Chapter 427: Fighting for the Honor of Italian Football

Ibrahimovic's goal gave United a one-goal lead over Juventus at the Theatre of Dreams. At the same time, the aggregate score of the two legs became 5:2. With Manchester United having four away goals in hand, Juventus will have to chase four goals in a row if they want to knock out Manchester United without conceding any more goals for the remainder of the game.

It's almost an impossible task.

For the remaining minutes of the first half, neither team was scoreless. At the end of the first half, Manchester United led Juventus 1-0.

Jose Mourinho knows that Manchester United are almost certain to reach the Champions League final. Now he sees it more as a training session before the Champions League final.

In Manchester United's dressing room, Jose Mourinho lashed out at the defenders. He knows in his heart that Real Madrid, which has the BBC, is definitely stronger than Juventus. With the current state of this backline, the Champions League final may be beaten into a sieve by the Real Madrid forward led by Ronaldo!

Juventus' dressing room was surprisingly calm.

Bianconeri coach Allegri knows that Juventus' Champions League journey this year will end today. There is no need for him to be overly critical of the players. After all, their opponents, Manchester United, have LIL, which has been hot this season. Especially the old lieutenant from Huaguo, it is simply a perfect goal machine.

Juventus have completed seven consecutive Serie A titles this season. This is already a great achievement. Allegri, as the head coach, believes that the loss to Manchester United in the Champions League semi-finals is not because the old woman is too poor, but only because Manchester United is too strong, LIL is too strong, and the old lieutenant is too strong!

At this point, veteran captain Gianluigi Buffon unexpectedly broke the silence in the dressing room.

Buffon's words hit the nail on the head: "Everyone knows in their hearts that we will say goodbye to the Champions League today. ”

Juve's players, including manager Allegri, are well aware of this fact. It's just that no one has pierced this layer of window paper.

The Bianconeri players all looked up at their old captain, Gianluigi Buffon. The players know that their old captain's biggest wish now is to be able to lift the Big Ears Cup!

As a player, Gianluigi Buffon has lifted the Hercules Cup for Italy. In his 17 seasons with Juventus, he lifted the Serie A trophy 10 times. However, Buffon has repeatedly rubbed shoulders with the Big Ears Cup. This is the biggest regret of Buffon's career.

Buffon told the players: 'What I have to say. Even if we are out of the tournament, in the second half, we still have to fight for Juventus and for the glory of Italian football! We want to prove to the world that Juventus is not a coward! Even if you fail, you have to be vigorous! ”

Buffon's words seem to have aroused the fighting spirit of the Juventus players.

"That's right! At least the Manchester United goal at the Theatre of Dreams! ”

"We can't let Manchester United reach the Champions League final so easily!"

A group of players have expressed their positions.

Allegri looked at the 40-year-old super-aged player in front of him with an appreciative eye. What is Captain? When you fail, let your teammates regain their morale, that's exactly what a captain should do!

Allegri has always believed that Gianluigi Buffon is an impeccable player. As a goalkeeper, you probably won't shine like those super strikers. However, Buffon has stood diligently in front of his goal for more than 20 years. Every time a successful save can reflect the value of this 40-year-old man.

As the second half of the game was about to begin, Buffon clapped his hands: "Go, brothers." Let's go on the pitch and fight for Italian football, for the glory of Juventus! Come on! ”

The second half of the game begins.

Manchester United's defenders were scolded by Jose Mourinho at half-time. However, they believe that Juventus, which is already ironclad out, should not be able to organize any decent attack in the second half. The pressure on United's backline should be much less.

Who would have thought that Juventus organized a crazy attack as soon as it opened!

Juventus, who broke the kettle, and even central defender Chiellini assisted in the front!

Liu Yun, the captain of Manchester United, couldn't help but think of the "kamikaze suicide squad" at the end of World War II. Juventus are now like those suicide squads who are not afraid of death, making reckless gambles!

For a full 10 minutes of the second half, Manchester United was suppressed in their own half by the crazy attacking Juventus.

In the 56th minute, Juventus' crazy attack finally came to fruition!

Cuatrado passes to Higuain in the box from the edge of the box. Higuain didn't rush to the ball and instead crossed the ball to Mandzukic, who was in a better position.

Mandzukic shoots with the arch of his foot under Bailly's close marking. The ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the United goal.

Although De Gea, who was in great form in this game, made a save, the shot was too close to the goal and the angle was too awkward. The ball goes into the United goal.

1:1! Juventus equalize! The aggregate score of the two legs became 5:3!

Mandzukic excitedly showed the Juventus crest on his chest to the camera after scoring the goal. See? We are Juventus! The hegemon of the seven-in-a-row Serie A championship! Even if we are doomed to failure, we must fail vigorously!

Buffon roared hoarsely in front of goal after Mandzukic's goal.

Midfield kicks off again. Juventus continued to press with all their might. The result of pressing with all your strength must be a rear air defense void.

In the 65th minute, Pogba successfully intercepted Khedira's pass. After the interception, Pogba stuffed the ball to Liu Yun in the midfield.

Liu Yun took the ball and glanced ahead.

In the huge Juventus half, there were only two defenders, Bonucci and Stuanodo!

Liu Yun decisively kicked up and played a long pass behind Juventus! Lukaku starts!

Manchester United's young donkey Romelu Lukaku is a player who is known for his speed. He accelerated to start, caught up with Liu Yun's pass, vigorously hit the ball, and ate Bonucci raw with speed! Single Knife Ball! Lukaku formed a single knife!

Buffon strikes decisively!

Gianluigi Buffon and Romelu Lukaku are like two trains speeding head-on, about to collide.

If it had been a year ago, Lukaku would have chosen to shoot! However, in the season that Manchester United got along with Ibrahimovic and Liu Yun, Lukaku learned to share opportunities, learned not to be greedy, and learned to make balls for his teammates!

At this point, Ibrahimovic had run to the right of Lukaku.

Lukaku decisively crossed the ball to Ibrahimovic 0.1 seconds before he collided with Buffon!

Ibrahimovic got the ball! Facing the empty goal, he gently pushed, and the ball rolled into the net!

2:1! Manchester United take the lead again!

"Roar, selfless pass! Romelu Lukaku has matured at Manchester United! From the competitive and fierce young man in the past, he has become a veteran player! On the commentary bench, the big-mouthed Dunphy praised Lukakudo.

Fat Bob answered: "Hmm! With veteran lieutenant Liu Yun as an example, Lukaku has learned to create opportunities for his teammates! LIL's terrifying thing is not only the outstanding foot skills and superb shooting skills of the three people. What's even more terrifying is the selfless feeding of each other, the tacit understanding of the three of them like one person! ”
