Chapter 862 Save (Happy New Year Everyone!)
The football suddenly flew up, drew a beautiful arc, and flew straight towards Manchester United's goal, but Cancelo had not yet reacted!
Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea flew to pounce, and his fingertips touched the football, but it still failed to stop the football from continuing to fly forward.
At this moment, De Gea was on the verge of despair.
As soon as this goal was scored, Paris Saint-Germain also scored a away goal. If Manchester United wants to equalize the score, they must score two more goals, which is too difficult.
Then, De Gea heard a dull sound of "wa".
This muffled sound was simply a sound of nature in the ears of the desperate Manchester United people.
Paris Saint-Germain, including Neymar, is ready to celebrate the goal, but the crisp sound is like a heavy hammer hitting their hearts.
The smile that Neymar just appeared on his face also solidified. He looked at the football that bounced on the crossbar and was then cleared by Maguire's big feet, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Pochettino had already stood up on the sidelines and accurately celebrated the goal. The crisp sound directly pressed Pochettino on the seat again.
The depressed head coach of Paris Saint-Germain looked at his assistant, who also smiled bitterly and shook his head, and he was fucking the door frame. It was so weird today!
……………………
Mourinho touched his heart. His heartbeat just now, and he almost thought that the ball had entered and Manchester United was finished.
"It seems that we are really lucky today." Mourinho, who was still in shock, squeezed out a smile and said.
He was really scared.
At the same time, Mourinho has to admit that Neymar's personal skills are indeed strong, and it can even be said to be stronger than Bruno and Ronaldo whom he coached.
In Mourinho's view, Bruno and Ronaldo, two Portuguese compatriots, are actually not the kind of talented technical players. Their current status is more due to their own efforts.
Of course, this does not mean that Bruno and Ronaldo are not talented. Their talents are also among the top ones, but the main manifestation of their talents is not in terms of technology, but in terms of physical fitness.
Both Bruno and Ronaldo have the best injury resistance, which makes them almost impossible to get injured. In addition, they have almost infinite physical fitness, which allows them to play games almost endlessly and maintain good game condition.
Of course, the two of them have very strong spiritual attributes, which allows them to maintain strong fighting spirit under any circumstances. Even if the team is in a desperate situation, they can still lead the team forward.
The negative example in this aspect is Martial, who was just replaced in the opponent's team.
Mourinho actually admires Martial's football talent very much, but it was Martial's worse mental attribute that made him finally give up Martial in the summer of 2016 and agreed to his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
In Mourinho's view, Martial is an extremely emotional player. When he was in a happy mood, he was like a god descending to earth, and could do everything. But once he is unhappy, it will be difficult for you to expect him to perform well.
However, professional football is a highly competitive sport, and there are often uncontrollable and even very cruel situations. At this time, a big heart is needed to face it, but Martial obviously cannot do this.
……………………
"Fourth!" Andy Gray shouted, "After Martial was replaced, Neymar, who was replaced, also hit the goal frame. Manchester United's goal today is their twelfth man, which has been blocked in the first and second half. Paris Saint-Germain scored four goals! It's incredible!"
Andy Gray said, shaking his head, not knowing whether he should say Paris Saint-Germain is too bad or Manchester United is too good.
"Nemar! He showed us his elf-like football talent, but it was a pity that his shot was also blocked by the goal frame."
……………………
After Neymar came on the court, Paris Saint-Germain's attack began to improve again.
In the 81st minute of the game, Neymar broke through Cancelo in a row, and then he passed the ball into the penalty area, and Icardi's header was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Manchester United escaped again.
Although they did not score, they created excellent scoring opportunities in succession, which still improved the morale of Paris Saint-Germain, and they also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Manchester United's goal.
Pochettino paced around the sidelines, a little impatient.
Mourinho stood on the sidelines, his hands in his pockets, and his expression was extremely serious.
Cancelo pressed Neymar close to him, but the Brazilian flexibly pushed the football to the left and pulled it back, and he casually avoided Cancelo's stretched over his feet.
However, Neymar was unable to continue moving forward either. He was entangled by Cancelo, who grabbed his jersey with his left hand. Neymar reached out and hit him, and Cancelo's right hand also came up. The two then fell to the ground together.
The whistle of referee Bruch sounded. He verbally warned Cancelo, which caused strong dissatisfaction from Paris Saint-Germain, who believed Cancelo should receive a yellow card.
Pochettino protested loudly on the sidelines, and the fourth official had to come and warn the Paris Saint-Germain coach to ask him to be more at peace, otherwise the referee would come over and talk to him.
"Please calm down, Mr. Pochettino, you have to believe the referee's penalty." The fourth official said to Pochettino.
……………………
Paris Saint-Germain's free kick.
Neymar's free kick from the opening game reached the penalty area, and Icardi wanted to squeeze out Van Dijk to complete the header, but the experienced Dutch central defender was very smart and stood in advance. At the same time, he stuck his butt, and Icardi was pushed to the center of gravity. Unstable, no successful jump.
Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea made a blow and hit the ball with one punch, but he did not hit the ball out of the dangerous zone.
Gaye headed the football to Neymar, who was about to complete the stop-off shot. A red figure rushed up and it was Bruno, who directly knocked Neymar to stagger.
And taking this opportunity, Mbappe quickly opened the football.
Manchester United is about to launch a counterattack, and the referee Brucht's whistle sounded. He awarded Bruno a foul for a foul and gave Paris Saint-Germain a free kick opportunity.
This time, it was Mourinho's turn to be strongly dissatisfied and he protested strongly on the sidelines.
The fourth official threw Pochettino down and came to stop the emotional Manchester United coach.
"Bruno foul! Paris Saint-Germain now has a direct free kick about 26 meters away from the goal. This may be Paris Saint-Germain's chance!"
Neymar's free kick passed the wall and almost crossed the baseline against the post, which once again shocked Manchester United's sweat.
At the same time, the staff held up an electronic signboard for two minutes of injury time throughout the game.
Mourinho expressed his dissatisfaction again, thinking that two minutes of stoppage time were too little.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"Yes, it's better to keep stoppage time like when Ferguson was doing, and you scored the goal in stoppage time." Pochettino had long seen this guy feel unhappy and said sarcastically.
……………………
The score on the field remains at 2:0, with a total score of 3:4, and Manchester United only needs one goal to advance.
Manchester United is completely unwilling to worry about defense at this time, and it can be said that it is coming out in full swing.
For Manchester United, 2:0 and 2:1 are the same, they are both eliminated, and they can only attack at this time.
What if you score a goal?
In the first minute of injury time, Manchester United's gambling offense finally exposed their defense loopholes.
Manchester United won a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, including two centre-backs, Van Dijk and Maguire, with as many as eight Manchester United players squeezed into Paris Saint-Germain's penalty area.
"This may be Manchester United's last offensive opportunity."
Because it was too far away from the goal, Bruno did not choose to shoot directly, but passed the ball into the penalty area. Harry Kane's header was firmly held by goalkeeper Navas, and Paris Saint-Germain launched a fast counterattack.
"This is Paris Saint-Germain's counterattack opportunity!" Andy Gray shouted, "Four-to-two! Paris Saint-Germain's goal opportunity!"
At this moment, in Manchester United's backcourt, there were only two Manchester United players, Bruno, who had just finished the free kick, and Kanter, who was left behind.
Draxler dribbled the ball and rushed forward at high speed, and Kant went up to defend him.
Before getting close, Draxler passed the football out, and Icardi took over Bruno and took the opportunity to pass the football to Neymar.
"It's a one-on-one!"
Neymar, who received the ball, dribbled forward and went straight into the penalty area.
Mourinho's face turned pale, and he felt confused and panicked. He had done everything he could, but could he still not turn the tables?
……………………
Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea abandoned the goal and attacked.
Neymar made a move to pass it to Veratti who came to pick him up, tricking De Gea into falling to the ground to save, and then he pulled the football back, and then, facing the huge empty goal, the Brazilian pushed it lightly.
"Empty goal-Nemar! Shoot!"
"It's over! It's all over!" Paris Saint-Germain's narrator shouted loudly with relief.
Neymar has turned around, spread his arms, ready to celebrate the goal.
His teammates are also running towards him, preparing to celebrate the goal.
Once this ball is scored, it will completely kill the game!
Then the Paris Saint-Germain's commentator's eyes widened because he saw a red figure chasing back desperately. While seeing Neymar's shot, he fell to the ground and slid the shovel and threw his body out !
"Oh my goodness! Bruno!" shouted Martin Taylor.
Everyone saw that Manchester United No. 8, wearing the captain's armband, swept the football to the ball outward before it almost crossed the goal line.
The football was hooked back from the goal line by Bruno's foot, landed near the small penalty area line, and bounced a few times on the ground, and finally stopped in the small penalty area line under the influence of gravity.
