Star Card System

Seeing Cavani's penalty kick break the net, Alan Shearer couldn't stop praising him.

"Today's Manchester United is completely a dimensionality reduction attack.

“Roma is not on the same level as them at all.

"After just one season, Roma's condition has declined so seriously.

"It's so sad."

Carragher pouted: "Manchester United was lucky today and caught up with Cavani's superb performance. Look at Roma's striker, Dzeko is already 35 years old."

"Don't forget, buddy, Cavani is also 34 years old. How much difference can he make?" Alan Shearer said with a smile. "In the end, Manchester United played with more resilience and fighting spirit in this game."

This time Carragher made no rebuttal.

Because there is no way to refute it.

Manchester United did really well in this game.

Carragher admired his high morale from the bottom of his heart.

However, as a famous Red Army player, he must not praise his old rival.

After thinking about it, he figured out a way to refute.

"Even if Manchester United wins a big victory, so what?

“Even if we defend the Europa League, so what?

"Don't forget, they are a Champions League-level team.

“Now I can only play in the Europa League.

"Torturing the down-and-out wealthy family,

"Do you think it's interesting?

"If you have the ability, you can return to the Champions League next season to be a hero."

Although this sounds unpleasant, there is nothing wrong with it.

Manchester United went through many obstacles in the Europa League, but they really failed to show their strongest strength.

So even though it is now 6-1, many Manchester United fans are happy but also a little disappointed.

How great it would be if we were on the Champions League stage now...

But no matter what, it's not bad to beat the opponent in the Europa League semifinals.

Finally, in stoppage time, Roma relied on a corner kick opportunity and veteran Dzeko scored with a header, helping the team save a little face.

But even so, the score of 6 to 2 also embarrassed them.

The referee blew the whistle to end the game, and the Roman soldiers left the field extremely disappointed.

With the strength of such a big score, Fonseca was already a little shaken.

Tickets for the finals are almost impossible. There is still one month before the end of the league. It is time to consider changing direction and try to leave a way out for next season.

At least strive to be in the top six, so as not to be unable to even play in the European competition next season.

In the end, Manchester United returned victorious at home, and they had already reached the door of the Europa League final.

On May 7, 2021, Manchester United visited the Olympic Stadium in Rome to usher in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

In this game, Manchester United has no pressure.

Not only because they have a four-goal difference, but also because their opponents have surrendered early.

In this game, Roma even put together a substitute lineup to deal with Manchester United as a guest.

It was clear that they had given up hope in this game.

Solskjaer also adjusted Manchester United's lineup accordingly and replaced most of the substitute players.

In addition to several main players such as Matic and Xia Xing, young people are deployed in various positions.

It is very rare to use the stage of the Europa League semi-finals to train young people.

Despite the substitutes, Manchester United still controlled the game in the first half.

In the 29th minute of the game, Smalling was injured and fell to the ground during a scramble and was unable to continue checking.

Darbo replaced him.

This substitution caused Roma to suffer.

Compared with Smalling, Dalber's defensive strength is obviously worse.

In less than ten minutes after the substitution, Manchester United created three opportunities in his position.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Mirante's high pass and low block, Roma would have fallen behind by a big margin.

But despite this, the continuous onslaught was too much for them.

In the 38th minute of the game, Cavani received a pass from Xia Xing in the middle, made a slight adjustment in the penalty area, turned around and volleyed!

The ball hit the net!

1 to 0!

Manchester United opens the scoring!

This shot shows Cavani's world-class forward ability!

Stay strong with old age!

As a result, the total score became 7 to 2, and there was no suspense in the game.

During the halftime break, Solskjaer decisively replaced Xia Xing and Matic to let them rest.

There is no problem at all from now on, just leave it to the young people.

However, after the two men came off the field, Manchester United encountered an onslaught from their opponents.

Although Roma has no hope in this game, it does not mean that they have completely given up on the game.

Rome, full of passion, will never surrender!

In the 56th minute, Roma used a frontcourt collaboration, and Pedro dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area.

Dzeko leaned on Bailly and shot low!

The ball hits the net!

1-1, Roma got a goal back.

Three minutes later, there was another corner kick opportunity for Roma.

Pellegrini's cross found Cristante accurately.

Cristante headed the ball into the net.

2-1, Roma took the lead.

In the 79th minute of the game, during a Roma counterattack, Telles, who was returning to defense in the penalty area, accidentally scored an own goal and poked the ball into the net.

3 to 1, Roma continued to score.

Rome was so powerful at this time!

They even rekindled the hope of overturning Manchester United!

The total score is only 7 to 5!

And we have two away goals!

As long as we score two more goals, we can achieve a great comeback!

At the last moment, Roma fought hard.

Dzeko's shot hit the post, causing Manchester United fans in the stands to exclaim.

Solskjaer on the sidelines also frowned.

He didn't expect the team to encounter such a big trouble.

Without Xia Xing's organization, Manchester United seemed to have changed a team.

If they were eventually reversed by their opponents, they probably wouldn't be able to stay in this season...

At this moment, Manchester United had a hero stand up.

There were several counterattack opportunities, Cavani got the ball in the frontcourt, this time he also received it outside the penalty area and turned quickly.

The opposing defensive players double-teamed and didn't give him space to shoot.

But they didn't expect that Cavani suddenly accelerated and chose to move forward!

As a player who is not good at speed, everyone knows Cavani's characteristics.

One-touch attack ability, header goal ability, ball protection and control ability.

But when Cavani chose to move forward with the ball, the Roma defense didn't expect it!

Two defensive players were passed!

Wonderful dribbling!

Cavani got a single shot!

At this time, there was no teammate around him to support him. At the last moment, all his teammates were defending in the backcourt.

After all, they just had to keep the two-goal advantage.

Now, Cavani can only rely on himself!

Facing goalkeeper Mirante, Cavani lowered his center of gravity.

Cavani is very familiar with this 38-year-old goalkeeper from Juventus' youth training camp.

The two had played against each other many times in Serie A.

At that time, he was the ceiling of Serie A strikers!

Even now, he has a great chance of winning!

The body sank and the center of gravity moved down.

Facing Mirante's attack, Cavani quickly kicked and shot!

The ball went straight to the far corner of the goal!

Mirante fell to the ground quickly!

But he still couldn't touch the ball!

The ball went into the net!

Manchester United scored a goal!

3 to 2!

They will expand their lead again!

There is no suspense at all! (End of this chapter)
