Chapter 78 Thank you, Shaq!

After scoring the goal, Shaq laughed and ran in the Berlin Olympic Stadium, running all the way back to his coaching seat, and directly picked up Simon Grayson and shouted: "Happy birthday, boss!"

Well!

Simon Grayson was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that May 30th...is his birthday!

When the Manchester United players who followed up heard Shaq's shouting, they remembered that the media had said before that this year's Champions League finals were Simon Grayson's birthday. Last year's Champions League final was held in advance due to the World Cup relationship, and the "Youth Guards" did not give "brutal Simon".

"Hahaha, boss, today is your birthday, we will definitely give you a big gift!"

"Boss, don't worry, no one can disturb your birthday today!"

"Boss, we will definitely win this game today!"

Simon Grayson looked at the players around him and laughed loudly, shouting: "Okay! I'm waiting to receive your birthday gift! Now I'll give me back to the court to play. The advantage of a goal leading is never safe. We have to continue scoring! Use goals to ensure our victory!"

"roar----"

Manchester United stars turned around and returned to the stadium. At this time, even Simon Grayson didn't believe that their team could quickly lock in the victory. In today's game, Manchester City was in a very good state, but they were not ideal in handling several key balls, otherwise Manchester United might be behind now.

But just six minutes away from Shaq's first goal. When the game was 36 minutes old, Van der Weill made a cross from the right. The ball was blocked by Manchester City's left-back Krish, and then changed the route and fell into the small penalty area on the left side of Manchester City!

Seeing that the ball was about to go out of bounds, Shaq rushed up from behind, swung his left foot and kicked the ball horizontally towards the goal with a "boom" sound!

Joe Hart's position is already very good. He is only less than half a meter away from his left post. In this case, it is unlikely that Shaq will score again. But... Shaq's explosive ray is almost on the ground. After Joe Hart's left leg blocked the ball, the ball bounced into the goal!

"Ah! The ball scored! Shaq's second goal! Beautiful! Zero angle... Uh, it should be considered zero angle, right?"

In the stadium, Shaq was already thrown to the ground by his teammates in front of the billboard behind Manchester City's goal, and his strong bodies were pressed up one by one!

It's 2:0!

Manchester United's stars really feel that they are getting closer and closer to the St. Beller, and they don't dare to relax at all when they lead with one goal. They are afraid that the opportunity in front of them will be missed, but now they are leading by two goals... Haha, we have to celebrate it well!?

Pellegrini was stunned for this skill. Seeing the Manchester United fans busy hanging out a huge cloth painting with the number "125" printed on it, the Chilean engineer felt bitter.

Before the game, Pellegrini already attached great importance to Shaq. He also specially formulated a set of tactics to defend Shaq, including Kompany and Red, as well as Brazilian midfielder Sandro. This time, Manchester City planned to take advantage of the number of players and Red's familiarity with Shaq to achieve the goal of defending Shaq.

But now it seems... Shaq is a pervert that people can really not defend against!

Under heavy defense, Shaq still scored twice in 36 minutes, and Pellegrini no longer knew what to say.

Since Pellegrini coached Manchester City, the team's combat effectiveness has been improving. In the team's original improvement lineup, Manchester City has invested a net investment of 70 million pounds in the transfer market in the past two seasons, further improving the team's overall strength. Although he lost to Manchester United led by Simon Grayson in the domestic league competition this season, Pellegrini still feels that he has created history for Manchester City to win the Champions League trophy.

When Manchester City was adjusted to its best condition by Pellegrini before the game, the Chilean even began to conceive what he should say after the team won the championship, but he didn't expect... this game would become like this!

Manchester City's tactics finally changed after conceding two goals in a row. Pellegrini asked his team to stabilize their position first, at least they must not concede the ball in the first half. They scored two goals in 45 minutes of the half-time game. Pellegrini believes that Manchester City is still capable of doing it. Even if they face Manchester United, if Manchester City must score three goals in 45 minutes, the Chileans will feel that this is a bit difficult.

The score of 2:0 did not change any more in the remaining ten minutes. Manchester United's several passes sent to the opponent's penalty area were blocked by Manchester City's defense similar to "Iron Barrel Formation".

During the break, Simon Grayson didn't say much, and told his players directly: "Now we are two goals ahead, so Manchester City will definitely attack desperately in the second half. We will play defensive counterattack instead, and score again if we have the opportunity. When the time comes, we will pick up the St. Berede Cup. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Simon Grayson nodded and waved: "Okay, everyone, let's have a rest!"

The decisive and confident coach showed that the Manchester United players were also infected. They were used to Simon Grayson's style. Now it seems... this Champions League final is no different from usual, and it is still based on the rhythm of the usual Manchester United game, scoring a goal... and then winning!

The difference is probably that after the game, they will just hold the St. Berede Cup at the award ceremony!

For teams that are used to victory, no matter how much they lead on the court, they will not be too excited, and it will not affect their stable performance. Stable and high-level performance is the guarantee for the team to win.

Pellegrini really has no other choice. In a match like the Champions League final, because of the rules of life and death in a game, they now have no other way besides attacking. Even though they know that their every move will fall into the opponent's concentration, Manchester City still invested more strength in the offensive at the beginning of the second half.

Of course, since the Chilean knows that the opponent will definitely calculate that he will attack wildly, and it is impossible for him to have no arrangements in defense. He arranged foul tactics for his players. Once Manchester United's offense is threatening, he will use fouls to stop the opponent. It doesn't matter if he gets the cards for this.

When Manchester City attacked fiercely, the "Red Devils" also used defensive counterattacks. Shaq's withdrawal made Manchester United's defense imperfect, leaving Manchester City with little space. On the contrary, Manchester United's counterattacks were very threatening. In the "Blue Moon"'s fouls again and again, the referee Paul Tariavento from Italy also repeatedly took out yellow cards to warn Manchester City.

Pellegrini's response is to "wash" the yellow cards on his players by substitutions, and continue to use foul tactics to protect his goal. But this approach...the effect is really not very good!

Manchester City's offense could not be increased. After a long time, this fast-paced attack could not help but slow down...

In the 68th minute, Manchester United launched a counterattack on the right. Nani dribbled the ball all the way to the frontcourt and quickly passed the ball to Shaq's feet in front!

At this time, Shaq leaned against Kompani with his back to the goal, and Red was running up from his right to assist in defense. In addition, Brazil's midfielder Sandro was actively retreating, Shaq was completely in a dilemma of being surrounded by enemies.

But Shaq didn't have any fear!

After any player scored 125 goals in various ways in a season, his self-confidence will reach an unprecedented level. What's more, Shaq, who has a "black feet" and knows his body very well!?

"Bang!"

Shaq leaned against Kompani and thrust the ball to the right with his left foot. At the same time, he forced Kompani away with the ball. After two steps horizontally, Shaq entered the top of the arc of the penalty area!

This is... it is the "Shak's Forbidden Zone"!

"Bang!"

After dribbing the ball here, Shaq was about to face the clamping of Red and Kompani. Behind him was Sandro catching up, but Shaq suddenly stopped suddenly, and after clicking the ball with his right foot, he shook Kompani for a while. The moment the Belgian moved the center of gravity back, Shaq's left foot had already raked on the ball with a "bang"!

"Swoosh!"

The ball flew out from Shaq's feet and instantly turned into a lightning bolt, crossing the eighteen meters distance between him and Manchester City's goal... When!

A crisp sound!

The ball hit the bottom of the Manchester City lintel on the left, and after rebounding, it directly hit the goal line and handed it on...

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Standing there, Shaq waved his fists and roared, then turned around and ran to the bench of Manchester United. Shaq pointed at Simon Grayson from afar...

Boss, this hat trick is my birthday gift for you!

"Hat trick! Shaq completed the hat trick! Hat trick in the Champions League final! This is also the 33th goal scored by Shaq in this season's Champions League! 13 games, 33 goals! Average 2.53 goals per game! Unparalleled efficiency! Super killer who makes the world tremble! This is Shaq!"

"Marteau United will definitely win. The advantage of three goals is not their biggest reliance. Their greatest confidence comes from Shaq who can do everything on the court! This is Shaq's 64th game for Manchester United this season and the last game of the season. His current number of goals is as high as 126! ​​This is an unprecedented record. I think no one will be able to do it in the future. It's really... Alas, I think Shaq is really a king-of-the-ball player now!"

Off the court, Simon Grayson ran out with his fists as Shaq scored. The advantage of three goals was enough to make Manchester United win. In addition, Shaq's condition is completely fine today, and the St. Berede Cup is really going to fall into Manchester United's hands this time.
Chapter completed!
