I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils - Chapter 389
Ye Su saw this first scene off the court and smiled.
Even if the referee does not blow a penalty, he will not be too angry, after all, Sevilla is the host.
Of course, if the penalty is blown, he will only be happier.
There was no suspense about the penalty. Rooney came to take the penalty. He lied to Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio and easily scored the football.
The score on the field became 2:0.
Ye Su waved his arms from the sidelines to celebrate the goal.
Seville’s coach Montella is very anxious. He constantly gestures, shouts, and directs the team from the sidelines.
Montella is the third head coach of Seville this season. Their original head coach Berizo was temporarily suspended in November due to prostate cancer, and then assistant coach Markucci took over several games. Later, Berizo recovered quickly and returned to the position of coach in Seville.
However, on Christmas Eve, Sevilla fired Bellizzo because of his record, and the Italian coach Montella FireWire took over. The latter only dropped off from AC Milan’s coach a month ago.
Montella’s pressure is still relatively large, the current Europa League hegemon is only sixth in La Liga, and the gap with the Champions League is a bit big.
Although Sevilla is the overlord of the Europa League, they have a heart to play in the Champions League. This is an inevitable complex of any professional team.
The game only started for twenty minutes, and it was 0:2 behind, which made Montella unacceptable.
He knows and admits that Manchester United is strong and ready to lose, but he can’t lose at home. In the past few years, Sevilla has repeatedly lost at the feet of Manchester United, but at least at the Pisjuan Stadium, they have the upper hand over Manchester United. If it is now in his hands and the team loses to Manchester United at home, the pressure on him can be imagined.
………
After leading 2:0, Manchester United did not slow down the offensive.
In the face of Manchester United’s aggressive offense, Sevilla had to adopt foul-style defensive tactics. In the 33rd minute, Banega fouled De Bruyne and was shown a yellow card by the referee.
The free kick taken by Mata crossed an arc, and Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio was helpless, but the football slammed on the crossbar and ejected the bottom line.
Only three minutes later, Mata obliquely passed the penalty area, Harry Kane’s half-turned volley, the football was blocked by Sergio’s leg, and was again blocked by the post.
In three minutes, Manchester United hit the goal frame twice. Because the score was 0:2, Valencia fans who had not reported any hope for the result of the game were also happy, and they all teased Sergio on the Internet.
“The goalpost is Sergio’s only lover.”
“As long as Sergio continues dating the goalposts, Sevilla will win.”
…
………
Sevilla finally made a more threatening attack in the 41 minutes of the first half.
Sarabia assisted to the top of the arc in the penalty area and sent a curve pass. Muriel successfully grabbed the spot under Maguire’s defense this time, and his header went above the crossbar.
Ye Su was very dissatisfied with the team’s defense this time, he shouted loudly from the sidelines.
“concentrate.”
“What do you think?”
“I don’t want another time!”
He can see clearly that this is under a 2-0 lead, and Manchester United’s players are a bit slack. This time the defense is careless and not tight.
After being scolded by Ye Su, Manchester United’s players quickly responded.
In the forty-fourth minute of the first half, Vardy received a through ball from De Bruyne in the frontcourt and began to dribble in.
There are at least three Sevilla defenders on his way forward.
Vardy didn’t care about these at all, he drove the ball directly into the goal.
Facing Vardi, Seville right-back Navas was a little nervous, he did not dare to rush into the fight. He kept backing up, trying to find a good opportunity to steal the ball. But Vardy’s speed is very fast, and the pace under his feet is also very fast, which makes Navas very embarrassed, his feet have long been messed up and rhythm. He was quickly smashed by Vardy in a beautiful lateral direction and easily broke through with a quick start.
After passing Navas, Vardy continued to dribble in. After attracting the attention of two Sevilla defensive players, the ball was distributed to Rooney, who was on the right side at high speed.
In front of Lu Xiaopang’s cross, Harry Kane carried Langley and knocked the football back.
Mata made a gesture to shoot, but it was a fake move, pushing the football to the right. Then people saw Rooney, who had passed the ball just now, had been slashed in place, and shot directly against the ball!
The ball traversed a beautiful arc, Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio did not make any reaction at all, and the football swept into the net.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!”
“Rooney! After a dazzling series of cooperation, Mata assisted Rooney to score, 3:0!”
“This is really a wonderful goal, Vardy’s breakthrough and wonderful points, Rooney’s wonderful passing, Harry Kane’s wonderful ball, Mata’s wonderful split-ball assists, Rooney’s final blow is wonderful! ”
“This is a wonderful personal performance by a star and a wonderful goal by the team! 3:0! Rooney scored his second goal of the game!”
“A very, very beautiful goal, both spectator and technical. Manchester United deserves to be the European champion. This goal is indeed beautiful.” Zhan Jun praised the goal.
The majority of the Sevilla fans in the stands of the Pisjuan Stadium fell into silence. Only the Manchester United fans were cheering.
In the end, at the end of the first half, Manchester United temporarily led Sevilla 3:0 away.
………
After the start of the second half, people were surprised to notice that Sevilla, who was behind 0:3, did not take the initiative to attack. And Manchester United, which leads by a big score, are not in a hurry. They are beginning to emphasize passing and possession.
“Obviously, Sevilla’s goal now is to stop losing the ball.” Zhan Jun said, “They are afraid of a tragedy.”
“Now it’s interesting. Sevilla recognizes the reality and starts to defend. Manchester United is an orderly possession of the ball… Sevilla’s defense has increased. As long as Manchester United passes halftime, they will encounter comparisons. Strictly guard against.”
Ye Su was sitting on the coach’s bench, and he wasn’t in a hurry at all. The 3:0 in the first half of the game, whether it is the score or the process, has been able to satisfy him. Throughout the second half of the game, Manchester United only needed to seize one or two opportunities and then score one or two goals. This game was perfect.
The game fell into a battle of positions. Or to put it more bluntly, it was a siege at halftime.
Manchester United’s stars appear confident when they control the ball, and their physical and technical advantages help them to protect the ball with their backs when they are marked. They can connect with their teammates in a relatively small space, and find space for forward development after completing the horizontal transition through one-foot pass.
And being able to suppress the La Liga team Sevilla in the away game, Manchester United’s powerful strength shocked everyone.
………
Sixty-one minutes into the game, after Mata got the ball in the middle, he passed the football to De Bruyne with his heel.
De Bruyne directly challenged the pass.
With Harry Kane on his back, he rubbed the football directly out of the instep.
Rooney suddenly cut inside after dribbling the ball from the wing. Just when the Sevilla player thought he was going to take a long shot, he pushed a straight kick.
Harry Kane, who was thrusting diagonally, didn’t stop the ball, and he half-turned and tackled. The football jumped, passing by the unresponsive Seville goalkeeper Sergio and hitting the snow-white net.
“GOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!”
“Harry Kane! Harry Kane also scored, 4:0, Manchester United secured the victory early!”
“This goal is scored, there is no suspense at all.”
Harry Kane and Rooney, who provided him with an assist, gave high fives and thanked the captain’s big brother for his beautiful pass.
Seville’s goalkeeper Sergio took off his gloves angrily and threw them to the ground forcefully. He didn’t strike, but he was really angry and didn’t know how to vent.
In fact, no wonder Sergio was so angry. It didn’t take long for the second half of the game to start, which was again scored by Manchester United, who was already behind 0:4, and this game could not be played.
What makes Sergio depressed the most is that, looking at this posture, Sevilla may still be pricked a few more holes by Manchester United.
………
Manchester United’s goal has also won praise from commentators all over the world.
“The highlight of Manchester United’s attack is to make full use of the width of the field, while reducing the distance between the three lines, and strengthening the horizontal flow within the formation. At the same time, it uses De Bruyne’s ability to organize offense and the strong personal breakthrough ability of two wide players. Support the offensive system.” Italian commentators talked freely, and they saw the tactical system contained therein.
“Ye Su used a large number of No. 10 players to build possession tactics in this game. He has learned Barcelona’s passing control.” The Catalan commentator said.
“There is a tacit understanding between these offensive geniuses of Manchester United. Ye Su has basically turned Manchester United into a strong championship team.” Lineker sighed.
…
If we were behind 0:3 in the first half of the game, and after the intermission, the physical and psychological conditions were eased, the Sevilla players still have a bit of fighting spirit. When Manchester United used a beautiful goal to rewrite the score to 4:0, it completely destroyed Sevilla’s confidence, and the whole Sevilla team felt a sense of powerlessness.
The opponent is too strong, strong enough to make them desperate!
Now, the game has only lasted a little over an hour, and it is already four goals behind!
The most important thing is that they tried their best, but it is obvious that Manchester United played very easily, did not try their best at all, and did not even use seven points of strength.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
………
Behind 0:4, Sevilla coach Montella could no longer sit still. He changed two people in one breath. Sandro Ramirez replaced Muriel and Claudio Pizarro replaced Banega.
Montella is going to fight. Since it is already 0:4, he doesn’t care about 0:5. He vowed to fight for a goal and cannot be shaved by Manchester United.
Seeing Montella’s gambling substitutions, Ye Su was very happy, and Manchester United was least afraid of their opponents coming out to attack.
Ye Su also immediately made substitution adjustments, also changing two people in one go.
The captain Rooney was replaced, and the French teenager Mbappé came on the bench.
Harry Kane was replaced, and he just made his debut in the FA Cup last weekend. The tall Norwegian teenager Harland came off the bench.
………
Sevilla desperately wants to attack, want to score a little bit of face. But facing the experienced and powerful Manchester United, their offensive effect is very average, which makes the Sevilla players become more and more impatient.
They were originally inferior to their opponents, but now they are eager to attack and make mistakes frequently.
Sandro, who came off the bench, passed the ball to Vazquez in the frontcourt, and then he ran forward on his own, trying to hit a wall-to-wall coordination. But Vazquez was forced by Valencia as soon as he got the ball. In desperation, he swept the football towards Nzonzi. The latter stopped the ball slightly larger and the ball was intercepted by Kanter.
Kanter passed the ball to De Bruyne. When De Bruyne pulled up and turned around, the outside instep sent a diagonal ball.
This pass has a strong penetrating power, and Haaland successfully made it into the penalty area against offside, but unfortunately the angle of the shot was too right, the ball was saved by Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio to the bottom line.
………
Subsequently, Ye Su made another substitution adjustment, veteran Vardy was replaced, teenager Rashford came on the bench.
Five goals behind, the morale of Sevilla’s players was low, and even the idea of desperate was gone. Their offense is completely unformed, and the defense is more like doing everything.
Fortunately, Manchester United did not continue to fight to the death, slowing the pace of the game.
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score on the field remained at 4:0. In the two rounds of the Champions League one-eighth knockout, Manchester United solved the problem in almost one game.
After losing 0:4 at home to the Red Devils Manchester United, Sevilla coach Montella said: “Such a defeat is difficult to analyze. We didn’t expect it to be like this before.”
“It’s very uncomfortable in the dressing room. Their first goal is something that everyone will emphasize, but it is indeed an uncorrectable problem. Manchester United caused us a lot of harm. We did not expect it to be such a game in the first half. We played very uncomfortably.”
“Such a disastrous defeat at the Pisjuan Stadium is a thing that saddens the fans. Compared to the fact that we lost, the way we lose makes us feel more uncomfortable.”
“This defeat is difficult for us to analyze. We have to take time to see what happened. This is a bad result. The performance in the first half was very bad. I have to analyze it. I can’t say that I regret making it. Which decisions, I think the players should not like this game.”
“All I can say is I hope the fans will continue to believe in us. Sevilla is a brave team. We will need the support of fans even more in the next round of the league.”
