host must win

Chapter 164
In the fast-paced transition between offense and defense, the game time passed extremely quickly.

Because both sides put their main energy into the offense, the defensive end is naturally slightly insufficient, so whenever one side attacks, it will cause danger to the opponent's goal.

In the 79th minute, there were dangerous situations in front of Manchester United. Nedved made a diagonal pass from the right. Del Piero appeared between Ferdinand and Gary Neville. He rushed to the top 7 meters in front of the goal, but the angle of his header was too right. , Carroll didn't even move, and blocked the ball directly.

The ball fell at the feet of Juventus captain Del Piero in the penalty area, but Piero couldn't kick the ball after getting it, so he had to knock the ball back to the edge of the penalty area.

Camoranesi received a return pass from Del Piero on the edge of the box, and a low shot with his left foot was blocked by the Manchester United defenders.

But the landing point is still under the control of Juventus. Nedved shot the ball from 20 meters away and did not hit the power. However, Del Piero headed forward from 9 meters in front of the goal, which changed the football slightly. run track.Fortunately, Carroll reacted quickly and confiscated the ball.

Withstood this wave of onslaughts from Juventus, Manchester United immediately went on the offensive.

In the 82nd minute, Beckham dribbled the ball laterally in the midfield, and Nedved tripped him with a side tackle. Beckham was not threatening at the time, but Nedved received a yellow card for this unnecessary foul.

The Czech can't afford to kneel on the turf, because even if Juventus can finally eliminate Manchester United, he will miss the final at Old Trafford.

………………

The game time passed by every minute and every second. Although the two sides played sparks on the field, they failed to rewrite the score on the field.

Seeing that the regular time was about to run out, the fourth official walked to the sidelines with the stoppage time sign, ready to play the stoppage time of the game.

It seems that the two sides are getting closer and closer to overtime.

This news is great news for Juventus.With the advantage of the home court, they undoubtedly have a great advantage in overtime.

The Juventus players wanted to slow down the game, use up the short period of stoppage time, and then start the final showdown with Manchester United in extra time.

To control the rhythm of the game, there is no need to desperately attack Manchester United's defense.

Not only Juventus players think so, their head coach is also making such preparations. He asked the team's veteran midfielder Conte to prepare to come off the bench.

………………

The Juventus generals all had the intention of fighting Manchester United in overtime. This subtle change in mentality was reflected in the game, that is, Tacchinardi, who took the ball in the midfield, faced Roy Keane. When he was entangled next to him, he hesitated a little.

It was this hesitation that caused the football under his feet to be broken by Roy Keane, and he himself staggered to the side.

The referee's whistle didn't sound, and Roy Keane made a very clean steal this time!

Scholes had been swinging his head from side to side to observe the situation before the ball changed hands, so when Keane snatched the ball, Scholes reacted - he quickly pressed forward and put his hands together Put it in front of you and gesture to Keane to let him pass the ball to you.

After Keane saw Scholes doing this after stealing the ball, he did not hesitate and stabbed the football directly.

Scholes, who received the ball, just crossed the center line, adjusted the football to his right foot, and passed it with his foot!
A long pass over the top and went straight to Juventus' penalty area!

………………

"Kean's beautiful steal, no foul! He handed the football to Scholes... Scholes received the ball and made a long pass to find... Yin Jun!!"

Amidst the narrator's shouting, and with the switch of the TV broadcast, everyone saw that at the front, the red figure with 28 on his back was speeding towards the Juventus penalty area, and behind him was almost The most important is Juventus' defensive general, Croatian central defender Igor Tudor.

Although Tudor's state in the past two years has been far inferior to that during the 98 World Cup due to injuries, his state is still good in this game. Yin Jun's sudden start did not escape his attention. When Yin Jun started, he quickly posted it, while the other Juventus players had just turned around and were about to run back.

It is very abrupt that these two people stand out from Juventus' defense.

While Yin Jun and Tudor stepped into the penalty area one after another, Juventus goalkeeper Buffon also decisively abandoned the goal and attacked.He wants to shorten the distance between himself and Yin Jun as much as possible, compress his shooting angle, and at the same time, under Tudor's front and rear pincers, completely ruin this wave of Manchester United's attack!
The long-distance Juventus players have given up chasing back. Obviously, they have no effect on this defense. They can only hope for Tudor and Buffon.

Also giving up the chase are most of Manchester United's players.The attack turned into Yin Jun entering Longtan alone. He didn't need their help, and they couldn't help much. He could only focus his eyes and hopes on that person.

………………

The Juventus fans and the few Manchester United fans in the stands opened their mouths wide. There were voices coming out of their mouths. On the court, the mind went blank.

On the sidelines, the benches and coaches' benches of the two teams were overcrowded. From the bench players to the coaches to the staff, everyone was crowded on the sidelines, moving in unison and turning their heads to look in the same direction.

The commentators on the commentary booth of the Alps Stadium have already stood up, their mouths are opening and deforming, but the sound has not yet come out from the depths of their throats...

Everyone in the Alpine Stadium is like a statue frozen in time and space.It seems that only the football in the air is the only object that can move normally in this time and space. It passes through nearly half of the field, then lowers its height, and falls towards the penalty area, as precisely as a guided missile!

Buffon was almost about to pounce in front of Yin Jun, but he didn't rush forward recklessly - he didn't want to give Yin Jun a chance to fall in the penalty area to cheat a penalty - but lowered his center of gravity, as if Lying on the ground like a civet, he opened his arms to expand the defensive area.

At the same time, Tudor, who was on the left side of Yin Jun, leaned his body towards Yin Jun, and raised his arms at the same time, telling the referee that he did not make any movements in his hands, and only relied on his body to squeeze Yin Jun.

At this moment, the football flew from behind Yin Jun's right side, passing through at about the height of his waist.

Yin Jun turned a blind eye to everything around him, his head swung with the football, and his eyes were always fixed on the ball.He lifts his right leg in a forward run and swings forward.
