"Ferguson lost his patience and decided to make a substitution before the corner kick was even taken."

"Solskjaer came on for Fletcher. It’s uncertain if Manchester United’s super sub can replicate his miraculous performance from the 1999 UEFA Champions League final, especially without Sheringham and his usual partner. However, they do have another English forward, Rooney, today."

"It’s a triple forward formation for Manchester United now, haha! Ferguson really dares to gamble. Fletcher couldn’t handle Huang Kaiwen, so he simply stopped defending him."

"Young Gago once again stood by the sidelines, as the goal scorer Cassano was substituted."

"Haha, Cassano didn’t look quite natural, he forced a smile while high-fiving Capello before sitting down on the bench."

"Earlier in the season in the Champions League game against Lyon, Cassano was subbed off early and complained to journalists after the game about being neglected by Capello. Sitting on the bench without the chance to play taught Cassano a lesson: even if you’re unhappy at work, you still have to put on a forced smile in front of your boss."

Huang Kaiwen gestured towards the corner flag area.

After a series of sprints with the ball, his legs felt a bit weak. It wasn’t a good time to kick; resting was better.

"Are you alright, Kevin?"

Ramos came up to the front field and asked.

"I’m fine, no problems at all."

Huang Kaiwen covered his mouth and said, "You go for a near-post run later, I’ll draw the defense." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Alright!"

Ramos nodded quickly in response.

They both made their way into Manchester United’s penalty area, not heading towards the small penalty box.

Scholes quickly closed in on Huang Kaiwen, while Carrick went to mark Ramos.

Huang Kaiwen pointed his right hand towards the left post, which was the far post for a right-side corner kick.

In the corner kick strategy he and Guti had discussed,

the direction pointed by the right hand meant the opposite.

"You go over there, let Saha watch Ramos,"

Scholes said.

Carrick nodded and moved to the left flank.

After a running start, Guti swung his left foot under the ball.

Bang—

As the ball moved, the Real Madrid players rapidly changed positions.

The teammates in front sprinted towards the left flank, while Huang Kaiwen ran at the far left post in the large penalty area.

With so many moving at once, Manchester United’s defenders were essentially deceived.

When Ramos began his run to the near post, Saha, who was in front of him, was still looking back at the left flank. Ramos jumped forward and flicked the ball from behind.

Bang—

The ball changed its trajectory and quickly flew towards the center of the goal.

Van der Sar, positioned by the right post, reacted swiftly, springing up and pushing the ball away with his right hand.

The ball struck Carrick in the midsection and rebounded towards Huang Kaiwen.

O’Shea quickly stretched out his legs in a defensive midfield position and kicked the ball towards the center.

Scholes took the ball and turned, only to be brought down by Marcelo. The referee’s whistle blew once again.

"Ah, that was close!"

"Yes, Real Madrid has been close a few times with their corners today, and although they haven’t managed to score, each set-piece has varied greatly. Manchester United really cannot afford to be complacent."

Van der Sar clapped his gloves and shouted a few words to his teammates before sending a long kick towards the right wing.

That kick was a bit strong.

Ronaldo jumped after returning to the midfield line, out-jumping De Jong to head the ball back to Scholes.

Scholes lifted his right foot and firmly controlled the ball, then turned and sent a long pass with his right foot.

Bang— the ball flew precisely in front of Giggs.

Giggs also controlled the ball effortlessly with his foot.

The two veterans from the ’92 squad both had excellent basic skills.

As Ramos had not yet returned to the penalty area, El Guerra knew he couldn’t let Giggs get near, so he charged forward aggressively to press him.

Giggs adjusted his direction with small steps, then suddenly accelerated and nudged the ball forward, quickly followed by a cutback.

As El Guerra stretched out his foot, Giggs quickly turned his body and delivered a lofted pass with his left foot.

The ball flew over Pepe’s head and headed towards the right wing, where Solskjaer, having just passed Pepe, arrived in the right side of the large penalty area and used the inside of his foot to control the ball, sending it forward.

Casillas quickly rushed out to intercept the ball, but Solskjaer swiftly stretched out his left foot for a shot. The diving Casillas reacted with lightning speed, deflecting the ball out for a corner.

"That attack from Manchester United was very dangerous."

"Mainly because Real Madrid was two goals ahead, their players weren’t defending as diligently. Van der Sar seized the opportunity to kick-start the offensive with a powerful long ball."

"The match has now reached the 80th minute, my goodness, Manchester United players have almost all surged into Real Madrid’s penalty area."

"Giggs making a run... near the post! Diarra heads the ball out of the penalty area, Scholes gets the ball at the edge of the large penalty area, Marcelo quickly stabs the ball away, Guti receives the ball and is tripped by Carrick. That’s a tactical foul; a counterattack would definitely have led to a goal."

"Right, Carrick intentionally kicks the ball out of play, haha, that’s time-wasting. A foul in the forward area and no yellow card, but now Vander gets a yellow card. What’s yours is yours; he couldn’t avoid that card."

"El Guerra quickly sends a direct pass, Guti passes the ball to Huang Kaiwen, who accelerates with the ball and breaks past Rooney. Scholes chases him from behind. Today’s Huang Kaiwen is unstoppable—slide tackle... beautiful, Huang Kaiwen dodged it. Ferdinand charges at Huang Kaiwen, who makes a pass and is then brought down! That one hit Huang Kaiwen’s ankle quite solidly."

’Real Madrid finally found an opportunity to excel, and a fierce conflict broke out between the teams. This scene feels all too familiar."

"When Huang Kaiwen was maliciously fouled, his teammates often stood up for him. Today’s starter, Ramos, is still under a long-term suspension. Oh boy, Ramos is going to receive another red card, which might result in an additional suspension. He might not be able to play in the early league games next season, and possibly in the UEFA Champions League as well."

"Ferdinand yellow card, De Jong yellow card, Ramos yellow card turning into a red, 80th minute of the match, Real Madrid are down by one man. This is good news for Manchester United."
