I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils - Chapter 398
In the league 2-0 victory over rivals Liverpool, Manchester United are all happy. But Ye Su did not give the players a holiday, because Manchester United has been in a state of double matches a week. This is not the case, just after the end of the double Red Club battle with Liverpool, Manchester United will soon face the challenge of Sevilla on Wednesday night.
This is the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Although Manchester United swept Sevilla 4-0 at the Pisjuan Stadium in the first leg, basically one foot into the Champions League quarter-finals, but Manchester United did not completely relax.
After all, in Ye Su’s memory, the super-reversal of the Champions League has become more and more in recent seasons, and in the future, there will be more.
If Manchester United were to be reversed at Old Trafford in the second round when Manchester United was 4:0 away in the first leg, it would really be nailed to the historical shame.
Although this possibility is extremely small, as long as it is possible, Ye Su and Manchester United cannot allow it to appear.
………
A week ago, the Champions League quarter-finals had ended 4 pairs of matchups. Three Premier League teams participated in the match, and the result was only average. After Tottenham drew the old woman Juventus 2:2 in the first leg, they lost 1:2 at the New Wembley Stadium in the second leg and were eliminated with a total score of 3:4. .
Manchester City, who are eager to compete with Manchester United for the league title, also lost at home. Fortunately, their advantage in the first leg was large enough. Like Manchester United, they won with a score of 4:0, which allowed them to score with a total score. 5:2 knocked out the Swiss team Basel.
Because Liverpool were preparing for a double red club with Manchester United on the weekend, they also released the UEFA Champions League match. As a result, the Red Army, who played most of the bench, scored a goalless draw at Anfield and Porto. Coupled with their 5-0 away win in the first round, they eliminated the Portuguese Super League giants 5:0 in the two rounds.
However, the British media are very dissatisfied with the performance of these three teams, and the FA is also very unhappy.
At the critical moment when competing with La Liga for UEFA points, these three teams did not play well when they were clearly in a superior position, especially Manchester City and Liverpool, which are obviously stronger than their opponents. It was the initiative to release water, which annoyed the FA.
As for the other two Premier League giants, the FA is more assured of Manchester United, because the Red Devils’ performance in the European arena in recent seasons is as stable as an old dog. After all, they have won 1 UEFA Cup and The 2 Champions League is not a display. Now in the first round, he has won 4-0 away, almost locked in advancement.
However, the situation of the Blues is not very good. They played 1:1 against Barcelona at Stamford Bridge in the first round. They went to the Nou Camp in the away game.
………
In this match against Sevilla, Ye Su once again carried out a substantial rotation. This is also impossible. Since entering 2018, Manchester United has had a one-week schedule in mid-February, which is the Chinese New Year of the Lunar New Year. The rest are all double matches a week. The players are very tired. If not The players simply couldn’t hold on to the big rotation.
Maybe Manchester United had too much advantage in the first leg, or maybe Manchester United players have played too many games this season. Even if Ye Su has performed a full rotation well, the players have maintained at least one game a week. Density, the schedule went on to February, everyone was very tired, anyway, this game, Manchester United players are not very excited.
Fortunately, the visiting team’s Sevilla state is also very ordinary, coupled with the prestige of the devil at Old Trafford Stadium, they have not been able to break Manchester United’s goal.
After the end of the first half, the two sides handed in a goalless draw.
During the intermission, Ye Su expressed dissatisfaction with the players’ performance in the first half and asked them to strengthen their offensive in the second half. Even if they scored a big victory in the first leg, this is not the reason for them to paddle in this game.
………
After the start of the second half, neither side made personnel adjustments.
Manchester United players stepped up their offensive on the field, but until the second half of the game began for half an hour, the score on the field was still 0:0, and neither side had scored yet.
Although the score is 0:0, Manchester United and Sevilla have taken 35 shots together. Among them, Manchester United has 20 shots and Sevilla has 15 shots. , Not too small.
“The game has been played for 70 minutes. Although both sides have not received a yellow card for the time being, there are a lot of fouls. Manchester United has eleven times and Sevilla has fouled nine times.” Commentator Lineker said, “Although The score is 0:0, but from the data we can see how intense the game is.”
Both sides are hoarding forces in the midfield, and both want to fight for control of the midfield. On the court, the situation of people turning on their backs from time to time appears, especially on Manchester United. McTominay, who has just returned from injury, has no scruples about injuries. Desperately participating in the defense, this young Manchester United academy player even blocked his shot at the top of the penalty area once, which also won him the warm applause of the Manchester United fans in the stands.
………
In such a fierce game, both sides fought all the sparks, and it seemed that no one was sure to break the opponent’s goal. At this time, the situation was changing suddenly.
In the 74th minute, Sarabia sent a wonderful through pass from the center. Benjeder, who had just come off the bench for two minutes, took a low shot and the ball flew into the dead corner at the bottom right of the goal. Sevilla led Manchester United 1:0.
In the 76th minute, Correa received a corner kick and crossed the header to ferry. Benjeder nodded the header afterwards. Although Romero made a brave save, the ball crossed the goal line and Sevilla expanded 2:0. Gained a leading edge.
The visiting team scored two goals in three minutes and rewritten the total score to 2:4, only two goals behind, which gave them hope of equalizing the score.
On the Manchester United side, the players were a little confused by the crazy performance of the visiting team in these three minutes.
“0:2, Manchester United ran into trouble at home today.” Lineker said loudly, “They played today… well, it can’t be considered bad, but their luck is really not good, which also affected The morale of Manchester United players has become passive in the last ten minutes. This is not a good phenomenon. If coach Ye Su cannot make timely adjustments, Manchester United will likely suffer the first defeat of the season!”
Two goals ahead of Manchester United at Old Trafford Stadium, which made the fans of Seville who came to England very excited. They sang and danced in the stands.
John Mortensen also said: “Manchester United is indeed in trouble. They are very likely to suffer their first defeat in all competitions this season. However, Sevilla wants to reverse Manchester United and advance to the Champions League quarter-finals, but they are still very Difficulty. After all, there is not much time left in the game, plus injury time is only less than 20 minutes. But in any case, Manchester United must make substitutions and adjustments, otherwise the outcome will be unpredictable.”
………
While two well-known commentators were still talking about Ye Su’s substitution, Manchester United’s substitution came. De Bruyne replaced Fellaini, and Kanter replaced the teenager McTominay.
Ye Su did not make adjustments on the front line, but unexpectedly made big moves in the midfield.
In his view, Manchester United’s biggest problem is not in the striker, but in the midfield. Fellaini is obviously not in shape today, and although McTominay is very active, he has just returned from injury after all, and his body is not in his best shape.
Ye Su’s substitution adjustment quickly had an immediate effect.
In the 80th minute, De Bruyne suddenly dribbled the ball from the center. Sevilla’s defensive midfielder Nzonzi stepped forward to intercept.
De Bruyne was about to make a breakthrough from the middle, but suddenly passed the football out, and it was Bruno Fernandez who received the ball.
After Bruno Fernandez got the ball, he knocked the football back to De Bruyne. He turned and ran forward. De Bruyne shook his ankle and passed the football.
People thought that De Bruyne was passed to Bruno Fernandez, who was already running, and the two had to fight a wall to cooperate. Unexpectedly, De Bruyne was passed to Mbappe on the right.
Mbappe beautifully stretched his feet to pad the football, and then suddenly started to speed up, beautifully avoiding Seville left-back Escudero’s grab, and then after he caught up with the football, he did not make a bottom pass. , But under the defense of Langley and Banega, suddenly cut inward and went straight to the penalty area!
………
This change was beyond the expectations of Sevilla’s defensive players.
Sevilla’s coach Montella yelled anxiously from the sidelines, directing the team’s defense.
Seville’s goalkeeper Sergio is also shouting loudly, directing his teammates to chase and intercept Mbappé.
After Mbappé attracted the three defensive players from Sevilla, he did not continue to break through. Instead, he suddenly stopped and made a pass to De Bruyne, who also made a move to come over. Responding action. This immediately attracted the attention of Sevilla’s defensive players, their other central defender Danish Simon Kyle immediately moved his body, trying to block the pass line.
Almost following Kyle’s action, Mbappé, who had no shooting angle, immediately saw a small shooting route. Mbappe, who was planning to pass the ball to De Bruyne, made a change in an instant, only to see him buckle the football back, and then suddenly he shot a long shot directly at the top of the arc in the penalty area!
In the penalty area with lush legs, Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio has been paying attention to the situation in front of the penalty area nervously, and then he saw a white light flashing… Is this a long shot? !
Sergio’s reaction was not unpleasant. He struggled to save and really succeeded in making the football, but the power of the shot was very powerful, and it was in the upper corner of the goal. He barely supported the football, but he still couldn’t stop it. The football continued to move forward. When Sergio fell in front of the goal, he looked up and saw that the football had flown into the net behind him…
………
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLLLL!!!”
In the high-pitched GOAL sound of John Mortensen, the young French winger rushed into Seville’s goal unabated, picked up the ball and ran to the center circle.
Although Manchester United pulled back one point, they are still behind, and there is not much time left in the game. Now is not the time to celebrate the goal.
Manchester United, who scored a goal, boosted morale and continued to attack Seville’s goal amid the cheering of more than 70,000 fans at Old Trafford.
Ashley Young made a bottom pass on the left, Harland beat Langley to complete a header, and the excellent Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio hit the football with a single punch.
As soon as Banega was about to clear the football, Kanter squeezed in dexterously, got stuck first, and then swept the football directly into the penalty area. From there, Harland carried Langley and knocked the football horizontally. .
Rashford faced the rolling football, first pulled his left foot lightly, and avoided Simon Kyle’s foot, then turned slightly and pulled his right foot towards the football.
………
“Rashford-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLL!!!”
Sevilla’s goalkeeper Sergio tried his best to save, but Rashford’s shot was of high quality. It was aimed at the top corner of the goal. The ball was fast. When Sergio reacted to save At that time, even though he tried to stretch his arms, he still couldn’t touch the football.
The football hit the net badly!
“2:2! Rashford! Rashford! Another Manchester United teenager made another move and helped Manchester United equalize the score!”
“This is Rashford! He caught the ball beautifully in the crowded penalty area, got rid of the goal, shot in one go, and scored a wonderful goal. Manchester United blew the horn of counterattack!”
Rashford, who scored the goal, just like Mbappe five minutes ago, rushed into the net without any pause. He picked up the ball and ran towards the center circle holding the football. The teammates of the ball are back: we just equalized, and it is not the time to celebrate!
………
Ye Su clapped on the sidelines, doing a good job, that’s it!
On his left, UU reading www.uukanshu.com visiting team coach, Sevilla coach Montella looked at the field blankly. He was at a loss for the team to lose two goals so quickly.
damn it!
The Italian coach was a little panicked. He knew that in the face of this new situation, he must respond as quickly as possible, but the problem is that he has not considered it for a while.
Three minutes later, Manchester United’s third goal came.
This is after Rashford and Bruno Fernandez made a wall-to-wall coordination in the frontcourt. Bruno Fernandez sent the football to the right. After Mbappe made a horizontal cut, he tried to shoot, but he sent a pass with his left foot. Harland got a header from the penalty area!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLL!!!”
“Unstoppable Manchester United! 3:2! Manchester United scored three goals in less than ten minutes and they overtook the score!”
Ye Su raised his right arm and flicked his arm vigorously. Then he slowly walked back to the coaching bench and sat down. His team was back on track. He didn’t have the slightest worry about winning the game.
