Chapter 176
In the opening 2 minutes, Cambiasso made a long pass from the backcourt. After being intercepted by Manchester United, he launched a quick counterattack from the right. Cristiano Ronaldo broke through with the ball from the right rib, and was knocked down by Inter Milan defender Chivu. The referee Cantalejo awarded a free kick.

The Portuguese took a free kick from 25 meters in front of the goal and shot low through the wall, and was caught by the well-prepared Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar.

The goal kick was taken, Cesar drove to the front court with a big foot, Zanetti won the physical confrontation with Carrick and controlled the ball, heel knocked, and gave the ball to Cambiasso in the middle.

Commander Kan also didn't stop the ball and sent a through ball through the gap between Ferdinand and Evans. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Zhu Hantao hit the goal, and Inter Milan ushered in an excellent scoring opportunity!

The two strikers of Inter Milan looked at each other and understood. Zlatan Ibrahimovic took the ball on the left side of the penalty area and made a gesture to hit the goal with his right foot.

The Swede made a fake shot and hit the right side. Zhu Hantao kept the ball from the right side of the penalty area and pushed the ball with his left foot to the far corner of the goal.

"Cambiasso sends a through ball, and Manchester United's defense has a hole! Ibrahimovic has the ball! Will he choose to hit the goal directly? Oh! Zhu Hantao! Zhu Hantao's shot! Oops, Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar took advantage of his height and long legs to block the ball with his feet."

Zhu Hantao, who missed the goal, kicked the air with his left foot in frustration. If the ball had been arced with his left foot and hit the upper left corner of the goal, even Van der Sar would have been too late to save it.

At that time, there was no time to think about pushing a ground ball with his left foot to hit the far corner, and the friction with the turf also slowed down the speed of the ball, which allowed the Dutchman to react in time to stretch his legs and block the ball out of the baseline.

Zhu Hantao's kick was also the first time Inter Milan had a chance to shoot in this game, and the first time it threatened Manchester United's goal.

Inter Milan's corner kick, Chivu took a corner kick from the right, and was then headed out by Manchester United's central defender Ferdinand, clearing the penalty area.

Giggs, who was in front of Fletcher, immediately passed the ball.Giggs dribbled the ball in the middle and passed Inter Milan midfielder Muntari and then divided the ball to the wing.

Ronaldo got the ball on the right, broke quickly, went up the pitch and passed it back to the Red Devils captain Giggs, then the Welshman moved the ball to the left, Zanetti scooped the ball from Evra's feet, and Manchester United also got a corner.

Giggs took a corner kick from the left, Ronaldo jumped 5 meters in front of the goal and headed the goal, but Cesar, who reacted quickly, threw the ball to the left with one hand to block the ball.

Manchester United did not need any time to adapt to the away game. They launched a fierce attack against the home team from the opening stage. Fortunately, Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar was in a brave state to block and defend the goal with all his strength.

Cristiano Ronaldo received a pass from his teammate in the frontcourt, dunked the defender, and shot a low shot with his right foot 27 meters in front of the goal and slightly missed the right post.

Two minutes later, it was Ronaldo again. He passed Inter Milan left-back Thornton on the right side of the penalty area, and volleyed from a small angle with his right foot 2 meters in front of the goal and went over the crossbar.

"Inter captain Sai Mainland said in an interview before the game that Ronaldo would be a key player for Manchester United, but he also said that Inter Milan can suppress the Portuguese winger with a compact formation.

However, judging from the first 10 minutes of the game, Inter Milan's defensive players did not seem to do what Zanetti said. They felt that the home team's goal was in jeopardy and could be broken by Ronaldo at any time. "

It is true that Cristiano Ronaldo's performance on the field is somewhat unstoppable, and Mourinho's carefully arranged defense line before the game does not seem to have played a very good role in front of him.

Not to mention that the left-back Thornton who started the game today was too immature, and he was treated like a fool in front of the Portuguese.

Inter finally had another chance to attack, Stankovic received a pass from Muntari and kicked in from the edge of the box, his powerful volley over the bar.

"Inter Milan is not only under a lot of pressure in defense, but there is no good way to attack. So far, the only threatening attack is the previous one. Ibrahimovic and Zhu Hantao's double ghost hit the goal. Unfortunately, Zhu Hantao's shot was blocked by Van der Sar."

In the 14th minute, Manchester United midfielder Carrick fell to the ground under Zanetti's defense. Cantalejo gave Manchester United a free kick in a very good position.

"This is a very good chance for Manchester United to score. It depends on whether they can seize it. This position can directly hit the goal, but pay attention to the wall.

Oh, the ball was handed over to Red Devils captain Giggs to take the penalty. The Welshman's left-footed free kick from 18 meters in front of the goal hit the Nerazzurri's wall and popped out. "

Inter Milan's captain Zanetti dribbled the ball to the front of the opponent's penalty area. Manchester United defender Ferdinand and goalkeeper Van der Sar did not form a tacit understanding, allowing Zanetti to complete a shot on the penalty area line. The ball hit Evans and fell into Van der Sar's arms.

After this attack, the situation of the game was completely controlled by Manchester United again. It almost formed a half-time offensive and defensive drill. The visiting team Manchester United attacked and the home team Inter Milan defended.

In the 23rd minute, Evra sent a diagonal pass from the left, Manchester United No. 9, Berbatov's header [-] meters away from the goal missed the right post.

In the 26th minute, Manchester United made another murderous attempt. Carrick sent an accurate direct pass with his left foot near the center circle. Inter Milan central defender Rivas made a tackle error, allowing Giggs to single-handedly break into the left side of the penalty area.

Two minutes later, it was Ronaldo's performance again. His dribbling in the frontcourt made Inter Milan's defensive players helpless. They could only make a foul to stop Manchester United's attack.

The visiting team won a free kick about 27 meters away from the goal. Cristiano Ronaldo took the penalty himself. His direct free kick volleyed the goal and was resolved by Cesar.

Manchester United immediately made a comeback, Giggs pulled to the right, and after breaking through, he played a high ball and passed it into the penalty area. Ronaldo beat Rivas' head-shaking attack slightly wide of the right post at 8 meters from the front point.

In the 32nd minute, Manchester United got another chance for a free kick. Ronaldo took a free kick 24 meters away from the goal on the left and hit the wall.

That's it, Ferguson's Manchester United turned against the guest, and the offensive against Inter Milan in Meazza was wave after wave, which made the home team exhausted and it was difficult to make a counterattack.

This made Zhu Hantao feel uncomfortable playing. After coming to Inter Milan, he is generally stronger than his opponent, and his own team takes the initiative on the field. It is rare to encounter such a situation where the opponent is completely suppressed.

South Korean Park Ji-sung, who won the first game in this game, broke through from the left and made a cross. Berbatov's header 9 meters in front of the goal missed the goal and went out of the bottom line.

"In the 43rd minute of the game, the score on the field is still zero to zero. Although Manchester United has the upper hand on the scene, they can't score. Inter Milan's goal is shaky, but it just doesn't fall."

The Korean took the ball from the left, and Maicon rushed forward with a flying shovel and shoveled the ball out. Park Ji-sung fell to the ground and turned several times.

Maicon was very dissatisfied with this, he obviously tackled the ball, it was Park Ji-sung who dropped it himself, it was a clean and beautiful tackle, how could it be a foul.

Inter Milan's head coach Mourinho protested fiercely on the sidelines. The goalkeeper Toldo on the bench received a yellow card for his words too fiercely.

The ugly face of the Korean infuriated the crowd at the Meazza Stadium. Nerazzurri, who had a bad temper and couldn't bear it, even wanted to rush down to beat him, but was stopped by the stadium security personnel in time.

Before the end of halftime, Ferdinand made a mistake in his big foot clearance. Ibrahimovic got the ball, and then the Swede made a slightly adjusted shot and was blocked by Manchester United defender Evans.

"Okay, the first half of the game is over here. Inter Milan and Manchester United temporarily drew [-]-[-] at home. Both sides had some chances, but they failed to score first. I don't know if there will be a goal in the second half, and which side will score first.

I think according to Mourinho's personality, substitutions and adjustments may be made soon, otherwise it will be bad for them to continue playing like this. "

During the intermission, players from both sides returned to the locker room. The score of zero to zero was an unsatisfactory but acceptable score for both the host and the guest.

Mourinho re-emphasized the defense against Ronaldo. It is normal to be unable to defend one-on-one.

It's good to be able to defend without losing points. The scoring depends on the performance of Ibrahimovic and Zhu Hantao. He doesn't have any good solutions.

"The second half started. Sure enough, it was Inter Milan who took the lead in adjusting the defense. Mourinho replaced Rivas with Cordoba."

Just 2 minutes into the second half, Cambiasso sent a ground ball from the left, and Ibrahimovic cleverly missed the back point. The unmarked Stankovic shot with his left foot 8 meters in front of the goal, but the ball bounced off the inside of his right foot and went above the crossbar.

"Hahahaha," Huang Jianxiang couldn't help laughing after seeing this scene. They are all professionally trained, and they generally don't laugh unless they can't help it. "The missed ball from Ibrahimovic before the ball is very spiritual, but Stankovic's shot is a bit unreliable. He actually hit his foot and popped the baseline."

One minute later, Inter Milan attacked again. Due to the pressure on the left to defend Ronaldo, the head coach Mourinho asked Maicon to take on more tasks to help the offense during midfield.

The Brazilian dribbled the ball from the right at high speed and made a cross. Zhu Hantao fell to the ground while fighting for the position with Ferdinand. The ball was pushed out of the baseline by the Manchester United central defender. The referee Cantalejo gave Inter Milan a corner kick.

Zhu Hantao, who got up from the ground, went to the referee, complained to him, and made gestures to indicate that Ferdinand was suspected of fouling in defense just now, but the Spanish referee pretended not to understand what Zhu Hantao was talking about and ignored him.

Chivu's corner kick into Manchester United's penalty area, Inter Milan's central defender Cordoba and Evans collided, Cordoba fell to the ground but the referee did not say anything.

"C Ronaldo strode the ball and dribbled forward with the ball. Most of Inter Milan's defensive players stayed in the frontcourt and did not return to their defensive positions. Inter Milan's goal is dangerous!

Maicon, who stayed in the backcourt to defend, went up to meet him. Ronaldo stepped on a bicycle, but Maicon didn't shake, and the ball was broken!It seems that it is not so easy to deceive the full-back from Brazil by pedaling a bicycle. "

After stealing the ball, Maicon dribbled the ball himself, broke through along the right side, and then knocked across the middle, Stankovic received a pass from his teammate.

The Serbian shot low with his right foot from outside the penalty area 25 meters away from the goal, and it went wide of the right side of the goal. Van der Sar fell to the right to save, reached out but missed the ball.

Cantalejo thought the ball had been saved by Van der Sar over the baseline and awarded a corner to Inter Milan.

The Dutchman got up from the goal line and shook his hand in dissatisfaction, but it was just a corner kick, and Manchester United didn't care too much.

Maicon went to the corner flag area to prepare for the kick-off. The ball did not go directly into the penalty area. Manchester United's defensive players had excellent frontal defense capabilities. Ferdinand could completely control the high ball in the penalty area.

The tactical corner kick hit the arc of the penalty area, and Stankovic hit Fletcher with a strong long-range shot and bounced in front of Zhu Hantao.

On the left side in front of Manchester United's penalty area, Zhu Hantao took the ball, and the diligent Park Ji-sung returned to this position to help defend.

"Oh? What did we see? Two players from Asia had their first head-to-head confrontation on the stage of the Champions League. Zhu Hantao and Park Ji-sung were one-on-one. Who will win this contest?"

Zhu Hantao stepped on two bicycles on the spot. The Koreans were afraid that he would cut inside and break into the penalty area, so they defended the inside line. Zhu Hantao suddenly changed direction, took the outside of Park Ji-sung, accelerated to overtake and broke into the penalty area.

After passing Park Ji-sung, Zhu Hantao was near the left line of the penalty area. He shot with his right foot and kicked the ball in an arc.

Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar was ready when Zhu Hantao passed by Park Ji-sung. He predicted that Zhu Hantao might hit the far corner, so he reacted in time and jumped up to save.

However, Zhu Hantao's shot this time hit a dead corner in an absolute sense, and the speed of the ball was so fast that even Van der Sar was beyond his reach, so he could only helplessly look at the ball and sigh.

"Oh? We saw that facing Park Ji-sung, Zhu Hantao tried to ride a bicycle and passed! He entered the restricted area! This angle is not very good, but... Zhu Hantao hit the goal!
The ball went in!In, in, in, in in!Zhu Hantao!Great goal!Absolute dead end!Bravo!Let's congratulate Inter Milan!
Manchester United's goalkeeper, Van der Sar has nothing to do with Zhu Hantao's shot!In the first half, Zhu Hantao missed an excellent chance to score. The Dutchman rejected his high-quality goal. In the second half, he finally succeeded in responding! "

After the goal was conceded, on the sidelines bench, the head coach of Manchester United, Ferguson's flushed face was still as usual, but the chewing gum in his mouth was getting faster and faster, which seemed to show that Sir Alex Ferguson's heart was not at peace.

At the same time, Zhu Hantao, who scored the goal, had not had time to celebrate. The team's coach Mourinho could not hide his excitement and excitement, and knelt down on the sidelines.
