Extraordinary coach

"..." Laporte looked at Ronaldo's still tall figure and couldn't help being a little stunned.

After a while, Laporte came to his senses and couldn't help but spat: "Oh, how dare you say such a thing? Do you think you are greater than God?"

"This is simply blasphemy. Just wait, God will punish you soon!"

After returning, Cristiano Ronaldo glanced at his teammates with bright eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "Did you see it? As long as we don't give up, we have a chance. This time, we only missed it by a little bit. If we do it again, I'm sure , will definitely score a goal.”

"Brothers, continue to persist, even if you grit your teeth, you must persist in fighting them to the end."

"Once we hit the post, we all took one shot; if we hit the post twice, we took two more shots. I don't believe it. It can hit the post every time."

"Even if it hits the center post, I still have to bend the goal post and let the ball roll into the goal."

"Brothers, keep fighting!"

After saying this, Cristiano Ronaldo turned to look at the Manchester City team, with an extremely determined expression on his face, waiting for the Manchester City team to launch an attack.

Seeing Ronaldo's expression, Kaka couldn't help but be infected. Having a teammate with outstanding mental attributes can always encourage others unconsciously.

Just looking at Ronaldo like this, Kaka couldn't help shouting in his heart: Look, I still have teammates who are holding on. He hasn't given up yet, why should I give up?

Players like Ronaldo are persevering, why can’t I follow suit and persevere?

I want to be like him and continue to persevere. Don't give up until the game is over.

Kaka's fighting spirit was awakened, and he felt as if another force had been injected into his tired body. When I started running again, it didn't seem so heavy anymore.

"They're coming. Let's do it! Defend, and then we'll attack!"

Manchester City kicked off and they quickly organized their attack.

Southampton, who had one less player to play, could no longer block as they did at the beginning of the first half. Instead, they retreated to the vicinity of the penalty area, using dense positions and small spaces to offset Manchester City's numerical advantage. At the same time, physical disadvantages are also avoided.

Leading by only one goal is not safe for Manchester City. Ronaldo's center post illustrates this point.

Therefore, everyone in the Manchester City team feels that they need to score another one to feel at ease. Therefore, they also play very resolutely and threateningly in offense.

Fortunately, Southampton's defensive method forced Manchester City to conduct a positional battle and attack. The lack of height in Manchester City's forward also makes the threat they pose to Southampton in positional battles far less great than when they attack quickly.

With a united defense, Southampton tenaciously withstood Manchester City's offensive.

"It's our turn. Brothers, follow me!"

Led by Ronaldo, Southampton launched an offensive against Manchester City.

With the support of Kaka, Ronaldo had a hard time, but still managed to finish the shot tenaciously.

Although his long-range shot did not hit the goal this time, it was a shot after all.

As long as there's a shot, it's a threat.

After the attack, Ronaldo went back to encourage his teammates with words again.

Seeing Ronaldo like this, Sun Yi was also very encouraged, so he also took the opportunity to shout: "Come on! You must continue to fight like Ronaldo. Did you see the shot? There is still hope!"

Listen to Sun Yi's words and look at role models like Cristiano Ronaldo. More and more Southampton players are starting to become determined. They also began to regain their fighting spirit like Ronaldo.

"Just fight them to the end. This way, hope will still be there. Anyway, we have nothing to fear."

In this way, driven by Ronaldo's actions, the Southampton team regained its fighting spirit.

Their strong fighting spirit also made them play harder and harder.

For a moment, the Southampton team once again burst out with surprising fighting power, making the scene look like they were not losing.

Faced with this situation, Manchester City also felt Southampton's determination, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little surprised. At the same time, I subconsciously felt that this game might not be that easy to win.

If we don't fight to the last second, we may not be able to end the battle.

This feeling made the Manchester City team unable to help but feel a little more pressure and tension.

As time went by, Manchester City's physical fitness also began to have problems. Their offensive also had to slow down.

Physical fitness has dropped significantly, but the game is still so close. Manchester City players inevitably have different thoughts in their minds.

Facing Cristiano Ronaldo and other high-spirited Southampton players who were still insisting on attacking the goal, many people in the Manchester City team began to become conservative and wanted to shrink back.

"These guys from Southampton are crazy. No one can guarantee whether they will score again if we continue to play like this."

"Let's just go back and strengthen our defense! Anyway, we are still one goal ahead. As long as we hold on to the last ten minutes, we will be the winner of the game."

Under the control of this idea, Manchester City unknowingly shrunk their formation back a lot. This resulted in a surprising scene on the court.

The Southampton team, which had one less player to play, actually began to take the initiative and gradually launched a siege.

"Attack out! Don't retreat!"

Guardiola didn't want to retreat, he still hoped that Manchester City could attack.

However, players who consume a lot of physical energy may not be willing to obey his arrangement.

So, Manchester City had inconsistent ideas and was out of touch.

This made it easier for Southampton to find opportunities.

In desperation, Guardiola just compromised and simply sent more defensive players up.

"Come on! Southampton!" With the fans cheering with all their might, Southampton also tried their best to score.

However, after strengthening their defense, Manchester City had fewer flaws and it was more difficult to break through the defense.

Time passed by minute by minute. Southampton still insisted on attacking, even though many people had cramps, they still did not give up the belief in attacking.

It's just that their attack was harder and harder, and it was harder and harder to form a shot.

When it was already 85 minutes, Southampton still failed to score, but they did not give up.

86,

87,

88... When the game reached 90 minutes, they still did not give up.

It's a pity that under Manchester City's tenacious defense, they were still far from sending the ball into the goal.

Soon it entered the stoppage time.

"It's stoppage time, only a few minutes left."

"They can't run anymore. As long as we use up these few minutes, victory will be ours."

"Come on! Victory will belong to us!"

Guardiola was also motivating Manchester City regardless of everything. He had only a few minutes left to take three points from St. Mary's. No matter what, he had to take away the victory of this game.

Manchester City was also united in using up these last few minutes. After they got the ball, they tried their best to protect the ball and then tried their best to waste time.

"Go and grab it! Quick, go and grab it!"

"There's not much time left for us, go and grab the ball!"

Sun Yi shouted anxiously while watching the time passing by.

"Brothers, come with me to grab it! There's still the last time, we still have a chance. We can't give up!" Ronaldo roared, gritting his teeth and rushing up to grab the ball.

Seeing Ronaldo rushing up, Kaka also gritted his teeth and rushed up with heavy steps.

Later, Paulinho followed him up. Lonosa also rushed to grab the ball, and even Van Dijk, the central defender, followed with a painful look but a determined look.

Except for the goalkeeper, almost everyone in the Southampton team squeezed out the last bit of strength to rush to grab the ball.

And Manchester City was also desperate, they wanted to consume the last bit of time. They wanted to win the game.

With Manchester City's efforts, the stoppage time was quickly dragged into the last minute, and the football was still at their feet.

"There is only one last minute left."

"Hold on a little longer, and we will win!"

"..."

The people of Manchester City kept encouraging each other.

On the other hand, Southampton did not shout anything anymore. It's not that they don't want to shout to encourage themselves, but they have no strength to shout, they have to spend the last bit of strength on pressing.

"Southampton, it's really touching that they are still holding on until now!" Looking at the Southampton team who are making their last efforts on the field, Allardyce couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah. I thought the game would lose suspense early. Unexpectedly, with one man missing, Southampton could still hold on until now and force Manchester City to retreat. It's amazing!" Martin Taylor was also very emotional.

"The referee is looking at the watch and is about to blow the whistle. Manchester City is about to win!"

"It seems that Southampton is really going to lose this game regrettably. But it doesn't matter. Up to now, it can be said that they are honored in defeat."

"It's not that they don't have a chance. It can only be said that God wants them to lose the game. Alas!!!"

Allardyce and Martin Taylor were both sighing in advance for Southampton's defeat, but suddenly Martin Taylor exclaimed.

"Hey~ Southampton got the ball. Pass it."

"C Ronaldo got the ball and shot!!!"

"Oh!! Ronaldo's shot was destroyed!"

"But the referee blew the whistle. It was not to end the game, but to whistle Kompany for a foul."

"Southampton got a free kick in a good position. They still have a chance."

"Oh! God! I didn't expect Southampton to have such an opportunity near the end of the game."

"Who will take the penalty?"

"..."

The commentary was accompanied by the crazy shouts of Southampton fans. However, they soon fell silent. And they looked at the field nervously. Some timid fans, especially female fans, prayed with trembling hands.

"This is our last chance. We must score!"

Sun Yi was also very nervous at this moment. This free kick will be the last kick that determines the fate of the game.

"Who should take this last kick?" Dio also asked nervously.

"C Ronaldo, it must be C Ronaldo!" Sun Yi said without hesitation.

C Ronaldo is the most motivated and courageous player on the field. Sun Yi doesn't think anyone else can take the penalty.

Although there are other players like Kaka who are very good at free kicks, Sun Yi thinks that C Ronaldo should take the penalty.

Without waiting for Sun Yi, the players on the field have already decided who will take the penalty.

C Ronaldo stood firmly in front of the ball.

"C Ronaldo will take the penalty."

"But can he score?"

"You know, he hit the post twice today. And one of them was a free kick."

Seeing Ronaldo spread his legs and pose in his classic free kick posture, everyone watching the game held their breath.

Whether it was Southampton or Manchester City, they were all looking at Ronaldo very nervously at this moment.

Manchester City's players were nervous, but they also had more confidence.

"This ball will definitely not go in."

"God is on our side today. He will bless us!"

"No!!!"

Under everyone's nervous attention, Ronaldo began to run slowly.

From slow to fast, then raised his legs and pulled out hard. The strong thighs, like steel, slammed into the ball with a residual image.

"Boom!"

The ball flew out like a cannonball.

The human wall of up to six people jumped up vigorously. But it was still passed by the ball.

Ederson, who was well prepared, threw himself in the air. He stretched out his hands with all his strength and stretched his body to the extreme. But his palm was still a little short, and the ball passed by.

Got it?

Sun Yi and all the people on the Southampton team clenched their fists, took a deep breath, and prepared to celebrate.

"Bang!!"

Another voice rang out.

This voice instantly made the people on the Manchester City team happy.

This voice instantly made Sun Yi's heart suddenly tighten. It was like being hit hard by someone, uncomfortable.

Frustration, disappointment, depression... all kinds of negative emotions instantly emerged in his heart.

In that instant, Sun Yi felt that all the strength in his body was drained. The whole person was about to collapse. But his eyes suddenly widened again.

This ball, Ronaldo shot the post. However, it did not bounce out of bounds, but bounced into the goal.

Sun Yi rubbed his eyes.

You are not mistaken, the ball is within the goal line, it lies in the goal.

This is~

"Ah~~Goal~Goal!!!!"

"This ball is in!!!!"

Sun Yi roared with all his might, his voice like a wild beast roaring. But no one cared, because tens of thousands of fans roared in the same way.

"Goal, it's in!" Guardiola muttered absentmindedly. But his players on the field were all dazed on the spot.

"Ah!!!!" Ronaldo, who caused all this, was roaring and running wildly.

When he reached the corner flag, he jumped high and made his classic X-cut celebration.

After doing this action, he still couldn't express his excitement. He turned and rushed to the camera.

When he got to the camera, he beat his chest with anger and roared:

"See? God doesn't want us to lose!"
