Now 30 minutes have passed and the score is still 0-0.

However, there has been a lot of change on the sidelines.

In the opening stages, United took the lead and stormed Inter Milan, putting Antonio Conte's side at a disadvantage.

In the 18th minute of the game, Conte made tactical adjustments and boldly pressed, especially using the wing to attack, grasping the gap behind the Manchester United winger, which caused a lot of trouble to Manchester United.

In this way, Manchester United is temporarily at a disadvantage.

Now, the two sides are back in a stalemate.

Manchester United began to shrink a little bit to maintain a balance between attack and defence.

Inter Milan also kept three lines away and continued to press on the flanks.

Soon, they reaped the results.

In the 38th minute of the game, Inter Milan launched an attack on the left side.

This time it was a quick push from left-back Bastoni.

The 21-year-old young defender is a supernova recruited by Inter Milan at a high price.

He came through the Atalanta Academy and joined Inter Milan in 2017.

The transfer fee at the time amounted to a staggering 31.1 million euros.

You know, he was only 18 years old at the time, and he hadn't even played a couple of Serie A games.

In such a situation, he can still have such a value, which can only be attributed to his outstanding talent and potential.

And as it turned out, he really deserved the price.

Two seasons later, he returned to Atalanta on loan from Inter Milan and then to Parma, where he worked on experience in Serie A.

Back at Inter again, he has undergone a huge metamorphosis.

Not only is the body stronger, but the technical level has also been greatly improved.

In the central defender position, strong pressing, excellent headers, and accurate tackles have become his signature.

Not only that, but he also often assisted the attack on the left flank, boldly cutting forward.

This gives Inter Milan a lot more tactical richness.

And such technical characteristics are also the type that Conte likes very much.

In this game, there is Bastoni in the back and Ashley Young in front, and two players who can attack and defend well, and Inter Milan's left side is quite sharp in attack and defense.

This time, Bastoni received a pass from the middle, and instead of passing the ball out again, he suddenly accelerated and sprinted with the ball!

Go down the road on the left!

James, who was closest to him, made a quick grab!

But Bastoni went straight to his defense!

Than speed, maybe James is stronger, but stronger than physically, he is not as good as Bastoni!

Rushed through the halftime line, B Fei quickly filled the position to assist the defense!

Bastoni made a feint and did not cheat B Fei.

Pulling the side again, B Fei also followed closely.

Simply, pass the ball!

This kick is very accurate, look for Ashley Young in front!

Ashley Young had just been running non-stop, looking for an opportunity to respond.

At this moment, seeing the marking of B Fei and the assistance of his teammates in the middle, he simply ran forward, looking for an opportunity to tear through Manchester United's wide defense!

He's got it!

Bastoni passes the ball!

Ashley Young catches the ball!

Meanwhile, Manchester United's right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has arrived!

Grab quickly and never let Ashley Young have a chance to continue attacking!

But this time, Ashley Young didn't plan to dribble!

Because the teammates in the middle have already run into place!

Pass the ball with your feet!

45 degrees diagonal cross!

The location of Lautaro in front of the point is good!

He sprints fast!

Rojo is on the sidelines!

Lautaro suddenly runs sideways to the middle!

It's obvious that he's on the high side of the ball, and he doesn't feel like he's able to get to the front point!

But with Maguire's defense in the middle, he was directly squeezed away!

But it was because of this collision that Manchester United had a defensive hole!

Rojo was pinned down by Lautaro, and Maguire was hit by Lautaro again, a little out of position.

At this time, Lukaku sprinted quickly and headed the ball to the top!

The position at the top of the ball is superb!

And it's so close that De Gea doesn't have any chance to react at all!

He reflexively waved his arm, but it was useless.

The ball slammed into the top right corner of the goal!

"The ball is in!

"1 to 0!

"Inter scored first!

"I thought Manchester United couldn't do it at the beginning.

"Although the attack looks fierce, it doesn't have much effect.

"The strikers are too young and inexperienced!

"Look at Inter Milan, what a wonderful combination!

"Two wide players broke through the United defence!

"The pass is accurate, and the two strikers are even more cooperative!

'Ashley Young's assist, Lukaku's goal!

"Wonderful!

"Speaking of which, these two players were abandoned by Manchester United.

"Now they're coming back and they're going to score!

"A pair of former 'red partners' teamed up to break through the old owner's goal!

"It's a big joke if Manchester United loses the title because of it!

"Huh!"

Carragher's sarcasm was palpable, and he was now an Inter Milan fan.

Alan Shearer on the side also shook his head gently: "Manchester United is really in trouble, they still didn't open the scoring when they attacked more and scored more goals, and the opponent scored first, it's a pity." The first half was almost over and then they were not going to play. ”

That's true, it's not good to play next.

There were five minutes left before the end of the first half.

If you go back to the dressing room with the score behind, this halftime will be difficult, and the tactical set-up of the second half will be more troublesome.

Attacking or defending, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under a lot of pressure.

So the Reds had to equalise as soon as possible, preferably with a draw to end the first half.

The game resumed, and Manchester United did not go alone.

In a break down the right flank, James collided with Godin and fell to the ground.

After being examined by the team doctor, he suffered an ankle injury and could not continue the examination, so he had to be substituted.

The Manchester United coaching staff on the pitch is even more busy.

The Manchester United players who had just finished their warm-up were watched by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the moment.

In the end, he chose Odhalo.

In the current situation, adding a center forward and making the tactics a little more varied might work.

James retired from injury, Odion Ighalo stepped on to the centre position, and Mason Greenwood moved to the right to the position where James had just been.

The team still maintains the offensive posture of the trident.

Now it's a free-kick for Manchester United.

It was just a foul on Godin.

Xia Xing stood in front of the goal, looking at the direction of the penalty area, thinking about how to deal with it.

This angle is too small to shoot at the goal, even if it is Xia Xing, it does not have to be hard.

Or is it better to pass the ball.

But to whom it is passed on, this must be considered.

At this time, Nemanja Matic and B Fee both went up, Maguire also rushed into the penalty area, and the forward trident was naturally waiting for an opportunity in the penalty area.

Xia Xing slowly retreated, looking at his teammates running in the penalty area.

He made a gesture.

The teammates in the box were stunned.

What's the situation?

Are you sure you want to play this way?

Will it work? (End of chapter)
