Chapter 1029, Rules and Winning

Shortly after De Gea restarted the game, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. Players from both teams breathed a sigh of relief. The first half was too fierce.

In the first half, the two teams tied 1-1, and the two teams were evenly matched. This result is completely acceptable to Manchester United; but for Paris, who are aiming for a comeback, they are unwilling to do so.

For them, this score means that they must score three more goals in the second half, and then they cannot allow Manchester United to score again, so that they can eliminate Manchester United and advance to the Champions League quarterfinals.

But looking at Manchester United's excellent state at the end of the first half, this was simply an impossible task.

After returning to the locker room after halftime, before Emery could lay out his tactics, Neymar whispered to him: "Coach, I think my right toe is sprained."

Emery was shocked, and he hurriedly asked the team doctor to examine him. However, an injury of this degree is difficult to diagnose through on-site examination, unless he goes to the hospital for professional equipment examination.

But now Paris has no time, and neither does Neymar.

The team doctor gently moved his sprained toe and asked Neymar how he was doing. Neymar calmly said it was nothing serious, just a slight pain. As a result, the team doctor initially believed that the problem was not serious.

In fact, when the team doctor was wiggling his toes just now, Neymar was almost screaming in pain!

But he held back.

Now the team needs to score goals and needs him. He must not leave the field and must persist through the second half.

So Neymar asked the team doctor to give him simple treatment, and then told Emery that he had no problem.

Emery breathed a sigh of relief when Neymar said this.

Now that the team has lost Silva, if they lose Neymar again, there will be no hope of a comeback in this game.

At this time, in the Manchester United locker room, Jin Taige was also making urgent tactical arrangements. Although the score was 1-1 in the first half, considering that Manchester United had an absolute advantage and hit the goalpost twice, it seems that the Manchester United team performed well in the first half. Coupled with the absolute advantage of the total score, Manchester United's qualifying situation can be said to be guaranteed to win.

Despite this, Jin Taige still dare not take it lightly. Just because the opponent has that Brazilian genius in their lineup.

Jintig saw clearly that 70% of the threats in the entire first half came from Neymar. Although Di Maria and Cavani are also top stars, when facing Manchester United's super defense, none of them has the ability to change the situation.

But Neymar does.

The goal at the beginning made Jin Taige terrified. If you just talk about his performance in the first half, it is definitely not inferior to Melo! It would be really troublesome if he was given this opportunity easily again.

However, in the second half of the first half, Golden Tiger found that Neymar seemed a little less active. This is not to say that his condition is poor, but that his speed and confrontation are not as good as in the opening stage.

Jin Taige thought: I heard before the game that Neymar had just recovered from his injury. Could it be that his injury has not fully recovered?

At this time in the locker room, Van Dijk proposed to mark Neymar personally. He asked Kim Tiger: "Boss, do you want me to be more aggressive?"

Jin Taige thought for a while and said slowly: "You can strengthen the physical collision appropriately, but... don't commit flagrant fouls, and don't tackle people at the same time."

Van Dyke nodded: "I understand."

At this time Alonso shook his head. The boss is still a bit conservative. If it were me, I would probably find a way to get Neymar out. That guy just passed me twice in a row, which really made me unhappy!

Kimmich glanced at Alonso and whispered to him: "Maxi, I know what you are thinking, but the boss is not such a person. The boss wants to win more than you and I, but the boss also I will never use dirty tricks. Even if I ask Van Dijk to strengthen his body collision, or let Fekir kill the game time in the past few days,

This is all within the scope of the competition rules and is reasonable. But that kind of malicious foul behavior is absolutely not allowed by the boss! When we win at Manchester United, we must be upright! "

Alonso glanced at him: "As long as you have high moral standards..."

During the halftime break, in addition to arranging Van Dijk to mark Neymar, Golden Tiger also asked other defensive players to step up their fighting. After all, Paris' strength is to play with physical discomfort. Apart from strong men like Cavani, Paris rarely has The body is extremely strong. Kim Tiger wanted to use constant physical contact to interrupt Paris' attack and bring the game to a deadlock. In this way, Paris, who is lagging behind, will attack more desperately and desperately, and the loopholes in their defense will be even greater. Neymar is strong, and Manchester United's trident is also at the top level! As long as there is a chance to score, they will never miss it.

Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, the two teams fell into a physical fight.

Emery asked Paris to strengthen its attack in the second half, and even moved the two full-backs to the winger positions. However, under the frequent collisions of Manchester United, Paris' attack was difficult to sustain and was interrupted many times.

Emery was extremely anxious off the field. He shouted at the players on the field, asking them to use more movement to tear apart Manchester United's defense. But on the central axis of defense against Dyke and midfielder Kante, Paris simply cannot easily tear apart Manchester United's defense.

Faced with this dilemma, Paris has only one option left.

Rely on Neymar's personal breakthrough!

After a physical fight in the second half, Paris finally shifted their focus. They frequently handed the ball to Neymar's feet, and Neymar completed the final blow.

Neymar also created two good offensive opportunities in a row. Twice in a row, he got the opportunity to attack from Van Dijk. Although the angle was small, it was enough for Neymar to perform. His decisive shooting angles were very tricky, posing a considerable threat to De Gea. Both saves by De Gea felt very reluctant.

Seeing this situation, Alonso on the left was a little anxious. He took advantage of the dead ball and ran to Van Dijk: "Captain, you can be a little harsher on Neymar."

Van Dijk was also a little embarrassed. After all, Neymar's two breakthroughs just now had a lot to do with him: "Maxi, the boss didn't let me foul Neymar..."

Alonso thought to himself: You are really stubborn.

"Captain, the boss asked you to strengthen your physical confrontation. In the situation just now, you could have knocked Neymar away. If you are soft-hearted towards the enemy, wouldn't it be troublesome if Neymar makes a comeback?"
