Chapter 196: Conquering the Alps
Chapter 196 Conquer Albe
"Great! I'm proud of you! David, Tiger, Roy, Paul, Dwight... Your performance is so wonderful! Let those bastards know that now is no longer the era when Premier League teams are slaughtered by Serie A teams at will! With two goals behind, we struggled to get back! Before, with one less person, we still struggled to defeat Arsenal! Young men! Your courage, fighting spirit and persistence will be engraved in Manchester United's history, setting an unparalleled monument!"
This refreshing first half not only made Manchester United fans cheer wildly, but even Ferguson couldn't help but feel excited. After returning to the locker room, he immediately said a long sentence with great excitement, and his words were filled with trembling!
As excited as Ferguson, are Manchester United players!
Under such extremely difficult conditions, when all the unfavorable factors come to Manchester United, Manchester United players desperately attacked and finally played the good situation in the present and finally played a future!
"In the second half, continue to maintain such momentum! Now the balance has been completely broken. In this game, whoever scores more goals will be able to win the final victory! And the current situation is beneficial to us! The reason is very simple. Even if we score as many goals in the next place as Juventus, the final winner will be us! Not to mention having such an advantage, even if there is no such advantage, I firmly believe that the victory in this game will ultimately belong to us! Because your performance proves that nothing can be done in front of us!"
Ferguson waved his fists and yelled in the locker room. Every roar of his voice was enough to inspire every point of fighting spirit and desire to win in Manchester United players!
"To win! Not only to draw! Conquer Juventus and Italian football with a refreshing victory! This game will be Manchester United's victory and British football!"
Under Ferguson's instigation, Manchester United players came on the court with firm steps. At this moment, they no longer had any fear!
"Players from both sides have appeared! This first half is the most tense and intense and changeable first half since the start of the knockout round! There have been too many unimaginable things, Juventus led eleven minutes into the game, and I'm afraid the most optimistic Juventus fans would not think of this. However, in the next game, Manchester United showed unparalleled fighting spirit! Two headers from Keane and York helped them equalize the score, and those who assisted them were Beckham and Tiger Lee... The current total score is three to three, and Manchester United relied on the advantage of having more away goals to win the game
First! Let's wait and see what will happen in the second half... Manchester United did not substitute, but still eleven players in the first half. At the beginning of the second half, Juventus replaced two players, defender Montero and forward Amoruso came on the court, replacing Bilindelli and Uliano. After this substitution, Juventus's only defenders in the backcourt were Montero and Ferrara, and Pesotto was more like a wing forward. Perhaps Dilivio will participate more in the defense. Juventus' intention to launch a large-scale attack in the second half is already very obvious!"
Ancelotti's two substitutions were very decisive, although he didn't have many people to use, especially on the forward line, Piero was injured. This season, the forward line has basically been supported by Inzagi alone, and there are only two forwards on the bench, one Amoruso and the old Uruguayan Fonseca - Ancelotti doesn't have many people to use.
The high-momented Manchester United and Juventus, who were already forced into a desperate situation, forced out the last trace of strength in their bodies like two scarred beasts, and launched a desperate battle in the center of the Alp Stadium!
When Tiger stopped the ball at his feet, he began to feel more pressure than in the first half. Obviously, when the stars like Juventus were forced into a dead end, the power they burst out was also huge.
In terms of the main lineup, Juventus is not much different from last season. In fact, what is missing is a soul figure like Piero last season. Although Zidane performed extremely well in the World Cup, he was not the core of Juventus last season, but Piero. After Piero was missing, Juventus's condition began to decline overall, which is something that most people did not expect.
But without Piero, the abilities of other Juventus players are not bad. For midfielders like Zidane and Davis, top opportunistic shooters like Inzagi, and a defense line composed of powerful players, supplemented by Conte and Dilivio, who are not very famous but are actually very practical. Juventus's problem is not the players, but the overall problem.
However, in one or two games, they still have outstanding abilities.
Seeing that he could not get rid of Davis' fierce pressing, Tiger turned around and passed the ball out, but Deschamps rushed out of the slant and flew to tackle the ball!
Tiger's heart skipped a beat and immediately rushed forward to try to counterattack. Deschamps, who was still lying on the ground, stretched out his foot and swept the ball to Zidane in front.
Zidane made a catch move, and Keane forced him up from behind. Zidane did not take the ball, but easily picked the ball with his right foot and picked it to the right!
Pesotto, who was inserted in the back row, received the ball, and then raised his foot and passed it out when Erwin and Bromquist were about to press. Inzaghi in the penalty area stretched out his foot and removed the ball, then turned around and shot!
The ball quickly flew to the lower right corner of the goal, and Schmeichel made a wonderful save. Instead of flying, he sat down and blocked Inzaghi's close shot with his legs!
"Excellent! Schmeichel stopped Inzaghi's hat trick!"
Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack. Keane got the ball in the middle and passed it straight, and Tiger received the ball. This time he did not give Davis and Deschamps a chance to attack. He directly passed the ball back to Scholes behind him, and then ran forward by himself. Scholes transferred the ball to Beckham's feet. York and Tiger shot two arrows at the same time, rushing straight to Juventus' penalty area!
Beckham made a cross, York swung the front point, and Tiger, who was inserted in the back row, fell to the ground and shot!
The Juventus defenders obviously began to notice this. Ferrara rushed over from the side and blocked Tiger's shot with her body. In the second half, Montero, who was replaced, cleared the ball with a big foot!
After this attack, it was Juventus' turn to attack again. Inzaghi received a cross from Dilivio in the penalty area and scored the ball into the goal - but it was obvious that the ball was offside, and Inzaghi had offside for as much as two meters. In Serie A, this goal may be effective, but not in European courts...
Manchester United continued to launch a counterattack. Bromquist made a cross from the left after forcing a forced breakthrough from the left. York headed the ball and Scholes' long shot was blocked by Montero with his body.
In this back and forth tug-of-war battle, time passed quickly, and twenty minutes passed quickly, but the attacks of both sides still did not stop!
Although all the players on the field have begun to breathe rapidly, no one has stopped running hard. At this time, whoever can't hold on first will give up his qualification to participate in the finals!
In this case, it is the time to test the players' fighting spirit, perseverance and desire to win!
During this period, Tiger retreated his position a little, in order to give himself more opportunities to get the ball. He began to continuously pass the ball in the midfield to dispatch the entire team's offense, consuming as much physical energy as possible, and consuming less physical energy for the players of this team.
Now Scholes' position is closer to a striker, and his shot at the front of the penalty area is more threatening. If he cannot enter the opponent's penalty area, his position is more effective - this is a tactical adjustment made by Ferguson.
In the 68th minute, Scholes tackled Deschamps in the counter-attack and received a yellow card.
Ferguson bit his lips tightly. This game is destined to be a loss-winning game. Even if Manchester United enters the finals, the two main midfielders Keane and Scholes will be suspended in the game. The corresponding Juventus is also miserable. There are also many players who receive yellow cards, Ferrara, Deschamps, Dilivio... These are all important players of Juventus!
Seeing this scene, the happiest person should be Bayern - they beat Dynamo Kiev 1-0 at home in the previous game and narrowly passed the score with a total score of 4-3. The more serious the losses the Manchester United and Juventus will be, the more favor they will be...
However, Ferguson and Ancelotti are no longer at the finals. Only after passing this level can they have the opportunity to consider how to play in the finals - only the winner can have the trouble of the finals, and the loser will not be qualified!
Tiger received the ball from a little back, Davis came up, and Deschamps defended Scholes from a little back. Tiger controlled the ball under his feet, glanced at the right, and then - break through!
Tiger's eyes attracted some of Davis' attention - players rarely have time to think about other things in the intense game, which also slowed down his reaction. Just when Davis was slightly distracted, Tiger quickly dunked his right foot, dunked the ball from Davis, and then broke through!
Davis turned around in anger and ran his shoulders towards Tiger. Although Davis knew that he could not knock Tiger down, he could still delay his progress!
However, Tiger had expected this. When Davis turned around and bumped into him, Tiger hit the ball behind him with his left foot, and then stopped suddenly, and did not allow Davis's collision!
Then, from behind Davis, Tiger dribbled the ball forward!
This collision used all Davis's strength, and his physical strength was also severely reduced, which made him unable to stop his pace and rushed over directly, and could no longer block Tiger in a short period of time.
Deschamps immediately left Scholes to make up for the position, but Tiger immediately passed the ball to Scholes, and then accelerated to rush past Deschamps. Scholes passed in time - a beautiful two-pass one!
Cooperating with Scholes, Tiger shook off Juventus' two major midfielders in one breath and came to the front of the penalty area.
However, Juventus' defense line was not in chaos. Pesotto and Dilivio's retreat kept Juventus' defense line still above four people. They had enough defensive staff in the penalty area - as long as they blocked for a while, Deschamps and Davis would also retreat immediately!
In this case, after receiving the ball, Tiger raised his right foot high!
All his strength was concentrated on his right foot, and then he pulled the ball hard!
Go ahead! Don't think about anything else!
After shooting the ball out, Tiger immediately felt that his whole body was empty, as if the power in his body had already flew out at the same time as the ball flew out!
"Give me - go in!" Tiger yelled in his heart.
The ball flew into the penalty area like lightning. Montero wanted to use his body to block the ball, but the ball flew faster than he had judged. Before he could pounce, the ball flew past him with a violent sound of wind!
Peruji jumped up hard and made his first reaction to the long shot!
However……
This long shot, which was considered a low flat ball, immediately began to float upward after flying into the small penalty area, and the upward curve was quite large. Peruji, who was already mentally prepared, extended his hand to the highest level, but still could not touch the ball!
"Brush!" The ball flew past Peruji's hand, and then a white wave exploded inside the goal!
At that moment, the roar of thousands of Manchester United fans occupied the entire Alp Stadium!
After seeing the ball fly into the goal, Tiger felt that his strength was back. He covered his face with both hands, then turned around and started running!
None of the excited teammates chasing behind him could catch up with Tiger. Tiger rushed to the stands occupied by Manchester United fans. Then he stopped, put his hands on his hips, and his head raised high, looking arrogant!
With a shocking long shot, Tiger conquered Alp! Although there are still twenty minutes left before the end of the game, everyone feels that Manchester United's victory is right in front of you!
Beckham shouted and jumped onto Tiger's back from behind, then waved his fists to the stands. Tiger smiled with a roar, carried Beckham with his backhand and walked up. After walking two steps, he felt that he was at a disadvantage. He thrust his waist and lifted Beckham down...
Ferguson waved his fist hard, and even he began to unable to contain his great excitement - the Champions League final is right in front of him! Ferguson has been a coach for more than 20 years, but he has never led the team to participate in the Champions League final!
"Next, prepare to start defending! Of course, it's up to you to counterattack, give me another goal!" Keane shouted with fists, although he knew that he was destined to miss the final, the Irish Irish iron man showed no regrets at this time!
Juventus launched a counterattack almost tragically, but Manchester United launched a tough block in the midfield. In the next twenty minutes, as long as they do not concede two goals, Manchester United will be able to enter the finals of the Champions League - the first time in thirty years!
Ancelotti made a desperate bet and replaced veteran Conte with the last striker on the bench, Fonseca, to strengthen the offense. However, it is obvious that stacking forwards on the court will not make the offense better. On the contrary, Juventus' offense has also fallen into chaos!
Ferguson replaced midfielder Blomquist with defender Borg to strengthen the defense. They only had twenty minutes to defend!
When the game reached the 85th minute, Tiger completely extinguished Juventus' last glimmer of hope!
Juventus, who was attacking heavily, left too many flaws in the backcourt. Beckham intercepted the ball and passed a long pass. York counterattacked and formed a single shot. Peruji, who attacked, had no choice but to knock York down. Just as the referee was about to blew the whistle of Peruji's foul, a figure followed from behind and received the ball and rolled out!
Tiger, who followed up, picked up this cheapness - the referee followed the principle of favorable offense and did not blew the whistle. Tiger easily dunked the ball forward, then pushed the ball into the empty goal with his right foot!
Four to two! A score that shatters all Juventus’ hopes!
This time, Tiger didn't seem so excited last time. He just raised his hands high and accepted the huge cheers from Manchester United fans!
"Another double score! This is Tiger's eighth goal in the Champions League! This has enabled him to beat a large number of famous players and become the second player in the Champions League scorer list, second only to Shepchenko, who was in excellent condition this season and scored eleven goals! But you know, he even played only two group matches! In the games he participated in, he scored goals every game, scored twice in three games, and scored eight goals in five games! This kind of goal efficiency is the first person in the history of the Champions League!"
The commentator put all the praise on Tiger, and Manchester United fans also cheered even more for Tiger. This player who was still playing in the League One last season was like a comet that emerged from nowhere, lit up Manchester United's Champions League road and brought great bad luck to all opponents who met them!
In legend, seeing a comet will bring disasters - Tiger did bring countless disasters, but the target is his opponent!
"How is it, I'm right? Believe me, Tiger, is the best equation to win!"
When the whistle at the end of the game sounded, Tiger roared to the sky, and then roared loudly with a ferocious face. He kept hugging his teammates and kept yelling these two sentences.
"That's right! Tiger, you are the best!" What he got was also the almost sincere answer from his teammates.
"Conquering Alp, next, we will conquer Camp Nou!" Beckham pointed his hands at the sky and shouted loudly - Camp Nou, the location of this season's Champions League final! At this moment, all Manchester United people only have this idea in their hearts! (To be continued.
