Greatest Of All Legends-Chapter 656: Ticket to UCL Finals 2021 II

Like the stellar team that they were, the Uventus team patiently passed the ball around exchanging the ball carefully among themselves and avoiding their opponents’ tackles, slowly working their way forward, but the Madrid team was no soft persimmon and fought back hard by closing up the space and blocking the passing lanes, cooling off Uventus’s initial attack.

The Uventus players were not ones to give up though and the ball was soon passed forward to Chiesa, who tried to break away from his marker with a dribble, but under the combined pressure of Isco and Modric, he lost the ball and the Madrid team, causing a turnover.

Kroos immediately got the ball under control and tried to kickstart a Madrid attack with a splitting pass forward that almost made it all the way behind the Uventus defense line but was intercepted by Bonucci at the last minute, who cleared the ball back up the field.

The ball soared into the air back into the Madrid half of the field, and as luck would have it, it flew towards Chiesa who had not gone far from where he lost the ball deep inside Madrid’s half of the field.

{What do we have here!?} the commentator exclaimed as Chiesa somehow managed to control the ball and dodge away from Nacho’s tackle, darting down the left into the open space behind Carvajal.

After running past Nacho, Chiesa immediately began cutting back inside while Ronaldo and Morata started running forward into the open space in front of the goal.

{Unexpected chance! Can Uventus open up the game here!}

Due to the sudden attack, only Nacho and Sergio Ramos were left behind to defend, but Nacho was chasing after Chiesa and trying to stop the ball from coming in, leaving only Sergio Ramos to block Ronaldo and Morata.

Marcelo and Carvajal were already darting back to defend, but it was already too late and as long as Chiesa could escape Nacho on time, then it would be a three-on-one situation.

Turning to face Nacho, Chiesa faked a pass before moving to dart past Nacho’s left, stunning the defender, but the Spanish man quickly recovered and tried to block Chiesa’s, however he quickly realized that Chiesa’s move to go by his left was a feint and could only watch Chiesa’s back disappear from view.

With Chiesa freeing himself, Ronaldo shot Morata a look and after receiving a knowing glance, the two of them suddenly changed their running direction and ran into each other’s path, confusing Ramos and while Morata drew along the defender, Ronaldo had freed himself for the pass, however the ball never came his way.

{Chiesaaaaa!!!} the commentator screamed as Chiesa hit the ball at the goal, deciding to go it alone instead of sharing the spoils.

Courtois immediately lunged for the ball that seemed to be homing towards the bottom left of his goal, but he missed the ball, however, the ball also missed the goal and slammed onto the outside of the sidenet.

{Wasted away!} the commentator’s voice was followed by loud groans of exasperation and disappointment from the Uventus fans in the stands who thought they had taken the lead there.

{What a chance! What a chance!}

{His teammates are giving him the stink eye and the excessive gesturing from Ronaldo is making his disapproval of that shot clear} The commentator chuckled.

{Ronaldo is clearly shouting, "I was open, you should have passed!" and frankly, everyone agrees with that statement} the co-commentator added, glancing at the Uventus’s bench on the sidelines where Pirlo still had his head in his hands, clearly fuming.

#14th minute...

It had been almost a quarter of an hour and the game was slowly setting into an exciting one with goal scoring attempts continuously made by the two teams.

The Uventus team was a bit more conservative as they had the advantage and were not against defending their advantage till the end of the game, but the Madrid team was ensuring that they never had a dull moment and they were continuously kept on their toes, ensuring that the match didn’t settle into a boring back and forth exchange of the ball.

{Vini, Vini,Viniiii!} the commentator shouted repeatedly as Vinicius cut in from the left, dribbling past Kulusevski and Cuadrado with Brazillian flair, making it look easy and it looked like he would go all the way when Chellini came in roughly, kicking the ball away from his feet, not forgetting to stealthily shove him away.

Crashing to the floor, Vini instantly rolled over to call out to the referee, arguing for a penalty, but the referee had seen Chiellini cleanly tackle the ball away, hence Vinicius’s cries fell on deaf ears and Madrid only got a corner kick for their troubles.

{He’s not happy about that. But unfortunately, he’s disadvantaged physically against most defenders and with the pedigree of the Italian defenders in this game, he’s vastly outmatched} the commentator said.

{Well, he has talent and if he keeps developing, it wouldn’t be too difficult for him to run circles around them. It’s too early right now though} the co-commentator added expert analysis to the commentary.

{Speaking of young talent, Jason, a fan-favorite of the Uventus team is sitting on the bench. What do you think could be the cause for the manager telling him to sit this one out} the commentator began to make small talk while the Madrid players got ready to take the corner.

{I think it definitely has to do with the tactical arrangement for this match as he is clearly not injured and he has been in especially blistering form of late} free𝑤ebnovel.com

{I don’t know why Pirlo chose Chiesa over him for this match, but the Uventus fans just have to hope the manager had good reasons and so far, they are not satisfied with Chiesa’s performance in this game} the co-commentator replied.

{I don’t blame them for their doubts. The two players have quite similar attributes, but with Jason’s form of late, the earlier chance would have ended in a goal whether Jason hit it himself or chose to pass, though knowing him, he would have passed the ball to the open Christiano} the commentator said, watching the replay of the clearest goal scoring chance of the game so far.

{There’s still a lot of time in the game and Chiesa will have time to prove himself and prove that the manager’s decision to play him was the correct one}

{Oh, in comes the corner!} the commentary was interrupted by Kroos sending a curling ball in towards the awaiting head of the Madrid players.
