Chapter 71: Equaliser
Manchester United scored first and made PSG very passive, especially at this point in time, and with the second half heading into the game, United were likely to gain some advantage before the start of the second half.
The whole of Old Trafford cheered, and despite being a goal, United fans breathed a sigh of relief.
The opponent is Paris Saint-Germain, a super team recognized in Europe in recent years.
Manchester United, on the other hand, had the advantage at home and they immediately felt like the goddess of victory was beckoning to them.
After scoring the first goal, United began to defend across the board, making it difficult for PSG to find the back of the net in just a few minutes to equalise.
Even if it is Yile, he needs a certain amount of time to deploy the midfield.
Overall, time is too tight.
Time passed little by little, and after Neymar tried a long-range shot, the referee decisively blew the half-time whistle.
"It's fantastic, Manchester United took the lead in the first half and they have a good chance of shaking up the Paris Saint-Germain side and even knocking them out of the Champions League!" England commentator Gavin shouted excitedly.
Now that United are the first to score, and they have this home advantage, the odds are good.
On the pitch, there were smiles on the faces of the United players, who were clearly not expecting to take a goal lead in the first half.
The imaginary onslaught of Paris did not appear, which was good news for them.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was equally thrilled, high-fiveing every Manchester United player who came off the pitch.
He knew exactly what was in front of him now.
This is the Galaxy battleship that Paris Saint-Germain, which has been targeted by countless teams in recent years, but has not been able to overturn.
But now they have a good chance of winning a small game, after all, this is Old Trafford, this is the home of the Red Devils!
With a bit of luck, a draw at the Parc des Princes would have lifted PSG out of the Champions League and would have put him one step closer to becoming a manager.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a manager who has a knack for mobilizing the atmosphere and at half-time he encouraged every player, especially Pogba, who was a little overlooked.
Amid the encouragement, the morale of the Manchester United players was high.
Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, looked a little weird.
The atmosphere in the locker room was very relaxed, and there was no anxiety after falling behind, and Kimpember even told two meat jokes, which caused a lot of laughter.
Wag and Militão looked confused, they were two of them in a hurry.
The other players were relaxed, but the two rookies were in a hurry.
Guys, we're lagging behind!
This is Manchester United's home stadium, do you know what that means!
But the two little ones can only be in a hurry, with their status, even if they say it, no one will listen.
Looking at the nervous and anxious looks of the two little guys, Neymar couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yi Le and said with a smile: "The two of them are in a hurry!" ”
Yi Le didn't look up, he was still leaning over to sort out his socks, and said, "If you are behind, you will naturally be in a hurry!" ”
"So, it's going to be offensive in the second half?" Neymar asked, frowning slightly.
Yi Le patted the shin guards, straightened up, and the entire locker room was silent in an instant.
Everyone's eyes were on Yi Le, and even the captain Thiago was on him. Silva was silent either.
From this, you can see the status of Yile in the team.
"Guys, we're lagging behind!" Yi Le's words were flat, as if he were explaining someone else's business.
And the Parisian players also put away their playful expressions and looked at Yile seriously.
Yi Le nodded slightly, as if he was stating a fact.
"In the second half, we're going to score!"
In a nutshell, everyone knew how to play in the second half, and after the attrition of the first half, United were already in a passive state.
Don't look at Paris defending the whole time, but they have been luring the Manchester United players to keep running.
At this time, assistant coach Michel took out a form and said: "In the first half, Manchester United ran an average distance of 10 kilometers, which has reached the critical point of fitness. ”
After speaking, he smiled and said, "That's right, the second half is our time!" ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
And Boas smiled and said: "It seems that I don't need to say anything, in the second half we will play the attack, let them see how Paris plays!" ”
Roar!!
The players shouted in unison, and their morale was instantly high.
And in the corner, Wag and Militão were confused the whole time.
They couldn't understand what was going on, but they had an inexplicable feeling in their hearts that they could win this game!
They don't know where this confidence comes from, but it's very strong.
After winning the Champions League, Paris are no longer the team that lacks stamina, they have become resilient and will not lose their mentality because of setbacks.
They are very self-regulating, which allows Paris to exert a jaw-dropping energy when it matters most.
......
After the start of the second half, things were a little noticeably different.
The most conspicuous thing is undoubtedly that Paris has begun to take the initiative to attack.
In particular, Neymar and Di Maria's two wings have broken through several times, which has caused Manchester United to suffer a lot.
Manchester United are in pain, and they will need to juggle the middle when defending Neymar and Di Maria.
After all, there is also a Parisian killer there.
After the start of the second half, Yile has not been too expressive, nor too obsessed with sticking to the ball, but Rao is so, and Manchester United does not dare to take it lightly.
They know that Yi Le has the ability to tear apart Manchester United's defense in an instant, so many people focus on Yi Le.
There will always be omissions.
Too many people pay attention to the fate of Yile, Neymar and Di Maria, and they will lose a certain amount of vision.
And there, Mbappe is quietly hiding.
Overall, there were too many attacking points in Paris for United to defend at all.
And with the addition of pressing, United's passing has become even more difficult to maintain.
"Hell!"
After being cut off by Neymar, Pogba subconsciously cursed, and then frantically rushed to Neymar and slammed into it.
If Neymar had been in the past, he would definitely have a diving action to teach him to be a man, but now Neymar is an iron-headed baby, who carried this impact hard, and then cleverly picked the ball, and the ball was passed directly to Yile's feet.
Yi Le stopped the ball steadily, and when he landed, the entire Manchester United was like a big enemy, the defense line shrank wildly, and they looked at Yi Le with solemn faces.
However, Yi Le glanced up and then passed the ball to the left, as if he had no interest in breaking through.
The Manchester United players couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But in the next second, they suddenly woke up.
Left?
Di Maria!!
By the time the Manchester United players came to their senses, Di Maria had already broken to the bottom line, while Neymar, Yile and Mbappe were already in front of the goal, ready to fight for the top.
Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea shouted in horror: "Don't let him get up! ”
But he shouted a step too late, and Di Maria had already finished the process of getting up.
The ball was passed with a hint of curvature, which allowed the Parisian strikers to sprint unbridledly.
The three of them went straight into the opposition half, and the United backline was upset.
The ball flew to the back point, Neymar and Bailly were fighting, Neymar ran flexibly to the landing point, sat on the horse, stood on his heels, and gently pushed the ball.
The ball changed direction again and flew towards the middle spot.
And there, Yile... Rush over the top!
Yi Le's eyelids jumped, he looked at the ball that appeared behind him, almost subconsciously kicked his legs and jumped, using the strength of his waist, he forced himself to turn a corner in mid-air, and his left leg was fiercely picked up.
Standard upside-down golden hook!
Bang!!
The ball smashed like a cannonball into the opposition goal, and before De Gea could recover his senses, it slotted into the back of the net.
