Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

Until the moment of the game, Ronaldo was still nagging Li Qi to pass the ball to him more, and give him more assists. However, just as he was sleepy, he was given a pillow. Before the game, Scholes was accidentally injured, and Sir Alex arranged Li Qi to play in the middle and be responsible for organizing the ball. Moreover, Sir Alex's tactical arrangement was to pass the ball as quickly as possible and launch an offensive around Ronaldo and Rooney...

Isn't that perfect? ​​The ball coming from the midfield and backfield is always here, and then I am responsible for passing it to Ronaldo first, and then to Rooney and Giggs if it can't fit.

So after the kick-off, Li Qi's passing route was very clear, which was to pass the ball to Ronaldo's feet in various ways. Ronaldo, who had been holding back for a game, was in great form in this game, and he made waves in Dynamo Kyiv's half right after the start. This made Sir Alex Ferguson very satisfied, thinking that Li Qi was decisive in executing his tactics, and had a clear judgment of the situation on the field, and he kept hitting his team's strong points.

In the 10th minute of the game, Manchester United created a threat with Ronaldo's dribbling breakthrough.

This attack still came from Li Qi's decisive through pass. He got the ball in the midfield without hesitation. Seeing Ronaldo asking for the ball, he directly passed the ball with a curve ball, and it landed steadily at Ronaldo's feet.

Ronaldo's high-speed dribbling breakthrough on the right side also made Dynamo's defense miserable, so Gioiane could only foul Ronaldo in advance at the edge of the penalty area to prevent the latter from breaking into the penalty area.

Giggs was then responsible for handling this direct free kick about 25 yards from the goal. After all, the angle was relatively small, not suitable for Ronaldo to shoot directly, but it was more suitable for Giggs to make a curved cross than a corner kick.

Then the iron-clad central defender Ferdinand jumped high 6 meters in front of the goal and smashed the free kick taken by Giggs directly into the upper corner of the goal along the crossbar.

这是费迪南德在职业生涯中打入的第2个欧冠进球，也是他在近2场比赛的第2球；这球也帮助曼联在本场比赛首开记录，客场1比0领先！

After the game, the British News Agency also published an article with emotion: "After scoring the first goal of the new season in the last league game, England's top defender scored the first goal of the Champions League this season with a header. In Ferdinand's career, scoring has always been an area where he is not good at, but now he seems to have found the feeling."

Although it was a goal obtained from a set piece, Li Qi, as the person who planned the attack and won the set piece, was naturally accepted by the team. It seems that there was a reason why Li Qi kept feeding the ball to Ronaldo. It was either because of the old man's instruction, or he discovered our explosive point and the opponent's weakness. Go ahead!

Li Qi, who was lying down and being carried to the fifth floor, naturally behaved like a master without revealing anything. He would never reveal that he was so annoyed by Ronaldo before the game that he planned to let Ronaldo attack first to attract firepower.

Li Qi thought: Since the promised ball has been passed to the right place, but you, Ronaldo, are not doing your best and just messing around and didn't get the ball in, you can't blame me for shifting the focus of the attack. After all, if I pass the ball to Ronaldo again, his teammates won't say anything, but the opposing defender will probably want to destroy Ronaldo...

So in the next few minutes, Li Qi started to use Ronaldo as a cover, and after the fake move, he shook his ankle and passed the ball to Rooney, Tevez and Giggs in the opposite direction. This won Sir Alex Ferguson's constant nods on the sidelines, thinking that the young man was teachable, very smart, and could draw inferences from one example. After setting up Ronaldo as a target, he began to divert his firepower.

In the 13th minute, Tevez received a diagonal pass from Li Qi and won a corner kick. Giggs took the kick and Ferdinand got the ball again, but his header was too high.

In the 16th minute, Rooney received a through pass from Lizzie and was knocked down from behind by Diacart, winning a free kick; Giggs took the free kick, and Rooney's header was confiscated by goalkeeper Shovkovsky.

When Li Qi saw that Ronaldo had cooled down and didn't attract the attention of the opponent's defense as much as at the beginning of the game, he suddenly made two fake moves in a row, and then passed the ball to Ronaldo's feet: the process was that Li Qi pretended to pass the ball to Ronaldo, then dribbled it back and didn't pass it, and wanted to pass it to Rooney, oh, dribbled it back again, and still didn't pass it, I passed it! In fact, I just wanted to pass it to Ronaldo...

In the 18th minute, after receiving Li Qi's juggling pass, Ronaldo once again broke out in amazing form. He first received the ball on the right wing, then volleyed on the spot, continuously getting rid of the defense, heading directly to the middle, and after using his personal skills to break through to the front of the penalty area, he suddenly passed the ball with the outside of his foot!

The ball accurately found Wes Brown who was already in the open space on the right side. The latter took the ball and rushed into the right side of the penalty area. After all, the defense was distracted by Li Qi and Ronaldo in the middle and left. Then Wes Brown did not hesitate and passed the ball directly to the front of the goal.

Dynamo defender Gavrancic flew back to defend and stretched his legs to block the ball. The ball changed direction slightly and shook the goalkeeper Shovkovsky who was about to attack and intercept. Rooney behind him had already been in position in the middle. 5 meters away from the goal, he jumped into the air and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal with his right foot to score, 2-0! Rooney scored for the sixth consecutive game.

The day after this game was Rooney's 22nd birthday. This goal was undoubtedly the best birthday present! Yes, what could Manchester United's No. 6 want more than scoring in 10 consecutive games?

If there is, it must be when celebrating a goal, don't let your teammates, oh no, it's these idiots pile up on you! Especially that damn Ricardo Liqi and Cristiano Ronaldo! You two just wait!

In fact, it was not until he was celebrating Rooney's goal that he realized from other teammates that tomorrow was his good friend's birthday, so Ronaldo decided to pass a few more balls to Rooney first and then his turn.

So in the 21st minute of the game, Li Qi continued to pass the ball diagonally, sending the ball to Ronaldo's chest; the latter stopped the ball and faked it, dodged the defense and passed it directly to the right side of the penalty area. Rooney, who understood the intention, made a diagonal move and shot with a half turn 15 meters away from the goal, but unfortunately the ball was blocked by goalkeeper Shovkovsky.

Tevez followed up with a volley shot with his right foot from 11 meters in front of the goal, but defender Gavrancic, who treated the ball as a good friend, blocked it with his face and cleared it...

Manchester United played a bit relaxed, but in the first half hour of the first half, Manchester United's advantage actually came more from the strong performance of Ronaldo. They basically didn't lose the ball when they had it, and all of them formed the final shot. This made Manchester United's offensive organization very efficient, because Li Qi basically didn't waste time in the midfield. 60% of the ball went directly to Ronaldo, and the remaining 40% was distributed to other strong players such as Giggs, Rooney or Tevez.

Therefore, once Manchester United made a mistake in the frontcourt, it caused loopholes in the defense of Manchester United, which had no sense of tension. As a result, in the 34th minute, Manchester United was tied by the home team Dynamo.

Li Qi did not choose to look for Ronaldo directly this time, but wanted to make a change and passed the ball to Tevez who retreated to the midfield. However, the latter's breakthrough was guessed by Gavrancic who followed closely and was directly blocked by a shovel!

Manchester United lost the ball in the midfield! Dynamo immediately launched a counterattack, Lin Kong broke through at high speed along the right, O'Shea was out of position, Giggs was definitely unable to return, fortunately Li Qi flew back to defend and blocked Lin Kong's cross ball out of the bottom line.

Then Correa took a corner kick from the right side, and O'Shea, who had just returned from injury and was not familiar with the position, missed the ball again! Lin Kong, who was unmarked at the back post, headed the ball from 10 meters in front of the goal. The ball was caught by Van der Sar with one hand, but the ball changed slightly and still fell into the net over the head of Ronaldo who was guarding the back post, 1 to 2!

However, Manchester United, who was forced to close the score, did not panic at all. They were in good shape in the midfield and frontcourt. They just needed to fight back after being chased by one goal!

In the 41st minute of the game, Manchester United changed the score again.

The attack started with Giggs holding the ball, and Li Qi made a cross-position switch with him. The former secretly made a straight pass at the moment when their bodies crossed, and immediately broke through the home team's midfielder's defense.

Then the latter understood what he meant and slipped the ball between his legs, and then he passed the ball to another person, and in an instant he dodged the right-back Nesmachini, who was completely blinded by the fancy cooperation.

After breaking through Dynamo's defense on the left, Li Qi observed calmly, adjusted patiently, and steadily sent a curved cross from the edge of the penalty area. The ball passed Rooney who was double-teamed in the front point and found Ronaldo who was outflanking in the back point.

Ronaldo leaped into the air, shook his head like a lion 9 meters in front of the goal, and used enough force to smash the ball into the upper left corner of the home team's goal!

This goal was so cool, Manchester United 3-1! Ronaldo was obviously satisfied and happy, running wildly to celebrate, and even called Li Qi and Rooney to join...

Li Qi heaved a sigh of relief, as he had finally completed the KPI for this game ahead of schedule, achieving the goal of assisting Ronaldo, +1 for Ronaldo’s friendliness, +15 autographed photos, and +a quarter for the luxurious buffet!

Manchester United entered the halftime break with a two-goal advantage. After the change of sides, the home team Dynamo took the lead in adjusting its lineup, replacing Berkovic and Milevski, a full-back and a center forward, obviously wanting to increase the threat of crosses from the wing.

However, just five minutes into the second half, it was Manchester United that changed the situation again.

After receiving a long pass from Wes Brown, Rooney knocked the ball back on the left side of the penalty area. Giggs stopped the ball and adjusted it before passing it horizontally to the right in time.

However, to everyone's surprise, Li Qi in the middle suddenly cut off Giggs' cross pass halfway, and then without any adjustment, he volleyed the ball 20 meters in front of the goal in the middle of the penalty area! The ball flew into the bottom right corner of the goal like an arrow!

Not long after the second half started, Manchester United expanded their lead again to 4-1!

Afterwards, Manchester United did not stop the attack, and striker Tevez, who had not yet started the game, was very active in creating threats. In the 56th minute, Tevez received a pass from Li Qi and broke through to 20 meters in front of the goal and shot hard, but unfortunately the ball was blocked by Shovkovsky to the right.

Manchester United got the ball and continued to attack. After Li Qi controlled the ball, he passed it to the left. Giggs, who was not guarded, sent a cross from the left wing. Dynamo goalkeeper Shovkovsky did not stay in front of the goal, but attacked in time. He made a desperate save at the feet of Rooney who was about to shoot after stopping the cross. As a result, he collided with his good friend defender Gavrancic. Fortunately, the ball was cleared by Nesmacni in the chaos.

Then the hardworking Tevez grabbed the ball again, made a wall-to-wall pass with Li Qi, and rushed straight into the home team's penalty area.

In the 67th minute, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack. Tevez rushed forward, but missed the space and angle to cut inside and shoot, so he could only force a cross from the right.

However, the ball that Tevez passed with a flying shovel hit the right elbow of his good football friend Gavrancic, who accidentally opened his arm. The referee Kasai discussed with the assistant referee and awarded a penalty kick.

Given Rooney's previous penalty kick, Ronaldo was the natural choice to take the penalty this time, and naturally ignored Tevez's sad look. After Ronaldo's signature run-up, he decisively used his right foot to push the ball into the dead corner at the bottom left of the goal. Dynamo goalkeeper Shovkovsky completely guessed the direction... Manchester United led the home team 5-1 away from home!

So Sir Alex Ferguson, who felt that the game was already a foregone conclusion, began to deploy his troops, allowing more substitute players to experience the feeling of the Champions League, and also letting the main players who had played more games recently go off the field to rest.

In the 70th minute, Anderson came on to replace Li Qi, and Iglesias came on to replace Tevez.

But it was clear that the home team Dynamo did not give in completely and scored a goal in the 78th minute. Milevski made a low pass from the left, and Bangura made a powerful low shot with his right foot from 25 meters in front of the goal. The ball went into the lower left corner of the Manchester United goal from the palm of Van der Sar's flying hand.

The score was 2-5, but obviously there was no way to change the overall situation. Sir Alex then replaced the hard-working veteran Giggs with young player Simpson, and Manchester United successfully maintained the score of 5-2 until the end of the game.

After getting rid of the turbulence and instability at the beginning of the season, Manchester United has scored 3 goals in 5 consecutive games in the league and Champions League!

@

5 to 2! This was undoubtedly a big win, and Manchester United also got rid of the hat of away bugs in European competitions in this game, winning the biggest victory in the away game of the European Champions League in 9 years. Manchester United won all three games in the first round of Group F, basically securing a place in the top 16, and the only suspense left was whether they would qualify as the group leader.

In addition, Manchester United scored five goals in three consecutive games within 17 days. It seems that Manchester United's offensive power has returned to its peak level. In the press conference after the game, Ferguson said proudly: "The performance of the players in the front court was quite outstanding. Some of the movements and cooperation were so beautiful. Although the final shot looked easy, we have to look at it as a whole and add in the series of things before the goal... No matter when, scoring five goals away from home in the Champions League represents an excellent performance, and we can even score more goals."

In fact, Manchester United was not strong before the start of the game, and was even a bit unlucky. Scholes was injured in training after arriving in Ukraine, and Evra was injured in the warm-up before the game. Fortunately, the whole team worked together and finally won 3 points.

Scholes will undergo a scan, Carrick and Hargreaves are still on the injury list, and Sir Alex Ferguson can only pray that the ginger head's injury is not too serious. But from another perspective, Sir Alex Ferguson also has another reason to be proud: "Manchester United's bench depth is very deep, and more importantly, the lineup change has not affected the performance of the whole team. O'Shea temporarily played Evra's position, and Fletcher played in the midfield. Both of them played very well. Of course, these two are Manchester United veterans who have played for the team for many years and are very familiar with the tactical play. Others, such as Li Qi, Tevez, and Anderson, have just joined the team, but they have quickly adapted to the team."

Rooney, who received a birthday present in this game, has scored 7 goals in six consecutive games. Rooney has recreated Ronaldo's myth of last season; around Christmas last season, Ronaldo scored twice in three consecutive games. The "double hat trick" helped Manchester United widen the gap with Chelsea. It was at that time that the Portuguese laid the foundation for the best performance of the Premier League season.

They scored 15 goals in three games, including 4 goals from Ronaldo, 4 goals from Rooney, 3 goals from Lizzie and 4 assists. Together with Tevez's 1 goal, 1 assist and 1 penalty, Manchester United's young frontcourt combination accounted for 12 of the goals!

Sir Alex Ferguson also seemed to have seen the comments of Manchester United legend Dennis Irving: "Rooney, Ronaldo, Li Qi, Tevez, Manchester United has a very good arsenal of weapons and ammunition. They are all very good players and can bring real threats to the opponent's defense. Although Andy Cole and York, the famous black wind duo, were eye-catching in their first season together...but don't forget that Rooney has just turned 22, Ronaldo is also 22, Li Qi is only 21, and Tevez is only 23. There is still a long way to go in the future."

"They are all very daring, they all have speed, courage, skills and the confidence to beat anyone. The future is here at Manchester United. They are Manchester United's dream four little swans!"

Although the prefix "fantasy" was added, Ricardo still felt ashamed when he heard Sir Alex Ferguson's final name for Manchester United's frontcourt combination after the game: Wouldn't it be better to call it the Fantastic Four, the Happy Four, or the Magic Quartet? Even the Four Headed Monsters would be fine! Even the Four Little Flowers... Uh, cross it out, forget about F4...

No, we have to secretly unite with the remaining three idiots and work together to reverse the passive situation. We must change the name! We can't be nailed to the pillar of shame in history like this!
