733: Defeat Manchester United again and advance to the semi-finals of the FA Cup!

In the midfield, under United's high pressure, De Bruyne directly cut off the football from Carrick's feet.

The Manchester United fans at the scene angrily expressed their incomprehension and disappointment.

Carrick, what are you doing?

Seriously, they all can't understand Carrick's operation?

Carrick obviously has a better chance to play the ball, why doesn't he play the ball? Why stick a football to your feet? Why do you have to watch the ball being stolen by De Bruyne?

They really can’t figure it out!

An old comrade like Carrick shouldn't have such a problem, right?

But he made such a low-level mistake at the beginning, easily allowing De Bruyne to steal the ball, and putting Manchester United's defense into complete passivity.

The vulnerabilities in Manchester United's defense were instantly exposed in front of Crystal Palace.

Danger!

A midfield master like De Bruyne would naturally not give up such a good opportunity. As soon as he stole the ball, he quickly pushed the football directly behind Bailly who was rushing out. There, Salah quickly made a diagonal pass, inserted directly behind Bailly, easily stopped the ball, and directly faced Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.

And Manchester United's other central defender Ginter had no time to pounce on Salah.

Bailey, this guy, was out of position defensively, causing a huge crisis.

After Salah stopped the ball, he directly rotated his left leg and quickly swept the football towards the lower corner of the goal.

The football clung to the turf and shot toward the lower corner of Manchester United's goal.

De Gea in front of the goal reacted very quickly. He immediately dived to the side and stretched out his arms.

It's a pity that he still didn't touch the football, and the football quickly rolled into the Manchester United goal.

Three to zero, Crystal Palace expanded its lead and it was Salah who scored.

Then, Tong Yi directly replaced Salah with Yan Yufeng.

This is to protect Salah!

After all, the overall situation has been decided now, and there is no need to continue to put these main players on the court. Moreover, the Manchester United players had lost control of their emotions at this time, and their defensive movements were very large, and some even rushed directly towards people. In order to prevent these main players from being injured, it was the right choice to replace them in advance.

Hua Changqing and the others in the stands had smiles on their faces when they saw Yan Yufeng coming on as a substitute.

Sure enough, Tong Yi is still a patriot.

Although when they first met, Tong Yi did not agree in person. But this still allowed Yan Yufeng to come on as a substitute, which showed that Tong Yi still accepted their opinions.

Under the premise that it does not affect the team's performance, it is really feasible to let Yan Yufeng play more.

Even after the substitutions, Crystal Palace still controlled the situation and frequently threatened Manchester United's goal. This really made Manchester United unable to see any hope, and all they could see was despair.

However, in the 11th minute of the second half, Manchester United almost broke through the Crystal Palace goal.

This time, it was a direct and accurate long pass from Gentel in the backcourt. He accurately found Morata who was advancing in the frontcourt.

This time Morata was not offside and created a good opportunity.

But his explosive shot from close range was directly pinned down by goalkeeper Maignan, trying to keep the goal!

Seeing this, the Manchester United fans were even more speechless.

We all don’t know what to say to you, Morata, do you really only score offside goals? Have you improved on every ball that is not offside?

Of course, many people also think that the main reason for this goal was that Van Dijk returned to defense in time and interfered with Morata's shot. Otherwise, Morata could easily send the football into the goal.

The main contributor to Crystal Palace's goal was not Maignan, but Van Dijk!

At this time, Tong Yi made another substitution. He replaced Van Dijk with Diaz and replaced De Bruyne with Sabitzer to protect the main players.

Seeing this, Manchester United fans instantly regained their hope!

If Crystal Palace replaces all the main players, won't their Manchester United team have a chance?

The remaining Manchester United fans immediately cheered for the Manchester United team and inspired the Manchester United players to strengthen their attack.

The Manchester United players on the court were indeed actively attacking, and they did not give up.

This makes Mourinho quite satisfied. Although the players are not in high spirits, they are not directly ruined.

Perhaps this is the bottom line of wealthy families, right?

At this time, the Manchester United players were still actively fighting and attacking.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Manchester United also got a corner kick opportunity.

Sanchez, who came on as a substitute, arced the football towards the center of the penalty area. Mora jumped up high in the middle of the penalty area, showing his superb header ability. He overpowered Dias and swung the football towards the Crystal Palace goal with a flick of his head.

With a clang, the football hit the crossbar of the center goal hard and then bounced off the baseline.

The Manchester United fans at the scene were really disappointed and very sorry.

This ball is really threatening, and goalkeeper Maignan has no chance at all.

Unfortunately, the football was slightly higher and hit the crossbar.

Otherwise, Manchester United would have scored a goal at this time, and the Manchester United people should have sounded the clarion call for a counterattack.

Mourinho on the sidelines also felt very regretful, holding his head in his hands and feeling regretful.

And Tong Yi

Bian also got up and immediately came to the sidelines, reminding the Crystal Palace players to pay attention to defense and not to relax.

The Crystal Palace players waved to Tong Yi to show that they understood.

The goal kick was kicked out by Crystal Palace with a big kick, and the football flew quickly into the Manchester United half.

Both Ginter and Giroud jumped high and competed for the header.

It's a pity that both of them paid too much attention to physical resistance, so they failed to hit the football, and the football slipped directly into Manchester United's penalty area. Gnabry quickly rushed into the penalty area and almost poked the football into the Manchester United goal before De Gea.

This ball was still faster by De Gea. He was just a little bit faster and he hugged the football.

Then Gnabry rushed up and hung on De Gea's body, and then fell to the ground hard.

Fortunately, neither of them was injured, otherwise there would have been a big problem.

In this ball, Dean still punished Gnabry for a foul.

Crystal Palace fans also expressed that there was nothing wrong with this. The ball was indeed a foul by Gnabry.

The fans of Manchester United were very dissatisfied. They all felt that Dean should be shown a yellow card for this goal. Gnabry's action was really too dangerous. That is to say, De Gea was lucky not to be injured, otherwise De Gea might have been reimbursed for the season.

So, this should definitely be a yellow card.

The Manchester United fans were very dissatisfied and booed Dean wildly.

Dean's face was expressionless. He didn't think it was a flagrant foul. This is just because Gnabry did not brake the car, and the movement did not look big, and he also stopped his feet. Otherwise, why do you think De Gea was not injured?

The Manchester United fans were just unhappy and cursed Dean wildly.

Amidst these curses, De Gea immediately passed the football into the Crystal Palace penalty area with a long pass.

Morata in the penalty area immediately jumped up and headed the ball.

Unfortunately, the football was pushed out by Dias in the penalty area and the clearance was successful.

The football came to Llorente's feet, and he immediately passed the football quickly to the wing with a diagonal pass. Theo on the wing immediately came to the football and pushed the football to Sabitzer who was returning in the frontcourt. Manchester United's defensive players all rushed towards Sabitzer.

Then Sabitzer unexpectedly passed the football without stopping it.

This was beyond the expectations of all Manchester United players, and then the football quickly rolled past them, continued to roll behind them, and came to the feet of Yan Yufeng on the wing.

Yes, Yan Yufeng and Gnabry switched positions here. Both of them are double five-footed players and can play on both sides, so they often defend and create trouble for Manchester United's defense Qiuyunmen. This time Yan Yufeng immediately turned around after receiving the ball, quickly moved forward with the ball, and cut inside the Manchester United penalty area.

.

Yan Yufeng was very fast and reached the penalty area in two or three steps. The Manchester United fans were extremely nervous.

Danger.

Manchester United's center back Bailey immediately stepped forward to intercept Yan Yufeng.

At this time, Yan Yufeng suddenly made an inverted triangle cross and quickly passed the football to the penalty spot.

Giroud, who rushed up quickly, immediately swung his legs to meet the ball and volleyed. Ginter immediately slid over and used his huge body to block the blast. Who knew that Giroud didn't shoot at all, but made a fake move, directly deceiving Ginter and goalkeeper De Gea.

The football slipped under Giroud's legs and slid to his side.

Sabitzer rushed forward and hit the football hard with his kick. The football shot out quickly, like a cannonball.

The ball was so fast that De Gea, who was in front of the goal, had no time at all and could only watch the football fly into the far top corner of the goal.

4-0, Crystal Palace expanded the score, and the scorer was Sabitzer who came on as a substitute.

The goal was quite beautiful. The Crystal Palace fans were very happy and cheered, chanting Sabitzer's name. Sabitzer also rushed out excitedly and performed a passionate sliding kneel. In this game, Crystal Palace completely sealed the victory and officially advanced to the semi-finals of this season's FA Cup.

Of course the game isn't over yet at this point, but it's almost there.

There is still time for Manchester United, but almost no one can believe that they can reverse the game and eliminate Crystal Palace to advance to the semi-finals of this season's FA Cup. Even at this time, it was rare to see Manchester United fans in the Old Trafford Stadium. They were all annoyed by the Manchester United players. They were very disappointed with the team's performance in this game. Not satisfied.

However, inside the stadium, the Manchester United players did not give up. They were still attacking.

Not to mention, their efforts have achieved good results.

In the 85th minute of the game, Manchester United's Carrick made a wonderful pass. The football came to Sanchez's feet. Sanchez immediately took the ball into the Crystal Palace penalty area and faced the attack. Goalkeeper Maignan, Sanchez suddenly kicked off and shot through Maignan's wicket, and the football then rolled into the Crystal Palace goal.

One to four, Manchester United scored a face-saving goal.

But to be honest, this goal did come a little late, and many Manchester United fans didn't see it and didn't say anything. And there wasn't much time left for Manchester United. They simply didn't have time to score another goal to reverse the game. This is at best a consolation goal, and it doesn't change the fact that Manchester United lost.

Although the Manchester United players still did not give up and were still attacking fiercely, they really did not score again.

In the end, Manchester United lost 1 to 4 at their home court and was eliminated.
