Chapter 858: Competition Attitude
Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea quickly drove the ball, and he directly drove the ball to the frontcourt with a big foot. Near the midfield, Harry Kane headed the ball directly to the left. After Gundogan got the ball, he immediately started. accelerate.
"Counterattack! Manchester United's counterattack!"
Manchester United's counterattack is very simple and quick. This time, it did not advance through the midfield, but directly launched an attack with a long pass.
Gundogan drew the ball along the left road. After attracting Florentzi's robbery, he made a move to pass the football again to Luke Shaw who was inserted, but after a fake shot, he directly Pass the football horizontally.
Bruno got the ball in the middle, and he knocked the ball with his right foot, and turned around at the same time, and beautifully bypassed Gayer, who was a little inadequate.
"Beautiful! It's worthy of being the best player in the world today!" Andy Gray praised.
Paredes hurriedly came up to intercept.
Bruno's upper body swayed, and Paredes was tricked by tricking him into rushing. He himself poked the ball through Paredes's small goal.
Then, Bruno twisted his waist and plundered from Paredes. Then, facing the fiercely rushing forward Paris Saint-Germain right center defender Marginhos, he stabbed his toes again when he was almost in contact. The football passed through his wicket.
Almost at the same time, Bruno turned around in place, avoiding Marginhos, and was about to complete this man-goal score. In desperation, Marginhos could only reach out and pull Bruno down.
................
A huge boo sounded in the stands of the Millennium Stadium. The two thousand home team fans who entered the field to watch were enjoying Bruno's wonderful performance, but found that Bruno was pulled down by his opponent. They were excited and looked at Marginhos. The wonderful football vandalism is very dissatisfied.
Even the commentator of Paris Saint-Germain praised Bruno, saying: "Marquinos had to use a foul to stop Bruno's performance. The Portuguese's breakthrough just now is a visual enjoyment."
The whistle of referee Bruchy sounded, and he showed a yellow card to Marginhos, who was fouled in a tactical manner, and Manchester United received a free kick in the frontcourt.
Van Dijk and Maguire, who are good at heading, came up to participate in the free kick attack, and Kante stayed in the backcourt to make up for defense.
Bruno took the free kick into the penalty area. Although Paris Saint-Germain's left-back Kurzawa was not tall, he had a strong header ability. He rushed to the front of Van Dijk and pushed the ball out.
Paris Saint-Germain tried to launch a quick counterattack, and Jinpenbe passed the ball quickly to find Veratti. Gundogan, the closest to Veratti, came up to intercept. At this time, as long as the Italian midfielder split the football, Paris Saint-Germain's counterattack might be Can be done.
However, Verati sticks the ball, he just doesn't pass the ball. He pretends to try to shake Gundoan, but Gundoan is not fooled, and he uses this opportunity to post it...
The two of them tugged and moved forward in a tangled manner. Finally, the referee Bruce couldn't stand it anymore. The whistle sounded, and Gundoan made a foul, but he did not take out the card.
................
Mourinho applauded on the sidelines and was very satisfied with the team's performance on both offense and defense.
Bruno caused Marginho to eat the card, which made Mourinho feel unexpected.
Don’t underestimate this yellow card. The central defender bears a yellow card. This is equivalent to carrying a mine hazard, and may explode at some point.
Gundogan's active anti-attack and desperate attitude towards the game also satisfied Mourinho.
"Seeing Gundogan's desperate counterattack, he finally blocked Paris Saint-Germain's counterattack, I remembered that during the attack when Manchester United scored, Preston allowed the opponent's players to pass." Andy Grey said "Of course if Paredes went up to intercept and interfere, or even made a tactical foul, Manchester United wouldn't have that goal..."
"This team was built by Mourinho, and almost all the players were personally introduced or stayed in the team. In this Manchester United, the most impressive thing is the players' attitude towards the game! If Gundo just now Ann lets Veratti pass like Paredes, and I bet he will be scolded by coach Mourinho. "Martin Taylor added.
Andy Gray nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that. If Manchester United players are so lazy on the court, they will probably be replaced directly by Mourinho and then thrown into the cold palace!"
................
Paris Saint-Germain's previous goal was defeated by Manchester United, but this did not affect Paris Saint-Germain's established offensive tactics. They had strong confidence in their offense, and Paris Saint-Germain continued to put pressure on Manchester United's goal.
And if Gundogan hadn't fought hard against the attack, he would have been beaten by Paris Saint-Germain just now.
But Manchester United didn't seem to learn from their lessons. They did not shrink and defend, but continued to seize all possible offensive opportunities to push them out.
So in the subsequent live broadcast of the game, both sides seemed to be unprepared, and the offensive Mars shot everywhere. Commentators Martin Taylor and Andy Gray were very busy and excited.
"Martial drifted past Luke Shaw, beautiful... He suddenly became a penalty area! Shooting! Blocked by Maguire! It's so dangerous!"
"Paledes dribbles in the horizontal direction, beautiful, he and Draxler collided with each other and shot! He shot high!"
"Manchester United's counterattack! Mbappe dribbled sideways, Kurzawa is following him...foul! Manchester United got a free kick from the front of the penalty area. This position is very good, Bruno comes up to take the penalty...ah, what a pity, shaking it Fly out of the bottom line with the crossbar!”
pretty! pretty! Martial, he kept getting rid of Van Dijk and Luke Shaw in a tight space, turned around and shot! It also slightly off the goal! "The French commentator shook his head and shouted with regret.
................
It was already the 45th minute of the game, and the score on the field was still 1:0, and Manchester United led the visiting team Paris Saint-Germain at home.
Staff on the sidelines held up two minutes of stoppage time of injury in the first half, which aroused Mourinho's dissatisfaction.
Paris Saint-Germain obviously cannot accept the situation of falling behind with one goal in the half. They are siegeing Manchester United's goal in the last time. Mourinho is now really worried that his goal will fall in the last moment of the first half.
Martial got the ball in the frontcourt and Kante was defending him.
Martial pulled the ball with his left foot, leaned his body to the left, and made a move to break through from the left, attracting Kanter's defensive center of gravity, and suddenly started to speed up. He pulled the ball in the opposite direction, just as he was about to turn around and cut in. When Kanter was in a hurry, he reached out and pushed Martial.
He didn't expect this small move to stop Martial from moving forward. After all, the two have not only been teammates at Manchester United, but also teammates in the national team for many years. So Kanter is also very familiar with Martial and knows that this kid's skills are good , the speed was very fast. He just pushed this, just to interfere with Martial's forward speed as much as possible, which could make Martial stagger and his pace was unstable, but he didn't expect Martial to fall to the ground directly .
"Very smart!" Paris Saint-Germain's commentator praised, explaining to the audience why Martial did not continue to move forward. "The game was played to the last stage of the first half, and Martial's physical fitness reached its limit, although he could still Continue to sprint, but there is no guarantee that you will continue to break through continuously. Obtaining a free kick at this position is obviously more threatening than continuing to move forward. "
................
Kanter also understood why Martial fell to the ground, and he was anxious. The free kick in this position was really dangerous. Kanter spread his hands and showed an extremely unfair expression. He was signaling the referee that he had nothing to do. It was not done, it was the boy who fell down by himself, and he pretended to fall.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
Manchester United's defensive player Van Dijk also rushed up. He shouted at his former teammate Martial, who had expressed his appreciation and praise in an interview with the media: "Fake a fall! Bah!"
The other Paris Saint-Germain players naturally would not watch Martial suffer. They also surrounded them, and the players from both sides pulled and tugged together.
The referee's whistle rang out quickly, and then the players on both sides dispersed. They didn't want to cause trouble, they always had to have a way out.
However, the quarrel on the sidelines continued.
"That boy pretended to fall!" Mourinho shouted.
"Which eye did you see Anthony fake fall?" Pochettino retorted.
"I saw both eyes." Mourinho replied with confidence.
"You are shameless!" Pochettino was so angry that he could tell lies with his eyes open and he had such a calm and confident attitude. Pochettino saw it clearly, and Kante did push down Martial.
"Are you cursing in anger?" Mourinho looked indignant.
"How could Anthony have a former head coach like you?" Pochettino was so angry.
The media had reported a long time ago that although he had left Manchester United, Martial had a good impression of Mourinho, his former mentor. Even if the two no longer cooperated, they remained in touch in private.
"I only respect the facts." Mourinho said with a righteous look on his face.
................
Pochettino turned his back, he didn't want to talk to such a person.
"Bah! You're nothing to say!"
After saying that, Mourinho also walked back to his coaching seat, spread his hands to Faria and said, "That guy is in a disadvantage."
Faria looked serious and gave a thumbs up.
"Free kicks at this position are dangerous." Mourinho said to his assistant with a serious expression. "In this season's La Liga, Martial has had the experience of winning a direct free kick in a similar position."
"Just hold on to this last minute." Faria comforted Mourinho.
Mourinho lowered his head and sorted out his tie, all he thought.
On the other hand, Pochettino also said to his assistant: "This position is good, and Anthony has the opportunity to score directly."
