Chapter 109: Wounded Soldiers! (3.13 Guaranteed 1)
Chapter 109: Wounded Soldiers!
Simon? After all, Grayson is now a world-class coach, his on-the-spot command ability is worthy of recognition, and the tactical instructions he made have been well implemented by the Manchester United players, and the situation on the field has begun to become calmer.
Manchester United's current lineup is composed of the top stars and first-class stars in world football today, and players who can become players of this level are all combative and individual, and they are led by the "old lady" 2:0 at Juventus Stadium.
In the 31st minute, Manchester United completed one of the most threatening shots of the game, Ganso passed the ball back to the feet of Krisetig on the left side, and the Italian midfielder pointed the ball down with his right foot, and immediately followed up with his left foot, a precise 30-meter through pass, and sent the ball to the right side of the top of the Juventus penalty area!
"Bang!"
Shaq caught up with the ball with a timely diagonal run, and directly pulled out his foot and shot angrily on the right side of the arc of the big penalty area, which belongs to the "Shaq penalty area"!
"Whew!"
After the ball was kicked out by Shaq, it flew straight to the top right corner of the Juventus goal!
Juventus' goalkeeper Viviano was a little forward, and although he was in the middle, he couldn't do anything about Shaq's shot, turning around and watching the ball fly higher and higher in horror, until the ball grazed the right post and flew out of the bottom line, he was relieved.
"Oh---"
Manchester United hugged their heads and lamented that Shaq's form today was fine, but such an opportunity was missed...... What a pity!
Shaq's mentality is stable, he knows his own affairs best, and he can clearly feel that his state is still good today. He is also confident that the goal will come sooner or later.
Turning around, Shaq gave a thumbs up to Krisetig in the distance and made a "like" gesture.
Simon on the sidelines? Grayson also nodded with satisfaction, just now the Italian midfielder is still in the center circle, but he has been able to directly create a threat to the opponent through passing, which is why Krisetig can replace Flanei's position. Become Simon? The reason for Grayson's first choice in the back is that the passing is more accurate, the awareness is better, and he can directly launch an attack in the backfield, and the "new Pirlo" really deserves his name!
And most importantly...... At just 23 years old, the same age as Shaq, plus the likes of Rivero, Flanagan and Papadopoulos, this will be the backbone of Manchester United for the next decade.
The "old lady" who played at home still seemed unhurried in the face of Manchester United's strong rebound. But if the opportunity arises, they will be extremely athletic and want to give Manchester United the final blow!
There was only one goal between 2-0 and 3-0, but the impact was completely different, and if Juventus had taken a 3-0 lead at home, there would have been no more suspense in this game, and the solid Juventus could definitely use the Italians' 1-0 attention and their strong defence to take advantage of the first leg of the meeting.
But now...... We'll have to wait!
at 36 minutes. Juventus got a corner kick from the right side of the field, and the "old lady" also became young in an instant. Almost everyone rushed forward to take the opportunity to kill Manchester United.
But—
The corner was an opportunity for Juventus, but it was also an opportunity for Manchester United, who had an empty backfield that would have made their defensive ability much lower.
"Bang!"
Giovinco's corner was kicked in and the ball was fast enough to cross the entire penalty area for United. No one touched the ball either, and when the ball landed on United's right side of Donny van de Wiel, the Dutch right-back reacted quickly and fired a long ball straight towards the right-hand halfway line.
Right-back Kolscha was the first to get to the spot, and his right foot stopped the ball. There was an extra red figure beside him...... Sark!
"Boom!"
Shaq and Korsa kicked each other across the ball, and Korsha, who was in a hurry to clear the siege, obviously forgot that Shak, a perverted "super breakup" on the green field, was born as a pure defensive player!
This confrontation between the two people is completely fighting as defenders, and the result is ...... Already half-down to tackle, Korsa was squeezed away by Shaq's strength!
Seeing the ball flying forward, Shaq immediately accelerated and rushed forward, running forward with the ball all the way, and behind him were three Juventus players actively retreating, but no one could stop Shaq from moving forward for even a second!
After dribbling into the Juventus penalty area on the right, Shaq made a decisive stop, and after smashing the ball to his side with his right foot, he could easily finish the shot with his left foot.
If you shoot in this position, of course, the Juventus goal angle on the left side is better, and Viviano is also well aware of this, and subconsciously judged that Shaq would make such a choice!
But when Shaq pumped his left foot on the ball, everyone found out...... The world of genius is really not something that mortals can understand!
Shaq's shot didn't fly towards the Juventus goal on the left, but he pulled a low arc shot with his left foot into the bottom right corner of the Juventus goal!
Yes!?
Viviano's centre of gravity had shifted to the right, and by the time he spotted the ball flying towards the near corner of the goal on his left-hand side, it was too late to make a save......
“GAOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
At the moment when the ball grazed the inside of Juventus' right post and flew across the goal line, everyone on the Manchester United side in the Juventus stadium roared angrily, and the huge sound seemed to make the stadium shake, and after holding back the anger for more than 30 minutes, there was finally a chance to vent!
At the end of the first half, the score was still 2:1, and despite conceding a goal, Juventus's performance was still very solid. Grayson also had to cooperate, the foundation of a team really can't be changed in a moment, just like the passionate offensive football of the "Red Devils", it will not change because of who makes it, this is a team's deep character.
Manchester United, who are only one goal behind, have seen hope of an equaliser. Everyone has become more active and harder......
On 54 minutes of the second half, Krissettig intercepted Juventus' goal kick with a header in the centre circle and headed it in front of the Juventus penalty line.
Matojo, who was chasing back, was very fast, and he also stopped the ball confidently, and did not pass the ball back to goalkeeper Viviano in the first place. But at this moment, there was suddenly a touch of red in the field of vision of his left eye, and the next moment ......
A light step!
Lost the ball!?
Matoho could hardly believe his eyes, Manchester United's top scorer Shaq just stretched out his foot, took the ball under his feet, and rushed straight into his own penalty area!
After Shaq got the ball, he continued to move forward, facing the attacking Viviano, he slammed the ball with his right foot to the left. After catching up again, with a gentle push of the arch of his left foot, the ball flew into the empty Juventus gate with a "whoosh...... 2:2 draw!
“GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
This time, everyone on the Manchester United side is going crazy, Simon? Grayson rushed from his seat to the sideline with his fists raised, and after roaring, he seemed to use all his strength, and fell to his knees in front of the touchline.
Strong!
That's so strong!
With all the serious faces on the Juventus side, including the fans in the stands, the Italians now really have a deep understanding of Shaq, a super breakup who has just been named the world's No. 1 player......
Two goals!
That's not the point. The key point is that both of Shaq's goals were not good chances to score. But with his excellent individual ability, he turned it into a goal.
At this moment, Juventus coach Antonio Conte pursed his lips expressionlessly, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart: such a player...... It's really unguardable, the team has already choked all the offensive of Manchester United, and there is no offensive route for the "Red Devils" at all. But Shak, a player, relied on his personal ability to break out of a way and completed a brace to equalize the score! If it weren't for the opponent's own goal gift, Juventus would be behind now!
This...... What else can I say!?
Juventus really can't do anything with Shak, but they have a trick up their sleeve for others. Shaq's two goals actually came from Krisetig, and the rest of United's players couldn't do much in attack, so Krisetig ...... You have to see death too!
As a result, "The Old Woman" became more guarded against Krisetig in the following games......
On 61 minutes, Krissettig intercepted Juventus' long pass from the back again, and this time Matri rushed out and hit Krisetig, and his foot tripped his opponent.
"Ahh
Krisetig, who fell to the ground, screamed and roared, and then held his right leg and knees in pain...... The situation is serious!
The players on the court are like this, those who roll on the ground and grin their teeth are basically not seriously injured, that is, labor pains, and those who are really injured are holding on to the injuries and dare not move again.
Manchester United's team doctors rushed up to check it out and brought it to Simon? Grayson: Bad news...... Krissettig could no longer play and had to be taken to the hospital immediately.
Simon? Grayson did not arrange Flanei to enter the bench in today's game, he felt that Krissettig was so young, the probability of injury was very small, and Ganso and Rooney could also play in the back on the field, so he left the places for Di Maria, Mata, Cleverley and others, at this time...... But it's really miserable!
As a last resort, Simon? Grayson sent Cleverley on the pitch and then asked Ganso to play in the back, Juventus's pressing was so fierce that Manchester United wanted to organize the attack only through the midfield, and the Brazilian did a better job than "Little Fat".
But when it comes to organizing the offense, you can't take care of the defense.
On 77 minutes, Juventus launched a counter-attack after cutting off the ball at Rooney's feet, and Matri, who had previously received a yellow card for injuring Krisetigue, did it this time to make a difference, dribbling into the United penalty area on the left flank, and then crossed the ball in front of the United goal to the right, where Dutch winger Elia slapped the ball and pushed the ball into the empty goal with his right foot......
3:2!
Juventus are finally ahead again!
And Manchester United really can't do anything at this time, if you take care of the offense, you can't take care of the defense, Simon? Grayson weighed it up and sent Wayne Rooney to play in the back, and he was ready to accept the defeat, which would have been a good result if the team had two away goals and only one defeat.
On the Juventus side, Conte didn't dare to let his team press hard, it would be good to win this game, and if he was attacked by the opponent again, he would regret it if the duck flew to his beak.
Furthermore, pressing up and attacking, that is obviously not what Juventus is good at, after all, it is an Italian team, and they are better at defending and counterattacking.
With both managers accepting the result, the two teams did not have much passion on the pitch, and after both sides spent the remaining game time, Manchester United, who had scored three goals, could only leave the Juventus Stadium with a defeat.
I really want to write more, but my body doesn't allow it, so please allow the fat man to owe the debt, alas...... It's owed, but it's not bad. (To be continued......)
