Star Coach

Chapter 298 The Last Moment

Seeing Hua Luo scoring, Ferguson stood up and danced, excited. This is the rhythm of the game I want.

"Hua Luo has grown up. He has the talent and mentality to become the number one player in football. He will definitely lead the revival of Manchester United. And Rooney, who is hardworking and uncomplaining. With the two of them here, I can throw away Ronaldinho, that disobedient guy. "Ferguson was very happy.

Manchester United has equalized the score and hopes are high.

At the last moment of the game, Manchester United will set off an offensive frenzy, which is not something that ordinary teams can resist. At the last minute of the 1999 Champions League, Manchester United scored two goals in a row to reverse the game. It was one of the most miraculous games in the history of the Champions League.

Reversal can bring powerful psychological hints to Manchester United players. They will become more courageous as they fight. Now, Manchester United has gained momentum.

Ferguson made a prompt decision and made a substitution immediately after Hua Luo scored.

Replaced the regular center Ruud van Nistelrooy and replaced him with Smith. Smith recently dyed his hair green and was very coquettish. He wore a lot of hairspray, which was the same brand as Hua Luo's.

He stood on the sidelines, glanced at Jiangshan from the corner of his eye, and his heart surged, "Coach Jiangshan, I'm going to play, and I won't show mercy. You have to be careful!"

Van Nistelrooy is the king of the small penalty area. In the penalty area, no one can stop him, but Milan obviously thought of a way to deal with him. Nesta and Stam took turns to greet him and pushed Van Nistelrooy outside.

Van Nistelrooy's passing ability is average and his defense is even worse. Facing Milan's passing control, he did nothing on the court. Ferguson's substitution is completely understandable and is also a tactical necessity. Given Jiang Shan's temper, he would probably have dropped Van Nistelrooy to the bench at halftime.

Ruud was very unhappy when he was replaced. Walking to the sidelines, he shook off Ferguson's hand without even looking at Smith, returned to his seat, covered his head with a towel, and looked ugly.

Smith jumped onto the field, full of passion. Manchester United fans loved their former rivals and gave Smith the warmest applause.

After Smith came on the field, he took the initiative to claim the defensive task and fight against Pirlo. He had just come on the field and was full of energy. Facing Pirlo who ran for most of the game, Smith had an obvious advantage. He can even defend Vogel.

"Two lunatics in the frontcourt, the game is really difficult to play." Jiang Shan looked a little ugly. Manchester United's frontcourt players have many tricks, and there is Giggs on the bench. That guy is also a top-notch technical player.

Sure enough, after Smith came on the field, there was an extra catfish in Milan's backcourt, constantly attacking Milan's backcourt defense, harassing Pirlo, and making it difficult for Milan to put his foot in the backcourt.

Increased offense, but Fletcher's physical fitness can still persist. His lean body is very durable and he constantly cuts Milan's offensive formation.

Another important point is momentum.

After Manchester United scored, they were in high spirits, like a victorious general, constantly attacking Milan's defense, robbing Milan's passes, and getting more and more opportunities. Milan was shocked and felt very uncomfortable.

Hot-blooded young man, Manchester United. Sure enough.

Ferguson was very satisfied with the team's state, especially after Smith came on the field, his running never stopped, he was conscientious and vigorous.

The more domineering Manchester United is, the more uncomfortable it becomes psychologically for Milan. They failed too many times in the Champions League. They were defeated by Monaco in the 2003 Champions League final, were reversed by Deportivo in the semi-finals in 2004, and were pinned to the ground by Liverpool in the 2005 Champions League final.

These failures all have psychological implications. The more critical the Champions League moment, the greater the psychological pressure on Milan players. They are afraid of failure and of history repeating itself.

Jiangshan had psychological counseling before the game, but the effect was limited. Their pace was obviously heavy, and their overall aura was not as good as Manchester United.

If Manchester United scores a goal at this time, Milan will undoubtedly lose. They do not have the mentality to make a crazy comeback. This is the team's psychological state formed over a period of time.

Jiang Shan has only been leading the team for a year, and he has not yet been able to instill in his players the belief that they must win when they meet gods and slay Buddhas.

Jiangshan was about to make a substitution. He didn't dare to bet on the players breaking out, so he immediately made a substitution, replacing Seedorf and replacing him with Inzaghi for a defensive counterattack.

"Little fox, he actually counterattacked. This is not easy to handle." Ferguson was directing the team. Seeing the opportunity of a dead ball, Jiang Shan immediately changed his tactics. "How many tactics did he change in this game?"

"He was as well prepared as I was. We were strong, and he was able to calm down and play defensive counterattack, which was amazing."

Manchester United fans kept shouting, "If you don't go crazy, you won't become a demon. They want to win the game."

Kaka took the ball and advanced towards the center at a very fast speed. Scholes suddenly stepped down and made a flying tackle.

The Kakalian flew up with the ball and landed heavily on the ground. He suddenly jumped up and rushed over angrily, wanting to fight. Honest people also have great tempers. Who says Kaka doesn't hit people? There are those who pinch people's necks.

Before Scholes could get up, Manchester United's Ferdinand rushed over and blocked the two men. "Calm down, everyone. Calm down."

Scholes was in the wrong and did not dare to take action. The referee thought about it and only awarded a yellow card and a set kick opportunity.

Ferguson is a little worried. It is not easy to replace Scholes. Manchester United needs a dispatcher in the midfield. Otherwise, if they lock the wings, they will be easily blocked by Milan. "In the summer, I am looking for a midfielder who can accurately position himself." Midfielders will become a scarce commodity in the future transfer market."

Jiang Shan is also considering the team's affairs. He wants to introduce wingers to enhance his assault ability. Milan's attack in the middle is strong, but both wings are weak and the formation is unbalanced, making it difficult to maintain long-term stability.

The set kick was taken with little threat. It was pushed out by Ferdinand and accidentally kicked out of bounds by O'Shea.

Ferguson continued to make substitutions, replacing two players in a row. O'Shea was replaced by Gary Neville. He had to fight hard at the critical moment, and he trusted the veteran more. Ronaldinho, who scored a goal, was replaced.

During the last period of time, Ronaldinho was very quiet. He was uncomfortable with Maldini's defense and was not very active in defense. Ferguson must be dissatisfied, so Giggs came on as a substitute.

After Ronaldinho came off the court, like Van Nistelrooy, he ignored everyone and sat on the bench with an ugly face.

Jiangshan also made substitutions at the same time, replacing the exhausted Vogel with Ambrosini, continuing to strengthen defense and aiming at the counterattack path on the left.

The friction between the two sides became more and more, and the game became intermittent, but overall Manchester United had the advantage in momentum. In the chaos, Manchester United was more likely to score, and they continued to squeeze Milan's defense line.

The combination of Rooney, Rooney and Smith was also powerful, and with Giggs, who had superb skills, the frontcourt combination was also coquettish.

Jiangshan asked Kaka to retreat slightly and play as a front midfielder, using his impact as a trump card. He had to stand out at critical moments.

There were five minutes left in the game, and with injury time, there were less than ten minutes left. The two sides tied at 2:2, with no winner or loser.

Will the 2006 Champions League final go into overtime?
