Chapter 857 A Dream Start

"Beautiful! Gundogan successfully intercepted the ball!"

Gundogan directly cushioned the ball and then dribbled forward.

Paredes came up to interfere with Gundogan, but the latter passed the ball before getting close to Paredes.

Bruno received the ball, the Manchester United captain beautifully paused the ball, then pulled the ball and turned around, sending the ball to the left side. There, Rashford was already inserting at high speed.

Florenzi did not blindly steal the ball. He signaled Gaye to interfere with Rashford, and he himself stared at Luke Shaw who was inserting at high speed.

In the first round of the match, Florenzi knew that this Englishman, who was known as the world's number one left back, was very fast.

Sure enough, when Rashford saw Gaye coming to press, he pushed the ball out, and the target was Luke Shaw who was inserting at high speed from his side.

"Sure enough!" Florenzi thought to himself, and then pressed forward, ready to force Luke Shaw.

However, the experienced Italian veteran did not attack too aggressively, as he was still quite afraid of Luke Shaw's speed and skills.

Luke Shaw rushed straight to Florenzi with the ball.

"I've been waiting for this moment!"

Just before the two people were about to touch, Florenzi kicked out suddenly.

However, Luke Shaw did not intend to pass the opponent. He suddenly stopped and dribbled the ball!

Florenzi was prepared for this and moved sideways to block, but he did not wait for Luke Shaw's next breakthrough. Luke Shaw knocked the ball back to Rashford who came to meet him.

The latter did not let the ball stay under his feet, but directly made a diagonal long pass. The ball went directly from the side close to the left to the right side, where Mbappe was.

………………

"Precise pass! Rashford!" Martin Taylor shouted.

Mbappe was very fast. He caught up with the ball, and then faced Kurzawa who rushed over, and he dribbled the ball under his feet.

Kurzawa is experienced. He immediately changed his action and poked the ball with his foot.

Before Kurzawa could be happy, Mbappe reacted quickly and touched the ball with his right foot. The ball was hooked back by him.

However, after such a delay, Kurzawa moved his steps again and blocked Mbappe's way forward.

"Beautiful! In front of the experienced Kurzawa, Mbappe is still very immature."

Before the commentator of Paris Saint-Germain finished speaking, Mbappe buckled the ball to his left foot with his right foot, held Kurzawa with his body, and swept the ball into the penalty area with his left foot.

In the penalty area, Paris Saint-Germain central defender Kimpembe held Harry Kane, not giving the opponent a chance to shoot.

At this time, a figure in a red jersey appeared on the ball's route and directly swept the ball back diagonally - the target was the top of the penalty area.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Gueye fell to the ground and slid, trying to clear the ball. But before his feet touched the ball, a figure rushed up and volleyed the ball with great force. The ball suddenly flew up and rushed straight to the goal.

Navas, the goalkeeper of Paris Saint-Germain, rushed out of the door and tried to kick the ball out.

He successfully hit the ball, and the ball bounced to one side, and landed right in front of Harry Kane and Kimpembe.

Both of them were stunned, and then they were about to make a move at the same time, but Harry Kane, who was stronger, reacted faster. He stuck out his buttocks and blocked Kimpembe's outstretched leg with his buttocks, and then he swept his right foot with great force, and the ball suddenly bounced up and rushed into the net, rolling up the snow-white net high!

………………

The penalty area was very chaotic and it was not very clear. The Millennium Stadium was silent for a moment, and then the two thousand home team fans who entered the stadium to watch the game saw the trembling of the net and the football in the net.

Boom!

The whole stadium was like a volcanic eruption!

In the second round of the 2020-2021 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United played against Paris Saint-Germain at home. One minute and thirty-three seconds into the game, the home team Manchester United attacked for the first time, and Manchester United shooter Harry Kane scored in front of the goal.

Manchester United 1:0 Paris Saint-Germain!

They made a dream start that no one expected. Now, the total score of the two rounds is 2:4, and Manchester United is two goals behind.

Because the epidemic has not been significantly improved, the Millennium Stadium currently only allows about two thousand Manchester United fans to enter the stadium to watch the game.

This obviously cannot meet the requirements of too many fans, so most Manchester United fans can only watch the game at home and in the bar.

"Volley! Beautiful! Harry Kane! The ball is in! He opened the record for Manchester United! 1:0, Manchester United got a dream start at home!"

The excited voice of commentator Martin Taylor came from the hanging TV, which aroused huge cheers in the whole bar.

"Well done! Kane!"

"Good job!"

"Cheers to the goal!"

...

The fans were so excited that the golden beer spilled out as they clinked their glasses, and everyone screamed.

………………

In the stadium, Manchester United's players were celebrating the goal excitedly. They surrounded Harry Kane who scored the goal and threw him to the ground, extremely happy.

On the sidelines, their head coach rushed out of the coaching booth and raised his arms vigorously to vent his excitement.

The referee intervened and finally stopped the extremely excited celebration of Manchester United's players.

The players of Paris Saint-Germain had already placed the football at the midpoint, and were getting a little impatient.

Although the goal was lost early, and it could even be said to be very unexpected, the players of Paris Saint-Germain did not care too much. They just felt a little surprised that Manchester United would celebrate like Christmas just to score a goal against Paris Saint-Germain.

The TV broadcast camera followed Harry Kane who scored the goal, and the commentator was also praising the scorer: "Harry Kane! When he faced Paris Saint-Germain away, he scored at the Parc des Princes, and now he scored another goal against Paris Saint-Germain at home! Scoring against Paris Saint-Germain in both home and away games, even in the European arena, few people can do it!"

………………

The game resumed, and Paris Saint-Germain kicked off.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

The game started less than two minutes before the ball was lost, which was beyond Pochettino's expectations. It seemed that the opponent was unwilling to surrender at home, and it was going to struggle.

However, Pochettino didn't care too much. After all, this is normal. No team will give up hope at the beginning of the game, not to mention that the opponent is the top giant Manchester United.

But in any case, the final victory will belong to Paris Saint-Germain, because his team is very strong, and because his team also attaches great importance to the game, and is not complacent because of the big win in the first round.

Sure enough, Paris Saint-Germain quickly stabilized its position and began to counterattack, intending to suppress Manchester United's offense with offense.

However, facing the waves of offensives from Paris Saint-Germain, although Manchester United also strengthened its defense, this was not the kind of shrinking defense that gave up the offense.

On the contrary, Manchester United's formation pressed forward, and they started fighting with Paris Saint-Germain in the midfield. Not only that, they always kept Bruno and Harry Kane as two counterattack points in the frontcourt. Once they had the opportunity to move the ball forward, they would press forward without hesitation.

Manchester United's tactics were not conservative, but very aggressive. At least compared with the first round at the Parc des Princes, Manchester United today showed a strong desire to attack.

And Paris Saint-Germain raised the banner of attack, so in the eyes of the audience, the first half of this game can be said to be wonderful.

………………

In the 15th minute of the game, Paredes sent a straight pass, Draxler sent a lateral pass after going down the wing, Icardi held Van Dijk and pushed the ball along.

Martial, who followed up, was about to complete the shot, and a red figure rushed in front of him and shot directly, and the ball flew high to the stands.

"Oh, oh, oh - Verratti, his shot missed."

"This shooting opportunity, Verratti should have given it to Martial, he is in a better position." The commentator of Paris Saint-Germain shook his head regretfully.

But it was just a pity, and he didn't care too much about missing this scoring opportunity. With the offensive strength of Paris Saint-Germain, scoring is not a problem.

Mourinho waved nervously on the sidelines, and then he silently gave Verratti a thumbs up. The Italian helped Manchester United complete a beautiful defensive clearance.

Five minutes later, Paris Saint-Germain's attack came back.

Gaye sent the ball to the front court, and Florenzi assisted in the middle, and he passed the ball to Martial.

Martial controlled his rhythm, deliberately slowed down, attracted Kante to defend, and then took advantage of the moment when Kante came up, suddenly dribbled the ball and accelerated to get rid of it!

………………

Kante obviously didn't expect Martial to move so fast and accelerate so quickly. He was caught off guard and turned hastily, but his feet slipped and fell to the ground!

"Martial! Beautiful breakthrough!" The commentator of Paris Saint-Germain shouted, "Another one!"

Martial changed direction while dribbling at high speed, passed Luke Shaw again, and then cut in horizontally.

"Shoot!"

The French golden boy made an arc with his left foot and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea did not react to the ball at all. Just when the PSG players were ready to cheer for the goal, they heard a crisp "bang" and the football hit the crossbar hard...

"What a pity! Martial's shot hit the crossbar." Andy Gray said regretfully, "This is Martial, the greatest treasure of Paris Saint-Germain. Manchester United can't stop him at all. It's a pity that they are not lucky enough."

Paris Saint-Germain was still regretting that the shot hit the crossbar. Icardi gave Martial a thumbs up, and Draxler also ran to Martial and said with a smile: "It was only one centimeter away. Just one centimeter lower."

No one even noticed that Manchester United had started to counterattack.
