Chapter 1027, The Flag of Paris

Emery has been in a very depressed mood recently.

After Paris lost 3-5 to Manchester United in their last Champions League game, Emery was under tremendous pressure. Although Paris won big victories in the next few domestic league games and was far ahead in the league standings, for the Paris management, such results were not enough. They have invested heavily and not just want to dominate the league, but also want to achieve good results in the Champions League.

Because of the tragic 3-5 defeat in the previous game, Emery was interviewed several times by the club's senior management. They hope that Paris can create a miracle in the second round and defeat Manchester United in one fell swoop to advance to the quarterfinals. This is the minimum requirement of the Paris senior management!

In fact, with the lineup configuration of Paris, they can definitely rank among the top eight in today's international football. Emery has no doubt about this.

But who would have thought that just after qualifying from the group stage, their first opponent in the knockout rounds would be their old enemy Manchester United?

Looking at the current situation in Paris, it is too difficult to overturn Manchester United in the away game. Emery's biggest reliance and variable at present is Brazilian Neymar.

However, Neymar has been unlucky recently. He used fancy moves to get past the opponent's defender in the league, but was kicked off the court by the opponent's defender and was injured on the spot!

Although the fouled player was sent off and suspended for five games, Neymar was injured.

According to the doctor's instructions, Neymar was originally unable to play in this game. Although he has recovered, he has not fully recovered. If the old injury has not healed and the new injury recurs, it may have an impact on Neymar's career.

But Neymar strongly requested to play in this game, and no one could persuade him. In the end, Emery couldn't get over him and arranged for him to start.

When the Parisians came to Manchester, a city they had visited last year, it gave them a very special feeling. The city seemed very peaceful and quiet, not excited about the upcoming Champions League game.

When entering the stadium before the game, the Paris players also felt that the surrounding Manchester United fans were very calm. Although they were full of expectations for the game, they did not show much hostility towards them, nor were they particularly enthusiastic about the game.

Rabiot curiously said something for Neymar, and Neymar shook his head with a serious look on his face: "Maybe these Manchester United fans don't take us seriously at all. In their hearts, Manchester United has already entered the top eight teams. This game It’s just going through the motions.”

Neymar guessed it right, Manchester United fans do think so.

With a score of 5-3 in the away game, unless Paris beats Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford, it will be able to create a miracle and advance, but is it possible?

Everyone thought it was impossible, even the Paris players felt there was little hope.

If there is anyone who has the strongest desire to win, then it is Neymar!

Just three minutes into the game, Neymar opened the scoring and scored the first goal of the game!

"Neymar made continuous dribbling moves in front of the penalty area. He made the entire Manchester United defense useless!"

"Koulibaly is definitely the top defender in the Premier League, but in the face of Neymar's dribbling, Koulibaly can do nothing but try to block Neymar and prevent him from moving forward."

"Neymar found a gap in the crowd! He shot a low ball straight into the dead center of the goal. De Gea didn't react!"

"1-0! Paris takes the lead at Old Trafford!"

"Paris tied the total score to 4 to 5! They have great hope of a comeback!"

The Paris fans in the audience were so excited that they shouted Neymar's name loudly and dedicated all their praise to their hero and the team's flag!

Neymar rushed into the net, hugged the ball and ran towards the center circle, with no intention of celebrating.

If you want to celebrate, wait until I score a hat trick!

Neymar's opening goal silenced the entire Manchester United fans for a moment. Soon, they overwhelmed Paris with loud noises.

Cheer for your team. At this time, the Manchester United players on the field were a little ashamed, especially on the defensive end. They did not expect that Paris' attack would start so quickly, and they were caught off guard.

Scholes on the sidelines looked at Kim Tiger: "Captain, we lost the ball, do we need to make any adjustments?"

Jin Taige shook his head: "No need. The goal conceded was just an accident, and they have realized it. I believe there will be no more problems in the next games."

Sure enough, as Jin Taige thought, as long as Manchester United maintains its own state and strength, this game will be very stable.

Shortly after Neymar scored, Manchester United also created good scoring opportunities one after another.

Because Paris continued to press today and formed a very forward formation, this gave Manchester United's offensive line many good opportunities.

Because of Lewandowski's injury, Manchester United's trident has become Griezmann, Salah and Mbappe. The three of them continued to cooperate in Paris' frontcourt to create opportunities.

Although Griezmann ran a wide range in this game and often connected in the midfield and frontcourt, De Bruyne was the real core of Manchester United's offense.

De Bruyne also pushed higher in this game. Not only did he pass the ball well, but his propulsion ability was also top-notch in the world. Coupled with his accurate shooting, he deserved the title of the best midfielder selected by FIFA in 2017.

In the 19th minute of the game, Verratti's pass was intercepted by Kanter and intercepted by Kanter. Kanter swept the ball and the ball was handed to the right. Cross faced the pressing of Rabiot and Draxler. He paused slightly, brought the two closer to him, and then kicked the ball to pass. It was given to De Bruyne who pushed forward.

De Bruyne took advantage of the situation and ran towards the Paris penalty area with the ball!

At this time, Manchester United's three forwards also moved forward at high speed, each looking for a suitable position.

"Kros attracted the entire Paris midfield line by himself! He passed the ball to De Bruyne!"

"De Bruyne advances with the ball! He rushes towards the Paris penalty area! Manchester United's offensive trident also activates at the same time, ready to respond!"

"The four defensive players in Paris' back line were all in position and ready to defend."

"De Bruyne approached the penalty area and he slowed down. Salah and Mbappe quickly moved into the penalty area and were ready to receive the ball!"

"Kimpembe, who was guarding De Bruyne, hesitated for a moment and did not dare to attack easily. De Bruyne did not pass the ball and directly took a long shot!"

"The ball hit the dead center! The ball went in!!!"

"After PSG scored first, Manchester United responded with a brilliant counterattack to equalize the score!"

"1 to 1! The two teams are back on the same starting line!"
