Football irons are burning

Chapter 334 Reaching the Top 4 of the Champions League

Chapter 334 Reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League

More than ten days later, Li Tie returned to Manchester.

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is in full swing, Manchester United vs. Barcelona at home.

In the 30th round of the previous league, Manchester United was tied 0:0 by Villa due to the absence of Li Tie, and the points lead was reduced to 10 points.

Without Li Tie, Manchester United would not be able to play football again. Aston Villa's strength is medium, and this point is still a bit aggrieved.

Fortunately, Li Tie will not be suspended for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

After the match day came, players from both sides came out, and what greeted them was a scene like a roaring tsunami at Old Trafford.

Manchester United's formation is a 4-4-2 balanced formation. Li Tie continues to stand in front, and he needs to use goals to solve his opponents.

Saha, who was introduced during the winter break, also started the game, replacing Scholes, who had muscle spasms, as the attacking midfielder. In fact, he and Li Tie can switch positions.

After the game started, Li Tie also quickly entered the state.

After more than ten days of rest, Li Tie's physical condition is even better.

In the 6th minute, Li Tie suddenly took a long shot after passing Deco and Harvey in the frontcourt, and the ball flew out against the crossbar.

Two minutes later, it was Li Tie's long shot again, this time from a slightly off angle.

Two consecutive long shots made Barcelona's defense no longer dare to press forward.

In the 13th minute, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball in the front court and was cut off by Fletcher. Fletcher then drove to the left with a big foot. Giggs came up to get the ball first, and then forced a pass from the bottom.

After Dong Fangzhuo saw Li Tie's position in the middle, he suddenly exerted force from his waist and abdomen, and pushed the ball to the top of the penalty area.

Li Tiefei volleyed with one foot. Now, Barcelona goalkeeper Rustu had no choice but to watch the ball hit the net, 1:0!

The Old Trafford stadium was crazy, the powerful shock wave almost destroyed the stands.

Li Tie jumped onto the billboard excitedly, cheering with all his arms.

This goal released his depression during this period, and the goal was also very beautiful.

Suspension is definitely not a good thing for players, and they will not be in a happy mood. In addition, when Li Tie went to the hospital, he was even more depressed when he saw those patients.

Therefore, this goal suddenly made Li Tie release all these things.

If you hold it in for a long time, it is easy to hold it back.

After he jumped down, his teammates also came over and congratulated him one after another.

On the sidelines, Keane and Cantona knelt down to celebrate excitedly. Queiroz calmed down slightly, but his eyes were also a little moist.

Li Tie has not been overwhelmed by the suspension, and his state is still the same, which is enough.

In the box in the stands, Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, ​​sighed again. It seems that Barcelona will die in the hands of Li Tie again today.

He has proposed to the club management to introduce Li Tie more than once, but they have been ignored.

If Li Tie is in Barcelona, ​​why worry about these things?

"His contract is for three years. After three years, it should be Barcelona's turn, right?" Cruyff thought to himself.

According to Li Tie's career pattern, the average time spent in a country is about 3 years.

Cruyff is fantasizing about bringing Li Tie to Camp Nou three years later.

At that time, Li Tie will only be 29 years old, and he will still be in the normal state of a professional player.

The game continues.

Barcelona, ​​which was behind, naturally launched another onslaught.

Ronaldinho continued to be the engine of the team, but Manchester United's defense today was stronger than in the first round.

Coupled with the home court advantage, Manchester United played more calmly.

In the 19th minute, Ronaldinho was intercepted by Fletcher again. He was still complaining on the ground, but Fletcher had already made another through pass.

Dong Fangzhuo's frontcourt speed advantage was brought into play. Li Datou's physical confrontation didn't work this time either.

Saha is also holding his head, making emoticons there.

Because of the injuries of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Forlan, Saha had the chance to play, but he still missed such a good opportunity.

It seems that he will not become a real striker.

On the sidelines, Queiroz is also regretful.

Five minutes later, Ronaldinho took a long shot from the frontcourt and Neuer got the ball. Neuer then kicked it out with a big kick, and the ball found Dong Fangzhuo accurately again.

After Dong Fangzhuo stopped the ball, he slammed his foot and staggered Li Datou. In the duel between the two, Dong Fangzhuo once again gained the upper hand.

Afterwards, Dong Fangzhuo just volleyed, and the ball went straight into the dead corner, 2:0!

The direct connection between the goalkeeper and the striker can actually create a goal.

Neuer is here, cheering happily.

Dong Fangzhuo also ran over and hugged him.

Several people of the same age played really well and had a good relationship.

This is the future of Manchester United.

The fans at the scene naturally cheered again, leading by two goals, the prospects of the team's promotion are bright.

The game was completely controlled by Manchester United.

After leading by two goals, Manchester United played more and more chicly, completely putting on a defensive posture.

This is a great test for Barcelona.

Although they are still working hard, they really have no good way to face Manchester United's defense.

Relying on Ronaldinho's single-player will not work, relying on crosses from both wings is still useless, and relying on long-range shots will not work.

Halftime score, 2:0, Manchester United lead.

After the start of the second half, Barcelona replaced a striker Saviola and counterattacked with all their strength.

But at this time, their defense did not do a good job.

In the 69th minute, Fletcher stole the ball again, and his stealing efficiency in this game was extremely high.

Then Fletcher quickly handed the ball to Li Tie, and Li Tie passed the ball directly, throwing off Harvey who was intercepting him.

At this time, everyone was paying attention to Li Tie, but Dong Fangzhuo missed it, Li Tie went straight, Dong Fangzhuo went into the penalty area, passed Lu Situ and scored an empty goal, 3:0!

The trend is over!

The old Trafford stadium was full of singing, and the fans were celebrating the team's reaching the semi-finals.

The fans of the visiting team were dead silent.

All attention was paid to Li Tie for this ball, thinking that he was going to force a breakthrough, but who knew he passed the ball again.

It is really difficult to meet such an opponent.

He can pass, shoot, and dash, so how can he defend him?

Li Tie undoubtedly integrated his personal abilities into the team and brought Manchester United to life.

In the past, Manchester United was not weak in strength, but it lacked the core of Li Tie.

Now Manchester United, which is a great example of football as a whole.

In terms of efficiency, it is definitely No1!

Three goals behind, the Barcelona players became more impatient.

In the 71st minute, Saviola cooperated with Ronaldinho in the frontcourt, but made a mistake when he got the ball. After being intercepted by Pepe, he kicked Pepe from behind and got a yellow card.

Five minutes later, Saviola's volley to catch the ball in the penalty area was blocked. As a result, he pulled the forward Zhang Heizi to the ground, got a Chapter 5 yellow card and was sent off.

He came up and didn't kick in for 10 minutes.

The blow to Barcelona was very obvious, and then Barcelona gave up the game.

In the end, Manchester United defeated their opponents 3:0 in this game, eliminated Barcelona 3:0 in two rounds, and entered the semi-finals.

After the game, Rijkaard had no excuses this time, he was convinced of the loss and admired Manchester United's offensive efficiency.

Queiroz is also satisfied with the team's performance and believes that he has basically completed the tasks assigned by Ferguson.

The old man has completed heart bypass surgery and is recuperating in the Scottish countryside.

Not surprisingly, he will definitely not come back this season. If Manchester United's results are good, he is likely to retire here, and at most he will serve as a consultant for Manchester United.
