Chapter 72 Chaotic Manchester United
Florence took the lead, which made Manchester United panic. After ten minutes of continuous attack, they failed to knock on the gate of Florence. As a result, Florence scored a goal with its first threatening attack.
Is it going to lose again?
This idea flashed through the minds of all Manchester United players, but they were quickly thrown aside. Who are they?
But the famous Red Devils Manchester United!
The last time Fiorentina was able to win was entirely due to luck. In the eyes of these big Red Devils, Fiorentina is at best a group of nouveau riche hillbillies.
But the problem now is that even if they only have three axes, when they come up to fight, the first ax strikes down, and Manchester United can't parry it.
If Manchester United continues to seek stability now, it is obviously impossible. The score is behind and they can only attack. At this time, the second disadvantage of Ferguson's arrangement of Giggs' appearance appeared. It's an attack, but I can't attack it.
Ferguson sent Giggs in the lineup. He originally hoped to use the experience of a veteran to help sort out the midfield and ensure possession of the ball. But the biggest problem now is that Giggs is under pressure from Fiorentina players. , and can only choose to pass back, which basically does not help the team's offense.
In the 16th minute of the game, there was another loophole in Manchester United's defense. After Mutu took the ball from the right, he quickly cut in and volleyed with his left foot 20 meters away from the goal. Going out of the near post, Van der Sar roared loudly, expressing his dissatisfaction with the team's defense.
Evra, who should have been staring at Mutu just now, evaporated, and Giggs' defense was not in place, allowing Mutu to get a chance to shoot. Although he failed to score, the overall routine of this attack has been completely broken. Out.
For Fiorentina's corner kick, Beckham drove directly to the back point. Degan overpowered Ferdinand and jumped high to head the goal, which was higher than the goal crossbar.
Fiorentina continued to put pressure on Manchester United. Most of the time, Manchester United could only threaten Fiorentina's goal through set kicks. In the 23rd minute of the game, Ryan Giggs took a corner kick from the left. Jin Maoluo was 8 meters in front of the goal. The ball was high, and including this shot, Jin Maoluo took 6 of Manchester United's first 8 shots by himself.
In the next game, Fiorentina firmly controlled the midfield. Manchester United had difficulty finding a breakthrough. Ferguson on the sidelines was also frowning. Today's Fiorentina made him completely incomprehensible. He originally thought that Fiorentina would choose to defend and counterattack. After all, the previous few games This is true of the game, Fiorentina, but today Fiorentina showed the world a completely different side of them, attacking, attacking, non-stop attacking.
The most surprising thing is that Fiorentina, who never paid much attention to ball control before and only emphasized the speed of offensive advancement, has played control today, and Fiorentina's control tactics are even better than Barcelona, which pursues kk.
In the 38th minute, Montolivo made a pass to Digan in the penalty area. Ferdinand performed a thrilling "scorpion wagging" to make a clearance before Digan got the ball. The fans in the stands saw this scene, Can't help but let out an exclamation.
In the forty-fifth minute, Degan took advantage of his speed to overpower Ferdinand. He broke into the penalty area and made a low pass from the left. The shot was cleared first by Vidic.
At the end of the first half, the two teams entered the intermission. Ferguson made a decisive substitution and replaced Anderson with Carlos Tevez.
But Ferguson had a good idea, but when the game restarted, the effect was not obvious. Tevez had an impact, but facing the iron gate composed of Kompany and Thiago Silva, his The impact force is simply useless.
Seeing that one trick didn't work, Ferguson made another change, allowing Ronaldo to move to the center, and Rooney changed to the winger's position. This is done in the hope that through Golden Mauro's skills and speed, he can overwhelm Fiorentina's frontal defense.
But in this way, Manchester United has no orthodox center at all. Although Ronaldo's personal ability is very strong, his characteristics need to have enough sprint space to be able to play out. Once caught in a positional battle, standing up is obviously not Ronaldo is good at it, and the initiative of the game is still in the hands of Florence.
Three minutes into the second half, Modric sent a through pass from the middle, Degan sprinted from the left, cut into the penalty area and tricked Ferdinand with two consecutive spikes. At 7 meters in front of the goal, he shot from a small angle with his right foot and was knocked down by the brave Van der Sar He blocked it with his feet.
In the 50th minute, Giggs was intercepted again in the midfield. Fiorentina quickly launched a counterattack and went straight into the penalty area. Digan broke into the penalty area and hit the goal directly after receiving the ball. The ball hit the post and bounced off the baseline. Fiorentina missed a goal Opportunities to expand the score.
Fiorentina finally received a reward in the sixty-fifth minute of the continuous attack. Degan broke through after taking the ball from the left side of the penalty area, and was hooked by Ferdinand. The referee immediately blew his whistle and awarded a free kick to Fiorentina.
In this position, Degan was also very sure of scoring the ball, but he still called Beckham over.
"David! How about you play this ball?"
Beckham was taken aback, and his first thought was to refuse. Although he had left Manchester United for many years, his feelings for Manchester United had never changed. Still can't pass the barrier in my heart.
But facing Digan's gaze, Beckham hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement. Now that he is wearing the Viola shirt, he has no other choice.
Moreover, Beckham has long been prepared in his heart. This test must be passed sooner or later, but it is only a matter of time. In the game, one cannot be influenced by emotions.
"David Beckham is standing in front of the ball, is he going to take the free kick himself?"
When people saw this scene, they all became excited. Everyone knew the status of Manchester United in Beckham's heart. Now facing his old club, Beckham would personally take a free kick.
Back then, Beckham's full moon scimitar had contributed countless times to Manchester United, but now Beckham wants to fight back and use his best free kick to break through his old club's goal.
This game is really getting more and more interesting!
Standing in front of the football, waiting for the referee's whistle, Beckham looked at the tense Manchester United players standing in front of the wall of people. It's about to befall Manchester United.
Take a deep breath!
Beckham calmed himself down, glanced at the goal, the distance from the wall, and put aside all distracting thoughts.
Ferguson on the sidelines couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He was very aware of Beckham's free kick. What worried him most was, if Beckham scored the goal, what would the media say after the game?
The referee's whistle has sounded!
Beckham lowered his head, took two steps towards the run-up, then slammed his left foot on the ground, swung his right leg, and drew a bow to shoot an arrow. With all his strength, he volleyed and hit the bottom right side of the football directly. The football flew into the air in an instant. He got up, with a violent rotation, and flew towards Manchester United's goal.
Even though Manchester United's defensive players jumped up with all their strength, they still failed to touch the football. Van der Sar made a judgment in advance and moved towards the left side of the goal.
After the football passed the goal, it fell rapidly. Although Van der Sar's judgment was accurate, the speed of the ball was too fast, and the angle was very tricky. It aimed directly at the upper left corner of the goal and flew over.
"l!"
A roar was broadcast in countless live broadcast rooms. The Fiorentina fans in the stands were completely crazy when they saw the goal, while those Manchester United fans were dumbfounded. They didn't know what to do at this time?
In the past, every time Beckham sent such a wonderful free kick and directly scored the classic shot, it was their happiest moment, but now, his heart is full of bitterness.
After confirming that the goal had been scored, Beckham was taken aback for a moment. He felt that he should celebrate. After all, it was his first time to score in the Champions League final, but for some reason, he couldn't be happy.
Killed his own belief with his own hands!
This feeling made Beckham's heart extremely heavy. He just stood there in a daze, and all his teammates rushed towards him.
"2:0! Beckham's direct free kick helped Fiorentina gain a two-goal lead. I believe that the most complicated mood is Beckham himself! His goal is likely to completely kill this team. The only difference is that the previous benefit was Manchester United, but this time Beckham stabbed his beloved team with his own hands!"
"Be happy, David! It's normal, as long as you're playing football, you'll always have to pass this!"
Hearing that, Beckham just nodded numbly. He had imagined such a scene countless times. At that time, he thought that as a professional player, he might be able to face it calmly, but when this moment really When he arrived, he realized that he was not that strong. Especially when he saw the depressed expressions of the Manchester United players opposite, Beckham couldn't help but feel sour in his eyes.
Perhaps from now on, Beckham really wants to say goodbye to everything in the past!
