Chapter 111: Let's play something simple and rude!

When Conte arrived in Manchester with Juventus, the Italians were surrounded by journalists from all over Europe at the airport, and the reporters who had already smelled the failure of the "Red Devils" flew up like flies.

After entering the knockout round of the Champions League, the "Red Devils" who swept Europe were defeated by the "Old Lady" at home in the first leg, which is big news in itself, and even countless people think that an Italian team like Juventus pursues the overall tactical coordination of the team...... It's going to fall on these teams in the end.

"Brutal Simon" said early on that Manchester United will encounter more difficulties this season than the previous season, because they will be the enemy of the world, just like the original "Cosmos Team" Barcelona, the teams of all England and even all of Europe will go all out when playing against Manchester United, and the players will be very energetic when playing against Manchester United, because they will not have any psychological burden, and there is no loss of face in losing to the best team in the world, if you win...... Fight to fame!

Manchester United frequently appears in the transfer market, this is also because all teams don't want to watch the "Red Devils" sit big, you want to buy no problem, just pay more money out, anyway, you Manchester United is the best team, and winning the Champions League is hundreds of millions of income, it's really normal to bite you.

If it weren't for that, United wouldn't have spent so much on players like Rivero, Krissettigue, and Flanagan, who are not too well-known.

Now seeing the hope that the "Red Devils" may be eliminated by the "Old Lady", why don't the reporters muster up enough energy to blow Juventus and give the Italians momentum!?

The Italian himself was very low-key, with Conte telling reporters: "We did win the first leg but let's not forget that United scored three of the five goals. They were just unlucky to lose the game and with United having two away goals at the moment, they would have been able to qualify if they beat us at home because of our style of play and it's very, very difficult for us to score two goals at Old Trafford! ”

in the space of two weeks. Conte has actually warned his players again and again, so that his players can recognize the facts on the premise of keeping a clear head, Manchester United is indeed stronger than Juventus, and it is not a star and a half, although Juventus won the first leg, but in fact they have no advantage, and even have the upper hand, they must retreat at Old Trafford to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals, and Manchester United only needs to win the game. Even if you only win one goal, you can qualify, such a matchup situation...... What's in it for Juventus!?

Those media ...... It's just a bunch of liars full of lies and grandstanding!

And Conte is actually facing a lot of difficulties this time, the last game against Krissettigue, and caused the Italian midfielder to have to rest for three months Matri was not brought, Conte has to think about whether Matri will completely anger Manchester United when playing away.

Manchester United's name as the "Red Devils............ It's not just the little pattern on the Manchester United shirt, it's also because of the team's passionate tactical play, perseverance and fighting style.

If Matri had appeared at Old Trafford, the United players might have been infected by the anger of the United fans, and they would have completely destroyed Juventus in a frenzied attack.

Got to Simon? Managers at the level of Grayson and Antonio Conte. Thinking about the problem is no longer just limited to the appearance of the formation, after all, they are all European giants. They still know each other very well about the strength of their opponents, and if they want to win the game, the manager has to think about the psychological battle between the two sides.

Conte carefully arranged everything, for fear of angering Manchester United and making the game more uncertain, and Simon? Grayson, on the other hand, is trying to motivate his team, "Brutal Simon" with the hope of Manchester United fans, the injury of Krissettig, the defeat at Juventus, and the honor of "Seven Crowns". Even excerpts from the media to criticize Manchester United, etc., can be said to have exhausted all means to arouse the fighting spirit of the players.

At 8 p.m. on March 8, the Old Trafford Stadium finally staged a crucial battle that could be related to the Champions League title this season.

Manchester United, the reigning champions of the Champions League this season, are still the favourites to win the title, even if Barcelona has made a strong recovery this season, Inter Milan has stepped up their investment, and Real Madrid, which has spent £50 million a year in the transfer market, they cannot compare with them.

Barcelona in the first leg against AC Milan. With a 5-1 win at home, it is basically a foregone conclusion that they will reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

The other Milan duo, Inter Milan, beat Jose Mourinho's Chelsea 5-0 at home to gain a huge advantage.

Real Madrid defeated the powerful Bayern Munich 3-1 at home in the first leg, and although the 31-year-old Ronaldo's goal efficiency is not as good as a year, his style of play has become less aggressive, and his rich experience has made him more able to make his teammates around him play the best combat effectiveness, and he is no longer as alone as before.

But no matter how strong these teams are, if they want to hit the Champions League trophy, they must look at Manchester United's record, when the "Red Devils" are eliminated, these teams that are interested in the Champions League trophy can breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise their hearts will always be hanging.

It is precisely because the result of this match between Manchester United and Juventus is so important that the second leg of the first round of the knockout round of the Champions League has become the most watched game in the Champions League this season, according to statistics, more than 120 million fans around the world will directly watch the live broadcast of this game, with a profile coverage of more than 300 million, and the importance of this game has even exceeded that of many Champions League finals in previous years.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United launched an onslaught from the start of the game in front of a crowd of 91,572......

The 3-2 defeat in the first leg at Juventus meant that United had to win at Old Trafford, and the earlier they scored, the better their chances of reaching the last eight.

But the "old lady" is not easy to match, Juventus, who has already made the most adequate preparations before the game, contracted very tightly after the start of the game, and the space between the three lines of the front, middle and back fields is very small, Manchester United's attack can't be scored, but Juventus's counterattack is very threatening.

In the 4th minute, Juventus instigated a counterattack from the right, and Giovinco, who rushed up from the left, completed the first shot of the game in the left penalty area of Manchester United, although the ball was saved by De Gea, but Juventus told the opponent with practical actions...... We Juventus are not easy to bully!

In the 7th minute, Shaq received a pass from Nani in front of the penalty area on the right side, and after being interfered with by Juventus captain Cherini, Viviano's right-footed volley was picked off the air by Viviano.

In the 9th minute, Shaq collided with Ganso, who rushed up with the ball, in front of the penalty area, and the Brazilian rushed into the Juventus penalty area, but his volley was missed.

In the 13th minute, Shaq received a pass from Rooney in the small penalty area on the left side of Juventus and smashed the ball into the opponent's goal with his left heel, but the goal was disallowed due to offside.

After more than ten minutes, Manchester United still held the initiative in the game, and the attacking frenzy was wave after wave, although the "old woman" trembled, but their defense just failed to let Manchester United score.

With 32 minutes played, Juventus captain Cherini threw a throw-in from the left and threw it directly into the United penalty area, and centre-back Mattoh headed the ball out of the box.

"Bang!"

A diminutive Juventus player rushed up and met the ball with a volley!

"Whoosh!"

The ball made a big arc in the air, spanning the entire Manchester United goal from left to right, and when it fell down, it coincidentally drilled into the top right corner of the Manchester United goal!

Ball............ The ball went in!?

Everyone thought it was incredible, even Giovinco, who kicked the ball into the Manchester United goal, was also stunned, he didn't expect the goal to be scored at all!

Turning his head, Giovinco was seeing the Spanish referee Carlos who was enforcing the law? Caballo pointed to the centre circle and raced up and down Old Trafford......

1:0, Juventus, who was playing away, actually took the lead!

At this moment, the hearts of Manchester United fans are in their throats, and manager Simon? Grayson couldn't be more calm, they originally thought that it would not be difficult to beat Juventus at home with Manchester United's strength, but Giovinco's goal gave Juventus a 4-2 aggregate lead!

Now, Manchester United will only be able to reach the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League if they score twice in a row and don't allow Juventus to score again!

Manchester United's stars were stunned by Juventus' goal, and they didn't know what to do now, starting with the idea that their team would score first, and then score a second goal on top of that to extend their advantage, so that even if Juventus scored an away goal, they would knock out their opponents and advance to the quarter-finals.

Can ...... now The situation for Manchester United has become more critical!

Right now...... What to do!?

The confusion in the minds of the United stars didn't last long, as the latest tactical instructions from the manager were passed on to the pitch before the game could restart...... In the next game, Manchester United gave up attacking in the middle and switched to attacking on the wings and crossing from the bottom!

When Manchester United was preparing for this game, they had already practiced several tactical routines, and also considered what they should do if they couldn't open up the situation on the field, and this seemingly simple and rough side cross play was actually the tactics they practiced to break the opponent's dense defense, maybe other teams use this tactic is not very ideal, but don't forget that Manchester United's center forward is...... Sark! (To be continued......)
