Chapter 1281: Opponent

“ROOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!”

When Glory slammed the ball into the goal, all the Manchester City fans in the stands of the entire Manchester City Stadium jumped to their feet and shouted with all their strength.

“ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!!”

If Glory's second ball was a beautiful barb, the beautiful element of the ball in their cheers also accounted for a lot of reasons.

Then this ball, they are more shocked by the indomitable momentum of Glory!

Glory rushed over to fight for the top, and there was a good chance that he would head on head with Rio Ferdinand, and there was a good chance that he would be injured, or even a lot of injuries.

But Glory probably didn't think about injury at all when he jumped that time, and everyone was convinced that Glory only saw football in his eyes at this moment, not even Rio Ferdinand.

In order to be able to reverse the score, Rongguang can really be said to be desperate.

In the end, he didn't fight in vain!

The football was headlined by him and into the goal!

Neither Rio Ferdinand nor David De Gea were able to stop the ball from flying into the back of the net.

"Rong! The decisive goal! Manchester City reversed 4:3! With three goals down in the first half, they completed a great comeback! ”

"It would be a fitting match to wrap up the game with this ball...... Alan Hansen also lamented. If Manchester City want to turn around the disadvantage of falling behind by three goals, it is not enough to rely on tactics, they also need to be indomitable and fearless. And these are vividly reflected in the ball of Rong! ”

John Mortensen nodded repeatedly: "That's right, it looks like Manchester United is going to lose to Rong again." But I have nothing to regret when I lose to such a Rong. ”

When Glory scored the ball into the goal, Ferguson did not rush to the sideline to shout anxiously this time, but sat in his own place, chewing gum in his mouth. Only careful enough could notice that Ferguson was chewing gum much faster than before.

His heart was hit hard at that moment, and he was only able to release the pressure with a quick chewing motion.

It's really hard to accept that you can make the opponent turn back by four goals when you're three goals ahead......

He didn't cover his heart and collapsed, which was already considered strong.

Behind him, there was silence on the bench throughout Manchester United.

None of them could accept such an outcome.

A three-goal lead failed to break down this opponent, so what else do they have to do?

No one knows, their hearts are filled with despair.

※※※

"It's amazing...... Although the game is not over yet, if you look at the players of Manchester United, you can clearly see the signs of loss of fighting spirit in their faces and eyes...... It was as if the game was over. ”

"That's the psychological shock that Young's goal brought them......" said Alan Hansen. The lead was three goals and was reversed. And Rong scored three goals alone. It can even be said that the gap between these three goals was filled by Rong alone. When they face such an opponent, they must be a little desperate, that is, no matter what they do, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy in front of them. I can totally understand the feeling, it's really overwhelming......"

In a rare move, Alan Hansen did not directly ridicule the United players, but rather sympathized with them.

There's nothing to be sarcastic about, Manchester United's players are actually pretty good.

While everyone was cheering for the goal, the glory was still lying on Leo Ferdinand's body, and he didn't get up.

Ferdinand didn't upset the glory either, his hands were raised to maintain balance, and of course now that everyone was lying on the ground, it was useless.

His hand was still hanging, and then he slowly put it down, but instead of putting it on the ground, he patted it lightly on Glory's back: "Alas......"

He sighed.

"Although I don't want to admit defeat, but in front of this ball, I can't help it, right?" Ferdinand said softly.

Only then did Glory realize that there was a person pressing down on him underneath.

So he hurriedly braced his hands and got up from the ground.

After getting up, he also stretched out his hand to Ferdinand: "Didn't hit you, did you?" ”

Ferdinand took the hand that Glory stretched out: "How is that possible? I'm a vegetarian in this body! ”

After saying that, Glory made a big effort and pulled him up.

Glory tapped Ferdinand on the back and turned to find his teammates who had pounced on him.

Ferdinand, on the other hand, stood still, leaning against the goalpost, and shook his head.

No way, no way.

When you meet such a person, you just can't help it.

He was convinced to lose this ball.

The Manchester City players burst into laughter and rushed to glory to celebrate the goal.

For the first time, no one came up to give Kaka a hug to assist.

Kaka just watched everyone rush up and drown out the glory.

Only he and Ibrahimovic didn't go up, and even goalkeeper Joe Hart ran in front of the goal and was the last to throw himself into the crowd.

Kaka just looked at it, and had no intention of going up to celebrate.

But his heart is not as calm as he appears.

In this cross, he had to say that he didn't know if he would score before he passed it, and there was some luck in it.

In the end, Glory was able to push the football into it in such a way.

Kaka thought of what Glory had said at halftime.

“…… I'm not going to give up on the FA Cup......"

He really did what he said.

Kaka noticed that even Ibrahimovic, who usually used his nostrils to see glory, turned his head and watched the glory in the crowd very intently.

He wondered if he felt the same vibration in his heart as he did.

After Glory's goal, although there were about seven or eight minutes left on the game and City were only one goal ahead, the United side seemed to have lost their fighting spirit.

Even Ferguson stood on the sidelines, mechanically chewing gum and making no other adjustments.

In the end, the referee's three whistles reached a peak of cheers in the Manchester City Stadium.

Manchester City successfully reversed the situation of falling behind by three goals in the first half and eliminated the city's arch-rival Manchester United with a score of 4:3!

And Manchester United is once again planted at the feet of Manchester City.

This time, though, they lost with a little more dignity. After all, they completely suppressed Manchester City in the first half.

Of course, it didn't work.

Because in the end, they still lost, especially when they were leading by three goals in the first half, and they lost the game, which is even more regrettable, and it will bring them to everyone who is probably bigger than losing the game 1:6.

If given the choice, they would actually prefer to play like in the first half and then like a dragon in the second half......

But alas, there is no choice.

Manchester United lost again.

After the game, City's players celebrated wildly as if they had already won the FA Cup. In the first half of the league, when they beat Manchester United 6-1 away, they didn't celebrate so wildly.

Perhaps this sense of escape from death is what makes them celebrate so wildly.

After the game, Glory approached Leo Ferdinand, offered to exchange jerseys with him, and the two hugged and shook hands again, and then parted.

After the game, Ferdinand answered questions from reporters and talked about Glory's third goal, which was also the most crucial goal of the game.

“…… I didn't really see him, my whole attention was on football at the time. And...... To be honest, I was looking around before I started and I'm pretty sure there wasn't a Man City player in my vicinity. I don't know how he rushed over......"

A reporter asked: "Did you watch the replay of the goal later?" ”

Ferdinand nodded, "Of course, I did, and that really surprised me, man...... He was like a lion that flew up and pounced. ”

Leo Ferdinand's exaggeration made the reporters laugh, and Ferdinand himself laughed, although the loss made him frustrated, but at this time he still showed a gentlemanly demeanor.

"I know that ball can be used by you for a long time, and every time I replay it, I become the background. But it doesn't matter, who made this ball so exciting? ”

Leo Ferdinand shrugged, waved goodbye to the reporters, and walked out of the mixed zone.

Although he and Rongguang are rivals.

But there are such opponents...... It's also the charm of football.

Manchester City were able to progress to the fourth round of the FA Cup by eliminating Manchester United.

Their opponents for the next round are not yet known, but will be determined by the draw of all the teams that will advance to the fourth round.

The FA Cup was followed by the League Cup.

Manchester City, who have reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, will host their semi-final opponents, Liverpool.

This is the match on January 11, and the second leg of the semi-finals will be played on January 25.

This is interspersed with league games and the fourth round of the FA Cup on 28 January.

The fixtures are very dense and will be a very tough test for Manchester City.

Here's what happened – when Manchester City knocked Manchester United out of the FA Cup, they also created a formidable opponent who threatened them with a third consecutive league title. The Champions League and FA Cup have been eliminated successively, and Manchester United will never allow failure in the league, so they must be desperate to pull Manchester City down in the next half season, even if they lose the League Cup, Manchester United may not care about the League Cup or anything at all.

Manchester City, on the other hand, face a third, or even fourth, tier battle – the league, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the League Cup.

It's definitely a tough test for City.

City have never had such a successful experience of multi-fronting, as has been evident in previous seasons.

Last season was their limit, they won the league and the Champions League.

However, winning the Champions League still has a lot to do with their own dark horse status.

They are defending the Champions League this season, which is not a single star more difficult than winning the Champions League for the first time last season.

Coupled with the drag of the FA Cup and League Cup, could it be that Manchester City will have a fourth-tier collapse?
