Chapter 296 Goodbye Juventus
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Juventus players who had no way to shoot continued to physically collide with the Manchester United players like rhinos.

After being fouled by Conte consecutively, Beckham will make a frontal tackle, and the players from both sides will use this as a starting point to start a high-intensity confrontation.

The referee only showed one yellow card in the first half, and he showed three consecutive yellow cards in the first 10 minutes of the second half.

Then the fighting intensity of the two teams was not restrained by the referee's frequent cards, and the two sides launched the running and bombing tactics for the first time in the group stage.

In the 60th minute of the game, Lippi replaced the staggering Conte with Yugovic. This buddy became more and more active after the start of the second half. Both Scholes and Butt suffered from him successively.

Don't forget, though, that Manchester United come from the Premier League, a league of physicality and dangerous tackles.

Juventus want to play hard, so Manchester United will play hard with them.

As the confrontation escalated, both teams chose to stabilize the fence and then control the midfield, so the center became the main battlefield of the game.

Deschamps calmly dispatched, lifting weights as if they were light, Zidane's movements were gorgeous but not diminished in efficiency, Jugovic was extremely tough, and Di Livio was outstanding in tonnage.

Juventus fans think that this lineup is more than enough to face Manchester United's four 22-year-old midfielders, especially Scholes and Butt are like paper in their eyes.

As a result, after Scholes and Butt got tough, the Juventus players realized the true meaning of the Premier League without weak chickens.

Don't look at Bart's height is not enough, but the confrontation is overwhelming, it is simply a low-profile pickup truck, and it is a mess against Juventus players.

And Scholes is better than Bart, Zidane still wanted to play tricks in front of Scholes, but Jiangtou closed his eyes and shoveled it without thinking.

Zidane looked terrified and jumped high on the spot, but was shoveled into his shoe, turned 90 degrees in the air and landed with his face.

Landing head first, Zidane rolled continuously on the ground in pain, while his teammates watched with lingering fear.

Deschamps, who was closest to the incident, could see clearly that Scholes had the habit of closing his eyes and raising his feet very high.

It was Zidane who reacted just now and picked up a leg, otherwise a generation of masters will bid farewell to football.

Scholes' tackle also frightened Ferguson. He was not worried about the Frenchman's legs, mainly because if he made a solid tackle just now, Ginger Head would have won this year's Champions League.

Ferguson quickly replaced Scholes with Poboski, transferred Beckham to the middle, and continued to hedge.

Manchester United did not shrink the line of defense in the away game, but bravely fought against Juventus in the field, which was unexpected by everyone.

It stands to reason that as long as the Red Devils keep a draw in the away game, they will be satisfied. Sending their club home in the Italian way can also satisfy the emotional needs of the English.

But this is not in line with Ferguson's character, nor is it suitable for the characteristics of Manchester United.

With "Class 92" as the mainstay, the average age of the Manchester United team is at least 5 years younger than Juventus.

If Manchester United recovers, it is like a young boxer leaning against the fence to resist the opponent's attack with his hands.

When encountering an opponent at the level of Juventus, just defending but not attacking is waiting to die.

The old and strong Juventus player is like an experienced boxer. He may not move fast and punch frequently, but he punches to the flesh, and it is impossible to parry passively.

Therefore, Ferguson gave full play to Manchester United's physical advantages, and the players also strictly implemented the head coach's tactics, and continued to speed up in the second half.

Beckham had to fight until the last 10 minutes to reflect the advantage of Manchester United's immortality. Unexpectedly, Juventus suddenly entered the refractory period at 75 minutes. This situation will take at least 10 minutes to improve.

According to common sense, veteran teams like Juventus are full of experienced players. Even if they are not as physically fit as Manchester United players, they can maintain their physical fitness until the end of the game with experience.

But today is a life-and-death battle for Juventus, and a stable playing style will only waste time, so they spare no effort to fight against Manchester United at high speed on the field, preparing to crush the Red Devils in one breath.

They didn't expect that in less than one season, the psychological quality of Manchester United players had improved to a higher level.

Last season's Champions League final brought Manchester United players pain, but it also tempered their minds.

Manchester United's young players are still growing. After the baptism of the big scene and the erosion of time, they can calmly deal with any opponent.

Seeing that Juventus is exhausted, Manchester United's speed is still unabated, and this seasoned opponent cannot be allowed to get past the extreme of physical fitness so quickly.

The most hard-working player on the field is Poborski. He immediately started the acceleration mode after he came on the field. The Czech is now just a substitute for Beckham and a rotation player for Manchester United. He has to work hard to get more playing time.

And Giggs has been working hard. He still rushes left and right on the court, but in the eyes of his teammates, he is a bit too selfless today.

The Welsh winger's style is not like this in the past. As long as the football is in his area, he will basically clear the defenders and think about shooting first.

In this game, his intention to send a deadly pass for his teammates was very obvious, but it is a pity that Juventus's fence is firmly established, and his passes after breaking through are basically resolved by experienced Juventus defenders.

Seeing Beckham come to the middle, Giggs began to constantly seek to cooperate with his "god".

Two people who can pass through suddenly made a big wave on the left, and Juventus was basically suppressed in the half.

Lippi couldn't bear this at all. He replaced Inzaghi with Vieri, ready to attack the opponent's defense with a powerful striker.

But Ferguson responded faster. He replaced Bart with Johansen, who had excellent confrontation ability, in advance to deal with Vieri in advance.

Then he replaced Solskjaer with Husky, because Cole's state this season is overwhelming, and the combination of the two can be called black wind and double evil.

With the meat shield stance, Manchester United players are even more unscrupulous.

Ferguson just wanted to replace Heskey when the Juventus players were most vulnerable, and use a hammer to force open Juventus' gate.

Seeing that the home team was completely suppressed at halftime, some fans in the Alpi Stadium began to boo the home team.

Didn't you say it's time to burn the boat?How to be beaten by others.

Ferguson's attitude is very tough, that is, he wants to toughen Juventus at home and go home with victory.

Manchester United players still maintain a high rhythm, and the wide players produced by the English football assembly line finally exerted their advantages at this time.

Irvine, Gary, and Giggs are all good crossers. Poborski is not a vegetarian. Husky has almost grabbed all the spots. Juventus players can neither hit him nor jump up, and they are simply being manipulated.

If it weren't for Peruzzi's high and low blocks, Juventus' goal would have been contributed.

But what should come will come after all, and Manchester United ushered in a lore in the 86th minute.

Giggs continuously changed directions and passed Juventus' right back on the wing, while Di Livio was affected by his physical fitness and did not return to the defense immediately.

Giggs glanced at the center and quickly made a cross. Juventus' Ferrara desperately stuck to Heskey's body. The moment Giggs made the cross, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

And Montero simply knocked Cole face-to-face on the ground, and the players on both sides were completely confused in the middle.

Husky jumped high, and both Ferrara and Montero charged at him.

The football came, but everyone found that the cross did not look for Husky at all, and the football flew from his head to the back point.

Experienced Juventus players know that the latter point must be in trouble even if they don't turn around and look back.

But at this time, all they could do was pay attention, the football flew across the middle, and flew to the back point. Beckham and Juventus' left back rushed towards the goal at the same time.

The heartthrob was one step ahead, and the moment the football passed the goal, he jumped up and headed the ball towards the goal.

Peruzzi threw himself into the air desperately, all he can do now is to do his best and obey the destiny.

When there is nothing you can do, luck is often not very good.

The goal in front of Beckham was as wide as the ocean, and his header flew over the goal line, causing violent fluctuations on the back of the net.

1 to 0, Manchester United scored with a header at the last minute of the away game, only 90 minutes away from the regular end of the 3 minutes.

Juventus players began to inquire about the score of Paris, as long as the opponent did not win, they still had a chance.

Unfortunately, Paris scored a goal a few minutes ago, which means that Juventus will have to score 2 goals in the next time to have a chance to advance.

Beckham found that the Juventus players looked shorter, and the conceded goal just now destroyed their confidence.

Following the referee's three whistles, Beckham raised his arms high, with a proud smile on his face.

This is Manchester United's spring, this is Juventus' winter.

With Juventus out, neither of Italy's teams made it to the knockout stages.

The Manchester United players happily walked towards the visiting team's stand, thanking the fearless Manchester United fans who came from afar.Even though there are many fans of the home team, they have been bravely resisting the 4 Juventus fans wearing black and white striped shirts since the beginning of the game, and they have not lost the momentum in the slightest.

Beckham smiled and applauded the stands, and he was greeted with the same big smile.

He is Manchester United's top scorer, but it is a bit embarrassing that he has not been able to help the team score before, and now he finally broke zero.

Giggs is also very happy. With the goal just now, his assists rose to 6 times, only 14 times away from the goal.

While waving at the fans, he hugged Phil beside him. Unexpectedly, his hand stayed on the opponent's shoulder for less than 3 seconds before being knocked off with his hand.

Giggs turned around and saw Gary Neville looking at him unkindly.

"Gary, what's wrong with you?"

"It's not up to you to ask questions now, you have to answer my questions first."

It was impossible for Gary Neville to let the other party harm his younger brother, and now he wouldn't even let him touch him.

Beckham saw that Gary Neville and Giggs were arguing about something. These two people have always been amicable, so how could they have a conflict at this time.

What a headache.

In this way, Manchester United retreated at Juventus' home court, and by the way, invited their opponents out of the Champions League.

After the game, the English were elated. Beckham's dive to the top and his valiant appearance after scoring a goal appeared on the TV again. The moment he was caught by the camera made this handsome young man earn the title of "Golden Bomber".

The Manchester United team, which returned to England, became the target of the fans. They sent home the Champions League champion last season and avenged their defeat in the final.

Facing the media, Ferguson was not in the mood to smile: "The kids were very excited at the end of the game, but they were more or less exhausted from their faces.

The consumption of this game far exceeds that of the league, and we have to face Newcastle with physical fatigue. "

Back at the residence, Beckham wanted to share the good news with Old John as soon as possible, to make him feel uncomfortable.

But something miraculous happened. The autobiography, which was filled with the correspondence between the two, was refreshed and turned into a blank page.

He no longer has to worry about the embarrassment of having to cut off contact because of insufficient paper, and he suddenly feels that his little life is going well.
