Chapter 880: The Penalty Held?!
Walker's red card caused chaos at the Kruyinf Arena, and after the referee dealt with the players, he came to the sidelines and faced Pep Guardiola with a yellow card.
Pep Guardiola stared at the referee fiercely.
This is how he expresses his displeasure.
The referee's decision was irrevocable, and Tadic stood at the penalty spot with the disdain of the Manchester City players.
He's going to take the penalty.
The atmosphere at the Kruyinf Arena was tense and some timid Manchester City and Ajax fans were blindfolded.
Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson watched Li Chuanqi as he jumped around on the goal line.
A super hunch has appeared!
Li Chuanqi took a deep breath and moved his head slightly to the left!
Edson happily looked at him with an OK.
Tadic, who was standing behind the football, turned his head strangely and followed Edson's gaze to find Li Chuanqi.
What made him feel strange was that Li Chuanqi actually gave him a thumbs up!
Nima!
What does that mean?!
This is mocking me just now...... That's the experience is good or not!
Can you say you haven't done that?
Tadic took a deep breath and slapped himself in the face a few times to calm himself down.
"Tadic!"
De Jong yelled at Tadic: "Believe in yourself! ”
Tadic didn't look back and gestured to him with an OK.
"Drop! ……”
The referee blew the whistle and Tadic slowly ran towards the football!
The Kruyinf Arena fell silent, and a pin drop could be heard.
"Right! It must be on the right! ”
Edson suddenly stopped throbbing, his eyes fixed on Tadic!
"Smack! ……”
Tadic's right foot kicked the ball and Ederson jumped to his feet and pounced on his right!
The ball leaves the inside of Tadic's right foot and flies towards the left side of the goal!
There was no surprise in Tadic's eyes, but a face full of shock and disappointment!
How can it be?!
The next moment, Ederson pushed with his right hand, causing the ball to change direction and fly towards the baseline!
"Nope! ……”
When the football flew off the line, the Ajax fans let out a huge cry of pain.
"Hold on!"
There was ecstasy in the eyes of the Manchester City fans, and Ederson held the penalty!
Far away in the city of Manchester, half of the city was filled with a huge cheer!
At the same time, loud invective erupted in the other half of the city.
The Manchester City sports commentator shouted: "Edson! Great Edson! He saved the penalty! ”
The Dutch National Sports Narration commentator said bitterly: "Tadic...... He didn't even score a penalty?! Ajax missed their best chance to score...... From heaven to hell, it only takes a few seconds......
A few seconds ago, Tadic was the hero of Ajax, and a few seconds later, he was the sinner of Ajax......"
The Sky Sports commentator exclaimed, "Amazing! Edson guessed the right direction! Throw the ball out! ”
Manchester City Fans' Forum is jubilant:
"Edson! Ederson is the greatest goalkeeper in Manchester City's history! ”
"I love you...... Edson! I'm going to have a baby for you! ”
"Great Manchester City! Great Edson! ”
Ajax and Premier League giants fans shouted and cursed:
"Damn Tadic!"
"Why let him take the penalty?!"
"What is Ten Hag doing?!"
"From heaven to hell, Tadic is the sinner of Ajax!"
"Maybe it was because this penalty didn't go in, which led to Ajax's elimination!"
"Tadic, give you a chance, you're useless......"
……
In the Kruyinf Arena, Edson got up from the turf, howled, and rushed towards Li Chuanqi!
The Manchester City player hugged Ederson excitedly......
Tadic, who missed the penalty, knelt on the turf in pain, feeling extremely frustrated and painful......
The Ajax players had despair in their eyes, God, the penalty didn't go in?!
Ten Hag yelled at the disappointed players, signalling that they could not let the ball hurt their morale.
Guardiola waved his fist excitedly and defended! Damn it! We held it!
There was jubilation behind him!
Walker, who was squatting in the players' tunnel, beat his chest excitedly, and then followed the staff into the locker room.
With Walker sent off, will City make changes to their line-up?
This is what the media and fans are concerned about.
Many believe Pep Guardiola could remove a midfielder and replace him with a full-back.
However, to their surprise, Guardiola did not make adjustments to the lineup and played a three-centre-back tactic!
"Well done! Pep Guardiola, I've got your back! ”
"The three central defenders are good! Very good! ”
"Pep Guardiola believes so much in his backline?!"
……
On the pitch, the Ajax players threw their disappointment on the turf and bounced back into the game.
The Manchester City players were also quickly getting into the groove and they were scrappy.
If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing!
Feltman took a corner into the City box and Ederson leapt high and punched Ziyech in the head to knock the ball out of the box!
De Jong from outside the box volleys directly!
The soccer ball is over the crossbar!
Football was back at the feet of the City players, with Ajax pressing ferociously high in midfield.
The scene was extremely tragic, and the Manchester City players fell on the turf with screams from time to time.
Ajax used a foul to curb City's passing.
Surprisingly, the referee did not play a card, but only gave a verbal warning to the fouling player.
Guardiola's face was gloomy, and he knew that someone didn't want them to reach the final!
The results of the reported incident have not yet been punished, and the media and fans believe that UEFA can only take it lightly, after all, if you want to punish Manchester City, you will have to punish other European giants.
This made UEFA very annoyed and aggrieved.
They're going to take their anger out on City.
Not letting Manchester City go to the final is the best way to do it.
On the pitch, the Manchester City players encouraged each other that tonight they would not only defeat the existing enemy of Ajax, but more importantly, defeat the bigger enemy!
In the twenty-fourth minute of the first half, Li Chuanqi quickly moved to the middle and attracted the center of defense to the middle.
After Gundogan received De Bruyne's cross on the right, he found himself in front of him!
What else to say!
Gundogan moves quickly along the touchline with the football!
No way!
What are you doing?
Ajax fans looked at their backline with surprise on their faces.
Tagliafico hurriedly gave up his defense of Li Chuanqi and wanted to defend Gundogan.
"Smack! ……”
As soon as Tagliafico moved, Gundogan immediately passed the ball!
The football flew towards Li Chuanqi!
Li Chuanqi stayed in the dormitory and stepped forward to knock the football back to De Bruyne, who followed up!
"Smack! ……”
De Bruyne directly kicked through the pass!
Gundogan flew forward, his center of gravity dropped and he shoveled a pass, and the football flew towards the middle!
Li Chuanqi carried two defenders, controlled the football with difficulty, and then passed back with one kick!
"Peng! ……”
David Silva shoots from outside the box!
The soccer ball flies towards the goal!
Ajax goalkeeper Onana jumped to his feet and bravely lifted the ball over the crossbar!
