Chapter 1074: Complete Victory in 2 Rounds
In the 62nd minute of the second half, Manchester United once again expanded its lead.
This time it was an exquisite frontcourt cooperation. Under the pull of Sane and Mbappe, Juventus' defense was riddled with holes.
When Lingard was in possession of the ball, he did not pass the ball to the two wingers as before, but suddenly made a pass and handed the ball to Ali in the penalty area!
"Bentancur stretched out his foot to steal Lingard! Lingard pulled the ball past him and suddenly picked up the ball!"
"Ali retreated to get the ball in the penalty area, and Chiellini rushed to grab it!"
"Ali volleyed and the ball went in!"
"Manchester United has once again expanded its lead. The passing and running cooperation between the two English teenagers is simply wonderful!"
"3-0! Manchester United once again scored a 3-0 score!"
After Ali scored, Kim Tiger made another substitution adjustment. He replaced his favorite player Mbappe, let the Frenchman have a good rest, and then replaced his compatriot, the same talented player Martial.
In recent times, Martial has had fewer and fewer opportunities at Manchester United. After Lewandowski was injured, Mbappé quickly took over and became one of the starting three forwards; and after Salah was injured, Kim Tiger immediately replaced Salah. He was promoted internally to temporarily fill Salah's vacancy. In the competition between Martial and Ali, he also fell behind.
It’s not that Martial’s talent is worse than others. On the contrary, Martial’s talent is also top-notch. He was also the winner of the 2015 European Golden Boy Award.
But compared with Sane and Ali, Martial's running distance is too little. He likes to wait for the ball, and after receiving the ball, he also likes to dribble personally. Although not as exaggerated as Anderson, his role in the offense is still not as good as others. Kim Tiger repeatedly asked him to run more aggressively, but to no avail.
There are already rumors that Martial may leave Manchester United next season and return to Ligue 1. As for the truth, perhaps only Martial himself knows.
There are now more than 20 minutes left in the game, and the offense of both teams is weaker. At the request of Kim Tiger, Manchester United began to reserve their strength appropriately to deal with the next game. Although Manchester United won the league championship, the upcoming FA Cup is also a game that Kim Tiger pays great attention to.
On the Juventus side, apart from a few offensive players, many players were also discouraged. With 20 minutes left, they have to score 6 more goals to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
But is it possible?
Both Manchester United players and Juventus players have the answer in their hearts.
In the final period of the game, the two sides played a bit flat. On Manchester United's side, the new young players are still looking for the possibility of scoring goals. They want to seize the only opportunity to play in the Champions League and strive for a better performance.
Among Juventus, the best player so far is Dybala. He was always looking for opportunities in the frontcourt, and even if they didn't appear, he still didn't give up.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Dybala's low shot from outside the penalty area was fast and angled, past De Gea's save, and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal. But the ball hit the goal post without any bias and bounced off the baseline. Juventus missed the closest chance to score.
Dybala squatted on the ground holding his head.
He looked very upset.
Behind the Manchester United goal, the Red Devils fans generously applauded Dybala and expressed their appreciation for his wonderful attack just now.
Dybala looked at the Manchester United fans in the distance and couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
Because Manchester United is now winning, the Manchester United fans can applaud me so freely and generously. If Manchester United is behind, will they boo me?
Next to Dybala, Kanter pulled him up. The Frenchman looked at him with complicated eyes, said nothing, and ran straight back to his position.
If I had not left Manchester United now, would I have been in the starting position and fight for three consecutive seven-time crowns with everyone?
These questions made Dybala himself very confused. He could not find the answer, or in other words, even if there was an answer, he was unwilling to accept it.
In the final stage of the game, the two teams made no further achievements, and the final score was fixed at 3-0.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, all the Manchester United fans cheered excitedly, celebrating that their team had once again reached the semi-finals of the Champions League!
However, Jin Taige and the players behaved very calmly. For them, entering the semi-finals of the Champions League is routine and nothing at all. This is all expected.
As Alonso walked down, he muttered: "Two 3-0, it is too easy to beat Juventus. I really want to meet a team of Huang Saren's level earlier."
Kim Tiger, who was waiting on the sidelines, hugged his players one by one and was satisfied with his players' performance.
Compared with the Manchester United general, the Juventus general also performed very calmly. For them, they lost the two games against Manchester United without any temper. Manchester United received no help from the referee, no flagrant fouls, and no controversial penalties. They used their dominant strength to overwhelm Juventus. In the end, not only did they concede 6 goals in a row, they also failed to score a single goal.
Allegri on the sidelines also looked confused. He looked at his players walking past, expressionless and speechless.
When Dybala was about to walk into the tunnel, he looked back at Kim Tiger and saw Kim Tiger smiling and hugging the players.
Dybala felt a little bitter.
He hesitated for a moment and was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, above the player tunnel, a fan called Dybala through the guardrail: "Dybala, I am your fan, please sign my name!"
Although he lost the game, Dybala still stopped and prepared to give the fan an autograph.
At this time, through the gap in the guardrail, the fans gave Dybala two things: a thick pen and a jersey.
When Dybala saw the fans, he suddenly froze.
Is it a Manchester United jersey?
Dybala raised his head and looked at the fan carefully. This little boy looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with a childlike look on his face.
He looked at Dybala expectantly: "Dybala, I am your fan. From the first day you joined Manchester United, I have liked you very much! You will definitely become the best star in the world and the No. 1 player in the world. Two Messi’s!”
Dybala didn't reply. He signed his name on the jersey, then turned and left.
Under the sun, the Manchester United No. 9 jersey in the hands of young fans shines brightly. There are two names "Dybala" on it, one is printed on the jersey, and the other is just signed by Dybala. The two names have the same text. But it separated two different eras of Dybala...
