Football irons are burning

Chapter 342 Reaching the Finals

The game continues.

Li Tie's retreat quickly stabilized the situation, and Real Madrid's offense began to become more difficult.

In desperation, the two sides also started to kick the ball and play punching football.

But Raul and Portillo are obviously not masters in heading.

As for Portillo, although he scored a lot of goals in the youth team, he was still a little weak in the face of world-class central defenders like Stam and Zhang Heizi. He was completely at a disadvantage in several fights.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was halftime.

This half of the game really passed quickly. Except for the first 20 minutes that can be memorable, the next 25 minutes are really boring.

Back in the locker room, Queiroz didn't make any more deployments, but just told the players to continue to strengthen their defense, strangle the opponent's two sides, and keep a close eye on Zidane.

Zidane didn't have much time to shine in the first half, but who dare not pay attention to him?

Li Tie didn't say a word. He had been paying attention to Zidane in the first half, and Zidane often observed Li Tie. There was a reason why he didn't act. Zidane knew that Li Tie was not easy to mess with, and now Li Tie was full of energy, so he didn't take the initiative to break through in the first half.

Li Tie came out ahead of time, pulling Dong Fangzhuo, Giggs and Simao, and the four were discussing counterattacks.

In the second half, Real Madrid will definitely strengthen their offense, and their formation will definitely press forward collectively. This is a good opportunity for a counterattack.

"You guys, try to stand as far forward as possible, don't worry about the defense, I will clean up everything. Once there is a chance, the three of you will run together, do you hear me?"

Li Tie said.

The three of them nodded hurriedly, counterattacked and killed Real Madrid, which would definitely make them famous all over the world, especially Dong Fangzhuo and Simao, they all needed to prove themselves in the competition.

Soon, players from both sides came out one after another, and the second half of the game began.

Real Madrid made substitutions at the beginning, and Ronaldo replaced Portillo. It seems that Portillo is still difficult to shoulder the heavy responsibility. At critical times, we still have to rely on aliens.

Seeing the shape of the alien, Li Tie couldn't help shaking his head, this guy has completely turned into a fat man.

As for Real Madrid's formation, they pressed forward in a big way, and Makelele rushed to the top of Manchester United's penalty area.

This also allowed Manchester United's formation to be compressed into the half court, forming a dense defense in the half court.

Zidane's feet are still very good. It is unlikely to break his ball. Li Tie also greets his teammates and pays attention to the opponent's running and passing routes.

The two sides fell into a tug of war again.

In the 60th minute, Zidane suddenly sent an overhead ball, Ronaldo flew into the air and volleyed, and the ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Neuer plucked onions from dry land again, soared into the air, and flew to hit the ball.

This made the Manchester United fans cheer again. With such a goalkeeper, he has indeed conceded a lot less goals this season.

Since Neuer became the starting goalkeeper, Manchester United has conceded significantly fewer goals. In fact, Van der Sar has done a good job before.

Manchester United's defense committed the problem of waiting for the ball this time and failed to watch Ronaldo.

Although Ronaldo has gained weight, his consciousness is still top-notch.

He also shook his hand regretfully. This may be his last season in Real Madrid, and he originally wanted to give Real Madrid something in return.

It's a pity that the opponent's goalkeeper is so good that the ball can be saved, Ronaldo can only feel bad luck.

Real Madrid's corner kick still didn't work, Neuer struck out and took the ball off.

He then threw the ball to attack, throwing the ball to Ryan Giggs on the left.

Giggs poked a hook under his feet, and then rushed up.

Maicon returned to the defense fairly quickly, but Giggs suddenly shifted a wide range, and the ball went directly to Simao's feet on the right.

Carlos beside Simao chased him even faster. He caught up with Simao in an instant, and Simao hit the middle of the road immediately.

The ball fell into the net like a cannonball. Casillas couldn't react in time and could only watch the ball fly into the goal behind him, 0:2!

Dong Fangzhuo rushed to the sidelines frantically. This goal is really beautiful. It is similar to Li Tie's previous goal.

They are all caught off guard by the goalkeeper, and the hit rate is very good.

"Aww! I did it, Brother Tie, I did it!"

Dong Fangzhuo yelled at Li Tie who was running over.

Li Tie smiled and said: "That's right, you guys did a good job, they are finished!"

Li Tie can finally breathe a sigh of relief about the development of Dong Fangzhuo's time and space. With his own conditions and the integration of Vieri, Dong Fangzhuo's time and space will definitely become a super striker in world football.

And the good development of this season is also destined that he will not be ignored by Manchester United. No matter who will be the coach, he will not leave such a good striker unused.

Ryan Giggs and Simao also joined in. Of course, the two also contributed to this goal.

With their speed, the opponent's defense line has no chance to connect.

Therefore, Dong Fangzhuo's goal should also be accounted for one-third of the credit.

The other third of the credit is of course goalkeeper Neuer, whose accuracy in throwing the ball is staggering!
The next World Cup will be held in Germany, and the German team's hopes of winning the championship will definitely increase greatly.

In the Bernabeu stands, the Manchester United fans were satisfied. They shouted Dong Fangzhuo's name loudly in the stands.

This season, apart from Li Tie, there are not many other Manchester United players who have shown their talents. Dong Fangzhuo is one of them.

15 goals in the league and 5 goals in the Champions League are definitely qualified for a 17-year-old player.

Therefore, Manchester United fans like this somewhat shy big boy very much.

The lead of these two goals has obviously basically determined the future of Manchester United.

If the opponent wants to get back, they have to score three. For Manchester United, they have not conceded three goals this season.

At this point, even Real Madrid fans feel a little disheartened.

This galactic battleship is so luxurious, why did it have to run aground again?
In the previous games of this season, Real Madrid showed strong dominance, but today they met Manchester United and had no choice.

Could this be the legendary nemesis?

After the re-kick-off, the Real Madrid players attacked like crazy. At this time, there is no difference between losing two and losing three.

Must put all eggs in one basket to see if there is any hope of getting it back.

Manchester United defended with all their strength, and Dong Fangzhuo ran back to the half to participate in the defense.

In the 71st minute, after receiving a direct pass from Zidane in the penalty area, Ronaldo suddenly made a pendulum-style dribble and hit Zhang Heizi.

Three minutes later, Ronaldo received the ball in the penalty area and made a sudden cross. Raul stabbed in the middle, but failed to exert force, and was easily picked up by Neuer.

In the 79th minute, after Zidane shook Fletcher and Li Tie away, he suddenly sent a penalty kick.

Raul volleyed with his left foot, but the ball accidentally hit the post and popped out!
Raul could only look up to the sky and sigh: the sky has no eyes!

Manchester United then began to make substitutions, Pepe replaced Simao to strengthen the defense of the central defender.

2 minutes later, Queiroz let Glenn Johnson up again, replacing Giggs.

These two substitutions effectively disrupted Real Madrid's rhythm and at the same time strengthened their own defense.

Subsequently, the Real Madrid players basically lost their fighting spirit.

The rest of the time was also quickly consumed.

Li Tie continued to be his free man in the middle, running all over the court to intercept the opponent's pass.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Real Madrid 0:2 away and reached the final of the 2002-2003 UEFA Champions League!
The final will be held at Old Trafford on May 5, and Manchester United is the host. This will undoubtedly greatly increase their chances of winning the championship.
