Taking the lead at the beginning greatly boosted the morale of Manchester United, boosted their confidence, reduced the pressure and made them more relaxed.
So after the game restarted, they launched a fierce offensive against the Madrid Pirates' goal, intending to score another goal in a short time.
A one-goal lead is not safe, but if it were to lead by two goals early, the situation would be different.
At home and with a two-goal lead, Manchester Athletic's chances of winning this game will be greatly increased.
"Chen Xingyi is asking for the ball!"
"pretty!"
The moment Chen Xingyi caught the ball, he pushed the football forward and used his speed to forcefully throw away Jose Yin Lazusta.
After he caught up with the football, he made a decisive move and passed the ball. The football drew a very beautiful and smooth arc in the air and accurately flew into the sky above the Madrid Pirates' small penalty area.
Janus Edman jumped high in the goal bridge and tried to head the ball towards the goal.
But he didn't hit the ball.
The football was punched out by goalkeeper Hywell and flew back outside the penalty area.
It was Vukovic who received the ball outside the penalty area.
He jumped up and swung the football to the right with his head.
There was Nestor Farias.
At the same time, Manchester United's right-back William Kolarenz rushed towards Farias.
Hu Lai, who was in the middle, quickly pulled away laterally and made a gesture to ask Farias to pass the ball directly back to him.
But Farias did not do so.
In the process of running forward, he used the outside instep of his right foot to hit the ball hard!
No need to adjust your pace or sacrifice speed at all!
Continue to accelerate, catch up with the football, and then drive the ball into the Manchester Athletic half!
The Manchester Athletic fans in the stands booed harshly, almost covering up the cheers of the Madrid Pirates fans.
After crossing the center line, Farias faced Manchester Athletic center back Niels Van Acker who was pulling over from the center to cover up the defense. He chose to directly use the outside instep of his right foot to send the football to the center.
In this counterattack, Kamara crossed from the right to the center, and he received the ball from Farias.
Hu Lai formed the second wave of contact points in the area behind him.
After receiving the ball, Kamara continued to rush forward with the ball and finally shot the ball himself.
Although there was interference from Manchester United's other central defender Diediu, Kamara's shot missed the goal.
However, this counterattack still scared the Manchester Athletic fans in the stands and screamed.
"This ball... oh! It was just a miss!
"
Amidst the exclamations, He Feng and Yan Kang held their heads in their hands, leaned back, and let out a long sigh.
Then they cheered for the Madrid Pirates: "Although there was no goal in this counterattack, I think this counterattack showed one thing - the Madrid Pirates were not disrupted by conceding the ball in the first 24 seconds. We
Notice that after conceding the ball, Madrid Pirates head coach Parotti didn’t even rush to the sidelines to yell and make temporary adjustments. What does this mean? It shows that he cares about his football.
The team is reassured and he knows very well that his players can handle it!"
This actually means a bit like "seeing others' orders".
Because if Manchester United took the lead and bombarded the Madrid Pirates goal, the Madrid Pirates goal was shaken. Then the commentators would definitely not say that Parotti has a strong heart, but would criticize him for being beaten.
Don't know how to make adjustments.
Football is like this. In many cases, the result is not deduced from the process, but the process is deduced from the result. This is because deriving the result from the process is not a particularly reliable thing - there are too many unexpected factors in football matches, and the unexpected factors
The impact is also great.
If you can win, then even if you are so nervous that you go to the toilet ten times before the game, it may be the reason why you win - saying that you confuse your opponent in this way...
However, what He Feng and Yan Kang said is not completely nonsense, because the Madrid Pirates team did not panic after suffering a sudden blow.
Even Farias, the youngest player in the lineup, was not affected. This could be seen from the way he just used the instep of his outside foot to throw the football away without stopping the ball.
The ankle remains very stable.
If the mentality is affected, it is impossible to play such high-quality football.
Anyone who has played football knows how difficult it is to move the football forward without stopping the ball with the instep.
※※※
When Manchester Athletic fans were still dreaming in the stands, imagining that the home team, which had taken the lead in the first 24 seconds, would completely trample the Madrid Pirates with a devastating offensive in the next game, the actual game on the field
But it didn't go according to their ideas.
Not only were the Madrid Pirates not beaten, they even had the energy to counterattack.
Facing the fierce attack of Manchester United, the Madrid Pirates quickly formed a unified opinion and launched a defensive counterattack.
"This is the advantage of having more veterans." Spanish commentator Alvarez Sanchez said, "In a marathon event like the league, having too many veterans is the disadvantage of Madrid Pirates. Players' physical fitness and injuries will affect the team's final results.
score.
"But in a cup like the Champions League, having more veterans is an advantage. Faced with all kinds of emergencies and unexpected situations, experienced veterans seem to be able to cope with it... I'm sure that Parotti didn't take any action on this before the game.
Special preparation arrangements were made for this situation. After all, he couldn't have expected that he would concede the ball in just 24 seconds after the opening..."
It is true that Parotti did not consider such a specific situation, but it would be wrong to say that he did not prepare for similar situations at all.
Just before the final, Parotti showed his players a video of Manchester United's semi-final second leg against the Madrid Kings.
In that game, Manchester United also took the lead from the beginning.
Although it is not as good as the current twenty-four-second goal, it is still ridiculously fast.
In less than a minute, Manchester United won a penalty kick.
Parotti mentioned this situation to the players and asked them to be careful of Manchester United's opening attack.
And how to deal with it if Manchester United scores a goal just after the opening.
The specific method is actually very simple to summarize, which is to "avoid its sharp edges".
Manchester Athletic, who had just taken the lead, had the highest morale, and it was still at home. Madrid Pirates had a hard time attacking the opponent.
At this time, of course, you must choose to shrink your defense and stabilize your position first to avoid being defeated by the opponent twice in a row.
Losing the ball can fool the opponent because the opponent finds it difficult to accept being behind.
But for this Madrid Pirates, falling behind is not only commonplace, but also not a very rare thing. They encounter it many times.
In the first round of the semi-finals, didn't Madrid Pirates find themselves in a situation where Vesuvius scored a goal in the first three and a half minutes?
Before Chen Xingyi’s goal today, Vesuvius’s goal was still the fastest goal in the Champions League this season...
Then in the 16th minute, Madrid Pirates conceded another goal. Only fifteen minutes into the game, they fell behind by two goals.
The situation at that time was a hundred times more dangerous than it is now.
The results of it?
Madrid Pirates finally defeated Vesuvius 4:3 and completed a shocking reversal in the away game.
In comparison, conceding the ball in the first 24 seconds today is really ordinary.
When Madrid Pirates won three consecutive Champions League titles, they stumbled every time and were ridiculed as "all relying on luck" and "unconvincing".
But in turn, this just shows that this team often plays against the wind, and they are particularly good at fighting in unfavorable situations.
This team has a very special kind of resilience.
Can't tell why.
Is it because there are many veterans and rich experience? What kind of scenes have you never seen before?
Before that, when the lineup didn't have so many veterans, they often reversed course...
※※※
"mess!"
He Feng exclaimed.
I saw the football being swept from the right to the center by Kamara.
Hu Laizheng and Diediu in the middle were entangled and ran towards the landing point at the same time.
Although Diediu always had interference in his hands, Hu Lai finally got the spot!
He turned sideways to face the flying football and swung his leg across!
England's main goalkeeper Shim Dickinson of Manchester United rushed in and saved the football from the bottom line under extremely extreme circumstances!
"Wow!" England commentator Matthew Cox cheered, "Dickinson! He made an incredible save!"
David Miller in front of the TV snorted: "It sounds like it's amazing. Now you are in the lead! But now the pirates' counterattack is more threatening. They are really promising!"
He and his friends originally wanted to watch the game live.
But because the Manchester Athletic fans were so crazy, almost all the tickets for neutral fans were sold out.
Even if he and his companions wanted to find scalpers, they couldn't buy tickets.
So they had no choice but to come to Manchester and find a bar to watch the game.
This is the closest they can get to Hu Lai.
However, as supporters of Hu Lai, they are of course on the side of the Madrid Pirates today.
I was very unhappy about Manchester United taking a one-goal lead at the start.
Until now, David Miller's face has always been slumped.
※※※
Although Hu Lai's shot did not score a goal, it helped the Madrid Pirates get a corner kick.
The person responsible for taking this corner kick was Madrid Pirates midfielder Vukovic.
After everyone was in position, he raised his right hand high, then took off and passed the football towards the back of the goal!
Pirates captain Juan Ramirez, who was originally near the penalty spot, pulled away diagonally after the football was kicked out and ran backwards.
His sudden movement created an excellent opportunity for himself. Facing the flying football, he raised his right leg and wanted to volley directly!
Upon seeing this, Manchester Athletic midfielder Jota Serreo jumped up, turned his back, and tried to block his shot with his body.
The inside instep of Ramirez's right foot hit the ball diagonally.
So Sereo jumped up and did not block the football. Instead, he let the football escape from under him, hit the turf, and bounced towards the back corner of the goal!
No...not flying towards the back corner of the goal!
Instead, it's a little off, and it has to fly directly out of the bottom line from the back point!
Goalkeeper Dickinson, who had just pounced back from the front, turned around and pounced back. Seeing that the football was about to fly out of the baseline, he was ready to watch the football go out of bounds, so that even a corner kick would not be given to the Madrid Pirates.
But while everyone was watching, and the football was about to fly out of the baseline, a person suddenly jumped out from the back of the crowd!
He jumped in the air, stretched out his legs and kicked out, twisting his body into a twist and exerting force, and with his back to the goal, he hit the football with his spikes!
Dickinson, who was in the process of turning around and rushing back, saw this scene, his knees softened, and he fell to his knees.
From watching the football fly out of the baseline, I suddenly turned into watching the football fly into my own goal!
"mess!
Sanchez excitedly shouted Hu Lai's full name. "Hu Lai!"
In the fourteenth minute, he scored a goal for Madrid Pirates, 1:1! Sure enough, Madrid Pirates once again quickly equalized the score after falling behind!"
The cheers of the Madrid Pirates fans could finally be heard at the shuttle field. The Manchester Athletic fans were temporarily silenced by this sudden blow.
They seemed to be reminded of the previous reversal stories about the Pirates of Madrid.
Yes, why is this team always so resilient?
This is true now and it was true before.
why?
Maybe it’s because they have a striker who is extremely efficient and can score goals...
It seemed to be a reassurance for all Pirates players.
Tell them, no matter what happens, don't be afraid, I am here.
