1046 What's wrong with being a green leaf?(1/2)
Old Trafford.
Manchester United and Juventus both starters made their debut together.
The coaches of the two teams stood on the sidelines with a serious expression.
Allegri enters Juventus again. Not to mention anything else, entering the quarterfinals of the Champions League is considered to be a result that holds the lower limit, but if you say that Juventus' pursuit is only the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the semi-finals of the Champions League, it is definitely not worthy of the status of a giant.
After entering the quarterfinals, he drew the defending champion Manchester United, which is considered a draw in Allegri's opinion.
Carrick's mentality has become much more mature.
After wading through the extremely dangerous Atletico Madrid level, I am really fearless of any opponent now.
Juventus?
The giants in Serie A can barely be regarded as top-level teams at the European level.
Red Devils fans created a terrifying cheering momentum at home.
Their mentality becomes even more relaxed.
In the eyes of Red Devils fans, there are no more than three teams that can compete with Manchester United for the Champions League championship, and there is obviously no Juventus here.
"Good evening for everyone, everyone. Welcome to the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals this season. The defending champion Red Devils Manchester United sits at home against Serie A giant Juventus.
Today, both Fleet Street and Italian media are looking forward to this competition with Ronaldo facing his old club.
As we all know, Ronaldo has not been able to lead Juventus to win any results in the Champions League stage in three years.
After Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, Italian media have repeatedly mentioned that he did not make positive contributions during his time at Juventus.
It doesn't matter whether right or wrong is right or wrong today.
C Ronaldo himself also expressed his opinion yesterday that he would not defend himself. All he cared about was talking directly with Juventus today and he wanted to win the game.
This is his best fight back as a player.
But I think in this series of public opinion hype, people may have overlooked the man who really plays a decisive role in the game.
Okay, now let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
Manchester United starts 433.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Luke Shaw.
Midfielder: Pogba, B Fee, Fred.
Forwards: Rashford, Ronaldo, Ye Yifeng.
Juventus' starting lineup is also 433.
Goalkeeper: Szczesni.
Defenders: Danilo, Bonucci, De Rigt, Sandro.
Midfielders: Bentancur, Locatelli, Rabiot.
Forwards: Bernardeski, Morata, Chiesa.
Juventus' winger has a lot of talents on the line, and Dybala may be used by Allegri as a surprise when sitting on the bench.
The ceremony before the kickoff has been completed, and now we will enjoy this Champions League quarterfinals together!”
Juventus took the lead in kicking off, and Manchester United was still cautious after the game started.
Italian teams have relatively alternative style characteristics in European football.
Without a real fight, you can't be sure that your opponent will use a chain defense defense, or pull the two wings at the width of the field to fly together or one-sided wings, or an unconventional radical offensive like Atlanta.
So there is nothing wrong with preventing one hand in a steady way.
Manchester United generally tends to seek stability, but the president is obviously aggressive in launching a counterattack in the frontcourt.
His pressing movements were not out of line, but his active running force brought great results to his opponent.
Rashford and Ye Yifeng naturally have to keep up, otherwise the president's efforts will be in vain.
Juventus was forced to speed up and launch a fast break. Locatelli, known as the last puzzle of Juventus champion, sent the ball diagonally to the left side of the frontcourt from behind the center circle.
Chiesa, the little one, cut in the dribble, and when Pogba was pulled down the ball and changed direction, it looked like something was wrong.
When B Fee returned to defend in time to press, Chiesa made a pass through into the penalty area.
Morata's running diagonally inserted into the left rib of the penalty area was blocked by Maguire. He then passed the ball back to try to find Chiesa who was inserted forward. As a result, Fred broke the ball first and went to the right.
Dalot controls the ball and Manchester United starts attacking.
Juventus formation is quickly recovered.
Manchester United's first wave of offensive organization is still seeking stability.
After the midfielder fell, Luke Xiao assisted and sent the ball straight to the left of the frontcourt.
Ye Yifeng's ball control and dribbling was nearly 10 yards, and after encountering Danilo and Bentankull who came to defend, he made a diagonal pass.
The old super giant took the initiative to take the ball in the center and rushed into the penalty area to face Bonucci.
Step on the bike in front of the opponent and then slid the ball and cut it across and shot.
Bonuchi decisively extended his legs and intercepted the ball to block it.
I thought the attack had ended, but after controlling the ball in the middle of the frontcourt, B Fei encountered Rabiot's pressing and directly knocked the ball back with his heel.
Pogba rushed forward and stopped the ball and adjusted, and passed the ball with a long diagonal pass outside the penalty area to the right.
After Rashford stopped the ball, he cut inside and forced the full-back Sandro back to the inside. He then changed the ball to the bottom and passed the ball in front of the bottom line.
When Ronaldo came to the goal to grab the point, Bonucci and De Rigt attacked at the same time. When competing for the high altitude ball, Bonucci had an impact and interference in the air.
De Rigt cleared the ball.
The old super giant fell to the ground and fell down after Bonucci's collision.
The referee naturally did not whistle.
Bonucci lowered his head and started to spray the old super giant.
C Ronaldo stood up and looked at Bonucci calmly. The opponent's aggressive appearance was obvious today that he would try to avoid being defeated by C Ronaldo's goal.
The old super giant retreated and defended.
He did not squirt with Bonucci, nor did he protest to the referee.
Juventus' frontcourt offense seems to be very average, and it is also a luxury to have explosive output in Serie A teams.
Bernardeski responded to Rabiot's pass from the right and pushed the forward dribbler for 10 yards. Facing Luke Shaw's defensive choice was coordinated with Morata, who took the initiative to respond, and then cut into the middle and sent a diagonal pass on the ground.
Chiesa Neiche broke into the middle area in front of the penalty area and dribbled into the penalty area.
Screw the ball in front of Varane and change direction, if it goes in the past, it will be a one-on-one strike.
Varane and Maguire closed the goal and successfully intercepted him.
Although the blasting was not successful.
But Chiesa is a type that is really rare in Italian football now.
Sometimes the data doesn't look great, and it's not hard to do anything to bring rewards. But the advantage of the striker is that he can fail countless times, and he can end his opponent with just one success.
Chiesa's enthusiasm for rushing hard is more alternative than too many forwards hiding and playing.
In the early years, Ye Yifeng was also of this type, especially after cheating, he used the ball hard.
These are young.
The main reason is that the opponent's blockade is too tight. Regardless of whether he will do it hard or not, the opponent will be strictly guarded. If you do it at this time, the profits are better than to form a restraining effect to improve the overall offensive threat and efficiency.
When the Champions League reached the quarterfinals, Manchester United's emphasis on defense has obviously improved.
Indicated by Pogba, the extent of B Fee's withdrawal and the decisiveness of the ball from the backcourt.
I won't risk playing with fire.
The old super giant is very active in the frontcourt, and Manchester United teammates are willing to make goals for him.
It mainly seems that he did run out of the free response.
It's just that Juventus' defense will not give him a great opportunity.
De Rigt, Bonucci and Bentankur took turns to press and intercept the old super giant.
Manchester United's offensive was very lively, but the president seemed to be unable to draw his sword in front of his old club to swing that fatal blow.
It seems that Juventus' defense has not had any major problems.
But no matter how Allegri looks at the game on the sidelines, he feels something is wrong and he is vaguely uneasy.
Did Manchester United play all the way around Cristiano Ronaldo as the core?
Obviously not!
In the 13th minute of the game, Chiesa Jr. successfully blasted Dalot from the left, and Pogba, who was filling up, collided and knocked down the opponent while intercepting outside the penalty area.
