Chapter 704: Victory for Ferguson

The first round of the Champions League quarter-finals knockout round four games were played in two days. Except for the Alpine Bayern Munich's four-zero home win over Porto, the other three games were also staged one after another.

Simultaneously with Bayern Munich is the match between Barcelona and Inter Milan.

The first leg of the two sides was Barcelona's visit to the Meazza Stadium. Prandelli's team lost the ball in just four minutes. This was a nightmare start for the Nerazzurri, but after ten minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo equalized the score.

In the eighty-fifth minute of the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo assisted again, allowing Adriano to go back and overtake the score to two to one.

But the good times didn't last long, just four minutes later, Barcelona's Iniesta scored again.

In the end, the two sides became a tie.

On the second day of Barcelona's 2-2 away draw with Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid drew with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in London. Both sides played very well. Arsenal scored in the opening ten minutes, but Atletico Madrid equalized the score in the second half. .

But what really surprised Gao Han was another game, the Red Devils Manchester United away to Liverpool.

This season, Liverpool is Manchester United's number one loser. They just won a big victory at Old Trafford. This time the Champions League quarter-finals meet again, and many people are more optimistic about Benitez's team.

Facts have proved that Liverpool did have a better start at home, and scored a goal in the sixth minute, breaking the deadlock on the field, which also let the two sides who started more cautiously completely let go of their hands and feet.

Both sides had frequent opportunities, but there was no chance to score. Until the end of the first half, Manchester United got a corner kick. Scholes took the penalty and Pepe scored with a header, which equalized the score for Manchester United.

After changing sides in the second half, Liverpool began to focus on the two points of Scholes and Carrick, but the starting player Matic performed well. His steals and interceptions in the midfield contained Liverpool. Most of his offense, and many times sent excellent passes to the frontcourt.

After the first ten minutes, Manchester United was weak again, another corner kick, Pepe scored again, reversed the score, and severely damaged Liverpool's morale.

Only five minutes later, Tevez assisted and Rooney scored to lock the score to three to one. 【】

In the end, Manchester United won Liverpool away.

"Benitez was hit!"

Gao Han watched the live broadcast of the game in Sebena's coach's office. Not only the coaching staff were present, but also Hernes, Rummenigge and Nellinger from the management.

Before this game, they are no different from ordinary fans, and they like to watch the ball while discussing.

The only difference is that in order to stay awake, they can't drink, only water or coffee.

"The old fox Ferguson directed this classic reversal. Whether it is off the court or on the court, it has taught us a lesson, so we have to be cautious." Gao Han said cautiously.

Judging from the situation before the game, Liverpool undoubtedly have the advantage, the right time and the right place.

The so-called Tianshi, the Red Army just broke Manchester United at Old Trafford, the time is just right, they can fully chase after victory and kill Manchester United in one go.

Needless to say, the location is right and the people are in harmony. At home, the Red Army is united and Benitez is also a cup expert.

But the result was unexpected, Ferguson soon changed the color at Anfield Stadium.

"This old man is not simple, he has super learning ability and super self-reflection ability. Maybe it is them who can have the last laugh in the upper half." Gao Han said with admiration.

Among the four teams in the upper half, Manchester United was originally the most underestimated, because they just lost to Liverpool at home. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly reversed after a three-to-one away game.

Judging from the score in the first round, Manchester United can be said to have advanced with one foot.

From start to finish, this is a victory that belongs entirely to Ferguson.

"Benitez shouldn't have a fight with Ferguson before the game. As a result, he not only fought, but also got stuck in it. Ferguson got his temper. After the home goal was the lead, he didn't constrain, but wanted to win. He ate his opponent, but now he was swallowed by his opponent." Rummenigge also sighed.

This is the case with professional football. The trend of the game is often within the head coach's mind.

Before the game, Ferguson took the lead in provocative, thinking that Liverpool's previous victory was a win for the fisherman, and no victory.

Benitez did not fight back at first, but remained silent.

But soon, Ferguson attacked again. This time he said in an interview with the media that he would not go to the Premier League between Liverpool and Fulham, because there is no need, he already has a plan to defeat Benitez.

"But I can guarantee that he will watch our game against Aston Villa. If you don't believe me, ask him."

As a result, Benitez was really angry this time.

The Spanish coach publicly criticized Manchester United in an interview. "He always talks too much about other people's teams. I don't know if this is a psychological warfare, but he should be a little afraid of us? What's more, I don't think he is in Old Trafalgar. Five minutes stoppage time at Ford Stadium is a reasonable thing, isn't it?"

As soon as Benitez spoke, Ferguson immediately counterattacked, stating that Manchester United’s stoppage time was determined by the referees. Although it was not short, Liverpool was also taken care of in the away game against Fulham. Otherwise, how could it be? Goal at the last minute?

The Spaniard immediately fought back, "Manchester United is a great club, I respect Manchester United, but I have to say that I don't like Ferguson's casual criticism of other teams' style. If someone criticizes Liverpool, then I will fight back."

The two men babbled in the media and it was a joy, and even the media followed suit.

The Manchester Evening News was the first to disclose a report stating that once Benitez started a war of words, Liverpool would have bad luck.

Do not believe?

The newspaper pointed out that the last time Benitez had a fight with someone was in January, and his opponent was also Ferguson. The two teams were vying for the top of the league. As a result, after Benitez was angered, he prepared early. I wrote an A4 paper and scolded Ferguson at the press conference.

The scolding was enjoyable, but then Liverpool tied for four consecutive times and gave up the top of the league.

As a result, this time Benitez scolded again and lost again.

Of course Gao Han knows that the war of words is not as effective as in the legend, nor is it that Benitez is paralyzed, but because he is a little emotional in the game, eager to eat his opponent with one bite, and Ferguson is a cunning and cunning man. The counterattack is a tactic, and as a result, although he loses one goal first, he pulls three goals in a row.

Gao Han has often played against Ferguson himself, of course, knowing that this old man is powerful, he almost does everything.

Of course, he is right about things and wrong people, friendship belongs to friendship, and the game belongs to the game.

"To be honest, Manchester United played so well this time, it's hard to tell who wins and loses in the upper half." Hoeness was also a little surprised.

The interesting part of football lies here.

Before the game is played, no one is sure of winning.

Ferguson's reversal can be regarded as breaking the glasses of most of the fans around the world.

As for the second half, Inter Milan did not play well in the first leg. They drew Barcelona at home 2-2. Not only did they fail to win their opponents, but instead gave them two away goals. Although Prandelli’s team The offense is sharp, but the defense still needs to be strengthened.

After Cannavaro, Materazzi and others get old, Bonucci and other young players still need to practice.

Of course, at the Camp Nou Stadium, Inter Milan is fully capable of defeating their opponents, and with the fierce attacking power of the Nerazzurri, it is still very promising to advance.

…………

…………

The facts are as predicted by Gao Han.

A week later, the second round of the Champions League knockout round.

The first to start was the Barcelona vs. Inter Milan match.

Prandelli's team scored at the Nou Camp in just six minutes. Cristiano Ronaldo's key goal broke Valdes' goal and opened the goal for Inter Milan.

After that, the Nerazzurri defended all the way and did not give Barcelona the slightest chance.

The two sides remained in a stalemate until the second half. Before the end of the game, Messi stood up at a critical moment and dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the right. Bonucci made a foot in the penalty area. Although he broke the ball, he also tripped Messi.

The referee did not hesitate to award a penalty, Messi calmly took the penalty and equalized the score.

This is definitely a golden goal.

It was with Messi’s penalty kick that Barcelona finally took advantage of an away goal and eliminated Inter Milan three to three and successfully entered the Champions League semi-finals.

After the game, Bonucci became the focus of countless media accusations and criticisms, especially his defense of Messi.

But Inter Milan coach Prandelli came forward to support Bonucci, affirming his performance in this game.

At the same time that Barcelona eliminated Inter Milan, Bayern Munich also defeated Porto 2-0 in the away game, and then successfully eliminated the Portuguese Super Champions with a total score of 6-0, and met with Barcelona in the semi-finals.

The next day, the results of the other two games of the Champions League quarter-finals were also freshly released.

After Heynckes' team drew with Arsenal in a 1-1 away game, they returned to the Calderon Stadium to beat the Gunners 3-0 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 4-1.

It should be said that this game is not surprising. Atletico Madrid played better and better in the whole game.

But the other game in the upper half was even more ups and downs.

Benitez’s team first scored two goals in half an hour at Old Trafford and took a two-to-zero lead into the second half. Unexpectedly, Ferguson’s team was tenacious and decisive in the second half. He pulled two goals in one minute to equalize the score, and in the 76th minute, he made another move to reverse the score.

But soon ~www.readwn.com~ the Reds Liverpool scored two goals in the 81st and 83rd minutes to reverse the score again.

Unexpectedly, Ferguson's team scored a key goal in the 89th minute.

In the end, the two sides ended in a tie with a four-to-four match, and Manchester United eliminated Liverpool with a total score of seven to five.

But what really impresses people is not the result of the game, but the process.

Both teams showed amazing resilience and tenacious fighting spirit throughout the process, especially Manchester United. The two rounds of the game were from backward to reversal. The whole process was completed with ups and downs, and people could not help but see the end.

After watching this game, Gao Han did not hesitate to judge that as long as Manchester United maintain the resilience and fighting spirit of these two rounds, the semi-finals will likely eliminate Heynckes' Atletico Madrid and enter the final.

But this is not because of Manchester United's overall strength.

"This is a victory for Ferguson."
