It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 114
Barcelona throw-in.

Harvey took the initiative to walk out of bounds and picked up the ball thrown to him by the caddy.

At this time, Charles, Messi and Busquets all ran not far in front of him.

Xavi took another look, and finally exerted strength from his waist and abdomen, throwing the ball hard.

Charles, who was originally standing in front of O'Shea, jumped out from his side like a rabbit, jumped slightly, and stopped the ball with his chest. Just as Carrick turned and stretched out his foot to kick the ball away while it was still in the air, Charles immediately stretched out his foot, and the ball hit Charles' calf and bounced again, directly making Carrick's plan fail.

Just as Charles caught up with the ball and stretched his foot to stop it, Carrick O'Shea caught up again in the blink of an eye.

At this critical moment, Charles shook his ankle and sent the ball away from Manchester United's encirclement again.

Ferguson watched O'Shea chasing the ball, but just as Pique caught up with the ball again, Pique kicked the ball and it flew through the air again and returned to Charles' arms like a fledgling swallow flying into the forest. Ferguson couldn't help but sigh.

Ever since Barcelona scored a goal, they kept controlling the ball near the midfield and Manchester United couldn't get it away at all.

He could see that every Red Devil on the field was trying their best to defend the Champions League and create a Manchester United dynasty.

But now the first half is about to end and Manchester United is still three goals behind.

Although one thing he has been doing all his life is to dethrone Liverpool from the Premier League throne, the miracle they created on that night in Istanbul is called a miracle because it is almost impossible to replicate.

Even though he has led Manchester United to the pinnacle of honor and his physical condition is not suitable for continuing to sit on Manchester United's coaching bench, he still does not want to leave.

Whether what follows is more honors or unexpected failure.

Time is unforgiving, and he has never forgiven time.

If a person lives according to his heart, he will either become a madman or a legend.

Obviously, Ferguson is the latter.

The players on the field were still conducting attack and defense drills. Charles passed the ball back to Messi. Messi turned around and dribbled the ball. Facing Vidic's pressure, Messi passed the ball to Xavi again.

But Xavi had just stopped the ball and faced with the pressure from Evra and Anderson, he could only turn around to protect the ball. As the two men's interception became more and more intense, Xavi simply kicked the ball out of bounds.

The referee also blew the whistle for the half-time break.

"Perhaps Ferguson wanted to put the game on a level playing field and he hoped that Manchester United could beat Barcelona by playing to their strengths."

"If I were to make an analogy, this is like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when two countries went to war, they agreed on a time and place, rather than launching a surprise attack."

"Although the starting point is good, from the perspective of game strategy, whether this method is in line with the characteristics of the current Manchester United and whether it is the correct deployment against the opponent is worth discussing."

"In fact, as early as the semi-final, Chelsea provided Ferguson with a battle strategy for the match against Barcelona - to restrict the opponent."

"That game showed people that Barcelona, ​​which has strong attacking power, could also be suppressed, but Ferguson had different ideas. He wanted Manchester United to show their characteristics in attack."

"Barcelona have shown a huge advantage in La Liga this season. They are simply playing a different kind of football."

"If they give Barcelona too much freedom and they use their creativity, Manchester United will be defeated."

【Charlotte Bar】

"Other people's boyfriends are in college at the age of 19, but mine is playing football."

"You would rather believe that it was your boyfriend than believe that Charles might win the Champions League at the age of 19."

"I'm different. Other people's boyfriends either pursue academic qualifications, careers, and money to get civil service exams, graduate school entrance exams, or roast sweet potatoes. My boyfriend thinks about immortality every day."

"You would rather believe that Charles is your boyfriend than that he is Qin Shi Huang?"

"Damn, how can you be so angry just watching a game? It's just the fans taking off their clothes to celebrate."

"Will sterilization make me more stable? I feel like I'm emotionally unstable."

"Your idea is very bold."

"Come, repeat after me, emptiness is form, form is emptiness."

"Let me prove that what the above said makes sense. Everyone knows Ohm's theorem, V=IR, so multiplying both sides by A, we get AV=AIR. So, color (porn) is air (air)."

"6666."

"After all these years, the English and physics I learned are finally useful."

"Charles' legs are so thick."

"You are envious of anything thick now, right?"

……

Charles wiped the sweat off his forehead and walked into the locker room with his teammates.

"It was the first time I met a Korean starting player in a Champions League match."

Messi sat in his seat, "This is really amazing."

"Aren't they all players? What's so magical about it?"

Ciel also sat down in his seat and started taking off his shoes.

Messi's mouth curled up slightly, "Well, how should I put it, a Korean expert said I was Korean before, if I was not Korean, I would believe them."

Harvey almost spit out a mouthful of water when he heard this, "Ahem, ahem, I don't see any similarities between you and Koreans except that you both have black hair."

"Haven't you ever come across news like this?" Charles took off his shoes and took a breath. "I've seen news like this before. At the time, I almost thought South Korea was a province of China."

"Before, I saw a professor in South Korea texting international students. Compared with ours, it's on par."

Henry also leaned over at this time, "What text message?"

Seeing everyone's interest, Charles thought about it for a moment and continued, "During the doctoral dissertation review, a Korean professor who was a judge asked a married Chinese student to call him the emperor, and he called the student a palace maid."

"His text message was something like, 'Maid, if I want to feel better, I have to ask you to serve me. Please serve me tonight. Since you have no choice, I, the emperor, have made the decision.'"

"Something like 'I want to meet a beautiful and clever lady of the court. Let's meet in the moonlight on a dark night. Accept my kiss and goodnight.'"

Puyol looked incredulous, "And then?"

"After the student refused, the professor threatened her by hinting that her thesis would not be accepted. Moreover, after investigation, it was found that the professor not only sexually harassed the student, but also forced the student to send him greeting text messages and once asked the student to pay him 202 euros (about 1513 yuan) for a meal."

Pique opened his mouth wide, "It's amazing..." "But I still think it's more amazing that Charles and Messi are both Korean," Henry also sighed, "Tsk tsk tsk——"

Guardiola walked in and closed the door of the locker room. "Put the Koreans aside for now. The important thing now is the Manchester United players."

"Now, we are leading by three goals. When I saw this scene, I couldn't believe it was real."

Guardiola stood in the middle of the locker room and looked around at all the players.

"But this doesn't mean we can't take it seriously or slack off. I hope everyone will give me 100% in the next games."

"Now, everyone feels that we are only 45 minutes away from lifting the Champions League trophy."

"Milan felt the same way back then."

"I don't want to see or hear people say 'what if' in the future, in everyone's memories, or in everyone's mouths."

"If I had taken one more step in the 2009 Champions League final..."

"If I had been more focused in the 2009 Champions League final..."

"If I had blocked that ball in the 2009 Champions League final..."

"Rather than dwelling on the painful memories later, I hope that everyone can remember this incident by the fire and proudly say to their children: I beat Manchester United in 2009 and won the Champions League trophy."

“If a person has his own beliefs, then no matter who he works with, his beliefs will not depreciate; if he has no beliefs, then no matter what team he joins, he is just a member of the vast crowd and will drift with the crowd for the rest of his life.”

“Football is a team game.”

"I don't know why people choose football. It may be because of the pure love for football, or it may be natural, because they happen to be good at football and can support themselves and their families with football; or it may be for other fame, honor or wealth."

"No matter what the reason and purpose is, we are finally together now."

"We went all the way from the Champions League group stage to the final, flying from Barcelona to Rome."

"It proves that we are the best team in the world - if we beat Manchester United."

“Success does not require apologies, and failure does not allow excuses. Now that we have come to Rome, the only thing we need to do here is:”

"I come, I see, I conquer!"

At this time Puyol stood up and held the captain's armband high in his hand.

"Forca Barca!"

As soon as Puyol finished speaking, there was a huge response in the locker room.

"Forca Barca——"

Seeing the players' high spirits, Guardiola nodded with satisfaction, pulled the whiteboard over, and began to explain the tactics.

Sometimes, when the strength of both teams is similar in a game, in addition to tactical arrangements that will affect the outcome of the game, the bigger factor is the players' mentality and morale.

Of course he knew that he had fed the players chicken soup before the game, which moved them too much and led to their not-so-good performance after the start, but he was more afraid that in the following games, the players would become complacent and ultimately suffer a crushing defeat.

If there was no hope of winning the game or the championship, he could tolerate failure.

"Without Fletcher, the three midfielders of Giggs, Anderson and Carrick are not in harmony, so we have to seize this opportunity..."

"Giggs was almost never in position during the game. Charles has already contained Carrick, the first line of defence, very well. He doesn't have the energy to deal with Xavi at this time, so we..."

"Anderson's protection for him was not strong enough, so they couldn't hold the ball in the midfield. Carrick would often make a long pass directly to the front court. At this time, we had to create an offside trap for Ronaldo."

"This is the key point. Rooney is too rigid in his positioning, Park Ji-sung has not found the feeling of the semi-finals, and Manchester United's attack basically depends on Carrick's long pass to find Ronaldo. As long as we can eliminate this point..."

"Leo, Charles, Xavi, the three of you should cooperate more and handle the small balls in the midfield."

"At the same time, since Ciel has a heavy task in containing Carrick, you should help Ciel share the pressure."

Everyone nodded.

It's not that they don't know this. What Guardiola has done is like a teacher before the college entrance examination, emphasizing the key points to everyone at the end.

"Okay, I won't say more, you all know what I mean. Just take a good rest and wait until the second half to give Manchester United one runner-up trophy after another."

Time passed like flowing water, and the players of Barcelona and Manchester United walked out of the locker room one by one and returned to the field to wait for the kick-off.

Manchester United made a substitution at the start of the game.

Ferguson decisively replaced Anderson with Tevez, and Manchester United changed its formation accordingly. Tevez and Ronaldo were in the front, Park Ji-sung moved to the left, and Rooney changed to right midfielder.

But it was useless. At the beginning of the game, Barcelona still suppressed Manchester United throughout the game.

After Manchester United kicked off, the ball returned to Vidic's feet again.

Under the pressure of the Barcelona forward, the ball was passed back and forth between the feet of the Manchester United defenders, and finally Evra kicked the ball to the midfield again. However, Tevez had just received the ball when he was pressed by Yaya Toure.

Tevez turned around and passed the ball to Park Ji-sung while being entangled with Yaya Toure. Park Ji-sung dribbled the ball frantically in front of Eto'o, but before he could shake off Eto'o, Barcelona's iron-blooded curly-haired captain appeared in front of him with an expressionless face not far in front of him.

Park Ji-sung had just dribbled the ball out when Curly made a smooth sliding tackle, aiming at the ball and clearing it out of bounds.

Less than half a minute into the game, Manchester United's attack was once again resolved.

Manchester United throw-in.

Park Ji-sung had just picked up the ball when he saw Tevez coming over, so he handed the ball to him and walked into the field.

Tevez picked up the ball, took a look at it, then threw it hard to Park Ji-sung.

Park Ji-sung kicked the ball.

The ball passed directly between Xavi and Busquets, and Ronaldo quickly inserted from behind, but unexpectedly Park Ji-sung's pass was wrong. Just before Ronaldo was about to receive the ball, the ball magically drifted and turned and landed at Charles' feet.

Ronaldo turned around immediately, but when he just stretched out his foot, Charles pushed the ball with his left foot and passed it to Busquets.

Ronaldo gritted his teeth and saw the ball being transferred again. He did not give up, but chased after it again.

As long as the game is not over, no matter how many goals behind, he is willing to fight to the last minute!
Looking at the data, it seems that no one likes to watch the game (it’s amazing, sports novels don’t like to watch the game), so I would like to ask everyone if they want to speed up the pace of the game. I won’t write about the next game in detail.
