Chapter 512
Just when all Manchester City fans felt desperate and almost believed that Manchester City was about to lose the trophy, a miracle happened.
When the game entered the overtime period, Manchester City did not give up the attack. They continued to press forward with all their strength, hoping to equalize the score in the last minute.
Li Lei, David Silva, De Bruyne and other core players kept passing and moving in the frontcourt, looking for opportunities to score.
Even in the case of severe physical exhaustion, Manchester City's players still maintained high morale.
Sevilla's defense seemed a bit struggling under this high pressure. Although they had a large number of people, facing Manchester City's layers of advancement and constantly changing offensive tactics, the defense began to loosen and become chaotic.
In the 93rd minute, Manchester City won a key corner kick opportunity.
De Bruyne took the corner kick, and his pass flew accurately to the high point in the penalty area.
In the melee, the ball fell at Li Lei's feet. He did not choose to shoot directly, but calmly passed the ball to the back point.
Sergio Aguero jumped high, overpowered the Sevilla defender, and headed the ball hard, and the ball flew straight into the net.
Manchester City equalized the score.
2-2!
Gao Yi excitedly explained in the live broadcast room: "The ball is in! The ball is in!"
"Aguero equalized the score at the last moment!"
"This is simply a miracle!"
"Manchester City used tenacious fighting spirit and unremitting efforts in the stoppage time to drag the game into a draw!"
The barrage in the live broadcast room exploded instantly:
"Aguero is amazing!"
"Li Lei's pass is too crucial!"
"Manchester City will never give up!"
"We still have hope!"
"This game is so exciting!"
In the stoppage time, the performance of Manchester City players was moving.
None of them gave up, and they still tried their best at the last moment.
De Bruyne's powerful cross, Li Lei's calm pass, Aguero's powerful header, every link reflects the team's tenacity and fighting spirit.
Facing Manchester City's crazy attack, Sevilla's defense line seemed very tense at the last moment.
Although they tried to stop Manchester City's attack with numbers and formations, Aguero finally found a chance to score in the chaos.
This goal completely changed the situation of the game and also demonstrated Manchester City's resilience and strength as a top team.
With this goal, the game entered overtime, and the two sides will continue to compete for the European Super Cup.
The Manchester City players who were resting at this time were panting violently, and Li Lei was no exception.
The more than 90 minutes of the game exhausted his physical strength, especially the attack a few minutes ago, which squeezed out the only physical strength left in his body.
His forehead was covered with sweat beads, his face was full of fatigue, but his eyes were full of determination and desire.
The goddess of luck did not abandon them. The joint efforts of Li Lei and Manchester City teammates dragged the game into overtime.
At this moment, the players sat on the ground next to the coach's seat, trying to calm their breathing and try to recover some physical strength in the short rest time.
Guardiola kept encouraging his players on the sidelines, knowing that this moment was crucial.
Overtime was an accident, and no one expected the game to go this far.
Guardiola quickly adjusted the tactical arrangement. He knew that the players' physical strength had reached the limit, so his tactics focused more on defensive counterattacks to reduce unnecessary physical energy consumption.
He walked to Li Lei, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered: "Li Lei, good job! All of you performed very well."
"In the next overtime, we must be more careful and patient."
"Defend, wait for the opponent to show a flaw, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack."
Li Lei nodded, his breathing gradually stabilized, and his heart became more determined.
The game resumed, and both sides seemed cautious.
Manchester City's players gritted their teeth and strictly implemented Guardiola's tactical arrangements when their physical strength was almost exhausted.
They arranged a strict defensive system in the midfield and backcourt, not giving Sevilla any easy opportunity to attack.
Guardiola kept directing on the sidelines. He asked the team to keep compact when defending, not to rush easily, and to ensure that they would not be counterattacked by the opponent.
On the offensive end, he arranged Li Lei, David Silva and De Bruyne to be responsible for organization, creating opportunities through short passes and running positions, and trying to avoid long passes and large-scale running.
Although Manchester City's players were exhausted, they did not give up.
On the court, they supported each other with tenacious fighting spirit and high morale.
Every fight and every pass, they went all out and did not give the opponent any easy chance to score.
Li Lei was particularly conspicuous. He not only actively instigated on the offensive end,, and kept returning to defense to help the back line resist the opponent's attack.
Watching Li Lei running in front of the camera, Gao Yi was also anxious.
He kept cheering for Li Lei in the live broadcast room, and kept saying: "Li Lei, come on! You can do it!"
Fans in the live broadcast room also spoke one after another, expressing their heartache and concern for Li Lei.
"Li Lei has run so much, can he still hold on physically?"
"He has been fighting, it's really not easy!"
"I hope Li Lei can hold on to the end, he is fighting too hard!"
Just when everyone was worried about whether Li Lei's physical strength could still complete the game, Li Lei gave everyone an unexpected surprise.
The short rest allowed him to recover some physical strength, not to mention that he still had various skills that had not been used.
In the 119th minute, Li Lei broke through in the penalty area and scored a goal, Manchester City led 3-2.
This goal came from Li Lei's personal breakthrough and secondary acceleration in speed, as well as accurate shooting, which helped Manchester City lock in the victory.
The game entered the final moments, and the players on both sides were exhausted.
At this moment, Li Lei received a precise long pass from De Bruyne.
He started quickly and used his speed to break through the Sevilla defense.
Facing the last defender, he cleverly made a feint, shook off his opponent, and quickly cut into the penalty area.
When facing goalkeeper Sergio Rico, Li Lei was calm and composed.
He aimed at the dead corner of the goal and shot hard. The ball went straight to the corner of the net. Rico had no time to react.
After scoring, Li Lei raised his hands high, ran to the sidelines excitedly, and hugged his teammates to celebrate.
Gao Yi almost jumped up in the live broadcast room, and he shouted excitedly: "Goal! Goal!"
"Li Lei scored!"
"Manchester City leads 3-2!"
"This is a lore!"
"Li Lei is awesome!"
His voice was full of joy and excitement, as if he was also in the stadium.
