Evergrande vs. Manchester United, the scene was full, and nearly one-third of Chinese fans sat here, which seemed to have turned this place into a Chinese place.

But, there is no miracle.

The ball control ratio of 73.6% vs 26.4%. Manchester United firmly controlled the scene throughout the game. In terms of shooting, Evergrande also made Manchester United beaten 2-28. In terms of goal, Evergrande did not hit the target in one shot in the whole game, while Manchester United had as many as 8 times. In terms of corner kicks, Evergrande only won one time, while Manchester United had as many as 9 times. Evergrande's two leading figures were fouls 13-11, and he received a yellow card, while Manchester United no one was yellow. Manchester United attacked the 30-meter area of ​​the frontcourt 44 times, while Evergrande only had 8 times.

However, Evergrande played well at the start, at least playing well in defense. They persisted until the 40th minute before Manchester United broke through the goal.

In the 40th minute, Manchester United made continuous exquisite cooperation at the front of the penalty area. When Kim Young-jin beat Mbappe to clear the ball, he was intercepted by Schneiderlin in the penalty area and shot. Kim Young-jin blocked the ball again, but Dong Fangzhuo scored the ball after getting the ball from a small angle and hit the far corner. Manchester United finally broke the deadlock, Evergrande 0:1.

After losing the first ball, Evergrande was in chaos.

In the 44th minute, Zheng Long made a mistake in controlling the ball, Manchester United scored a counterattack at the front of the penalty area, Dong Fangzhuo divided the left, Di Maria then crossed the ball to the back point, Rashford rushed to the top and scored the ball, Manchester United quickly expanded the score to 2:0.

After the second half of the game restarted, in the 47th minute, Evergrande intercepted the backcourt and sent a straight pass. Muric made a one-on-one insertion, but Valencia, who was back to defend near the baseline, cleared the ball. By chance, the ball was sent to Dong Fangzhuo's feet. Dong Fangzhuo passed Kim Young-kwon and then passed the ball to Januzai. After Januzai got the ball at the front of the penalty area, he kicked the ball and went straight to the dead corner. Zeng Cheng had no choice but to expand the score to 3:0.

It was too easy for Manchester United to win, and Evergrande was not an opponent at all. Before that, Evergrande was very confident to compete with Manchester United, but the gap between Asian champions and European champions was too big.

However, the famous football commentator He Wei expressed his feelings as soon as possible after the game! To be honest, I feel that Manchester United has stopped playing. They did not use all their strength at all, but only played 70%. If they hadn't accompanied Evergrande slowly, they would have beaten Evergrande in the first ten minutes of the game. Dong Fangzhuo was almost walking in the first half. He seemed to feel like he was not working hard. Who knew he would seize the opportunity?

A curious reporter ran to interview Dong Fangzhuo and asked about this matter. Dong Fangzhuo immediately denied: "How is it possible? We take this semi-final seriously. If we can score early, that wouldn't it be a good thing? Why have to wait so long to score? This is unscientific. But we do want to keep the rhythm under our feet and try to retain more physical fitness. This is our playing style. As for not using our all-out efforts? That is impossible..."

Of course, Dong Fangzhuo could not admit that although he did retain his strength and could not win such a game, Manchester United should go home as soon as possible. Their energy will naturally be focused on the finals. If nothing unexpected happens, the opponent in the finals should be the River Plate team, which is a difficult bone to crack.

However, he still gave Evergrande some advice, "Lippi is one of the best head coaches in the world, and players should play more confidently. Evergrande is almost invincible in Asia, but when he goes to the whole world, his strength will not be advantageous. If Evergrande is strong, China will be strong. But now there is a problem. The international players are running towards Evergrande and don't want to go abroad. What is the reason? The money issue... Playing football abroad is not as good as Evergrande. I think if you have the ability to play football abroad, go abroad and don't just look at the interests in front of you."

Dong Fangzhuo is critical...

He actually has a good relationship with the boss of Evergrande and he also runs a football school there, but now he feels that some players’ minds have changed. Maybe Dong Fangzhuo has thought too much!

However, although we lost the big score, no one from Evergrande was sad. Midfielder Zheng Long said at a post-match press conference: "We performed well today when playing against world-class teams, but we still conceded two mistakes to our opponents. Playing with such a team is the first opportunity to show ourselves, and the second is the opportunity to learn to find gaps, which is very valuable."

Look, Zheng Long is so modest and low-key. But it’s not okay to be humble and low-key, it’s really too big.

There is also hot discussion on Weibo. Yan Qiang, a reporter from Sports Weekly in the UK, believes that Evergrande should not care too much about the score: don’t care too much about how he plays in a game. This is really just the beginning. What’s important is that there is such an opportunity. I’m very happy that Evergrande’s senior management also regards Manchester United as a comprehensive role model.

Football Night reporter Wang Tao also thinks this is a game to measure the gap: Evergrande and Manchester United are so valuable. They show themselves and finally see themselves clearly with real guns. They have become a yardstick to measure the huge gap between Chinese football and world-class. It is not Evergrande that makes people feel a little desperate for a moment. You should know that Evergrande is still the only one in China. Encourage and create opportunities to let players go abroad in high-level leagues. It is really different to spend time in that environment. We have to do too much...

Huang Jianxiang also said: "It is indeed different to studying abroad and playing football at home. Even with Zheng Zhi in charge, Evergrande can do nothing. The key is that the domestic players are too weak. The 2018 World Cup journey of the Chinese team is worrying, and it is difficult to replicate the miracle of 2014."

Evergrande has gathered at least ordinary domestic international players, but it still cannot shake Manchester United, which made Huang Jianxiang think of the future World Cup.

"Our football development is actually OK, but now excellent children are really not as good as the 2005 generation. There are really fewer and fewer top players. What's going on? Is it true that the development of world football has restricted the characteristics of players, just as Dong Fangzhuo said?"

Later, the result of another semi-final match also came out. The Han Pak team really lived up to expectations. They defeated the Japanese team Hiroshima Miaraka 1-0 and successfully met Manchester United in the final.

"bed,"

Ferguson was in a good mood. After knowing that his opponent was River Plate, he was not nervous at all. He had not played this cup in Japan for many years. He wanted to start the final tomorrow.

The old coach rarely gets so excited. The more he desires something, the more hungry and uncontrollable it is.

"Don't stop playing in the finals, try to win the game in the first half, and we still have to keep our energy in the Premier League!"
Chapter completed!
