Just two minutes later, Ferdinand replaced Smalin.

There was warm applause from the stands, which was to welcome Ferdinand and also to give away Smarin.

Manchester United fans have already endured enough to deal with Smalin. If it were Real Madrid fans, they would probably boo him.

Although Ferdinand hasn't played for a long time, with him playing with Vidic, Manchester United's players' hearts settled immediately.

Previously, Manchester United's players had problems with their frontcourt offense, mainly because their lead was too big and their offense was reduced. In addition, the defense line was unstable, and the midfielders did not dare to push up easily. Once they lost the ball, they did not fight back at the high position, but rushed back to help the central defender defend.

In this case, it is difficult to attack with a high quality.

Now that Ferdinand is back, no matter how he performs, the sense of security he and Vidic bring to his teammates is incomparable to Smalin, Evans, O'Shea and others.

Nani, Giggs, and Gao Xiaodong all let go of the attack, which is a huge threat to any team in the world.

Schalke 04 is a team with excellent offense, but their defense is average, otherwise they would not have lost so many goals in the first half. At this moment, Manchester United took a break and attacked fiercely, Schalke 04's defense line could not be resisted.

In the 79th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong broke through the middle and passed the ball. Valencia made a cross from the bottom, and central defender Hevedes headed the ball. Veteran Giggs grabbed the landing point and quickly dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Schalke 04's midfielder and central defender rushed over to block it, but Giggs dribbled the ball and made a feint, just wanted to pull out the players in the middle. Before Schalke 04's players arrived, he cleverly knocked the ball across to Gao Xiaodong.

At this moment, Schalke 04's middle defense decreased, and Gao Xiaodong immediately found the space for shooting. The ball rolled over, and he quickly followed, pushing the ball to the lower right corner of the goal with his right foot.

Gao Xiaodong's shot was mainly powerful volleys, and there were few such tricky shots at the angle, but Schalke 04's goalkeeper Neuer reacted very quickly. Gao Xiaodong's shot was very small, and he quickly fell to the ground and touched it with his fingertips. The ball hit the post and bounced out.

Gao Xiaodong saw the ball passing through the crowd and felt that the ball had it and was ready to celebrate. Unexpectedly, Neuer even hit the ball. He shook his head and gave Neuer a thumbs up.

Neuer saw Gao Xiaodong giving him a thumbs up. He shook his fists at Gao Xiaodong and breathed a sigh of relief. He lost 4 goals in the first half. Although it was not all his fault, the goalkeeper was definitely responsible for being pierced by the goalkeeper four times. Now he saved Gao Xiaodong's sure-fire goal and was in a much better mood.

Manchester United got the opportunity to have a corner kick. Giggs made this corner kick. Ferdinand and Vidic, who were on the bench, both came to the penalty area to compete for the top. The ball was passed to the penalty area. Ferdinand accurately judged the passing point of the old friend Giggs. He jumped high and headed the ball hard and headed the ball towards the middle of the goal.

Ferdinand has no time to choose an angle, but his position to compete for the top is on the small penalty area line, which is too close to the goal, so it is difficult for the goalkeeper to react.

However, after saving Gao Xiaodong's shot, Neuer became in shape. Facing Ferdinand's close-range header, he subconsciously reached out and blocked the ball again.

However, the distance was so close that Neuer had only time to block it with his arm, and had no time to exert force. The ball did not fly far and bounced back into the small penalty area.

Among the players on both sides of the offense and defense, Vidic was closest to the ball, and he followed up and stabbed the ball to the left side of the goal.

Vidic's shot was closer to the goal, but Neuer was like a cheat. He almost made a big fork and poked the ball out on the goal line with his toes.

Neuer saved Manchester United's must-scoring goal three times in a row, and Manchester United fans were all defeated. In addition to the cheers of German fans, there were also the sighs and praises of Manchester United fans.

In the VIP box, Schalke 04 manager Toonis smiled and said to Manchester United manager David Gill: "David, is Neuer worth 30 million now?"

David Jill was stunned. He said with an incredible expression: "Value, just the performance in this half, absolutely... "Suddenly I realized that this is wrong, and hurriedly said: "... But the most important thing for the goalkeeper is stability."

Tunis smiled and didn't say anything. Neuer already has a superstar appearance. A small ball like Schalke 04 will definitely not be able to keep it, but he will definitely not accept any bargaining. There are some teams who want Neuer.

Manchester United continued the corner kick. Schalke 04's defense was very good this time. The ball was pushed out by the defender and hit Falfan's feet, launching a quick counterattack.

Schalke is now behind 2:4. If he can score another goal, even if he loses 3:4 in the end, he will almost win. Therefore, after getting the opportunity to counterattack, except for the two central defenders, everyone else rushed up like a tide.

However, Manchester United's return to defense was also very fast. Valencia was in place at the first time. He stretched his foot before Draxler came on the bench to interfere. Draxler's pass was deviated. Ferdinand stretched his foot to destroy it before Raul and tackled the ball.

Gao Xiaodong also returned to the defense and quickly grabbed Ferdinand's clearance, turned around, looked at the frontcourt, his teammates were all returning to the defense, Rooney was back, and what was left in the frontcourt was veteran Giggs.

But that's good. Giggs has a very high ball dealer experience. Gao Xiaodong handed over the ball to Giggs, avoiding the opponent's siege and quickly forward the assist.

Giggs has no one to press, and there is a lot of space in the frontcourt. If he was young, he would have hit Huanglong alone. But now he is so old that he no longer has the ability to drive the ball as he was lightning. He also knows himself. After receiving the ball, he leads forward along the side road while observing the running position of his teammates.

Gao Xiaodong's forward speed was extremely fast, surpassing Rooney, but Schalke 04's players also had a good defense against him. There were always players blocking him and Giggs, not giving Gao Xiaodong a chance to connect with Giggs.

Giggs is experienced and cannot pass this point. After seeing his opponent coming up to block it, he passed it back to Evra.

Evra is a French international and was also the top five full-back at the peak. Now he is old and has no ability to assist, but his vision and consciousness are still there. Seeing Gao Xiaodong who is in front of him, he kicked it straight to Gao Xiaodong.

Schalke 04's two central defenders kept staring at Gao Xiaodong. When Evra passed the ball, Matip quickly grabbed the ball and tried to block Manchester United's counterattack without hesitation.

Matip's chance to grab the ball is very good. If Gao Xiaodong insists on getting the ball, he will definitely not be able to avoid Matip's grab. Even if he can pass, he will not be able to prevent the opponent from fouling.
