Chapter 118: Take the lead

Unai Emery's words made the stars of Paris Saint-Germain not care, they are all superstars worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, how can they be afraid of Li Qingshan alone?

So when the game started, in the cheers of the fans at the Parc des Princes, the stars of Grand Paris pressed hard and ate Manchester United in one bite.

However, things did not turn out as the PSG players said they had predicted.....

In the twelfth minute of the game, it was Manchester United who scored first.

Through a counterattack, Pogba picked the ball into the penalty area on the left side, and Li Qingshan jumped high in the penalty area to beat Thiago Silva's header!

Paris goalkeeper Traup was just figuratively waving his arms – in fact, by the time he could react, the ball had already hit the net!

Helpless!!

In the face of Manchester United's high-altitude bombardment, Grand Paris has no choice!!

Unai Emery sat in the dugout and shook his head slightly, he didn't have the slightest control over the Paris Saint-Germain team, and the stars did their own thing, completely ignoring him as a coach.

Even when he saw Li Qingshan put the ball into the goal, Emery even felt a sense of happiness in his heart.

Let you be arrogant, let you not listen to Lao Tzu!

A twisted smile tugged at the corners of Emery's mouth.....

Li Qingshan's header hits the goal!! Manchester United's high-altitude bombing tactics were very successful!! Manchester United take the lead!! First record!! They also got an away goal!! ”

'Paris started aggressively but against defending champions Manchester United they have to be wary of their backline!! This is the Champions League, not Ligue 1!! The opponent of the Champions League is not the belly of the fish that Paris Saint-Germain can abuse in Ligue 1, not to mention that they are now facing last season's champion Manchester United!! If they still have the mentality that they can't beat in Ligue 1, they will end up like this!! ”

Amid the boos of the fans at the Parc des Princes, Li Qingshan was celebrating the goal with his teammates.

It took just a dozen minutes to take the lead, which was a good start for United to reach the quarter-finals.

However, the United players didn't get too excited about the goal, it was just a last-16 game, and it would be a joke for the defending champions to be knocked out in the last 16.

Even if this opponent is Paris Saint-Germain....

......

The Parisian players were frustrated by the goal, with captain Thiago Silva yelling at the wide players in front of him, and the goal was conceded because the full-backs pressed too high that no one was even around him when Pogba crossed.

If a player with Pogba's footwork crosses empty, and then there is a terrifying center forward like Li Qingshan in the middle, even if Thiago Silva is a world-class super central defender, he will not be able to do anything about Li Qingshan's header.

However, Grand Paris were still a quality team and they equalised just before half-time.

It was Edinson Cavani, the starting centre-forward of the game, who scored the goal.

Draxler's through ball down the middle, Cavani met the ball in the middle, and the ball refracted off Hummels' shin guard and created an extremely tricky angle, flying into the net from the dead corner.

There was nothing De Gea could do about it.

Edinson Cavani was quite excited after the goal, and at the Parc des Princes in Paris, the Uruguayan performed his trademark machine-gun fire in a domineering celebration.

Li Qingshan can score, and so can I, Cavani!!

Cavani, who was roaring wildly, looked at Li Qingshan, but unfortunately it was the falling flowers who were deliberately ruthless, and Li Qingshan didn't notice Cavani's burning fighting intent at all.

Hum.... Ignore me, and I'll let you know how good Cavani is later!!

Scoring a goal gave Cavani a boost of confidence.

The goal showed the quality of PSG, but the goal did not affect the mood of the United players, who were still relaxed when the whistle blew at the end of the first half.

Because they have an away goal now, even if this game ends with this scoreline, they will be confident of coming back to their home game.

Of course, it's only the end of the first half, so it's definitely not going to be this scoreline.

At the start of the second half, United continued to defend solidly, slowly maneuvering against Paris Saint-Germain on the road.

Paris Saint-Germain did not learn the lessons of the first-half goal, and the first-half equaliser rekindled the confidence of the Parisian stars, and even if Unai Emery repeatedly highlighted United's attacking prowess at half-time, the Parisian players could not listen to the goal.

The big Parisians were not going to be willing to end the game with such a scoreline, so they started to press aggressively, so that there was a lot of space behind them, and it was up to Manchester United's forwards to take their chances.

Thirteen minutes into the second half, United finally seized a chance.

Li Qingshan made a cold arrow on the edge of the penalty area, and Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Traup made a wonderful save, but he did not hold the football or hit the bottom line, he just stopped the ball. Because of the suddenness of Li Qingshan's shot, it was not easy for Traupp to save this ball, and he couldn't ask for more.

And Di Maria, who was in the penalty area, was very clever to follow up with a follow-up shot, and easily made up the ball into the empty goal!

The score became two to one! Manchester United lead Paris Saint-Germain away!!

In a two-legged match, this score would give United the upper hand!

It was the goal that completely calmed down the PSG stars, who realised how strong they were against a team that might concede more goals if they continued to press the attack.

At this time, the camera wanted to find Ibrahimovic again, but the seat where Ibrahimovic was originally sitting was empty.

It seems that Ibrahimovic was also very unhappy with the performance of Grand Paris, and he left the field early.

Unai Emery never got up from the dugout, as if the game he was playing had little to do with him.

It really didn't have much to do with Unai Emery, and the stars in Paris completely knocked him out.

Manchester United was not in a hurry after taking the lead, after all, this was an away game, so under Manchester United's deliberate control, the score of 2-1 remained until the end of the game!

"The game is over!! In the first leg of the quarterfinals of the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League, Manchester United defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 away to take the lead in the two-legged match!! ”
