Chapter 540 Year after year!
The first half ends, and the halftime is here...
In the locker room of the home team where Manchester City is located, from head coach Guardiola to the edge players who are giving massages to help restore physical fitness, everyone's face is full of gloom.
The total score...it's 1:5!
How can I play this?
These players at Manchester City are all famous superstars, but the worst ones are also well-known potential stocks. They naturally know very well how difficult the team is currently facing.
In this case, unless Manchester City explodes in the second half, scores 5 goals from the opponent, and also strives to ensure that their own goal is not lost, they will still face the fate of being eliminated!
This... can still turn the tables?
Miracle!
Unless a miracle happens, the "Blue Moon" journey in the Champions League this season is really coming to an end!
Manchester City players are still sure of their coach Guardiola's ability to advise, and they are really not afraid of any opponent... except Manchester United!
Whether in the Premier League or the Champions League, as long as the opponent is not Manchester United, the chance of Manchester City winning is higher than that of the opponent!
But... Manchester City met its mortal enemy in the quarterfinals!
In the group stage, Manchester City only lost to Atletico Madrid away, and won all the other five games. Naples in Italy and Hoffenheim in Germany are also very powerful teams.
Entering the knockout stage, Manchester City originally felt that they were very lucky this season. The first thing they encountered was the Ukrainian miners, who defeated their opponents at home and away and finally advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. This time, they had absolute confidence to defeat the opponent when they met any opponent, but they encountered Manchester United, an opponent who gave them no confidence.
The current situation has indeed developed into the situation they are most worried about. The team is already behind with a total score of 1:5, and even if it is scored away, they are less than Manchester United.
This is really... it's a dead end!
Guardiola looked at his players and felt a little depressed, but as the team's head coach, although he was not even sure of himself, he still had to make some arrangements. What if... what if... a miracle really came?
Although Guardiola himself felt that the team had little hope of entering the Champions League semi-finals, he still had to make adjustments with responsibility...
"Young guys, we are facing unprecedented difficulties now. We must do our best in the second half to strive to score more goals! We originally needed defense, but now... we just need to do our best when defending. What we need more now is to score goals!"
After hearing Guardiola's words, the Manchester City players were a little bit energetic. They were really scared by the predicament before, but now... then let's fight!
There is actually a reason why Manchester City players have not completely given up on the game yet... Haaland!
"The Magic" performed better this season than last season. Now he has scored 36 goals in 33 league games for Manchester City, plus 16 goals in the Cup and 9 goals in the Champions League. Haaland has scored 61 goals in 52 games for Manchester City this season!
Haaland's average efficiency of 1.17 goals per game is only not as good as Yang Xiaozhuang in the world. Even his performance is comparable to Ronaldo and Messi at his peak, but not at all weak, but... he is still not as good as the "king" next door!
However, since Manchester City has a super scorer like Haaland, even if their goal task is extremely difficult now, as long as the game is not over, they really don’t have to be completely desperate. Maybe... the "Demon" has a big explosion!?
This season, Haaland has performed two wonderful performances of "big four joys". As for hat tricks, there have been many times. Who knows if he will suddenly explode in this game?
At least... the "Demon" has such ability!
Guardiola used just fifteen minutes to re-encourage his players' morale, but also made tactical adjustments. Koeman, who performed averagely, was replaced by German winger Brandt. Although the German player has no longer the majesty he had when he played for Leverkusen this morning, his passing skills are still there. When he is used as a surprise at critical moments, he might be able to assist Haaland, who is at the forefront?
The ideals of Guardiola and Manchester City stars are still very beautiful, but... the reality is much crueler than they imagined!
After the second half of the game started, Yu Yong's last attempt, the Blue Moon, who had to make his last attempt, used the pass control to take the initiative in the game, but while they were constantly putting pressure on Manchester United's defense line, their defense line was getting higher and higher, and even the two full-backs had crossed the center line.
In other words... Manchester City forgot how sharp the counterattack of this mortal enemy in the city is!
In the 49th minute, after Manchester United completed the defense in its own penalty area, Manchester, the central defender, directly kicked a big kick on his own penalty area line, and directly kicked the ball to a place only seven or eight meters away from the opponent's penalty area line.
Then... Yang Xiaozhuang appeared and followed the trend and broke into Manchester City's penalty area!
It’s not that Mansa’s long pass of more than 60 meters is so accurate. When Manchester City’s defense line hits near the center line, their team left too much room for Yang Xiaozhuang, and any speed-type offensive player who gains such a large space will pose a fatal threat to his opponent.
What's more, Yang Xiaozhuang is still the most efficient breakup in the world football world today and even the history of football!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! After bringing the ball into Manchester City's penalty area, Yang Xiaozhuang faced Ederson who was attacking, just dunked the ball to his left front and rushed forward, and simply used his speed to avoid Ederson's blockade.
Finally, Yang Xiaozhuang gently pushed the ball with his left foot arch and sent the ball firmly into Manchester City's empty goal... 0:3!
"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yang Xiaozhuang, who completed the hat trick, yelled and rushed to the red stands in the city stadium. While he and Manchester United irons celebrated the goal, countless cheers from Manchester United fans came from outside the city stadium.
It's 6:1 now!
Now, Manchester United has a huge advantage with a total score of 6:1, and this time... it's stable!
It's really stable!
Manchester United's entry into the Champions League quarterfinals again is indeed stable, but everyone on Manchester City is also very clear that they really have no chance!
Miracle?
Don't tease, okay?
There are more than 40 minutes left in the game. If Manchester City still wants to qualify now, they will score six goals in the remaining time!
Scoring five goals... all have to be eliminated!
Then... what else can Manchester City use to create miracles?
What's more, Manchester United didn't give any chance to the opponent...
In the 54th minute, Yang Xiaozhuang took advantage of the team's opportunity to make a tactical corner kick and received a pick pass from Adam Miles in the penalty area on the right. After stopping the ball with his chest, he turned around and volleyed in the air. After a "bang", he pulled the ball into the blind corner of the upper right corner of Manchester City's goal... 0:4!
Immediately afterwards, just 58 minutes, Yang Xiaozhuang headed the ball in the top of the penalty area of Manchester City. Martial, who had no one at all, shot directly in the penalty area on the left, and the score of this game was locked...0:5!
Seeing that the total score had become 8:1, Solskjaer simply replaced Yang Xiaozhuang. Anyway, Yang Xiaozhuang performed so perfectly in this game, and the game was completely out of suspense. It would be better to let the "King" get more rest time!
Manchester United substitution here, and Guardiola on the other side also substitutions. He replaced Haaland with Jessus... he made a shot!
Guardiola doesn't want to surrender, but the problem is that Manchester United's opponent... no, it's just because Manchester United's "God Yang" is so fierce!
Unreasonable!
Totally unreasonable!
In the two rounds of confrontation, you scored 6 goals and averaged hats per game... How can you play this?
