Chapter 71 Equalizing the Score

Manchester United's first goal made Paris Saint-Germain very passive, especially at this point in time, as it was about to enter the second half, Manchester United was likely to gain a certain advantage before the start of the second half.

The whole Old Trafford was cheering. Although it was a goal, Manchester United fans breathed a big sigh of relief.

The opponent is Paris Saint-Germain, a team recognized as a super strong team in European competition in recent years.

And Manchester United gained a score advantage at home, and they suddenly felt that the goddess of victory was waving to them.

After scoring the first goal, Manchester United began to defend across the board, which made it difficult for Paris Saint-Germain to score and equalize the score in just a few minutes.

Even Yile needs a certain amount of time to arrange the midfield.

Overall, time is too tight.

Time passed little by little, and after Neymar attempted a long shot, the referee decisively blew the midfield whistle.

"Great, Manchester United took the lead in the first half. They are very likely to shake the galactic battleship Paris Saint-Germain and even kick them out of the Champions League!" England commentator Gavin shouted excitedly.

Now it is Manchester United who scores the first goal, and they also have the home field advantage. Manchester United has a great chance of winning.

In the stadium, the faces of Manchester United players were also smiling. Obviously, they did not expect to lead by one goal in the first half.

The imagined onslaught of Paris did not materialize, which was good news for them.

Manchester United's head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was equally excited. He high-fived every Manchester United player who came off the field.

He knew exactly what was before him now.

This is Paris Saint-Germain, the Galacticos that countless teams have targeted in recent years but failed to overturn.

But now they are very likely to win a small game. After all, this is Old Trafford and this is the territory of the Red Devils!

If they are lucky, a draw at the Parc des Princes will really knock Paris Saint-Germain out of the Champions League, and it will also bring him one step closer to becoming a famous coach.

Solskjaer is a coach who is very good at mobilizing the atmosphere. During the halftime break, he encouraged every player, especially Pogba, who was praised a little.

In encouragement,

The morale of the Manchester United players is high.

On the other side, Paris Saint-Germain looked a little weird.

The atmosphere in the locker room was very relaxed, and there was no anxiety after falling behind. Jin Pengbei even told two dirty jokes, which caused a lot of laughter.

Wag and Militang looked confused. They were the only two who were anxious.

The other players were very relaxed, but the two rookies were running around anxiously.

Guys, we are lagging behind!

This is the home court of Manchester United. Do you know what this means?

But the two little guys can only worry. With their status, even if they speak out, no one will listen.

Seeing the two little guys looking nervous and anxious, Neymar couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yi Le and said with a smile: "They two are anxious!"

Yi Le didn't even raise his head, he was still bending over to adjust his socks and said: "If you fall behind, you will naturally be anxious!"

"So, we are going to attack in the second half?" Neymar asked with a slightly raised brow.

Yi Le patted his shin guards, straightened up, and the whole locker room fell silent for a moment.

Everyone's eyes were looking at Yi Le, and even captain Thiago Silva remained silent at this time.

From this, we can see Yi Le's status in the team.

"Guys, we're lagging behind!" Yi Le's words were very plain, as if he was explaining other people's matters.

The Paris players also put away their playful expressions and looked at Yi Le seriously.

Yi Le nodded slightly, as if he was stating a fact.

"In the second half, we are going to score!"

In a simple sentence, everyone understood how to play in the second half. After the exhaustion in the first half, Manchester United was already in a passive state.

Even though Paris defended throughout the game, they kept tempting Manchester United players to keep running.

At this time, assistant coach Michel took out a form and said: "In the first half, Manchester United's average running distance was 10 kilometers, which has reached the critical point of physical fitness."

After speaking, he smiled and said: "Yes, the second half is our time!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

And Villas-Boas even smiled and said: "It seems that I don't need to say anything more. In the second half, we will attack and let them see how Paris plays football!"

Roar! !

The players roared in unison, and their morale instantly rose.

In the corner, Wag and Militang were confused the whole time.

They couldn't understand what was happening, but they had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts that they could win this game!

They don't know where this confidence comes from, but it is very strong.

After winning the Champions League, Paris is no longer a team with insufficient stamina. They have become tough and will not lose their mentality due to setbacks.

Their ability to self-regulate is very strong, which will allow Paris to exert jaw-dropping energy at critical moments.

...

After the start of the second half, the situation was obviously different.

The most striking thing is undoubtedly that Paris began to take the initiative to attack.

In particular, the two wings Neymar and Di Maria made several breakthroughs that caused Manchester United to suffer a lot.

Manchester United is in pain. When defending Neymar and Di Maria, they also need to take care of the center.

After all, there is a Paris killer there.

Since the start of the second half, Yi Le has not been too expressive, nor too obsessed with sticking to the ball, but even so, Manchester United does not dare to take it lightly.

They know that Yile has the ability to tear apart Manchester United's defense in an instant, so many people focus on Yile.

When you are multitasking, there will always be oversights.

The result of too many people paying attention to Yile, Neymar, and Di Maria is that they will lose a certain amount of vision.

And there, Mbappe lurked quietly.

In general, Paris has too many offensive points and Manchester United cannot defend them at all.

And after increasing the pressure, Manchester United's passing became even more difficult to maintain.

"What the hell!"

After being intercepted by Neymar, Pogba cursed subconsciously, then rushed towards Neymar and hit him hard.

If it were Neymar in the past, he would definitely teach him how to behave with a diving move, but now Neymar is an iron-headed boy. This guy endured the impact, and then cleverly picked the ball and passed the ball directly to Yi Le's feet.

Yi Le stopped the ball steadily, and the entire Manchester United immediately felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. The defense shrank crazily, and everyone looked at Yi Le with solemn expressions.

However, Yi Le looked up and then passed the ball to the left, as if he had no interest in breaking through.

The Manchester United players couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next second, they suddenly woke up.

Left?

Di Maria! !

When the Manchester United players came to their senses, Di Maria had already reached the bottom line, while Neymar, Yile, and Mbappe were already in front of the goal, ready to fight for the top.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea shouted in horror: "Don't let him kick!"

But he shouted a step too late. Di Maria had already completed the kicking process.

The ball was passed with a slight arc, which allowed the Paris forwards to sprint wildly.

The three men penetrated directly into the opponent's half, immediately causing Manchester United's defense to collapse.

The ball flew backwards, and Neymar and Bailly were fighting. Neymar nimbly ran to the landing point, sat upright, stood on his heels, and lightly pushed the ball.

The ball changed direction again and flew towards the center landing point.

And there, Yi Le... went too far!

Yi Le's eyes were twitching. He looked at the ball that appeared behind him and almost subconsciously kicked his legs to take off. He used his waist strength to forcefully turn himself in mid-air and swung his left leg fiercely.

Standard upside down gold hook!

boom! !

The ball hit the opponent's goal like a cannonball, and it hit the goal before De Gea could recover.
