there was no one in the frontcourt. The ball was taken by the Manchester United defender and hit the midfield with a kick.

Fletcher was originally a defensive midfielder, but his opponent had only one striker in his own half. His defensive midfielder was useless. He did not pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and directly advanced to the Glasgow Rangers with the ball. Area of ​​thirty meters.

There is no obstacle in front. Today, the Rangers are very sincere. They just want to defend one point and let you take the ball outside the 30-meter area. After entering the 30-meter area, two people rushed to Fletcher to double-team. .

Fletcher is not a good player to break through. The opponents double-teamed, and he quickly divided the ball to Park Ji-sung, who had a good relationship.

Park Ji-sung took the ball from the side and quickly broke through to the bottom line. The Glasgow Rovers guarded the backcourt. There was no room for Park Ji-sung. Park Ji-sung’s flexibility and quickness could not be displayed. The defender Papaci squeezed the ball out of the sideline with his body and easily broke the ball. Come down.

The offense of the Glasgow Rangers is very simple. After Papachi steals the ball, he directly finds forward Miller with a long pass.

Even if Manchester United were replaced by Smalling and Vidic partners, Miller was not the one who could easily take the header. Smalling bravely grabbed the ball and then the ball was pushed back to the Rangers' half.

This time the ball fell to Valencia's feet, Valencia has the advantage of speed, quickly passed the winger's interception, and then the ball passed Broadford, passing the ball to the penalty area on the baseline.

Valencia passed a high ball, but Rooney and Hernandez were a head shorter than the Rangers' defender, and the header was also very common. They couldn't touch the ball at all and were headed out by the defender.

Gao Xiaodong knew there was nothing when he passed the ball in Valencia, so he waited to grab the second spot.

But he didn't expect the Rangers guard to have too much strength. When Gao Xiaodong went to grab the second spot, he found that Fletcher had arrived earlier than him.

Of course Gao Xiaodong won't compete with Fletcher, he drew to one side, ready to receive Fletcher's pass.

Gao Xiaodong has a normal relationship with Fletcher. When he was in Porto, Fletcher was still planning to shovel him and was stopped by Scholes. But now he is an offensive player and Fletcher is a defensive player, facing opponents. Intensive defense, Gao Xiaodong thought Fletcher would give him the ball.

But Gao Xiaodong was wrong. After receiving the ball, Fletcher took advantage of the opponent's defense against Valencia's pass and did not press it out, quickly scoring into the 30-meter area, and shooting at the goal.

Not to mention, Fletcher’s shot was of great quality, and the ball went straight to the upper left corner. Goalkeeper McGregor struggling to save the ball.

Manchester United got the chance of a corner kick, Gao Xiaodong took the penalty personally, Vidic and Smalling both went in to grab points.

The corner kick was taken, Rangers defender Weir headed out the ball, Park Ji-sung caught the ball and passed it into the penalty area again, the ball was pushed out again, Fletcher followed up with another long shot, but the ball hit Rooney's The bottom line popped up on the body.

After the opening, Manchester United's offensive wave after wave, the Rangers defended the 30-meter area, piled high points in the penalty area, and let Manchester United attack.

I have to say that Smith has worked with Ferguson for so many years and he knows Ferguson so well. He doesn't think that if Manchester United are on the bench, the Rangers will be able to beat Manchester United. He insists on using the intensive defensive tactics formulated before the game instead of making temporary changes. Play.

Smith’s style of play for Rangers is very targeted. Both the forwards and the forwards Gao Xiaodong and Fletcher have no height. Faced with a group of elders from Rangers, there is no advantage in scoring the ball, and passing the ground ball. Can not pass in, penetration is not Manchester United's strong point, can only wait for opportunities to shoot long shots.

20 minutes into the game, the Rangers finally had their first chance to shoot.

Rangers midfielder Davis made a long pass from the backfield. The Rangers forward saw the goalkeeper Kuzzza standing forward, headed straight back and lobbed the goal. Kuzzak quickly backed away and hit the ball with a single palm. beam.

Positioning kicks are almost the only chance for the Rangers to score goals. Their header players all came to the penalty area to compete for the top. Davis took a corner kick. The 40-year-old captain Weir grabbed the spot and a lion shook his head. , Directed the ball to the upper right corner, but Manchester United's substitute goalkeeper Kuzzak was very stable, flying around to hold the ball with both hands.

This is a rare opportunity to counterattack, Gao Xiaodong quickly pulled the side and raised his hand for the ball.

Kuzzak tossed the ball to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong directly countered with a long pass. Manchester United's frontcourt was formed. Hernandez and Rooney had a chance to play full-back Papaqi.

Hernandez knocked the ball to Rooney, Rooney crossed to Hernandez on the right side of the penalty area, but the intention of the pass was too obvious and was intercepted by Papachi.

The excellent chance of two-on-one was defeated by Rooney's mistake. The 70,000 Manchester United fans on the scene all sighed.

"This is so good that you can make a mistake in two-on-one. Is there a better chance?"

"Rooney shouldn't be on the court, he should be on the bed."

"Why didn't Berbatov go? I don't believe that he can pass a ball like this."

"Two scums on the front line, you can't move them."

"Rooney has no pressure to pick two on the bed. Two-on-one on the court is not good, so let's go down."

...

On-site commentator Martin also said: "Rooney, Rooney, with the style of a Ranger, there are not many opportunities like this in the back."

Manchester United's pass from the side is useless, the penetration in the center is not so fine, so they can only rely on long shots to find the opportunity to break.

In the 25th minute of the game, before Park Ji-sung crossed the penalty area, Fletcher greeted the ball with an angry shot close to the near post and widened.

In the 27th minute, Hernandez took the ball back in the penalty area and knocked back on the top of the arc. Gao Xiaodong hit the goalkeeper McGregor with his right foot and beat McGregor into the penalty area for two minutes. climb up.

In the 32nd minute, Valencia made a cross from the right and was blocked in front of the penalty area. Fletcher volleyed the ball and hit the plane.

In the 37th minute, Gao Xiaodong dribbled the ball into the penalty area. The ball was cut off. Gao Xiaodong succeeded in a counter grab. He turned around and took a long shot and the ball flew into the stands.

At this moment, the caring people have seen some signs of irregularities.

"Is this Fletcher and Gao Xiaodong taking turns in a long-range shooting contest?"

"Although it takes a long shot to break the dense defense, it can't be uncooperative at all."

"Did Fletcher shoot a bit more. Can his shooting skills compare to Xiao Dong?"

"If you go on like this, it depends on luck to break the door."

"Fletcher should not be played, the opponent has no offense at all, why not go to Scholes."

...

At this time even assistant coach Ferran felt wrong and said to Ferguson: "Fletcher shot too many goals today."

Ferguson smiled meaningfully: "Maybe Fletcher was too eager to score a goal."

Manchester United's repeated attacks were fruitless. The players were a little impatient. In the 40th minute of the game, the Rangers made a long pass to attack. Vidic lowered his head at Miller and wanted to give the ball to the goalkeeper, but Kuzzak felt that Dic was able to get it, Vidic and Kuzzak made a mistake and the ball almost flew into their own goal. Fortunately, Kuzzak returned quickly and held the ball on the goal line.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Rooney was shoveled by Vail when he received the ball at the front of the penalty area. He twisted his ankle and fell to the ground in pain.

Manchester United fans were shocked. Although Rooney is in poor condition, his strength is second only to Gao Xiaodong, and it is indispensable for Manchester United to win the championship.

Sir Alex Ferguson quickly let the team doctor come in and treat Rooney.

After all, Rooney is very strong. Although he crooked his ankle, but after the team doctor blocked him, he signaled that there was nothing wrong and went back into the game.

Then Gao Xiaodong took the free kick.

The Rangers knew that Gao Xiaodong was a good free kick and drained a 7-man wall to defend.

Gao Xiaodong saw the height of the Wanderer’s human wall and knew that it was useless to go around, so he played tactically with Rooney. He passed the ball and Rooney raised his foot and shot, but the ball was thrown into his arms by the Ranger goalkeeper .

Rangers goalkeeper Grigor watched the first half immediately passed, fell to the ground and couldn't afford it. He was recognized by the referee as a delay in time and showed a yellow card warning.

Grigor then took the goal kick and the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

In the first half, Manchester United shot 15 feet wildly, the Rangers only shot one shot, but the two sides scored a 0-0 tie within 45 minutes.
