Chapter 405: Savior

Chance in the melee!

René Girard stared at Meunier without blinking, although in his heart he had agreed with Ye Xin's horror, but in his heart he had no hope.

Maybe Ye Xin is not good at dealing with this kind of melee?

Meunier naturally thinks so, although his head coach has emphasized Ye Xin's strength countless times before and during the game, but looking at the football not far above his head, Meunier has full confidence in the goal at the moment, without him, this pick pass is too comfortable.

Whether it's the landing point or the speed of the ball, it's just like the ball that someone else deliberately throws in his training, all he needs to do is jump up and hit the ball hard.

And then......

There is no then.

The appearance of a pair of large hands shattered Meunier's hope.

He's just too fast, how can he be so fast?

René Girard looked at the figure in front of Manchester City with a football on his face, and all that welled up in his heart was a sense of desolation.

Montpellier's two great chances were just two ordinary defenses for Ye Xin.

And this time, Ye Xin's performance finally caused the Montpellier players to be alarmed, and they vaguely understood why the always confident manager repeatedly emphasized the importance of Ye Xin before the game, and also deliberately arranged fishing tactics to break Manchester City's defense.

It turned out that it was really just for the goalkeeper.

But are we really going to throw in the towel?

Of course not!

Although Ye Xin's goalkeeping made Montpellier return in vain again, the Montpellier fans in the stands did not seem to be demoralized in the slightest, and they still kept singing their own team song.

"We are the Swifts in the Storm"

"We always move forward in the face of adversity"

……

Adversity, yes, adversity, the cries of the Montpellier fans suddenly pulled René Girard out of his state of decadence, he shook his head to drive away the pressure brought to him by Ye Xin, and began to calculate in his mind again, at the same time he immediately replaced three players.

Time is running out, and Montpellier has only one last stand.

As for on-the-spot tactics?

René Girard could only keep his players pressed across the board.

And the players in Montpellier were only slightly affected by Ye Xingang's goal, but they have always been pressed and beaten by strong teams, and they will not collapse because of these two goals, on the contrary, they burst out with greater energy under the pressure of time.

Champions!

Isn't it just for such a day that the grandson who has been loaded in the league for half a season has retained his physical strength for half a season?

The things of the Montpellier players have not decreased but increased Mancini's doubts, but he still has a little worry about the crazy Montpellier, so he also decisively began to warm up Rodwell, ready to replace Gareth Barry, who was already a little tired, and he had used up two places for defenders halfway, so this substitution was also the last substitution for Manchester City.

And time ......

Mancini glanced at the time.

There are 10 minutes left, and there will be no more than 12 minutes of stoppage time.

Montpellier is playing like this, can they last 10 minutes on their own?

Running like crazy can certainly control the tempo of the game in the short term, but such short-term outbursts are always a double-edged sword, and Mancini doesn't understand why René Girard would let go of it in the first game, but that doesn't stop him from putting another obstacle on Montpellier.

Thinking of this, he asked Edin Dzeko to move back.

Is it pressed across the board?

Then I'll show you all the lines!

Once again, there was chaos between City's centre circle and the big penalty area.

80th minute of the game......

Eighty-fifth minute ......

Eighty-Seventh Minute ......

If there was a home advantage, Montpellier's advantage today was their luck, and just when all the Montpellier players were already gasping for breath and could not keep up, Lady Luck once again befell them.

Yaya Toure managed to grab the ball in a counter-attack and smashed a big foot into the head of Montpellier defender Elkautari, although Elkautari fell at the time, but the ball flew through the crowd like a divine help and flew directly to the feet of Utaka.

Utaka was blinded suddenly, just now he just didn't have time to return to defense, he never thought that when he was about to go back to participate in the middle fight, the football would actually pass to his feet, but he was not a rookie, at this time he quickly glanced at the linesman.

No offside!

Utaka immediately picked up his short leg and raced towards the Manchester City goal.

Why do I have a sense of déjà vu.

Thinking of this, he quickly glanced behind him.

Damn, it did.

Chlich once again fought his way out of the crowd and trailed behind Utaka.

And Mika Richards on the other end also quickly wrapped up, if it wasn't for him Utaka being offside, so he was also very hard at this moment.

Oh, yes, yes, the speed of Manchester City's fullbacks is too TM.

Utaka kept complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to reduce the movement of his feet in the slightest, he knew that this might be Montpellier's last chance, and this time no teammate could pick him up.

So he gritted his teeth and concentrated all his energy.

Although Giroud is no longer there, he was a key hero in winning the Ligue 1 title back then.

As the saying goes, you are afraid to be serious in everything.

Anything can happen when one is serious and thorough.

And as a wide player known for his explosiveness and flexibility, Utaka also has a strong enough heart.

Behind him, Chrissy had already chased after him, his hand already tugging at his clothes, and Richards leaning in on the side.

At this time, I saw that Utaka, who was still running at high speed, slowed down slightly.

Golden opportunity!

Richards didn't think it was just a sliding shovel.

There is a blockade in front, and there are pursuers in the back.

Roberto Mancini nodded in satisfaction, and this time he was very much appreciated by the quick return of City's two full-backs, and this kind of hard work was the basis for the victory.

It's just that before Mancini was happy, Utaka jumped over!

Richards brushed past him.

And Klich was also stunned, that is, at this time, Utaka quickly escaped from him with the help of strength, leaving Clichy with only the residual warmth of the Utaka jersey in his hand.

Roar!!

The Montpellier fans all stood up!

The Montpellier players on the sidelines also stood up!

Utaka once again appeared on the Mozon Pitch as a savior!
