I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 139: A Tale of Two Cities

On the outside of the penalty area, Rooney turned sideways, blocked Alaba with his body, and stopped the ball with his chest.

But just when Rooney stopped the ball and turned around to get rid of Martinez, the referee blew his whistle at this time.

"The referee blew a foul on Martinez at Bayern Munich. He made an obvious pull on the jersey when Wayne Rooney stopped the ball and turned around. But Rooney looked unhappy with the call because he had already activated it. It is obvious that the referee should follow the principle of favorable offense and should not blow the whistle at that time."

"The penalty this time was indeed a little unfavorable for Manchester United, because Rooney was able to break away from Martinez at the time, and after dribbling the ball into the penalty area, he directly formed a single goal, but now a very threatening attack has been interrupted. "

...

The referee in this game is a well-known maniac for picking out cards. Rooney immediately ran to pick up the ball after a little symbolic protest. He doesn't want to be foolish enough to get a yellow card. He already has two yellow cards on his back, and if he gets another card, he will have to suspend the game.

After Rooney picked up the ball and threw it on the ground, he wanted to take a quick free kick, but at this time the referee blew his whistle again and again, signaling him to stop, not fast, he had to wait for the opponent to line up the wall.

Rooney, who just rushed out like an arrow, could only shake his head with a wry smile, and kept walking back.

The expression was also captured on live TV footage, and the narrator was clearly amused.

"Haha, Rooney is also very cunning. He wanted to take a fast free kick, but he was obviously seen through by the referee. He didn't give him such a chance. He seemed a little bit hit. But I have to say, in this position The free kick is still very threatening."

"Manchester United should take the penalty from Rooney."

...

Wayne Rooney is Manchester United's number one free-kick shooter, and his level of free kicks and corner kicks is very good.

Since Ye Su coached Manchester United, Manchester United's number one setter has always been Rooney, and Mata is also one of the important penalty takers. Of course, De Bruyne and others occasionally take set kicks.

Rooney and De Bruyne are standing at the corners, making it unclear how to kick.

"We two, who will come?" De Bruyne asked with concern.

Rooney looked up,

Glancing at the restricted area, he said, "Let me do it."

Rooney is Ye Suqin's number one set kicker and the captain. After he clearly expressed his willingness to take the free kick, De Bruyne will naturally not argue with him. He smiled and clicked. He nodded and said, "I'll cover you for you."

Rooney replied, "Okay."

Wayne Rooney set up a wall in Bayern Munich, the referee also exited the penalty area, and immediately blew his whistle to signal that a free throw could be made.

Rooney and De Bruyne exchanged glances, the Belgian midfielder nodded slightly, and quickly rushed towards the ball, and Rooney followed closely behind.

De Bruyne made a feint, and Rooney actually kicked the ball. The football quickly shot out from Rooney's feet, crossed the human wall, drew an arc, and fell towards the back point of the penalty area.

Bayern Munich's high points Martinez and Lewandowski are both in the middle, focusing on marking high points such as Maguire and Van Dijk, but Ram, who is defending the back point, is suddenly thrown away by Vardy.

Vardy's speed is not slow at all. This has been fully reflected in his last game against the Spanish winger Bernat. The area around the left corner jumped high.

At this moment, Vardy seemed to jump over the heads of the nearby Bayern defenders, making people feel extremely tall and mighty, with a feeling of a god descending from heaven, facing Rooney's free kick, he directly shook his head and hit the goal.

After the ball hit Vardy's head at an extremely fast speed, it changed direction and crashed directly into Bayern Munich's goal.

"goa111111111111111111111111111111!!!!!!"

"The 70th minute! Another goal for Manchester United! A header from Torvaldi!"

After Vardy scored the goal, he pointed to Rooney from a distance, signaling him to rush out of the field with him and go to the sidelines to celebrate the goal.

De Bruyne and other teammates also rushed forward.

"It's amazing jumping ability! Vardy's stature is not tall, but his jumping ability is extremely amazing. Judging from the slow-motion replay of the entire goal, Rooney's free kick was very accurate, and Vardy also jumped very well Gao, the cooperation between the two is very tacit, and Bayern Munich's defense did not have time to react."

"This is definitely a tacit cooperation between the two players!"

Manchester United's players gathered together on the sidelines, and everyone was celebrating the team's goal.

A goal was scored within three minutes of the opening game. After that, Manchester United has been relatively passive on the scene. Now, they even took advantage of a free kick to make another victory. This is definitely a goal that completely made Bayern Munich completely desperate.

2:0!

The total score became 5:4!

Manchester United has three more away goals in hand, and Bayern Munich must pull two goals in a row to reverse. There is not much time left, can Bayern Munich have a chance?

………………

Excited, Ye Su turned around and gave Ziggs and other assistants one by one a high-five to celebrate. This goal can almost be said to have established the victory of the game.

So he quickly made a second substitution, replacing Martial with Ashley Young.

To be honest, Ye Su had no doubts about Martial's talent, but he always had doubts about his devotion to the game.

Martial is a very emotional person, and in most games, he cannot be regarded as a hardworking player.

Although Ashley Young is ten years older than Martial, Martial still needs to work hard to learn from Ashley Young when it comes to professional attitude.

Although Ashley Young is over 30 years old, there is no need to worry about the ability and attitude of this England left-sided player. He has excellent dribbling ability on the wing.

On the contrary, Martial did not perform well in both rounds.

What's more, what is needed now is to counterattack while stabilizing the defense.

Guardiola has no choice. Five minutes later, he replaced Ribery with Mullerno.

After all, the French winger is a 33-year-old veteran. He has played three games in a week, which is a severe test for his physical fitness.

I have to say that Guardiola's substitutions are quite targeted. After Müller came on the field, Bayern Munich controlled the ball, making them start to play a threat.

It was Lewandowski who received a cross from Alonso in the penalty area and ferried the header to Muller. The German striker scored in front of the goal and won a game for Bayern Munich.

In the next few minutes, Bayern Munich attacked almost desperately. Manchester United was also forced into a very embarrassing situation.

Ye Su even replaced Bruno Fernandez with Smalling, fully guarding the penalty area.

In the end, the score was extended until the end of stoppage time.

………………

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the whole Old Trafford stadium burst into thunderous cheers. All the fans are wildly celebrating the team's entry into the semi-finals.

But the players on the court were a little bit exhausted. Even Rooney's legs were shaking uncontrollably.

The pressure Bayern Munich put on the team in the final stage was so great that Manchester United couldn't even fight back, so Manchester United could only be forced to retreat to the goal.

This time, the team's defense was also very good. In the end, they were able to withstand the offensive pressure of Bayern Munich. Everyone also tried their best, and no one slackened in the slightest.

The final result was that Manchester United drew with Bayern Munich 5:5, and then relied on away goals to narrowly eliminate the Bundesliga South King, which made Bayern Munich's players look a little bit discouraged.

Especially Lewandowski.

In fact, he played very hard in this game, but he did not show a strong offensive strength. When Manchester United retreated across the board, Lewandowski could not give full play to his advantages, but players like Costa were more threatening.

………………

After Rooney rested for a while, he took a breath and walked towards Lewandowski nearby.

"How? Am I right? If you come to Old Trafford again, you don't even think about getting out alive." Rooney stretched out his right hand with a chuckle.

Lewandowski shook hands with Rooney a little depressed, and said: "We are mainly too tired."

In the first round at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich played very well, and they had the intention of eating Manchester United in one breath. But they had a lot of defensive problems in that game, especially on Bernat's side.

If that game had been 4-2, with United scoring even fewer goals, it would have been a completely different game.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world.

If you lose, you lose!

"However, don't be careless. You have already tried your best to reach the semi-finals. It will not be easy for Manchester United to meet other teams!" Lewandowski reminded in good faith.

Wayne Rooney nodded. The teams that may advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League have already decided the results except for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which are fighting against Manchester United and Bayern at the same time. Apart from Atletico Madrid eliminating Barcelona, ​​the other two games will not be decided until tomorrow. But whether it's Wolfsburg or Real Madrid, Manchester City or Paris, none of them are easy to deal with.

Of course, Rooney is also very clear that no matter who it is, as long as it can enter the semi-finals of the Champions League, it is definitely a symbol of strength. It is absolutely impossible to get to this point by luck alone.

However, Manchester United can defeat strong enemies all the way, and they will not be afraid of any opponents at this level.

………………

Soon, Manchester United's opponents in the Champions League semi-finals were also determined.

In the second leg of the quarter-finals, Manchester United and Atletico Madrid took the lead in breaking into the Champions League semi-finals. On the second match day, Manchester City defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium. Playing the role of a superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo used a hat-trick that shocked the world at the Bernabeu and defeated Wolfsburg 3:0. With a total score of 3:2, he reversed and eliminated the embarrassment, and broke into the Champions League quarterfinals with his head held high. powerful.

As a result, the final four finalists in the Champions League belonged to two cities: Manchester and Madrid!

And the final UEFA Champions League semi-final draw was a tale of two cities: Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid, Manchester City vs Real Madrid!

As soon as the result of the draw came out, the whole world reported that the Champions League final will be a duel between the former Manchester United double stars Ronaldo and Rooney.

Obviously, everyone is optimistic about Manchester United and Real Madrid defeating their respective opponents and joining forces in the Champions League final.

"The Times" also focused on this game, and they praised Rooney for scoring valuable goals in both rounds. The finale of the first round was the finale of the world wave, and a zero-angle goal was scored in the opening three minutes of the second round.

"These two goals are undoubtedly very exciting, and may even become one of the most exciting goals in the Champions League this season. They are also very important. They are the key to Manchester United's promotion to the semi-finals."

"The Times" believes that this game still reflects the fighting spirit of Manchester United.

"Before the referee blew the final whistle, there was a suffocating tension in the air at Old Trafford, and everyone watched the game with trepidation."

"Bayern Munich completely controlled the pitch. They had a chance to equalize the score and achieve a reversal on the total score, but in the end the Manchester United players withstood the pressure and stuck to the last minute without giving Bayern Munich any more chances."

"The Times" believes: "The last two seasons are undoubtedly Rooney's seasons! This former hopeful star has shown amazing performance in these two seasons when he is about to enter his thirties. strength."

Agence France-Presse said in its comments after the game: "Manchester United used an aura that didn't even consider defending at the beginning, and with Rooney's outstanding performance, they took the lead at 1:0. This goal completely changed the game, and then Rooney He also assisted his teammates to score with a precise free kick, established the victory for Manchester United, and personally brought Manchester United into the semi-finals of the Champions League."

German Bild also spoke highly of Manchester United's performance in this game: "Yesu's team attacked bravely, attacked boldly, and played their own traditional style. The game was very tense, and both teams showed amazing performances. Strength, the pace of the game has always been relatively fast, both sides played unconservatively, but in the end Rooney's one pass and one shot helped Manchester United eliminate Bayern Munich!"

The British "Sun" even made a special page for Rooney, with the title: "Where will his limit be?"

In this page, the Sun newspaper not only praised Rooney's performance in this game and his outstanding performance in the Champions League this season, but also invited many football professionals to comment on Rooney.

England star Lineker said: "Rooney's style of play is very mature and stable, and he has been improving."
