Chapter 88, 2 Goals

On October 2, 2013, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United will go away to challenge Shakhtar Donetsk.

Jintaige attaches great importance to this game. Shakhtar Donetsk is not weak. They are the champion team of the Ukrainian Football Super League for four consecutive seasons. There are many big-name players in the team, and they are very strong. The two Brazilian players they introduced from the Brazilian league in 2010 have grown into the main core of the team.

Striker Teixeira cost Shakhtar Donetsk a transfer fee of 6 million euros. Three years ago, he was still playing for Vasco da Gama in the Brazilian second division. Unexpectedly, three years later, he has grown into the attacking core of Shakhtar Donetsk and appeared on the stage of the Champions League. Now many big clubs in Europe are paying attention to this young player.

In the parallel descendant where Jin Taige is located, Teixeira finally transferred to Jiangsu Suning Tesco in 2016. The transfer fee at that time was 50 million euros, and his worth increased by more than 8 times.

And Shakhtar Donetsk's other attacking core is Douglas Costa, a player with fast speed and excellent dribbling. In January 2010, it only cost Shakhtar Donetsk. The price of 8 million euros is only. It is said that Bayern Munich is now paying attention to the growth of this young player. As long as he can continue to maintain a good state, his road to a giant is not far away.

Jintiger made all the preparations. They traveled a long way a day in advance and took a plane to Ukraine, which is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Manchester, ready to face the Donetsk miners. But Shakhtar Donetsk was also very well-prepared. They used a 4-2-3-1 formation in this game, with Teixeira and Costa partnering in midfield, and the powerful center Luis Adri was in front of the line. Arno.

Jin Taige's formation today is still 4-4-2, the goalkeeper is De Gea, the defense is Vidic, Smalling, Evra and Raphael; the midfield is Jones and Ryan Giggs partner in the middle, on both sides It is Mahrez and Nani, and the striker is still a combination of Van Persie and Rooney.

At the beginning of the game, Jintaige's team encountered a big challenge.

Shakhtar Donetsk's playing style was very tough, which caused Manchester United to encounter great difficulties. Their two wingers Mahrez and Nani were frequently violated and fell to the ground, and the referee's whistle was soft. In this way, The Shakhtar Donetsk miners are more reckless. After such a mess, Manchester United's frontcourt cooperation was messed up. When Jones saw this situation, his hot-blooded youth mode was activated again, and he fought with Shakhtar Donetsk players in the midfield. This game often saw players from both teams turn their backs.

Until the end of the first half, the score between the two teams was still 0-0.

In the face of this situation, Jin Taige replaced several substitute players in the second half of the game. He replaced Nani with Valencia, allowing him to strengthen crosses from the side, reduce breakthroughs, and reduce the entanglement in the midfield and frontcourt; and then used Anderson Giggs was replaced, and Kim Tiger wanted to try his luck to see if Anderson could play the magic against Liverpool.

But Anderson disappointed him very much. Jin Taige asked him to reduce the time of the ball under his feet, pass more, and reduce physical contact. However, Anderson still has an old problem. When he sees the ball, it is like a satyr seeing a beautiful beauty, and he is reluctant to let go. , he slammed left and right in Shakhtar Donetsk's frontcourt and wanted to use his personal ability to get opportunities. But the tough Donetsk miners are the least afraid of seeing such a one-on-one situation.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Shakhtar Donetsk defensive midfielder Fernando kept a close eye on Anderson, and then broke the ball at Anderson's feet with great accuracy. Lu moved forward, cut in abruptly before Evra swooped in, and passed the ball into the box. After the striker Teixeira received the ball, he hit the far corner of the goal and the ball went into the net.

Shakhtar Donetsk lead 1-0!

Jin Taige clapped his hands fiercely,

Then he scolded "F**K!"

Scholes shook his head: "Captain, you really shouldn't replace Anderson."

Jin Taige gritted his teeth and said: "This season is definitely Anderson's last season at Manchester United. It's not that I didn't give him a chance, it's that he didn't cherish it himself!"

It's not that Kim Tigger hates players who like to hold the ball, but when they score well! Look at Mahrez's success on the left. Just two months after the new season, Mahrez has firmly occupied the main position of the team and was appointed by Giggs as his successor. In order to allow Mahrez to have better play space, Jintaige did not hesitate to let Ryan Giggs position in the middle, and then completely give up the wing to Mahrez.

Look at Anderson again. He lowered his head and dribbled, acted recklessly, didn't look at his teammates, didn't know how to move, and couldn't find the gap. When he was on the court, he completely lowered Manchester United's overall strength by a notch!

Now that the score is behind, Kintiger made another tactical adjustment. He replaced Evra with Marcos Alonso, and wanted to rely on Alonso's impact to continue to pose a threat to Shakhtar Donetsk.

In the 80th minute of the game, Manchester United finally equalized.

The attack was initiated from the left, and because of Alonso's continuous advance, Manchester United showed a lot of space on the left.

The central defender Vidic is very experienced. He moved his position closer to the wing, and then instructed Jones to retreat appropriately to ensure the defensive formation and give Alonso more forward space.

Jin Taige was very emotional off the field, really "there is an old family, if there is a treasure", it is really lucky for Manchester United to have veterans like Vidic and Ferdinand on the back line of Manchester United. Although their physical strength and speed are not as good as those of young people, if only on the spot experience and the ability to read the game, these two Manchester United veterans are still the top central defenders in world football!

At this time, Manchester United was 1-0 behind, and Alonso couldn't care so much. Jin Tiger let him play to help the team's offense, so Alonso's position was almost mentioned as a winger. After a breakthrough on the wing, he and Mahrez hit the wall in a row, and finally Mahrez passed the ball to the front point, Van Persie headed the ball back, Rooney outflanked in place, grabbed the point and scored this important goal .

Only two goals were scored in this game, and the final result of the game was also fixed at 1-1. Manchester United had a difficult draw with Shakhtar Donetsk on the road and scored 1 point.

After the two Champions League group matches, Manchester United and Shakhtar Donetsk shared 4 points and ranked first in the group. Leverkusen won and drew 3 points and ranked third in the group. Real Sociedad lost both games. , the bottom of the points.

Originally, Jin Taige thought that his qualifying situation was good, but looking at the current situation, he may not be as optimistic as he imagined...
