Super Marshal

The evening of April 3, 2007. August 1 Chinese W≈W≥W≥. ≈81ZW. COM

It rained heavily in Milan all day, never stopping from morning to night.

The drainage system of Rao Meazza Stadium is perfect, but the ground is still very slippery.

Tonight, in heavy rain, the Champions League quarter-finals knockout round is being held here, the focus of Inter Milan's home game against the Red Devils Manchester United.

Before the game, both sides had proposed to postpone the game, but UEFA considered it repeatedly and did not agree.

Therefore, the two sides can only conduct this water battle in the majestic rain.

Michael Carrick hated playing in this kind of weather. The ball was wet and slippery and difficult to control.

In this game, he is Manchester United's main midfielder, partnering with Fletcher.

In front of them, Giggs is on the left, Alan Smith is in the middle, Saha is on the right, and Rooney is the single forward.

Behind him stood Heinze, Ferdinand, Brown, Gary Neville, and goalkeeper Foster.

Ferguson hit smoke bombs before the game. It was publicly announced that many of the main players were injured and missed the game. In fact, they all played, including Fletcher and Saha.

Only Scholes, who was suspended for three games, missed this game.

At home, Inter Milan is also the main force. The goalkeeper is Cesar, the defense lines are Evra, Cannavaro, Vidic and Maicon, the midfielder is behind Cambiasso, Yaya Tu Ray and Belon moved forward.

The front court trident is a combination of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Adriano.

Inter Milan are strong and strong, and Manchester United are away from home, so the Red Devils in the round are still focused on stability.

At the beginning of the game, Inter Milan launched an offensive.

After receiving the ball on the left, Cristiano Ronaldo faced Gary Neville and tried a heel knock to pass the ball. As a result, the court was slippery. The Portuguese's performance directly knocked the ball to Gary Neville.

Gary Neville sent the ball to Carrick’s feet, but as soon as the England midfielder received the ball, the opposing dark midfielder Yaya Toure was already close to him. Carrick was taken aback by surprise. Pass the ball back to the defense.

The rain was heavy and the sight was greatly hindered.

Everyone in the stadium, including the referee, has already been drenched.

Carrick wiped the rain off his face and looked at the flickering figure in front of him, feeling very unreal.

But Inter Milan didn't give him much time to think about it. Less than a minute later, Inter Milan, who had regained the ball, made another offensive and still passed to Cristiano Ronaldo on the left.

But this time, after receiving the ball, Veron took a mid-to-long through ball and passed the ball directly behind Manchester United's defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo slid in behind him quickly, crossed Brown and then received the ball and took a low shot.

But I don't know if it was affected by the heavy rain, the Portuguese didn't hit a straight single-handed kick and slipped out of the far post.

"Hey, guys, cheer up." Captain Gary Neville yelled in the rain.

Carrick also made a gesture to his partner Fletcher, beckoning him not to lean too much, and to protect the line of defense.

Inter Milan's opening tactics are very clever, not blindly pursuing pass and control, what they want is attack and efficiency.

In this kind of weather, they choose to use the simplest and most direct way to send the ball into the dangerous area as much as possible, and then rely on the player's personal ability to create a threat.

Carrick wiped his face and looked at the sideline. In the confusion, he saw a head coach, Gao Han, who was wearing a transparent raincoat and still standing on the sidelines directing the game.

He admired Gao Han very much, because when Gao Han was coaching Chelsea, he tried to introduce him. The two sides had a telephone conversation. Gao Han personally told him that in time, he would become the best midfielder in Europe, and Gao Han also suggested that he should The position is withdrawn.

At that time, he played for West Ham United in England's second-tier League One.

At that time, Carrick wanted to join Chelsea with high expectations and wanted to play under Gao Han, but who could have thought that that summer, Chelsea suddenly announced Gao Han’s resignation and the transfer was aborted.

But even so, Gao Han was still very gracious, calling him personally to explain his embarrassment, and at the same time encouraging him to make persistent efforts, leave West Ham United as soon as possible and go to the English League to prove himself.

So Carrick joined Tottenham Hotspur and then Manchester United.

When Ferguson invited Carrick to join, he also mentioned Alpine. Therefore, Carrick knew that Ferguson relied on him so much, at least in part because Alpine was famous.

Whether at Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester United, Carrick never thought that the first time he encountered an alpine cold, it would be a scene like tonight, with such heavy rain.

Beep!

In the heavy rain, a whistle from the referee came from the left.

Carrick looked up, through the rain curtain, and saw Adriano lying on the ground. Manchester United left-back Heinze was explaining something to the referee. Fortunately, the referee did not give the card. It was a warning.

Inter Milan's frontcourt free kick opportunity.

"Damn, watch out for their free kicks!" Gary Neville shouted, "Michael."

"I'm here." Carrick ran over immediately.

He knew that the captain was calling him to line up the wall.

Everyone knows Inter Milan's free kick skills. This area is not far away, but not too close. It can be a threat to hit the goal directly or cooperate.

The facts have proved that Inter Milan also discharged two free kick masters, Veron and Adriano.

One left foot, one right foot, it seems to be covering, but it is so real.

"Be careful." Carrick turned his head like an enemy and shouted at his teammates in the penalty area.

The wall was set, and the Inter Milan players did not hesitate. The two players started at the same time. Adriano gave a false shot. Veron crossed the wall with his right foot and fell into the penalty area.

Yaya Toure grabbed the first landing in the penalty area, but the ball was too slippery and volleyed directly with an anti-aircraft gun.

The Côte d’Ivoire squatted in the penalty area with his head in regret, looking very depressed.

Manchester United is like a survivor.

In three minutes, Inter Milan has created a three-footed shot, and Manchester United's defense can't even block it.

If it hadn't been for this heavy rain, which caused their ability to seize opportunities to drop a lot, then Manchester United might have lost the ball now.

What a horrible team!

Time passed by one minute and one second, but Inter Milan's opening attack continued.

In the seventh minute, Maicon suddenly jumped in and the ball passed from the right. Ibrahimović volleyed near the penalty spot, but failed to kick the right part. The ball did not hit the force and fell softly. Foster's arms.

Two minutes later, Evra made a straight pass from the left, Cristiano Ronaldo forced a breakthrough after receiving the ball, trying to take the ball out of Gary Neville and Fletcher, but he accidentally slipped. The ball was cut off by Manchester United and hit the first threatening counterattack in the audience, scoring into the 30-meter area of ​​Inter Milan, but failed to get a shot.

In just ten minutes, Carrick felt like a long, long time passed.

Yaya Toure is like a difficult dog-skin plaster. As soon as Carrick and Fletcher get the ball, he will get close immediately. This kid ran up vigorously, although his feet were not dirty, but Very aggressive.

He tried to stabilize the rhythm or control the ball several times, but failed.

On the contrary, it is Inter Milan. Although it is in heavy rain, they still continue to pass and receive the ball frequently. The players are also very active in running. It seems that the advantage of the entire midfield is obvious.

Manchester United failed to play its own rhythm, and the defensive steals and interceptions failed to show their power, but Ferguson did not consider allowing the team to shrink the defense, but also expected the team to gain a firm foothold as soon as possible.

This is dangerous!

Carrick was instinctively aware of the crisis, especially when he saw Fletcher and Alan Smith press forward frequently in order to grab the ball, he was even more palpitating.

"Darren, Alan, don't chase the ball, pay attention to your formation." Carrick reminded.

Manchester United's ability to run and press without the ball is also obvious to all, but it depends on which team it is against.

When encountering a team like Inter Milan, chasing the ball is a very irrational behavior, because even in heavy rain, their passing and possession of the ball can still make it difficult for Manchester United's press to intercept.

On the contrary, it is the Red Devils himself. Once they can't get it, they will easily lose their position, not to mention the consumption of physical energy.

They press on, so Carrick can still stand in front of the defense line to protect?

Seeing Alan Smith pressing up and trying to force Cambiasso, Fletcher also followed up immediately, ready to make up for it at any time.

Seeing them like this, Carrick calculated the distance between himself and them, sighed in his heart, and had to follow him a little bit.

But at this moment, Inter Milan's central defender Vidic suddenly stopped the ball. Rooney rushed to grab the ball, but the Serbian central defender suddenly kicked the ball to the front with a big foot.

In the heavy rain, the ball crossed an arc and landed on the right side of the arc top of the penalty area.

Carrick was slightly taken aback, and immediately turned back and chased him.

It was seen that Adriano was at the front of the penalty area, blocking Ferdinand with his body and stuck in the best position.

Facing the ball flying over from the backcourt, the Brazilian center stepped forward cleverly, slammed the header, and ran the ball directly to the ground on the right.

Carrick was shocked immediately, because he saw that in the heavy rain, a blue-black figure was rushing from the left to the center, and it was Cristiano Ronaldo.

The England midfielder desperately wanted to make himself catch up faster, but he was so fast.

When Carrick came back to the front of the penalty area, he saw that Cristiano Ronaldo had already adjusted. He lifted his right foot and it was a violent long shot from the front of the penalty area.

Carrick was so anxious that he wanted to shovel to stop him, but he was too late.

With only a bang, the rain in the surrounding air seemed to explode, and then I saw a circular shadow in the majestic rain like lightning struck in a dark cloud, fleeting.

When it appeared again, it had already appeared in the goal behind Foster~www.readwn.com~ The ball was scored!

"GoaLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"In just twelve minutes of the opening, only twelve minutes, Inter Milan took the lead in breaking Manchester United's goal!"

"An assist from Adriano, a long shot from the front of the penalty area by Cristiano Ronaldo, broke the Red Devils Manchester United goal!"

"This is a very exciting and very sudden shot."

"Cristiano Ronaldo's shot came very suddenly, Foster didn't even have time to react."

"Manchester United started off badly, conceded a goal first."

Carrick was covered with grass clippings and rain, and got up from the ground, his eyes astringent.

Is this Inter Milan?
