Chapter 419 Suspense ends!

Manchester United's starting lineup in this game is a bit different from the previous game. Rooney had a slight injury in the game against Chelsea, so Ferguson did not bring him in this game, so Manchester United became a 4-3-3 formation in this game.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams showed an extraordinary desire to attack. Barcelona first used their skilled foot skills and short pass penetration to continuously hit the ball in front of the penalty area and complete the shots. Several attacks were very threatening.From beginning to end, Barcelona's pass control has always been the biggest threat to Manchester United.

However, Manchester United is not to be outdone. Barcelona, ​​​​who counterattacked several times, is also very embarrassed. The counterattack speed of Manchester United's two wings makes Barcelona very afraid. However, Barcelona, ​​who is behind in the score, has no qualifications to defend.

However, Barcelona’s dream didn’t last long. In the 24th minute of the game, Manchester United launched a counterattack from the backcourt. Yunfei’s long pass found Bell who was going forward. Afterwards, without hesitation, he shot furiously directly!

The ball only stayed in the air for a very short time, and the ball went straight to the dead corner like lightning!

World wave!
At the most anxious moment of the game, Scholes used a world wave to prove that he is still the most trusted midfielder of Manchester United!
This goal is obviously a blow to Barcelona. They have fallen into a greater disadvantage in the away game. The only good news is that they don't need three consecutive goals. They only need to score two goals, and they will still be the winner of the game.

However, Barcelona was unable to break Manchester United's defense on the field. Although Messi often performed brilliantly against Evra on the wing, he was unable to support Barcelona's offensive burden alone.

At the last moment of the last game, almost everyone saw that Iniesta and Xavi were a great threat together. However, in this game, Rijkaard still chose to let Iniesta play as a winger and put Henry on the bench. Such stubbornness is not a good thing for Barcelona. Deco's current state has declined too much!

And Barcelona, ​​which lacks explosive points in the frontcourt, can find opportunities in front of the penalty area, but they are unable to seize them. Eto'o is of course a good striker, but he is a very athletic striker who needs space for him to run and create opportunities. However, Barcelona's tactics are not very friendly to him now.
"How much does Rijkaard dislike Henry? Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be the best decision to remove Deco and join Henry?"

Queiroz on the sidelines didn't quite understand what Rijkaard was insisting on. Now Barcelona needs to score. In this case, it is not an attacker. Only in the year of the monkey can the score be equalized!

Ferguson smiled. He could understand Rijkaard's persistence, but whether this persistence is wise or not is another matter. At least so far, Rijkaard's persistence has not brought any benefits to his team. Instead, it has dragged down Barcelona's overall offense. Reasonably, Ferguson is still somewhat afraid of Henry. After all, the opponent is very familiar with his team and the rhythm of England's game.Fortunately, Rijkaard only gave Henry two or three 10 minutes per game, which greatly reduced the pressure on Manchester United!
On the other side, Rijkaard was also watching the game anxiously. The game was about to be technical in the first half, but the team still didn't see a chance to score. He is already thinking about making such a substitution in the second half. Henry will definitely play. As for the remaining two places, he needs to think carefully.

In the second half, the two teams were still going back and forth, and the goalkeepers of the two teams were the busiest people in this game.

On the court, Messi is still running hard, hoping to use his performance to help the team.

In the 57th minute of the game, Iniesta took the ball at the front of the penalty area. Facing the dense defense, after attracting several defensive players himself, he suddenly tapped the ball back!
Messi quickly cut in at the back point, and with almost no defense, he volleyed the ball directly!
The ball was very difficult. When Messi was half-holding the ball, he could still suppress the ball with a twisted volley. It was very difficult, but because the angle was a little small, Van der Sar suddenly flew into the air, and threw the ball away in a flash.

All the fans in the audience exclaimed at this time, this goal is really only a little away from the goal. For Manchester United, if Barcelona scores a goal, then Manchester United will be in a very dangerous situation. Fortunately, this goal was not scored!
Just when Messi saw a little hope, Rijkaard began to deploy troops on the sidelines, replacing Iniesta with Henry and playing the position of left winger.

This substitution made Messi feel cold. He is definitely not happy to see Iniesta go off the field, but this is the head coach's decision, and even he is powerless to say anything.

No one noticed that Messi's expression at this time, the originally sunny face was obviously a little gloomy, it was an expression of his extreme dissatisfaction!

Ferguson was a little surprised when Rijkaard replaced Iniesta. Everyone could see the huge threat Iniesta was on the field, but you just replaced him?But this is definitely good news for Manchester United.

The next game completely became Messi's performance alone. He tried his best, but he still couldn't break through Manchester United's goal. Time passed little by little. In the stands beside the stadium, the cheering singing of the fans became louder and louder, which indicated that the team they supported would soon win the final victory!
