Manchester United players walked onto the stadium with confidence. In the second half, they will pay more attention to defense, but will not give up on offense.

Manchester United fans also have great confidence. The team they support have a considerable advantage in the first half. In addition to Beckham's two goals assisting York, Tiger and Scholes' long shots outside the penalty area and Giggs's breakthrough from the wing and forced a cut into the goal. Inter Milan did not create any chance except for a few quite hasty long shots!

If this continues, Manchester United will win a good advantage at home, right in front of them!

In the knockout match of European competitions, the body of the Serie A team has advanced, right in front of you!

The whole of Old Trafford fell into a crazy roar, and the second half of the game officially began!

However, what all Manchester United people did not expect was that just four minutes into the second half, the cheers over Old Trafford immediately calmed down!

Morero forced his way through Gary Neville's defense on the left. Neville tried hard to force him to block Morero's cross from the wing, but the Italian international drew the ball back with a beautiful emergency stop and then crossed with his right foot!

Zamorano is undoubtedly a top center, but he is not tall, just about the same height as Tiger, 1.78 meters tall. However, at this time, he jumped higher than everyone, taller than Manchester United's two central defenders who are more than 1.9 meters tall!

This is a miracle created by the excellent point-grabbing ability and bounce ability of "Horror Ivan"!

Jumped between two Manchester United centrebacks, then Zamorano shook his head and made a beautiful head-swinging attack!

Since the beginning of this season, Danish goalkeeper Schmeichel's performance has been ups and downs. In fact, this situation has begun last season. He is still able to make many beautiful saves, but he is not as steady as before. He lost some balls that should not be lost. The goal he guarded in the first half was basically not tested. At the beginning of the second half, he encountered such a threatening shot. Can Schmeichel, who has not moved much, save this header?

Schmeichel did not disappoint Manchester United fans! At that moment, he seemed to have returned to his peak period. His huge body jumped up and almost blocked Zamorano's header with one hand!

Manchester United fans in the stands cheered, but the danger has not been lifted yet. The distance of the header was too close. Although Schmeichel made a wonderful save, she could only block the ball back into the penalty area, but could not completely clear the ball!

Stam was about to clear the siege when a figure in a blue and black sword shirt appeared one step faster than him at the landing point of the ball. His left foot hooked the ball horizontally and dodged Stam's foot stretching out with great force, and then pushed the arch of his right foot!

The ball flew into the goal! The entire Old Trafford Stadium became quiet in an instant!

One to two! Inter Milan scored a point! The goal was the Italian melancholy prince Robert Baggio!

After helping Inter defeat Real Madrid with two goals, Baggio once again let Inter Milan see the light!

After scoring the goal, Baggio rushed into the goal, then picked up the ball, then ran back and slapped his teammates to celebrate - as Ferguson said, in the knockout round of the two rounds, two goals at home in the first round was not a big advantage. As long as the opponent scored a goal, the advantage would return to the opponent's side again!

In the two-round knockout round, winning two-to-one at home is not a great advantage at all!

Ferguson's expression began to become a little serious. It would be a big deal to see whether Manchester United can launch a counterattack next. What's even more terrible is that Inter Milan's condition has fluctuated this season, but when they go crazy, the attack is also difficult to resist!

Sure enough, after re-teletting, Inter Milan immediately launched an offensive like a fury!

Obviously, during the break, Hodgson had discovered that his side's offense was too fixed in the midfield. After the second half, Inter Milan began to combine more side and middle schools. The ball just now was the opportunity created by Morero after breaking through the wing and crossing!

Zanetti started to return to the right and sprinted with Morero one left and one right. Morero made a precise cross at a high speed breakthrough, and Zanetti's threat of dribbling through the ball was quite great. Although Inter Milan is not good at attacking on both wings, with the assistance of the two wings offense, Inter Milan, which combines the side and the middle, can the offense maximize the abilities of the stars in the frontcourt!

However, in the siege of Inter Milan, Schmeichel began to fully play out his form.

Zanetti suddenly took a long shot from the front of the penalty area, and the ball drew a strange arc in the air and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Schmeichel made a big move and flew with one hand to block the ball out of the baseline.

Baggio took a corner kick, Schmeichel attacked and took the ball off the heads of Zamorano and West in advance.

Djokav dribbled through the ball, and Schmeichel took the ball away from his feet.

Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief. With Schmeichel's outstanding performance, Manchester United resisted Inter Milan's fierce attack. However, relying solely on the current two-to-one score, it is probably a bit of a bad situation to play the second leg in Italy...

One more goal must be scored! Ferguson thought in his heart.

However, when you want to score, you have to consider what to do if you lose another goal. Inter Milan's offense has been quite fierce during this period. Almost all Manchester United players returned to defense to resist Inter Milan's fierce attack. What if they pressed up and were counterattacked by Inter Milan?

Ferguson's eyes fell on Tiger, who was running back and forth near the midfield.

Although Inter Milan strengthened the attack on the flank in the second half, their attacks were still mainly centered on the middle. In addition to Baggio who kept retreating to the midfield to help the organization, Djokkaf, and Simeone who kept attacking, Manchester United's midfield defense also under great pressure. Keane and Scholes both retreated. However, in this case, there were many fewer players responsible for defending Tiger's breakthroughs. In addition to West who came to the midfield, even Zanetti continued to attack on the flank...

In this case, you may only be able to pin your hopes on Tiger.

Using his breakthroughs, we can reduce the number of attacks by Inter Milan, and at the same time form a breakthrough from the already weak middle lane, trying to score another goal and then launch defense to gain a more sufficient advantage.

Manchester United scored in the first two goals through the combination of sides and middle. Inter Milan's defensive formation transformation was a bit chaotic when they were concentrated on defense, but now they have played in a state, and the two wing forwards are constantly retreating to defend. Such defense is difficult to break with the combination of sides and middle attacks. Breakthrough from the middle and facing their defenders directly is where Manchester United can use it.

Tiger knew this very well, so he did not return to defense, even when Inter Milan's attack was the most fierce, he did not return to defense, but was in the frontcourt, looking for an opportunity to kill with one blow.

Beckham actively returned to defense, but Giggs did not, and York ahead did not return to defense. Tiger believed that with himself, these three people had the ability to turn Inter Milan's half-time upside down!

He no longer needs to discuss the counterattack with Beckham. With the cooperation last time, Tiger firmly believed that Beckham knew when and how to use it to pass him to a pass for the counterattack!

In the 27th minute of the second half, this opportunity came quietly!

Morero planned to use the same trick to get rid of Gary. Neville's defense, but Neville, who was prepared for it, stretched his foot in advance to break the ball. After the intercepting the ball, Neville almost didn't think about it. After turning around, he passed the ball out, and the ball immediately fell to Beckham's feet.

Beckham had already observed Tiger's running position before receiving the ball. He turned around and raised his foot and passed the ball out!

A mid-long pass of more than 20 meters, a half-high ball!

Tiger threw West away for a little distance during the run. The ball flew just in time. Tiger hit the ball side with his chest, and then rushed directly past West, who was a little confused!

This Nigerian central defender with a weird hairstyle, his biggest flaws were his occasional mistakes and distracted on the court...

After driving the ball over West, Tiger stretched out his foot and removed the ball, stopped and turned around, then rushed past Colognese who was rushing over!

Colognese was about to turn around, but he collided with West, who had rushed back to defend. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tiger accelerated and left the two unlucky central defenders behind!

What blocked him now were Bergomi and Simici who were recovering from the full-back position - one old and one young.

Bergomi is so experienced that few people can compare with him. He is not unfamiliar with the central defender position. Both the right and the middle are his territory.

Tiger did not give Inter Milan captain any chance to come up to defend. When Bergomi was about to pounce, Tiger moved his right foot and directly divided the ball to the left. Then he ran forward. Giggs, who was inserted on the left, received Tiger's pass and began to break through quickly along the side!

Bergomi did not turn back and pounce on Giggs. He returned to defend steadily, cut off Giggs's inward cutting route, and at the same time loudly commanded Simici to defend York - he had seen that Sanetti quickly returned from the right and would not let Giggs dribble the ball for too long.

Giggs dribbled the ball and rushed to the place parallel to the penalty area line in one breath, and passed the ball out before Sanetti pressed it!

Although the arc of this cross was not as accurate and weird as Beckham's two assists, the landing point was excellent. York jumped up high under Simici's defense, and then headed the ball to attack.

Just as Paliuka's attention was all focused on York, York directly ferried the ball and headed towards Tiger!

Tiger rushed forward and swung his right foot to shoot!

Bergomi, who had not relaxed his attention, also responded in time. Seeing that he could not stop Tiger's first shot, he rushed over from the side, intending to use his body to block Tiger's shot!

However, at this time, Cruyff turned around and reappeared!

Kick empty! Recycle! Kick the ball! Turn around!

Four movements were completed in one go, Tiger flashed past Bergomi, who had completely saved her, and then faced Paliuka...

"Shot! Tiger!" Beckham clenched his fists from afar and let out a low growl in his heart.

Ferguson on the sidelines chewing gum couldn't help but start to speed up. Anyone who is familiar with Ferguson will know that at this time, it is the time when Ferguson is most excited!

Countless Manchester United fans in the stands began to hold their breath... All their eyes were focused on Tiger in the penalty area. At this moment, is there anything else that can stop Tiger's shot? No!

In the small penalty area, Tiger decisively shot hard with his left foot!

Paliuka had only had time to wave his hand and the ball flew directly into the goal!

At that moment, the cheers of Manchester United fans erupted like a mountain torrent!

After the shot, Tiger staggered, and his left foot shot was not as smooth as his right foot. Then he saw the ball flying into the goal, and a huge joy began to surge from the bottom of Tiger's heart!

"It's me, I scored the goal! I broke through the goal guarded by Italian national goal Palioca!"

At this moment, Tiger only said this in his mind, so that when York, who was equally ecstatic, rushed towards him, Tiger ignored the guy who assisted him, but rushed directly to the sidelines, then slid to the stands, waving his arms wide open, waving wildly.

The same crazy teammates rushed forward, surrounded him in the middle, and then celebrated them vigorously!

"Beautiful job, Tiger!" After Tiger stood up, Keane ran over and kicked Tiger's butt: "Next, it depends on our defense! You, stand in front and wait for our pass!"

"No problem, captain, I'm in front, try to score another goal!" Tiger rubbed his butt and replied with a big smile.

"Three to one! A beautiful counterattack! Manchester United once again took the advantage of two goals leading... Tiger's fifth goal in the Champions League this season! You know, this is just the third Champions League he participated in, and it is amazing to achieve such a result! Tiger only participated in two games against Barcelona in the group stage. Tiger was absent due to injury in two games in the bloody Bronderby. He was also absent from two games against Bayern because of injury, but in these three games, Tiger scored five goals. If he could participate in all the games, maybe he could score more goals... Seeing his performance like this, who can believe that it is his first time participating in the Champions League!"

Inter Milan boss Moratti, who was watching football in Old Trafford's box, sighed, then shook his head, and his eyes began to become a little hot when he looked at Tiger.

"This young little guy... looked at him like he saw Ronnie two years ago! Maybe it's not as impactful as Ronnie, but his performance on the court is so eye-catching!" Morati murmured to himself.

Of course, Ferguson didn't know that this boss, who was famous for his crazy buying, began to take a fancy to his players. After gaining the advantage of two goals, Ferguson waved his fists and began to direct the team to return to defense loudly.

It is obvious that the third goal lost has greatly reduced the morale of Inter Milan players - this is how the turbulent team is, lacking the spirit of perseverance.

After being entangled in the midfield for more than ten minutes, Inter Milan regrouped and started attacking, but at this time, it was less than ten minutes before the game ended.

Ferguson began to kill time by substitutions. Norwegian defender Borg came on the court to replace the injured Johnson. Two minutes later, Bart came on the court and replaced Scholes.

These two substitutions are substitutions that strengthen the defense. Manchester United's formation began to be further recovered, while Hodgson replaced Djoklaf, who performed well in this game, increasing the impact in the penalty area.

Ventora's appearance restored Inter Milan's offense to a little anger. However, after Stam targeted Ventora, the impact striker began to silence. After conceding a goal, Schmeichel's performance became more and more outstanding. The continuous wonderful saves made Inter Milan's offense always a little short of scoring!

Seeing that the three-minute stoppage time were played on the sidelines, Tiger thought about it and ran back to defend...

No one expected that Tiger's sudden return to defense this time saved Manchester United to a certain extent.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Inter Milan won a corner kick, and almost all Inter Milan players participated in the attack, and Manchester United players also began to retreat!

Baggio took a corner kick. Under the cover of Zamorano Ventola and others, Colognese, who had assisted, headed the ball in front of the Manchester United defender. Schmeichel was unable to save it. Seeing that the ball was about to fly into the goal, Tiger, who was standing at the back post, kicked the ball out with a big foot!

This is a key relief! Schmeichel ran back and hugged Tiger. His attack just now made a little mistake. Fortunately, Tiger cleared in front of the goal...

When the final whistle sounded, Manchester United fans shouted loudly!

Three to one! Manchester United won a home game! This score also gave Manchester United enough advantage before the start of the second leg!

Unless they lose zero to two away or lose more, Manchester United can cross Inter Milan and break the humiliating history of failing to eliminate a Serie A team in the European arena!

If the most dazzling first half were Beckham and York, then the most dazzling Manchester United player in the second half was undoubtedly Tiger!
