Chapter 857 Dream Beginning

Gundogan simply touched the ball and then dribbled forward.

Paredes came up to interfere with Gundogan, but the latter passed the ball before he could get close to Paredes.

Bruno received the ball, the Manchester United captain beautifully paused the ball, then pulled the ball and turned around, sending the ball to the left side, where Rashford had already inserted it at high speed.

Florenzi did not rush forward blindly. He signaled Gueye to interfere with Rashford, while he himself stared at Luke Shaw who was making a high-speed run.

In the first leg, Florenzi knew that this Englishman, who was known as the best left-back in world football, was very fast.

Sure enough, when Rashford saw Gueye coming to press, he passed the ball, and his target was Luke Shaw who was running forward at high speed from his side.

"It's just as I expected!" Florenzi thought to himself, and then he pressed forward, ready to force Luke Shaw.

However, the experienced Italian veteran did not play too aggressively as he was still quite afraid of Luke Shaw's speed and skills.

Luke Shaw dribbled the ball straight at Florenzi.

"This is the time you've been waiting for!"

Just before the two men were about to touch, Florenzi suddenly kicked out.

However, Luke Shaw had no intention of passing the opponent. He suddenly stopped and dunked the ball!

Florenzi was prepared for this and moved sideways to block it, but he did not wait for Luke Shaw's next breakthrough. Luke Shaw knocked the ball back to Rashford who came over to receive it.

The latter did not let the ball stay under his feet, but directly made a long diagonal pass. The ball went directly from the side close to the left to the right side, to Mbappe.

………………

"What a great pass! Rashford!" Martin Taylor shouted.

Mbappe was very fast. He caught up with the football, and then facing Kurzawa who was rushing towards him, he dribbled the ball.

Kurzawa is experienced. He immediately changed his moves and kicked the ball away.

Then before Kurzawa could be happy, he saw Mbappe's second reaction was quick. He touched the ball with his right foot and hooked the ball back.

However, after this delay, Kurzawa moved again and blocked Mbappe's way forward.

"Beautiful! Mbappe is still very immature in front of the experienced Kurzawa."

Before the Paris Saint-Germain commentator finished speaking, Mbappe dribbled the ball from his right foot to his left foot, held up Kurzawa with his body, and swept the ball into the penalty area with his left foot.

In the penalty area, Paris Saint-Germain center back Kimpembe held off Harry Kane, preventing the opponent from getting a chance to shoot.

At this moment, a figure in a red jersey appeared on the path of the football and swept the football back diagonally - the target was the top of the penalty area.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Gueye slid down and tried to clear the ball. But before his feet touched the ball, a figure rushed up and shot the ball with a powerful kick. The ball suddenly flew up and rushed straight to the goal.

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Navas rushed to the goal and intended to kick the ball out.

He successfully hit the ball, and it bounced to one side and somehow landed in front of Harry Kane and Kimpembe.

Both of them were stunned, and then they were about to make a move almost at the same time, but the stronger Harry Kane reacted faster. He stuck out his butt and blocked Kimpembe's outstretched leg with his hips. Then he swept his right foot hard, and the football bounced suddenly, flew into the net, and rolled up the snow-white net high!

………………

There was chaos in the penalty area and it was hard to see clearly. There was a moment of silence in the Millennium Stadium. Then the two thousand home team fans who came to watch the game saw the net shaking and the football in the net.

Boom!

The whole stadium was like a volcano erupting!

In the second round of the 2020-2021 Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United played against Paris Saint-Germain at home. One minute and thirty-three seconds into the game, the home team Manchester United launched its first attack, and Manchester United striker Harry Kane scored a goal in front of the goal.

Manchester United 1:0 Paris Saint-Germain!

They made a dream start that no one expected. Now, the total score of the two rounds is 2:4, and Manchester United is two goals behind.

Because the epidemic situation has not improved significantly, the Millennium Stadium currently only allows about two thousand Manchester United fans to enter and watch the game.

This obviously cannot satisfy the needs of too many fans, so the vast majority of Manchester United fans can only watch the game at home or in bars.

"Volley! Beautiful! Harry Kane! The ball goes in! He scored the first goal for Manchester United! 1:0, Manchester United got off to a dream start at home!"

The excited voice of commentator Martin Taylor came from the hanging TV, which aroused huge cheers from the whole bar.

"Well done, Kane!"

"Well done!"

“Cheers to the goal!”

……

The fans were so excited that golden beer spilled out with the clinking of glasses and everyone was screaming.

………………

Inside the stadium, Manchester United players were celebrating the goal excitedly. They surrounded Harry Kane who scored the goal, fell to the ground, and were extremely happy.

On the sidelines, their head coach rushed out of the coaching booth and waved his arms vigorously to express his excitement.

The referee intervened and finally put an end to the extremely excited celebration of Manchester United players.

The Paris Saint-Germain players have already placed the ball at the midpoint and are getting a little impatient.

Although the goal was conceded early and even very unexpectedly, the players of Paris Saint-Germain did not care too much about it. They just felt a little surprised that Manchester United would celebrate a goal against Paris Saint-Germain like it was Christmas.

The TV broadcast camera closely followed Harry Kane who scored the goal, and the commentator was praising the scorer: "Harry Kane! He scored at the Parc des Princes when he faced Paris Saint-Germain away from home, and now he has scored another goal against Paris Saint-Germain at home! Scoring against Paris Saint-Germain in both home and away games, even in the European arena, few people can do it!"

………………

The game restarted and Paris Saint-Germain kicked off.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The game was over as they conceded the ball less than two minutes into the game, which was beyond Pochettino's expectations. It seemed that the opponent was unwilling to surrender at home and was going to struggle.

However, Pochettino did not care too much. After all, this is a normal situation. No team will give up hope at the beginning of the game, not to mention that the opponent is the top giant Manchester United.

But no matter what, the final victory will belong to Paris Saint-Germain, because his team is very strong, and more importantly, his team also attaches great importance to the game and is not at all complacent because of the big win in the first round.

Sure enough, Paris Saint-Germain quickly stabilized its position and began to counterattack, intending to suppress Manchester United's attack with offense.

However, facing Paris Saint-Germain's wave after wave of attacks, although Manchester United also strengthened its defense, this was not the kind of retreating defense that meant giving up the attack.

On the contrary, Manchester United's formation pressed forward, and they started fighting with Paris Saint-Germain in the midfield. Not only that, they always kept Bruno and Harry Kane as two counterattack points in the frontcourt. Once there was a chance to move the ball forward, they would press forward to attack without hesitation.

Manchester United's tactics were not conservative, but rather aggressive. At least compared to the first leg away at the Parc des Princes, today's Manchester United showed a strong desire to attack.

Paris Saint-Germain was even more aggressive in attack, so in the eyes of the audience, the first half of the game was very exciting.

………………

In the 15th minute of the game, Paredes made a straight pass, Draxler made a lateral pass after going down the wing, Icardi held off Van Dijk and pushed the ball along.

Martial was about to complete the shot when a red figure got in front of him and shot the ball directly. The ball flew high into the stands.

"Ohhhh - Verratti, his shot went wide."

"Veratti should have given this shooting opportunity to Martial as he was in a better position." The commentator of Paris Saint-Germain shook his head regretfully.

But it was just a pity and no one cared too much about missing the chance to score. With Paris Saint-Germain's offensive strength, scoring a goal was not a problem.

Mourinho waved nervously on the sidelines, then he silently gave a thumbs up to Verratti, the Italian helping Manchester United complete a beautiful defensive clearance.

Five minutes later, Paris Saint-Germain's attack returned.

Gueye sent the ball to the frontcourt, and Florenzi assisted in the middle, where he passed the ball to Martial.

Martial controlled his rhythm and deliberately slowed down to attract Kante to come up and defend, and then when Kante approached, he suddenly dribbled the ball and accelerated to get rid of it!

………………

Kante obviously didn't expect Martial to move so quickly and accelerate so quickly. He was caught off guard and turned hastily, but his foot slipped and he fell to the ground!

"Martial! Nice breakaway!" the Paris Saint-Germain commentator shouted. "Another one!"

Martial changed direction while dribbling the ball at high speed, passed Luke Shaw, and then cut inside laterally.

"Shoot!"

The French golden boy made a curved shot with his left foot and headed straight for the upper right corner of the goal.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea did not react to the ball at all. Just when the Paris Saint-Germain players were preparing to cheer for the goal, they heard a crisp "bang" sound and the football hit the crossbar hard...

"What a pity! Martial's shot hit the crossbar." Andy Gray said regretfully, "This is Martial, Paris Saint-Germain's greatest treasure. Manchester United can't stop him at all. It's a pity that they are unlucky."

Paris Saint-Germain were still regretting that the shot hit the crossbar. Icardi gave Martial a thumbs up, and Draxler ran to Martial and said with a smile: "It was just one centimeter short, just one centimeter lower."

No one even noticed that Manchester United had started to fight back.
