Chapter 717: Depressed Ten Hag

Mahrez got the ball on the right and tried to break through Tagliafico, but the Argentine left-back did not give him a chance. Tagliafico, who had settled down, also had excellent one-on-one defensive ability.

Mahrez was not sure and could only protect the ball and pass it back.

Cancelo quickly moved forward and entered the 30-meter area. After receiving the ball, he glanced at the penalty area and saw Harry Kane raising his hand to ask for the ball in the penalty area.

The English center forward had already got stuck in position, and Cancelo chose a 45-degree cross without hesitation and sent the ball directly into the penalty area.

The biggest difference between the bottom cross and the 45-degree cross is that the ball sent out by the former is generally headed towards the goal by the offensive player, which is more threatening, and this is what all defensive players dare not take lightly.

But the 45-degree cross is generally taken with the back facing the goal, and it is difficult to create a threat directly, and a transition is required.

De Ligt blocked Harry Kane behind him, not giving the opponent any chance to turn around, while Blind was looking for the second landing point.

Bruno also rushed from the left rib to the left side of the penalty area, and De Jong and Van der Beck followed him all the way.

Harry Kane had no other choice. Ajax almost blocked all the ball outlets around him. The English center forward could only head the ball out of the penalty area and planned to knock it back to Kante who was inserted later.

But at this time, Schone took the lead in controlling the second landing point and intercepted the ball before everyone else.

………………

When he saw Schone grab the second landing point, Bruno rushed towards Schone as soon as possible.

Kante has been a partner with Bruno since Udinese. The two are very familiar with each other. At this moment, they are also in sync, and he is closer to Schone and rushed forward directly.

Harry Kane headed the ball back and Schone grabbed the landing point, but he was not a pure defensive player. He did not think about clearing the ball when he received it, but tried to stop the ball and pass it out.

But at this time, Kante took the lead and came behind him. When Schone stopped the ball, he kicked decisively.

As soon as the football reached Schone's feet, Kante kicked it away and rolled towards the penalty area.

Bruno originally rushed towards Schone, and he planned to entangle the opponent after the ball stopped, but he didn't expect Kante to be one step faster, and Bruno immediately changed his strategy.

Just then, Kante poked the ball into the penalty area. Bruno reacted quickly, took the lead, stretched out his left foot, and intercepted the ball poked by Kante.

At this time, there were people everywhere near the penalty area of ​​​​Ajax, Schone, De Jong, Van der Beck, Blind, Harry Kane, De Ligt, Kante...

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. When the Ajax defenders reacted, Bruno had already taken the lead to intercept the ball, and at this time, he was facing the right. Behind him was De Jong, on the right were Schone and Kante, on the left were Blind, Harry Kane and De Ligt, and in front...

There were not many people in front, whether it was Tagliafico or Feltman, there was a little distance!

There is a chance!

………………

Bruno made the most appropriate decision almost immediately, all thanks to his unremitting training in the systematic training ground in the past few years, and his persistent review and analysis of the pros and cons of all the games.

This has almost become a kind of instinct for Bruno to play football.

As soon as the football was intercepted, Bruno suddenly started and dribbled the ball horizontally to the right.

Harry Kane's reaction was not slow either. He immediately blocked De Ligt, who was the first to bear the brunt, with his body, so that the Ajax captain could not rush to Bruno in the first time, disrupting Ajax's defensive formation.

When Bruno rushed out of the arc with the ball, he saw a route to the goal. He almost didn't hesitate at all and swung his right foot directly!

"Schoene got the second spot, but Kante poked the ball away."

"Bruno got the ball, took a step to the right, and shot directly!!!!!"

"The ball went in!!!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

...

………………

Bruno's right-foot shot deliberately hit a rebound ball. Although Onana flew to make a save, he didn't expect the ball to rebound in front of the goal. In the end, the Ajax goalkeeper was still powerless and could only watch the ball go into the net.

1:1!

In the 85th minute, Manchester United equalized the score!

After Bruno shot the ball, he slid to the ground, but quickly got up and ran out of the stadium to the corner stand where Manchester United fans were.

Along the way, he kept cheering and shouting, venting his excitement.

In the nearly 90-minute game, he seized this one opportunity. How could he not be excited? How could he not be excited?

Bruno rushed to the corner area, slid to his knees under the stands, and clenched his fists towards the fans in the stands.

Manchester United players also rushed up from behind frantically, hugging Bruno excitedly.

………………

In front of the home team's coaching bench, Mourinho jumped up excitedly, yelled several times in succession, turned around and hugged Faria and others, celebrating the goal, and the coaches and players in the coaching and substitute benches also rushed out of their seats to celebrate.

This goal is too precious!

Although this was just a goal to tie the score, it was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Manchester United, who had been behind for almost the entire game.

After Manchester City broke their 84-game unbeaten home record, Manchester United was tied by Chelsea at home. If they lose at home again today, it will definitely be a big blow to Manchester United players.

This season's Ajax is very evil. They always perform well away from home in the Champions League. During the group stage, they tied Bayern Munich and Benfica away, defeated AEK Athens, and won 4:1 away from Real Madrid in the round of 16. In the quarterfinals, they beat Juventus 2:1 away, which can be called the away dragon in this season's Champions League.

Ajax is also the only two teams that have remained unbeaten in the Champions League so far this season, and the other one happens to be Manchester United.

………………

"Bruno performed poorly in this game. Ten Hag used Van der Beck and De Jong to restrict him, which prevented him from getting too many good opportunities in the game. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Bruno stepped forward again!"

"Strictly speaking, this was not a good opportunity, and it can even be said that this should not be considered an opportunity. Kante poked away Schone's ball, and Bruno's sudden reaction to intercept was very fast. Then he made a very wise choice, dribbling the ball directly to the right. Neither Tagliafico nor Feltman could intercept it in the first time."

"It was precisely this little time difference, maybe only one second, that Bruno decisively kicked."

"It was a very wonderful shot, and also a very critical shot!"

"This should be considered one of Bruno's few opportunities to kick in this game, but he showed his superb efficiency, and he equalized the score for Manchester United with one shot, and also kept the hope of reaching the final!"

The Millennium Stadium also fell into madness, everyone was cheering Bruno's name, and more than 70,000 Manchester United fans made a huge wave of voices.

At this moment, countless Manchester United fans sitting in front of the TV in more than 100 countries around the world are cheering for Bruno's goal and watching Bruno and his teammates celebrating the goal on the sidelines.

Ajax is the away dragon in the Champions League this season, but Manchester United's away record is even better, because they have maintained a perfect record in the previous five away games, including a 3:1 victory over Barcelona.

With such an away performance, Manchester United fans are confident that the team can achieve a comeback on the road.

………………

Ten Hag is helpless, he has done the best he can.

In the Europa League final two years ago, Ajax, led by him, had almost no power to fight back against Manchester United and lost 0:4. But today, his team is leading Manchester United for almost the entire game. Whether it is defending Manchester United's attack or the targeted defense against Bruno, he has done his best.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the game, his team was still scored by Bruno!

Just one chance, just one chance!

The Dutchman wanted to curse, but he couldn't, because he didn't know who to curse.

Schone? Yes, if he hadn't stuck to the ball, Kante wouldn't have poked it away, and there wouldn't have been this goal later.

But can he curse? Tonight was the best game for Schone, and he had almost no loopholes throughout the game.

At that time, there were so many people near the front of the Ajax penalty area, but for various reasons, no one could stop Bruno, giving him the opportunity to shoot.

That time, he caught it and scored!

This is the role of superstars. At the critical moment, they can make the final decision!

"F**K! F**K..." Ten Hag cursed angrily and walked back to the guest coach's bench.

………………

However, what made Ten Hag want to vomit blood even more came in the injury time.

Manchester United, who equalized the score, boosted their morale and began to besiege Ajax. Ajax even found it difficult to get the ball out of the defensive third zone.

Manchester United's offensive, like a tide, hit Ajax's defense again and again.

In the third minute of injury time, Bruno made a cross from the left, De Ligt headed the ball away, and Mahrez followed up with a long shot from 25 meters away, which penetrated Onana's goal again.

2:1, Manchester United reversed the score!

Looking at the crazy celebration of Manchester United, Ten Hag felt a little dizzy.

His team persisted throughout the game, but with less than 30 seconds left, when the 3 minutes of injury time were about to end, his team fell behind in the score!

What a fucking shit!
