Chapter 149 Aliens

From the No. 40 minute, with Manchester United actively retreating, Real Madrid began to have more possession.

Manchester United's idea is to maintain the tie until halftime, and wait until the second half of the game starts before launching a decisive battle with Real Madrid.

After all, as long as Manchester United does not continue to concede goals, they only need one goal in the second half to reverse Real Madrid.

It is said that taking a step back is a bright future. When Manchester United was unable to reverse the score under the continuous strong attack, it was an unexpected surprise to take the initiative to retreat and played a series of extremely threatening attacks.

In the 42nd minute, Brown made a cross from the right, Giggs headed the ball and Yin Jun volleyed and missed the target.

After 1 minute, O'Shea received Yin Jun's transfer ball and made a long pass from the left side of the backcourt. Helguera and Carlos made consecutive clearance mistakes. In front of Casillas, he fell to the ground with his right foot and hit the goal. Ruud van Nistelrooy pushed his right foot into the net 3 meters in front of the goal, and Manchester United drew 2:1.

For Manchester United, this is really a surprise.Because the Manchester United players had already planned to withdraw temporarily in the first half, and the fans also discovered the team's approach of slowing down the pace of the game. They were ready to accept the result of ending the first half in a draw, but they did not expect that the team would pass the game once. A quick counterattack reversed the score.

Old Trafford fell into madness instantly!
The current total score is 4:4, but the key point is that Manchester United has two away goals.In other words, this goal completely reversed Real Madrid!

This is called Manchester United and how can the fans in the stands not be excited?
This is Ruud van Nistelrooy's 12th goal in the main match of the Champions League this season. He continues to rewrite the single-scoring record since the restructuring of the Champions League.

………………

During the intermission, Ferguson repeatedly reminded the players that Real Madrid will not let it go, and they will definitely work hard in the second half.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid suddenly strengthened their offensive, and it only took 5 minutes to score a goal and tie the score at 2:2.

In the 50th minute, Figo made continuous breakthroughs on the left side of the penalty area. His left foot shot from a small angle to the COSCO goal post and bounced back into the field. Already inserted behind Butt, he didn't shoot directly, but made a selfless low pass with his left foot in the middle. Ronaldo pushed his left foot 7 meters in front of the goal and scored the empty goal, scoring his fourth goal in the Champions League this season. ball.

This goal put Manchester United in a disadvantageous situation again, because it not only made Manchester United 4:5 behind on aggregate, but also wiped out the advantage of scoring two away goals at the Bernabeu Stadium.

If Manchester United wants to advance, they must score two more goals in the next game, and at the same time they must not concede a goal.

If only one more goal is scored, the score will become a 5:5 tie, and Manchester United and Real Madrid will have to play extra time, or even a brutal penalty shootout.

Obviously, this is not the situation Manchester United wants to see.

Manchester United began to attack aggressively, and they had no way out.

………………

The desperate Manchester United broke out with a strong combat power, and once again exceeded the score on the field.

In the 52nd minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy broke through the right side of the front court and made a cross. Giggs immediately knocked to the left. The ball hits his own goal.

This own goal dealt a very heavy blow to Real Madrid. They just equalized the score and took the lead again in the two rounds of the game, but this lead only lasted 2 minutes before being equalized by the opponent again.

The most terrible thing is that this conceded goal was an own goal of the own players, which is too demoralizing.

Manchester United, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, took the opportunity to launch a fierce offensive towards Real Madrid's goal, and in just 4 minutes, expanded the score lead.

In the 56th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy made a direct pass, and Yin Jun faced Casillas 15 meters in front of the goal. He calmly shot low and sent the football to Real Madrid's gate again.

4:2, the total score became 6:5, Manchester United once again surpassed the total score of the two rounds!
Manchester United was rejoicing, while Real Madrid was cornered.If they want to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League, or even pursue the 10th Champions League championship in team history, they must score again in the next game, otherwise they can only go back to their hometown.

At the critical moment, the outstanding personal ability of the star showed its charm.In the 59th minute, Figo passed the ball from the midfielder. After taking the ball, Ronaldo passed Ferdinand with his iconic pendulum. He volleyed with his right foot from 22 meters in front of the goal and scored on the right side of the goal. Real Madrid tied the total score. 6:6, and with the advantage of more away goals, stood at the door of the semi-finals.

The alien scored a hat-trick at Old Trafford, conquering more than 60,000 Red Devils fans in the stands.

………………

The atmosphere at Old Trafford can be said to be suffocating at the moment.The fans have been tortured by the ever-changing scores on the field, and they are desperately cheering for the home team, hoping that the players can cheer up and surpass the score again.

At the critical moment, not only the fans couldn't bear the tension, even Ferguson couldn't sit still. He immediately asked Beckham on the bench to get up to warm up.

The figure of Beckham appeared on the sidelines of the court, which aroused warm applause from the fans. They also hoped that their number one star could appear on the stage to change the current unfavorable situation for the team.

Beckham was concentrating on warming up, even if fans in the stands next to him kept calling his name, he didn't care.

Ferguson only gave Beckham 3 minutes to warm up, and then sent him on in the 63rd minute, replacing the Argentine wizard Veron, who was somewhat disappointing in this field.

At this moment, many people don't know the meaning of this substitution. It is not until many years later, when people recall the game, that they know the special significance of this substitution.

Because at this moment, Real Madrid chairman Florentino, who was sitting with Manchester United CEO David Gill in the stands, set his sights on Beckham who came off the bench.

At the same time, at a certain position in the stands, a Russian super-rich man also came to the spirit and concentrated on watching the game.Then he was attracted and fascinated by the wonderful performances of the two sides, and made a decision to enter the football world.

This person is the Russian super rich Roman Abramovich!
