Chapter 382: Ukraine Is Still in the World
The ball goes straight to the bottom right corner of the Manchester United goal!
De Gea pounces on the side! Late! However, the angle of Marlos's header was tricky, and De Gea's side save couldn't save the ball!
The ball goes into the net! The ball is in! Shakhtar Donetsk seized the chance to attack in the first few numbers and took the lead again in the 68th minute of the game! 2οΌ1οΌ
And the goalscorer Marlos, the guy with the bandage on his head, has fallen to the ground! Can't afford to celebrate!
All the Shakhtar Donetsk players, except for the goalkeeper, ran in front of Marlos and helped him up!
They collectively made the same gesture to celebrate the goal!
The index fingers of the ten right hands are pointing to the sky in unison!
It was Shakhtar Donetsk's players who agreed to celebrate at halftime. At halftime, they had just seen the news on the TV in the locker room:
In the village of Shirokim in eastern Ukraine, which is in the midst of all-out war (harmony), eight civilians were accidentally killed by bombs dropped by both sides!
This celebration is to commemorate the souls of eight Ukrainian compatriots who have just died in Donetsk!
On the football field, the index finger points to the sky, often to commemorate the dead. For example, when Liu Yun scored in the FA Cup final, he pointed to the sky to commemorate the deceased Mrs. Hudson.
Manchester United's players, knowing these tough guys in Donetsk, must be commemorating something. If the dead saw Shakhtar score a Manchester United goal with such tenacity, they would be dumbfounded, right?
Maybe it was the DJ of the stadium who made his own assertions, and in the stereo of the Lviv Municipal Stadium, the Ukrainian national anthem "Ukraine is still in the world" suddenly floated out!
Generally, football matches between national teams are played at the beginning of the national anthem. Matches between clubs often do not play the national anthem.
The DJ of the stadium must have made his own initiative to release this tragic and majestic "Ukraine is still in the world"!
The tune of Ukraine's national anthem is as tragic as Ukraine's history.
Historically, Ukraine was annexed by the Mongol Golden Horde, Lithuania, Poland, Tsarist Russia, Germany, and the Soviet Union. However, Ukraine, as the name of the national anthem, is still alive!
Maybe we're going through war, maybe our homes have been bombed to rubble. However, we, the Ukrainians, will definitely rebuild our homes when peace comes!
The spirit of a team is sometimes the spirit of a city, the spirit of a country!
The 50,000 players sang the national anthem in unison:
"Ukraine is still on earth, her glory, her freedom.
Above our compatriots, fate will smile againγγγγγγ β
The tragic "Ukraine is still alive" reverberates in the sky above the Lviv stadium!
Inspired by the fans and amidst the tragic national anthem, the players of Shakhtar Donetsk continued to resist wave after wave of attacks from Manchester United with tenacious defense!
The Donetsk tough guy Marlos, who was injured twice, gritted his teeth and persevered on the field.
The tenacious Shakhtar of Donetsk forced Mu Shuai to have to change generals!
In the 72nd minute, Manchester United replaced Marcus Rashford with JuanMarta.
In the 79th minute, Manchester United replaced Romelu Lukaku, who had a mediocre performance, and replaced Jesse Lingard.
Shakhtar Donetsk also replaced striker Tyson with a centre-back to continue to strengthen their defence.
Shakhtar Donetsk's intentions are clear, to do everything in his power to hold on to the lead! Leave a victory to the motherland of Ukraine, which is suffering!
As the clock ticked by, the game had reached the final three minutes of stoppage time.
Shakhtar Donetsk's warriors withstood Manchester United's almost frantic attack in the final stages of the game with their tenacious defense!
In the 93rd minute of the game, Manchester United got the last chance to attack!
Lingard, who was substituted on the field, took the ball in the middle and passed the ball to the old lieutenant Liu Yun with his back to the opponent's goal at the edge of the penalty area!
Liu Yun picked up the ball with his back and turned around! Got past Volovik, who was defending him closely!
Liu Yun saw the right time to get started! At the same time as he pulled out his foot, the Marlos with his head wrapped in bandages actually blocked the eyes by flying and shoveling!
If Marlos had tackled the ball first, Liu Yun's right foot, which had already made a shooting motion, would likely hit his right leg hard.
However, Marlos, who scored two goals in this game, was not timid!
Marlos tackles the ball! At the same time, Liu Yun's right foot had already kicked over.
Liu Yun subconsciously closed his feet in time. Rao is like this, his right foot still kicked Marlos in the right leg! However, Liu Yun has retracted his feet and has already unloaded most of his strength, and Marlos is fine.
At this time, Shakhtar Donetsk defender Aldetz got the ball and cleared it out of the penalty area with a big foot.
The moment the ball flew out, the referee's whistle blew! "Toot ~~" The game is over!
Shakhtar Donetsk, who are regarded as the weakest in the round of 16 of the Champions League by many European giants, overthrew the giant Manchester United with a LIL combination 2:1 at home! A hard-earned victory!
Liu Yun stretched out his hand and pulled Marlos in front of him. Liu Yun couldn't help but extend his thumbs up to the Ukrainian tough guy in front of him: "Good!" goodοΌ β
good is the universal language. Marlos knows the veteran Manchester United captain who has shone in Europe's top five leagues this season is praising himself. He held his forehead, which was wrapped in layers of bandages, with one hand, and stretched out his hand to Liu Yun with the other.
The hands of the two tough guys were clasped together.
Liu Yun took off his jersey and signaled that he wanted to exchange jerseys with Marlos.
Marlos happily agreed, and also took off his jersey and handed it to Liu Yun.
This is the mutual appreciation between the No. 1 tough guy in the Premier League and the No. 1 tough guy in the Ukrainian Super League! Respect each other!
The fans in the stands once again sang the national anthem "Ukraine is still in the world"! In this chorus, all the fans stood up and put their right hands on their left chest!
The eleven Donetsk players on the field, the head coach and staff in the coach's box, also put their right hand on their left chest and sang the national anthem.
Among the crowd in the stands, Vchenko, a famous AC Milan dormitory, sang with tears in his eyes! He thought silently in his heart:
"Maybe the clubs in our country will never have the financial resources of the big five leagues to buy strong players. Maybe the hardware of our stadiums will never be as good as the home stadium of the big five league clubs. However, we Ukrainians have a tenacious spirit that will never lower our noble heads! That's enough!
This victory is enough to declare to the whole world that Ukrainians are by no means lambs to the slaughter! β
The victory of Shakhtar Donetsk is, in a sense, a victory for the country of Ukraine!
At this moment, the big screen of the stadium showed the news of the tragedy in the village of Shirokim in Donetsk.
Manchester United's players, although they don't understand Ukrainian, can roughly guess what is happening from the footage.
The DJ of the Lviv Municipal Stadium said through the stadium overhead: "Let us observe a moment of silence for the eight compatriots who have just died. β
More than 50,000 fans, all Shakhtar Donetsk and even Manchester United all bowed their heads and closed their eyes in silence.
Liu Yun said silently in his heart: "Ukraine, I wish you peace as soon as possible!" β
