Previously, Giggs gave Rooney a hidden pass, and then made such a beautiful shot. Benfica's players immediately put away their contempt and felt that the old guy had two tricks and had to be vigilant.

When Benfica first started the attack, he targeted two young boys from Manchester United's right. He felt that they were inexperienced and had a good breakthrough. Now seeing that Giggs' left side is quite threatening, Benfica immediately launched an attack on Giggs' left side and used the attack to suppress the attack.

When attacking, Giggs was able to master the rhythm, lead him if he wanted to, and pass him if he wanted to.

It’s not possible when defending. Defensive players have to follow the rhythm of offensive players, which is very exhausting and energy.

Especially when Benfica transferred Gaitan to the right and attacked Giggs, Giggs couldn't keep up even more, and Fletcher had to run to the side to support him frequently.

Originally, two midfielders, Fletcher kept running to the side, and the middle was almost like one person missing, leaving Benfica with a lot of offensive space.

Benfica is a Portuguese team, with a European Latin style of play and is good at passing and cutting. Once they are given a lot of space, the result is very terrible.

In the 10th minute of the game, Benfica passed quickly in the frontcourt! Forward Cardoso pulled the central defender out of the penalty area, the clown Aimal quickly stepped forward, Gaitan passed the ball to Cardoso, and Cardoso passed it straight into the penalty area to find Aimal!

The passer and the shotster reversed the position, caught the Chinese defender off guard. Smalin's fall tackle was a step slower, and the ball was first obtained by Aimal.

Just because another central defender of Manchester United was assisting in defense, Evans, an adventurous fall tackle kicked the ball out of the baseline.

This is also because Aimal is older, otherwise Evans would not even be able to touch the ball.

Although Benfica's attack failed to make a shot, the danger was no less than Giggs' hit to the crossbar.

Gao Xiaodong was very sensitive. He realized earlier than Ferguson that Fletcher frequently made up for defense against the side, and that Benfica would be attacked by Benfica in the middle. Therefore, Gao Xiaodong paid great attention to filling in the position after Fletcher left, reducing Benfica's space for cooperating in the middle.

Gao Xiaodong's judgment was very accurate and took action, but in Ferguson's tactical style before the game, Gao Xiaodong's main task was offense, and defense was the task of Fletcher and Carrick.

Gao Xiaodong focuses on offense, and often he doesn't care about defense, especially when he is intercepted by others when his offense and defense is converted, so Gao Xiaodong can't go back at all.

In the 15th minute of the game, Manchester United launched an attack from the right, and Smarin passed to Jones on the right, and Jones passed through Valencia in the frontcourt. Valencia was seen through by the opponent when he wanted to pass the ball and the ball was cut off.

Benfica fought back, Amorim dribbled the ball from the left and walked forward quickly. Gao Xiaodong had already pushed up and had not come back yet. Carrick went to the side to try to intercept Amorim.

Amorim changed direction at the high speed, passed Carrick with speed and continued to push towards the bottom line.

Benfica's counterattack hit very quickly. When he retreated, right back Phil Jones showed his youthful and impatient habits.

Under Amorim's step-by-step press, Phil Jones lost patience and suddenly stepped forward to steal between Amorim's two touches.

Amorim was ready, so he pivoted the ball and dodged Phil Jones' steal, drove straight in, and passed the ball across the front of the penalty area before another midfielder Fletcher made up.

There is a large gap at the front of the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team, and Gao Xiaodong cannot cover it even if he returns to the right defense.

Gaitan catches the ball, pushes it across, and shoots it.

De Gea was already ready to save. He jumped halfway through and found that the ball was above the crossbar, so he shrank his hand back and let the ball fly to the stands.

This time, Ferguson saw that Manchester United had problems with the middle defense, and was slow and could not attack Benfica's attacker with the defender, allowing the central defender to face the opponent's attacker.

The defense is passive, and no matter how high the defender is, he cannot be directly attacked by others, otherwise there will be problems.

At this time, the best solution is of course Gao Xiaodong retreated and hit the three-middle midfielder, but the attack power was weakened.

The game time was just 15 minutes now, and Ferguson was unwilling to focus on defending. In Ferguson's heart, Benfica was not worthy of letting Manchester United defend away.

Judging from the historical record, Manchester United played against Benfica in 7, with 6 wins and 1 draw. Ferguson is qualified to set a higher goal.

Of course, Ferguson would not make any changes at all. He gave Gao Xiaodong an order to make up for two more sides instead of going back to the front of the defense zone to reduce the pressure on the back.

Ferguson's response cannot be miscalculated, but he is suitable for Manchester United to lose the ball in the midfield and frontcourt. If Manchester United concedes the ball in his backcourt, Gao Xiaodong has no way to do it.

In the 17th minute of the game, Evans got the ball in the backcourt and passed it back to De Gea, who passed it to Phil Jones on the right.

Phil Jones wanted to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong, but his intention to pass the ball was discovered and the ball was cut off by Aimal!

Aimal passed Garcia from the left in the frontcourt, and Garcia returned to the forward Cardozo in front of the penalty area.

Cardoso was shooting with an angry shot!

De Gea flew to the ground and threw the ball away!

In the 20th minute, Valencia passed back to Evans from the side. The ball was a bit powerful. Manchester United centre-back Evans made a mistake in stopping the ball, and the ball flew directly to Cardoso.

This is an assist! Cardoso was overjoyed. He stopped the ball and shot the goal 23 meters away.

The ball came too unexpectedly. Cardoso was not ready and hit the ball with his foot. As a result, the ball was too straight and De Gea moved horizontally and flew into his arms.

Benfica's two attacks were initiated in the frontcourt steals or using Manchester United's mistakes. The forward and the wingers directly attacked the penalty area. Gao Xiaodong, Valencia, and Giggs had no way to return to defense, so they could only watch their opponents shoot.

The experienced Ferguson felt a little uneasy. He felt that if Manchester United continued like this, they might be scored by Benfica first if they didn't break through Benfica's goal.

Ferguson decided to adjust Gao Xiaodong's position and let Gao Xiaodong return between Carrick and Fletcher, play the midfielder, and set up a barrier in front of the central defender.

Ferguson made a decision, but the decision could not be passed to Gao Xiaodong. He had to wait until the ball was dead and told the players on the wing and let the players tell Gao Xiaodong.

This is the helplessness of football coaches. They cannot instill their consciousness into their disciples at any time like basketball coaches.

On the court, Gaitan, who performed actively in this game, controlled the ball. He acted on the wing to break through Valencia, but suddenly used a tricky outside instep to pass the ball to the front of the penalty area!

Benfica striker Cardoso stepped forward to catch the ball, and Manchester United defender Evans followed closely.

Cardoso turned around while receiving the ball, got rid of Evans' defense, took another step, and shot angrily at the top of the penalty area!

The ball hit the inside of the left post and scored into the goal!

1:0

Cardoso, who scored 7 goals in the previous 8 games, used his personal ability to break through Manchester United's goal and took the lead for Benfica.
