Football irons are burning

Chapter 397 The Miracle of Istanbul [1]

On May 5, the 25-2004 UEFA Champions League was held in Istanbul.

This is also the last game of the season in the European arena.

The main forces of both sides have to do their best, and they must complete their work in one battle.

If Manchester City wins the championship, they will become a new giants. In terms of financial resources, they are very strong. In terms of championships, they are a little weaker. Champions League champions will definitely allow them to enter the giants.

And if Manchester United wins the championship, it will complete another three consecutive championships in the history of the Champions League. This will also tie the records of Ajax (1971-1973) and Bayern Munich (1974-1976).

Fans from both sides, as well as local fans, packed the entire Devil's Stadium to the brim.

After the game started, Manchester United attacked first.

Li Tie took the ball and quickly got rid of Ballack, but the opponent was really tight. Li Tie could only choose to play the ball and hit the ball to Ronaldo on the wing.

Ronaldo made a crazy breakthrough with the ball, but he was defended by Lampard and the ball was knocked out of the sideline.

Bridge threw a sideline ball, Li Tie took the ball and turned around and volleyed. The ball bounced off Gallas' feet.

Ballack kicked out with a big kick, Tony rushed up the frontcourt, and then headed back to the top. Kaka kept up with the ball and volleyed directly. The ball drew a strange outer S arc and hit the net headfirst, 1:0!

In the opening minute, Manchester City took the lead!

In the stands, Manchester City fans immediately roared crazily, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

Kaka also covered his ears with his hands excitedly, and ran to the sidelines to ask for cheers, which also made the Manchester City fans even more crazy.

Such a wonderful shot is indeed worth celebrating.

Manchester United fans are a little sad, but they have not lost confidence. After all, Manchester United has never let them down many times, especially with Li Tie in the team, so don't worry.

On the sidelines, Ancelotti also ran back and forth excitedly to celebrate. Over the years, being suppressed by Manchester United, he was a little out of breath.

This time in the Champions League, he prepared very well and let Kaka rest in the Queen's Cup, so, no matter what, he will win this championship today to justify himself.

Keane on the side was chewing gum. He was a true biography of Ferguson. Although he was a little upset at the moment, he was still not in a hurry.

The game continues quickly.

Manchester United still handed the ball to Li Tie again. Li Tie insisted on breaking through and came to the wing, but Ballack also followed up.

Li Tie knocked horizontally, Hulk got the ball in the middle, and then volleyed vigorously, but was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Hildebrand.

The corner kick was taken by Cristiano Ronaldo, and Li Tie hit the golden hook upside down in the penalty area. This time, he kicked Lampard, but no shot was made, and the referee also whistled for a foul.

Even if this attack failed.

Looking back, Manchester City quickly launched an attack.

Hildebrand kicked into the front court, and Tony won the header again in the fight with Pepe.

With a flick of his header, Qu Bo quickly inserted in from the side, caught the ball and wiped it in. Facing Heinze, he suddenly sent a lob shot, and the ball flew straight to the back corner!

Fortunately, Howard also made a pounce this time, holding the ball out of the crossbar and giving the opponent a corner kick.

Qu Bo shook his hand with some regret, he is also in good condition now, compared to another time and space, there is a world of difference.

In this time and space, his speed and technique are good. He is a top-notch striker, and his cooperation with Tony is also very tacit. For this reason, Larson and other strikers are all sitting on the bench.

However, Howard reacted very quickly this time. Don't look at him sometimes making some low-level mistakes, but at critical times, he is still reliable.

After the corner kick was taken, Heinze headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Ballack flew up from outside the penalty area with a kick, and the ball flew back like a cannonball, hitting the net headfirst, 2:0!

"Awww! Ahhh!"

Ballack roared wildly and rushed to the sidelines, and he couldn't hide his excitement at the moment!
Another World Cup, Manchester City is completely open today!
Manchester City fans went crazy again, the previous climax has not dissipated yet, unexpectedly, the aftertaste came again.

"Neighbor, you are dead!"

"Today let you die miserably!"

"It's our turn too, you are bound to lose today!"

"Michael Bull 13!"

Manchester City fans roared, the voice was very harsh, and it also made Manchester United fans full of worry.

The opponent's start was really smooth, and the two long shots were so accurate. Today's game is indeed a bit difficult!

On the sidelines, Fatty An ran to lose weight again, with a bright smile on his face.

Keane couldn't sit still anymore. The ball was actually marked by Hulk. He obviously didn't keep up. Therefore, Keane would also yell at the field, then came back, and glanced at the bench. But then he thought, it's only been a few minutes since the start of the game. If it's time to change players, isn't it a bit early?

Therefore, Keane still held back and did not speak.

On the field, Li Tie was already having a meeting with his teammates. He was marking Lampard at the time. Lampard often scored goals from long range this season, so Li Tie paid special attention to him and did not defend Ballack.

Who knows, Ballack grabbed the second spot for the ball, which is a bit unlucky.

"Let's cheer up, the opponent's morale is very high, we must go all out!"

Li Tie shouted loudly while clapping his hands.

Then he said: "Two goals are not the end, we need to strengthen our offense and try to get one back as soon as possible, and keep up with my rhythm!"

The teammates nodded one after another. At the moment, they were actually a little anxious, but with Li Tie's adjustment, they calmed down again.

After the re-kick-off, Li Tie took the ball and went down from the side. Ballack followed him again. Li Tie immediately cooperated with Ronaldo and continued to advance.

Ballack clung to Li Tie tightly, and Ronaldo made an attack by himself. He quickly passed the ball with one man, and then reached the outside of the penalty area, and then suddenly kicked a pass.

Rooney jumped up and missed the ball, but he also shook Gallas.

At the end, Hulk volleyed without stopping the ball, and Hildebrand flew to save the ball to the bottom line!

There was nothing wrong with the shot, but Hildebrand really played too well. Having a goalkeeper like this can indeed hold up half the sky.

Li Tie ran over quickly and patted Hulk on the shoulder, encouraging him to shoot this time.

Then go take the corner kick yourself.

However, looking at the opponent's defense, Li Tie did not play a high ball, but cooperated with Giggs.

Giggs knocked the ball back, Li Tie took the ball and dunked lightly, the ball reached his right foot, Li Tie immediately made a wonderful arc with one kick, the ball flew straight to the back corner of the cross!

Li Tie also kept his eyes on the flight path of the ball.

At this moment, Hildebrand retreated again and flew up, poked the ball with his right hand, the ball changed direction, hit the crossbar and bounced out!

"Hey!"

Manchester United fans in uniform, sigh!
Hildebrand roared, revealing his arrogance.

Manchester City players also flew towards Hildebrand one by one, hugged him, clapped hands, and thanked him for his miraculous save.

Undoubtedly, the shot was wonderful, and there was nothing wrong with the save. Hildebrand is worthy of being a top goalkeeper. His arrival has added a safety lock to Manchester City's defense.
