Seven Hundred and Twentieth Four Blind Spots!
Manchester City once again attacked to the right.
Lichtsteiner's forward drive formed a cooperation with Robben on the right and killed Manchester United's bottom line.
But the Red Devils' defense retreated quickly, leaving no more space for Manchester City.
Two Manchester City players tried unsuccessfully to break through and were forced to pass the ball back to Rakitic on the outside to reorganize.
After the Croatian midfielder stopped the ball, he stabilized a little and did not transfer it immediately. Instead, he saw Robben and Lichtsteiner withdraw to the offside position, and immediately passed the ball straight to Robben feet.
Robben stopped the ball with his back, was stuck behind Carrick, unable to turn around, and immediately passed the ball to Lichtsteiner on the sideline.
Manchester United's entire defense is tilted towards this side.
Because, even Suarez began to move closer to the right, and there was a posture of forcibly breaking through Manchester United's defense on the right.
It is now the seventy-ninth minute of the game.
The score was still one to zero.
With the decline of Manchester United's physical fitness, they are constantly at a disadvantage on the scene.
Ferguson made a substitution, replacing Fabio with Smalling to strengthen the team's defense on the right.
The away game was zero to one. After returning to Old Trafford, Manchester United still has a chance.
Ferguson's current attitude is relatively pragmatic, especially after 80 minutes of defending, he has basically been able to accept a zero-to-one.
But Manchester City couldn't accept it.
Lichtsteiner felt the tilt of Manchester United's defensive center of gravity. With his back to the right line, he took two steps back, pulled Manchester United's defense out a little, and passed it back to Rakitic.
The Croatian midfielder stopped the ball on the right, glanced at the left, and immediately transferred with a big cross.
The ball crossed more than half of the court, flew from the right side of the perimeter of the penalty area to the left side of the perimeter of the penalty area.
Gareth Bale stuck to the left line and stopped the ball with his left foot.
As soon as he stopped, he saw Smalling rushing towards him.
Fabio is fast and Gareth Bale has not been particularly active on the left flank this game.
But facing Smalling, Gareth Bell asked himself that he had enough advantages in speed and explosive power.
Without waiting for Smalling to approach, Gareth Bale made a fake move to cut into the penalty area to the left corner, then suddenly dunked the ball to the bottom line, and with a sudden stride, he threw Smalling away.
After rushing past, Gareth Bale caught up with the football and cut into Manchester United's penalty area from the left.
When he was about to rush into Bell's area, Ferdinand stood in front of Bell like a majestic mountain.
The Welshman was quick and quick, took the lead with his left foot and sent a cross.
Suarez in the middle of the penalty area followed up and shot angrily, but Vidic next to him fell to the ground and blocked.
The ball hit Vidic's leg, bounced back and landed on the right side of the penalty area.
I saw that Robben, who was still in the right corner of the penalty area just now, had already rushed forward with his left foot, just avoiding Carrick, and then hit with his left foot.
The ball crossed an elegant arc and headed towards the upper left corner of Manchester United's goal.
Van der Sar leaned to the right as he stood, and when he saw Robben kicking,
Immediately moved to the left, and flew to save.
But the Dutch goalkeeper was still a step behind.
The ball goes straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
dead end!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"At the 79th minute, Robben scored another goal for Manchester City!!!"
"This is an absolute dead end!"
"From Aryan Robben!"
After Robben scored a goal, he rushed to the sidelines excitedly, ran all the way, and finally knelt down in front of the stands of Manchester City fans.
The coaching staff has made it clear that he can't slide and kneel, but he can't hold back.
The other Manchester City players also chased after him and surrounded him.
Both Kompany and Rakitic hurriedly pulled Robben up, for fear that the player with strategic nuclear weapons would be injured again.
This is one of Manchester City's best players this season.
"Roben's goal came very critically."
"Two to zero! Manchester City now has enough advantage."
"Ferguson looked disappointed by the conceded goal and he had reason to think so."
"If it was zero to one, back at Old Trafford, Manchester United still has a great chance, but now it is zero to two, which will put more pressure on Manchester United, wanting to score Manchester City at home at least Two balls, the difficulty is quite large."
...
Gao Shen shouted excitedly on the sidelines.
In the stands, the noise made by the fans completely drowned out his voice, but he was still venting.
Two to zero!
This score is very important to Manchester City.
Even, to some extent, this goal is tantamount to securing the victory.
As long as the team keeps this score and concentrates on the next game at Old Trafford, then advancing to the final will be a high probability event.
This made Gao Shen feel an unstoppable pride in his heart!
He has already led two teams, Real Madrid and Naples, to win the Champions League. If he can reach the final and win another Champions League, that will be three Champions Leagues. He will become the first of the current head coaches!
Even in the history of the Champions League, only Liverpool's legendary coach Paisley has won this honor.
But all three of his titles were won in one go by Liverpool at their peak.
And Gao Shen's two Champions Leagues are different teams. If they win this season, they will lead three different teams to win three Champions Leagues. This is unique in the history of the Champions League.
Thinking of this, Gao Shen suddenly became full of pride, walked straight to the sidelines, and signaled to the players to make persistent efforts.
"Keep attacking! I want to see your goals again!"
Gao Shen didn't even hide anything, and roared loudly on the sidelines.
Not to mention the nearby players, even Ferguson in front of the coaching bench of the visiting team next door could hear it clearly.
The old Scottish man turned his head and looked at Gao Shen in surprise, as if he was asking: Damn, you really think I'm dead, don't you?
Do you still want to drink happily?
...
The game restarts.
Many people thought that Manchester United would launch a wave of onslaught in the final stage of the game, trying to score a goal.
Ferguson did exactly that, he replaced Park Ji-sung with Nani.
But there was a scene that took everyone by surprise.
Manchester City, already leading by two goals, not only did not accept it as soon as it was good, but also launched a wave of fierce attacks on Manchester United.
Especially Gareth Bale on the left was even more active.
Manchester City is also very aware of Gareth Bell's fighting spirit and the Welshman's ability. They specifically hit his side when attacking and let Gareth Bell ravage Smalling.
The Welshman's speed and explosive power, even after more than 80 minutes, are still amazing.
Poor Smalling, who obviously came off the bench, should have had the advantage in physical fitness, but for some reason, he was ravaged by Gareth Bell and turned into a background board, and was swept away by the Welsh again and again.
In the 86th minute, with almost no other way, he drew a foul from behind and was shown a yellow card by the referee. At the same time, he also gave Manchester City a free kick.
Ferguson was furious on the sidelines and yelled at Smalling.
The unlucky England defender looked at Bell and then at Ferguson with resentment on his face, almost crying.
City's free-kick landed precisely at the front of the box, but Kompany's header bounced off the crossbar before David Luiz's shot inside the box was caught in Van der Sar's arms .
Then, just a few minutes, for the Manchester United players, it seemed to be extremely long.
Manchester City organized attack after attack.
What made Ferguson even more depressed was that Gao Shen didn't intend to make substitutions throughout the game.
It's outrageous!
It's really... outrageously home!
...
In the violent jump of Ferguson, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Two to zero, with the goals of Suarez and Robben, Manchester City defeated the visiting Manchester United and won the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
This is the first game of the Champions League semi-finals this season.
Tomorrow, in another semi-final, Napoli will face Barcelona at the San Paolo Stadium.
This will also be a focus battle that the whole world is watching.
After all, it was a repeat of the Champions League final two years ago.
Everyone also wants to see, after Gao Shen left the team and sold away many stars one after another, can Naples still give Barcelona a head-on blow like they did back then.
Gao Shen didn't pay attention to these things, he was completely overjoyed now.
A two-to-zero victory will be a very crucial boost for the second round.
Even Gao Shen is very confident that Manchester City has already grabbed the ticket to the final with one hand.
"We should be able to book a hotel near Wembley Stadium in advance!" Gao Shen turned around and said to his assistants with a smile.
The members of the coaching staff were also very excited and nodded.
"I will contact Arsenal's Arsene Wenger later, and then we will use Arsenal's Kearney training base to prepare for the game."
When he said this, Gao Shen laughed out loud.
If Wenger is willing to cooperate, he will announce directly before the second round that Ferguson will definitely vomit blood from anger.
Nima, the game is not over yet, do you know what respect is?
Two to zero at home, not only a two-goal advantage, but more importantly, Manchester United did not score an away goal.
If that score wasn't enough, it really wasn't.
Therefore, Gao Shen's optimism has been unanimously recognized by the coaching staff.
The second round must be played cautiously, but the situation is indeed quite favorable for Manchester City.
But if you want to contact Arsenal in advance, this is purely to disgust Ferguson.
Of course, this is still necessary to make it to the finals.
Regardless of whether it is Barcelona or Naples, they are also likely to go to London in advance to prepare for the game.
Based on the relationship between these two teams and Chelsea, it is estimated that they will not ask the Blues to borrow the Cobham training base.
In other words, if Manchester City took the first step and borrowed Arsenal's Kearney training base, no matter who reached the final, it would probably be enough.
This should also be regarded as a kind of psychological warfare.
Of course, there are many teams in London. If you really want to borrow, you can borrow any.
The biggest advantage of Arsenal's Kearney is that it is very close to Wembley Stadium, and the facilities are very advanced and complete, which is the most ideal choice.
The relationship between Manchester City and the Gunners is very good, and Gao Shen and Wenger are also very good.
After all, they all have a common enemy.
