Chapter 175 The Trophy Close at hand

Half a minute later, the referee Merck blew the whistle to end the first half.

The cheers and celebrations in the stands did not stop because of the whistle, and the Manchester United fans were very excited.

Leading AC Milan 2:0 at halftime, this is something they never dreamed of.

In China, the fans who stayed up late to watch the game were even more excited.The team they supported not only led by two goals and almost secured the championship, Yin Jun even scored one goal, becoming the first Chinese to score in the Champions League final.

There is nothing more perfect than this!
If there is, it is Yin Jun who continues to score goals, scored twice, hat-trick, senior four or something...

"Vud Nistelrooy and Yin Jun each scored a goal, helping Manchester United lead AC Milan 2-0 at halftime, Manchester United almost locked the third Champions League trophy in team history!" Lineker shouted excitedly, "Ferguson The Jazz's Manchester United showed everyone their offensive storm, especially the second goal, the whole scoring process is like an offensive art, speed, breakthrough, wonderful pass coordination, shooting, supplementary shots, the whole scoring process has no Give AC Milan any chance!"

Lineker is very emotional, not only because he is British, not only because he has a certain support and affection for Manchester United and Ferguson, but also because as a commentator, facing such a wonderful goal, it is natural will be excited.

………………

In the home dressing room at Old Trafford, Ferguson was in high spirits, praising every player.

"Good job! Very good!" Ferguson said, "Listen to the cheers in the stands, and look at the lost and incredible expressions of the AC Milan people. They were stunned by our beating."

"In the second half, we continued to play like this!" Ferguson said.

"Boss, do we have a chance to hold the trophy?" Giggs shouted excitedly.

Everyone was also stimulated by this question. They looked at their head coach excitedly. Although they could draw their own conclusions, they still wanted to get an answer from the head coach, as if it was such a simple question. Getting an answer from this person's mouth will have a different magic power.

"Yes, according to the score, we are very close to the trophy." Ferguson answered in the affirmative.

There was cheers in the locker room.

"However, I hope you don't think about winning the championship, don't think so much." Ferguson said with a serious expression, "Everyone, don't forget that we won the championship at the Nou Camp four years ago. Bayern took the lead We had nine 10 minutes, but it only took us three minutes to snatch the trophy with Bayern's name almost engraved on it!"

"This is a great miracle, but I don't want such a miracle to be staged by the opponent, and we become the background board. Especially, this is Old Trafford!"

"The reason why we played so well in the first half of the game is because we didn't think so much and didn't have so many distracting thoughts. What we have to do now is to be the same as the first half, not to think so much, and to be ourselves !"

Some people listened to it, while others were still immersed in joy, still thinking about winning the championship.

In this regard, Ferguson has no good solution. People are animals that can think and have ideas. At this time, it is impossible not to think about winning the championship. Ferguson can only hope that this will not affect the players' game state and psychology. produce adverse effects.

………………

In the dressing room of the visiting team, the atmosphere was a bit dull, and the players of AC Milan were still immersed in the blow of conceding two goals in the first half.

"Okay, don't think about the first half." Ancelotti clapped his hands and said, "Although our luck was not very good in the first half of the game, it also shows that we have no problems, it's just that our luck is worse , So in the second half of the game, as long as our luck is a little bit better, scoring goals is not a problem, and winning is not impossible."

Ancelotti did not adjust the team's lineup. As he himself said, the team fell behind 0:2 in the first half, not their own problem, but bad luck, so there is nothing to adjust .

Not only the lineup does not need to be adjusted, but also nothing needs to be changed in tactics. The data of AC Milan's [-] shots speaks for itself, and there is no problem with the team.

………………

The second half of the game begins.

In the 47th minute of the game, AC Milan left back Klose made a low and flat cross from the left side. Shevchenko leaned over 7 meters in front of the goal and rushed to the top. The ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into the field. The Manchester United defender cleared the baseline .

Shevchenko's expression froze, and the expressions of other AC Milan players also froze. Even the commentator was stunned, and he called it a bummer!

"Sweetie, Shevchenko hit the goal frame again!" The Italian commentator shook his head and shouted, "The luck of the Ukrainians today is simply too bad. First a goal was canceled due to a teammate's offside, and now it hits again. The door frame..."

I don't know if it was affected by the neutral post not long after the start of the second half. The players of AC Milan obviously seemed to be depressed, and they also began to be a little confused on the offensive end, especially their number one star on the field Shev Chenko was obviously not as active and excited as in the first half of the game.

"A goal was canceled because a teammate was offside, and Shevchenko hit the goal frame once, and Shevchenko was obviously affected. He is a little lacking in confidence now." The Italian commentator said, "Now Shevchenko rarely shoots, even if If there is a chance to shoot, he will also choose to pass the ball to Inzaghi or Rui Costa."

AC Milan's offensive slowed down, but Manchester United's offensive started.

In less than 10 minutes, they created two shot chances, one was Yin Jun's long-range shot was saved by AC Milan goalkeeper Dida, and the other was Giggs' inside shot that slipped past the goal.

The two consecutive goals in distress also shocked the AC Milan fans into a cold sweat: Now, Manchester United only needs to score one more goal, and AC Milan will be completely killed!

Many people even thought of what happened at the Olympic Stadium in Athens nine years ago. At that time, Barcelona, ​​which was dominant at the time, was defeated by AC Milan 0:4 under the leadership of Cruyff.

It was a game that all the Rossoneri will remember, not only because they defeated their opponents by a large score, but also because after winning the Champions League, they permanently retained the Big Ears Cup!
But today, the situation nine years ago may appear, and the AC Milan people are still witnesses to the incident, but they are likely to become the party that suffers humiliation!
