Chapter 425 My life is up to me, not God!
From leading to falling behind, Guardiola squatted on the ground and held his head in his hands. Glarish and countless Manchester City fans in the stands also made the same movement.
And Chen Xiaoliang and his teammates rushed to the East Stand of the Manchester United fans, jumped high, and made his gliding punch to celebrate. The moment of punching and punching caused the Manchester United fans to shout "YES!"
"Beep!"
The celebration here is not over yet, the time is exactly 105 minutes, the referee Slavko Vinci stopped the game, and the first half of overtime ended.
While accepting the hugs and high-fives from his teammates, Chen Xiaoliang walked back to his bench with everyone.
Although the coaches of both sides have endless things to say, the only symbolic 2-minute hydration time does not allow them to say anything more. Guardiola can only grab a few players he considers important and keep exhorting and encouraging them.
Don't look at his plausible words, but in fact, he still doesn't understand why the game is played like this, why every time he meets this red countryman in an important game, he can't find a way to limit him.
On the other hand, Ten Hag over there was on the contrary. He was going to give up the chance to bet on the penalty shootout, and used the last substitution to let Luke Thomas play, replacing Luke Shaw, who had obviously weakened his feet.
The second half of overtime began soon, and the situation on the field changed significantly.
The reversed Manchester United began to defend, while Manchester City, which was about to be eliminated, started a desperate attack.
In the 107th minute, Harland received the ball from the penalty area line, turned his back and forced a shot, which missed the left post.
In the 108th minute, Kovacic took a long shot from outside the penalty area, but De Gea struggled to save it out of the penalty area with both palms.
In the 110th minute, Alvarez overtook the bottom on the right side and swept across the goal vigorously. Harland and Grealish outflanked back and forth, but the ball was shoveled out of the near post by Lima, who returned to defend.
In the 111th minute, Manchester City took a corner kick on the right, Kovacic took it, Stones headed the ball, and the ball flew out of the baseline against the upper edge of the crossbar.
All of a sudden, Manchester United's restricted area was full of panic and panic!
Manchester United only left Benzema, who can't run very much, to harass in the front, and the rest all retreated to the front and rear of the penalty area line to defend!
In the 112th minute, Glarish took advantage of his physical strength on the left to forcefully squeezed Wan Bisaka, who was stronger than him, inserted into the left side of the penalty area and shot into the far corner. De Gea swooped sideways to block the ball out of the baseline.
Following Manchester City's offensive, the fans of the two teams in the stands uttered "Oh!" and "Ah!" at the same time.
The extremely tense atmosphere even made two old fans over 85 years old feel chest tightness and discomfort. They called for medical assistance and were escorted to the infirmary for observation by medical staff.
Guardiola on the sidelines saw Grealish's beautiful curve shot being blocked by De Gea supernaturally, and angrily kicked the water bottle on the ground hard.
Unexpectedly, the water bottle flew to Manchester United's bench and hit the old coach McClaren in the face.
Guardiola held his head in his hands, and rushed to apologize while the fourth official didn't notice.
McLaren politely expressed his understanding, but Guardiola didn't want to stay for a moment because of the blank stares from the rest of the bench.
In the 113th minute, Manchester City took another corner kick because Grealish's shot was blocked just now.
Kovacic took a shot from the right. This time he chose a tactical corner kick and passed the ball to Akanji on the right rib. Akanji crossed to the middle. Rodri followed up with a powerful long shot.
Chen Xiaoliang rushed out, stretched his legs and shoveled, and blocked the long shot with the soles of his feet!
The ball bounced to the right. Akanji caught up with the ball and just controlled the ball. Chen Xiaoliang rushed over and shoveled twice. The ball was stabbed to the right. Kovacic chased back to get the ball.
General Fan: "Crazy to kill! Really crazy to kill! This state is called human madness here."
Unexpectedly, the fans and commentators here are still praising Chen Xiaoliang, and Kakovacic, who got up there, has already received the ball from the little caddy and quickly threw it out.
The Croatian midfielder, who will be 20 years old in more than 30 days, won three Champions Leagues with Real Madrid and won another Big Ears Cup after coming to Chelsea. As Modric's teammate in the national team, he and Brozovic formed a midfield combination that would not lose to any national team.
He saw that Chen Xiaoliang was unable to help defend in the middle on the side, and then used the cooperation of the home ball boy to quickly throw the ball out of bounds to Alvarez, who had already bottomed out on the right.
The throw-in was not offside. Alvarez went down to catch the ball, took a few steps towards the penalty area, and faced Luke Thomas with another powerful sweep towards the goal!
This time he finally failed to defend. Even though Lima and Lindelof were carrying Harland together, the "big devil who eats children" still used an unstoppable impact. Under the pull of the two, he forcibly rushed to the near post to outflank and stabbed with his left foot to score from the near corner.
Zhan Jun: "Haaland!"
"This goal is scored!!!"
"Manchester City equalized again!!!"
"Guardiola jumped up and down the pitch!"
"5 to 3, the total score is 5 to 5!"
"It's an amazing process! There are twists and turns! It's constantly touching the hearts of all the fans!"
Zhang Lu: "I can watch this game! Haha, it's almost 6 o'clock now, and it's already dawn in many places, but I believe many viewers must not be sleepy."
General Fan: "This kind of game is definitely a kind of enjoyment for the fans who stay up late, but it is recommended to take a break when you have time, otherwise it is really unbearable."
Zhan Jun: "Three guides, do you think this score will change?"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, it's hard to say. Now the comparison is willpower. Except for a few players, Grealish and others are basically reaching their limit, but we know Xiaoliang's physical strength. If his teammates can send good shots, he may still be able to score."
Guan Zeyuan: "Director Zhang and I may have different opinions. With the physical strength of the players on the field, especially Harland's goal, the two sides may form a mentality of balance."
"Now that either side presses forward, once the back-leakage player is scored, it will be beyond redemption. So I think the two sides will attack one attack tacitly, but they will not invest too much. Anyone can accept the penalty kick."
General Fan: "Nephew Guan has never played football. I don't know what kind of mentality you have in e-sports. At least when I play football, I am crazy on the field. I don't care if you win or not. Let's talk about it after the end."
Kick-off again, Chen Xiaoliang looked up, it was already 115 minutes and 46 seconds.
After the kick-off, the formation on the opposite side obviously recovered a bit.
Chen Xiaoliang didn't want to go into a penalty shootout. Although they just won a penalty kick the day before yesterday, the situation was even worse today.
After scoring a free kick just now, Luke Thomas has used up the last substitution quota, and Livakovic, who is good at saving penalties, can no longer be replaced.
And De Gea's ability to save penalty kicks can only be regarded as mediocre.
This is second to none, mainly because Cesco, Rashford, B Fee, Casemiro, Kwa, and other penalty shooters are all off the court. If they really enter the penalty shootout, both offense and defense are not conducive to their side.
attack!
Must continue to attack!
The kind of attack that never gives up until the last moment!
He moved forward and raised his right hand, showing his thumb, index and middle fingers.
This is the "three" gesture!
Within the team, that's what it means for a lob cross to the penalty spot.
At this time, it is also impossible to play fancy offensive coordination. The simplest split pass, using one's own bounce, header and grab points, to have a final duel with the opponent's defenders, is the simplest and most direct way of attack!
His teammates immediately understood.
Guardiola faintly felt bad on the sidelines. In the first half of the season when they met in the league, Chen Xiaoliang first raised "six" and then "nine" in the game.
At this moment, there is another "three". The key point is that Guardiola also asked the scouts to pay attention to the Manchester United game, but the scouts said that they have never seen Chen Xiaoliang make similar signals in other games.
Made, hard dishes are reserved for me, right?
Guardiola complained in his heart, while constantly waving his hands on the sidelines, signaling that the players are in place, in place, and in place again, and stand in every defensive position.
Everyone really couldn't play anymore. In the end, after passing a few kicks, they all chose to pass the ball to Luke Thomas who had just played, and let him and the substitute Ganacho make a fuss on the left.
Ganacho first dealt with Alvarez on the left, and then was double-teamed by Akanji who came up to defend. He passed back to Luke Thomas behind him, and Luke Jr. took the ball directly to the penalty spot with his left foot.
In the middle, Chen Xiaoliang and Benzema went forward together, but Benzema was basically unable to jump. Dias, Rico Lewis, and Rodri surrounded Chen Xiaoliang. In the end, the pass was still a little short, and Rodri kicked it to the midfield.
At 116 minutes and 30 seconds, Timber received the ball in the middle and reorganized the attack.
Alvarez, who came off the bench, is definitely the most aggressive player in Manchester City's frontcourt defense since the start of overtime.
As if he wanted to squeeze out his last bit of strength, he kept running up and down the right half of the court, intercepting and pressing.
Although he also sent an assist for Harland to equalize the score, the latter's brilliance was too dazzling. The hat-trick in this field once again established his status as the "world's first striker". Perhaps only the Frenchman in Paris is qualified to dispute this.
But Alvarez is not discouraged. He believes that even if he is beside or behind the Norwegian, there will be a place for him.
Timber passed the ball to the left, and this time Luke Thomas hadn't been able to advance much before being forced by Alvarez to almost concede the ball and had to kick it to Lima who stayed behind.
Seeing that there was no chance on the left, Lima had to pass to Wan Bisaka on the right.
Wan Bissaka took a few steps back to Lindelof who plugged in. Lindelof pushed forward and crossed the center line. After attracting Grealish to defend, he pushed the ball to Benzema in front.
Benzema retreated to catch the ball, Stones and Rodri followed up, Benzema knew he had no chance to turn around, so he pushed the ball back directly to Milinkovic.
Milinkovic caught the ball, slashed straight to the front right, and passed it to Dalot who advanced on the right side.
Dalot received the ball, and Ake rushed forward immediately.
But Dalot didn't let him get close, adjusted a few steps and kicked a cross directly near the corner of the penalty area on the right!
At this moment, the time is 117 minutes and 12 seconds.
The ball drew an arc in the air, and Dalot, who adjusted a few steps, knew that his legs might be weak due to fatigue, so he specially increased some strength to avoid passing the ball short again.
Unfortunately, this ball is still a little short.
In the penalty area, Benzema took away Stones and Rodri, with Dias in front of Chen Xiaoliang and Rico Lewis behind.
The ball was too short, so he had to retreat if he wanted to fight for it, but once he retreated, he couldn't form the momentum to reach the top. Coupled with this distance, it was impossible to score with a header.
Suddenly, time seemed to stand still, and Chen Xiaoliang only felt that he had seen this scene somewhere before.
His mind was spinning like flying, and he remembered it in an instant.
When he was at Rangers, he had a dream of playing against Manchester United in the Europa League.
I dreamed that on the fantastic night of March 3, a Manchester United player wearing the No. 33 jersey sent a cross from the right, and the No. 17 player in the penalty area defeated their rivals in the same city with a barb that was named the greatest Premier League goal in 10 years.
Subconsciously, Chen Xiaoliang turned around.
Rodri and Rico Lewis thought that Chen Xiaoliang turned around to head the ball back to his teammates. They also saw that the pass was short, and Chen Xiaoliang couldn't stand the threat.
Therefore, their defensive strategy at this time has changed from air defense to ground defense. As long as Chen Xiaoliang does not unload the ball in the penalty area, if he wants to push back, let him push back.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaoliang took off, but his posture was clearly not a posture of fighting for the top with his head.
After he took off, his upper body fell backwards. He swung his left foot upwards vigorously, and then drove his right foot upwards.
The short pass hit the right instep of his right foot.
The ball flew out.
At that moment, in the Etihad Stadium, the broadcast room, the football bar, the square where fans gathered to watch the game, and families all over the world, countless people could not help but raise their hands upward.
The ball was like a white light, like a sharp arrow, passing through all obstacles and flying into the dead corner in the upper right corner of the goal!
"yeah!!!!!!"
At the same time as countless people shouted, they raised their hands at the same time and stretched out to the sky!
Chen Xiaoliang rushed to the sidelines, rushed to the first row of the Manchester United fans stand, rushed into the crowd of crazy shouting fans and hugged them!
Zhan Jun: "Xiao Liang's fourth goal!"
"A great barb!"
"We can finally say that sentence again: Chen Xiaoliang is blessed and healthy at home!"
"117 minutes and 13 seconds!"
"I don't know if Rooney will cry with the Manchester United fans when he sees this ball!"
"Refused to draw! Refuse to give up!"
"This time it must be a lore!"
The camera showed Benzema, a veteran player who has seen everything, holding his head with both hands, and ran to Chen Xiaoliang to celebrate with him in disbelief.
Zhang Lu: "I really want to ask Benzema, in his eyes, who is the strongest player."
General Fan: "During this summer's offseason, if Xiao Liang returns to Donghai, I must find a chance to meet him and pay respects to him face to face."
Guan Zeyuan: "This is a great game that will definitely be recorded in football history!"
"If the Champions League selects the most exciting game of the 21st century, I will definitely vote for this one!"
"You have seen a real warrior!"
"Not only did he single-handedly pull the team back from the cliff in stoppage time, but he also wanted to kill the game twice in overtime!"
"And in front of him is Guardiola and his Manchester City, who have been feared in England and Europe in recent years!"
"He fought to the end. After playing all three games in five days, he once again showed everyone what is called a trump card and what is called a leader with extreme heroism!"
"For the sake of sacrifice, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky!"
Zhan Jun and Guan Zeyuan said loudly at the same time: "The sky in Manchester is red!"
Guardiola looked up at the big screen, 5 to 4, but the total score has become 5 to 6.
Manchester United is still celebrating, and the time is still passing. The referee is already urging the Manchester United players to return to their positions, but there is only a little more than 1 minute left for Manchester City.
"Forward! Press forward!"
Guardiola kept waving and shouting, but the confusion on the faces of Manchester City players was hard to hide.
"Beep!"
At 118 minutes and 01 seconds, Harland kicked off the ball and kicked it directly to goalkeeper Ederson. Manchester City's 8 players lined up on the center line all started to run forward.
Ederson took a few steps, took a few more steps, and kept pushing towards the center line, just to get his teammates closer to the Manchester United penalty area.
Benzema slowly approached, and Edson drove directly to the front left with a big foot, looking for Glarish.
Wan Bisaka, who was defending him against him, obviously had weak legs, and not long after Glarish played, Ederson wanted to play a player with poor physical strength and poor confrontation.
The ball flies high and falls fast.
Grealish has already leaned on Wan Bissaka, waiting for the ball to fall overhead.
However, just as he was about to take off and unload the ball, a burst of red light flew past him, pushing the ball that he was about to get out of the sideline.
Grealish took a closer look, it was Chen Xiaoliang!
As he rushed to the sideline to ask the ball boy for the ball, he thought to himself: "What did this guy eat to grow up? Why is he still running so fast?! Isn't he tired?!"
"Aaron!" Chen Xiaoliang shouted Wan Bisaka's name while running to the corner of the penalty area.
Wan Bisaka raised his left hand to signal to Chen Xiaoliang behind him that he heard it.
This roar lifted his spirits.
Ake rushed over, took the ball from Glarish, and threw the ball directly into the penalty area with a run-up.
But this time he didn't have much strength, the ball flew to the left sideline of the penalty area and fell a little bit.
Stones, who was on the top, rubbed the header and wanted to rub it in for Harland, but De Gea flew out, picked the ball off with both hands, and fell to the ground and pressed it firmly under his body.
Zhan Jun: "118 minutes and 31 seconds!"
"De Gea didn't get up, he was waiting for the Manchester City players in the penalty area to retreat."
"Ruben Dias seems to be complaining to the referee that De Gea was deliberately delaying time."
"Referee Slavko Vinci ignored it but kept his eyes on De Gea."
De Gea got up slowly, looked behind him on both sides, and then patted the ball.
It was already 118 minutes and 51 seconds.
"Beep!"
Referee Slavko Vinci shows De Gea a yellow card!
General Fan: "De Gea is very experienced. It doesn't matter if the goalkeeper receives a yellow card at this time, but it took 30 seconds."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, if you get a yellow card and say a few words to the referee, you can still lose about ten seconds."
On the sidelines, Ten Hag shouted: "It's the last minute!"
This is of course an incentive to their own players and a threat to Manchester City players.
Time, the time left for Manchester City is really running out.
At 119 minutes and 7 seconds, De Gea finally took a big kick. The ball flew forward and Milinkovic competed for the top. At this time, he and Chen Xiaoliang had switched positions.
Stones' take-off interfered with Milinkovic, and the top of the ball was crooked. Rico Lewis on the side made a mistake and wanted to pass directly to Harland, but the ball passed to Chen Xiaoliang behind Harland.
Harland turned around and chased after Chen Xiaoliang, who had already dribbled the ball forward.
Rico Lewis immediately pounced on him, but what he didn't understand was that even though he only played in the second half, why did he feel that he was almost unable to sprint now, but the main defense object in front of him could still run and jump?
Chen Xiaoliang swayed past Rico Lewis who was about to "power out" with a change of direction.
He continued to move forward, and Rodri and Stones made up for it, but their pace was already very slow. Harland behind Chen Xiaoliang was also chasing, but he was also struggling.
Chen Xiaoliang originally wanted to control the ball for a while, and even took it to the side, to the corner, and used his body to hold the opponent to kill time, but when he took it to a place about 10 meters away from the penalty area line, he clearly saw a red figure shaking in front of the left, which was very eye-catching.
Wild fire, in spring.
If you want to kill the game, kill your opponent, you have to kill it completely!
Chen Xiaoliang immediately used his right foot to launch a big diagonal through ball from the right rib to the left side of the penalty area!
In the penalty area, the eye-catching red No. 35 who was ignored by Manchester City's defense, the Golden Globe winner who was ready to leave Real Madrid and go to Saudi Arabia to seek gold, took a step forward and received a pass from Chen Xiaoliang.
Edson, who was attacking, went to the ground with all his strength and stretched out his hand to the left to block, but the close-in and extremely tricky shot had already rolled past him, and then rolled into the goal under the gaze of his back and the desperate eyes of all the Manchester City fans!
Zhan Jun: "Lore!!!"
"This time I can finally be sure to be a lore!!!" (General Fan: Old Chaos!!!)
"Benzema, in the last minute of the 120-minute battle, 1 minutes and 119 seconds, scored a goal that completely killed the game!!!"
Guan Zeyuan: "Is Luo Ye's life just to return to his roots? Benzema told us with a goal, no!"
"Even though his career has come to an end, but looking back on the past and making further progress, the pride of the Ballon d'Or and the confidence of winning the Champions League five times let the world see that he is a towering tree. He is still there and will always be erected in the history of European football!"
Zhan Jun: "The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game! After falling behind twice, Manchester United finally drew 5-5 and eliminated Manchester City with a total score of 5-7."
"Goodbye, Manchester City! Goodbye, Guardiola!"
"Chen Xiaoliang, he has redefined the meaning of the strongest midfielder with his own performance!"
"His performance today is also like shouting the phrase to all opponents: 'My life is up to me, not up to God!'"
"Now, before his personal journey to defend the Champions League, there is the last, and probably the most familiar person-Mourinho!"
"On the night of May 5th, at Wembley Stadium, the two who once fought side by side to win the Triple Crown will meet as rivals!"
"At that time, there is destined to be a person who will become a god, then we will save the suspense until that night, and witness the final glorious moment together!"
After scoring the goal, Benzema seemed to be returning to the light, and ran to the bench as if he had forgotten his fatigue.
He rushed to embrace Casemiro and Varane, and it was these two guys who told him that there was a guy in Manchester who might have a lot of Golden Globes, which aroused his interest and delayed the plan to go to Saudi Arabia.
Manchester United's players and coaches all surrounded and threw the veteran to the ground.
On the field, Harland crossed his hips and panted helplessly, while Alvarez sat on the ground, and couldn't help crying in his eyes. Akanji, who missed Benzema, didn't get up after the tackle, and lay directly on the lawn of the penalty area.
Two goals behind, when Manchester United come back to celebrate, the game will be over as soon as the ball is kicked out.
Their fate has been pronounced, and there is no chance of any change.
At the cost of giving up the FA Cup, Manchester City failed to get back the result they wanted, although they were so close at one point.
Sure enough, as everyone expected, Harland had just kicked the ball out in the middle circle when the referee Slavko Vinci blew the whistle for the end of the game!
The fans of Manchester City left the field with a sigh, but the fans of Manchester United were still singing loudly.
In the VIP stands, celebrities around came to congratulate Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill.
Even Manchester City CEO Soriano congratulated Manchester United boss Jassim in a gentlemanly manner.
And Mourinho, after Benzema scored just now, got up and left from the passage.
In this game, he saw everything he wanted to see. After returning, he will have more than a month to prepare for the Champions League final.
To prepare to face the Red Devils No. 7 that no one has been able to figure out a way to deal with, and who fought with him in the past.
Players from both sides greeted each other on the field, and Chen Xiaoliang met Harland.
One is high-spirited and the other is full of helplessness.
Chen Xiaoliang spread his hands: "How about I treat you to a hamburger?"
Harland smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about it, I'm not in the mood, I lost to you again."
Chen Xiaoliang asked back: "Are you the kind of person who will be discouraged by this?"
Harland took off his jersey and handed it to Chen Xiaoliang: "Dream, I will definitely win next time!"
Chen Xiaoliang laughed and took off the jersey to him.
The hero cherishes the hero. The two scored 10 goals out of 7 goals in this game. The exchange of jerseys at this moment also made many audiences around the world who are still reluctant to turn off the screen show a gratified smile.
Guardiola was in a bad mood, but in any case, the moment the game ended was a relief for him. After shaking hands with his old colleague Ten Hag, he turned directly into the player tunnel.
He needs to rest and calm down in the locker room before going to the post-match press conference, where he is destined to be under heavy fire.
Also in the player tunnel, Benzema, Casemiro and Varane, who were walking back side by side, were talking and laughing.
Casemiro asked Benzema: "That question, did you tell Chen the answer in your heart?"
Benzema: "Oh Kang busy, it's too stupid to say it in person, but do you need to say the answer to this question?"
"If it was that person who took the ball just now, he would definitely not pass the ball to me, but directly fired a long shot."
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. As long as you can score goals, whatever you do is right."
Varane: "Don't post it on social media, be careful that that person's fans drown you with saliva."
Casemiro: "That guy Killian is also incomparable?"
Benzema sneered contemptuously: "Oh, that guy, when he gets his first Golden Globe, think about surpassing me first, and then talk about surpassing others."
Benzema: "Playing football with this kid, not to mention being a green leaf, I am willing to be a dirt."
Casemiro: "So you think this kid is the best player you've ever seen?"
Benzema: "That's right, but he still needs some honor. By then he will be the undisputed strongest person!"

From leading to falling behind, Guardiola squatted on the ground and held his head in his hands. Glarish and countless Manchester City fans in the stands also made the same movement.
And Chen Xiaoliang and his teammates rushed to the East Stand of the Manchester United fans, jumped high, and made his gliding punch to celebrate. The moment of punching and punching caused the Manchester United fans to shout "YES!"
"Beep!"
The celebration here is not over yet, the time is exactly 105 minutes, the referee Slavko Vinci stopped the game, and the first half of overtime ended.
While accepting the hugs and high-fives from his teammates, Chen Xiaoliang walked back to his bench with everyone.
Although the coaches of both sides have endless things to say, the only symbolic 2-minute hydration time does not allow them to say anything more. Guardiola can only grab a few players he considers important and keep exhorting and encouraging them.
Don't look at his plausible words, but in fact, he still doesn't understand why the game is played like this, why every time he meets this red countryman in an important game, he can't find a way to limit him.
On the other hand, Ten Hag over there was on the contrary. He was going to give up the chance to bet on the penalty shootout, and used the last substitution to let Luke Thomas play, replacing Luke Shaw, who had obviously weakened his feet.
The second half of overtime began soon, and the situation on the field changed significantly.
The reversed Manchester United began to defend, while Manchester City, which was about to be eliminated, started a desperate attack.
In the 107th minute, Harland received the ball from the penalty area line, turned his back and forced a shot, which missed the left post.
In the 108th minute, Kovacic took a long shot from outside the penalty area, but De Gea struggled to save it out of the penalty area with both palms.
In the 110th minute, Alvarez overtook the bottom on the right side and swept across the goal vigorously. Harland and Grealish outflanked back and forth, but the ball was shoveled out of the near post by Lima, who returned to defend.
In the 111th minute, Manchester City took a corner kick on the right, Kovacic took it, Stones headed the ball, and the ball flew out of the baseline against the upper edge of the crossbar.
All of a sudden, Manchester United's restricted area was full of panic and panic!
Manchester United only left Benzema, who can't run very much, to harass in the front, and the rest all retreated to the front and rear of the penalty area line to defend!
In the 112th minute, Glarish took advantage of his physical strength on the left to forcefully squeezed Wan Bisaka, who was stronger than him, inserted into the left side of the penalty area and shot into the far corner. De Gea swooped sideways to block the ball out of the baseline.
Following Manchester City's offensive, the fans of the two teams in the stands uttered "Oh!" and "Ah!" at the same time.
The extremely tense atmosphere even made two old fans over 85 years old feel chest tightness and discomfort. They called for medical assistance and were escorted to the infirmary for observation by medical staff.
Guardiola on the sidelines saw Grealish's beautiful curve shot being blocked by De Gea supernaturally, and angrily kicked the water bottle on the ground hard.
Unexpectedly, the water bottle flew to Manchester United's bench and hit the old coach McClaren in the face.
Guardiola held his head in his hands, and rushed to apologize while the fourth official didn't notice.
McLaren politely expressed his understanding, but Guardiola didn't want to stay for a moment because of the blank stares from the rest of the bench.
In the 113th minute, Manchester City took another corner kick because Grealish's shot was blocked just now.
Kovacic took a shot from the right. This time he chose a tactical corner kick and passed the ball to Akanji on the right rib. Akanji crossed to the middle. Rodri followed up with a powerful long shot.
Chen Xiaoliang rushed out, stretched his legs and shoveled, and blocked the long shot with the soles of his feet!
The ball bounced to the right. Akanji caught up with the ball and just controlled the ball. Chen Xiaoliang rushed over and shoveled twice. The ball was stabbed to the right. Kovacic chased back to get the ball.
General Fan: "Crazy to kill! Really crazy to kill! This state is called human madness here."
Unexpectedly, the fans and commentators here are still praising Chen Xiaoliang, and Kakovacic, who got up there, has already received the ball from the little caddy and quickly threw it out.
The Croatian midfielder, who will be 20 years old in more than 30 days, won three Champions Leagues with Real Madrid and won another Big Ears Cup after coming to Chelsea. As Modric's teammate in the national team, he and Brozovic formed a midfield combination that would not lose to any national team.
He saw that Chen Xiaoliang was unable to help defend in the middle on the side, and then used the cooperation of the home ball boy to quickly throw the ball out of bounds to Alvarez, who had already bottomed out on the right.
The throw-in was not offside. Alvarez went down to catch the ball, took a few steps towards the penalty area, and faced Luke Thomas with another powerful sweep towards the goal!
This time he finally failed to defend. Even though Lima and Lindelof were carrying Harland together, the "big devil who eats children" still used an unstoppable impact. Under the pull of the two, he forcibly rushed to the near post to outflank and stabbed with his left foot to score from the near corner.
Zhan Jun: "Haaland!"
"This goal is scored!!!"
"Manchester City equalized again!!!"
"Guardiola jumped up and down the pitch!"
"5 to 3, the total score is 5 to 5!"
"It's an amazing process! There are twists and turns! It's constantly touching the hearts of all the fans!"
Zhang Lu: "I can watch this game! Haha, it's almost 6 o'clock now, and it's already dawn in many places, but I believe many viewers must not be sleepy."
General Fan: "This kind of game is definitely a kind of enjoyment for the fans who stay up late, but it is recommended to take a break when you have time, otherwise it is really unbearable."
Zhan Jun: "Three guides, do you think this score will change?"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, it's hard to say. Now the comparison is willpower. Except for a few players, Grealish and others are basically reaching their limit, but we know Xiaoliang's physical strength. If his teammates can send good shots, he may still be able to score."
Guan Zeyuan: "Director Zhang and I may have different opinions. With the physical strength of the players on the field, especially Harland's goal, the two sides may form a mentality of balance."
"Now that either side presses forward, once the back-leakage player is scored, it will be beyond redemption. So I think the two sides will attack one attack tacitly, but they will not invest too much. Anyone can accept the penalty kick."
General Fan: "Nephew Guan has never played football. I don't know what kind of mentality you have in e-sports. At least when I play football, I am crazy on the field. I don't care if you win or not. Let's talk about it after the end."
Kick-off again, Chen Xiaoliang looked up, it was already 115 minutes and 46 seconds.
After the kick-off, the formation on the opposite side obviously recovered a bit.
Chen Xiaoliang didn't want to go into a penalty shootout. Although they just won a penalty kick the day before yesterday, the situation was even worse today.
After scoring a free kick just now, Luke Thomas has used up the last substitution quota, and Livakovic, who is good at saving penalties, can no longer be replaced.
And De Gea's ability to save penalty kicks can only be regarded as mediocre.
This is second to none, mainly because Cesco, Rashford, B Fee, Casemiro, Kwa, and other penalty shooters are all off the court. If they really enter the penalty shootout, both offense and defense are not conducive to their side.
attack!
Must continue to attack!
The kind of attack that never gives up until the last moment!
He moved forward and raised his right hand, showing his thumb, index and middle fingers.
This is the "three" gesture!
Within the team, that's what it means for a lob cross to the penalty spot.
At this time, it is also impossible to play fancy offensive coordination. The simplest split pass, using one's own bounce, header and grab points, to have a final duel with the opponent's defenders, is the simplest and most direct way of attack!
His teammates immediately understood.
Guardiola faintly felt bad on the sidelines. In the first half of the season when they met in the league, Chen Xiaoliang first raised "six" and then "nine" in the game.
At this moment, there is another "three". The key point is that Guardiola also asked the scouts to pay attention to the Manchester United game, but the scouts said that they have never seen Chen Xiaoliang make similar signals in other games.
Made, hard dishes are reserved for me, right?
Guardiola complained in his heart, while constantly waving his hands on the sidelines, signaling that the players are in place, in place, and in place again, and stand in every defensive position.
Everyone really couldn't play anymore. In the end, after passing a few kicks, they all chose to pass the ball to Luke Thomas who had just played, and let him and the substitute Ganacho make a fuss on the left.
Ganacho first dealt with Alvarez on the left, and then was double-teamed by Akanji who came up to defend. He passed back to Luke Thomas behind him, and Luke Jr. took the ball directly to the penalty spot with his left foot.
In the middle, Chen Xiaoliang and Benzema went forward together, but Benzema was basically unable to jump. Dias, Rico Lewis, and Rodri surrounded Chen Xiaoliang. In the end, the pass was still a little short, and Rodri kicked it to the midfield.
At 116 minutes and 30 seconds, Timber received the ball in the middle and reorganized the attack.
Alvarez, who came off the bench, is definitely the most aggressive player in Manchester City's frontcourt defense since the start of overtime.
As if he wanted to squeeze out his last bit of strength, he kept running up and down the right half of the court, intercepting and pressing.
Although he also sent an assist for Harland to equalize the score, the latter's brilliance was too dazzling. The hat-trick in this field once again established his status as the "world's first striker". Perhaps only the Frenchman in Paris is qualified to dispute this.
But Alvarez is not discouraged. He believes that even if he is beside or behind the Norwegian, there will be a place for him.
Timber passed the ball to the left, and this time Luke Thomas hadn't been able to advance much before being forced by Alvarez to almost concede the ball and had to kick it to Lima who stayed behind.
Seeing that there was no chance on the left, Lima had to pass to Wan Bisaka on the right.
Wan Bissaka took a few steps back to Lindelof who plugged in. Lindelof pushed forward and crossed the center line. After attracting Grealish to defend, he pushed the ball to Benzema in front.
Benzema retreated to catch the ball, Stones and Rodri followed up, Benzema knew he had no chance to turn around, so he pushed the ball back directly to Milinkovic.
Milinkovic caught the ball, slashed straight to the front right, and passed it to Dalot who advanced on the right side.
Dalot received the ball, and Ake rushed forward immediately.
But Dalot didn't let him get close, adjusted a few steps and kicked a cross directly near the corner of the penalty area on the right!
At this moment, the time is 117 minutes and 12 seconds.
The ball drew an arc in the air, and Dalot, who adjusted a few steps, knew that his legs might be weak due to fatigue, so he specially increased some strength to avoid passing the ball short again.
Unfortunately, this ball is still a little short.
In the penalty area, Benzema took away Stones and Rodri, with Dias in front of Chen Xiaoliang and Rico Lewis behind.
The ball was too short, so he had to retreat if he wanted to fight for it, but once he retreated, he couldn't form the momentum to reach the top. Coupled with this distance, it was impossible to score with a header.
Suddenly, time seemed to stand still, and Chen Xiaoliang only felt that he had seen this scene somewhere before.
His mind was spinning like flying, and he remembered it in an instant.
When he was at Rangers, he had a dream of playing against Manchester United in the Europa League.
I dreamed that on the fantastic night of March 3, a Manchester United player wearing the No. 33 jersey sent a cross from the right, and the No. 17 player in the penalty area defeated their rivals in the same city with a barb that was named the greatest Premier League goal in 10 years.
Subconsciously, Chen Xiaoliang turned around.
Rodri and Rico Lewis thought that Chen Xiaoliang turned around to head the ball back to his teammates. They also saw that the pass was short, and Chen Xiaoliang couldn't stand the threat.
Therefore, their defensive strategy at this time has changed from air defense to ground defense. As long as Chen Xiaoliang does not unload the ball in the penalty area, if he wants to push back, let him push back.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaoliang took off, but his posture was clearly not a posture of fighting for the top with his head.
After he took off, his upper body fell backwards. He swung his left foot upwards vigorously, and then drove his right foot upwards.
The short pass hit the right instep of his right foot.
The ball flew out.
At that moment, in the Etihad Stadium, the broadcast room, the football bar, the square where fans gathered to watch the game, and families all over the world, countless people could not help but raise their hands upward.
The ball was like a white light, like a sharp arrow, passing through all obstacles and flying into the dead corner in the upper right corner of the goal!
"yeah!!!!!!"
At the same time as countless people shouted, they raised their hands at the same time and stretched out to the sky!
Chen Xiaoliang rushed to the sidelines, rushed to the first row of the Manchester United fans stand, rushed into the crowd of crazy shouting fans and hugged them!
Zhan Jun: "Xiao Liang's fourth goal!"
"A great barb!"
"We can finally say that sentence again: Chen Xiaoliang is blessed and healthy at home!"
"117 minutes and 13 seconds!"
"I don't know if Rooney will cry with the Manchester United fans when he sees this ball!"
"Refused to draw! Refuse to give up!"
"This time it must be a lore!"
The camera showed Benzema, a veteran player who has seen everything, holding his head with both hands, and ran to Chen Xiaoliang to celebrate with him in disbelief.
Zhang Lu: "I really want to ask Benzema, in his eyes, who is the strongest player."
General Fan: "During this summer's offseason, if Xiao Liang returns to Donghai, I must find a chance to meet him and pay respects to him face to face."
Guan Zeyuan: "This is a great game that will definitely be recorded in football history!"
"If the Champions League selects the most exciting game of the 21st century, I will definitely vote for this one!"
"You have seen a real warrior!"
"Not only did he single-handedly pull the team back from the cliff in stoppage time, but he also wanted to kill the game twice in overtime!"
"And in front of him is Guardiola and his Manchester City, who have been feared in England and Europe in recent years!"
"He fought to the end. After playing all three games in five days, he once again showed everyone what is called a trump card and what is called a leader with extreme heroism!"
"For the sake of sacrifice, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky!"
Zhan Jun and Guan Zeyuan said loudly at the same time: "The sky in Manchester is red!"
Guardiola looked up at the big screen, 5 to 4, but the total score has become 5 to 6.
Manchester United is still celebrating, and the time is still passing. The referee is already urging the Manchester United players to return to their positions, but there is only a little more than 1 minute left for Manchester City.
"Forward! Press forward!"
Guardiola kept waving and shouting, but the confusion on the faces of Manchester City players was hard to hide.
"Beep!"
At 118 minutes and 01 seconds, Harland kicked off the ball and kicked it directly to goalkeeper Ederson. Manchester City's 8 players lined up on the center line all started to run forward.
Ederson took a few steps, took a few more steps, and kept pushing towards the center line, just to get his teammates closer to the Manchester United penalty area.
Benzema slowly approached, and Edson drove directly to the front left with a big foot, looking for Glarish.
Wan Bisaka, who was defending him against him, obviously had weak legs, and not long after Glarish played, Ederson wanted to play a player with poor physical strength and poor confrontation.
The ball flies high and falls fast.
Grealish has already leaned on Wan Bissaka, waiting for the ball to fall overhead.
However, just as he was about to take off and unload the ball, a burst of red light flew past him, pushing the ball that he was about to get out of the sideline.
Grealish took a closer look, it was Chen Xiaoliang!
As he rushed to the sideline to ask the ball boy for the ball, he thought to himself: "What did this guy eat to grow up? Why is he still running so fast?! Isn't he tired?!"
"Aaron!" Chen Xiaoliang shouted Wan Bisaka's name while running to the corner of the penalty area.
Wan Bisaka raised his left hand to signal to Chen Xiaoliang behind him that he heard it.
This roar lifted his spirits.
Ake rushed over, took the ball from Glarish, and threw the ball directly into the penalty area with a run-up.
But this time he didn't have much strength, the ball flew to the left sideline of the penalty area and fell a little bit.
Stones, who was on the top, rubbed the header and wanted to rub it in for Harland, but De Gea flew out, picked the ball off with both hands, and fell to the ground and pressed it firmly under his body.
Zhan Jun: "118 minutes and 31 seconds!"
"De Gea didn't get up, he was waiting for the Manchester City players in the penalty area to retreat."
"Ruben Dias seems to be complaining to the referee that De Gea was deliberately delaying time."
"Referee Slavko Vinci ignored it but kept his eyes on De Gea."
De Gea got up slowly, looked behind him on both sides, and then patted the ball.
It was already 118 minutes and 51 seconds.
"Beep!"
Referee Slavko Vinci shows De Gea a yellow card!
General Fan: "De Gea is very experienced. It doesn't matter if the goalkeeper receives a yellow card at this time, but it took 30 seconds."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, if you get a yellow card and say a few words to the referee, you can still lose about ten seconds."
On the sidelines, Ten Hag shouted: "It's the last minute!"
This is of course an incentive to their own players and a threat to Manchester City players.
Time, the time left for Manchester City is really running out.
At 119 minutes and 7 seconds, De Gea finally took a big kick. The ball flew forward and Milinkovic competed for the top. At this time, he and Chen Xiaoliang had switched positions.
Stones' take-off interfered with Milinkovic, and the top of the ball was crooked. Rico Lewis on the side made a mistake and wanted to pass directly to Harland, but the ball passed to Chen Xiaoliang behind Harland.
Harland turned around and chased after Chen Xiaoliang, who had already dribbled the ball forward.
Rico Lewis immediately pounced on him, but what he didn't understand was that even though he only played in the second half, why did he feel that he was almost unable to sprint now, but the main defense object in front of him could still run and jump?
Chen Xiaoliang swayed past Rico Lewis who was about to "power out" with a change of direction.
He continued to move forward, and Rodri and Stones made up for it, but their pace was already very slow. Harland behind Chen Xiaoliang was also chasing, but he was also struggling.
Chen Xiaoliang originally wanted to control the ball for a while, and even took it to the side, to the corner, and used his body to hold the opponent to kill time, but when he took it to a place about 10 meters away from the penalty area line, he clearly saw a red figure shaking in front of the left, which was very eye-catching.
Wild fire, in spring.
If you want to kill the game, kill your opponent, you have to kill it completely!
Chen Xiaoliang immediately used his right foot to launch a big diagonal through ball from the right rib to the left side of the penalty area!
In the penalty area, the eye-catching red No. 35 who was ignored by Manchester City's defense, the Golden Globe winner who was ready to leave Real Madrid and go to Saudi Arabia to seek gold, took a step forward and received a pass from Chen Xiaoliang.
Edson, who was attacking, went to the ground with all his strength and stretched out his hand to the left to block, but the close-in and extremely tricky shot had already rolled past him, and then rolled into the goal under the gaze of his back and the desperate eyes of all the Manchester City fans!
Zhan Jun: "Lore!!!"
"This time I can finally be sure to be a lore!!!" (General Fan: Old Chaos!!!)
"Benzema, in the last minute of the 120-minute battle, 1 minutes and 119 seconds, scored a goal that completely killed the game!!!"
Guan Zeyuan: "Is Luo Ye's life just to return to his roots? Benzema told us with a goal, no!"
"Even though his career has come to an end, but looking back on the past and making further progress, the pride of the Ballon d'Or and the confidence of winning the Champions League five times let the world see that he is a towering tree. He is still there and will always be erected in the history of European football!"
Zhan Jun: "The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game! After falling behind twice, Manchester United finally drew 5-5 and eliminated Manchester City with a total score of 5-7."
"Goodbye, Manchester City! Goodbye, Guardiola!"
"Chen Xiaoliang, he has redefined the meaning of the strongest midfielder with his own performance!"
"His performance today is also like shouting the phrase to all opponents: 'My life is up to me, not up to God!'"
"Now, before his personal journey to defend the Champions League, there is the last, and probably the most familiar person-Mourinho!"
"On the night of May 5th, at Wembley Stadium, the two who once fought side by side to win the Triple Crown will meet as rivals!"
"At that time, there is destined to be a person who will become a god, then we will save the suspense until that night, and witness the final glorious moment together!"
After scoring the goal, Benzema seemed to be returning to the light, and ran to the bench as if he had forgotten his fatigue.
He rushed to embrace Casemiro and Varane, and it was these two guys who told him that there was a guy in Manchester who might have a lot of Golden Globes, which aroused his interest and delayed the plan to go to Saudi Arabia.
Manchester United's players and coaches all surrounded and threw the veteran to the ground.
On the field, Harland crossed his hips and panted helplessly, while Alvarez sat on the ground, and couldn't help crying in his eyes. Akanji, who missed Benzema, didn't get up after the tackle, and lay directly on the lawn of the penalty area.
Two goals behind, when Manchester United come back to celebrate, the game will be over as soon as the ball is kicked out.
Their fate has been pronounced, and there is no chance of any change.
At the cost of giving up the FA Cup, Manchester City failed to get back the result they wanted, although they were so close at one point.
Sure enough, as everyone expected, Harland had just kicked the ball out in the middle circle when the referee Slavko Vinci blew the whistle for the end of the game!
The fans of Manchester City left the field with a sigh, but the fans of Manchester United were still singing loudly.
In the VIP stands, celebrities around came to congratulate Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill.
Even Manchester City CEO Soriano congratulated Manchester United boss Jassim in a gentlemanly manner.
And Mourinho, after Benzema scored just now, got up and left from the passage.
In this game, he saw everything he wanted to see. After returning, he will have more than a month to prepare for the Champions League final.
To prepare to face the Red Devils No. 7 that no one has been able to figure out a way to deal with, and who fought with him in the past.
Players from both sides greeted each other on the field, and Chen Xiaoliang met Harland.
One is high-spirited and the other is full of helplessness.
Chen Xiaoliang spread his hands: "How about I treat you to a hamburger?"
Harland smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about it, I'm not in the mood, I lost to you again."
Chen Xiaoliang asked back: "Are you the kind of person who will be discouraged by this?"
Harland took off his jersey and handed it to Chen Xiaoliang: "Dream, I will definitely win next time!"
Chen Xiaoliang laughed and took off the jersey to him.
The hero cherishes the hero. The two scored 10 goals out of 7 goals in this game. The exchange of jerseys at this moment also made many audiences around the world who are still reluctant to turn off the screen show a gratified smile.
Guardiola was in a bad mood, but in any case, the moment the game ended was a relief for him. After shaking hands with his old colleague Ten Hag, he turned directly into the player tunnel.
He needs to rest and calm down in the locker room before going to the post-match press conference, where he is destined to be under heavy fire.
Also in the player tunnel, Benzema, Casemiro and Varane, who were walking back side by side, were talking and laughing.
Casemiro asked Benzema: "That question, did you tell Chen the answer in your heart?"
Benzema: "Oh Kang busy, it's too stupid to say it in person, but do you need to say the answer to this question?"
"If it was that person who took the ball just now, he would definitely not pass the ball to me, but directly fired a long shot."
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. As long as you can score goals, whatever you do is right."
Varane: "Don't post it on social media, be careful that that person's fans drown you with saliva."
Casemiro: "That guy Killian is also incomparable?"
Benzema sneered contemptuously: "Oh, that guy, when he gets his first Golden Globe, think about surpassing me first, and then talk about surpassing others."
Benzema: "Playing football with this kid, not to mention being a green leaf, I am willing to be a dirt."
Casemiro: "So you think this kid is the best player you've ever seen?"
Benzema: "That's right, but he still needs some honor. By then he will be the undisputed strongest person!"
