Chapter Ninety-One: O!

Edinson Cavani's goal boosted Lazio's morale, and Lazio then continued to bombard the Reds with momentum.

Ferguson also felt this madness in Lazio, and he chose to avoid it.

In fact, to be able to score two points and two away goals at Lazio's most difficult home stadium is already quite remarkable.

And there was also a draw.

This result exceeded his expectations.

It's time to defend well and hold on to this great result.

So, with a big wave of his hand, United began to shrink their defence.

Of course, he is here for revenge, but revenge is not this game.

The quarter-finals are two-legged matches, and the elimination of Lazio is the best revenge.

He has now scored two away goals and held his opponents to a draw. The result was very favourable for him to return to his home turf to knock out Lazio in the second leg.

Naturally, there is no need for the team to give it their all in this game.

It's time to consider collecting it and saving some strength.

Lazio are going crazy, we can't go crazy with them, we have to stay calm. to be able to get out of this stadium......

Then he kept making substitutions and adjustments, and the intention to strengthen the defense was also obvious.

On top of that, Manchester United have begun to consciously stall for time.

For example, when Lazio shoots the ball out of the bottom line, Van der Sar doesn't go to the caddie behind him to ask for the ball, he stands still, spreads his hands, thinks about what his teammates are shouting, seems to be complaining, dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates.

But in reality he was stalling for time.

He just used this small gesture to delay for more than ten seconds. Don't underestimate these ten seconds, the accumulation is still quite scary.

Then he turned to the caddie and asked for the ball - he wouldn't have seen that the Lazio caddie had thrown the ball into the pitch.

Then, after being reminded, it "dawned on him" that he noticed the football that was already in the penalty area.

Walk over. Scoop the ball back, set it up, stand up and get ready to kick off the goal.

As a result, he ran to the football money, but stopped, bent down again to arrange the football, and put the football back in place.

Only then did he get up and retreat again.

In the end, in the face of the boos from the Olympic Stadium, he finally kicked the football to the front court and completed the action of kicking off the goal.

At this time, almost half a minute has passed in the game time......

Lazio are in a hurry to score another goal to complete the comeback. Manchester United, for their part, began to stall for time.

No one can bear it.

The Lazio players were a little anxious by United's slow and methodical pace.

Chang Sheng is also in a hurry.

He stood on the sidelines, biting his lip tightly, his hands in his trouser pockets, clenched into fists.

※※※

In response to Motta's pass, Manchester United also stepped up their defence.

Because the whole line retreated. They defended more than before, and it was easier to defend.

There weren't so many free spaces, and there was a lot less of a threat to get Motta to pass.

It was so exhaustive, and the game went into 80 minutes, and Lazio still couldn't score another goal.

The score remained 2:2.

It looks like maybe this score will be the score of the whole game.

But Lazio didn't give up and they were still trying to find a chance to score.

And the Lazio fans didn't give up either. They were singing and shouting from the stands, cheering on the Lazio players.

From the manager to the players to the average fan, no one wants Lazio to lose to Manchester United.

Because it means that Lazio's win over Manchester United was a fluke. Manchester United have managed to get what is theirs back. Although they can't get the trophy back, they can make the public think they deserve it better than Lazio......

It's not a game that's simply about winning or losing, it's about honor and dignity!

※※※

As the game entered the 80th minute, the Lazio players became more and more impatient.

They themselves know that time is running out......

"Time is running out for Lazio!" The English narrator said with some schadenfreude.

"Time is running out for Lazio......" is the same sentence. The Italian commentator said it with deep helplessness and anxiety.

In the eighty-third minute, there was another clash on the court!

It was when Manchester United were attacking. Cristiano Ronaldo was offside and Lazio took a free-kick at the back.

They were going to take a quick free-kick and launch a quick counter-attack.

As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo deliberately blocked the front of the football, and when Ledesma kicked the ball out, he stretched out his foot to block, and the ball hit his leg and bounced back!

The Lazio fans in the stands blew up and they let out angry shouts.

Ledesma, who was in charge of teeing off, turned around and picked up the football, and once again planned to send it quickly, but when he looked up and found where Cristiano Ronaldo was still in the way, he was on fire at that time! He went up and pushed the Portuguese away in an attempt to re-penalize the ball.

Unexpectedly, after the Portuguese was pushed by him, he fell to the ground very exaggeratedly, opened his arms, and shouted, which really did enough to make a scene......

He was reminding the referee: He pushed me! He pushed me! Hurry up, referee! Give him a card! Look how he treats me!

Sure enough, the referee on duty hurriedly blew the whistle to stop the game.

Players from both sides also came around, with Manchester United players complaining about Cristiano Ronaldo, believing that Ledesma had violated their team-mates, while Lazio players supported Ledesma and accused Cristiano Ronaldo of clearly faking a fall.

Pushing and shoving each other began to increase.

If it weren't for the referee's forcible intervention, I was afraid that the two sides would still fight...... "fake fall" is the most hated thing on the court, because this is a kind of deception, and it is a very bad deception.

Why Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't have a good voice, because he faked a fall in the Premier League, so that the referees focused on taking care of him in the end, and his first reaction after falling was not a foul by the opponent, but to see if he faked a fall, even if he was really violated by the opponent. Most of the referees will think that he faked a fall, and let the other party go, so that the Portuguese suffered a dumb loss, and he couldn't say what he was suffering.

Therefore, the Lazio players are understandably angry -! Obviously, you blocked our normal kick-off first, and you were pushed away and faked falling! Sue first when you play the wicked! Fuck you!

Naturally, they had to fight for Rydersmarza.

In the end, Ledesma received a yellow card for this push, as well as Gotze who hit Rooney with his head.

Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo, who deliberately blocked Lazio's free-kick, also received a yellow card.

But obviously, his yellow card is worth it......

When the referee intervenes. When the yellow cards were shown to the players on both sides, Chang Sheng was shouting from the sidelines: "What the are you entangled with them? Let's get back to playing! Let the game go on, let the game go on! ”

He was heartbroken to see his players wasting their time on conflict.

Although this clash will be taken into account in stoppage time, if the clash wastes three minutes. It's impossible to add three more minutes of stoppage time to the original one...... can make up for one more minute, which can be regarded as the professionalism of the referee team......

It was at this time that assistant coach Di Matteo came up and said to Chang Sheng: "Chang, this yellow card from Ledesma will make him miss the second leg of the game......

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Di Matteo.

Di Matteo nodded to him, indicating that his stats were fine.

Chang Sheng gritted his teeth and scolded: "Times-Ao!" ”

As Lazio's full-time defensive midfielder, Ledesma has a heavy defensive task in the game. So eating cards is commonplace.

However, he has not been sent off directly after receiving a red card so far, so his defensive actions are quite clean, at least there is no malicious injury.

According to UEFA rules, the Champions League is in the main match. Initially, three yellow cards were automatically suspended for one match.

Ledesma had already received three yellow cards in the group stage, so he was also suspended for one game.

In the knockout stages, he received another yellow card.

And according to UEFA rules, after three yellow cards and a one-game suspension. It becomes two yellow cards and one suspension, which means that the fifth yellow card will be automatically suspended for one game.

Ledesma had four yellow cards before.

Now this one is the fifth.

Follow the rules. He's going to be suspended for one game and won't be able to play the next leg at Old Trafford......

David Silva is injured, Luka Modric is injured, and Ledesma is suspended......

It's bad.

For Lazio, the second leg will be very difficult......

Of course, if you surrender early, you don't have to think about it so much. All you need to do is close your eyes and enjoy the rape of fate......

But how could Chang Sheng surrender early?

As long as you can still put together eleven people to play, you won't admit defeat if you win!

Unless he loses because he doesn't have enough people, the rules of football sentence him to lose.

※※※

Just when Chang Sheng was scolding his mother on the sidelines, subtitles also appeared on the TV screen.

Ledesma received a yellow card, along with a line of small print below the yellow card captions: "Absent from the next game".

In the close-up, Ledesma apparently did not know he would miss the next game, forgetting that he already had four yellow cards on him.

Although before each game, the assistant coach will remind every player that he has a few yellow cards now, should he pay attention to it in the game, do not take the initiative to provoke the referee, and do not do anything that is easy to eat yellow cards.

But when the game comes to this, there is only a flame of anger in the head, and there is no reason, it is really difficult to make Ledesma know that he is actually suspended with a yellow card before pushing Cristiano Ronaldo away......

And just like that, after Modric could miss the next leg, Ledesma was also confirmed to be absent......

Even if Lazio can win this match, what about the next leg?

Lazio fans can't shout, they are deeply worried about the future of their team.
