When the referee signaled Rooney that he could take a free throw, Rooney made a gesture to the Manchester United players on the field: except for the thumb and little finger of his left hand, the other three fingers stood up high.

The Manchester United players on the field knew that this was the third set of corner kick attack tactics to be implemented. As a result, the players on the field moved one after another. The tall Maguire ran out of the small penalty area somewhat unexpectedly by the Monaco players, came to the front point, and attacked Rooney's header at the close point. The shape of the door.

The Monaco player defending him immediately followed up, sticking tightly to Maguire, not giving the opponent a chance to take off comfortably.

The entire Louis II stadium seemed to have fallen into a dead silence in an instant, and everyone looked nervously at Rooney in the corner.

Rooney was also ready, took a few steps back, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted his emotions.

Following the referee's whistle, Rooney opened his eyes and moved forward quickly.

To the surprise of everyone in the audience, Rooney did not kick the ball.

The corner kick is thrown out of the arc, which is Rooney's forte, but this time, he didn't do it. He drove the ball directly and kicked it to Maguire from the previous point.

Maguire used his strong body of 1.94 meters to carry the Monaco defender and stop the ball.

At this time, everyone's attention fell on Maguire. He got the ball in the penalty area, and as long as he turned around, he could immediately create a threat.

Especially Maguire, is now a top central defender who is well-known in Europe and even the world. This England central defender, in addition to his superb header ability, is also good at his feet. The ability to play the ball with the feet. His dribbling and assists are often Manchester United's killer move to break the situation on the opponent's field.

………………

Both sides in the penalty area are also facing the enemy, and everyone is in a mess.

All of this happened in an instant, so that no one noticed at all. When Rooney was about to send a corner kick, he was originally outside the penalty area and near the arc of the middle circle. Together with Kanter, he defended Monaco and played a quick counterattack. Mbappe rushed up silently.

Maguire was obviously waiting for Mbappe a long time ago. When Rooney made the third set of corner kick tactics, Maguire knew what to do.

As soon as Rooney's tactical corner kick came over, Maguire immediately moved the ball horizontally to his right, which is the opposite direction of the offense.

At the same time, he used his body to block the Monaco defender behind him.

Mbappe's speed was very fast, and he quickly passed in front of Maguire, and after moving the football that Maguire had brought forward, he entered the penalty area.

Mbappé's sudden appearance disrupted Monaco's entire defensive system. Because Mbappe was not among their defensive targets at all. The kid was still in the middle arc a few seconds ago, looking like he was defending against Monaco's counterattack against Manchester United.

How did he get into the penalty area of ​​Monaco in a blink of an eye?

………………

When the Monaco players were flustered, Mbappe's goal was very clear. I saw that he stepped on the side of the ball with his left foot, swung his right foot, tilted his body at an angle with the ball, and pulled out his right foot vigorously.

Only a bang was heard at the scene, and there was a burst of exclamation from the stands!

The ball is like a cannonball. It flew out from Mbappe's right foot. After passing over the heads of everyone in the penalty area, it fell quickly. After going around an arc, it almost rubbed the goal crossbar and the right post. The angle between them crashed into the goal!

This sudden shot was fast, urgent, and full of strength. Mbappe pressed the ball so low that everyone had no time to react. Even Monaco's goalkeeper Subasic didn't notice that the ball was gone. In!

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene on the court, at Mbappé after the shot, at the ball bouncing in the goal...

They were all stunned!

No one thought that Manchester United would score a goal in such a way!

Jardim on the sidelines was so surprised that he covered his mouth, apparently in disbelief, while Ye Su was so excited that he jumped up.

In the penalty area, after Mbappe scored a goal, he thought of celebrating, but when he just rushed up, he was hugged by Maguire and fell into the penalty area.

"The goal is scored!!! It is definitely a world wave!"

"From Kylian Mbappe, who is only eighteen years old!"

"In the 89th minute, Mbappe scored a world wave. This will definitely become a classic goal!"

"Before this corner kick was taken, Mbappe was still talking to his teammate Kante in the midfield. After Rooney took a tactical corner kick, he rushed forward quickly, received Maguire's pass and waded into the penalty area, with his right foot directly. Hit the door!"

"Mbappe's speed is too fast, so fast that everyone has not reacted, he has already kicked the goal! It's wonderful! It's a world-shattering finale!"

"Seven weeks ago, Mbappe was a blockbuster against Sevilla away at Manchester United. Now, when Manchester United played away at Monaco, Mbappe's old club, the teenager showed no mercy and helped Manchester United again. Score a crucial goal!"

………………

Mbappe doesn't want to celebrate after scoring at the Luis II Stadium, because this is the place where he was trained and one of the places where his dreams began.

But before he could resist, he was pushed to the ground by Maguire, and he was helpless.

Mbappé was pressed on by his teammates one after another, but the most painful one was obviously not him, but Maguire who hugged him. This guy was afraid of accidentally pressing Mbappe, so he just supported his body.

All the players fell on the court in groups, celebrating wildly. In the stands, the Manchester United fans were also cheering, as if they had forgotten that even if Manchester United scored another goal, they did not equalize or win, and they were still behind by one goal.

But this is meaningless to them.

3:4, they are already satisfied to be able to catch up to this point in the away game!

They are really satisfied with this score, because it reminds them that a year ago, when Manchester United faced Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, they also scored this score in an away game.

Then what happened back home in the second leg, everyone knows.

"Tonight was really a wonderful game! Manchester United and Monaco contributed a very good game for us. Compared with Barcelona's Jedi comeback, I don't know which of these two games is better, but I have to say, this is evenly matched The matchup was even more attractive. Both sides played very well, Monaco had the advantage, but Manchester United played extremely tenaciously."

"Especially Mbappe's finale world wave at the last moment, it made all of us worth the fare."

………………

In the VIP room on the stands of the stadium, after seeing Mbappé scoring the world wave, the owner of Monaco, Rybo Norev, walked out of his seat excitedly, looking a little unbelievable on the pitch.

If it wasn't for the scoreboard showing 4:3, he would have thought he was dazzled.

Everything happened too fast, the finale world wave, this is destined to become the headlines of the major media tomorrow!

As Mbappe's former boss, he and his Monaco will probably become everyone's laughing stock.

Such an outstanding talent was sold off by them as an addition to Martial!

Although he is rich, that's not how a prodigal loses!

Rybonovlev has already decided in his heart that he must fire the guy who sold Mbappe cheaply and let him go to Siberia to dig coal!

………………

"Now our away game has become a bit tricky." While the boss of Monaco was gnashing his teeth, Monaco's coach Jardim shook his head and said to his assistant with a wry smile.

Although the original 4:2 score did not give him a sense of security, because they were facing the terrible Red Devils Manchester United, but in fact, this result is indeed very good for Monaco, because there is room for relaxation.

But now it has become 4:3, so Monaco is really dangerous. Because a year ago, the mighty Bayern Munich scored this score against Manchester United at home. As a result, they went to Old Trafford in the second round, and Bayern Munich was out without any suspense.

Jardim doesn't think his team is better than Bayern Munich.

Of course, Jardim will not think that his team will definitely be reversed and eliminated by Manchester United at Old Trafford, after all, the initiative is still in his hands now.

It's just that he and his team will be mentally prepared for a fierce battle when they go to Old Trafford next week.

………………

On the pitch, after celebrating wildly, the Manchester United players returned to the field under the urging of the referee.

Each of them had a smile of anticipation on their faces.

Yes, the away game was 3:4. Although they lost, they all felt hope. As long as they return to the home court, as long as they can lead by one goal, then Manchester United has the hope of advancing.

Although they clearly know that Monaco is good at playing defensive counterattacks, and they clearly know that it is not easy to score Monaco's goals, but they are still full of confidence and fighting spirit.

Last season, when they lost the game with such a score in the away game, they returned to home and eliminated Bayern Munich in the second round. What is impossible?

Is Monaco more difficult to deal with than Bayern?

nonexistent!

Ye Su also didn't expect that the same situation as last season would reappear under the twists and turns of the situation. Could it be that there is really such a thing as predestined in the world?

Otherwise, how to explain what happened in front of you?

But he quickly put the so-called destiny and destiny behind him, because he prefers to believe that this is the result of the joint efforts of himself and everyone at Manchester United.

It was their hard work and not giving up that allowed the deciding game to be played at Old Trafford.
