As the game entered the second half, Manchester United did not make substitutions. Demarle Grey was able to continue to sit on the bench to observe the team... During the break, he was not worried anymore. After all, the team is now leading by three goals. Even if Napoli chased three goals in the second half, it would be just a draw!

What's more, Manchester United scored three away goals. Even if the "Lightning Force" can create miracles in the second half and score four goals and eventually win the game. After returning to home, Manchester United has a high probability of defeating their opponents at home. If they are eventually counted as away goals... the advantage will be the boss.

But what Demarle Gray didn't expect was that when the game entered the second half, Manchester United, which was still attacking wildly in the first half, suddenly became less active in the offense. Except for Yang Xiaozhuang, the others began to devote more energy to defense.

Defensive counterattack!?

During the halftime break, Solskjaer didn't say he would play a defensive counterattack in the second half, but why did the team... naturally change its tactics?

And I didn't see any dissatisfaction with Solskjaer. Norwegian "babyface" always sat on the sidelines to watch the game, and did not feel any displeasure about the team's tactical changes.

Demarle Gray doesn't understand it very well, but Manchester United players don't think there is anything wrong at all. If you can play football to Manchester United, you have more or less good tactical qualities. In the first half, the team did not establish an advantage, so naturally they have to fight against their opponents.

Now... I have the advantage of three goals away games!

I'm still taking risks and still fighting you?

Do you really think we are all fools?

Although Manchester United's tactical changes have made Manchester United's offense less active, they have also made Naples, who want to attack, even more trouble...

Attack, can't hit it!

Attack with all your might... Manchester United's counterattack ability is really strong!

Not to mention attacking with all your might, as long as Naples has less than four defenders in the half, Manchester United's counterattack may score again in minutes!

After playing in the second half for ten minutes, Sarri could no longer sit still. He directly let Insigne and Karejon come on the court and replace Jelinsky and Milik. This is the last attempt of the "Lightning Force".

Sarri and Napoli have no way out now. If they cannot regain one or two goals at home, the second leg of the two sides will be meaningless.

Manchester United, who returned to home court...the probability of losing is minimal, not to mention that they have to lose at least three goals?

Is this... possible?

Naples, who was working hard to win back some dignity for himself...

In the 69th minute, Coolibali intercepted the goal kick from De Gea. After Mertens received the ball in the middle circle, he hit the ball to the left of the top of the Manchester United penalty area with a long pass. Insigne rushed over from the left, but he didn't even touch the ball, so Warren used a standard tackle to shovel the ball, and at the same time, he also brought Insigne to the ground.

But the next moment... a figure in a blue jersey rushed up and threw the ball into the blind corner of the upper right corner of Manchester United goal with a "bang"!

"Rogge! Rogge! Rogge kicked a world wave and blasted Manchester United's goal with a long shot! 1:3, Napoli, who played at home, finally got a goal back!"

"Croatian genius midfielder Marco Roger still has strong personal abilities. Unfortunately... the rest of Napoli are not very good! Even with Roger's goal, Napoli should be unable to make the situation come true!"

"Roger's goal is more or less a lucky one. If Warren hadn't just tackled the ball to the top of the arc when he tackled the ball, he wouldn't have had the chance to shoot!"

"Mar United's best style of play is an oppressive offense! Tasks like defensive counterattack require the team's defensive ability to pass before they can start counterattacking, but Manchester United's defensive level seems to be a little worse than Napoli. When Warren shoveled the ball just now, if Maguire could catch the ball as soon as possible, Roger would not have the chance to complete a long shot, let alone score a goal."

Although Napoli scored a goal, after the game started again, Manchester United still insisted on playing defensive counterattacks slowly. Once they got the ball, if there was no chance to counterattack, they would control the ball and consume the game time. This style of play also makes the game very slow, and will keep the players on the defensive side calm at all times and avoid making mistakes in defense to the greatest extent.

During the game, Naples' offense failed to hit Manchester United's penalty area. Instead, Manchester United's two counterattacks created danger for Naples. If it weren't for Mangala and Hamsik, they would have paid the price of yellow cards, and they might have been scored by Manchester United again.

The referee Ishtvan Wade from Hungary blew the whistle to the end of the game. In the end, the first round of the Champions League knockout match was played at the São Paulo Stadium, with Napoli losing to Manchester United 1:3 at home...

After the game, Yang Xiaozhuang, who played all the games, became the best player of the game with a score of 9.0 with his 1 shot and 1 pass to Manchester United. After the festival, he interviewed several partner media designated by UEFA.

"Yang, you only attacked one goal against Naples today. Do you think the Italian team has a strong defensive ability?"

Yang Xiaozhuang scratched his head: "This game gives me the feeling that Napoli's defensive players are not very capable, but they cooperate very well when defending. The continuous defense will make every forward a headache."

"Yang, you have won this away game and have achieved such a big advantage. Have you started looking forward to the next quarterfinals of the Champions League?"

Yang Xiaozhuang laughed and said, "For me, it's actually the same, right?"

"Yang, can you talk about Manchester United's goals?"

Yang Xiaozhuang was stunned... Ask me this question? Shouldn't you ask our Manchester United head coach?

However, since you dig a hole for me, I'm not polite!

"This journalist friend, you won't be a reporter on the first day, right? We Manchester United are the defending champions. Do we still have to set our goals in the quarterfinals and quarterfinals?"

“Hahahahaha…”

The reporters around Yang Xiaozhuang all laughed, but the reporters who asked this question were so embarrassed that their faces were flushed, as if this matter was... there was indeed no need to ask!

The goal of defending the champion...it should be the only one to defend the champion!
Chapter completed!
