Red stands, red seats, red jerseys, red flags and scarves, the whole Old Trafford stadium is like a sea of ​​blood, and there are a small group of fans dressed in blue where the red originates, they are the visiting team Hoffenheim, the game has not yet started, the fans in the South Stand have habitually started yelling and cursing, behind them is the statue of Sir Busby, with his right hand on his hip, holding the ball in his left hand, staring ahead, as if silently supporting The Red Devil prays.

Many of Hoffenheim's fans are Chinese in the UK. These are headed by Liu Yang and Peng Xiaolang. Over the years, because of Li Huan's relationship, Liu Yang has become well-known in the Chinese fan circle and often takes charge of organizing activities task.Liu Yang, who has always been a bit tired, has a very serious expression today. He has never watched football with such a heavy heart in these years. The expressions of the Hoffenheim fans around him are very similar to him. Everyone is cheering for Hoffenheim worried about the future.

Under the stadium, between the fans of the home and away teams, the security guards and the anti-riot police looked tense, as if they were facing a big enemy, they had already received orders, the fans of this game are likely to be extremely nervous, and they must be prepared to prevent accidents, Old Trafford The German stadium has always been in good order, and there are usually few police officers. Today, the mayor ordered additional police officers to be dispatched urgently.

The fans had already occupied the stadium an hour ago, and only those big names arrived late at this time. When the commentator was introducing the situation of the two sides of the game, there was a commotion in the stands, and then the telephoto lens was aimed at the south. In the stands, it turned out that Beckham rushed to the scene to watch Manchester United's knockout match. Beckham didn't have a game in the middle of the week. He came here to support his former teammates. Beckham had a private box at Old Trafford, but he still chose In the stands with the Red Devils fans.

Less than 2 minutes after Beckham arrived, Manchester United owner Glazer and Hoffenheim owner Hope also came to the stadium. Although the two rich men had very different personalities, their common love for sports gave them a common topic, the two walked into the box while talking about the development of the club.

The commentators on the court station had already started warming up for the game half an hour ago. The hosts Tao Wei and Duan Xuan got up from the bed early, and they were preparing for the commentary of the game. Careful preparations were also made. The materials of each player were collected very neatly. Our teacher Duan actually prepared some jokes about the two teams to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Manchester United have already set a record in the Premier League. They have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive years. Now if they can knock out Hoffenheim, they will become the first team since Juventus in the 1996/97 season. The defending champion who entered the final. At the same time, this is also the 25th Champions League game. Manchester United has never been defeated in the previous 24 games. This is an amazing result. The Red Devils Manchester United are definitely the strongest team in Europe now." Duan Xuan praised Manchester United's previous achievements with admiration.

Tao Wei said: "Compared with Manchester United, Hoffenheim's performance is not inferior at all. Since losing to Zenit St. Petersburg in the UEFA Cup group stage last season, Hoffenheim has never failed again. Hoffenheim also just won the league four rounds ahead of schedule, and the best form can only be compared with Manchester United."

Tao Wei said with a chuckle: "Whoever the two teams enter the final will make history. In addition, there are three points to watch in this game. One is whether Li Huan can score another goal and set a single-season scoring record in the Champions League. Li Huan had already Tied the record of 14 goals set by striker Altafini of Milan, Italy. In addition, if the veteran Ryan Giggs plays in this game, this will be his 800th professional game. This is a great number, and the Welshman is simply He is a living fossil in football. Giggs was suppressed by Ferguson in the last game. Ferguson should let him play at home. In addition, will there be an Asian derby between Li Huan and Park Ji-sung? The Chinese and South Korean media have been hyping up the news recently. Judging from the pre-match media reports, it seems likely that Park Ji-sung will play."

At this time, there were enthusiastic cheers on the court, and it turned out that players from both sides came out of the locker room.Duan Xuan also got the lineups of both sides, "The game is about to start, now let's take a look at the lineups of both sides:

曼联的首发阵容依然是进攻型的4-3-3：1号守门员范德萨，四个后卫是3号埃夫拉、5号费迪南德、15号维迪奇、22号奥谢，三个中场是8号安德森、17号卡里克、24号弗莱彻，三个前锋是13号朴智星、7号C罗、10号鲁尼。。。。。。。”

After reading this, Duan Xuan was very pleasantly surprised, and said: "Park Ji-sung really played. Asian fans are fortunate to be able to witness the contest between two best Asian players. Their jerseys are both No. 13. And the first match Compared with the game, Manchester United replaced Park Ji-sung in the starting line-up. Carlos Tevez failed to guard Li Huan in the last game, and today it was replaced by Park Ji-sung. It seems that Sir Alex Ferguson has great expectations for Park Sanfei."

Tao Wei introduced Hoffenheim's starting lineup, "Hoffenheim's starting lineup is goalkeeper Hildebrand, four defenders..., Hey! No, it turned out to be five defenders, no , there are two right backs, Li Huan and Baker are both on, Baker must be the right back, but where will Li Huan appear, right halfback? Let's take a look at other positions, the backs should be Baker, Compaq, Simu Nikki and Ibecberg. The midfielders are Tymoshchuk, Arshavin, Li Huan, Sarihovic, and the forwards are Ruud van Nistelrooy and Saviola. From this point of view, Li Huan should be a right midfielder. This is It was an unexpected adjustment, but judging from the last round of the league against Wolfsburg, this adjustment was premeditated."

Not only the commentator thought so, but Ferguson, who was standing on the sidelines, saw Hoffenheim on Baker, and thought that Li Huan might be promoted to the position of right midfielder. In the first round of the match, Hoffenheim jumped the wall in a hurry Li Huan used to play this position when he was playing.This is not beyond Ferguson's expectations, he has long been prepared for this change in Hoffenheim.

Ferguson looked at Lannick's unfathomable and profound appearance, and couldn't help laughing secretly. He thought to himself that I have played more Champions Leagues than you. You still want to play tricks on me. You are asking for embarrassment.

But when the players took their positions, everyone was stunned, because Li Huan stood in a position that he had never been in before. Today, Li Huan actually played as a midfielder.

Tao Wei, who was explaining the Bundesliga, knew Hoffenheim better. He pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that Li Huan has never played this position. In the German Cup two years ago, Li Huan used to play as a midfielder as a substitute. The second time was that Li Huan played without Lannick's consent, so I was a bit impressed, it seemed that Li Huan played well."

Duan Xuandao: "Tao Wei, I'm a little impressed by what you said. What does Lannick mean by putting Li Huan in the back position? Is he planning to let Li Huan attack or defend?"

Tao Wei said: "It should be attacking. Li Huan's fast attack from the midfielder position is more direct than that of the full-backs, and he comes back to defend quickly. It is equivalent to Hoffenheim having two midfielders, one for attack and one for defense."

Hoffenheim kicked off first. After Saviola and Ruud van Nistelrooy passed the ball back, the three forwards of Manchester United quickly overwhelmed the half-court. Anderson and the two full-backs O'Shea and Evra also followed suit. Pressed forward, but Carrick and Fletcher in the middle did not move. Although Manchester United had never considered Li Huan playing as a midfielder before the game, and did not know how to defend, the experienced Red Devils were still cautious. Leave a heavy defense in the middle.

When the ball was passed back to Li Huan's feet, Ronaldo, who was the center forward, also rushed to Li Huan quickly. Facing a superstar like Ronaldo, he was still at the front of his penalty area. Li Huan didn't panic, he made a backward move. Turning around, it seemed that he was going to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, but Li Huan's body only turned halfway, and when he attracted Ronaldo to his side, he suddenly turned in a circle, leaving Ronaldo behind. .Li Huan quickly dribbled a few steps forward. When he saw Anderson coming up, he looked up and scanned the front field. With a lift of his foot, he passed to the right to find Baker. Baker immediately dribbled the ball forward along the sidewalk.

Evra didn't think highly of Baker. Seeing that Baker dared to press into the middle circle to challenge himself, he immediately rushed over to try to break Baker's ball, but Baker handled the ball very smartly. Seeing Evra coming up, he knocked the ball Give Arshavin in the middle, then run forward, and hit the wall with Arshavin in a two-for-one.

Baker rushed past Evra's carelessness. He was angry and chased after Baker. But although Baker's speed couldn't keep up with Li Huan, he was not slow.

Carrick in the middle saw that Evra's side was tight, and immediately supported the side, intercepting Baker who was plugging in at high speed from the side.

Baker was very smart and decisive in handling the ball. Seeing that it was difficult to dribble past Carrick's interception, he passed the ball to Arshavin again, wanting to continue with the wall.

But Manchester United's players have just been made by him once, how could they succeed this time, Evra intercepted in front of Arshavin, and Carrick chased Baker.Make it difficult for two people to cooperate.

Arshavin saw that it was impossible to pass the bottom pass to Baker, and seeing that Li Huan had already penetrated into the middle circle, he immediately passed the pass to Li Huan, but Arshavin did not pass to Li Huan's feet, but made a diagonal pass. About five meters in front of Li Huan.Arshavin's pass was good, and Li Huan didn't need to adjust his pace at all if he wanted to get the ball.

At this moment, all the cameras are aimed at Li Huan, Anderson is also running from one side, Ronaldo from behind, and Carrick from the front.

At this time, no one thought that Li Huan was going to shoot, because the ball was still about 50 meters away from the goal.When Li Huan ran ahead, there was no sign of shooting.

But no one saw that Li Huan's left foot had already passed the side of the ball. This was obviously a preparatory action for a shot, but Li Huan did it very covertly and didn't notice anything.

It wasn't until Li Huan's right leg turned high, like a drawn strong bow, that goalkeeper Van der Sar had a premonition that something was wrong, but at this time he had already seen the strange arc drawn by the ball in the air, and then The whistling sound of piercing the air.

When Van der Sar reacted, it was too late when he backed up and ran towards the goal. Out of panic, Van der Sar fell on his back on the turf. At the moment of falling, Van der Sar's mind went blank, he even closed His eyes were closed, and he didn't dare to watch the football fly into the gate he was guarding. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, why did this kid choose to shoot?Why……

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned by Li Huan's earth-shattering blow.Time seemed to have stopped, everyone was tongue-tied and unbelievable, the Old Trafford stadium, which can hold 76000 people, was so quiet that people could even hear each other's heartbeats.

Li Huan roared frantically and ran to the visiting team's stands, shaking his fists fiercely at the fans.

"GOALGOALGOALGOAL Lee! Lee! 1:0... 57 seconds into the game... Li Huan scored a goal..."

After a short period of dead silence, a pot exploded in the stands of the visiting team.Cheers, whistles, shouts, cheers, countless voices mixed together.But this still couldn't express the joy and happiness in the hearts of the fans. If they couldn't shout enough, they danced, jumped and jumped, and then rhythmically shouted the names of their heroes, "Li Huan! Li Huan! Li Huan!"

Ferguson was completely stunned. He never thought that Hoffenheim scored a goal in less than 1 minute. He, a man with more than 20 years of teaching experience, was shocked and dizzy. His brain went blank. The situation was good before the game. Immediately, earth-shaking changes took place.How could the old jazz accept this.

Ferguson opened his mouth wide, ignoring the chewing gum falling to the ground, and just muttered: "50 meters, 50 meters! He just shot... He actually shot..."

Lannick couldn't be more excited. He took off his suit and waved it vigorously. Two assistant coaches rushed over from behind and hugged him tightly, shouting, "We're ahead! We're ahead!"

In the VIP box, Magsim.Glazer's cup fell to the ground. Huo De, a miser who could sue his sister for money, stood up and said to Hope, "How much is this Chinese man? Let me make a price. I'll buy as much as you want." .”

Hope also stood up excitedly. Hearing what Glazer said, he flatly refused without thinking: "Magsim, even if you fill a Boeing 747 with dollars, I won't sell them to you." .”
