Chapter 998: This Time!

The start of the second half was smooth and largely continued the situation of the first half.

There were no tactical changes for either team, and the situation on the pitch was still with PSG in possession and United defending the counter-attack, but with two goals in hand, United played more securely.

It's not hard to understand, after all, it's already 2-0, and Ferguson has no reason to fight like he did when he was 0-0 or 1-0.

The barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and now Manchester United is wearing shoes.

Gao Han was not too anxious to make adjustments, but waited and watched.

At the start of the second half, Drogba was more diligent and harder, which was to be expected, but to his surprise, David Luiz was more excited and active, which was a welcome change.

But Ferguson did not dare to let Manchester United's defense shrink too deep, he attached great importance to the pressure of the Paris Saint-Germain midfield, once he retreated too far, it would inevitably lead to Manchester United's situation on the pitch becoming more passive, and he was worried that he would not be able to prevent it.

This situation continued until the 60th minute, and Gao Han finally made the first substitution of the game.

Suarez, who had been ready for a long time, replaced veteran Drogba.

After hugging Suarez on the sidelines, the Ivorian Warcraft walked to the coach's area, hugged Gao Han, and thanked the coach before putting on his training uniform and sitting on the bench to watch the game with other teammates.

Being substituted in the 60th minute was completely understandable for a 34-year-old starting veteran.

After Suarez came on, PSG's formation changed slightly.

Neymar was positioned further to the left, Suarez dropped back slightly and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was further up front.

This basically reflects the entire attacking system of Paris Saint-Germain at present, which is seriously left-leaning.

But so what?

Even if United knew about it and Ferguson responded, it was still the same.

After coming on as a substitute, Suarez's first touch of the ball came from the left, Marcelo passed to Di Maria, who then passed to Suarez, and the Uruguayan tore through the United defence.

But this time, after forming a single knife, Aubameyang was signaled offside by the linesman.

The Gabon international was clearly unhappy with the decision, and he immediately caught up with the referee, saying that he had taken a special look at Leighton Bynes, who was defending him, when he started, and how could Manchester United's left-back be offside when he was clearly in front of him?

But the referee favoured the linesman's decision and was quick to give the chattering Aubameyang a yellow card.

In fact, judging by the replay of the live TV footage, it was definitely a beautiful anti-offside.

The first attack was frustrated, but PSG still controlled the ball and continued to attack Manchester United.

Soon after, United were on a counter-attack, with Mkhitaryan on the left trying to break through with the ball, but Cesar Azpilicueta was very calm to intercept the ball and quickly pass to Andrea Pirlo in a midfield position.

The Italian quickly struck the ball through and pinpointed it into the front court.

Suarez retreated from the front line and, after receiving Pirlo's through ball, turned and slid a straight ball to the feet of Aubameyang on the right, and he sprinted quickly into the box.

The Gabon international took the ball and got close to Layton Baines, and when Suarez rushed to the penalty area, Aubameyang sent the ball into the box with a through ball, which landed right on Suarez's sprinting line.

I saw that the Uruguayan striker understood, slapped the horse and arrived, and played directly without stopping the ball.

"Aubameyang passes, Suarez, straight to the goal!"

'Oh my God, Keylor Navas was in a very good position and went down to save the ball. ”

"But the ball is still in the Manchester United penalty area, Neymar follows up and plays again!!"

"It was Keylor Navas, who blocked the ball again. ”

"Aubameyang ran too fast and didn't intercept the ball, Suarez stopped the ball and turned around to play again!"

Suarez's shot was blocked by Pepe, but it was still at Suarez's feet, stopping the ball. ”

"Five United players went over and Suarez passed back!"

Yaya Toure !!!!

"This time there is a !!"

"The ball is in!!!!!!"

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”

"From Yaya Toure from the penalty spot, PSG finally equalised!"

"Oh my God, this time PSG's successive shots created chaos in the Manchester United penalty area, Yaya Toure calmly seized the opportunity, and PSG finally pulled a goal back, 1-2!"

'It was a really good attack, a goal from Yaya Toure. ”

"From the whole attacking process, we can fully see the different changes between PSG and the first half. ”

This time PSG's transition was quicker, from Cesar Azpilicueta to Suarez's shot from inside the box, but in the space of a few seconds, the United defence did not have time to react, and PSG's attack quickly tore apart the United defence. ”

"Pirlo's mid-length pass is very accurate, Suarez's stop is also very beautiful, this kind of scene is difficult to see in the first half, and then his cooperation with Aubameyang is also very wonderful, Manchester United's defense is too concentrated on the right side, beware of Neymar and Marcelo's side, but ignore Aubameyang on the left, which is the second highest scorer in La Liga last season, second only to Messi, and the same scorer as Torres. ”

'Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal for Suarez was also very comfortable, Suarez played very neatly, and despite Navas's two brilliant saves in a row, United were finally breached. ”

"One to two, Suarez's arrival completely turned the tide. ”

…………

…………

Ferguson shook his head a little depressed after seeing Yaya Toure score.

The cold is still the cold, and it hasn't changed at all.

In terms of offensive tactics, Gao Han is definitely the sharpest head coach in football today, and there is no one.

The biggest crux of the first half of this game was Drogba, the thirty-four-year-old monster is indeed old, perhaps considering that he is more familiar with the Premier League team, or because of his excellent performance in Ligue 1, Gao Han arranged for him to start, but his performance turned out to be a little disappointing.

As the tactical fulcrum of the team, Drogba did not perform well and could not suppress Manchester United's central defenders, which naturally affected the team's attack, which became the biggest crux of Paris Saint-Germain's two-goal deficit in the first half.

It is clear that Gao Han also knows this.

But he still gave Drogba enough face and did not take off at half-time, which also shows that he has absolute confidence in his team's attacking ability.

In fact, after Suarez came on the pitch, PSG's attack was completely activated.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's pace was fearful, forcing United's defence to retreat every time PSG picked up the ball, while Neymar and Luis Suarez made the most of the area created by United's retreat.

The goal just now was Aubameyang on top, Suarez withdrew and received the ball between the two lines, of course, because Suarez stopped the ball beautifully, but it also had something to do with Pepe being held back by Aubameyang and unable to keep up with Suarez in time.

At the same time, Neymar was looking for an opportunity on the left flank, which forced United's defence to spread out, and then exposed a flaw.

After a few consecutive passes, the process from breaking the ball to counter-attacking shots was completed, and PSG's offensive and defensive transitions were as fast as ever, which is typical of Alpine style.

"Tell them to close their points and pay attention to their defense. Ferguson said in a deep voice.

Now that you are aware of the problem, you need to improve it in time.

…………

…………

With Ferguson's adjustments, United began to hold firmly in the area from the edge of the box to the 30-metre area, using two lines to set up defense.

But soon, Gao Han also made quick adjustments, and the team continued to press further, increasing the pressing of the midfield, especially Di Maria, who was very active, pointing directly at Carrick and Nemanja Matic.

The fighting style of the two famous coaches is reflected in the fact that Manchester United is stable on the pitch, and Paris Saint-Germain takes advantage of the victory to pursue.

Less than two minutes from Yaya Toure's goal, PSG created another chance.

Marcelo attacked on the left side, tried to break through after getting a pass from his teammate, but was tripped by Valencia, who was returning to the defense, but the referee did not blow for a foul, which made the Paris Saint-Germain players on the field a little dissatisfied.

Soon, Pirlo won the ball in the middle, grabbed the defense of Rooney, and stabbed Yaya Toure who retreated, and the Ivorian used his physical and technical advantages to dodge and move away, shaking off the three defenders of Manchester United and then dribbling the ball, but at this time the referee blew the whistle for a foul in the game, signaling Rooney to defend Pirlo for a foul.

This once again provoked the protest of Paris Saint-Germain, and captain Thiago Silva even rushed to the referee to protest, saying that such a penalty was unreasonable under the principle of attacking advantage, but the referee indicated that he did not mean to, but because Paris Saint-Germain's attack was too fast.

The successive biased penalties did not dampen the morale of Paris Saint-Germain, but made the players of the Ligue 1 giants aware of the team's advantages, and the stadium became more combative.

And everyone is aware that Paris Saint-Germain are gradually closing in on Manchester United's goal.

Finally, PSG seized the opportunity once again.

Di Maria intercepted Carrick's pass halfway through, dribbled forward quickly, and hit a left-footed through ball between Carrick and Valencia to the left and right, sending the ball behind Dario Srna on the left side of the field.

Neymar had been running close to Dario Srna all the time, and as soon as he saw Di Maria's pass, he immediately shook off Dario Srna and chased after the ball.

The Croatian full-back, who is very experienced, immediately recognised the danger and chased it quickly.

The two quickly entered the penalty area, but Neymar made a realistic feint on the outside of the small penalty area, which deceived Dario Srna into making a quick tackle move, and suddenly buckled and hit with his right foot.

But what I didn't expect was that Dario Srna's reaction speed was very fast, and he used his body to block it.

The ball hit Srna and bounced into the box.

Neymar grabbed his hair with both hands in frustration, but quickly shook his head and reached out to pull Dario Srna up on the ground, and he also had to admire the tenacity and rich defensive experience of the Croatian right-back.

Pirlo made a quick run to the corner and he was going to take it himself.

In the penalty area, Paris Saint-Germain's players were all in place quickly, with David Luiz, Thiago Silva, Yaya Toure and other players in place.

Pirlo made a gesture towards his team-mates in the box and quickly sent a forward point.

David Luiz blocked Pepe and Ferdinand with his body, and shook his head to push the ball that fell precisely above his head out of the penalty area.

At this time, the United players defended the front and back points, and made way in the middle.

Marcelo, who had been lying in ambush on the periphery of the penalty area, quickly followed up and shot directly with his left foot!
