Old Trafford Stadium, Tradford Borough, Greater Manchester County, is one of the three UEFA five-star football stadiums in England and is known as the Theater of Dreams.
After expansion in 2000, it can accommodate 68,000 spectators at one time and is currently the largest football stadium in England.
Today is the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona challenges the Red Devils Manchester United away. This is definitely a focus battle in this year's Champions League. One side is star-studded, with Zidane, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, as well as a star-level defense. A luxurious lineup of three world-class footballers.
The other side also has Ruud van Nistelrooy, Veron and former Uruguay striker Forlan. In particular, Manchester United, coached by Van Nistelrooy, has set a record of scoring in 8 consecutive league games.
Moreover, the Red Devils were 11 points behind in the league, catching up with Arnason who was far ahead, and finally successfully reversed and won the league championship. It can be said that they were very impressive.
Therefore, the two sides played inextricably at the beginning, especially Barcelona's midfielder Zidane. Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, the strikers with super personal abilities, are simply the offensive trident that all coaches dream of.
Therefore, Barcelona almost overwhelmed the Red Devils at the beginning and had the home field advantage. Especially the cheers from the audience in the stands.
The Manchester United players struggled very hard on the court. Until the end of the first half, Barcelona, which had 13 shots, 5 of which were on target, failed to knock on the door of Manchester United.
However, Barcelona was obviously not in a hurry at all, although the offense in the first half was a bit exhausting for them. But the Red Devils, who were actively fighting for defense, also felt uncomfortable.
In order to prevent Barcelona's attack, they had to defend with fierce confrontation and fighting. And three of the four defenders have already received yellow cards for fouls.
This is because when the lead singer has the advantage, if it were to be elsewhere. There were several fouls and the referee probably blew the whistle. Not to mention three yellow cards, it is not impossible to send someone off with a red card.
Yang Dongxu did not go to the VIP room, but sat in the front row of the stadium with a group of Barcelona fans to watch the game. It is relatively relaxed compared to the VIP room.
Sitting in the front row and watching the game has a completely different atmosphere, especially when Barcelona are attacking with the ball and taking shots. Tens of thousands of people either cheered or booed loudly, and the players off the court who were a little timid would have been scared to death.
At halftime, Barcelona players and coaches did not look this way because they did not know that their big boss came to watch the game. But Manchester United head coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who left from the other side, entered the players' lounge passage. The assistant didn't know what he said in his ear, but he looked at Yang Dongxu from a distance.
But because the distance was too far, Yang Dongxu didn't care. I continued to enjoy the atmosphere of the game as I listened to the fans around me discussing intensely how Barcelona could take advantage in the second half and how they could score goals.
But when the second half was about to begin, he couldn't help but turn his head, and then a familiar face came into view. Sitting next to him were Wang Sheng and several other bodyguards.
When someone left behind him just now, he thought it was during halftime and the fans were going to the toilet or something and didn't pay much attention. Who would have thought that the bearded fan would turn into Dai'er's pretty face.
"I want to sit in front." Dai'er looked at Yang Dongxu and pointed to Wang Sheng's position.
Yang Dongxu looked at her in surprise, and then looked next to her. There were several familiar faces, the same fans from before. In other words, Dai'er came without bodyguards.
He frowned and looked at Dai'er, who looked at him with a smile. Then Yang Dongxu signaled to Wang Sheng, and the two of them fell down from their seats and changed positions.
"Are you a Barcelona fan?" Before the second half started, a beautiful girl named Del suddenly appeared.
The male fans nearby couldn't help but lower their voices when discussing, but when they saw that Dai'er knew the oriental guy in front of them, and they seemed to have a good relationship. Many male fans couldn't help but look disappointed.
Fans who come to watch away games are undoubtedly die-hard fans, but no matter how die-hard they are, it is undoubtedly very satisfying to be able to hold a beautiful woman in their arms while watching their own team play.
"No, I have always been a fan of Manchester United." Daier said.
Yang Dongxu looked at her speechlessly, while several Barcelona fans heard her speak. Although they didn't glare at each other immediately, their eyes were obviously not very friendly.
So Yang Dongxu wanted to say, "If you, a Manchester United fan, run into a crowd of Barcelona fans, and you can't help but curse when Manchester United loses, aren't you afraid of being beaten?"
The second half of the game officially started when the whistle sounded in the field.
There were no substitutions on both sides, and the lineup was still the same as the first half, with Barcelona's trident and Red Devils and Manchester United's four defenders. Both sides seem to be prepared to be tough again and then make adjustments according to the situation.
But what people didn't expect was that after the opening, Barcelona continued to suppress Manchester United in their own half and couldn't move. But less than ten minutes into the second half.
The Manchester United defender made a successful double-attack defense and passed the ball to Forlan on the winger. Barcelona personnel failed to defend in time and were beaten 1:0 by the opponent running all the way.
There was silence in the stadium for a moment, and the Manchester United fans obviously did not expect that their own team, which had always been passive, would take the lead in breaking through the opponent's door. Then came the cheers of the mountains and the tsunami.
Looking at Dai'er who was shouting and yelling around him, he looked like a fanatical fan. As the eyes around him began to become more and more unfriendly, Yang Dongxu pinched his eyebrows. This young lady must be looking for excitement when she has nothing to do.
Ula...Ula...
Yang Dongxu was wary of his surroundings, fearing that Dai'er would be grabbed by the hair and beaten by the irrational fan.
But the next moment, cheers suddenly erupted from the stands. It turned out that Barcelona was the first to make substitutions. Moreover, a defender was removed and the winger Xiao Hutou was replaced. The front trident became four offensive players.
Therefore, Barcelona fans are not prepared to defend at all when the team coach strengthens the offense. The practice of preparing a road to the end gave great support and affirmation. Many fans cheered and kept giving thumbs up.
Of course, this kind of offensive football is indeed what fans like to watch, but if this game is lost. How enthusiastic the cheers are now, how much saliva will be poured out later.
In short, strengthening the frontcourt offense is the right choice to win. The loss was because the head coach didn't understand the formation at all, and he was 0:1 behind. He didn't even think about his own defense and still attacked with all his strength.
"Players from your country? They seem to be quite popular." Daier, who was waving her arms and seemed out of place with the surrounding Barcelona fans, finally made it.
Fortunately, although she is a Manchester United fan, she was wearing casual clothes today and did not wear a Manchester United jersey. Otherwise, when she raised her arms and cheered just now, the Barcelona fans next to her would probably have been unable to help but beat her up. It's a beauty though.
In the eyes of fans, beauties are certainly their favorite, but they are photographed in the second place after football. If you dare to blaspheme football, which is number one in my heart, I will beat you regardless of whether you are a woman or not. After all, British football hooligans are world-famous.
"He performed well in Barcelona, so he received some recognition." Yang Dongxu said.
Speaking of Barcelona's stars, needless to say the frontcourt, counting all the way back to the defenders, they may not necessarily be ranked as little tigers. There is no way that in the star-studded Barcelona, Xiao Hutou, who is like a monk halfway, like a player who came in through the back door through the boss's relationship, does not have much fame.
However, in the past two years, Xiao Hutou has really strived for success, especially with regular extra practice, which has made him extremely solid in basic skills that are different from other players.
Then, coupled with the strong body and explosive power gained from practicing martial arts since childhood, and the threat on the front line, the Barcelona coach becomes more and more comfortable to use.
Although there is definitely a certain gap compared with the three football men. But whether it is the Barcelona coach or the Barcelona fans. We are very excited about the future of this oriental-faced boy. It was no longer the initial scolding, saying that Xiao Hutou was a connected person.
Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson kept clapping his hands and shouting loudly. While expressing his satisfaction and praise for the defensive counterattack just now, he also asked the players to pay attention to defense.
Barcelona once again replaced a striker with a very obvious purpose, that is, if the trident cannot open your door, then I will play four. It's so capricious to have many offensive players in your hand that are easy to use.
Sir Alex Ferguson's shouts made the Manchester United players calm down from the frenzy of scoring just now. Everyone began to defend and prepare to defend this goal advantage while looking for the next opportunity for defensive counterattack.
Zidane took the ball and started to advance forward. Suddenly, with a powerful and heavy foot, he passed the ball from the midfielder to Ronaldinho on the winger.
After Ronaldinho blocked the opposing player in front of him and got the ball, he jumped over the opponent and started to advance. Da Luo, who was originally jogging, immediately accelerated and started to advance.
Seeing Ronaldinho getting closer and closer, the defensive players with faces full of players had to press forward. Barcelona's offensive players are too sharp, and anyone approaching the penalty area is a huge threat.
Keeping the ball outside the penalty area was the main defensive idea of Manchester United players in this game. Even a foul cannot allow the football to easily enter the penalty area.
But whether it is Ronaldinho who is rushing forward, Ronaldo who has already intervened, or Zidane who is also running quickly after passing the ball. None of them can be defended by one player, it must be done by multiple people together.
boom!
Being forced by two people and seeing a third person coming to block the ball, Ronaldinho passed the ball out with one kick.
"Left, left, that Asian guy..." Sir Alex roared loudly on the sidelines. I wish I could rush forward and stop the little tiger head.
Because Manchester United's letting go was pulled down by Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho and Zidane, the three football superstars who had to defend, a huge loophole appeared.
After Xiao Hutou received Ronaldinho's pass, he moved the ball forward and accelerated directly into Manchester United's penalty area. And the speed was getting faster and faster without any intention of slowing down, and it seemed that the next moment he was carrying the ball into the Manchester United goal.
Stab...
The Manchester United defender closest to Xiao Hutou blocked it, but he obviously couldn't stop Xiao Hutou who was already charging. He could only subconsciously lean forward and reach out to grab the little tiger head's clothes to commit a foul.
The running little tiger staggered due to the pull, but did not stop. The original jersey was torn directly by the opponent, but he took the football, calmly passed the opponent's goalkeeper who had to attack, and rushed directly into the opponent's goal with the ball.
"OH...My...GOOOOOO...D..." Barcelona fans burst into cheers instantly.
"Two minutes, just two minutes. The young Barcelona player who just came on as a substitute successfully broke through the door of the Red Devils..."
Seeing Xiao Hutou's goal, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but stood up suddenly, raised his arms and started cheering.
At this time, there was no sense at all and no regard for identity. The excitement of adrenaline surges instantly, making you shout and cheer at the top of your lungs.
Strangers hugged each other, jumped and celebrated together, not caring whether they were holding a woman or a bearded old man in their arms. This was the atmosphere of watching football at the scene. It always allows you to vent your inner excitement involuntarily.
"It's just a goal. The final victory will definitely stay at Old Trafford." Dai'er, who was cheering Manchester United's goal just now, with a blush on her face, snorted in dissatisfaction.
The Barcelona fans who were celebrating the goal didn't bother to pay attention to him. They equalized the score in two minutes. Can they be far away from the next goal?
Their team can win, so Barcelona fans feel they can be more generous when it comes to beauties.
