As assistant referee Faria closed the door to the home team's locker room, the noise from the stadium suddenly stopped. Manchester United head coach Mourinho gave his disciple Van Kerry a big hug:"Kerry, you performed so well. Got it!"

"Simply world class!"

Pogba chimed in.

"Look at what you said, it’s simply cosmic!"

Van de Beek, a locker room atmosphere activist, praised

"That’s right, it’s simply cosmic!"

Other salted fish players said in unison.

On the contrary, Fan Carey, who was at the center of the topic, had a clear mind. He waved his hands and said:"I hope everyone will not take it lightly just because of the 3:0 lead in the first half. Our opponent is Barcelona, ​​and 3:0 is not enough to guarantee us. Advance, so I hope you can maintain your mental tension and excitement in the second half and give me enough support until I kill the game!"

Now Van Kerry is undoubtedly the spiritual leader in the Manchester United locker room, and his words and deeds can have a huge impact. The

Manchester United players, who were still a little relaxed, immediately realized that the game was only the end of the first half, and the only way to advance to the semi-finals was to wait until It will be revealed at the end of the game. In order not to be reversed by Barcelona, ​​we must continue to play according to the rhythm of the first half.

Mourinho, standing aside, was very pleased and proud of his disciple's rapid growth. His words were also Let yourself reduce unnecessary time expenditure, so that you can devote more time to the tactical arrangement of the game in the second half.

Barcelona, ​​which leads 3:0 in the first half and has no away goals, will definitely strengthen its offense in the second half, so it should be at the beginning Avoid his sharp edges, do a good job of defense, and wait for opportunities.

Judging from Van Carey's current competitive state, as long as he receives a pass from his teammate during the counterattack, the possibility of killing the game becomes infinite.

3:0 It seems very comfortable, but in fact there is a possibility of sudden death.

At the same time, in the visiting team's locker room, Messi, who has become accustomed to silence, glanced at his frustrated teammates, and rarely said:"0:3 is against every one of us. It is a shame for one person, but the score is irreversible and we are not powerless. Don't forget the 4:1 at home. As long as we score in the second half and get more away goals, Barcelona will still advance."

After that, Messi sat back in the chair, lowered his head and said nothing, as if he had never spoken. Iniesta, who wears the captain's armband, is a Grand Slam player in the Barcelona team. He joined the national team in 2010. The team reached the top of the world, and the national team suffered a humiliating exit from the group in 2014.

After Messi’s reminder, he found the key point, stood up, assumed the responsibility of captain, clapped his hands with all his strength, and faced his teammates in a provocative manner. Said:"We cannot be a disgrace! Goal! Advance to the Champions League semi-finals!"

"What Andres said is very correct, we cannot become a disgrace, and the best way is to advance to the semi-finals. As long as we get away goals, Manchester United will be the one to panic! Our opportunity has come!"

Pique also felt that the past half was a shame. He knew that if the game ended with the current score, it would definitely become a joke for the media and fans around the world. In order to change this situation, it became urgent to get away goals, so he cooperated Iniesta inflames teammates

※※※

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly. Many fans in the audience saw players from both sides entering the stadium from the tunnel before many fans in the audience had finished their burgers. The fanatical atmosphere at Old Trafford was restored from scratch. , like a mountain roaring and a tsunami

"Kerry! Kerry!! Kerry!!!"

When Van Kerry came to the stadium, overwhelming shouts swept the entire stadium instantly.

Van Kerry, who was in a very good mood, waved to greet the home fans, inciting the fans to create a more fanatical home atmosphere.

Messi, Busquets, Iniesta, etc. The players couldn't help but glance at the high-spirited Van Carey. They all raised their eyebrows and were very unhappy. They always felt that Van Carey had a chance to win. If this is the case, then we will make you extremely happy and sad!

Barcelona's stars looked at each other and said: The opponent sees the drive to advance in their eyes!

They form the Avengers and overthrow Manchester United!

"Beep~"

With the whistle of the referee Tilpan, the second half of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Manchester United and Barcelona was announced.

Messi, who received Suarez's kick, played very patiently. Passing the ball to Roberto on the right, he slowly approached and acted as an organizing midfielder, gradually organizing Barcelona's offense. In the second half of the game, just as Mourinho predicted, Barcelona stepped up its offense and tried to take advantage of Messi. And Iniesta's ability to create opportunities allowed Suarez to create opportunities.

The opportunity was created, but it was a pity that Suarez was unable to adjust his shooting aim under tight marking.

His shot either missed the goal post or went higher. Goal crossbar.

After several consecutive attacks without scoring, Barcelona took the lead in making personnel adjustments. Ousmane Dembele, who failed to kill the suspense at the Nou Camp, replaced captain Iniesta. The original 442 formation also changed. into 433.

The intention of this substitution adjustment is obvious. Valverde hopes that Dembele can penetrate Manchester United's defense on the wing. With Messi's support and organization, he can completely penetrate Manchester United's impregnable defense. The idea is good, but Dembele's physical confrontation ability is really bad.

He is a speedy and technical player. Once he gets close to him, he cannot start, and it does not have the effect that Valverde hopes to see. On the contrary, it almost leads to Manchester United's efficient counterattack.

Busk Ci, Roberto and Semedo all received yellow cards respectively, which also put huge pressure on Valverde.

The offense has been unable to score goals, and the defense has been frequently tested, and many defensive players have received yellow cards. He is now The worry is that the defense will concede the ball again.

If this is the case, then the possibility of promotion will be slim and the players' confidence will be damaged.

Continue to make personnel adjustments?

He doesn't know, so he has to continue to wait.

However, at this moment , Manchester United launched a quick counterattack, and Van Carey, who received the football, attracted enough defensive attention. He pulled the ball back half a step, and used the fleeting space to hand the ball to Lukaku, who was following up at high speed in the middle.

Lukaku advanced at high speed, like a speeding truck. Umtiti fought and retreated, staying the same to cope with the changes.

Obviously, this was a good choice.

Lukaku did not delay the fighter. The ball was passed to the right with the arch of his left foot. The broadcast screen switched and Ashraf, who was extremely fast, moved forward at high speed.

"Oops!!"

Valverde, who was standing in the coaching area of ​​the visiting team, felt his heart pounding and felt that something was not good!

Ashraf stopped repeatedly. Fan Carey and Lukaku were like two ghosts hitting the goal. If Ashraf passed the ball, If the ball is in place……

"aoaooaoaooaooooooo——"

A loud shout suddenly rang out from the sky above Old Trafford. Achraf, who was about 25 meters away from the baseline, slowed down, looked at his teammates' movements, and adjusted in small steps.

Umtiti realized something in an instant and quickly approached, but Ashraf's kick was faster.

The football shot up from the ground and flew past the toes of Umtiti's extended right foot towards the front of the penalty area.

Lukaku, who took advantage of his position, raised his left arm to block Pique and hit the ball with his chest.He stopped to the right front of his body, adjusted in small steps, and picked up his unfamiliar right foot to shoot.

Since the shooting foot was not his dominant foot, the spot where he caught the ball was not particularly accurate, so he was nudged by Ter Stegen who reacted quickly.

It was at this moment that the football hit the post on the right side of the goal, bounced back, and was hugged tightly by Ter Stegen.

BBC commentator Lineker shouted:"Didn't score.——"

Lukaku held his head in regret and looked up to the sky and roared.

The Manchester United fans in the audience sat back in the audience holding their heads in frustration, shaking their heads and sighing.

If Lukaku can hit the right spot with this ball, there is a high probability of scoring!

Pity!

At the same time, Ter Stegen quickly stood up and threw the ball to Pique, who was approaching from an angle. Van Carey felt a little uneasy and turned his head just in time to see Messi, who had returned to Barcelona's half, turn around and move forward. He felt a move in his heart and pulled back. Defend!
