Chapter 0251 Champions League life and death battle

However, for Ye Su, what he needs to consider at present is not what he has set the five major league points record. His top priority with Manchester United is to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals that will start on the evening of April 18, local time in the UK.

Because he lost away in the first leg, Manchester United had no other way except to win in this game, and could not even let Monaco score more goals, otherwise even if Manchester United wins the game, they may be eliminated.

If Manchester United wants to advance to the Champions League semi-finals, they must have two goals or more goals in the second leg, or win with a score of 1:0, 2:1 or 3:2.

In fact, it is not only Manchester United that is unfavorable in the Champions League.

Another Premier League team that advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals lost 0-1 away in the first leg to Atletico Madrid. Although it was only a small loss of 1 goal, Atletico Madrid is stronger than the Blue Fox in terms of strength and experience.

Therefore, it is quite difficult for the Blue Fox to turn the tables at the Imperial Power Stadium in the second round.

In another strong dialogue, Bayern lost 1:2 to Real Madrid led by Ronaldo at home. The Portuguese superstar dominated that game, and both Real Madrid's goals were scored by Ronaldo.

However, Real Madrid's top star has scored 4 goals in the Champions League this season, and it seems that it is difficult to compete with Rooney and Messi for the Golden Boot of the Champions League this season.

Losing the game at home, the opponent is a super giant like Real Madrid. Major European spinach companies are not optimistic about Bayern's prospects.

Of course, the worst situation is Barcelona led by Messi. The opponent of the Universe team in the quarterfinals is Juventus, the first leg of the game was played at Allianz Stadium, and Barcelona once again got used to being awkward and lost with a score of 0:3.

As for this score, anyone with sensible knowledge that Barcelona's Champions League trip this season has come to an end.

However, Barcelona fans are full of confidence in their team, because in the quarterfinals, Barcelona still reversed and advanced when they lost 0:4 away in the first leg, not to mention that they are only three goals behind now. As long as they return to home court and defeat Juventus with a score of 4:0 or 5:1, they can advance to the semi-finals.

However, everyone knows that a giant team like Juventus is not comparable to a nouveau riche team like Paris Saint-Germain. With the experience of the Zebras in Europe, they will definitely not be able to play against Barcelona when they go away. With Juventus' defense, with their full defense, Barcelona wants to defeat their opponents more than three goals, which is basically daydreaming.

Of course, there is a super reversal in the top 16, and no one dares to assert that Barcelona has been eliminated.

Looking at the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match, the result is still confusing. The suspense of the four matches is also left to the second round. Whoever wins to death has to wait until the second round is over before the conclusion can be drawn.

……………………

At 2:45 am on April 19, 2017, Beijing time, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was played in two games, with the Red Devils Manchester United sitting at Old Trafford Stadium, facing Monaco in Ligue 1, and Real Madrid meeting Bayern Munich at the Bernabeu.

Both games focused on the world's attention, and the two games were played by super giants.

Manchester United's game is a battle between Manchester United, the overlord of today's European football world, and Monaco, the European youth team. With Manchester United's influence around the world, this game naturally attracted much attention.

The game at the Bernabeu is a direct match between two of the four strongest teams in the world today. The two super giants have countless fans around the world, so they naturally pay close attention to the future of their teams in the Champions League this season.

Monaco arrived in Manchester early on April 17 local time. But until the moment before the game, Manchester United finished their pre-match warm-up training and returned to the locker room, they received Monaco's starting lineup.

Monaco still plays in the 442 formation, goalkeeper Subacic, defense line from left to right is Benjamin Mendy, Gemosen, Camille Glic and Almami Toure, the four midfielders from left to right are Lemar, Baccarioco, Moutinho and Bernardo Silva, and the two forwards are Falcao and Lacazette.

Compared with the starting lineup a week ago at the Louis II Stadium, this starting lineup has only two changes: the left-back is replaced by veteran Raji to young player Mendy, and the midfielder is replaced by Baccarioco.

Manchester United's starting lineup has also changed a few times compared to a week ago.

In goalkeeper position, De Gea ushered in his third start in a week, but Ye Su made a big rotation on the back line. He played two consecutive games in a row. His physical condition is currently in poor condition. Ye Su had to change to another defense line, with Ashley Young, Kulibali, Smalling and Valencia forming a new defense line.

The three midfielders are Kanter, Fellaini and De Bruyne, while the tridents of the forward are Rooney, Harry Kane and Rashford.

……………………

"Good evening for all the audiences in front of the TV! This is the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. We are about to usher in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals this season."

"This is also a focus game that has attracted worldwide attention, with Manchester United facing Monaco at home."

"It can be seen that the players of both teams have appeared in the player channel."

"Two teams, led by the referee, walked into the stadium one after another."

...

When Rooney led Manchester United players to the referee and walked into Old Trafford Stadium, thunderous cheers burst out throughout the stadium.

Especially for Rooney who was walking in the front of the team, they shouted his name wildly.

He is the perfect king of this stadium!

When guessing the side, Rooney won the serve, which was also a strategy formulated before the game.

The game time is 7:45 pm, and no matter which side it is, it has little impact on the game. On the contrary, after getting the serve, this will be more beneficial to Manchester United's subsequent offense.

After winning the serve, Rooney returned to the halftime where Manchester United players were, while Rooney and Harry Kane entered the middle circle to prepare for serving.

Rooney did not gather his teammates to give a lecture to boost morale.

All these tasks have been done in the locker room, and now you only need to concentrate on preparing for the competition.

……………………

The game officially began with the referee's whistle.

Harry Kane drove the ball out, and Rooney immediately turned around and passed it to the midfield, handed it to De Bruyne, and rushed forward quickly.

Under the pressure from the opponent's players, De Bruyne once again passed the ball back to the defense line and moved to the right. Kyle Walker got the ball and dribbled the ball forward.

Rooney raised his hand to the right side of Monaco's 30-meter area to ask for the ball. Kyle Walker passed the ball before Lemar came to defend.

After getting the ball on the right line, Rooney quickly turned around and dribbled the ball and broke away from Mendy's defense.

"Roone's start-up speed is very fast, and Benjamin Mendy was suddenly freed by him."

"Look at Manchester United's attack."

...

……………………

Rooney dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and kept observing Monaco's defensive formation. He saw a gap between Glic and Gemosen, and goalkeeper Subacic's position was also biased to the right.

Rooney saw the opportunity to shoot. After he caught up with the ball like an arrow, his body tilted slightly, stood still with his left foot and swung his right foot. His whole body seemed to be a full bow, and the ball under his feet was the arrow he shot out.

Only a muffled bang was heard at the scene, and the ball quickly passed through Baccaryoko like a cannonball, crossed between two Monaco central defenders, Gemosen and Glic, and quickly landed to the left side of the goal.

The ball climbed and fell at an extremely fast speed, and the speed was very fast. Monaco goalkeeper Subasic also responded immediately, but he was still one step slower and was always out of reach. He could only watch the arc falling to the left of the goal in despair.

But unfortunately, this shot was a little bit short of it, almost rubbing the left post and sliding out the door.

There was a burst of exclamation at the entire Old Trafford Stadium, and countless home team fans suddenly had their hearts beat faster at this moment!

No one would have thought that Rooney would suddenly shoot such a long-range shot, and the angle was so powerful that he was quite tricky.

It can be said that as long as you go a little further, this goal will be a must-scoring goal!

……………………

Rooney watched the ball slide past the goal and roared with depression, but he walked back quickly, constantly encouraging the morale of the fans on the court and the teammates around him.

Although he didn't say anything, his actions were already telling everyone to kill them!

Crazy cheers broke out in the audience!

Manchester United players also ran over to high-five Rooney!

Such a shot is too encouraging!

In front of the away head coach's seat, Jaldin was obviously shocked by Rooney's sudden long-range shot.

This shot was 27 or 28 meters away from the goal, and the angle was very tricky, so he almost scored the goal.

Yarding must have been scared, and kept waving on the sidelines nervously, shouting at the players loudly.

Needless to think about it, he must be signaling the players to strengthen their defense against Rooney and not give him such a chance to shoot from a long time.

This is very fatal!

If the long shot just now went inside a little more, Monaco would be miserable!

Just next to Yarding, Ye Su was applauding Rooney's shot. Ye Su knew that Yarding must have been disturbed by Rooney's long shot.

Such a shooting opportunity will come twice, with Rooney's strength, he will definitely score a goal.

Monaco has to be on guard!
Chapter completed!
