When Payet passed the football to the Manchester Athletic half, the hearts of the Manchester Athletic fans, both at the scene and watching the live broadcast on TV, were chilled.
Because they know what this scene means.
If the Kings get a goal back, Manchester United will not just fall behind again.
It is a great boost to the Kings’ morale and helps stabilize the mentality of the Kings players.
It will not be that easy for Atletico Manchester to score the goal of King Madrid again.
Understanding this, you can understand why everyone was so happy after Chen Xingyi shoveled the ball.
They cheered as if Manchester United had scored another goal...
That's right, Chen Xingyi's tackle was equivalent to another goal scored by Manchester United!
If the game wasn't still going on, those Manchester Athletic players who were returning to defense would have come up to hug him, celebrating Chen Xingyi's successful defense as if they were celebrating a goal.
Chen Xingyi's defense poured cold water on the Kings, and also greatly boosted the morale of Manchester Athletic players.
In the next game, Manchester United continued to attack with more intensity.
In the past, the King of Madrid could take advantage of Manchester United's aggressive attack to counterattack, but now it is even more difficult for halftime.
The two starting forwards, Melly and Mendy Payet, had to frequently drop back to participate in defense. Even this could not change the tense situation in front of the Madrid King's goal.
Manchester Athletic's offensive is like a tide, one wave after another, one wave higher than the other.
Even Chen Xingyi, who should be following Meili, made his presence felt during the attack.
"Chen Xingyi... a beautiful cross! Oh! Edman! Edman! How could you not catch this ball?!"
When Edman held his head in his hands with an incredulous expression on his face, in the studio thousands of miles away, He Feng also held his head in his hands and expressed this emotion with the same expression.
Just a few seconds ago, Chen Xingyi suddenly accelerated on the left wing and threw away the Madrid Kings right back Sergio De Pedro who came up to defend him. Then surprisingly, he did not choose to continue the breakthrough and instead started decisively.
Foot cross.
The entire Kings Madrid defense was caught off guard.
As a result, Janus Edman, who was leaping high in the middle, lifted the football with almost no one marking him...
Edelman himself knew he wasted a golden opportunity.
So after holding his head to express regret and surprise, he quickly turned around and gave a thumbs up to Chen Xingyi, praising Chen Xingyi for his good pass. Then he clasped his hands together and asked Chen Xingyi to forgive him for wasting this opportunity.
He knew that Chen Xingyi had a heavy defensive task in this game and could not really participate in the offense many times. If he seized this rare and excellent opportunity, Chen Xingyi could at least get an assist - he
The penalty kick created in the opening game, unfortunately, cannot be counted as assist data according to the rules of the Champions League.
Chen Xingyi seemed very generous and gave Edelman a thumbs up.
He was indeed regretful, and after seeing Edman miss his chance, he also put his head in his hands.
But after seeing Edman holding his head, he immediately put down his hand.
At this time, he cannot let people think that he is complaining about his teammates.
※※※
Edman wasted this opportunity, and I don't know how many Chinese fans scolded him on the Internet.
On the one hand, it was natural that Manchester United could not take the lead in the total score. On the other hand, it was also complained that Edman wasted Chen Xingyi's assist.
As the game progresses, most people have actually seen that Chen Xingyi's main task in this game is to defend Melli.
Let’s not talk about whether this arrangement is reasonable or not. Anyway, Chen Xingyi has little chance to perform in the offense.
Now Chen Xingyi finally sent a wonderful cross, but it was easily wasted by Edman. Which Chinese fan can swallow this sigh of relief?
For a time, on the Chinese Internet, Janus Edman, who ranks first in the Premier League's scorer list this season, has been scolded by many Chinese fans as the most crotchless "parallel import" in the history of Manchester United...
But just when they were scolding each other happily, there was a sudden uproar on the court.
Manchester United's attacking midfielder Jota Serreo suddenly shot a cold arrow from more than 30 meters outside the penalty area.
This was not supposed to be a very threatening shot, but Kings goalkeeper Cuto Borgos’ vision may have been interfered with and affected by the players on both sides of the penalty area. He did not choose to hold the ball when he made the save, but instead
He blocked it directly.
The football was not saved from the bottom line, but fell into the penalty area, causing chaos.
In the chaos, Edman rushed to shoot, and the football bounced off Kings center back Nuno Sequeiros who was blocking the shot, continuing to cause chaos.
Then the football was cleared by someone unknown and flew outside the penalty area.
Manchester United centre-back Diediu, who was pressing forward, controlled the ball and passed the ball to his left-back teammate Leandro Zapata on the wing.
After the latter got the ball, he made a hitting-the-wall coordination with Chen Xingyi who came up to meet him.
He passed the football to Chen Xingyi and then quickly moved forward. Chen Xingyi then passed the football to him in the open space.
Zapata caught up with the ball near the baseline and passed directly.
The football flies towards the goal.
Edman and Kings of Madrid center back Tavares Cao jumped up at the same time to compete for the top.
In the end, it was Edman who headed the ball.
However, due to Kao's personal interference, Edman was unable to push the football towards the goal.
He can only rub the ball back along the direction of the flight of the football!
The football was thrown back by Edman, where Manchester Athletic right winger Ramon Cantero suddenly appeared!
After suddenly cutting into the penalty area, he quickly rushed to the back.
This time he was almost undefended!
Facing the flying football, Cantero bent down, lowered his head, and rushed towards the goal while rushing towards the goal!
The football went straight into the net!
"Cantero -! Cantero!! Yes! He did it! Atletico Manchester United did it! They were two goals behind in the first leg and it took them 41 minutes to return home and finish against Madrid
The king’s transcendence! It’s amazing!”
"Atletico Manchester hopes to follow the example of Madrid Pirates in the 2029-2030 season and create a miracle reversal in the Champions League semi-finals!"
"The performance of Manchester Athletic back at home was completely different from the previous round. The Madrid Kings seemed unprepared for this and they were completely stunned!"
The shuttle field was filled with cheers, and everyone in the commentary box was excited.
Manchester Athletic's home ground was completely ignited!
Ever since the opening penalty, the moment Manchester United fans have been waiting for... has finally arrived!
Two goals behind in the first round allowed them to catch up!
The cheers above the shuttle field were so loud that all the commentators working on the field had to shout at the top of their lungs, otherwise they were worried that their voices would be completely drowned in the shouts of the fans.
Even the commentators who were not present could not help but raise their voices as if they were immersed in the scene.
He Feng shouted happily and excitedly:
"If you want to trace the origin of this goal from Manchester United, it was initiated at the moment when Chen Xingyi chased back and tackled the ball from Melli's foot! His defense was the basis of this goal! Without him to lay a solid foundation, Manchester United would have lost the ball.
How is it possible to score in the next game?"
Yan Kang also said excitedly: "That's right! It was Chen Xingyi's key defense that allowed Manchester United to stabilize their position. After scoring two goals, their offensive has gradually slowed down, and the scene was slowly overtaken by the King of Madrid.
Gained the upper hand... At that critical moment, Chen Xingyi's beautiful defense greatly boosted morale!"
As they were talking, they saw Chen Xingyi running to celebrate with his teammates. He was pulled into the crowd by his teammates, and then enjoyed the treatment of having his hair rubbed and patted on the back and shoulders one by one.
Just like the person who scored the goal was not Ramon Cantero, but Chen Xingyi.
※※※
I saw the Manchester Athletic players celebrating heartily, especially Chen Xingyi, who was surrounded by his teammates and was "beating" with his neck curled up.
Mellie bit her lip.
He Feng believes that Manchester United's goal started from Chen Xingyi's defense.
He Melli also believed that the goal conceded was due to his single attack being destroyed.
Rounding things off, the person most responsible for conceding the ball this time is himself.
He not only wasted an opportunity, but also boosted the morale of the Manchester Athletic team, so they suppressed the Kings again in the next game.
All this is because he "underestimated the enemy" in a single attack - yes, he underestimated the enemy.
Otherwise he wouldn't handle the ball that well.
It was precisely because he didn't take the Manchester Athletic players chasing behind him into consideration that he made the move to move the football straight to the center. If he was really afraid of the speed of the pursuers behind him, how could he not know how to handle the ball correctly?
What is the method?
After all, doing so would mean that he took a small detour, while Chen Xingyi ran in a straight line.
Between two points, a straight line is the shortest...
Then he paid the price for his underestimation.
Not only did the ball not score, but also because Chen Xingyi’s shovel was like a collective injection of blood for the Manchester Athletic players...
The responsibility really lies with him!
How could Melly allow himself to make such a mistake?
Now that the mistake has been made, let yourself atone for it.
