There is a dream called football

The huge cheers made everything inaudible. In the player tunnel, even if Rooney and Li Qiao were talking to each other in front of him, he felt like he couldn't hear them at all.

Then the Champions League theme song played, and when the players walked out of the tunnel, there were huge cheers and a visual impact. It felt so amazing.

Martin Taylor and Alan Smith in the commentary box were also excited because they had been looking forward to this game for a long time.

"Martin, I know you have been looking forward to this game for a long time. Is there anything you want to say now?"

"What I want to say is that this is a duel between the two best teams in Europe. I actually think this is a final that has come early. If it were not for the schedule, then I really hope that such a duel can appear in the final.

Not now."

"Haha, me too, and the TV station also attaches great importance to it and even sent two of us. You know, these commentary seats are very expensive."

"Haha, that's why I usually commentate alone, because I want to save the money for important games."

"Okay, let's get down to business, these are all jokes."

"Then let's first introduce the starting lineups of the two teams."

"I'll introduce you to Barcelona."

"The goalkeeper is Valdes."

"The defense line from left to right is Gianluca Zambrotta, Marquez, Milito and Abidal."

"I'll interrupt, this is the official position, but under normal circumstances, Abdal is on the left."

"The midfielder is Yaya Toure, a deep-lying midfielder, and then Xavi and Iniesta."

"A three-man midfield configuration."

"And the forward line is Deco, Messi and Eto'o."

"A very powerful combination." Alan said with emotion.

"Okay, let me introduce you to Manchester United."

"The goalkeeper is of course Edwin van der Sar."

"The defense is Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and..."

Martin Taylor paused and continued: "Gary Neville finally returned from injury."

"It's been a long time coming."

"Yes, this is very important for Manchester United."

"The midfielders are Carrick, Anderson, Li Qiao, Scholes and Ronaldo."

"The striker is Rooney."

"Manchester United's formation is 4231."

After introducing the formation, the side-picking on the pitch was over. In the first half, Barcelona kicked off first.

The war begins!

Barcelona's two most powerful skills are its unbeatable passing and control, and its high pressure in the frontcourt. Many people will ignore the second point. In fact, the running ability of Barcelona players does not belong to other giants at all.

Soon, Manchester United felt the strong pressure from Barcelona. When Neville took the ball, he only hesitated a little. Eto'o immediately came to press, and Neville's path forward for the ball was blocked.

At this time, the shouts on the scene increased. Barcelona fans know football very well. At this time, Neville is the most panicked, so of course the pressure on him must be strengthened, and the fans will feel as if they are on the court themselves.

Neville was originally going to pass to Ferdinand, but he caught sight of Messi from the corner of his eye. If he passed the ball at this time, it would probably have been intercepted. In this case, if it was the young Brown, he might have been caught.

Fortunately, it was Neville who had the ball at this time, and experience saved him.

Neville's choice was to fight with Eto'o. He dribbled the ball forward, Eto'o stepped forward to intercept, and Neville fell on Eto'o. In this case, it would be difficult for the referee not to blow the whistle.

It's just a small detail, but it shows Neville's defensive experience. This is the strength of the veteran, and it doesn't matter. Ferguson has been looking forward to Neville's return as soon as possible, which is evident from this ball.

Barcelona's high-pressure press is very effective for weak European teams, because in fact, the opponent will soon be unable to stand it. This is a flaw in the ability to resist, but against Manchester United, Barcelona's press does not have much effect, because

Manchester United players are still the type who can pass the ball.

This is amazing, after all, it is a Champions League semi-final match.

"Manchester United is very calm."

"Yes, this is very good. Camp Nou has always been very strong at home, but as long as Manchester United survives 15 minutes, then it will be fine."

The ball went to the feet of pacemaker Scholes.

The reason why Scholes is called Manchester United's metronome is of course self-evident. He is very experienced in controlling the game.

Barcelona was pressing high in the frontcourt, so it would be unwise for Scholes to make a short pass, so he passed a long pass to Rooney in front. This long pass was a bit unexpected. Everyone knows that Barcelona is

He is a master of short passes, but if he plays long passes, many of Barcelona's disadvantages will become apparent.

But maybe it was just at the beginning, Barcelona's defense was still very focused on defense. When the ball flew to the front of Barcelona's penalty area, Marcus pushed the ball out. Rooney did not get the ball, but this ball can also be

This shows Manchester United’s ability to solve problems.

Rijkaard also found it very interesting. The opponent has a strong control over the football and a strong ability to read the game. The duel under such circumstances is very interesting. Rijkaard is looking forward to the final result of the game.

.

In fact, before 10 minutes had passed, Barcelona stopped rushing and switched to a regional position, because the players on the field probably knew that facing Manchester United, this kind of running might be a waste of their own energy.

Manchester United also played very patiently and did not attack the wings with force, but used passes to look for opportunities.

Finally, Manchester United couldn't hold it any longer. Li Qiao made a sudden attack from the wing, but Abidal was very stable here.

At the same time that Li Qiao changed the line, Abidal's long legs were also in place, and he scooped the ball out of the sideline with one kick.

However, Ferguson actually stood up and shouted for this ball. Many people may wonder, why?

The old Sir Alex has seen the world, he can't possibly yell for such a ball.

In fact, Ferguson is a way to vent his emotions. I have to say that in the first ten minutes, Manchester United was a bit hard pressed, and it was not easy to get the ball out of the backcourt. In this case, Ferguson needed a point to vent, and just now Li Qiao

The breakthrough allowed Ferguson to find such an opportunity.

And Rijkaard is still very stable, because everything is under his control. His team is already a terrible machine. Every component has been carefully polished, and Rijkaard is that

artisan.

So he is not worried about this game. All he is looking forward to is when he can score the first goal. Rijkaard judged that the first goal will determine the outcome of the game, because masters often do not give their opponents a chance to counterattack.

.

In fact, the heroes think alike, and Ferguson thinks the same way. The first goal is crucial.
