Chapter 861 Neymar
"We are so lucky, right?!" Faria said in a daze.
If it wasn't a goal frame, in terms of data, Manchester United has now lost at least three goals, and they were all scored by Martial. This old Manchester United player is really too terrifying.
Faria didn't know much about Martial, after all, he was Manchester United who joined Mourinho, and soon Martial transferred to Paris Saint-Germain.
"These are those club celebrities in heaven to bless us." Mourinho joked.
"It must be!" Faria nodded with a very serious expression.
The just-passed 2020 was a sad year for Manchester United, with five celebrities leaving the world.
On February 17, Manchester United legendary goalkeeper Harry Greg passed away. This survivor who experienced the Munich air crash and is also an indispensable member of the Manchester United team rebuilt by Sir Busby. He has made more than 200 appearances for the Red Devils in his career. .
On June 8, the meritorious defender Tony Dunn, who played 535 times for Manchester United and helped the team win the first Champions League championship in 1968, died. He was the unsung hero who led the Red Devils to advance in the 1960s. One of the greatest full-backs in club history.
On October 30, Nobi Styles, the England World Cup champion and Manchester United legend, died of illness. He played for Manchester United from 1960 to 1971, and made 311 appearances. He was the main player of Manchester United's Champions League in 1968. He has won the British MBE Medal.

I don't know if it was affected by the neutral post not long after the start of the second half. The players of Paris Saint-Germain were obviously depressed and began to get a little confused on the offensive end, especially their number one star on the court. Shire, obviously not as active and excited as in the first half.
"Martial has obviously been affected by three consecutive shots, and he is a little lacking in confidence now," said Andy Gray. "Now Martial rarely shoots, and even if he has the chance to shoot, he will choose to pass. The ball is for Draxler or Icardi."
Paris Saint-Germain's offensive slowed down, but Manchester United's offensive started. They created two shots in less than ten minutes. Once, Bruno's long shot was saved by Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Navas, and once, Mbappe's inward shot slipped through.
This also shocked the Paris Saint-Germain fans in a cold sweat: Now, Manchester United only needs to score another goal, and Paris Saint-Germain will be eliminated.
With a 4-1 lead at home, Paris Saint-Germain is in danger of being reversed and turning around away again?
……………………
Why say again? That's because Paris Saint-Germain was reversed five years ago with a big score lead.
In the 2016-2017 Champions League quarterfinals, two strong teams, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, encountered each other. In the first leg, Paris Saint-Germain led by Emery formed a full-game suppression against Barcelona at home. Di Maria scored twice, Draxler and Cavani each scored a goal, and Paris swept Barcelona 4-0 at home.
Barcelona launched a Jedi counterattack at the Camp Nou Stadium in the second leg. Suarez headed the ball in just 150 seconds of the game, and Barcelona got a wonderful start of 1:0; in the 40th minute, Paris defender Kurzawa accidentally hit the ball. Dragon, Barcelona 2:0; in the 48th minute, Yoshi scored a penalty kick and the goalkeeper scored 3:4; in the 62nd minute, Cavani scored, Paris Saint-Germain led 5:3; in the 88th minute, Neymar's free kick was straight on the top left of the goal The dead end, Barcelona scored the total score at 4:5; in the 89th minute, Barcelona won another penalty kick, Neymar scored the penalty, and Barcelona equalized the total score 5:5, but at this time they were still at a disadvantage due to few away goals; at the critical moment Roberto scored a goal offside in the 95th minute, and Barcelona defeated Paris 6:1 and finally completed an incredible reversal with a total score of 6:5 and advanced to the quarterfinals.
In addition, as early as 2000-2001 season 20 years ago, Paris Saint-Germain had a record of losing streak while leading the score.
On March 7, 2001, in the second stage of the Champions League group stage, Super Laco played against Paris Saint-Germain at home. 55 minutes before the game, the Frenchman took a 3-0 lead with Okocha's goal and Leroy's score, but after that, La Coruña fought back, and Uruguayan scorer Pandiani, who came on as a substitute, scored a header. Tristan also scored a header, and La Coruña made a 4-3 comeback.
Now, Paris Saint-Germain seems to have the possibility of a major reversal for the third time.
……………………
At 71 minutes of the game, the score on the field was still 2:0, with Manchester United leading at home.
Not only that, Paris Saint-Germain, which took the initiative in the first half, had obviously less control over the game than before, and Manchester United even put continuous pressure on Paris Saint-Germain's goal.
This also made the PSG players start to get impatient.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Pochettino finally couldn't sit still. He made a substitution in the 72nd minute of the game. Martial, whose mood was obviously affected, was replaced, and Brazilian star Neymar came on the bench.
Almost at the same time, Mourinho also made a substitution, Gundogan was replaced, Greenwood came on as a substitute, Manchester United changed to 424, and Mourinho made his final desperate attempt.
"Both sides have made adjustments, Pochettino replaced Martial with Neymar. Manchester United's very fast young youth training player Greenwood also came on as a substitute. Obviously, Paris Saint-Germain wants to score a goal to stabilize the game. The situation and the lock-up advancement, and Manchester United only needs one goal to advance, which also gives them hope of a comeback. Both sides strengthen their offensive, which is really exciting! "Andy Grey said happily.
"It was originally a second leg game with no suspense, but it played the tension of the finals." Martin Taylor commented.
……………………
The broadcast footage gave Neymart a close-up. The Brazilian star who joined Paris Saint-Germain for a record price of 220 million euros in the summer of 2017, but his performance at Paris Saint-Germain was somewhat unsatisfactory.
Neymar, this name is simply a rock star in the football world. Back then, when he was in Barcelona, he was like a god descending to earth. The ball under his feet always seemed to resonate with the air, making his opponent at a loss. But who would have thought that after coming to Paris Saint-Germain, his story was quite ups and downs, and was even considered one of the biggest losses.
This deal is not only a huge feast for money, but also a carnival in the hearts of all Paris Saint-Germain fans. Everyone is looking forward to this Brazilian golden boy showing himself in Ligue 1 like he did in La Liga, leading Paris Saint-Germain, who has many stars and strong strength, to realize the glory of the Champions League they have always dreamed of.
Although Neymar started well in Paris Grand Paris, his injury made his time at the club frustrated.
Neymar missed the last 16 games of his first season in Paris Grande due to a metatarsal fracture, including the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid. Another foot injury also made him miss 16 consecutive games before the end of the 2018/2019 season, and during this period, Paris Saint-Germain was eliminated from the Champions League round of 16 again.
Last season and this season, Neymar had more health problems. Especially this season, Neymar has been injured and stopped and has missed 22 games in total.
Overall, when Neymar's four seasons in Paris Grande, he has missed 98 club games due to injuries. On average, he missed at least 20 games per season.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
And the number of times he can play has not exceeded 30 games in 4 seasons!
……………………
It can be said that Neymar has become the representative of the new glass man in the world football world.
Among the top superstars in the world today, Bruno and Ronaldo are undoubtedly like model workers. Except for the rest specially arranged by the head coach, they almost never miss the game.
Neymar is the other extreme, and his constant injury makes it difficult for him to play continuously.
Just before today, Neymar had just recovered from a five-week adductor pain.
Originally, Pochettino did not intend to let Neymar play today because Neymar did not fully recover. According to the doctor, Neymar would better have to rest for about a week for the sake of security.
However, now Paris Saint-Germain is forced into a desperate situation, and another superstar, Martial, has been tortured and mentally collapsed. Pochettino has to take the risk and let Neymar come back early.
However, it is undeniable that even Neymar, who is seriously ill with glass attributes, is still the extremely threatening Brazilian superstar when he is able to play.
……………………
Neymar got the ball on the left, and Kante was defending him.
The Brazilian knocked the football back and forth on his left and right feet, and then pushed it to Paredes very freely. He stepped forward and Paredes took the opportunity to pick it up and the football flew.
Select the pass!
Cancelo immediately went up to defend Neymar, and he was about to grab it while Neymar stopped the ball. But Neymar mentioned his left foot and did not mean to stop the ball, but let the football fly over his left foot.
Cancelo was a little confused, wondering what this meant: a mistake in stopping the ball?
Then he saw the whereabouts of the football. Neymar turned slightly, lifted his right foot, gently lifted his toes, and the football flew up again.
Then, Neymar followed Cancelo and turned around. He raised his right foot again, flipped the ball twice in the air, and after straightening the ball path, he directly shot the outside instep with one kick!
