0139 A Tale of Two Cities(1/2)

Outside the penalty area, Rooney turned sideways, blocked Alaba with his body, and stopped the ball with his chest.

But just as Rooney stopped the ball and turned around and was about to get rid of Martinez, the referee blew the whistle at this time.

"The referee blew up a foul of Martinez from Bayern Munich. He had a clear pulling action when Rooney stopped the ball and turned around. But Rooney seemed very dissatisfied with the penalty because he had already started it, and obviously believed that the referee should follow the principle of offense favorable principles and should not whistle at that time."

"This time the penalty was indeed a bit unfavorable for Manchester United, because Rooney could have completely broken free from Martinez and dribbled into the penalty area, and then he directly formed a one-on-one strike, but now a very threatening attack was interrupted."

...

The referee of this game was a famous card-finding maniac. After Rooney protested slightly symbolically, he immediately ran to pick up the ball. He didn't want to foolishly get a yellow card. He was already carrying two yellow cards. If he got the cards, he would have to suspend the game.

After Rooney picked up the ball and threw it on the ground, Xun wanted to quickly get a free kick, but at this time the referee blew the whistle again and signaled him to stop, not to be fast, and he had to wait for the opponent to line up the wall.

Rooney, who had just rushed out like an arrow, could only smile bitterly and shake his head, and kept walking back.

This expression was also captured by live TV cameras, and the commentator obviously found it very interesting.

"Haha, Rooney is also very cunning. He wants to get a fast free kick, but it is obviously seen through by the referee. He did not give him such a chance, and he seemed to be hit. But I have to say that the free kick at this position is still very threatening."

"Rooney should be the penalty for Manchester United."

...

Rooney is Manchester United's number one free kick hand, and his free kick and corner kick are of good quality.

Since Ye Su coached Manchester United, Manchester United's number one set-piece player has been Rooney, and Mata is also one of the important penalty kicks. Of course, De Bruyne and others will occasionally take the penalty kicks.

Rooney and De Bruyne stand in horns, making it difficult to tell how to play.

"Who will come for both of us?" De Bruyne asked with concern.

Rooney looked up, glanced at the penalty area, and said, "I'll do it."

Rooney is Yesuqin's number one set-piece penalty picker and captain. After he clearly expressed his willingness to take the free kick, De Bruyne naturally would not argue with him. He smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I'll cover you."

Rooney replied, "Okay."

Rooney set up a wall of men in Bayern Munich, and the referee also left the penalty area and immediately blew the whistle, indicating that he could make a free throw.

Rooney and De Bruyne winked, the Belgian midfielder nodded slightly, rushed towards the ball, and Rooney followed closely behind and chased after him.

De Bruyne shot with a fake shot, while Rooney hit the ball in a real way. The football quickly shot out from Rooney's feet, crossed the wall, and drew an arc and landed at the back of the penalty area.

Bayern Munich's highs, Martinez and Lewandowski were both in the middle, focusing on guarding highs such as Maguire and Van Dijk, while Ram, who was defending the back point, was suddenly thrown away by Valdy.

Vardy's speed was not slow at all, which was fully reflected in his last game against Spanish side fast Marbernat. After throwing away Ram, Vardy jumped high in the left corner of the small penalty area.

At this moment, Vardy seemed to have jumped over the heads of the nearby Bayern defensive players, making people feel extremely tall and mighty, and there was a feeling of a god descending to earth. Facing Rooney's free kick, he directly hit the goal with a header.

After the ball hit Valdi's head at a very fast speed, it changed direction and directly hit Bayern Munich's goal.

“goa111111111111111111111111111111111111111!!!!!!!!!”

"In the 70th minute! Manchester United won another goal! A header from Tovaldi!"

After Vardy scored the goal, he pointed at Rooney from afar, signaling him to follow him out of the court and go to the sidelines to celebrate the goal.

De Bruyne and other teammates rushed forward.

"What an amazing jumping power! Vardy is not tall, but his jumping power is extremely amazing. Judging from the slow-motion replay of the entire goal, Rooney's free kick was very accurate, and Vardy also jumped very high. The cooperation between the two was very tacit, and Bayern Munich's defense line could not react at all."

"This is definitely a tacit cooperation between two players at once!"

Manchester United players gathered together on the sidelines, and everyone was celebrating the team's goals.

The goal was scored within three minutes of the game, and Manchester United has been passive in the field since then. Now, they have taken advantage of a free kick to win another goal, which is definitely a goal that makes Bayern Munich completely desperate.

2:0!

The total score has become 5:4!

Manchester United has three away goals in hand, and Bayern Munich must score two goals in a row to reverse. There is not much time left. Can Bayern Munich have a chance?

……………………

Ye Su turned around excitedly and slapped his assistants to celebrate with Giggs and other assistants. This goal can almost be said to have laid the foundation for the victory of the game.

So he quickly made a second substitution, replacing Martial with Ashley Young.

To be honest, Ye Su had no doubt about Martial's talent, but he had always been skeptical of his commitment to the game.

Martial is a very emotional person, and in most games, he cannot be regarded as a diligent player.

Although Ashley Young is ten years older than Martial, when it comes to professional attitude, Martial still needs to work hard to learn from Ashley Young.

Although Ashley Young is over 30 years old, there is no need to worry about the ability and attitude of this English left-wing player. He has excellent dribbling ability on the wing.

On the contrary, Martial performed a little unsatisfactory in both rounds.

What's more, what you need now is to stabilize your defense and launch a counterattack.

Guardiola had no choice. Five minutes later, he replaced Ribery with Murenno.

After all, the French winger is a veteran who is 33 years old. He played three games in a week, which is a serious test for his physical fitness.

It has to be said that Guardiola's substitution is quite targeted. After Mueller came on the court, Bayern Munich controlled the ball, causing them to start to threaten.

It was Lewandowski who received Alonso's cross in the penalty area and headed the ball to Mueller. The German striker made a push shot in front of the goal, winning a game for Bayern Munich.

In the following minutes, Bayern Munich had almost desperate attacks. Manchester United was also forced to be in a very embarrassing situation.

Ye Su even replaced Bruno Fernandez with Smalling and defended the penalty area completely.

Finally, the score was supported until the end of stoppage time.

……………………

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, thunderous cheers burst out at the entire Old Trafford Stadium. All the fans were celebrating the team's entry into the semi-finals in a frantically.

But the players on the court were a little exhausted. Even Rooney couldn't stop shaking his legs.

The pressure on the team in the final stage was too great, so great that Manchester United couldn't even fight back, so that Manchester United could only be forced to retreat to the goal.

This time, the team's defense was also very good, and in the end, he withstood the offensive pressure of Bayern Munich. Everyone tried their best, and no one was slacking off at all.

The final result was that Manchester United drew 5-5 with Bayern Munich, and then almost eliminated the Bundesliga South King with a away goal, which made Bayern Munich players look a little overjoyed.

Especially Lewandowski.

In fact, he performed very hard in this game, but did not show strong offensive strength. When Manchester United retreated at all, Lewandowski could not play his advantage, but instead players like Costa were even more threatening.

……………………

After resting for a while, Rooney took a breath and walked towards Lewandowski nearby.

"How is it? I'm right? Come to Old Trafford again, don't even think about going out alive." Rooney laughed and stretched out his right hand.

Lewandowski shook hands with Rooney a little depressed and said, "We are mainly too tired."

When they were at Allianz Stadium in the first leg, Bayern Munich played very well, and they were very interested in eating Manchester United in one go. But they had many defensive problems in that game, especially on the side of Bernat.

If that game was 4:2, and even Manchester United scored fewer goals, the game would be completely different.

But there is no regret medicine in this world.

If you lose, you lose!

"But don't be careless. You have tried your best to enter the semi-finals. Manchester United will not be easy when you meet other teams!" Lewandowski reminded kindly.

Rooney nodded. The teams that may advance to the Champions League semi-finals now have decided in addition to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which are playing at the same time as Manchester United and Bayern. In addition to Atletico Madrid's elimination of Barcelona, ​​the other two games will be decided tomorrow. However, no one is easy to deal with, whether it is Wolfsburg, Real Madrid, or Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain.

Of course, Rooney is also very clear that no matter who he can enter the Champions League semi-finals, it is definitely a symbol of strength. It is absolutely impossible to get to this point by luck alone.

However, Manchester United can defeat strong enemies all the way, and even if they reach this level, they will not be afraid of any opponent.

……………………

Soon, Manchester United's opponent in the Champions League semi-finals was also confirmed.

In the second leg of the quarterfinals, Manchester United and Atletico Madrid were the first to enter the Champions League semi-finals. On the second day, Manchester City defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1:0 at the Etihad Stadium, and Real Madrid showed the role of a superstar. Cristiano Ronaldo defeated Wolfsburg 3:0 at the Bernabeu, thus reversing the score of 3:2 and eliminating Langmai and heading to the Champions League semi-finals.

So, the two cities that were finally included in the Champions League semi-finals: Manchester and Madrid!

The final draw in the Champions League semi-finals both staged a two-city record: Manchester United vs. Atletico Madrid, Manchester City vs. Real Madrid!

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, thunderous cheers burst out at the entire Old Trafford Stadium. All the fans were celebrating the team's entry into the semi-finals in a frantically.

But the players on the court were a little exhausted. Even Rooney couldn't stop shaking his legs.
