Chapter 1015 The Overall Situation Has Been Decided
Hoeness in the stands has no hope. Although he only needs to score one goal to equalize the total score, even if the total score is a draw after scoring two goals, he can advance with the advantage of more away goals.
Rummenigge was staring at the court attentively, and it seemed that he was still looking forward to it. Hoeness curled his lips slightly. He knew very well what the Chinese player would do.
In Hoeness' view, Best's best skill is beating up drowned dogs.
Facts have proved that Hoeness may be the person who knows Sun Wu best in football.
When the game restarted, Manchester United pressed heavily and pressed high again, causing chaos in Bayern's defense, which was already at a loss.
In the 42nd minute, Salah dribbled the ball in the frontcourt and was intercepted, but the Egyptians actively counterattacked to get the ball again, and at the same time made Hummels who stole the ball out of position.
Sun Wu seized this opportunity to press forward with the ball, his eyes aimed at the gap behind Hummels, and Milner was cutting in at high speed.
But the next moment, Sun Wu sent a precise cross with his right foot.
"Best takes the ball, oh, and makes a direct pass."
"Harry Kane, Mane nodded the ball in behind"
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooa"
"Manchester United scored two goals in three minutes, 3-1, 3-1, Bayern's defense was vulnerable"
Rummenigge hit his right fist hard on his left palm and lost the ball again, while Hoeness next to him was stunned. During Sun Wu's years in the Bundesliga, he had seen these scenes so many times that he became numb.
Heynckes was also quite numb. He stood on the sidelines and watched the Manchester United players celebrate wantonly. He could not find any reason for this conceded goal.
Although it was an accident that Salah counterattacked the ball after Hummels intercepted it, and it was a mistake, in fact there was no obvious loophole in Bayern's defense.
Suppressed by Manchester United's crazy attack, Bayern's backcourt formation was compressed very flat. After Hummels lost his position, Javi Martinez had already returned to fill the position. Ronaldo, Thiago and Thomas Muller outside the penalty area It also leaves Bayern with no shortage of defensive manpower.
The problem was that after Hummels lost his position, Sun Wu did not pass the ball immediately but rushed forward with the ball. This made Javi Martinez feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
It also allowed Boateng, the most important defender in the penalty area, to move laterally, because Harvey Martinez was almost broken into the penalty area by Sun Wu before.
It was at this time that Sun Wu, who was originally preparing to attack Javi Martinez, discovered Boateng's movement from the "God's perspective", and he immediately changed his mind and sent a cross.
Boateng took off temporarily, but the ball flew high over his head. Mane sprinted diagonally and jumped very, very high, almost two heads higher than Ram who took off on the same spot. The Senegalese winger even had time to adjust in the air. He adjusted his posture and headed the ball in the opposite direction of Neuer.
3 to 1, this score is enough for Manchester United to advance. It is difficult to imagine Bayern scoring two goals without conceding a goal.
However, Manchester United's defense today made Sun Wu worried. He did not want to test the endurance of his heart.
So, three minutes later, the live camera captured Hoeness finally unable to bear it and exiting early.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Thiago accurately predicted and intercepted Milner's pass to Sun Wu. Then he accelerated with the ball to break out of the encirclement of Sun Wu and Salah.
But Pavar kept the ball with a beautiful tackle. Sun Wu originally wanted to send a long horizontal pass to Mane, but suddenly Lewandowski poked his foot behind him.
The ball bounced off Ronaldo's calf. Salah made a diagonal stab and stole the ball. Before Javi Martinez could rush to block it, the Egyptian striker took a direct kick 28 meters away from the goal. shoot.
To be fair, Salah's shot was not of high quality, but there were only two minutes of stoppage time in the first half, so he wanted to complete the shot as soon as possible.
There is a saying that when your feet are hot, no matter how hard you hit them, there will be no problem.
Today's Manchester United has a bit of this flavor
The flying height of the ball was not high, and Boateng reflexively stretched his legs to block it, but the ball happened to be blocked on the shoulders of Javi Martinez outside the penalty area. Who made this Spanish midfielder so high?
So today, Harry Kane scored twice. He originally crossed diagonally to the right side of the penalty area to receive Salah's direct pass. Unexpectedly, the Egyptian shot directly.
Harry Kane, who didn't stop, had no one around him because he was in an offside position.
But the ball bounced off Javi Martinez, and Harry Kane easily sent the ball into the goal after receiving the helpless own goal assist from the opponent.
"4-1, it was 4-1 in the first half," Zhan Jun shouted: "Manchester United will advance to the Champions League semi-finals for two consecutive years."
"Sun Wu is really Bayern's nemesis." Zhang Lu praised: "Except for Amin Fei who played 3 to 3 and the first round to 2 to 2, he won all the other games, and most of the games were big wins. The score is swept, I’m afraid today”
"Look at Hoeness leaving the game early, hahaha"
"There is basically no suspense about Manchester United's promotion. Now it depends on whether Bayern can save any face in the second half."
During the halftime break, Sun Wu did not make any adjustments and asked the players to keep up their efforts in the second half. It would be best if they could score double-digit goals.
In the second half, Bayern replaced the poor Javi Martinez with Bastian Schweinsteiger, and Thiago began to attack aggressively due to his position.
The only pure center back in Manchester United's defense is Rojo, and he often plays left back in the national team. Although Pavard and Lucas are outstanding, they lack experience in the center back position. For a time, Manchester United was trapped in a dead end. Bayern suppressed.
In the 58th minute, Thiago and Thomas Muller cooperated on the right rib and sent a through ball. Ram made a pass from the bottom.
Although Lewandowski's header missed the target, Pavard made a hasty clearance and kicked the ball away. The Polish center took the lead and scored a goal.
Just when Rummenigge felt there was still hope in the stands, Sun Wu ran to the sidelines to make adjustments.
"Manchester United has made a substitution." Mortensen squinted his eyes to look carefully. "Michael Keane replaced Lucas. Best is going to change the formation."
This is a key to Manchester United's repeated advantage in key matches this season, 343, 541, 4231, 4213. The changes in various formations are very natural and smooth.
Everyone in the industry recognizes Sun Wu's coaching ability. On the one hand, it is his ability to adjust on the spot, and on the other hand, his tactical level. Not to mention other things, the formation switch between three central defenders and four defenders in this kind of game is really not the best. Anyone can play it.
After Michael Keane came on the court, he formed a central defender partnership with Rojo, Pavard and Luke Shaw played as left and right full-backs, Milner and Kante formed a double midfielder, and in front were Sun Wu, Salah, Mane and Harry Kane. Attack combination.
However, after the formation change, Sun Wu did not direct Manchester United to press forward. He even insisted not to press forward after Michael Keane made a passing error due to nervousness after coming on.
Heynckes sighed and sat back on the coaching bench. Of course he could see clearly and thought clearly that Best was fishing.
But the score of 2 to 4 forced Bayern to press forward. If they could quickly score a goal to close the point difference to one goal, then retreat across the board, and then counterattack to equalize the total score in the last ten minutes, then Bayern could use the away game to equalize the total score. The advantage of scoring more goals eliminated Manchester United.
However, Heynckes knows very well that this chance is illusory, and even this is the bait released by Sun Wu. Regardless of whether Bayern can score another goal, even if it can draw 3 to 4, can Bayern withstand Manchester United's counterattack next?
In the last ten minutes of the first half, Bayern retreated from all fronts. As a result, Manchester United won three games in a row.
In the 66th minute, Heynckes' heart finally fell to the ground.
Thiago lost the ball in the frontcourt, and Sun Wu deliberately moved to the side to divert Schweinsteiger's attention. Milner took the ball in the middle and stuffed it in front of Mane on the other side.
Mane used a wonderful pick ball to pass Boateng, who was coming from the flying tackle, and the next thing was simple.
Mane, Harry Kane, and Salah all fired three arrows. Apart from Neuer, Bayern only had Hummels and Alaba to defend in place.
3 against 2.
Mane did not take credit but sent a cross. Harry Kane walked into the penalty area and faced Neuer and then passed the cross. Salah easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.
5 to 2, the overall situation is decided.
Flags were flying in the stands at Old Trafford Stadium, and cheers were thundering. Ferguson and Sandoku who were watching the game were all smiling.
