Midfielder

One wrong move, the whole game is lost, not to mention that Manchester United has made countless mistakes. Ferguson stood on the sidelines and watched his players continue to run desperately, but the hope of winning has gradually moved away from Manchester United, although they only need to score one more goal to drag the game into overtime.

But what can it do if it drags into overtime? Even now, Manchester United still cannot take the initiative on the field, and Porto is the real master.

This is an unacceptable reality, but it is powerless to refute it, even if Ferguson has tried to change this embarrassing situation for Manchester United.

But from the beginning, all his calculations have failed. From the first game, Manchester United has never really taken the initiative.

Tactical arrangements, personnel adjustments, on-the-spot responses, player status, all of this, Manchester United has fallen behind Porto.

Those crazy Portuguese people want to win the game more than them. Even when they fall behind twice, they can still launch desperate attacks.

From the moment the game started, these Porto players never thought they would lose. It was this strong nerve that made them laugh to the end.

You know, those tough traits were once the backbone of Manchester United, but at this moment, they are facing this kind of toughness from the bones.

Although the game is not over yet, Manchester United can no longer muster up much courage to fight with their opponents, and even Ferguson himself has lost confidence.

No matter what excuses are used to justify, there is no way to cover up Manchester United's decline. This game has never been in their control.

Losing to the young man who is more than 20 years younger than him again, Ferguson is not as angry as in the last game. Maybe at this moment Ferguson has heard the footsteps of the pursuers behind him, so clearly. Maybe the world of football is no longer the world of him and the old French guy.

These young latecomers have gradually caught up, and old guys like him may no longer be the masters of the football world soon.

If that guy really wants to take charge of Chelsea next season, Ferguson really doesn't know what kind of challenge will be waiting for him at that time.

Maybe the competition between the two Premier League giants will become a Three Kingdoms story. The blue from London will become Manchester United's competitor in the league.

Under Ranieri's leadership, Chelsea can now hold Manchester United tightly. If it were the Portuguese, no one would know what would happen.

At least in these two games, Ferguson knew that he had not taken any advantage at all, and every step he took fell into the opponent's calculations.

Although the old Sir Alex Ferguson could attribute this to Lin Yi's beastly performance, Mourinho's on-the-spot response did make him feel pressured.

Calm, decisive, and keen sense, these qualities of a first-class coach are perfectly reflected in the Portuguese.

More importantly, when directing on the spot, he can adjust the emotions of the players on the field in the shortest time, and he is indeed very young.

Ferguson no longer knows what he has done when he was less than 40 years old, but at least he has not reached the peak of European football.

But that guy has done it. Who knows what he can do in the remaining years of coaching? Even Ferguson can't see his future clearly.

The score of 1:1 was very eye-catching, and the countdown on the big screen was reminding the old Scottish man that Manchester United was only one step away from being eliminated.

After three years of investment of nearly 130 million pounds, this was the result. Ferguson could now feel the bitter taste in his mouth.

"Maybe it's time to rebuild... I just don't know if the next builder will still be me." This is a helpless loss.

Although Ferguson's heart was full of frustration, he did not show it on his face. He still stood on the sidelines, shouting to urge the team's attack. Even though the intermittent attack on the field seemed very weak, the fans and players of Manchester United did not give up.

The score was behind, but Manchester United's diehard fans were still cheering for the team with shouts. At least in their opinion, Manchester United still had a chance.

Although the situation on the field was not dominant, these fans wearing Manchester United jerseys still believed that their Red Devils could create miracles!

This is the magic weapon of Manchester United in the Premier League. They have a hard bone that can never be broken. These fans believe in them and they can do it!

When the score was tied, Manchester United's momentum was indeed destroyed, but the shouts in the Old Trafford stadium made them start to attack again.

These guys don't want to give up yet, at least in such shouts, they don't want to give up, they want to defend Manchester United's last honor.

Even if they can drag this damn game into overtime, it's good, no matter what the final result is, at least they don't want to lose like this.

Van Nistelrooy was still desperately grabbing points under Carvalho's pull, although this guy desperately grabbed the header, and few people responded to the second landing point.

But at least the Dutchman is still working hard, he doesn't want to leave the Champions League field like this, and Giggs continued his side breakthrough when facing Bosingwa's shit plaster-like defense. This desperate Welshman is also making unremitting efforts.

The most active player of Manchester United on the field was Cristiano Ronaldo, who came on as a substitute in the second half. His breakthrough on the wing was the only performance that could win cheers from the fans.

Although Valente had already intercepted the kid fiercely, Ronaldo was like a chicken blood, and he used agile movements to break through continuously.

Ronaldo was holding back his anger in this game. He did not win the starting position, but he did not want to fail again in front of Lin Yi. He wanted to use such performance to prove to everyone that he was no worse than that kid, and he was not a substitute for Beckham. He was Cristiano Ronaldo.

Having such an idea made Ronaldo extremely crazy on the court. If Valente wanted to stop this kid, he might have to foul.

But Ronaldo, who was shoveled out of the sideline, still attacked Valente fiercely, which also won him applause from Old Trafford.

Although the three people on the Manchester United forward line fought hard, the pipelines behind them were completely blocked, especially Scholes, the organizer of the midfield, who was completely strangled by Maniche and Costinha. Maniche did not let the ginger head have a chance to get the ball easily.

Yellow card? NO, that extremely fierce guy is not afraid of anything. He would rather knock down his opponent than give Scholes a comfortable space to pass the ball.

In the midfield competition, Maniche has overturned Scholes several times. Although the referee showed a yellow card, Maniche still did his own thing.

Anyway, Mourinho gave Maniche such a task, to completely stare at this engine in the frontcourt of Manchester United, using all the means available.

For a stubborn guy like Maniche, this is an order. Unless he is sent off, he will not stop such intrusions.

Newcomers like Fletcher and Djemba can't help Scholes at this time. Their experience is pitiful.

More importantly, these two guys don't have such refined skills. They are more like pure engineers. If they want to do some delicate work, there is no chance.

This slightly rough technology allows Fletcher and Djemba to only provide some help to the frontcourt by passing the ball. Want to be a person? That's probably really dreaming.

Even if Lin Yi retreated to defend the two of them, it is estimated that these two guys would not be able to easily pass the ball, as they simply did not have the ability to break through.

Ferguson probably did not expect them to really do anything. With 30 minutes left in the second half, he replaced Djemba with Kleberson.

At this time, the old Sir Alex Ferguson did not want to consider any defensive issues. The midfielders were all guys with skills to pass the ball and break through.

However, after Kleberson came on the court, he was immediately entangled by Deco, and the two Brazilians fought on the court with great pleasure.

Mourinho's goal was to completely mess up the midfield. Anyway, what Porto wanted to do at this time was a quick counterattack.

Now it doesn't matter what the three midfielders are strangling. Manchester United only needs to score goals. If they can't counterattack, no matter how good the defense is, it's useless.

Fletcher was also replaced by Ferguson from the court with a frustrated face five minutes after Djemba left the court. With 25 minutes left in the game, Ferguson used up his last substitution and threw Solskjaer onto the field. Perhaps this was the last glimmer of hope for the old Sir Alex.

When the Norwegian baby-faced killer came on the field, the entire Old Trafford stadium cheered for him. Perhaps this was also the last hope of those fans.

Maybe at this point in the game, Ferguson was still looking forward to a miracle, just like the big reversal they performed in the 1999 Champions League final.

But putting the last hope of a comeback on a player who has been absent for nearly ten games, I really don’t know if his injured knee can withstand it.

But looking at his own bench, Ferguson probably couldn’t think of a better way. Although the Frenchman Saha was also on standby at all times, at such a decisive moment, Ferguson might trust those direct descendants more than an external mercenary, not to mention that the guy might not be useful.

It’s just that this mercenary was hand-picked by him. This may be the first time that Ferguson has denied his vision of people. The old man is a little confused.

Van Nistelrooy and Solskjaer played together on the forward line. This was Ferguson's last change, but Mourinho's reaction was also very fast. He immediately withdrew Alenichev and added a central defender to the back line to increase the defensive strength.

Maniche's position was also retreated deeper by him. Basically, Porto's formation of 3 defenders changed to a formation close to 5 defenders.

At the same time, he moved Lin Yi's position to the wing guarded by O'Shea, still putting pressure on Manchester United's defense on both sides. His last substitution was used in the 78th minute of the game, but Mourinho replaced McCarthy on the forward line with another forward.

In the attack, you must always plant threats to the opponent, especially at the last moment. Mourinho doesn't want any accidents, and he still wants to attack.

Dalley, the Brazilian who rested for half a month due to injury, came on the court at the last moment of the game, and he got a chance to score a single goal as soon as he came on the court.

As the team's top scorer, Dallay doesn't have the strong physical fitness of McCarthy, but his unique skill is flexible movement.

When Manchester United's full-line began to press forward, Dallay was left with a large space behind him, and Porto's counterattack was here.

Now Manchester United is worried that no one in their midfield can stand up and take over the rhythm of the game, but Porto has no such worries at all.

After Dallei came on the field, the first pass was from Lin Yi, and the black-haired kid once again became the focus of the whole stadium.

Because of Manchester United's massive forward pressure, Porto had already retreated most of its players to the midfield to start intercepting. It was here that Lin Yi intercepted Bart's pass. Not only did he intercept it, but he also pulled and tugged the ball with his feet, causing Bart to lose his balance.

Under the eyes of tens of thousands of people, Lin Yi once again showed his extremely weird lizard vision. At the center circle, Lin Yi forced the ball straight out from between Bart's legs. Brown and Gary Neville behind Bart didn't react at all.

A pass from nearly 40 meters behind, no one knew how the kid saw the gap. Anyway, when Brown reacted and turned back to chase, Dallei had already left him at least 5 meters away. The Brazilian rode away in the astonished eyes of tens of thousands of people.

The unfortunate Howard could only choose to attack at this moment, but with his height and weight, it was basically impossible to stop Dallei outside the penalty area.

It was purely a one-on-one between the striker and the goalkeeper, and the battlefield was outside the penalty area. At this time, Howard didn't even have the opportunity to reach out and intercept.

The Brazilian twisted his hips flexibly, shaking continuously, and a realistic fake move made Howard sit directly on the grass, and Howard's open hands didn't even catch Dallei's ankles, and he could only watch his opponent throw him away.

If equalizing the score is pushing Manchester United to the edge of the cliff, then overtaking the score is undoubtedly pushing the great Manchester United team into the abyss of hell.

When Dallei's shot drilled into the empty goal, the shouts of Old Trafford gradually disappeared, leaving only tens of thousands of Manchester United fans with dull eyes, their flags no longer waving, and in the TV broadcast camera, many people grabbed their hair tightly with their hands.

They couldn't believe what was happening, but the score on the big screen had been rewritten again. They were once again reversed by the Portuguese.

Just now they were still confident that their team could overtake again and enter the overtime with the same score, but at this moment, they were desperate.

The excited Dallei waved the corner flag frantically, and beside him was a group of equally crazy Porto players who completed the conquest.

Lin Yi did not participate in such celebrations. He just walked to the sidelines, stood quietly beside Mourinho, and pointed at those crazy guys and said.

"What we can do at home, we can do at Old Trafford as well. Remember what you said, and you must take us to Schalke."

Mourinho looked at the black-haired boy in front of him with a face full of sweat, and said nothing, but just patted Lin Yi's shoulder heavily with his hand.

There is no need to promise anything, they will keep winning until the end, they will definitely go to Schalke, where there is a game waiting for them.

2:1, there is no suspense about this score. In the last ten minutes left, Manchester United even had only one long shot.

Even if they could equalize or even overtake, it would be useless. Porto already had two away goals, and no miracle could happen.

Moreover, those Porto players did not give them this opportunity at all. From the beginning to the end of the game, Manchester United never controlled the situation.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the entire Old Trafford could only hear thousands of Porto fans celebrating wildly there.

"This is Porto's night. Manchester United's impact on the Champions League this time stopped in the knockout round of 16 to 8. I can only express regret."

This was the last sentence left by Manchester United's live commentator before leaving the microphone. He could only express regret, but he did not feel any surprise.

For Manchester United and Ferguson, this damn game means that they are going to usher in a season without any harvest, and they are truly empty-handed.

But this game was a carnival night for those Porto people. At the moment the game ended, they ran wildly on the field. Even Mourinho and his players at this time, waving the Porto flag wantonly in Old Trafford.

On the opponent's turf, defeating a traditional giant with a budget five times that of his own, Mourinho has done everything he set before the season.

Since he can do such crazy things, what else can't he do? I'm afraid no one dares to predict the future of Porto now.

Because the serious Mourinho and the crazy black-haired boy can make all the pre-match speculations completely empty talk.

Looking at the black-haired boy who threw the jersey on the stands, Ferguson pursed his lips helplessly. This is really a bastard joke made by God.

The little guy that Ferguson valued the most played two games in the way that Ferguson expected the most, but he killed Manchester United.

Damn, this joke is so fucking black. Ferguson now just wants to wish the teams in the quarterfinals good luck, because that little madman is not crazy enough.

Who will be the next unlucky person? I guess Ferguson will definitely say at this moment, it's none of my business, anyway, I have been hurt by that kid.

Perhaps Ferguson is most concerned about not only Lin Yi's defeat of his Manchester United team, but also how expensive this guy will be when summer comes? 20 million pounds? ? ? Ferguson can't say for sure now, maybe that will be a price that no one can imagine.

(5:0, um, I can only say that Real Madrid's midfield is too weak, especially Ramos, not only lost the game, but also lost face... Looking forward to the next meeting, anyway, Mourinho will not admit defeat easily, losing a game like this will only make this guy more crazy.)
