Chapter 187 One Person’s Battle
With five minutes left, this is not a life-or-death battle, just the first of two rounds in the knockout round.
A 1:1 draw is still acceptable.
For Milan, this result is actually quite good, but 1:0 is better. Now that there is at least an away goal, it can still have a big advantage when returning to home court.
But for Manchester United, this result is a bit sad. They lost a goal at home and it was still a draw. This means that when they go to San Siro, they have to score at least one goal to regain their disadvantage.
This score is not enough.
After the brief excitement, Dong Fangzhuo quickly pushed away Ronaldo and other teammates, wiped the saliva left by Ronaldo on his face, and loudly called on his teammates: "The game is not over yet! We can still score goals!"
He led the way back, not wanting to waste the remaining few minutes. In fact, as football becomes more and more developed today, it is often the last few minutes that determine the outcome of a game. If Xiao Dong had the opportunity to see the 2018 World Cup in Russia, he would be even more surprised by his judgment...
With so little time left, can we still score? Scholes didn't think so. Perhaps it would be safer to maintain a tie?
If we attack, what if Milan seizes the opportunity to counterattack!
He is not the only Manchester United player to think this way, everyone thinks so.
Therefore, after the game resumed, the Manchester United teammates did not think like Dong Fangzhuo and would rush towards Milan like crazy.
They want stability and want to end this torturous game with a draw! Then wait for the next round to determine the winner.
Therefore, only Dong Fangzhuo was still running desperately, rushing towards Milan's midfield alone.
In fact, the Milan players had the same idea as the Manchester United players and did not want to take any more risks. So when Milan restarted the ball, the ball was at their feet and they naturally controlled the ball in the midfield and backcourt.
Fool?
When Ambrosini saw Dong Fangzhuo rushing like a wild beast and passing the ball to Gennaro Gattuso, he couldn't help saying something pitiful.
But Dong Fangzhuo ran towards Gattuso again, and Gattuso passed the ball back to Ambrosini.
Ambrosini reluctantly passed the ball back to Maldini.
…
Regarding Dong Fangzhuo’s actions,
Many people shook their heads inwardly.
No matter how powerful Dong Fangzhuo was, he would never be able to grab the ball by himself.
He was sweating profusely, but his pace was still fast, but he didn't know that his teammates had already slowed down and were not in the same rhythm as him.
The eyes of tens of thousands of fans at Old Trafford were all fixed on him. It seemed that only a young boy named Dong Fangzhuo was running on the pitch.
Pressing from the middle to the right, and from the right to the left, but the Milan players seemed to be slipping away...
I don’t know if Dong Fangzhuo just left a shadow in his heart. When the ball came to Costacurta’s feet, Costacurta was a little anxious and made a low-level mistake when stopping the ball and went out of the sideline!
Chance!
Dong Fangzhuo quickly rushed to the sideline and immediately raised the ball above his head. However, when he looked for his teammates, he found that no one was close to him. Even his best partner Ronaldo was far away on the right.
wipe!
He cursed and saw Costacurta slowly retreating. He suddenly threw the ball hard, and the ball hit Costacurta's right calf unexpectedly.
The ball was so sudden and fast that Costacurta couldn't react at all, and his calf bounced the ball directly to Dong Fangzhuo's feet.
Farke!
Once again, he had a premonition that something was not going well, but Dong Fangzhuo quickly moved the ball to the middle!
Dudu——dudu——
The whole game is over.
Boom——
Although the whistle sounded, Dong Fangzhuo still used all his strength to shoot the ball.
The ball went straight to the Manchester United stands!
Somewhat angry!
The referee was right under his nose, and he walked over quickly.
"Why not give this attack time?"
The referee pointed to his left hand, "Because time is up."
"This is wrong, you should at least finish this attack..." Dong Fangzhuo shook his head and felt that the referee's penalty was very amateurish. His face looked ugly, but he still calmly left the referee and argued with the referee. any sense.
1:1 is already a fact.
Not far away, Costacurta let out a long sigh of relief and said to himself that luckily the game was over, otherwise I really don’t know what would happen next. It would be a hell of a day. He couldn't help but take another look at the strange Dong Fangzhuo, but found that Dong Fangzhuo's face was dark...
Because Dong Fangzhuo turned around and saw that his teammates were already high-fiving each other.
Did we win? Dong Fangzhuo even had an illusion, otherwise why would they celebrate. There was no trace of displeasure on the faces of Giggs and Scholes.
And Ronaldo was in a hurry to take off his jersey and exchange jerseys with Seedorf? Even Fletcher on the bench returned to the court with Gattusola?
well.
Dong Fangzhuo was very disappointed and walked back quickly. At this time, his mood was completely different from that of other teammates.
If his teammates had been by his side just now, if the referee had not blown off the game, Manchester United could have launched an attack just now, but the result, haha...
Annoyed!
He walked quickly through the tunnel and came to the mixed area. The reporters immediately grabbed him. He pushed him away and continued walking back without saying a word until he returned to the locker room...
"What...what happened to him?"
The reporters looked at each other, wondering why Dong Fangzhuo, who performed so well in the game, showed such an emotional side.
Maybe he was the only one who felt that a draw was not enough. Even in Ferguson's eyes, a draw was already a blessing among misfortunes. Milan dominated the game throughout the game. If Milan could seize the opportunity, maybe the score would not be like this.
Of course, Manchester United actually had opportunities but failed to seize them, but overall, a draw was a very reasonable result.
So Ferguson was relatively calm at the press conference.
However, a reporter immediately mentioned Dong Fangzhuo.
"Why did the board go back to the dressing room unhappy?"
"Because he felt United could have won and he was fighting right up until the end and I think we didn't do a good enough job and it broke the kid's heart. If you look closely you can see that he was quick The boundary ball is really full of opportunities, but there is no helper around him. I think this is why he is angry. This is worth learning from everyone. But he should also understand that others are also worried about accidents and guard A draw is also important."
Ferguson used Dong Fangzhuo's words to knock other players. The meaning was obvious. At the last moment, Dong Fangzhuo was the only one fighting. But he did not deny the importance of the draw. He comforted Dong Fangzhuo and helped other players relieve their embarrassment...
