Chapter 364 Ronaldo goes home

"Can Inter win the title?
This is only the third round of the league. Is it too early to say this now?

I have talked with Chairman Nasser and we cannot let our previous achievements get to our heads.

We're always improving, but it's a new season and we need to work hard. "

Ancelotti's calm face still showed a smile when he was interviewed by reporters.

It is always a pleasure to lead a team to defeat a strong enemy.

Conte, who came with great momentum but ended up losing again, didn't look so good.

"This game showed how dominant Inter Milan can be in Italy and the titles they have won in recent years have proven that they are one of the top teams in Europe.

I think losing to them in an away game is a very reasonable thing.

But Juventus's performance today also proved that we are an increasingly mature team, and we did not have no opportunities during the game. "

When the Inter Milan team arrived in Manchester, they were welcomed by many media and fans.

Regardless of their previous state, this is a very difficult opponent to deal with. "

Leo smiled evilly and hit Ronaldo's waist with his elbow.

But Leo's reaction was so quick, he ducked sideways with dexterity.

The Portuguese did not hide it and answered directly:
"It's true, I did consider returning to Manchester United last season, but that was a bit unrealistic.

Bashen:? ? ?
Ronaldo:! ! !

It is true that many Red Devils fans welcomed Ronaldo, but there were still many people who believed that the Portuguese was already an enemy and booed him.

After teasing Cristiano Ronaldo, he walked away with a look of disgust on his face, making his teammates laugh.

Amid everyone's laughter, Leo stopped Bashen, who was about to go over to settle the score with Ronaldo, and explained to him clearly what happened just now.

I don’t know if UEFA did this intentionally.

"I heard that you have considered returning to Manchester United before?"

Even before the match between Inter Milan and Manchester United started, the local British media began to stir up interest in Ronaldo returning home.

But no matter what, they will always be in my heart. I played there for six years and I loved that club deeply.

Ronaldo laughed angrily, went up and hit Leo with a heavy kick.

Unexpectedly, he met Manchester United again after arriving at Inter Milan this season.

Bashen stumbled and was almost knocked to the ground on the spot.

Therefore, there was nothing to say after the game. The major media praised Inter Milan to the fullest.

"Boss, can you please not hurt innocent people next time you cause trouble?"

"Well, I will fight with all my strength."

I have a lot of friends at Manchester United, and I’m very happy to have the opportunity to go back and visit them this time. "

"Bang!"
How hard is Cristiano Ronaldo's foot? His kick hit Balotelli who was in a daze not far away.

As he spoke, Ronaldo looked through the bus window at the familiar street scenes on both sides of the road, his eyes a little blurry.

Anyone who has watched the game knows that Inter Milan is still significantly better than its opponents in terms of strength and condition.

Although Inter Milan defeated Juventus 2-1 at Meazza, the actual game was not particularly thrilling.

On September 9, local time, the first round of the 17-2013 UEFA Champions League group stage began. A focus battle in Group A attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people.

In addition to the past grievances, Ronaldo "coming home again" is also a highlight of this reunion.

An Pang also repeatedly emphasized on the training ground that the players should not be complacent. The season has just begun.

This was the case when he was still at Real Madrid last season. That time it was his goal that defeated Manchester United to help Real Madrid advance to the Champions League quarter-finals.

“The opponent in the next game is Manchester United, so we must not be careless and underestimate the enemy.

As we all know, the Portuguese grew up into a first-line superstar at Manchester United under the training of Ferguson.

The Bianconeri finally scored a face-saving goal when they were trailing 2-0.

The first-team players couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Cristiano.

"Most of them are here for you, right?"

"You are most familiar with Old Trafford. Tomorrow's game depends on you. I will definitely pass the ball to you more."

Balotelli gave Leo a helpless look and reluctantly accepted Ronaldo's apology.

Manchester United faces defending champions Inter Milan at Old Trafford!
Inter Milan is no stranger to the Red Devils. The two teams have played against each other many times in the Champions League before.

Faced with Leo's teasing, Ronaldo smiled bitterly and shook his head without making a sound.

Although there was some unpleasantness when he left, it was the place where his dream began.

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahaha, definitely next time, definitely pay attention next time!"

"Ugh!~ So disgusting!"

Last season, after leading the team to win the 13th English Football League Championship trophy of his coaching career, the Red Devils' meritorious coach Sir Alex Ferguson announced his retirement.

This is something that has long been expected. After all, he is a man in his 70s who has had heart surgery. The pressure on the Premier League head coach is quite high.

However, what many people did not expect was that the person who took over the team was not Mourinho or other famous coaches as previously rumored, but Moyes.

After the start of the new season, it was basically the same team that won the championship last season, but Manchester United's results were not satisfactory.

This Champions League match with Inter Milan had been preceded by four rounds of Premier League matches. The Red Devils had two wins, one draw and one loss, which caused a lot of doubts.

Maybe today's contest with Inter Milan is a good opportunity for Moyes to prove himself.

This is also the first time that Moyes has led the team in the Champions League. New aid Fellaini made his first start for Manchester United. Smallin and Shinji Kagawa also rotated into the starting lineup.

The home team formed a 4,411 formation at Old Trafford.

Last season's Premier League Golden Boot Robin van Persie and Rooney partnered as a double striker.

Shinji Kagawa and Valencia are on the wings, while Fellaini and Carrick are in the middle.

Left back Evra, right back Smalling, Ferdinand and Vidic partnered as central defender and goalkeeper De Gea.

Inter Milan still arranged a starting lineup of four, three, and three to challenge.

The three players on the front line are Cristiano Ronaldo, Balotelli and Neymar.

Leo leads the midfield, Pirlo takes a rest, and De Rossi and Modric, who have returned from injury, play together.

Left back David Thornton, right back Srna, Thiago Silva and Bonucci partnered as central defender and goalkeeper Handanovic.

When Cristiano Ronaldo came on the field before the game, there was an interesting mix of applause and boos at Old Trafford.

This also shows the complicated feelings of Red Devils fans towards the Portuguese.

Cristiano Ronaldo was not affected by the fans in the stands and calmly greeted his former Manchester United teammates.

The time at Manchester United was something that Ronaldo would never forget. When he was struggling and suffering in Madrid, he would always recall the joy and laughter that echoed in Old Trafford.

At the beginning of the game, both sides cautiously launched several tentative attacks but failed.

I won't comment on the coaching level of Manchester United's head coach Moyes. At least he is not stupid, and he still knows to focus on restricting the performance of Leo and Ronaldo. In the third minute, Leo advanced with the ball in the center after receiving Modric's pass.

Carrick ran all the way to the ground and tackled!

Leo spiked the ball in time to avoid Carrick's tackle, but then Fellaini slammed into him.

"Beep——"

Referee Skomina called a foul on Fellaini and Inter Milan got the first free kick of the game.

Leo was fine, he patted his butt and stood up.

This position seems to be a bit far from the goal. Even if Leo forces a goal, he will probably be rejected by Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.

So he decided to cooperate, so he walked to Ronaldo and whispered a few words.

Everyone knows that Leo has an excellent free-kick kick, and Cristiano Ronaldo is no exception.

Both of them have the ability to score directly from free kicks, so De Gea did not dare to be careless and nervously directed his teammates to line up a wall in front of him.

However, when everyone thought that Ronaldo would play a confusing role in front of the free throw position even if he did not take the penalty, he silently ran to a place not far from the wall.

Leo took a free kick, and the Manchester United team's wall jumped high!
Then they realized something was wrong, Leo's free kick passed to the feet of Ronaldo!

Oops! Moyes' heart tightened.

The defensive players had already jumped into the air, and it was too late to think about how long it would take to land.

Cristiano Ronaldo fired a powerful low shot from outside the penalty area, passed through the feet of Fellaini, who jumped the highest, and went straight into the lower left corner of the goal!
One to zero!

Inter Milan scored the first goal in the away game!

After scoring the goal, Ronaldo chose not to celebrate. After all, this is the team he loves so much.

The Portuguese people's tendency to say what they want is sometimes not very likable, but it's still much better than hypocrites who say one thing and do another.

The boos in the stands at Old Trafford gradually disappeared under Ronaldo's actions and turned into bursts of applause.

Leo was a little moved when he saw this scene. He walked up behind Ronaldo and patted him on the back.

Falling behind at home, the players on the Red Devils field quickly stepped up their attack!

Shinji Kagawa passed back from the left side of the penalty area, and Rooney's right-footed volley from the arc of the penalty area was blocked by Handanovic.

Two minutes later, Fellaini intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and passed it straight. Van Persie dribbled the ball horizontally from the front of the penalty area and shot a cold arrow slightly wide of the right post!

Valencia broke through from the right and passed in an inverted triangle near the baseline. Rooney's follow-up shot missed the baseline due to interference from Thiago Silva.

In the 12th minute, Neymar dribbled past two people and then shot a powerful shot from the right side of the penalty area, which was blocked by Manchester United defender Vidic.

Rooney then fouled Modric and was given a yellow card by referee Skomina.

In the 19th minute, De Rossi also received a yellow card for a tackle on Carrick.

Robin van Persie's free kick passed into the penalty area, and Smalling's header in front of the small penalty area went over the crossbar.

Judging from their positions after the start of the game, although Rooney and Robin van Persie are strike partners, they actually have different responsibilities.

Van Persie was at the front and focused on looking for scoring opportunities, while Rooney stood slightly deeper and took on the work of connecting the striker and midfielder.

In the 22nd minute, Manchester United's efforts were not in vain.

Evra got rid of Srna's defense on the left and then made a cross!

Rooney went straight into the center of the penalty area and volleyed with his right foot without being marked. The ball bounced off the ground and then changed direction and flew into the upper left corner of the goal!
One to one!

Amid the cheers of the fans, Manchester United equalized the score!

Although Inter Milan's players complained to the referee that Valencia interfered with goalkeeper Handanovic on the goal line, Skomina still ruled that the goal was valid.

"Cheer up, everyone!"

As the captain of the Nerazzurri, Leo had to stand up and encourage the whole team.

Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot from the left wing to the outside of the penalty area was blocked by De Gea!
Leo took a corner kick from the right, and Balotelli fell after physical contact with Ferdinand when he headed for the top of the penalty area.

The referee shook his head and did not award a penalty kick.

Bonucci tackled Van Persie in front of the penalty area, and Rooney took the free kick.

Lu Xiaopang's right-footed curve ball shot slightly missed the left post.

Soon after, Van Persie was dissatisfied with the penalty after fouling Bonucci and was given a yellow card by Skomina.

Shinji Kagawa headed the ball to his opponent in the penalty area, and De Rossi's long shot outside the penalty area was blocked by the Manchester United defender.

The home team quickly counterattacked and hit the frontcourt, and Valencia sent a cross from the right!

Shinji Kagawa, who was unguarded at the back point, stopped the ball in his chest and pushed the shot into the far corner from close range, but Handanovic blocked it with his legs and missed the baseline!

At the end of the first half, Inter Milan was temporarily tied with Manchester United on the road.

The battle continued as the second half began.

The visiting team launched the attack first, Leo passed the ball exquisitely, and Neymar's left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area went right into De Gea's arms.

One minute later, the home team also missed a good opportunity to score. Bonucci made a mistake in taking the ball in front of the penalty area, and Rooney made a steal in the frontcourt!

After stealing the ball, Rooney broke into the left side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle without hitting the right spot and reaching the goal!

Van Persie, who had inserted himself from behind in the middle, was suddenly stunned when no one was guarding him, and he watched the ball slide past him.

In the 59th minute, Valencia made a breakthrough pass from the right. Robin van Persie made a clever pass from the front, and Rooney shot a half-hook shot with his right foot with his back to the goal!

Handanovic did not expect such a move. He fought hard to save and hit the ball but could not change the result!

Two to one!

Manchester United takes the lead!

Rooney scored twice and scored his 200th goal for Manchester United!

At the same time, Rooney's personal number of goals in the Champions League has reached 29, surpassing Ryan Giggs with 28 goals and becoming the Englishman with the most goals in the Champions League.

If you have Fatty Lu in your family, you will be blessed and healthy!
At the beginning of the season, fans were dissatisfied due to Rooney's transfer turmoil in the summer. After today's two goals, Xiaopang has regained the trust and support of the fans.

The applause from the audience showed this.

"It's difficult to handle."

Leo frowned and sighed.

Gotta cheer up.

In the 66th minute, Carrick's foot slipped and Leo stole the ball in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack on the spot!

After getting rid of the defense, Leo distributed the ball to the right.

Srna sent a curved pass from the right. Balotelli's header hit the crossbar and bounced back. Neymar shot a close shot into the net!
Two to two!
Inter Milan returned the favor and quickly equalized the score!

Ashley Young and Cleverley came on as substitutes, and Shinji Kagawa and Fellaini were replaced.

Ronaldo's two consecutive shots failed to hit the goal.

In the 79th minute, Ancelotti replaced Coutinho and Ronaldo was substituted.

The Portuguese is not unhappy either. He was heavily targeted by his opponents on the court today, and it was indeed quite tiring to fight consecutively.

In the 91st minute, Valencia made a pass from the right, and Robin van Persie turned the corner and pushed towards the empty goal, but he missed!
At the end of the game, Inter Milan's performance in the first Champions League game of the new season was mediocre, and they tied with Manchester United 2-2 away from home!
