Chapter 423 Manchester is surnamed Chen from now on? !
·
Ge Lei Sen Gu Dong
When 2 goals are behind, [Big Heart] has been triggered, but the luck is not too good, there are bounce and penalty kicks randomly, bounce 18→20, penalty 15→17
The former is still useful, but if the latter does not get a penalty kick, it is no different from not adding it.
Chen Xiaoliang kicked off the ball and kicked it to Cesco who was standing behind him. Cesco passed back to Casemiro, and Manchester United began to organize.
Benzema worked hard on the court for 120 minutes and added a penalty kick, just to give Cesco enough time to rest.
Even Mr. Golden Globe, at the age of 36, he has old arms and legs. Sitting on the sidelines at this moment, his whole body is sore. Even if he wants to come off the bench, he has to wait for a while.
Chen Xiaoliang approached Ten Hag just now in order to change to a no-front formation, with himself as an attacking midfielder and Sesco as a false nine.
He is at the front and can make full use of his advantages in physical strength and confrontation to run back and forth, involving Manchester City's entire defense, while Cesco plays a false nine and retreats appropriately, and can also lose Chen Xiaoliang in the midfield. After the response, add a fulcrum to catch the high ball, simplify the passing mode, and hit the frontcourt as soon as possible.
After all, Cesko, who will only be 21 years old next month, is already one of the best in physical condition in the team after a three-day rest. Although he is making rapid progress, he ranks second in value compared with today's football defenders. In the first Ruben Dias duel, except for the air duel, other aspects still seemed to be a little less, so asking him to retreat to Chen Xiaoliang who was advancing forward as a fulcrum gave him more space instead.
However, Guardiola, who was beaten 2-0 in the last game and was furious in the locker room, had already considered almost all possibilities, including of course that Manchester United put Chen Xiaoliang at the top, or played right winger style of play.
His coping method still follows his football philosophy, which is to use off-ball defensive positions to cut Manchester United's passing routes when it is extremely difficult to defend alone. In short, try to keep Chen Xiaoliang from getting the ball. ball.
Facing Chen Xiaoliang who retreated in the midfield, it is extremely difficult for Manchester City to do this. It is difficult to face Chen Xiaoliang who is rushing forward at the moment. With the help of Bellingham, especially with the support of the 4-0 home team, the confident Manchester City players saw the dawn of the final had shone in front of their eyes, and they were desperately following Guardiola's tactical arrangement in different places. stop position.
Everyone knows that Guardiola, who is not tidy, is the most terrifying form, and at this moment, it is.
Ten Hag is the same, the cards in his hand are just a few cards, if there is B Fee and Rashford, it will be more abundant, but the only forwards that can be replaced are Ghanacho and Benzema, the former is too tender, The latter was too tired, and both played against Brighton in the FA Cup.
I can only hope that Kwa and Anthony can do their best to pull back and defend the side as much as possible, and try to involve and create opportunities for Chen Xiaoliang.
Under this contest of spear and shield, Chen Xiaoliang still got a few chances.
In the 69th minute, Milinkovic fought for the top outside the penalty area. Casemiro, who was blocked on the line of the penalty area, immediately moved forward to clear the siege. Cesko ran to the middle circle and carried Kyle Walker together. He just turned the ball that landed on the ground and bounced high, and used the inner instep of his right foot to push forward.
Dias at the back of the center circle has been close to Chen Xiaoliang since just now, preventing Manchester United from passing the ball directly from the backcourt, but the moment Cesco touched the ball with his right foot, Chen Xiaoliang still rushed forward like lightning .
【Good at anti-offside】!
I originally wanted to use it after the full implementation of the new regulations next season, but I didn't expect to use it in advance today.
However, Cesko's mid-range pass was a little crooked. Instead of going straight towards the penalty area, it passed to the left corner of the penalty area. This made Chen Xiaoliang have to run a diagonal line to chase the ball, and also It gave Akanji and Dias time to chase back in a straight line.
Although Chen Xiaoliang has not reached 35% physical strength to trigger the automatic recovery, but with his current speed and overall physical state, he has no teammates who can catch up with him at full speed, let alone his position premise. Both Kwa and Anthony on the wing will retreat more frequently to help the wing and midfielder defend.
Chen Xiaoliang received the ball from outside the left corner of the penalty area, and wanted to change his direction and go diagonally into the penalty area, but Akanji, who was chasing back, had already blocked his inside line, and Dias also ran into the penalty area line in the middle, and there was another side Ake, who also chased back, was basically in place.
Chen Xiaoliang, who found that there were no teammates within 15 meters of himself, knew that the longer he dragged, the more he would be double-teamed, so he picked up his speed and rushed towards the bottom line again.
阿坎吉在2018年1月的冬窗被多特蒙德以2150万欧元从瑞士巴塞尔买下，过了4年在2022年夏窗，被曼城以1750万欧元的价格买走。
As a well-known black shop in Europe, it is indeed rare to suffer from selling people, but after coming to Manchester City, the affordable Akanji directly pushed Kyle Walker out of the right-back position and sat firmly. The main force of the important game.
Facing Chen Xiaoliang at this time, the Swiss defender just said one word - procrastinating, not going up to grabs, not colliding, just sticking to his side, blocking the inside line, and guarding his one-acre three-point field.
The more Chen Xiaoliang goes to the bottom, the smaller the angle of the shot. Akanji just needs to do his own thing, and wait for his teammates to come to help or hand over the rest to goalkeeper Edson.
Such a calm defender is really rare, especially when facing Chen Xiaoliang.
Chen Xiaoliang also knew that if he rushed down, Dias and Ake would be taken over.
So he made a fake shot with his left foot, and then stopped suddenly with a spike. Akanji also stopped, and still only blocked but not grabbed.
Chen Xiaoliang saw that the opponent didn't want to shake, so he forced his way to the bottom line again, and this time he swung his left foot, and really shot towards the goal with great force.
Edson had already blocked the near post, only to hear a "bang", the ball hit the outside of the post and popped out of the baseline.
"OH! NO!"
The Manchester United fans in the stands exclaimed, but in any case, this threatening goal also allowed them to see signs of the team's offensive resurgence.
The camera showed Ten Hag, with regret on his face, but still applauding and cheering.
On the bench again, B Fei seemed to be meditating "Only 2 goals! Kang busy!"
Finally turned to the stands, Mourinho frowned, not knowing whether he regretted not scoring the goal, or felt that the development of the situation was beyond his expectations.
In the 70th minute, the two sides began to make substitutions.
Ten Hag replaced Garnacho and Anthony, but before going on the field, he was urged to actively withdraw from Garnacho.
Whether or not a goal is scored is another matter, and if one more goal is conceded, the sky will fall apart.
And replaced Casemiro with Timber.
Fat Tiger really can't run anymore, but Manchester United still needs to build a hard enough sweeping area outside the penalty area.
Manchester City replaced De Bruyne, Kyle Walker and seat B in one breath, and replaced Alvarez, Kovacic and teenager Rico Lewis.
Just now, Guardiola still felt unsteady when he was turned offside by Chen Xiaoliang quickly. Now he is replaced by Rico Lewis and asked him to mark Chen Xiaoliang. Chi and Bellingham, the formation has also become a layout similar to 3-3-3-1, with Alvarez behind Harland, and Bellingham and Kovacic on both sides.
With two goals in hand, both sides have also entered the threshold of fatigue. With the ball dominant and playing at home, Guardiola is going to control the field steadily, lock Chen Xiaoliang, and drag the game to an end.
His method did work.
The injuries of B Fee and Eriksson left Manchester United short of a long-distance passer in the backcourt. Whether it is Timber, who is partial to defense, or Milinkovic, who is good at inserting behind, they are not long-distance passers. The master, on the contrary, Maguire sent Chen Xiaoliang a few good overhead kicks tonight.
However, under the high position press of the new Alvarez, although Maguire succeeded in losing weight, his dribbling ability could not be improved. Chance to pass the ball.
In the 81st minute, Ten Hag replaced Kwa and Sesco with Dalot and Benzema. He almost played all the cards in his hand.
However, the appearance of these two people did not relieve Chen Xiaoliang's pressure.
Due to the difficulty of playing the ball in the midfield, Benzema could only keep retreating to ask for the ball, help to control the ball, and then distribute the ball to both sides, trying to find a way to make the ball for Chen Xiaoliang.
And the long pass from the middle is not easy at all, because Chen Xiaoliang is not only entangled by Rico Lewis, but also the defense of Rodri and Stones, and the late Dias can make up at any time. Not to mention Akanji and Ake on both sides staring at each other, and their attention has never been diverted from Chen Xiaoliang.
Time passed by, and Manchester City did not launch any more offensives under the defense of Manchester United. After kicking this part, Harland was actually tired, but Alvarez was full of power, flying up and down , Pressing everywhere.
And Manchester United's fatigue has reached a critical point. Even if they get the ball from the wing, it is very difficult to break through and advance, let alone form a shot.
In 85 minutes, Dalot's cross was overtaken by Stones...
In the 87th minute, Rico Lewis blocked Chen Xiaoliang and was shown a yellow card. Guardiola applauded and encouraged him...
In the 89th minute, the fourth official raised a card on the sidelines, and the stoppage time was 4 minutes...
In the live broadcast room, Ferdinand seemed to lose his temper. After a series of sighs and shaking his head, he said: "We can't say that the FA Cup two days ago was wrong, it was for the great Edwin van der Sar, and don't give up. It is originally one of the connotations of the Red Devils spirit, and we cannot complain about the absence of B Fee and Rashford, although with them, the team's rotation, physical fitness, and performance may indeed be better."
"But the fact is that Manchester City were the better prepared and better side today. The 4-0 score proved that. We didn't have any good chances. Maybe the center post was good, but it wasn't enough."
Having said that, he has already begun to give his opinions on which positions Manchester United need to strengthen in the summer and who they need to buy.
At this moment, Manchester United began to press forward across the board.
At this time, no matter what tactics or style of play, keep Timber and Lima behind, and everyone else will press forward, and pass the ball forward when they get the ball.
In the eyes of everyone, this is a desperate fight, but there is no way to do it.
There are still a lot of cards in Chen Xiaoliang's system card pack, but after the change in the second half, although he was alone in the front and dragged down Manchester City's midfield, at least four people surrounded him and did not dare to press forward, such as Stones, almost no longer He didn't press forward, which relieved a lot of defensive pressure for Manchester United's backcourt, but under such a siege, especially top players, he hasn't even touched the ball a few times, so those cards are naturally useless effect.
But just after the 90th minute, he called out the system and used the [Peak Aguero 9320 Lore Card], instantly adding 2 to all technical attributes related to direct scoring!
点球17→19、技术18→20、射门18→20、任意球15→17、头球15→17、远射18→20！
Coupled with the jumping to 20 due to [Big Heart], at this moment, he may be the strongest offensive killer in history, and what he needs is for his teammates to pass the ball to his feet!
De Gea kicked the ball to Timber, and Timber kicked directly to the left side of the penalty area.
Milinkovic, who went forward, resisted Alvarez and hit the ball with his chest to Luke Shaw. Luke Shaw made a pass from the bottom. After the ball got off, the speed of the ball slowed down but still rolled into the penalty area. Akanji was worried that Chen Xiaoliang behind him would rush to catch the ball, and directly knocked the ball out of the baseline first.
Manchester United left corner.
Both sides were tired, and the camera was randomly given to a player, except for those in the 80 minutes, all the actions they did were panting with their mouths wide open, akimbo, or even bending over with their hands on their knees.
Guardiola was very nervous, just like last year in the Champions League final, walking back and forth on the sidelines, shouting constantly, and didn't even know where to put his hands.
Luke Shaw walked to the corner kick, and De Gea also ran up the backcourt, leaving only the former Ajax defensive double stars in the backcourt-Lima and Timber standing in the middle circle.
At 90 minutes and 31 seconds, the referee Slavko Vinci blew his whistle to signal the kick-off.
The Slovenian referee's call tonight was very decent and the scale was appropriate, making most people forget his existence.
Just like the famous saying, a good referee makes people feel that he is not on the court.
Luke Shaw kicked off, Manchester United players started to move forward in the penalty area, Benzema rushed forward!
Zhan Jun: "The ball flew out!"
"Cross the middle!"
"De Gea!" (Zhang Lu: "Oh, I almost hit it...")
"Later, Maguire will push back!"
"Kovacic clears!"
"Not far!"
"Arc top! Dalot!"
"Didn't kick right..."
Under Zhan Jun's excited commentary, he didn't finish his words before kicking the back, and immediately turned into four commentators present in the live broadcast room shouting at the same time!
Zhan Jun, Zhang Lu, Guan Zeyuan, General Fan: "Xiao Liang!!!"
"bang bang bang"
"Clap clap clap"
A burst of violent applause, slapping on the table, and stomping sounds came from the screen. At the scene, the fans of Manchester City were already imagining the final and witnessing another "Guanmu Xiangshi". Being blown by a cold wind, he calmed down a little.
Luke Shaw's corner kick first went to the middle. De Gea rubbed his scalp after taking off, but failed to change the flight trajectory of the ball. When it flew to the back point, the height was not enough. Maguire could only use his forehead to try back to the middle. Assist teammates.
As a result, Kovacic jumped out first, stretched his legs and flicked the ball. The ball hit the outside of the instep and did not kick far outside the penalty area. Passing through the crowd, Chen Xiaoliang naturally activated [good at anti-offside], took a step forward to throw away Dias, and pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal with his right foot facing the incoming ball!
"Offside!"
"Offside!"
The Manchester City players raised their hands at the same time. Guardiola, who was already kneeling on the ground in disappointment because of the loss of the ball, also reacted, and quickly got up and rushed to the fourth official!
On Manchester United's side, the players on the field and the coach on the sidelines fought back together. Suddenly, two groups of people surrounded the referee and the fourth official at the same time, confronting each other in the air.
"Beep beep beep!"
The referee Slavko Vinci was very decisive, made a gesture to check the VAR, drove the players away, and jogged over alone.
There is no way for Manchester United, but they can only accept it.
It takes an average of 90-150 seconds to watch VAR and communicate with the video referee team, and this time is consumed in stoppage time. It is questionable whether the full amount will be made up after the game continues. matter.
Time was ticking again, no matter the fans, coaches, players, or the audience in front of countless screens, they all clenched their fists, rubbed their hands repeatedly, or bit their lips tightly. In short, they waited anxiously and nervously for the referee Slavko Wen Odd's final penalty.
At 92 minutes and 55 seconds, he turned around, ran back to the sidelines, made a box gesture, and then pointed to the middle circle!
Zhan Jun: "The goal is valid!!!"
"The score is 4 to 1, the total score is 4 to 3!"
"Xiao Liang pushed the team back a little bit from the edge of the cliff, but they are still one ball away from the miracle happening!!!"
Mourinho in the stands was caught by the camera and couldn't help clapping and nodding, and he clearly said "Bravo!", which means wonderful.
He was applauding his most trusted disciple in the past!
He is waiting for the master and apprentice to meet in the Champions League final!
The two teams returned to their respective halfs with different moods to prepare for the re-kick-off.
Although the number of fans of the two teams is different, they all shouted the slogan of supporting the team with the loudest voice and strength as if they were about to spurt blood.
Guardiola kept yelling:
"The last minute!"
"The last minute!"
"Keep the pressure on!"
And Ten Hag also shouted:
"Another ball!"
"Push forward!"
"Don't think about the result! Press it!"
The benches on both sides were empty, and the substitute players all stood on the lawn under the bench.
They keep waving their hands, but one side is to let their teammates press up to attack, while the other side is to let their teammates retreat to defend.
City took the kick off and started sloping down from the back, hoping to kill the last minute.
Seeing the dawn of resurrection, how can Manchester United players miss it?Immediately rushed forward, desperately trying to grab the ball as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
But now Manchester City has a very real problem. Both De Bruyne and the B seat have been replaced, and the remaining midfielders with Jaeger-LeCoultre's ability to control the ball are Rodri and Kovacic.
But in Guardiola's ball possession philosophy, how can two people form a dense short pass chain in the midfield.
Soon, under the back-and-forth pressing of Timber, Milinkovic, Chen Xiaoliang, and the replaced Ganacjo and Dalot, Manchester City's ball was passed further and further until it was passed to goalkeeper Ederson, Ederson Sen had no choice but to look for Harland.
Harland ran forward while looking up at the ball, but a huge figure rushed over in front of him, facing him, he jumped up and pushed the ball forward from the sky above the landing point.
The ball landed at the feet of Kovacic, but Timber insisted on blocking him with his body to intercept the ball, and then distributed it to Luke Shaw on the left before Kovacic's counterattack came.
If he dare not stick the ball, the most important thing now is time.
Chen Xiaoliang and Benzema, who are at the top, are waiting for the pass from their teammates.
Chen Xiaoliang kept looking at the large electronic screen above the Manchester City goal from the corner of his eye. The time had reached 94 minutes and 34 seconds!
According to reason, it has exceeded the stoppage time for the fourth official to raise his card.
It was clear that referee Slavko Vinci was making stoppage time for the time wasted by VAR.
Zhan Jun: "There is really not much time left for Manchester United. It depends on whether this attack can be completed."
General Fan: "This should be the last attack. Even if the referee makes stoppage time and the attack fails to allow Manchester City to kick off, they will definitely be able to wear away the time."
Manchester City's midfield all gathered in the middle to defend.
Chen Xiaoliang and Benzema, these two names alone are enough to mobilize the attention of all defensive players.
Luke Shaw was not sure that he would be able to pass the long pass to two people. Seeing that the left side was relatively empty, he sent the ball forward.
Ganacho catches the ball and begins to drive toward the baseline.
Alvarez defended him.
Ganacho dribbled back and forth, unable to get rid of Alvarez, who also played at night, and could only forcefully try a cross with his left foot, but Alvarez blocked the baseline again.
Zhan Jun: "It's another corner kick!"
"It's the same left corner again!"
Guan Zeyuan: "Isn't it? Is the countdown lore scene going to be staged again today?"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this is perfect!"
Dalot walked over. Although the ball was scored just now, the kick effect was not good, so the ball was replaced by him, a right-footed player, who hit the left corner kick, so that he could hit the back with an inspin ball.
He picked up the ball, took a serious look, kissed it, and placed it solemnly on the free throw arc.
Except for him, the remaining 21 players on the field all gathered in Manchester City's penalty area, whether it was Harland or De Gea.
Beside Chen Xiaoliang who scored a goal just now, Rico Lewis, Dias, and Stones, the three "S" sandwiched him like a hot dog.
In the entire Etihad Stadium, except for the VIP celebrity area, all the fans who bought tickets to enter the stadium stood up.
Some of them held their heads, some prayed, some put their hands on their noses and mouths, and some trembled with excitement.
The substitute players on the sidelines of Manchester United hugged each other's shoulders like watching a penalty shootout, and stood in a row waiting for the last ten seconds.
"Beep!"
The referee Slavko Vinci's whistle sounded like an order to extinguish all the noisy orders over Manchester, making the entire stadium instantly quiet!
Everyone is holding their breath, waiting for this corner kick to be taken!
Dalot made a run-up, and the Manchester United players in the penalty area began to rush towards the goal!
Chen Xiaoliang tried his best to break through the double-teaming of the three people, but those three people blocked him with their bodies desperately!
Dalot kicks the ball!
The height of the ball is a mess!
Seeing the height of the ball, Guan Zeyuan in the broadcast room couldn't help but let out an "oops" at the first moment.
Fly closer!
Zhan Jun: "Ben..."
"Later!!!"
General Fan and Guan Zeyuan yelled in unison: "Ah!!!" (General Fan also yelled: "Ce Na!!!")
Zhan Jun: "This goal has been scored!!!"
"Absolutely flat!!!"
"Countdown!!!"
"The countdown is absolutely flat!!!"
The hoarse roar of killing a pig came from both the scene and the live broadcast room in an instant, and even countless fans broke out in an uncontrollable roar in front of their TVs and computer screens!
After yelling for a while, General Fan probably realized that he was still in the live broadcast room: "Sorry, I'm not a professional commentator like Mr. Zhan, I really can't help it!"
Zhan Jun: "95 minutes and 11 seconds!"
"Manchester United took advantage of two extra-time corner kicks to draw Manchester City!"
"Xiao Liang also scored twice with a brace, chasing the score to 4-2, and the total score of the two rounds came to a 4-4 tie!"
"Let's watch the replay again!"
"Dalot took a corner kick, and Benzema started ahead of time, throwing off Ake and diving for the header, and the ball was rubbed to the back point!"
"The attention of the three people who were surrounded by Xiao Liang was attracted by Benzema's header. Xiao Liang seized the only opportunity and used a flying tackle-like action to pad the ball into the goal from behind. !"
"Halland, who was standing by the back post, witnessed the whole process!"
"He who is always cheerful can't help but lower his head at this time!"
Zhang Lu: "Oh, Guardiola is on his knees again..."
Guan Zeyuan: "Ten Hahe also knelt...I want to kneel for Xiaoliang too!"
Barrage: [My mother keeps asking me why I watch the ball on my knees]
On the field, Chen Xiaoliang and the players behind him rushed to the bench on the sidelines, hugged all the substitutes and shouted loudly!
Guardiola got up slowly, closed his eyes and stroked his bald head back and forth with both hands.
Beckham in the stands no longer cared that the people sitting next to him were football legends, business tycoons, or entertainers. He stood up and shouted at Chen Xiaoliang who was celebrating at the bottom of the stands. At that time, I found that he had already shed tears.
Older Manchester United fans know as well as Beckham that this scene is so similar to the scene of the 1999 Champions League final lore against Bayern.
Even Mourinho in the stands was delighted for Chen Xiaoliang while asking: "Is there really a divine will in the dark?!"
Sir Alex Ferguson, who rarely appeared at the Etihad Stadium, at the age of 82, was once again photographed shaking his clenched fists uncontrollably.
The referee Slavko Vinci glanced at the time on the wristband, and directly blew the whistle for the end of regular time.
This means that after only a 5-minute break, the game will enter a 30-minute overtime!
The former is still useful, but if the latter does not get a penalty kick, it is no different from not adding it.
Chen Xiaoliang kicked off the ball and kicked it to Cesco who was standing behind him. Cesco passed back to Casemiro, and Manchester United began to organize.
Benzema worked hard on the court for 120 minutes and added a penalty kick, just to give Cesco enough time to rest.
Even Mr. Golden Globe, at the age of 36, he has old arms and legs. Sitting on the sidelines at this moment, his whole body is sore. Even if he wants to come off the bench, he has to wait for a while.
Chen Xiaoliang approached Ten Hag just now in order to change to a no-front formation, with himself as an attacking midfielder and Sesco as a false nine.
He is at the front and can make full use of his advantages in physical strength and confrontation to run back and forth, involving Manchester City's entire defense, while Cesco plays a false nine and retreats appropriately, and can also lose Chen Xiaoliang in the midfield. After the response, add a fulcrum to catch the high ball, simplify the passing mode, and hit the frontcourt as soon as possible.
After all, Cesko, who will only be 21 years old next month, is already one of the best in physical condition in the team after a three-day rest. Although he is making rapid progress, he ranks second in value compared with today's football defenders. In the first Ruben Dias duel, except for the air duel, other aspects still seemed to be a little less, so asking him to retreat to Chen Xiaoliang who was advancing forward as a fulcrum gave him more space instead.

His coping method still follows his football philosophy, which is to use off-ball defensive positions to cut Manchester United's passing routes when it is extremely difficult to defend alone. In short, try to keep Chen Xiaoliang from getting the ball. ball.
Facing Chen Xiaoliang who retreated in the midfield, it is extremely difficult for Manchester City to do this. It is difficult to face Chen Xiaoliang who is rushing forward at the moment. With the help of Bellingham, especially with the support of the 4-0 home team, the confident Manchester City players saw the dawn of the final had shone in front of their eyes, and they were desperately following Guardiola's tactical arrangement in different places. stop position.
Everyone knows that Guardiola, who is not tidy, is the most terrifying form, and at this moment, it is.
Ten Hag is the same, the cards in his hand are just a few cards, if there is B Fee and Rashford, it will be more abundant, but the only forwards that can be replaced are Ghanacho and Benzema, the former is too tender, The latter was too tired, and both played against Brighton in the FA Cup.
I can only hope that Kwa and Anthony can do their best to pull back and defend the side as much as possible, and try to involve and create opportunities for Chen Xiaoliang.
Under this contest of spear and shield, Chen Xiaoliang still got a few chances.
In the 69th minute, Milinkovic fought for the top outside the penalty area. Casemiro, who was blocked on the line of the penalty area, immediately moved forward to clear the siege.

As a well-known black shop in Europe, it is indeed rare to suffer from selling people, but after coming to Manchester City, the affordable Akanji directly pushed Kyle Walker out of the right-back position and sat firmly. The main force of the important game.

Fat Tiger really can't run anymore, but Manchester United still needs to build a hard enough sweeping area outside the penalty area.
Manchester City replaced De Bruyne, Kyle Walker and seat B in one breath, and replaced Alvarez, Kovacic and teenager Rico Lewis.
Just now, Guardiola still felt unsteady when he was turned offside by Chen Xiaoliang quickly. Now he is replaced by Rico Lewis and asked him to mark Chen Xiaoliang.

The master, on the contrary, Maguire sent Chen Xiaoliang a few good overhead kicks tonight.
However, under the high position press of the new Alvarez, although Maguire succeeded in losing weight, his dribbling ability could not be improved. Chance to pass the ball.
In the 81st minute, Ten Hag replaced Kwa and Sesco with Dalot and Benzema. He almost played all the cards in his hand.
However, the appearance of these two people did not relieve Chen Xiaoliang's pressure.
Due to the difficulty of playing the ball in the midfield, Benzema could only keep retreating to ask for the ball, help to control the ball, and then distribute the ball to both sides, trying to find a way to make the ball for Chen Xiaoliang.
And the long pass from the middle is not easy at all, because Chen Xiaoliang is not only entangled by Rico Lewis, but also the defense of Rodri and Stones, and the late Dias can make up at any time. Not to mention Akanji and Ake on both sides staring at each other, and their attention has never been diverted from Chen Xiaoliang.
Time passed by, and Manchester City did not launch any more offensives under the defense of Manchester United. After kicking this part, Harland was actually tired, but Alvarez was full of power, flying up and down , Pressing everywhere.
And Manchester United's fatigue has reached a critical point. Even if they get the ball from the wing, it is very difficult to break through and advance, let alone form a shot.
In 85 minutes, Dalot's cross was overtaken by Stones...
In the 87th minute, Rico Lewis blocked Chen Xiaoliang and was shown a yellow card. Guardiola applauded and encouraged him...
In the 89th minute, the fourth official raised a card on the sidelines, and the stoppage time was 4 minutes...
In the live broadcast room, Ferdinand seemed to lose his temper. After a series of sighs and shaking his head, he said: "We can't say that the FA Cup two days ago was wrong, it was for the great Edwin van der Sar, and don't give up. It is originally one of the connotations of the Red Devils spirit, and we cannot complain about the absence of B Fee and Rashford, although with them, the team's rotation, physical fitness, and performance may indeed be better."
"But the fact is that Manchester City were the better prepared and better side today. The 4-0 score proved that. We didn't have any good chances. Maybe the center post was good, but it wasn't enough."
Having said that, he has already begun to give his opinions on which positions Manchester United need to strengthen in the summer and who they need to buy.
At this moment, Manchester United began to press forward across the board.
At this time, no matter what tactics or style of play, keep Timber and Lima behind, and everyone else will press forward, and pass the ball forward when they get the ball.
In the eyes of everyone, this is a desperate fight, but there is no way to do it.
There are still a lot of cards in Chen Xiaoliang's system card pack, but after the change in the second half, although he was alone in the front and dragged down Manchester City's midfield, at least four people surrounded him and did not dare to press forward, such as Stones, almost no longer He didn't press forward, which relieved a lot of defensive pressure for Manchester United's backcourt, but under such a siege, especially top players, he hasn't even touched the ball a few times, so those cards are naturally useless effect.
But just after the 90th minute, he called out the system and used the [Peak Aguero 9320 Lore Card], instantly adding 2 to all technical attributes related to direct scoring!
点球17→19、技术18→20、射门18→20、任意球15→17、头球15→17、远射18→20！
Coupled with the jumping to 20 due to [Big Heart], at this moment, he may be the strongest offensive killer in history, and what he needs is for his teammates to pass the ball to his feet!
De Gea kicked the ball to Timber, and Timber kicked directly to the left side of the penalty area.
Milinkovic, who went forward, resisted Alvarez and hit the ball with his chest to Luke Shaw. Luke Shaw made a pass from the bottom. After the ball got off, the speed of the ball slowed down but still rolled into the penalty area. Akanji was worried that Chen Xiaoliang behind him would rush to catch the ball, and directly knocked the ball out of the baseline first.
Manchester United left corner.
Both sides were tired, and the camera was randomly given to a player, except for those in the 80 minutes, all the actions they did were panting with their mouths wide open, akimbo, or even bending over with their hands on their knees.
Guardiola was very nervous, just like last year in the Champions League final, walking back and forth on the sidelines, shouting constantly, and didn't even know where to put his hands.
Luke Shaw walked to the corner kick, and De Gea also ran up the backcourt, leaving only the former Ajax defensive double stars in the backcourt-Lima and Timber standing in the middle circle.
At 90 minutes and 31 seconds, the referee Slavko Vinci blew his whistle to signal the kick-off.
The Slovenian referee's call tonight was very decent and the scale was appropriate, making most people forget his existence.
Just like the famous saying, a good referee makes people feel that he is not on the court.
Luke Shaw kicked off, Manchester United players started to move forward in the penalty area, Benzema rushed forward!
Zhan Jun: "The ball flew out!"
"Cross the middle!"
"De Gea!" (Zhang Lu: "Oh, I almost hit it...")
"Later, Maguire will push back!"
"Kovacic clears!"
"Not far!"
"Arc top! Dalot!"
"Didn't kick right..."
Under Zhan Jun's excited commentary, he didn't finish his words before kicking the back, and immediately turned into four commentators present in the live broadcast room shouting at the same time!
Zhan Jun, Zhang Lu, Guan Zeyuan, General Fan: "Xiao Liang!!!"
"bang bang bang"
"Clap clap clap"
A burst of violent applause, slapping on the table, and stomping sounds came from the screen. At the scene, the fans of Manchester City were already imagining the final and witnessing another "Guanmu Xiangshi". Being blown by a cold wind, he calmed down a little.
Luke Shaw's corner kick first went to the middle. De Gea rubbed his scalp after taking off, but failed to change the flight trajectory of the ball. When it flew to the back point, the height was not enough. Maguire could only use his forehead to try back to the middle. Assist teammates.
As a result, Kovacic jumped out first, stretched his legs and flicked the ball. The ball hit the outside of the instep and did not kick far outside the penalty area. Passing through the crowd, Chen Xiaoliang naturally activated [good at anti-offside], took a step forward to throw away Dias, and pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal with his right foot facing the incoming ball!
"Offside!"
"Offside!"
The Manchester City players raised their hands at the same time. Guardiola, who was already kneeling on the ground in disappointment because of the loss of the ball, also reacted, and quickly got up and rushed to the fourth official!
On Manchester United's side, the players on the field and the coach on the sidelines fought back together. Suddenly, two groups of people surrounded the referee and the fourth official at the same time, confronting each other in the air.
"Beep beep beep!"
The referee Slavko Vinci was very decisive, made a gesture to check the VAR, drove the players away, and jogged over alone.
There is no way for Manchester United, but they can only accept it.
It takes an average of 90-150 seconds to watch VAR and communicate with the video referee team, and this time is consumed in stoppage time. It is questionable whether the full amount will be made up after the game continues. matter.
Time was ticking again, no matter the fans, coaches, players, or the audience in front of countless screens, they all clenched their fists, rubbed their hands repeatedly, or bit their lips tightly. In short, they waited anxiously and nervously for the referee Slavko Wen Odd's final penalty.
At 92 minutes and 55 seconds, he turned around, ran back to the sidelines, made a box gesture, and then pointed to the middle circle!
Zhan Jun: "The goal is valid!!!"
"The score is 4 to 1, the total score is 4 to 3!"
"Xiao Liang pushed the team back a little bit from the edge of the cliff, but they are still one ball away from the miracle happening!!!"
Mourinho in the stands was caught by the camera and couldn't help clapping and nodding, and he clearly said "Bravo!", which means wonderful.
He was applauding his most trusted disciple in the past!
He is waiting for the master and apprentice to meet in the Champions League final!
The two teams returned to their respective halfs with different moods to prepare for the re-kick-off.
Although the number of fans of the two teams is different, they all shouted the slogan of supporting the team with the loudest voice and strength as if they were about to spurt blood.
Guardiola kept yelling:
"The last minute!"
"The last minute!"
"Keep the pressure on!"
And Ten Hag also shouted:
"Another ball!"
"Push forward!"
"Don't think about the result! Press it!"
The benches on both sides were empty, and the substitute players all stood on the lawn under the bench.
They keep waving their hands, but one side is to let their teammates press up to attack, while the other side is to let their teammates retreat to defend.
City took the kick off and started sloping down from the back, hoping to kill the last minute.
Seeing the dawn of resurrection, how can Manchester United players miss it?Immediately rushed forward, desperately trying to grab the ball as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
But now Manchester City has a very real problem. Both De Bruyne and the B seat have been replaced, and the remaining midfielders with Jaeger-LeCoultre's ability to control the ball are Rodri and Kovacic.
But in Guardiola's ball possession philosophy, how can two people form a dense short pass chain in the midfield.
Soon, under the back-and-forth pressing of Timber, Milinkovic, Chen Xiaoliang, and the replaced Ganacjo and Dalot, Manchester City's ball was passed further and further until it was passed to goalkeeper Ederson, Ederson Sen had no choice but to look for Harland.
Harland ran forward while looking up at the ball, but a huge figure rushed over in front of him, facing him, he jumped up and pushed the ball forward from the sky above the landing point.
The ball landed at the feet of Kovacic, but Timber insisted on blocking him with his body to intercept the ball, and then distributed it to Luke Shaw on the left before Kovacic's counterattack came.
If he dare not stick the ball, the most important thing now is time.
Chen Xiaoliang and Benzema, who are at the top, are waiting for the pass from their teammates.
Chen Xiaoliang kept looking at the large electronic screen above the Manchester City goal from the corner of his eye. The time had reached 94 minutes and 34 seconds!
According to reason, it has exceeded the stoppage time for the fourth official to raise his card.
It was clear that referee Slavko Vinci was making stoppage time for the time wasted by VAR.
Zhan Jun: "There is really not much time left for Manchester United. It depends on whether this attack can be completed."
General Fan: "This should be the last attack. Even if the referee makes stoppage time and the attack fails to allow Manchester City to kick off, they will definitely be able to wear away the time."
Manchester City's midfield all gathered in the middle to defend.
Chen Xiaoliang and Benzema, these two names alone are enough to mobilize the attention of all defensive players.
Luke Shaw was not sure that he would be able to pass the long pass to two people. Seeing that the left side was relatively empty, he sent the ball forward.
Ganacho catches the ball and begins to drive toward the baseline.
Alvarez defended him.
Ganacho dribbled back and forth, unable to get rid of Alvarez, who also played at night, and could only forcefully try a cross with his left foot, but Alvarez blocked the baseline again.
Zhan Jun: "It's another corner kick!"
"It's the same left corner again!"
Guan Zeyuan: "Isn't it? Is the countdown lore scene going to be staged again today?"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this is perfect!"
Dalot walked over. Although the ball was scored just now, the kick effect was not good, so the ball was replaced by him, a right-footed player, who hit the left corner kick, so that he could hit the back with an inspin ball.
He picked up the ball, took a serious look, kissed it, and placed it solemnly on the free throw arc.
Except for him, the remaining 21 players on the field all gathered in Manchester City's penalty area, whether it was Harland or De Gea.
Beside Chen Xiaoliang who scored a goal just now, Rico Lewis, Dias, and Stones, the three "S" sandwiched him like a hot dog.
In the entire Etihad Stadium, except for the VIP celebrity area, all the fans who bought tickets to enter the stadium stood up.
Some of them held their heads, some prayed, some put their hands on their noses and mouths, and some trembled with excitement.
The substitute players on the sidelines of Manchester United hugged each other's shoulders like watching a penalty shootout, and stood in a row waiting for the last ten seconds.
"Beep!"
The referee Slavko Vinci's whistle sounded like an order to extinguish all the noisy orders over Manchester, making the entire stadium instantly quiet!
Everyone is holding their breath, waiting for this corner kick to be taken!
Dalot made a run-up, and the Manchester United players in the penalty area began to rush towards the goal!
Chen Xiaoliang tried his best to break through the double-teaming of the three people, but those three people blocked him with their bodies desperately!
Dalot kicks the ball!
The height of the ball is a mess!
Seeing the height of the ball, Guan Zeyuan in the broadcast room couldn't help but let out an "oops" at the first moment.
Fly closer!
Zhan Jun: "Ben..."
"Later!!!"
General Fan and Guan Zeyuan yelled in unison: "Ah!!!" (General Fan also yelled: "Ce Na!!!")
Zhan Jun: "This goal has been scored!!!"
"Absolutely flat!!!"
"Countdown!!!"
"The countdown is absolutely flat!!!"
The hoarse roar of killing a pig came from both the scene and the live broadcast room in an instant, and even countless fans broke out in an uncontrollable roar in front of their TVs and computer screens!
After yelling for a while, General Fan probably realized that he was still in the live broadcast room: "Sorry, I'm not a professional commentator like Mr. Zhan, I really can't help it!"
Zhan Jun: "95 minutes and 11 seconds!"
"Manchester United took advantage of two extra-time corner kicks to draw Manchester City!"
"Xiao Liang also scored twice with a brace, chasing the score to 4-2, and the total score of the two rounds came to a 4-4 tie!"
"Let's watch the replay again!"
"Dalot took a corner kick, and Benzema started ahead of time, throwing off Ake and diving for the header, and the ball was rubbed to the back point!"
"The attention of the three people who were surrounded by Xiao Liang was attracted by Benzema's header. Xiao Liang seized the only opportunity and used a flying tackle-like action to pad the ball into the goal from behind. !"
"Halland, who was standing by the back post, witnessed the whole process!"
"He who is always cheerful can't help but lower his head at this time!"
Zhang Lu: "Oh, Guardiola is on his knees again..."
Guan Zeyuan: "Ten Hahe also knelt...I want to kneel for Xiaoliang too!"
Barrage: [My mother keeps asking me why I watch the ball on my knees]
On the field, Chen Xiaoliang and the players behind him rushed to the bench on the sidelines, hugged all the substitutes and shouted loudly!
Guardiola got up slowly, closed his eyes and stroked his bald head back and forth with both hands.
Beckham in the stands no longer cared that the people sitting next to him were football legends, business tycoons, or entertainers. He stood up and shouted at Chen Xiaoliang who was celebrating at the bottom of the stands. At that time, I found that he had already shed tears.
Older Manchester United fans know as well as Beckham that this scene is so similar to the scene of the 1999 Champions League final lore against Bayern.
Even Mourinho in the stands was delighted for Chen Xiaoliang while asking: "Is there really a divine will in the dark?!"
Sir Alex Ferguson, who rarely appeared at the Etihad Stadium, at the age of 82, was once again photographed shaking his clenched fists uncontrollably.
The referee Slavko Vinci glanced at the time on the wristband, and directly blew the whistle for the end of regular time.
This means that after only a 5-minute break, the game will enter a 30-minute overtime!
