Chapter 859: Re-Living (Happy New Year!)

After the two coaches exchanged sharp words, they returned to the coaching seats to discuss the free kick with their assistants. On the field, Martial was ready to take the free kick.

With the referee's whistle, Martial started to run up and kicked a high-quality free kick. The ball drew a beautiful arc, bypassed Manchester United's four-man wall, and then fell rapidly, heading straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

At the same time, De Gea also took off and stretched his arms as hard as he could. But judging from the flight path of the football, it was difficult for De Gea to catch the football.

If Paris Saint-Germain's ball went in, it would be almost impossible for Manchester United to complete the reversal!

Mourinho was a little afraid to look. At this moment, he heard a muffled "bang". He was even frightened and trembled. He turned his head subconsciously and saw that in his own penalty area, Dutch central defender Van Dijk almost desperately blocked Draxler's supplementary shot with his chest, and then Maguire kicked the ball to the front court.

"Crossbar! Crossbar again! Oh my god!" Martin Taylor's exclamation was transmitted to thousands of households through the live broadcast of the TV. "Martial's free kick went over the wall, and the goalkeeper was powerless, but the crossbar prevented the goal. This was the second time Martial hit the goal frame in the first half of the game today..."

"No... From the slow-motion replay, De Gea's fingertips touched the ball, which caused the flight path of the football to change a little, and then hit the crossbar!"

"This is a world-class save! De Gea once again showed the world his strength as a world-class goalkeeper!"

………………

In the slow-motion replay, De Gea, who flew up, did not completely save the football, but he stretched his arms hard and still touched the football a little, which caused a very small change in the flight path of the football.

This change is very small, and it is even difficult to detect if it is not for the slow-motion replay. But it is precisely this small change in trajectory that makes the football no longer go straight to the dead corner, but hit the intersection of the crossbar and the column, and then bounce back into the field.

The closest to the ball was Paris Saint-Germain winger Draxler. He took another shot, but Van Dijk blocked the hole, and then Maguire cleared the ball again.

In the slow motion, Martial, who won the European Golden Boy Award at Manchester United six years ago, held his head in his hands, looking as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

Although Manchester United is where he became famous, and although he is grateful to Manchester United, when they met again on the court, he still went all out, and then he had a hat trick at home in the first round.

However, today at the home of his old club, in this stadium that was not Manchester United's home when he played for Manchester United, his luck seemed very bad, and the entrance of the stadium repeatedly blocked his shots that were bound to win.

Other Paris Saint-Germain players were also stunned, stunned by Martial's bad luck.

In the first half of the game, he hit the door frame twice, and it was a player who hit the door frame twice. Can you believe it?

………………

When the Paris Saint-Germain players couldn't believe it, the game didn't actually stop.

Just now, Maguire's hasty and blind clearance turned into a wonderful pass, flying to Rashford at the front of the penalty area.

While the PSG attacking players were still shocked by Martial's bad luck hitting the door frame to score twice, Rashford stopped the ball with his chest and then launched a long pass attack.

At the same time, Bruno, Gundogan, Mbappe and Harry Kane shot at the same time, rushing towards the goal of PSG like a 100-meter sprint.

At this moment, in the backcourt of PSG, there are two central defenders Marquinhos and Kimpembe, as well as the team's midfielder Gueye. In the midfield, the full-back Florenzi is rushing up to intercept.

Manchester United has Bruno, Gundogan, Mbappe and Harry Kane attacking, which is a four-on-four situation.

Such a situation made the goalkeeper Navas of Paris Saint-Germain scream in horror: "Return to defense!"

Rashford's pass was for Bruno. The Manchester United captain stopped the ball with his chest and pushed the ball forward. When he was close to Florenzi, he suddenly poked the ball with his toes. The ball rolled past Florenzi's side, and he himself turned sideways and broke through from the other side.

The ball was separated from the man!

Florenzi rushed too hard and he couldn't brake in time, but he knew that he couldn't let Bruno break through, so he immediately reached out and grabbed Bruno's jersey.

Tactical foul!

The referee Brüch was ready to blow the whistle for this foul, and then he saw that Bruno passed the ball first under the pull.

The German referee immediately ran and gestured: the attacking side has an advantage, continue the game!

………………

It was Gundogan who received the pass from Bruno, and Bruno's pass was very exquisite, giving him a good space to receive the ball.

Gundogan received the ball without much pressure, knocked the ball forward, and then dribbled forward at high speed.

"Stop him!" Kimpembe shouted loudly, and Gaye rushed forward immediately.

Kimpembe also pressed forward, protecting Gaye from behind, and if Gaye was broken through, he would immediately go up to fill the position.

Just as Gaye rushed forward, Gundogan suddenly passed the ball. He did not pass it to Harry Kane, who was closest to him, but directly passed it diagonally to Mbappe on the right.

Seeing Mbappe getting the ball, Kimpenbe shouted at Marginhos in the penalty area, signaling him to come out to fill the spot, and he himself rushed towards Mbappe.

Mbappe cut inward directly horizontally, and when approaching the top of the penalty area, he swung his right foot and made a move to shoot.

Jin Pengbei dared not neglect. Although he knew that this might be a fake move, as a defender, he had no choice but to rush up and block the shot.

This is indeed a fake move. Mbappe dunks the football back and then pushes it directly to find Harry Kane in front.

Harry Kane got the ball, and Marginhos immediately went up to intercept, oppressing the Manchester United forward and blocking the opponent's shooting angle.

Unexpectedly, Harry Kane did not intend to shoot. He did not let the football stay at his feet, but immediately pushed the football diagonally.

Gundogan rushed up, seemingly preparing to catch the ball, but he missed the ball and let the football roll over from him.

"Leak the ball!"

"Breakthrough!"

……………………

When Manchester United launched this counterattack, Paris Saint-Germain's defensive attention was attracted by four offensive players including Bruno, but did not notice that Luke Shaw had been in the high speed on the left side.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Luke Shaw came out from Gundogan's left side to catch up with the football. There was no defensive player beside him, and he decisively cut inside into the penalty area.

Marginhos hurriedly left Harry Kane and rushed towards Luke Shaw.

Manchester United left-back did not give Marginhos a close chance, and he swept the ball directly to the goal.

Gundogan appeared in the middle, aiming in the direction of the goal and rubbed his shot.

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Navas flew to pounce, and his left hand touched the football and the football bounced up. Then before the Paris Saint-Germain fans cheered, they saw a figure flying high at the back point, facing the football in the air, heading the ball directly.

"Head! Resume shot! Beautiful - the ball has been scored! Harry Kane! Manchester United scored again, Harry Kane scored twice! As the first half approached the end of the game, Harry Kane made Manchester United's goal for him The score was rewritten to 2:0!” Martin Taylor shouted excitedly.

"2:0! The total score is 3:4! Manchester United narrowed the gap in the score to only one goal away! According to the current situation, they only need to score another goal to turn the tables!"

"Oh my God, no one could have thought of this situation, no one expected Manchester United to have a chance to turn the tables, but that's the fact! Manchester United 2:0 Paris Saint-Germain, they are only one goal behind!"

……………………

At this moment, the Millennium Stadium was like an erupting active volcano. The home team fans jumped up, raised their arms high, celebrating wildly, and shouting wildly.

The shouts of two thousand people actually generated tens of thousands of people's voices, almost shaking the huge thousand-year-old stadium!

In fact, at this moment, in Manchester, in England, and even around the world, countless Manchester United fans made the same cheering and celebrating actions.

Harry Kane, who scored the goal, flew to the goal net with football. He wanted to get up, but because he was too excited, such a simple move actually rolled and crawled several times before getting up.

Then the England striker started running. He was so excited that he rushed away the interception between Bruno and Luke Shaw. He rushed to the stands and shook his arms hard in the stands, then was also excited. The teammates fell to the ground.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLL!!!"

The live broadcast of Millennium Stadium sent out hysterical shouts, and in the stands were Manchester United fans who were so excited that they were celebrating crazy on the stadium.

At the far end, in the home team's coach's seat, the Manchester United head coach, who was already gray in his temples, sprinted, ran, jumped up, and raised his arms.

Not far away, in the visiting coach's seat, Paris Saint-Germain's head coach Pochettino stood up, his expression was serious and silent.

……………………

Half a minute later, referee Bruchy blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

The cheers and celebrations of two thousand Manchester United fans in the stands did not stop because of the whistle, and they were very excited.

Leading Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 at halftime was something they never dared to dream of.

The first leg was defeated 1:4 at Princes Park Stadium. The whole world said that Manchester United was finished. Manchester United's dream of winning four consecutive Champions League titles was shattered in the quarterfinals.

And in the past two weeks, Manchester United's sluggish performance in several games seems to have confirmed this conclusion.

However, after the first half of this world-renowned game, some things have quietly changed. Manchester United, who was sentenced to death, came back to life!

Happy New Year, all book friends!
