Chapter 184 What I Threw Was Not a Bone

In front of Milan's big stars, Rooney turned into a young melon, and his aura in big scenes disappeared...

The referee blew the halftime whistle.

But the score was still 0:0. Although Milan had an absolute advantage, it still failed to score. Manchester United had two or three good scoring opportunities, but they were squandered by Rooney and Ronaldo.

Dong Fangzhuo got one chance, but he created it himself. At other times, he had no chance to shoot. However, the ball he missed to Rooney in the last minute was beautiful, but it was a pity that Rooney's leg was weak.

"Many people believe that Rooney was born for the big scenes. Before facing AC Milan, Rooney himself admitted that a major motivation for him to join Manchester United was the opportunity to play against European giants. In his debut at Manchester United, he played against the European giants. Fenerbahce scored a hat-trick in the Champions League group stage, which made people marvel at his genius. But after that, he rarely made any achievements in European competitions."

"Obviously he didn't do enough in the first half. You know, the player who was focused on in the first half was not him, but the Chinese Dong. Behind Dong was the Milan defense led by Maldini and Nesta, but he did not Not lost in the big scene, he created a good scoring opportunity for both Ronaldo and Rooney, but neither of them seized it, especially Rooney. His position was so free that he basically faced cards. It’s just a blessing, but he still didn’t perform as well as he should have.”

Rooney was criticized by Lineker, who believed that Rooney did not play to his own worth and level. Then he also mentioned Cristiano Ronaldo: "Ronaldo seems to be following Kaka. Kaka made several long-distance runs during the game and did it very reasonably. Ronaldo thinks he can do the same, so he has to play the same way, but The effect was obviously not as good as Kaka, but the attack in the last minute was good and he chose to pass the ball to Dong at the first opportunity."

"As for Dong, he is calm enough, but he can also be more bold and try, like his first and only shot."

"However, AC Milan's 4321 formation effectively contained Manchester United's offense. Coupled with the visiting team's superior ball control skills, Manchester United could not organize a smooth offensive for a long time. At the same time, Milan, which has mastered the initiative in the midfield, basically The connection between Scholes, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney and Dong was cut off, and Dong's space for movement was compressed to a very small space. He was often in a difficult position and his several attempts to get the ball were destroyed in advance by the opponent."

What Lineker mentioned happened to be what Ferguson mentioned in the dressing room. The two people unexpectedly had similar views.

Ferguson rarely used a hairdryer to motivate the team. After all, this Manchester United is very young. He has no idea what level he can play in today's game, but no matter what, the young players can definitely play in this game. I learned a lot here, which will definitely be of great benefit in the future.

second half,

Ferguson has already let Giggs and Ruud van Nistelrooy warm up on the sidelines. He will give young players opportunities, but he will also not forget the veterans on the bench. The game against Milan is a game that requires patience and will. It will not be like Like in the Premier League, neither side can afford to lose.

Giggs will definitely play on the left, but I don't know whether to replace Rooney or Fletcher. After all, Ferguson will consider the 4-4-2 formation and the role of Ruud Ruud.

This is very contradictory. If Rooney is replaced, it means that Ruud van Nistelrooy may not play, because the combination of Van Nistelrooy and Dong Fangzhuo is not good. If Fletcher is replaced, it may mean that Dong Fangzhuo must be replaced. If Rooney cannot find his form in the second half, Ferguson is more likely to replace Rooney.

On the Milan side, Costacurta, Ambrosini and Serginho are all warming up. However, with Ancelotti's character, he will not send them on immediately, but just prepare in advance. However, Serginho may get more playing time.

At the beginning of the second half, both sides became cautious again and were not eager to attack, especially Milan, who seemed to be asleep again?

In the first ten minutes of the second half, both sides had almost no offense!

Milan has never been in a hurry, and it is useless for Manchester United to be anxious because they have too few chances to win the ball. In fact, lowering the offensive and defensive rhythm is a good thing for both teams. Milan can not spend too much energy, and Manchester United can also reduce mistakes.

But ten minutes later, the rhythm was picked up by Keane. Keane, who was exhausted on defense in this game, rarely provided help to the frontcourt attack, but his sudden through ball in the 57th minute still gave him an instant advantage. Milan pose a huge threat.

After receiving his through ball, Rooney chose to knock back when facing Cafu. Dong Fangzhuo pulled back to respond, but was violated by Gattuso and fell to the ground. Dong Fangzhuo thought he could play more comfortably after escaping from the clutches of Nesta and Maldini, but he didn't expect Gattuso to be thinking about him.

This was also the new tactic that Ferguson introduced at halftime, allowing Dong Fangzhuo to be more flexible in his movement and drive Milan's defense at any time, but he was killed by Gattuso as soon as he came out.

"Gattuso's foul was a bit random. He was bullying Manchester United because no one took a free kick." Lineker shouted as he stood in front of the penalty spot. "What if David Beckham was on the court?" Go ahead, Gattuso will definitely not play so casually, he will definitely weigh Beckham's scimitar."

In the current Manchester United team, there is really no player with outstanding free kick skills. Even Rooney has become the number one candidate for taking set kicks.

It's just that his free kick hit the wall and did not pose an actual threat to Milan.

At this time, Ruud van Nistelrooy has almost finished his warm-up and has begun to take off his jacket, which means that he may be playing soon. I wonder if you are stimulated by this reason? Rooney has become a lot more active.

He could only vent to Cafu. In the 63rd minute, Rooney ate Cafu alive from the left. Cafu obviously suffered a disadvantage in turning around. The young Rooney was not afraid of his little moves at all and crossed from the sideline.

For Dong Fangzhuo, it was too difficult to respond to Rooney's pass.

Although he rarely got the ball in this game, he never stopped to fight with Nesta. It was a purely physical confrontation. Dong Fangzhuo felt that Nesta was quite difficult to deal with. Other central defenders only attacked when the opponent had the ball. Staring at the opponent's forward, but not Nesta. Nesta is always staring at him like a ghost, not letting Dong Fangzhuo escape from his marking range unless Dong Fangzhuo is far away from the penalty area.

However, no matter how awesome the defender is, he cannot be so focused for ninety minutes, especially when there is one more person beside Dong Fangzhuo!

When Rooney got the ball on the left, Cristiano Ronaldo also rushed into the penalty area. He appeared next to Nesta. At the right time, Dong Fangzhuo and Cristiano Ronaldo attracted Nesta and Maldini at the same time.

With Ronaldo on the side to cover, Dong Fangzhuo instantly felt that he had an opportunity. He first leaned hard against Nesta, and then suddenly fled outside the penalty area. Ronaldo used this to block him, trying to cut off Nesta's defense against Dong Fangzhuo.

However, he ignored Maldini.

Maldini's presence in this game has never been high, but he will always appear when he is needed, and it is the same now. In front of Maldini, the little minds of these two little guys seemed to be completely absorbed by him. In control, Ronaldo did not escape from his grasp at all.

When Ronaldo wanted to get in between Dong Fangzhuo and Nesta, Maldini rushed in before him, and instead cut off the connection between Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo!

Farke! While Ronaldo was cursing in his heart, Rooney's cross ball was already coming, a half-high ball!

At the same time, when Dong Fangzhuo took a circuitous route in the middle, Nesta pressed forward step by step and did not let Dong Fangzhuo escape at all. However, Nesta's pace was never as fast as Dong Fangzhuo's!

Dong Fangzhuo first turned to the left with a single step, but then suddenly reversed his body and rushed to the right back into the small penalty area! When Nesta was alert, although she turned around, she was still one step slower than Dong Fangzhuo.

At that moment, Dong Fangzhuo turned around 15 meters in front of the goal and shot with his left foot!

Dida!

It's amazing, a dog-paddle-like swoop! Incredibly fast.

He actually threw the ball shot by Dong Fangzhuo into his arms without any accident!

Damn it, what I threw was not a bone...

you you you……
