Chapter 960

Only two minutes later, Ferdinand replaced Smalling.

There was a big round of applause in the stands for Ferdinand and for Smalling.

For smarin, Manchester United fans have endured enough. If they are Real Madrid fans, they will probably hiss at him.

Although Ferdinand has not played for a long time, with him playing with Vidic, the hearts of Manchester United players immediately settled down.

Before that, Manchester United's front court players had problems in attack. The main reason was that they had too much lead and less desire to attack. In addition, the back line was unstable, and the midfield players did not dare to press on easily. Once they lost the ball, they did not fight back from a high position on the spot. Instead, they rushed back to help the centre back defend.

In this case, it's hard to play what a high quality attack.

Now that Ferdinand is back, no matter how he plays, the security that he and Vidic bring to his teammates is unmatched by Smalling, Evans, O'Shea and others.

Nani, Giggs and Gao Xiaodong are all free to attack, which is a great threat to any team in the world.

Schalke 04 is a very good team in attack, but their defense is not so good, otherwise they would not have lost so many goals in the first half. At the moment, Manchester United eased their breath to attack hard, and Schalke 04's defense could not resist.

In the 79th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong made a breakthrough in the middle, Valencia passed the ball from the bottom, centre back hervedes headed the ball out, and veteran Giggs snatched the landing point and quickly led the ball to the rib of the restricted area.

Shalke 04's back and centre back quickly came to block, but Giggs's sudden attack with the ball was just a feint, just to pull out the players in the middle. Before shalke 04's players arrived, he skillfully knocked the ball to Gao Xiaodong.

At the moment, the number of middle defenders of Schalke 04 is reduced, and Gao Xiaodong immediately finds the space to shoot. The ball rolls over and he quickly follows, pushing the ball to the lower right corner of the goal with the arch of his right foot.

Gao Xiaodong's shot is mainly a powerful volley. There are few skillful shots with this angle. However, shalke 04's goalkeeper Noel is very quick. Gao Xiaodong's shot is very small and his sharp angle shot is quickly knocked down by him with his fingertips, and the ball bounces out on the post.

Gao Xiaodong saw the ball passing through the crowd and thought it was ready to celebrate. Unexpectedly, Noel even touched the ball. He shook his head and gave Noel a thumbs up.

Noel saw Gao Xiaodong give him a thumbs up. He shook his fist at Gao Xiaodong and was relieved. In the first half, he lost four goals in a row. Although it wasn't all his fault, the goalkeeper must be responsible for being pierced four times. Now he saves Gao Xiaodong's goal and is in a better mood.

Manchester United got the chance of corner. Giggs sent the corner. Ferdinand and Vidic came to the penalty area to fight for the top. The ball passed to the penalty area. Ferdinand accurately judged the spot of Giggs' pass. He jumped high and headed to the middle of the goal with a powerful header.

Ferdinand doesn't have time to choose the angle, but his position is on the line of the small penalty area, too close to the goal, so it's hard for the goalkeeper to have time to react.

However, after saving Gao Xiaodong's shot, Neuer's state came up. Facing Ferdinand's close range header, he subconsciously put out his hand to block the ball.

However, with such a short distance, noyle only had time to block it with his arm. He didn't have time to work, and the ball didn't fly far away, so he bounced back into the small restricted area.

Vidic is the closest to the ball between the offensive and defensive players. He followed and stabbed the ball to the left side of the goal.

Vidic's shot was closer to the goal, but noyle was like opening the hook. He almost made a big fork and stabbed the ball out of the goal line with his toes.

Neuer saved the goal for three times in a row, and all the Manchester United fans were impressed. In addition to the cheers of the German fans, there were also the sighs and praises of the Manchester United fans.

In the VIP box, shalke 04 manager Tunis said to Manchester United manager David Gill with a smile: "David, is Neuer worth 30 million now?"

David Gill was stunned. With an incredible look on his face, he said: "it's worth it. The performance in this half, it's absolutely worth it "I suddenly realized that it was not right to say so, and quickly said:" I'm sorry But the most important thing for goalkeepers is stability

Tunis smiles and doesn't speak. Neuer already has a superstar like Schalke 04, but he won't accept any bargaining. There are plenty of teams who want Neuer.

Manchester United continued to corner, this time Schalke 04's defense was in place, the ball was pushed out by the defender, and the top to the foot of Farfan, launched a quick counterattack.

Schalke 04 is now 2-4 behind. If he can score another goal, even if he lost 3-4 in the end, he almost won. Therefore, after he got the chance to fight back, except for the two centre backs, all the others rushed forward.

However, Manchester United's back defense speed is also very fast. Valencia was in place for the first time. He put out his foot to interfere before drakesler's Cross. Drakesler's pass deviated, and Ferdinand broke the ball before Raul.Gao Xiaodong is also back in place. He quickly grabbed Ferdinand's free kick, turned around and looked at the front court. His teammates are back in defense, and Rooney is back. What he left in the front court is veteran Giggs.

However, it's also good. Giggs's player is very experienced. Gao Xiaodong gives the ball to Giggs for a long pass to avoid the opponent's encirclement and attack quickly.

Giggs has no one to close down, and there is a lot of space in the front court. If he was young, he would have hit the Yellow Dragon by himself, but now he is so old that he has no ability to rush with the ball. He also has self-knowledge. After receiving the ball, he will take it along the side road and observe the running position of his teammates.

Gao Xiaodong's forward speed is very fast, which has surpassed Rooney's, but Schalke 04's players also defend him very well. There are always players blocking between him and Giggs, not giving Gao Xiaodong and Giggs the chance to connect.

Giggs has rich experience. He can't pass this point. After seeing the opponent blocking, he directly passed it back to Evra.

Evra is a French international. At his peak, he was also one of the top five full backs in the world. Now he is old and his assists are not good, but his vision and consciousness are still there. When he sees Gao Xiaodong in front of him, he gives him a straight kick.

Schalke 04's two centre backs have been staring at Gao Xiaodong. When Evra passed the ball, matip quickly grabbed it and even fouled it to block United's counterattack.

If Gao Xiaodong insists on holding the ball, he can't avoid it. Even if he can pass, he can't prevent the opponent from fouls.

Gao Xiaodong doesn't want to turn a valuable counter attack opportunity into a free kick in the 30 meter area, but his super glasses help him. Gao Xiaodong "sees" Wayne Rooney, who is fast following behind the side. When the ball comes in front of him, Gao Xiaodong doesn't touch the ball, leaks the ball, and turns to dodge matip.
