Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

In the 29th minute, under pressure from Lizzie and Scholes, Iniesta made a mistake in his cross pass from the backcourt and sent the ball directly to Luo who was lurking next to Xavi.

The latter intercepted the ball and shot directly from the spot, forcing his way into the penalty area and was knocked down by Marcos, but the referee refused to award a penalty.

However, Barcelona could only frequently commit fouls to block Manchester United's counterattacks. Deco and Marcos received yellow cards one after another, and the latter was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards and missed the second leg.

In the first half of the game, Li Qi was relatively low-key and pragmatic. He did not do too many personal performances. Instead, he focused on assisting defense and organizing the midfield. He blocked Xavi's route and helped Manchester United win back the ball at least five times, allowing the possession rate to remain above 40%.

Because Li Qi believes that there are two best ways for Manchester United to destroy Barcelona and Xavi's football philosophy.

The first is extremely efficient counterattacks and frontcourt assaults, which is what Manchester United did in the first five or six minutes, but this process cannot last long;

The second method is to interrupt Xavi's organizational rhythm, interrupt him before Barcelona's midfield creates a siege and creates a gap in the defense, press Barcelona's formation back, and let them reorganize from the beginning...

In the first 45 minutes of the first half, Manchester United did a good job, creating two scoring opportunities, including a penalty kick. The referee did not give the other penalty kick and gave Barcelona's defense three yellow cards, while Barcelona did not get a single shot on target.

Yes, until the half-time break, although Barcelona had shots, none of them were on target, which is a very rare phenomenon. It can be seen that Manchester United's response and restriction in the backcourt in this game were very effective.

In the second half, Barcelona still took the lead in attacking, but Manchester United did not launch a lightning attack as they did at the beginning of the first half. Instead, they stayed in position to defend and continued to limit Barcelona's attack. Only when Barcelona became tired and impatient did Manchester United have a chance.

However, Barcelona also made some adjustments. Iniesta retreated deeper to assist Xavi in ​​pushing the ball across the half court. In addition, Messi also tried to change some of his playing habits, trying to get rid of Park Sam-fai's entanglement unexpectedly.

In the 47th minute, Iniesta cleverly got rid of Li Qi's interception and made a straight pass. Messi took the ball and cut inside, made a fake move, dodged Park Ji-sung's defense, seized the rare space, and made a low shot with his right foot from outside the penalty area.

but……

"Pfft!" Li Qi almost laughed out loud, "It seems that little Leo still hasn't practiced his right foot enough!"

Messi's hasty shot was a bit off target and almost went out of bounds, but overall it marked the beginning of Barcelona's offensive in the second half.

In the 49th minute, Eto'o passed the ball back to Zambrotta, who fired a long shot from 30 yards out, but Van der Sar saved it over the crossbar. Barcelona finally got their first shot on target.

Then, in the 52nd minute, Barcelona played a wonderful combination in the middle and almost scored.

Deco, Messi and Iniesta made consecutive short passes in the middle, luckily and just right avoiding the triple interception of Leakey, Carrick and Hargreaves.

Finally, Iniesta faked a shot from the edge of the penalty area and sent a through ball. Fortunately, Eto'o took the ball and cut into the right side of the penalty area. His single shot from 10 yards hit the side net!

However, in order to get closer to the front line, the presence of Xavi and Deco made Barcelona's midfield a little disconnected. Manchester United immediately seized the opportunity of Barcelona's impatience and mistakes in the midfield and retaliated.

In the 53rd minute, Yaya Toure hesitated after his pass was blocked. Li Qi immediately teamed up with Rooney to snatch the ball and launched a counterattack on the spot.

However, Rooney's hasty long shot was blocked by Gabi Milito and went out of bounds. Manchester United got the first corner kick in the second half.

Li Qi raised his arms high and took a corner kick from the right side, heading straight for Barcelona's far post.

The attention of Barcelona's defense was drawn to the middle by Rooney and Ronaldo, who once again played an exaggerated pick-and-roll. Wes Brown headed the ball back to the middle of the penalty area, beating Zambrotta from the back post.

Carrick stopped the ball with his chest and then lightly flicked it past Eto'o who rushed to defend, and volleyed the ball from 10 yards on the left side of the penalty area!

Unfortunately, the ball shot through the crowd and hit the side net...

In the subsequent game, after the first 10 minutes of the second half, after Barcelona adjusted their attack, Manchester United gained more initiative.

Rijkaard's premise of using Xavi and Deco instead caused Yaya Toure to fall into the double team of Manchester United's 3R. The ball was not smooth from the backcourt, and for a while he could only pass the ball to the frontcourt through long passes. However, Hargreaves, Carrick and Vidic won almost all the high balls from the backcourt...

After playing for another five minutes, Rijkaard, who couldn't bear to see Messi struggling under Park Sam-fee's close entanglement, finally decided to replace him early.

Indeed, Li Qi has also experienced that it is really painful to be targeted by Park Ji-sung without advance preparation and help from teammates.

Park Sam-fei will always pester you and force you to run at high speed regardless of whether you have the ball or not. Not only will you have no time to observe and think, but even the space to breathe is filled with the smell of secondhand hot air exhaled from his mouth, which is very disgusting.

And although Park Sam-fei does not have any outstanding attributes, his speed, agility, and left and right foot are very balanced, and his technical basics are solid. He is a small hexagonal warrior, and he has abundant physical strength and is very focused and dedicated in the game.

If you ask him to break through the dense defense, it may not be effective, but it is very suitable to stick to the opponent's core players! Before Park Sam-Fei uses up the last drop of his energy, Manchester United will not give up the full-court press on the opponent's core players!

Sir Alex really made the best use of his players. Messi, who is not very good at playing without the ball, was almost without the ball throughout the game...

In the 62nd minute, Rijkaard replaced Messi with Bojan, who was better at running without the ball. But Sir Alex was not stupid. A talent like Park Sanfei would not confront Bojan, so Hargreaves could take on the minor role. So Park Sanfei targeted Xavi.

Now it's Harvey's turn to feel uncomfortable. He is even more difficult to deal with than the cunning Richie. In two words: so annoying!

Li Qi was also freed from the burden of restricting Xavi and began to prepare for something: After two years, it was rare for him to come back to Camp Nou. How could he not leave some data? At worst, he could just not celebrate...

A small celebration, like making a scissors hand gesture, will be fine.

……

Just as Li Qi was thinking about how to open up the situation, the Sir Alex Ferguson also made a bold move.

Of course, the main reason lies with the little mule. This stubborn donkey, I don’t know whether it was because he didn’t score the opening penalty or the subsequent penalties were not awarded, but he seemed to be competing with penalties.

In the 67th minute, Li Qi passed the ball to the side in the middle, and Ronaldo made the worst choice after stopping the ball. He started from the spot and headed straight into the middle of Barcelona's penalty area with the ball, just like holding a bomb to blow up a bunker...

Naturally, Ronaldo died a miserable death. He lost the ball and was knocked flying, but fortunately he was not injured.

However, Ronaldo, who did not get a penalty, still complained to the referee and asked for a penalty. When the referee ignored him, he even wanted to pull off the black clothes that represented the referee's majesty.

Only when Li Qi saw the chicken was fast and rushed forward to interrupt and separate them, he avoided an unnecessary yellow gem card.

But the Sir Alex on the sidelines naturally knew that the little mule's stubborn temper had come back again. If it was in any other game, he would just let him be and let him vent, but that didn't happen in this game.

It's the Champions League semi-final, and the situation is already turning in our favor. We can't let Ronaldo mess things up.

So in the 69th minute, Manchester United also made a substitution, Giggs came on and Ronaldo came off.

The gesture Giggs made to Li Qi after he came on the pitch was very simple: change the formation to 4-4-2, and let Li Qi move up a little more to play as a shadow striker!

Oh no! Is the stage set like this? The two heroes who were supposed to play the leading roles have left the stage one after another. This is the first time that Ricardo Liqi has to be treated as the protagonist of this book!

……

[Oh my god, breaking news: Manchester United finally changed its manager on October 2024, 10! Is it known as the West Ham United incident?

I guess the other 19 Premier League teams would disagree.

We can only blame West Ham for playing too hard yesterday, which made it too late for everyone to have fun...

Unexpectedly, Teng Sheng won two championships after two and a half years.

The second unexpected thing was that the interim head coach who took over was actually assistant coach Van Nistelrooy!

How did you, the king of the penalty area, teach these 7 players how to shoot when you were an assistant coach? They didn't even score an empty goal, and the head coach was fired...

Oh!

It seems that I have discovered something extraordinary...
