Chapter 376 The Storm-Chasing Boy at Juventus Arena!

"Man City's No. 13 is from France, right?"

After accidentally discovering the gem of Kanter, Deschamps quickly confirmed to his assistant

The team Kanter played for was weak and ranked low, and he himself was not well-known before, so the French national team didn't know much about him.

The assistant checked the information for a while and then confirmed that the other party was really French.

"Very good. Let's add his name to the next national team training camp. We still need a defensive midfielder. He is the most suitable player for this position!"

Deschamps can't wait to see Kante perform in the national team. If he performs well, his ideal lineup will be almost formed.

…

In the second half, the game changed sides, and both Manchester City and Juventus chose to speed up the pace of the game.

Obviously, for both sides, they are not satisfied with the current score.

Juventus' offensive focus is on the wings on both sides. They frequently use the full-backs on both sides to form a siege on Manchester City's goal.

In the 58th minute, Juventus once again sent a cross from the left. Morata grabbed the spot, but his header was confiscated by Navas.

Manchester City immediately launched a quick counterattack, and the football was quickly passed to Lin Quan's feet. After evading Vidal's press, he dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

Chiellini immediately gave up on Aguero and rushed towards Lin Quan.

The two had played against each other in the Confederations Cup, and Chiellini failed to guard Lin Quan that time.

Chiellini learned from the previous lesson and did not rush forward. He just blocked his position and prevented Lin Quan from easily breaking through.

Seeing Chiellini restraining Lin Quan, Buffon gave a thumbs up to his teammates in his heart!

Well done, Giorgio!

However, Chiellini's blocking only delayed Lin Quan's breakthrough, but did not completely kill him.

After Lin Quan used a fake move to deceive Chiellini's center of gravity, he quickly moved the ball laterally.

David Silva just came over from the wing. Lin Quan used his body to isolate Chiellini's sight, passed the ball to David Silva in a very hidden way, and then quickly rushed forward, creating a The illusion that he wants to break through with the ball.

Chiellini was indeed fooled and quickly chased Lin Quan.

However, after he took two steps, he was horrified to find that the football was not at Lin Quan's feet?

Where is the ball?

Where did the ball go?

boom!

There was a muffled sound behind Chiellini, and David Silva took a decisive shot after seeing Lin Quan take away the defender.

The kick was very sudden, and Lin Quan and Chiellini happened to be in front of him to block the goalkeeper's sight. Therefore, when he shot, Buffon was not able to detect his movement immediately. .

However, Buffon deserves to be the best goalkeeper in the world!

His excellent position selection allowed him to still make effective saves after Silva completed the shot.

The ball was saved!

Juventus fans breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Buffon save the opponent's shot.

When Lin Quan dribbled the ball in their penalty area just now, he really scared them.

Fortunately, Chiellini was very defensive and did not give Lin Quan a chance to shoot.

If the person who shot this time was Lin Quan, the final result would be hard to say.

Seeing Buffon save his shot, David Silva shook his head in disbelief.

He thought the ball would definitely go in, but he didn't expect the opponent to save it.

Really worthy of Buffon!

After escaping the disaster, Juventus immediately responded.

The attack is still launched from the wing, and the ball is still passed into the penalty area, allowing the forwards to grab points.

Compared with Manchester City, their offensive tactics appear relatively simple.

This is not to say that Allegri only knows this trick. In fact, he has other offensive tactics in his hands.

But these tactics are not effective at all when facing Manchester City, because the opponent's midfielder is too capable.

Manchester City's two midfielders in this game are Fernandinho and Kante. Both of them are defensive midfielders, with a very wide sweep range and strong defensive capabilities.

Nine out of ten times Juventus' attacks from the midfield were disrupted by these two, so they had to rely on attacks from the wings.

However, with the two defensive midfielders contracting for protection, Juventus's full-back can only dribble the ball down to the bottom and cannot cut inside to form a shot.

Such an underpass seems to have a good chance, but under the tight surveillance of Manchester City players, their offensive efficiency is extremely low, and they can only return without success again and again.

Juventus' offense was ineffective, and Manchester City's offense was equally difficult to penetrate the opponent's defense.

Serie A teams are very good at defense, and three of the opponent's four midfielders are players with strong running ability and wide coverage.

This resulted in Manchester City also being unable to take advantage in the midfield, and both sides had to rely on the wings for their offense.

But the difference is that both Manchester City wingers have the ability to cut inside and shoot, but Juventus does not.

Therefore, as the game progressed, Manchester City's offensive threats from the wing became more and more serious, and the situation gradually began to turn against Juventus.

In the 71st minute of the game, Manchester City launched another counterattack. After Lin Quan and De Bruyne completed a collision with the wall, they dribbled the ball inward.

This time he didn't give Chiellini a chance to defend himself. Taking advantage of Chiellini's opportunity to defend him, he suddenly accelerated and made a fried meatball that was extremely fast, passing the opponent and entering the penalty area.

Lin Quan glanced in the direction of the door, raised his foot and shot.

It's time to test Buffon!

He judged the direction of Lin Quan's shot and jumped out decisively.

However, when Buffon made a save, the football hit Bonucci's leg, refracted, and flew into the goal from another direction.

Buffon was stunned!

Bonucci was also stunned!

Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, but after seeing the football roll into the net, he ran along the field.

"Well done!"

On the sidelines, after seeing Lin Quan dribbling the ball into the penalty area, Guardiola clenched his fists and raised them nervously.

It wasn't until the moment he saw Lin Quan score the ball that he roared and waved his fist excitedly.

This away goal is crucial for Manchester City. With this away goal, they have an advantage in the two rounds and their probability of advancing to the semi-finals is greatly increased.

There is not much time left in this game. If Juventus cannot equalize the score, then Manchester City's probability of advancing is probably more than 70%!

"Attack, attack with all your strength!"

The opponent's goal made Allegri a little crazy. This is their home court and Juventus absolutely cannot accept the result of losing at home.

So they have only one option next, and that is a life-threatening attack!

Facts have proved that this Juventus team is still very capable.

After all, she can lead the team to the Champions League final and play against Barcelona, ​​which owns MSN. The old woman's strength should not be underestimated!

After they launched an all-out attack, the entire Manchester City team immediately felt tremendous pressure.

The opponent's offense has become more determined, the fighting has become more fierce, and even fouls have become more decisive.

After all, Manchester City's players had just experienced the Manchester Derby, and coupled with the fatigue of the journey, their physical energy was exhausted.

After more than seventy minutes of intense competition, the players' physical fitness declined significantly.

The impact of this is that Manchester City's ability to control the midfield begins to weaken.

After Juventus gradually took control of the midfield, Pirlo's performance began to come alive.

In the 75th minute, Pirlo seemed to have just woken up. After looking up at the positions of the players on both sides of the frontcourt, he sent a long pass.

This ball is very creative. Morata has a high IQ. After understanding Sleepy's intention, he quickly stepped in from behind and caught the ball before the defensive player.

He accelerated, broke into the penalty area and formed a single shot.

Navas sensed the danger the moment Pirlo passed the ball and immediately made the decision to attack.

His decision saved the team!

Facing Navas' attack, Morata didn't have much time to handle the ball. He could only hand the ball to his left foot and try his best to aim at a place where Navas couldn't pounce.

If it were an ordinary person, this ball would probably be difficult to handle.

But Morata's left and right feet are very balanced and there is no inverse foot.

The shot he completed with his left foot was extremely threatening. Navas fell to the ground and made a save, but failed to touch the ball.

But Morata pursued the angle too much, and his shot almost missed the post.

There was a sigh from the scene, and the Juventus fans collectively held their heads, with expressions of annoyance and disbelief on their faces.

When Morata saw that the ball did not go in, he knelt down in the Manchester City penalty area, hunched over and beat the lawn in annoyance, as if blaming himself for pursuing the angle like this!

From behind, Pirlo couldn't help but shook his head when he saw Morata missed the shot.

At this moment, he misses his former teammates in Milan.

Although they both wear the No. 9 jersey, there is a big difference between No. 9 and No. 9.

It seems that Morata is not the only one who forgot to bring shooting boots. It can even be said that Morata's performance is the best one.

In the 81st minute, Tevez got a solo shot, but Navas fell to the ground and saved his shot.

In the 83rd minute, Pogba's long shot from outside the penalty area went over the crossbar.

For a time, there was a situation on the court where Juventus besieged Manchester City's goal.

It's just a pity that they couldn't score when they were in a good position. The players failed to seize the good opportunities again and again, constantly wasting opportunities and failing to change the score.

After Guardiola saw the physical problems of his players, he made decisive substitution adjustments.

In the 78th minute, he replaced Aguero with Fernando to further strengthen the defense in the midfield.

In the 81st minute, he replaced the exhausted De Bruyne with Milner.

In the 87th minute, Guardiola replaced Kompany with Rudiger.

After continuous substitutions, Manchester City's defense gradually stabilized.

In the face of the opponent's fierce attack, Manchester City is as tenacious as a rock under the wave. No matter how windy or rainy you are, I will remain unmoved.

Juventus's attacks failed again and again, and the game time passed little by little.

The mentality of their team members also began to become more and more anxious.

The first round of the game is about to end. If they don't score, they will not only lose this game, but even lose the hope of advancing.

As a result, except for the goalkeeper, all their players passed the half, further increasing the intensity of the attack.

Facing the old woman's crazy attack, Kanter's defensive performance was extremely eye-catching.

In battles with Pogba, Vidal, Pirlo and others, he frequently performed magical steals.

Especially Pogba, although he has returned to action, his injury has not completely healed, which has a great impact on his condition.

However, the opponent is an extremely difficult character, and he will be caught by the opponent if he makes the slightest mistake.

On the sidelines, Guardiola saw Kanter's outstanding performance and admired him more and more.

What a gem. With such a strong defensive foundation, if he can be trained more and develop his offensive ability, he will be the mainstay of Manchester City's future midfield!

Not only Guardiola feels this way, but Deschamps, the coach of the French team, is also about to see his eyes straight.

too strong!

It's really too strong!

Is this really a player excavated from a relegation team?

Why had I never discovered his talent before?

Deschamps couldn't help but reflect on himself. Most of the French team's international players were selected from their home leagues.

Therefore, he has watched a lot of games in Ligue 1 and even Ligue 2, but he has not found a talent like Kanter.

This is simply a dereliction of duty on his part!

Thinking of this, Deschamps couldn't help but admire Guardiola.

The other party must have played in French Ligue 1 less often than he has, but the other party was able to discern Kante's extraordinary qualities and brought him to the Premier League to give him a stage to display his talents.

With such vision and courage, you are truly a role model for our generation!

Deschamps feels that after this game is over, he can use the excuse of going to Manchester City to inspect the players and take the opportunity to have a good communication with Guardiola.

Although the Germans seem to be disdainful of Guardiola's methods, they are still trying to bring order to the chaos.

But Deschamps is very interested in this. As a neighbor of Spain, the French are deeply impressed by the power of Spanish football.

In the second minute of injury time, Kanter once again stole the ball from Pogba.

After stealing the ball, he had no time to observe the position of his teammates and kicked the ball forward as if making a clearance.

The opponent's attack was too fierce, and he just wanted to make a big clearance to let his teammates breathe a little.

However someone had different ideas!

A figure accelerated towards the direction of the football, and the speed was getting faster and faster!

After seeing the opponent's jersey number clearly, the Juventus fans let out bursts of exclamations!

"Stop him!"

"Quick foul!"

"We can't let him pass!"

The person rushing towards the football was none other than Lin Quan!

At this time, except for the players who had just been replaced by the two teams, the physical energy of the starting players was almost exhausted.

Only Lin Quan has such abundant physical energy to carry out such a sprint!

Seeing Lin Quan rushing towards their own court, the Juventus players were so frightened that they gritted their teeth and retreated desperately.

On Manchester City's side, Milner and Fernando, who came on as substitutes, had the most energy. They also rushed up from behind at a sprint speed of 100 meters.

Regardless of whether this attack can be successful or not, they must rush forward to meet Lin Quan.

However, it doesn't take that many people to resolve the battle.

Lin Quan alone is enough!

For Juventus, the person closest to the ball is their goalkeeper Buffon.

Buffon did not choose to retreat and return to the small penalty area to defend the goal. Instead, he chose to rush towards the football.

At this time, he is closer to the football than to the goal. If he retreats, it may be too late. If the opponent receives the ball and then launches a long-range lob, Juventus' goal may be in danger.

And rushing towards the football, there is still a chance to destroy the ball before Lin Quan!

As a result, two galloping figures appeared on the field. Manchester City's forward and Juventus' goalkeeper were engaged in a life-and-death race!

Buffon is closer, but his start time is later than Lin Quan.

The two raced quickly to determine the winner. Lin Quan got ahead of Buffon and kicked the ball forward. Then he bypassed Buffon and did not give the opponent a chance to foul. He continued to run wildly, chasing the ball. To football.

The Juventus Arena was silent, and the tens of thousands of fans at the scene fell into a deathly silence. Many people even closed their eyes in pain, not daring to see what was going to happen next.
