Chapter 524: Was it eliminated by the times?
Manchester United, who played away, scored four goals in the first half. This performance really surprised Juventus' side. Even Luis Enrique, the head coach, assumed the worst case as the presumption in advance, was not so bad!
Four balls!
Not to mention the half-court ball, even if you finish the normal game, the "old woman" loses four goals... it's impossible!
In this game, Luis Enrique did not make up his life and did not dare to use any tricks. He arranged the tactical style that Juventus was best at, and then...and... he fell four goals behind in the first half!
This is so...it's a hell!
And looking at the four goals scored by Manchester United, there is no lucky balloon. Each ball was gained by the "Red Devils" with their strong strength. If you really want to tell the reason... Louis Enrique can see clearly!
gap!
A huge gap in strength!
Before this game, Luis Enrique had already started studying Manchester United's team when he knew that the team had entered the knockout stage and faced the "Red Devils". However, after studying it, he did not think that there was anything special about the Manchester United team that dominated the English football world in recent years.
To be particularly particular... it is probably the super scorer "God Yang" on the front line. Although the players in other positions in Manchester United are also good, they don't look first-class.
But when I was facing Manchester United today, Louis Enrique discovered that although this "Red Devils" only had a super player like China Yang, the other teams' ideas for playing football are completely different...Unity!
The performance of this Manchester United team is really too "unified". It's not that the relationship between Manchester United players is so harmonious, but these Manchester United players are "unified" to play football next to China Yang.
In short… Manchester United are all serving their "King" alone!
In this case, there is actually no way to deal with it. After all, no matter how strong the personal strength of Manchester United's "King" is, as long as Juventus is willing to have enough manpower to guard, Yang Xiaozhuang's space for performance may be squeezed to the point where there is no such thing.
However, after watching today's first half, Louis Enrique knew that he was naive and that he thought things too simple!
Manchester United players are indeed playing around the "King", but the "King" itself has enough view of the overall situation, not the selfish personality that no one else can even score goals except me. This makes Manchester United's offense unpredictable.
In the first half, Martial scored the first goal. Once the opponent was attracted by Manchester United's "Kings" to defend, the other Manchester United players would seize the gap without hesitation and give the opponent a fatal blow.
Louis Enrique thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out a way to restrain Manchester United's offense, or it should be said that he couldn't find a way to restrain Manchester United's "King"... Can he really use the killing tactics shamelessly?
The killing tactic is definitely a decisive tactic that is effective for any player on the football field. But once this shameless tactic is used, it will not only lose the personality of a head coach, but also cause endless troubles. Therefore... this kind of thing happens less and less in modern football and is almost extinct.
Because I couldn't think of any solution, during the halftime break, Louis Enrique could only focus on how his players should play in the second half... Anyway, they were already four goals behind at home, and there was probably no hope for the away game in the next round.
Then... this year's "old woman"'s Champions League journey has come to an end!
Since this is the case, what else can I say? I can’t lose the game and lose people!
What Luis Enrique did not expect was that before the second half of the game began, the problem that had plagued him, the entire team and all Juventus fans... was solved!
Manchester United has made a substitution!
Ronaldo, who had been sitting on the bench in the first half, got the chance to play after halftime. In such an important game as the Champions League knockout stage, Solskjaer still used him to replace Manchester United's "King"!
However, Solskjaer's substitution was made only by Yang Xiaozhuang's point of view. After playing forty-five minutes in the first half, Yang Xiaozhuang felt that the outcome of the game was no longer suspense. What's more, even if Manchester United had an accident in the second half and was reversed by Juventus, they all got four away goals in their hands. After returning to Old Trafford, they could guarantee the right to qualify.
Ronaldo has only left Juventus for less than two months. This time he returned to Juventus Stadium and his mood was still affected a little, but... that's it!
As a professional player and a legendary superstar who has played for Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and other teams, Ronaldo's psychological qualities in some aspects have long been honed.
But... in the second half, I don't know if it was Ronaldo's own strength, condition, or because Juventus players were too familiar with this former teammate who had played with for almost three years, so Ronaldo never had any excellent performance in the 45 minutes of the second half.
15 passes, 66% success rate, 3 shots, 2 shots, 8 headers, 2 successes... This is all Ronaldo's performance in the 45-minute game time in the second half.
On the contrary, when the "old woman" rose up and Yu Yong launched a counterattack, Martial stood up again. In the 63 minutes, he seized the opportunity of the team to fight back, went to the meeting alone and scored his second goal in the game, and locked the score to...0:5!
Juventus, who played at home, was defeated by Manchester United, who came from afar!
After the game, the performance of the "old woman" was also criticized by the entire European football world...
"Juventus lost five goals to Manchester United at home, and Luis Enrique's whereabouts after this season are a mystery."
"Juventus is already the strongest team in Serie A, but they don't even have the strength to fight back against Manchester United. Even if they have the advantage of home court, they still lose 5 goals!"
"After the first leg, Manchester United can fully announce that it has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season. As an opponent, Juventus failed to cause any trouble for Manchester United at home. It can be seen that the current level of Serie A is indeed too far from the Premier League."
"The once glorious Serie A League has completely declined, and now it has almost become a second-rate European league. Juventus is still the top team in Serie A, and the strength of other Serie A teams can be imagined."
