At the beginning of the game, Manchester United used the kick-off right to launch a wave of offensive amid the cheers and cheers of more than 40,000 Manchester United fans.

Giggs made a cross from the wing, Rooney headed the ball, Michael Owen got out from behind Samuel, stretched out his foot and shot, but the goal was missed by Samuel's interference, causing the stands to There was a burst of sighs from the Manchester United fans.

If the first wave of offensive in the opening game scored, it would be perfect.

However, even so, Inter Milan players and fans were taken aback.

Giggs, Rooney, and Owen are all superstar figures. This wave of offensive gave Inter Milan a disarm, and Inter Milan had to avoid their edge and stabilize the defense first.

However, Inter Milan itself plays a defensive counterattack and is not afraid of the opponent's attack.

Manchester United continued to attack, trying to use the opening rush to score a goal and seize the opportunity.

Inter Milan shrunk their defense, solidified their defense, and waited for an opportunity to counterattack.

In the 7th minute, Carrick almost pierced Inter Milan's defense with a through ball, and Rooney almost grabbed the ball to form a one-handed goal. Fortunately, Samuel fell to the ground from the side and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.

Rooney and Maicon rushed to the landing point at the same time. Fearing a penalty kick in the penalty area, Maicon hesitated for a moment and did not dare to go down to tackle the ball. Instead, Rooney fell to the ground and stabbed the ball first.

Cesar was at the front point just now, and he has not reached the back point at this time. As long as Rooney hits the ball within the range of the goal frame, it is an empty goal.

The Manchester United fans in the stands raised their hands and prepared to cheer.

As a result, the ball Rooney shot did not hit the goal frame, but hit the post and bounced back to the penalty area. Zanetti, who was rushed back to the defense, kicked a big kick to the midfield.

Manchester United lost their best chance to score in the opening game. The annoyed Rooney lay on the ground and didn't get up for a long time. One can imagine the depression in his heart.

Until the 20th minute, Manchester United hadn't scored a goal. There were only two shots within the range of the goal frame, but they were not threatening and were directly confiscated by Cesar.

Inter Milan under Mourinho's training, coupled with the defense of Zanetti, Lucio and other top defenders, it is difficult for any team to play a positional battle to tear apart Inter Milan's defense.

Lu Wenbin made a long pass to the top of the arc of Manchester United's penalty area before his husband made a scramble.

The 20/20 pass made Lu Wenbin's long pass very accurate.

Originally, Eto'o was behind Ferdinand, but at the moment Lu Wenbin passed the ball, Eto'o gained the upper hand in the speed competition with Ferdinand.

When the rest of Manchester United, who were on the offensive, hadn't returned to their defense, Eto'o passed Ferdinand and received Lu Wenbin's long pass before Ferdinand.

Eto'o did not stop the ball, but waded the ball into the restricted area.

Pulled by Ferdinand and blocked by the attacking Van der Sar, Eto'o calmly hit a far corner, and then was knocked down by Ferdinandra in the penalty area.

However, the ball had already passed the palm of Van der Sar's hand and flew into the goal against the far post.

In the 27th minute, Lu Wenbin assisted Eto'o with a precise long pass to open the scoring. Inter Milan led Manchester United 1-0.

Immediately, the Inter Milan fans in the stands cheered and screamed, and the neutral audience also applauded.

Manchester United, which has been aggressively attacking, failed to score. Instead, Inter Milan took the lead with a simple counterattack.
