The game has now reached the 38th minute, and Manchester United still takes the initiative.
Ferguson's expression on the sidelines was stern. He looked back in the direction of the VIP stands.
"Well, if Ryan and Paul were still there in this game, maybe we would have scored."
Phelan also agreed: "Anderson and Nani are very capable of controlling the ball, but their cooperation is not tacit and they missed many opportunities in the first half."
Ferguson looked at Monaco's half: "If we keep playing like this, maybe we will be in danger..."
"What?" Phelan asked, but Ferguson did not answer. He frowned and observed the movements on the court.
Now Manchester United finds that the attack on the right is blocked, and their attack has slowly moved to the left.
In this game, Park Ji-sung took Giggs' place. He was in good physical condition and kept pressing Son Ji-hai on the left, looking for opportunities to move forward.
Seeing that the team's attack failed, left back Evra and midfielder Carrick also pressed forward.
As a result, Sun Jihai was under greater pressure.
But Sun Jihai is in top form today. Well, it should be said that whenever he plays against Manchester United, Sun Jihai is particularly energetic...
This time it was an assist from Evra. During his years at Manchester United, Evra has become the world's top left-back. Industry insiders rate him as the top three left-backs in the world!
Excellent in offense and defense, with excellent speed and strength, this is Evra.
He dribbled the ball towards Son Ji-hae, while Park Ji-sung was waiting for the response.
In fact, Evra could have cooperated with Park Ji-sung at this time, but he still chose to compete one-on-one with Sun Jihai.
The fundamental reason was that he didn't think highly of Sun Jihai.
A veteran in his thirties, a former sworn enemy, a player from a country whose football is lagging behind, who do you think you are?
Evra suddenly slowed down and wanted to cross Sun Jihai!
Sun Jihai didn't give in, he chose to fight directly!
The two collided hard!
Evra was ejected from the sideline!
This time the opponent Sun Jihai won!
Although his ankle was in great pain, Sun Jihai still gritted his teeth and passed the ball accurately!
Beckham received the ball and without hesitation, he passed the ball long!
This pass is extremely accurate!
The ball directly found Saviola on the right!
Now his spot is vacant!
Ferdinand did not dare to attack easily. He stood firm and did not give Saviola a chance to move forward!
Saviola made a cross pass, then bypassed Ferdinand and went straight into the penalty area!
Dong Fangzhuo flicked his ankle in the middle, and Vidic missed!
Saviola went solo! Volley into the far corner!
Van der Sar saved the ball!
At this time, Dong Fangzhuo had turned around and ran towards the ball!
Vidic was once again thrown away by Dong Fangzhuo's speed!
Dong Fangzhuo chose the shot! Van der Sar tried his best to take off, but still didn't touch the ball...
"The ball went in!!!"
"Towards the end of the first half, Monaco made a wonderful counterattack and blasted away Manchester United's goal!"
"The starting point of this counterattack was Beckham. His precise long pass made Saviola extremely comfortable receiving the ball!"
"And the cooperation between Saviola and Dong Fangzhuo also benefited in seconds. After Dong Fangzhuo passed the ball without stopping, he quickly bypassed Vidic and ran towards the goal. Only then did he get a good opportunity to shoot in front of the goal! "
"Former Real Madrid and Barcelona forward Saviola, and former Manchester United player Dong Fangzhuo, the two teamed up to contribute a wonderful goal. They are the best forwards today!"
In the live broadcast room, Octave didn't care about the mood of the audience. He just wanted to brag about Saviola and Dong Fangzhuo.
At this time, next to the visiting team's coaching bench, the Monaco general couldn't help but want to give all the praise to the several goalscorers!
Great pass from Beckham! Saviola's quick response! Dong Fangzhuo's cooperation and final blow!
Gudjohnsen's forward movement on the left also put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's defense, especially having some impact on Edwin van der Sar's attack.
1 to 0! Monaco scored an away goal and they expanded the total score to 4-2!
Monaco has already entered the Champions League final with one leg!
The away fans who came to watch the game cheered excitedly!
In addition to Monaco fans, there are also many fans wearing Manchester City jerseys!
They are all here to support Manchester United's opponents!
There were also many fans wearing Leeds United jerseys and Liverpool scarves!
As long as Manchester United loses, we are happy!
Tens of thousands of Monaco fans suddenly appeared in the stadium, making the goal even more popular!
Among the fans, the one with the loudest voice is Sun Jihai? !
On the one hand, his defense just now caused Evra's mistake, which was the starting point of the goal; on the other hand, Sun Jihai continued to do it with Manchester United even if he was wearing a Monaco jersey! This spirit has won the praise of countless Manchester United's rivals!
Looking at Sun Jihai hugging the fans excitedly on the sidelines, Saviola smiled helplessly.
However, Dong Fangzhuo, the biggest contributor to this goal, had no reaction. He looked up at the Manchester United die-hard stand opposite, where there was silence.
Dong Fangzhuo raised his hands, clasped his hands toward the stands, made an apology gesture, and then slowly walked towards the center circle with his head lowered.
After the restart, Manchester United's attack suddenly became extremely violent!
Like an angry devil or a stabbed lion, they began to attack Monaco's half desperately!
The Monaco players, who had just been enjoying the joy of scoring a goal, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
In the next few minutes, the Manchester United players went crazy, forcing the Monaco players to panic.
Flamini even made a mistake and was almost hit by Carrick's long shot.
Yun Sheng was a little anxious. He knew that this must be Ferguson's order, asking the players to use the last moment to launch a desperate attack.
But no matter how much he shouted from the sidelines, the players couldn't come to their senses.
In the next few minutes, Manchester United's striker completely broke out to a top level!
Carrick protected the ball on the spot, attracting Makelele and Flamini. He deftly forced the ball between the two!
Rooney got the ball! He and Uyfalusi collided physically!
Manchester United No. 10 is not at a disadvantage!
Pick-up pass to the far post!
Owen quickly intervened, and Kompany was thrown away by him!
Volley to the near corner!
The ball went in! ! !
Owen, who scored the key equalizing goal, rushed into the goal. Amid the overwhelming cheers of the Manchester United fans, he rushed to the center circle with Rooney!
The first half of the game is not over yet, and Manchester United still has a chance to score!
Don't expect you to score by chance, but we at Manchester United can come back at any time, or even overtake!
Boys from Monaco, let me show you who is the best striker!
