Chapter 320 Desperate
5 minutes later, Ferguson made a request for a substitution, and Vidic replaced Ferdinand.

It's really not a good thing to offend the coach. Even if you are the best central defender in England, the coach still asks you to be on the bench.

This is Vidic's first appearance this season, and his injury has kept him out for nearly half a year.

Originally, the combination of Ferdinand and Vidic's central defender made Manchester United's defense impenetrable. Ferguson did not worry about Manchester United's defense at all. There will be problems.

However, after Vidic was injured, David Shevchenko and Ferdinand have not been able to integrate well.

Moreover, this season Ferdinand often made mistakes and made some low-level mistakes.

Originally, Ferguson didn't want to use Vidic for the time being, because he had just returned to the team and the state of the game had not fully returned.

The Champions League game is no joke, so Vidic is still sitting on the bench.

However, Ferdinand's low-level mistakes made Ferguson unbearable, and he decided to replace Vidic.

Before Vidic came on the field, Ferguson specifically explained to him:

"I don't care what method you use, you must not let Ibrahimovic threaten the goal."

This kind of trivial matter is nothing to Vidic, because Vidic has strong physical fitness and is not afraid of confrontation. Among the central defenders in today's football, his ability can rank among the top five.

He is the first man in the Premier League who can defend the peak Drogba alone, and he has no temper in defending Drogba.

The Chelsea team led by Mourinho at the time with an all-star lineup couldn't cross the mountain of Manchester United. Vidic has an indelible contribution, because he can always rule Drogba into obedience.

Vidic's most outstanding ability is actually the ability in the air. He is simply an air bully. Anyone who competes with him for the header will not take advantage of it.

Ferguson once commented on Vidic:
"When Vidic is not on the court, as long as the opponent successfully passes the ball from the wing, I am a little worried. If Vidic is on the court, the opponent can pass it casually."

Of course, this is just Ferguson's exaggeration in order to praise Vidic, but he has to admit that Vidic's aerial ability is really amazing.

Why David Shepchenko suddenly had no problems in the hands of Ferguson, and he worked so hard, this may also have something to do with Vidic.

The main reason why Mourinho abandoned David Shepchenko is not actually a matter of David's life style, but because Chelsea does not lack excellent central defenders at all.

After David Shepchenko came to Manchester United, he found that Manchester United did not lack a good central defender. If he didn't work hard, he would have no ball to play in Manchester United.

Ferguson initially used him to rotate Ferdinand and Vidic. It was not until Vidic was injured that David Shevchenko took the starting position.

However, Vidic will come back after all, and David Shepchenko must show his ability before Vidic returns, so he worked extraordinarily hard.

Vidic's injury was like God gave David Shevchenko a second chance, and his outstanding performance has also been recognized by Ferguson.

Ferguson feels that David Shevchenko will definitely become an excellent central defender, because he has no obvious weaknesses, physical confrontation, and skills.

In fact, Ferguson believes that it is a bit wasteful for David Shepchenko to play as a central defender. His most suitable position is a defensive midfielder like Vieira.

Vidic and Ferdinand's Manchester United defense was perfect enough. After Vidic came back, Ferguson wanted to train David Shepchenko into a defensive midfielder.

Scholes and Giggs have reached the end of their careers. Sooner or later, Ferguson will have to solve the problems of Manchester United's midfield and backcourt. It is not reliable at all to expect Manchester United to help him solve the problems.

Because, sometimes, the players introduced by the club may not necessarily solve the problems of Manchester United.

After Vidic played, Manchester United still did not change their attack-oriented strategy, and Mourinho also made adjustments to Inter Milan's tactics.

More than half an hour of the game has passed, and the slow-heating Inter Milan team has also found the state of the game. Therefore, Mourinho also lifted the bus tactic, and the team changed to the 4-3- 1-2 formation.

Manchester United's advantage on the field is no longer so obvious, because the Inter Milan team entering the game is also a terrifying team.

In the next ten minutes of the first half, Manchester United and Inter Milan were [-]-[-] each. The offense of both sides played back and forth. It seemed very intense, but neither side scored a goal.

Sometimes, things like luck come when you say it. The first half of the game is coming to an end, and the referee has already put his whistle in his mouth. In less than ten seconds, the whistle for the end of the first half will sound .

At this time, Cambiasso was organizing an attack in the midfield. Seeing that the referee was about to blow the whistle for the first half of the game, he simply shot a super long-range shot directly in the midfield.

Originally, Cambiasso held Meng's attitude. Anyway, he didn't have time to organize another attack. Why don't Meng take a long shot and don't waste a chance to attack.

As a result, Cambiasso's long-range shot even he himself did not believe it would be so accurate.

The ball has a slight arc, and it is a typical deciduous kick. The ball falls quickly when it reaches the goal.

The goalkeeper Van der Sar stood a little forward, and when Cambiasso shot, Van der Sar hurriedly backed away.

Because Cabiasso's shot was almost a fairy ball, Van der Sar, who flew to save, failed to touch the ball. The ball hit the crossbar in the upper right corner and bounced into the goal.

The ball is in.

1:2
More than 7 Manchester United fans at Old Trafford opened their mouths wide open, unable to recover for a long time.

Some fans were still in a state of confusion. They didn't even know what happened on the field, so they just lowered their heads and chatted with their friends next to them for a few days, and Inter Milan scored a goal.

"Don't you even have time to take a short break to watch a game?"

After seeing the goal, Mourinho jumped up from the bench, and then, after the referee blew the whistle for the goal, he continued to blow the whistle for the end of the half-time game.

Van der Sar sat in front of the goal, his eyes became a little dull, and he began to blame himself for not being able to keep Cambiasso's shot out.

Cambiasso's luck is really good. This long-range shot is definitely one of the five best goals in this year's Champions League.

Therefore, luck is really something that catches people off guard and unexpected. Ferguson on the sidelines is already speechless. It may not be Mourinho who beat him, but luck.

Ferguson did not expect that Manchester United's luck in the second round was so bad. After the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, Ferguson stood up and left Old Trafford directly. Manchester United had fallen into a desperate situation .

 Ask for a ticket!
