Chapter 188: Death Sentence!

Whether it's Manchester United or Atletico Madrid, the mentality of the players on both sides is tense to the extreme.

It's just a ball gap that makes players on both sides dare not relax!

The experienced Carlo Ancelotti couldn't sit still anymore at the moment, and he also walked to the sidelines, like Simeone on the other side, dancing and directing.

I don't know how much the players can listen to in such a noisy and tense environment.

In the 70th minute, Torres had a long-range shot from outside the box that was saved by De Gea again.

Ancelotti looked at the time on the big screen and decided to take the initiative to make adjustments!

Now there are about twenty minutes left in the game, and the situation on the field is quite thrilling.

Both Manchester United and Atletico Madrid created chances, but thanks to the excellent performances of the two goalkeepers, David De Gea and Oblak, neither side has yet to score.

But Carlo Ancelotti is no longer willing to pin his hopes on the goalkeeper's performance – it's too unsafe!

He decided to take the initiative!

Carlo Ancelotti replaced Juan Mata with Carrick, reducing an attacking player and adding a midfielder who could contribute to both defensive and attacking organisation.

Ancelotti's mind is obvious, he wants to strengthen his defense, and at the same time catch a counterattack!

For Ancelotti's adjustment, Simeone was secretly happy in his heart.

This shows that the other party can't sit still first, and now Atletico Madrid's offensive is booming, Manchester United's retreat, isn't this in the hands of Atletico Madrid?

Defend and counterattack, defend and counterattack, you have to defend before you can have a counterattack!!

Simeone also shouted to the Atletico Madrid players on the sidelines, signaling them to continue pressing the onslaught!

With Carlo Ancelotti's substitution, the situation on the pitch began to change a bit.

On the field, Atletico Madrid gradually dominated the game, and they began to increase the range of pressure and the number of troops invested in the attacking end.

Atletico Madrid continued to push in attack.

In the 73rd minute, Atletico Madrid continued to cooperate in the front, Griezmann plugged with his right foot in the arc of the penalty area, Mandzukic rubbed the lower right corner of the goal ten meters in front of the goal, and the football drew an arc and flew towards the goal.

In the face of such a sudden shot, De Gea made another brilliant save! Before he had time to fall to the ground, he stretched out his leg and swept the ball with the tip of his left foot, causing the ball to eventually deflect off the baseline.

In the 75th minute, Atletico Madrid's attack returned, Gabi played a long pass near the center circle to the right, Carrasco received the ball on the right and crossed it low, Griezmann grabbed the front point and shoveled, and the football hit the side-netting, scaring the United fans enough.

Andy Gray said worriedly on the commentary bench: "Manchester United made adjustments, but it doesn't seem to contain Atletico Madrid's attack, in the face of such a fierce attack, De Gea made five wonderful saves, but it is obviously not safe to pin the defense on the goalkeeper's play......."

Carlo Ancelotti found that his adjustments didn't seem to have much effect, but instead made Atletico Madrid's momentum even stronger.

Ancelotti, who realized his mistake, stood on the sidelines, pressed down with both hands, and asked the Manchester United players to stabilize the situation on the field first!

At this time, Manchester United's on-field formation became 4411, and Li Qingshan was at the front, and Di Maria was naturally ambushed behind Li Qingshan.

However, during the period after the substitution adjustment, Manchester United's offensive could not start, and Li Qingshan on the forward line could not get a pass, and he had been unable to touch the ball for several minutes.

Seeing such a situation, Li Qingshan took the initiative to change positions with Di Maria, let Di Maria go to the front, and went to the midfield to help stabilize the situation.

After all, his ability to protect the ball is still very good, as long as he passes the ball to his feet to protect the ball and does not lose the ball, the pace of the game will be forced to slow down.

Li Qingshan retreated to the midfield, and the football quickly passed to the soles of his feet.

Gabi was not polite because Li Qingshan was a former teammate, he tamed it and pasted it, and carried Li Qingshan on his shoulders first.

However, it was obviously impossible to shake Li Qingshan with this level of collision, but then Saul came up and stretched out his legs to trip Li Qingshan, who was about to turn forward with the ball, and tripped him to the ground.

Foul!

Next, Li Qingshan looked as if he was playing a midfielder, and there was a player who could withstand the impact of Atletico Madrid to hold the ball in the midfield, giving the players on Manchester United's side a chance to breathe.

Seeing that Manchester United wanted to stabilize the situation, the unwilling Atletico Madrid side strengthened the pressing of the midfield.

Luis Felipe and Juanfran both pressed past half-time and went on a frenzied chase for United's midfield.

As long as they cut off the ball, Atletico Madrid can immediately counterattack directly!

But there is clearly a risk that Atletico Madrid will do so.

In their backline, there is only one defender left, Godin! Di Maria, on the other hand, is moving around the centre circle, waiting for a chance to counter-attack!!

In the 79th minute, Atletico Madrid's frantic pressing took effect, and they cut off the ball in midfield and passed it straight forward.

Antoine Griezmann took a shot from outside the box, only to have the ball bounce off the crossbar and bounce back.

However, before there was time to sigh for Atletico Madrid, Manchester United's counterattack finally came!!

Rojo passed the ball to Li Qingshan in the middle circle!

Li Qingshan carried Gabi to complete the turn.

Before Gabi stretched out his leg and tripped him, Li Qingshan pushed forward with his right foot!!

Di Maria, who was in the center circle, was waiting for such an opportunity, and he rushed out like a cheetah!

'Manchester United's counter-attacking !!!!!' The commentators exclaimed!

At this time, at the back, Atletico Madrid was left with a defender, and after running forward for a while, Godin realized that he could not get the ball before Di Maria, so he slowed down slightly and prepared to intercept Di Maria on the road.

Di Maria's speed did not slow, and he went straight forward with the ball.

Godin couldn't keep up with Di Maria's pace, he didn't even have time to foul, Di Maria passed him like a gust of wind!

Godin gritted his teeth, turned around and chased after him in the box!

"Di Maria singled !!!"

Di Maria quickly dribbled into the box and Oblak had already dropped the ball.

In the face of Oblak, Di Maria slowed down slightly. However, by this time Godin had already killed.

Di Maria was ready to pick the ball past the goalkeeper and Godin stretched his leg around to break it up.

Di Maria hurriedly pulled the ball back, and Godin's leg was there.

Di Maria fell in the box!

The referee's whistle blew, he pointed to the penalty spot and pulled out a .......... Red!!

"Penalty and red card, Atletico Madrid sentenced to death!!"
