Chapter 69: An abrupt end [Seventh update]

"Positive!!!"

Omar in the commentary booth went crazy.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!"

"Two to one! Monaco scored one goal! The total score is three to five! Monaco is leading by two goals and they have offset Manchester United's away goal advantage! This means that even if Manchester United scores two more goals in the next game and Monaco doesn't score, they will just drag the game into overtime!"

"This is a crucial away goal! But this is not the point. The point is how the goal was scored. Let's take a look at the TV replay. Oh my God, how did Yangguang break out of the encirclement!"

In the commentary box.

The commentators put their heads in their hands.

The TV station was also replaying the goal.

Only when captured by a high-definition camera can people truly see the entire process of Yangguang's goal.

He's not very fast.

Because when he was dribbling the ball forward.

Manchester United's players basically returned to their positions and completed the encirclement of him.

But it is in this small space.

The football is always firmly under his feet, and at the same time, he uses his strong physique to push away the defenders.

"It's no secret that Yangguang has a very strong physique. What's surprising is that his footwork is not inferior to any footwork master. He is like dancing on a stamp, moving swiftly in such a small space!"

England commentator Kolo was also conquered by this goal.

"This big guy will sooner or later become a big star that fans all over the world will pay attention to!"

Regarding these words.

The commentator beside him.

Neville and Carragher couldn't help but nod.

"Manchester United are on the brink of a cliff once again."

In the stands.

The boos from Manchester United fans have become sparse.

Because not many Manchester United fans are in the mood to boo.

Defeated by such a goal.

Manchester United fans don't know what to say either.

and so.

When the sun rushed to the sidelines and celebrated in the visiting stands.

Old Trafford has become the world of away fans.

Monaco fans chanted Sunshine's name.

"YANNNNG!"

In this cheering.

Seat B rushed over and held his head in his hands.

"That goal you scored was so fucking awesome!"

As he spoke, he knelt on one knee.

"Quick! Put your feet up!"

Yangguang also knows what Seat B is going to do.

He put his foot on it without hesitation.

Seat B made a shoe-polishing gesture.

The two performed a classic shoe-shining celebration.

"Aren't you afraid that someone more powerful will come in later?"

After Seat B stood up, Yangguang said with a smile.

"Then I'll come and polish your shoes later."

Bape jumped up from behind the sun and hung on his back.

Van Gaal had no idea how he should react at this time.

Is he going to fall down again?
The Dutchman sat dejectedly in the coaching booth.

It was not a risk for Rashford to start, but because Depay was injured and Lingard was good at stirring up trouble but lacked offensive talent.

There are not many useful players in Manchester United's forward line.

Ashley Young is injured and Giggs is so old that it is a bit difficult for the old man to start in such a high-intensity game.

What he didn't expect was that Rashford, who made his debut in this game, almost pulled Manchester United back from the edge of the cliff.

结果
Manchester United immediately lost such a goal.

Losing the ball in this way is a huge blow to morale.

He broke out of the encirclement of six people.

What else can Van Gaal say?

Looking at the Monaco coaching staff and bench celebrating not far away.

Van Gaal's brows were getting tighter and tighter.

The first half of the game came to an end with Yangguang's goal.

Neither side was able to score a goal in the following period.

The first half of the game ended with a score of 2 to 1.

Players from both sides walked off the court and into the locker room.

Inside Manchester United's dressing room.

Van Gaal began to arrange the offensive tactics for the second half.

In fact, Manchester United did not have many options in the second half.

It's nothing more than an all-out attack.

The crux of the matter is.

While attacking.

How to contain Monaco's counterattack.

"Don't let them develop the ball into the dangerous area, solve the problem outside the dangerous area! Block their first counterattack point! Even if it is a foul!" Van Gaal emphasized.

Of course, doing so carries a great risk.

But Manchester United, who were two goals behind in the aggregate score, had no choice.

Just as Van Gaal expected.

In the current situation.

Jardim also took a slightly conservative approach.

He asked Monaco to retreat and seize the opportunity to counterattack.

“We can give them possession and let them have the ball in non-dangerous areas, but once they enter our defensive third, we can immediately put pressure on them and develop the ball as soon as possible after the successful interception.”

On the tactics board.

Arrows pointed to the first point of Monaco's counterattack: No. 39, Sunshine.

Both the players and the coach of Monaco.

Everyone underestimated the magic of Manchester United when Old Trafford fell into madness.

Even though they are in bad form in the league.

Even though Manchester United is now being ridiculed by many fans of the rival teams that they once suppressed.

However, the current Manchester United can still allow people to vaguely glimpse the glory of the former Red Empire.

After the second half of the game started.

They launched wave after wave of attack amid the cheers of the fans on the scene.

Monaco also had several counterattack opportunities.

But they were all stopped by Manchester United using foul tactics.

After all, this is Manchester United's home ground.

Considering the home field advantage.

They have a great advantage by adopting such an aggressive defensive strategy.

Thus.

After the start of the second half of the game.

Manchester United is getting stronger and stronger.

They kept launching attacks.

at last.

In the seventy-fourth minute of the game.

With Manchester United's attacking line constantly under pressure.

Monaco's defense made a fatal mistake.

Mata was kicked down by center back Glick in the penalty area.

The referee awarded a penalty kick!

"Penalty! Penalty!! Manchester United gets a penalty!"

Accompanied by deafening cheers from the audience.

The commentators exclaimed.

Inside Monaco's penalty area.

Manchester United players celebrated with their fists clenched and roars.

At this moment, Manchester United's hope is back!
Manchester United captain Rooney stood in front of the penalty spot.

He did not disappoint the expectations of tens of thousands of Manchester United fans and calmly kicked the ball into the goal.

Penalty scored!

Three to one!

Manchester United scored another goal.

The total score was four to five.

"Manchester United scored a goal, and they only need to score one more goal to drag the game into overtime! However, we have reason to believe that Manchester United's players may be able to score two goals in the remaining twenty minutes or so! They are in such good form now, scoring two goals is not a difficult task for Manchester United!"

Inside the CCTV studio.

He Wei frowned slightly: "Monaco may have to consider shrinking their defense. If they hold on for the last 20 minutes, they can still advance with a score of 5 to 4."

All Monaco fans became nervous.

In the first half, Rashford scored twice and almost helped Manchester United turn the tables.

However, it was the sun that stood up at that time.

This time.
Who else can stand up in Monaco?

The camera lens was locked on the sunlight.

He is the most important player in Monaco's offense.

The sun kept pressing down with both hands.

"Hold on! Hold on! Calm down! Don't panic!" he shouted.

The eighteen-year-old boy is already the backbone of a team.

He is a support for his teammates.

at this time.

He needs to step up and set an example.

After the game resumes.

United continued to press.

They launched a fierce offensive.

It's almost like a siege.

After all, this is their home ground.

And this team is Manchester United, which still has the power of an empire.

Monaco's goal is in a precarious situation.

"Monaco must respond. If they concede another goal, it will be very bad!"

French commentator Omar said with a frown.

The team is in a very difficult phase.

Sunshine is still running and pursuing goals.

Because he knew that as long as he could score one more goal.

Then all the problems facing the team now can be easily solved.

before this.

He had several chances to fight back.

However, it was resolved by the opponent through a foul in the first time.

Because Monaco's defense was a bit flat, he received the ball near the center circle.

This allowed Manchester United players to commit fouls with almost no scruples.

so.
For the Sunshine, how to get out of this situation, develop the ball into the dangerous area and score a goal is a big problem.

Monaco completed a steal in the backcourt.

B席 passed the ball directly to Yangguang.

Sunshine took the ball back a step before receiving it, avoiding the possibility of being fouled by Herrera in the first place.

He intended to pass the ball sideways to Mbappe who was coming up.

But turned his head.

Mbappe and Valencia collided and both fell to the ground.

It seems that the ball cannot be passed.

The other Monaco players are still in the backcourt.
Yangguang dunked the ball.

In the absence of support.

He had to work on his own.

He has very good footwork.

Facing Herrera, he paused, then pushed forward with his foot.
Crotch-wearing is awesome!

Herrera's reaction was also very fast. He quickly stretched out his hand and prepared to "catch" Yangguang like a rugby player.

But he ignored the huge size gap between the two sides.

After Sunshine started up, the huge inertia caused Herrera to be knocked to the ground by the rushing Sunshine just as he put his hand on Sunshine's waist.

"Oh!"

In the commentary booth, the commentators and fans all exclaimed.

Sunshine dribbled past Herrera and knocked down Herrera who was trying to foul.

The referee wanted to call a foul on Herrera.

But when he saw Yangguang dribbling the ball away.

Raise your arms horizontally, attack with advantage!!

Sunshine dribbled the ball across half court.

Because before that, Manchester United players had all pressed forward to attack.

Even center back Smalling rushed into the penalty area to participate in the shot.

therefore.

Now there is only one defensive player in front of the Suns, Manchester United's remaining central defender Phil Jones.

Phil Jones fought and retreated.

He knew that the sun was not moving fast.

He is waiting for support from his teammates.

Yangguang also knows what the other person is thinking.

He didn't slow down, but dribbled forward with the ball.

Phil Jones retreated to an area about 40 meters away from the goal. He knew that he could not retreat any further, otherwise if the sun continued to move forward, it would be within his shooting range!

He had to entangle the sun and keep him out of the danger zone.

Phil Jones stopped, slightly tilted his body, lowered his center of gravity, and assumed a standard one-on-one defensive posture.

Yangguang also slowed down, his left shoulder dropped, and he looked like he was going to break through to the left.

But Phil Jones was not fooled. He remained unmoved and waited for Sunshine to make a fake move just last night, then he quickly rushed to grab the ball.
Yangguang reacted quickly and saw that his fake move failed to deceive the opponent's center of gravity.

He quickly pulled the ball back, stopped suddenly, turned around, and blocked Phil Jones who was rushing to steal the ball behind him.

"Phil Jones, great defence!!"

In the commentary booth, England commentator Colo shouted.

Forcing Sunshine to face away from the direction of attack means that Phil Jones can entangle Sunshine and wait for support from his teammates.

The Suns' advance was blocked without any fouls, and this defense is worthy of praise.

But he was soon stunned.

He couldn't believe his eyes!

What did he see?

As soon as Yangguang turned around, he immediately turned around by tapping the ball with his heel.

"Cruyff turns around!"

CCTV commentator He Wei shouted.

"Beautiful! It turned around!"

Sunshine did turn the ball around.

But he failed to continue dribbling the ball forward.

Because Phil Jones has panicked.

In a panic.

He made a rash move - he stretched out his leg, raised his hand, and knocked the sunlight to the ground!
When the sun falls to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Phil Jones calmed down at this time and realized what he had done - he was the last defender!

"Phil Jones foul! Oh oh oh. He's in big trouble!"

The French commentator became excited.

Because he realized what this foul would lead to.

Ruined an absolute scoring opportunity.

Follow the rules.

Phil Jones is about to be sent off!
When Manchester United's offensive was at its peak.

They suddenly had to fight with one less person.

This is for Monaco.

It means so much.

Jardim on the sidelines rushed to the fourth official: "Red card!"

On the field.

Monaco players also rushed towards the referee with their arms open.

"He fouled the opponent and ruined the one-on-one opportunity!" shouted B Seat in the innermost part.

On the sidelines, Van Gaal's face was livid.

He knew what the foul meant.

really.

The referee ran over.

In his hand
Holding a red card!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! That's awesome!"

"Through the crotch, Cruyff turned around, this guy is only 1.98 meters tall and can do such a move!"

"The most skilled big man ever!"

"Sunshine is awesome!!"

on the Chinese Internet.

Chinese fans were also stunned by Yang Guang's actions.

"Manchester United are in trouble now."

Phil Jones put his head in his hands.

He knew what he had done.

So the England defender smiled bitterly, took off his gloves, turned and walked off the field.

The only thing that could bring him comfort was.

Even though he was sent off.

But his foul was timely.

Didn't let Sunshine score directly.

"Phil Jones' red card was definitely an important turning point in the game. When Manchester United was in high spirits, Sunshine single-handedly launched a counterattack and created this red card!"

"Manchester United is now one man down. Can they continue their previous offensive momentum?"

The camera switches between the faces of each Manchester United player.

Every Manchester United player had a tense look on his face.

Just like every Manchester United fan in the stands.

A counter attack.

A red card.

Manchester United's offensive momentum came to an abrupt halt.
