Chapter 696 Suspense
In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Manchester United trailed Bayern 0-1 in the first half. At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United continued to attack Bayern's goal.

Manchester United's offensive is obviously stronger, but their defense is still fierce.Nemanja Vidic's defense against Robben and Franck Ribery became more aggressive, which was also Kintag's instruction.These two players are both old, and their physical fitness is a big problem. In addition, they have old injuries, so they are at a disadvantage in physical confrontation.

And because of Robben and Ribery's pressure, they left a large gap behind them; and Bayern midfielders Schweinsteiger and Douglas Costa also often moved around Manchester United's penalty area. Therefore, there are actually many opportunities for Manchester United in the frontcourt.

Kroos' performance in this game was very eye-catching. He has been in good form recently, and facing his old club, he wants to perform even better.He passed the threat ball many times.However, in this game, Lewandowski and Griezmann fell into the opponent's tight defense and did not get a good chance.

But even though Manchester United stepped up their offensive frequency, they still haven't been able to break through Bayern's goal.

Now that the game has progressed to the 62nd minute, Jin Taige on the sidelines is a little anxious.He made a substitution adjustment: he replaced De Bruyne with Fekir, and continued to strengthen the breakthrough ability of the wing.

De Bruyne was in a mediocre state in this game. His many attacks on the right were suppressed by his opponents, and Alaba, who was facing him, was very fast. De Bruyne suffered a bit.

As a result, Manchester United's Mahrez and Fekir also began to fly on both wings. Both of them are players with excellent speed and dribbling. They continued to attack Bayern's defense.

In the 76th minute of the game, Fekir's breakthrough got a chance. Manchester United got a free kick from the right side of the penalty area. The ball was about 25 meters away from the goal, but the angle was too small, and the possibility of direct attack was too small .

Manchester United's offensive players all rushed into Bayern's penalty area, and even Van Dijk pushed forward, waiting for a header.The ball was taken by Kroos.

Alonso was beside Kroos, he looked in the direction of the goal: "It is really difficult to shoot directly, it is better to pass the ball."

Kroos also nodded: "You are right. The Bayern players focus on Lewandowski and Van Dijk. I am going to pass the ball to the front point and let Griezmann attack the goal."

"Well, not bad, how do I cooperate?" Alonso asked.

In internal training, although Alonso's set-pieces are also very good, in the entire Manchester United team, Kroos's set-piece skills are definitely second to none. Even De Bruyne and Griezmann have excellent shooting skills. The players also admire Kroos very much. Since the German is on the court, he must take the penalty.

Kroos thought for a while: "You just need to stand next to the ball... stand on the right side, and also put on a posture that is ready to attack the goal directly with your left foot, and then when I run past, you quickly retreat."

"understand!"

At this time in Bayern's penalty area, Lahm is organizing his teammates to establish a defensive formation: "You set Lewand and Van Dijk, they are the key targets; don't relax against De Bruyne and Valencia; Costa, you go Riyad Mahrez was defended on the edge of the box, he moved outside the box to prevent his ball from long shots..."

After the overall arrangement, Lahm focused on Griezmann who was at the front.He is very aware of Griezmann's characteristics: flexible, elegant.This kind of player is likely to catch the ball suddenly and shoot at the front point.

Ram stared at Griezmann, and Kroos sank in his heart: It seems that this ball is very difficult.

At this time, the referee blew his whistle and signaled Cross to make a free throw.

Kroos took a few steps back, he moved forward slowly, faster and faster, but when he was three or four steps away from the ball, he suddenly saw Neuer's position.Kroos's heart moved: Since Griezmann is being watched, then I can take a risk and try to attack the goal directly!

Thinking of this, Cross immediately changed his mind...

"Manchester United's free kick this time is in a good position. Although there is no way to shoot directly, the chance of passing the ball is good. Now several of Manchester United's high points are waiting in the penalty area to grab points. This may help Manchester United score a goal."

"Kroos starts backing up, run up!"

"Alonso is also looking at the penalty area. He swung his left foot. Could it be that he will directly attack the goal?"

"Alonso out of the way! Kroos passes the ball... no, shoots! Goes in!!!"

"No one thought that Kroos would shoot directly from a very small angle! The ball went into the far corner! Neuer was stunned in front of the goal!"

"The Manchester United players hesitated for a moment, then rushed to Kroos, hugged him and celebrated the goal!"

"1 to 1! Manchester United scored a key goal! Kroos' performance is too good!"

Jin Taige on the sidelines jumped up excitedly!This goal is too critical!

Being able to equalize the score in the away game, and also scored a valuable away goal, this has a great advantage for the second round of the game!

Kintag looked at Kroos on the court, his eyes full of appreciation.But when Cross came out of the crowd at this time, he didn't have the slightest joy on his face.Not only did Kroos not feel very happy about breaking the goal of his old club, but he was a little depressed...

After celebrating with his teammates, he ran back to his place along the sidelines.But when he passed the area where the Bayern fans were loyal, he suddenly heard a burst of applause.Kroos looked up, and it turned out that the loyal Bayern fans were applauding him.

Hearing the applause from the stands once again, Kroos's eyes were a little wet, he put his hands together, and bowed to the Bayern fans to express his apology.His move won more applause for himself.

Kroos lowered his head and silently returned to his own half.

At this time, not far away, Rooney was looking at Kroos, and he thought to himself: When I return to Old Trafford in a few days, can I hear the applause from the fans of the home team like Kroos? ...

In the following time, the head coaches of the two teams changed their players to fight for the final victory.Guardiola was very dissatisfied with this result, and Kintag also hoped to get more away goals, so both sides attacked very fiercely in the last period.

However, until the end of the game, the two teams did not break each other's goals again.

1 to 1!The final score of the game is fixed here.

The suspense of the Champions League semi-finals continues. Whether Manchester United is better or Bayern continues to move forward, all the suspense will not be revealed until the next round of the game!
