Chapter 627
There was a huge and heavy exclamation at Old Trafford, which was also mixed with the regret of the Hoffenheim fans.If this goal is scored, Manchester United will immediately encounter the iron barrel formation set up by Hoffenheim. Thinking about the speed of Li Huan and Arshavin, the players and fans of Manchester United will shudder.

Ferguson's heart twitched the moment Sarihovic shot the goal. He was shocked when he saw the ball hit the goalpost, but the old man was really very human. Goalpost, over there, he waved his arms to let his disciples press forward, and continued to strengthen the attack.

This is also Ferguson's helpless move. Although it is dangerous to attack now, it is more dangerous to be scored by the opponent in the future. It is better to attack now. He is forced to be a brave man.

One goal and one goal post, Manchester United was deeply hurt when they were deeply afraid. This is the self-esteem of a defending champion.Then all of this complex emotion turned into anger.Manchester United has become an irritated monster!

The brief calm passed, and another wave of more violent attacks came!

Manchester United's offense is very layered, with various offensive methods, skilled overall coordination, and a lot of offensive points. There are so many offensive points. Offensive, someone instigates the offensive, someone connects to form a continuous pass, someone covers and runs without the ball to tear apart the defense line, relying on collective strength to create shooting opportunities, and finally achieve a fatal blow.

Under the blow of Manchester United's violent storm, the Hoffenheim players who had gradually launched a counterattack were once again pressed back by Manchester United's offense.Arshavin and Sarihovic returned to their own half, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Saviola were overwhelmed near the center circle, and defense became the main theme of Hoffenheim again.

"Don't all come back, stand up!"

"Give the ball to Li Huan and Arshavin, don't kick the ball blindly!"

. . . . . . . . . . .

Rangnick shouted, and his heart became nervous again. It is not safe to lead by only one goal. Manchester United can eliminate Hoffenheim by scoring one goal. Even if Rangnick has confidence in his defense, he cannot be God's home , Luck is one of the decisive factors in the dialogue between strong and strong. If Sarihovic's shot just scored, Hoffenheim basically won the game.He can use Manchester United's iron barrel formation to deal with them when they are away.But not now, only one goal ahead, Hoffenheim has no capital to play intensive defense, defensive counterattack is still Hoffenheim's best choice.

Cristiano Ronaldo was stared at by Tymoshchuk and Li Huan in the middle, and he had few chances to get the ball. It was very uncomfortable. He wanted to switch positions with Rooney, but Rooney played well on the wing. Where is he willing to fight against Li Huan in the middle, Ronaldo had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay in the middle.

After being intercepted by Li Huan several times, Ronaldo didn't dare to dribble anymore. He either shot the ball or cooperated with his teammates. But in this way, it became more difficult for Hoffenheim to defend. Interspersed, the defense gradually revealed some flaws.Fortunately, Park Ji-sung is not Carlos Tevez and Berbatov, and his personal ability is slightly weaker. Hoffenheim can still defend. If Tevez is replaced, he may already be very embarrassed.

Hoffenheim originally thought that Manchester United's attack was only for 10 minutes, but under the control of anger and fear, Manchester United's attack turned out to be endless, and they played for nearly 10 minutes. Manchester United played three beautiful counterattacks, all of which caused great threats, but still did not restrain the magic of the Red Devils.

The game went on for 10 minutes quickly, and there were still about 15 minutes before the end of the first half. This time period is also the easiest time to score goals, because at this time, after half an hour of fighting, the players' bodies , Already a little tired, even a team with good physical fitness, they are also a little tired mentally, and it is very easy to get distracted, which is like the refractory period of men after that.

Both Rangnick and Ferguson are experienced coaches. They walked to the sidelines and used body language to remind their players. Rangnick asked his players to be vigilant, and Ferguson asked his players to continue to put pressure on their opponents.

It is no wonder that the two coaches are in a hurry. At this point in the game, both sides are playing at their highest level. Manchester United's defense is full of holes, there is a lot of space in the back, as long as you kill it, you can score the second goal.However, it is extremely difficult to go further. Both sides are waiting for the opponent to make a mistake. As long as the opponent makes a mistake, the current stalemate can be changed.

When the needle pointed to the 32nd minute of the game, Manchester United's offensive became more fierce. Carrick Fletcher even pressed into Hoffenheim's half. The pressure on Hoffenheim's defense was even greater. An unbelievable scene occurred. Simunić, who has always been stable, kicked a flaw when he made a clearance.The ball hit Tymoshchuk. After the ball fell, the Ukrainian made a hasty clearance and hit Ronaldo in the face. Finally, it became the best pass to Park Ji-sung. The shit-lucky South Korean scrambled for a shot from five yards inside the penalty area, and the ball flew past Hildebrand's feet and into the net.

1:1 level.

The Hoffenheim fans at the scene were dumbfounded, and couldn't believe their eyes that the ball was scored like this.

The fans of Manchester United celebrated wildly, and the applause shouted like mountains and seas even surpassed the noise made by a passenger plane taking off.

Lannick was furious, and he didn't know who to vent his anger on. He slammed the water bottle to the ground.The water in the bottle splashed onto Sir Ferguson's trousers, but Ferguson had no time to pay attention to these details at the moment. The old man in his 60s had a red face, as if covered with blood.He raised his arms high and embraced Park Ji-sung who was rushing towards him.The old jazz's wrong move has turned into a wonderful stroke now.God's arrangement is really incredible.

"GOAL! GOAL! Park Ji-sung... The Korean scored a goal, and the Asian derby was really staged. Although the Korean's goal is not beautiful, it is very important and very crucial. Such a goal is worth a thousand dollars. 1 A score of :1 will allow Manchester United to reach the final... Park Ji-sung, Sir Alex Ferguson's lucky star..."

Liu Yang in the stands angrily punched the seat, "Damn it, the Korean Bangzi is so fucking lucky, the pie in the sky actually hit him on the head. I'm so mad."

Uncle Wang has lived abroad for a long time, but he doesn't have as much resentment towards the Korean Bangzi as Liu Yang said, "Manchester United dominates the offense, most of the ball is in our half, and even wandering around our penalty area, as long as we make mistakes, it will become very dangerous. Even if the ball didn’t fall in front of Park Ji-sung just now, it might have fallen in front of other Manchester United fans. So the best way to fight the war is to go to someone else’s door.”

Liu Yang looked at the field with confidence for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I believe Li Huan will definitely score again. Manchester United won't have the last laugh."

Uncle Wang said with a smile: "Xiaoyang, take a look. Manchester United were startled by Li Huan's goal at the beginning of the game. They must not dare to stick to it. There are still goals in this game."

Liu Yang chuckled, and said, "Uncle Wang's analysis is really good, I think he can be a commentator at the imperial court."

A fan from China next to him immediately pretended to be serious after hearing this: "Liu Yang, aren't you spoiling Brother Wang?"

The surrounding Chinese fans who were depressed by the ball couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When the Manchester United players were ecstatic as if they had reached the final, Li Huan walked up to Tymoshchuk and comforted the Ukrainian squatting on the ground, "It's not your fault, there is still time."

Li Huan doesn't talk much, but at this time the weight is very important. With Li Huan's status in the team, it is like representing the whole team forgiving Timoshchuk. Timoshchuk stood up excitedly and spoke in Russian. Li Huan didn't understand what he was yelling, but it was probably something like thanks and hard work.

When the game started again, Manchester United did not dare to stick to it anymore, but it was difficult for them to continue to suppress Hoffenheim. The situation changed and their mentality changed. It can also be compared with Hoffenheim, who is desperately behind.At the beginning, Manchester United was able to stalemate with Hoffenheim in the midfield, but was forced to their own half by Hoffenheim after 5 minutes.

Manchester United's midfielder and defender were almost pushed together by Hoffenheim. Although dense defense is also a good choice, Li Huan's long shot is too much for Manchester United. If the foot hits the goal frame, the stronger the force, the more tricky the angle, or Van der Sar's inattention, it may result in a conceded goal.Moreover, Manchester United players dare not foul in this area, for fear of giving the opponent a free kick.Such a careful defense would make him more passive.

Seeing this situation, Ferguson immediately took countermeasures. He sent Park Ji-sung to the center to strengthen the interception in the midfield, mainly to deal with Li Huan. Li Huan should not be allowed to shoot long shots at will. This is too great a threat to Manchester United's defense.

In the last 15 minutes of the first half, Hoffenheim surrounded the home team's gate and launched a wave of strong attacks, with an average of one shot in a little over 2 minutes.Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was so busy that he became an octopus. He miraculously saved Li Huan's 3 high-quality long shots and Ruud van Nistelrooy's header in a row.The Hoffenheim fans stared at Manchester United's goal without even daring to blink, for fear of missing the goal, while the Manchester United fans were so nervous that they dared not speak out, with their hearts hanging in their throats.

The 45 minutes will soon pass, and the score on the field is still tied at 1:1. According to the regulations of the Champions League, Manchester United will advance with more away goals. Hoffenheim must score again if they want to advance.

Li Huan changed from a defensive midfielder to a forward midfielder at the last moment. Tymoshchuk defended diligently behind him, allowing Li Huan to charge towards Manchester United's defense without distraction.

When the fourth official on the sidelines held up the 2-minute stoppage time sign, Li Huan led the Hoffenheim players to launch the final wave of attack. Three players moved around him, two full-backs and two central defenders came up, only Tymoshchuk trailed behind.Hoffenheim's players are like an overwhelming net, firmly covering 11 Manchester United players.

Park Ji-sung followed Li Huan closely, as loyal as a puppy, but in Li Huan's view, the Korean was an annoying pet who got in the way, otherwise his long shot would have pierced through Van der Sar's gate.

Li Huan accelerated and got rid of the Korean, but when Li Huan passed Ronaldo with a bicycle and a cow, Park Ji-sung chased after him with Ronaldo.

Li Huan simply ignored Park Ji-sung and Ronaldo who were following behind, and told them to commit fouls if they had the guts to go straight forward with the ball, like a peerless sharp sword, rushing forward along a straight line, pointing directly at the center of the goal.There is an momentum of invincibility against those who stand in the way, and thousands of troops to defeat changes.

Carrick greeted him, and Li Huan made a lightning left kick and a right kick. The two fast spikes accelerated instantly, leaving Carrick behind.

When Li Huan spiked the ball continuously, the fast Ronaldo had already caught up first, but Li Huan's erratic legs and body made it impossible for Ronaldo to get off the ball, and he was worried about fouling. As a result, after a moment of hesitation, Li Huan passed.

Seeing that Li Huan overcame all obstacles and made it to the front of Manchester United's penalty area, Fletcher and Ferdinand came forward together, forming an encirclement circle with the three chasing players behind them, trying to enclose Li Huan in it.

Li Huan saw the opportunity quickly and knew that there was nothing he could do. He immediately flicked the instep of his right foot and passed it to Arshavin. Arshavin saw that the central defender and midfielder were attracted by Li Huan. Rubbing, the ball went straight over the heads of Fletcher and Ferdinand to the left side of the penalty area.

The moment Arshavin passed the ball, Van Nistelrooy had already started to activate. Arshavin made a diagonal pass, and Van Nistelrooy went straight into the penalty area from outside the penalty area. With the title of Ruud van Nistelrooy's small penalty area king, Manchester United players knew that if Ruud van Nistelrooy robbed him What will be the outcome of this point.But Fletcher and Ferdinand were attracted to Li Huan's side.Carrick was still behind Li Huan, Vidic was still far away from Ruud van Nistelrooy and where the ball landed, and Rooney was the closest to Ruud van Nistelrooy.In desperation, the little fat man had no choice but to grab Van Nistelrooy on the penalty area line.

Van Nistelrooy actually didn't want to fall. The ball passed by Arshavin was in a very good position and no one interfered.But Rooney had practiced boxing. Wherever Ruoney struggled, he was dragged and fell on his back on the turf. It was impossible for him to fall into the penalty area.

This is an obvious foul, and you can't deny it even if you want to deny it, but Rooney, who caused a catastrophe, still raised his hands to show his innocence. Although he was reckless, he knew what position it was. It is said to be similar to a penalty kick, or even better than a penalty kick.

The Hoffenheim fans in the stands roared, "Penalty kick! Penalty kick!" Many of them did not see clearly where Rooney fouled. A penalty kick is awarded, and a free kick can also be awarded.

The Hoffenheim players were already in the frontcourt, and they all surrounded them in a swish, signaling to the referee Larsson that Rooney had fouled. This was a free kick and Rooney had to be given a yellow card.

Generally speaking, the referee will easily award a free kick, but because Li Huan's Xiao Li Feidao is too famous, now the stoppage time is almost over, and it is still at Manchester United's home court, the referee Larson hesitates.

But at this time, Li Huan did a great job, which made people laugh and cry. He dragged the line referee in from the sidelines and asked the referee Larson to ask the line referee. The two referees negotiated briefly and finally made a decision. Tough decision, free kick awarded and Rooney shown a yellow card.

Manchester United players quit and came to protest one after another. Ferguson also loudly accused Larson on the sidelines and protested to the fourth official. Ferguson also knew that Larson's penalty was correct, but he had to protest and make a big noise. Make a fuss, even if this penalty cannot be changed, the subsequent penalty may be better for Manchester United.

Larsson insisted on his decision and came to the sidelines to show Ferguson a yellow card.

When Li Huan stood in front of the free kick, shouts of "Xiao Li Feidao!" and "Little Li Feidao!" rang out on the field.This cry is full of expectation, trust and pride.

Li Huan's expression was very relaxed, as if he was going on a date with his lover.

Sweat dripped from Van der Sar's tense face, as if he was facing a formidable enemy, as if he was mourning his concubine.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the ball in front of Li Huan, and everyone wanted to know how Li Huan would use this free kick that was almost on the penalty area line into Manchester United's goal.

The penalty spot is on the right side of the goal. Van der Sar formed a wall of 7 people on the right side of the penalty area, and he stood on the left side. Various free kicks in this position kept flashing in his mind. Guess how Li Huan is most likely to kick.

Vigorously volley through the wall?

Curveball over the wall?
Hit directly to the left side of your position?

lob?

When Van der Sar saw Li Huan's long run-up, he felt that Li Huan might volley and shoot through the wall.He shouted to his teammates not to hide, don't hide.

But after Li Huan quickly ran to the ball, he rubbed the ball lightly, and the ball flew over the wall and flew to the upper right corner of the goal.

"Another lob!"

Van der Sar was terrified and furious.He was fooled again.

The ball is in!
2:1!Hoffenheim took the lead again.

The camera faithfully recorded such a scene. The Manchester United players collectively turned their heads and stared at the ball flying into the net from the angle between the crossbar and the goal post, with expressions of astonishment, bewilderment and dejection, like a group of sculptures.
