I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Immediately, Ye Su made personnel adjustments. De Bruyne and Kante came off the bench respectively, while McTominay and Phil Jones were replaced.

From these two substitution adjustments, it can be seen that Ye Su desperately hopes that the team can solve the game within 90 minutes.

Although the quarter-finals of the League Cup do not need to be replayed like the FA Cup after a tie, they will go directly to overtime. But Ye Su is willing to try any option that can save energy for the devil's schedule that has already started.

Ye Su's substitutions and adjustments soon saw miraculous results.

In the 71st minute, De Bruyne sent a very penetrating through ball. Mbappe broke into the penalty area from the right and shot. Although Stiller made a save, he failed to stop the ball from entering the net.

2:1, Manchester United reversed the score!

Three minutes later, Manchester United played a very threatening attack again. De Bruyne stole the ball and passed through. Manchester United counterattacked 2 to 1, but Rashford handled the ball too sloppily. Shford made a tackle at his feet, Rashford brought Bryan down in a hurry, and received a yellow card.

In the 75th minute, Manchester United missed a good opportunity to seal the victory. Bruno Fernandes crossed from the left and Harry Kane, who had just come off the bench, headed in from 12 yards and Stiller saved the baseline.

In the subsequent game, both sides created some scoring opportunities, but in the end they failed to rewrite the score.

Seeing that the game was coming to an end and Manchester United was about to win, in the 93rd minute, Taylor picked a pass from the penalty area and Smith succeeded in countering offside.

Ye Su hopped his feet angrily for this loss. In this defense, the Senegalese central defender was obviously out of focus. Perhaps he was already waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the game, and then celebrate the team's promotion?

………………

Being tied at the buzzer by his opponent, Ye Su had to accept the result of overtime.

However, for Bristol, who are obviously at a disadvantage, this is all they can do.

Although during the overtime period, Lee Johnson let Bristol fully retreat, trying to drag the 2:2 score to the end of overtime, and then seek a chance to advance in the penalty shootout, but the absolute strength gap made Lee Johnson • Johnson's plan failed.

In the first and second half of overtime, Manchester United's Bruno Fernandez and Harry Kane each made a contribution, and finally eliminated their opponents 4:2 and advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup.

After the game, Ye Su unceremoniously criticized the Senegalese defender's mistakes during second-half stoppage time.

In Ye Su's view, such a mistake was stupid.

Ye Su's requirements for players have always been that they should not relax before the referee's final whistle. In this game, the Senegalese central defender obviously did not take Ye Su's words to heart. As a result, the team conceded a goal at the last minute of the game and had to go to overtime.

This is undoubtedly worse for the team's already stretched physical fitness.

Fortunately, the team finally won in overtime, otherwise Manchester United is likely to come to an end in the League Cup this season.

After all, a penalty shootout is a difficult situation to control, and Ye Su dare not say that Manchester United will definitely win the game.

………………

At 3:45 am on December 24th, Beijing time, the last game of the 19th round of the Premier League kicked off at the King Power Stadium.

Prior to this, as Manchester City swept Cherry Bournemouth 4:0 at the Etihad Stadium, they led Manchester United by 6 points in the case of 3 more games, and also locked in the half-time championship.

This is after the 2014-2015 season, Manchester United once again missed the top of the Premier League standings at the end of the half.

At that time, the Blues in Mu's second period overwhelmed Manchester United with a goal difference advantage and became the half-time champion of the Premier League that season.

Although it was ended by the British Championship team Bristol in the middle of the week, their six-game away winning streak in regular time was ended, but compared to Manchester United, Leicester City's recent situation is even worse. Leicester City lost to Manchester City in the League Cup penalty shootout in midweek, which affected both morale and physical fitness. Their unexpected 0:3 loss to Crystal Palace in the last round of the league ended the previous 4-game winning streak in the Premier League.

Therefore, all parties are more optimistic about Manchester United winning this game.

Leicester City formed a 4231 formation for this campaign. At the goalkeeper position is Schmeichel. As for the central defenders, Huth and Morgan were placed at the core of the defense. On the front line, Slimani is waiting for an opportunity. Manchester United, on the other hand, used a 4-3-3 formation. Dean Henderson was placed in the goalkeeper position. In the midfield, the offensive and defensive transition provided by Mata is worth looking forward to.

………………

At the King Power Stadium, Manchester United encountered stubborn resistance from Leicester City. Although the Red Devils turned against the guests and launched continuous offensives towards Leicester City's goal at the beginning of the game, the Blue Foxes tenaciously resolved waves of Manchester United's offensives.

In the 26th minute, Luke Shaw, who made an assist from the left, sent a high-quality cross, but Harry Kane took off early and missed the header. Mata took the ball in the frontcourt and sent it Straight plug, no penetration.

In the 27th minute, Leicester City made a long pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Mahrez took control of the ball from the frontcourt and waited for his Algerian international teammate Slimani to advance, and suddenly sent a straight pass to the penalty area. Sliema Ni followed up and turned offside and pushed and scored!

1:0! Leicester City at home took the lead.

Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack. Facing his old club, Vardy was very active. In an attack in the 33rd minute, he took the ball from the left to the penalty area and forced a cross to get a corner kick. However, in the subsequent corner kick attack, Manchester United failed to pose too much threat.

In the 39th minute, Vardy took the ball from the left and gave it to the penalty area. Harry Kane received the ball in the middle and returned it. Mata followed up and pushed the ball in, rewriting the score on the field to 1:1!

Before the end of the first half, Leicester City got a free kick in the frontcourt, which was a little far from the goal. Mahrez gave the free kick to the small penalty area, and Morgan stopped the ball to form a gap. Manchester United's defending players came up to clear the ball, and Ndidi took the ball to the right, but still failed to pose any threat.

The referee blows the whistle and the first half ends.

………………

Easy side to fight again, neither side has made personnel adjustments. In general, the performance of the players on both sides in the first half was within the normal range, and there is no need to make adjustments.

In the 60th minute, Manchester United got a free kick in the front court, and Mata and De Bruyne stood in front of the ball.

The two free kick masters put tremendous pressure on Leicester City's defense. De Bruyne's realistic fake run attracted Leicester City's wall to take off first, but he just made a feint. The real free throw was Mata.

Immediately, Mata hit the goal directly with a free kick, and the ball went around the wall and went straight to the near corner of the goal.

1:2!

Mata scored twice to help Manchester United overtake the score!

Manchester United continued to strengthen the offensive, hoping to expand the lead and seal the victory of the game. However, Leicester City's second defense, Morgan and Huth, performed very stably and did not give Manchester United any good scoring opportunities.

In the 82nd minute, Manchester United counterattacked with a long pass behind them. Schmeichel rushed out of the penalty area to clear the ball first. However, the second point is still controlled by Manchester United. Manchester United takes the ball in the frontcourt and slows down the pace.

After passing a few kicks, Manchester United suddenly accelerated the pace. Mata sent a through ball into the penalty area, but Kane received the ball for offside.

Shortly after, the regular 90 minutes of the game ended and the fourth official called for three minutes of extra time.

Amidst the cheers of the home fans, Leicester City launched a Jedi counterattack, hoping to score a goal to equalize the score, or even reverse the game.

Manchester United took the initiative to retreat, hoping to maintain a 2:1 lead until the end of the whistle.

Soon, three minutes of stoppage time ended, but the referee on duty did not blow his whistle, and Leicester City continued to attack.

Ye Su walked to the sidelines and reminded the referee that it was time to blow his whistle.

………………

At this time, the game time has reached the 94th minute of the game.

At that time, Leicester City's pass from the left was blocked. The referee looked at the time, hesitated, and decided to give Leicester City another chance to attack.

This made Ye Su on the sidelines very dissatisfied. He had given 3 minutes of stoppage time before, but now 4 minutes have passed.

Leicester City players also know that the referee may blow the whistle for the end of the game at any time, so they no longer patiently organize the pass at this time. Gray barely handed the ball to Albrighton under Kanter's pressure. Albrighton kicked the ball into the penalty area without waiting for the Manchester United players to press up.

Albrighton's pass was a bit too big. On the route of the ball, players from both sides fell off the top one by one and failed to top the ball.

Seeing that the ball was about to fly out of the baseline, he saw a figure in a blue jersey rush to the back post like flying, and shoveled a shot from the far corner to score.

2:2!

It was Mahrez who scored the goal. The Algerian midfielder ran out of the field frantically and celebrated wildly amidst the cheers of nearly 30,000 spectators at home.

………………

When Leicester City finished celebrating and Manchester United kicked off again, the time had reached the 96th minute of the game.

At this time, the referee did not give Manchester United a complete chance. After Manchester United kicked off, they directly blew the whistle for the end of the game.

This made Ye Su very angry. When Leicester City was attacking, the referee didn't blow the whistle to end the game. Wait until Manchester United have the ball and end the game directly. What does this mean?

But the final whistle had already blown, Ye Su's anger was useless, and Manchester United could only accept the result of being tied by the opponent's buzzer.

Manchester United scored two consecutive goals in the last minute in a week. In the last game, Manchester United could win through overtime, but in this game, they could only watch the 3 points they got turned into 1 point.

Although through this draw, Manchester United extended their unbeaten record in the Premier League to 56 games, but Ye Su was still not very happy.

With 2 games less, Manchester United has fallen behind Manchester City by 5 points. This season's games are getting more and more difficult to play.
