Chapter 1034: He deserves the same accolades, if not better!
This pass, which seemed to be like a siege in despair, was about to turn decay into magic under Li Liang's continuous acceleration!
The last two Barcelona centre-backs quickly completed their division of labor, with Pique staying in the box to keep a close eye on the sideways little monster, and Umtiti strode towards the United captain.
Ter Stegen has already roared -
"Hold him back!"
The little lion didn't even realize that the Frenchman Umtiti simply couldn't understand what he was shouting!
The ball rushes forward with more power, so it looks like Umtiti will be the first to intercept the ball -
Pique, Xiaobai, and Valverde and Aspiasu on the sidelines are all yelling: "Destroy! β
Of course, Umtiti, who plays at centre-back, understands this.
- But at this time he had other plans in mind!
In the two rounds of the competition, he and the captain of Manchester United were at an absolute disadvantage in 4 one-on-one battles!
Height, strength, speed and explosiveness are all superior, and the most important thing is that Barcelona can face the best players in the world every day -
So Umtiti was absolutely confident heading into the first round.
He even spoke to his former team-mates in Lyon, especially his national team teammates Fekir and Tolisso.
He was deeply dissatisfied with the "exaggerated" description of Li Liang by these two people, and even congratulated that his choice to join Barcelona was so correct-
Otherwise, he would be at a loss for Li Liang like Tolisso.
However, reality gave Umtiti a resounding slap in the face!
Even if Barcelona won the first game, it couldn't let him go.
- The Frenchman decided to take the risk of victory and gave the United captain a resounding response at the Camp Nou!
He threw his arms up and twisted his body sharply, and it looked like he was going to clear the ball as his coach and teammates had hoped.
Umtiti's movements continued, and he felt something was wrong between the lightning and flintβ
Not only him, but Pique and the little lion all stared nervously-
The Manchester United captain did not dodge Umtiti's clearance at close range!
Even if the ball is likely to turn into a heavy blow to himself and face in the next moment, Li Liang has no intention of backing down!
Umtiti's body has moved as conceived -
His arms and body retracted at the last moment, his swinging thighs turned into lateral adduction, and his ankles quickly rotated to minimize force while starting to smash the ball.
The Frenchman wanted to humiliate the United captain with a move that is no longer common on the pitch!
By the time he realized that everything was out of time, Li Liang had already touched the ball!
The United captain stabbed the ball with his toe and stabbed it between his opponent's legs -
Umtiti has lost all hopes.
Pique gave up his defense against the little monster and cursed and turned to make up for it, but the United captain was already in range -
The little lion didn't bother to reprimand Umtiti and began to prepare for Li Liang's impact!
The magic bird roared, "Go on! β
Seeing that Li Liang was about to completely get rid of his opponent and form a single knife, the bench behind him was boiling-
The whole Camp Nou suddenly fell into suffocation, because it was the captain of Manchester United who won the ball at the moment, the Champions League champion and the MVP of the final, and because he had scored 3 goals for Barcelona in the two legs of the competition!
The referee's sharp whistle remembered, and the entire Camp Nou exclaimed-
The United captain struggled and slammed down on the turf.
The referee strode in front of Umtiti, and Xiaobai, Pique, Alba, and even Messi all rushed forward like crazy -
The Red Devils diehards who had been depressed before roared wildly, and the away team bench on the sidelines was boiling!
The crazy roar that broke out in an instant on the entire commentary seat was no less than Messi's wonderful world wave just now, He Wei and Xue Yang shouted at the same time: "Red card!"
The referee showed the red card directly to Umtiti! β
There was a huge chaos on the turf and in every corner of the stands at Camp Nou almost at the same time, until several referees came together to dissuade the angry Barca players.
Valverde's face became more and more ugly, and Aspiasu stood aside in frustration: "...... It's all ruined, and we ourselves untied the noose around their necks! β
The magic bird stood motionless in front of the bench, and the people behind him had already fallen into madness.
In the 59th minute, a dramatic scene finally happened, and Barcelona, who firmly grasped the initiative and had the numerical advantage, also had to face the opponent's 10 men because of a low-level mistake.
He Wei looked at the slow motion in the picture and said excitedly: "...... After Li Liang completed the break, Umtiti had to make a tactical foul directly from behind, and there was no problem in showing a red card according to the rules!
The referee made a notarized penalty under tremendous pressure!
It was a direct free kick about 3 or 4 meters in front of the penalty area, which was a great opportunity for Li Liang to score, and we saw that all the Barcelona players had returned to their own penalty area as if they were facing a big enemy!
Looking at the picture of the Manchester United captain picking up the ball and coming to the penalty spot, the stadium of 10,000 people, which had been jubilant before, quickly quieted down, and everyone fell into great tension.
Xue Yang's voice came from the picture: "The free kick in this position is what Li Liang is best at!"
We have seen that the United players have dispersed, and there is no doubt that this golden opportunity will be handled by Li Liang himself. β
Xiao Yu held his breath, and the relatives and friends around him were also extremely nervous.
Lippi and the others stopped their discussion and watched as the United captain began to retreat.
The referee blew the whistle to signal that it was time to start, and the little lion stared nervously at the opponent -
The United captain took a deep breath and began to run-
Messi, who retreated to the penalty area to assist his teammates in defense, stared at the ball, and he saw the Manchester United captain's powerful steps forcibly stop in front of the ball, and then the ball was kicked into the air with a "bang"!
This time it's the right foot!
When the ball crossed the jumping wall, the lion cub was still motionless in its previous position!
For him, who is known for his prediction and position, he still can't make a decision until this moment-
Because every moment of the ball's flight was almost beyond his expectations!
Whether it is the speed or arc, as well as the strength of this free kick shot, all of them have reached the limit of the little lion's judgment -
As a result, when the ball reached the goal, the lion cub remained frozen in place.
The ball roared into the goal and smashed into the net, and the towel hanging on the side net was even shaken off!
Above the huge Camp Nou, only the hoarse shouts and cheers of the Red Devils diehards were recalling, and the rest of the nearly 100,000 Barcelona fans stared in awe at the figure that was not tall or strong-
Ferguson and Charlton were already jumping and throwing fists in celebration, and Lippi, Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane stood up together to applaud Li Liang, who was surrounded by his teammates.
Henry clasped his head in his hands and shouted, "What is this?!"
I can't believe it at all! β
Adams, who was in a daze, was equally shocked and dazed.
He Wei shouted excitedly: "Beautiful!
Impeccable!
Like Messi, Li Liang also scored two consecutive free kicks in the Champions League semifinals-
If Messi's performance is a miracle, then Li Liang also deserves such praise, or even better!
This is Li Liang's brace in the first half of the game, and it is also the 16th goal in the Champions League this season!
Manchester United regain the initiative!
β¦β¦β
- The referee blew the whistle again firmly, and the goal came to 3:1 immediately, and Manchester United successfully extended their lead in the 60th minute of the game!
Calming down from his ecstasy, the Magic Bird shouted for Faria and Herrera to return to their seats, and then immediately pulled out his notepad and hurriedly recorded it.
The aggregate score between the two sides has also become 5:4, and the Red Devils once again see hope of a comeback!
