Ferguson had another meeting with the coaching staff that night, and finally he made a decision.

Carrick started the first half and Arthur came off the bench.

After he made the announcement, he saw the expressions of other people... No matter how you can see it, everyone looks relieved.

This made him a little unhappy. Could it be that Arthur couldn't do it in the first half?

Perrin had been with him for a long time, and when Sir Alex's expression changed, he smiled and said, "Everyone knows that you love Arthur, but he can only play in the first half."

How come it's halftime, and being replaced in the second half, it's better to let go of the halftime.

Originally, this kid was already invincible in speed, and he ran down the halfway over there, basically waiting for Arthur to lead them around.

That's the smart thing to do.

Of course, it would be best if Arthur could support the whole room, but unfortunately he can't.

Since it is impossible to choose one in the first half, no one is surprised how Ferguson will choose in the end.

After all, reason is reason, emotion is emotion, this old man just feels that he has wronged his darling little chick.

Ferguson really felt that he had wronged Arthur, so he brought him with him at the pre-match press conference the next day.

Of course, this also has the meaning of flashing a false gun.

Maybe Chelsea was too wronged to be eliminated before. After Ferguson took Arthur and Kaka to attend the pre-match press conference, the reporters first asked Ferguson what he thought of Chelsea fans' attitude towards the referee Tom in the second round of the semi-final.Herning sent death threats.

Ferguson said coldly: "I don't want to discuss these now. I just want to focus on the game in front of me. My opponent is Barcelona, ​​not Chelsea. What I have to do is to deal with the game in front of me, not to evaluate other people's games. .”

"Are you regretting that you played against Barcelona instead of Chelsea?"

Ferguson glanced at the reporter of Spain's "Mundo Deportivo" and asked, "No, why do you have such a misunderstanding?"

Ferguson said "Oh" before he could speak, and he said in a drawn out voice: "For Manchester United, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, because we will go all out to prepare for the final and then win the trophy. "

The reporter's expression was not good. Whoever supported the team was treated so arrogantly by the opponent's coach, and he only wished that his nostrils were turned upside down. Anyone would be unhappy.

The media in other countries obviously didn't think there was any arrogance in Ferguson's attitude.

Generally speaking, their attitude is very neutral——

After all, this is not their country's team.But overall it is still slightly biased towards the Barcelona team.

This is not because they are fans of pass-and-control football, after all, Manchester United have played really well this season.

Ferguson's tactics have no obvious forwards. Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, and Arthur can all be terminators. As long as they can play smoothly, the cooperation between them is also smooth.

They hope that Barcelona will win the trophy after 06, but simply want to end the advantage of the Premier League team in the European arena.

If it wasn't for Tom this year.Herning gave Chelsea two penalty kicks. The final outcome is unknown, and it almost turned into a Premier League derby again.

Does this allow other leagues to play?

But the media did not let go of this topic easily, they pointed their guns at Arthur.

After Chelsea lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup, they were about to blow this little golden retriever to heaven!

Forget about Terry and Lampard, and even Ballack blew it up, although everyone felt that Ballack was bragging about himself through Arthur——

"The best position for Arthur? I think the best position for Arthur is midfield. He is an all-round talent, he can fit anywhere in the midfield, he will be the best B2B player, I think he can also To be a great captain, I even think he resembles me."

Although after joining Chelsea, most of what Ballack did was to help wipe his ass because of Lampard's existence, but in terms of all-round midfielders, this man can definitely be selected as the best five in history.

Germans seldom praise other people, but because of this praise, they became reporters chasing Arthur.

Barack played a wave of Arthur, and according to the law, Arthur had to blow a wave back.

After Chelsea was eliminated, Ballack and Drogba were the two most indifferent Chelsea players compared to the furious attitude of other teammates.

Their attitude even caused dissatisfaction among some Chelsea fans, causing some controversy between the two of them.

Arthur looked at the British reporter who asked the question, "I watched this game with my coach and teammates. Like my BOSS, now is not the right time to evaluate this game."

After expressing his attitude, Arthur changed the subject and continued: "After Chelsea was eliminated, I comforted my friends. This is another close encounter between Michael (Barack) and the Champions League. He chose to take it easy In the face of it, I personally appreciate his attitude. I also think that the Blues have always been a strong team, and they paid their wages for that game, and they are worthy of the fans."

Kaka was looking sideways at Arthur when he was answering the question. Hearing what he said, the Brazilian smiled slightly.

This was the Arthur he knew.

After the "Stamford Bridge tragedy", the media of good deeds summed up a law of Ballack: if Ballack participated in the final of the football competition, his team would not be able to win the championship.

Michael.Ballack has won [-] runner-ups, for which some fans have called Ballack the "runner-up king"

But Arthur appreciates Barack, and he doesn't like the "championism" of the media.

He believes that Barak is a real fighter and a strong man, so he can still be strong and calm after missing so much.

Kaka associated Mrs. Cavendish from his evaluation.

So he understood why Arthur had such a view.

When the media got a response from Arthur, some people turned to ask Kaka how he viewed the game.

The Brazilian, though smiling, rejected the subject very firmly, "I think we spend too much time on this game, but what does this game have to do with our press conference now? Let them Let's talk about the game itself."

The Brazilian answered in this way, and the media could only beat the gongs and drums, focusing on the game itself.

This game can be described as this year's Tianwangshan battle——

Barcelona had already won the league title and the Copa del Rey before this.Not to mention Manchester United, winning six championships in one season is simply an unprecedented super giant!

From the perspective of the coach, Ferguson is old and strong. He has coached Manchester United for 22 years. He is a football legend!

Guardiola is an outstanding representative of the young coaches. From the radical cleansing of Ronaldinho, to helping Messi, to his football philosophy, it has refreshed the football world.

In terms of players, Ronaldo, Kaka, Arthur and Barcelona's Messi, four of the top five Golden Globes are playing on the field!

Whoever is the best performer in this field, whoever wins the game, may be one position ahead in this year's Golden Globe competition!

Barcelona's Pique was also transferred from Manchester United to Barcelona. He became the first player to represent two different teams in the Champions League and finals for two consecutive seasons.

A Spanish reporter who was about to be ordered asked Arthur: "Who do you think is the MVP of this game?"

The British media raised their eyebrows and looked at him like an idiot.

Kaka smiled wryly, and Arthur had answered as a matter of course: "Cristiano Ronaldo."

Kaka, who smiled wryly, could only be forced to be asked by the next Spanish reporter: "Kaka, who do you think is the MVP?"

The Brazilian looked at Arthur helplessly, "Although my 'children' only have idols in their eyes, as a parent, I still think he is the best."

This answer filled the entire press conference hall with laughter, even Ferguson smiled.

When the reporters saw this, they booed and asked Ferguson this question. Ferguson spread his hands: "Of course it will be my child. Who is the one who performed the best that day? Of course I don't know, but I love each of them. Of course they all It's the best in my heart."

Everyone booed and asked again, but Ferguson smiled and didn't answer the question again.

This should be the most nonsensical UEFA Champions League final press conference he has ever given.

This is the third time that Ferguson has led his team to the Champions League final. The first two were in 99 and 08, so he is very familiar with it.

Guardiola sat in line with the coaching staff early on, waiting to watch the press conference, and was speechless after watching it.

What's the point?All went astray!

※Fight against Rome.Before game※

Of course, Victor will not miss his son's Champions League final.

Recently, in order to watch his son lift the trophy, he worked continuously. He finally squeezed out half a month to watch his son lift the Premier League trophy and kiss the little lion on the trophy; he watched his son lift the FA Cup and took a photo with Cyril ; This time it is the turn of the big ear cup.

Although this trophy is the ugliest in terms of the duke's aesthetics, the Premier League trophy is the most beautiful.

Arthur's mother, Grace, had withdrawn from public service in Africa, and sat at the family table with him, Mrs Cavendish, Eve, Cyril, and Luca.

Kaka's parents sat with them, and Luka was held in Kaka's mother's arms.

When the son got divorced and other big things happened, although the husband and son still had some ideological conflicts, Simone's motherhood broke out. She and her husband had a big fight, and then flew to Manchester alone.

Bosque.Mr. Wright stayed at home alone for a few days, and finally couldn't hold back anymore. He flew to Rome the day before the competition, and met his wife, grandson, and——

eldest son.

This is Bosque's proud son. This is simply God's greatest gift to him. In fact, he still doesn't quite understand his son's choice, but... this is also his son.

Not to mention Luca!

Cyril sat with this Mr. Wright, and would yell "Sissy" because Luca couldn't see him.

Mr. Bosque saw that Cyril was taking care of Luca skillfully. He had an unstoppable affection for the child, but he could barely control it. Simone couldn't help but changed seats with him.

Bosque was silent.

what can he doHe can only change.

Bosque watched Simone quickly pass Cyril and chat with Eve familiarly, and he felt that this position was extremely awkward.

After a while, Bosque saw what Victor said, and then everyone changed positions, and it became him sitting with the Duke.

Not far from them are Prince William and King Juan of Spain.Carlos I, and his son, Crown Prince Felipe.

Not far ahead is Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

It is not the first time that Del Bosque has watched the Champions League final live, but it is the first time that he has been in close contact with this class.

Victor’s attention to Manchester United has skyrocketed since his son went to Manchester United. Kaka has been taking care of his son. From Victor’s point of view, if the Brazilian doesn’t want to leave, don’t even think about giving him a few hundred million He sells people!

So he had to have a good chat with Bosque today.

If it wasn't for his permission, it wouldn't be their turn to sit together.

Victor thought about the topic for a while, and felt that children were the best entry point. He smiled and said, "I think Kaka will definitely perform well today."

Bosque was very upset. His son started today, but Victor's son could only be a substitute.

Cough, anyway, his son is better at this moment!

"I think Arthur will definitely be replaced in the second half. He is fast and has a strong impact. Sir Alex Ferguson regarded him as a surprise soldier." Bosque still praised his son.

Victor said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, he will definitely play, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't play."

Bosque looked at him strangely. This is the final of the Champions League. You don't even expect your son to play?

"Of course I hope Arthur can play, it is an honor after all, but he is still very young and not yet a mature player, and being on the bench is also a life experience." Victor saw his eyes for him explain.

If Arthur watched the entire game on the bench, although he had a little regret, he didn't feel anything.

His son, himself, was different.

They were chatting here, and the two princes William and Felipe were also chatting. Their positions were arranged a little close, and they changed seats by the way when they greeted each other, sitting and chatting together.

One of these two is a British prince and the other is a Spanish prince. They each support their own country's team with clear stances, and they even fell in love with each other with a small bet.

Alfonso I is well known as a Real Madrid fan, and he watched his son, who is an Atletico fan, bet with William, who has always supported Aston Villa, with a calm expression.

Andrew just wanted to complain to the second child of the Ball brothers beside him, but just as he was about to say it, he took it back——

These two are Arsenal fans!

Arsenal!

He held his forehead.

Ludwig participated in the performance and was placed in another position by UEFA, so he found himself alone, surrounded by a Manchester United fan, which is so tragic!

In the locker room at this time, because Manchester United drew the visiting team, they entered the field today wearing white away jerseys and black training clothes.

After checking the equipment, Ferguson glanced at the starters and then at the substitutes.

The substitutes are third goalkeeper Kushchak, Beckham, Park Ji-sung, Evans, Rooney and Arthur.

After watching the players, Ferguson said all he needed to say, and he signaled everyone to warm up.

The final mobilization, he wants to stay until the end.

Everyone only knew the starting lineup an hour ago. Cristiano couldn't hide his disappointment when he heard that Arthur was on the bench. This was most likely the last time he and Arthur were teammates, and Arthur didn't start.

Kaka is no better than him, he also thought of this.

The disappointment of the two parents was palpable, and they almost wanted to catch Arthur to pat his fur and comfort themselves, but they didn't find a chance.

Going to warm up now, Cristiano took Arthur away, and Kaka immediately followed.

Fatty watched the three of them leave, and immediately said bitterly to Benzema: "Why do you say no one comforts me? I am also very hard, okay?"

Xiaojizai sits on the bench, and he also sits on the bench, but Xiaojizai can get on it no matter what, but he may not be able to!

Benzema coughed, and the fat man began to shake his neck, "You play better for me, or almost, don't give me a whimper, I don't want to lie down."

The fat man was slapped on the head the next moment.

He turned around and saw Scholes.

Fatty: ...

He was wrong QAQ!

At this time, Guardiola also ordered the players to warm up, and he frowned only after the players left the locker room one after another.

Is it because I am too immature to arouse Ferguson's rebellious psychology?

He looked at Manchester United's roster, and the 442 on it was so dazzling.

Guardiola is not afraid to fight against Manchester United, even if the opponent's attack power is strong, but he has Messi!There is Eto'o!There is Henry!

He is confident that the midfield composed of Harvey, Busquets and Iniesta is not inferior to Manchester United.

But if Ferguson wants to put up fences... it reminds Guardiola of Chelsea.

When Arthur was being cared for by Papa Mama's love, there was an extra red and blue sneaker in front of him. Arthur had never liked this color scheme.

He looked up, it was Messi.

He broke into a smile, "Leo."

Cristiano raised his eyebrows, but he and Kaka stood beside Arthur and didn't speak, because Messi was obviously coming for their chick.

Yes, both of them were Argentinian none!See!up!

When Messi saw that Arthur did not appear in the starting list, even though he immediately understood Ferguson's tactical intentions, he still couldn't hide his disappointment.

He has been longing for this final against Manchester United. Recently, he has been actively preparing for the match and strictly controlling his schedule. After finally waiting for the final day, Arthur did not start!

This made Messi feel disappointed all over.

Harvey didn't pay attention and found that Messi ran in front of Manchester United's sweetheart. He immediately ran over, followed by captain Puyol.

When they came over to take a look, they found that their family, Leo, had a shy smile on his face, saying, "...then we have made an appointment."

Seeing the two guardians of the chicken cubs looked at them with displeasure, they quickly took Messi away.

It's not difficult to understand, after all, it's the finals, and Arthur didn't make it, so why did you run over to play with others!

Xavi thought about it, but Messi beside him didn't seem to care about what he and Puyol meant at all, and didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior just now, and hummed a little tune.

Ronaldo waited for Messi to leave before he asked Arthur ferociously: "Why did you exchange jerseys with him? Shouldn't this be kept? I can also collect it!"

This is the last time they will be teammates! ! !

Does he feel sad just thinking about it? ! !

"But isn't it meaningful to exchange the jersey?" Arthur said. He didn't expect the male god to want his jersey. Cristiano's eyes made him a little embarrassed, because he could see that Cristiano was really disappointed...

He looked at Kaka and asked for off-court support, "Ricardo, I promised Leo first..."

The voice sounded extremely embarrassing, and Kaka immediately glared at the curly hair, "First come, first served, this principle applies everywhere. Since I promised Messi, of course I must do it."

Arthur looked at Cristiano again.

Cristiano doesn't know why Arthur's EQ has risen a lot recently, this little look makes him only want to look like his avatar...

However, he also knew that the Brazilians were not happy about Arthur's jersey being replaced. Listening to this name, he had changed from Rio to Messi.

"Next time, leave me your jersey next time." Cristiano said softly.

Arthur gave him a deep look and nodded.

That's the end of the chat. Of course, you can't get injured in such a competition. You must be focused and full on warming up.



Like other stadiums in Italy, the Stadio Olimpico is owned by the city hall and shared by Rome and Lazio.

It is a comprehensive venue. Although it can accommodate up to 10 people, it can only accommodate more than 6 spectators when it is used as a stadium.

Barcelona and Manchester United each got 30% of the tickets, and the rest belonged to neutral fans and were sold out.

In order to prepare for this Champions League final, a total of 37 shots were arranged in the arena.

It is also because of these shots that fans who watched the game through TV and Internet channels have already seen the picture just now.

After the warm-up, the players of both sides returned to the locker room again, and the coaches of both sides made the final mobilization.

Ferguson repeated their tactics once, and after finishing speaking, in order to ease the tension of the players——

Because this game is too important, compared to whether the opponent can become Spain's first triple crown in history, their burden is the first seven crowns in football history.

Ferguson said a wisecrack: "Don't be nervous, boys, it doesn't matter if you don't play well after starting, and it doesn't matter if you fall behind. I will let your chicks play in the second half."

Scholes, Beckham and Giggs laughed immediately, and Cristiano and Rooney were no exception.

Kaka and Benzema were at a loss, Fatty explained to them: "Boss also said this in 99, and last season too."

Benzema and Kaka immediately understood the stalk.

It turned out that Ferguson compared Arthur to Solskjaer.

Their Arthur is of course more legendary than the legendary No. 20.

Redondo has been observing their expressions, he admired Ferguson very much, because he found that the players really relaxed a lot.

He looked at Arthur who was no different from any substitute from the beginning to the end. Although he was also a supporter of Arthur's substitute, he felt a little regretful at this moment.

But it doesn't matter, Arthur has a long football career, this is the first Champions League final in his life, but it will definitely not be his last.

After Perrin reminded everyone to line up, Ferguson waved his hand, "Come on!"

It was Ferdinand who wore the captain's armband today. Ferdinand was the first to stand up and shouted: "Glory belongs to Manchester United!"

"Glory belongs to Manchester United!!!" Everyone roared.

Ferdinand went out first, Cristiano touched Arthur's hair, and then saw Benzema also reached out to stroke Arthur's hair, Kaka did not hesitate, and followed suit. Take the golden retriever.

Scholes raised his eyebrows, and the few of them hurried away. Old Si, who started today, glanced at Arthur. This was most likely the last Champions League final of his career, the last time he started.

"Just watch, you'll do better than Ole - he's there," Scholes said.

He knew the kid liked that baby face.

After Scholes finished speaking, he walked out of the locker room, and they were ready to line up.

Beckham also took Arthur out of the locker room, and they were going to the bench.

When Barcelona lined up, Manchester United was ready.Pique glanced at Vidic and Ferdinand, then looked away.

He didn't say hello to anyone.

His life at Manchester United was not very pleasant. Of course, no one at Manchester United greeted him, even Cristiano did not look at him.

The referee Busacca and the coaching staff from Switzerland looked at their watches after the two sides lined up, and found that there was still some time, so they called the captains of the two teams to have a chat.

The approximate meaning is: this is the final, you better restrain the players, and it will be a lifetime regret for them to send any one off.

Puyol glanced at Ferdinand and nodded.

Ferdinand raised his eyebrows in response.

The BBC and Sky Sports broadcast the game live at the same time. This time, the BBC invited Gerrard, Lampard and Lineker to act as today's guest commentators.

"We saw that the opening ceremony was about to start, and now the camera is showing Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and UEFA President Michel Platini, and not far away are our princes from England and Spain, oh! David Gill and Barcelona's president Huo Ann Laporta is put together...and now the opening ceremony begins!"

Arthur and Old Bei looked at the set up stage together. In the middle of the stage, the famous blind Italian tenor Andrea.Bocelli is singing.

What Arthur stared at was not the tenor, but Ludwig who was playing the piano, and Reinhard beside him.

"This shot should not be too beautiful!!!"

"We've seen couples share the same stage countless times, but this is the only time for brothers to share the same stage! The last time Reinhardt was interviewed, he even made fun of his younger brother!"

"Luka crawled into the arms of the goddess again, be careful of the goddess' stomach~"

"I heard that Arthur and Ludwig participated in the same piano competition, but unfortunately no video was released to the public, so Luther changed the track QAQ~"

Players from both sides played in Andre.Bocelli's singing entered the field, and the players of the two teams passed by the Big Ears Cup.

Cristiano walked in front, and when Kaka was about to pass by the trophy, he turned around and grabbed his hand.

Kaka: ...

Hey!I'm not going to touch it, okay?

He also heard Scholes behind him say lightly: "Good job."

This episode made many viewers laugh.

After the players from both sides entered the field, Guardiola shook hands with his predecessor Ferguson. Instead of returning to his coaching bench, Guardiola extended his hand to Redondo.

"Good luck," Redondo said.

It also happened in a split second, after which Redondo returned to the bench.

But there have been countless commentaries, and they have begun to popularize the "love-hate entanglement" between the 37-year-old Guardiola and Redondo, who is now an assistant coach of Manchester United.

"Today Van der Sar is the player with the most appearances in the Champions League finals. He represented Ajax and Manchester United in four Champions League finals. The second is Kaka. He represented Milan and Manchester United in three Champions League finals. " said the home commentator.

Bosque has kept his eyes on his son since his appearance.

He can see that Chu Kaka is in a very relaxed state, and he is not nervous at all.

After the players on both sides took pictures, the two captains, Ferdinand and Puyol, chose the side. Puyol won and decisively chose the side.

He chose the side of the net facing their fans.

Ferdinand didn't care, they weren't soft-legged shrimp who were booed!

And the ball is pretty good at their feet.

Ferguson adopted a 442 formation today.

The four defenders are obviously due to O'Shea's versatility and experience in the last major competition, he was able to start at the fierce right back position.

The central defender is the continued partner of Ferdinand and Vidic, which is the best central defender combination in the entire football world.

On the left back, Evra's task today is a bit heavy, because it is Messi who is facing him.Originally, he focused on offense and light defense, so he could only count on Ferdinand to wipe his ass.

The midfield four are Kaka, Carrick and Fletcher, Scholes.This is Manchester United's most stable and tacit midfield combination today.

They are very free in terms of positions, and now Kaka is getting along with them quite tacitly.For most of the four of them Scholes and Carrick trailed behind.

Cristiano and Benzema started the frontcourt.

After the opening, Benzema passed the ball back to Carrick, and Carrick kicked backwards. In this space, Cristiano and Benzema had already entered the penalty area of ​​Barcelona. Kaka ran no faster than the two of them. slow.

With three arrows fired together, the three remained parallel. At this time, Scholes kicked a long pass from the backcourt, directly leaped halfway, and went directly to Barcelona's backcourt to find Kaka!

Kaka successfully passed the ball before the experienced Puyol, and Cristiano hit the goal from a small angle in front of the goal!It's a pity that the ball was saved by Valdez, and Puyol snatched it out of the bottom line before Kaka!

It's a pity that Kaka failed to grab points.

Valdés was startled into a cold sweat at the beginning of the game, but the old captain Puyol was in front of him, and it was impossible for the captain to blame him. Since it wasn't the captain's fault, he glared at Pique, who couldn't defend in time.

Spain's third national goal choice is one of the most suitable goalkeepers for Barcelona in today's football. He has played well this season.

Pique felt wronged, because the one defending Ronaldo was not him, it was clearly Sylvinho!

Sylvinho used to be an excellent guard with a knife. He was not young when he joined Barcelona. His speed and reaction were worse than before. He was eaten raw by Ronaldo at the beginning of the game, which also made him grow old. emotion.

It's a pity that Cristiano didn't score.But Manchester United got a corner, Kaka standing in front of the corner.

Kaka took a look and took a corner kick to find Cristiano. Pique made a header to clear the siege, but the ball landed at the feet of Scholes who was going forward. Goalpost out of bounds.

Manchester United took a corner kick again, this time the ball fell to Benzema's feet, but Benzema couldn't find a good angle in the penalty area, and the ball was caught by Yaya.Toure made a clearance.

In this game, Guardiola put the versatile Yaya.Toure was placed in the backcourt and became a trailing central defender, while captain Puyol was the core of the defense.

At the beginning of the game, they were beaten by Manchester United. All the Barcelona fans held their chests and hadn't recovered.

Iniesta passed the ball to Eto'o, and when the African Cheetah was about to break through, Scholes, who returned to the defense first, made a decisive tackle.

Eto'o immediately fell to the ground, but the referee Busacca did not blow his whistle.

In the 15 minutes of the first half, the overall situation was favorable to Manchester United, but Arthur did not relax.

Guardiola has a famous saying in the future: "My teacher, did not teach me to defend and counterattack."

But in Arthur's view, Barcelona is one of the teams that are best at defensive counterattacks today, although they may prefer to call it "total defense".

Although it seems that they have the upper hand in this game, it is not a good thing to only blossom and not bear fruit.

Barcelona actually did a good job defensively. Players seldom lost their positions. This kind of high-position counter-robbing ability made them lose on the scene, but did not cause substantial losses.

And once the opportunity came to their feet, the oppression brought by Barcelona also caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United.

It's not a smooth start, Arthur thought, looking to Ferguson.

His BOSS was also sitting in the coach bench chewing gum, looking down at his watch, and then he walked out and made a gesture.

Guardiola hadn't reacted at first, and after a few minutes, Kaka broke through Puyol and Yaya.Toure, he knew what Ferguson did—

Rotate Raiders!

Since Kaka joined Manchester United this season, he has really undergone a transformation, but he has not turned to the organization. He plays the role of a false No. 9. A Brazilian with a big height and good shooting skills, he can occasionally play as a center forward.

When there were bunkers in front of him, he delivered shells for them.And once he sees an opportunity, he's just as happy to keep the ball at his feet and move forward.When the teammates in front can't open the situation and pass the ball back to him, he is the hub connecting the midfield and the backcourt.

How to "pinch" off his hub has troubled Guardiola for a long time.

As a result, there was no lack of tactics and preparations. Once the Brazilian has space and the ball is at his feet, he can run at full speed and pose a huge threat to their goal.

Kaka moved forward more, which was a signal that Manchester United still wanted to attack, but this signal did not change the fundamental strategy of Manchester United, because the Brazilians were not aggressive.

He is not alone, Cristiano and Benzema cooperate very well with him.

Guardiola looked at the statistics, and the three of them had more than 20 shots in the first 12 minutes of the game. Counting Scholes' time, it was already 13 times!

After another corner kick, Manchester United's unfavorable corner kick tactics this season still failed to open the scoring for the team.

It was Harvey who went straight to Eto'o. The African cheetahs who had missed the opportunity before seized the opportunity. He faced Vidic again and successfully broke through the Serbian and scored a crucial goal!

At the moment of the goal, the camera was immediately given to Ferguson, but Ferguson seemed unmoved. He didn't even get up from the bench.

Ferdinand patted his old buddy, Vidic smiled wryly.

Scholes felt that his luck was a bit bad today. After discussing with Carrick and Kaka, he decided to slow down the pace, and continue to attack if he can't attack for a long time, which may cause negative consequences.

Manchester United's offensive slowed down, and more opportunities came to the Barcelona players.

In the 37th minute, in order to prevent Cristiano Ronaldo from fouling Pique, the Swiss referee Busacca gave the first yellow card of the game.

In the 43rd minute, Messi made a cold shot from the right, and the ball flew out of the bottom line against the crossbar.

Xavi took the corner and was cleared by Ferdinand with a beautiful scorpion tail.

In the 46th minute, Messi moved around in the outflanking of Evra, Ferdinand, Carrick, and Benzema, shot coldly from a small angle, and Van der Sar flew to save and hug the ball.

Rooney, who was on the bench at this moment, broke out in a cold sweat. It's easy to say that they were behind. After all, they were unlucky. In the second half, they changed their positions and changed their feng shui. Maybe luck will come.

But if you are two behind, it will be difficult to catch up.

But this is also Manchester United. Van der Sar scolded his teammates directly, then dragged on for time, and Manchester United directly launched a fast break.

This was their last chance to attack before halftime.

Cristiano cut in from the right, knocked the ball to Kaka, and Kaka passed the ball back to him. The two played two consecutive ones, and they have reached the penalty area of ​​Barcelona!

Just when Valdés thought that Cristiano was going to shoot, the Portuguese passed the ball to Benzema at the back point. Benzema jumped high. Although he was not as good as Cristiano's bounce, he had height!Waiting for the ball to land on his head, he dive-bombed the ball over the goal line, bounced off the ground and leaked behind Valdez's armpit.

Barcelona 1:1 Manchester United!

The referee blew the whistle for the end of halftime.

The moment the score was rewritten, the fans of Manchester United erupted into loud shouts. They released the joy brought by the goal to their hearts' content, and the Manchester United bench was already cheering!

After scoring the goal, Benzema immediately staged a machine-gun fire action, but this time he was not aiming at the Manchester United fans, but the bench.

Rooney pulled Arthur in coordination and made a backward movement, which made the French very proud.

Cristiano gave him a high five, and then discussed their cooperation with Kaka. Ferdinand did not immediately go to the dressing room, he gave Arthur the captain's armband.

"Gary must envy me." Ferdinand said proudly.

Arthur smiled.

He saw Puyol walking towards the player tunnel. If Barcelona has a team spirit, this person is undoubtedly Puyol.

After returning to the locker room, Ferguson made targeted adjustments.

Ferguson was in no hurry.

In the first half, there were only flowers but no results. It was a bit of luck, and their tactical choice was correct. Of course, the defense did not perform well today. Barcelona didn’t have many opportunities, but as long as they caught them, it would be fatal. !

At the beginning of the second half, the fourth official played a substitution card, Carrick was replaced and Arthur came on.
