The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

Ashraf Hakimi, the right back, is very technical. His dribbling and passing are very good, and he often brings unexpected surprises to Manchester United in counterattacks. Ashraf Hakimi has sharp eyes. He always observes the situation on the field and looks for opportunities to counterattack. The central defender combination of Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire is calm and firm. Raphael Varane showed excellent positional sense and interception ability in defense. Every time he defended, he was very decisive and did not give the opponent any chance to take advantage. Although Harry Maguire turned slowly, he had a strong frontal defense ability. He led by example and constantly directed his teammates' defensive positions. Harry Maguire's eyes were full of determination, and every time he shouted, his teammates felt at ease.

In the midfield, Marco Verratti, Rodrigo Hernandez and Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe) worked closely together to resolutely implement the "midfield strangulation tactics" arranged by head coach Mourinho.

Marco Verratti, with his delicate skills and excellent ball control ability, constantly dispatched the team's offense and defense in the midfield. Each of his passes was accurate and imaginative, creating good offensive opportunities for his teammates. Rodrigo Hernandez provided strong support for the team's defense and counterattack with his strong defensive ability and excellent passing skills; and Rodrigo Hernandez was physically strong, and every confrontation made Bayern Munich's offensive players feel strenuous. Pepe, with his vitality and fighting spirit, kept running and pressing in the midfield, causing a lot of trouble for Bayern Munich's midfielders. As a notorious generation of "monks", Pepe's eyes are always full of fighting spirit, and every time he presses, he can terrify his opponents.

At the beginning of the game, Bayern Munich launched a fierce attack. In the third minute, Arjen Robben quickly broke forward after getting the ball on the right. He is extremely fast and his footwork is very delicate, so it is difficult for Manchester United's midfield defenders to stop him. But at this moment, Manchester United's left-back Theo Fernandez appeared in front of Arjen Robben in time, blocking Arjen Robben's route to cut inside.

After Arjen Robben tried to break through several times without success, he had no choice but to pass the ball back to Thomas Muller who came to receive it. After Thomas Muller received the ball, he made a slight adjustment and then shot a long shot. The ball flew towards Manchester United's goal like a cannonball, but the shot from this position did not put much defensive pressure on Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, who held the ball steadily in his arms. Then, David De Gea quickly threw the ball to launch an attack, and he threw the ball to Theo Fernandez. After receiving the ball, Theo Fernandez quickly moved forward. He was so fast that he instantly broke through Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich, the Bayern Munich players who came to defend him.

Then, while dribbling forward, Theo Fernandez calmly observed the position of his teammates. His eyes quickly scanned the court, and his brain made an accurate judgment in an instant. After determining the best passing route, he kicked the ball without hesitation. That pass was powerful and accurate. The football drew a beautiful arc in the air, like a precision-guided missile, accurately finding Romelu Lukaku in the penalty area.

Romelu Lukaku's tall body showed a strong explosive power at that moment. He jumped high, like a ferocious lion pouncing on its prey. However, fate seemed to play a little joke at this moment. Although Lukaku's header was very threatening, the ball eventually went slightly out of the goal, causing the audience to sigh.

The game continued. In the eleventh minute, Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka successfully stole the ball from Marco Verratti near the center circle and quickly launched a counterattack. Leon Goretzka made a precise long pass to Franck Ribery who was running forward at high speed. Franck Ribery rushed past on the left like a flash of lightning. The Manchester United defender closest to him, Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira (Pepe), tried desperately to chase back, but Franck Ribery was too fast. After dribbling past another Manchester United defender, Rodrigo Hernandez, he dribbled into the penalty area. At this time, Manchester United defenders Harry Maguire and Ashraf Hakimi surrounded him from two directions, but Franck Ribery was not afraid. He cleverly dribbled past Harry Maguire. Then he raised his right foot and shot with great force. The ball flew to the lower right corner of the goal like a cannonball. Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea made a desperate save, but Franck RiberyThe shooting angle was too tricky. Although David De Gea's fingers touched the ball, it did not change the direction of the ball.

Just as Franck Ribery raised his hands and prepared to celebrate the goal, a red figure appeared in front of the goal and blocked his goal.

"Pepe! It's Pepe! It's Pepe! The 38-year-old veteran started from the midfield, chased back more than 40 meters at high speed, and finally used his body to block Franck Ribery's goal! Great Pepe, great veteran." Gary Neville in the broadcast studio shouted excitedly.

Seeing the ball blocked by Pepe and then passing by the goal, Franck Ribery was stunned for a moment. He widened his eyes and looked unbelievable. He never thought that this goal that was sure to be scored would not go in. And David De Gea, the goalkeeper of Manchester United not far away, instantly burst into admiration and gratitude. David De Gea strode to Pepe, bent down, stretched out his strong hands, and gently pulled Pepe up. Then, David De Gea opened his arms and gave a big hug.

At this time, the Allianz Arena in Munich was a world of ice and fire. The expectant eyes of Bayern Munich fans dimmed instantly, and sighs surged in the stands like a wave. They held their heads with both hands, their faces full of disbelief. In sharp contrast, the Manchester United fans. They burst into deafening cheers when Pepe successfully rescued the ball. The fans stood up excitedly, waving flags and scarves in their hands, with joy and pride on their faces. They hugged and high-fived each other, releasing their inner excitement.

Perhaps inspired by Pepe's extreme save, the morale of Manchester United's players was greatly boosted. In the 19th minute, Manchester United midfielder Marco Verratti cleverly got rid of the defense of Bayern Munich player Javi Martinez after taking the ball in the midfield.

At this time, Marco Verratti narrowed his eyes slightly, and his brain was like a high-speed computer, quickly analyzing the position and possible running routes of each player. A moment later, he keenly captured an excellent opportunity. He pushed the ground hard, leaned back slightly, and swung his right foot quickly. His leg muscles were tight, like a fully drawn bowstring, full of power. His right foot kicked the bottom of the ball hard, making a crisp sound. The football was like a cannonball, with strong rotation and power, flying towards the front field.

During the flight, the ball drew a beautiful arc and flew towards Erling Haaland who was advancing at high speed with great accuracy. The moment Erling Haaland received the ball, he was like a wild horse, bursting out with amazing speed and strength; he accelerated, and with a simple man-ball pass, he directly shook off Bayern Munich's central defender Mats Hummels, and then used his physical advantage to directly squeeze out another central defender Jerome Boateng who came to defend, and dribbled into the penalty area, directly at goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Erling Haaland began to dribble past the opponent, his legs swinging alternately like lightning, the football bounced back and forth flexibly under his feet, and the dazzling movements were like a wonderful dance; while Manuel Neuer on the other side, his hands were slightly open, his body leaned forward slightly, his eyes were firm and focused, ready to save at any time.

Erling Haaland's movements were full of power and rhythm, and every swing was full of strong explosive power. He raised his right foot, kicked hard, and shot a low shot towards the goal like a flash of lightning. The football flew towards Manuel Neuer's armpit at a very fast speed. And Manuel Neuer's reaction was also very quick, and he made a save at the first time.

At this time, the atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense. Bayern Munich fans stood up nervously, their faces full of worry, their hands clenched tightly, and silently prayed in their hearts that Manuel Neuer could successfully defend. Manchester United fans widened their eyes, full of expectation and excitement, and they shouted Erling Haaland's name in their hearts, hoping that he could open the scoring account for the team again.

Gary Neville's passionate voice in the broadcast studio sounded at this time: "Look! Haaland faces Neuer, this is a duel between a talented striker and a legendary goalkeeper! Haaland's bicycle pass is extremely wonderful, shoot! Shoot!..."

Erling Haaland's shot was very powerful, and he rushed towards the goal with a roar. The speed of this ball was too fast. Although Manuel Neuer's reaction speed was very fast, he was unable to stop the ball from passing through Manuel Neuer.'s armpit and rolled into the goal.

At that moment, the entire stadium seemed to be paused. Then, Manchester United fans burst into deafening cheers. They jumped and cheered excitedly, feeling extremely proud of the team's wonderful goal. Their faces were filled with joy and excitement, and the flags and scarves in their hands were waving in the air, as if celebrating a grand festival. The fans of Bayern Munich fell into a brief silence. They couldn't believe that their team was scored by the opponent at this moment. Their eyes were full of disappointment and helplessness, but they still didn't give up and continued to cheer for their team.

The score became 1:0, and Manchester United led away.

"We are already trailing 0:3 after two rounds, and we also gave Manchester United a valuable away goal. If we want to advance, we need to score four goals in the next period of time. Bayern Munich is now pushed to the edge of the cliff. Niko Kovac must adjust the team's offense as soon as possible, as there is not much time left for Bayern Munich." Owen Hargreaves in the studio said in a low voice with a serious face.
