Football irons are burning

Chapter 399 The Miracle of Istanbul [3]

Kaka's defensive ability is indeed better than nothing, and Ancelotti's intentions are also very obvious.

There are still 20 minutes, just strengthen the defense and run out of time.

He never thought that this cooked duck could still fly!

After Kaka went down, Manchester City lacked a player who could hold the ball in the frontcourt. The ball was passed and was quickly intercepted by Manchester United.

The scene was quickly controlled by Manchester United.

In the 72nd minute, Li Tie made a straight pass in the middle. Hulk turned around and entered the penalty area. He volleyed vigorously.

Three minutes later, Li Tie made a breakthrough in the middle, Ballack touched his feet, and the ball rolled to Hulk's feet.

With this change, there are more fights.

Facing Wright-Phillips' quick pursuit, Giggs threw off Wright-Phillips with a smash, and then made a cross.

Cristiano Ronaldo threw off Neil's marking, jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal. After the ball bounced off the ground, he ran towards the goal.

Hildebrand subconsciously reached out to hit the ball, and he hit the ball off the crossbar again.

This guy is completely bigger than Li Tie's hook today.

The ball was saved by him. In order to increase the confidence of the goal, Ronaldo deliberately bounced the ball. Unexpectedly, he still threw it out.

Li Tie applauded vigorously and ran to take the corner kick.

I can't let go of my anger, everyone's momentum is up now, and they may have a chance to score a goal.

Manchester United's defensive players also ran up to compete for the corner kick.

After the whistle sounded, Li Tie also directly hoisted the ball into the penalty area, and Pepe leaped high from the middle, colliding with the opponent's tall central defender Neil!
Both of them fell to the ground and screamed, and after the ball landed, it happened to land in front of Ronaldo. He shot with a burst, and the ball finally passed Cech's ten fingers. 1:3, Manchester United scored a point!
There was no time to celebrate, C Roma immediately went to the goal to hold the ball, and then ran to the midfield.

However, Pepe didn't get up for a long time, and Manchester United players hurried over to watch his situation.

Seeing this, everyone was terrified, this guy's face was covered in blood.

The Manchester United team doctor rushed in and quickly stopped the bleeding.

The corners of the brows are open, blood is flowing profusely, and I can't hold it down!
This has to be stitched.

Pepe is also a tough guy, so he asked the Manchester United team doctor to give him stitches.

The referee Weber also came over and signaled to carry Pepe out for treatment. It is impossible to get stitches on the court.
Li Tie hugged Pepe and said, "Brother, you are doing well. If you can persist, you will persevere. If you can't, then go on and take care of your injuries. We will continue to work hard."

Pepe grinned and said, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely come back."

Pepe went down, Neil was still on the court, and his head was buzzing.

The ball was actually fouled by him. Pepe hit the ball first, and he directly hit Pepe's forehead. However, his bones are probably not as hard as Pepe's, and he is also open.

Neil was also carried down to heal his injuries, and the game resumed quickly.

Both sides are temporarily fighting with 10 people.

After the re-kick-off, Manchester City controlled the ball and passed it back and forth, while Li Tie led Ronaldo, Hulk, Rooney and Giggs to press.

Now time is running out, and we must press with all our strength.

The ball was quickly passed to Dunn's feet. Faced with Rooney's pressure, Dunn was a little panicked and kicked out. As a result, the ball hit Rooney's face. Although Rooney felt his face was hot, he still took the ball and hit it directly to Li Tie who was inserted in the back row.

Li Tie made a Marseille roundabout, and this time Barak was passed by him. The speed of the turn, Barack was not as good as Li Tie.

Lampard was on the other side. When he rushed to defend, he collided with Ballack.

This was a good opportunity. Li Tie shook them off with a few steps, and volleyed vigorously from outside the penalty area. The ball entered the penalty area and hit Dunn's feet again. With a refraction, it rolled into Hildebrand's other side, 2:3!

Manchester United pulled one back!
The rhythm of this goal is still relatively fast, and now the suspense is back.

In the stands, the Manchester United fans finally started to cheer, and they all stood up, they couldn't sit still.

Li Tie also began to raise his hands, interacting with the audience, asking them to cheer for the team.

Manchester United fans immediately roared crazily.

Manchester City fans saw it, not to be outdone, and quickly cheered for Manchester City, hoping that they could survive the last 10 minutes.

But at this time, Rooney also went down to heal his injuries. Dunn's kick just now happened to be stuffy on the bridge of his nose, and now he was bleeding profusely.

But at this time, Pepe ran up again, with more than a dozen stitches on her brow bone, and a thick bandage wrapped around her.

It looks like it came off the battlefield.

Li Tie also came over, hugged him, and expressed his respect for Pepe's perseverance.

But on Manchester City's side, Neil didn't come up.

Ancelotti made another substitution, replacing Neil with Mani.

Obviously, he meant a bit of self-correction. Substituting Kaka earlier caused Manchester City to be passive, adding a midfielder, which means to regain possession of the ball.

Maniche's ability is also good, if not for the arrival of Ballack, he has always been the main player of Manchester City.

Instead of making contributions, Dunn, who was replaced, helped Manchester United score.

If it weren't for his kick in the middle, Hildebrand might have saved the ball.

Ancelotti's substitution was indeed a bit of a mess.

The game continued, and after the re-kick-off, Manchester City relied on the strong control of the three midfielders to stabilize the stitches again.

Maniche has plenty of energy, fights fiercely, and plays the ball quickly. It is indeed a good move for him to come up.

However, perhaps because of the lack of battle for a long time, in the 85th minute, Maniche was slightly less powerful when he returned the pass.

As a result, Hulk, who was robbed, took the ball and rushed into the penalty area.

In a panic, Dunn kicked Hulk to the ground. The ball passed anyway, and no one could pass.

The scene froze in an instant!

Right now, everyone is staring at Weber to see if he will award a penalty!
Weber hesitated, but he blew his whistle and pointed to twelve yards!
In the Premier League, he probably wouldn't blow it, but in the Champions League final, especially now that Manchester United is 2:3 behind, he still blows it!

The Manchester United fans cheered immediately, and the Manchester United players also hugged excitedly.

Hulk, who created the penalty kick, waved his fist excitedly, looking very proud.

Manchester City players surrounded Weber, hoping that he would take back his life.

The captain, Lampard, was even more excited. He almost drowned Weber in his saliva. He also moved his hands, tugged at Weber's clothes, and spoke very excitedly.

Weber backed away while reaching for his trouser pocket.

On the sidelines, Ancelotti hurriedly yelled to tell Lampard to back off. He was worried that Lampard would get a red card.

In fact, even if the score is equalized, Ancelotti is still confident. Even in a penalty shootout, with Cech's ability, he is completely more confident than the opponent's Howard.

But if Lampard goes down, there will be one less player in this game, and it will not be easy to persist until the end, not to mention, it is likely to play overtime.

So, Ancelotti yelled in a hurry, trying to stop Lampard's reckless behavior.

But it was too late, Webber took out the red card and aimed at Lampard.

Manchester City captain sent off!

Lampard wanted to say something else, but Webber stood far away, pointing his finger to the outside of the field, asking Lampard to leave the field.

Lampard dragged the jersey off, walked out shaking his head, and tossed it to the City fans in the stands.

On the pitch, Hulk was still muttering something to Li Tie.

It turned out that the kid wanted to take the penalty kick himself.

"Boss, let me try, I can definitely get in!"

Hulk said with a sullen face.

Li Tie laughed and said, "Okay, since you have such a big heart, I'll let you try it."

Li Tie still admires Hulk's penalty kick level. He is a player who works hard to make miracles. Moreover, the angle has always been very tricky, and the quality of his shots is good.

Moreover, Li Tie is about to leave Manchester United, so he also intends to delegate power.

Hulk said excitedly: "Boss, thank you, I will fulfill my mission!"

After speaking, he ran to twelve yards, picked up the ball and kissed it, then put it away, stepped back, and looked at Hildebrand.

When the whistle sounded, Hulk rushed up suddenly, and when he was about to take the ball, there was a sudden pause, and Hildebrand rushed to his left!

Hulk touched the ball with a flexible ankle, and the ball rolled to the other side of Hildebrand's body!
Hildebrand closed his eyes, feeling helpless.

Although he is very good, it is not a goalkeeper's specialty to save penalty kicks.

However, at this moment, Hildebrand hurriedly turned over and got up after hearing a 'bang'!
