Chapter 720: No chance at all! Don’t even think about it!
1 is better than 0!
Manchester United opens the scoring!
4 is better than 2!
Manchester United expands total score lead!
At this moment, the Red Devils soldiers were extremely excited!
This is awesome!
At home, the total score is two goals ahead!
The Champions League semi-finals are right around the corner!
It's amazing!
Rashford was excited when he scored, and Lingard and Pogba hugged and celebrated.
But at this time, there was trouble in Manchester United's penalty area.
Xia Xing fell to the ground!
In the fight for a header just now, Xia Xing defeated Suarez and headed the ball to clear the ball, creating the starting point of this fast break.
But because of this header, he collided with Suarez, and his ankle was sprained when he fell to the ground.
It hurts terribly at this moment.
The team doctor had already arrived for inspection, and Xia Xing grinned even if he moved a little bit.
The team doctor frowned and quickly took Xia Xing off the field.
Looking at Solskjaer's questioning eyes, the team doctor gently shook his head.
"Fxxk!"
Solskjaer, who has always been gentle and gentle, also cursed.
What the hell!
Why does this hurt!
Xia Xing twisted his ankle slightly, with a painful expression on his face.
The team doctor quickly stopped him: "Xia, don't move in a hurry, you may cause greater harm."
"But, alas..."
Xia Xing sighed and lay still on the turf.
He roughly estimated that it shouldn't be a big problem, it was probably just a sprain.
But even so, we can't continue to force the game now.
This game is in trouble.
Solskjaer on the side has already begun to adjust personnel.
With Xia Xing off the field, the team will be in big trouble.
In terms of offense, Pogba can help, but the defensive support is much worse.
After thinking twice, Solskjaer replaced McTominay.
The young player has excellent physical fitness and is very active in running. Although he lacks experience, Matic and Fred can help him make up for some shortcomings.
As a result, Manchester United's formation also changed to 4-3-2-1.
At the front is Martial, with Pogba and Rashford behind him, a temporary trident.
But after such an adjustment, something went wrong quickly.
Less than five minutes after Xia Xing came off the field, Barcelona equalized the score.
Without Xia Xing to match him, Messi can finally display his personal skills freely.
In the last round of the game, Messi and Xia Xing were opposing players.
Although both players are forward, Xia Xing retreats deeply when defending, often defending Messi alone.
And Xia Xing's single defense ability is definitely the world's top level, which gives Messi a headache.
Now that Xia Xing is gone, Messi is suddenly much more active!
In the 33rd minute of the game, Messi dribbled the ball forward on the right wing and showed off his personal skills!
Rashford returned to defense and was directly squeezed away by Messi!
Fred was rushed over by Messi with speed!
Ashley Young and Lindelof's defensive assistance was directly passed by Messi with a single ball and wiped away!
Shake away four defensive players in a row and rush into the penalty area!
Decisive kick and low shot!
The ball hits the net!
1 is better than 1!
Barcelona equalizes the score!
This time Messi passed four defenders alone and singled out Manchester United's entire defense! This is super giant level performance!
The visiting team's stands cheered excitedly, while the home team's stands were silent.
Five minutes later, Manchester United's goal suffered another heavy blow.
It was Barcelona's frontcourt cooperation again, and the continuous passing of multiple people made Manchester United's midfielder and backfield unable to touch the ball.
Busquets controlled the field in the middle and knocked it across to Arthur on the left.
Arthur made a short pass forward, Coutinho followed up with his heel, and then quickly moved forward!
This is obviously a need for a two-on-one opportunity!
And Suarez also squeezed Smalling hard, trying to find opportunities to play the ball or grab points!
Manchester United's goal is in danger!
Many defensive players retreated, and Manchester United's defense targeted Coutinho and Suarez!
But at this moment, Busquets made a quick move!
The ball flew to the right side of the penalty area!
Find Messi!
When "Habaib" dominated international football, Busquets was always the one who was underestimated.
But his overall strength is absolutely top-notch, especially his interpretation of the game, which is top-notch in the world.
If Fan is weaker, can he keep up with the pace of Xavi and Iniesta?
This time, he looked at Coutinho on the left and passed the ball straight to Messi on the right!
The defense of this pass even imitates Ronaldinho's classic pass from east to west!
And with tacit cooperation, Messi quickly moved forward and successfully countered offside!
At the rear point, volley and shoot!
The ball hit the near corner of the goal!
2 is better than 1!
Barcelona scores another goal!
Classic passing and receiving cooperation!
The visiting team fans in the stands were excited again and cheered continuously!
They have equalized the total score and are now only one step away from promotion!
It’s just an away goal disadvantage, no problem!
The excitement of Barcelona fans is in sharp contrast to the depression of Manchester United fans.
At this moment, Manchester United fans miss Xia Xing when he was on the court.
Just like Messi’s wonderful performance, our captain can do the same!
Even better!
But now their captain is no longer on the pitch.
Valencia, who is wearing the captain's armband at the moment, is working very hard and was very successful in defending Coutinho just now.
But defense alone cannot win games now.
And Pogba, who took over the responsibility of offensive organization, looked completely embarrassed during this period.
After being overtaken by his opponent, Pogba has been working hard to find offensive opportunities, and even Martial's running has been much more active.
Manchester United missed another good opportunity when Pogba blasted a shot over the goal.
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer frowned.
"Manchester United are in trouble now. Their attacking trio just can't seem to find the scoring touch."
Carragher next to him sneered.
"This is all because of missing xia!
"It's definitely not like this if there's a small playmaker on the field.
"Taking a step back, even if xia is just defending in the backcourt at the moment,
"Pogba's offense will be much more comfortable than it is now.
"why?
"Because xia is like a nuclear weapon in the eyes of all opponents!
"Even if he is in the defensive midfield position, as long as he wants to rush forward and attack,
"Teammates must be scared!
"Xia's deterrent effect on opponents has long been unmatched by others!
"Even though Pogba performed well before,
"But it was also achieved under the condition that xia attracted a certain number of defensive main players.
"And now, Manchester United is gone.
"The opponent's defensive attention is completely focused on Pogba and Rashford.
"Martial can be ignored;
"How can Pogba and his teammates withstand such a tough defense?
“Even if Pogba performed well at Juventus before, he still had a bunch of big guys to support him;
"Pogba played a big role in Manchester United last season because Rooney, Carrick, Xia and other big players were present in the team.
"Now you want Pogba to lead Manchester United out of this predicament?
"No chance at all!
“Don’t even think about it!
"Today I am absolutely convinced that Manchester United will be eliminated by Barcelona.
"Their journey to the Champions League this season ends here!" (End of Chapter)
