Star Card System

In the first minute of injury time, Manchester United finally scored a goal.

At this moment, all the Manchester United fans celebrated wildly!

The long-suppressed mood can finally be released!

It's not easy!

On the side of the court, Ferran jumped up excitedly and hugged Solskjaer.

Turning his head to look at Carrick, he was smiling and applauding.

"Michael, aren't you excited?"

"What are you excited about? I just said that this ball will definitely go in, no problem, I'm mentally prepared."

"Haha, you guys know better!"

The excited Manchester United coaching staff has completely integrated into the excitement of the stadium.

The Manchester United players on the court also cheered and enjoyed the excitement brought by the equalizer.

But at this moment on the court, the leader of this goal did not lose his composure.

Looking at Greenwood who rushed towards him to celebrate excitedly, Xia Xing had a serious expression and motioned him to retreat!

Go to the goal!

Greenwood was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood.

OK!

He turned and rushed to the goal, holding the ball and ran back.

Only then did Xia Xing nod with satisfaction.

The teammates who were celebrating around Xia Xing also understood the captain's idea at this moment.

Let's make a concerted effort and try to score another goal!

That's right, this is what Xia Xing is thinking at this moment.

Because this period of time is the worst time for the opponent.

They just lost the ball, and now they must be mentally broken. At this time, we must seize the time to attack!

Greenwood ran back with the ball and put it down.

Xia Xing also returned to the half with his teammates.

He looked up at the time and saw that two minutes had passed.

There were four minutes of injury time, and they still had time.

At this moment, the Villarreal players were indeed a little confused.

However, under the command of Emery, they quickly stabilized their formation.

It's hard to say whether their mentality is stable or not, but at least the formation has returned to normal.

But compared with the defense just now, they are under much more pressure.

Losing the ball before the end of the game is too painful for a team.

Similar situations have occurred many times in the history of international football, and even in the Champions League final, thrilling scenes from equalizing to winning the game frequently occurred.

The most classic one is naturally the 1999 season of Manchester United, the triple crown champion.

Manchester United at that time was almost desperate, but in an instant, they equalized the score and shattered Bayern's confidence.

Three minutes later, they scored the winning goal again, completely killing the game and defeating the opponent.

And now, Manchester United also intends to do so.

The game resumed, and Villarreal intended to control the rhythm of the game.

After all, their mentality is unstable now, and problems are inevitable.

But facing the powerful Manchester United, can they defend?

Bacca and Moreno passed the ball to each other, and the ball was handed to the backcourt.

Capoue passed the ball to Pino, and Pino turned around and passed it back.

But just when he turned around, Xia Xing had already rushed up!

Pressing in the frontcourt, this is Xia Xing's specialty!

Tackle and steal the ball!

Before the ball goes out of bounds, he quickly hooks the ball back!

Mata quickly responds!

Manchester United's attack starts again!

Knock it across to Van der Beck!

The three forwards are all sprinting to prepare for the response!

At this time, Van der Beck is in a good position. He sees that there are no defensive players pressing him, so he just kicks it decisively!

A very fast straight shot!

The ball hits the net!

Goalkeeper Rulli leaps and punches the ball out!

Until this moment, Rulli is still the most stable link of Villarreal!

Manchester United's corner kick!

Mata runs to the corner flag area and prepares for a penalty kick.

At this stage, as long as the ball is still dangling in their own penalty area, the Villarreal players are scared.

Now they don't expect a counterattack, they just hope that the game can end the regular 90 minutes faster.

Mata takes a corner kick!

The ball goes straight to the center of the penalty area!

Find a high point!

Maguire jumps high and heads the ball!

The ball is punched out by Rulli!

The position of the header was too straight this time, but Rulli's reaction was also very fast.

Manchester United got the second corner kick.

This time, it was still Mata who took the penalty kick.

He looked into the penalty area, looking for the position of his teammates.

He raised his right arm high and gestured three fingers!

The ball was kicked out and went straight to the front point!

In the chaos, Xia Xing rushed out quickly!

He jumped high and headed the ball!

He rushed to the front point and smashed the ball into the net!

Just when the Manchester United fans were about to celebrate excitedly, they realized that the ball did not go in.

The ball just hit the side net, which looked like a goal.

But this also depended on Rulli's quick reaction.

He jumped up and rubbed the ball with his fingertips, and the ball slightly changed the defense line.

Otherwise it would definitely go into the net.

Manchester United got the third corner kick.

At this time, Mata in the corner flag area looked at the time board above the court.

It was almost three and a half minutes.

The four minutes of stoppage time was about to end.

Maybe the next shot would be Manchester United's last shot.

If the match drags on until extra time or a penalty shootout, there will definitely be no good outcome.

Compared to their opponents, Manchester United seems to have consumed more energy.

This last chance must be seized.

He looked inside the penalty area, and then outside the penalty area.

His eyes fell on Xia Xing.

At this moment, Xia Xing was also looking at him outside the penalty area.

The two looked at each other, and everything was self-evident.

Captain, it's up to you?

No problem, just follow the routine we trained!

But it's not easy...

Let's give it a try!

Okay! Captain, it's up to you!

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and all the words they wanted to say were communicated.

Mata slowly retreated, and he waved towards the penalty area.

At this moment, Greenwood and Rashford were stirring in the penalty area.

High point Matic and Maguire are still the most threatening.

Because Xia Xing just made a forward run, Huang Qian also increased some defensive strength at the front point to prevent Xia Xing from hitting again.

At this moment, Mata has started to run up, accelerate, and pass the ball!

The ball went straight to the penalty area!

It seems to be looking for a high point header!

But just when everyone determined his strategy, the ball suddenly rotated outward!

This is an outward rotation!

Go straight outside the penalty area!

Find Xia Xing!

This pass is very accurate!

And Xia Xing's running position was also decisive!

From the header feint at the front point to the quick move to the middle!

Xia Xing was in position and the ball landed accurately!

After a slight adjustment, he kicked and shot!

The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

The defenders who were just staring at the near corner expected the ball to attack from here and expected that the shooter might be Xia Xing, but they did not expect it to be this way!

The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

The defender jumped high and wanted to head the ball to clear the siege!

But it was too late!

Goalkeeper Rulli moved quickly and wanted to stop the ball!

But he failed to perform world-class defense for the third time in a row!

When his fingertips touched the air and his body quickly fell to the ground, he had closed his eyes.

No more, the game is over... (End of this chapter)
