Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

However, in order to prevent Van Nistelrooy from thinking that he was really the most important striker in the team, Ferguson made a tactical adjustment, having Van Nistelrooy drop back and giving Ronaldo the final shot-taking rights.

But who knew... Van Nistelrooy's retreat was commonplace, and Ronaldo, who lived in the penalty area, was also an angel with broken wings.

As he looked at the Manchester United fans who were unhappy with him, Ronaldo's gaze gradually turned cold.

28th minute.

Cristiano Ronaldo immediately retreated from inside the penalty area to near his own center circle!

It's located deeper than Scholes.

Van Nistelrooy could only position himself as a center forward inside the penalty area.

As a result, Ronaldo received a pass back from Keane, turned around, and outmaneuvered Toure.

Facing Essien's series of stepovers, he then delivered a nutmeg pass, catching Essien completely off guard.

He almost single-handedly broke through Manchester City's defense from the middle.

Inside the penalty area, Van Nistelrooy received the ball, dribbled past Chiellini, and unleashed a powerful shot.

boom!

Cech made an incredible save!

Almost everyone on the field thought the ball was going in.

result……

"Oh! Cech is wasting such a talent!"

"He rejected Van Nistelrooy's goal and Ronaldo's amazing performance! If that shot had gone in, Ronaldo's assist would definitely have been in his career highlights."

"A striker of this age should be like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has more possession of the ball and can move freely and powerfully across the field."

Although they didn't score, Manchester United gained momentum!

Thirty-nine minutes.

Giggs dribbled and feinted on the left wing.

Maicon fought and retreated.

Giggs passed the ball back to Phil Neville.

Phil passed the ball to Ronaldo, who had dropped back to receive it.

Cristiano Ronaldo made a quick half-turn and passed the ball!

Deng Kai: ? ? ?

Although the accuracy is much worse, this is Deng Kai's forte: quick passing.

Giggs cut inside from the left without the ball, getting right past Maicon.

After receiving the ball, he faced Desailly and spiked the ball twice in succession.

Desailly is getting old after all; his technique and experience can keep up, but his body can't.

His steps faltered, and he was knocked down.

Chiellini and Essien rushed toward Giggs.

Cech also positioned himself slightly outwards to maximize his ability to block Giggs' shooting angle.

boom!

Giggs chipped the ball directly into the six-yard box.

The football passed over Cech's hands.

After passing the ball, Ronaldo surged forward and unleashed a low volley to meet the ball.

He steadily and surely put the ball into the net.

"Goal! Manchester United have finally pulled one back!"

"This is the Manchester United team that dominated the Premier League last season."

"They played fluidly together, and the key players maximized their strengths."

"Giggs's feint was brilliant, and Ronaldo's volley was absolutely dominant!"

"Of course, Ronaldo's through ball after dropping back to receive the pass will undoubtedly remind people of Duncan. When he was at Sporting Lisbon, Duncan always delivered passes like that to Ronaldo."

"Who knew Cristiano Ronaldo would use this trick too!"

"He became the bridge connecting Manchester United's midfield and attack, a function previously performed by Beckham."

"In comparison, Cech's positioning was clearly wrong again! He was quite far from where a goalkeeper should be. Does Manchester City still not intend to correct this flaw?"

"Manchester City's decision to sign Man was a huge mistake. They should have brought in a more experienced goalkeeper instead of a youth academy player like Neuer."

"I even think that Barthez from Manchester United would be a good option."

"Given the relationship between Duncan and Ferguson, if it were up to him, Ferguson might sell Barthez, who is on the bench, to Manchester City."

"As long as Manchester City can sell Ribery to Manchester United."

"This way, Manchester United can truly play with both wings attacking."

In the 41st minute, Deng Kai made a brilliant backheel pass.

Yaya Touré received the ball and drove straight into the penalty area.

boom!

Toure took a low shot.

Howard finally made the save this time.

In the 44th minute, Manchester United continued their counterattack, with Berion delivering a cross from the wing.

Cristiano Ronaldo's close-range shot hit the post.

However, the linesman then raised his flag, indicating that Ronaldo was offside.

This isn't a problem of Ronaldo's ability to score, but rather a problem of his understanding with Berline.

The two sides then entered halftime.

Neither side made any adjustments that had no practical effect.

In the 51st minute, Manchester City, who had been in possession of the ball for a long time, were besieged by Manchester United and conceded a goal.

But halfway through Manchester United's counter-attack, Essien made another interception.

Manchester City launched a counter-attack.

Cristiano Ronaldo acted decisively, pulling down Deng Kai.

The next moment, the ball flew past Deng Kai. Once it landed at Deng Kai's feet, given his passing ability and vision, it would almost certainly be another goal.

drop!

The referee showed a yellow card to Cristiano Ronaldo for helping Deng Kai up.

Manchester City players booed Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the 54th minute, Van Nistelrooy drew the fire on the wing.

Gary Neville and Berlion on the right completed a cross-field play, and then the ball was passed across the byline.

Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly retreated from inside the penalty area to the edge of the penalty arc.

Gary's cross pass was perfectly positioned to reach that spot.

Cristiano Ronaldo turned and fired a shot at the ball!

Completely unexpected!

when!

The football struck the post again, making a loud thud.

Whoosh whoosh!

Manchester City fans continued to boo Cristiano Ronaldo.

But this time I'm actually a little scared.

Even the Manchester City defenders frowned.

My dear reader, there's more to this chapter! Please click the next page to continue reading—even more exciting content awaits!

Cristiano Ronaldo was already strong.

This kicking style is clearly meant to increase speed.

Although Ronaldo himself is not quite used to it yet, once he does, Manchester City will really be unable to defend against him.

However, to Deng Kai's surprise, some Manchester United fans also booed.

Most of them were fans who were unhappy with Cristiano Ronaldo succeeding Beckham, while some were fans of Van Nistelrooy.

Van Nistelrooy arrived at Manchester United a year before Ronaldo, and that season he did indeed carry the torch for Manchester United's attack.

Despite the initial impression, Van Nistelrooy still has many die-hard fans.

Sixty-second minute.

In the contest between Toure and Scholes, Toure was the clear winner.

But after Scholes fell to the ground, Toure tried to get past him.

As a result, Scholes was also preparing to get up and chase back.

Touré's cleats grazed Scholes' head as a result.

The referee immediately showed Touré a yellow card.

Dangerous action.

Manchester City took advantage of the dead ball situation to substitute Baggio, who was exhausted.

New signing David Villa makes his debut.

"The Spanish David has arrived! Manchester lost one David, but gained two! But I wonder if these two Davids are even a tenth as strong as the original David!" Huang Jianxiang recited a tongue twister. "Yuanyuan, do you think Manchester United still has a chance in this match?"

Given the current situation, this site may be shut down at any time. Please move to the permanently operating source-switching app, huanyuanapp.org, as soon as possible.

Huang Jianxiang's implication is already quite clear.

Let Gao Yuanyuan say that Manchester United has a chance, keeping the suspense of the game alive.

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head frankly: "Manchester United can't catch up. They might score another goal, but it's unlikely they'll come back to win two in a row."

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
