Chapter 136, Very Fierce

"Hello, audience friends, this is BT Sport, I'm your old friend Trike, and it's my old partner Nori who is explaining the game with me today."

"This game is the focus of the last round of the Champions League group stage. Manchester United played against Shakhtar Donetsk. I think everyone should know the current points situation of this group. The situation of qualifying is very complicated. With the current situation, we are ranked No. The second-placed Leverkusen should not have a problem winning Real Sociedad. In this case, they have locked a qualifying seat; and for the two sides of this game, if Manchester United can hold a tie at home, then they can also ensure that the group will appear. ; and if Shakhtar Donetsk wants to qualify, they must win this game. This is really a battle of life and death!"

At this time, Nori took over the words: "At the press conference before the game, Shakhtar Donetsk coach Lucescu made an impassioned speech. I like it very much. He said that his team is here today! If Shakhtar Donetsk comes to the game with a desperate attitude, Manchester United will face great pressure. I heard from inside sources that the minimum goals set by the Glazer family for Manchester United coach Kintegger this season are: The top 4 of the Premier League and the top 16 of the Champions League. If you don’t meet the standard, you will be dismissed directly! That is to say, if Manchester United loses this game, Kintag will be fired! So this game is of great significance to Kintag.”

Gentle and polite Trick said with a sigh: "The situation in this group is really too complicated. Manchester United has 3 wins and 2 draws in five Champions League games, with 11 points. If it is placed in other groups, it is almost a certain situation. But I didn't expect that they would have to fight until the last game to decide their own fate, this is really a magical group."

Nori shook his head: "If you want to talk about a magical group, it's not a big deal. Let's look at the situation in Group F. Arsenal currently ranks first in the group with 12 points, while Dortmund and Naples are ranked first in the group with 9 points. Second and third, Marseille lost all five games without scoring a point. Dortmund, Arsenal, and Naples may all appear or be eliminated in this game, and Group F is even crazier."

Trik and Norrie chatted about the situation of this season's Champions League, and then introduced the starting lineup to the TV audience. They focused on Shakhtar Donetsk's players.

"What is worth mentioning in this game is that in Shakhtar Donetsk's starting list, except for the defensive midfielder Stepanenko in the middle, the five attacking players that Shakhtar Donetsk went to are all Brazilians."

"Apart from their star players Teixeira and Douglas Costa, Tyson on the left is a very fast player; and Luis Adriano in the center position is also very impactful, there is a source Said that AC Milan is already watching this player, maybe in the near future, he will be able to play in Serie A."

"And in the right midfield position, young Fred appeared in this position. He was transferred from Brazil international this summer and cost Shakhtar Donetsk a full 15 million euros. But he Excellent passing and running ability are definitely worth the money, you know, he is just 20 years old this year, a new star is rising."

The two introduced the relevant matters of the game, and soon, with the referee's whistle, the game began.

"As soon as the game started, Shakhtar Donetsk launched a fierce attack. They played a 4-3-3 formation in this game. Their coach Lucescu made it clear before the game that they came to Desperate, they just want to win. So in the opening stage, Shakhtar Donetsk attacked very hard."

"Now Tyson is in control of the ball. He passed a Manchester United player and dribbled the ball along the wing towards the baseline! He was so fast that no one could keep up with him. Martial was struggling to catch up, but The distance is too far, and there is nothing he can do."

"Tyson passed the ball to Adriano in the middle, and Adriano hit the goal directly!"

"De Gea saved the ball! Manchester United escaped!"

"This time the miners' attack is coming again! Costa got the ball,

He passed Mahrez very easily! Cut inside! Hand it over to Teixeira at the far end! Teixeira kicked the door! A little higher! "

"Only ten minutes into the game, Shakhtar Donetsk had a very threatening goal with two kicks, but Manchester United did not have any decent offense. It seems that this game is very difficult for Manchester United!"

Only ten minutes into the game, Jin Taige couldn't sit still on the coach's bench. He stood on the sidelines, anxiously watching the situation on the field, and loudly reminded the players to pay attention to maintaining the defensive formation and not to lose their positions.

Fei Lan cursed in a low voice beside Jin Taige: "SH*T, these guys really came here today to fight with all their might! They attacked so fiercely!"

Jin Taige was very anxious. He frowned and said: "As long as we can withstand the onslaught during the opening period, after the enemy's continuous attack fails, the momentum will be weak, and then it will be time for us to score a goal." gone."

But Scholes on the side was beating drums in his heart. He thought to himself: Can this Manchester United team really withstand Shakhtar Donetsk's opening onslaught?

"This time it was Costa's pass, Adriano's header! It hit the crossbar! Manchester United escaped! Shakhtar Donetsk players were very disappointed. They thought it was a goal."

"Now it's Manchester United's counterattack, Giggs in the middle with the ball forward! He passed Stepanenko! The ball went to the left!"

"Mahrez received the ball! He passed the ball to Rooney in front of the penalty area! Rooney's shot! The shot was so right! The ball was tightly hugged by Shakhtar goalkeeper Pyatov."

"Manchester United's players didn't seem to be in good shape in this game. Rooney's shot just now was really substandard. The ball was weak and had no angle. It wasted a good opportunity for Manchester United."

The Manchester United players were indeed in poor form in this game.

Many of them heard the gossip before the game, saying that if they lose this game, not only Manchester United will be eliminated, but Kintag will also lose his coaching position.

After six months of contact, most of the players respect Kintag very much. Although Kintag is young, he is very experienced in his understanding of football and the arrangement of techniques and tactics; the most valuable thing is that he speaks frankly and has a cheerful personality. , Whether in training or in life, they are very popular with everyone. Therefore, the players were not in good condition today. They were always worried about losing the ball and losing the game, which eventually led to Kintag's resignation, so this game was played a little timidly.

And if they play the game in this state, can they really guarantee not to concede the ball...
