Roma gained a one-goal advantage in the first half, and in the last round, Roma had two away goals. Manchester United wanted to win Roma, but they had to score two goals to defeat Roma. This situation was very beneficial to Roma. Roma fans and Italian reporters were very optimistic about Roma. During the break, they were discussing the game.

Many commentators also believe that Rome has a great chance.

"If Manchester United wants to eliminate Roma, they must score two goals in the second half, and they cannot let Roma score another goal. This is a bit difficult for Manchester United. Even if they have the advantage of their strength, it is not easy to break the Roma goal in this stadium."

Many people support this statement. After all, Manchester United also had the advantage in the first half, but they did not score. From a lucky point of view, Manchester United also shot a goal post, as if God was standing behind Rome.

But it is undeniable that Manchester United's offense is very threatening.

In contrast, Roma is better at seizing opportunities rather than attacking and counterattacking, because they have Zhang Tiehan, who performed too well, so Roma can lead Manchester United.

Manchester United still performed well.

"Manchester United also has a chance, as long as they can score goals as soon as possible..." The English media held this view.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United also started their offense. Manchester United's offense was very high, even higher than the first half. It was obvious that they wanted to find a chance to score as soon as possible at the beginning of the game.

But Rome has its own response.

During the halftime break, Drinel kept emphasizing defense, and also said that Manchester United will definitely attack more fiercely in the second half, especially at the beginning, which is the time of the most mistakes and Manchester United has the most opportunities, and Manchester United's style of play is foreseeable because they have no other choice.

Sure enough, Manchester United was at the beginning of the game and the Roma players quickly shrank their defense and prepared to welcome Manchester United's attack wave after wave.

With Rome's persistence, it is not easy for Manchester United to find a good opportunity.

This made Ferguson, who was watching the game in the coach's seat, felt a headache. Manchester United had the advantage of strength, but now the initiative is no longer in Manchester United's hands. Now they can control the ball, but they cannot control the score. As long as they are behind, the only choice is to attack. This is equivalent to giving the initiative to Roma. Roma defends if he wants to defend, and fight back if he wants to counter, and they can play no matter how he plays.

Manchester United takes the initiative, and the only option is to score a goal as soon as possible.

But it is not just the offense that has a headache for Ferguson. In terms of defense, the opponent's No. 13, that is, Zhang Tiehan, still poses a lot of threats to Manchester United's defense line, especially now that Sylvester often has to assist, and Ferdinand is a little unstable to defend Zhang Tiehan alone.

For Zhang Tiehan's defense, Manchester United sacrificed a Ferdinand and could not achieve complete restrictions at all, which made Ferguson even more trouble.

Looking at the tall figure who was active in the half, Old Ferguson really regretted it... If he were still a member of Manchester United, the opponent would be the one who was troubled now, not himself. Moreover, Manchester United would not play to this point. 400,000 euros were exchanged for a big enemy, and even directly affected Manchester United's Champions League. This is not worth it.

Compared to Stam, Zhang Tiehan's deal is the most failed.

Ferguson had a premonition that Zhang Tiehan would become the biggest stain in his coaching career. But Ferguson thought about it and felt that he had no choice. At that time, it was not that he had no idea. Zhang Tiehan, an ordinary youth team player, had a conflict with C-Ronaldo who had just transferred to Manchester United, and even fought on the court. Not to mention the reasons, he must support C-Ronaldo. C-Ronaldo has just come to Manchester United, and he must appease the new players, especially the big star in his heart for the future Manchester United.

And what about this tall man at that time?

He came from Manchester United's youth training camp and had no performance for a long time. Naturally, he did not take it to Ferguson's eyes. For the sake of the team's stability, he had to sell him.

But... why sell it? Just rent it out.

"I'm so old, I always like to think about the past." Ferguson hurriedly shook his head and paid attention to the game again. After all, those things were things in the past. No matter what the reason was, they had already happened, and what had happened was irreversible.

...

On the court.

Manchester United began to attack with all their might. They wanted to score two goals, but now they haven't scored a single goal. They must try to score one goal first, otherwise as time goes by, they will have no chance at all.

Manchester United fought!

The midfielder was inserted, the wing forward was inserted, and the defender was inserted, and all the players arrived at the frontcourt, forming a circle of encirclement in Roma's half. Even if the football was grabbed by Roma, they would grab it back as soon as possible and then go to the offense.

Such continuous attacks put a lot of pressure on Roma's defense, and Roma's defense line seemed precarious. Ronaldo, Rooney, Van Nicht, Scholes and even captain Roy Keane were all near the penalty area. As long as they found an opportunity, they would shoot for the last shot. They shot continuously. In just ten minutes of the second half, Manchester United had eight shots.

Under this pressure, there was no cheer in the audience, and the fans stared at the game without blinking, as if they were afraid that their goal would be broken in a blink of an eye.

They no longer have hope for the team to fight back, they only hope that the team can defend the goal.d

But there will always be loopholes in the continuous defense. In the 61st minute, Rooney received a pass from C Ronaldo. After making a two-pass and one-on-one cooperation with Roy Keane, he kicked the ball directly into the penalty area. Van Nie received the ball and shook it in the penalty area. Suddenly, he turned around and kicked the ball into Roma's goal.

The goal came very suddenly, and goalkeeper Pellizoli did not react at all.

It was not until the football flew into the goal that he subconsciously looked back and saw that the football was already rolling in the goal. The Olympic Stadium in Rome also exclaimed with the goal.

"Oh... the ball, the ball has entered!"

"Van Nie!"

"Van Nistroy"

Finally, the English commentator, who had been frustrated for a game, could finally yell. He shouted Van Nie's name, as if he was excited about Van Nie's performance.

"Van Nie, he equalized the score for Manchester United! This was a direct shot, but it was a sudden cold shot. He made a shaking move and deceived the Roma defensive player, and then Van Nie sent the ball into the goal with one kick!"

...

After Manchester United equalized the score, they did not celebrate the goal happily. Van Nie immediately ran into the Roma goal and held the ball to the center circle, urging them to restart.

For Manchester United, there is no time to waste it on celebration.

Although they scored one goal, Roma actually has the advantage. Now the two teams are fighting 3:3 in two rounds, but Roma has two away goals, and Manchester United only has one. If the game ends, Roma will eliminate Manchester United and make it close to the quarterfinals. If Manchester United wants to eliminate Roma, they must score another goal. At that time, they have the advantage of the score and will naturally advance smoothly.

The game started again soon.

At this time, the mentality of the two teams was different again. During the halftime break, Roma was relaxed because they had a great advantage. Manchester United had to score two goals to eliminate them. With such a big advantage in hand, they were naturally very relaxed. But now it is different. Manchester United scored a goal. The time has just passed sixty minutes, and there are still thirty minutes to play. Roma is unstable at this time.

It's not difficult for Manchester United to score another goal in 30 minutes.

The media also know this, and the English commentator said, "Roma is now worried about how they hold the goal..."

The Italian commentator is also worried about Roma. After all, there are still thirty minutes left... As long as Manchester United scores another goal, the situation between the two teams will immediately reverse.

The Roman fans in the audience were also very worried. They had no joy on their faces. They just watched the game with concern and shouted loudly to cheer for the team. The voices of 100,000 people resounded throughout the Olympic Stadium in Rome. They shouted wildly, singing the Roman team songs wildly, trying their best to do everything they could, hoping to help Rome.

The voices of 100,000 people were moved by the players who were used to big scenes on the court.

"These Roma fans are crazy..." After a pass, Rooney sighed that he is also a world-class star, but he has only experienced Everton. He has less than a season at Manchester United and is also the first time he has participated in the Champions League. The voices of 100,000 people are still a bit shocking to him.

"If you have the chance to go to Camp Nou, you will be even more shocked." Scholes, who was running beside him, smiled, "It's better to care about the game, it's just Rome."

Rooney nodded, "Yes, it's just Rome."

During the halftime break, Manchester United really didn't have much fighting spirit. After all, the gap between the two goals was a bit big, but now they scored one goal, they felt that it was nothing to score another one. Now they all have high fighting spirit and work hard for the team's victory.

At the same time, Zhang Tiehan also worked hard.

He was almost intrigued with Ferdinand, competing for the ball, grabbing the position, dribbling the ball vs, etc. He didn't know how many times the two had confronted each other. In the situation of Manchester United's massive attack, the confrontation between them was not eye-catching, but the two did not shed less sweat than others.

For Zhang Tiehan, Ferdinand is really a difficult opponent, much more difficult than Sylvester. If it weren't for Ferdinand, he wouldn't have had few opportunities in the whole game.

Conversely, for Ferdinand, defending Zhang Tiehan is definitely one of the heavyweight challenges he has ever been in since he became a defender. It is difficult for him to do well with all his strength. The game has only been going on for more than 60 minutes, but he already feels that his energy is a little exhausted.

This guy... is really much better than Rooney!

Even better than Van Nie!

This is Ferdinand's feeling. As a world-class central defender, his evaluation of a forward, especially a center, is definitely important. At Manchester United club, Ferdinand and Van Ni and Rooney have all confronted each other. They are teammates, but in training, they will also be opponents.

But Ferdinand felt that it was really much more difficult to defend Zhang Tiehan than to defend others.

Just this guy occasionally hit his shoulder, and he couldn't stand it anymore. After the game for more than 60 minutes, he and Zhang Tiehan collided with him for countless times. He felt that after the game, he needed to have a full-body massage examination, otherwise it would be bad if he left the injury... He said that now, his right shoulder is a little numb.

...

For Ferdinand, the best time is that football is controlled by Manchester United, and his teammates are constantly passing and attacking. At this time, he only needs to follow Zhang Tiehan, and there will be no confrontation between the two.

For example, now, Manchester United is attacking.

c-Ronaldo and Giggs, who came on as a substitute in the second half, inserted the ball from both wings. The ball was temporarily under the feet of captain Roy Keane. He had just made two passes with Rooney. But he couldn't find a chance, and he could only pass back, and the ball came to his feet again.

Roy Keane scanned the frontcourt and finally passed the ball to C-Ronaldo on the wing.

c-Ronaldo's skills under his feet are quite gorgeous. Even when he arrived at the Rome Olympic Stadium, he dared to drive the ball forward. He played several times and after getting the ball, c-Ronaldo quickly started the attack and suddenly turned inward and towards the middle when facing defense.

With enough defense, C-Ronaldo pushed the ball forward.

Scholes kept up and shot directly!

The football was saved by Pelizzoli, but it bounced into the penalty area. Van Nie suddenly rushed out and wanted to shoot, but Ferrari broke the ball out of the penalty area first. Scholes got the ball again, and he wanted to shoot, but the route was blocked, and the ball was stabbed by Zivo and reached Casano's feet.

The audience's exclamations in the stands finally subsided.

Roma temporarily resolved the crisis and launched a quick counterattack. Casano passed the ball to Mancini who had just run forward. Mancini did not dribble the ball himself. Instead, he passed it forward to Toti.

Passing the ball with three or two feet, the football has reached the center line.

At the same time, Ferdinand began to feel sad again because Zhang Tiehan was running forward and he wanted to compete for the position with Zhang Tiehan. The two of them were running while squeezing each other. Although the ball was still behind, the confrontation between them had already begun.

Rome's counterattack was quite fast.

The football didn't stay at Toti's feet for a long time, so he crossed and transferred to Casano who followed. Casano had to lead the ball forward and shook Sylvester back to defend, but his starting speed was slower by a beat. As a result, he couldn't get rid of Sylvester, so he could only transfer it to Toti.

After two or three crosses, Manchester United players have retreated to the center line.

Totti knew that he would not have a chance to delay this attack. He looked forward and saw Zhang Tiehan. He was running forward and even approaching Manchester United's penalty area line.

Totti did not hesitate, and drove the ball forward with one kick.

The football flew into the air, rose high and fell straight into the penalty area.

Such a pass is generally ineffective, and it is no different from a shot. If the goal is ten meters in advance, this kick can be considered a shot, but the position is a bit off the left side. Goalkeeper Carol hesitated but still did not attack. He felt that the ball might have to go out of the baseline.

But when he turned around, he saw Zhang Tiehan and Ferdinand running towards the ball.

Carol was shocked.

If ordinary people were not concerned, but Zhang Tiehan... He still remembered Zhang Tiehan's last goal, a header and a long shot. Ferguson also repeatedly emphasized the need to pay attention to Zhang Tiehan. Although this ball seemed to be not very threatening, Carol was still much more cautious.

Finally, Zhang Tiehan ran to the ball landing point, and Ferdinand hurriedly followed.
To be continued...
