Celta Vigo’s top star, Nolito, turned to Manchester City last summer, resulting in a serious decline in the team’s overall strength, and reaching the Europa League semi-finals was largely focused on Europe, which led to a mess in the league results.

Manchester United’s trip to Celta in the Europa League semi-final was at 8pm on Thursday, three hours after Ajax hosted Lyon, winning 4-1 at the renamed Johan Cruyff Arena thanks to two goals from Dorberg, Younis and Bertrand Traore.

Mourinho, who followed this semifinal, probably guessed that the first place to advance to the Europa League final was most likely Ajax, looking at Van Carrey who was warming up on the pitch, and said in his heart: “This may be a fate that cannot be avoided~”

Valedos Stadium has a capacity of 31,800 fans, and for safety reasons, only 30,000 fans are admitted to the entire stadium, of which 28,000 are home fans and 2,000 are away fans.

At 8pm local time, the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals between Celta and Manchester United was announced.

Le Sport commentator Zhan Junlang said: “The second semi-final of the 2016-2017 Europa League season was announced at the Valedos Stadium, wearing a sky blue shirt and white pants for the home team Celta, wearing a red shirt and black pants for the visiting team Manchester United…”

In terms of the squad, Manchester United can be said to be crushing, the goalkeeper and central defender position is even suspected of ‘releasing water’, the goalkeeper uses substitute goalkeeper Romero, central defender Van Dijk because of representing Southampton in the first half of the Europa League group stage this season, according to the relevant rules of European competition, he can no longer represent Manchester United in the second half of the Europa League knockout round.

Although Celta are at home, they set up the bus considering that Manchester United are Premier League champions.

Obviously, it’s a tribute to the Premier League champions.

Given the choice, Mourinho has exposed more defensive problems than Celta’s disrespect for Manchester United in the past.

Breaking dense defense is the most difficult tactic on the planet, and Mourinho is a defensive expert who is not particularly good at attacking, so he can only rely on Van Carrey and Pogba, who has returned from injury, to solve the team’s lack of direct threat in positional attack.

The first 30 minutes passed quickly, Manchester United took the full initiative, the shooting was overwhelming, and there were so many people in front of the goal that there was no way to directly threaten Sergio Alvarez to guard the goal.

Van Carrey was very active, but Celta was heavily positioned in the area where he was active, so much so that he was unable to fight with two fists and four hands.

With his super dribbling ability, he can keep the football intact, but the Celta defenders are simply like untamed beasts to defend, extremely fierce, if not for the talent [not easy to get injured], it is estimated that they have already taken a break.

For this, two Celta defenders were shown yellow cards.

Van Carrey believes the likelihood of knocking on Celta’s goal will rise over time.

Just after the forty-five minutes of the first half, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the scoreboard showed no change from 0:0.

In the second half, Manchester United, who were dominant overall, quickly took the initiative and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks towards the Celta goal.

It is a pity that the thunder is loud and the rain is small, and the momentum is inseparable.

Mourinho, who stood in the visiting coach’s command area, frowned and looked back at the bench from time to time.

In the 60th minute of the game, Manchester United took the lead in making personnel changes, with captain Wayne Rooney replacing Fellaini and strengthening the attacking playmaking up front.

It has to be said that this adjustment has an immediate effect, Pogba’s withdrawal from any playmaking back can give full play to his wide vision and precise passing, while Wayne Rooney is proficient in passing and long-range shooting, and his coming on completely changed the pattern of Manchester United’s attacking front.

Rooney is experienced in the game, knows when to pass the ball, knows when to shoot from distance, and he is keenly aware that the Celta defender is too focused on Van Carrey, receiving a direct pass from Pogba and decisively smashing a cold arrow in front of the arc of the big penalty area.

Thankfully, Alvarez reacted quickly, otherwise Manchester United would have taken the lead away from home.

Celta coach Berizzo raised his eyebrows and gradually felt the pressure.

Three minutes later, Van Carrey broke through from the left to attract enough defenders before decisively splitting the ball to the forward Rooney, who stopped and dodged Pablo Hernandez’s defence and again fired a long-range shot from outside the box.

The rising football made a wonderful arc in mid-air, grazing the outside of the right goal post to create the bottom line…

“woowoowowooooooooo——”

The Celta fans in the audience let out an exclamation.

Berrizzo realised the team should no longer focus all its attention on the active Van Carrey, after all, Manchester United are not just Van Carrey.

Unexpectedly, only five minutes into the game, Manchester United scored.

Van Carrey who broke through the ball accelerated forward, Rooney who received the ball adjusted slightly, the Celta defender thought that Rooney was going to shoot from distance again, and quickly blocked, the wide-sighted Rooney fake shot real pass was just right, the football was close to the ground from the left rib of the attack to the left rib of the box.

Dragging back Longcaria, who was dragged at the back, saw Van Carrey emerge from the entire back line and chase after the football, he subconsciously raised his right arm to remind assistant referee Van Carrey that he was offside.

I saw the assistant referee running with Van Carrey who was inserted in front, and the side flag was close to his body, that is… Van Carrey is not offside!

By the time Longcaria realized that Van Carrey was not offside, it was too late, Van Carrey adjusted the outside of his right foot and quickly followed the goal, and the football quickly sneaked into the net from under the crotch of goalkeeper Alvarez against the ground.

0:1

Manchester United away to lead home side Celta!

Trailing Manchester United at home, Celta consciously stepped up their attack, but given United’s super counter-attacking ability, their offensive reinforcement was very limited, and they simply did not have the courage to pour out.

Mourinho stepped up his defence in the final period to be on the safe side, keeping the away goals in hand until the end of the game.

However, Van Carrey was super capable, and in the 86th minute of the game, he seized a defensive hole in Celta, scored the ball and quickly counterattacked, and the iconic one-horse breakthrough was shown for the first time at the Valedos Stadium.

The referee on duty sounded the final whistle of the game, and the scoreboard showed the score at 0:2.

“Game over!”

Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun shouted hoarsely: “Van Carrey has scored two goals away from Manchester United! 2-0, beating home team Celta, it can be said that he almost reached the Europa League final with most of his feet. ”

The two-man Van Carrey once again came into the media and fans’ spotlight, contributing two goals in his visit to Celta, bringing the Europa League total to 10, surpassing Roma’s Dzeko and Zenit’s Giuliano to top the Europa League top scorers.

Some media have talked about Van Carrey’s difficulty in setting a Europa League single-season goal record this season and even in his career, and ‘Tiger’ Falcao once set a record of 18 goals in a single season in the 2010-2011 Europa League.

It’s not that Van Carrey has a problem with his goalscoring efficiency, but he has only two games left in Van Carrey this season.

If you can participate in the Europa League group stage, there is a high probability of breaking Falcao’s goal record, and it is difficult to create another Europa League in his career because his level is too high, and the team he plays for will inevitably be a big team participating in the Champions League, which is equivalent to saying that this Europa League may be the only Europa League in his career.
