Chapter 308: Futility!

It is inevitable that Sarri let Insigne be his backup plan!

Insigne is a player who plays on the court as a winger, but his speed is not very fast. He is a player who has strong rhythm change ability and is good at playing football with his head. He is also good at finding opponents' defensive weaknesses and organizing his teammates to use it.

From this point of view, Insigne is not the winger, but the midfield commander. However, his organizational ability is not that meaningful. Instead, playing the role of organizer on the wing can often play a good role.

Sarri used to put Insigne on the court to find his opponent's weaknesses, but in this game he put Insigne off the court in order to allow him to find Manchester United's defensive weaknesses as a bystander as soon as possible.

But now... the game has only been playing less than twenty minutes, and the team is two goals behind!

That's a hell!

If this continues, if the team concedes another goal, there is no need to wait for Insigne to play, and the outcome of the game will be revealed.

Now Sarri is really in his throat. He still trusts Insigne's ability to read games, but... the defense line he trusted very much before was in front of his eyes. Can the team survive until the second half? After Insigne comes on the court, he leads the team to launch a Jedi counterattack... It's hard to say!

Sarri is now beginning to regret it. He shouldn't have made any tricks before the game, and he even hid the biggest card in his hand. Judging from the situation in front of him, he might not even have a chance to play cards in the end!

Obviously, Surrey's concerns are not redundant...

At 37 minutes of the game, Manchester United completed the defense in front of its own penalty area. After Martial blocked the ball, he dribbled the ball towards the front. When the runway approached the center circle, he passed the ball to Yang Xiaozhuang in front.

Manchester United's counterattack speed is amazing, and... there will never be only one player running. The attacking line speed composed of Yang Xiaozhuang, Martial and Rashford is really too fast!

After Yang Xiaozhuang received the ball, he turned around and dribbled the ball and continued to run forward. However, when he saw three or four Napoli players in front of him, he did not choose to dribble the ball towards the opponent's penalty area. In that case,... he would be blocked by the opponent with a tactical foul.

So Yang Xiaozhuang kept adjusting the direction while dribbling the ball forward, and finally dribbling the ball outside the penalty area on the left...

At this time, Naples' defensive attention was attracted by Yang Xiaozhuang, but in the middle... Martial had already rushed up!

Bang!

Yang Xiaozhuang made a cross near the baseline and flew to the small penalty area line facing the left post of Naples. Martial also appeared at the landing point at the right time and pushed the ball into the goal of Naples... 0:3!

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Martial yelled and rushed towards Yang Xiaozhuang who gave him an assist. This ball...this ball...this ball...this ball...this is so cool!

From beginning to end, Martial didn't see Yang Xiaozhuang looking back at his position, and there was no chance!

But Martial ran to the right position he felt, and Yang Xiaozhuang really passed the ball over, and then... the ball went in!

Tacit understanding!

This is tacit understanding!

From completing the interception in front of his own penalty area to the opponent's small penalty area, Martial was running wildly along the way for seventy or eighty meters. If he failed to get a goal... he would really feel sorry for his consumption of such a large amount of physical fitness!

But now…perfect!

If you score a goal, it's better than anything else!

"The ball is in! Martial! In the 37th minute, Manchester United scored another goal. Now Napoli is three goals behind at home! This game...it's so bad!

"Sarri's command on the front line today is really a problem! When facing such a strong opponent as Manchester United, he actually put the team's number one star Insigne on the bench! Now I even suspect that Insigne may not even have the opportunity to play on the court to play his abilities! Now Napoli is not behind one or two goals, but the gap between three goals!"

"As a representative of the academy, Sarri was really well taught by Solskjaer today! If the strength level of both sides is similar, making some strategy adjustments may still be effective, but even playing tricks in the face of powerful opponents is definitely a way to die! In the face of absolute strength, any trick is useless!"

"Naples' performance today was simply terrible. Sarri did not send Insigne in the middle, which was the biggest mistake! Without Insigne's "Lightning Force", he could not create any pressure on the "Red Devils' defense line, which made Manchester United attack wildly without any scruples, and they had already scored three goals before the first half! The difference in the score was really too big. If Manchester United could still score in the second half, the second round of the game might turn into garbage time!"

"There is not much time left in the first half. Seeing that Manchester United has now contracted to its own half, Napoli should have no chance to play at home. They are very likely to enter the midfield with the disadvantage of three goals!"

"It can be said that there should be no suspense in the outcome of this game. What we need to see now is how many goals Manchester United will score on the away game, and they will leave the Sao Paulo Stadium with a few goals."

"As the defending champion, Manchester United's strength is really not to be underestimated. While Sarri is playing tricks with Manchester United, he is actually despising the defending champion! I really don't know who gave him such courage!"

As the first half of the game approached, commentators from European countries criticized Sarri without hesitation. Although Sarri had some prestige in Italian football, he was put in European football... that's the case!

At least, Sarri has not reached the level of coaches such as Lippi, Sachi, Capello, Ancelotti, etc., and is even far behind Allegri!

The game entered the intermission break, and both sides returned to their respective locker rooms. In the locker room of Manchester United, everyone looked relaxed. They played three goals in the first half. Speaking of which, such a big advantage is actually not small, after all, this is a Champions League knockout match.

The sixteen teams that can enter the Champions League knockout stage can actually be said to have their own strengths, and there is no weak team at all!

Manchester United's three goals ahead of Naples in the away game are enough to prove that the strength of the defending champion is indeed very amazing!

In the home team's locker room, Insigne, who did not play in the first half, always had a gloomy face. He had a premonition that he... probably had no chance to play today!
