Started with a full-level header, the whole network begs me not to return to the national football t

Chapter 125 The King of European War!Super Airbus!hat trick!Hearty goal battle!

"Beep!"

Not long after, the players on both sides returned to their positions and the game resumed.

The APOEL players launched a crazy counterattack against Manchester United's goal in the next 10 minutes.

After falling behind, they no longer insisted on defensive tactics in the first half, and went out in full force, preparing to catch Manchester United by surprise.

"Wide, look for the threat point on the side, and attack their two full-backs!"

The head coach Marios on the sidelines kept shouting towards the field, and at the same time waved his hands to signal the full-backs on the two sides to actively advance.

Soon, there were only two central defenders left in the backcourt of APOEL.

The other eight players all entered Manchester United's half and actively ran to meet them.

This style of play is very risky. Once Manchester United launches a counterattack, the blow will be very fatal.

But why not say that the Cypriots still have some guts and ambitions, retaining the courage and bravery of their ancestors' pirate days.

They played very resolutely, pushing their reckless attack to the back of Manchester United.

In fact, even Mourinho on the sidelines didn't think of this, and fell into a brief period of confusion, without having time to arrange tactics.

On the court, the APOEL winger has advanced to Valencia's side with the ball.

This is recognized as the weakest side of Manchester United's defense, and Ashley Young on the other side is not very good at breaking through.

Poor Valencia, another failure in defense this time.

The opponent was just a passer-by after pedaling a bicycle, and his legs couldn't keep up.

"boom!"

Then, the APOEL winger sent a cross near the baseline and went straight to the back of the center.

More than four APOEL players entered the penalty area. Their players still have some advantages in grabbing points, and they are all relatively tall.

Of course, this is an advantage over Manchester United's defenders. Compared with Lu Chenfeng, he has no advantage.

"boom!"

Soon, a muffled sound sounded, and the football touched the head of the APOEL center forward and shot towards the goal.

"Boom!" Thanks to De Gea's quick reaction, he dragged the ball out of the baseline with a single palm before it was about to fly into the goal.

De Gea, who made a sudden attack, also roared angrily, venting his emotions in his heart.

For a season, his sense of presence has not been strong.

As a goalkeeper, the more shots the opponent takes without conceding a clean sheet, the more excited he is.

But this is a paradox. No one knows whether the next shot will be a performance opportunity or a goal.

But in general, De Gea now hopes that the opponent can hit the goal more and let himself exercise!
"Beep!"

The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the corner flag area, indicating that this is a corner kick opportunity.

The APOEL midfielder strolled towards the corner flag area, while turning his head three times at a time, observing the situation in the penalty area.

"The midfield retreated across the board, and Ibrahimovic also harassed the opponent's offense at the midfielder position. Lu Chenfeng pointed a single arrow in front."

At this time, Mourinho finally gave instructions on defense, leaving only Lu Chenfeng with a speed point in front, and let all the midfielders retreat.

Even Ibrahimovic has shouldered certain defensive tasks.

He planned to survive the ten minutes before trying to find a way to get out.

"boom!!"

Soon, APOEL's corner kick was sent, and the football fell to the back point of the middle with a violent spin.

De Gea's eyes revealed a bit of eagerness, and his feet kept moving outwards, trying to pick the ball off directly.

But unfortunately, the ball went out of his control after a slightly crooked arc in the air.

This caused his position to be chaotic, and there was a gap in front of the door.

"boom!!"

Another powerful header hit, and the football went straight through the dense crowd in the penalty area and flew towards the right corner of the goal.

De Gea had no time to go back to the right, so he could only lean over there as much as possible, and then watched the football into the net with some embarrassment.

"Yeahhhhhh!!!"

Then, the Cypriots who came from the expedition shouted excitedly, and the stands were full of jubilation.

The goal is scored, one to one!

The Cypriots equalized!

The player who scored the goal was No. [-], and now he rushed to the sidelines with flushed faces and yelled, slipped and knelt out.

There are only 2 people at APOEL's home court. I am used to playing in that stadium. When I came to Old Trafford, a giant stadium with more than 7 people, I scored a goal. This feeling is indescribable. .

He couldn't control his excitement anymore.

"Very beautiful!"

"Good shot, bro!"

The other APOEL players also shouted and followed, all looking very excited.

There is no doubt that this goal also gave them encouragement.

The shouts of more than 3 expedition fans and the hot atmosphere on the scene made their desire to score goals very strong.

Who wouldn't want to score a Manchester United goal at Old Trafford and then go out and brag about it for the rest of their lives?
The APOEL coach on the sidelines also couldn't restrain his emotions at the moment, and ran along the sideline to celebrate, regardless of his own image.

This somewhat irritated Mourinho next to him.

Mourinho put his hands in his pockets at this time, looking at the Manchester United players with their heads down on the field, he didn't know what to say for a while.

In fact, it is best for Lu Chenfeng to go back for a corner kick.

With his ability to compete for the top, there must be no problem marking the player who just scored a goal.

But I was careless at the time, and I didn't expect that this corner kick could really create a goal.

I originally thought that this team would be completely misfired when they came to Old Trafford. How could this look at this posture? The two teams may still have a goal battle today?
Mourinho thought silently in his heart that this conceded goal was the price he paid for underestimating the enemy just now.

Of course, there is also the pressure of the opponent regardless of the consequences.

"Press out and fight, don't defend. If they want to fight like this, let's try to fight against each other and see whose spear is stronger."

Mourinho shouted towards the field, and then sat back in the coach's seat.

Fight against attack!
He doesn't believe it anymore, APOEL beat Manchester United?

"Beep!"

The game quickly resumed, and Lu Chenfeng once again sent the center circle ball for Manchester United.

Not too unexpectedly, the APOEL players continued to come out in full force, ready to repeat their tricks, and then look for an opportunity to smash a goal at Manchester United.

After Pogba got the ball, he didn't choose to control the ball in the backcourt. After a simple dribble, he made a long pass and hit Ibrahimovic's head.

"boom."

Ibrahimovic threw his head to Martial on the wing, and it played the role of a fulcrum.

United's attack began to organize quickly, threatening the APOEL goal.

This attack finally ended with Martial's long-range anti-aircraft gun. Today, he was a little nervous and kicked a little eagerly in the attack.

It may be that Rashford put a lot of pressure on him in the last game, eager to prove himself and stabilize his starting position.

But sometimes, the more this is the case, the more it will backfire.

This situation intensified in the following time, gradually causing Martial to lose confidence in this game.

In the 206th minute of the game, his cross passed directly to the opponent's goalkeeper, wasting an excellent opportunity.

There are already three high points in the penalty area to respond, but it is a pity that they did not pass in.

In the 301st minute of the game, he made another reckless breakthrough, which led to the loss of the ball directly, allowing the opponent to launch a quick counterattack, and Tina broke the goal.

"damn it!"

Martial kicked the lawn of Old Trafford and complained that his mood was not right.

Mourinho, on the sidelines, felt more and more dissatisfied and disappointed.

"Rashford, warm up."

He called Rashford and was about to make a substitution.

Mourinho plans to use this to beat Martial, so that he must stabilize his emotions and play well when he is on the court in the future.

Soon, when the game time had just passed forty minutes, the substitution board was raised.

When Martial saw that it was Rashford standing on the sidelines, the loss in his heart was already very strong. He didn't even need to look at the substitution card, and walked directly to the off-court with his head down.

He gave a symbolic high-five to Rashford, walked back to the bench without hugging Mourinho.

This is an act of disrespect to the head coach, and it can be seen that he is a little dissatisfied.

"Martial, you have your own characteristics and advantages. Your passing is much better than Rashford, and your playing should be more reasonable."

Mourinho knew that Martial would be angry, and temporarily held back the anger of shaking his face, and said, "This is the reason why I put you in the starting lineup."

"But look at your performance today, have you played to your strengths? So you want to score goals?"

"Sometimes some redundant thoughts in people's minds will lead to changes in technical movements. You should think about it carefully. If this is still the case, then you may lose your starting position forever."

Martial sat on the bench, lowered his head and pulled his face, not knowing whether he listened or not.

On the court, Rashford started to run actively as soon as he came on the field.

It is a great honor to play in such an important Europa League knockout game and shoulder the heavy responsibility of one side of Manchester United's attack.

Now there are about five or ten minutes for him to play, so his mentality is naturally much more positive.

And to put it bluntly, Martial just played the background, and now Rashford does not have much pressure.

Just play normally and give full play to your own characteristics.

This idea also made Rashford's pressure a lot less, and he gradually became more comfortable on the court.

"boom!"

Game No. 407 minutes, the last minute of stoppage time in the first half.

Rashford received a diagonal long pass from his teammate on the left to clear the ball.

He unloaded the football with great skill and looked up.

Right now is the best time for Manchester United to switch offense and defense, and the opponent's central position is very open!
When the ball was passed just now, it meant that the opponent's press in the frontcourt failed.

Now they have only five defensive players in the backcourt.

After a simple judgment, Rashford made a decisive decision and cut inward with the ball towards the middle, attracting the opponent's defense.

A defensive midfielder immediately stuck over, defending Rashford's long-range shot.

"boom."

Rashford was not greedy, and after attracting the defense, he knocked the ball horizontally and handed it to Pogba.

"wind!"

After receiving the ball, Pogba looked in Lu Chenfeng's direction, yelled, and then rubbed the sole of his foot against the bottom of the football.

APOEL's defense immediately approached Lu Chenfeng's position, thinking that the ball was going to be passed to Lu Chenfeng.

They themselves were highly nervous about Lu Chenfeng's defense. Now that they saw Pogba's obvious passing intention, of course they moved closer together subconsciously.

But the outgoing football, with a strong inward rotation in the air, hit Ibrahimovic in front of him.

Sound East and West!

The routine that Manchester United have played before!
Now it is reproduced in the Europa League!
The frightened Greek Athletic defense line immediately chased after Ibrahimovic, but they did not know that they had lost their position in two hasty transfers!

The neutral position will also be exposed!

After Ibrahimovic received the football, he didn't stop the ball and knocked it horizontally.

"boom!!"

Lu Chenfeng, who was outflanking at the end, pushed and shot easily, and ate the pie into his stomach.

Two to one!

Scored twice to overtake the score!

"Yeahhhhhhhhh!!!"

The fans at the scene rioted again, and the whole stand suddenly became a sea of ​​red jubilation. Every Manchester United fan got out of the shadow of being scored not long ago.

After Rashford came on the field, the team obviously played better.

With this goal, it is a guarantee.

They believe that the team can score again in the next game to seal the victory of the game!

Lu Chenfeng stepped back while pointing at Ibrahimovic who just passed the ball to him, with a smile on his face.

This ball is the peak coordination strength of Manchester United's frontcourt offensive combination.

Through a very quick counterattack, they caught the opponent's loopholes in the transition and scored a wonderful teamwork goal!

This ball, let alone Atletico Greek, even Atlético Madrid, doesn't have many chances to defend it.

Everything is done to perfection!

"You boy won't want another hat-trick."

Ibrahimovic came to Lu Chenfeng's side, slapped his palms with Lu Chenfeng, and smiled.

Rashford, Pogba, and Rooney also rushed over quickly.

Although Rooney didn't deserve much credit for this ball, he still licked his face and said, "Thanks to my deterrent effect at the back, otherwise you wouldn't have such a chance."

"Who is the real thigh, does everyone know?"

Hearing Rooney's joke, everyone laughed out loud, feeling very happy.

In the commentary seat on the sidelines, He Wei covered his earphones, tried his best to minimize the sound of external celebrations, and began to explain.

"Beautiful teamwork, that's Jose Mourinho's football."

"By passing the ball quickly in transition, playing fast breaks that make it difficult for the opponent to react, and scoring goals."

"It must be the fruit of their sweat in training on weekdays."

"Of course, I have to praise Pogba's imagination and Lu Chenfeng's deterrence to opponents just by standing there."

"Two to one, United outscored again before the end of the first half."

"In the second half, as long as they continue to play steadily and don't make too many mistakes, then this night belongs to Manchester."

"..."

Mourinho on the sidelines is also celebrating with the assistant coaches at the moment, and he didn't expect the substitution to be effective so quickly.

Rashford's choice of this ball is also one of the key points of the goal.

He very cleverly brought the ball to the middle, attracted the defense of the opponent's midfielder, and gave Pogba a chance to pass the ball unmarked!

"Fantastic young man."

Mourinho sighed in his heart, and then thought of Martial behind him.

In Xia Chuang, in addition to strengthening the defensive hardness of the lower full-backs.

Originally, I wanted to buy another substitute for Rooney, or even directly buy a main player.

But now it seems that it seems to be unnecessary?

If the two young players, Martial and Rashford, improve enough this year, maybe the red youth storm next season will be able to sweep across Europe.

Single arrow Road Morrowind, Martial on the left, Rashford on the right.

This offensive combination is paired with a veteran, Dinghaishenzhen Ibrahimovic.

Maybe it's really a trick.

Mourinho thought about the scene at that time silently in his heart. Among other things, the speed must be top-notch, right?

When he was in Real Madrid, his main focus was speed, and he also played some wonderful counterattacks and scored quickly.

At Manchester United, there may also be a chance to try.

Thinking of this, Mourinho also glanced at Martial on the bench.

The player still seems to be lost, and the expression on his face is not very good.

Especially after seeing Rashford's wonderful performance just now, the players still have a sense of urgency and pressure on their faces.

Mourinho's heart moved slightly. It seems that Martial's inner work has to be done well off the field.

"Beep! Beep! Beep—!"

Not long after, three long whistles sounded, and the first half ended.

Players and coaches from both sides walked towards the locker room for an intermission.

After 15 minutes, players from both sides returned to the court and began the second half of the fight.

APOEL sent out the ball in the middle circle and restarted the aggressive attack.

Manchester United did not get used to him this time, the number of defenders did not drop too much, and they launched a menacing counterattack as soon as the ball was stolen.

"Ohhhhhhh..."

"Ohhhhhhhh!!"

The two teams played open and close, and the fans on the sidelines also watched cheers and exclamations from time to time.

From either direction, the result of this game will not be a safe end.

Goal shootout.

These four words may be the final affiliation of this game.

The subsequent trend of the game also proved this point.

"Press up! Press up! Go into the restricted area!"

In 1 minute of the game, APOEL's second counterattack started.

They seized the weakness of Manchester United's midfielder Fellaini's slow turn and broke the ball under his feet. Instead of letting Manchester United launch a counterattack, they caught an offensive and defensive conversion by themselves.

After the midfielder dribbled the ball not far away, he handed the ball to the winger on the wing, allowing the winger to beat Valencia one-on-one.

There was already a bit of fatigue in Valencia's expression, and it seemed that he really couldn't resist.

The APOEL winger didn't force him one-on-one with the ball. After cutting the ball across the inside, he gave it to the full-back with a very silky kick.

"boom!!"

The full-back made a pass and passed the ball to the center.

"Bang!!"

At the penalty spot, Phil Jones got stuck and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

Under the interference of the opponent, he did not head the ball toward the outside, but only toward the center.

This gave APOEL the opportunity to attack again with two penalty kicks.

"boom!!!"

But then a voice that pierced through the audience surprised everyone present.

The No. [-] midfielder of APOEL, facing the football falling from the sky, shot a volley and directly smashed the ball towards the goal!
The soccer ball was like a cannonball, it flew towards the goal with great force, and finally hit the upper right corner of the goal frame, rebounded and smashed into the net!
De Gea thought the football would be higher than the goal frame, so he didn't care about it at the first time. It was too late when he smashed the frame!
The ball went in again!

Two to two!
This is the goal that kicked off the goal war!
"Yeahhhhhhh!!"

The fans of the Cyprus expedition were completely excited. APOEL, which represents the hope of the national football, once again passed a goal to keep the hope of victory.

Even, with the current score, they will advance to the quarterfinals with the advantage of goal difference!
"Beautiful! A world wave!"

From the commentary seat on the sidelines, He Wei sounded excitedly. His commentary did not take any position.

Even though he really hopes that Manchester United will win, his basic qualities as a football commentator are excellent!

"Pasalic, this shot is so beautiful! De Gea didn't react at all!"

"The Cypriots were boiling and their kid saved the team with a shot."

Coach's bench.

Marios was naturally celebrating with the bench, while Mourinho's face was a little eager.

The coach seats on both sides are simply a world of difference.

Naturally, in the world of football, there are joys and sorrows.

"Mata, warm up."

He called up the veteran Mata on the bench, ready to attack the opponent's defense for the last time.

Now the score is two to two, and the opponent already has a goal difference advantage.

Unless they have an advantage of two goals, Manchester United can be said to have secured the victory.

Regardless of whether the opponent equalizes the score to a few-to-a few draws, Manchester United will suffer.

"The difficulty of the Europa League is not much easier than the Champions League..."

Mourinho couldn't help sighing in his heart. When he played in the Champions League, although the opponents were very capable, they had excellent tactical and personal abilities.

But at least there are traces to follow, you can always find their weaknesses.

They change and change, and they are also the fundamentals, and there can be no more changes.

Top teams need stability.

But these in the Europa League may sound less well-known, but there are no such scruples at all for strong teams.

They can change at any time and try new tactics at any time.

Before the game starts, you don't even know what tricks their coach has hidden for you, waiting for you.

Perhaps it is most appropriate to use He Wei's famous saying.

Around you are a group of young people who are full of ambition, passion and desire just like you were back then.

They study your strengths and weaknesses under a microscope and target you.

Do you think it is difficult for you to defend the world?
Mourinho is in such a mood at this time.

Of course, he is in a different situation than the one He Wei explained.

He still has a lot of time to turn the tide for himself and win the game.

Mourinho shouted towards the field, and then waved his big hand towards the APOEL goal.

This is the signal for all to attack.

Mata also came on the field after more than three minutes, replacing Rooney, who was already a little weak on the field.

A new offensive line has arrived.

Rashford, Mata, Lu Chenfeng, Ibrahimovic.

It was the first time that these four were on the field at the same time, and the opponent certainly didn't have any preventive plans in advance.

What kind of sparks can be sparked depends on them.

In the 70th minute of the game, the four finally got a chance to show the effect of the bond.

It was Pogba again, using his long legs to hook the ball under the opponent's midfielder, and then handed the ball to Rashford on the wing.

Rashford cuts in with the ball, leaving the gap on the wing for Ashley Young who is behind him.

The full-back's offensive ability is also very strong.

But Rashford did not pass the ball to him. Instead, he cut in a few steps and hit Mata directly near the far penalty area with a horizontal kick.

Relying on his experience, Mata stopped the ball with his outside foot, then didn't waste time to observe, and rubbed the ball directly to the position near the back post.

It must have been passed on here at this time.

If there are no teammates, it can only show that the striker's running position is not in place.

This is also a passing method that this veteran is very familiar with.

"boom!!"

To Mata's surprise, there were actually people in the direction of the landing, and they really snatched the ball.

He usually comes off the bench, and has never cooperated with Lu Chenfeng Ibrahimovic on the field.

On weekdays, everyone plays the training games and so on, and they can't feel it.

This is the first time he feels that a good forward is really fragrant...

At the back post, Ibrahimovic once again acted as a green leaf, smashing the ball back to the small penalty area line.

There, Lu Chenfeng had been eyeing the ball for a long time.

The next moment, his body jumped high, and under the double-teaming of three defensive players on the small penalty area line, he quickly rose to the height of about two heads, and there was a small lingering in the air!

"boom!!!"

When the football came in front of him, he tightened his waist, ejected forcefully, and slammed his head into the middle of the football!
At such a close distance, the APOEL goalkeeper only saw a flash of white light, subconsciously waved his arm, and the football fell into the net!
"Yeahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The Manchester United fans on the sidelines were boiling again, many of them had blushed and looked very excited.

This kind of goal battle, as long as the team is in the lead, many people are still willing to watch it.

Just because it's cool!
Because of this hearty atmosphere!

Scoring goals is the ultimate charm of football!
The ultimate conduction?
A quick counterattack?

Wonderful dribbling?
I'm sorry, sometimes it's not as good-looking as a Kongba header or a volley!
"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

After the shouting, all the fans also shouted Lu Chenfeng's name.

Because this is his third goal in today's game, he has completed a hat-trick!

Today's Lu Chenfeng, combined with the previous two European games, has definitely shown a characteristic.

King of Europe!

This state may follow him to the Champions League in the future!

This is the quality a top striker must possess!
