Chapter 1198

Benfica couldn't accept the result of losing at home. After Gao Xiaodong's goal, Benfica fought back and tried to level the score.

Gao Xiaodong returns to the back midfield position. With the help of him and Fletcher, the shortcomings of speed and experience of centre backs Smalling and Evans are covered up, and the advantages of height and confrontation are fully displayed. Benfica has nothing to do with Manchester United's defense.

After 80 minutes of the game, Benfica used up three substitution places and tried to break United's defence with the advantage of the number of players.

Manchester United are an experienced team and the more dangerous the situation is, the more calm they are.

United are fighting Benfica's frenzied attack while looking for opportunities to fight back.

In the 85th minute of the game, Benfica made a wrong pass in the front court and the ball was snatched by Fletcher. Fletcher passed it to Gao Xiaodong, who kicked the ball directly behind Benfica's defence without stopping.

After a season of running in, Rooney and Gao Xiaodong have a deep understanding. When Fletcher passes the ball to Gao Xiaodong, Rooney starts to start. When Gao Xiaodong passes the ball, Rooney speeds up and runs through Benfica's two centre backs, forming a single chance to go to the meeting.

Goalkeeper Artur made a quick attack and wanted to attack Rooney's foot, but Rooney didn't wait for him to come forward and shoot directly, and the ball rolled into the goal from Artur's foot.

3: 1

Wayne Rooney's one-sided presence at the meeting has sealed the victory for Manchester United.

After Rooney scored, Benfica became angry and had no scruples. There was no difference between losing three and four. The attack was more crazy.

After United took the lead with two goals, Benfica, who wanted to exhaust the last few minutes, pulled back a goal in stoppage time.

Benfica's morale was boosted, while Manchester United were a little flustered. In the last two minutes of stoppage time, Benfica also got two good shooting opportunities, but they all fired anti-aircraft guns.

Fortunately, there was no time left. In the end, Manchester United beat Benfica 3-2 away to win the Champions League.

Although Benfica lost the game, but only lost a goal, and there is a chance to draw in the end, it is still proud of losing.

After the game, Benfica's forward Cardoso exchanged his shirt with Gao Xiaodong, while Hernandez exchanged his shirt with Aimar.

Benfica midfield core Aimar accepted the reporter's live interview.

Aimar said that although the result is disappointing, it is not unacceptable. Manchester United have always been the best team in the world. They are sure to get one qualification. Benfica's goal is to get another qualification.

Aimar also specifically talked about Giggs and Gao Xiaodong. Aimar said that Giggs is a model for all professional players and it is absolutely a miracle that he can score in the Champions League at this age.

Aimar said that Gao Xiaodong is the soul of Manchester United and dominates today's game. Aimar even said that Gao Xiaodong really reminds him of Argentina's hero Maradona.

Gao Xiaodong also accepted the reporter's interview.

Gao Xiaodong said he didn't expect the match to be so difficult. Maybe they underestimated the opponents of the group before the match and thought it was too easy for the group to qualify.

Gao Xiaodong thinks the process may not be good-looking, but the result is satisfactory. Benfica is Manchester United's biggest opponent. It is very important for Manchester United to get three points away from home.

For his performance, Gao Xiaodong just played a passing point. He thought that although he scored a goal and had an assist, the team's advantage on the scene was not outstanding. He thought it was his failure to do well.

in the end, Gao Xiaodong also expressed his regret that Yu Debao was not able to play. He hopes to play the Chinese Derby in the next game in Manchester.

Gao Xiaodong, who scored one goal to assist one, said that his performance was not good enough. Manchester United coach Ferguson and his disciples shared the same feeling. He also said in the post match press conference that he did not pay enough attention to this game, that his tactics were not targeted, and that the players did not play well if they did not lose.

After that, Ferguson said that Benfica is the strongest opponent in the group, and the latter two opponents are not as strong as Benfica. If they can win Benfica away from home, Manchester United will take the initiative to be the first in the group, which is very beneficial to Manchester United.

After the game, Benfica's coach, rezus, stressed that they have a chance to get a point. Unfortunately, time is not enough. However, rezus thinks Benfica has gained confidence through this game and they are fully capable of getting a qualification.

United's general did not take the other two opponents in the group seriously, but Benfica could not ignore them.

Another match of the group, Basel Switzerland beat Galatz Romania 2-1 at home, making Basel second in the group.

Gesus thinks that Basel and gallats are not weak. They are Benfica's biggest rivals. He can lose to Manchester United, but he must defeat Basel and gallats.

At the end of the second day of the first round of the group match of the Champions League, except for Inter's home defeat by TRAb, the rest were clear and calm.Although the match between Manchester United and Benfica was not good-looking, they won after all. They are still the most optimistic team of the gambling companies and the media, and they are the most popular team to win the championship.

Barcelona, another favorite to win the championship, was drawn by Milan at home, which was the only team of the big powers that did not win except Inter. However, because the opponent was Milan, they were also favored by the outside world.

Both Chelsea and Bayern have a steady performance in this round. They beat their opponents with two goals. Their strength is not as good as that of Manchester United and Barcelona. However, they definitely have the strength to fight for the championship. In cup matches like the Champions League, the hot things often happen, so they are also the favourites to win the championship.

Manchester United don't have time to stay in this beautiful city after their game with Benfica, because they will face Chelsea at home in three days.

If Barcelona is Manchester United's arch rival in the Champions League, then their biggest opponent in the league is Chelsea. The game against Chelsea can be called a six point game, and from the perspective of attacking opponents' morale, it is more significant than six points. ,

Manchester United will return to Manchester on the second day. After the game, Gao Xiaodong asked Ferguson for a leave to visit Yang Fan, Yu Debao and Hulk when other players rest in the hotel.

Gao Xiaodong was born in the Portuguese Super League. He has many friends here, and Ferguson can understand him. He granted Gao Xiaodong a holiday, but told him not to drink and to come back early.

Yang Fan, Yu Debao, Hu Erke and others have already found a hotel to wait for Gao Xiaodong to have a snack. When Gao Xiaodong arrived, everyone was very excited and came to hug Gao Xiaodong one after another to express their parting feelings.

Hulk and other Porto players came after the game. Although Porto and Lisbon are not far away, the friendship also moved Gao Xiaodong.

Although Ferguson told Gao Xiaodong not to drink, Gao Xiaodong still drank a few bottles of beer with his friends and teammates and didn't return to the hotel until 1 a.m.

When Gao Xiaodong went back, Ferguson had not gone to bed and had been waiting for Gao Xiaodong. Although Ferguson was a little angry, he did not criticize Gao Xiaodong. He just let Gao Xiaodong rest early.

Gao Xiaodong was ashamed and embarrassed to explain anything. He told Ferguson to go to bed early and went back to his room with his head down.
