The strongest waist king of the Red Devils

Chapter 299 The state has improved
In the second half of the game, the players of the Sporting Lisbon team recovered somewhat and took the lead in attacking Manchester United.

Miguel Veloso dribbled the ball in the middle, and after attracting the defense of Rooney and Scholes, he passed the ball diagonally to Izmailov on the right.

Izmailov unloaded the ball steadily and walked forward with it.

Seeing Evra coming to defend, Carrick was also preparing to help defend on the side, and Izmailov passed the ball back to Abel who was responding.

Abel received the ball, turned around and changed direction. After avoiding Giggs' return to grab the ball, he knocked the ball across to Joao Moutinho who was responding in the middle.

Having got the ball, Joao Moutinho made the first move and passed the ball long to Leandro Romagnoli who was waiting on the left.

However, Sun Qi had already noticed this and rushed over in time.

Encountered by Sun Qi's strong defense, Leandro Romagnoli failed to win the ball, and the ball was pushed out by Sun Qi first.

Scholes received Sun Qi's header and passed the ball back to Rio Ferdinand.

Rio Ferdinand advanced with the ball himself.

Rio Ferdinand passed the ball back to goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar when Yannick de Jalo went up.

Van der Sar controlled the ball and passed it to Evra on the left.

Evra and Carrick cooperated one-two, got rid of Izmailov's defense, and then crossed the ball to Carrick in the middle.

Carrick turned around with the ball and knocked it across to Scholes.

Scholes passed the ball with one kick and transferred the ball to Giggs in front of the left.

Giggs has already run out of space, successfully received a pass from Scholes, moved the ball forward, and cut into the restricted area of ​​Sporting Lisbon.

However, it was jointly defended by Miguel Veloso and Tonelle, resulting in the compression of the passing space. Giggs knocked the ball to the wing before Abel returned to the defense. Evra who responded.

Evra dribbles the ball down and makes a cross.

The ball quickly flew to the back of Sporting Lisbon's penalty area.

There, Ronaldo had already plugged in at high speed, and after getting rid of Ronnie's entanglement, he jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal.

It's just that Ronaldo's header this time was blocked by the brave goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic, and then quickly fell to the ground, stretched out his hand to catch it, and hugged the ball tightly in his arms, avoiding Ronaldo's supplementary shot.

Goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic, during the half-time break, received a key point of comfort from Sporting Lisbon coach Paul Bento, and the goalkeeper coach added to him the shooting habits of Ronaldo, Rooney, and Manchester United players such as Scholes, helping Vladimir Stojkovic to supplement this information and know what he needs to pay attention to when he saves these people's shots.

This time, seeing that Ronaldo had already headed the goal, goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic immediately flew towards the near corner of the goal and handed over the defense of the back point of the goal to teammate Anderson Polgar.

Finally, goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic successfully blocked Ronaldo's header.

Such a successful save also made Vladimir Stojkovic's self-confidence soar, and even the second reaction was much faster. Finally, he completely controlled the ball, avoided being shot by Ronaldo, and resolved this crisis.

Holding the ball tightly in his arms, Vladimir Stojkovic felt better about himself.

After getting up, he first looked at the surrounding situation, Vladimir Stojkovic, then quickly ran forward a few steps, and threw the ball vigorously to the left back Ronnie.

The high ball was opened to the forward field. The two starting forwards of Sporting Lisbon, Liedsson and Yannick Dejalo, compared to Manchester United's double central defenders, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, and even Sun Qi and Wes Brown, did not have an advantage in grabbing points. The success rate of long passes was too low.

In the second half of the game, goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic mainly used short passes and hand throws to kick off the ball, trying to control the ball as much as possible for his team.

With the possession of the ball, they can play this game better, instead of being exhausted by Manchester United controlling the rhythm of the game.

After firmly stopping the throw from goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic, Ronnie turned and dribbled the ball forward.

When Ronaldo came to defend, Ronnie and Miguel Veloso hit the wall in the middle to cooperate, and successfully got rid of Ronaldo's defense.

After regaining the ball, Ronnie continued to rush forward with the ball.

After passing the center line, Ronnie did not challenge Sun Qi who came forward to intercept, but knocked the ball across to Joao Moutinho in the middle.

After taking control of the ball, João Moutinho scrambled to pass it straight up to Yannick Dejalo.

Yannick Dejalo leaned on Vidic, got the ball and split it to Leandro Romagnoli on the left.

Leandro Romagnoli, with a two-to-one cooperation with Lederson, got rid of Wes Brown's defense and continued to pass from the bottom.

The ball quickly flew to the rear of Manchester United's penalty area.

There, Izmailov had already plugged in at high speed, and after throwing off Evra, the header dived to the top.

However, Izmailov's header hit a bit squarely, right in the arms of goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, and was firmly confiscated by him.

Unable to seize this opportunity, Izmailov fell on the grass, very annoyed, and beat the grass vigorously to vent his depression.

In the 49th minute, after Sun Qi broke through Joao Moutinho in the middle, he passed the ball diagonally to Giggs in front of the left.

Giggs did not stop the ball, but directly faced Sun Qi's pass, picked the ball up again, and passed it to Evra who was covering the side.

Evra got the ball, quickly bottomed, near the corner of the penalty area, and then made a cross, and passed the ball to the back of the penalty area of ​​Sporting Lisbon.

There, Ronaldo was a little slow to catch up. Although he flew to tackle the shot, he still couldn't touch the ball.

The ball slid directly over and went out of the baseline.

Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, both sides made substitutions.

On the Manchester United side, Rooney was replaced with Ivica Olic.

Rooney was in very good condition in the game, but after all, he just came back from injury. Coach Ferguson is still more cautious in using Rooney.

He still hopes that Rooney can continue to maintain his health and state, and continue to perform well in the next games.
