Juventus Stadium was somewhat silent, with only the cheering of Manchester City fans who had traveled from afar.

Karin was sitting in the home fans' section, almost clapping her hands, but found that the fans around her were all looking grim. She forcibly suppressed the urge to celebrate.

Otherwise, she might not be able to get out of here.

However, those Long Kingdom people from Turin or Italy had already jumped up, waving red flags.

The name Zhao Gang echoed through the stadium, making the faces of the Juventus fans even more unsightly.

Yes, the goal was scored by Fernandinho, but Zhao Gang, who provided the assist, was the real key.

That series of dazzling feints made the two old Juventus defenders look clumsy.

The Italian national team's defense, at this moment, was like a child, being toyed with by an adult until they were dizzy.

After scoring, Fernandinho rushed towards Zhao Gang.

He directly picked him up and ran to the outside of the stadium, celebrating with all the Manchester City fans who had traveled for the away game.

"Juventus may need to change their style of play. For these thirty-four minutes, they have been mainly defending and using physical confrontation to limit Zhao Gang.

Now that they are a goal behind, they must attack if they want to advance.

Allegri's tactics are a bit conservative. There are too few attacking players. If they are lucky, they can win the game. Now, undoubtedly, luck is not on Juventus' side.

Higuain is struggling alone, and Alves' breakthroughs are also blocked by Fernandinho and Clichy.

Juventus needs more players to participate in the attack!"

Losing a goal first, Manchester City has already gained the advantage to advance.

Juventus' tactics were disrupted, and they were starting to get anxious.

If they don't equalize, they will be eliminated.

This is different from the first leg between the two sides. Even if they lost, there was still a second leg.

Therefore, in the first leg, after Juventus conceded a goal, they didn't panic and continued to solidify their defense, waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Now, that won't work.

If they lose, they are completely done.

If they continue to solidify their defense and launch a counterattack, they will be finished if they can't score.

Therefore, it can be clearly felt that Juventus has begun to increase its attacking force.

The wing players began to frequently move forward, reinforcing Dybala and Mandzukic.

Mandzukic, the defensive forward, also began to look for opportunities, constantly pulling and creating space.

This change, not to mention Zhao Gang and his teammates, even the fans could see it.

The Juventus fans kept shouting and cheering madly for their team.

They must score one!

Facing Juventus' attack, Zhao Gang's position began to move backward, supplementing Fernandinho's gap.

Fernandinho needs to constantly reinforce both sides, making the defense more layered and tighter.

Zhao Gang, after falling back, takes into account the defense, but this does not mean that his attack will be weakened.

A position similar to a defensive midfielder will become the starting point for Manchester City's entire attack.

Zhao Gang was waiting, waiting for Juventus to make a mistake.

At this stage, the tactics of both sides have actually reversed.

After Manchester City scored a goal and took the initiative, they were more like the previous Juventus, solidifying their defense and waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

In the forty-fourth minute of the match, Juventus, who were attacking more and more frequently, finally made a very big offensive error.

Dybala's forward insertion on the right, Sandro's pass, was suddenly intercepted by Fernandinho, who was covering, directly intercepting the ball!

Then, with a diagonal push, Zhao Gang, who had caught up, got the ball.

At this time, Juventus' midfielders had begun to support the attack.

This unexpected mistake slowed down their retreat.

With Zhao Gang carrying the ball, only one of the four midfielders, Pjanic, remained in front of Zhao Gang!

Zhao Gang did not directly confront Pjanic, but instead took a big stride, and the ball went diagonally forward. Zhao Gang took advantage of the situation and rushed directly to the left, running wildly, he could even hear the whistling of the wind in his ears.

With continuous acceleration, Pjanic tried his best but couldn't catch up.

Alves in the back had already advanced to Manchester City's dangerous area, so it was impossible for him to catch up with Zhao Gang at this time.

Zhao Gang carried the ball forward all the way, and only Chiellini could come over to defend, with Bonucci waiting for an opportunity to cover.

Delay Zhao Gang's rhythm forward and wait for his teammates to support him.

"This speed! Can't keep up at all! Zhao Gang!"

Facing Chiellini, Zhao Gang pretended to rush past in one go, but suddenly cut inside horizontally, directly甩开 Chiellini, and at the same time blocked the retreating Pjanic behind him.

Pjanic bumped into Zhao Gang and subconsciously raised his hands to indicate that he didn't use his hands, it was just physical contact.

As a result, Zhao Gang just staggered a bit and then rushed up with the ball again.

Pjanic was dumbfounded. With such an inward cut, he didn't fall down even after bumping into him??

Jesus followed the steps of the defense line, slowly moving forward, watching Zhao Gang's breakthrough route, waiting for a possible pass.

When Bonucci took a step forward, preparing to stop Zhao Gang, Jesus suddenly started forward, blocking Chiellini.

Chiellini realized Jesus' run, and he quickly moved forward, preparing to create an offside, instead of continuing to follow.

He had already lost his position, and following was not of much significance, but as long as the pass was made, it would be offside. This is an experienced defensive player.

In the process of Chiellini's battle of wits with Zhao Gang, he obviously did not expect that Zhao Gang's pass would be so delicate and accurate.

He was just about to move up when the ball had already been passed out.

Swish...

Jesus had been waiting too long for this opportunity!

He took a step forward, and at the same time as he started, he was already in the front. It was too late for Chiellini to chase!

Jesus stopped with his right foot, and the ball changed direction, rolling towards the goal.

Buffon rushed out quickly, and Jesus followed with a kick.

Close at hand, a powerful shot!

Bang!

The ball soared into the sky, hit the inside of the crossbar, and bounced into the goal line!

The quick-reacting Buffon had no way to stop it.

Two to zero!

Manchester City is two goals ahead at Juventus Stadium!

Chiellini frantically raised his hand to signal that Jesus was offside.

Jesus had already rushed out of the field to celebrate passionately.

The Juventus fans couldn't believe it.

Manchester City could actually score two goals in the first half in an away game.

The first game was not like this.

In the first game, although Juventus had fewer attacks than Manchester City, they had more threatening balls!

They tied in the first half, overtook in the second half, and almost overturned Manchester City in the end.

How did it become like this at home?

Where is that solid defense and sharp attack from the Bianconeri??

"Zhao! Great pass!!

Jesus!!"

"Jesus!!"

Jesus rushed to the sidelines and finally heard the long-lost shouts of the Manchester City fans. He opened his arms and roared passionately.

Then he turned around, waiting for Zhao Gang, who had provided the assist, to arrive.

Jesus hugged Zhao Gang tightly.

"Nice run!"

Zhao Gang praised, and Jesus grinned excitedly.

The Juventus players kept protesting, hoping that the referee could review the video.

The referee shook his head. The video referee had repeatedly confirmed that Jesus was not offside.

It was just that his arm was in an offside position during the run.

The torso was not offside, so of course it was not offside.

The Juventus players, who were two goals behind, became even more anxious.

They could have gone back and forth with Manchester City in the away game, so why couldn't they do it at home?

In the remaining few minutes of the first half, Juventus launched a more powerful attack.

They almost pressed Manchester City in their own half.

As the Serie A champion, they of course have strong control, but they gave up possession due to tactical play.

Now that they urgently need to score, of course they have to take the initiative.

Unfortunately, Juventus' attack was not effective after Zhao Gang, Sterling, and Jesus all retreated.

They found it difficult to find shooting opportunities, and all the crosses were cleared by Stones and Otamendi.

Zhao Gang even headed out a cross.

Beep!!

The injury time in the first half ended, and the game also came to an end.

The players from both sides walked back to the locker room.

The Manchester City players were in good condition, completely different from the nervousness and solemnity at the beginning of the game.

Now they have a two-goal advantage. Even if Juventus can score two goals, it will only be dragged into extra time.

For Manchester City, the future is bright.

They are about to break into the Champions League semi-finals!

This is a qualitative leap!

Guardiola quickly began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

The team will switch from attack to defense, and will replace one or two players in the midfield and frontcourt according to the specific situation.

The Juventus players kept shaking their heads, not quite sure what was going on.

Why did it become like this?

Obviously in the first leg, Manchester City was made to look bad by their counterattacks, so why did it become like this in this leg?

Allegri of course knew what was going on.

Guardiola changed the defense. Although Clichy and Zabaleta were not outstanding in individual ability, with Fernandinho's cover, the cooperation between the players in this formation was still good. Juventus had too few attacking players.

They were easily restricted by this not-so-stable defense.

It can be said that Guardiola's tactics defeated Allegri's somewhat conservative style of play.

There is only one way to change the situation, and that is to attack!

The wing players no longer take into account the defense, and there will be at least five attacking players in the frontcourt, with the midfielders supporting at any time, just like the way they play against teams in Serie A!

In this way, the defense will become very difficult.

But there is no way.

In the current situation, if they can't score, they will definitely be eliminated.

"I can only hope that Manchester City cares too much about this victory, too much about this knockout round, and changes their style of play, focusing on defense for the whole team. If they still play like they did before, it will be too difficult for us." Allegri prayed in his heart, hoping that Manchester City would desperately defend in the second half, just like the mistake he made at the beginning of the game.

Find opportunities through defensive counterattacks.

If Manchester City continues to control the ball and attack in the second half, Juventus' chances are really slim.

"Everyone cheer up!!

We haven't lost yet!

At the Etihad, we were one goal behind and could equalize and overtake. In our own home, we are behind, and we can still equalize!

Under the attention of those fans, we will not only equalize the score, we will also overtake it!

In the second half, give me your all-out attack!

Apart from that, we have no choice!

Maybe my level is not as good as Guardiola's, but you... you are not worse than Manchester City's players, you are much stronger than them!

Go up and tear them apart!

Let the dream of Manchester City be shattered in Turin!"
