Tang Long’s lofted pass followed the gap left by Bonucci and moved into the penalty area!
Bony didn’t make much fuss about his position, he just remembered what Tang Long said: diagonal run, just run!
Bony, who started early and arrived just in time, did a no-stop strike as well, with his left foot, going for a rocket shot!
The shot had power, but the angle was straight, normally Buffon would have no problem saving it;
But since the shot was very sudden, the aging Buffon only felt a flash of white coming at him, frantically waved his hands, and missed the ball~
Tang Long and Bony connected, and Manchester City finally broke the deadlock at home!
The Etihad Stadium was booming, cheers thunderous!
Pellegrini turned around and embraced Rein excitedly.
Agüero in front of the TV was dumbfounded!
Clearly, this ball was about to be cleared by Juventus’ center-back, how suddenly did Bonucci move away, leaving a gap?
"So easily the ball got passed in, Juventus must be match-fixing!"
Because Juventus had the history of being demoted due to the phone scandal, Agüero blurted out.
But Ranocchia on the side smiled and waved his hand, indicating disagreement.
"Juventus only fix matches in Serie A, in Europe, they’re very honest."
Ranocchia analyzed for Agüero from the defender’s perspective.
He said Bonucci was taken away all due to Sterling’s involvement, Tang Long passed the ball well, having predicted Sterling’s effect on Bonucci.
Ranocchia’s explanation left Agüero as astonished.
He was immensely confused in his heart.
"The moment Tang Long passed the ball, Sterling hadn’t rushed over to Bonucci’s side, did he predict three seconds ahead? That’s incredible!"
On the Etihad Stadium’s bench.
Nasri also loudly cheered, clapping loudly!
He wasn’t happy for Bony’s goal, but because the earlier Manchester City gained control, the more chances for him to play.
In the last match, Tang Long promised to assist him, as long as he played, he would definitely score, definitely open his season scoring account!
Nasri’s face showed an uncontrollable smile, continuously looking at the delighted Pellegrini, hoping he’d bring him on soon.
minutes with one less player, and trailing 0:1—
Since he had chosen to go all out, Allegri the gambler had no way back!
Losing one is losing, losing two is losing, if luck strikes, maybe we can even equalize!
Winning last season over Inter Milan and AC Milan gave Allegri excessive confidence.
But coming to the Champions League stage, nobody pampers him.
Just five minutes later, Manchester City re-opened their scoring account!
Bony, who scored before, played with more vigor, his battle with Bonucci was relentless.
Kolarov’s low ball cross, Bony even though ran past, relying on his strong physique, leaned against Bonucci, managed to stop the ball with his left foot.
Bony didn’t do any fakes, preferred straightforward actions;
His right hand tangled with Bonucci’s left hand, swiftly used his left foot to cut the ball, then performed a ground-shot!
Bonucci stretched his long leg, blocking the ball out.
Chiellini applauded for Bonucci’s brilliant close defense.
But Bonucci, agape, looked at Chiellini with horror, signaling him to watch ahead of the penalty area!
Maybe because of his age, Chiellini reacted slowly, his attention to the secondary ball wasn’t as before, after Bonucci’s reminder, he quickly turned back to look—
My goodness, Tang Long had already drawn his bow, ready for a leg strike!
Realizing the grim situation, Chiellini rushed out, going for a sliding tackle on Tang Long’s shot path, trying to use his massive flesh to block the shot!
Tang Long’s rocket shot was a ground strike, powerful, mistakenly, hitting directly on Chiellini’s face.
Hit tightly, the football almost embedded into his face!
From Chiellini’s hooked nose, two streams of blood gushed out with a sound, like a bursting fire hydrant!
"Even if I die, I won’t let you score in front of me!"
Chiellini, with stars in his eyes from the hit, even voiced his inner call in blurred vision!
Buffon had already predicted Tang Long’s shooting direction, his center hinged on moving towards the left side of the ball;
However, Chiellini’s header block made things worse for him!
The ball rebounded after hitting Chiellini’s head, having a curve, initially aimed at the left, but under fate’s mockery, bounced into the center.
The ball speed wasn’t fast, seemed to deliberately tease everyone’s nerves;
Before crossing the goal line, it even cheekily bounced lightly on the ground~
But Buffon’s center had already given way, he couldn’t get up in time!
Could only watch the ball, like a child’s table tennis, bouncing, rolling steadily into the net.
In front of Juventus’ penalty area!
Tang Long facing the fallen, bloodied Chiellini at his feet;
Facing the embarrassed Buffon in the goal;
Also facing the tens of thousands of gleeful Manchester City fans in blue jerseys behind Buffon—slowly spread his arms.
Make the atmosphere ignite!
The cheers cascaded from the stands like tidal waves, engulfing Juventus’ penalty area.
In a short ten or so minutes, Manchester City scored two consecutive goals, directly widening the score gap to 2:0!
Only at this moment did Chiellini staggeringly get up.
Being headshot by Tang Long, Chiellini had his hearing impaired momentarily;
He hadn’t heard the calls from Manchester City’s fans behind, thought the game was still running.
However, as he turned his head, seeing Buffon prone on the ground, their striker Bony already storming over, kicking the ball that had rolled into the net heavily again, Chiellini realized, the goal was lost.
"Damn, I took that blow for nothing!" Read full story at novelꞁire.net
Chiellini’s morale diminished, his previously stopped nosebleeds noisily gushed out again.
The whole person dizzy, wavering on the spot for 360 degrees, then collapsed to the ground~
"Oh? We see Chiellini seems to have fainted?"
"He’s lying on the ground, with two streams of nosebleeds gushing out!"
"Oh dear, this scene is too gory, not suitable for kids!"
"How come Chiellini is so unlucky?"
"I remember in the teams’ first group match, his shoulder was bitten by Sterling."
"This time, just got a face shot from Tang Long!"
"Previously, when Tang Long was with Inter, playing against Juventus, he often toyed with this Italian veteran defender."
"Looks like Tang Long is truly Chiellini’s nemesis!"
