Chapter 212 Big Victory over Milan

AC Milan has little chance of turning over away from home, but Manchester United is still very serious about preparing for the game.

Li Yu and Rooney are also discussing possible free kicks in the game.

The two of them plotted for a long time and were very satisfied with the agreed plan, but when it came to the game, they found that they could not use any so-called plan at all. AC Milan soon fell behind and disarmed!

Manchester United won 3-2 away in the first round. The Red Devils have been promoted after winning the first round of the European game. The Champions League has won five consecutive victories against the Italian team at home. The most recent Italian team that won here is AC Milan. Since then, Manchester United has been unbeaten for 23 consecutive games at home in the UEFA Champions League, until it lost to Bei in the group stage this season. Sittas. Brown and Giggs were absent due to injury, and Carrick was suspended, but Rooney recovered from injury in time and Li Yu appeared in the starting position, and captain Gary Neville beat Raphael to play.

AC Milan eliminated Manchester United four times before, but except for the 1-0 victory in March 2005, the other three away games were lost, including a 2-3 loss in the first leg of the 2007 UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Milan must win 2 goals, or play a higher one-goal victory than 3 to 2. The last time Manchester United lost so at home was 1 to 4 to Liverpool on March 14 last year, and the European game dates back to the 2-3 loss to Lako in 2001. Not only did Pato miss the game, but Nesta was also absent due to a knee injury in training. Bonera played as a central defender, giving up the right side to Abat, and Jankulovsky replaced the injured Antonini in the league. Beckham returned as an opponent for the first time after leaving Manchester United, but only sat on the bench. Former gunner Flamini became the right-back, and Sedorf returned as a substitute.

In the first 143 seconds of the game, Valencia succeeded in shoveling Jankulovski on the right side. Rooney got the ball in the middle and then played with Valencia's kicking wall. He turned around 15 meters in front of the goal and made a low shot with his left foot and missed the right post. In the 6th minute, Van der Sar kicked off, Park Ji-sung headed the ball, Rooney turned around to get rid of Bonera and volleyed 22 meters in front of the goal. A minute later, Neville's left foot volleyed across the crossbar 25 meters from the door on the right side.

Milan almost scored in the 8th minute. Pirlo made a free kick on the right side. Nani nodded in front of the ball but rubbed it to the middle. Ronaldinho headed the ball 11 meters in front of the goal and pressed the right post! In just one minute, Thiago Silva made an accurate long pass in the midfield. Huntelaar inserted behind the defense to receive it, but he did not hit directly in the air. As a result, the ball was not unloaded, and Van der Sar confiscated the ball. In the 10th minute, Nani's volley from 22 meters from the goal on the left side was blocked by Abbiati. He opened a corner kick on the left side, and Vidic headed high 9 meters in front of the goal.

Rooney won the first prize in the 13th minute! Neville passed the accurate arc ball diagonally on the right side. Rooney grabbed in front of Bonela and shook his head into the lower left corner 9 meters in front of the goal, 1-0! Manchester United led 2-2 in total, with Rooney scoring nearly 9 goals and 8 headers.

This goal is a great blow to the morale of the Italians. Originally, it did not have much advantage after the opening, but now it has become a half-time offensive and defensive exercise.

Manchester United players took turns to stage a shooting show, Li Yu vigorously hit the goal, and Dida flew to save.

In Rooney's penalty area, the volley showed a second opening, slightly out of the goal range.

It was so passive that Leonardo stood on the sidelines and frowned, as if there was nothing he could do.

Milan can only turn over after scoring at least 3 goals. This is at Old Trafford. At this time, even his head coach may not have any thoughts on promotion.

Rooney and Li Yu also wanted to play the negotiated free kick tactics, but until the end of the first half, AC Milan did not give them this opportunity. There were a lot of shots, but none of Milan's defenders gave out the free kick in front of the penalty area.

The first half ended at 1:0, and the side changed sides and fought again.

Leonardo replaced Bonella with Sisdorf, and Ambrosini retreated to play at the central defender, but only 53 seconds in the second half, Manchester United expanded the score! Pirlo made a cross pass from the left side of the midfield, and Thiago Silva, who came forward to assist, stopped the ball out of control. Nani intercepted the ball from the left side and rushed into the right instep of the cross. Ambrosini couldn't catch up. Rooney, who was out of the middle, drove into the empty goal with his right foot 13 meters in front of the goal, 2-0, and Manchester United's total score was 5 Leading by 2, this goal completely killed the suspense. This is Rooney's 19th goal in 51 Champions League games, and the total individual goals this season has increased to 30.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL, Rooney, Rooney sent a wonderful goal!" The live DJ roared hard.

The whole Manchester United fans are also celebrating.

The Italians also lost their temper. The second half of the beginning is undoubtedly their nightmare, which is just the beginning.

On the sidelines, Beckham began to warm up on the sidelines and immediately won the applause of Manchester United fans. After nearly 10 years, the former blonde handsome man has become today's fashionable mature man, but the only thing that has changed is the love of Beckham and Manchester United fans for each other.

Beckham once said that he could only join one club when he returned to the Premier League, that is, Manchester United, because he could not represent another team against Manchester United.

Manchester United fans have also not forgotten their No. 7 in their eyes. Many fans even shouted with tears in their eyes, "David, we will always love you!"

Manchester United continued to expand its results in the 59th minute. Park Ji-sung inserted the ball in front of the front court, and Valencia knocked back on the right side. The unmarked Scholes pretended to shoot, but in fact it went straight to the right side of the penalty area. Li Yu shoveled into the far corner of the small penalty area as promised.

3 to 0! Manchester United led 6 to 2 in total!

Subsequently, Beckham replaced Abate, and the fans stood up and applauded.

Ferguson also made a substitution adjustment, and Owen changed Rooney!

The old man began to expose his strength for the next game. There was no suspense in this game. Replace Rooney and let him have a good rest. Don't let the knee injury worsen.

In the 68th minute, Scholes kicked the ball away after the whistle in Busaka and was warned by a yellow card. Then Inzaghi replaced Huntelaar. In the 70th minute, Flamini received Ronaldinho's response. He made a strong low shot with his right foot 30 meters in front of the door and was changed direction by Inzaghi's toe in the middle. Van der Sar was blocked with his foot very quickly! A minute later, Valencia's cross-shot from the front of the penalty area was blocked by Ambrosini.

Ronaldinho took down Raphael and got a yellow card, and Gibson replaced Scholes. In the 74th minute, Sedorf's left pass was pushed out by Ferdinand. Beckham fell to the ground without waiting for the ball. His right foot volley 22 meters in front of the goal was pulled out of the crossbar by Van der Sar! This time, the fans applauded Beckham. In the 81st minute, Beckham's cross hit Nani's hand. He made a free kick on the right side, and Ferdinand nodded his head to relieve the ball. In the 83rd minute, Nani's low pass from the left was missed by Valencia, and Gibson's volley 17 meters away from the goal missed the right corner. A minute later, Beckham's right cross was cleared by Vidic's barb, and Sedorf made a high shot, but Inzaghi was offside first.

Flamini kicked down Nani and was warned with a yellow card. In the 88th minute, Valencia's right pass was blocked, Park Ji-sung grabbed the interception in front of Ronaldinho, Raphael followed the oblique pass over Abbiati, Fletcher's back point 4 meters from the goal into the far corner, 4-0! The total score was rewritten to 7-2, which was Fletcher's first goal in 44 Champions League games. In the second minute of stoppage time, Beckham made a cross from the right, and Sedorf missed the ball. Inzaghi grabbed a shot from 3 meters in front of the goal, but the ball rubbed his left knee and deflected from the far post.

Manchester United finally advanced to the top 8 without any suspense.

4-0! Manchester United defeated their former Champions League nemesis AC Milan at Old Trafford. Previously, the two teams had played against each other eight times in the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League, and the maximum single-match score was 4-0. That still happened in 1958, when Milan washed Manchester United 4-0 at home, and 52 years later, the Red Devils, led by Sir Alex Ferguson, hit the Rossoneri with the same score of 4-0. For the first time in history, they stepped on Milan's body in the knockout stage of the Champions League and entered the next round.

The score of 4-0 is not only the largest score in the history of the two teams' Champions League match, but also Manchester United scored 7 goals in the two rounds, which is also the most goals scored by the final promoters in the history of the two teams' Champions League. Previously, Milan had a total score of 5-2 in the two rounds in the 1957-58 season; in the 06-07 season, the total score in the two rounds was 5-3 to eliminate Manchester United, but this time Manchester United eliminated Milan with a total score of 7-2, which is the biggest score gap between the two rounds in the history of the Champions League knockout match. The gap of a total of 5 goals in the two rounds is also the biggest loss of Milan in the two rounds in the knockout stage of the Champions League.

Since the establishment of the first UEFA Champions League in 1955, it took Manchester United 55 years to finally throw the hat that Milan would be eliminated by their opponents in the knockout stage into the Atlantic. This is the fifth time that the two teams meet in the knockout stage in the history of the Champions League. The Red Devils have eliminated their opponents for the first time in history. The wishes of the Lord and the legendary coach Busby finally came to an end at this moment.

In fact, the historical data before the game is very unfavorable to Milan. In the last 14 years of the history of the Champions League, only Ajax in 1996 reversed the away game in the second round when he lost at home in the first round. At that time, the Dutch team lost 0-1 at home to Pana Sinaikos, Greece in the first leg; but in the second round, Ajax defeated the home team 3-0 and successfully turned over with a total score of 3-1. But this time, Milan will undoubtedly encounter more difficult turnover, because they were scored three away goals by Manchester United at home in San Siro. 14 years ago, in Ajax, the Dutchman only needed to get a 1-0 score in the regular time of the away game to get at least a chance to play overtime; but today's visiting AC Milan at Old Trafford has to score at least 2 goals to have the possibility of turning over (such as 2-0). Of course, this is not easy to do. You know, Manchester United has not conceded a goal in the past six rounds of the home league.

Before the game, Ferguson said that Manchester United will not adopt conservative tactics to maintain a 3-2 lead. This is not Manchester United's style, but Manchester United must not lose the ball at the beginning, because that will give Milan the hope of a turnaround. In terms of platooning, the Lord used the 451 (also regarded as 4231) formation used by the strong team. This formation is both offensive and defensive, and very flexible. On the bench, the Lord also arranged three attackers, Owen, Diouf and Obedan, as well as Gibson, who was strong in attacking and defending. This is enough to prove that the Lord's platoon is not conservative. In fact, Manchester United defeated the Rossoneri with a more powerful attack. If it hadn't been for the Lord's early replacement of Xiao Pang, God knows if Xiao Pang can play a hat-trick again.

In the Champions League knockout stage, among the other nine giants in today's football, except for those who have never met Liverpool in the Champions League, the other eight giants have been defeated by Manchester United. AC Milan has become the last fortress for Manchester United to fight in the Champions League.

In the semi-finals of the Champions League in the 1967-68 season, Manchester United defeated Real Madrid with a total score of 4-3; in the Champions League semi-finals in the 07-08 season, Manchester United eliminated Barcelona with a total score of 1-0 and reached the final; in the 1998-99 season, Manchester United beat Real Madrid with a total score of 3-1 in the Champions League quarter-finals. Eliminate Inter and enter the semi-finals; in the 1998-99 season, Manchester United eliminated Juventus with a total score of 4-3 in the Champions League semi-finals and entered the final; in the 1998-99 season, Manchester United defeated Bayern 2-1 in the Champions League finals; in the 07-08 season, Manchester United went through a penalty kick in the Champions League final. They defeated Chelsea to win the championship; in the 08-09 season, Manchester United eliminated Arsenal 4-1 in the Champions League semi-finals.

defeating Milan today marks that Manchester United has defeated all the world giants except Liverpool in the Champions League, and the reason why they failed to defeat Liverpool is that the two sides have never met in the Champions League.

In the 06-07 season, Manchester United reached the top four in the Champions League; in the 07-08 season, Manchester United defeated Chelsea in the Champions League final to win the championship; in the 08-09 season, Manchester United once again entered the Champions League final, but lost 0-2 to Barcelona in the final and failed to defend its title; this season, Manchester United scored 7-2 Milan reached the quarterfinals with a big score.

Ferguson's team's performance in the Champions League in the last four seasons, even Barcelona and Chelsea can only look up to it (Barcaza's first three seasons are the top 16, the top four and the runner-up; Chelsea's first three seasons are the top four, the runner-up and the top four; whether Barcelona or Chelsea can finally enter the quarterfinals this season Uncertified).

If the record of Real Madrid and Milan is the most prominent in the history of the Champions League, it is no exaggeration to say that in the last four seasons, no team's record can be comparable to that of Manchester United. Despite losing Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez last summer, the Lord's leadership of Manchester United still created a small miracle. The civilian Manchester United is steadily heading for the double crown. There are still two months before the end of the season. For the Red Devils, everything is possible.

There is another noteworthy point in this game. A prince returned to his former kingdom this week. Although he was a little embarrassed, he was surprised to find that he was still loved by his subjects.

Yes, David Beckham, the idol of Old Trafford, went home, but he only kicked for 27 minutes.

Maybe his head coach Leonardo doesn't want Beckham to be everything in this game, or the Brazilian just wants Beckham to be a strange soldier on the bench. But everyone was surprised that Beckham did not appear in the starting 11.

The English forward could hardly help. When he came on the field, Manchester United had scored three goals. Beckham personally experienced the process of losing the fourth ball.

Although Beckham is still a fan. At the moment of playing, tens of thousands of cheers almost made him shed tears, it is still difficult for Beckham to imagine that the moment he returned to Manchester was a fiasco.

"It's a disappointing night because we lost the game, but it's always special to come back here." He said, "The reception of Manchester United fans to me is incredible, and I am very grateful to you. If this is my last competition at Old Trafford, I want to keep this memory with my fans. I hope Manchester United will win the championship. They deserve this championship.

Too much emotional words can only make people sad in vain.

Now it is the world of Rooney and Li Yu. Their three goals have made the whole Manchester crazy. But if Beckham is the old prince and Li Yu and Rooney are the new princes, then Ferguson is the king here.

This is Beckham's first return after many years of separation. But you can see that Beckham's defeat today is entirely because he fell in love with the wrong girl. Ferguson believes that Victoria is a misfortune and is not worthy of his prince.

So, a series of things happened that we are familiar with, the most famous of which Ferguson kicked Beckham in the face. It seems that Beckham with scars is more manly, but his wife doesn't think so.

Spain, the United States, Italy, Beckham's life is drifting, but he never returned to Manchester before this week. Perhaps, this idea is not a bad idea for life. It's frustrating to think about the rainy weather in Manchester.

But in the end, this week, he came back. The old boss and fans still seem to support him. Their love? Really? How much is it? Does he love them?

At the end of the game, when Beckham left the stadium, the fans threw him a Manchester United scarf, but it was not the kind commonly seen. It is a combination of green and yellow. It symbolizes that the club needs independence and opposes Glazer's greed.

After the game, someone asked Beckham if he wanted to resist Manchester United's new boss Glazer. Our hero was confused. "I don't know the meaning of this scarf." Yes, Beckham is just a fashionable young man who can play football. He also wants to support his family. Although it costs a little more, don't expect a father of three to have any revolutionary behavior. He didn't have it before, won't do it now, let alone in the future.

For Manchester United, compared with Beckham's other former club, Real Madrid, Manchester United is at least still running to the championship. As for Glazer, what a nuisance of Glazer? As long as there is a champion, do we need to get rid of anyone? Or, we just need Ferguson.
