Chapter 1280: Hungry Tiger Pounces

When the game resumed, the United players did look a little abnormal, they panicked and didn't know what to do, whether to hold on to the one-goal lead, or take the initiative to attack and hope to reopen the scoreline?

Fortunately, Ferguson quickly made a countermeasure - shrink the defense!

There is no offensive stubborn defense at all, and let's talk about Manchester City's offensive during this period of time.

His tweaks worked, at least when they shrunk their defence and City didn't score again in a short period of time.

The score was stable at 2:3, and there was a stalemate on the field.

It looks like United have stabilized their crumbling edifice.

If the score is always above that, then in the end Manchester United can still knock out Manchester City.

The minutes passed in this stalemate, and gradually came to the seventy-fifth minute of the game.

Fifteen minutes were left before the end of the game, so the TV broadcast also played the live score and some possession statistics on both sides at the bottom of the screen.

The score was still 2:3, and the home team Manchester City was behind. In terms of possession, the two sides are basically equal. United had the upper hand in the first half, but in the second half they cried back as they tightened their defence and ceded possession.

'With fifteen minutes left in the game, if City can't score, I'm afraid the game will go in favour of Manchester United as the clock ticks...... said John Mortensen.

After the excitement of the start of the second half, the game was calm with him.

Neither Ibrahimovic, nor Kaka, nor Sneijder, could no longer break down the Manchester United goal.

In the 76th minute, Ibrahimovic attempted a powerful long-range shot from outside the box. Although the football was powerful, the angle of the shot was so positive that Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea didn't even have to move his feet.

However, he didn't dare to hold it directly, because the power of Ibrahimovic's shot was so great that it could be felt from the sound alone.

De Gea is afraid that if he holds the ball directly, he will not be able to hold it at all, and he will be in big trouble if he takes the football away.

So he chose the safest way - to punch the ball out with both fists!

Bang!

De Gea pounced and punched the ball out, but at the same time he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

But the football was played by him, and he can be regarded as completing the task of a goalkeeper, right?

……

No!

The ball that was played by De Gea flew out of the box.

Everyone is fighting for the second spot.

High-level players are often well aware of the importance of the second drop.

So when the football flew out, the players of both Manchester City and Manchester United were heading for the second place.

At this time, Rongguang had already rushed to the place first, he did not jump up and compete with the players of Manchester United, but directly picked up his feet!

Volley barb!

He got ahead of Leo Ferdinand and hit the ball right next to Rio Ferdinand's head, and the bang made Leo Ferdinand's eardrums hurt and his ears buzzed.

"Rong-!!"

The football, which was kicked out by the Glory Barb, flew directly towards the goal.

At this time, De Gea had just gotten up from the ground, and when he got up, he saw the football flying towards him, and he made a reflexive save, but his save was still too slow in front of Glory's kick......

By the time he scrambled into the air, the ball had flown into the goal behind him......

"Oo!!oo John Mortensen stood up from his seat this time, clenching his fists and shouting. "A direct barb on the line of the big penalty area! No stop ball adjustment, direct barb! Pretty! Wonderful! Wonderful! No one could have imagined that Manchester City would equalize in such a way! 3:3! ”

Manchester City Stadium was like a volcanic crater erupting violently at this moment, and the shouts of Manchester City fans were deafening.

The TV broadcast was in the stands and the images were shaking, as if there was an earthquake.

Manchester City fans were ecstatic – they didn't expect to equalise after falling behind by three goals in the first half!

And the way to equalize is so gorgeous and cool!

Many Manchester United fans watched the scene in front of them, dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.

Some of the Manchester United players on the pitch raised their hands to complain to the referee, protesting that Glory's barb shot was a dangerous move and raised his foot too high.

But the referee ignored their protests, and if it could have been considered a dangerous move, the barb should have been removed from football.

※※※

There was still no celebration in the glory after the goal, and he got up from the ground and tried to rush into the goal to snatch the ball out, but he was only halfway through when he saw that Kaka had already done so.

He fished the ball out of the goal, turned around and ran back.

So Rongguang turned around and ran back, and the two of them ran side by side to the middle circle, without saying a word all the way, without any communication with each other, without high-fives in celebration or anything.

Kaka placed the ball in the center circle and then withdrew.

The rest of the City players didn't come up to celebrate, they only had one thought in their minds now - since we equalised, it was definitely going to be a comeback!

In the next time, you must give it your all and try to score another goal!

If United end up with a draw and go back to Old Trafford to play again, then what's the point of our previous three goals?

When the game restarted, instead of counter-attacking, City pressed up and attacked, and it was as if they were all attacking.

'I don't quite understand why City would do this. It stands to reason that being able to equalise after falling behind by three goals in the first half should already be a good result. Even if we have to play one more game, I think City will not necessarily lose to Manchester United away from home with a good mentality...... They beat Manchester United 6-1 at Old Trafford. Alan Hansen said with a frown. And now, when they attack in a big way, don't you think about how their backline could be caught by Manchester United and hit them on a counter-attack...... In the end, did they fall short? ”

※※※

As Alan Hansen said, while the Manchester City players were attacking aggressively, United adjusted their tactics and began to wait for opportunities to counter-attack.

In the eyes of all, this kind of crazy offensive by Manchester City is very dangerous.

It may not be long before United end the game with a counter-attack.

After all, Manchester United has speed counter-attacking masters such as Wayne Rooney, Nani and Valencia, and Welbeck's speed is not slow.

With these guys, it only takes one big foot to break the ball at the back to pose a threat to Manchester City......

Like Alan Hansen, they couldn't understand how City could take such a risk.

Could it be that the ball of glory made them all bloody?

Feel like they're invincible and can do anything.

On the football field, it is often this kind of love that I am most afraid of.

It's an easy time for them to score goals, but it's also easy to concede......

This is because it is easy for players to get carried away and lose their cool judgment just after scoring a goal.

In everyone's opinion, what Manchester City need at this time is calm.

But they seem to have made a wrong choice.

But...... Some people don't think so.

※※※

When Kaka received a pass from a team-mate, he looked at the situation in front of him, because Glory and Ibrahimovic are close to the middle, so Manchester United defend the most tightly in the middle, and it is very difficult to break through from here.

At that point, the defense on the flanks looked a little slack.

But what do you do on the side?

Go to the side and you can't score.

And in this game, Glory and Ibrahimovic in the trident both scored, and Glory scored two goals, only he did not score.

Go to the wing, you can't score, why go to the wing?

Because if you go to the wing, you have a chance to score......

Kaka faced the Manchester United player who came up to defend him, and after making a feint to cut inside, he flicked the ball outward with the outside of his left foot and jumped up to dodge the steal. Then after hitting the ground, Kaka strode to catch up with the football and dribble to the side!

"Kaka! He broke through! ”

Kaka at Manchester City and Kaka at Real Madrid are completely different people, and when Kaka breaks down the wing, his momentum makes everyone think he will cut straight inside from the wing and finish the shot.

So it was only natural that United's defensive focus shifted in that direction.

But Kaka didn't mean to cut inside and shoot.

He played the ball straight up the flank, and he crossed it with one kick!

The ball makes an arc in the air, and this arc looks a little high, not the kind of pass that is perfect for headers.

The football crossed the front point, and Ibrahimovic in front did not hear it.

De Gea, the goalkeeper in the middle, wanted to jump up and save the football, but he estimated the flight height and speed of the football, and felt that it would be difficult for him to hit the football when he jumped, so it was better to let it fly over, turn around and adjust his posture, and prepare for possible shots.

So he turned around with the football.

The ball flew to the back point and it looked like it was going to fly straight across the goal, either out of the bottom line or out of the sideline.

Still, to be on the safe side, Manchester United's centre-back Leo Ferdinand jumped to his feet and tried to push the ball out, leaning back and pushing it out of the box or out of the box, even if it was just a rub, as long as it could change the trajectory of the ball.

But at this time, a person suddenly rushed out of the picture!

He leaped up in a high-speed run and lunged at Leo Ferdinand with a lunge!

His goal is the football that is about to fly above Ferdinand's head!

As soon as De Gea turned around, he saw such a scene, and the glory in the air rushed towards Ferdinand!

He didn't even have time to alert Ferdinand, who was facing away, so he reflexively pounced, he pounced into the goal, spreading his arms, hoping to block the ball with any position with his body, even with his face!

“ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!” This elongated roar was not from John Mortson, but from the Manchester City fans at home!

At the sound of their roars, Glory slammed into Leo Ferdinand like a dive bomber.

Then at a little higher than Ferdinand, his forehead hit the football!

With a bang, the ball flew towards the goal, and he couldn't stop it, and collided with Leo Ferdinand!

De Gea flew into the air and tried to save the football. But the ball flew between his hands!

He pounced!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Glory! Glory! Glory! Hat-trick! It's a very, very, very beautiful football! Oh! Unbelievable! Oh! Wonderful! Oooo John Mortensen would have ended up with a roar like "Oooh."

Glory's header is so unexpected and shocking!

The moment he pounces on the football, it gives the illusion that he is not pushing the football, but wants to open the door to the next round of the FA Cup!

He did it!

Ferdinand was knocked off balance in the air by the glory and fell to the side and back.

Glory was pressed all over him, and the two of them eventually fell to the ground together.

Rio Ferdinand was so smashed that he didn't bother to look at the goal, but he heard a loud cheer erupting from the stands. So he's still very clear...... The goal is lost!
