Star Card System

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

However, there have been significant changes on the sidelines.

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

In the 18th minute of the game, Conte made tactical adjustments, boldly pressing forward, especially using the wing attack, grasping the gap behind Manchester United's wingers after pressing forward, causing Manchester United a lot of trouble.

In this way, Manchester United is temporarily at a disadvantage.

Now, the two sides are back to the stalemate stage.

Manchester United began to shrink appropriately to 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 on the left.

This time it was the rapid advancement of left-back Bastoni.

This 21-year-old young defender is a supernova that Inter Milan has dug up at a high price.

He came from the Atlanta Youth Training Camp and joined Inter Milan in 2017.

The transfer fee at the time reached an astonishing 31.1 million euros.

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

In such a situation, he can still have such a high price, which can only be attributed to his outstanding talent and potential.

And the facts have proved that he is indeed worthy of this price.

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

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

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

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

Not only that, he often assists in the attack on the left and boldly advances.

This makes Inter Milan's tactics more diverse.

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

In this game, there is Bastoni in the back and Ashley Young in the front. The two players who can attack and defend cooperated, and Inter Milan's left side offense and defense were quite sharp.

This time, Bastoni received a pass from the middle, and he did not pass the ball again, but suddenly accelerated and sprinted with the ball!

Going along the left road!

James, who was closest to him, quickly rushed up!

But Bastoni directly broke through his defense with force!

In terms of speed, James may be stronger, but in terms of physical strength, he is not as strong as Bastoni!

Rushed through the midfield line, B Fee quickly filled in to assist defense!

Bastoni cut inside and made a fake move, but failed to deceive B Fee.

Pulling to the side again, B Fee also followed closely.

Simply pass the ball!

This pass was very accurate, looking for Ashley Young in front!

Ashley Young had been running around, looking for an opportunity to connect.

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

He found it!

Bastoni passed the ball over!

Ashley Young received the ball!

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

Quickly rush up and never let Ashley Young have the opportunity to continue attacking!

But this time, Ashley Young did not intend to dribble past anyone!

Because the teammates in the middle have already run to the position!

Kick the ball!

Cross at a 45-degree angle!

Lautaro is in a good position at the front point!

He sprints quickly!

Rojo is on the side and closely guards!

Lautaro suddenly runs horizontally to the middle!

It is obvious that the ball lands high, and he feels that he can hardly compete for the front point!

But there is Maguire's defense in the middle, and he is directly squeezed away!

But it is because of this collision that Manchester United has a defensive loophole!

Rojo is restrained by Lautaro, and Maguire is hit by Lautaro again, and is somewhat out of position.

At this time, Lukaku sprints quickly and heads the ball!

The position of the ball is very good!

And the distance is very close, De Gea has no chance to react at all!

He waved his arm like a conditioned reflex, but it was useless.

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

"The ball is in!

"1 to 0!

"Inter Milan scored the first goal!

"I felt that Manchester United was not good at the beginning.

"Although the attack looked fierce, it had no effect.

"The strikers were too young and lacked experience!

"Look at Inter Milan, what a wonderful cooperation!

"Two wingers broke through Manchester United's defense!

"The pass was accurate, and the two strikers cooperated well!

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

"It was wonderful!

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

"Now they turned against each other and successfully scored!

"A pair of former 'red partners' teamed up to break the goal of their old club!

"If Manchester United loses the championship in the end, it will be a big joke!

"Haha!"

Carragher's sarcasm was beyond words. He had become an Inter Milan fan at this moment.

Alan Shearer on the side also shook his head gently: "Manchester United is indeed in trouble. They have more attacks and more shots, but they still haven't opened the scoring. It's a pity that the opponent scored first. The first half is almost over, and it will be difficult for them to play next. ”

It is true, it will be difficult for them to play next.

At this time, there are five minutes left before the end of the first half.

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

Whether it is attacking or defending, 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 resumed, and Manchester United suffered from more than one misfortune.

In the breakthrough on the right side, James collided with Godin and fell to the ground.

After the team doctor's examination, his ankle was injured and he could not continue to be examined, so he had to be replaced.

The Manchester United coaching staff on the sidelines became even busier.

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

In the end, he chose Ighalo.

In the current situation, adding a center forward to make the tactics more diverse may be effective.

James was injured and Ighalo came on to the center position, and Greenwood moved to the right to the position where James just was.

The team still maintained the offensive momentum of the trident.

Now it is Manchester United's free kick.

Just now it was Godin's foul.

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

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

It is better to pass the ball.

But who to pass to, this must be considered.

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

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

He made a gesture.

The teammates in the penalty area were stunned.

What's going on?

Are you sure you want to play like this?

Is it okay? (End of this chapter)
