As things stand, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for Sevilla, as anyone with a discerning eye can see that Manchester United's players are suffering from a serious fitness crisis. Although the United players looked to be on the back of the game as the 80 minutes approached, as the saying goes, they can't wear a strong crossbow at the end, and they are just a flashback, and as long as the game continues, their fitness will soon be truly depleted.

In fact, even before the game began, Emery had already predicted the various situations that might come his way, and made specific arrangements, such as extra-time or penalty shoot-outs.

Sevilla FC were on the offensive for half an hour in the second half and they were also in a fitness crisis. However, unlike the Manchester United players, they are far from being exhausted, and as long as they survive this time, their fitness will recover.

Therefore, at this time, choosing to delay is undoubtedly the most beneficial for Sevilla, not only to drag away the physical strength that Manchester United players have finally recovered, but also to allow their own players to get through the physical crisis during this time.

Once extra time goes into extra-time, that's when Sevilla really have the upper hand.

Even if the game goes to penalties, Sevilla are certainly better prepared and have a good chance of winning.

The Manchester United players are also aware of their situation, and they must attack at this time, otherwise when they recover so much energy, and when the game goes into extra time, then they really have no power to fight back.

That's why the Manchester United players are so excited about Sevilla's delaying tactics.

………………

In the 78th minute of the game, Manchester United stole Sevilla's attack at the back and then launched a quick counterattack.

Wayne Rooney dribbled forward in the middle, and Rashford, Lingard, Herrera and Depay quickly stepped forward on both sides of Rooney at the same time, pulling space, and for a while, the Sevilla defense was in chaos.

However, Rooney's fitness was a bit poor and he couldn't run after dribbling past halfway and had to give the ball to Depay, who was closer to him on the left.

Depay dribbles the ball well and has just been on the pitch for a short time, with better fitness than Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard, and better dribbling skills than Herrera, which is a reasonable pass.

Rooney meant to let Depay receive the ball and attack the Sevilla defense from the left, but he didn't expect Depay's thoughts, after the Dutchman received the ball, there was no intention of attacking at all, but moved to the right side in a large area.

Depay's move wasn't a mistake either, as United had more players on the right, with Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Valencia all coming up.

However, Depay's shifting footwork was not so good, and his long ball was high and floating, which naturally slowed down, giving the Sevilla player time to react and break Jesse Lingard off the touchline before he could get the ball.

Although Manchester United won the ball on the sideline in front, they could not play a quick counterattack, Sevilla had already stood up in the defensive line, and Manchester United could only be caught in a positional battle.

………………

Valencia flicked the touchline ball to Marcus Rashford, who dribbled down the middle, but was blocked by a three-man Sevilla man, who had to pass the ball back to Herrera and then headed down the middle to distract Sevilla's defence.

Herrera received the ball and distributed it to Valencia on the right. Valencia was stuck by Banega, and he also had physical problems, so he couldn't turn around and take it forward, and he couldn't pass the ball to Lingard in front, so he had to pass it back to Rooney, who was pulled to the right side.

Wayne Rooney immediately sent a through ball to Lingard in front.

Lingard made a sharp stop to change direction, shook off Escudero, and then crossed with his feet. However, Rashford, who was in the middle, was lonely, and under the opponent's four-man package, he did not grab the ball at all.

Fortunately, the ball cleared by Cariko was picked up by Smalling, who was pressed to the front, and Manchester United organized an attack again.

Carrick split the ball down the right and Valencia received it before passing it again to Marcus Rashford, who had pulled him out of the box.

Marcus Rashford had just received the ball when two Sevilla defenders were drawn up behind him, and he couldn't turn around and had to pass the ball to Wayne Rooney on the right again.

Rooney's two crosses in a row were blocked by the Sevilla player, and on the third low cross, Escudero blocked the bottom line.

………………

In the 80th minute, Wayne Rooney crossed from a corner kick from the right, but Manchester United, including Rashford, still failed to grab the spot, and the ball was cleared out of the penalty area by a defender.

Blind, who fell outside, took control of the ball and then reorganized the attack, Depay received a pass from Blind at the top of the penalty area, took a few steps to the left, dodged space and fired a long shot just over the crossbar.

Depay's shot was of good quality and the United fans behind the goal applauded him.

Soria's kick fell into the hands of United and they counter-attacked, but Depay couldn't get past Mariano and the counter-attack came to an abrupt end again.

In the 82nd minute, Van Gaal played the last card in his hand, replacing Valencia, who had completely exhausted his physical strength, with Januzaj.

Januzaj came on as a right winger, while Jesse Lingard moved to the middle, behind Marcus Rashford, playing as a shadow striker, or alongside Wayne Rooney in midfield, with United playing 343 instead.

Van Gaal is going to fight hard.

For this reason, he also specially called Depay to the side and gave some advice.

It seems that at the critical moment, Van Gaal still hopes that his descendants will fight for him.

………………

Mariano was again booked for delaying time with a sideline kick when he went up and down the touchline with the ball and didn't throw it for half a minute, and the linesman who replaced Christian Eriksen as the referee ran over to give Mariano a topaz card under pressure from the Manchester United players.

However, Sevilla took the opportunity to delay another minute.

In the 84th minute of the game, Manchester United won a free kick at the back, and De Gea was unwilling to stand in front of the goal this time, and after combining with Rojo, he distributed the ball to the feet of Rooney who pulled to the right.

Rooney received the ball and launched a long pass to hoist the ball towards the top of the penalty area.

This time Marcus Rashford didn't get up front, and he and Jesse Lingard made a switch.

Lingard's unsuccessful rivalry with Sevilla defenders interfered with Nzongzi, causing him to lose control of the ball.

The ball was hit by Enzongqi with a cupola cannon, and when it fell, Enzongqi was about to go over and kick the siege, but found that a red figure rushed up from the side and kicked the ball that fell vertically.
