Chapter 549 Execution

"Hello, audience friends, this is BT Sport, I'm your old friend Trike, and it's my old partner Nori who is explaining the game with me today."

"The game we are explaining to you today is the focus of the quarter-finals of the Champions League - Manchester United vs. Atletico Madrid at home. This year's Champions League quarter-finals may be the eight strongest teams in recent years, and Their catching and killing attracted the attention of fans-Chelsea vs. Barcelona when friends gathered, Bayern vs. Juventus in the Bundesliga and Serie A supremacy battle, defending champion Real Madrid vs. Bundesliga veteran Leverkusen, and then Manchester United vs. Madrid today. Competition."

At this time, the strong man Nori said very excitedly: "Among these games, what I am most looking forward to is the match between Manchester United and Atletico Madrid. The two teams were the champions of the Premier League and La Liga last season. and the coaches of the two teams are the most dazzling new star coaches in European football in the past two years, and the collision between the two of them is also expected; and the situation of the two teams in the league is not good , They almost have no hope of defending the league title, so the desire of the two teams for the Champions League is unmatched. Today's game will definitely be a collision of sparks and earth!"

Tricker looked at the information in his hands and explained to the TV audience the match list of the two sides: "Manchester United is still in the familiar 4-4-2 formation: the goalkeeper is Alisson, who plays in place of the injured De Gea; The defensive line is Smalling and Vidic partnering with central defenders, Alonso and Rafael are on the left and right; Kanter and Lampard are in the midfield, Mahrez and De Bruyne are on the left and right; the forwards It's Lewandowski and Griezmann. The seven substitutes are: Van Dijk, Jones, Carrick, Ashley Young, Valencia, Martial and Icardi."

"Since De Gea was injured, Manchester United has not even had a goalkeeper available. According to the "Sun" report, in the recent training period, Kintiger specially asked Van Dijk to practice goalkeeping for half an hour. It seems that Kintiger has done it. Well, if there is any special situation in Alisson, maybe Van Dijk will play as a temporary guest goalkeeper."

"And Atletico Madrid has also sent almost all of their main players. Although Atletico Madrid has a bad start this season and is currently only ranked No.3 in La Liga, they are still a strong contender for the Champions League. Today's striker combination of Atletico Madrid It is Mandzukic and Torres, the combination of these two has jointly contributed many wonderful goals recently, whether Manchester United can stop the attack of Atletico Madrid today, let us wait and see."

"Today, because of De Gea's injury, Alisson became Manchester United's starting goalkeeper. The young Brazilian was in a brave state in the last Manchester derby. I wonder if he can bring his good form to today? Atletico Madrid's starting goalkeeper It's Oblak, he and Alisson are both 22 years old, can the young Oblak help the team get out of Old Trafford?"

"With the whistle of the referee, the game begins!"

"It was Manchester United who launched the attack first, and Lampard is still the core of their midfield attack. This veteran has brought great vitality and help to Manchester United's frontcourt attack this season."

"Lampard and Mario Suarez collided! The 28-year-old Spaniard was knocked away by the 36-year-old magic lamp! Lampard proved with practical actions that he is still one of the best midfielders in Europe! "

"Lampard passed the ball to the front, and Griezmann continued to shake after receiving the ball, but Godin in front of him was unmoved! Griezmann forced an angle kick outside the penalty area! The ball was caught by Oblak Hug it! The strength and angle of this ball are average, and it has no difficulty for the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper."

"Atletico Madrid made a mistake in passing the ball near the midfield. Arda Turan's short pass was cut off by Alonso!"

"Alonso crossed the halfway line with the ball, Juanfran went up!"

"Alonso made two fake moves, neither of which could fool Juanfran. He decisively chose to cross at a 45-degree angle!"

"Lewandowski headed the goal in the penalty area! This header is powerful and goes straight to the right side of the goal!"

"Oblak threw the ball away! This goalkeeper, who just joined Atletico Madrid from Benfica last summer, told everyone with his actual actions that his transfer fee of 1600 million euros was worth it!"

"In the opening stage, Manchester United created consecutive chances to attack, but they all missed the goal. It seems that the protagonist of this game is Manchester United. They must want to use the home court advantage to win or even beat the opponent. Take the lead in the round.”

The home fans at Old Trafford cheered happily. They were very happy to see their team playing against the La Liga champions last season!The cheers were louder and louder.

Although the fans were very excited, Jin Taige frowning off the field.

The game has been going on for 20 minutes, and Manchester United has been pressing Atletico Madrid.Although it seemed that Manchester United had the upper hand in this game, and several excellent opportunities missed the goal, Kintag has already seen that the few opportunities just now were not very good opportunities at all.

The Atletico Madrid players chose their positions very well in this game. In the few opportunities just now, the Manchester United players passed the midfield, but they couldn't break through the last line of defense. Whether it was Godin or Juanfran, they were all staring at Manchester United. Players, so that they cannot get better opportunities to attack or pass, so the shots of Griezmann and Lewandowski just now were just thunder and rain, which looked very threatening, but they were far away from the goal.

Kintag looked at Simeone, who was sitting not far away, and he admired the young Argentine coach very much.

As a player, Simeone was known for his iron blood, mixed with cunning.In the 98 World Cup, he fell down just right, causing Beckham to be sent off; while in Lazio, his goals shattered Ronaldo's dream of the Serie A championship, and the aliens shed tears on Mea check.

And since coaching Atletico Madrid after retiring, he has injected iron-blooded spirit into this La Liga team.Atletico Madrid players' desperate fierce defense and army-like tactical execution are the biggest reliance on their rise in La Liga and Europe in recent seasons.

Coming to Old Trafford today, Simeone's team once again showed excellent overall coordination, making Manchester United's many attacks come to nothing.Although Manchester United's offense was fruitless, Atletico Madrid's offense has been unable to pose a threat to Manchester United's goal. Today, Manchester United's defense is protected by Vidic and Kanter's defensive axis, and it is like an iron wall, blocking all opponents. attack.

After 40 minutes of the game, the two sides still failed to rewrite the score...
