Two Hundred and Thirty-One Good Luck
Every Monaco fan at the Louis II Stadium seemed to be in a frenzy. Sigrid and her sisters hugged and screamed, and Prince Albert and Debondan raised their arms in excitement. It was obvious that they had lost their way.
"Gareth Bale scored! Monaco extended their lead to 3:0!
OMG! It was an unbelievable game, Monaco overcame Manchester United and now have an even bigger advantage!
Even if Manchester United can score a goal, it can only tie the total score, then the game will go into extra time!
Now Manchester United is completely cornered by Monaco!
In half a month, three games, will Manchester United lose what they have worked so hard for all season?
We were impressed by the courage, unity and tactical execution that Monaco showed at the crucial moment, and frankly, such a Monaco deserved to advance!
3:0.
The overall score is 4:3.
Looking back at this time, Vertonghen's header in the first leg was worth a thousand dollars! "
Ferguson's gloomy face appeared dark red, and it was obvious that the stormy waves in his heart made his blood churn.
The fighting power of Monaco was indeed shocking enough. Manchester United, who was at a disadvantage from the beginning of the game, never closed the gap between the two teams.
Based on this alone, Monaco is actually much better today than Manchester United's performance at Old Trafford in the first leg. In the second half of Old Trafford, Monaco finally smoothed the gap between the two sides!
Although Monaco scored a goal to expand the lead, there was also bad news. Moro fell to the ground and was diagnosed by the team doctor. He could not continue the game!
The referee gave Neville a yellow card, but Monaco had to passively make substitutions.
After Situ Yunbing was excited, he quickly calmed down. Muratori was arranged by him to appear. At the same time, he also asked Mangani to warm up and be ready to appear at any time.
When Moro came off the field, he was greeted with warm applause from the entire Monaco fans.
Even when Morrow came off the court, he waved his fist in the direction of the stands, with a firm expression on his face.
He is a Monaco child and a Monaco fighter. He and Muratori are Monaco's local players who may not have the greatest potential, but have the most infectious will to fight.
After Muratori came on stage, he played at left back, and Situ Yunbing made a tactical change gesture, allowing Monaco to retreat and shrink the defense line for a defensive counterattack.
Ferguson also made a last-ditch effort, Scholes was replaced, and the handsome brother Berbatov came on stage to strengthen the striker.
As a result, Manchester United has become a 442 formation.
Midfielders Carrick and Park Ji-sung were in charge of offense and defense, Ryan Giggs on the left, Valencia on the right, Rooney and Berbatov charged in front to find opportunities.
Situ Yunbing's expression became majestic again, paying close attention to every detail on the field.
There are only about 10 minutes left in the game, and Manchester United's counterattack is still on schedule. In fact, the reason why Manchester United is a big team is that they can always ensure the integrity of the system.
Fans who have more experience watching the game, the intuitive feeling about the counterattack is the accumulation of offensive players. For example, when Mourinho launched a Jedi counterattack, he was under the tutelage of Robson in Barcelona. Miracle, which also led to him falling behind even when he resolutely used defensive counter-attack tactics.
But it will put more offensive force to try to reverse the opponent.
The same is true for a lot of mid-tier and lower-tier teams, with more midfielders and more forwards to try and turn things around.
But Manchester United will not.
The most classic 1999 Champions League reversal of Bayern Munich, even at the last minute, could not see Manchester United weakening the defense to the extreme and investing in the offense, which ensured their smooth defense and offensive organization.
Ferguson strengthens the front line, but does not completely ignore the defense and go wild, perhaps in his philosophy, that is equivalent to killing himself.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Giggs received Carrick's pass from the left. After the ball quickly started to get rid of Falcao, Giggs was pressed by Modesto on the wing. He calmly slammed the ball across. Knocked to Rooney, who took the initiative to run to receive it. The latter sent the ball diagonally to the bottom line on the wing. Giggs made a cross from the bottom and Berbatov followed up in the middle.
Very conventional and traditional style of play. The two central defenders on Monaco's side attacked the handsome brother. Vertonghen forced Berbatov to take off and headed to make a clearance.
Berbatov doesn't have time to get into the game. Whether his performance will be good or bad, no one can predict. Maybe Manchester United only needs him to score one goal, no matter how he uses it.
When the ball came to Monaco, Monaco began to slow down the pace of the game. The tightness of Manchester United's defense was somewhat unexpected. After all, they have played too many games in such a situation, and their opponents are often desperate to attack. By weakening the defense, their counter-attack will be more efficient.
But United did not reveal any obvious flaws in the defense, which led Monaco to adopt a strategy of consumption and delay.
When Falcao was fouled by Evra on the right side of the frontcourt, Situ Yunbing used the last substitution.
Mangani came on, replacing Falcao.
Manchester United has weakened the midfield attack to a certain extent, and prefers their traditional flanks to fly together, then Situ Yunbing will prescribe the right medicine, go to Mangani to sit in the front middle of the penalty area, and then liberate Nkuru and Perez to help defend the border. Road is blocked.
There are still counter-attack forces ahead, Gareth Bell and Suarez, Situ Yunbing still have to keep one hand after all, and both teams have used up the substitution quota.
If Manchester United can score a goal to tie the total score, then the game will go into extra time, so Monaco retains two strikers at this time just in case, but after this substitution, Situ Yunbing gave Gareth- Bale and Suarez also gestured to let their positions fall back 15 yards. Before United failed to score, the importance of defense was far more than the cost-effectiveness of the threat of counterattacks.
Ferguson ordered the team to speed up the rhythm, but Manchester United has obviously become impatient in their mentality. They moved the tough confrontation of the Premier League to the Champions League, and the referee did not buy it.
After being awarded a foul in consecutive defenses, Ferguson was also a little annoyed. Seeing that stoppage time is coming soon, there is really not much time left for Manchester United.
Monaco are united to strengthen their defense, but also pay special attention to the possession of the ball, delay time, and have no sense of shame, even if this is a great stage, but changing to a great team is now Monaco, and in all likelihood it will be like this Do.
Every Monaco fan in the stands was looking forward to the end of the game, and the frustration of Manchester United fans was palpable.
In the second minute of injury time, when Rooney was in the penalty area to receive a long pass from Evra's center and backcourt, he fought with Benatia but fell in the penalty area. Rooney did not hear the referee's whistle and quickly He got up and rushed to question the referee.
He thought Benatia had bumped him while scrambling for a header, but the referee thought it was a reasonable physical contact.
Ferguson did not go to reason with the fourth official, perhaps the reason was too reluctant.
Rooney was reluctant, the referee stopped the game, and then showed Rooney a second yellow card, followed by a dazzling red card!
"Rooney was shown a second yellow card for rude words to the referee and he was sent off!
Manchester United has been lacking a true spiritual leader in the post-Kean era. Rooney's irascible temper has improved over the years, but today he has not helped Manchester United to turn the tide in the predicament. Veterans such as Ferdinand and Neville, Giggs are also Failed to perform in a surprising state.
Game time is running out, Manchester United need to score, but Monaco has the ball. "
When Rooney was sent off, Ferguson couldn't help but snap at him: "What the hell do you think?"
Rooney is working hard, but if the direction of his efforts is wrong, then everything will be in vain.
When Gareth Bell was protecting the ball on the wing and being pressed by Neville and Valencia, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded, and the game was over!
Gareth Bell immediately ignored the ball under his feet, turned around and opened his arms and ran around the field with his teammates!
Deafening cheers erupted from the Louis II Stadium!
Monaco fans embraced and celebrated, jumping up and down like a cult feast of mad dance!
The Manchester United fans shook their heads in despair, sighed, and left sadly.
Situ Yunbing fell to the ground with his legs soft after hearing the final whistle that sounded like the sound of the sound of nature, clenched his fists and lowered his head, roaring and venting all the pressure from the game and from his dreams!
Alonzo, Petty, every coach from Monaco ran over to surround Situ Yunbing, they bent over and hugged him, telling him again and again "BOSS, we won!"
"We are in the Champions League semi-finals!"
"We reversed the Red Devils!"
"We did it!"
The Monaco players on the field also gave each other high fives, hugged, hooked their shoulders and laughed loudly!
De Gea looked at the fans in the stands, took off his gloves and raised his fists at them, smiling proudly.
Gareth Bale ran into the stands and hugged his family.
When Situ Yunbing stood up from the ground, he didn't bother to tidy up his slightly messy hairstyle, walked out of the crowd and tried to calm down. He was going to shake hands with Ferguson after the game.
Ferguson was really waiting for him on the sidelines. Compared with the first match between Ferguson and Mourinho in the Champions League knockout game, Ferguson accused Porto of playing too dirty. Monaco's performance today is enough to win the respect of the opponent in the initial impression.
And in the past two weeks, Fleet Street has also repeatedly mentioned that Manchester United is interested in some players from Monaco. No matter who it is, whether it is true or false, no matter who it is, Ferguson admires the Chinese young coach from the bottom of his heart, because he has cultivated a great player. A very good player, his ability is worthy of respect.
Situ Yunbing and Ferguson officially shook hands after the game. Many reporters around were taking pictures, and the two only had the same sentence for each other.
"Good luck."
