622. first ball

In the subsequent games, Manchester City gradually grasped the initiative in control, and the ball possession rate began to rise steadily. Because it was the final, Manchester City players could not ignore the risk of being beaten to counterattack. Therefore, when Juventus retreated completely, Manchester City could only play positional battles and attack.

At this time, Juventus's defense with iron walls began to show its power. They were very tough and their defense was compressed very flat. However, this cross was not too powerful. Dzeko was suppressed, and Suarez did not get any good opportunities. Of course, there was no problem with Manchester City's defense. Juventus' problem was that it was going to extremes. Too many people were invested on the defensive end, resulting in the counterattack being unable to be played. Tevez had gotten one or two goals, but was quickly broken by Manchester City.

Wen Sheng was thinking hard on the sidelines. This battle is really hard to fight.

In this situation, he can only maintain patience and should not make tactical changes easily.

In the eleventh minute, Manchester City finally had a good opportunity.

On the left side, Hills, Silva and De Bruyne made wonderful cooperation. First, Hills passed the ball to Silva and continued to go down the bottom. Silva then inserted the ball into De Bruyne. After De Bruyne took the ball, he suddenly plugged the ball into the left side again.

Lichsteiner had been staring at Hills all the time, and Silva did not pass the ball to Hills, which made him and Hills slow down at the same time. However, Hills paused for a moment and suddenly stepped forward again. Manchester City had a good understanding this time, and De Bruyne also accurately and timely split the ball.

Lichsteiner couldn't catch up if he wanted to start chasing Hills. After Hills used his speed to throw away Lichsteiner, he did not rush to cross, but chose to cut inward and attract Barzali to come. He chose to cross at this time. Suarez ran to the exact position like a wry leg and shot. The ball shot out like a cannonball. Unfortunately, there was a great god in front of Juventus' goal, his name was Buffon.

Buffon fell to the ground quickly and magically blocked Suarez's close shot.

The scene looks quite dangerous. If Buffon is not in a good position, he will definitely score. If Suarez can shoot in the upper part of the goal, he may also score, but this kid didn't do that!

Wen Sheng hugged his head regretfully. Damn, this ball is so lucky.

Suarez was even more regretful. The choice in front of the door was in a moment, and a mistake would lead to eternal regret.

There was a burst of exclamation in the stands. This was the best opportunity for Manchester City to play for more than ten minutes. In total, Manchester City only completed two shots, once, now!

"Is there any way to limit their full-backs?!" After the shocking scene, Allegri sat back on his coaching seat and asked assistant coach Alessio.

Angelo Alessio did not answer this question. Hills was very young and had been famous in European football for a long time. She was young and in her age, and was very fast. Like the kind of person who just now had a deep retreat, it would be difficult for Lichsteiner to withstand Hills' impact unless she retreated deeply.

"Strength shots! Strengthen long shots!" Wen Sheng conveyed his instructions to his players on the other side. Now this control-type play reduces the threat from Juventus, but at the same time, Manchester City's offensive efficiency is also very low.

Wen Sheng had known the difficulty of this game for a long time, and he estimated that his opponent would shrink. However, in the locker room before the game, he encouraged everyone not to play according to the routine and strengthen long-range shooting. Now Manchester City players are as crazy as if they were to penetrate the opponent through short passes. This is not in line with Wen Sheng's arrangement before the game. The effect is not good now. Wen Sheng thought about it and still hoped that the players could make some changes.

"With so many stars, it's time to stand up!" Wen Sheng thought so.

Whether it is De Bruyne, two full-backs or midfielders, they actually have a long shot, and Suarez can do it too.

Manchester City's active pursuit of tactical breakthroughs changed the situation on the court, and both sides gradually began to create opportunities, and of course, few shots were finally completed.

As time came to the 31st minute, Juventus launched a positional attack. Their midfielder Vidal made a mistake in passing and was intercepted by Casemiro. Manchester City quickly launched a counterattack. Manchester City's advantage came out at this time. The fast-speed full-back Hills and Walker were inserted at the same time. De Bruyne and others were inserted in the middle. The ball was transferred to Suarez on the left. After Suarez dribbled the ball, Barzali did not dare to force him too close. Although he delayed Suarez's rhythm, he could not resist Manchester City's courage. There were too many people involved. Soon, a gap was formed in the middle. Suarez passed the ball to De Bruyne and tried to hit the wall. But at this time Pirlo finally caught up behind him and pulled De Bruyne with his hands. Fortunately, although De Bruyne fell, Fernandinho took the ball away.

This Brazilian strongman dribbled the ball for a few steps and faced the situation of the three top two without passing the ball at all, so he directly chose to shoot from a long time!

I have to say that his choice is terrible and his shooting is pretty bad!

But something magic happened in an instant. Bonucci intercepted him. The ball changed the line on Bonucci's leg and turned a corner, refracted from Buffon's reverse side and into the net!

No matter how you say it is all luck!

Manchester City fans burst into deafening cheers, Wen Sheng was a little confused, and after watching for a few seconds, he realized that he would celebrate with the people around him.

Fernandinho didn't know that if Dembele was not injured in this game, he might not be able to start. Overall, Fernandinho is very fierce on the defensive end, but his contribution on the offensive end is not as good as Dembele.

Fernandinho was surrounded by Manchester City players before he could move, and everyone congratulated him.

Allegri's brows frowned, the story is not fun now!

This offense largely exposed Juventus' flaws. They cannot invest too many people in positional battles because their speed of return to defense is really not very fast. For example, this goal, to put it bluntly, they invested too many people in positional battles and lacked people to protect Pirlo. Pirlo's speed is slow, and once they are counterattacked, it will be bad immediately. Although he tried his best to foul, it could not withstand the number of people in Manchester City.

Judging from Juventus' Champions League this season, their offense is often completed in just three to four players, and they don't need too much support from the backcourt. Of course, playing as a weak team is naturally a different scene. The mistake they made just now was to accidentally treat Manchester City as a weak team! Who would have thought that Manchester City's counterattack was so firm?!

"Don't take it seriously! Time still has! Bear it, this is not the end of the world!" Buffon lost the ball unjustly. According to the shooting path, he intercepted it was not a big problem, but Bonucci's troublesome kick made him useless. He even regretted that he should yell at me!
Chapter completed!
