Chapter 88 The Avengers: Manchester United
In fact, Arsenal later reached the semi-finals and met Manchester United.
So there is actually no need to go to great lengths to let Lazio and Manchester United meet in the quarter-finals.
But maybe this is because God thinks that getting Lazio into the Champions League semi-finals is already a great achievement, and it doesn't want this to happen.
It wants to stop the winning teams in the quarterfinals.
Anyway, in the quarter-finals, Lazio met Manchester United, who was in the best condition of all members, and Lazio's midfield playmaker Modric also ended up with a strained thigh muscle.
Although Lazio is leading by one goal at this time, everyone knows that Lazio's lead is actually very fragile.
Modric was injured ten minutes into the game, which was indeed a big blow to Lazio.
Modric is the core of Lazio's midfield, and it is all he does to organize the offense.
He means a lot to Lazio.
And Lazio's players, especially the forwards, are used to Modric sending through balls again and again.
When Modric is not on the pitch, they will inevitably be a little uncomfortable.
There is not much Chang Sheng can do now, that is, let Motta organize the offense, and at the same time let Casorado retreat to strengthen the control ability of the midfield.
There were various plans and tactical arrangements before the game, but I never thought that Modric would end up injured, let alone it was so early...
After arranging a substitution, he yelled from the sidelines, signaling the players to remain calm and play at their original pace.
"No big deal! We're the leaders!"
He made gestures on the sidelines. But to be honest, Chang Sheng himself didn't know whether it was useful or not.
※※※
United were like a beast, and instead of demoralizing them after conceding a goal, they pissed them off.
Their offensive is like a tide. The action was also relatively large, causing Modric to get injured.
Now that Lazio's midfield core has gone down, they are even more unscrupulous.
Although Lazio took the lead, they had to switch to strategic defense.
In the 30th minute, Lazio failed to defend and their goal was broken by Manchester United.
Let's talk about what went wrong with Lazio's defensive tactics. Actually no.
This conceded goal is completely the best embodiment of personal ability.
Cristiano Ronaldo drives past after getting the ball in the middle.
Ledesma followed him from the beginning to the end, interfering with him. As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo took a long shot directly. After the football drew a not-so-obvious arc, it got into the goal.
Although Handanovic tried his best to make a save, he was beyond his reach.
Ronaldo kicked a dead corner!
"world**********!!"
"Ronaldo finally showed his strength! Last time the two sides played against each other, although he scored a goal, he did not bring victory to the team. Now he wants revenge!"
Ronaldo's shot was really beautiful. From a distance of 38 meters from the goal, he shot a long shot like a cruise missile.
After scoring the goal, Cristiano Ronaldo stayed in place, screaming up to the sky!
It seems to have vented all the depression in the final.
Ever since he lost that game, he felt a squeeze in his heart.
Now it was finally vented in this long howl.
He Ronaldo, to become the best player in the world!
But if there is no Champions League champion, what is the best player?
Lazio is his enemy.
this time. He wants to bury Lazio with his own hands!
※※※
Faced with such a conceded goal, Chang Sheng really has nothing to say.
This is the ultimate expression of a player's personal ability. It is no surprise that Ronaldo shot the ball like this. He was good at shooting from distance.
Chang Sheng didn't even dare to say whether it was God secretly helping.
But it doesn't matter, Chang Sheng has already made a decision in his heart, and he doesn't care what God does.
Anyway, if you have a goal, just go for it.
As a head coach, the most powerless situation is the ball just now.
There is nothing wrong with your tactical arrangements. There is no problem with your formation, and the status of the players you choose is still fine.
You've done everything you can, and you still can't stop this ball from happening.
Before Cristiano Ronaldo took a shot, Ledesma was always interfering by his side, which was his request. He was well aware of Cristiano Ronaldo's long shots.
Ledesma is not lazy either, as can be seen from the frequency of physical confrontation between him and Cristiano Ronaldo.
But still let Cristiano Ronaldo score.
What does this mean?
This can only show that Cristiano Ronaldo is too beastly!
※※※
Anyone who thinks that Manchester United can be content with scoring a goal in the first half, tying the score, must be naive.
Manchester United came for revenge, how could they easily give up the chance to score?
Just to tie the score.
Don't listen to Ferguson's nonsense.
What ordinary Champions League game.
This old man used a hair dryer to every Manchester United player in the dressing room before the game started, reminding them how they lost the final at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow last summer.
What he said before was not revenge, but just trying to paralyze Lazio.
If Manchester United was robbed of a Champions League champion, and when they met each other again, they would say with a gentle face, "Let's let the past go, let's ignore the past and turn the war into a jade..." It must not be Manchester United. At least it must not be Ferguson's Manchester United.
So after the equalizer, Manchester United continued to attack Lazio.
Their offensive is so fierce that people will mistakenly think that they are actually playing at home, and Lazio is playing away...
In the 41st minute, Manchester United played a quick attack. Rooney passed the football to Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was outflanking in the middle, suddenly accelerated, threw away Jose Passarella with his speed, and then rushed in front of Francisco Pavon. Poked the football into the goal guarded by Handanovic.
"Cristiano Ronaldo!!" England's commentator shouted excitedly. "Manchester United reversed! They turned defeat into victory! This is the best revenge for Lazio!"
After scoring the goal, Cristiano Ronaldo got up from the ground, then opened his arms, ran and roared wildly, the expression on that face made him even a little hideous.
All the anger in his chest was vented in this brace.
There is a kind of "out of breath" that also includes the England commentator.
In the final of last season, he watched Manchester United lose to Lazio in the commentary booth, and he has held his breath until now. Finally returned to Lazio!
"Manchester United reversed away! They lead Lazio 2:1!!"
"Ronaldo scored twice! He proved that he is the best player in football today!!"
"Although there are rumors of a transfer with Real Madrid, it has not affected his performance on the court... I think after watching this game, Real Madrid may want to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to the Bernabeu even more. ! For Ferguson, this is really a painful and happy reality..."
※※※
Seeing Ronaldo running wildly to celebrate the goal, Chang Sheng was even more upset.
"Damn! To hell! To hell!"
He kept swearing swear words to vent his unhappiness and depression.
Cristiano Ronaldo's double did not make him feel depressed, on the contrary, it made him want to beat Manchester United and eliminate Manchester United.
There is no hatred between him and Manchester United, but who let fate choose them to be spokespersons?
They say "the invisible hand of fate". In fact, it is visible, and now Manchester United is the "hand of fate"!
Borrow Manchester United to fulfill destiny.
But I won't let you get what you want, fate.
"Hold!"
※※※
In the first half, Manchester United led Lazio 2:1.
This score has been maintained until the end of the first half.
The Lazio supporters, who were elated when Modric scored a goal, are now silent.
The result makes them depressed and miserable.
In the lead, the opponent overtook, and the main core also left the field due to injury.
Lazio this season has basically relied on David Silva and Modric to launch the offense.
But David Silva was abolished by Atletico Madrid, and now Modric is injured and left the field. I don't know the specific situation and how long he will be absent...
How will the game be played after this...
Lazio fans were thinking about more than just this game. And the rest of the season.
The two absolute main cores were injured, and Lazio's luck was really bad.
Could it be that he won the UEFA Champions League last season? Use up all the good luck in their lives?
Lazio fans don't want to believe this is true.
We won the Champions League from Manchester United a year ago. We did it in a fair way. Why should Manchester United beat us a year later?
Is it to prove that Manchester United are better than us and more worthy of that championship?
Shit!
If this is fate, then fate is a piece of shit!
And fucking oversized shit!
The disappointed Lazio fans in the stands cursed this in their hearts.
But what else could they do but curse?
They can't go off and play in person. Shouting cheers from the stands won't help much.
Today's opponent is simply vicious and insane.
They also have a vague worry in their hearts, worrying that they will really be defeated and eliminated by Manchester United.
if that is the case. Fans of rivals Roma in the same city will probably be the first to jump out and laugh at them.
Not reconciled. Worry again.
The Lazio fans sat through the fifteen-minute half-time in the stands, restless and frustrated.
