I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

After Rooney scored, he was so excited that he turned around and ran, ran all the way out of the field, rushed directly in front of the fans' stands, opened his arms, clenched his fists, and roared with all his strength.

The fans in the front row stretched out their hands to squeeze Rooney's bald head, while the fans in the audience gave out deafening cheers.

Old Trafford just exploded!

No one expected that in less than a minute of the opening, Rooney shot a long shot, and in less than three minutes, he broke Monaco's goal with a zero-angle shot!

His form is really good!

Manchester United players are in excellent form tonight!

Rooney roared excitedly at the fans in the stands, and the teammates behind him rushed up one after another and pulled him back.

Everyone is so excited, so excited.

1:0, the total score is 4:4!

According to this score, Manchester United will eliminate Monaco to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League, because according to the rules of the Champions League, when the total score is tied, the team with the most away goals will advance, and Manchester United has three away goals, and Monaco's away goals are temporary. to zero.

In other words, Rooney's goal completely reversed Monaco!

How can this Manchester United player not be excited?

The teammates cheered loudly in Rooney's ear, and coupled with the loud noises at the scene, he couldn't tell who was talking. The only thing he can be sure of is that this group of guys is not much better than him.

Every Manchester United player is extremely excited and excited.

Champions League semi-finals! They have already seen the top four beckoning!

For any team, being able to break into the Champions League semi-finals can be described as a huge success.

Manchester United is no exception. Even if they are the defending champions, they have won four Champions League trophies in team history!

Manchester United's celebration continued until the referee came to stop their celebration after receiving a complaint from the Monaco players, and they returned to the field and prepared to continue the game.

………………

sidelines,

Monaco coach Jardim was a little angry, a little angry, and a little dazed.

He knew that Monaco would definitely face tremendous pressure in the game at Old Trafford, but he never expected that his team would concede a goal in an away game.

Jardim can be considered a battle-tested coach, and he quickly forced himself to calm down and think about how to deal with the game next.

Manchester United's reckless attack at the beginning, coupled with the fact that they must have focused on rehearsing their offense and defense against Monaco's left flank before the game, made Manchester United's start so smooth, and Rooney's state was indeed bursting.

But these are no longer important. The most important thing is that Monaco is now behind and the rhythm of the game is messed up. What should I do? The next step is to press out and fight? Or should we stabilize our position first and plot slowly?

Jardim frowned and struggled for a while, gritted his teeth secretly, and walked to the sidelines to signal the team to actively counterattack, must regain control of the ball, and strive to score again.

This is also a helpless move, because Monaco is now at a disadvantage. If his team doesn't push for the goal, there's really no chance.

Moreover, Monaco's offensive line is very strong, at least more reliable than their defensive line. At this time, Jardim chose to trust his offensive players.

………………

After Rooney scored a goal, Monaco began to try to control the situation of the game. But Manchester United obviously don't want to give up the advantage they gained so hard in the opening game and give it up to their opponents. The three offensive players in the frontcourt began to actively press down on Monaco's defenders, and the midfielders also pressed on players including Moutinho and Bakayoko at the same time, which made it difficult for Monaco to pass the ball effectively to the frontcourt go.

It was not until the tenth minute that Monaco got a chance. Falcao kicked the goal from the right side of the penalty area, about 15 meters away from the goal, but the shot was blocked by Smalling, and then flew out of the baseline , and did not pose much threat to Manchester United's goal.

Three minutes later, Monaco launched a long pass again. Coulibaly judged the landing point in advance and blocked Lacazette with his body, forcing the latter to foul during the scramble, and was whistled and warned by the referee.

The two offenses failed to pose a threat, and Monaco's offense was obviously not as sharp as when it was at home.

………………

In the game, Rooney actively presses and oppresses the frontcourt, but also observes his opponent to some extent. He found that the reason why Monaco did not perform well was not only because they were taken the lead by Manchester United at the beginning, lost their energy and disrupted the rhythm, but also because their physical fitness was really bad.

This week, not only Manchester United played three games a week, but also Monaco. After a fierce battle with Manchester United in the middle of last week, they played Dijon again at the weekend.

Dijon is deeply trapped in the relegation zone, and the current relegation pressure is very high. They played very tenaciously at the Stade Louis II. Monaco conceded a goal in the first half, scored two goals in the second half, won a difficult victory, and continued to lead the Ligue 1 standings with a 3-point advantage.

Monaco does not have the thickness of a bench like Manchester United and can carry out large-scale rotations. Although Jardim has done his best, he has rotated in some positions. But for the key players in the team, he did not dare to rotate easily, especially during the critical period of the championship with Paris Saint-Germain.

Therefore, many players in Monaco also played a full 90 minutes in the Ligue 1 on weekends.

Fighting three fierce battles in six days, the most obvious thing is that they all look very tired.

After Manchester United loses the ball, they always launch an on-the-spot counter-grab immediately. The purpose is not only to get the ball back, but also to delay the opponent. This reflects the advantages of the players' physical fitness and running ability. On the one hand, it was because of tactics and habits, and on the other hand, physical fitness. When Monaco scored the front of Manchester United's penalty area after grabbing the ball, Manchester United's defense was basically in place, and the next step was the tough battle.

But on the other hand, after Manchester United stole the ball several times, they played a quick counterattack and could quickly create a threat.

For example, in the 20th minute of the game, after Monaco left-back Mendy got the ball, Rooney rushed towards him quickly. The young French left-back didn't know that he was intimidated by Rooney as the number one football player in the world. Wei Ming, still lacking mental preparation, seemed a little flustered, and hastily passed the ball back to central defender Glick.

The terrible thing is that Harry Kane was near Glick and immediately intercepted the Polish defender.

Glick lost the ball, Harry Kane dribbled into the penalty area and hit the goal directly. But this shot came in a hurry, the shot was too angled and lacked strength, and was saved by Subasic as if with the help of a god.

The Monaco goalkeeper made a very crucial save!

When the ball flew out, Rashford was about to miss it when he caught up, but Jamerson took the lead to clear the ball at the critical moment.

Although the crisis was resolved, Mendy's mistake still made Monaco break out in a cold sweat.

………………

After insisting on a mad attack for 20 minutes, Manchester United finally chose to defend and counterattack.

Monaco obviously has problems with their physical fitness, and they were caught off guard in the opening game, which made their players not excited enough and the enthusiasm for the game was not enough. At least compared to the Manchester United players who played like chicken blood in the home game, Monaco is not as excited as Manchester United, even compared to the first round.

From the twenty-fifth minute onwards, with Manchester United's full defense, the game began to play a bit dull.

Monaco created a very good chance in the 28th minute. After Bernardo Silva dribbled the ball and forced it forward, he passed the ball over the top to the right side of the penalty area. Falcao directly volleyed the goal from a small angle. Hit directly on the side net.

If this goal is scored, it will be very similar to Rooney's kick just now.

However, although Falcao is also a top striker, compared with Rooney, the current World Footballer of the Year who is in good shape, his strength is still a little bit worse.

After that, neither side created too many chances. After the start, Manchester United chose to defend and counterattack. Monaco was not in a particularly ideal state and was suppressed. The rhythm was a bit chaotic and they failed to play their ideal performance.

………………

During the intermission, both Rooney and the head coach Ye Su repeatedly reminded the Manchester United players that Monaco will not let it go, and they will definitely exert their strength in the second half.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Monaco suddenly stepped up their offensive. First, Moutinho picked a pass from the front of the penalty area, and Falcao suddenly inserted into the penalty area. Eight meters in front of the goal, he competed with Smalling for the top, but the angle of the header was too straight, and it was directly confiscated by De Gea.

Just a minute later, Fellaini tripped Bernardo Silva again and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

Bernardo Silva took the free-kick, but it went over the wall and landed directly into De Gea's arms.

In the following period of time, Monaco continued to strengthen its offensive, and players such as Falcao, Lacazette, Bernardo Silva and others got opportunities successively.

Manchester United quickly made substitution adjustments, and Mbappe replaced Mbappe.

Rooney has played in the last three games. He came off the bench in the away game, played another 80 minutes in the game against Chelsea on the weekend, and played another 70 minutes in this game. In addition, he is a veteran who is about to turn 32 years old after all. There are inevitably problems with physical fitness.

With the appearance of Mbappe, except for the new Mbappe, the rest of Manchester United's players retreated to the front of the penalty area to help the team defend, leaving only Mbappe, who has just appeared on the field with good physical fitness and fast speed, in front, ready Fight back against Monaco.

Lacazette soon had one of his best second-half chances, going offside into the box to face De Gea directly, but the first kick was mishandled and Smalling quickly caught up and forced the French striker to volley. off.

Lacazette immediately overtook the referee to protest, thinking that Smalling was pulling his jersey, but the referee ignored it.
