Chapter 2187: On a rainy night in Etihad, people’s desperate defense shocked the world!
Pepe has actually reached his physical limit.
Ancelotti originally wanted to replace Pepe and let him rest.
There is no way now!
Without hesitation, Smalling replaced the injured Maguire...
Such a positional substitution can at least allow Manchester United to keep their defense solid.
Can Manchester United, which has not completed sufficient warm-up, withstand this Manchester City team?
On the big screen, the score has become Manchester City 4 to Manchester United 2.
There is a bracket after the score, which says (4-4)!
If Manchester United can finish with this score, then Manchester United will advance to the semi-finals smoothly.
But there are still more than ten minutes left in the game.
Manchester United is in danger!
After the game resumed, Manchester United tried to pass the ball to Ronaldo, but Ronaldo frequently retreated to defend today and his physical strength was at its limit.
Don't forget, Manchester United is one man short.
In order to maintain the stability of the defense, the players in the front court must share certain defensive tasks.
The frequent retreats are extremely exhausting for the players.
81 minutes 20 seconds.
Manchester City is causing trouble on the wing again.
But this time it was not Walker on the right, but Delph on the left.
Delph was on the wing, but instead of passing the ball, he passed it back to Jesus who came over to receive it.
Jesus dribbled the ball forward, but he didn't think about anyone at all. Instead, he passed the ball horizontally to Gundogan at the top of the arc.
Gundogan pretended to shoot, but it turned out to be a real pass.
Manchester United's defense can only fill in the position passively.
And the one who actually followed up was Fernandinho.
As a Brazilian player, long shots are an essential skill.
In such a crucial game like this one, he is eager to score!
"Oh!"
Without the slightest hesitation.
Fernandinho came in from behind and shot with his right foot.
Tiger shot!
De Gea in front of the goal instantly jumped into the air and tried to save the ball.
But the football passed by his fingertips!
"hiss……"
Countless Manchester United fans gasped.
The expressions of Manchester City fans instantly changed to surprise.
Fernandinho, who had been forced to defend, finally shot...
One shot decides everything!
"Duang!!!"
Beam, tremble!
However, at the same time, the hearts of countless Manchester City fans were also trembling.
radish!!!
"You're not even going in?"
“Is this goalpost from Manchester City or Manchester United?”
"Okay, okay, luck is on Manchester United's side?"
The hope that had been ignited was extinguished in an instant.
But I looked at the time.
"Cheer up, everyone, we still have time!" Messi rarely spoke to encourage his teammates!
He has always been questioned for his lack of leadership qualities.
The most direct one is Argentina’s recognized football king, Maradona.
Just like when Messi retired from the Argentina national team, Maradona blasted the little flea in front of the media more than once.
But this time he wanted to win so badly!
The total score is 4 to 4!
As long as they score one more goal, they can turn defeat into victory!
If Manchester City can really reverse this Manchester United team, then this quarter-final match will become a comeback battle worth mentioning repeatedly in the history of the Champions League!
Everyone wants to be remembered by history.
After all, everyone knows that true death is not passing away, but being forgotten.
As long as you can leave a mark in the football world, you will be mentioned ten, twenty, or even a hundred years later.
Just like the Yashin Award that was established later, it is an award to reward the best goalkeeper of the current season.
So who is Yashin?
The only goalkeeper in history to win the Golden Ball Award, Lev Yashin!
Of course, a name like Ye Chen has long been famous throughout the ages.
After all, some people have started calling him the God of Football.
Even the two football kings have praised Ye Chen in front of the media.
Pele's original words were: If Ronaldo is an alien, then Ye is a monster more terrifying than an alien.
Maradona said: Argentina did not lose to Germany, but to the omnipotent Ye, who was more dominant than I was... But the good news is that he did not go to Serie A to play football, but I conquered the Apennines!
When Ye Chen saw the comments from the two football kings, he just smiled.
Their legendary story has come to an end, but my story has just begun.
With a system in place, it wouldn't be too much for me to play for 20 seasons, right?
Well, that means I have to play until 2032...
Perhaps many people have forgotten that Ye Chen’s first debut season was the 2011-2012 season.
His sudden emergence that season made Dortmund the first team in Bundesliga history to win the treble!
Unfortunately, the team later owed too much debt and fell into a debt crisis, which allowed Chelsea to wave a check and take away the man who was destined to become a legend.
Although Dortmund has now become a factory for processing stars, its finances are quite healthy.
Now whenever fans talk about who saved Dortmund, it is not Dortmund chairman Watzke, but Ye Chen who left to save Dortmund.
The game is still not over.
All Manchester United players were breathing heavily.
What supports them at this time is their strong willpower.
In fact, many people are wondering, since Ye Chen is so strong, can’t he just pass all the Manchester City players by himself and secure the victory?
If football were really that simple, the Chinese national team wouldn't have been beaten 7-0 by Japan!
Think about why football is the world's number one sport?
The eleven players must work together sincerely; if any one of them gives up, it will be difficult to win.
And the feet are much more difficult to control than the hands.
Coupled with the influence of tactical arrangements, player conditions and various factors, football becomes unpredictable.
People are naturally interested in the unpredictable...
It suddenly started to rain heavily.
The rain poured down, quickly soaking the players on the field.
However, Ancelotti on the sidelines did not return to the command seat. He shouted to the field, "Ye, go back and help defend!"
"Chris, go back and help defend..."
Yes.
He made the decision.
At this moment, all 10 Manchester United players returned to defense.
Ye Chen and Ronaldo did not hesitate and returned to the front of the penalty area immediately.
As a player, even a top player, you must obey the coach's arrangements!
This is the most basic professional quality.
Manchester City pushed Kompany directly into the penalty area.
Both sides have no more substitutions available, so there is no possibility of transfers.
You can only adjust your tactics in real time according to the situation on the field.
Manchester City took advantage of the rain and started playing long passes.
But everyone will repeatedly see Ye Chen and C Ronaldo disrupting crosses in the penalty area...
"The rain is getting heavier, but Manchester City's attack still can't threaten Manchester United's goal!"
"Manchester United is united at this moment!"
Manchester United did not just stay in the penalty area.
They took the initiative to block and intercept, using their bodies as shields to protect the safety of the goal.
However, time keeps rising alternately...
At the end of the 90 minutes of regular time, Manchester City still failed to score.
In the 93rd minute, Messi made a strong breakthrough.
But after passing one and two, when he was still trying to break through, Ye Chen stretched out his foot and made a strong breakthrough.
In the 95th minute, Manchester City began to try long shots.
As the ball flew out of bounds, De Gea began to delay time.
It can be seen that Laos was also anxious.
De Gea was given a yellow card directly, indicating that he was delaying time.
Time continues to pass.
In the 96th minute, Gundogan volleyed the ball, which was slightly off the goal.
Even with five minutes of extra time, the game is not over yet.
This time De Gea did not delay, but passed the ball to Ye Chen who was retreating.
Ye Chen dribbled the ball to the side.
Two people started to double-team and tried to steal the ball.
But Ye Chen’s ball protection is like Li Yi!
Despite being disturbed by Fernandinho and Gundogan from behind, he still didn't lose the ball.
An anxious Gundogan kicked Ye Chen's calf, and Ye Chen fell to the ground...
The referee looked at the time and it was already 97 minutes.
He blew the whistle helplessly.
"Beep beep~ beep!"
At this moment, Laos had only one thought: Manchester City, oh Manchester City, I have helped you so much, but you are really useless!
"what……"
As the announcement of the end of the game rang out, Ye Chen raised his arms and shouted, looking up to the sky!
This game was undoubtedly the most difficult one this year, but they made it through!
Veteran Pepe's legs went weak and he sat on the lawn...
Even though the rain flowed down his bald head and into his mouth, he had no time to pay attention and just gasped for breath.
This is so tiring!
