Chapter 812: The Europa League battle is exciting

Seeing Cavani's penalty kick break the net, Alan Shearer couldn't stop praising him.

"Today's Manchester United is completely a dimensionality reduction attack.

“Roma is not on the same level as them at all.
"After just one season, Roma's condition has declined so seriously.

"It's so sad."

Carragher curled his lips: "Manchester United was lucky today and caught up with Cavani's superb performance. Look at Roma's striker, Dzeko is 35 years old."

"Dude, don't forget, Cavani is also 34 years old, how much different can he be?" Alan Shearer said with a smile, "In the final analysis, Manchester United played with more resilience and fighting spirit in this game."

This time Carragher made no rebuttal.

Because there is no way to refute it.

Manchester United did really well in this game.

Carragher admired his high morale from the bottom of his heart.

However, as a famous Red Army player, he must not praise his old rival.

After thinking about it, he figured out a way to refute.

"Even if Manchester United wins a big victory, so what?

"Even if we defend the Europa League, so what?
“Don’t forget, they are a Champions League-level team.

"Now I can only play in the Europa League.
"Torturing the down-and-out wealthy family,
"Do you think it's interesting?

"If you have the ability, you can return to the Champions League next season to be a hero."

Although this sounds unpleasant, there is nothing wrong with it.

Manchester United went through many obstacles in the Europa League, but they really failed to show their strongest strength.

So even though it is now 6-1, many Manchester United fans are happy but also a little disappointed.

How great it would be if we were on the Champions League stage now...

But no matter what, it's not bad to beat the opponent in the Europa League semi-finals.

Finally, in stoppage time, Roma relied on a corner kick opportunity and veteran Dzeko scored with a header, helping the team save a little face.

But even so, the score of 6 to 2 also embarrassed them.

The referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the Roman soldiers left the field extremely disappointed.

With the strength of such a big score, Fonseca was already a little shaken.

It is almost impossible to get a ticket to the finals. There is still one month before the end of the league. It is time to consider changing direction and try to leave a way out for next season.

At least try to get into the top six, so as not to be unable to even play in the European competition next season.

In the end, Manchester United returned victorious at home, and they had already reached the door of the Europa League final.

On May 2021, 5, Manchester United visited the Olympic Stadium in Rome to usher in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

In this game, Manchester United has no pressure.

Not only because they have a four-goal difference, but also because their opponents have surrendered early.

In this game, Roma even put together a substitute lineup to deal with Manchester United as a guest.

It was clear that they had given up hope in this game.

Solskjaer also adjusted Manchester United's lineup very appropriately and replaced most of the substitute players.

In addition to several main players such as Matic and Xia Xing, young people are deployed in various positions.

It is very rare to use the stage of the Europa League semi-finals to train young people.

Despite the substitutes, Manchester United still controlled the game in the first half.

In the 29th minute of the game, Smalling was injured and fell to the ground during a scramble and was unable to continue checking.

Dalber replaces him.

This substitution caused Roma to suffer.

Compared with Smalling, Dalber's defensive strength is obviously worse.

In less than ten minutes after the substitution, Manchester United created three opportunities in his position.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Mirante's high pass and low block, Roma would have fallen behind by a big margin.

But despite this, the continuous onslaught was too much for them.

In the 38th minute of the game, Cavani received a pass from Xia Xing in the middle, made a slight adjustment in the penalty area, turned around and volleyed!

The ball hit the net!

1 to 0! Manchester United opens the scoring!

This shot shows Cavani's world-class forward ability!

Stay strong with old age!

As a result, the total score became 7 to 2, and there was no suspense in the game.

During the halftime break, Solskjaer decisively replaced Xia Xing and Matic to let the two have a good rest.

There is no problem at all from now on, just leave it to the young people.

However, after the two men came off the field, Manchester United encountered an onslaught from their opponents.

Although Roma has no hope in this game, it does not mean that they have completely given up on the game.

Rome, full of passion, will never surrender!

In the 56th minute, Roma used a frontcourt collaboration, Pedro dribbled the ball and passed it diagonally into the penalty area.

Dzeko leaned on Bailly and shot low!
The ball hits the net!

1-1, Roma got a goal back.

Three minutes later, there was another corner kick opportunity for Roma.

Pellegrini's cross found Cristante accurately.

Cristante's header hit the goal and the ball hit the net.

2 to 1, Roma took the lead.

In the 79th minute of the game, during a Roma counterattack, Telles, who was returning to defense in the penalty area, accidentally scored an own goal and poked the ball into the net.

3 to 1, Roma continued to score.

Rome was so powerful at this time!
They even rekindled the hope of overturning Manchester United!

The total score is only 7 to 5!

And we have two away goals!

As long as we score two more goals, we can achieve a great comeback!
At the last moment, Roma fought hard.

Dzeko's shot hit the post, causing the Manchester United fans in the stands to scream.

Solskjaer on the sidelines also frowned.

He didn't expect that the team would encounter such big trouble.

Without Xia Xing's organization, Manchester United would be like a different team.

If they are finally reversed by their opponents, they probably won't last this season...

At this moment, a hero from Manchester United stood up.

After several counterattack opportunities, Cavani got the ball in the frontcourt. This time he also returned the ball outside the penalty area and turned around quickly.

The opposing defensive players flanked him and did not give him any space to shoot.

But they didn't expect that Cavani suddenly accelerated and chose to push forward!
As a player who is not known for his speed, everyone knows Cavani's characteristics.

The ability to attack the goal with one kick, the ability to score with a header, and the ability to protect and control the ball.

But when Cavani chose to drive forward with the ball, the Roma defense did not expect it!

Two defensive players were passed!

Wonderful dribbling!
Cavani goes it alone!
At this time, he had no teammates around him to respond. At the last moment, his teammates were all defending in the backcourt.

After all, as long as the two-goal advantage is maintained, it will be fine.

Now, Cavani can only rely on himself!
Facing goalkeeper Mirante, Cavani's focus shifted downwards.

Cavani is very familiar with this 38-year-old goalkeeper who came out of the Juventus youth training camp.

The two met many times in Serie A.

At that time, he was the ceiling of Serie A forwards!
Even now, he has a great chance of winning!
The body sinks and the center of gravity shifts downward.

Faced with Mirante's attack, Cavani quickly pushed and shot!
The ball went straight to the far corner of the goal!

Mirante falls to the ground quickly!

But still couldn't touch the ball!
The ball hits the net!

Manchester United gets a goal back!
3 is better than 2!

They will extend their lead again!
There is no suspense at all! (End of chapter)
