Chapter 66 Martial
In the 71st minute of the second half, the score was still 2-2. Kintag made a second substitution adjustment. He replaced Nani, who had been doing nothing throughout the game, and replaced him with Martial.

Within five points, Martial made two consecutive threatening attacks, one shot and one pass, which immediately made Leverkusen break out in a cold sweat!
At this time, all the Manchester United fans became excited and cheered loudly for the team.With Martial's surprise attack, Manchester United's offensive is back, and all the fans are excited. They are eagerly looking forward to Kintag's victory in the first Champions League game of the new season.

Even Trick and Norrie in the BT Sport broadcast room were full of praise.

"I thought there was a problem with Kintag's substitution adjustment just now, but after seeing Martial's 5-minute game, I was completely convinced. I think Leverkusen should now take a good look at the goal of this game, yes Continue to let the frontcourt players find opportunities in the United half, or fall back to the defense? Is it enough to win a point, or risk losing to go for three points?"

"I think not only Leverkusen is panicking now, Nani on the bench should also think about his future. Compared with Martial, Nani only has an advantage in age and experience, but look at Martial. How does he look like a new player who has just joined Manchester United? How does he look like a young player who is playing in the Champions League for the first time? If he can maintain this state, I believe Kim Tiger will definitely reconsider his starting list."

In fact, before the game, Kintegger was also a little worried: this game is not only for Martial, but also for the first time for Kanter and Mahrez to participate in the Champions League. Can they play their best form? ?
But after the test of most of the game, Jin Taige is completely relieved. Although Kanter has some knee discomfort today, his defense is still stable; Mahrez on the left is the most active player in the audience. He blasted away the opponent's goal with a long shot; Martial, who he had just replaced, dribbled on the wing and cut inside. Kintag seemed to see the young gunman Henry, and he felt that Martial Shades of the King of Highbury.

Martial is different from Nani. His dribbling is more delicate and his speed is faster. Since he came on the field, the entire right side of Manchester United has been completely activated by him. Rooney has also started to approach the right side to meet Martial you.

Not only that, because of Martial's fierce offensive on the right, the pressure on Mahrez on the left suddenly decreased a lot. At this time, Leverkusen put the main energy on the right of Manchester United, and some ignored the left. Mahrez.Since the second half, Mahrez was suppressed by Leverkusen's defense and his performance was not as outstanding as in the first half.

Leverkusen's trident wanted to relieve the defensive pressure through offense. Sun Xingmin wanted to try to break through Kanter, but Kanter predicted the ball's route in advance and blocked the ball.Without hesitation, he made a long pass in front of the penalty area and went directly to Martial in front.

"It's Martial again, here he is again!"

"It was Martial's third chance since he came on, he went down the wing and Leverkusen's three defenders were already in position to block his passing."

"What will Martial do with the ball now?"

"Wide movement! Martial crosses the ball to the left!"

"Mahrez got the ball! Mahrez, who had been marked for the whole second half of the game, broke out again, and he broke through the baseline! He kicked, passed a half-high ball, and looked for Van Persie in the penalty area!"

"Van Persie shot! Goal!!! Goal!!! Van Persie scored his second goal of the game, Manchester United regained the lead 3-2!"

"This semi-high-altitude ball is very difficult to handle. It is difficult for ordinary forwards to hit the goal directly, but Van Persie is standing in front of Manchester United! Last season's Premier League Golden Boot, a world-class striker! He just volleyed and went straight. Dead corner, Leverkusen goalkeeper did not react!"

"Now the advantage of the score is back to Manchester United!"

The fans in the audience suddenly boiled, and in the 78th minute of the game, Manchester United regained the lead.The fans cheered and applauded. They shouted Van Persie's name and immediately fell into an atmosphere of joy.

At this time, Jin Taige on the sidelines was also very excited. He, Scholes and Phelan cheered and hugged together.

Phelan yelled, "Tiger, we're ahead again! Robin is great!"

Scholes was also extremely excited: "Mahrez's pass is just right, and Martial's transition ball is the finishing touch!"

Van Persie rushed to the sidelines and hugged Kintag, and Kintag shouted to him: "This is not safe enough, make another one!"

"Okay, boss!" Van Persie ran back to the field with a smile. When passing by Martial, Van Persie patted Martial on the shoulder, "The ball transitioned well just now!"

Hearing Van Persie's praise, Martial smiled a little shyly, without the arrogance and fierceness of the breakthrough just now.

Two minutes later, Kintag played his third card: Ashley Young replaced Mahrez, who was a bit overstretched, and continued to strengthen the offensive on the left.

Next, Kintag asked Giggs to completely retreat to the same position as Kanter, and fully participated in the defense. Now there are more than ten minutes left in the game. Whether he can score again at this time is secondary, but it must Make sure the team doesn't lose the ball.

Then, Kintag let Rooney move back to the front midfielder to take on the task of organizing the attack just now from Giggs. At this time, Manchester United's 4-4-2 balanced formation at the beginning became more defensive. In some 4-2-3-1, only Van Persie is in front.

In the 85th minute of the game, Manchester United scored again.This time it was Martial’s opportunity to create consecutive breakthroughs. He passed the ball to Rooney at the top of the penalty area. Rooney shot from a long distance without stopping. Of course, Van Persie will not waste this good opportunity.
