Paul Scholes’ kick succeeded in silenceing Lionel Messi and team

DBasia.news – When you see football pundits talking on television and seeing the humor they create, whether it’s through comments or jokes among colleagues, people forget that they are quite legendary.

In that era, old fans who had followed football for some time, names like Paul Scholes, Thierry Henry, Gary Neville, Roy Keane, and Michael Owen had stories or legacies that they had carved as players in the past.

Regardless of their comments as pundits who were often correct, subjective, objective, or even often idiosyncratic, their role as players in the past cannot simply be forgotten.

Like Paul Scholes. When talking about Scholes, Manchester United fans will always remember the famous class of 1992, in which a golden generation was born from the academy under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Scholes is somewhere between David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville, Gary Neville and Nicky Butt of that generation. The Ginger Prince, Scholes’ nickname, which originates from his hair referring to it being ginger.

Scholes is an example of Man United’s academy success in galvanizing young players. Blessed with vision to play and accurate ball passing, Scholes combines this ability with positional placement and technical quality in releasing long-range shots.

Paul Scholes has scored 155 goals in 718 appearances for Man United, from his debut in the first team against Port Vale in the League Cup on September 21, 1994 until he retired on May 19, 2013 – previously retired but made a comeback.

There have been many decisive goals created by Scholes in his career with a long-range shot, one of which is best remembered against Barcelona at Old Trafford.

Champions League semifinals 2007-2008

There is no end to the great success of the Red Devils when coached by Sir Alex Ferguson. But if you have to remember one of the best seasons it happened in the 2007-2008 season, although it was not as successful as the historic treble winners season in 1999.

The 2007-2008 season is remembered as Cristiano Ronaldo’s best season with 42 goals for Man United in all competitions, leading to Champions League and Premier League titles for the club. From a personal point of view, the public remembers that.

However, from Man United’s long journey to the Champions League final before winning against Chelsea in a penalty shoot-out, the club first beat Barcelona in the semifinals with an aggregate goal of 1-0.

The first leg was held at the Camp Nou and the croud there was enough to send chills down the spines of any opposing club. Man United did not flinch and the match ended in a 0-0 draw with a sense of ‘defeat’ for them as Man United had the chance to score from Ronaldo’s penalty (missed).

Barcelona were coached by Frank Rijkaard at the time and had Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto’o, Carles Puyol and Gianluca Zambrotta in the team. Don’t forget there is also Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry.

The determination was determined at Old Trafford. Man United played the4ir mainstay 4-4-2 tactics by relying on Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez up front, supported by Luis Nani, Scholes, Michael Carrick and Park Ji-sung.

Scholes had caused concern when he violated young Messi right on the left side of the Man United penalty box, but not a penalty as the violation occurred outside the penalty box.

In the 14th minute Scholes made amends for it. Receiving a wild ball from Xavi’s imperfect sweep who snatched the ball from Ronaldo, Scholes received it and from outside the penalty box the thunderous kick he created was unable to be pushed over by Victor Valdes, tearing the net for Barcelona’s goal.

Scholes’ goal was the only goal scored at Camp Nou against Barcelona, bringing Man United to the final. Lionel Messi was powerless to be a differentiator for the club and was understandable, at a young age Messi dribbled more of the ball trying to get past opponents and his playing vision had not been honed.

“He (Scholes) is one of the great players to emerge here. We couldn’t expect him to score 10 to 15 goals in a season like he did when he was younger but what he got tonight makes up for everything he can’t do anymore to score goals,” said Ferguson praising Scholes at the time.
