Chapter Seventy-One: The Disaster Brought by the Yellow Card! (2.22 Guarantee2)
Chapter Seventy-One: The Disaster Brought by the Yellow Card!
United did not score again for the remainder of the first half, and although they had begun to take the initiative in their hands, the attack was also stopped by Inter.
Of course, Inter Milan also paid a heavy price, first Papastathopoulos kicked Di Maria in the 38th minute and received a yellow card, then Sneijder played Fleni in the 40th minute and received a yellow card, and then on the 41st minute, Ranozia grabbed Ganso after a free kick and received Inter Milan's third yellow card of the game for overplay.
Although Inter Milan paid a lot of price, the score of 0:2 remained until half-time, otherwise they might have conceded again in the final minutes of the first half.
Even so, Inter Milan's fate is in jeopardy, not to mention the 2-0 lead of Manchester United in the away game, even if Inter Milan can finally turn the tables around, Manchester United will have enough away goals.
What's more, this season's "Red Devils" have not yet suffered defeat, and it is not so easy for Inter Milan to reverse the game even if they are playing at home.
At halftime, Simon? Grayson taught his disciples: "Boys, you played well in the first half, but do you know how we are going to play in the second half? Oh, and I'll remind you, we've got two away goals and we still have a two-goal advantage! Do you know what to do? ”
"Hahaha...... Defend and counterattack! ”
"Defend and counterattack!"
"Boss, it's time for us to play defensive counterattacks in the second half, right?"
Simon? Grayson smiled and nodded, "That's right." In the second half we were going to play defensive counter-attack, the Italians always said they were the best at counter-attacking tactics, today we had a chance to show them how we played defensive counter-attack, what to do we also practiced in training, I don't need to say any more, right? ”
"Boss, no problem!"
"We remember!"
Manchester United's players are smiling and relaxed. Grayson then said, "Remember! If we win Inter Milan, we will reach the Champions League final, and the St. Bride will be ours! Got it? ”
"Understood!"
After the players yelled, Simon? Grayson nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand: "Okay." Now everyone have a good rest. Get ready for the forty-five minutes of the second half! ”
Simon? Grayson did not remind his players that Inter Milan's right-backs Papastathopoulos and Ranozia had already received yellow cards, and he believed his team should know how to take advantage of this, and Ganso and Di Maria were very clever to add it. Now Rooney also seems to have opened his mind. If they don't hit such a big target, they will wait to be criticized.
Inter Milan did not make any changes to their line-up at half-time. It's not that Ranieri doesn't want to adjust, it's that he really doesn't have any good cards in his hand, and these players on the Inter Milan bench are a cut short of Manchester United in terms of strength. Such a critical moment is simply not to be trusted.
Take advantage of your illness and kill you!
This has always been the strategy implemented by the Manchester United team under "Simon the Brutal", and they will not show mercy when facing opponents, otherwise they would not have scored so many goals in the game that all opponents would have feared them.
Just seven minutes into the second half, United had the chance to counter-attack, the ball was first kicked by Ganso to the feet of Shaq on the right halfway, and then Shaq made a long lateral move to pass the ball to Di Maria on the left.
After the Argentine winger controlled the ball, he swooped forward ferociously along the flank, and the yellow card on Papastathopoulos was still posted by him, and now he will naturally take advantage of it.
Di Maria took the ball to the left side of the Inter Milan penalty area and stopped, facing Papastathopoulos, the Argentine actually showed off his footwork, passing feints, stepping on the bicycle with his right foot, and then buckling back with his left foot to cut laterally, and the belly made the Greek right-back dare not kick at all.
But Di Maria just controlled the tempo, and suddenly he passed the ball sideways!
"Whoosh!"
The ball flew directly to the hungry Inter Milan left side of the small penalty area, Shaq, who had come all the way from the midfield, arrived in time, pushed the arch of his left foot, and the ball flew into the bottom left corner of the Inter Milan goal...... 3:0!
"Hat-trick! Shaq actually scored another goal! Alas, I don't know what to say about this 22-year-old English talent, and although I don't want to praise him as an opponent, I have to say that I have never seen or heard of a player who can score a hat-trick as he pleases. ”
In the stands of the away team, the Manchester United fans began to get busy again, the fans in the front row below were responsible for putting away the cloth paintings, and the fans above carried out a long cloth scroll, which was not too troublesome to spread downward, and they were still smiling very happily...... We are now leading Inter Milan 3:0, and the two tickets to the Champions League final will not run away, right?
On the huge canvas, the white "112" has become a thorn in the side of the Inter Milan fans in the Meazza Stadium!
But no matter how much they hate it in their hearts, Inter Milan fans have to be impressed by Shaq's scoring efficiency, this guy is as easy as drinking a saliva to score a goal, it's really ...... It's really ...... Perverted!
Papastathopoulos saw Di Maria's pass turn into an assist again, his face was full of helpless expression, if he didn't have a yellow card on the ball just now, he would dare to stop it fiercely, but the skills of the South American players' feet are too small, you look at the ball kicked over and the last thing you hit is their feet, and when you don't eat a yellow card, forget it, now he really doesn't dare to kick easily!
With a three-goal lead away from home, Manchester United's players thought they had the chance to win, and their mentality involuntarily relaxed. And Inter Milan's ability to reach the last four of the Champions League this season really shows how good their form is, even if Manchester United only gave their opponents a chance, they immediately took it.
On 61 minutes, Inter Milan left-back Ali? Sissoko crossed the ball from the left near the bottom line and the ball flew into the United penalty area. Angel was there with all three men, and it seemed that the pass was not a threat at all.
However, an Inter Milan player wearing a blue and black arrow shirt rushed out from behind, and he also fell to the ground and slid out of the tackle, this person is the Argentine striker Zarate.
Zarate's goalscoring ability is not very strong. But the Argentine player has always been diligent on the field. Whenever he could get a goal, he's going to try to fight and this time...... He's got it!
"Smack!"
Salat stabbed the ball with the tip of his right foot and De Gea reacted quickly to the ground and fished it out, but it was too low and too close. The moment De Gea fell to the ground, the ball slipped under his armpit......
"Ah――――――――――h
A loud roar erupted from the ground at the Meazza Stadium. Like a wild beast roaring. The Inter fans finally found an outlet, and the emotions they had been holding back for 60 minutes exploded.
"The ball is in! Sarah's brilliant tackle! At 1:3, we got a ball back! It's just a ball, though. But we can also see hope! ”
Inter Milan were overjoyed, with the white-haired Ranieri also throwing punches on the sidelines, and if the game had been shaved away from home, they would have had any chance of doing a miracle.
Right now...... There is a glimmer of hope!
Even if they draw or lose just one goal at home, Inter Milan have a chance to go to Old Trafford!
At this moment, Inter Milan is full of courage!
After the game restarted, Inter Milan's spirit was obviously different, they were more decisive in attacking, more active in defense, and even used three people to defend against Shaq, not giving Shaq another chance to score, this pervert...... It's so dangerous!
Inter Milan's defense against Shaq was already arranged, and now with all his strength, Shaq is under even more pressure.
However, Manchester United's attacking power is indeed very strong, and Shaq is indeed the attacking core of the whole team, but this does not mean that Manchester United does not have other attackers, such as ...... Rooney!
In the 77th minute, Ganso suddenly ran from behind to the left side to cooperate with Di Maria, and loosened the ball outside the big penalty area on the left side of Inter Milan, while Rooney used Shaq's cover to take advantage of Shaq's attraction of Inter Milan's heavy troops in the right penalty area, and ran all the way to the small penalty line in the middle of Inter Milan.
When Rooney rushed up, Ranozia had already seen him and followed, but he didn't dare to make a big move when he saw Rooney running, and the yellow card added to him made him shrink.
By the time Bodia ran up, the Spanish centre-back had no way to stop Rooney by normal means, and could only fall to the ground and shovel Rooney at the moment when he was about to shoot......
Ball, no tackle!
"Chubby" jumped up and gave way, but his left foot scraped Bodia's thigh......
"Di---"
The German referee pointed to the penalty spot again...... Penalty kick!
Yes!?
Another penalty!?
Inter Milan fans were completely dumbfounded, they had just ignited the flame of hope, this ...... I'm going to be pinched!?
After Rooney got up, he patted Shaq who came over: "Man, you kick this ball!" ”
"Wayne, this ball is your ......"
"No!" Rooney didn't wait for Shaq to finish, then shook his head and smiled: "Shaq, I like to watch those fans get tossed because of your goals, ha, don't let me down, you kid!" ”
Hearing Rooney say this, Shaq didn't have any other thoughts, and after holding the ball to the penalty spot, he turned his head to look at the referee......
Cesar's eyes widened: Damn, I don't believe that your kid is still playing penalty kicks this time! Even if you kick like that, I'll have to bet in advance this time!
"Tick-"
When the whistle blew, Shaq didn't turn his head to look at the goal, stood there and raised his right leg directly, and the ball flew into the goal on the right side of Inter Milan with a "bang...... 4:1!
Inter Milan fans felt like their hearts were going to be broken, and they were beaten 4-1 by Manchester United at their home stadium, and this game was ...... It's a fucking disaster! (To be continued......)
