Chapter Seven Hundred and Sixty Second, the Outcome Is Determined
In the visiting team's locker room, Kintag made the same request as Allegri.
"Alonso, Kimmich, in the second half, the two of you should strengthen your support to the midfield and help the team attack."
"Kanter, your task will be heavier in the second half of the game. Your defensive area must be further expanded. When appropriate, you must also protect the two sides."
"Van Dijk, Coulibaly, you also have to strengthen the marking of Higuain and Dybala, try to put their shots outside the penalty area, and don't give De Gea too many opportunities to play. If this De Gea became the best player in the game, so I must share the prize money between the two of you to De Gea."
The Manchester United players roared with laughter. Everyone knows that Kintag would not do this, he was just talking, but if De Gea really got the best player in this game, it would be a failure of Manchester United's defense.
Hearing Jin Taige's request, the field captain Van Dyke stood up first: "Boss, don't worry, we will definitely strengthen our defense in the second half and will not give the opponent a chance!"
The second half of the game started soon.
Just two minutes into the game, Dybala volleyed vigorously from the outside of Manchester United's penalty area and almost broke Manchester United's goal. If it weren't for De Gea's wonderful save, then Manchester United would have taken the lead at the beginning.
Manchester United's defense was also taken aback: De Gea won't really get the best of the game in this game...
Next came a Juventus corner, Pjanic's pass found Chiellini in the center of the box, and Chiellini headed home!
The ball hit the lintel of the goal and bounced off the baseline.
Just at the beginning of the second half, Juventus gave Manchester United a blow.
However, Jin Taige, who is off the court, still sits firmly on the coach's seat and pays close attention to the situation on the court.
As time went by, Manchester United's offense gradually came out.
"United's attacking up! Assisted by Alonso, dribbled the ball past half-time! Riyadh Mahrez runs inside to free up space on the left! Alves tackles! Alonso crosses the ball to Germany. Browne!"
"De Bruyne dribbled the ball forward! Came to the edge of the penalty area! Bonucci pressed out! De Bruyne passed the ball to Lewandowski!"
"Lewandowski with his back against Chiellini and a cross to the right!"
"Griezmann went around in front of Barzagli, kicked suddenly! The ball went in!!!"
"In the first 15 minutes or so of the second half, Manchester United scored a precious goal! The goal was a wonderful cooperation from the whole team of Manchester United, Alonso's sudden insertion, De Bruyne's push and goal, Lewandowski. The cover, Griezmann's calm shot, this series of fast attacks, played the biggest characteristic of Manchester United this season!"
"1 to 0! Manchester United took the lead!"
"Now that the game has reached 60 minutes, it will be difficult for Juventus to play next."
Jin Taige on the sidelines is in a good mood! He waved his arms fiercely, then returned to the coach's bench, crossing his legs, looking very leisurely.
"As long as we continue to play according to this routine, the game will be stable."
At this time, Allegri couldn't sit still next to the coach's bench of the home team. Although he is known for his calmness and stability, but this game is now behind, he must make some changes. He is ready to replace the substitute striker Zaza. However, this substitution was only a counterpoint adjustment, and did not change the formation.
In this game, Dybala got chances in a row. Although Higuain performed well, there is a gap between Dybala and Dybala. Allegri replaced Higuain with Zaza.
Kintiger on the sidelines saw Allegri's substitution, and he smiled: "This is really in line with Allegri's coaching style-steady, too steady. If it were me, I should remove some of them at this time." A central defender, put on a striker, let the team play three forwards, and strive for more chances to score goals."
Scholes thought for a while: "If this is the case, then Juventus may lose the ball due to unstable defense. Allegri should consider this matter."
Jin Taige smiled coldly: "The score is already behind,
Without some adventurous spirit, can the game still be won? This is the biggest gap between Allegri and top coaches like Guardiola, Mourinho and Zidane! "
After Juventus replaced Zaza, their frontcourt offense has not changed much, and they still maintain the previous situation.
But maybe it's because of the home field advantage, or maybe it's because of luck. Juventus then had an excellent opportunity.
In front of Manchester United's penalty area, Zaza dribbled the ball into the penalty area. He crossed to the goal, but the ball changed direction after it bounced off the ground. The ball hit his knee and bounced into the United goal.
1 to 1! Manchester United equalized the score!
Looking at the Juventus players celebrating, the Manchester United players on the field were very depressed, especially Alonso, who kicked the turf angrily.
What bad luck!
At this time Van Dijk came to his side: "Marcos, you are not to blame for this ball, don't blame yourself."
De Gea also persuaded: "The ball bounced and changed direction. This is an unexpected accident. Don't take it to heart."
For the next period of time, the two sides had mutual offense and defense, but neither was able to open the opponent's goal.
In the final stage of the game, Juventus replaced two physically weak players to maintain the balance of the team; while Kintag made adjustments. He replaced Mahrez and Mahrez with Fekir and Salah. Lewandowski, then let Griezmann go to the middle. In this way, the three players on Manchester United's front line are all players with excellent ball control.
In the next period of time, these three players all relied on their outstanding personal abilities to launch a fierce attack on Juventus' defense.
Although Juventus did not concede a goal, they gave Manchester United two consecutive free kicks outside the penalty area. These two goals were taken by Griezmann and Kroos respectively. out.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Manchester United once again got a free kick on the right side of the penalty area. This time De Bruyne, Kroos and Griezmann were all in front of the ball.
But Alonso came over: "Let me try this ball."
Hearing Alonso's request, several other players nodded. Today, their shots felt pretty good, but Buffon's save was even better, so they didn't have much confidence in the ball, so it's better to let Alonso try.
As the team's free kick master, Alonso's strength is beyond doubt.
Alonso stood in front of the ball, he took a few steps back, suddenly accelerated, and shot a ground-breaking shot!
"Alonso's powerful attack! The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal! The ball went in!!!"
