v2 Chapter 86: Although defeated, it is not sad

In fact, as early as the end of the first round, some media questioned Slomka's choice. After the game, it was said that the advantage of two goals is not safe for the second round away.

But at that time, most of the media were trying to render a two-ball victory and zero defending champions. It was one step away from making history to the final. No one thought that the hidden danger would be great. And because of the long-term Bayern, Schalke fans and other neutral German fans The irony of the media used to insult the giants.

   But now the situation is like this, it seems that the face was not beaten!

   Only half an hour, from 2:0 to 2:2, Schalke suddenly fell from the cloud to the ground, and it may continue to fall into the deep cliff.

   Obviously, Manchester United's momentum is not overwhelmed by Schalke.

   Assistant Schalke Biskens walked solemnly to Slomka and said, "Milko..."

  Slomka patted his shoulder lightly: "Old man, what's the hurry, isn't the total score even now?"

  Sloemka took this opportunity to call Zhou Tiancheng to the sidelines: "Chou, do you know what we should do now?"

   "Offense, it is enough to score an away goal."

  Slomka's mouth twitched a smile, squeezing his eyes at Biskens, that means: look, he has a tacit understanding with me!

   But immediately Sloemka seized the limited time and succinctly dealt with Zhou Tian: "You and Ivan should pay attention to compressing Scholes' space, he is the real brain of Manchester United."

  Zhou Tiancheng was a little surprised: "I don't need me to take care of Ronaldo?"

   "That's not your responsibility. Just think of Scholes as good. You can make appropriate defenses in the past, but don't be too distracted by him, trust your teammates."

   "Okay." Zhou Tiancheng nodded. Although he is still not very relieved, now he can only choose to complete his own job.

Sloemka is actually reluctant to make a choice. If he has two Zhou Tiancheng, he can strangle all of the side lanes, covering the whole audience is no problem, but now he can only let Zhou Tiancheng do the right thing. . Otherwise, Rakitic's pressure will be even greater.

   Manchester United tasted the sweetness on the side of the side today, and will naturally play with Ronaldo on the side, while Giggs on the other side also ran to the middle with few opportunities to get the ball.

   Ferguson does not prevent players from doing so. Now Manchester United has an absolute advantage in ball control. Looking for opportunities through local headcount is also a way.

  Since the start of the game, Scholes's kicking has become very healthy: they are running back and forth laterally without the ball in the midfield, and they rarely catch the ball. But Scholes' play was exactly Ferguson's intentions-he saw Schalke's intentions from Zhou Tiancheng's activity area, and calculated the plan to indicate that Scholes used the fake run to involve Zhou Tiancheng's attention.

In this way, the most terrible problem appeared: Schalke's midfield was torn horizontally back and forth, the distance between Zhou Tiancheng and Rakitic continued to increase, and the vacuum in the middle, whether it was Carrick or Giggs can make full use of, both can pass energy shot.

   And Ronaldo's personal super dribbling ability has already messed up Schalke's back defense, like the tightness of the previous airtight compact, it is almost impossible to achieve.

   After the first half hour of tide-like offensive, Manchester United has been fully alive. In the last half of the first half, their offensive was even higher. The home fans were already full of chants, singing the team song, and cooperating with the team's offensive.

  He Wei couldn't stand it anymore. For most of the hour, Schalke hardly threatened Van der Sar's offensive. But as an explanation, he can only suppress anxious and irritable emotions and said with emotion: "Manchester United really did not give Schalke any chance. It is estimated that the two-ball disadvantage of the first round completely inspired them and let one prevent The anti-football team has full control of the siege, and Schalke is not only weak in technology."

In fact, some Schalke fans have already expressed disappointment in their hearts. Although they still emotionally hope that Zhou Tiancheng will be a magical pen at a certain moment, but now the game has not seen any improvement offensive, even the opponents restricted area Can't get close, what else is there to talk about?

  According to this rhythm, it is good to be able to hold 2:2 at halftime...

  Although Schalke fans knew that the team wanted to reach the summit in Europe, it was still waiting, but the beautiful victory in the first round hooked everyone's fantasies.

   But reality often tells everyone one thing, fantasy this thing is used to be broken...

   If it wasn’t for Neuer, the Schalke fan’s fantasies might be eliminated in halftime.

   Fortunately, the first half ended at 2:2. Everyone hopes that Slomka will adjust his locker room in the midfield.

  As Marcel Leif's midfielder commented: Schalke only needs one goal to get back to life, and now still retain the hope of overtime!

   Everything, there is a chance.

In the locker room in the midfield, Slomka closed the door and glanced at the players with their heads down in front of him. His eyes flashed with sadness. He couldn't bear to criticize the players. From the age perspective, he regarded these players as his own juniors. How can he not understand the mood of the players to win? No one does not want to be the one who made history, especially the situation in front of him.

But now the situation is pressing. If you want to play a different look in the second half, Sloemka must put his face up and hit everyone with a heavy hammer: "Are you coming to compare with the other person as a gentleman? Where is the aggressiveness of defense? It’s normal for a player like Ronaldo to be unstoppable, but why not let him down? Stop him from entering the danger zone?"

  Sloemka said, his eyes were swimming back and forth on several defenders. Hevedes and Westman were stared so that they could not look directly at them. In fact, they had more in mind.

Speaking of this, Sloemka turned sharply: "But the score is not bad, at least we haven't lost yet... So, at least the second half started, and we played up a wave, how did they press us, we would go back The opportunity for remediation is in your own hands. I think you all want to be remembered by Schalke’s history and see your performance."

  Sloemka finished, picked up a bottle of mineral water, dried half a bottle at a stretch, and then squeezed the remaining half of the bottle rigidly, and the water was sprayed to the ground.

   This move made everyone feel tight.

   "Gosh, Zhou, if we can't get back, wouldn't our end be like this..."

Zhou Tiancheng turned a blind eye: "Relax, the boss also needs to vent. The first half did indeed play too shit. Do what the boss said, do him a few times at the beginning, just to score a goal, it's not difficult ,right?"

  ……

Easy side to fight again, Schalke in a dangerous situation began to fight against Manchester United for a high position. After the first half, even the defenders realized that the deadlock was not a way, the team's thinking was unified, and Schalke 04's midfield rivalry ratio The first half did better. Scholes returned to the backcourt for the first time in the second half. Zhou Tiancheng directly came over to shovel. Rakitic took advantage of this opportunity to take a long shot from the left foot outside the penalty area and tested Van der Sar.

Although Van der Sar's finger touched gently, the ball hit the side net with a slight difference, but the positive signal sent by this attack was still enough to cheer up Marcel Leif. There was no such danger of reaching the other side in the first half. The zone's counterattack, so he expected this to be the credit of the head coach's midfield locker room: "The effect of Sloemka's midfield adjustment seems to be immediate, this is the horn of Schalke's counterattack!"

   And the Manchester United stars felt the strength exerted by Schalke 04 in the second half, and their expressions became more serious. While Schalke took the penalty before the next corner kick, several players on the back line gathered together for a small meeting.

   "Nemania, Michael, please take care of Zhou and let him out, if you have any big troubles, don't you know!" Vandersad told Vidic and Carrick seriously, the tone was very direct.

   "Edwin, tell us what's the use, didn't play in the first half of the week, but it has nothing to do with us." Vidic quickly cleared his relationship with himself.

   In fact, this is true. Manchester United mainly relied on midfield to dominate the scene in the first half. Zhou Tiancheng had few opportunities to get the ball. Naturally, there could not be too much threat. This credit is really not a back line.

   But the next corner defense is not Vidic's choice. As a one-meter-one big man, his responsibility is naturally to mark Schalke's first height Zhou Tiancheng.

Rakitic took a corner kick and Zhou Tian came to want to go to the front point to take a break, but all the people in the penalty area could not be squeezed through, and seeing the ball came straight to the middle of the road, Zhou Tiancheng could only pull onions in the dry land and force Take off in the middle.

   Vidic was originally full of confidence, but after he used up his waist explosive power, he secretly screamed badly.

  Zhou Tiancheng is still on his head!

  Vidic wanted to yell at what monster was in front of him. He was at the peak of his 28-year-old bounce, even in the face of the top Premier League Airbus Drogba!

   The only thing he was thankful for was that Zhou Tiancheng's header was slightly higher than the beam. If this head goes in, Vidic may face a big player in the future to fight for the header, and he must have a shadow in his heart.

But it wasn’t just him. Schalke’s sudden effort in the second half made Ferguson feel calm and tore another piece of gum silently-many people knew he had a heart attack, but many people didn’t know that he chewed the gum to relieve it. Tension is not something that Manchester United fans are talking about. Lord Ferguson chews gum and Lippi smokes a cigar.

  It is not difficult to see that these successive threats also made Ferguson feel pressured. He even looked back at Park Zhixing on the bench.

   Schalke's two offensives were strategically effective. At least Manchester United did not dare to attack too quickly, but first slowed down and controlled the rhythm in the backcourt. Although this means that Schalke will certainly lose the initiative on the ball, at least it will not threaten the defense.

   The opponent passed in the backcourt, Schalke was not in a hurry, they did not suffer anyway.

   Manchester United is also really patient, and passed the ball in the backcourt for ten minutes to make sure that Schalke will not be pressed tighter. They gradually pushed the ball to the midfield.

   But as soon as he advanced to the midfield, Zhou Tiancheng was like a hunter, approaching from the side and back, stealing before Scholes received the ball, and advancing at a high speed from the middle circle arc.

   "Pretty, counterattack! Zhou Tiancheng passed Carrick, Kuranyi was already behind! The ball was scored on the right, this is... Altintop! Single pole! Opportunity!!!"

  He Wei's series of roars showed the whole process of counterattack, but unfortunately the Altentop stopped the ball a little during the high-speed attack, and finally the shot angle was too positive, directly confiscated by Van der Sar.

   Marcel Reeve thumped his feet: "Ah! Khalil Altentop, he could have been a hero..."

   The voice hadn't fallen yet, and there was a sudden burst of fierce cheer on the court. Van der Sar drove directly to the frontcourt to find Ronaldo accurately. At present, only Boldon is defending him on the wing!

   "Danger this time! Manchester United turned back! Retreat to defend the middle lane, he wants to cut in!" He Wei's eyes widened, fully expressing the state of changing from surprise to fright in one thought.

  He Wei has already guessed Ronaldo's next operation. Schalke players are also aware of it, but now the lack of defensive lines is a serious injury. The two can't prevent Ronaldo!

   And C Ronaldo did not have too much dribbling this time, throwing away Bordon with the starting speed, and then did not give Hevedes a chance to prevent the tackle, and shot from the outside of the left foot outside the penalty area, flying directly to the far corner.

  Noel was aiming at the ball's route and moved quickly. The ball's flight line gave him a very bad feeling! He tried his best to open his arms, not asking for anything else, even if it was just rubbing a little bit...

   Such a simple goal, but in the end made him desperate, watching the ball hang into the upper left corner.

  Cristiano Ronaldo rewrote the score to ~lightnovelpub.net~ on his own. Manchester United completed a key goal overtake.

   Old Trafford gave their peerless genius a deafening cheer, and what made Chinese fans uncomfortable is that Zhou Tiancheng was lonely and helplessly shook his head and became C Ronaldo's second-degree background board...

   fell behind, Slomka also thought of such an extreme situation before the game, so he decisively changed to Priel and formed a forward tower with Kuranyi.

   But in the face of the Bundesliga opponent's strange move, the effect in front of Manchester United was minimal. Ferguson replaced Fletcher and Park Zhixing in a row, and built a copper wall and iron wall in the midfield and backcourt. The striker's ability to hit the head was no longer strong. There was no midfield and side transportation, and it was also passive water.

   Manchester United did not even give Schalke any chance to counterattack. Wave after wave of offensives steadily exhausted the time of the game.

   Even if Zhou Tiancheng's physical fitness, the referee Busaka sounded the final whistle at the moment, but also directly covered his face and fell on the lawn.

   Old Trafford was caught in a reversal carnival. At this moment, Schalke players seemed to have been forgotten. The satellite broadcast signals were all given to Ronaldo who scored twice.

   It wasn't until Ferguson and the players celebrated that the camera flashed past, aiming deeply at Zhou Tiancheng with his head down.

He Wei said in a timely manner: "This result is indeed cruel for the twenty-year-old Zhou Tiancheng, but it is also the best growth! In this part of playing with Manchester United, it can be said that although they are defeated, they are worthy of the name, and they are in the Champions League. The best record in the history of the semi-finals is not to be sad. Although they are so close to the creation of the myth, the myth only exists in the legend. Schalke 04 has deserved the respect of the giants!"
