Chapter 1152 A Fatal Blow
The expressions of the fans were even worse. They were all stunned, as if they had been stabbed. As Lineker said just now, it was the worst situation of the year, and the only mistake Ferguson made was in this game.
Of course, this is hindsight. If Manchester United had not conceded these three goals in a row, the ending would not have been like this, but it is so magical now. They were chased by Sevilla for three goals in a row.
This draw is too depressing and useless! This is not in line with Manchester United's style.
They thought of Dong Fangzhuo again.
Without the king and the helmsman, everything became panicky.
Many people are looking at Manchester United's bench. There are many stars on Manchester United's bench, but to find a star who can turn the tide? That's not the case. Ferguson doesn't need a midfielder or a defender now, but needs scorers, but all the scorers have been used up!
"Maybe we should replace Lingard? This guy's spirituality may help Manchester United."
Lineker suggested.
But Ferguson had no such idea. Instead, when Sevilla was celebrating, he called Valencia and Ashley Young over. Ferguson excitedly waved his arms in front of them and said exaggeratedly. What are you talking about? They should be asking them to attack. The two full-backs can actually play as wingers. They were originally born as midfielders and wingers, so there is no problem at all, but now they are more needed to attack.
There is no offensive player on the bench to replace, so these two guys can only press forward.
Beep——
The decisive battle in the last ten minutes! Both sides have reached a life-or-death stage. No one was even sitting on the benches of both sides. They all stood up to watch the game. No one could sit still, including Dong Fangzhuo. He felt like a fish on the chopping board. His fate could only be left to his teammates. .
It was already obvious to Manchester United that Valencia and Ashley Young pressed forward from the two wings, basically just two central defenders trailing behind. Although he was in a bad situation, an angry Ferguson still chose to attack instead of being conservative and dragging the game into overtime.
If he shrinks because of this, Ferguson will not be Ferguson, and Manchester United will not be Manchester United!
Di Maria took the ball on the left and pushed forward at high speed. Ashley Young quickly intervened behind him, and it was about to form a two-on-one situation. Vitolo in the middle rushed over and tackled Di Maria with a flying shovel. Maria was defeated, and Vitolo also received a yellow card.
Sevilla's defense is very resolute!
"It's a pity that King Dong is no longer here. The free kick at this position is very good, alas..."
People miss Dong Fangzhuo infinitely.
Five meters outside the left side of the penalty area, if Dong Fangzhuo comes to play, there is indeed a high probability of scoring a goal, but he is on the bench. As a result, Di Maria is standing in front of the ball. This position is not suitable for him to play. , so it should be a matter of tactical coordination.
But for Sevilla goalkeeper Beto, it doesn't matter who is standing here, the pressure is much less than before, as long as Dong Fangzhuo is not standing in front of him.
beep,
With the wall surging, Di Maria kicked the ball, but the result was beyond Beto's expectation. Even with his left foot, Di Maria chose to shoot! His shot went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
very brave.
Phew, the ball flew out across the lintel and almost went in!
"This, this, this..." The Sevilla fans in the stands almost had a heart attack. If Di Maria killed him at this time, it would be too painful, but the goddess of luck still stood by Sevilla. Leah's side.
After the ball was re-opened, Sevilla obviously began to slow down and finally equalized the score. They became more cautious. It seemed that Emery was very satisfied with the score and they could accept it even in overtime.
But not Manchester United! Ferguson was still waving his arms on the sidelines, signaling his disciples to press on, press on, press on again! Sevilla kept retreating, but after two fast defenders Ashley Young and Valencia pressed forward,
Their defensive pressure was too much and they constantly fouled to stop Manchester United's attack.
In the 89th minute, Manchester United once again got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, but this time it was changed to the right. It was still Di Maria who took the free kick.
"Without Wang Dong, free kicks are a waste... If he was still on the court, would Sevilla still dare to commit such a foul? So anyone can be substituted, but Wang Dong should not be replaced. Ferguson is doing it to himself. Looking for trouble."
Standing in front of the ball, Di Maria took several breaths of air to calm down, and stared at the goal behind the wall with his eyes. He also wants to be a hero. If Dong Fangzhuo is not here, he, Manchester United's second superstar, should stand up and solve the problem.
boom--
His left foot hit the upper right corner of the goal!
An expected shot. As a left-footed player, this is the best shooting angle.
Just like the previous shot, the ball almost missed the angle between the crossbar and the post and flew out of the baseline.
"Ouch~"
"Ouch~"
"I can't stand it! It's just a little bit worse!"
"Di Maria has no chance of scoring goals. Both shots were just a hair's breadth away."
"If you lower the ball a little lower, the ball will go in. If it was Dong, the ball would definitely hit the goal frame."
Sevilla once again dodged a bullet.
When stoppage time came, the sign with the flag raised by the fourth official showed that it was only 2 minutes of overtime. It looked like it was really going to enter overtime.
Both Ferguson and Emery have returned to the coaching bench and are beginning to study overtime.
Sevilla goalkeeper Beto slowly picked up the ball from the side of the court and was not in a hurry to kick the ball out. He even tried two consecutive runs but failed to kick the ball out. At this time, he delayed the ball if he could.
The referee came over to him and showed him a yellow card. His delaying behavior was so obvious that even the fans in the stands couldn't stand it anymore and immediately gave him huge boos.
As a result, Beto's big-footed ball was blocked by Rojo in the backcourt. Rojo immediately distributed the ball to the right wing. After Valencia got the ball, he played a one-two with Mata and continued to insert at high speed!
boom--
Banega's figure hit him sideways, Valencia was knocked away, and his whole body hit the billboard heavily.
Banega received a yellow card and Manchester United's attack came to an abrupt end.
When the ball was kicked out again, regular time was over!
Overtime!
"Shit!"
"The Sevilla people are so abominable. In the end, all the time was spent committing fouls."
"They succeeded, but don't forget that there is overtime. Can they continue to play like this? I don't believe it!"
Players from both sides dragged their tired bodies off the court. The battle will continue. This is not the end. The more painful overtime is coming.
When Mata returned to the side of the court, he suddenly fell to the ground and sat down. He kept screaming and had cramps!
Dong Fangzhuo immediately rushed forward to help him, and Lingard also ran over to help, but he was quickly sent away by Ferguson. Ferguson wanted to use up the third substitution, and he was the only candidate.
Taking advantage of the break, Dong Fangzhuo went to talk to Mbappe.
"Killian,"
"The opponent has no physical strength. This should be your biggest advantage now. You are a supercar now, and they have turned into a classic car. You have to play more resolutely, and be calmer when you get the ball. In half a second, you will know How should we kill them?"
“Opportunities will keep coming!”
"You have to stay focused!"
"You get to decide the game!"
Dong Fangzhuo's pat on the shoulder inspired Mbappe.
Mbappe showed a determined look. Nothing is more inspiring than the encouragement of an idol.
There was only five minutes of rest time. After both sides took a short break, overtime came.
Manchester United replaced Mata, and the young Lingard came on the scene, while Sevilla had already used up three substitutions, and there was nothing left to replace.
Beep——
Manchester United took the lead to take the ball, but Sevilla still retreated into the backcourt. They seemed to be playing defensive counterattack.
Soon they committed another foul. Immobile knocked down Schneiderlin and also received a yellow card. Still using foul tactics to stop Manchester United's fast break.
Without Dong Fangzhuo, their fouls were really outrageous. When Dong Fangzhuo was here, how could they dare to foul casually!
The game was played intermittently, and Manchester United's offensive rhythm was not as fierce as before. After all, their physical energy was also being consumed crazily. Both sides were about the same, and stability was the priority in the end.
In the 98th minute, Bastian Schweinsteiger made a long pass from the left and tried to find Lingard. However, Lingard's small body could not compete with his opponent and he did not even touch the ball. He had speed but no body. Ah, the other party is just trying to gain experience.
Minutes later, Mbappe in the middle also got a chance. Fellaini gave the header to Mbappe in the middle. For the first time, Mbappe did not use his speed to directly attack the opponent, but chose to get stuck in his position, and The ball was given to Di Maria on the left. Di Maria hit the goal with his left foot from the corner of the penalty area, but the ball still went slightly wide.
At this time, Di Maria's combat effectiveness also dropped a lot. He no longer had the lightning speed before, his speed dropped a lot, and he also deformed when he shot.
Both sides are actually at the end of their game, but Manchester United still takes the initiative.
The first half of overtime came to an end quickly. Manchester United was still trying to attack. Ashley Young inserted from the left and received Di Maria's diagonal pass. Then Ashley Young immediately took the ball. Crossing the ball into the Sevilla penalty area, Mbappe quickly shook off the Sevilla defender and rushed to the left side of the penalty area to volley with his left foot! But Beto's position was very reasonable, and he fell directly and suppressed the ball in his arms.
At the end of the first half of overtime, the score was still 4:4, unchanged.
There was no rest in between, the two sides were directly exchanging halves!
"Will it be a draw?"
"If it's a draw, the two sides will have a penalty shootout. In the 15 minutes of the second half, I guess Ferguson won't dare to attack too much."
"This game is really tiring, especially for Manchester United. They just finished playing the Community Shield with Chelsea and then faced Sevilla in the European competition."
Ferguson wants to attack, but the players may not be able to execute the tactics to the end. Everyone's steps are getting heavier and heavier, except for the players who come off the bench.
Lingard worked very hard, but he didn't have many opportunities to get the ball on the right wing. Manchester United's offensive rhythm has obviously slowed down, and they are more concerned about the defense in the backcourt. It's not a particularly good opportunity, and all the offensive forces invested are... not enough. However, Lingard did not give up. Ferguson asked him to come up to increase his vitality in the game.
In the 108th minute, Lingard almost missed the opportunity. Facing Banega head-on, Lingard made a decisive tackle. Unfortunately, after intercepting the ball, he was still a little anxious and wanted to pass the ball directly to Mbappe. , but the intention was too obvious, and the ball was intercepted by a Sevilla player. However, Sevilla did not attack and continued to advance slowly, which also gave Manchester United enough time to organize its defense.
The two sides continued to be in a stalemate, with only a few minutes left before the end of overtime, and no one could do anything to the other. And Sevilla has not even had a shot in overtime.
The rhythm is getting slower and slower, and both sides seem unwilling to attack. They both want to delay the time and then have a penalty shootout...
"According to this rhythm, it will be a penalty shootout. The two sides seem to have a tacit understanding now."
However, in the 118th minute, it was Lingard again. Lingard rushed from the right to the center and pounced on Colon Deli like a ghost. However, Colon Deli still passed the ball out and was not intercepted by Lingard. , but when the ball he passed flew towards Banega, Bastian Schweinsteiger intercepted the ball before Banega!
This may be Schweinsteiger's brightest moment in the game, a through ball passed to the feet of Di Maria on the left!
Di Maria cut directly into the middle and passed Mariano, but he was tripped by another player on the left side of the penalty area. Cork's foul was determined.
beep,
Manchester United won another set piece in the frontcourt!
22 meters from the goal.
"This is another good opportunity,"
"It's Di Maria who will take the penalty in person. "
"Can Di Maria seize the third chance?"
With less than two minutes left before the end of the game, Manchester United pressed almost all the way, while Sevilla pulled back. Beto in front of the goal felt unprecedented pressure. The closer it gets to the last moment, the more stressful it becomes.
Di Maria hesitated in front of the ball for a long time, and finally rushed towards the ball.
boom--
Or just knock on the door! But it hit the wall. His shot did not penetrate the wall. The ball bounced back. Di Maria followed up again and shot again!
boom--
This time it finally broke through the wall, and the ball ran towards the lower right side of the goal. However, Beto in front of the goal was also very focused. He finally pushed the ball, but it still didn't go in.
However, Mbappe was rushing forward at high speed at this time, and there was no one around him! Small angle supplementary shot!
Snapped--
The ball finally flew into the goal.
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"Youth is the greatest asset! Mbappe! When he started, no one had time to keep up with him. The goal was scored too easily."
"At the last moment, Mbappe was still staring at his prey like a cheetah. He succeeded. He gave the enemy the most fatal blow at the weakest moment."
"Now, Manchester United is going to win the championship!"
