Chapter four hundred and seventy-ninth giants are life hard

Manchester United is in a huge dilemma, and Xu Qi's outstanding state makes them feel helpless.

Because the Monaco attack group led by Xu Qi was too fierce, it also made it difficult for Manchester United to push out the overall formation and could only be in a passive defensive state.

However, now because Monaco finally reversed the score, their offensive slowed down slightly, and Manchester United finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The main reason is that Xu Qi had too many breakthroughs before this, which led to him having to start retention of his physical strength in the second half of the first half.

A player cannot always carry the ball to sprint continuously throughout the game. Even a player with good physical fitness needs to allocate his physical fitness reasonably in the game. When it is time to retain it, he must retain it.

During this period, Manchester United has recovered and has begun to create some offensive opportunities.

Playing at home, if you cannot score a goal, the ending will not satisfy the fans.

Besides, they have to score goals now, because they have become the backward side now.

Seeing that the Monaco's offensive momentum was slightly weakened, Moyes began to call on his players to start to push up.

At this time, Monaco's tactical approach also began to change to defensive counterattacks, and Manchester United's offensive began to become fierce.

During the second half of the first half, Monaco's defense was united and defended very tenaciously.

However, although it was very tenacious, there were still some mistakes.

At 40 minutes into the game, Monaco's tenacity gave Manchester United a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, which was very suitable for Van Persie's shot directly with his left foot.

It was this opportunity for set-piece that Van Persie gave a perfect free kick.

At such a critical moment, the ball entered!

Manchester United tied the score back, and now the score is one-two, Manchester United is one goal behind.

However, the total score of the two teams has now reached a three-to-three draw, and the away goals of both sides are the same.

If the game ends with this score, then overtime will be held next. If the overtime still cannot change the score, then a penalty shootout will be held.

If a goal appears again in the next time, then both the overtime and the penalty shootout will no longer exist, and the winner will be decided within ninety minutes.

The current situation is a draw, but Manchester United has a home advantage, while Monaco has a Xu Qi who can't stop anyone now!

"I knew that I wanted to eliminate Manchester United by just those two goals, and I really underestimated them. This is the top three teams in the Champions League record in the past five or six years! After this draw, no one was optimistic about Monaco, which is enough to show the strength of Manchester United."

Xu Qi looked faintly at Van Persie who was interacting and celebrating with the fans on the scene. His left-footed set piece once again contributed to Manchester United.

The first half of the game ended after several minutes of competition between the two sides.

After a thrilling forty-five minutes, both sides returned to the same starting line, and perhaps the second half of the game will decide everything.

Now both sides need to start from scratch.

Ranieri also returned to the locker room with a smile on his face. He now felt that there was a lot of hope for advancement.

In fact, this situation is more beneficial to Monaco, because once Monaco scores again, they have the advantage of away goals.

Moreover, judging from Xu Qi's current state, scoring another goal is not a very difficult thing.

In the locker room, Ranieri encouraged the players. He believed that the players performed very well in the first half. If the team insisted on playing like this, the team would definitely advance to the quarterfinals.

The halftime break ended, and the second half finally began with the fans' expectations.

At the beginning of the second half, the teams that took the initiative to attack became Monaco again. They didn't seem to want to play overtime at Old Trafford Stadium, or in other words, teams like them that consumed a lot of physical fitness in the first half, if they play overtime with Manchester United, they will undoubtedly lose.

Therefore, they would rather resolve the battle within ninety minutes.

This is also a tactic recognized by Xu Qi. Now the team must find a way to break the status quo. His crazy breakthrough in the first half has consumed a lot of physical fitness. If he plays overtime, it will be difficult for him to maintain his physical fitness for so long.

Compared with Monaco's siege against Manchester United in the first half, Monaco obviously lost the vitality of the first half and made several more mistakes than in the first half.

Therefore, Moyes was surprised to find that the team can now calmly complete some defensive counterattack tactics.

Sure enough, Moyes began to call on the players to retreat, wait for the opponent to press out and then fight against Monaco's counterattack.

In fact, Moyes doesn't really want to play in overtime. After all, Manchester United's league record is so poor now. If the physical fitness in the Champions League is consumed too much, the team may continue to suffer setbacks in the league.

The game that lost to Stoke City had already put him under tremendous pressure.

Sure enough, in the fifty-two minutes, Manchester United made a very smooth and fast counterattack.

Xu Qi transferred the ball to Valencia on the right side. Valencia dribbled the ball for a long distance and faced Curzawa who was marking him. Valencia changed his head continuously and made a direct cross.

The ball was extremely fast, and it quickly passed over Carvalho and Van Persie's heads in front of the goal, and landed at the position where Verbeck was at the back point.

At the back point, Velbeck also seemed very calm at this time. He pushed the ball into the net with a slight push.

Two to two, the total score was 4 to 3, Manchester United once again surpassed the score. Monaco's 2-0 advantage was gone in the ten minutes of the first and second half.

A wealthy family is just a tough life!

"Sure enough, I lost the ball again, and it feels really hard to win." Xu Qi sighed secretly, but he still maintained confidence in the situation.

Now the team can score another goal and use away goals to take the initiative in advance again.

This score is not despair for Monaco.

Although Moyes raised his arms and shouted a few times, he was not completely at ease. In fact, this goal did not have a big blow to Monaco.

Moyes also knew that as long as Monaco scored another goal, the goal would become almost meaningless.

The situation is still very complicated.

Just one minute after Manchester United scored this time, Xu Qi made a goal for Ronaldo, and Ronaldo directly took a long shot outside the penalty area.

The ball was thrillingly lifted off the crossbar by De Gea. This time, Monaco's attack once again shocked Moyes and the Manchester United fans on the scene.

Xu Qi and Luo told Manchester United with practical actions that their situation is definitely not optimistic!
