Chapter 177
"With Zhu Hantao's wonderful goal, the home team of this game, Inter Milan, finally took the lead in scoring in the No.60 minute of the game, temporarily leading the Manchester United team who came to Meazza with a score of [-]-[-]."

Cristiano Ronaldo stood there and took a deep look at Zhu Hantao who was celebrating wildly with his teammates in the distance. He was stronger, and he spent more time holding the ball and hitting the goal more times in the game. However, it was Zhu Hantao who scored the first goal. The Portuguese, who never admit defeat, was very unconvinced.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who has always had a brilliant performance on the offensive end, put away his contempt and is determined to be more serious.

Manchester United kicked off and hit the ball to the frontcourt through a few simple passes. The handsome Berbatov dribbled the ball forward in the middle and was tackled to the ground by Inter Milan central defender Chivu. The referee Cantalejo showed a yellow card warning.

But then Ronaldo's free kick flew directly into the stands.

Cesar threw the ball vigorously to the right, and Maicon dribbled the ball along the right to break through. As a result, Manchester United midfielder Carrick blocked the ball ahead of time.

The Brazilian immediately fought back and brought down Carrick, who also received a yellow card.

"This foul was unnecessary, Maicon was a little impulsive, and he paid for it with a yellow card.

After Inter Milan took the lead, the situation seemed to be more tense. Manchester United's wave after wave of offense made it difficult for the home team to deal with. Two consecutive players received yellow cards in defense. "

Cambiasso steals the ball in the frontcourt and gives it to Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic passes directly to the penalty area to find Zhu Hantao, but he fails to pass. Ferdinand judges the passing route and blocks the ball.

Manchester United's counterattack, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the right to the frontcourt, the three of Inter Milan stepped forward to form a double-team, Ronaldo fell to the ground, the referee Cantalejo did not call a foul, and the game continued.The Portuguese climbed up on his own, not too pleased.

Zanetti broke through with the ball on the right, was caught up by the opponent's left-back Evra in time and tackled the ball, and then the Frenchman passed the ball forward to Park Ji-sung.

Park Ji-sung got the ball in the front court and passed it straight to the penalty area, but the direct pass from the Korean was opposite to Ronaldo's running position, and Inter Milan's goalkeeper Cesar came out to control the ball.

"Oh, this time was originally a good counterattack opportunity. Park Ji-sung's pass and Ronaldo's running position are all right, but there is a problem with their cooperation, and they are still not tacit enough."

Inter Milan had the ball, Maicon launched an attack and passed the ball from the right, but Stankovic stood too far and was offside by Manchester United's back line.

Manchester United Giggs sent a long pass from the backcourt to the front. Berbatov didn't run to the point at all. Inter Milan defender Chivu headed the ball back to Cesar.

In the 66th minute, Ronaldo dribbled the ball into the penalty area and made a low pass on the right side. Park Ji-sung followed up with a shovel shot from the middle and failed to touch the ball.

A few minutes later, Fletcher fouled Inter Milan midfielder Muntari in defense and was warned by the referee with a yellow card.

Muntari made a mistake in passing the ball, Manchester United steals the ball and goes to the left to attack, Carrick transfers the ball to the right with a long pass.

It was Ronaldo dribbling the ball along the right to break through again. Also, Ronaldo is strong and has the ability to hold the ball as a burst point, so he must make full use of it.

After receiving a direct pass from C Ronaldo, O'Shea picked it up and passed it to the penalty area. C Ronaldo got the ball and broke through the penalty area to cross the goal.

Evra broke through from the left and knocked horizontally. Ronaldo kicked the goal at the front of the penalty area and was saved by Cesar out of the bottom line.

Then Manchester United's corner kick did not pose any threat, and Zanetti directly destroyed the ball out of the sideline.

A throw-in was sent, and Evra failed to seek a breakthrough on the left, and the ball was intercepted by Maicon.

Before the Inter Milan counterattack started, the ball was intercepted by Manchester United in the frontcourt. The ball was handed over to Ronaldo. The Portuguese dribbled the ball from the right and broke through.

Muntari got the ball in the front court and distributed it to the right. Zanetti took control of the game and sent it away. Then the captain of Inter Milan crossed the ball into the penalty area.

Ryan Giggs crossed the right, and his left-footed volley was blocked by Cordoba's sliding tackle at 13 meters in front of the goal, followed by Carrick's peripheral supplementary shot that missed the goal post.

Cambiasso crossed into the penalty area. Zhu Hantao wanted to hold on to his opponent and turned around to hit the goal, but a strong force behind him pushed him to the ground. He overestimated his physical resistance.

Cantalejo didn't say anything, and signaled the game to continue. Zhu Hantao sat on the ground with his hands high, hey, isn't this a foul?
"Zhu Hantao fell down in the penalty area and Manchester United defender Ferdinand. The referee thought there was no problem. This seemed to dissatisfy the Inter Milan players, and Mourinho was a little emotional on the sidelines.

Hey, why did I say again?
Oh, judging from the slow-motion replay from this angle, Ferdinand has some movement in his hand, and the ball can actually be awarded a penalty kick. "

In the No.706 minute of the game, Mourinho made two substitution adjustments at the same time, replacing Balotelli and Burdisso, and replacing Muntari and Zhu Hantao.

In this way, Inter Milan used up all the substitutions for this game.

"Zhu Hantao, who scored the only goal so far, was replaced. In the process of walking to the sidelines, the supporters of the home team who came to Meazza also gave their applause to the hero of the goal."

After scoring the goal, Zhu Hantao fell into the quagmire of Manchester United's defense. It was rare for a teammate to pass the ball. As soon as he got the ball, he was double-teamed by the opponent, and it was difficult to find another chance.

It was a pity that Zhu Hantao, who did not play the whole game, hugged his friend Balotelli and wished him good luck. The head coach, assistant coaches and teammates came to greet him one by one, and then he sat on the bench.

"I think that Mourinho should not be satisfied with the current score, not to mention that this one-goal lead is very unsafe and may be equalized by the opponent at any time.

This is Inter Milan's home court, and they don't want to find a way to score more goals. Judging from the situation of today's game, I think that returning to Old Trafford, Manchester United's home court, Inter Milan will definitely not be able to withstand the opponent's attack.

Therefore, if Mourinho's team wants to advance to the next round, it is best to score as many points as possible in today's game. "

Cristiano Ronaldo broke through and made a cross. Berbatov waded past Chivu and volleyed from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area to hit the side net.

"Manchester United's chance! Ah, the goal didn't go in. Brother Xiaosa didn't see the goal clearly and thought it was a goal. In fact, he hit the side net."

David Thornton dribbled the ball in from the left, and the Italian teenager rarely had a chance to attack. He was pressed by Ronaldo who was playing against him throughout the game. Thornton was already struggling to defend.

Thornton broke through from the left and wanted to pass a cross to the penalty area, but the opposing defender pushed the ball out.

Manchester United captain Giggs pulled to the right, and then sent a pass with unknown intentions. He didn't form a tacit understanding with his teammates, and it happened to be picked up by Inter Milan's captain Zanetti.

Park Ji-sung, who was pressing in the frontcourt, forced Zanetti to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Cesar kicked the ball to the front court with a big kick, Ibrahimovic judged the header and ferried it, Balotelli passed back with his heel under the close marking of Manchester United's central defender, Muntari passed too deep into the penalty area and was confiscated by Van der Sar.

After Wang Laoji got the ball in the frontcourt, he broke into the penalty area and hit Cordoba with a strong shot. The ball was blocked.

In the 82nd minute, Maicon's cross from the right hit the left arm of Manchester United full-back Evra, but the referee Cantalejo did not interrupt the game, and the helpless Inter players could only continue to attack.

Maicon got the ball again and made a cross. Ibrahimovic's header from close at hand failed to hit the goal and was cleared by Evans' header.

The Inter Milan players went to the referee to complain, indicating that Evra was suspected of handball just now.

Cantalejo shook his head, motioning for the game to continue.

The home team is still holding the ball on the outside. They are not in a hurry to attack now. When Balotelli got the ball in the frontcourt and wanted to break through with the ball, he was tackled by Ferdinand.

As the game time passed, the remaining time became less and less, and the Manchester United team, which was behind in the score, gradually became anxious.

Chewing gum in his mouth, Sir Alex made Manchester United's first substitution adjustment in this game. He replaced Park Ji-sung with Rooney.

"Little Chubby Rooney finally came out after a long-awaited call, but there is not much time left for him to perform. Can Rooney's playing help the visiting team change the score on the field? Let us wait and see."

Fletcher's foul gave Inter Milan a free kick 30 meters from the goal. Ibrahimovic hit the goal directly. The Swede's low shot hit Evans in the wall and missed the right post, but the referee Cantalejo awarded the goal to Manchester United.

Mourinho was very dissatisfied, and deliberately yelled and walked in front of the fourth official. It stands to reason that the referee could give him a yellow card warning, but Cantalejo still did not express it.

Rooney, who had just played for a half, brought down Cambiasso in the fight for one-half, and was warned by the referee with a yellow card.

In the 89th minute, Manchester United ushered in an excellent opportunity!Berbatov wanted to find Rooney with a chic volley pass, and seeing that Xiaopang was about to face Cesar single-handedly, the Inter Milan goalkeeper decisively attacked out of the penalty area to resolve the danger!
At the last moment of regular time, Stankovic's left-footed volley from the outside of the penalty area went over the bar.

In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, in order to prevent Ronaldo's breakthrough, Córdoba received a yellow card for a tackle on the ground, and then Ronaldo's free kick 25 meters away from the goal on the left was blocked by Cesar!
"The game is over! In the end, Inter Milan beat Manchester United [-]-[-] at home with a wonderful goal by Zhu Hantao.

Let us congratulate Mourinho and his team for taking the lead in the two rounds of competition, but who will advance to the next round depends on the results of their game when Manchester United returns to home in two weeks. "

This result is hard to say that Ferguson is satisfied with the result, but the away game is only a loss, and they only need to win back when they return to the home court.

But after all, Inter Milan has a ball lead in hand, so Ferguson must not take it lightly.

But there is also good news for Manchester United. The backbone of the defense Vidic will come back in the next round, which will further consolidate Manchester United's defense and bring the team greater chances of victory.

And the defense line composed of Ferdinand and Vidic... Mourinho has some headaches.

For the Nerazzurri coach Mourinho, this result has met the Portuguese's expectations before the game. Even if Manchester United cannot be won in the next round, as long as they get a draw, Inter Milan will also be able to enter the Champions League quarterfinals.

However, Inter Milan's performance of wasting many good scoring opportunities in home games is worrying. Therefore, scoring ability is also a key issue that Mourinho and his coaching team will urgently solve in the next two weeks.

Counting the confrontation during Chelsea's coaching period, this is the 11th time Mourinho has fought against Ferguson, and he has also achieved an impressive record of six wins, four draws and one loss. I believe this will also give Mourinho the absolute upper hand.

However, Ferguson is also fearless. Now his Manchester United is no longer the down-and-out giants that hovered in the trough when Mourinho was in charge of the Premier League.

Through the first round of the confrontation, I believe that Mourinho and Ferguson have a better understanding of each other, and they have also found an effective strategy to restrain their opponents, which will make the next round of confrontation even more exciting.

In addition, Samuel's return from injury and Nemanja Vidic's return from banning will also make the lineups of the two teams more neat, which will make the peak matchup two weeks later more interesting and exciting.

In addition to the competition for promotion to the Champions League in the next round, another highlight is Mourinho's return to the Premier League. This is also the first time he has returned to the Premier League since he left Chelsea the year before last, so it is also of special significance.

And fans can relive the passionate PK between Ferguson and Mourinho on the sidelines during the "Red and Blue War" in the Premier League. For a madman who can always create surprises, he will naturally not miss this opportunity.

But the old-fashioned Ferguson must do his best to prevent Mourinho from getting what he wanted in the Theater of Dreams.

Zhu Hantao, who scored the only goal of the game to decide the outcome of the game, unceremoniously approached Cristiano Ronaldo after the game.

"Hello, can I exchange jerseys with you, I am your fan, I grew up watching you play football."

Xiao Luo, who was only in his early twenties this year, looked at the not-yet-full little guy in front of him dumbfounded. "Okay, why not?"

In this way, after Zhu Hantao happily scored a wonderful goal against Manchester United, he also won a very commemorative Red Devils No. 7 jersey worn by Ronaldo in the last season of Manchester United.

"Hey," just as Zhu Hantao turned around and was about to leave to go back to the locker room, the Portuguese stopped him, "When we get back to the home court, we will give you a good look!"

Who doesn't know how to speak harshly, "Then let's wait and see!"
