Chapter 217: Wembley, Here We Come! (Above)
Everyone knows what this penalty means.
Score, Manchester United will tie the aggregate score, the two teams will return to the same running line, regardless of the final result, at least this moment, Manchester United will come back to life, for the time being, do not have to face the danger of elimination.
If it doesn't go in, then it is likely that Manchester United's strong breath is likely to dissipate, and it is basically certain that Schalke 04 will successfully advance.
The fans in the stands fell silent again, and everyone looked at the box with worried and nervous looks, without blinking.
The players on the field are even more nervous, on the line of the big penalty area, both sides are close to each other, both waiting for the result of the penalty, but also interfering with the opponent - if the penalty does not go in, they will rush over as soon as possible, of course, the purpose is different, Schalke 04 is to destroy the clearance, and the Manchester United players are to make up shots.
Fan Bizhuang stood twelve yards away, he knew the situation behind him very well, the anxiety and hope in the eyes of his teammates could hardly be concealed, and the eyes in the stands were blazing, which made him suddenly feel a heavy pressure, and he also felt that he could not be let down by the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
He took a heavy breath, then exhaled. Fan Bizhuang clenched his fists and turned his head to look at the referee not far away, who nodded, and Fan Bizhuang withdrew his gaze and looked at Neuer in front of the goal.
The young Neuer's face was calm and determined, but Fan Bizhuang still caught the hidden panic in his eyes. As if to disguise the panic, and perhaps to cheer himself up, Neuer bouncing his feet on the goalline and waving his hands in an attempt to distract Fan Bizhuang.
But for Fan Bizhuang, such a move could not set off the slightest wave in his heart.
Exhaling a heavy breath again, Fan Bizhuang began to run, his running was not fast, not slow, like a drumbeat, every step fell, with a certain rhythm, when he was about to approach the football, Fan Bizhuang in the running suddenly paused, and Neuer on the goal line was really fooled, leaning to the left.
"Not good, feints, a change in rhythm!"
Neuer screamed in panic, but his body could no longer retreat, and Fan Bizhuang started again, and after one step, he kicked the football with his right foot, and the black and white elf rushed in the opposite direction towards the goal.
Neuer pounced on the left side of his body, and the ball flew to the right.
There was no suspense in the end!
Fan Bizhuang easily deceived it, and the football successfully fell into the net!
3:1!
The overall score is 4:4!
Manchester United equalized the aggregate score, and the crisis of being eliminated in regular time was temporarily lifted!
Fan Bizhuang fell to his knees, and before he could make a movement of pointing his fingers at the sky, his teammates behind him had already rushed up, screaming and cheering wildly.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Fan Fan Fan Fan ...... Fan! Fan...... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! ”
"Van scored the penalty he created! He helped United equalise on aggregate! 4:4! Manchester United's crisis resolved! ”
"A brace! In his first game after returning from injury, Van contributed two shots and one pass, and his performance was unparalleled! It was his 14th Champions League goal of the season, which has already equalled the record for goals scored in a single season in the Champions League, and insanely, this is the second time Van has equaled that record! ”
"The ball is in! Van is once again a hero at Old Trafford! ”
Old Trafford erupted in an instant, cheers, screams, shouts, roars, mingled, and the stands became a sea of red completely.
"Fan! Fan!! And sure enough, he scored the ball! I knew Fan could do it! He's never missed a moment! ”
"It's flat! The aggregate score is tied! The hope of making the cut is just around the corner! ”
"That's right! We will win in the end! Now we're going to fight one more! ”
"Fan will take us and continue to win down! Hooray, Van ! ”
While there was a lot of noise in the stands, the coach's bench and the bench were also boiling, the players and coaches jumped up from their seats, some waved their fists and shouted, some hugged each other, and some almost burst into tears.
Lord Fu, who had experienced countless winds and waves, couldn't hold back the waves in his heart, like a child who got candy, screaming and jumping in place.
This game is really exciting, like a roller coaster, first two goals lead, the promotion situation is good, but after Schalke 04 suddenly scored, the situation took a sharp turn, Manchester United stood on the verge of elimination, and the game came to an end, Van Bizhuang scored again, let the two sides return to the same running line at the same time, but also let Manchester United come back to life.
Rao is Ferguson has experienced countless winds and waves, and at this moment, he is also too excited to help himself.
He's very old and he doesn't know if he will have a chance to compete for the Champions League trophy in the few years he has left, but he hopes to lead the team to the top of Europe again in the last years of his coaching career, and now that he is so close to the final, how can he remain calm!
Say anything, and you can't give up! Say anything, and make it to the finals!
"Hurry up! The game isn't over yet, there's still time! ”
Ferguson stopped celebrating, suddenly remembered something, and waved and shouted at the stadium.
If it had been possible, he would have been reluctant to go to extra time or even a penalty shoot-out afterwards. In that case, there are too many surprises. He couldn't put his hopes on a gamble where the odds were half and half half.
At this moment, the team equalized the aggregate score, and at the same time played an extra man on the field, morale was high, and the opponent suffered a heavy blow of conceding a goal in the last minute and being sent off, now is the best chance!
He asked his team to keep attacking, take chances like this, try to score another goal and kill the game!
……
The Manchester United players seemed to hear the old man's shout, and Fan Bizhuang pushed away his teammates, buried his head in the net, scooped up the football, and then rushed to the center circle.
The teammates were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly ran back quickly with Fan Bizhuang.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
"There's still time! Aim for another goal and settle the battle in regulation time! ”
"Don't give your opponent the slightest chance to turn the tables!"
Schalke 04's players are still immersed in the blow of conceding the goal, think about it, seeing that there is a lot of time in the game, or they will advance to the final as the winner soon, but suddenly lose the ball again, the situation is reversed again, this feeling of heaven one moment and standing on the edge of the cliff the next second, is really not very comfortable.
But Manchester United will not give them a chance to calm down and regain morale, and the referee saw that Manchester United had put the ball away, and hurriedly "drove" Schalke 04 back to their half, ready to replay.
Whether the away players were reluctant or not, the referee blew the whistle and the game continued.
At this moment, Manchester United is completely morale-boosted, it stands to reason that the game has reached this point, both energy and physical strength, have reached a critical point, it is difficult to maintain high-intensity running and sprinting, plus this time period is very sensitive, if you don't pay attention, in case you are attacked by the opponent and score a goal, then everything will be over. To be on the safe side, it would be better to save the "showdown" for extra time.
But Manchester United did the opposite, they really didn't want to play extra time, and at the same time wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to play an extra man and kill the game early.
So as soon as the whistle blew, the players in Manchester United's midfield frantically rushed forward to surround it.
Schalke 04 wants to control the ball, not only to stabilize the rhythm, to recover the mood, but also to kill a little game time. However, Manchester United's siege was fast and fierce, and the away players were scrambling, only passing back and forth a few times, there was a mistake, and the ball was successfully snatched away by Manchester United.
Manchester United, who got the ball, did not delay, and immediately launched an attack on the spot, hitting the front court at a very fast speed, and then playing to the side, Kaka swept the ball into the box with a long pass.
The style of play is simple and direct, but it still poses a big threat to Schalke 04, who has just suffered a heavy blow and has not fully recovered.
Rooney flashed at the front point, causing the defenders to shake a little, and Fan Bizhuang shot at the back point, but he didn't eat the right part, the football kicked and flew directly out of the bottom line.
The United players were not discouraged and quickly retreated to continue to mob the visitors' half.
Under this high pressure, Schalke 04's backfield defense has always been suppressed, and the goal is constantly under threat.
"Manchester United's attack is too ferocious!"
"Kaka is up...... Direct long-range ...... Phew, Manuel Neuer made a brilliant world-class save! Narrowly saved the ball! ”
"Manchester United obviously don't want to play extra time, now they have one more man, their purpose is to send Schalke 04 home in regular time!"
"Time is running out, I don't know if Manchester United will be able to score again!"
With the shouts and screams of the fans in attendance, as well as the non-stop exclamations of the commentators, the game time passed quickly in the ferocious attack of Manchester United, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the eighty-ninth minute. The referee looked at his watch and raised three fingers.
The referee gave three minutes of stoppage time!
"Looks like it's going to be overtime!"
"The regular season is coming to an end, and Manchester United, despite their attacking momentum, have not been able to go any further!"
"It doesn't matter if you play extra time, Manchester United have a numerical advantage, the pressure on the Schalke 04 defence is undoubtedly huge, and it will be difficult for them to hold on for a long time!"
Just when everyone was talking, the situation on the field changed again.
Fan Bizhuang suddenly pulled out of the penalty area, cruising from the middle to the side, and pulled out the vacancy.
Scholes immediately saw his team-mate's movement and without hesitation, he immediately swept the ball over!
"Fan!"
Scholes shouted as he kicked the ball out, his face full of anticipation.
Schalke 04 fullback Hoglan immediately rushed to Van Bizhuang, but the latter's action was more rapid, lifting his foot lightly to unload the ball, and then by the way, the football jumped between Hogland's legs, Van Bizhuang's body twisted, and also rushed forward!
Fan Bizhuang dribbled the ball inside and cut into the penalty area!
