Scholes is the core of their midfield. Scholes is a golden generation player of Manchester United. His avant-garde performance has been quite steady and he has been the main force of Manchester United midfield in the past decade. He is 3 years old and in good shape. He made seven starts, 11 assists and 5 goals in the season, and is a very important player in Manchester United midfield.
Now it is difficult for Ronaldo to shake Scholes’ position, because Ronaldo can play on the wing and Scholes is the core of midfield.
Scholes has no doubt.
Although his skill is not as good as Totti’s, his body is stronger and more impactful. Every time Scholes goes forward, he can pose a threat to Rome’s defense. He can not only play the ball, but also has a good long-range shot. Up to now, he has had two long-range shots, one of which hit the doorframe.
This time when Scholes handed the ball to Ronaldo, he came forward again.
Ronaldo caught the ball and shook it open. The Roman full-back took a look at the penalty area and went straight to the foot.
Rooney is in the penalty area!
When the football flew over, Rooney rushed forward to meet the ball. He didn’t choose to shoot, but the head was given to the left side to insert Scholes. No one expected Rooney to choose the ball. When Scholes received the ball, there were few defenders around him.
Scholes doesn’t stop the ball and volleys directly!
Bang!
Pelizzo Regan, the goalkeeper who scored the goal in Rome, didn’t respond.
……
"Paul-"
"-Scholes-"Old Trafford Stadium suddenly boiled!
In the 37th minute, Scholes volleyed to help Manchester United equalize the score. Alfie also sincerely praised this: "Nice volleying! Scholes is thirty years old, but he is still a United general! He helped Manchester United equalize the score! "
"When Rooney jumped up, no one thought he would play. Rooney has been at Manchester United for less than a season, but it seems that he and his teammates have cooperated very well."
"This goal is very important for Manchester United. Manchester United has always dominated the game, but the score disadvantage can easily put pressure on the players, but now they are not worried. Manchester United equalized the score and they will be much easier to play in the next game."
Alfie commented that it was subtle.
Other English commentators are very direct. When they think that the next game will be Manchester United, Manchester United has performed strongly before, so Rome will not have a chance.
"Roma are lucky to score a goal. They are lucky."
"It depends on how many goals Manchester United can score when it comes to Manchester United."
It’s very successful for Roma to score an away goal. It’s still difficult for them to keep the goal, but they still have a chance if they don’t concede too many goals.
"Manchester United fans can feel at ease."
The camera pointed at the Manchester United coach’s seat and saw the manager Ferguson’s face with a faint smile. It was easy to watch the game. Judging from the expression on his face, the old jazz’s views were almost the same as those of these commentators. It should belong to Manchester United
But Roma players don’t think so.
Manchester United are playing well, but they are not without a chance. For example, Zhang Tiehan is also thinking about the game and what to do to get a chance to score.
Manchester United’s defense is very solid, and it is not easy to find opportunities in the advancement. As soon as he arrives in the frontcourt, there will be special defenders to keep an eye on him, and some of them will not be able to play well, not to mention that Rome does not have an advantage in midfield, and teammates can give little support to the frontcourt.
Then a bet chance is to fight back.
Defensive counterattack?
Maybe … but at least we have to get through the half-court.
When the game started again, Zhang Tiehan also went back to the backcourt to defend. He knew what he needed to do now, that is, to defend hard and try to drag the score to halftime, and they had a better chance.
There is a piece of man of iron’s defense in the backcourt in Rome is much more stable, but the attack in Manchester United is still full of dangers. Fortunately, the Roman players tried to resolve the dangerous situation several times before holding the goal.
Time passes slowly.
Finally, with the whistle of the referee, when the two teams entered the halftime, all the Roman players took a long breath. The game just now was too hard for them to continue.
Chapter two hundred and thirty-two What is this?
Visiting locker room at Old Trafford Stadium
At halftime, Roman players came in one after another outside the door. Most of them looked tired. They didn’t talk about the interest in the game. It was to quietly find a place to sit and rest and see the faces of everyone, and they knew that they were really tired.
Half-court games are really tough for them.
The first goal in the opening game is a wonderful beginning, but it is also the beginning. When the two teams are on the right track, every player can feel the gap between them and Manchester United. The gap is absolute. It is difficult for the away team to be passive enough to fight back.
This is the Champions League, and this is the top team in the Champions League.
It is much more difficult to play against Manchester United than against a strong team in the national league, such as Milan A. They have a lot of experience in playing against a strong team in Rome. They know their opponents’ strengths and weaknesses, and the strength gap will also put them in a passive position, but there will be no situation of not fighting back.
Manchester United is different
Manchester United is an English team, and this is the home of Manchester United. They don’t know what weaknesses Manchester United has, and they don’t have the experience of playing against English teams in Otawa. When the team is passive, many people don’t know what to do. They can try their best to defend Manchester United from finding good opportunities.
Blindly defending is also the reason why Roman players are tired.
Not only are they physically and mentally exhausted, but some people are also discussing the game, such as Zhang Tiehan, who is saying to Totti, "They are not good, so we should take advantage of our feet."
Others don’t know Manchester United, but Zhang Tiehan knows very well that the only advantage of Rome compared with Manchester United is that the overall skills of the team are more delicate, which is also the advantage of Italian football over English football. Even Manchester United, their players, including Rooney and other stars, are not very delicate in their feet. For example, Scholes and others are much worse than Totti, except of course Portuguese players like Ronaldo.
Rome is also special … For example, Zhang Tiehan’s own technology is even less delicate.
On the whole, Rome still has an advantage in foot skills, except for Totti Montera and Mancini.
But it’s not clear how to benefit Zhang Tiehan. It’s a coach’s business, and he just talks about it …
Soon head coach Drier also walked into the locker room.
Everyone in the dressing room looked over and they hoped Drill could tell them what to do at half-time.
……
The atmosphere of Manchester United players in the dressing room of the home team is good
Some of them were talking about the half-court game, others were sitting on the side and resting, but everyone was in good spirits, which was the opposite of the atmosphere in Rome.
Although the half-time game was 1:1, the situation of the two teams was completely different.
Manchester United attacked a half-court, Rome defended a half-court, especially in the second half of the half-court, Manchester United almost gained the advantage of the situation, and their defenders were all afraid of Rome’s counterattack and there was no chance.
This situation makes them relaxed.
Even at halftime, they were happy that they all had confidence in the half-time and the game.
There are also special ones, such as Ronaldo.
The goal conceded at half-time was a big deal to Ronaldo, and he was a little uneasy. He was still afraid of coach Ferguson, who was worried that Ferguson would be dissatisfied with his performance and changed him.
