Future King

Chapter 78 Such a draw is dangerous

The Old Trafford Stadium was jubilant. Some fans had stood up and were ready to cheer and score goals, and Rooney did not let them down. The little fat man didn't even look up and observe, but shot directly!!

This was a low shot. The football was close to the turf and rolled towards the goal very fast. Although Helton fell to the ground, he could not touch the football!

The goal is scored!!

2:2, Manchester United equalized the score again. Porto coach Ferreira looked at Rooney, who simply celebrated the goal on the court, together with Li Yu and Ronaldo, who fished the football from the net, two young people born in 1985, and the other was even young. This is Manchester United's attack combination. They ran towards the middle circle together. He frowned. The ball can't be too harsh on the back line. They have tried their best. To be honest, Manchester United's attack was really wonderful.

Ferreira looked at Ferguson not far away with some envy. He believed that almost all the head coaches would envy Ferguson. Li Yu, Ronaldo and Rooney, these three talented young people, will be the core of the attack in any other team, and Manchester United has three at once, but He did not give up the following game. It can be seen that Manchester United has always been playing with his life at the beginning, but Manchester United player is also a human. His physical fitness is not good, but in the second half, it is extremely consumed. Next, Porto does not have no chance to overtake again, and Manchester United may soon have a physical decline.

Three minutes later, Ferreira was surprised by what happened on the field. Manchester United players still had the physical ability to continue to support such an attack. After equalizing the score, Manchester United, which continued to attack wildly, almost overtook the score.

This is the assist. After receiving Scholes's score, O'Sheer took the football forward and rushed up with the football into the penalty area.

This foot pass is quite comfortable. Li Yu grabbed the front of Alves and directly took a top shot. When Manchester United fans had raised their arms high and were ready to cheer for the goal again, Helton made a world-class save. He blocked the football with one palm.

"It's really good for him to grab the point. Li Yu completely got rid of the opponent's central defender. What a powerful header. Herton saved Milan. If Manchester United scored two goals in a row in three minutes, Porto would also be very troublesome. I have to say that Li Yu is a very aura player. This is a talent, right. There is a clear judgment in the football landing. Li Yu's talent is not only physical, but also far beyond ordinary people in football consciousness!" Director Zhang Luzhang is combining Li Yu's attack to explain the essentials of the action.

The analysis is very correct, but it is not Li Yu's talent at all. It is completely the result of his special training. Now it seems that in the game, there is a clear judgment of the football landing point, which is still very helpful to Li Yu.

Manchester United got a chance to make a corner kick. C Ronaldo went to take a corner kick. The Portuguese made a corner kick. Li Yu reached the football at the front point. After the ball was pushed by him, the arc was a little strange and turned towards the goal. Helton blocked the football again.

Li Yu competed for the opportunity to head the goal twice in a row, which made Porto coach Ferreira unable to sit down. Let Manchester United No. 9 go down like this. No matter how bravely Hellton is, he will lose the goal. He is anxious and worried. Alves is already the best head team player in the Porto team. If he doesn't take Li Yu. The way, it's useless for anyone to go up. Now we can only expect that other Manchester United players will be tired quickly, their support for Li Yu will be weakened, and there will be no chance that the threat will naturally come down.

Forced robbed, crazy forced robbed, Ferreira began to command the Porto players to carry out the desperate forced robbed against Manchester United. Compared with their opponents, they have more physical advantages. Now there is no need to wait any time to consume the physical energy of Manchester United players, and Porto will have an opportunity.

With the passage of time, the score on the field is still 2:2, which is definitely an acceptable score for Porto, or even better. Holding two away goals, in this way, you can return to your home court, and even only need to play 0 with Manchester United in the second round of the game. A 0 or 1:1 draw can eliminate the popular Manchester United and enter the semi-finals.

Although 20 minutes later in the second half, Ferguson continuously strengthened the team's running and interception ability by means of substitution, there are only three places, and it is impossible to change all of them. In the second half of the second half, Manchester United has not been replaced. He is completely struggling to support the next game and can equalize the score. It's already very good. This is still the result of the trident combination in the front court. Otherwise, the first round of Manchester United's home game is likely to end in Manchester United's defeat.

When Rizzoli blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score on the big screen of Old Trafford remained unchanged. Although Porto did not defeat Manchester United at Manchester United's home, they also scored two gold away goals.

Although it is a draw, the defending Champions League champion Manchester United seems to have come to a dead end.

As far as this game is concerned, what is the problem with Manchester United?

Injuries and players' fatigue after consecutive battles and boating fatigue are definitely an important reason.

Almost all the players in Manchester United's main lineup represented the national team in the World Cup preliminaries or friendly matches last week.

For example, Rooney. Rooney played a full game in the friendly match between England and Slovakia, and then played 90 minutes in the game against Ukraine, which is unimaginable for Manchester United's intensive schedule in the past two weeks.

Of course, in the game with Slovakia, Rooney had a chance to rest, but the English front players were constantly injured and occupied all the places for a while. Capello could only keep Rooney on the field, while Liverpool midfielder Gerrard was replaced at the beginning of the second half and had ample rest. Time. Although he did not play last week's league due to suspension, Rooney did not work hard in this game, but his teammates were generally depressed, so he never played any decent cooperation. However, Rooney still scored a goal in the second half.

Li Yu has become the best player in Manchester United. Without the fetters of the national team, his state in the game is obviously several times higher than that of his teammates, but his personal performance really can't save Manchester United. The abnormal performance of his teammates has made Li Yu's efforts come to nothing.

In the starting lineup of Manchester United, the Red Devils players are not working hard, and they can't say that they are not active at the beginning of the second half, but it is obvious that the morale is not high and the state is not good, which affects the home performance.

Ferdinand's absence on the guard line has the greatest impact on Manchester United's defense.

Although Vidic was suspended and returned from the game and performed well, his partner Evans obviously could not adapt to the atmosphere of the competition, and the opponent's offensive in the first half did make Manchester United's defender roar.

It was a low-level mistake in Evans' defense that allowed Porto to score the first goal.

Other players, including Ronaldo and Scholes, who shoulder offensive tasks, keep running, but pose little threat to their opponents, which is also directly related to the tired state of the players.

C Ronaldo also participated in Portugal's World Cup preliminaries last week. He also played well in the last league, but playing three games in a week did have an impact on his physical fitness.

Although Scholes does not have the national team's game task, after all, the years are not spared, and the former ginger head will also encounter an embarrassing situation where physical failure affects his performance. Similarly, although the last game was on the wall, the state of this game was still affected. Time is like a pig-killing knife, and a strong midfielder like Scholes still can't escape the erosion of the years.

Tevez returned to South America to participate in Argentina's world qualifiers, and also tasted the bitter fruit of the team's 1-6 loss. He also started nearly 90 minutes in the league, which also made him lose the starting opportunity of this game. The next substitute appearance can only be described as obscurity.

In addition, the attack power of Porto is underestimated.

The Porto team has three strikers in this game. The three attacking players are fast and can quickly pass through the midfield from defense to attack, and go straight into the hinterland of Manchester United.

Although Ferguson has sufficient expectations for the opponent's lineup and has three defensive midfielders, Scholes, Fletcher and Carrick in the midfield, the opponent's counterattack speed and more offensive points still make the Manchester United midfield exhausted.

It can be said that the whole game, although Manchester United showed an offensive in a local period of time, it was actually led by the opponent.

The opponent can create a threat every time he attacks, and after retreating, the defender can also organize the defense line very carefully. Even the goalkeeper Elton has hardly been out of the small penalty area, which shows that Porto is well prepared.

If it weren't for Alves' low-level mistake, Manchester United would have had little chance to attack in sports in the first half.

It is constrained by the opponent's attack that Manchester United's third line has always been suppressed to the midfield and its own half, and the attack line cannot be pushed to the front court. Under the pressure of the opponent, the passing and receiving of the ball in the midfield and the handling of the ball made successive mistakes, which also gave the opponent more threatening offensive opportunities.

Evans's opening mistake in the first half seems to be a lack of personal ability, but in fact, it is also due to the pressure caused by the opponent's tightness on the defense of the whole Manchester United team.

By the second half, although Ferguson adjusted the defense, the right side of Neville's guard still became a short board, and the opponent's equalised goal was also because Neville lost his position and was attacked by the opponent.

Manchester United's morale rose after the FIFA Club World Cup, winning streak all the way to the top of the league, but when the league entered the sprint period, they had to deal with multi-line battles. Coupled with the outbreak of the FIFA virus, it was normal for Manchester United to be tired. At this time, Manchester United must learn to choose. If they are greedy, it is likely to lead to tragedy. Historically, no Premier League team has won at the Dragons Stadium. Although Ferguson said after the game that he wanted to break this fate, what is the probability of such a thing?

Catastrophic 2 to 2, should it be blamed by Evans or Neville?

The British media is objective this time, aiming at Ferguson, who is blindly big and gambling. Isn't it?

Even the people of Porto knew that the previous league had been advanced to last Saturday. Ferreira also hid Lucho González, Lisandro and Rodriguez, who had just returned from South America. Why did the Lord refuse to apply for a day in advance and insisted on letting Rooney and C. Ronaldo start? Manchester United, which has played 53 games, is really the Red Devils that can't be defeated?

Portuguese media gloated after the game: "There is no 20-year-old genius to save you this time!"

Li Yu's goal was just an accident, punishing Aston Villa, who is used to losing points at the last minute this season.

Manchester United's defensive problems have never been as prominent as they are now: O'Shea was rushed to pieces by Sissko on the right, and Evans in the middle was the beginning of the disaster. Although his performance in the second half was not bad, his partner Vidic was so prominent. In the face of the physically strong Hulk, the Serbian state is still moving away from the peak of 14 cleans.

Of course, compared with Evra, who was tortured by Rodriguez on the left, Neville, who replaced O'Shea, was simply a disaster. The last time Manchester United was defeated by the visiting team in the Champions Cup knockout match, which was the one that won the first round 2-2, but was eventually eliminated by Milan.

In Manchester United's main lineup, defenders Evra and Vidić, as well as midfielders Carrick and Scholes, were dragged down by the wheel battle. The frequent injuries caused by excessive fatigue have greatly weakened the power of the Red Devils. The "spring crash", which only happened to Arsenal in the past, is now repeated in Manchester United.

The Lord's lament for the end of the crossbow is overflowing: "Park Zhixing is the kind of player who is born tireless, but after the substitute came out, I could see that he was extremely tired last night."

Ferguson also praised Porto's performance. They behaved as I expected. We watched their match with Atletico Madrid, and they played the exact same football in that game.

Speaking of the second away game, Ferguson admitted that it would be very difficult. There is no doubt that the game in Portugal will be a difficult game, but we know what needs to be done at that time.

"No British team has ever won there, so it will be difficult, but we are used to being the first. We need to be the first again, because we have to win."

Li Yu also stood up to cheer for the team for the first time. "It's not that Porto is so strong, but they are very lucky. They happened to meet a Manchester United that is different from before. In the second round, in fact, we didn't go to the Dragon Stadium to create any miracle and play the level that Manchester United should have. To defeat the opponent!"

Manchester United No. 9 is still agreed by many fans. In their opinion, when Manchester United performed normally in the second half, it was still very threatening, but such a scene did not last until the whole second half. After all, Manchester United players have reached a period of fatigue in terms of physical or psychology, one less league game. The lead of 4 points is actually a 7-point advantage. At worst, the additional 3 points Manchester United will not be needed. Let the players recover the time of a game. Manchester United still has hope!

However, there are still different voices coming out. Maybe the Spaniard who has just renewed his contract with Liverpool is right. Maybe the Lord is busy dealing with Liverpool's approaching challenge, ignoring the opponent's attention to Manchester United's defense and lack of physical fitness.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the Porto midfield has always maintained a high speed throughout the game, emphasizing the success rate of both passing and stealing. These are all clearly demonstrated by Benitis to Ferreira three weeks ago. May I ask, how can Ferguson not be depressed?

I was forced to draw 2-2 at home. How many chances are there to qualify in the away game?

The history of the Champions Cup gives 12.5% of the answer.

In the 2002 semi-finals, Manchester United were eliminated by Leverkusen 1-1 away from home, and the goalscorers were Keane and Neuville.

In the 1/8 final of the 2005/06 season, Ajax and Wanderers were eliminated by Inter Milan and Villarreal respectively. In the 2006/07 season, Inter Milan and Bayern were eliminated by Valencia and Milan. In addition, Atletico Madrid was killed by Porto this season, 6 times in succession and 2 in the first round. The home team, which was tied by 2, was completely destroyed.

Even if even the qualifiers are included, there are only three of the 23 precedents.

Who is

? Unfortunately, it's still Porto.

In the third qualifying round of the 2001/02 season, Porto was tied 2-2 by Zurich Grasswflies at home, and the away game was 3-2 to complete the reversal -- it was Deko who scored the winning goal.

In the 2004/05 season, which was also the third round of the preliminaries, Juventus was tied at home by Sweden's Jurgaden. Fortunately, Trezeguez scored twice and reversed 4-1. The other was in the first round of the 2002/03 season preliminaries, in which the amateur group Maltese Irish defeated Ireland's Seyberlin.

In order to give Manchester United a little confidence, back to 1992, out of 36 precedents, only 5 unlucky home teams could come back.

In the first round of knockout matches in the 1978/79 season and 1982/83, the Czech Republic's Brno and the Scottish Celtics can reverse Hungary's new Pace and giant Ajax respectively.

In the quarter-finals of the 1976/77 season, Menxing beat Bruges 1-0 away. In the quarter-finals of the 1958/59 season, the Bern youth and the former East German Karl Marx State Club had a total score of 2-2 in the two rounds, and the Bernians advanced through the play-offs. Obviously, Manchester United now has no chance to play the third game.

In the past eight successful reversals, there is basically a huge gap between strength and weakness, and the strong home team is forced to exert its due strength in the away game. But look at the current Manchester United, next week's Dragon Stadium, without Ferdinand and Evans, do you expect to find the answer in Porto, which has created a miracle of reversal?
