Chapter 413: De Gea's Phlegm

After a Premier League team wins the title, there is usually a parade of championship floats.

The confident Manchester United club has announced on its official website that this year's parade of champions will take place after the Champions League final. The subtext of this announcement is self-explanatory: after we win the Champions League, the League Cup, and the FA Cup, we will directly hold a quadruple parade!

On both fronts in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, Manchester United's bench is also soaring. The League Cup has been beaten all the way to the final, and the FA Cup has already secured a ticket to the final.

Ten days before the Champions League final, Manchester United will face Everton in the Carabao Cup final and Chelsea in the FA Cup final!

Liu Yun's recovery from his injuries is surprisingly optimistic. He is now at the training base and has started his recovery training. In the first leg of the Champions League against Juventus, Liu Yun is very hopeful to return to the game!

Against Juventus, it was still the away and then the home. Manchester United have the advantage in the fixtures.

Manchester United have two league games to play before the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Round 33, Manchester derby! Manchester United travelled to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City in the Blue Moon.

Liu Yun's injuries have not yet healed and he is not in the squad. Isabella is more than a month away from giving birth to her and Liu Yun's daughter, and on the day of the game, Liu Yun did not go to the Etihad Stadium to cheer for Manchester United, but accompanied Isabella to the hospital for prenatal check-ups.

Liu Yun waited in the obstetric waiting room for his wife to finish the examination, and watched the red and blue battle on the TV in the waiting room with the fathers-to-be.

In this game, Manchester City is fighting for honor. As sworn rivals, the Blues will not tolerate two defeats to the Red Devils this season.

Although Manchester United won the championship ahead of schedule and the points have reached 88 points, this game is not without desire.

With six league games remaining, United will be aiming to pick up seven more points and break the Premier League title record of 95 points set by Jose Mourinho Chelsea.

Both sides played with their main forces.

The expectant fathers in the waiting room are divided into two factions. Five Manchester United fans, six Manchester City fans.

However, the common identity of "father-to-be" makes the atmosphere in the waiting room not too tense. Moreover, the amazing performance of the old lieutenant Liu Yun this season is obvious to all. The Premier League's No. 1 tough guy is not only regarded as his hero by Manchester United fans, but even fans of Manchester City, the city's rival, can't help but give Liu Yun a thumbs up.

In this game, Manchester City's starting lineup: goalkeeper Ederson, back three Otamendi, Danilo, Stones. Five midfielders: David Silva, Fernandinho, Kyle Walker, De Bruyne, Benjamin Mendy. Up front, Sergio Aguero partnered Gabriel Jesus.

Manchester United: goalkeeper David De Gea, back four Lindelof, Luke Shaw, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones. Double-back Pogba and Nemanja Matic. Marcus Rashford up front. Up front, Ibrahimovic, Romelu Lukaku, and Mkhitaryan.

The game started with a lot of gunpowder.

Just five minutes into the game, Otamendi fouled Lukaku maliciously and received a yellow card.

Just three minutes later, Manchester United youngster Luke Shaw pulled Aguero and also received a yellow card.

Then the two sides were in a state of anxiety in midfield.

In the 13th minute, Manchester City had a chance!

Jesus passed Pogba in front of the court and passed straight to Aguero, Aguero received the ball and connected Pogba and Bailly, and pushed it into the net! 1:0! Blue Moon Manchester City take the lead!

The expectant fathers in the waiting room cheered: "That's it, that's it!" That's it, teach the arrogant Manchester United a hard lesson! ”

These words caused Manchester United's fathers-to-be to look sideways: "Hey, it's still early for the game, and it's not certain who will teach whom!" ”

A close-up of Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho appeared on TV. Jose Mourinho doesn't seem nervous. He actually drank milk tea in the coach's seat.

Liu Yun smiled dumbly. His own head will always have such an attitude of sitting firmly on the fishing hook.

After Manchester City's goal, the situation on the pitch was very dull for a while.

In the 35th minute of the game, Da Ibrahimovic broke the dull game scene!

Ibrahimovic breaks down the flank and crosses Romelu Lukaku in the box. Lukaku wasn't greedy and had no chance to shoot, and he played the ball back to Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic fires at a 45-degree angle on the edge of the penalty area! directly hit a world wave and blasted open the door of Manchester City!

1:1 Draw! Manchester United equalised!

Manchester City's fathers-to-be in the waiting room cheered.

"Hey, old lieutenant, Ievee's state is still hot! Tell us a little gossip next season. He's not going to retire, is he? ”

Liu Yun smiled noncommittally and did not answer.

Liu Yun is now very convinced of the British gossip newspapers. A player could say anything and it might make the front page of the grapevine newspaper the next day.

Liu Yun's prudent words and deeds have helped him a lot! The father-to-be who asked him just now if Ibrahimovic would retire this season was actually a paparazzi reporter for the Sun newspaper, who was a fake father-to-be!

This paparazzi reporter also tried his best to get the news from the old lieutenant's mouth. He actually got Isabella's prenatal appointment date through some connections. Today is specifically pretending to be a father-to-be, waiting for the old lieutenant in the waiting room!

When the reporter saw that the old lieutenant's mouth was very tight, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

The first half ended with Manchester United drawing 1-1 away at Manchester City.

In the second half, the side changed sides and fought again, and the smell of gunpowder in the Manchester derby became stronger and stronger.

In the 52nd minute, first Jesus and Phil Jones clashed. The referees each played 20 boards, and each side received a yellow card.

In the 57th minute, John Stones fouled Mkhitaryan from outside his own box. Another yellow card.

At the critical moment, Mourinho couldn't sit still on the fishing hook. He decisively replaced Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku with Anthony Martial and Juan Marta.

Today, the old lieutenant has not yet returned from injury. In the Champions League semi-final against Juventus, I dare not say that I will be able to return to the game 100 per cent. If Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku are injured in this explosive Manchester derby, it will not be worth the loss.

The Manchester City fathers-to-be in the waiting room began to heckle: "Ha, cowardly Manchester United! ”

Liu Yun understands Mourinho's thoughts very well. Manchester United have already won the league title ahead of schedule. There's really no need to risk losing a key player in a Manchester derby. In one season with the team, he has already figured out his boss, Jose Mourinho. It seems that Mu Shuai is an open-mouthed madman. But in the game, Mourinho is more rational than anyone else!

No one expected that Manchester United's young player Anthony Martial, who came on as a substitute in this game, broke out!

In the 60th minute, Martial received a 45-degree diagonal pass from Juan Marta and scored with a header! 2:1, Manchester United overtook the score!

In the 72nd minute, Gabriel Jesus also scored from a tight angle after breaking through in the penalty area. 2:2 draw!

In the 83rd minute, Anthony Martial received a through ball from Pogba at the edge of the penalty area. Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson is up front. Anthony Martial took a decisive shot and the ball leaped past Ederson into the back of the net! 3:2!! Youngster Anthony Martial scored twice!

In fact, Anthony Martial is an excellent young striker. It's just that under Lil's strong aura, Martial can only be a bench player.

The game ended with less than 10 minutes left. Manchester United's formation is starting to shrink and it looks like Mourinho is intent on holding on to the lead and winning the Manchester derby.

As the minutes ticked by, the game went to stoppage time!

At the last moment, Aguero burst into the box with the ball! Luke Shaw is always inexperienced, pulling Aguero in the box! The sharp-eyed referee decisively awarded a penalty!

In the final moments of the game, Manchester City were awarded a penalty! It was the last chance to equalise!

Sergio Aguero stands in front of the penalty spot. Red Devils goalkeeper David De Gea spat on his gloves and prayed for good luck.
