Chapter 865 The Big Man Who Works Hard!

During the intermission just now, Guardiola reminded the Manchester City players to pay attention to Van Dijk and Maguire. There will definitely be defensive loopholes between the two of them. After all, they don’t have much time to cooperate together. .

And when Jesus became more and more active, Van Dijk's defensive pressure was also increasing, and Maguire approached Van Dijk unconsciously.

This fleeting opportunity was seized by Aguero just right!
"Silva's easy dribbling in the frontcourt, passing Kroos! Kante defends the angle! Pogba stepped forward to respond!"

"Pogba passed the ball to the ribs of the penalty area! Aguero inserted at high speed, and he used his speed to tear through Manchester United's defense! He penetrated this point of Maguire's defense!"

"De Gea strikes! Aguero volleys! Goal!"

"In the 73rd minute of the game, Manchester City finally broke the deadlock! This ball is a tacit connection between Pogba and Aguero! The two of them have often played this tacit cooperation this season!"

"Just now Van Dijk was completely involved by Jesus, and in the gap between him and Maguire, Aguero got in at once! Speed ​​is not Maguire's strong point, he is against Argentina. There is nothing anyone can do! If the defender of Aguero is replaced by Coulibaly, maybe this problem will not arise!"

"1 to 1! Manchester United equalized the score!"

The Manchester City players equalized the score, and their depressed mood was finally relieved!Aguero celebrated wildly on the sidelines!And Pogba stood still and waved his fists, as if he was demonstrating against Old Trafford!
The away fans in the stands were even more overwhelmed with excitement. They cheered vigorously, venting their impatience!
When Kintag on the sidelines saw the goal lost, he shook his head. At this time, he didn't mean to blame anyone.He knows that this ball is not the responsibility of Maguire alone, but a problem of Manchester United's overall defense.Just now when Aguero cut inside, the right back Kimmich did not retreat to the penalty area in time, and Van Dijk was also tightly tied by Jesus and had no chance to return to the defense. Coupled with Maguire's position selection problem, there was still It was Aguero's precise shot that finally caused the goal.

What he is most worried about now is not the score being equalized, but the mentality of the Manchester United players.

Will this group of lads have their mentality affected by this conceded goal?
At this time, on the pitch, Manchester City players were celebrating crazily, but several defensive players of Manchester United met temporarily in the backcourt to discuss the goal just now.

Maguire was very guilty. He felt that the conceded goal was his own responsibility. He just wanted to apologize, but Captain Van Dijk said: "Guys, I didn't return to the defense in time just now, which caused the conceded goal. , I apologize to everyone."

And Kimmich said again and again: "I am also responsible for the conceded goal. I did not come back in time after I assisted, which eventually led to this result."

And Cross also reflected on himself: "The next time I encounter this situation, I will retreat as much as possible to help you reduce the defensive pressure!"

Hearing what everyone said, Maguire also hurriedly said: "The ball just now is mainly to blame for me..."

Before he finished speaking, Van Dijk interrupted him: "Aguero's forward speed was too fast for that ball. We are all responsible and we can't blame you. We will keep a proper distance between the two of us for a while. Don't worry." Well, I can defend Jesus, a kid who has just landed in the European arena, what else can he make waves! Maguire, you communicate with De Gea more in the penalty area and protect the last line of defense in front of the goal! "

"Okay!" Maguire nodded vigorously.

After the re-kick-off, Manchester United's players were attacking with all their strength in the frontcourt, and Maguire was engrossed in the penalty area to stare at the situation in the frontcourt.Since joining Manchester United, he has never been as nervous as he is today.

Maguire has a relatively introverted personality. Although he is the strongest big guy in the team and is also very fierce on the court, in life, he is a very easy-going person. He usually has no entertainment, except going out to watch movies. watching TV at home.

And this season in the Premier League, Kintag gave him a lot of opportunities.He and Bailey often play together and have a good performance.This time in the Champions League final, he himself did not expect to get the chance to appear on the field.But he didn't expect that because he didn't cooperate with Van Dijk enough, it led to the team's first goal conceded.

When his teammates took responsibility for each other, although Maguire didn't say anything, he knew in his heart that his teammates were helping him reduce the pressure in his heart.

At this moment, Maguire is secretly competing: If I cause another goal from me, I am not worthy of the trust of the head coach and teammates, and I am not worthy of wearing the Manchester United uniform!
Manchester City's attack continues.

Although the goals and assists just now were Aguero and Pogba, but the role of Jesus is also undoubtedly displayed.His traction to Manchester United's defense was the premise of the goal just now.

In the next few minutes, Jesus did the same and created a good chance to score.

"Jesus received the ball with his back in the frontcourt. He wanted to turn around and shoot or rush in, but he couldn't turn around under Van Dijk's marking!"

"He made a decisive pass back to Pogba, and Pogba passed the ball straight to the right without stopping! Sterling plugged in at high speed! He stopped the ball very comfortably!"

"Maguire appeared in front of him in time! The two collided! Maguire barely moved, and Sterling was knocked out!"

"The Manchester City players signaled that it was a penalty kick! The referee didn't say anything, it was a good goal!"

"After suffering a loss from Aguero just now, Maguire successfully defended very decisively this time, so that Sterling did not get a chance to attack!"

Maguire cleared the ball out of the penalty area and Manchester United's offense went up.Seeing that there was no danger, Maguire helped his national team teammates up.

Sterling was very depressed: "Big man, what did you eat to grow up, why are you so strong? Also, you should go to a rugby game, why did you come to participate in the Champions League?"

Hearing Sterling's words, Maguire smiled slightly and said nothing.

Seeing Maguire's wonderful defense, Jin Taige on the sidelines was completely relieved.

Being able to quickly adjust his state after making a mistake, without letting himself fall on the same rock a second time, this young man has an unlimited future!

Manchester United completed a wonderful defense, and after Maguire kicked off, Manchester United's attack quickly went up.This time Manchester United won a three-on-three situation in the frontcourt, which is an excellent opportunity to score!
