Chapter 1,058: What’s Going On!

"The halftime break is over and the second half is about to begin!"

"Both players are back on the court, waiting for the whistle to start the second half!"

"At halftime, Manchester United did not make any substitution adjustments, but Juventus made some changes. Allegri replaced Barzagli and Matuidi, and replaced Cuadrado and Khedira. The team also changed from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3. Two offensive players replaced two defensive players. Allegri's plan in the second half was very clear, which was to score as soon as possible!"

"The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!"

"Juventus took the lead in the second half. They increased the number and intensity of their attacks in the midfield and gained a certain advantage in the midfield."

"Manchester United's three midfielders have temporarily joined the defensive team to protect the midfield defense."

"Cuadrado ran wildly along the right wing with the ball and he got tangled up with Alonso!"

"Cuadrado's pass! Dybala transitioned into the center! Mandzukic's volley! The ball hit the post! Juventus almost got a goal back!"

Allegri on the sidelines stamped his foot hard! what a shame!

If we can get a goal back at the beginning, then the rest of the game will be easy to play!

But it’s good to be able to take advantage of the situation right from the start.

For the next period of time, Juventus continued to put pressure on Manchester United's goal. At some point, even Salah and Mbappe retreated to the midfield to participate in the defense. Kanter even retreated to the penalty area to help Van Dijk organize the defense.

Seeing this situation, Fei Lan was a little worried: "Tiger, if we are beaten by our opponents like this, will there be no problem?"

Kim Tiger looked at the court calmly: "Juventus' defense is so good that many people will selectively ignore their offense. Juventus' current offensive trident is also the top in the world. Higuain, Dybala and Manchester United Zhukic, these three people all have strong finishing ability; and Juventus' midfield offensive combination is also top-notch, capable of passing and controlling, and is very sharp. Now they are gradually returning to their own rhythm with the help of their home court. It seems that in the second half The game was not easy to play.”

Scholes agreed: "Yes, it is true. But our defense is also very good, and it is extremely difficult for Juventus to break through."

Kim Tiger looked at the defense line led by Van Dijk, and he was full of confidence: "Van Dijk can definitely prevent Juventus' offense. After their several rounds of offensive misfires, our offense will gradually recover, one will wax and wane. We are already two goals ahead in this game and the game is under our control.”

In the following period, just as Jin Taige said, although Juventus attacked fiercely, it was unable to open up the situation. In this game, Dybala was tightly guarded by Manchester United defenders who were familiar with him and did nothing; Higuain was also pinched to death by Kimmich due to his weak ball play, and there was no threat; Mandzukic performed the best , the threat to Manchester United is not small, but Van Dijk's marking and Koulibaly's attack cut off the Croatian's receiving route, leaving him isolated and helpless. Coupled with Kanter's large-scale defense, Juventus' midfield offense was frequently disrupted and did nothing.

At this time, the game has reached the 72nd minute, and the score still remains at 2-0.

Allegri was a little anxious. He replaced Pjanic, whose physical strength was declining, with Bentancur and continued to strengthen the attack. As of now, Juventus has used up all substitutions.

On Manchester United's side, Kim Tiger has also made personnel adjustments. In order to strengthen the defense in the midfield, he replaced Cross with Nainggolan, allowing him and Kanter to form a double midfielder to firmly defend the defense.

As a result, Manchester United's defense is even more watertight.

Nainggolan's appearance not only strengthened Manchester United's defense, but also opened up a new situation for Manchester United's offense.

In the 76th minute of the game, shortly after Nainggolan came on the field, he used a counterattack opportunity to go straight to Huanglong, violently volleyed from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball went straight to the goal!

"Nainggolan resisted Cuadrado with his body! The Belgian is too strong!"

"Nainggolan rushed to the edge of the penalty area! Juventus' three defenders seemed stretched at the moment! Nainggolan took a long shot! The ball went straight to the dead corner!"

"Buffon fought hard to save,

Blocked the ball with your fingertips! The old Italian goalkeeper is still solid! "

"But the ball is still in the penalty area! Salah sprints quickly and is ready to shoot!"

"The Egyptian kicked off... Oh, he was pulled down from behind by Lichtsteiner! Salah fell sideways to the ground, and Buffon attacked and hugged the ball!"

"When Salah landed just now, he seemed to have twisted his shoulder. He fell to the ground with a very painful expression!"

"The referee stopped the game! The Manchester United medical team rushed to the pitch!"

At this time, all the Manchester United players on the field are done!

Griezmann rushed to the referee: "Salah was pulled down from behind! This is definitely a penalty kick and a red card!"

Nainggolan ran towards Lichtsteiner angrily and pushed his opponent away!

Other Manchester United players also rushed forward and asked Juventus players for explanations!

Buffon, on the other hand, rushed to the front and stood between the players of the two teams to avoid a bigger conflict!

Not only did the players on the field refuse, but even the Manchester United coaching staff on the sidelines was very angry.

Ferran rushed to the fourth official and shouted: "Lichtsteiner pulled Salah down in the first half, and now he does it again! This is definitely a penalty plus a red card! And our people are still injured!"

Scholes also expressed his dissatisfaction to the fourth official.

At this time, Adolf had already brought Salah down. He had just conducted a simple check on Salah, and now he was carefully groping Salah's shoulder on the sidelines to check the injury.

Soon Adolf raised his head, looked at Jin Taige, and then shook his head with a heavy face: "I'm not sure how serious the injury is yet, but it's certain that Muhammad won't be able to play in this game..."

"What's going on!" Jin Taige squatted on the ground and beat the ground hard in anger!

Now Lewandowski is still recovering from his injury, and Salah is injured again! Manchester United has lost two strikers in a row!

Jin Taige comforted Salah a few words and asked him to recover from his injury, and then hurriedly shouted to the bench: "Sane, warm up now and get ready to play!"

The game is not over yet. Kim Tiger still needs impactful strikers to continue to threaten Juventus' defense.

Watching Adolf carry Salah away, only then did Jintiger have time to look up at the situation on the court. At this time, players from both sides were still surrounding the referee, expressing their different emotions.

However, Jin Taige knew very well: there is absolutely no problem with the penalty plus the red card!
