Chapter 812, Resilience!
While Coulibaly received a red card, Real Madrid won a free kick in the frontcourt from a good position.
Captain Van Dijk looked back at De Gea, his eyes spoke.
This is an opportunity that Couliba bought at the cost of a red card. We must not lose the ball!
De Gea nodded and said nothing.
"C Ronaldo will take this free kick, will he propose the signature elevator ball?"
"C Ronaldo's run-up, shot! The elevator ball went straight to the dead corner!"
"De Gea threw the ball out! He made a great contribution! The angle of the ball is extremely tricky and there is no solution! But De Gea lived up to expectations and saved this 100% goal!"
"At this time, Kintag immediately made substitution adjustments. He replaced center Lewandowski and replaced central defender Maguire. It seems that Kintag is ready to defend today's score."
"It's no wonder that at the Bernabéu, and there is still one less player, even the seven-time champion Manchester United is at a disadvantage. Now let the team resume the defensive counterattack posture, try to keep the 0-0 score, and wait until they return to the home court for a showdown win or lose."
Jin Taige really thinks so, now that Real Madrid's offense is too fierce, he can only reluctantly part with one striker and replace it with a defender to ensure the team's defensive balance.
Not only that, but then Jin Taige made another substitution adjustment. He replaced Kroos, replaced Nainggolan, let him and Kanter form a double midfielder, and then Salah pulled back from the winger position, separated from De Bruyne on both sides of the midfield, ensuring that the midfield Balance and help the full backs defend.
In this way, Manchester United's formation has become a familiar 4-4-2 formation, but only Griezmann is left on the front line.
After Manchester United was sent off, Real Madrid saw a chance to score. Zidane also made tactical adjustments, replacing Varane and replacing Isco, and the team became a 3-4-3 formation. In recent times, Manchester United has been greatly tested.
Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema launched consecutive attacks, bombarding Manchester United's goal indiscriminately.
However, after Kintag made substitution adjustments, Manchester United's defense quickly stabilized.
Maguire's appearance has kept Manchester United's back line still solid.
As a rotation player for Van Dijk and Koulibaly this season, Maguire has shown good strength, especially in the Premier League. With his tall, strong body and stable performance, he has become a Premier League striker nightmare. And he also relied on his excellent performance to attract the attention of the England national team.
In the final period, Van Dijk took on the task of defending Ronaldo, while Maguire's job was to protect the penalty area. The two tall central defenders cooperated well and helped Manchester United stabilize the situation.
With Nainggolan's defensive support in the midfield, Kanter's pressure is also much less.
Now the game has reached the 87th minute, two minutes of stoppage time.
"Now with stoppage time, the game is less than five minutes. Manchester United players are still trying to stick to the defense."
"C Ronaldo entangled with Kanter outside the penalty area! Nainggolan came up, two people defending Ronaldo!"
"C Ronaldo protected the ball sideways and passed the ball to Benzema in the penalty area!"
"Benzema took off! Maguire hit the ball first! He pushed the ball out of the penalty area vigorously!"
"Alonso got the ball! He passed it to Salah!"
"Salah rushed to Real Madrid's half with the ball! Now Real Madrid is behind the air defense! Only Ramos and Marcelo are left! On Manchester United's side, apart from Salah, only Griezmann is still there. Keeping up with his footsteps, he is advancing quickly!"
"Salah faced the oncoming Marcelo! He didn't choose to break through, he cut inside! Griezmann ran back and took Ramos away!"
"Salah shoots! Goal in!!!"
"As the game was about to enter the stoppage time period, Manchester United tenaciously scored a goal! In an unfavorable situation, Manchester United showed extremely strong resilience!"
"1 to 0! Manchester United took the lead at 10 against 11!"
When Salah hits the net,
Zidane on the sidelines shook his hands angrily, as if he wanted to shake off all the bad luck.
In such a good situation, how could the ball be lost!
Zidane stood on the sidelines. He wanted to yell at his players, but he opened his mouth, but he still didn't make a sound. He stood on the sidelines against the boos all over the sky, motionless.
If the boos at the beginning were for Manchester United players, then the boos at the Bernabeu were for Real Madrid.
The proud Real Madrid fans never imagined that their team was led 1-0 by their opponents in a situation where they played one more player. This is simply too shameful!
The Real Madrid players were also a little dazed. They had rarely heard boos from the stands before, but this season there were boos everywhere...
The hope of winning the championship was lost in the league, the domestic cup was eliminated, and the Champions League was in trouble again...
Real Madrid players are a little lost, what happened to us recently?
The Real Madrid players were in a daze, but the Manchester United players were very sober. Jin Taige encouraged the players loudly on the sidelines: "The game is about to end! Hold on! Leave the Bernabeu with victory!"
Encouraged by Kintag, defensive players such as Van Dijk, Kanter, and Nainggolan showed their final abilities. They faced Real Madrid's most offensive and prevented their opponents from scoring.
Real Madrid players became more impatient in their final offensive opportunity. After Bell's long-range shot went flying, the game was over!
"Real Madrid's performance in this game was really terrible... No, maybe my statement is a bit inaccurate. Real Madrid's performance today is still remarkable. It should be said that Manchester United's performance is really wonderful! Although they were fined One player was played, but he tenaciously withstood Real Madrid's attack, and also seized the opportunity in the counterattack and scored an away goal!"
"Such a tough Manchester United team is really too strong. They can beat Real Madrid in an away game with one less player; they can comeback against Paris in an unfavorable situation of 0 to 2 or 0 to 3. What else? Can it stop Manchester United's progress?"
"I always have a feeling now that this Manchester United team is more mature, calmer and more champion-like! Maybe their dream of defending the Champions League is not far away!"
At the end of the whole game, the Manchester United players on the field were a little bit exhausted. Although they were very excited, they were very exhausted because they lost one player, and the players felt very tired.
Despite this, Kintag still led the players to the sidelines to express his gratitude to the Manchester United fans who came with the team for the away game.
The Manchester United fans in the stands gave a standing ovation to pay tribute to their heroes!
