Chapter 115: Locking the Victory

Chapter 115: Lock in the win

The players on both sides came out to drink water, and although it was only ten minutes in the second half, the high-intensity game made the players very hydrated.

On the Manchester United side, there are also several Juventus players who come nearby to get water to drink, and there are also Manchester United players mixed in on the Juventus side.

When the game doesn't go on, it's no longer a tension.

However, the managers on both sides had grim expressions, because the team doctor had been on the field for a while, and it seemed that the two players lying on the ground on both sides were not lightly injured...

Sure enough, the team doctors on both sides made gestures to make a substitution.

Ancelotti scolded secretly, Di Maria has just returned from injury, if it weren't for the fact that this game is a key game in the Champions League, maybe Ancelotti would not have arranged for him to start, but since he started, there must be some risks.

Di Maria was replaced by Rashford, and now in this situation, it is not bad to replace Rashford to fight back.

Juventus, on the other hand, simply changed their formation.

Alves was replaced by Gabon's Mario Lemina, a well-balanced midfielder who was put in a forward position by Allegri.

Now Juventus' formation has been adjusted to 352!

Mario. Lemina and Cuadrado each played as two wing-backs, while Lichtsteiner was simply put in the centre-back position, and the Swiss was now struggling to contribute in attack, so Allegri simply let him concentrate on defending.

And the front court is still the partnership of Mandzukic and Higuain.

As for Dybala, he is now behind Mandzukic and Iguala and looks like he is going to play as a midfielder, but this midfielder can also rush into the box and become a nine-and-a-half player at any time.

Ancelotti saw Allegri's adjustment and knew that the opponent was now starting to attack in an all-out way!

However, Ancelotti is not afraid, Manchester United is now leading by two goals, and has the capital to play defensive counter-attacks.

In order to strengthen the midfield, Ancelotti simply replaced Mata with him, and it was Carrick who came on.

Juventus changed the formation to 352, and Manchester United simply played 442.

With the depth of the midfield, United's defence is more solid than before, and it will not be easy for Juventus to penetrate this defensive system from the middle.

However, now Juventus' attack is no longer through midfield, and they directly create crosses through two wings. Although the approach was somewhat crude and crude, Juventus were able to create some attacking threat in a short period of time, and at least the United penalty area began to become less secure.

In the 65th minute of the game, Cuadrado crossed the ball directly into the penalty area on the right side.

Mandzukic grabbed over Hummels' head and gave the ball back to Dybala.

The Argentine genius had a very good feeling at his feet, he unloaded the ball gently, deftly dodged Eric Bailly's top tackle and then fired a right-footed shot from inside the box!!

However, this shot showed Dybala's immaturity, and he failed to capitalize on this hard-won opportunity to score, and his shot went straight to the second layer of the stands...

Although the goal was not scored, it gave Juventus the encouragement that they at least saw hope of scoring, and that such a play could create an attacking threat.

So the next Juventus attack was even more simple and crude.

Keep high balls on both sides, and let the two strikers in the middle fight for the top!

"Lemina is passing by!! Cross !! ”

"Higuain!! Oh.... Almost!! Pity!!! "The Italian commentators are looking very excited at this time, because Juventus' offensive seems to be getting closer and closer to scoring goals during this time!

Higuain's volley from a cross down the middle looked like it had gone in, but it ended up in the side-netting, scaring the United fans enough.

'Gonzalo Higuain and Mandzukic are two strikers who are very impactful in the box, and when Juventus start to get the ball more into their area, they can use their individual abilities to create a threat!! Manchester United must be very cautious about this! Duan Xuan said in the commentary seat.

Ancelotti wasn't too surprised, Juventus is Juventus after all, and they can always figure out ways to create attacking opportunities, and Ancelotti is not surprised by this.

United's players were not surprised to see that Juventus' crosses had left them a little scrambling, but once they were ready, Juventus' cross threat began to slow down.

Now, on the contrary, United are starting to have more opportunities to counter-attack.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Juventus' cross from the side was pushed out by Manchester United's central defender, and then Carrick controlled the ball and sent a long ball forward to Juventus behind.

Marcus Rashford started very quickly, he took the ball forward and almost formed a one-on-one goal, but Leonardo Bonucci eventually tried to interfere with Rashford's shot and let Rashford's shot fly...

The United fans in the stands let out a sigh of regret as Marcus Rashford came close to sealing the win.

It was also a pity that Rashford lost a one-on-one knife, but he soon had another chance.

This time it's Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan is not as fast as Rashford, but he is very steady with the ball.

In the middle, Li Qingshan faked a real shot, shook Chiellini and then entered the penalty area, at this time Bonucci had to fill in, and at this time Li Qingshan had already picked up the ball and picked the top of Bonucci's head.

Faced with the opportunity to open the goal, Rashford did not let it go this time.

He stared at the ball flying towards him, and with a flick of the header, it sent the ball into the empty goal....

"Beautiful!!! United fought back in quick succession and finally scored a goal in the 79th minute to seal the win!! Duan Xuan shouted from the stands.

Manchester United fans jumped from the stands as Old Trafford turned into a volcano and spewed flames into the sky.

Marcus Rashford was relieved to finally get the ball into the back of the net, and these days he has either lost a single shot or been tackled on the counter-attack, which has almost made him lose confidence.

Many young players will go through such a stage, the first time to be amazing in the professional arena, and then trapped by the mentality, the attention of the opponent, after a few confused games, many players are lost at this stage.

However, the players who can get out of this stage can become great players after all.
