431 Manchester United legend

Remember Manchester United's super substitute Sheringham?As a hero of Manchester United's Champions League victory in 1999, the former killer also talked about tonight's final at Wembley. "I still remember the brilliance of 1999, which was an unprecedented achievement. It was the 15th year of my career, and I had never stood on the highest podium before, and that season was three championships. We reversed Bayern in the last 2 minutes of that game. Of course, I wouldn’t be surprised if Manchester United replicated the glory of the 1999 final tonight, or even decided the winner at the last minute.” Said the “Super Substitute” .

"When you play for a team like Manchester United, you're always going to never stop trying to win and never give up until the final whistle. The last two minutes of that game were the best of my career. In the 2 minutes, the equalizer goal was completely intuitive; as for the second goal, remember when David (Beckham) took the corner to the near post, I knew my position was not particularly good. , so I adjusted my body and slid the ball to the back post, and I knew we had players lurking there."

The "ambush player" that Sheringham mentioned is actually Solskjaer, who is also known as a "super substitute": "I think Ferguson already has a plan to deal with Barcelona in his mind. Indeed, people sometimes Very afraid of an attacking line with the likes of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta, they are all unrivaled players, but if Manchester United can hold them down in the half, they will not be able to show their skills and threaten Manchester United Yes." Sheringham continued: "Similarly, Guardiola must also be racking his brains on how to limit Rooney and Li Yu. I very much hope to see Van der Sar win the highest honor in Europe at the last moment of his career. Big Ear Cup, because he deserves such an honor."

Sheringham is full of hope for Manchester United, but another well-known player in English football, McManaman, does not take it seriously.

"As a player who has left footprints in Liverpool and Real Madrid, I don't want Manchester United to win, and I don't want Barcelona to raise the cup. Manchester United just surpassed Liverpool to win the 19th league title, but if it is purely from football and viewing From a sexual point of view, I prefer to stand on the side of Barcelona. They are more entertaining. If I have to predict the outcome of the game, I estimate that Barcelona will win two goals. The score may be 2-0 or 3-1, but , I always think that it will be a thrilling game, the La Liga champion will face the Premier League champion, the scene will be very spectacular."

Will the truth be as predicted by which predecessor?

1-3, in the finale of the Europa League, Barcelona finally bid farewell to their 1011 season with such a tragic score.Messi's goal in the first half of the game once made Barcelona see the hope of winning the Earth Defense War, but in the end it only saved the team from being bloodbathed by their opponents.Messi used his goals to exaggerate the tragedy of the Wembley Stadium, and at the same time drew an intriguing exclamation mark for his ups and downs season.

So who is the hero of Manchester United's victory?

Ferguson pointed out unabashedly before the game: "Li Yu has matured a lot compared to two years ago. In the 2009 final, Li Yu didn't show his due strength at all. In this game, he will be the champion of the game. The team's key bargaining chip against Barcelona." Ferdinand also praised: "Li Yu can always stand up when the team needs it, and the shocking kick against Manchester City is not only staged at Old Trafford this season The most exciting scene, and it also proved Li Yu's dominance in important games." [

The legendary Swedish superstar Henrik Larsson, who has played for Barcelona and Manchester United, said before the game that Li Yu will exert his greatest energy behind Rooney. As long as he can keep moving in the middle, he will have Chance to score.The progress of the game confirmed people's speculation. Li Yuhao appeared in the team's No. 9 and a half position in suspense, and played an extremely important role in Manchester United's offensive system.

In just 8 minutes of the opening, Li Yu almost opened the scoring for Manchester United. Van der Sar's precise long pass across 80 meters directly passed Barcelona's defensive formation. Li Yu turned offside and strode straight into the penalty area. This can not help but remind people of the wonderful blitz that Van der Sar assisted Li Yu to complete the ecstasy in the opening 49 seconds of the match between Manchester United and Aston Villa in the Premier League.

It's a pity that this classic scene could not be reproduced. Valdez, the best goalkeeper in La Liga this season, attacked in time and destroyed the ball before Li Yu got it.

In the 22nd minute, Li Yu took the ball from the left and launched a counterattack. Facing the defensive expert Mascherano, Li Yu directly kicked the ball forward, and he rushed out of the lane outside the sideline to speed up overtaking. Although Mascherano finally Before Li Yu was about to complete the breakthrough, he fell to the ground and shoveled the ball out of the sideline, but this Carlos-style dribble still won the applause of the fans.

When the ball was kicked out of bounds, Li Yu kicked the ball at 45 degrees at the first time, and accurately found Park Ji-sung, who was inserted into the penalty area. Unfortunately, the number one star in Asia, who was obviously out of shape today, failed to complete the turn immediately after stopping the ball in the chest, wasting a lot of time. The wonderful biography of Li Yu.

In the 27th minute of the game, Li Yu's goal tipped the balance of the game.Fabio steals the opponent's throw-in, Li Yu takes the ball and plays a one-two with Carrick, then crosses into the penalty area diagonally from the right, and after completing the wall-bumping cooperation with Giggs, Li Yu gets a shot in the penalty area , the Red Devils No. 9 did not stop the ball, and directly shot with his right foot in response to Giggs' knockback. The ball hit the upper left corner of the goal.This is Wayne Rooney's 9 goals in 4 Champions League games this season, and this goal once rekindled Manchester United's hope of defeating the Cosmos at Wembley Stadium.

However, after another rematch, Barcelona took full control of the initiative of the game, but the score remained unchanged.

Fans who are familiar with Manchester United know that when facing a strong enemy, sometimes Manchester United may not necessarily take the initiative. Although Barcelona took the initiative with delicate footwork and exquisite passing and running positions, neither side dared to take it lightly. There are masters who make the final decision in the team!

The score of 1:1 is also a direct proof of the strength of the two masters. Until the 71st minute of the game, Li Yu finally broke the deadlock on the field, completed Manchester United's first shot in the second half, and created a precious goal. Goal, at that time, Giggs gave the ball to Li Yu after a counterattack in the frontcourt, and Li Yu shot the ball with his right foot in front of the penalty area. , Valdez can only look at the ball and sigh, watching the football into the net.

2:1!Li Yu's goal stunned fans all over the world for a few seconds. Fans all over the world couldn't believe that such a classic goal would be replicated in such an important game. After a few seconds of astonishment, they reflected their respective positions!

On the one hand, there is crazy celebration, on the other hand, it is lonely and depressed. Looking at the performance of the fans in more than 70 minutes, you may know the final outcome.

The expressions of the Barcelona players on the field are not much better than the fans who support them. All this is written on the faces of every Barcelona player. There are still 15 minutes of the final. Can they complete the Jedi counterattack?

After 3 minutes, Messi's mood began to fluctuate due to missing a good scoring opportunity. The belief that he was eager to equalize the score for the team supported Messi, who was changing speeds throughout the game, and ran for 10500 meters. Impatience and mistakes.

In the 73rd minute, Messi ran all the way after stealing the midfielder, and was intercepted in front of the penalty area after passing two people.Only 1 minute later, Messi tried again to force a breakthrough in the middle. Although he turned and wiped a defensive player, the ball was intercepted by Ferdinand who was defending.At the last moment of the game, Barcelona's offense was completely unable to threaten the opponent's goal, but Messi still actively mobilized his teammates to launch an offensive in the frontcourt, and used his remaining physical strength to run to the sideline and quickly serve the sideline ball again and again to win for the team. Precious game time.

Manchester United's season ended with a perfect ending, and at this moment, he finally ushered in the moment when the song came to an end. After more than [-] years of youthful blood and sweat, he can finally take a rest.He once stepped onto the altar of worship, and he also worked hard for a living in a small club in silence, just like what he said at the curtain call at Old Trafford: "Ferguson brought me here It's a bit late." [

Well, I have worked hard, I have fought, let this kind of perfection interpret the true brilliance, he is not Yashin, nor Zoff, he is just himself, Van der Sar - a great man who has left us with countless touching memories goalkeeper.

1 goal, maybe it's his responsibility, maybe it's not his responsibility.Facing the La Liga champion with 15 goals, how can you expect an old goalkeeper who has passed the time to complete an impossible task.Look at the goals - when Pedro shoots, he is man-marked 15 yards from United's goal, which is very close to the penalty spot.Van der Sar was up against a world-class striker who could strike with ease.Whether it is right or wrong is left to future generations to comment.

Ferdinand said in an interview with the "Sun" before the game, "Van der Sar has always been calm, and there has been a tacit understanding between me and him." And former Manchester United striker Larsson also said when talking about Van der Sar: "He Has all the qualities that a goalkeeper should have - excellent sense of position in front of the goal, and he is also a good saver. The two best goalkeepers that Sir Alex Ferguson has introduced are Schmeichel and Van der Sar. This is his coaching career. One of the big reasons for his success. The Dutchman has been playing at a high level for quite a long time and that's something he's used to. He deserves his finale at the biggest club."

This finale was played without any regrets. In the goalkeeper position of the Red Devils, a generation of goalkeeper appeared there again. It was not the Danes but the Dutch veteran Edwin van der Sar.

At the post-match awards ceremony, Van der Sar took off the gold medal on his chest, with a very happy look on his face, as if a little urchin met his favorite plaything, and after playing with it for a long time, he waved his hand to the stands The Red Devils fans on the Internet bid farewell.

Immediately after the game, Van der Sar announced his own decision to retire. In an interview with UEFA's official website, he said: "Obviously, what I need most now is some space, maybe away from football for a while. Do things that I am interested in, such as golf. Of course, I want to spend more time with my family and children." When he walked off the court to accept an interview with ITV, Van der Sar said: "I will do more in this game. I have done too many things, and winning is the result everyone wants to see. I am very happy that the final outcome ended in a victorious way. Life always surprises people unexpectedly, and I will thank everyone in my memory.”

He vowed to guarantee the Red Devils to win the championship, and he hoped to create a new history after performing the swan song in his career-at the age of 40 years and 211 days, he became the oldest champion in the history of the Champions League, breaking the record created by former Italian goalkeeper Zoff. The record of 41 years and 86 days.Leaving without leaving any regrets is the perfect ending, but he also wants to thank his teammates for their efforts.

Represented the Red Devils in the arena of the final four times in four years.Manchester United finally won today. Van der Sar himself won the trophy after 16 years, creating a championship miracle across time. The holder of this record is the retired former Milan legend Maldini. The Italian won in 1989 and 2007 He won the trophy in 19, creating an age span record for winning the Champions League [-] years apart.

Earlier this week, UEFA announced on its official website the best team for the UEFA Champions League this season, and Van der Sar deserved to be the best goalkeeper in this list.

UEFA commented: "It is undeniable that at the age of 40, he has played at the peak level of his career. Before that, he played 9 times for Manchester United in the Champions League this season, of which 6 times he blocked his opponents." The Daily Mirror once said before the game that once Manchester United won the championship, Van der Sar in the final battle would most likely win the trophy on behalf of the team. Calm enough: "Failure is always hard to let go. After winning the championship, your medals will go into the cupboard or safe, but if you lose, many things will slip from your fingertips. I just hope that in the finals, I can come up with top prizes." The performance, the team has to be consistent to make sure we are good enough defensively."

Now he doesn't have to do this at all, Manchester United has once again stood on top of Europe and won the gold medal!

In an interview with The Sun, Van der Sar also talked about his plans for the future: "You always want to perform well in the Champions League final and become a hero who saves the world. Just like the 08 Champions League final (he saved Anelka's penalty and directly helped the team win the championship), I will always keep these memories in my heart. After retiring, I will first take a coaching qualification test, maybe stay in the Netherlands Let’s take a while.” There was a bit of reluctance in the words of the tough guy Van der Sar, but there is no intention, and the fate is always a coincidence to play tricks on the loyal to the faith, but no matter what the ending is, the Netherlands People will be loyal to their own choices to create a new life.

If this really happened, then what Giggs experienced is simply It's like the routine used by Hollywood screenwriters in hero movies-the hero may fall into the trough of life for a short time because of arrogance or misbehavior, but in the end he will turn around and win the chance to turn around and become a hero again. The birth of a legend may always be inseparable from tragic and inappropriate parts."
