Chapter 415 I Will Wait For You At Old Trafford
However, in the case of a close match, one less person is really a big disadvantage, especially for teams that are still behind.

Although Manchester United had Ferguson's magic substitution in the second half, Vincent immediately made Manchester United's substitution futile.

"Long pass transfer!" Vincent told Thuram, and then Thuram told the whole team.

Inter Milan's execution is still very good, and it's time to slip Manchester United players.

In the 49th minute, Seedorf took the ball on the right side of Manchester United, Brown stepped forward to defend, and Beckham was watching Zanetti. Seedorf made a pass to the wing, but the ball remained. Keep on their own feet, but Zanetti and both ran to the bottom line.

After Seedorf retracted his foot, he lifted it up again. At this time, what he really wanted to do was to transfer the ball from the right to the left.

Jugovic on the left prepared for the ball as if he had already known the ball, and then easily unloaded the ball, one-on-one with Giggs who returned to defense, but Jugovic did not want to break through He just waited until Thuram ran past him, pushed forward lightly, and ran towards the penalty area by himself.

Giggs continued to follow Jugovic and Thuram was left unguarded as centre-back Sylvester, who had shrunk back when the ball was on the right, hadn't had time to run over.

Thuram felt that he would be at a disadvantage if he made a pass without defense. Although he made a turn, he led into the penalty area. After Thuram entered the penalty area, Sylvester came to him.

Thuram glanced at the penalty area. He was not breaking through Sylvester, but just rubbed the ball towards the middle. The ball was not high and was probably in the chest position.

Of course, the battle between Vieri and Stam is still in the middle. The two have met each other since the beginning of the fight. Stam seems to have never lost a one-on-one with Vieri. The first one If it wasn't blocked by Chiesa when I went in, I wouldn't have appeared.

This time, Vieri tried his best. He probably had already judged the landing point when Thuram kicked the ball, and then suddenly shouldered Stam on his shoulders. When he adjusted his center of gravity, Vieri Taking a step forward, his body escaped Stam's control.

Then stop the ball in the chest, follow up and shoot with his left foot. This is a venting shot. The anger before the game and even during the injury period is concentrated in this shot.

Although Barthez reacted quickly, he was still helpless in the face of this shot. Barthez reproduced the bewildered expression he had when facing Roberto Carlos' free kick.

When Vieri saw the goal, he ran to the corner flag as if venting, kicked the corner flag off, and then ran to the Inter Milan fans, celebrating with them with open arms.

Vieri has been waiting for this goal for too long. Half a year of injury has made him almost desperate for the green field. He did not expect to play so quickly after his comeback and score so quickly, although Vieri feels that he is far away from himself now. There is still some gap in the peak, but it doesn't matter, after adapting to the two games, you can definitely find the peak state.

In fact, he was wrong, his state is already very good, but he still needs to get used to it.

"That's the way!" Fan Shang shouted at Zeng Jia after seeing the goal.

"Yes! That's the routine!" Zeng Jia also echoed Fan Shang.

Looking at Ferguson on the Manchester United side, it is estimated that he was so angry that he almost swallowed his chewing gum.Then the Manchester United bench became Ferguson's venting tool, constantly yelling at innocent substitute players.

The substitutes Fan Shang gave to Manchester United in his heart, there is nothing wrong with them at all, but he has to be willing to listen to the lesson. To play for Manchester United, he must first endure the occasional outbursts of teacher Ferguson like a primary school student.

Ferguson may have also seen his own weakness after adjustment. After thinking for a few minutes, he made an important decision, that is, not to attack, but to keep his defense well and prevent Inter Milan from scoring.Anyway, it's not a two-round elimination system. It doesn't matter if the group loses a game, especially since Inter Milan's posture is to be the top of the group.

So Ferguson used the second substitution in his hand in the 53rd minute and replaced Cole with Irvine, so that Manchester United returned to the back four, but except for a Yorke harassment on offense, There is no more troops to invest.

Now that Manchester United is going to play for peace, Inter Milan should not be too aggressive. Vincent then replaced Vieri. He has just returned from injury today and he can do well. Come down and rest.

The ensuing game was like an exhibition game. The two teams were attacking each other, but there was no threat to each other.

With the tacit consent of the coaches of the two teams, the score of the game finally stopped at 2:0. Manchester United did not lose too badly, and Inter Milan still scored three points at home.

After this game, the 2000 UEFA Champions League match schedule is all over. Now Inter Milan ranks first in this group with two wins, Manchester United ranks second with one win and one loss, followed by Valencia and Panathinaikos. It is a draw, a loss, a third and a fourth.

The relationship between Fan Shang and Ferguson is still good. Although Ferguson lost the game, he still smiled when shaking hands with Fan Shang, "I will wait for you at Old Trafford." This is still the same sentence, as if Fan Shang The only topic of discussion with Ferguson is these two games.

"Sir, aren't you interested in having a drink? Although I don't have any spirits, I have a lot of Bordeaux wine." Vincent invited Ferguson.

"Don't call me Sir, just call me Alex." Ferguson has no objection to strangers calling him Sir, but acquaintances don't like being called him that way. "Wait until the end of the next round, please, but Speaking of good wine, don’t forget to bring it to Manchester!”

After speaking, the two went back to the locker room.

"If I stayed in France, I could rest now." Vincent complained to Zenga on the bus leaving the stadium.

"But the start of our league is late? In fact, the rest time is the same." Zenga explained.

"Really? Then do I have a rest? Last year's results required us to play in the Champions League qualifiers, and what about the Coppa Italia? This is not a rhythm for players to rest." Fan Shang looked at Zeng who defended the Serie A schedule with disdain. add.

"Well, if you want to complain, you can complain." Zen Jia was also helpless.
