The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

At the moment the ball bounced out, Manchester United's Cody Gakpo's mind was like a flash of lightning, "Opportunity! This is my chance!" He was like a cheetah ready to go. As soon as the ball bounced out, he rushed to the point where the ball landed like lightning. His eyes were firm and sharp, and he had only one thought in his mind, which was to shoot the ball into the net. While running at high speed, he kept thinking in his heart: "I must grasp it, I can't let this opportunity slip away, I want to be the hero of the team." The moment Cody Gakpo approached the ball, his right foot quickly raised and kicked the ball with a very standard shooting action.

However, Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer once again showed his world-class goalkeeper style. He quickly stood up after falling to the ground to save Romelu Lukaku's shot. At the moment Cody Gakpo shot, he seemed to have a magical premonition and his body moved quickly again. His hands were as hard as steel, and he successfully saved the ball when it was about to cross the goal line. The ball bounced on Manuel Neuer's palm and then rolled out of the penalty area.

A series of wonderful attacks and defenses made the audience in the audience exclaim.

On the court, after Manuel Neuer successfully saved the ball, his heart was full of anger and unwillingness. He roared loudly at the team's defenders, and the roar seemed to be an angry lion roaring. His eyes revealed his dissatisfaction with the defenders' defense, and he seemed to tell them that Manchester United could not get such a good opportunity again.

On the Manchester United side, Cody Gakpo looked annoyed. He held his head with both hands, and his eyes were full of self-blame. He kept blaming himself in his heart: "Why didn't I score? I could have kicked it more tricky just now, why was I so anxious, I really shouldn't have." He knew that this was a great chance to score, but he wasted it. He was filled with regret, constantly replaying the shooting scene in his mind, wondering if he could have done better at the moment of shooting. His face was full of frustration.

On the sidelines, Manchester United coach Mourinho, who had raised his hands, reluctantly put his hands down after the ball was saved, with a look of disappointment on his face. Then he began to shout on the sidelines, reminding the players not to be discouraged, to continue to maintain offensive pressure, and to pay attention to the defensive position to prevent Bayern from taking advantage of this opportunity to counterattack. At the same time, when Cody Gakpo passed by him, he quickly gave Cody Gakpo a few words of advice.

After this near miss, the players of Bayern Munich showed anxious expressions on their faces. They knew that if they fell behind by two goals in the first half, the game in the second half would become extremely difficult.

So, the players of Bayern Munich began to strengthen their offense to reduce defensive pressure. Robert Lewandowski, the forward at the front, kept jumping up and competing for the top in the penalty area, trying to use his header advantage to equalize the score. However, Manchester United's central defenders Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire did a great job in air defense, and they repeatedly resolved Lewandowski's headers.

Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery also continued to create threats on the wing. In the 18th minute of the game, Arjen Robben successfully got rid of Theo Fernandez's defense in a breakthrough, but the inside line was blocked by Manchester United's central defender Raphael Varane. He was forced to cross the ball from the bottom and passed it into the penalty area. Robert Lewandowski jumped high and prepared to head the ball. But Arjen Robben's hasty cross was not accurate, giving Manchester United's defense time to react. Harry Maguire used his body to block Robert Lewandowski's shooting line at a critical moment, blocking the ball and slowing down the speed of the ball. Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea attacked and pressed the ball firmly under him.

In the 25th minute of the game, it was Arjen Robben again. He used his speed and technique to successfully break through Theo Fernandez's defense. He did not choose to continue to go down the bottom, but with his years of game experience and keen insight into the situation on the field, he decisively chose to cut inside. His footwork was skillful and smooth, as if the ball was glued to his feet. Manchester United central defender Raphael Varane quickly came to defend, but Arjen Robben was too fast, and he could only watch Arjen Robben cut into a very threatening position.

At this time, Robert Lewandowski in the penalty area was like a lurking cheetah, staring closely at the ball at Arjen Robben's feet. His body leaned forward slightly, his muscles tensedTension, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time. Arjen Robben's eyes also locked on Robert Lewandowski in an instant. He did not hesitate at all, and quickly passed the ball with his precise footwork.

The ball was like a precision-guided artillery shell, rolling rapidly towards Robert Lewandowski. Robert Lewandowski's eyes were fixed on the flying ball, his mind was clear, and all distractions were thrown out of the sky. At that moment, there was only this ball and the goal in front of him in his world.

When the ball rolled to his feet, Robert Lewandowski showed his superb skills as a top center forward. His body reacted quickly, with his left foot as the axis, his right foot gently pulled, and his whole body turned along with the trend, completing the turning action in a very short time. His movements were done in one go, without any dragging.

After completing the turn, Robert Lewandowski did not give Harry Maguire, the Manchester United central defender who was defending him closely, any chance to react. He kicked the ball hard with his right foot. His shot was so powerful that the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball under his feet, with a whistling sound.

At this time, Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea stood firmly on the goal line like an insurmountable mountain. His eyes were fixed on the flying ball, and his body was like a fully drawn bow, ready to shoot out at any time. When he saw Robert Lewandowski shooting, his body reacted quickly. He kicked his feet hard, and his whole body rushed towards the ball like a flash of lightning.

David De Gea's reaction speed was extremely fast, and his hands were as hard as steel. At the moment when the ball was about to fly into the goal, his hands hit the ball accurately. The ball encountered huge resistance in his palm, and the speed of flight slowed down instantly. But because the power of Robert Lewandowski's shot was too great, the ball still slipped out of David De Gea's hands. However, David De Gea's save has successfully changed the direction of the ball's flight.

The ball drew an arc in the air and then bounced out of the bottom line.

When David De Gea successfully saved this shot, Manchester United fans cheered and were proud of David De Gea's wonderful save. Bayern Munich fans sighed and regretted that the team missed such a great chance to score.

Bayern Munich won a corner kick.

Thiago Alcantara do Nascimento, who took the corner kick, stood in the corner of the court with sharp eyes, carefully observing the position distribution of teammates and opposing defensive players in the penalty area. He took a deep breath and kicked the ball hard into the penalty area. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, carrying the expectations of all Bayern people, and flew into the melee in the penalty area.

In the penalty area, the players on both sides were like a group of hungry cheetahs, desperately scrambling for a favorable position. Tall players such as Mats Hummels and Robert Lewandowski were closely guarded by Manchester United players, while Thomas Muller, an experienced striker with a keen sense of smell, had already started early and quietly found his best position in the crowd.

When the corner kick came, Thomas Muller jumped high like a ferocious lion. His body was fully stretched out, as if it was integrated with the air. His eyes were fixed on the football spinning in the air, revealing great concentration and desire. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the whole world was waiting for Thomas Muller's impact.

Thomas Muller's forehead hit the football hard, making a crisp muffled sound. He used all his strength to head the ball towards the goal. The ball, carrying Thomas Muller's strength and determination, flew towards the goal like a cannonball.

However, fate is sometimes so cruel. The ball that Thomas Muller headed out flew towards the goal at a very fast speed, but it was also gradually deviating from the best track. It brushed the top edge of the crossbar, slightly higher than the crossbar, and then flew into the stands.

At this moment, all the players of the Bayern Munich team showed disappointment. After Thomas Muller landed, he hugged his head in annoyance. He couldn't believe that his header just now didn't hit the target. He was full of self-blame in his heart. He knew that this was a great opportunity to equalize the score, but he failed to grasp it.

Bayern MunichHead coach Niko Kovac stamped his feet anxiously on the sidelines, knowing the value of this opportunity. The Bayern Munich fans in the stands also sighed with regret, as they had expected Thomas Muller's header to break the deadlock and bring new hope to the team.

Manchester United players breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and they were glad that they had escaped. Head coach Mourinho stood on the sidelines and called Rodrigo Hernandez to his side, giving him instructions and asking him to convey the next tactical points to other players on the field.

While defending well, Manchester United was also looking for opportunities to attack. Romelu Lukaku continued to put pressure on Bayern Munich's back line at the front of the penalty area. His physical confrontation made Bayern Munich's central defender combination Mats Hummels and Niklas Sule miserable. Cody Gakpo kept running in and out of the wing, trying to cooperate with the players in the middle.
