The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

In the following time, the game was very intense, with both sides going back and forth and neither side giving in. Bayern Munich constantly created opportunities through high-pressure pressing, while Manchester United threatened Manuel Neuer's goal through midfield strangling defense and full-back counterattacks.

In the 26th minute, after taking the ball on the left, Frank Ribery of Bayern Munich broke through the defense of Rodrigo Hernandez and Marco Verratti in succession and drove the ball into Manchester United's half; right-back Ashraf Hakimi came to assist in defense at the first time, sticking closely to Frank Ribery to prevent him from continuing to rush forward.

Through several previous direct confrontations, Frank Ribery also had enough understanding of Ashraf Hakimi's defensive ability; he did not choose to get too entangled with Ashraf Hakimi, and after using his peripheral vision to observe the situation in the penalty area, he made a cross, and the ball accurately found Robert Lewandowski in the penalty area.

Robert Lewandowski jumped high and headed the ball. However, the ball was saved by Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea. Ashraf Hakimi cleverly grabbed the second point and quickly dribbled forward. He was so fast that he instantly broke through the Bayern Munich left back David Alaba who was pressing forward. At this time, Bayern Munich's left side was empty, and Ashraf Hakimi passed the ball to Edinson Cavani who was advancing at high speed.

Edinson Cavani continued to advance after receiving the ball. At this time, the entire left side of Bayern Munich was already clear; and Manchester United's other two forwards Romelu Lukaku and Erling Haaland also advanced to Bayern Munich's half from several directions at the first time.

As Edinson Cavani approached the penalty area of ​​Bayern Munich with the ball, center back Jerome Boateng rushed forward to block Edinson Cavani's attack route; at this time, Romelu Lukaku in the middle and Erling Haaland on the other side had also rushed over, and Bayern Munich's center back Mats Hummels and right back Joshua Kimmich also rushed towards the two. For a while, the front of Bayern Munich's penalty area was in a state of panic.

"Bayern Munich's defense is too difficult at this time. Romelu Lukaku and Erling Haaland are both tall and powerful forwards, who have firmly restrained Mats Hummels and Joshua Kimmich. Now we can only pray that Jerome Boateng can defend Edinson Cavani alone. Once Jerome Boateng is broken through, Edinson Cavani will face Manuel Neuer directly." Owen Hargreaves said with a worried look.

As soon as he finished speaking, Edinson Cavani made a Marseille turn, broke through Jerome Boateng's defense, and entered the penalty area; Jerome Boateng, who had reacted, wanted to reach out and grab Edinson Cavani, but considering that he was in the penalty area and was worried about getting a red card package, it was this hesitation that Edinson Cavani had already left a body position and it was too late to pull him; Mats Hummels, who was not far away, was shocked and decisively gave up Romelu Lukaku, who was defending before, and rushed towards Edinson Cavani with great momentum.

Edinson Cavani made a fake move to break through Mats Hummels, shook out an excellent passing line, and then made a precise cross, and the ball accurately found Romelu Lukaku who was unguarded in the penalty area.

Romelu Lukaku made a beautiful chest stop and then firmly controlled the ball under his feet. At this moment, his mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes flashed with excitement and excitement, he quickly adjusted his pace, leaned forward slightly, and stepped back with his right foot to prepare to send the ball steadily into the goal.

However, fate played a cruel joke on him at this moment. At the moment when he raised his foot to shoot, whether it was due to excessive tension or an accident, his action had a fatal deviation. The football slipped slightly under his feet and deviated from the predetermined direction. The football that should have easily flown into the goal passed by the empty goal.

Romelu Lukaku's expression froze instantly, and his excitement and expectation were replaced by astonishment and annoyance. His eyes were wide open, full of disbelief, and he stood there blankly, as if his body was fixed and could not move at all.

The Manchester United fans at the scene sighed, but were soon completely drowned out by the thunderous cheers of Bayern Munich. Luo Lie, who was standing in the VIP seat, looked at Romelu Lukaku's performance and shook his head helplessly. Although Lukaku now doesn't have a "short hair and beer belly", he still can't score an empty goal.

Bayern Munich, who survived the disaster, seemed to have received a shot of chicken blood and launched another fierce attack.Attack.

The situation on the field became increasingly tense as the game progressed to the 29th minute. At this time, Arjen Robben received the ball on the right, and he performed his signature inside cut, quickly changed direction, and passed the defense of Marco Verratti, a Manchester United midfielder. Then, with his excellent explosive power and agility, he continued to advance to the front of the penalty area.

Manchester United left-back Theo Fernandez came to assist in defense at the first time. Arjen Robben, who had successfully broken through to the front of the penalty area, gently pulled back his right foot, leaned back slightly, and then suddenly exerted force, and his right foot slammed towards the football like lightning. The football was like a cannonball, whistling towards the goal, with a strong rotation and amazing speed.

The Bayern Munich fans at the scene held their breath involuntarily at the moment when Arjen Robben kicked the ball, and their eyes followed the trajectory of the football closely. Some spectators clenched their hands, nervously looking forward to the moment of scoring; some spectators opened their mouths wide, as if they couldn't believe what was about to happen. However, just when everyone thought the ball was about to go into the net, Manchester United defender Harry Maguire showed a tenacious defensive awareness. He reacted quickly and blocked the ball's flight path with his body. With a "bang", the ball was blocked by Harry Maguire out of the baseline.

The audience suddenly burst into sighs, and the sound was like waves, one after another. Arjen Robben looked at the blocked ball with a look of regret on his face.

Then, Bayern Munich got a corner kick opportunity.

Thomas Muller stood in the corner kick area, his eyes focused and determined. He bent down slightly and gently fiddled with the football under his feet with his hands, as if he was having a silent conversation with it. After a moment, he took a deep breath and kicked the ball out with force. The football seemed to be given life, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and flying accurately into the penalty area.

The ball accurately found Mats Hummels. Mats Hummels was ready. His eyes were fixed on the flying football, and his body was slightly squatted, like a cheetah about to pounce. When the ball approached, Mats Hummels burst out with great strength. He jumped high as if to touch the sky. His body stretched out in the air, and his head pushed forward, showing an unparalleled aerial advantage.

However, fate seemed to play a little joke at this moment. Although Mats Hummels' header was very threatening, the ball eventually went slightly above the crossbar. After Mats Hummels landed, he shook his head helplessly, with a regretful expression on his face.

Manchester United's goal kick was taken.

After receiving the pass from goalkeeper David De Gea on the left, Theo Fernandez quickly moved forward. Thomas Muller, who was closest to him, made up for the defense in the first time and tried to block his way with his body. Theo Fernandez was not in a hurry. He first made a fake move to the left, causing Thomas Muller's center of gravity to shift slightly, and then before Thomas Muller could react, he quickly flicked the ball to the right and passed by Thomas Muller at a very fast speed. Thomas Muller could only watch Theo Fernandez's back and turned around helplessly to chase.

After breaking through Thomas Muller, Theo Fernandez faced the defense of Bayern Munich midfielder Javi Martinez, who was tall and had a very deterrent defense.

But Theo Fernandez was not intimidated by Javi Martinez's momentum. He calmly observed the opponent's position. When Javi Martinez took a step forward to steal the ball, Theo Fernandez suddenly stopped and let the opponent miss. Then he started again, using his speed advantage to quickly break through from the side of Javi Martinez. When the opponent reacted, Theo Fernandez had already gone away like a whirlwind.

Then, Joshua Kimmich appeared in front of Theo Fernandez.

As Bayern Munich's starting right back, Joshua Kimmich has excellent defensive awareness. He kept a close eye on the ball under Theo Fernandez's feet to prevent him from breaking through from the front.

Theo Fernandez began to pedal, his legs swinging alternately like lightning, and the football bounced back and forth flexibly under his feet. But Joshua Kimmich remained unmoved. Suddenly, Theo Fernandez lightly tapped his right foot, pulled the ball behind him, and then quickly turned around and broke through from a direction that Joshua Kimmich did not expect, disrupting his defensive rhythm. Joshua Kimmich was shocked and turned around to chase, but he only saw Theo Fernandez's figure getting farther and farther away.In this way, Theo Fernandez broke through the defense of Thomas Muller, Javi Martinez, Joshua Kimmich and others, and then made a cross, and the ball accurately found Erling Haaland.

After Erling Haaland received the ball, he adjusted it slightly and then shot it. However, the ball was destroyed by Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng and went out of the baseline.

The game continued, and the players on both sides looked a little tired, but they still fought hard on the field.

In the 36th minute, Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka took the ball steadily near the center circle, and instantly burst out with amazing energy and quickly moved forward. . His legs were like powerful motors, and every step was full of power and rhythm.

He was very fast, like a flash of lightning across the green field. Rodrigo Hernandez tried to stop him from moving forward, but Leon Goretzka easily got rid of his entanglement with his excellent physical fitness and flexible change of direction. After breaking through to the front of the penalty area, Leon Goretzka did not hesitate and kicked the ball decisively. His right foot hit the ball hard, making a crisp sound. The ball flew towards the goal at a very fast speed.

However, Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea reacted quickly like an agile cheetah. He jumped up, stretched his body, and grabbed the flying ball with his hands like pliers.

David De Gea's heroic performance made the audience exclaim, and Leon Goretzka looked at the ball that was saved with a regretful expression on his face.
