298 The Battle!

Old Trafford was star-studded on the night of the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. Manchester United, as a traditional giant, naturally attracted much attention when facing European upstart Paris Saint-Germain, while Manchester United inevitably had a bit of arrogance.

Whether in terms of historical background or team experience, Paris Saint-Germain has been unknown in the past decade of the top European stage, while Manchester United is one of the well-deserved protagonists.

In the stadium, Tang Hong shook hands with the Paris Saint-Germain starter before the game and felt incredible.

Just over a year later, the lineup changes in Paris Saint-Germain's two seasons were completely overturned.

The opponents he still remembers, Mene, Galmero, Junior Captain Sacco and other players, were all sitting on the bench, and there was only one of them in the starting lineup, Pastore's face when they met last season.

When Beckham shook hands with Tang Hong, the other party gently stroked Tang Hong's cheek. This seemed to be a kind move, but Tang Hong felt like he was being teased.

It is obvious that there are Red Devils fans in the stands cheering for Beckham, but the scene is not as enthusiastic as when Cristiano Ronaldo "goes home".

After all, he had already come back once three years ago.

Tang Hong was also deeply surprised by the arrangement of fate.

This season he has played against Manchester United in succession of two legends No. 7 in the past fifteen years!

The media will call it a legendary heritage.

After taking a group photo before the game, the two teams set up their formation to prepare for the battle.

The highly-watched Tang Hong also happened to have a bit of a match against Beckham today, which also made audiences all over the world look forward to it.

"Good evening for everyone, everyone, welcome to the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in 2012-2013, with the Red Devils Manchester United facing Paris Saint-Germain!

Manchester United is famous all over the world and has been a popular team in the Champions League in the past 20 years. However, Paris Saint-Germain has entered the Champions League for the first time in the history of the team, which can be said to have set a new record in the team history.

It seems another Chelsea, Manchester City is rising in European football!

If you only look at the Paris Saint-Germain lineup, you won't be surprised by the achievements they have achieved!

However, it is definitely not easy to pass Manchester United in the quarterfinals. In the last round of 16, Manchester United defeated Real Madrid at home and away, which already conveyed a clear signal to European giants that they are definitely not easy to mess with in the Champions League this season!

Check out the starting lineups of both sides.

Manchester United started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.

Midfielder: Phil Jones, Shinji Kagawa, Carrick.

Forwards: Van Persie, Rooney, Tang Hong.

Paris Saint-Germain's starter was also 433.

Goalkeeper: Xiligu.

Defenders: Yale, Thiago Silva, Alles, Marcos Will.

Midfielders: Beckham, Pastorre, Matuidi.

Forwards: Lucas, Ibrahimovic, Ravic.

The lineups of both teams are extremely luxurious. Even though Paris Saint-Germain is still difficult to be recognized by the whole world as a wealthy club, this is definitely a heavyweight and powerful dialogue!

Let’s enjoy the game together and see if this game will be a collision between Mars and Earth!”

Ancelotti stood on the sidelines to supervise the game, but Ferguson sat on the coach's seat chewing gum, as if showing a psychological advantage in his posture.

Not to mention that Ferguson and Ancelotti also had a confrontation in the Premier League, the Miracle of Camp Nou that the world remembered in 1999 was Manchester United's shocking reversal of Bayern Munich, but what about the semi-finals before that?

Manchester United also staged a shocking reversal!

The opponent is Juventus, and the Juventus coach was Ancelotti. It was also from that time that Ancelotti had the attribute of being shockingly reversed, with Manchester United in front and La Coruña in the back, and the most sensational one was the Miracle of Istanbul!

Ferguson's confrontation with this old opponent is also a global focus.

The game officially began with the referee's whistle.

Paris Saint-Germain, who took the lead in kicking off, was not at all nervous. With Ancelotti's Italian coach, if Manchester United hadn't had many flaws in the defense line this season, they would probably not have set up a three-forward formation in the away game. The purpose is obvious, and what they want is a away goal!

Pastorre passed the ball to Beckham's feet in the backcourt, and Beckham, who had wrinkles on his face, made a long pass on the spot.

The football flew accurately to the middle of the frontcourt and found the running position. With his physical advantage, Ibrahimovic stopped the ball and drove Karik, then turned to face Vidic, without any dragging, and passed the ball diagonally to the right.

Lucas, a young man cut in and pulled the ball and stopped in an emergency and then broke through Evra from the outside and made a cross from the bottom.

Ibrahimovic followed up in the middle and headed the ball to the goalkeeper's header!

After the opening, Paris Saint-Germain played simply but very effective.

Ibrahimovic on the front line is 31 years old, but in terms of strength, he is still at his peak!

It will naturally be a great weapon that Paris Saint-Germain relies on.

Manchester United's fast break was quickly passed by the midfield and Shinji Kagawa sent the ball to the left to look for Tang Hong.

When Beckham came to the wing to defend Tang Hong, Tang Hong did not give face to his seniors. He pretended to troll the ball and cut inside, but his right foot splashed the ball in the middle. The football rolled between Beckham's legs, and Tang Hong completed the breakthrough with a person through the crotch!

When Beckham turned to defend, Matuidi unexpectedly rushed to the front, forcing Tang Hong to speed up and dribble to complete the dodge, but then experienced veteran Yale completed the interception in front of him.

It was wonderful to have two people crossed, but it was meaningless to be intercepted in the end.

Tang Hong immediately launched a counter-attack. After Yale passed the ball to Thiago Silva in the middle, Tang Hong turned his head and looked at the backcourt players of Paris Saint-Germain to observe their running position.

Today, Beckham played the right back midfielder, while Matuidi was the left back midfielder.

It is logical that two midfielders cannot work together to defend the same side, so it is too easy for the opponent to catch the middle and go straight to the penalty area!

But Paris Saint-Germain did this!

It is enough to show that Ancelotti attaches great importance to Tang Hong!

This is a dangerous move, but if the effect is good, then most of Manchester United's offensive threat will be wiped out!

Paris Saint-Germain was really not at all aware of being at peace with Old Trafford. On the left, Maxwell quickly inserted an assist and rushed to the frontcourt. After receiving the pass from Matuidi, he collided with Lavic to cooperate with him. He scored an offensive depth advantage at the bottom and then passed the ball back to the triangle.

Ravic, who was running to the left of the penalty area, stopped and swiped forward, then splashed across the ball and wiped it through Phil Jones, and then pulled out his feet and shot the ball and flew straight to the far corner of the goal!

De Gea saved the ball with his palms and blocked the ball out of the baseline. His posture was beautiful and he also had a bit of visual shock!

call!

Paris Saint-Germain fans beat their chests and stamped their feet, but the ball didn't make the ball?

The Red Devils fans were a little scared.

There is something wrong with the pace!

Manchester United successfully defended the opponent's corner kick attack and then launched an attack from the right.

The left offensive just now was clearly visible, and Paris Saint-Germain would not give Tang Hong too much room to play.

When Van Persie received a pass from Raphael in the frontcourt, he was immediately attacked by Maxwell and Matuidi.

When he knocked the ball back to Shinji Kagawa who was running to the reception, the latter's cross was already sent out immediately to the left side of the penalty area.

When the football fell to the left rib of the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area, Tang Hong quickly cut in, while Thiago Silva and Yale quickly defended. The former controlled the football landing point, while the latter blocked Tang Hong's running route.

The cooperation between the two made Tang Hong not even have the chance to compete for a header.

Silva headed the ball easily.

Tang Hong once again realized that today's targeted defense against him is not only a midfielder, but also a careful deployment of the defender.

Ancelotti, you really have it.

I don’t know if I should thank the other party for taking me so seriously.

Anyway, Tang Hong instantly realized that this game cannot be solved by just working hard.

The Paris Saint-Germain's backcourt was directly instigated by Beckham's long pass.

Beckham's accurate long pass is enough to make countless Red Devils fans lose their minds.

When Beckham represented AC Milan to Old Trafford three years ago, the situation was very different from today.

At that time, he was demoted to substitute by Leonardo for spending a nightclub in AC Milan. When Beckham made a game in the second half, AC Milan was already behind the score and had no hope of turning around, so Beckham's performance naturally had no highlights.

But three years later, Beckham, who is almost certain to announce his retirement at the end of the season, is burning the last energy of his career!

Dream Theater reappears with golden right foot!

Ibrahimovic headed the ball in the frontcourt and gave the ball the ball to Lucas, who cut inward to meet. After getting the ball, Ibrahimovic quickly stepped forward and led Manchester United's defense to retreat. Lucas, after stopping the ball, took the ball to the middle and then went to the left to look for Ravic.

The Argentine winger stopped and cut inside and broke into the penalty area, and fake fax buckled in front of Ferdinand and dribbled towards the bottom line. He only made a cross at the last moment.

Ibrahimovic had a slight margin in front of the goal, and De Gea took the lead and confiscated the ball!

If I was slower by one second, the ball would definitely be kicked into the goal by Ibrahimovic!

Ibrahimovic turned around and gave a thumbs up to Ravic.

This scene made Ferguson look solemn.

When Manchester United launched a fast break again, they were finally able to strike some threats.

Tang Hong took the initiative to respond and pushed forward along the side road. After seeing Beckham and Yale form a local joint defense, he decisively knocked the ball across the middle road.

Shinji Kagawa followed up and shot the ball. Rooney, who was closely guarded by Matuidi, also hit the ball with one shot.

Shinji Kagawa, who continued to step forward, dribbled the ball to the left in front of the penalty area and faced Thiago Silva's top grab and decisively passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.

Van Persie cut to the point where he shot without making adjustments!

Alex raised his leg and blocked it, but he was still one step slower, and then turned his head and looked at it with fear.

Van Persie's shot was a bit straight, and Siligu moved a step and held the ball in his arms.

Van Persie gritted her teeth and said that this shot was too impatient!
Chapter completed!
