Chapter 174: Disaster and blessings depend on each other!

After Manchester United took the lead, although they were more patient, the players still worked very hard on the court, especially the "Little Warcraft" who had already scored a goal, who fought very bravely on the court.

Lukaku is very clear that the final effect of the team's tough battle will be, mainly depends on his performance on the court. If he can score another goal, then Manchester United will basically win this game. On the contrary... 1:0 is the most unsafe score. As long as Sevilla scores one goal, Manchester United will be eliminated!

At this time, Manchester United can breathe a little relieved in the midfield and backcourt. As an offensive player and as an arrow for the team's offense, Lukaku really cannot relax. He even needs to keep putting pressure on his opponent's defense until the next goal appears.

Lukaku fought fiercely, but Sevilla has too many defensive players. In the entanglement with his opponent, every time Lukaku tried to rush to the top or grab the point, he would have more than one defensive player around him to guard him, and he was squeezed by his opponent again and again and again, losing balance and falling to the ground.

Even Manchester United supporters think that today's game is probably the hardest and most difficult time since "Little Warcraft" joined Manchester United, and many people even began to worry.

"Romelu really worked hard today. The first half of the game has not ended yet. According to my observation, he has fallen to the ground at least ten times! For thin or normal players, the risk of falling to the ground is not very high, but for Romelu, his height and weight are all here. If something unexpected happens to fall like this, he will be injured."

Sometimes, things in the world come from whatever you are afraid of!

The commentator expressed his concerns not long after. When the game reached 41 minutes, Lukaku met his opponent in a fight with his opponent. As a result, Sevilla's defensive player Denmark defender Simon Kyar had a small mouth in his cheekbones, while Lukaku had a broken eyebrows. After the on-site inspection, he still needed a stitch!

When Mourinho asked about his injury, Lukaku, who was sitting on the lawn on the sidelines, was waiting for stitches to sew stitches and grinned: "Boss, I have no problem. Let's hold on for a little while. After I sew stitches to stop bleeding, I will definitely be able to play in the second half."

Mourinho still admires Lukaku's tenacity. He patted Lukaku on the shoulder and smiled: "Romelu, have you forgotten our tactical arrangements before the game? You have done everything you can. Next, let's wait and see how your teammates use the advantages you create to win!"

Well!

At this time, Lukaku remembered that before this game, Mourinho had already arranged a detailed response strategy for Manchester United, including some changes after the team took the lead... Lead one ball and continue to attack. Regardless of whether the advantage can be expanded in the first half, he will fight a defensive counterattack in the second half.

And if you have a defensive counterattack... it doesn't matter if I have it or not!

In other words, my mission in this game has been completed and I don’t need to play in the second half!

Thinking of this, Lukaku quickly shouted to Steve McNally: "Team doctor, anesthetics! Give me anesthetics!"

Manchester United's chief team doctor laughed: "Romelu, didn't you just say you wouldn't get anesthetic stitches?"

Lukaku chuckled awkwardly: "Just... don't you think I can still play in the second half? Now I don't have to play anymore, so of course I have to take anesthetics! Use needles and threads to penetrate the flesh, do you think it really doesn't hurt?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The people around Lukaku laughed loudly, and Mourinho also focused on the field. Seeing that the team had adjusted to a defensive style, Sevilla did not dare to attack, so he was not in a hurry to replace people. Anyway, it was only two or three minutes. If you can not expose your tactical ideas, then don’t expose it for the time being!

Manchester United players on the court were also calm and unhurried. They all knew the team's tactical arrangements. If they only led one goal in the first half, the team would play a defensive counterattack in the second half, because as the remaining time became less and less, Sevilla, who was at a disadvantage, would inevitably push out the attack, so Manchester United only had to play a defensive counterattack.

Originally, Mourinho's tactical arrangement was based on the current game situation. In the second half, he would send Martial to replace Lukaku and form the speed attack line of Yang Xiaozhuang, Rashford and Martial.

At that time, as long as Sevilla dares to push it out and Manchester United hits out the speed when they get a counterattack opportunity, Sevilla will have countless ways to die!

Soon the rest of the first half was spent. Manchester United temporarily scored 3:3 with a total score of 3:3, but the advantage of the number of goals away from home was that they entered the halftime break.

During the halftime break, Lukaku, who had already sewed the needle, raised his chest and looked like a hero and wandered around the locker room. Manchester United players also greeted him with a smile and asked if his wound hurt.

In general, the home team's locker room atmosphere is surprisingly harmonious, and it is impossible to see that Manchester United is at all nervous in this crucial game.

Mourinho just said a few simple words, reminding him of the tactical arrangements for the second half that he had already mentioned before. The situation of the game was completely within his expectations. There was no need to say anything more at this time. Let the players relax their mindset and rest for a while. This is better than anything else.

After the intermission, both sides returned to the field...

"It's a substitution! It seems that although Lukaku has undergone needle treatment, he still left the game. The person who replaced him is Martial! In this way, our offensive tactics will change again, and China Yang will serve as a pseudo-center on the court!"

After the second half of the game started again, the situation did change some changes... Sevilla began to attack!

As soon as Manchester United's formation shrinks back, Sevilla's formation presses forward. This is also a choice they made in desperation. If they cannot score a goal away, Sevilla will be eliminated in the current situation. So... there is no choice!

The problem is that Manchester United, which has changed its lineup and has changed its tactics to fight the pseudo-center, has the speed of the attack line, which is simply that Yang Xiaozhuang, the main body of the Rocket, has brought two thrusters Rashford and Martial, and a group of teammates behind him are ready to "ignite" anytime and anywhere.

Such a Manchester United... is almost invincible in defensive counterattack!

In the 50th minute, Wan Bisaka directly intercepted the opponent's wide horizontal transfer, and then kicked the ball towards the top of the frontcourt arc. At this time, Yang Xiaozhuang, who had just left the center circle, turned around and rushed forward. The ball fell down... The person arrived!

Stop the ball... Chase... Shoot!
