Chapter 302: The Mighty Rooney

After being scored by Robben, both Kanter and Nainggolan blamed themselves a little. They cheered up and tried their best to protect Manchester United's defense.

Kanter made Ribery on the left very awkward through his large-scale defense. His forward space made Kanter more and more compressed and did nothing for a while.

And Nainggolan is close to Robben, as long as Robben takes the ball, Nainggolan will directly step forward and tackle fiercely. You know, in addition to the nickname "Peter Pan", Robben also has a nickname called "Glass Man". He has suffered many injuries in his career. Seeing Nainggolan's fierce tackle, Robben felt a little nervous. He didn't dare to use his speed to eat Nainggolan raw to avoid getting hurt.

In this way, although Bayern scored a goal to overtake the score, their offense gradually weakened, while Manchester United's offense gradually improved.

"Nahinggolan dribbles forward! He wins the physical fight against Müller!"

"He passed the ball to Wayne Rooney and went on!"

"Two over one! This match is beautiful!"

"Nainggolan's powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area! The ball went over the bar!"

"Giggs attacked from the left! He cut inside to the center!"

"Split to the left! Evra assists and goes forward! Cross!"

"Van Persie's header! It was too straight and was thrown by Neuer!"

During this period of time, Manchester United gradually regained their vitality, and their several attacks have looked good. Especially the veteran Ryan Giggs, he continued to break through and cut inside on the left, creating several good offensive opportunities.

Giggs is not as fast as he was back then, but he has a lot of experience and his skills are still at the top level. The left side where he is located is also the area that Bayern focuses on defense.

The best performance in this game is not Ryan Giggs, but striker Rooney. Rooney was very excited today. His goal at a critical moment in the first half helped the team recover from adversity.

In the second half, Rooney was even more active. In the second half, De Bruyne moved to the right side, and Rooney retreated from time to time, playing the role of an organizational midfielder and taking control of the overall situation. And since Giggs came on the field, Rooney often leaned to the left to help Giggs, who couldn't get up to speed, to fight back.

With Rooney's wonderful performance, although Manchester United is now one goal behind, the scene is still not passive.

Guardiola nodded again and again off the court: "Rooney's performance today is fantastic. He is really a rare all-around player in world football."

Guardiola's assistant said casually: "If we can buy Rooney during the winter transfer period, then today's game should be much easier to play."

Guardiola frowned, he didn't speak, but he was thinking about it quickly in his heart.

In the 76th minute of the game, Jin Taige made another substitution adjustment. He needs to score now. Kintag replaced Van Persie with Salah. In this game, Van Persie was firmly marked by Bayern and did nothing. Kintag let Salah, who was faster and better in dribbling, go up and charge.

In the next game, Guardiola decided to keep the 2-1 victory, and he played three cards in a row. Replaced Robben and Ribery, who had suffered from serious physical decline, and replaced Shaqiri and Thiago, leaving only Shaqiri and Muller in the midfielder position.

Let Thiago retreat to the midfielder, forming a 4321 formation. Then he replaced Boateng, who was slightly injured before the game, with Dante, and continued to stabilize his defense.

At this time, the game has progressed to the third minute, and Manchester United is still looking for opportunities in the frontcourt.

"Rooney retreated to get the ball, he turned and got rid of Thiago who had just played! It seems that Thiago has not yet entered the game state."

"Rooney passed the ball to Salah, and Salah started very fast, and he rushed to the new Dante who had just come on the field!"

"At this time Giggs and De Bruyne are both moving forward quickly to meet Salah."

"Salah passed Dante, he had a good chance in front of the box!"

"Tackling! Salah fell to the ground! The moment Salah was about to shoot, Schweinsteiger tackled Salah from the side! This foul happened on the penalty area line, don't know what the referee will do Penalty!"

> "The referee stopped the game, he ran to the scene of the incident. Yellow card! The referee showed a yellow card to Schweinsteiger for the tackle and awarded a free kick on the penalty area line!"

The Manchester United players were very dissatisfied. Under the leadership of Giggs, they surrounded the referee to appeal. They thought it was a penalty.

Jin Taige on the sidelines was very anxious. He stared at the situation on the field with wide eyes, and then kept complaining to the fourth official.

Guardiola next to him stood motionless on the sidelines. He was relieved to see that the referee only awarded a yellow card and a free kick. As long as his team can return to Munich with two away goals, then he has the confidence to return to home and kill Manchester United!

After half a day of dispute, the referee upheld the original verdict and asked Manchester United to make a free throw.

This time Giggs and Rooney both stood in front of the ball, staring at Bayern's goal. At this time, Neuer is nervously arranging the defense line, letting the wall move left and right, looking for the most suitable position.

This free throw position is very close to the goal, and it is quite difficult to hit the goal. During Giggs' injury, Rooney was the team's first free-kick taker. This time Giggs returned to the court, and Rooney tactfully abdicated. He stood on the side of the ball, ready to screen Giggs.

But Giggs whispered to Rooney: "Wayne, I just came back from injury, I think I can't grasp the ball well. You feel good with your feet today. You can take the penalty for this ball."

In fact, Rooney did feel good on his feet today. When he heard what Giggs said, he hesitated: "Captain, I"

Giggs patted him: "Don't be shy, it's up to you, score this goal and tie the game!"

Rooney no longer hesitated, he stood in front of the ball, carefully observed Neuer's position and shooting angle, and prepared to take a free throw.

"Rooney and Giggs stood in front of the ball at the same time. Which of them will take the penalty?"

"It's Wayne Rooney! The penalty is in the far corner! The ball is in!!! The ball is in!!!"

"Rooney kicked a beautiful curve ball directly to the far corner, bypassing Neuer's arm! 2 to 2!"

"Facing last season's Champions League champions and the powerful Bayern, Manchester United has no fear! They equalized the score twice in a row in front of the opponent's goal! This Manchester United is at the intersection of the old and the new, but they Still full of tenacity, maintaining the end of not admitting defeat! This is the best Manchester United spirit, and also the most precious Red Devils wealth!"
