Chapter 627 The best assist

The moment Carrick scored, Old Trafford cheered wildly!
At this moment, all fans are extremely excited!

awesome!
a!

Real Madrid scored two goals in the first half and the team was in crisis.

Veteran Carrick came on as a substitute and created a goal with his first touch of the ball!

The same was true in the second half. Just in the first minute, another goal was scored!
A brace!

Help the team equalize the score!

2 is better than 2!

The two sides are back on the same starting line!

This is simply awesome!

The excited Manchester United fans cheered wildly and shouted Carrick's name loudly!

Standing in the middle of the court, Carrick was smiling, enjoying the joy of scoring.

It was different from the situation when the goal was scored in the first half, because after all, the team was still behind at that time.

But now, he helped the team equalize the score.

Now I can finally relax a bit.

At this time, the teammates rushed to Carrick and hugged him tightly!

Carrick also enjoyed the happiness at this moment.

It's a great feeling!
At this time, Mourinho and Perrin hugged excitedly on the sidelines of the court!
"Jose, your substitutions are so awesome!"

"Haha! I quite believe in Michael! He is the best!"

The red at Old Trafford is flying, and the white is completely suppressed!
At this moment, Zidane was a little lost in front of the visiting team's coaching bench.

He looked at Carrick in the center of the crowd on the court and was silent for a long time.

After all calculations in this game, this veteran was still ignored.

Before the game, he didn't even think Carrick would come on as a substitute.

Even if the midfield needs to be adjusted, Mourinho believes that there is a high probability that players such as Herrera and Lingard will play.

Or withdraw Xia Xing and let Rashford come on as a substitute to go to the left wing. Otherwise, Mata can be used.

Even Rooney is more likely to come on as a substitute than Carrick.

After all, Carrick is older now, has insufficient running ability, and defense is his weakness.

Such players are not of much use when they come on the field. It can even be said that half of them are missing.

Even after he scored a goal in the first half, Zidane didn't take him seriously.

In the locker room just now, he just told the players that Carrick was just a lucky ball, and the focus of defense was still on Xia Xing, Pogba, Lukaku, and Sanchez.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an important figure in changing the game.

The goal just scored did not seem very difficult, but the previous series of passes and movements were the most exciting performance.

The midfield master appointed by Sir Alex Ferguson, although many people look down on him and think he is a "transparent person", his usefulness to Manchester United is unparalleled.

After Carrick retires, maybe...

"When Carrick retires, Manchester United may not be able to find such a good successor for many years to come."

In the live broadcast room, Carragher suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Alan Shearer was stunned, "Are you praising Carrick?"

Carragher, who rarely praises Manchester United players, couldn't help but praise his former national team teammates at this moment.

"Carrick has always been special when he was in the national team.

“Although he is three years younger than me, I think he is even more mature than me.

"In the England national team, which once had many stars, there are too many stars in the midfield.

"Even Gerrard and Lampard have to compete for the main position, let alone Carrick, who is not as famous as them.

“So he was always just a rotation player, but even so, he still performed very well.

"Someone suggested that Carrick should be paired with one of the two players so that they can get along better. "Carrick can organize and control the field, and everyone in the two players has the ability to shoot forward.
"Anyone would be fine with Carrick.
"But unfortunately, in the end this tactic is rarely used in the England national team.

"At Manchester United, Carrick's talent was brought to its fullest.
"Carrick played an indispensable role in the 2008 Champions League win. He was Manchester United's midfield anchor.

“And now, even at an old age, his ability to read the game is still at the top level.

“The two goals we just scored were all scored with our brains, which is really great.

"He is a very rare type in national football. After he retires,
"Manchester United may not be able to find such a good midfield organizer for many years."

Carragher said these words with emotion. At this time, many Manchester United fans in front of the TV were also very emotional.

However, they still have confidence in the team.

When Carrick retires, we will definitely have better midfield stars joining us!
But a few years later, they understood the correctness of what Carragher said today...

Without further ado, the game continues.

Manchester United's opening goal boosted their morale to an unprecedented level.

At this moment, Manchester United was in great condition. Real Madrid took the kick-off again, and Manchester United's midfielder and frontcourt pressed high and quickly stole the ball.

The ball was handed to Xia Xing again, and Xia Xing also passed it crosswise to Carrick again.

Carrick sent a long pass to Lukaku!
The pass is very accurate!

Lukaku was pressed by Ramos and forced a shot!
The ball went slightly wide and Manchester United missed a good opportunity to take the lead.

But soon, Manchester United's counterattack came again.

This time it was Valencia who stole the ball and Isco was tackled to the ground.

The referee's whistle didn't sound!
No foul!
Give the ball to Carrick again!
Carrick made a diagonal pass to the right!

As Mourinho suggested, play behind Marcelo who is assisting!
Sanchez quickly received the ball and rushed into Real Madrid's penalty area!

Real Madrid is in danger!
Take a low shot!

The ball hit the outside of the near post and popped out of the baseline!

Manchester United almost broke the net again!

After two consecutive attacks, the Real Madrid soldiers smelled danger.

Zidane decisively adjusted his tactics!
The whole team retreats appropriately to ensure not to lose the ball and then wait for opportunities to attack!
For Real Madrid, if the final score of this game is fixed at 2-2, they can accept it.

With two away goals in hand, there will definitely be no problem returning home.

After all, Real Madrid's home results this season are excellent.

Seeing Real Madrid retreating, Manchester United's offense became more active.

During this period Carrick became the focal point of Manchester United's midfield.

Although his position is far back, in the midfielder position, he is a great passing threat, and every kick is directed at a fixed point.

There were several passes that made Zidane on the sidelines marvel in his heart.

It's beautiful!

In the 72nd minute of the game, Carrick once again got the ball in midfield.

At this time, his teammates in the frontcourt were running, and Carrick did not have a good passing route.

He knocked the ball horizontally to the left wing and gave it to Xia Xing. He overshot it a little and also allowed his teammates in the frontcourt to run and open up space.

At this moment, Casemiro quickly pressed forward and directly cut off Xia Xing's return route.

Carrick suddenly accelerated and sprinted!
The passing space is available!
The Real Madrid midfielder quickly surrounded Carrick as if facing a formidable enemy!

But they didn't expect that Xia Xing didn't pass the ball back!
He made a long pass and went straight into the penalty area!

The pass is extremely accurate, looking for Sanchez in the back!

Sanchez catches the ball accurately!
Volley and shoot!

The ball hits the net!

3 is better than 2!

Another goal for Manchester United!
Xia Xing's best assist helped Sanchez score!
