Chapter 885 Yellow Card
Sun Wu knew that words alone were useless, and he was prepared to use practical actions to prove his determination.
In the 56th minute, Mkhitaryan played a clever combination with Aubameyang in the middle and then crossed the ball. Royce got the ball in the right rib. Herrera, Rojo and Luke Shaw were all trembling.
But Royce suddenly sent a back pass, and Shaheen, who inserted in the back row, took the ball unmarked.
Shaheen has too many choices. He can pass the ball into the penalty area to Aubameyang who is eager to try, send it to the wing to Schmelzer who has already inserted at high speed, or directly pick it up and pass it to Royce who reverses into the penalty area. You can even take a long shot.
But he didn't do anything. Sun Wu came with a sliding shovel and knocked Shaheen over with a fierce flying shovel.
"Beep!" The referee showed Sun Wu a yellow card. The home fans in the stands were scolding Sun Wu crazily. Everyone knows how important Shaheen is to Dortmund.
Sun Wu ignored the yellow card and ran towards Herrera. It was his slowness that allowed Royce to catch the ball, but he did not dare to pounce on it, allowing Royce to find Shaheen.
Obviously, Herrera, who has already received a yellow card, is afraid of missing the Champions League final because of the red card.
Sun Wu looked to the sidelines, Fletcher should be allowed to play... Pochettino also discovered the problem and had already asked Fletcher to warm up.
"Guys, don't be afraid of fouls, don't be afraid of injuries!" Sun Wu in the wall whispered: "The more you are afraid of something, the more likely it will happen... Think about it, Klose is not afraid of missing the only one in his life. Champions League final!”
Klose, who was also standing in the wall, nodded in agreement. He had only played for a few minutes and had already received a yellow card for knocking down the forward Bender.
Fletcher on the sidelines has already put on his jersey, and Jesus is explaining the tactical details...
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded and Royce started to run.
The human wall composed of Sun Wu, Klose, Januzaj, and Griezmann jumped on the spot.
But Royce stopped and Shaheen, who was standing by the ball, suddenly waved his left foot. The ball rubbed Sun Wu's scalp and almost crossed the wall!
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
German commentator Adam Simpson shouted: "Best's free kick was discussed before the game.
But Shaheen gave a perfect counterattack with this free kick! "
"This is the goal that breaks the deadlock and is probably the key goal that knocks Manchester United out of the competition!"
Shaheen ran for most of the stadium and rushed all the way to the south stand to celebrate wildly, while Sun Wu turned to look at the expressions of his teammates... Well, there is no need to talk nonsense now. If the score is maintained, Dortmund will eliminate Manchester United on away goals. .
Sun Wu first sent Herrera to complete the substitution, and then gathered all his teammates.
"Everyone should have the same idea now." Sun Wu glanced at Schneiderlin, the coach's confidant, "press high and be more aggressive. If you have a yellow card, I will worry about it. I will expand the running range."
"When Klose pulls out, Griezmann, please pay attention to inserting into the penalty area. Don't let Hummels drive you all out. His defensive area is not small. Try to keep him in the penalty area."
"Januzai, go to the right and break through when you have the chance. I will be inside you. Coleman, go deeper."
"Darren." Sun Wu patted Fletcher who had just ran over on the shoulder, "You are best at inserting in the back row. I will pay attention to your running position."
Dortmund's celebration over there ended quickly, and they were even back in position, but Manchester United was not over yet.
"Bah bang bang." Sun Wu clapped vigorously, "Don't be nervous, it's just a Champions League final...Fletcher has played in it...how many times?"
Fletcher walked away with an expressionless face... He had never played once. In 2008, Hargreaves started, and in 2009, he was red carded and suspended.
After the game restarted, Dortmund still pressed hard in an attempt to score another goal, while Manchester United pressed frantically in the midfield and backcourt to quickly push the front line forward, and then began to press high up the pitch without stopping.
Sun Wu's range of activities has obviously expanded a lot. He constantly appears in every corner of the midfield and frontcourt, organically connecting his teammates with running positions, passing and receiving.
Dortmund immediately changed their tactics. Shaheen and Bender retreated significantly, and the two full-backs also retreated. However, Aubameyang and Royce went to find loopholes on Manchester United's two wings.
The game looked good, but the competition also became fierce.
Schneiderlin and Fletcher repeatedly attacked Mkhitaryan and Shaheen, but Sun Wu would receive special attention from the Dortmund players in the defensive zone no matter where he appeared. Pulling clothes and shoulders was not considered a foul. Sun Wu Wu was even slapped out of the corner of his eye by Subotic, grinning in pain.
In the 59th minute, Griezmann made a clever breakthrough in the left rib and drew across the middle. Klose's shot was blocked by Subotic. Sun Wu made a move on the right side of the penalty area and directly volleyed the shot, but he raised his right His foot suddenly dropped and he stepped on the ball behind him.
"Volley... oh oh, heel... Januzaj!"
Januzaj, who appeared on the line of the penalty area, got the ball comfortably and even had time to adjust, before Bender blocked the ball and curled the ball into the far corner.
"What a pity!" Zhan Jun couldn't help complaining: "At least seven or eight meters away from the goal!"
Januzaj's shot was completely out of standard. He didn't cover the ball at all. It was high and wide. The startled Weidenfeller even whistled.
In the 63rd minute, Bender stole the ball in the backcourt. Schmelzer took the ball and passed it straight to Royce from the left, but Royce was blocked. However, Shaheen, who followed up, immediately curled the ball with his left foot and found the right wing to cut in. Aubameyang.
Although Rojo was not slow, Meiyangyang used a wonderful change of rhythm to stagger him and fall. In the end, Fletcher, who returned to defense at high speed, reached out and pulled Aubameyang down.
"Another yellow card." Adam Simpson laughed: "This rule of UEFA is not necessarily a good thing. There is likely to be a lot of yellow cards in this game."
Shaheen took another free kick, but failed to go over the wall. Griezmann tried to break through and launch a counterattack, but Durm also ended Manchester United's counterattack with a yellow card.
Schmelzer, Shaheen, Mkhitaryan, Kyle, Durm, Subotic, Dortmund paid the price of six yellow cards, but Kyle has been replaced.
As for Manchester United, including Herrera, Sun Wu, Klose, and Fletcher who have already left the game, they have a total of four yellow cards.
It is worth noting that none of the 10 yellow cards received by both sides was a flagrant foul. Every foul occurred at a critical moment and in a critical place.
However, next, Sun Wu began to feel "uncomfortable".
Including the more "familiar" Shaheen, Bender, Hummels, Subotic, and Schmelzer, as well as the unfamiliar Durm, Mkhitaryan, and Reus, almost every Dortmund player will be there. After making physical contact with him, he started to talk.
Either a vicious curse, a standard swear word, or a provocation...
Everyone at Manchester United knows what Dortmund wants to do. If there is a fuss, Sun Wu will get a yellow card, and Dortmund is willing to pay any price as long as Sun Wu ends up in the same way.
Rojo had a head-to-head fight with Hummels over this, and both received yellow cards.
Well, the referee has already shown twelve yellow cards. This statistic is really scary...
Sun Wu has always remained calm, and the outside world thinks that he is a person who can cause trouble, but in fact, every time he makes trouble... it is profitable.
He ran towards Pochettino on the sidelines.
