Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney stood in the arc of their own half and looked at each other.
They could see a trace of despair in each other's eyes.
As the cheers in the stands grew louder, Cristiano Ronaldo's fists clenched tighter and tighter.
He refused to just accept his fate.
He could lose the game, but he couldn't lose so cowardly.
He knows that the jersey number he wears represents an honor.
The legendary Manchester United number seven In particular, this game was recognized by the European mainstream media as the competition for the best young talents in Europe this year, so he did not want to admit defeat even more.
We won the last game at home, so we have to win this game on the road as well.
Rooney naturally also noticed the changes in Cristiano Ronaldo.
The two have been friends for nearly two years, and they understand each other's tempers quite well.
They are both players who refuse to admit defeat.
He knows that Cristiano Ronaldo secretly wants to surpass Ai Luo, which can be seen from the seriousness of his usual training.
From the previous free kick training to the current gym, every time I have to exert the highest load on my body before stopping.
How much perseverance is required?
Finally, he also came to the conclusion for himself that he could not lose.
Counting the kick-off at the beginning of the first half, this was Cristiano Ronaldo's third kick-off in the first half, so he was holding back his breath.
Be sure to score a goal in the remaining time of the first half, and then the trouble will be left to the Valencians But his thinking is obviously a bit overthinking.
Now Manchester United's front and backcourts are not unified in their thinking.
The defensive players in the back line hope not to lose the ball again, while the players in the forward line want to score a goal and regain the game.
Disadvantages.
The disunity of ideas on the court almost allowed Valencia to seize the opportunity to score another goal.
Fortunately, Rio Ferdinand appeared in the key position at the critical moment and blocked Ai Luo's inevitable goal opportunity when he broke into the penalty area. .
Ai Luo missed the perfect opportunity and held his head in pain.
It took a while before he came back to his senses.
If that goal had been scored, then Valencia would have been at least invincible in this game.
As Aiello's must-goal was destroyed by Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United's players became more and more defensive, so Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney gradually fell into a one-on-one fight.
Ferguson stood on the sidelines and roared at the players on the court more than once or twice, but the effect was not very great.
In the end, he simply sat on the coaching bench.
Fortunately, Manchester United's defense was very focused during this period, and it seemed that the two goals conceded had a huge impact on them.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the first half.
With the referee's whistle, the first half of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 18th final came to an end.
The fifteen-minute break passed quickly.
During this time, both the fans in the stands and the commentators in the studio were commenting on the performance of both sides in the first half.
Valencia's performance in the first half was widely recognized.
At the same time, he also expressed his surprise at Manchester United's performance in the first half.
The team coached by Ferguson has always been known for its stability.
Although Manchester United's league ranking this season is still behind Chelsea, the points behind are not many.
It is worth mentioning that the two teams and the third-place team have a double-digit point difference.
This is enough to show the horror of this Manchester United.
But the performance of this game was shocking.
However, after the second half, Manchester United seemed to return to normal.
Both the defensive and offensive ends became much more stable, and there was no impatience like the first half.
It seems that during the halftime break, Ferguson's hair dryer was often used to change the hairstyle.
In the second half, the game changed sides and Valencia took advantage of the kick-off to continue to control the rhythm of the field.
But will Manchester United allow it?

no It is no exaggeration to say that the Premier League's game rhythm is the fastest in the world.
Super physical confrontation, constant accelerating running back and forth, every player's nerves are tense and they dare not relax at all.
This is the case with Manchester United now.
Because Manchester United now has no retreat.
If the game ends with this score, Manchester United will be eliminated at the disadvantage of away goals.
Even if there will be a direct confrontation with Chelsea coached by Mourinho at Stamford Bridge this weekend The whole team ran without hesitation, causing the tempo on the field to suddenly speed up, and the speeding up of the tempo also forced Valencia's passing speed to speed up, but the faster passing speed will inevitably make the pass successful. rate dropped rapidly.
You must know that Barcelona's players will also make frequent mistakes due to Chelsea's crazy pressing, not to mention Valencia's passing and control ability is not as good as Barcelona's.
"In the second half, Manchester United suddenly accelerated the pace of the game and ran without hesitation, which indirectly caused the home team's passing success rate to decrease rapidly.
If Flores can't find a way to deal with it, then this game will happen again.
There is no suspense.
Manchester United is the team that has won the most Premier League championships in the history of the Premier League.
Their ability to adapt to this ultra-fast pace of the game is obviously much better than Valencia, so" Huang Jianxiang watched the development of the situation on the field and explained worriedly.
In fact, Flores is also worried.
The pace of La Liga is far not as fast as that of the Premier League.
La Liga emphasizes a combination of speed and slowness, and more time is spent on passing and controlling.
According to a data survey by French Football last year Look, the Premier League is the fastest-paced league in the world, bar none.
Manchester United is going to use fast pace to defeat Valencia Looking at the situation on the court, Ferguson rarely smiled after the game started.
The director of the Mestalla Stadium had a sharp eye and captured this moment.
"I haven't seen Sir Alex Ferguson's smile for a long time.
It seems that this game should not be a big problem.
As long as Manchester United scores a goal in this game, then this game will be over.
If the home team wants to advance, then We need to score two goals in a row, but we have to watch out for Manchester United’s goals during this period.”
Sky TV's commentator explained.
It has been about twenty minutes since the start of the second half, and the pace on the court is still so fast.
The players of the home team Valencia have persisted in this fast-paced game for such a long time.
Fortunately, Manchester United did not score a goal. ball, but the price paid was three yellow cards and frequent mistakes.
In addition, goalkeeper Canizares was in excellent form today and saved at least two must-goals for Manchester United during this period, one of which was a single goal from Cristiano Ronaldo.
At this time, seeing that the team has not scored a goal, Ferguson is no longer as relaxed as he was at the beginning of the second half.
He failed to score two must-goals in a row, which will inevitably affect the mentality of the players.
Indeed.
When they missed two must-goals, they became impatient.
It was no longer as orderly an attack as it was after the start of the second half, but became more direct.
Scholes, Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo are already trying long-range shots.
Ai Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
The team did not lose the ball during this fast-paced game, which made him feel quite good.
In fact, during this period of time, he had several opportunities to come back as a central defender during the opponent's corner kicks.
Not to mention how frustrating that feeling was, the continuous pressure made his nerves tense all the time, and he did not dare to make any move. slack off.
As his status in the team increased, it also came with a sense of responsibility, so in this game he willingly returned to his own penalty area and participated in his own defense.
Flores shook his head subconsciously.
Although Ai Luo's active defense has brought invisible help to the team, it has also reduced the team's counterattack.
It is still a bit difficult to rely on Vicente and David Villa alone.
The combination of speed and technology between the two of them is not as perfect as Aiello.
When counterattacking with the ball, the speed will inevitably be reduced, but Aiello is different.
He feels that he has no impact.
Ouch, ouch, ouch At this moment, there was a burst of exclamation from the stands.

Flores's thoughts were interrupted and his attention returned to the court.
Unknowingly, the time has reached the 80th minute of the game.
Seeing that the game time is running out, Manchester United's offensive players have become more impatient, and this impatience also makes them more direct.
Frequent long shots and low crosses waste a lot of opportunities.
Ferguson had already replaced Park Ji-sung with Saha to strengthen the number of attackers in the frontcourt.
And this time, as usual, Giggs dribbled the ball from the left and then glanced at the penalty area.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Saha and Rooney all rushed into the penalty area, preparing to grab points.
Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly stopped and flashed under Marchena's close defense, and then ran towards the penalty spot before the latter could react.
At this moment, Giggs' cross arrived. here.
Marchena had just reacted and was about to defend, but his forward path was blocked by someone, and his forward body stagnated.
At the same time, the cross from the left also flew over, and Marchena also lost the best defensive opportunity.
He could only stand there and watch Cristiano Ronaldo leap high without being marked.
The home team fans in the stands held their breath.
The Manchester United No. 7 jumped high without being marked.
This was a very dangerous signal.
Even Aiello, who was standing at the edge of the penalty area, could clearly see Cristiano Ronaldo's focused expression after jumping up.
He only had football in his eyes.
Twist your waist and shake your head, a standard lion's head shake The football changed direction and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Canizares' head turned in the direction of the football, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the spot.
At this moment, it seemed as if the air had solidified, making it impossible to breathe.
Some fans in the stands were pulling their hair with both hands or closing their eyes, as if they didn't want to watch what happened next.
But there are also some fans who are praying to God: Don’t enter Because if this goal is scored, then the victory will be tilted towards the away team Manchester United.
The excited Ferguson clenched his fists and raised them high as if to celebrate a goal.
But will this goal be scored?
