Chapter 108 and the "Old Woman"?

Antonio Conte has been in charge of Juventus for almost five years and he has shown great control in this position, which Juventus have regained dominance throughout Serie A under his tutelage.

Although with the decline of Milan, Juventus has become the king of Serie A again without much challenge after returning to Serie A, at most only Roma jumped out to stir up the situation, Napoli and Fiorentina are just emerging forces and cannot fundamentally threaten Juventus' position, but Conte can lead the team to show dominance of Serie A, and it is not easy to do this.

In the game with Manchester United, Conte still discharged the 4-2-4 deformation formation he is good at, his tactical formation has been frequently used since he debuted as a football coach ten years ago, but this representative formation of attacking football was used by Conte on Juventus, but there has been a very huge change, on the "old lady" staggering body, 4-2-4 was played by them into a balanced offensive and defensive football, Juventus, who used to be inconspicuous but always able to get good results, has also reappeared.

On the front line, Juventus excluded the combination of Matri and Vucinic, and in the two winger positions, Giovinco and Giaccherini were played, and the two midfielders were played by Brazilian veteran Melo and Chilean midfielder Vidal, and the back line was still led by captain Cherini, although Colxia, Matojo, and Bonucci were not big names, but their strength was not weak at all, plus Buffon's successor, the Italian international Viviano, Juventus's defense was still very solid.

The lineup on Manchester United's side is relatively easy to guess, Shaq, Bale, Nani, Ganso, Rooney, Krisetigue, Jose? Angel, Van der Wiel, Papadopoulos and goalkeeper David De Gea, as well as Simon? Grayson replayed Subotic in the starting line-up in order to gain experience. This squad is basically the strongest squad for Manchester United, and it is normal to be in the Juventus stadium.

The Juventus Stadium was originally located in Del? Juventus signed a 99-year lease contract with the Municipality of Turin, after which 110 million euros were invested in the renovation, and then ...... When the Juventus Stadium, which represents the reform of Italian football, was put into use, Juventus rose again!

In the away team's dressing room at the Juventus Stadium. Simon? Grayson reiterated to his team before the game: "Juventus were one of the many big teams in European football, they won the Champions League twice and they are still one of the strongest teams! Steady, slow, that's the style of this team, we all play fast-paced football at Manchester United and this time the pace of the opponent is completely opposite to ours, it will be a big test for us and I hope you can be prepared for the tough game...... Maybe it will be unexpected. ”

Simon? Grayson was already aware of the game against Juventus. The "Red Devils" may have to be restrained by the "Old Lady" in terms of style, and the final outcome may depend on who has more control over the pace of the game.

But even so, "Brutal Simon" still didn't expect the difficulty of the game...... Far more than he expected!

From the very beginning of the game, Juventus used their ferocious pressing to disrupt United's possession, and these unscrupulous players were very active on the pitch, even if it was impossible to get the ball on many occasions. And once Juventus get the ball, they will immediately slow down the tempo. Even if you pass the ball back with one kick, the speed of the ball will give you a sense of slowness.

This is the first time Manchester United has encountered such an opponent, Juventus's "slowness" makes them very uncomfortable, and they are a little embarrassed on the field because of the opponent's almost unreasonable pressing.

But ...... "old woman" is indeed slow and trembling, but the moment the opportunity for a fatal blow appears. Juventus' players are not slow!

Seven minutes into the game, Juventus threw a throw-in in front of the left side, captain Cherini's arm strength was amazing, and he threw the ball vigorously with both hands after running, and threw the ball directly into the big penalty area of Manchester United!

A figure in a black and white sword-striped shirt ran diagonally up from the middle. The moment the ball fell, the left leg slammed it towards the United goal.

The person who completed this shot was Juventus' central defender Matoho, his shooting footwork was very irregular, but the luck was really good, the ball was in front of the goal, it was blocked by right-back Van de Wiel with his left leg, but because of the rapid rotation of the ball itself, it bounced and flew into the Manchester United goal!

Yes!?

Manchester United's players were stunned, they couldn't believe their eyes, the ball was ...... It's in!?

German referee Manuel whistled and pointed to the middle circle...... The goal works!

In the Juventus stadium, the Italians were cheering wildly, and it was really pleasant to see Juventus leading Manchester United at home!

Before the game, the European media were unanimously optimistic that the "Red Devils" could win away from home, after all, they have an all-star team, the overall strength of the team is very strong, and there is a world number one star Shaq who has scored 137 goals in 43 games this season, even in away games they are more likely to win.

Which Cheng thought, only 7 minutes into the game, Juventus, who was fighting at home, was ahead!

After conceding the goal, Manchester United began a crazy counterattack, and they were not without being led by the opponent, but it was really ...... to let the opponent score so aggrieved Angry!

While Manchester United were trying to speed up the tempo of the game, the "Old Lady" was trying to slow down the pace of the game as much as possible, and once they got the ball, even if they gave up the opportunity to attack, they would stabilize the tempo of the game.

And when defending, the Juventus players are very fierce with their feet, and there are many small movements in their hands, Shaq will basically be put down by the opponent once in five minutes under the opponent's constant fouls, and the Juventus players are not just with their feet.

With 23 minutes played, United had a chance to play on the counter-attack. Angel sent the ball forward with a long ball from the left back, and Shaq was interfered with by Matojo when he stopped the ball on his chest, only to stop the ball directly into the Juventus penalty area, where Viviano immediately held onto the ball.

"Tom!"

Viviano immediately kicked the ball in front with a big kick, and Vucinic and Subotic were smart when they were fighting for the top, and the 32-year-old is very experienced!

Vucinic did not try to control the ball, but directly made a "stepping stone", and after the ball was lifted again, the ball naturally fell into the Manchester United penalty area.

At this point, Matri ran up diagonally from the left, and when he got to the ball, a leg in black socks came out from behind and poked the ball out before Vucinic...... Papadopoulos!

The pace of the Greek centre-back allowed him to defend in time!

Moreover, after Papadopoulos poked the ball away, he also took advantage of Vucinić's left foot to trip the Montenegrin striker, and the Greeks should have completed a very good defense.

But...... Papadopoulos stabbed the ball, but there was no good coordination between him and De Gea, and the ball rolled over a metre to the left of De Gea!

When De Gea reflexively went to chase the ball again, the Spaniard ran back with his life, but still couldn't catch the ball in front of the goal line, and the goal was ...... Rolled into the goal close to the bones!

"Wow――――――"

There was silence in the Juventus stadium at first, and then suddenly burst into laughter and shouts, and the Juventus fans had no hope, Matri's goals were broken, but there was such a thing as an own goal...... It just appeared!

"Holy! Shit! ”

"Shit!"

"Hell yes!"

Manchester United's side up to manager Simon? Grayson, the old goalkeeper who went down to the bench Robert? Green, everyone invariably burst out foul language, and the only 2,000 Manchester United fans who came with the team were also dumbfounded, and the own goal was ...... And it's Papadopoulos's own goal, how could it appear in the first round of the Champions League knockout round!?

This...... That's incredible, isn't it!?

Papadopoulos didn't get up, but sat on the lawn with a wry smile and tugged at the sock net, and then moved the position of the guard in the sock until Rooney came and pulled him up.

At this time, everyone on the Manchester United side felt that today's game was ...... What a fucking fuck!

0：2！

It's only been 23 minutes and Manchester United are two goals down on the road...... Since Simon? Grayson and Shaq have come to Manchester United, and it hasn't happened in the past two years!

And Juventus's first goal, Van de Wiel, obviously had already touched the ball, but the ball bounced into the goal, and now Papadopoulos actually made an own goal in order to intercept Vucinic, the Greek is the best central defender in Manchester United, this kind of thing can still happen, isn't it hell what's wrong!?

Shaq has a feeling of crying and laughing at the front of his team, what is going on with his team today, this bad luck has fallen to grandma's house!

Simon? Grayson couldn't sit still for a long time, and he went to the sidelines to start conveying the latest tactical instructions to his team: stop trying to attack, calm down now, and stabilize the situation before talking.

The "Red Devils" want to compete with the "Old Lady" Juventus, which is really a helpless choice, Simon? Grayson really didn't have a good idea right now, he was only 23 minutes behind in the first 23 minutes, and if he conceded another goal in the first half, it would be a real defeat!
