Chapter 462 Reaching the Finals!
Manchester United drew with Arsenal as they once again extended their lead to six points.
Now they are getting closer and closer to the league title.
If the goal difference advantage is taken into account, Manchester United only needs to win one more game to win the championship.
So next, Manchester United's most important stadium is the Europa League.
As the starting point for Manchester United's revival, Mourinho is very much looking forward to the team being able to once again prove the power of the Red Devils on the European stage.
On May 5, Manchester United visited Rome.
In the Olympic Stadium, the Red Devils and the Red Wolves met.
This is destined to be a bloody fight, and neither side will hold back.
Especially Rome.
A few days ago, they ran into trouble.
In a life-and-death battle between Juventus and Roma, the Bianconeri had the last laugh.
The 3-0 victory caused Roma to be instantly defeated.
With three games remaining, Roma's Serie A title is in jeopardy.
Spalletti was in a bad mood, and the duck he got was about to fly away.
So in the Europa League, he has to fight for his last chance.
If you can't win the league championship, then winning the Europa League is not bad!
Facts have proven that in many cases, the more choices, the worse the results.
If you want everything, you may get nothing.
In this game, Roma still used a 3-4-3 formation and attacked with all their strength.
而曼联这边则进行了变阵，之前的4-2-3-1阵型，今天变成了4-3-2-1阵型。
The Christmas tree formation, which is Ancelotti's favorite tactical play, is now borrowed by Mourinho.
Three defensive midfielders Xia Xing, Fellaini and Herrera, two attacking midfielders Rashford and Mkhitaryan, and center Rooney.
In this game, Mourinho gave Ibrahimovic a rest and put Rooney in the center position, behind him were two master dribblers, Rashford and Mkhitaryan.
It is obvious that Mourinho wants to thoroughly implement counterattack tactics in this game.
In the midfielder position, Pogba was also on the bench today, and Mourinho sent Herrera who was more active in fighting and defending.
Xia Xing is still the core organizer, and Fellaini and Herrera are Xia Xing's defensive partners.
This is to ensure that the team can stabilize the midfield and backfield defenses and ensure that they do not concede the ball.
Anyway, Manchester United has a two-goal difference advantage today, and their mentality is very stable.
But unexpectedly, not long after the game started, Manchester United ran into trouble.
A fight in the frontcourt, Salah quickly advanced!
On the left wing, he directly broke through the defense of Mkhitaryan and Fellaini!
Two people in a row!
Facing Valencia's pressing, he continuously changed directions and rushed into the penalty area!
Pull the ball, suddenly a dunk!
Valencia steals the ball!
He kicked Salah's ankle!
The referee's whistle sounded!
penalty!
Mourinho protested loudly on the sidelines!
But the referee was unmoved!
Although Salah was suspected of looking for a penalty kick, Valencia did kick someone, and there was no problem with the penalty kick.
Roma captain Totti slowly walked up and stood at the penalty spot.
Put down the ball and back away slowly.
De Gea looked serious and stared at every little move of the Roma captain.
Slowly retreat, wait for the referee's whistle, take a run, and shoot!
It's a spoon penalty!
De Gea had already flown out of the air, but for a moment in the air, his mind went blank!
Ruined……
The ball was gently picked up and fell accurately into the center of the net!
The ball is in!
1 is better than 0!
The game regenerates suspense!
The total score between the two sides now becomes 3 to 2.
Although Manchester United still leads, this point is very subtle.
Because Roma scored an away goal at Old Trafford before. That is to say, if Roma scores another now, the score will become 3 to 3. If it ends with this, then Roma will score an away goal. Advantage to advance to the finals!
Now Manchester United is in trouble!
Seeing hope, the entire Roma team launched a fierce attack!
They know very well that as long as one ball is needed, and one more ball is needed, they can reach the finals!
Next, Rome launched a ferocious attack!
Nainggolan broke through the defense and slid out with a blast!
De Rossi made a long pass from the backcourt, looking for Totti outside the penalty area!
Totti stopped the ball and pulled it past Damian who was trying to grab it!Low kick, the ball goes straight to the blind corner!
De Gea quickly leaned over and poked the ball out with his fingertips!
Salah once again passed two people and made a pass!
Dzeko headed the ball from the center!
The ball flew off the baseline against the crossbar!
During this period, Manchester United was overwhelmed by Roma!
At this time, Mourinho frowned on the sidelines of the court.
Perrin asked anxiously: "Do we need to adjust our tactics?"
Mourinho shook his head: "There's no rush, we're waiting."
"Still waiting?" Peilan couldn't wait any longer.
"Salah's penalty kick just now was a special situation," Mourinho said very calmly. "Our defense actually did a good job and I have confidence in them. Don't worry, man, we have to be more patient than them. .”
Be more patient, it’s so hard…
Roma's offense continued until the injury time of the first half, when Totti's explosive shot was again punched out by De Gea.
The referee then blew the whistle to end the first half.
Manchester United fell behind 0-1.
Back in the locker room, Mourinho was still encouraging the players.
"Boys, you performed well in the first half of the game. As long as we hold steady, the opportunity will definitely come! Don't relax at all, and don't let go of the opportunity!"
After leaving the locker room and running onto the court, Mourinho stopped Xia Xing.
"Xia."
"coach?"
"If you have an opportunity later, don't miss it."
"it is good!"
If it were anyone else, Mourinho might give cautious instructions.
After all, Xia Xing is now at the core of the defense. If he presses forward rashly, he is likely to be counterattacked by his opponent.
Stealing chickens will not lose rice.
But facing Xia Xing, he was full of trust.
Xia's instant judgment on the court is even better than her own understanding!
In the second half, it was still Roma's all-out attack and Manchester United's full retreat.
Manchester United's defense gave in and just clung to the one-goal advantage.
The Roma fans in the stands kept applauding and cheering for their team.
The Manchester United fans were also worried and kept looking at their watches, waiting for the game to end.
After 70 minutes of the game, both sides made continuous substitution adjustments.
Manchester United still defended solidly, and Roma still attacked with all their strength.
Until the 85th minute of the game.
Roma's cooperation in the middle and continuous passing are very smooth.
There was a transfer between Roma's captain and vice-captain, and the ball was handed to Totti.
The moment Totti caught the ball, Xia Xing suddenly shot out horizontally!
Steal the ball early!
The old Roman captain was cut off!
At this time, the Roma midfielder pressed forward, and their center was empty!
Xia Xing didn't hesitate and suddenly accelerated with the ball!
Nainggolan quickly chased back and stretched out his hand to pull Xia Xing!
Even if you take the card, you must stop Xia Xing!
But he failed to hold Xia Xing's clothes, and Xia Xing flew with the wind!
20 meters away from the goal, central defender Fazio rushed forward!
He is the last central defender!
Xia Xing didn't choose to break through anymore, he directly kicked off and shot!
The ball was fast and flat, hitting the upper right corner of the goal!
Alisson jumped up with all his strength, but still failed to touch the ball...
The ball crashed into the net!
"1 to 1!
"Manchester United scored a stunning goal!
"Xia's shot is unstoppable!
"They're in the Europa League final!"
