Chapter 91 - Time - Oh!
Cavani's goal inspired Lazio's morale, and Lazio then continued to block Manchester United with great momentum.
Ferguson also felt the madness of Lazio, and he chose to avoid it.
In fact, being able to score two points at home and score two away goals in Lazio, which is the most difficult to play, is already quite remarkable.
And there was a draw.
This result exceeded his expectations.
Now we should defend well and hold on to this great result.
So, with a big wave of his hand, Manchester United began to shrink their defense.
Of course he came for revenge, but revenge is not this game.
The quarter-finals are a two-round match, and eliminating Lazio is the best revenge.
Now he has scored two away goals and forced the opponent to a draw. This result is very beneficial for him to return to his home court to eliminate Lazio in the second round.
Naturally, he doesn't need to let the team try their best in this game.
Consider closing it up and saving some strength.
Lazio are going crazy, we can't be crazy with them, we have to stay calm. Only then can I retreat from this stadium...
Then he kept changing and adjusting, and his intention to strengthen the defense was also obvious.
In addition, Manchester United also began to delay time consciously.
For example, when Lazio kicked the football out of the baseline, Van der Sar would not go to the ball boy behind him to ask for the ball. He stood there, spread his hands, and shouted something to his teammates, as if complaining. , dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates.
But in reality he was stalling for time.
He just used this little trick to delay for more than ten seconds. Don't underestimate the ten or so seconds, it's quite scary when added up.
Then he turned around and asked for the ball from the ball boy - he would not have seen that the Lazio ball boy had actually thrown the ball on the pitch.
Then after being reminded, he "suddenly realized" and noticed the football already in the penalty area.
walk over.
Retrieve the football, set it up, get up and back away, ready for the goal kick.
As a result, he ran to the football money, but stopped, bent down again to organize the footballs, and rearranged the footballs.
Only then did he get up and back away again.
In the end, despite the boos all over the sky at the Olympic Stadium, he finally kicked the football to the front field with a big foot, completing the goal kick.
At this time, almost half a minute of the game time has passed...
Lazio is eager to score another goal to complete the reversal. Manchester United began to delay time.
No one can stand this.
The Lazio players were a little anxious to get angry by the slow pace of Manchester United.
Chang Sheng was also in a hurry to get angry.
He stood on the sidelines, biting his lips tightly, and although his hands were in his trouser pockets, they were tightly clenched into fists.

For Motta's pass, Manchester United also strengthened their defense.
Because retreated across the board. They have more defensive troops than before, and it is easier to defend.
There is not so much space, and there is a lot less threat when Motta passes the ball.
Just so exhausted, the game entered 80 minutes, and Lazio still failed to score another goal.
The score is still 2:2.
It seems that maybe this score will be the score of the whole game.
But Lazio did not give up, they are still trying to find opportunities to score goals.
And the Lazio fans did not give up. They kept singing and shouting in the stands, cheering for the Lazio players.
From the head coach to the players to the ordinary fans, no one wants Lazio to lose to Manchester United.
Because it means that Lazio's victory over Manchester United is a fluke. United managed to get back what was theirs. Although they can't get the championship trophy back, they can make the public think that they are more worthy of this championship than Lazio...
This is not a simple game about winning or losing, it's about honor and dignity!
※ ※ ※
Eighty minutes into the game, the Lazio players became more impatient.
They themselves know that time is running out...
"There is not much time left for Lazio!" The England commentator said gloatingly.
"There is really not much time left for Lazio..." The same sentence. The Italian commentator revealed deep helplessness and anxiety when he spoke.
At the 83rd minute, there was another conflict on the court!
When Manchester United attacked. Cristiano Ronaldo is offside,Lazio takes the free kick in the defence.
They intend to send free kicks quickly and launch counterattacks quickly.
As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo deliberately blocked the football. When Ledesma kicked the football out, he stretched out his foot to block it. The football hit his leg and bounced back!
The Lazio fans in the stands exploded, and they uttered angrily.
Ledesma, who was in charge of the kick-off, turned around and picked up the football. Once again, he planned to send it quickly, but when he looked up, he saw that Cristiano Ronaldo was still in the way. He was furious! Go up and push away the Portuguese, trying to re-penalize the ball.
Unexpectedly, after the Portuguese was pushed by him, he fell to the ground in an exaggerated way, opened his arms, and yelled, it was really a show...
He was reminding the referee: He pushed me! He pushed me! Hurry up, referee! You give him a card quickly! You see how he treats me!
Sure enough, the referee on duty immediately blew his whistle to suspend the game.
Players from both sides also gathered around. Manchester United players complained for Cristiano Ronaldo, thinking that Ledesma had violated their teammates, while Lazio players supported Ledesma and accused Cristiano Ronaldo. Obviously a flop.
The movements of pushing and shoving each other began to increase.
If the referee hadn't forcibly intervened, I'm afraid the two sides would still fight..."Dipping" is the most hated thing on the court, because it is a kind of deception, and it is a very bad deception.
Why is Cristiano Ronaldo not so well-known? It’s because he was so prone to flopping in the Premier League that the referees focused on taking care of him in the end. After he fell, his first reaction was not to foul the opponent, but to look at him Is it a flop, even if he was really violated by his opponent. Most of the referees would think that he was diving and let the opponent go, making the Portuguese suffer from being dumb and unable to tell.
Therefore, the anger of the Lazio players can be forgiven-damn! Obviously you were the one who blocked our normal kick-off first, and then flopped and acted when you were pushed away! Sue the wicked first! Fuck you mother!
Naturally they have to fight for Ledesma.
In the end, Ledesma received a yellow card for the push, as well as Gotze who headbutted Rooney.
Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo, who deliberately blocked Lazio's free kick, also received a yellow card.
But obviously, his yellow card is worth more...
※ ※ ※
When the referee intervenes. When showing yellow cards to players from both sides, Chang Sheng was yelling from the field: "What the hell are you entangled with them? Quickly restart the game! Let the game continue, let the game continue!"
It hurts his heart to see his players waste their time in conflict.
Although stoppage time will take this conflict into consideration, if the conflict wastes three minutes. It is impossible to add three more minutes to the original stoppage time... If you can add one more minute, it is considered a high professional quality of the referee team...
At this moment, assistant coach Di Matteo came up and said to Chang Sheng: "Chang, Ledesma's yellow card will make him miss the second round..."
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Di Matteo.
Di Matteo nodded to him, indicating that his data was fine.
Chang Sheng gritted his teeth and cursed: "Oooooo!!"

As Lazio's full-time defensive midfielder, Ledesma has a heavy defensive task in the game. So eating cards is commonplace.
However, he has not received a red card and was sent off directly, so the defensive action is still clean, at least there is no malicious injury.
According to UEFA rules, in the Champions League. It started with an automatic one-match suspension for three yellow cards.
Ledesma has already received three yellow cards in the group stage, so he also has an automatic one-match suspension.
At the knockout stage, he received another yellow card.
According to UEFA rules, after three yellow cards, he was suspended for one game. It becomes a one-game suspension for two yellow cards, which means that the fifth yellow card will be automatically suspended for one game.
Ledesma had four yellow cards before.
This one is now the fifth one.
Follow the rules. He will be automatically suspended for one game, and he will not be able to play in the next game at Old Trafford...
David Silva injured, Modric injured, plus Ledesma suspended...
It's fucking bad luck.
For Lazio, the second leg will be very difficult...
Of course, if you surrender early, you don't have to think so much. Just close your eyes and enjoy the rape of fate...
But how could Chang Sheng surrender early?
As long as there are still eleven people to play, Chang Sheng will not admit defeat!
Unless he was judged to lose by football rules because he didn't have enough people.

Just as Chang Sheng was cursing on the sidelines, subtitles appeared on the TV screen.
Ledesma received a yellow card, and at the same time there was a line of small words under the subtitle of the yellow card: "absent for the next game".
In the close-up, Ledesma obviously doesn't know that he will miss the next game. He has forgotten that he already has four yellow cards.
Although before each game, the assistant coach will remind every player that he has several yellow cards now, should he pay attention during the game, don't take the initiative to provoke the referee, and don't do things that are easy to get yellow cards.
But when the game comes to this point, there is only the flame of anger in the mind, and there is no reason. Let Ledesma know that he is actually suspended for one yellow card before pushing away Cristiano Ronaldo. It's really hard...
In this way, after Modric may miss the next round, Ledesma is also confirmed to be absent...
Even if Lazio can win this game, what about the next round?
The Lazio fans couldn't shout anymore, they were deeply worried about the future of their team.
