Chapter 303: Allow 3 to Chase 4, Add Three Spoonfuls of Sugar! Tang Long Plays with Buffon, the Goalkeeper, for the Third Time on a Penalty Kick!
Toure on the bench jumped up, raised his arms, and shouted!
Although he was subbed off in midfield and felt very upset inside;
But Toure also wants to win!
This conflicted and tangled mindset made Toure appear extremely struggling.
But seeing the team come from 0-3 to 3-3, looking at the Juventus Stadium which was as quiet as a library, with only Manchester City's teammates cheering, and recalling Morata, Mandzukic, and Pogba's unbridled celebrations after scoring — Pogba even ran in front of City's bench to provoke, Toure also felt a sense of strong vindication.
"Juventus, let's see you arrogant now!"
The whole result was completely beyond Pellegrini's expectations.
He initially thought, in the second half, as long as the situation could be stabilized and avoid a crushing defeat;
If they could score at least one without conceding, a 1-3 scoreline wouldn't look too bad, and the Abu Dhabi Consortium would save face.
But he never dreamed that once Tang Long came on, he completely turned the situation around!
Three consecutive assists helped Manchester City score three goals in a row.
This is Juventus' home turf!
The opponent is the Serie A four-time champion, not a Premier League relegation team like West Brom or Stoke City!
"Seize the momentum, big potential ahead, Rein, we must push for another wave!"
After discussing with the assistant coach, Pellegrini made a sweeping decision, signaling the whole team to continue pressing forward aggressively, hoping to score another in the final ten minutes!
In Pellegrini's twenty years of coaching career, he has never let a three-chase four happen;
If City achieves it tonight, it would not only be a glory for the club but also a significant chapter in the Chilean veteran's coaching career.
For public and personal reasons, they must give it a fight!
At this point, Allegri was already losing his composure.
His tie had been torn off by himself, and the neat collar of his shirt was ripped open, looking disheveled.
He was furious on the sidelines, yelling at Juventus players on the field.
"Bench, bench, if you don't score one more, all of you will sit on the bench next game!"
From his player days to being a coach, Allegri has always been an impatient person!
Tang Long, on the other hand, embraced the idea of decisively pursuing and defeating a retreating enemy, continuing to deliver precise blows to the opponent.
This time, he targeted Chiellini, who had broken his brow bone.
Tang Long had to make this Italian old fox defender understand that some subtle moves are not exclusive to him, that he can also do them, and he plays them better with more severe consequences.
Chiellini, you must pay for what you've done!
If Allegri ordered everyone to pull back now, maybe they could hold out for the last ten minutes and maintain a draw at home;
However, as analyzed by Tang Long and Ranocchia, Juventus is a proud team with proud players.
Scoring three goals in the first half so comfortably, victory seemed certain;
Conceding three in the second half, losing two points for nothing?
And this is at their home ground, in front of forty thousand Juventus fans, many people watching, Juventus could not bear such a great humiliation.
We're not going to take the blame for AC Milan!
"We are Juventus, not AC Milan, and you, Manchester City, are not Liverpool either!"
Juventus began pushing all players forward, they wanted to score!
Manchester City also wanted to score!
As a result, the scene became exceptionally intense, the last ten minutes began a frenzied counter-attack, things were on fire!
In the 84th minute, Manchester City made a comeback.
Tang Long, as the absolute commander in the middle, as soon as he got the ball, all teammates had to follow his command and dispatch.
"Protect my flank, Fernandinho!"
"Silva, drop back a little, lure their defensive midfielder out!"
"Sterling, where are you running, cut in there you!"
"Where are you, someone needs to fill the gap!"
Although the time had reached past the 80th minute, many City players were reaching their physical limits;
But the desire to score the final goal, to achieve a super comeback from three down to four, made the players grit their teeth and fight desperately!
They not only wanted to defeat the arrogant Juventus but also add a significant piece to their career, just like Pellegrini!
Bam!
Tang Long made a straight pass, Agüero broke into the penalty area!
Evra was sticking closely, leaving Agüero with no space to face Buffon directly.
He decisively pulled Evra as much as possible towards the baseline, then backheeled a flick to give the ball to Sterling.
Sterling raised his orchid fingers, stuck out his butt, swayed a couple of dance moves, and broke through Chiellini!
The explosive gluteus maximus gave the young Englishman unparalleled burst power, breaking through Chiellini's defense in two steps!
"Where are you going, big-butt boy!"
Chiellini tried his old trick again, swinging his arm at Sterling.
Sterling got slapped, his mind went blank, Chiellini had locked the position, the two tangled together.
Seeing this, Agüero came over to help, and Evra followed too.
The four were entangled, man on man.
Sterling got slapped, his head buzzing, recalling that Chiellini wasn't satisfied using this trick on Tang Long and was now trying it on him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He jumped up from behind and bit down on Chiellini's shoulder!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Chiellini let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground!
Sterling's eyes rolled, and he also fell, clutching his head with a look of pain.
Evra cleared the ball.
"Ref, he, he bit me!"
