Chapter 334 Reappearance of the Trident

On August 8, Juventus played against Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup at Philip II Stadium.

To the surprise of many, in this game, Mourinho still let Aubameyang start.

In the previous warm-up match, it is understandable for Mourinho to do this, which can speed up Aubameyang's running-in with the team, but the European Super Cup is also considered an important event. Mourinho did this because he planned to give up the Super Cup and regard the Super Cup as a training game?

Whether people understood it or not, the game started on time.

As most people expected, after the game started, Manchester United looked for opportunities to attack and Juventus defended most of the time.

Juventus has also played against Shen Peng before, that is, the year Dortmund won the Champions League, Shen Peng's performance is still fresh in the memory of many Juventus players, and they dare not be careless.

The game lasted for half an hour, and Manchester United's several attacks were initiated from the left, and the right seemed to be misfired.

"Look, I don't know what Mourinho is thinking. No matter how good Aubameyang is, he has not yet fully integrated into the team. In this game, I think Matalingard is better than him!"

The fans on the sidelines started talking.

"Yeah, now it feels like there are only ten people playing on Manchester United's side. How can this pass Juventus' defense?"

"Did Mourinho really regard this game as training, just like the previous warm-up match?"

Seeing Juventus' impeccable performance and Aubameyang who was almost invisible on the court, Mourinho also frowned on the sidelines.

At this time, an attack by Manchester United was blocked by Juventus, and Juventus immediately began to counterattack.

Juventus's offense is not weak. Of course, after Manchester United introduced a midfielder and a defender this year, their defense is not weak. The offense they organized was finally destroyed by the pressure of Manchester United's new aid Matic.

Matic passed the ball directly to Shen Peng.

Just when everyone thought that Shen Peng was going to break through with the ball, Shen Peng suddenly kicked his foot, made a razor pass, and passed the ball directly to Aubameyang on the right!

Because Aubameyang hadn't shown much before, Juventus was a little relaxed about him, so after he took the ball easily at this time, he dribbled forward. At the same time, Shen Peng also rushed to Juventus' defense line on the left!

Two red lights shot at the Juventus defense line from both sides, which made many spectators on the sidelines and Mourinho shine.

Juventus returned to the defense quickly, but when their defenders approached Aubameyang, Aubameyang suddenly knocked at his feet, and the ball was passed to Rashford diagonally behind!

Facing the pass, Rashford didn't even frown to stop the ball. Before the ball rolled to his feet, he kicked it straight and passed it to Shen Peng who was startled on the left and opened the distance with speed!
After receiving the ball, Shen Peng took a direct shot and the ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal.

One to zero.

After this goal, Shen Peng also found Aubameyang to celebrate.

The day before, when Aubameyang learned that he was starting today, he had approached Shen Peng. After all, he knew that his performance in the previous warm-up match was not good, or even a little bad, so he expressed concern about today, fearing that the team would lose because of his own reasons.

But this goal completely reassured him.

Mourinho was also very excited on the sidelines, Aubameyang's performance was enough.

As a striker, even if the audience is invisible, as long as he helps the team score goals at critical moments, he is a good striker.

Aubameyang's performance in this breakthrough was perfect, whether it was a surprise attack with the ball or the final pass, he handled it just right.

If you change another person, not to mention the quality of the pass, even if you are dribbling, it is impossible to forcefully pass the Juventus defender by relying on speed like Aubameyang.

This goal also greatly boosted the morale of the Manchester United players-Juventus, who did not concede a goal in the Champions League knockout round, was not scored by them?

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was still one to zero.

But at this time, the audience on the sidelines have changed their views on Aubameyang.

"His breakthrough just now was really wonderful!"

"If you change someone, it will definitely be impossible to break through Sandro's defense!"

"Juventus suffered a loss this time. In the second half, they will definitely pay attention to defending Aubameyang. If he does this again and loses to Manchester United [-]-[-], it will be shameful!"

During the intermission, Aubameyang also found Shen Peng in the aisle, "Shen Peng, thank you for the first half."

"It's nothing. You know my character. If your position is not good, I won't pass it on to you." Shen Peng smiled.

Then, it was routine tactical time.

……

In the second half, both teams made tactical adjustments.

The most obvious thing on Juventus' side is that they also pay more attention to Aubameyang's defense. Just like other people think, they are also afraid of when Aubameyang will make another breakthrough like before.

However, when they paid attention to Aubameyang, their defense against the other two lines was slightly weaker. In the No.701 minute, Shen Peng trained two people in the frontcourt, which caused chaos in Juventus' defense line, and then crossed to Rashford. Rashford ran out of space at this time and easily scored with the ball.

Two to zero.

Many people exclaimed when they saw this, the Manchester United offense with Shen Peng is too strong!

Even the Champions League champions who didn't concede a goal in the knockout stage of the Champions League were poured two goals by them!
Moreover, after Manchester United introduced Matic and Lindelof this year, their defense has improved a lot compared to last season. Even though Juventus's Mandzukic and Higuain were trying to find opportunities, they just failed to score.

At the end of the game, the whole Manchester United team was very happy. This game fully demonstrated their current strength. In the new season, they are fully capable of winning the Champions League!
After the game, words like this appeared in many media: "The Red Devils who have shaken Europe have awakened!"

Moreover, many media have given great affirmation to the performance of Shen Peng, Rashford, and Aubameyang in this game. Shen Peng and Rashford each scored a goal, and Aubameyang's attack on the right also involved Juventus.

Won the victory of the Super Cup, Manchester United also made a good start to the new season.Of course, a victory in the Super Bowl did not make them proud, and then there will be a long league, where they will encounter various opponents, and this is the place to test the true strength of a team.
