Chapter six hundred and thirty second epic reversal
"At this time, I have to say that the fighting spirit and courage you have shown are fully qualified to win the Champions League championship - I define you as the head coach with the most Champions League titles in history.
.”
After returning to the locker room, Dick smiled and said to all the players: "To be honest, although we were very strong before, but to win the Champions League, it is not just about strength. In addition to luck, we also need perseverance."
Nerves, unyielding fighting spirit, and the spirit of never giving up at any time. Now that I have seen these things in you, I am extremely confident in winning the Champions League this season!"
Dick's words made the Manchester City players start to tremble with excitement. You know, although such words are not uncommon, it is a bit rare to come from Dick's mouth. To the outside world, he likes to broadcast satellites and talk big words. However,
Internally, he used the strictest demands on Manchester City's players. Even when they entered the semi-finals, Dick was saying that this team wanted to win the Champions League.
It was just a hair away, but at this time, he admitted that Manchester City was fully qualified to win the Champions League!
This proves that in Dick's mind, the current Manchester City is completely comparable to the strong teams he led that have won the Champions League before!
"Now we need at least one goal - on the surface, that's the case. However, one thing we have to pay attention to is that Manchester United will never be satisfied with just one goal... They have many outstanding attackers. At this time, they
Another goal will expand the lead, so we have to score more goals in the second half. Remember, don’t think that the opponent will not score, think that we will score more goals! Manchester United’s defense is absolutely useless
It was so impeccable. We failed to score in the first round because they had better defensive luck. This game will not replicate that situation again. We scored two goals in the first half and we must keep the same in the second half.
Our strong offensive capabilities will allow us to enter the finals! Go ahead and kill them with offense!"
After some impassioned talk in the locker room, Dick led the team out of the locker room to meet the challenge of the second half.
It is impossible for this game to go to overtime or a penalty shootout. If they fail to win two goals, then these 45 minutes will be Manchester City's last 45 minutes in this season's Champions League!
After the start of the second half, Manchester City continued their crazy offensive momentum, without saving physical energy, and there was no need to save physical energy - the opponent in the next game is still Manchester United. If this game drags the opponent to consume physical energy, then it will not be good for the next game.
Competitions are also of great help. When the time comes when everyone is not physically fit enough, it will be just a matter of half a pound!
Manchester City continued to attack from both wings, attacking O'Shea's side and suppressing Evra's assists. The offensive effect was not bad. At least in the first half, Manchester City continued to attack back and forth from both wings, and finally got a
If the second goal scored from a set kick is suppressed too much on both wings, it will be difficult for Manchester United to attack!
Ribery's shot hit the crossbar...
Torres turned around and shot a shot in front of the penalty area, but Van der Sar narrowly saved it...
Ashley Young's pass and shot went over the bar...
After ten minutes of furious attack, Manchester United's counterattack made all Manchester City fans almost fall into despair!
Ronaldo tapped Rooney with his heel and then moved forward. Rooney passed the ball directly to Park Ji-sung on the wing. Park passed the ball diagonally behind the Manchester City defense. Cristiano Ronaldo, who inserted at high speed, shook off Kompany and broke into the penalty area before Hart could attack.
Score from the far corner!
The score is 2 to 2! The total score is 3 to 2. If Manchester City wants to advance, they have to score two goals!
Ferguson applauded with satisfaction. This goal can be said to expand Manchester United's advantage again, and in the following time, he can choose to control the midfield...
Ronaldo scored in the 61st minute, and then Ferguson used three substitutions in a row.
In the 63rd minute, Giggs replaced Anderson.
In the 65th minute, Rafael replaced O'Shea.
In the 66th minute, Berbatov replaced Rooney.
Three dead balls, three substitutions for Manchester United - this approach can also be regarded as a side-goal trick. When Manchester City wanted to counterattack, their offense was interrupted three times in a row. This made Manchester City's counterattack momentum after losing the ball complete.
The exhaustion continued.
Dick had been watching Ferguson's substitutions with cold eyes. He didn't start to make substitutions until Ferguson had used up three substitutions.
Bale replaced Ashley Young, Franck Ribery came to the right, and Benzema replaced the goal scorer Di Natale to increase his breakthrough ability.
These two substitutions stabilized Manchester City's position, and Manchester City began to regroup and attack again!
Ferguson smiled slightly. Dick really didn't give up. He specifically started to make substitutions after he had used up three substitution places. He would rather waste some time and let the next attack not be disturbed. He was indeed a master.
's handwriting.
However, are you so confident in your players? Do you think they will definitely be able to score two goals in the next game? If not, no matter how timely your adjustments are, you will not be able to prevent Manchester United from entering the Champions League for two consecutive years.
finals!
I have confidence in my players, they will be able to complete an epic reversal in the next time! Dick thought coldly in his heart.
"In this game, it is difficult for Manchester City to advance... There are still twenty-five minutes left before the end of the game. Although I admire Manchester City's tenacious fighting spirit and unyielding spirit. As a new team in the Champions League, they can
The status of a fourth-tier team reaching this point has created a miracle. However, although their performance in the semi-finals was excellent, it was not as good as their opponents. Even if they were eliminated, they would not be ashamed."
Many commentators have begun to conclude the coffin. After all, there are still more than twenty minutes left. Although Manchester City's offense has not stopped, can they really complete the miracle? If miracles can happen every day, then it will not happen.
It's a miracle...
Dick watched the Manchester City players continue to attack without changing his expression. He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that Ferguson ignored despite being careful - he replaced Anderson and O'Shea, who had yellow cards on them. However,
It was inappropriate to replace Rooney with Berbatov. Rooney's running made Dick very afraid. The cooperation between him and Cristiano Ronaldo was the key to Cristiano Ronaldo's great success in the past two years, and sending Berba to
Tove, Ferguson may have wanted to take advantage of his height and ball-playing ability, but it also relieved Manchester City of their final worries!
Among Manchester United's current players, there are still players with yellow cards, such as Fletcher and Evra. If we can seize this point...
When the game reached the 76th minute, that is, when there was only a quarter of an hour left in the game and it was about to end, such an opportunity finally came!
Benzema took the ball from the outside of the penalty area and suddenly raised his foot to pass behind Manchester United's defense. This pass was quite good and happened to cross Manchester United's defense. Under the influence of Torres, Ribery and others, Vidal was offside.
Success, breaking into the restricted area!
Ferdinand and Vidic were unable to cover their positions for a while. Fletcher, who was returning to defense, tackled Vidal from behind in desperation. Vidal fell heavily in the penalty area!
"Penalty kick! Red card!" Countless Manchester City fans roared. Of course they know what this situation means at this time!
And Dick also jumped up from the coaching bench, waved his fists and roared on the sidelines!
Ferguson's face tightened. Fletcher had a yellow card, and this action could almost lead to a red card. Plus a penalty kick, and there would be one less player to play in the next ten minutes... At this moment, Ferguson knew all this.
The situation has begun to completely lose control!
Sure enough, the next moment, Italian referee Rossetti's whistle sounded. He ran into the penalty area, pointed at the penalty spot, and then waved Fletcher over...
The players of Manchester United were all begging for mercy. They knew that no matter what card was shown at this time, Fletcher would have to go off!
However, even if they were begging for mercy, nothing could be changed. Rossetti did not show a yellow card and then a red card for such a foul, but showed the red card directly in front of Fletcher!
In the case of a one-on-one attack in the opponent's penalty area, there is no dispute that a tackle from behind is fouled and a red card is directly shown!
Fletcher left the field dejectedly, but for Manchester United, if the penalty kick can be saved, the foul is worth it - after all, the penalty kick may not be scored!
This is also a gamble. If the penalty kick is not scored, then Manchester United has won the bet. If the penalty kick is scored, then Fletcher has lost the bet!
Such a penalty kick is very critical and the pressure will be great.
Franck Ribery stood up. He is Manchester City's first penalty kicker. At a time like this, he must shoulder such a responsibility!
Van der Sar stood in front of him. The Dutchman is also a goalkeeper who is very good at saving penalty kicks. In last season's Champions League final, it was his outstanding performance in the penalty shootout that brought Manchester United to the top of Europe.
!
However, at this time, Ribery did not let the opportunity to become a hero slip away from his hands. The penalty kick he took almost flew into the goal against the goal post. Although Van der Sar judged the direction correctly, he still
Can't stop the ball from entering the net!
When Ribery was running back and high-fiving his teammates in celebration, Dick opened his arms on the sidelines and looked up to the sky and roared!
The current situation has begun to tilt infinitely against Manchester City! They still need a goal, and Manchester United, with one less player, has no power to counterattack. More importantly, Manchester United has already spent three substitutions.
Now they don't have a single substitution spot!
Dick decisively used up the third substitution. He replaced Vidal with Deco, which increased the organization and passing ability of the midfield. He went all out to attack and all he wanted was the final victory!
"Last ball! Last ball!"
Manchester City fans gave out huge cheers and shouts. They were looking forward to seeing Manchester City's last goal, the goal that turned the tide and allowed Manchester City to enter the Champions League final!
Under such strong suppression, Manchester City finally seized the last glimmer of hope and choked fate!
In the 86th minute, Ribery took a free kick from the wing. Kompany, who was assisting, then nodded the ball and Torres took advantage of it to swing his head in the small penalty area and attack the goal with one hit!
"Big... big reversal! Manchester City scored the leading goal! This is the first time they have taken the lead in the total score! It will also be the most critical lead! Four to two, the total score is four to three! Epic
What a reversal! Great Manchester City! They eliminated their city rivals Manchester United and advanced to the Champions League final!"
As the commentator's voice began to distort with excitement, Manchester City fans cheered like never before!
