Chapter 187: The Critical Period of the Competition

"The second half had just begun, and both sides had their own attacking threats. After the substitution adjustment, Atletico Madrid began to perform on the offensive end, Griezmann's dribbling in the midfield made Manchester United have to use the cost of fouls to stop, and Manchester United's offensive is gone, and it seems that the two sides will continue to make a fuss on the offensive side in the second half of the game!! Duan Xuan said excitedly.

For the fans, especially for the neutral fans, what they want to see most is of course a wonderful and exciting battle with a lot of goals. Otherwise, if everyone stays up late and sees a siege battle that breaks the bus, or simply a stuffy battle that both teams are careful not to press, fans will definitely feel that these 90 minutes of time have been wasted.

Both teams were attacking and United organised a counter-attack immediately after Atletico Madrid's corner was headed out.

Mata's pass found Li Qingshan accurately, Li Qingshan took the ball with his back outside the penalty area, and then passed the ball to Herrera who cut forward.

Herrera fired a low shot from inside the box that Oblak cleared.

Although Atletico Madrid has conceded two goals in this game, Oblak's performance is still quite good, and if it wasn't for his performance, Atletico Madrid would have conceded more goals a long time ago.

It is precisely because of this that in the competition for goalkeepers, Oblak was able to firmly suppress Moya and occupy the position of the first goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid.

Manchester United's attack is ferocious, Atletico Madrid's side is actually not weak, after the break, this team has unified their thinking, for them, the only way now is to attack, is to score!

Antoine Griezmann was the brightest player on the pitch at the time, and the Frenchman played with a ballooning style.

In the first half, Griezmann did not get many chances to touch the ball in the front line, and in the second half, Simeone gave Griezmann a lot of space and freedom to move, and in the midfield, whether it was on the left, right or in the middle, he could be seen.

Griezmann once again won the ball in midfield, and before Fellaini could get on the back, Griezmann flicked the ball to the side with the outside of his right foot, and then quickly turned and accelerated himself from the other side.

Turn around and pick up the ball, and the ball passes over!!

Marouane Fellaini was comfortably denied by Antoine Griezmann this time.

After a successful dribble, Antoine Griezmann dribbled straight into the United penalty area.

Rojo stepped forward to defend while the rest of the defenders fought and retreated!

Antoine Griezmann dribbled the ball at a good pace, his speed did not slow, but the ball never left his feet more than a metre.

Rojo didn't dare to grab easily, so he had to slowly retreat with Griezmann's pace, waiting for the opportunity to grab it.

When the ball was pressed outside the penalty line, Griezmann slammed the ball with his right foot to the left!!

Here's your chance!!

Rojo's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward with his right foot.

Griezmann was on his feet much faster than Rojo, and he quickly flicked the ball to the right and jumped up to avoid Rojo's top snatch!

"Griezmann has passed!!!" The Spanish commentator's eyes lit up and he was already looking forward to something.

"Be careful!! Duan Xuan also saw the danger!!

In the exclamation of the commentator and the audience, Griezmann had picked up his right foot after landing on the ground, and the instep of his foot was broken straight!!

"Antoine Griezmann shoots !!!!!!"

To the commentator's exclamation, the ball flew against the turf and headed towards the United goal.

Rojo, who had lost his position after the scramble, turned to see in horror that the ball was about to fly into the Manchester United goal!!

However, there is still De Gea in the doorway!!

De Gea was already tense after Griezmann's shot.

He didn't wait for the ball to come out before making a move, it must have been too late by then!!

From his point of view, the United defenders on the right side are still very dense, and if Griezmann plays in this direction, it is likely to hit the defenders - of course, there is a certain probability of breaking through the defenders and refracting into the net.

But compared to that, the left side of the goal is much empty!!

De Gea is betting that Griezmann is playing this side!!

He was right!!

Facing the gap on the left, Griezmann didn't have time to think about it, and directly hit this side.

The quality of his shots is quite high, the speed and angle of the ball are very good.

If De Geati hadn't moved to the left, the goal would have been on goal!!

But even so, De Gea's save was very thrilling, and between the lightning and flint, De Gea flicked the ball with his fingertips, and the ball changed direction and bounced back on the post, and then it was cleared by Hummels!!

"Ahhhh It's a shame!! It was the closest Atletico Madrid had to score in this game!! Antoine Griezmann had a good enough shot on goal, but he met the quick-witted De Gea to make a brilliant save from such a near-perfect finish. In terms of goal-line reaction, there is no goalkeeper in this world who can match De Gea!! "The Spanish commentator hugged his head and regretted!

Manchester United's players were also taken aback by the goal.

After losing his position after the grab, the opponent's shot was undoubtedly very responsible for this goal, and De Gea's magic save was to make up for Rojo.

Rojo ran to De Gea's side and hugged him.

The rest of the United players also stepped forward to rub the top of De Gea's head.

De Gea's save was no less than a goal!!

Carlo Ancelotti was also taken aback by Griezmann's shot. Since Manchester United did not score away goals, although they are now 2-0 ahead, this lead is actually not safe!

Atletico Madrid only needs to score one more goal to take the initiative in promotion!

The television broadcast found close-ups of the two managers.

Carlo Ancelotti was frustrated with the defence of the ball, standing on the sidelines yelling at the defenders.

And Simeone is holding his head and staring dullly, can't he score a goal with such an opportunity? ?

Ancelotti and Simeone.

One is a traditional Italian coach, and the other is an Argentine marshal with a full personality.

At this time, the competition for their teams on the pitch has entered a white heat.

Manchester United have the advantage, but that advantage is not safe. What's more, Atletico Madrid also began to pull back some on the field, and the suspense of this game was still very large, and fans on both sides watched nervously, lest they miss a goal in the blink of an eye.

Manchester United didn't dare to start defending so early, they were still chasing goals, and Atletico Madrid needless to say, they had to score a goal!

The competition is gradually entering the climax!

And who will win the matchup between these two teams?
