Chapter 113 The regret of 200 goals? (3.14 Guarantee 2)
Chapter 113: The regret of 200 goals?
The goal Shaq dedicated to his child is just the beginning...
In 45+2 minutes, Manchester United got the opportunity to counterattack. Shaq shook away Colesham on the left side and drove away 50 meters all the way to Juventus' left penalty area. He pushed the ball to the right side with his right foot, shook Viviano, and suddenly stabbed the ball into the lower left corner of Juventus' goal... 2:1!
With the arrival of Shaq's goal, Manchester United's supporters at Old Trafford Stadium finally put their hearts down. Although the total score between the two sides was still tied 4:4, Manchester United has already gained an advantage with more away goals. If this score is maintained until the end of the game, Manchester United will eliminate Juventus.
"The total score between the two sides is 4:4 now, but we can eliminate our opponents by taking advantage of the advantage of having more away goals, but I believe we will score in the game, which will be a fact that no one can change! We have adapted to the rhythm of Juventus, and now we can win the game as long as we persist like this."
During the halftime break, Conte was quite serious in the visiting team's locker room, and he was actively preparing for the second half. But even he knew very well that the victory was getting further and further away from Juventus. When Manchester United gained an advantage, the fate of the "old woman" was already destined.
In the 67th minute of the second half, Shaq made a diagonal pass to Nani on the right in the frontcourt in the middle. The Portuguese winger pushed the ball in front of the small penalty area on the right and scored...3:1!
After the total score became 4:4, the "old woman" really felt how powerful Manchester United they faced was. The kind of game was always controlled by the opponent, and she could only watch the clock pass by helplessly. It really made people helplessly and sad. Nani's goal was just a microcosm of the game.
In the 88th minute, Nani made a cross from the right, and the ball fell into the small penalty area on the left side of Juventus. The king of the left side Bale, who followed up, pushed the ball with his left foot and shot the lower left corner, and the score was also locked at 4:1!
"Bei————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"The game ends! 4:1! We eliminated Juventus with a total score of 6:4! We advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League again! The reason why we were able to win in this game was due to Shaq's wonderful performance. His two goals directly wiped out Juventus's advantages. Only then can we turn the advantage into victory. Shaq is indeed the king of Manchester United and the treasure of our town team! As long as he is here, we Manchester United will always win!"
What the commentator said was exactly what Simon Grayson thought, he believed... as long as Shaq was there, his team could move forward all the way to the high mountain top!
In the next series of games, the "Red Devils" also showed an unstoppable invincible attitude... They beat Queens Park Rangers 3:0 away, defeated Everton 10:0 at home, Tottenham Hotspur 2:0 at home, and Bolton 4:0 away.
In the subsequent quarter-finals of the Champions League, Manchester United met Paris Saint-Germain, a team that believes in the gold and dollar policy. After years of accumulation, they can still dominate France and rarely prove their performance in the European arena. They have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, but unfortunately... they met Manchester United.
In two rounds, Manchester United defeated Paris Saint-Germain with a total score of 7:1, and defeated the 32nd round of the league's opponent Fulham 3:0.
On April 9, after Manchester United defeated Wigan 6:0 at home, the "Red Devils" with 33 games, 30 wins, 3 draws, 0 losses and 93 points this season, finally won the 2015-2016 Premier League championship with an unbeaten record five rounds ahead of schedule.
Manchester City, who ranked second, only had 74 points. It is still competing with Chelsea and Liverpool for the league runner-up.
After defending the league championship ahead of schedule, Manchester United can also devote more energy to the FA Cup and the Champions League, and their record has also become... well, stable.
For the "Red Devils", their record has nothing to improve. Stabilizing it is the only thing they can do.
Next, Manchester United beat Norwich City 3-0 away in the league, defeated Everton 4-0 at home, and defeated Aston Villa 4-2 in the FA Cup semi-finals. In the Champions League semi-finals, they defeated Barcelona 8-2 in the total score of two rounds, and once again held their heads up and advanced to the Champions League final.
When Barcelona met Manchester United again this season, their condition was completely fine. Neymar, Messi, Sanchez, Fabregas, Kompany, Busquets, Pedro and others all made the appearance, but they still lost to Manchester United and missed the qualification to enter the Champions League final.
But there is nothing we can do about it. "Little Flea" Messi is now 28 years old and his potential seems to have exploded completely when he was young. His condition has declined significantly in the past two years. He has contributed 27 goals to Barcelona last season, but this season has only 16 goals at 37 games. There are even reports that Messi has left Barcelona not far, and Barcelona no longer wants to endure a Messi who is in an incomplete state, but has a salary of up to 18 million euros.
Countless facts have proved that the best period for a striker player should be 25-27 years old, the peak period for a midfielder is 26-29 years old, and the golden period for a defender is 28-32 years old. As for goalkeepers... it seems that an excellent goalkeeper really cannot define what age he is in. Many goalkeepers become famous and strong at a young age, such as Cech, Buffon, Casillas, and now De Gea. They have reached a very high level at a young age, and of course there are also those who enter the golden period after they are thirty years old. The representative figure is Van der Sar, who once played for Manchester United.
The Argentine striker now seems to have really reached the end of his career. Although Messi is only 28 years old, his condition has declined so much, just like Ronaldinho was sold to AC Milan at the age of 28. He has never recovered since then.
Messi...will it be the next Ronaldinho!?
Everything about Barcelona is certainly not what Simon Grayson and his Manchester United care about, and they care more about their opponents in the Champions League final...
This time, the opponent of the "Red Devils" in the Champions League final caused an uproar because... it was unpopular!
Big upset!
In addition to Manchester United, another team that entered the Champions League final was actually a Ligue 1 powerhouse... Marseille!
This opponent in the Champions League final is really unpopular for Manchester United. Marseille was in the H Group with Manchester United in the group stage. After qualifying as the second in the group, they tied 0:0 with Manchester City in two rounds, and finally luckily eliminated Manchester City in the form of a penalty shootout.
In the quarterfinals, Marseille defeated Inter Milan with a total score of 5:4, and in the semi-finals, Sevilla was eliminated by a total score of 3:1, which finally reached the Champions League final.
It can be said that Marseille is really lucky this time. He can still reach the Champions League final without any big-name stars. Maybe there is something ulterior motive behind this.
But... Simon Grayson felt that he had better luck. Even European football and even fans around the world believed so. Manchester United played one win and one draw with Marseille in the group stage. They really had no psychological pressure on playing Marseille again. Moreover, in terms of overall strength, Manchester United is more than one level higher than Marseille.
This year's Champions League champion may really be won by Simon Grayson again. In this way, he will accomplish the feat of leading two teams to win the Champions League trophy for three consecutive years.
However, before that, Manchester United still had to complete the domestic competition. The League Cup and the League Championship have already been won, but there is still a FA Cup that has not been won. Although Manchester United is lucky this time, they encountered a weak team like Fulham in the FA Cup final, they have to play.
Before the Champions League final, Manchester United beat Newcastle 3-1 away in the league. They defeated Aston Villa 4-1 at home, and then defeated Fulham in the FA Cup final 2-0, successfully winning the FA Cup and completing the defending title.
Then Manchester United met Chelsea in the last round of the Premier League. Although this game is irrelevant to Manchester United, it still has some impact on Mourinho and his team. They are currently ranked third after Manchester City by one point difference in the standings. Mourinho really doesn't want to only win the third place in the league for two consecutive years. He can't compete for the championship, but he can't be suppressed by Manchester City.
The "Blue Army" who originally played at home actually had a glimmer of hope, but unfortunately... they met Shaq, who was in a hurry to score!
Yes, Shaq... misses goals!
Previously, Shaq played 64 games for Manchester United this season, and has scored a total of 190 goals. Seeing that this season, there is only the final league match with Chelsea and the Champions League final with Marseille. Shaq, who wants to score 200 goals this season, is really anxious.
10 goals...two games!
This may be an incomplete task for other players, but for Shaq, no one dares to guarantee that he cannot complete the task.
Then... Chelsea is in tragedy!
Mourinho is in tragedy!
At Stamford Bridge Stadium, Shaq scored 6 goals in the game to 20 minutes, 29 minutes, 36 minutes, 42 minutes, 63 minutes, and 85 minutes. She used her head and two feet. She scored 6 goals in the game, increasing the number of goals he contributed to Manchester United this season to 196!
Scoring 196 goals in a single season is definitely an extremely magical goal record. Many forwards can't score so many goals in their lives, but for Shaq, who wants to score 200 goals this season, this will definitely not be the end!
However, Shaq's record of scoring 126 goals in 38 league games has been recorded in the history of the Premier League. He has 99 more goals than Aguero, the second-place scorer list. The Argentine striker scored 27 league goals is also amazing, but in front of Shaq... it's better not to compete, it hurts people's self-esteem!
At this time, the football bell on the European continent was about to go out. There was no other game except the last highlight of the Champions League final. All England and European football began to focus their attention. Everyone wanted to see if a player could really score 200 goals in a season!?
Chapter completed!
