Chapter 539: There is a dead end!

Because the Champions League quarter-match between Manchester United and Manchester City can be regarded as a "civil war" in the city of Manchester, these two teams will not have the hardships of travel at all, and the two teams can also do their best in two rounds of games.

Therefore, on the day of the game on April 21, the mouths between the "Red Devils" and "Blue Moon" were still continuing. Even outside the Manchester City Stadium, the fans of both sides were divided into blue and red sides, and they were just separated from each other by a group of local policemen, yelling at each other's opponents.

This time, the entire city of Manchester was shut down. It was only Wednesday, but the city was completely stagnant because of this game.

The "characteristics" of the city of Manchester have really opened the eyes of journalists from all over Europe. The fans of both sides seem to be about to fight, but the police on duty are leisurely walking among the fans of both sides. In this situation...experienced!

For Manchester, although the atmosphere seems very tense in every "Manchester City derby", it is just tense. Fans on both sides can still control their emotions. After all, many families will be divided into two factions on this day. The hostile fan camp may have their own parents, brothers and sisters among them, so they can't do it!

The fans of both sides were not suppressed by their opponents in terms of momentum, but they actually did not help much in the victory or defeat of this game!

The game time is set at 19:45 that night, but fans have already started demonstrations between them since the morning. As more and more fans gathered, the city stadium also began to arrange for both sides to enter the stadium at noon.

After as many as 55,000 Manchester City fans entered their home court, they immediately launched a provocation to Manchester United fans with only 2,750 away games. They completely ignited the home atmosphere of the city stadium with crazy cheers and neat slogans.

Manchester United supporters who can enter the city stadium today are definitely the most hardcore and combat-oriented fans of the "Red Devils"!

However, facing Manchester City fans who are almost twenty times their own number, even if these Manchester United fans try their best to make the sounds that are much worse than their opponents, and both sides are not even at the same level.

Fortunately... Manchester United's performance is very impressive!

This game was a key game for Manchester City, and there was an accident on the court in just 2 minutes and 47 seconds...

A long pass from Manchester United by Adam Myers was directly sent to Manchester City's left penalty area. He immediately ran to Stones at the landing point. Before Martial, he pushed the ball out. The ball flew far in the air and was almost at the center.

It can be said that Stones' header clearance this time is still very good!

However, there was a problem with Selsey Roberto, who was responsible for the reception. Espanyol's style of play was a bit soft, and Manchester United's right-back Wan Bissaka's back inserted into the back was very sudden. As a result, the ball was blocked by Wan Bissaka in the air. When the ball fell, Manchester United's right-back followed and directly rebounded from the outside of his right foot, sending the ball straight into the penalty area in the middle of Manchester City.

Yang Xiaozhuang was running horizontally on the penalty area line. As soon as he stopped the ball lightly, he wiped the ball to his right front. When he accelerated and rushed to chase the ball, Laporte just inserted between Yang Xiaozhuang and the ball from the right, and Yang Xiaozhuang also directly hit Laporte's back.

"Beep————”

Macedonian referee Alexander Stavrev blew the whistle directly and pointed his hand at the penalty spot!

Stop the foul!

This blocking foul is really too obvious!

Manchester City players immediately rushed to the referee and began to explain constantly, but this could not affect the referee's decision. The purpose of Manchester City players is not to make the referee change the referee's judgment, but hope that the referee can consider that this is a game between two Premier League teams and hope that the referee's judgment is not so strict.

"Shit!"

Guardiola off the court was so angry that she cursed and stood up and kicked the pure water bottle beside her to the side... Such a foul would not be awarded if it was a Premier League game. To put it more, it would be just a set ball on the penalty area line, or even more likely that it would not be a penalty.

But...but...

What a fucking damn it!

Guardiola is still very clear about how dangerous Manchester United's "King" is when moving in small spaces, because Chinese Yang's pace of handling the ball is really too fast, and his movements are also fast. In that case just now, Laporte just wanted to complete the front defense the moment his opponent received the ball, but in the end... it became a blocking foul!

The penalty kick was directly sent to Manchester City goal by Yang Xiaozhuang without any surprises. He kicked the ball to the left, while Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson rushed directly to the right... 0:1!

Manchester City, who played at home, not only failed to use its home advantage to score first, but instead conceded the goal first. The total score of both sides has become 1:4, and Manchester United also has an away goal.

"In the confrontation between the two sides, Manchester United has completely gained the upper hand. Guardiola had previously said that they had an advantage in away goals, but now they not only have the advantage in away goals, but also fell behind with a total score of 1:4. They must score three goals in the next ninety minutes of game time, and at the same time ensure that their goal will not be broken by Manchester United again, otherwise they will have no hope of playing the playoffs."

"Mar United's Chinese Yang is really terrifying. This number one star in world football today and the most efficient super shooter in football history. His personal ability is really scary! It was just that when he touched the ball in that moment, Laporte's foul, and he finally took advantage of this penalty kick to score the ball."

"As long as China Yang is on the court, Manchester United will never lack attack power and will always score goals in the game. The world's number one star has really strong personal abilities. He has a very strong ability to dominate the game by relying on his own strength!"

"Now Guardiola and his team are facing huge difficulties. They must score and recover three goals in the remaining game time, but it is really difficult to do in front of the Chinese Yang who is so brave!"

Manchester City stars did not blame Laporte. They were too familiar with the Manchester United "King" next door. In the situation just now, let alone Laporte, it would be difficult for anyone to react at that moment. Even if they dodge, it would not cause a blocking foul. Next, let Chinese Yang drive the ball into his own penalty area and face the goalkeeper directly. Manchester City's goal is definitely in danger.

Now, the most important thing is not to consider the goals you have already lost, but to strictly implement the head coach's tactical arrangements and strive to score more goals in the remaining game time!

After the game started again, Manchester City players began to move forward quickly through the passing and control tactics they were good at, trying to threaten Manchester United's goal. However, Solskjaer had already arranged defensive tactics for his team. Facing the Manchester City attack line composed of three people, Haaland, Koeman and Rashford, the opponent did not get any advantage.

As both sides only use tentative offenses but focus on defense, the game has also reached a stalemate. Even though Manchester United and Manchester City have created some shots, they have never brought real threats to their opponents.

In the 42nd minute, as the first half was about to end, Manchester City's sideways shifted the ball while advancing. De Bruyne's kick to Rashford on the left was blocked by Wan Bissaka. The ball was sent to Rayford, who was retracing and receiving.

Rayford, who was retreating, turned his back to Manchester City goal, but he stopped the ball with his right foot, then turned around and swung his left foot up...bang!

The ball flew out from Rayford's feet and flew directly to the right side of the top of Manchester City's arc. The moment the ball landed and was about to bounce, Yang Xiaozhuang, who was shot and killed, stopped directly!

When Rayford passed the ball, Yang Xiaozhuang was still in the middle circle, but in the short time when the ball flew in the air, he ran for more than 20 meters on the court. Not only did he catch up with the ball first, but he also threw down all Manchester City's defensive players.

Everything that happened next seemed as smooth as silky...

Yang Xiaozhuang dribbled the ball forward. When Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson attacked, he suddenly pushed the ball lightly and sent the ball into the goal from the lower right corner of Manchester City's goal...0:2!

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This time, Yang Xiaozhuang became a little excited. When he scored the first goal before, because the goal was just a penalty kick, Yang Xiaozhuang didn't celebrate too much, and the game had just begun at that time.

But now... it's different!

With this goal, Manchester United is now leading with a total score of 5:1, and the first half of this game is about to end. If Manchester City wants to win the Champions League quarter-finals, they must score 5 goals in the remaining game time, and at the same time, they cannot allow Manchester United to score another goal. Even if "Blue Moon" does explode next, they also scored 4 goals... that's not OK!

If only 4 goals were scored in the remaining game time, Manchester City will eventually be eliminated with a score of 5:5 due to the number of away goals!

Death!

The situation in front of Manchester City has now become a dead end!

In the entire city stadium, except for Manchester United, the home fans are completely silent now. Of course, they know how bad the team is facing now, but what can they do for their team now?

Cheer?

Encourage?

What's the point of these...?

Too difficult!

It's really too difficult!

If Manchester City still wants to qualify now, they must score 5 goals in the remaining time... one in 10 minutes!

Facing the powerful "Red Devils", even if they are fighting at home, they have to score a goal in ten minutes, which is really in super hell mode!

Under the court, Guardiola, who was sitting in his seat, had no expression on his face, and there was a little helplessness in his eyes... Could it be that I really can't defeat this opponent in the city?

Guardiola is also quite helpless now. Since he came to the Premier League, although he has created a luxurious and powerful "Blue Moon", they have never been able to beat their opponents in the same city. After thinking about it, he only thought of one reason... Manchester City has no Chinese Yang!

In fact, Guardiola has also privately contacted Yang Xiaozhuang's agent, hoping to use the "Blue Moon" almost unlimited banknotes to instigate Manchester United's "King" back. However, although the fat man in Italy did not say anything, Manchester United quickly offered Yang Xiaozhuang the world's number one high salary.

Judging from Manchester United's decision alone, Guardiola understands what the "Red Devils" thinks. They can spare no expense in order to retain China Yang!

It doesn’t matter what salary structure or something. Manchester United now clearly won’t let its “king” be attracted to other clubs because of money!

The huge "Red Devil" can't afford to support a "king"?

How is that possible!

This season, Manchester United's salary expenditure was close to 180 million pounds, and Yang Xiaozhuang himself accounted for 35.65 million pounds, which is almost one-fifth. However, no one inside the "Red Devils" would be dissatisfied with this, because his contribution to Manchester United is worthy of the world's number one high-tech provided by the club!

Even Manchester United players feel that it is not unacceptable if the "King" gets more salary. After all, a goal counts almost half of the team's total goals, and can also give teammates a lot of assists. His role on the team is really not measured by money.

The first half ended quickly, and the score was frozen at 0:2. Manchester City, who played at home, not only fell behind two goals in this game, but even fell behind with a total score of 1:5. At this time, except for Manchester City fans who were still supporting their team, other neutrals had already sentenced them to death!
Chapter completed!
