I'm 198cm tall. Are you giving me a Maradona template?

Chapter 67: The Road of Thorns [Fifth Update]

De Gea saved Mbappe's one-on-one shot.

But before he could be happy, he saw the football flying back.

This time.

He had no time to get up and could only watch the football fall into the goal behind him for the fourth time.

Wait for him to turn around and look.

Just see.
Still that man
"Sunshine! Sunshine! Big Four!!"

Inside the CCTV studio.

He Wei shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Oh my God! Four goals! Four goals!! The 13th goal in this season's Europa League! He is far ahead in the scorer list! Today's sunshine is simply like a god descending from heaven!"

On the Chinese Internet.

All the fans were a little confused.

They wondered if they were dreaming.

Manchester United has a very broad fan base in China.

Although Manchester United is currently ranked sixth in the Premier League.

But in the hearts of the fans.

That peak Manchester United team that reached the Champions League final three times in five years.

That was a few years ago.

Now this team is definitely a Champions League level team in the hearts of fans.

But now.
At Monaco's home ground.

Manchester United conceded three goals in the second half.

A striker from China.

When facing Manchester United, they scored four goals in one match!
This gives people a sense of unreality that is not quite real.

Some die-hard Manchester United fans believe that when the Sunshine lobbed the ball, Mbappe was in an offside position and interfered with De Gea's vision. Otherwise, with De Gea's ability, he would have been able to save the ball!
but no matter.

Their complaints are minority.

At least, even the Manchester United players at the scene did not complain about it.

It is said that De Gea was able to bounce up and save the ball after falling to the ground.

That's just a fool's errand.

Sunshine opened his arms after scoring the goal.

Celebrate happily with teammates.

Today's condition is surprisingly good.

He actually completed a hat trick.

This time.

The rating is definitely above S level.

It is extremely rare to be able to score four goals in a single game against a team like Manchester United.

Manchester United's morale suffered a devastating blow as a result.

After the game restarts.

Van Gaal made continuous substitutions.

The tall Belgian midfielder Fellaini and German veteran Schweinsteiger came on as substitutes at the same time.

They replaced Mata and Herrera.

Simultaneously.

Manchester United also adjusted their attacking style - using long passes to attack Fellaini.

Fellaini is 194 cm tall.

Its size is not much different from that of the sun.

He has great control over the aerial ball.

Don't know when it will start.

When Manchester United can't break the deadlock.

I habitually replaced him with Fellaini.

Long pass and lob, smash it inside.

The same is true now.

Fellaini, who came on as a substitute, was the core of Manchester United's attack.

Manchester United players kept making long passes towards his head.

But this type of attack is very inefficient.

Rather, it was because the kick was too simple.

The situation of the game was controlled by Monaco.

After scoring four goals.

The young people of Monaco are still eager to try and full of energy.

There is a chance to massacre a team like Manchester United.

Monaco players will naturally not let it go.

Manchester United is so famous.

Scoring a goal for Manchester United can make a player famous.

What’s more, it was a massacre of Manchester United.

Opportunities like this don't come around often.

The 77th minute of the game.

Sunshine made a long shot from outside the box.

The momentum is strong!

The football flew towards the goal like a cannonball.

In the cheers of the audience.

De Gea made a thrilling save and cleared the ball.

The cheers from the audience suddenly turned into sighs.

Sunshine almost scored five goals in a single game!

Yangguang, who failed to accomplish the feat of winning five yuan, also shook his head with great regret.

After completing this shot.

Yalding decided to call off the attack.

Veterans Carvalho and Moutinho came on the field.

At the same time, young player Saint-Maximin made his debut as a substitute for Mbappe.

Monaco adjusted the formation to 541.

Just leave Sunshine alone in the front to hold up Manchester United's defense, so that they dare not press forward to assist.

finally.

Monaco held on for the last ten minutes.

As the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The score was fixed at four to one.

With Sunshine's four goals.

Monaco won the key match of the Europa League knockout stage and took the lead.

If Manchester United wants to advance at home, they must score at least three goals.
As the whistle sounded at the end of the game.

The cheers of the fans at the Stade Louis II reached the sky.

"The game is over! The game is over!"

CCTV commentator He Wei was extremely excited.

"Yang Guang scored four goals in the game. He is the most terrifying shooter in the Europa League this season!"

in front of the TV.

Many fans grumbled.

"It's a pity that the most terrifying striker in the Europa League was banned by the Football Association."

In the commentary box.

The English commentator glanced at Neville, who was sitting dejectedly in his seat, and said: "It was an unexpected game. Manchester United suffered a crushing defeat away from home. It will be very difficult for them to advance. Of course, they are not without a chance. If they can beat Monaco 3-0 at home, they can still advance."

"Unless they find a way to deal with Sunshine!" Carragher shook his head and said, "But I think it's difficult. If Sunshine maintains this state, it will be impossible for Manchester United to keep a clean sheet at home."

"Maybe Old Trafford can work a miracle."

Kolo said.

But in fact, he himself did not believe that any miracle would happen.

The camera lens immediately locked onto the sunlight.

He was high-fiving and hugging his teammates one by one to celebrate the victory of the game.

The Monaco players are quite excited.

Because the score is here.

The probability of them advancing is very high.

Although they knew that the second round would be held at Manchester United's home ground.

But now the Monaco players have this confidence.

Even if the second round is at Manchester United's home ground.

They will also be the team that advances.

During the post-match interview.

Manchester United players were generally in low spirits.

Most of the players declined requests for interviews from reporters in the mixed zone.

Captain Rooney stopped in the mixed zone to be interviewed.

"I think we have to believe that we can turn the tables in the next round. This score and this defeat are a shame for Manchester United!"

A reporter asked him what he thought about Sunshine's performance.

Rooney said: "He is very good. Yes, we were defeated by him today. We are unlucky to encounter such a talented center forward. We must find a way to deal with him in the second round."

Schweinsteiger was also stopped by reporters.

"In the next game, we have to perform differently than we did in this game."

De Gea had four goals scored by the sun in this game.

In an interview, he shook his head repeatedly: "This should not be our performance, our performance was too bad. Fortunately, the second round gave us room for recovery. We are Manchester United and we will never give up."

Manchester United, who lost by three goals, naturally refused to admit defeat.

This is normal.

If they admit failure easily during an interview.

Then they will probably be criticized by their own supporters.

For example.

Right at this moment in time.

Manchester United legend Scholes tweeted.

".Does Smalling have the ability to play as a central defender? No! You know he doesn't have the ability! Now we've conceded four goals at the Stade Louis II, and you tell me how to explain this? You have lost all your dignity!"

Twitter celebrity Ferdinand also tweeted: "This Manchester United's performance is so strange and disappointing."

The media in England is so developed.

Manchester United lost the game.

It is conceivable what kind of media environment will be encountered in the future.

Sunshine returned to the locker room.

Entered the shower room.

What followed was the “lottery” moment that made him quite excited.

Big four. Needless to say, this performance will definitely get an S-level rating.

And Manchester United has so many celebrities.

The modules that can be drawn are naturally exciting.

Sunlight turns on the system.

[Manchester United S-level treasure chest] flickered with a faint halo.

"Open!"

[Congratulations on receiving: Cristiano Ronaldo [Tomahawk Long Shot] Module (Complete)! ]

Ronaldinho's long shot!

Sunshine took a deep breath.

When Cristiano Ronaldo was at Manchester United, he scored quite a few goals from outside the penalty area.

His range is extremely long.

And he can often hit the elevator ball with great force.

Yangguang thought about it and felt that he really needed some means to threaten the opponent's goal outside the penalty area.

If your long-range shots are reliable, it will be more difficult for the opponent to defend.

His shot has a lot of power.

It must be stronger than Ronaldo.

If he can guarantee a certain degree of accuracy, the threat of his long-range shots should not be underestimated.

Especially if you play a tomahawk-like elevator ball like Cristiano Ronaldo.

That would make it even more difficult for the goalkeeper to defend.

Shut down the system.

The sun squinted its eyes, letting the warm water flow down the top of its head.

My body and mind relaxed.

This Europa League match will definitely be a major media event.

Especially Yang Guang who scored four goals in one match.

His four goals frequently appeared on TV screens.

Whether in France or in England.

The name Sunshine has become a high-frequency word in sports media.

The media were all exclaiming that Manchester United was destroyed by a big man.

[Daily Mail]: Four goals in one match! The center forward who destroyed Manchester United.

[L’Equipe]: Four goals in the Europa League! Is Manchester United’s journey in the Europa League over?

[Sky Sports]: Red Devils killer! Sunshine scored four goals, Manchester United is on the verge of elimination!

Not to mention the situation in China.

The performance of Sunshine God descending from heaven does not need to be hyped up by the Chinese media.

Just describing what actually happened is shocking enough.

For Monaco.

Now is not the time to rest on your laurels.

Resuming training the next day.

Yalding warned everyone.

The Europa League victory is certainly gratifying.

But don't forget.

The competition in the league standings is quite fierce now.

Paris is leading again.

Paris Saint-Germain drew 2-2 with Chelsea in the away game in Europe!

Back in the league.

The game in Paris started first.

They beat Bordeaux 3-1 away from home.

In the case of one more game.

Two points ahead of Monaco.

therefore.

Monaco has no room for error in the league.

The league has advanced to the 26th round.

We have entered the final sprint for the championship!
at this time.

Any defeat is fatal!
The 26th round of the league is coming soon.

February 21st.

Monaco will face Tevalu at home.

Paris Saint-Germain has already won this round of the league.

All the pressure was piled on Monaco.

Jardim also made some rotations in this game.

The team's old captain Turan was put in the midfield, and veteran Carvalho started in the defense line.

Saint-Maximin got the chance to start on the front line.

Mbappe sat on the bench.

Sunshine is still the starter - the most indispensable player in this lineup is Sunshine.

Plus the sunshine is good for physical fitness.

So he doesn't need much rotation.

Twenty-third minute of the game.

Monaco scored a goal.

The goal was scored by Sunshine.

The one who assisted him was young player Saint-Maximin.

This winger with strong breakthrough ability broke through all the way along the wing and sent a cross to Yangguang near the baseline.

Yangguang headed the ball into the goal in the penalty area.

"Sunshine! This is his 27th league goal this season! Can you imagine? This is his debut season in his professional career, and his number of goals is something that many forwards at their peak cannot even dream of!"

Omar exclaimed.

Even Messi and Ronaldo.

Even his debut season wasn't as crazy as this one.

To know.

Ronaldinho can grow up in Manchester United.

Thanks to Ferguson's patient training, otherwise, based on his performance in the first three seasons at Manchester United, no one would have thought that a winger with such data would be able to compete for the world's best player in the future.
Of course.

Some of Sunshine's supporters have reason to worry.

Because there have been players in history who reached their peak in their debut.

But mostly.
All of them lack stamina.

But no one is talking about this now.

Yangguang is in such great shape that it would be a waste of time to discuss whether he has stamina.

Sunshine's goal allowed Monaco to return to the locker room with a lead in the first half.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.

Jardim continued to make substitutions.

Moutinho replaced B Silva.

He wants to give the main players some rest.

Not long after the second half of the game started.

Veteran Carvalho seized the opportunity from a corner kick.

He headed the ball into the goal in the penalty area.

The score was changed to 2-0.

After taking a two-goal lead.

Jardim chose to substitute Yang Guang to give him a chance to rest.

obviously.

He is already thinking about the second leg of the Europa League knockout tie next Wednesday.

Despite beating Manchester United 4-1 at home.

But he doesn't think Monaco can rest on their laurels.

Manchester United is still Manchester United after all.

Moyes' season in charge.

Manchester United were in worse shape than they are now.

They were drawn together with Greek giants Olympiacos in the Champions League quarter-finals.

As a result, they lost 0-2 in the first round away from home.

At that time, everyone thought Manchester United was going to be defeated.

The results of it?
Back home.

Manchester United, who were in poor form and had slipped to eighth place in the standings, responded with a 3-0 victory and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

Jardim doesn't want his team to become the background for the opponent's reversal.

When going to Old Trafford to play against Manchester United, we have to be cautious.

After the sun sets.

Monaco's forward line's ability to suppress opponent defenders has decreased.

This gave Tewaru a little opportunity.

In the 83rd minute of the game.

Tewaru scored a goal.

However, in the end, Monaco relied on its stronger overall strength to withstand the opponent's final counterattack and won the victory, continuing to lead Paris Saint-Germain by one point in the standings.

The last leg of the race.

Monaco is not having an easy time.

The first and most crucial one is naturally the 30th round of the league, a direct dialogue with Paris Saint-Germain away from home.

Second.

In the last two rounds of the league, Monaco will face two strong teams, Montpellier and Lyon respectively.

With the league points race so close.

Any game.

No mistakes are allowed.

Successfully won three points in the 26th round of the league.

It's just a small step.

Want to win the championship.

We must win steadily and continuously in the remaining 11 games.

It's not easy.

But winning the championship is never easy.

This is a road full of thorns.

And next.

Whether it's Paris or Monaco.

They all have to face the second round of the European competition.
