10 minute passed in the blink of an eye.

This game has reached the final stage.

Relying on the excellent performance in the first half, Manchester United still led Newcastle [-]-[-] at home despite being recovered a goal. For this result, whether it is Arsenal who won this round of the league, Chelsea or Manchester United who lost, they are very happy to see.

If Newcastle loses this game, the possibility of them catching up will increase a lot. The most important thing is that Newcastle has not lost for a long time. If they lose this time, they may not win a few games in a row. This is a good opportunity for them to reduce the points gap with Newcastle and even overtake Newcastle.

Especially in a league like the Premier League where there are four or five teams capable of competing for the championship, maybe you have won consecutive battles for a period of time and have been unbeaten in more than ten rounds, thinking that you have left all your opponents far away, but if you lose one or two games or even draw one or two games, you will find that some opponents have already surpassed you.

Both Wenger and Ancelotti hope to see this scene. As the frontrunner, the pressure on Newcastle is actually very high.

So for Mourinho, this game is not a game that can be lost!Even a draw is much better than a loss.

What he cares about is not the one or two points, but the chain reaction after the loss, which is much more important than the three points.

During this period of time, Newcastle's offense was far less threatening than when the second half started. Maybe the fans haven't noticed it yet, but both Mourinho and Queiroz can see it.The biggest reason is that Long Bisheng is closely watched by Evans, and even the chance to touch the ball has become rare. Without him as a turning point, Newcastle's offense has become much more chaotic-unknowingly, Long Bisheng has become so important to Newcastle's offense!

If this situation continues until the end, Wenger and Ancelotti can certainly see why. This will be a big blow to Mourinho's plan to make Long Bisheng the core of the attack, and may even lead to the abort of the plan.

In fact, Mourinho replaced Bostock, not only to add an assaulter, but also to convey an order-try to bypass Long Bisheng when attacking.

However, judging from the current situation on the field, this instruction did not have a very good effect. Although Evans followed Long Bisheng, Manchester United's defense did not become weaker. Pogba's retreat gave Vidic another helper, and after leaving Long Bisheng, Newcastle's offensive line was relatively short. Ribery and Messi were not good at headers.

Thinking of this, Mourinho stood up and made a gesture to Long Bisheng.

Newcastle changed their tactics and played more from the wings. Long Bisheng competed for the first spot in the penalty area. Messi and Ribery were in charge of the second spot beside him. Gerrard moved forward and was ready to bombard the goal at the front of the penalty area at any time.

As a result, the pressure on Manchester United's defense suddenly increased a lot.

Newcastle is pressing very high now, the two full-backs have pressed halfway to break through on the side, and Manchester United can only rely on the full-back to defend them, because Long Bisheng’s threat in the penalty area is much greater than outside the penalty area.

In this way, Manchester United was completely suppressed by Newcastle. With the midfield completely lost, they could only launch a counterattack through long passes. The success rate of doing so was low. Newcastle's two tall central defenders could completely form a barrier in the midfield.

After entering the penalty area, Long Bisheng helped Newcastle's offense a lot. His teammates only needed to hang the ball over his head. Long Bisheng was also very smart not to get too close to the small penalty area, avoiding Akinfeev's control range. At this distance, his header ferry threat was greater than his shot.

The condescending advantage allows him to easily head the ball to the weak defense of Manchester United. Messi and Ribery are running in the penalty area and it is difficult to defend. Once they come and go, Manchester United's defense is slowly disrupted. Almost everyone lost their position.

No.801 minutes, Long Bisheng received Maicon's cross and ferryed. Ribery stepped in and shot from a small angle, and the ball hit the side net.

No.803 minutes, Messi pulled to the wing and made a pass. This time, Long Bisheng directly ferried the ball out of the penalty area. Gerrard sprinted away from Fletcher's defense and shot the ball non-stop.

This time it was Queiroz's turn to sit still, and the smile on his face had disappeared, because he found that Manchester United was now completely suppressed by Newcastle.

There are at most seven or eight minutes before the end of the game, but this short period of time seems so long to Queiroz.

Just when he was desperately trying to reverse the situation on the field, Newcastle scored!
Bell made a beautiful cross from the wing. When he passed the ball, Messi threw away Rafael through a series of runs. Akinfeev shouted: "Pay attention to filling!"

Vidic immediately rushed towards Messi, and he was confident that he could control the second point before Long Bisheng ferryed.

But after a series of ferries, Long Bisheng was ready to complete the attack by himself this time!

He jumped a full head higher than Evans, so when he was in the air, he still had time to observe the situation around him. He saw that although Messi ran out of the gap, Vidic had already run in that direction under the reminder of Akinfeev.

But it is precisely because of this that Evans is the only one staring at him. For this kind of high ball, Evans is not his opponent at all, and Akinfeev focuses most of his attention on Messi. Although he is a bit far away from the goal, it is not that there is no chance...

This thought flashed through Long Bisheng's mind, and it was only a matter of a moment. He happened to have reached the highest point, and the ball flew over.
When his forehead just touched the ball, Evans, who was entangled with him, had already sensed his intentions. The bodies of the two were close together, and Evans could naturally feel it when Long Bisheng exerted force—the ferry did not need to use too much force. His purpose of exerting such force was only one, that is...

"Be careful when he shoots..."

Evans only shouted half a sentence, and Long Bisheng had already kicked the ball hard!

This is a header from the back point outside the small penalty area. Akinfeev blocked the front point, and he was ready to attack at any time to intercept Long Bisheng's ferry, but Long Bisheng headed the ball to the back point!

When Akinfeev discovered Long Bisheng's true intention, it was too late.

When Evans' shout came, Akinfeev had kicked his feet and jumped backwards. When he was in the air, he stretched out his hand hard, trying to lift the ball off the crossbar.

But he failed to reach the ball, even though he stretched his hand as far as possible, the ball flew past him.

Akinfeev, who was in the air, looked back at the ball, and then he watched helplessly as the ball flew over his head and then fell, and then hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal...

From the time when Bell made a cross, no one in Old Trafford was sitting. Everyone stood up and looked at the ball without blinking.

When the ball finally flew into the goal, there was a huge sigh in the stadium, and in the stands occupied by Newcastle fans, everyone started waving their arms wildly and cheering in unison!
After landing, Long Bisheng confirmed that the ball had entered the goal. He lifted his jersey over his head and put it down abruptly—he was afraid that the referee would give him a yellow card—then he rushed to the stands where the Newcastle fans were, waving his arms and shouting.

"Tarzan! Tarzan! Tarzan!"

At this moment in Old Trafford, only the cheers of thousands of Newcastle fans can be heard!

Queiroz thumped the ground hard - the two-goal lead was equalized, and now the pressure on him will increase geometrically!
Mourinho rushed out from the coaching bench, and then gave Pei Wei a big hug next to him!

After the hug was over, he patted Long Bisheng's buttocks that ran past him in celebration: "Boy, well done!"

Long Bisheng grinned at him and ran onto the field.

In such a difficult situation, goals are goals...Mourinho is firm in his determination to make Long Bisheng the core of Newcastle's offense, because he has seen all the qualities that can be the core in Long Bisheng!
"I think I should change my previous evaluation of him!" After sitting back on the coaching bench, Mourinho suddenly said to Pei Wei: "Although he is big, he is not easy to get injured. At the age of 24, he has the ability to play the main force in our team. He will not become the next Luca Toni, because his achievements will be more brilliant than Toni."

Perhaps only Pei Wei knew the meaning of Mourinho's words, and he laughed happily.

Being able to make Mourinho change his original judgment proves how hard Long Bisheng has worked in the past few years!
