Chapter 212 The Champions League semifinals beckon

Allegri was always on the sidelines.

Before the start of the game, Allegri was a bit of a fluke.

Maybe Manchester United, who have just gone through a big game, will look a little tired in this game, or maybe they will not be in good form. Or will Manchester United, with two away goals in their hands, arrogantly underestimate this game?

But when the game began, Allegri found that his luck was shattered.

Manchester United didn't get carried away with the advantage they built up in the first leg! They are playing very steadily at home as well.

Manchester United began to take control of the game after about a few minutes of onslaught at the start of the game, keeping the ball at their feet and then slowly pushing Juventus' overall formation back.

It's a ticket to the semi-finals and United are very cautious. In time, you can't score a goal for a while, and you have to make sure that Juventus is not given the slightest chance.

For the first ten minutes of the game, United were in control of the situation on the pitch.

Although Li Qingshan is a striker, he often retreats to get the ball to ensure that the ball is in the hands of Manchester United. When Juventus don't have the ball at their feet, they can't get the attack they want.

Possession is sometimes a form of defence.

As for Juventus, they want to continue the success of the first half of the last leg between the two sides, and there are not many options, and in the face of Manchester United's slowly pressing attack, they can only shrink back and try not to concede a goal first.

If it's been a 0-0 scoreline, then it's not the end of the world for Juventus, the football scene is changing in a hurry, and now Manchester United seem to be in control, but who knows what will happen next?

At that time, if Juventus seizes an opportunity to make the score 1-0, it will be Juventus who will advance.

So Allegri was not too anxious, Manchester United's attack was not too strong, so Juventus's side also stabilized its position first, and then said, no matter what, this is also the opponent's home field.

Herrera and Kramer, the two midfielders, did not dare to leave the danger zone of the defensive line for half a step, and although United were now in possession, they were still in danger of conceding the ball if they were tackled by the opponent and counterattacked.

The two full-backs slowly pressed up, with Valencia and Sandro both attempting to attack with 45-degree crosses, but their crosses needed to be improved, with a couple of crosses that flew off the crossbar.

Then Li Qingshan also pulled to the periphery to participate in the team's offensive organization, and Manchester United tried a few long-range shots from outside the penalty area, but the result was either blocked or deflected out of the goal, and none of them hit the goal frame.

However, this only shows that Manchester United are very cautious in attack.

Manchester United invested a lot of people in the attack in this game, and after Juventus got the ball back, they wanted to attack and were quickly snatched back by Manchester United, who had a lot of people at the back, and then possessed the ball for a long time.

Manchester United are going to boil frogs in warm water to kill Juventus.

The Italian team has very few attacking opportunities, and when there are no good counter-attacking opportunities, they do not dare to put too many players in the attacking end, after all, they are also afraid of Manchester United's counter-attack.

Mandzukic and Gonzalo Higuain were indeed two strikers in this game, and Allegri's side also tried to open up gaps in United's defence with wide crosses.

However, with Kramer returning to the back line to participate in the defence, Higuain and Mandzukic were drowned in the tall United defence, and whether it was Cuadrado on the left or Dybala on the right, the cross was headed out by the United players first.

Juventus' few attacks did not pose a threat at all.

And after Manchester United gradually held Juventus down, Li Qingshan's threat began to appear.

In the eighteenth minute of the game, Sandro on the left finally delivered a good quality cross.

Li Qingshan nodded the ball into the goal after slanting in, but was hugged into Buffon's arms.

Buffon hugged the football and rushed out of the small penalty area, he wanted to plan a counterattack, but when he looked up, Manchester United's defensive formation was very tight, and Juventus's defenders were taking care of all points of attack, and there was no space for counterattacks.

Buffon was a little discouraged and had to wait until both players were out of the box and passed the ball to Alves on the wing, and then Juventus played the attacking organising of the land campaign.

The Reds were unable to attack and struggled with Juventus too much up front, and they quickly returned to their own half to build a defence.

Compared to United's slowness, Juventus don't have much capital to pass the ball slowly at the back - if they do, the United players will just watch from the sidelines and will never interfere with them, after all, it is Juventus who need to score goals now.

You can't score a goal with your foot backwards, and if you want to score, you have to pass the ball to Manchester United's side of the half.

However, as soon as Juventus' attacking playmaking pushed past half-time, the United players immediately posted up.

Dybala won the ball on the right, but he was forced to the side by Kramer, where Sandro came up and pressed.

As a result, the relatively thin Dybala lost the ball under the turn of two strong men, and Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack on the spot!

Kramer got the ball and immediately passed it to Herrera in the middle, and Herrera didn't stop, he passed the ball diagonally forward to Pogba on the left side of the midfield!

Pogba drove forward with the ball and pushed the front line to the edge of the Juventus penalty area!

Manchester United's transition from defense to attack was very fast, and at this time Juventus's defense was not complete, and the players were a little flustered.

After Pogba got to the edge of the box, he crossed the ball to the left in front of Leonardo Bonucci.

Di Maria received the ball and stopped it on the spot, attracted Alves' defense and passed the ball to the baseline defense!

It was left wing-back Sandro who rushed up to assist in the assist!

Sandro's low cross and the ball flew over Chiellini's head and went back!

Li Qingshan at the back point is now Lichtsteiner's turn to defend, poor Lichtsteiner is completely unbearable in the face of Li Qingshan, who is so strong, Li Qingshan pressed him to jump and hit the goal with a header!!

When Allegri saw that it was Lichtsteiner who was defending Li Qingshan, his heart was already chuckling. Then he was counting on Gianluigi Buffon to make a brilliant save to save Juventus' fortunes.

However, Buffon was helpless in the face of this close-range header!

The ball was headed into the top right corner of the goal by Li Qingshan, and Buffon couldn't even make a save.

There was a deafening cheer at Old Trafford, and Li Qingshan laughed and ran along the baseline to the sideline.

Juventus had just had some ideas in the attacking end, and they were immediately pushed to the ground by Manchester United.

1 to 0!!

The aggregate score was 3-2 and United also had two away goals!

The Champions League semi-finals are already beckoning to Manchester United!
