Chapter 2185 Shocks Etihad with speed again!
Obviously, Messi's obsession is getting deeper and deeper.
And today is the critical moment to break the obsession!
"Beep beep~"
At the end of the first half of the game, Ye Chen made a shot from the outside.
But his foot didn't cover the football and it flew directly out of the baseline.
The referee Laos also blew the whistle.
Players from both sides began to leave the field.
Many Manchester United fans had solemn expressions.
We lost three in the first half alone.
Although they now have the advantage of away goals, can Manchester United defend with one less player?
A big question mark must be put!
In the locker room, Rice apologized to everyone in frustration.
But Ye Chen gave him a big hug and told him not to blame himself.
Everyone makes mistakes. What really matters is the attitude towards mistakes.
Do you accept criticism, mend your ways, or run away?
Rice did not evade, he took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Ancelotti sighed.
In fact, he felt that it was his own problem.
In such an important game, letting a 19-year-old boy start, and in the most crucial defensive midfielder position, is really a bit of forcing things.
But the reason for making this decision is that Rice had previously demonstrated a calmness and composure far beyond his peers.
"Guys, this is a bit of a mixed bag, we're in the biggest mess of the season."
"You also felt that the referee was a bit home-field whistle today."
"But faced with such a situation, we can only do our part... Fighting with the referee is irrational!"
"We must calm ourselves down. The more dangerous the situation is, the more calm we must be!"
"In the second half, we must not just defend blindly. Ye, you have to take the lead. Kevin, you may need to retreat a little..."
"Chris, your activity area is here, pin them both down in the front court!"
"..."
"Our outstanding performance this season has made almost everyone want us to lose!"
"But I believe in you!"
"You will never let down the fans who support you!"
Ancelotti has been active in football for so many years, so it is easy for him to encourage his players.
Of course, this is indeed a critical moment for Manchester United's survival.
Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Players from both teams walked off the field.
In the corridor, Messi and Ronaldo happened to meet each other. They looked at each other and hurriedly looked away, walking straight out of the stadium.
The man who once divided the world in La Liga came to the Premier League and started a new journey.
If Manchester City can eliminate Manchester United today, Manchester United will win all the Premier League titles, and Manchester City will go for the Champions League.
In Guardiola's words just now, "Beat Manchester United and reach the semi-finals! As long as we win the Champions League, we will be the most successful team in the world this year!"
A Champions League title is indeed more important than all other titles!
The fans in the stands came back early in the morning, not wanting to miss a single minute of the game.
The commentator also got into the state in advance.
Zhan Jun looked a little serious. "Looking at the state of both teams in the first half, Manchester City performed better. The score also shows the problem. The main reason is that Rice received a red card. Once the 70th minute came, Manchester United might not be able to keep up with Manchester City!"
Zhang Lu also sighed, "The question now is whether Manchester United can steal another goal. As long as they score one more goal, there is still a glimmer of hope for the nine-man defense!"
"Well, we all see that the aggregate score is now 3-3. Manchester United has taken the initiative to qualify because of an away goal."
"But the situation is more favorable for Manchester City!"
The second half of the game officially started. Manchester City did not rush, but took control of the ball first.
Let the game enter your own rhythm.
54 minutes 20 seconds.
Cancelo on the left dribbled the ball forward and faced Messi's interception, and decisively went to the outside.
But when the ball was pushed out, his left foot sprained when it landed.
The football rolled out of the field and the team doctor rushed in.
After the spray treatment, Cancelo, who was unable to hold on, limped off the field with the help of the team doctor.
Ancelotti frowned and had no choice but to replace Cancelo with Ake.
The main reason is that it is such an important game, and he is not confident in letting Rojo play.
Rojo, who plays as a full-back, is not trustworthy, especially when he is facing Messi.
In the hearts of contemporary Argentines, Messi's status is unquestionable.
The passive adjustment had to use up two of Manchester United's quota places, leaving them with even fewer changes to make.
But something happened that gave Manchester United fans some comfort.
Just four minutes later, Manchester City's newly returned left-back Mendy tore the inner thigh muscle without any confrontation.
He was also helped off the field.
Manchester City replaced Delph from the previous game.
Guardiola also frowned, and he planned to make two substitutions in 65 minutes.
But this injury disrupted his plans.
In the 67th minute, Manchester City took the initiative to make a substitution, and replaced two players at a time.
Wang Chu had just recovered from injury, and although he had an outstanding performance, the team was worried about his physical fitness, so they let him go off the court to rest and replaced him with Gundogan.
The other player to be substituted was left winger Sterling.
Sterling played well in the first half, but became somewhat invisible afterwards.
The substitute was Messi's good friend Aguero.
Aguero also recovered from injury recently, and at this moment everyone expects him to create a miracle.
Just like when he defeated the opponent and snatched the league championship from Manchester United!
Manchester United did not make any adjustments.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but the time has not come yet.
When the time reached 70 minutes, a clear and pleasant reminder sound rang out again in Ye Chen's sea of consciousness.
The King of Adversity state is activated!
Ye Chen, who was a little tired, became energetic again.
Of course, outsiders can't see it.
After the game resumed, Manchester City continued to attack on the right.
72 minutes 05 seconds.
Messi got the ball and made another breakthrough on the right.
When he suddenly speeds up, it is really difficult for Manchester United players to defend him.
But he didn't force his way past Ake who had just come up.
Messi feels that his physical strength is almost up...
"Boom!"
After reaching the opponent's hinterland, make a decisive pass horizontally.
Gundogan, who had just come on, transitioned through the middle and passed the ball to Jesus on the left.
After Sterling left the field, Jesus replaced him on the left.
I have to say that the Brazilian players' technical skills are really good.
With a touch of his toes, the football landed neatly in front of him.
Damian chased back and got into position immediately.
But Jesus sent the ball towards the penalty area with his left foot.
"The ball was passed too casually!" Zhan Jun couldn't help but shake his head.
Sure enough, Pepe cleared the ball easily.
When there was time for the ball, he passed the ball to Ye Chen on the left.
Looking at the flying football, Ye Chen also judged the position of Seat B behind him!
Get stuck!
"Boom!"
Seat B felt like he had hit a wall!
However, before he could stand firmly, Ye Chen pushed the ball behind him with his head.
The next moment, Ye Chen took seat B as the center, turned around gracefully, and walked past him.
Manchester City’s defense was suddenly in a panic!
However, Ye Chen had already rushed forward.
No, it should be flying!
Otamendi, who stayed in the backcourt, immediately moved to the right to defend.
But Ye Chen was one step faster and caught up with the football without any hesitation.
"Boom!"
The ball was directly pushed towards the opponent's half.
Otamendi didn't care about anything and just wanted to take action directly.
But Ye Chen had anticipated this.
She swung her arm and broke free from his clutches...
"boom!"
At this moment, a red supercar started at full power!
Manchester City players began to chase back with gritted teeth.
But you will find that the distance between the two sides is getting farther and farther!
Ye Chen, who had been silent for most of the game, once again shocked the Etihad Stadium with his speed...
Ps: Brothers, yesterday's predictions were all correct except for Manchester City, which seemed to be the most stable! In particular, I emphasized not to pick Liverpool. Who would have thought that they would lose the game directly 01-! ! Chelsea also relied on the last-minute goal, which was really a pitfall! ! Today's predictions will be brought later~
