Chapter 182 Advance to the Champions League semi-finals!

Old Trafford.

Amid the cheers of Manchester United fans, Ibrahimovic put his arm around Chu Feng's shoulders and excitedly pumped his fist in celebration.

“The ball goes in!”

"Manchester United didn't give Bayern a chance to equalize!"

"Ibrahimovic, who hadn't played for several weeks, did not fall into a slump. Instead, he found the form that carried Manchester United forward last season and scored a goal to help Manchester United widen the score gap!"

Zhan Jun's expression was full of relief, and he couldn't stop smiling as he looked at Chu Feng on the screen.

After calming down, he continued to explain: "Bayern was forced into a desperate situation and had to press forward to participate in the attack, especially the right winger Vidal. However, after he left the defensive area, the pressure on Chu Feng dropped sharply."

"Manchester United was able to use the counterattack to complete a breakthrough on the wing!"

"The screen shows the replay of what happened just now. The positions of Xiaochu and Kimmich are almost the same. The latter is even closer to the ball, but he failed to get the ball."

"There can be no hesitation on the pitch. A half-ball like this must be fought for with all our strength."

Zhang Lu nodded beside him: "Indeed."

The comments in the live broadcast room fell like snowflakes, flooding the entire screen. - [Manchester United is going to advance to the semi-finals! I never thought of it before the game! ] - [2-1 in the first leg, 0-2 in the second leg, as long as Bayern can score a goal, they can drag the game into overtime! ] - [Heynckes's pre-match arrangement was too conservative. He replaced James Rodriguez when they fell behind, and the defensive strength of the front court dropped again, falling into a vicious circle. ] - [Xiao Chu's speed is really good, much better than at the beginning of the season! ] - [It is said that the explosive speed of players is basically a talent, and it is rare for them to grow so fast like him! ] - [.]

At the side of the court at this time.

Faria couldn't help but clench his fists and waved them. "Boss, what adjustments should we make next? Should we continue to strengthen our defense?"

"No, control the midfield. As long as we can lock down James, it will be difficult for Bayern to move forward."

"Our weakest point is the back line. We cannot give Bayern players the opportunity to get into the penalty area. Don't underestimate Bayern's ability to play against the wind, especially with Heynckes on the coaching bench."

Mourinho shook his head slightly.

He was not too excited about the goal because he knew that the real danger was still to come. Manchester United had not even one foot in the semi-finals.

Not far next door.

Heynckes seemed to have just undergone strenuous exercise, and his hairstyle was no longer neat and tidy.

He suddenly sighed, "There is no tactical significance in making substitutions now. We can only let the boys on the field adjust themselves."

The assistant coach paused when he heard this.

Due to winning the Bundesliga title ahead of schedule, the mentality of Bayern players is somewhat unbalanced, and whether they can adjust is still a question.

He couldn't help but look at Kimmich.

Bayern's rising star seemed a little lonely, standing there with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Be more resolute in your defensive attitude. If you think you can't get the ball, then you definitely can't get the ball!"

With Neuer absent due to injury, second captain Muller had to step up. He clapped his hands hard to attract the attention of his teammates and shouted hoarsely.

"Don't be afraid. Are our opponents strong? Absolutely not!"

Lewandowski also roared.

He has yet to win a Champions League title in his career, so he certainly doesn’t want to fall on the road to the semi-finals.

We must not lose today! Bayern players have also experienced many ups and downs, and they quickly dispelled their frustration and walked quickly to their positions, ready to kick off.

Not far away.

As the Manchester United players' celebration came to an end, Chu Feng reminded them seriously: "There are less than 45 minutes left in the game. As long as we can get through this last period, we can advance to the semi-finals."

"For now, let's not worry about who our next opponent will be, and don't even think about whether we can make it to the finals!"

“We just have to do what we have now.”

Everyone is eager to win, and Chu Feng is no exception.

Although it sounds a bit unrealistic, he wants to give it a try and win the Premier League and Champions League titles in his first year.

"rest assured!"

Phil Jones had a resolute expression and nodded vigorously.

He recalled what Ferguson once said: "Phil has great influence, natural instincts, the ability to read the game, and a strong fighting spirit."

He had just joined Manchester United at the time and was inevitably proud of receiving such high praise.

But the subsequent experiences made him miserable. First, he sat on the bench for several years, and then suffered consecutive injuries.

Ferdinand also called him a "leech that only sucks blood".

Now that he has finally got the chance, he will never let go no matter what the cost.

Several veterans looked at each other and patted the young players on the shoulders, as if to convey their confidence to each other.

Soon, the game resumed.

Bayern did not rush to attack after the kick-off, but quickly passed the ball in the midfield and backcourt, stabilizing the rhythm as required by Heynckes.

As time went on, Bayern seemed to find their offensive rhythm and gradually moved forward.

James Rodriguez is still the core of the organization, but Vidal on the wing did not make a deep run forward, but moved closer to Chu Feng.

It is obvious that even if Bayern gives up attacking from the flanks, they will still have to lock down Chu Feng to prevent another quick counterattack and goal.

In fact, Heynckes' consideration makes sense. After all, Bayern is only one goal behind. Even if the offensive intensity is low, there is still a chance to open up the situation from the center or left.

But if Manchester United scores another goal, I'm afraid the players' morale will fall to the bottom.

That’s when there will be real despair.

From God's perspective.

Manchester United's overall formation compressed and retreated, building a complete defensive system in their own half, leaving only Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt as a counterattack point.

Chu Feng and Rashford both retreated to participate in the defense, assisting Ashley Young and Valencia in defense to prevent them from suffering losses in one-on-one situations.

The next ten minutes.

The two teams engaged in a fierce battle in the midfield, and Bayern seized several opportunities to pass the ball to the feet of the strikers.

But due to strong interference, they failed to threaten Manchester United's goal, and De Gea continued to make saves.

As for the low-level mistakes that Bayern fans expected, they did not appear on Manchester United's guardian.

68th minute of the game.

Martinez received the pass from Bernat and passed it to Ribery in front of him with his back turned.

The scarred man gently pushed Rashford forward when he was rushing towards him.

"Through the crotch! Handle it very calmly!"

"This is the value of a veteran. He can often make key moves at critical moments!"

"Bayern's attack from the left is coming!"

Immediately following.

The Bayern tank roared again, with Ribery rushing forward with the ball.

Valencia stepped forward decisively.

He couldn't let Ribery connect with the players in the middle, nor could he let Ribery go down the flank to send a cross.

A showdown between two veterans! A few seconds later.

The two of them collided headlong, making a dull sound that made one's teeth ache, and they stumbled at the same time.

Ribery gritted his teeth, used his hands and feet to maintain his balance, and continued to dribble forward.

"Break through with force!"

"This is Bayern's scar warrior!"

In the sight of tens of thousands of fans.

Ribery burst out with terrifying speed, like a high-speed tank, and headed straight for the baseline.

The other Bayern players also started to move.

Lewandowski suddenly moved back and took Smalling out of the penalty area.

Muller and Robben moved to the right side of the penalty area and besieged Phil Jones.

Near the bottom line.

Ribery made a cross.

A rainbow seemed to appear in the restricted area, and the end point of the trajectory was exactly on the right side of the restricted area.

"Great pass!"

"Ribery opened the game with his personal ability!"

As the screen switched rapidly, Muller and Robben appeared in the center of the screen.

The latter entangled Phil Jones, and the former took advantage of the momentum to score.

Ding! With a crisp sound, the football hit the outside of the right goal post and bounced out of the bottom line.

There were sudden exclamations at Old Trafford.

Bayern fans covered their heads in disbelief and wished they could tear down the goal.

Manchester United fans praised loudly.

The goal is the 12th man on the field! The crossbar of Manchester United in the first round made them hate it for a long time, and now they finally found a chance to take revenge.

"Bayern's luck is not good!"

"It was a great opportunity that was missed. If Muller's header had been more in the right direction, both teams would have been back to the same starting line!"

"Unfortunately, there are no ifs on the field, Bayern can only swallow the bitter fruit!"

On the green field.

Even though Muller is a born optimist, he couldn't help feeling a little powerless.

He started in the two previous games that eliminated Manchester United and is considered a regular at Old Trafford.

But today it felt different.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Manchester United are different now, especially mentally.

As for Bayern, after Lahm left, it seems that they are no longer the invincible giant.

Moreover, in the Bundesliga environment, basically no team can pose a threat to them, and the players gradually become arrogant.

"Stop sighing! Hurry up and get back on defense, the game isn't over yet!"

Robben wiped the sweat from his forehead and said viciously.

His playing style determines that his career will not be too long, and he is expected to retire in the next two seasons, so he wants to win the Champions League again before leaving.

And this season is the season with the greatest opportunities.

Lewandowski also patted Muller on the shoulder, expressing his determination with action.

Muller took a deep breath and tightened the captain's armband on his left arm. There was a time when he was as frustrated as he is today, but at that time there were Kahn, Van Bommel, Lahm and Neuer.

But now they are not on the court, and I have to take on the responsibility of captaincy.

Mueller waved his arms vigorously and quickly returned to his position.

Looking at the Bayern players who had regained their fighting spirit, Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The most important thing for a wealthy club is its foundation, because the club will always have ups and downs, but as long as the foundation is there, the spirit will still be there.

Although football is becoming increasingly commercialized, it gives people the feeling that money is everything.

But that spirit is essential.

Bayern is strong, and Manchester United is not weak either.

Chu Feng's eyes met with his teammates' and they all clenched their fists at the same time.

"In the 70th minute of the game, Manchester United made a substitution, Lukaku replaced Ibrahimovic, McTominay replaced Lingard!"

"Mourinho has not given up the counterattack point in the frontcourt, and at the same time strengthened the defensive strength of the midfield. However, McTominay's mobility is not as good as Lingard, which may pose some hidden dangers."

"But this is already the most appropriate substitution plan. There are no extra defensive players on the bench."

"Bayern also made substitutions. The physical fitness of several veterans declined rapidly, and it was difficult for them to continue to provide effective breakthroughs."

"Wagner for Ribery!"

Before leaving the field, Ibrahimovic hugged the Manchester United players and said, "I don't want to see you concede a goal after I leave the field, so be alert!"

"Don't worry, Zlatan, maybe we'll score again after you leave the field."

Pogba made a joke with a grin.

“I’m looking forward to it!”

Ibrahimovic raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Soon the game resumed.

De Gea kicked the ball to the left side, Chu Feng and Vidal jumped up at the same time to grab the ball. Chu Feng used his taller height to pass the ball to the middle first.

McTominay received the ball and lightly cushioned it.

The football drew a beautiful arc and landed behind Bayern's defense line.

Lukaku and Boateng were like two bulls, engaging in a fierce confrontation. Finally, Lukaku made a sudden shot at the front of the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball slipped through the goal.

Bayern quickly responded.

77th minute of the game.

Ribery broke through the wing, but was pulled down by Valencia and paid the price with a yellow card.

"Pass it directly into the penalty area!"

"Lewandowski! Header!"

"De Gea!"

"A crucial save, Mustang Split Mane blocked the ball!"

84th minute of the game.

Kimmich made a run forward and after receiving the pass from James Rodriguez, he ran along the sideline. Chu Feng immediately turned around and followed up to defend.

The two started a speed contest on the wing.

Under the expectant gaze of Bayern fans.

Kimmich flashed into space and made a direct cross.

Chu Feng threw his body out without hesitation.

Bang! With a dull sound, the football was blocked out of the sideline.

Five minutes later.

Chu Feng advanced with the ball on the wing.

Under the tight defense of Vidal and Kimmich, he found a glimmer of space and cooperated with McTominay in the middle. Just as he was about to rush forward with the ball, he was tackled by Kimmich.

The referee's penalty was consistent and Kimmich was given a yellow card.

As the ball possession continues to overlap.

Everyone on the green field was exhausted, but they did not choose to give up. Instead, they continued to run despite their tired bodies.

Because everyone has a reason not to lose.

The last minute of injury time.

Martinez snatched the ball from McTominay's feet and passed it directly to J. Rodriguez in front of him.

James Rodriguez gritted his teeth and held on to Matic, then with a slight shake of his ankle, he lifted the ball into the penalty area.

"Robben!"

"Shovel shot!"

"Phil Jones blocked the ball with his body!"

"Both teams have fought to their limits! Bayern players have gone crazy. For them, not scoring a goal means failure!"

"The referee is looking at his watch! Bayern should only have one last corner kick chance!"

"Urayhil also entered the penalty area!"

On the side of the court.

Heynckes stood in the coaching command area, his eyes fixed on the penalty area.

Mourinho stood next to the fourth official. If the referee did not blow the whistle after the corner kick, he would probably protest immediately.

The 665.28 square meter penalty area, with 22 players in it, suddenly became extremely crowded.

James Rodriguez took a deep breath and kicked the ball hard in the middle with his right foot.

Bang! Followed by a muffled sound.

The football spun violently and headed straight for the center of the penalty area.

"I'll do it!"

De Gea roared, jumped high, raised his hands, and took the ball steadily with his emerald green gloves.

Then he was knocked to the ground by Lewandowski.

Even so he didn't let go.

Next second.

Beep-beep-beep- the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
