Seeing their home team leading by one goal, the Red Devils fans in the stands were ecstatic.
The camera lens just caught Martin Joel's face.
The Dutchman covered his forehead and fell backward.
But he didn't really fall down. Instead, he took a few steps back and shook his head.
He has never coached a team that can participate in the Champions League final, and the team he leads is also the first time to enter the Champions League.
At this point, Martin Joel is not as experienced as Sir Alex.
Before the game, Qian warned Wan to pay attention to Manchester United's surprise attack, but unexpectedly, he was still blasted through by the Red Devils' high-altitude missile.
If Ledley King had retreated a little more, and if Chimbonda had been more aggressive at the time, the ball might not have been scored by Ronaldo.
But there are no ifs on the court, and Tottenham paid a serious price for their carelessness.
Football is not basketball. A goal may determine life or death!
...
After falling behind by one goal, Tottenham couldn't wait to launch a counterattack.
"Wang Xiaodong got rid of the frontcourt..."
"Hargreeves is no match for Wang Xiaodong..."
"Adjustment..."
"Wang Xiaodong!"
After squeezing Hargreeves away with his body in the frontcourt, Wang Xiaodong took the throw-in ball thrown by Modric and cut inward towards the center.
But after only taking one step, Wang Xiaodong was stunned.
He glanced at the far end and made a long pass.
"Slant pass..."
"Hit to the back!"
Wang Xiaodong's long pass accurately found Berbatov who ran near the vertical line of the small penalty area at the back post. The Bulgarian did not attack the ball aggressively.
In front of Evra, Berba headed the ball and hit the ball back to the center.
"Ouch!!!"
Seeing Van der Sar's tight waist suddenly bounce up, and then leaning back into a U-shape, the combined oohs and ahhs of He Wei and Zhang Lu once again filled the entire screen.
Van der Sar, who is 1.96 meters tall, stretched out his right hand high but failed to touch the ball.
Fortunately, this height has already reached the crossbar, and the ball hit the top of the crossbar and bounced back into the boundary.
"Danger!"
As soon as the sound fell, Vidic hurriedly headed the ball out of the penalty area.
Van der Sar looked at the 4 red and 1 white players in front of him and roared with dissatisfaction.
Close-up on Robbie Keane.
The man wearing the Tottenham captain's armband was pinching his eyes and pacing in place, obviously regretting the crossbar just now.
"The ball was very tight because Robbie Keane pressed Ferdinand so hard."
"So Ferdinand made a mistake when clearing the ball with a header and mistakenly hit the ball on his own crossbar."
In the slow-motion replay, Robbie Keane's elbow pressed hard on Ferdinand's shoulder. The latter fell to his knees after heading the ball and was pinned down by Robbie Keane.
Robbie Keane directly suppressed the opponent's clearance posture into a "header".
Such a wonderful Champions League final, the intensity far exceeded the fans' imagination.
After Ferdinand almost scored an own goal, Tottenham's offense once again came in waves.
This time it was Wang Xiaodong who stole the ball in the backcourt.
In front of his own corner kick, facing Tevez's left and right swing, Wang Xiaodong stretched his right foot and stopped the ball before losing his center of gravity.
Then facing the opponent's counterattack, Wang Xiaodong supported his body with one leg and leaned most of his body against the opponent.
After standing firm, Wang Xiaodong hooked his right foot and forced his body to turn around.
After Tevez was knocked away by Wang Xiaodong, he knew that he was about to be escaped, so he quickly put down the shovel in desperation.
But Wang Xiaodong just stumbled and got rid of Tevez's defense and took the ball forward.
"Wang Xiaodong forcibly wiped out the opponent's Carlos Tevez!"
"Long diagonal pass!"
"Wow!"
Seeing Wang Xiaodong's flying kick, he accurately found Bell running in front of the left from the right side of the backcourt. He Wei, who was well-informed, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The ball soared into the sky and went straight to the right side of Manchester United's backcourt.
At this moment, Evra is constantly chasing, and Vidic is also trying hard to move towards the landing point of the ball.
But with Bell's speed and precise guidance of the ball, Bell controlled the ball first.
Faced with double-teaming by two opponents' defenders, Bell took a step toward the sideline with the ball, then quickly turned around and launched a long pass.
"Bell gets rid of..."
"The two opponents...the ball was passed in!"
As soon as the word "come" came out, Berbatov in the penalty area fell to the ground like a missile and slammed the ball into the Manchester United goal.
At this moment, Berba had only Ferdinand beside him, and he could only watch helplessly as his opponent headed the ball towards the top.
At the critical moment, Van der Sar performed extremely bravely.
He instantly fell to the left and stopped the ball in front of the goal with his right arm.
At this moment, Ferdinand, who fell to the ground due to sudden braking, did not dare to be careless. He sat on the ground and twisted his waist. He drew his left leg on the turf like a compass and struggled to sweep the ball out of the penalty area.
But the power of sweeping the ball in this way was too small. As Modric rushed to the top of the arc, he shot towards the ball.
"The header was blocked!"
It wasn't until Modric kicked off that He Wei's exclamation, delayed for a second, sounded on the screen.
The camera flashed across the front of the goal. Van der Sar, who had just stood up, threw himself desperately to the right, and pushed Modric's shot over the baseline with both hands.
"Then follow up with a kick..."
"Ah!" He Wei groaned in disappointment.
"Hey, Van der Sar has made a meritorious service!" Zhang Lu added next to him.
"It's Van der Sar again!"
"Tottenham's counterattack was too fast!"
"Manchester United had just finished attacking over there, and now they hit the Manchester United penalty area."
"We see that Bell still has an advantage when facing the opponent's two defenders."
"From a lineup perspective, this Tottenham team is not much worse than Manchester United..."
Maybe it's because of his confidence.
Taking advantage of this momentum, two minutes later, Wang Xiaodong successfully stole the ball in the backcourt and led the team to quickly launch a fast break.
This time, Wang Xiaodong took the ball forward and directly passed the midline.
Facing the opponent's central defender approaching, Wang Xiaodong decisively used a through ball to find Lennon who was advancing.
"Wang Xiaodong is a straight line..."
"Look at Lennon..."
"The low ball is passed in front of the goal..."
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!!!"
This time, two consecutive "Hey" sounds came from the screen.
On the line of the small penalty area, two reds, one white and one green fell to the ground.
Facing Lennon's sweeping cross, Vidic, who inserted in from the front, cleared the ball, and Bell, who followed up in the middle, also missed the kick.
Both men almost touched the ball with their toes.
But it was just one centimeter out of reach, and the fans could only watch the ball pass by.
This time, no matter in the stands or in front of the goal, there was a sigh again.
What a pity!
What a pity!
If Bale's legs were just one centimeter longer, the ball might have gone in!
In the camera, Van der Sar's face turned red after he stood up, and he was obviously frightened.
He couldn't help but fist-palm each other, reminding himself that the game had only started not long ago, and there were still many such tests!
In the 29th minute of the game, Tottenham got a set kick in the frontcourt.
Wang Xiaodong fired his shot after passing an ultra-long run-up, without giving Van der Sar any time to react.
This time, before Van der Sar could stretch his body, the ball whizzed by and hit the crossbar above his head fiercely, flying high into the sky.
Two seconds later, the falling ball landed on the top net of the goal.
But the hearts of Red Devils fans are still trembling along with the doorframe.
What a powerful force, what a terrifying shot!
Van der Sar also took a deep breath and slapped his face, trying to calm himself down.
In order to cover up the panic in his heart, Van der Sar raised his toes, jumped up slightly, and grabbed the crossbar with both hands.
When he landed, the fans no longer knew whether the trembling of the door frame was due to the impact of the ball or the pull of Van der Sar.
Even though the Dutch goalkeeper confuses the audience in this way, the figure of Wang Xiaodong who just swung his leg to shoot is still deeply imprinted in the hearts of Red Devils fans.
