Football irons are burning

Chapter 175 The Camp Nou Halftime Tragedy

On May 5, the 26-98 UEFA Champions League final kicked off.

Players from both sides came out, and the Camp Nou stadium immediately boiled.

Li Tie and Beckham exchanged club tokens, and the game started soon.

Today's referee, the bald-headed Corina, is the absolute golden whistle, and both sides are convinced.

Kaiserslautern kicks off first.

Drogba knocked the ball to Li Tie, and Li Tie rushed forward with the ball. He will not be lonely in the comeback battle. Li Tie really wants to put his mark on this Champions League final.

Bart immediately came up to intercept, and Li Tie directly made physical contact with him. The slightly clumsy man under his feet passed the ball, and Bart was knocked staggered, and Li Tie rushed past him.

Collina indicated that there was no foul and it was a strike.

This kind of physical contact is normal in Europe.

Of course, only the person involved, Bart, knew how hard Li Tie's collision was, and his chest was burning with pain.

Gary Neville hurried up to help defend, Li Tie kicked obliquely and handed the ball to Malouda who was put on.

Malouda's side was empty all of a sudden. Without hesitation, he strode up to get the ball, and quickly cut in from the bottom line. Facing Irwin who was on defense, he swept to the goal.

Drogba missed the first point, then Ruud van Nistelrooy kicked the ball into the goal, 1:0!

Fast, too fast!
It took just over 7 seconds to score a goal. This is undoubtedly the fastest goal in the history of the Champions League.

Van Nistelrooy rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal, and the Kaiserslautern fans burst into jubilation.

"Aww! I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired!"

The fans roared wildly, making Ruud's adrenaline soar.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the key to this goal is Li Tie. His insertion caused a loophole in Manchester United's defense.

At the beginning stage, the players' attention was not enough. Although Manchester United is a veteran and strong team, they also suffered from such a big loss!
Bart's defense is obviously not in place. If he knows Li Tie's habits, he should stand in a good position and should not defend loosely.

It was given by Li Tie, how can I play this?
Others had to come to make up for it, and everyone knew that Li Tie had a long shot, so who would dare to let it go?
This replacement was a bad thing. Li Tie was naturally insightful. He passed the ball to the space, and Malouda caught the space on the side.

Drogba especially likes leaking balls. This time, he selflessly chose leaking balls, and Ruud van Nistelrooy seized the opportunity.

This goal, every point, is well done.

On the sidelines, Magath waved his arms excitedly, while Ferguson turned slightly pale. Although he was still chewing gum, he was definitely not at peace.

A goal by Kaiserslautern first, the average team will lose the game.

Ferguson must be thinking of countermeasures.

The game has just started, and there is still a lot of time to come. Ferguson's adjustment card will definitely not be played out like this.

The game continued after the Kaiserslautern players' celebration was stopped.

The ball was quickly handed over to Beckham. Beckham feinted at Malouda.

With a sliding shovel, Li Tie intercepted the ball abruptly.

He got up and kicked straight.

Schneider also wobbled when he got the ball, Bart ate his move and kicked Schneider to the ground, Collina whistled, free kick!

Li Tie ran up again. Of course, he took the free kick from this position. He likes to take strong free kicks very much, so it depends on luck.

The Manchester United players all retreated nervously. Beckham organized his teammates to line up the wall. This is really a bit contradictory. Once the wall is lined up, man-to-man marking is not enough. The Kaiserslautern players also all came up.

But without a wall of people, how can Li Tie's long-range shots be defended?Give him a crack, and he can fix it for you.

In desperation, the Manchester United team still formed a wall of four people, blocking one side, and Schmeichel guarded the other side.

After the whistle sounded, Li Tie swung his kick fiercely. The trajectory of the ball's flight was a bit weird, and it was another S-shaped curved ball.

The ball looked like it was flying out of the goal, but it turned suddenly in the penalty area and flew straight towards the goal.

Fortunately, Schmeichel was indeed very focused. He made a leap and saved the ball from the bottom line, a corner kick.

Li Tie gave Schmeichel a thumbs up. The ball was shot beautifully and defended beautifully.

Schneider takes a corner kick and Stam's goal is high.

In the first few minutes, Kaiserslautern created too many murderous intentions, and Manchester United was a little confused.

Most of their offense relies on Beckham's crosses, which can easily be choked.

Coupled with the fact that Yang Cheng and Cole were marked to death in front, Manchester United's offense did not improve.

Giggs' breakthrough on the left was also looked down upon by Ferreira. Manchester United couldn't play on both sides, let alone the middle.

In the 12th minute, Li Tie stole the ball and made a long pass. Ruud van Nistelrooy succeeded in turning offside, but unfortunately his single-handed ball was blocked by the attacking Schmeichel with his foot.

Otherwise, the score will change again.

Fanny also held his head regretfully, feeling incredible.

A corner kick was taken, Irvine headed the ball out of the penalty area, Li Tie threw off Butt and volleyed the ball, and the ball was saved to the baseline by the brave Schmeichel.

This guy is so hot today.

Continuing with the corner kick, this time Schneider made a back point, and Malouda flew to the top. The ball hit the post and bounced off the baseline. Malouda was so angry that he got up and slapped himself on the forehead.

On the sidelines, Ferguson yelled anxiously. Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied with the performance of the players.

With so many opportunities given to Kaiserslautern, this is obviously the rhythm of giving up the championship.

"Run, all run! Those who get stuck, concentrate!"

Ferguson's hair dryer is now working.

On the other side, Magath sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, enjoying a leisurely stroll.

The Manchester United team began to run more aggressively. Now, the scene was much more balanced.

Butt kept Schneider at every step, preventing him from getting the ball. On the two wings, he also pressed hard on Malouda and Di Natale, preventing them from easily getting to the bottom.

But in the 22nd minute, Schneider and Van Nistelrooy suddenly switched positions. Li Tie kicked the ball to Van Nistelrooy, Van Nistelrooy kicked the ball, and the ball was accurately delivered to Schneider.

Schneider flashed over and shot the far corner, and the ball went straight into the dead corner, 2:0!

"Ouch!"

Schneider also galloped to celebrate. He has reached the sky in one step this season. He played in an amateur team last year.

This kind of leap is not easy for ordinary people to experience.

Schneider's technique is great. This long-range shot is very tricky. Schmeichel can only look at the ball and sigh!

Seeing Schneider galloping to celebrate, the players of Manchester United had a bad premonition. Today's champion might be about to die.

On the sidelines, Magath is already dancing, and in about 70 minutes, he will become the coach of the Champions League champion and become famous all over the world.

On the other side, Ferguson's expression had already turned gloomy. Before halftime, he fell behind by two goals. This game was no longer fun, and he didn't have much confidence in winning it back.

The blows came one after another.

Not long after the re-kick-off, Beckham made a mistake with a return pass. Schneider grabbed the ball and knocked it to Van Nistelrooy. Van Nistelrooy made a smart pick, shook Johansen and shot it, 3:0!

Ferguson kicked the mineral water bottle away, and sat back on his coach seat without looking back.

The person who made a mistake turned out to be the person he trusted the most. One can imagine Ferguson's mood.

This season's Champions League champion is close at hand, but far away!
Less than halftime, three goals behind, this huge gap is not something that ordinary teams can fill.

Besides, the opponent is in such a good state, who will save Manchester United?
Before Ferguson could recover, Kaiserslautern scored again!

In the 39th minute, Li Tie dribbled in and made a pass with Didier Drogba. Ruud van Nistelrooy passed Johansen with a kick, and the hat-trick was completed!

4: 0!

I can't prevent it, Fanny just can't prevent it!

Excited, Ruud rushed to the sidelines and made a kneeling celebration. In the stands, Kaiserslautern fans roared wildly.

Barcelona was eliminated by Manchester United in the group stage before, and now Barcelona fans are also hostile to Manchester United, so they also applaud Kaiserslautern at this moment.

This form can be described as one-sided.

The huge score made everyone unexpected. This is the final stage of the Champions League. The two teams should be evenly matched.

But today, is this score an April Fool's joke?

Conceding four goals in the half is definitely a tragedy in football.

Ferguson's face has lost all color. His Manchester United is the overlord of the Premier League, but today, he was ruthlessly crushed and his body was bruised!
The halftime score was 4:0!

Back in the locker room, the Kaiserslautern players were elated and very excited.

Li Tie sat in the middle with a big horse, and when he talked about his performance in the first half, he spit all over the place.

The performance of the Manchester United team really surprised him, which was too vulnerable.

In the semifinals, they played two consecutive 2:2s with Juventus, isn't this quite capable?

Why is it such a dish today?

This is not a peak duel, it is a completely one-sided situation. Kaiserslautern will become the fourth German team to win the championship in the history of the Champions League. Bayern, Hamburg, and Dortmund have all done it before. Kaiserslautern will also do it today.

Magath came in and didn't make any adjustments. It's 4:0. What else to adjust?Let the players play freely, and he will wait to watch the show.

For Li Tie, Magath is naturally very satisfied. This comeback, the team played so magically and the control is too strong, the opponent is simply different from what he imagined.

However, Magath was also very satisfied with his formation. Schneider played a very good role, and Zheng Zhi also defended Yang Cheng very well, allowing Yang Cheng to shoot twice after the first half.

This is what a great coach can do.

Magath thought to himself, what is Ferguson doing on the other side?

Manchester United dressing room.

There was a deathly silence, no one spoke, not even gasping for breath.

After Ferguson came in, he didn't say a word, just staring at every player.

His eyes could really kill people, and everyone was trembling in their hearts.

Suddenly, Ferguson slapped the table, making everyone tremble.

"I have already lost four times, you should save some face, you can't lose too badly! Everyone has to pay the price for their own growth. I hope you can minimize the cost and make your career more perfect! Not to mention the extra, attack with all your strength in the second half, and try to get back a goal as soon as possible. In addition, do you really want to kill Li Tie? Why challenge him when you know he is very strong? Avoid him, try to use long passes, shoot decisively in the penalty area, we already have nothing, and we are not afraid of losing a few more !"

After Ferguson finished speaking, all the Manchester United players suddenly showed hideous expressions.

That's right, I have lost four of them, and my underwear is gone, so what are you afraid of?

That's it!
