I am the king of football

Chapter 352 Relief
Standing there quietly, all that rang in Ronaldo's ears were the cheers of Real Madrid fans. Their huge cheers almost overturned the ceiling of Old Trafford and silenced the home team's fans.

There was no booing in response, no rage, just looking at Ronaldo standing there quietly without celebrating after scoring the goal, it was not difficult for the quiet Red Devils fans to see Ronaldo's complicated expression from the close-up taken by the cameraman.

Little Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford. Although Manchester United fans were reluctant, they still saw Ronaldo's goal. This goal extinguished Manchester United's hopes of direct promotion and made everyone truly realize that their child was standing on the opposite side of the club.

"Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Ronaldo!"

Listening to the excited shouts of Real Madrid fans and hearing that familiar name being mentioned again and again, many old Manchester United fans at the scene fell silent, and some sentimental female fans even covered their faces in pain.

"This was a goal scored in the 88th minute of the game. With this goal, Ronaldo helped the team equalize the total score again. Obviously, this goal was a big blow to the Red Devils fans at the scene."

How could Zhan Jun, who is familiar with the Premier League, not know the meaning of this situation? Looking at the painful Manchester United fans in the camera, he couldn't help but empathize with them.

"Oh~, Ronaldo walked to the home team's stand, he leaned down and kissed the grass at Old Trafford..."

No one is heartless, and Ronaldo, who has a strong desire to win, does not want to hurt the fans who once loved him too much. After his deep kiss, countless embarrassed and painful Red Devils fans were relieved.

"Wow~"

The applause gradually rose, and at Old Trafford, Ronaldo's name began to be called out with a Manchester accent.

"Ronaldo, welcome home~"

The on-site control at Old Trafford helped the fans shout out the words they had never had the chance to say, and the reminiscing between the players and their old club officially ended here.

"There were only three minutes of injury time. No players were injured in this game and there were not many fouls. This time was very reasonable."

When the players returned to their respective positions, the game time officially entered injury time. As Qin Hu kicked the ball out, if they could not score in the remaining three minutes, the game would be destined to enter overtime.

"3-3, both teams scored two away goals. This balanced draw shows that the strength of both teams is really not much different. Let's take a look at Manchester United's final attack in the regular season."

From the moment the ball reached Carrick's feet, Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt, which had previously pressed forward, began to harass and press him, which prevented the midfielder from passing the ball directly forward. He could only pass the ball to Nani on the side to control the ball.

After Scholes left the field, newly-appointed Welbeck was unable to take on the responsibility of organizing the team's offense. Carrick was the only starting point for Manchester United's offense, and Real Madrid also had a very clear goal in defense.

As for Nani, he has good speed and skills but lacks a sense of the overall situation. Although he successfully transferred the ball to Van Persie in front of the right side of the court with a long pass with the outside of his foot in the 92nd minute of the game, the landing point of the pass was not good. When Van Persie got the ball, Arbeloa and Varane had already blocked him.

Even so, Van Persie still found the gap and passed the ball to the middle. Unfortunately, this time the monk Pepe reached the ball faster than Qin Hu. When Qin Hu wanted to break over and steal the ball, the defender kicked the ball far away.

Cleverley, who was pressing in his own half, took off Pepe's clearance. He quickly passed the ball to Welbeck on the right and wanted to launch the team's second attack, but the referee did not intend to give any more time.

“Sh ...

"Okay, the whistle for the end of the game has sounded. 3-3. After a fierce battle, the two teams finally tied in the total score. After a short break, the two teams will exchange halves and start a -minute overtime."

The game was officially about to enter overtime. After the opponent equalized the score in the last minute of regular time, the Manchester United players, who were obviously losing morale, also had time to rest.

"Guys, come here!" Due to the special nature of overtime, the teams were not able to return to the locker room to rest. Both sides gathered around their head coaches on the court, constantly drinking water and listening to their head coaches' arrangements.

It was at this time that Ferguson summoned everyone to his front. He hugged De Gea and Qin Hu who were standing on both sides of him and motioned everyone to bring their heads closer.

"From now on, every time I say something, you must respond loudly to me, so that our opponents will be intimidated by our momentum!"

"Hahaha~ Good boss!"

Ferguson started the game with a humorous tone and did not sternly scold the team for losing the ball in the final minutes. In his opinion, when Ronaldo gave his all and found his rhythm, no one could stop him.

"Our opponents are very strong, that's true, but now we are about to enter the 30-minute overtime. What we will be competing for in these 30 minutes is not who is stronger, but who has a stronger mental will!"

Ferguson's eyes swept over every player, and his tone gradually became serious.

"At this point, I believe that each of you is the strongest fighter in front of your fans."

"A must-have BOSS!"

"Very good, very energetic! Then let me tell you about the next adjustment..."

Through a series of conversations, Ferguson boosted the team's morale and began to formally adjust the team's lineup and tactics.

First, he chose to use another substitution quota and replaced Nani with Shinji Kagawa. Then he asked Carrick to move back and form a defensive midfielder combination with Cleverley that the two were quite familiar with.

Then Welbeck moved to the right winger position, Van Persie played as left winger, Qin Hu continued to serve as the team's center forward, and Shinji Kagawa played as a single attacking midfielder behind the three.

"Robin, Welbeck, you two need to come to the left and right of Shinji Kagawa when defending, and quickly move up to help Qin on the side when attacking."

"Understood, Boss!"

"In the second half, we tried to control the ball in the opponent's half and minimize the opponent's chances of controlling the ball and advancing. Everyone was very tired. It was no longer realistic to rely on quick counterattacks to score goals. Our opponents would inevitably stack more power in the midfield."

There was no tactical board but it was expressed clearly. The players had a clear understanding of how they should play next and how the opponents would play. That was enough.

"Many of you have experienced bigger things than this, and some of you will be destined to experience bigger things than this. This is just one of many victories you will win in your football career. Believe in yourself, Manchester United will win!!!"

"Understood Boss! Manchester United will win!!!"

The last word of encouragement was uttered, the short break came to an end, and the entire Manchester United team stepped onto the pitch again.
