Chapter 420 Some Are Happy and some Are Worried

3:1.

"The first half was a crazy score. Manchester United beat the Rangers to a pulp at home. Looking at this situation, more goals can be scored by the end of the game."

In the 40th minute, Ferguson broke into the right rib of the penalty area and was suspected of being tackled by Van der Sar, but the referee refused to award a penalty kick. Ferguson led his teammates to surround the referee, and then the referee directly gave him a yellow card.

Typical of losing and losing again.

McGleish kept shaking his head on the sidelines. If the game continues like this, there will be no hope. If the first round is over, the second round will be meaningless.

Rangers players who had no experience in the Champions League knockout rounds soon suffered another blow.

In the 42nd minute, Rodriguez shoved Fletcher away in the midfield and he was also given a yellow card. Fletcher fell to the turf and couldn't get up for a while.

Now it was Sir Alex's turn to widen his eyes.

Damn, is another one injured? If Fletcher comes on again, Manchester United will really have no one available...

Fortunately, Fletcher's body was not that fragile. He stood up again and continued to participate in the battle.

Cristiano Ronaldo stood in front of the free kick and stared at the goal seriously. It looked like he was going to take a direct kick. He lengthened his running distance and looked like he was going to hit a kick from 35 yards away. The Rangers players all covered their crotches. The moment Ronaldo released the ball, everyone was dumbfounded.

Ronaldo didn't pass the ball at all!

Instead, he sent out an ecstasy kick...

Dong Fangzhuo stood out from the wall in an instant, turned to the right, followed the ball into the penalty area, and immediately hit the goal with his left foot.

Boom——

His left-footed volley from 15 yards on the left side of the penalty area hit the near corner of the goal.

Wattles reacted quickly, using his hands and feet, and finally succeeded in stopping the ball with his right thigh.

Rodriguez quickly cleared the ball with a big kick, but it still fell to the feet of the Manchester United player. Park Ji-sung knocked the ball across the middle from the left to Carrick. Carrick advanced more than five meters and then stuffed the ball. It was given to Rooney. Rooney didn't stop the ball and played it directly to Ronaldo. Ronaldo shot angrily from the edge of the penalty area!

The ball hit center back Giljakos and flew out of the baseline. The referee ended the game without even giving a corner kick.

3:1, Manchester United led at halftime. In the locker room, Ferguson did not dare to be careless. He gave many special instructions to several midfielders, asking them to control the rhythm of the game more and not to get carried away in the game and push the game to extremes.

When the game resumed, Ferguson had Rossi warming up on the sidelines. Ferguson himself didn't believe the team would have any surprises at home.

"McGleish's team will not be considered a failure if they can score another away goal. If there are two away goals, it means there is still a chance to return home. If it is one? Then basically they are not in the top eight. What happened?" Lineker analyzed.

And McGleish definitely didn't want to just surrender and go back to Scotland. In the second half, he once again forced the team to attack.

Of course, this may also leave Manchester United with more counterattack opportunities and greater space.

In the 50th minute, the Rangers finally got a corner kick. Lowencrantz took a corner kick from the right. French defender Rodriguez headed the ball 5 yards in front of the goal under the cover of his teammates, but the bloated Manchester United It was difficult to get the ball upright in the penalty area, and the ball went slightly far.

Manchester United slowed down their attacking pace but stuck to the midfield. This made it difficult for the Rangers, who had relatively simple tactics, to advance the ball into the frontcourt. Manchester United had too many players in the midfield and backfield, and only pushed Dong Fangzhuo to the front.

In the 62nd minute, the Rangers failed to attack, but Carrick successfully intercepted the ball in the middle. Carrick passed the ball over the top to find Dong Fangzhuo. Although the two central defenders of the Rangers pinched Dong Fangzhuo from both sides, Dong Fangzhuo still broke into the penalty area. The left side fought with them until the end.

After that, the Rangers still didn't get a good shooting opportunity, and Sir Alex finally decided to make a substitution on the sidelines.

He replaced Dong Fangzhuo with Rossi and began to prepare for the League Cup final.

After Rossi came on the field,

Playing Rooney's position, and Rooney was pushed to the center position.

Rossi's size has no advantage at all against the tall Rangers players, but this little guy is very confident and has sneaky skills with his feet. He is not afraid of his opponents at all.

After coming up, he stole the spotlight from Ronaldo on the right. After the ball came to his feet, he was always able to create a threat on the left. Twice he sent wonderful passes to Rooney in the middle, but unfortunately Rooney failed to follow up.

After all, Rossi still lacks the tacit understanding to cooperate with his first-team teammates.

Not long after, Ronaldo was also replaced by O'Shea...

In the 82nd minute, Rossi unexpectedly threw a stunning cow's tail from the left, which made the Manchester United fans at the scene climax. The cow's tail passed the opponent's right back and then passed in. Pena stretched out his right foot backwards and tried to juggle He made a clearance, but the ball hit his outside foot and deflected into his own door.

With this own goal, Manchester United changed the score to 4:1!

McGleish's team finally gave up resistance and no longer wanted to do anything offensively, and Ferguson, in order to seek stability, did not let the team continue to destroy the opponent's defense.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Glasgow Rangers 4:1 at home and entered the quarterfinals with one foot.

The home fans cheered loudly. Manchester United still achieved a big victory at home even though they were short of major players. Who wouldn't be overjoyed? Although in theory, the Rangers still have a chance to reverse the situation, but given the strength of the Rangers, can they do it? ? Even if it means preventing Manchester United from scoring a goal on the road.

"Manchester United won 4:1 at home and advanced to the quarter-finals." The Manchester Evening News made no secret of their joy. "In the case of injuries, Manchester United was able to achieve such results, which completely surpassed everyone. Surprisingly, Manchester United can now concentrate on preparing for the League Cup final. No surprise, with their current state, winning the League Cup will not be a problem."

Of course, it is naturally impossible for each of the four Premier League teams competing in the Champions League to get the scores and results they want.

Some are happy and some are worried!

Liverpool, which was locked in the FA Cup with Manchester United last weekend, cried in the away game and lost 0:1 to Villarreal. Maybe Liverpool paid too much to face Manchester United and lost the game away from home.

Of course, losing a goal away from home is not the end of the world. They have plenty of chances to make a comeback when they return home.

Arsenal relied on Henry's stunning solo breakthrough at the Bernabeu to win 1:0 against Real Madrid.

There is another quarter-final match tomorrow between Chelsea and Barcelona at home. The eyes of the whole world are on this game. This game is considered to be an early stage of this year's Champions League final...
