After falling behind two goals, Manchester United has fallen into a very difficult situation.

This is different from falling behind with one goal. If you only concede one goal, Ferguson and Manchester United players will still be able to accept this result.

After all, I only lost one goal away, and I only need to score another goal when I return to the home court to equalize the overall score.

But what if you are two goals behind?

Being two goals behind means they have to score two goals when they return to their home court to equalize the score and also keep their opponent from scoring.

If they scored one goal first and Manchester City scored the away game, everything would be over. Not only will the total score gap be further widened, but Manchester City also has one away goal. Even if Manchester United scored two goals in the remaining game time and tied the total score to 3:3, it would be useless.

Manchester United will still be eliminated because of few away goals.

The key is that the mental impact of one goal behind and two goals on Manchester United players is completely different, resulting in different psychological states of Manchester United players in the next round.

After conceding a goal, Manchester United players were actually not too panicked. Coupled with Ferguson's timely adjustments, Manchester United withstood Manchester City's fierce offensive.

But after losing this second goal, Manchester United's morale began to shake...

Ferguson has no good countermeasures for this.

In the league, Manchester United was left by as many as eight points away by Manchester City, and only theoretical possibilities remain.

In the Champions League, Manchester City led two goals in the first leg of the semi-finals, and there is little hope of advancing to the finals...

Ferguson never expected that at the end of his coaching career, he and Manchester United would encounter glory.

He always wanted a glorious retirement.

Now it seems that it may be difficult to achieve...

※※※

Manchester City did not relax just because they scored two goals.

After celebrating, they started the game again and launched a fierce offensive against Manchester United's goal.

This kind of momentum that never gives up is what Manchester City's opponents fear the most, because their opponent Manchester City is a team that does not know how to satisfy, and a beast that cannot be filled.

They will never stop and will keep pressing themselves.

It will be very tiring to play against Manchester City.

Manchester United feels very stressed now, and their morale is unstable after just conceding the ball...

In the 82nd minute, Gareth Barry scored the third goal for the team.

"3:0! Manchester City leads Manchester United 3:0! I think it can be announced in advance that Manchester City has entered the Champions League final!"

John Motson shouted excitedly.

Alan Hansen did not object to his statement.

"This must be a heavy blow to Manchester United supporters! When there was no hope of competing for the championship in the domestic league, he was eliminated by his arch-rivaled enemy in the Champions League semi-finals..."

Meanwhile, there were huge cheers in the stands at Manchester City Stadium, as if a volcano had erupted.

This is the long-suppressed emotions in Manchester City fans.

As the first football team to represent the city of Manchester, Manchester City has always believed that they are the orthodox of Manchester football, but the most successful and famous is their city rival Manchester United. So many people in the world believe that Manchester United is the orthodox of Manchester football, but in fact, Manchester United is an outsider...

It’s just that they are more successful and more famous.

This has always made loyal Manchester City fans very upset.

But what if you are unhappy? If you are not strong enough, you will have to be honestly pressed down and have no days to turn over.

Until the Abu Dhabi consortium came, until the glory came, until Benitez came.

Only then did Manchester City change so dramatically that they didn't dare to think about it.

From then on, the pattern of Manchester football will be rewritten!

This season's double defeat to Manchester United in the league and the Champions League is perhaps a landmark event.

Manchester City fans cheered in the stands, mocking Manchester United, who had already reached the cliff.

As mortal enemies in the city, they do not need to consider their opponent's feelings, nor do they need to give them some face. How vicious should mock and curse be? It's vicious...

At this time, Manchester United fans could only stand in the stands and remain silent.

They can't say back because even if they say back, the sound is completely unheard and meaningless. In addition, this is Manchester City's territory, and they say back here is asking for death.

Another very important reason is that they lost three goals in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, which really made them unable to accept it. Now they are in pain and frustrated, just staring at the center of the stadium and not caring about responding to the provocations of Manchester City fans...

Ferguson sat in his seat and after conceding the ball, he didn't even get up from this position.

He just sat, chewing gum in his mouth, looking at the court with a flushed face.

He did not show any extreme actions, but for some reason, many people felt a little sad when they saw Ferguson's scene through the TV.

The once powerful coach is also old.

There are talents in the country and have been leading the way for three or five years.

"Maybe...Ferguson should seriously consider retirement. Although he had expressed his desire to retire before, he never really made up his mind..." John Motson saw Ferguson staring at the stadium with a red face and sighed. "The era that belongs to him is over. Or, the era that belongs to Manchester United is about to end..."

When Manchester United players were feeling sad about conceding three goals, Manchester City players were celebrating the third goal. They knew very well that if they could win Manchester United 3-0 in the first leg, then Manchester City would enter the finals early. The second leg semi-final prize with Manchester United lost meaning and had no suspense at all.

In this way, they will face the next game with a relatively relaxed attitude.

In addition, this 3-0 game against Manchester United will also help them continue Manchester City's unbeaten season in the league.

After all, they don't have to worry about the second round.

"It's really unexpected that when Ibrahimovic was suspended for a red card, Manchester City not only did not encounter any difficulties in this game, but instead defeated Manchester United with three goals! I think with Manchester City's current performance and strength, they can compete for the European championship - if they can successfully win the cup in the end, I wouldn't be too surprised..." John Motson said.

"Neither can I. But can they really win the championship? The semi-finals and the finals are completely different. Before the finals, they can still treat each knockout match as an ordinary UEFA Champions League match. But the finals are completely different from any previous UEFA Champions League match. More attention may affect the performance of the players from before the start of the game, especially this team has never played in the Champions League final..." Alan Hansen did not agree with John Motterson's statement.

"Many teams with final experience play in the finals again, which is a serious test for them, let alone teams with no final experience..."

"That's true." John Motterson recognized Alan Hansen's statement. "Manchester United won the championship in the summer of 2008 and reached the Champions League final in 2009. They reached the final for two consecutive years, but Manchester United eventually lost to Barcelona... So every final is a unique game with no reference."

Before the game was over, the commentator and the guests had already begun to discuss Manchester City's finals.

They all think there is no suspense in this game.

They are right.

For the rest of the time, Benitez made adjustments to the team's tactics, from offense to defense.

But it is not the kind of defensive defense that completely retracts, but the defensive counterattack.

He replaced Berbatov and Godin. The three central defenders strengthened the defense in the middle, while the glory was at the forefront and was responsible for counterattacking.

In this way, it will be difficult for Manchester United to score even one goal in a short period of time.

In the end, after three minutes of injury time, Manchester United failed to score even a goal that saved face.

They lost 0:3 away to Manchester City, and they lost neatly.

This score also means that their hopes of turning the tables at home are already very, very slim.

After the reform of the Champions League, only La Coruna in the 2003-2004 season was able to turn the tables in the second leg when she was three goals behind in the first leg. They lost 1:4 away in the first leg. At that time, everyone thought AC Milan must have advanced. They took another solid step on the road to defending the champion. La Coruna was completely impossible for La Coruna to stop the European champion's iron hoof.

But after returning to his home court, the whole team of La Coruña was like a chicken blood.

In the end, the reversal was completed 4:0!

La Coruña will be the object of Manchester United's learning, but the chance of this is too low. This example is just a good example after the Champions League reform.

More often than not, the incident of La Coruna reversing and eliminating AC Milan can only be attributed to "God" or "luck".

There is no technical and tactical aspect for Manchester United to refer to.

Do you have to tell Manchester United players that as long as they go to church sincerely and pray to God every day, they can get God’s favor in the next round of the game, so that they can be lucky to play whatever they want in the game, and just swing a kick at Manchester City’s goal, so that they can enter the football...

Doing this will probably make the team's morale even worse...

※※※

When the game ended, Manchester City players celebrated wildly, as if they were celebrating that they had reached the finals.

Manchester United players hurriedly left the stadium with their heads down, and they were unwilling to stay on this stadium for a second.

Manchester United fans in the stands also left the game early before the game ended.

Now in the stands, it is the world of Manchester City fans!
Chapter completed!
