The Jazz confiscated Cristiano's cell phone and directly removed the battery. Cristiano honestly dared not speak.

Manchester United's Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona began on what appeared to be a very ordinary night - no rain, no high winds, no late night, no early night, all trying to disguise the night as one Most ordinary night in history.

But whether it was Maradona who came all the way, or the unprecedentedly crowded media area on the sidelines, the world did not really believe that this was just an ordinary night in Manchester - everyone was waiting to see the two How Ronaldo and Messi, who created the miraculous scene of scoring goals at the same time unprecedented in the history of the Champions League, faced off.

The lights are already in place, and the stage is about to open.

At 19:45, the referee blew the whistle for the game on time.

Manchester United kicked off first.

Leo showed his ambition from the first minute. Just as Neville drove the ball across the center line, Leo suddenly rushed out from the oblique side. Using his own impact strength combined with his own weight, he was completely blind. Neville, who was defensive, was knocked into a momentary instability-and for a player like Leo, a momentary mistake by the opponent is enough.

In the two seconds after the ball left Neville's control, Leo pulled the ball out of Neville's feet by two or three centimeters, and then passed it to the retreating counter. Harvey is offside.

If it weren't for the gaffe, the Jazz almost wanted to scream.

Harvey took the ball and dribbled the ball directly to the penalty area-Eto'o and Henry started to accelerate and rushed to the penalty area to receive the ball.

At this time, Harvey chose Leo who inserted from behind the center line and came to the side of the penalty area along the sideline-Harvey passed behind Leo, and Leo turned around to get the ball as expected.

Collision—Leo and Cristiano, who came out of nowhere, collided and leaned back almost at the same time.At this time, Ferdinand rushed to the position according to Cristiano's previous hint, took the ball before the rest of Barcelona caught up, quickly turned around and passed the ball directly to Rooney in the frontcourt.

Neither Ferdinand nor Xavi, who had just passed the ball, thought for a while why Cristiano seemed to know that he and Leo would collide.

Manchester United didn't hold the ball for a long time in the frontcourt. Zambrotta quickly caught Rooney's slight mistake in strength when he passed the ball back to Scholes, and directly destroyed the ball out of the baseline.

United still had the ball - Rooney flicked the ball out again, but this time he gave it to Cristiano who came in from the back.

However, Barcelona in the first half was likely inspired by the previous Arsenal-Barcelona also adopted an impressive human sea tactic against Cristiano.When Cristiano won the ball, Puyol and another defender Abidal had come over to hold positions beside and in front of Cristiano respectively, driving Cristiano to the sideline.

At the same time, Iniesta retreated to the backcourt to try to block Cristiano's return pass.

Cristiano is in a dilemma.

Cristiano moved left and right in a small space trying to shake Puyol and Abidal away-but this obviously didn't help much, after all, when Puyol and Abidal were recruited, Leo once again from this Fang withdrew from the backcourt and accurately appeared on the only channel in front of Cristiano.

Leo and Cristiano face off.

——Jazz and Maradona in the stands held their breath at the same time, watching the scene in front of them quietly.

Leo's left ankle suddenly twisted outwards, Cristiano's left ankle suddenly twisted outwards.

Cristiano realized in an instant that his fake action had been seen through. He stopped almost at the same time, suddenly closed his right foot to his left foot, and at the same time tried to quickly move the ball to the right to find Scholes in the middle. .

Leo was also aware of Cristiano's "perception". He grasped the center of gravity with his left foot to stand firm, and at the same time stretched his right foot forward, and blocked the ball with his right foot at the moment when Cristiano's instep was about to touch the ball.

——There is like a clear mirror between them. They stand on both sides of the mirror and do almost exactly the same movements, and then they almost suspect that the person opposite them is not another person, but just that they have been lost since birth. shadow.

Leo has been looking for his shadow for 15 years, but Cristiano has been looking for almost 50 years.

Iniesta reacted quickly. He immediately inserted from behind, turned quickly to space Scholes who was coming to fight for the ball, and quickly sent the ball to the other side before he was knocked away by Scholes. Harvey who came to meet him.

The game came to No. 13 minutes, Harvey hit the ball to the frontcourt, and Henry took the ball in the frontcourt and broke through directly from the middle.

Neville and Evra converged from both sides to the middle, Van der Sar held the position in front of the goal and did not attack easily-Henry was brought down by Evra in front of the penalty area and got a free kick in front of the penalty area for Barcelona.

This free kick is too positive, but it's not bad.

Manchester United all recovered and arranged the human wall.

Rio walked to the ball, and Cristiano's eyebrows twitched unconsciously-he didn't know when the "before" Messi established his free kick order in Barcelona, ​​but now look at Puyo According to our attitude, Messi should have legalized this order very early.

Leo seldom does useless things on the field, but today he looked at Ronaldo who was standing in the middle of the crowd with a vigilant face. For some reason, he seemed to suddenly become interested-he raised his right index finger and shook it in front of his eyes. It seems to be doing some mathematical measurement and estimation compared to the position of the human wall.

In the end, his finger stopped on the position aimed at Ronaldo, and he seemed to tell everyone that he was going to break the Manchester United goal from that position.

Puyol doesn't feel that he is the eldest son he owed to him now, he just wants to rush over and kill Leo - young people, don't make meaningless provocations on the court, especially when you are in the semi-finals of the Champions League when.Puyol wanted to print it out and stick it on Leo's wardrobe.

——"Leo is a strange child." Maradona said to his daughter Giannina, who accompanied him to watch the game, "He used to give me the impression that he was clearly an introverted child. I thought he would not be provocative. "

Giannina looked at her newly-made nails and answered casually, "Maybe you got it wrong, after all, you haven't seen him a few times."

Maradona shook his head in disapproval, "Honey, you know me, I never misread a player, especially a player I want to take a good look at - Leo is not that kind of player, he never Too aggressive on the pitch. To be precise, he was never aggressive anywhere, and when he got angry, he was silent. I'm confident in that."

Giannina shrugged and said sarcastically, "You're always confident, Dad, and you never admit you were wrong."

If someone else said something like this, Maradona would definitely be very angry, but now it is Giannina who said it.So Maradona just smiled and shook his head, "No, boy, if he behaves differently than what I see, it proves that he thinks no one else deserves him to be aggressive."

"Then who deserves it? Ronaldo?" Giannina asked casually.

"Of course, otherwise who else?" Maradona looked very happy, "I have to say that the boy Leo is smarter than I thought."

"Oh?"

"He knew exactly what he was supposed to do - he set himself up a good comparison. I would say, he should, because no one else really deserves to be compared to him. Seriously, I've always regretted it , although Ronaldo is a very good boy, but he is not very good at "deliberate", he focuses on what is in front of him, he is always full of emotions and fighting spirit - which is of course very good, which is what I love about him.But in fact, Leo has just that part of the advantages that he doesn't have-although Leo is always silent and introverted to the point of being unflattering, he is good at "deep thinking". "

Giannina wanted to ask what this meant, but Maradona excitedly pressed his finger on his lips at this time to signal Giannina to be quiet.

——At the same time, on the field, the referee stood up and signaled that a free kick could be taken.

Leo took a step back suddenly.

But the free kick neither flew over anyone's head nor under anyone's feet - Leo took a step back and then slammed the ball sideways to Iniesta who was standing at his own level.

That was a tactical routine.

Almost all Manchester United players rushed to Iniesta's side, trying to defend his surroundings as quickly and orderly as possible.There was almost nothing in front of Leo.

——Messi rarely does useless things on the court, and Messi seldom wastes his promises.So if he stops his finger in the direction of Cristiano, it means that he is going to score from Cristiano: either a free kick directly to the goal, or a tactical cooperation.

But it had to be Messi himself because he wanted to beat Manchester United and Ronaldo himself.

But Cristiano came to Leo at that moment to fill in the vacancy, squeezed in front of Leo the moment Iniesta passed the ball, and destroyed the ball out of the sideline first.

"I want to defeat you myself, not by anyone else."

While Barcelona was waiting for a throw-in, Leo heard Ronaldo whispering this in his ear.

——"I will defeat you myself, not by hand."

Leo remembers clearly that this was the last text message he sent to Ronaldo yesterday.
