Chapter 527 Huo Village Miracle Scholes' Smash
Hoffenheim led by two goals this time and the psychological pressure brought to Manchester United by leading by two goals in the first half is completely different. When leading by two goals in the first half, Manchester United still had 60 minutes to equalize. There was a little over 10 minutes left.In other words, they have to score a goal in 5 minutes before they have a chance to play overtime with their opponents. It takes 5 minutes to score a goal. Even if you are facing a relegation team in the Bundesliga, it is very difficult when the opponent is fully defending.

The anxiety on Ferguson's face is beyond words. No matter how many storms he has experienced, it is difficult to keep calm at this moment. The miracle of reversing Bayern in 1999 does not happen every time, otherwise it would not be called a miracle.And now he doesn't have Ronaldo and Giggs who can perform miracles.Rooney is out of shape again.But now he must not give up. No matter what the result is, they must show the fighting spirit and enterprising spirit of the Red Devils. Only in this way can they continue to win the support and support of the fans.

Ferguson came to the sidelines and yelled into the stadium, "Wayne (Rooney) don't be on the side! Go to the center! Keep the fastest shot!"

"Carlos (Tévez)! Don't dribble too much! Shoot long! Shoot long if you get the chance!"

"O'Shea! When Ferdinand goes up, you go to fill the position of the central defender. Don't leave a gap in the middle, and be careful of the opponent's No. 11!"

Although Hoffenheim led by two goals, Rangnick did not dare to sit on the Diaoyutai. Even in Rangnick's view, even a three-goal lead is not very safe.He also came to the sidelines to command loudly, and when a Manchester United throw-in ball rolled to Rangnick's feet, the Hoffenheim coach saw that his players were not ready and kicked the ball farther place, in order to delay a little time.

Rannick's behavior made Ferguson very angry, and the old Jazz yelled at Rannick angrily: "What do you mean??" But Rannick pretended not to hear, staring at the court, without saying a word.

Even if Ferguson doesn't shout, the players of Manchester United know that it is impossible not to work hard now. They are not only winning the championship, but also saving face. Being beaten so embarrassingly by the champion of the UEFA Cup, every player feels that there is no way to be like that after the game. The fans explained.

Manchester United's offense is getting more and more crazy, and Hoffenheim's defensive pressure is also increasing, but Hoffenheim's players are not flustered. The two-goal lead gives them the confidence to maintain their confidence in the face of Manchester United. With a calm mind, they still have two chances to make mistakes, and opponents will die with time if they don't make mistakes.

Originally, Hoffenheim's defense was not top-notch, but this kind of calm mentality made their defense perform at a super level. The Champions League champions had nothing to do with them under the all-out attack. Mentality has a lot to do with the opponent's intensive defense. A player's mistakes will be made up by another player in an instant. Without calmness and care, it is difficult to catch them. But now Manchester United only has a little more than 10 minutes. , How could they still have so much patience and carefulness, not to mention that they didn't play smoothly from the beginning of this game. They were always suppressed by the opponent's lead and played by Li Huan, and their mentality had long been unbalanced.

Hoffenheim's backcourt blocked the opponent's defense, but the counterattack in the frontcourt never gave up. After the midfielder retracted, Ibisevic was at the forefront to suppress the opponent's two central defenders Ferdinand and Vidic. Saviola's position is slightly late, but his speed and agility are a nightmare for Manchester United's two tall central defenders.

The game is passing by every minute and every second. Manchester United's offense has no more rules to speak of. The ball is either shot from a long distance or thrown into the penalty area. However, there are so many defensive players inside and outside the penalty area of ​​Hoffenheim. Blocking is easier said than done. A player like Rooney Tevez has no way to get a high ball in the penalty area, but Manchester United has no way. In such a short period of time, they can only adopt this tactic.

In 81 minutes, Manchester United replaced the veteran Gary who had no physical strength.Neville, replaced by Brown, continued to strengthen the attack on the wing.

After 83 minutes, Manchester United still did not score.

After 85 minutes, Manchester United still haven't found a way to score.

"Glory to Manchester United,
Glory to Manchester United,
Glory to Manchester United,
The Red Army marched forward.
Like those "Busby kids" once upon a time,
We're gonna fly the Red Devils flag high
. . . . . . . . . . "

All the Manchester United fans in the stands stood up. They raised their fists and sang the Manchester United team anthem loudly. The passionate singing made the Manchester United players on the pitch excited, and their offense became even crazier.

In the 86th minute, Park Ji-sung, who came off the bench, passed the ball obliquely into Hoffenheim's penalty area. The ball was caught by goalkeeper Hildebrand and quickly threw it to Li Huan. Tevez rushed forward. At this time, Park Ji-sung also rushed to Li Huan at the fastest speed, but Li Huan flicked the ball, and Park Ji-sung missed it.Li Huan didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground and directly kicked the ball towards Manchester United's frontcourt to find Ibisevic.

With his back to the goal, Ibisevic stopped the ball with his chest. Vidic didn't dare to foul behind him. He was afraid of being awarded a free kick. He could only hold Ibisevic tightly to prevent him from turning around. Ibisevic Jizhongshengzhi, when the ball fell with his heel to knock, the ball went to the back of Vidic and Ferdinand.Seviola has been running beside Ibisevic. After seeing Ibisevic's pass, he immediately passed through the three people like a rabbit, forming a single-handed trend.

This is a one-handed goal that determines the outcome of the game. If Saviola scores, the game will have no suspense at all.If Van der Sar saves the ball, there is still a trace of suspense in the game, of course, only because Manchester United is two goals behind.

There was an exclamation in the stands, and then it became silent. No one made any sound, as if they were worried that they would disturb the two men who were fighting each other.Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and even the commentator stopped making noise.

Saviola dribbled towards Manchester United's penalty area, and Van der Sar also quickly attacked from inside the penalty area.

Between two breaths, Saviola adjusted his pace. He suddenly paused, shaking Van der Sar to the ground, and then pushed the ball to the lower right corner of the goal.

Van der Sar was not an idler either. Although his body lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, his left leg stuck out and blocked the way of the ball.

The ball hit Van der Sar's leg and bounced towards the sideline!

Saviola, nicknamed the rabbit, is short in stature but extremely agile. He quickly caught up with the ball and hoisted it towards the empty goal.

Van der Sar hadn't got up from the ground at this moment, he tried his best to jump up and hit the ball, but he was an old man after all, his second reaction and physical function were not as good as before. When I got up, I could only watch the ball fly over my head.

In front of the TV, in front of the computer, on the stage, in the stadium, all eyes are on the slowly flying ball. At this time, Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Ibisevic in the middle are all desperately running towards the goal, hoping to Hit the ball first.But no one touched it, and the ball flew into the goal against the crossbar.

4:1, Hoffenheim expanded the score again in the 88th minute.

Hoffenheim, who have been waiting for a long time, almost all jumped up and cheered wildly. At this time, there is almost no possibility of overtaking the 3-goal lead. Hoffenheim's fourth championship trophy this season is 90.00% Nine is already in his hand.

Saviola, who was the icing on the cake for Hoffenheim, took off his jersey excitedly, waved and ran to the coach's bench. He wanted to dedicate this goal to coach Rangnick. It was Rangnick's trust that made him establish Only with confidence can we score goals one after another.

Lannick and Saviola, who ran over, hugged each other tightly. Although neither of them understood what they said, it did not prevent them from feeling each other's joy.

Ferguson shook his head, walked back to the coach's bench with a livid face, and sat down on the seat without saying a word, but his eyes were full of unwillingness, disbelief and helplessness.Hoffenheim was able to score four goals for Manchester United. This was something he couldn't believe even if he was killed before the game, but now it has become a reality.The pre-match arrangements did not work, and the adjustments in the midfield did not change the situation. The opponent's offense was extremely sharp, and their defense was easily pierced four times like paper.

"Is this still the Manchester United team that won the Champions League and the league title last season?" Ferguson asked himself in his heart.

The on-site commentator Bunker also asked in puzzlement: "Four to one! It was four to one, and Manchester United scored four goals by Hoffenheim? This is something that no one would have thought of before the game. The bookmaker this time It must be a big loss. Their pre-match prediction was that Manchester United will win by two goals. Of course, few people would dare to bet on Hoffenheim scoring four goals for Manchester United.

In this game, it cannot be said that Manchester United does not want to win, but that Manchester United really cannot win it!Without Ronaldo, without Ryan Giggs and Carrick, this United team is almost like a second-rate team.

Of course, it cannot be said that without Ronaldo, Manchester United is not as strong as Hoffenheim. The attitude of the players can actually explain the problem. According to a report from the "Sun" reporter, this morning, the Manchester United stars also said Monte Carlo. The casino went crazy, did Manchester United stars make a lot of money in the casino, so that they couldn't lift their spirits on the court. "

Manchester United is Manchester United. Even though they were 4:1 behind, even if they had no hope of equalizing, they still did not give up fighting and waited for the end of the game. Everyone used their little physical energy to make the last fight.

Hoffenheim's defense was a little loose under Manchester United's death-defying attack. It was not easy for the defense to only concede one goal for so long under the pressure of Manchester United. After leading by three goals, it was inevitable that they would be a little slack.

Manchester United's ability to seize opportunities is also very strong. Just when the fourth official raised the sign for 4 minutes of stoppage time and the Hoffenheim players expressed dissatisfaction and were distracted, Brown, who had just replaced the right back, used The speed forcibly broke through Ibetzberg and made a cross near the bottom line.

At the moment, the restricted area is packed with players from Manchester United and Hoffenheim. Even Manchester United's central defenders Vidic and Ferdinand ran into the restricted area to compete for the top.At this moment, they no longer worry about the back line. The opponents have scored four goals, so what if they score one more goal, they must score a goal to save the face of the Champions League champions.

Brown's cross was a bit high, neither the 1.9m1.8 Simunic nor the [-]m[-] Ferdinand could reach it, just when Manchester United players and fans regretted that this threatening attack was wasted Suddenly, a red figure jumped up and hit the ball into the goal with both fists.

Because of the slow follow-up of the broadcast, almost all the Manchester United fans next to the TV jumped up, and many fans in the stands also jumped up and cheered.

The on-site commentator Bunker shouted: "Go in! Beautiful! Scholes...Ah! The referee took out a red card...God! It turns out that Scholes hit the ball with both fists Scored the goal. This is the first player in the history of the Super Cup to be sent off with a red card. Scholes made history, but unfortunately it is a shameful record. No wonder Simunić, who is 1.9 meters five, did not reach it. 1.7 meters ten Scholes hit the top... Paul, the veteran Scholes actually used a volleyball smash technique, what happened to the veteran who once beat Barcelona, ​​is he crazy?"

At this time, the Manchester United fans at the scene stopped applauding and shouting dumbfoundedly. An indescribable bitterness rose from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone was wondering what happened to Scholes, why did this low-key and calm veteran behave like this, It seems that Manchester United have really been beaten into a rage.

Scholes didn't even look at the referee Larson who was holding up the red card, and ignored his teammates to comfort him. He walked towards the outside of the field with a blank expression. When passing through the mixed channel, Scholes Si also bowed his head and applauded the fans in the aisle.

Three goals behind and one person missing, Ferguson was really scratching his head how to play in the next few minutes, losing three goals is already a shameful thing, and now Scholes did it again on impulse With such a move, Manchester United was really ashamed in this game.

Rangnick was completely relieved, but he still stood on the side of the court to let the players persist until the last minute and not concede the ball again.At the same time, let Weiss prepare to play and replace Eduardo. First, it is a waste of time, and second, there is no need to score goals now.

When it's time to kick off again.With less than 3 minutes left in the game, when everyone thought the game would end [-]-[-], Hoffenheim won the UEFA Super Cup, but Arshavin, who did not perform well after being replaced, did not give up .He is still running and pressing in the frontcourt.I hope that I can find a chance to score goals, so that I will not regret my debut.
