Chapter 331 Seal the victory
"Yang! Two to zero! Two to zero!!"

Liverpool have scored again!

"They've almost made it to the FA Cup semi-finals!"

"Could it be that the script of a reserve team winning the League Cup is going to be repeated in the FA Cup?"

The commentary booth erupted in cheers.

Old Trafford Stadium.

Manchester United fans fell silent.

People watching on the screen could hear it clearly.

In the away team's stands.

The chants and cheers of Liverpool fans.

The camera lens gave Ferguson a close-up in the stands.

His face was ashen.

Clearly, they were very dissatisfied with Manchester United's performance.

After the game restarted.

Matic is hesitant to make any major moves.

Manchester United's players also suffered a significant drop in morale after conceding the goal.

Liverpool took the initiative and created a series of chances away from home.

Manchester United's goal was under siege.

In the stands at Old Trafford, Manchester United fans began to worry that their team would concede more goals.
However, De Gea performed steadily, making several crucial saves to prevent Manchester United from conceding a third goal in the first half.

In the locker room.

Solskjaer mainly emphasized offensive matters.

As for defense
Solskjaer decided to put Matic in charge of sweeping, while Herrera would keep an eye on the sun.

To prevent Matic from receiving a second yellow card.

The key to this game is no longer defense.

Instead, it's an attack.

Manchester United must launch a major offensive at home.

otherwise.

They're going to lose this game.

On their home turf.

Lost to a Liverpool squad with a reserve lineup.

This is an absolute disgrace.

After the start of the second half.

Manchester United adopted a posture of launching a major attack.

But they couldn't break through.

Football is mostly played on the periphery.

This made their players increasingly impatient.

Pogba took a wild shot from outside the box.

This is a concentrated manifestation of this impatient mentality.

The anxiety sparked by that shot spread like a plague among Manchester United's players.

Lukaku was not to be outdone.

He received the ball on the wing, then cut inside without passing, unleashing a powerful shot that knocked out a lucky spectator in the second-floor stands.

Short hair, beer belly, professional winger Lukaku.

Lukaku has gone to the wing.

There's no center forward in the middle.

Manchester United's attack lacked a focal point.

Even the organization in the midfield and forward areas began to fall into disarray.

Solskjaer's weaknesses have been exposed.

His team is not good at positional attacks, and they are not mentally strong enough.

Easily agitated and flustered.

under these circumstances.

Frequent heart-stopping moments occurred on the pitch for Manchester United fans.

The match ended in the 56th minute.

Liverpool had a very good attacking opportunity.

At that moment, Lukaku pulled to the wing and tried to cut inside to shoot.

His shot was blocked by Lovren.

It fell to the feet of the sunlight.

When Yang Guang received the ball, his back was to the direction of the attack.

Herrera's first instinct was to get close to the sun.

With a flick of the outside of his foot, Yang Guang passed the ball out while simultaneously turning in another direction.

Herrera couldn't hold on to her.

Then, the full-back Achraf, who had received the pass from Yang Guang, obediently passed the ball back to Yang Guang's feet!

"Sunshine! Counter-attack! Liverpool's counter-attack is on!!"

Matic immediately rushed towards the sun with the ball.

As a result, Sunshine's diagonal pass found Shaqiri, who had made a run down the wing.

Shaqiri quickly accelerated.

When he got the ball.

Manchester United's backline is very vulnerable!
Shaqiri is galloping freely.

In the blink of an eye.

The battle has spread to Manchester United's backfield.
The rest of Manchester United players scrambled back to defend.

Left-back Luke Shaw finally caught up with Shaqiri just outside the penalty area and blocked him to his side.

Shaqiri did not rely on his speed to continue his forced breakthrough.

There's not much room left for him to utilize his speed now.

He looked up and glanced at the situation inside the restricted area.

Then, he flicked the ball down the wing with his right foot and made a feint to cross, tricking Luke Shaw into sticking out his foot to block. Then, he cut inside with his right foot.

Flick the ball to your left foot, then gently push it towards the edge of the penalty area!
The sun has already risen.

Sunshine had originally intended to shoot, but he changed his mind after Bailly and Smalling made a desperate tackle.

His right foot, which was about to shoot, suddenly relaxed.

The taut instep transformed into a spoon.

The football soared into the air and flew over two defenders.

The sunlight seemed to leap up, soaring over the two Manchester United center-backs who were lying on the ground.

"Yang is on his own!"

Amid the commentator's exclamation.

De Gea has already made his move!

"De Gea!!"

In the commentary box.

The Manchester United radio commentator's desperate cries were tinged with intense hope.

All the fans were focused on the penalty area at that moment.

De Gea was aggressive.

He had to do it.

Because he wanted to gain the upper hand in terms of momentum.

Just as he was trying to figure out what the sunlight was going to do...

Suddenly, Yang Guang twisted his right foot.

"Go inside!!"

De Gea decisively moved half a step to the left and forward.

Be ready to launch your body at any time.

But just as he took that half-step, Yang Guang suddenly poked him with his left foot.

It was done almost in an instant.

By the time De Gea realized what was happening...

The football had already rolled past his feet.

It is attached to the inner edge of the column.
It rolled into the net!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!"

"Sunshine!! 3-0! Another brace!! Beautiful!!!"

"That one-on-one chance was handled with such composure! In the battle of wits and courage between De Gea and De Gea, De Gea was completely defeated!"

The commentators erupted in cheers.

Only the Manchester United radio commentator covered his face in anguish.

Even if you're down by one goal, you can still catch up.

Being down by two goals doesn't mean there's no hope.

Being down by three goals is basically a death sentence.

Although there is still time left in the game.

But they had to face Liverpool's incredible comeback, scoring three goals in quick succession.
Few mentally sound Manchester United fans would believe that such a thing could happen.

Manchester United fans covered their faces in anguish.

The camera lens was pointed at the stands.

Some fans have already started leaving the stadium.

The stadium stands quickly emptied out.

The remaining Manchester United fans have lost all their fighting spirit.

They sat in the stands, staring blankly at the field, as if they were experiencing a nightmare.

Solskjaer stood on the sidelines, arms crossed, brows furrowed, and shaking his head slightly.

Manchester United need to attack now.

We need a goal!
A single goal could reignite Manchester United's morale.

But how do you score a goal?
Solskjaer turned his gaze to the substitutes' bench.

then
French striker Martial has been sent to warm up.

Now it's time for Manchester United to fight tooth and nail.

"They're changing their players!"

Kravitz reminded him from the side.

Klopp glanced at the opposing team and saw that they had substituted Martial.

A smile appeared on his face.

He wasn't worried about the opponent making substitutions.

They're up 3-0.

The higher the opponent pushes, the better.

The more Liverpool do so, the more opportunities they have to score.

"It's just a desperate struggle! They've brought on a striker to try and strengthen their attack, but that only makes their defense even more vulnerable. I even think we could score!"

Klopp checked the time.

It is now the 58th minute of the match.

There are still more than 35 minutes left in the game.

If Liverpool had been more efficient in attack during those times...

It might even lead to a massacre.
Solskjaer was well aware that bringing on a striker was a gamble.

It's gambling.

However, they were down by three goals.

Solskjaer had no choice but to gamble.

"You need to receive the ball in the area just outside the penalty area, use your ball control to protect it, and then let our formation push forward. Keep the attack simple, and shoot decisively when you have the opportunity!"

Solskjaer put his arm around Martial's shoulder and gave him instructions.

Martial nodded repeatedly.

Solskjaer nodded.

They pushed Martial to the sidelines.

Martial was substituted.
Matic!
Replace the defensive midfielder with a striker!
Manchester United are going all out!

"Manchester United are making a substitution; Martial is replacing Matic!"

"With two strikers, Manchester United are going all out!"

Commentators offered various analyses of Manchester United's purpose in making this substitution.

After Martial came on.

Manchester United began to have a lot of opportunities.

At least Liverpool's penalty area is starting to get lively.

However, this kind of excitement doesn't come without a price.

That is when there is one less defensive midfielder.

In the lower back position.

Only Herrera is left!

Sunlight keenly noticed this.

So after regaining possession of the ball.

He pressed his hands down.

Then they took possession of the ball in the backfield.

He protected the ball, slowed down the pace of the game, and Liverpool were leading 3-0. There was absolutely no need for Liverpool to rush.

With the constant movement and support of the ball, Liverpool got it into Manchester United's 30-meter zone.

Origi received the ball on the wing, stopped it, and then observed the surroundings.

He saw the sunlight in the middle of the road.

Sunlight is the first pass option.

So Origi quickly passed the message over.

Sunshine received the ball at the edge of the penalty area.

He kept the ball firmly under his feet.

However, Herrera was no pushover either.

Not committing a foul doesn't mean they'll give up defending against the sun.

He basked in the sunlight from behind.

His act of lifting the umbrella was actually used by the sunlight.

Yang Guang smoothly pulled the ball back, turned around, and faced the goal directly.

He's already close to the top of the free-throw arc.

At this moment, Origi, Shaqiri, and Odegaard were all pressing into the penalty area, making Manchester United's defenders hesitant to make any rash moves.

A gap will appear as soon as anyone comes up to block the sunlight.

At that point, a simple through ball will break through the defense.

They dare not take risks.

At that moment, only Pogba rushed towards the sunlight.

Pogba has actually been chasing back all along.

But he kept thinking about it.

If the ball is intercepted.

Then he would have a chance to receive the ball and launch a counter-attack.

Therefore, his return was not resolute enough.

They don't seem very enthusiastic.

In Mourinho's era.

Mourinho has repeatedly criticized Pogba's lax defensive attitude.

But Pogba felt...

One should use their abilities on the offensive end.

On the defensive end, two defensive midfielders should be assigned to assist him.

This way, he can fully utilize his abilities in the attacking midfield position.

However, Mourinho doesn't tolerate this approach.

In his view, all players should obey his commands.

He tells the players which position to play, and they have to play that position.

All players must obey his commands unconditionally.

Frankly speaking, this approach is no longer effective among the new generation of players.

Mourinho had disagreements with many Manchester United players.

That already speaks volumes.
At this moment.

Pogba has realized what the sun is about to do.

He quickly started his sprint.

As long as the sunlight is adjusted.

He can then catch up with the sunlight.

But the sunlight wasn't adjusted.

He pulled the ball and turned, briefly getting rid of Herrera in a narrow space of less than a meter.

Let's start with the right foot!

A long-range shot!
He sliced the ball up with the inside of his right foot.

The football drew an exaggerated arc in the air.

They bypassed the crowd inside the restricted area.

It even reached the fingertips of the goalkeeper who lunged forward.

It grazed the right post and flew into the goal.

When the football flew into the goal.

Pogba has only just arrived – his defensive awareness is still worse than Matic's.

Old Trafford fell silent as the ball arced through the penalty area, past everyone, including Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, and grazed the inside of the post before flying into the net.

Liverpool fans watching on television were cheering wildly.

"Sunshine! Sunshine! His signature long-range shot! Four to zero!! Liverpool are now leading four to zero!!! Sunshine's scoring efficiency against strong teams is too high! This is another hat-trick! His last hat-trick was against Manchester City! He's simply a killer of strong teams!"

"Liverpool fans can celebrate now, the suspense of the game is over!"

"Sunshine's long-range shot—hey, great shot! Great shot! That was a beautiful shot! Just that tiny bit of hesitation gave Sunshine the opportunity to shoot! Liverpool are leading 4-0!" Duan Xuan said with a smile.

"Wow! That's awesome! The sunshine is awesome!"

"Holy crap, another hat trick! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!!!"

"World wave——!"

"Sunshine: Everyone move aside, let me have it!"

……

After Sunshine scored, the internet exploded.

Everyone expressed their admiration for the sunshine.

It's no wonder everyone was so surprised; Yang Guang's performance was indeed amazing.

Against a strong team like Manchester United, he scored another hat-trick! Helping his team take a 4-0 lead!
This goal absolutely thrilled Liverpool fans.

It's 4-0.

Even the most conservative Liverpool fans are now completely relieved.

Their team is guaranteed to win!

With this victory, Liverpool advance to the FA Cup semi-finals!

And this was done by a substitute rotation player!

After scoring, the sun didn't spread its arms and run wildly...

He stood there, raising one fist high.

The other Liverpool players, like insects drawn to a flame, swarmed towards him from all directions, embraced him, and celebrated the goal with him.

But no matter how many people were affected, Yang Guang's raised fist never fell.

Seeing this, Duan Xuan exclaimed, "What a brilliant strike!"

The goal is being replayed on the television screen over and over again.

From behind the sunlight, from behind the goal, from above the field...
