Chapter 791 Red Partner

Now 30 minutes have passed in the game, and the score between the two sides is still 0-0.

But there have been quite a few changes on the sidelines.

In the opening stage, Manchester United took the lead and attacked Inter Milan, putting Conte's team at a disadvantage.

In the 18th minute of the game, Conte made a tactical adjustment and boldly pressed forward, especially using the wing attack to seize the space behind the Manchester United winger after pressing forward, which caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United.

As a result, Manchester United is temporarily at a disadvantage.

Now, the two sides have returned to the stalemate stage.

Manchester United began to shrink appropriately and maintain a balance between offense and defense.

Inter Milan also maintained a three-line distance and continued to put pressure on the wing.

Soon, they received results.

In the 38th minute of the game, Inter Milan launched an attack from the left.

This time it was a quick push from left-back Bastoni.

This 21-year-old young defender is a super star recruited by Inter Milan at a high price.

He came from the Atlanta youth training camp and joined Inter Milan in 2017.

The transfer fee at that time reached an astonishing 3110 million euros.

You must know that he was only 18 years old at that time and had not even played a few Serie A games.

Under such circumstances, he can still have such a worth, which can only be attributed to his outstanding talent and potential.

And it turns out that he is indeed worthy of the price.

In the next two seasons, he was loaned back to Atlanta by Inter Milan, and then to Parma to gain experience in Serie A.

Returning to Inter Milan again, he has undergone a huge transformation.

Not only is the body stronger, but the technical level has also been greatly improved.

In the central defender position, strong pressing, excellent headers, and precise steals have become his signature.

Not only that, he often assists in attacks on the left wing and makes bold forward moves.

This makes Inter Milan's tactics richer.

And such technical characteristics are also the type that Conte likes very much.

In this game, Bastoni was behind and Ashley Young was in front. With the cooperation of two players who can attack and defend well, Inter Milan's attack and defense on the left side were quite sharp.

This time, Bastoni received the pass from the center. Instead of passing the ball out, he suddenly accelerated and sprinted with the ball!
Went along the left road!

James, who is closest to him, quickly grabs the ball!
But Bastoni directly rushed away from his defense!
In terms of speed, maybe James is stronger, but in terms of physical strength, he is not as good as Bastoni!

After crossing the midfield line, Fee B quickly took over to help defend!
Bastoni cut inside and made a fake move, but did not deceive B Fee.

Pulling aside again, Fee B followed closely.

Just pass the ball!
The ball was passed very accurately, looking for Ashley Young in front!

Ashley Young has just been running around, looking for opportunities to connect.

At this moment, seeing B Fee's marking and the assistance of his teammates in the middle, he simply ran forward, looking for an opportunity to tear through Manchester United's wing defense!

He found it!
Bastoni passed the ball over!

Ashley Young catches the ball!

At the same time, Manchester United's right back Wan-Bissaka has also arrived!

Quickly attack and never give Ashley Young a chance to continue attacking!

But this time, Ashley Young didn't intend to dribble past anyone!

Because the teammates in the middle have already reached their positions!
Pass the ball!

Cross at a 45-degree angle!
The location of Lautaro is very good!

He sprints quickly!
Rojo is watching closely from the side!
Lautaro suddenly ran sideways to the center!

It was obvious to him that the ball landed at a higher point, and he felt that he was not able to get to the front spot!

But with Maguire's defense in the middle, he was squeezed away!
But just because of this collision, Manchester United had a defensive loophole!
Rojo was restrained by Lautaro, and Maguire was hit by Lautaro again and was somewhat out of position.

At this time, Lukaku sprinted quickly and headed the ball towards the top! The location of the ball top is excellent!

And the distance was so close that De Gea had no chance to react!
He waved his arm reflexively, but it was of no use.

The ball hit the upper right corner of the goal hard!

"The ball went in!

"1-0!

“Inter Milan scored first!
"I thought Manchester United was not good at the beginning.
"Although the attack looked fierce, it had no effect.

“The forward players are too young and inexperienced!
"Look at Inter Milan, what a wonderful collaboration!
"Two wide players penetrated Manchester United's defense!
“The pass is accurate and the two strike partners work well together!

"Ashley Young's assist and Lukaku's goal!

“Excellent!
"Speaking of which, these two players were abandoned by Manchester United.

“Now they counterattacked and successfully scored!

"A pair of former 'red partners' teamed up to score the old club's goal!
"It would be a big joke if Manchester United lose the title because of this!

"hehe!"

Carragher's sarcasm was palpable, and he had now transformed into an Inter Milan fan.

Alan Shearer on the side also shook his head slightly: "Manchester United is indeed in trouble. Even though they attacked more times and scored more goals, they still didn't open the scoring and were scored first by their opponents. What a pity." The half is almost over and it will be difficult for them to play next.”

Indeed, it will be difficult to play next.

There are five minutes left before the end of the first half.

If you return to the locker room with a lagging score, the halftime break will be difficult, and the tactical arrangement for the second half will be even more troublesome.

Whether it is offense or defense, Solskjaer is under great pressure.

So next, Manchester United must equalize the score as soon as possible, and it is best to end the first half with a draw.

The game restarted, and Manchester United's misfortunes never come singly.

During the breakthrough on the right wing, James collided with Godin and fell to the ground.

After examination by the team doctor, he found that his ankle was injured and could not continue the examination, so he had to be substituted.

The Manchester United coaching staff on the sidelines became even more busy.

The Manchester United players who had just finished their warm-up were looked at by Solskjaer at this moment.

In the end, he chose Ighalo.

Under the current circumstances, adding a center to enrich the tactics may be effective.

James retired from injury, Ighalo came on to the center position, and Greenwood moved to the right to James' position.

The team still maintains the offensive momentum of the Trident.

Now it's a free kick for Manchester United.

It was Godin's foul just now.

Xia Xing stood in front of the goal, looking in the direction of the penalty area, thinking about how to deal with it.

This angle is too small and not suitable for shooting. Even if it is Xia Xing, there is no need to force it.

It's better to pass the ball.

But who to pass it to, this must be considered.

At this time, both Matic and B Fee came up, Maguire also rushed into the penalty area, and the striker trident was naturally waiting for opportunities in the penalty area.

Xia Xing backed away slowly and looked at his teammates running in the penalty area.

He made a gesture.

The teammates in the penalty area were stunned.

what's the situation?
Are you sure you want to play this way?

Can it be done? (End of chapter)
