Chapter 317: I'm Going to the Final Four!
"Penalty?"
"Is this a penalty?"
Gao Han stood on the sidelines, and the whole person was stunned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
His hands covered his face hard, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
How could this be a penalty?
From his point of view, it can be seen very clearly whether Marchena tackled Nedved, he can't say for sure, but it must have happened outside the penalty area, and Nedved should not have faked a fall, but just fell to the penalty area by inertia.
But everyone knows that it wasn't a penalty, it was a free kick from outside the box!
However, the referee did not know if it was because of the position constraints, and not only awarded a penalty, but also showed a yellow card to Marchena.
This immediately made Marchena furious, and the whole person rushed towards the referee.
Fortunately, Carvalho had been watching from the sidelines and quickly hugged Marchena, but Marchena was still yelling at the referee angrily, obviously feeling that the penalty and yellow card were wronged.
"Shut up, you shut me up!" Carvalho scrambled Marchena's head.
'The penalty and the yellow card have been awarded, so if you don't want to be red, say less. ”
Marchena's eyes were wide and bloodshot, and he was frighteningly red, but after listening to Carvalho's words, he gave up struggling.
The whole person lay there, motionless, as if he had been turned into a log.
On the sidelines, the Atletico Madrid coaching staff was also in a mess.
The first half is almost over, and giving a penalty at this time is bound to completely disrupt Atletico Madrid's deployment.
That's!
"Sergio!" Gao Han shouted loudly.
"Here it is. Sergio García hastened to reply.
"Hurry up, I want a copy of the penalty stats and give it to Pedro. ”
Sergio Garcia didn't reply, just typing on his laptop, and quickly called up a data.
Goalkeeper coach Pedro Harrow immediately leaned in, looked at it carefully, and then ran quickly behind the goal.
Looking at the situation on the pitch, Juventus have two most likely penalty takers, one is Piero and the other is Nedved.
Pedro Harrow was quick to relay general information about the two penalty takers, as well as his habit of taking penalties, to Cech.
As Gao Han calmed down first, everyone in the Atletico Madrid coaching staff recovered.
'He should have known it was a foul outside the box. Unai Emery said as he looked at Nedved on the pitch.
Gao Han glanced at the assistant beside him, and could see that he admired Nedved very much.
"So what?"
'He should have spoken out as if he had turned down Collina's penalty. ”
Gao Han glanced at his assistant deeply again, and smiled coldly, "Don't be stupid, this is the Champions League quarterfinals!"
A game is about millions of euros, or even tens of millions of euros, who would dare to do that?
"At that time, the head coach of Fiorentina was Mancini, in order to save strength for the Italian Cup final, so Fiorentina did not play the main force at all in that game, Lazio led 3-0 early, the victory and defeat were divided, and a penalty was not trivial at all, so he dared to do it, but now it ......"
Gao Han did not mean to belittle Nedved, on the contrary, the behavior of the Czechs at that time was indeed worthy of recognition.
But that depends on the environment.
To put it mildly, the penalty was there or not, and it did not harm Lazio's interests.
But now it's different, a penalty can give Juventus a certain advantage in qualifying, how can it be abandoned?
In a way, if Nedved had offered his own initiative, his ethics would have been severely reprimanded, just as Maradona had refused to acknowledge the hand of God.
Emery looked at Gao Han and then at Nedved on the field, his expression a little complicated.
On the pitch, Juventus made a quick decision and Piero stood at the penalty spot.
Cech stared at Piero as if he were on the verge of a great enemy, his body bouncing back and forth.
The entire Alp Stadium fell silent, and everyone held their breath and watched inside the stadium.
When the referee blew the whistle, Piero sprinted quickly towards the ball, and Cech was the first to make a quick decision.
“goalllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!”
"The ball is in!"
"Piero calmly scored the penalty!"
"The Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech was right, but Piero's penalty was fast and angled, and it was a dead corner in the absolute sense of the word, and no matter how good he was to save, he couldn't do anything about it. ”
"One to zero, Juventus is leading for the time being. ”
"The overall score is also tied at 1-1, and now the two teams are back on the same page. ”
"But we should note that the situation on the pitch is more favourable for Juventus because Atletico Madrid seems to be a little out of control, especially centre-back Marchena, who almost attacked the referee just now, which is not a good sign. ”
"As we said before the game, Atletico Madrid is a young army, young, very energetic, very combative, this is the strength of Atletico Madrid, but the lack of experience, the inability to stabilize emotions when encountering some unexpected events, this is the weakness of Atletico Madrid, and this game was exposed. ”
'We're a few minutes away from the end of the first half and we'll see if Atletico Madrid can make a difference. ”
"The game restarted and Atletico Madrid launched a counterattack. ”
"Juventus is still retreating across the board......"
But until the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid couldn't create any more chances.

"Well done, boys!"
Lippi grinned as he walked into the home team's dressing room, and the first sentence made everyone laugh.
1-0, finally breaking through the goal of Atletico Madrid, which made them happy.
But they all know that this is just the beginning.
The two sides are back on the same page and the second half will be tougher than the first.
"As I told you before the game, they were just a bunch of young guys who were inexperienced and couldn't keep their emotions at bay, and as you can see, they started out with a sense of composure, but then they got worse and worse. ”
Many people in the locker room nodded in agreement.
'I'm sure they're going to try to score in the second half and we're going to keep playing the way we played in the first half and we've got to settle down first, that's the first thing. ”
With that, Lippi walked in the middle of the players.
'In the first half we defended very well against the Atletico Madrid midfielder and Kaka, but it wasn't enough, I ask you to lock Xavi Alonso for me in the second half, no matter what, preferably not to let him pass. ”
Nedved, who was the one who focused on Xavi Alonso, immediately nodded, "Understood." ”
"That kid is afraid of being pushed, you know how to do it. Lippi smiled implicitly at Nedved.
The Czechs immediately nodded in understanding.
'In the second half we defended the same way we played in the first half, we couldn't let the opponent easily pass the ball into our 30-metre area, we had to keep them out of our big box and they could try a little more long-range if they wanted to, but we had Gianluigi Buffon!'
As Lippi's hand pointed at Buffon, there was a burst of laughter in the dressing room.
For Gianluigi Buffon, there is a natural confidence and dependence on everyone at Juventus.
The Italian goalkeeper is arguably the number one goalkeeper in world football right now, and he is almost flawless.
Atletico Madrid want to rely on those brainless long-range shots to break Gianluigi Buffon's goal?
Dream on!
"On the offensive end, I still say the same thing, seize the opportunity and fight back resolutely and decisively!"
The players were also very excited when they heard this.
"Guys, you have to remember that this is our Alp Stadium, it's the last eight of the Champions League, whoever wins, who's in the last four, we haven't been in the last four for many years, and there are a lot of you who haven't been in the last four of the Champions League yet. ”
In the locker room, many people, including Nedved, nodded their heads in unison.
After a stellar run in the late 90s, Juventus soon had their ups and downs, never reaching the last four of the Champions League after being upset by Manchester United in the final minute of the semi-finals of the 99 season.
This is absolutely not allowed for the Serie A giants of the small World Cup.
Moreover, many players in the Old Lady team have not tasted the Champions League so far, so their desire for this St. Bride Cup is not lost to any opponent at all.
"Tonight, on our home turf, I'm going to the last four!"
Lippi's faint words made the atmosphere of the entire locker room stronger.
Every player's eyes seem to breathe fire.
…………
…………
The home team's dressing room was intense, but the visitors' dressing room was deadly silent.
From the moment Gao Han walked into the locker room, no one spoke.
In the locker room, only the masseurs, medical therapists and other staff were left to do their work, but later, it became silent.
The players all sat silently in their positions, and Gao Han leaned behind the goal, silently watching them.
Time flies very slowly, every second seems like an hour, or even a day.
The players also gradually calmed down from the restlessness they had just left the field.
Just when they had almost forgotten that time existed, Gao Han finally spoke.
"Have you calmed down?"
Gao Han's voice floated through every corner of the locker room, making all the players look up and look at him.
Still wearing his signature suit, it is easy to bring confidence.
"In the first half, we were tricked and fell for Juventus and Lippi!"
Gao Han slowly walked among the players, and his tone was still unhurried.
Atletico Madrid's problem is that they are not stable and youthful enough, so they are destined to not be able to play the kind of defensive counterattacks of Juventus and AC Milan.
Taking the initiative is the way to survive at Atletico Madrid.
But this does not mean that Atletico Madrid should attack blindly, but should calmly grasp the weakness of the opponent.
"It's like we're fools, being played around by our opponents, but it doesn't matter anymore. ”
Gao Han shook his head, smiled slightly, and looked at his player again, "The important thing is, now, you tell me, have you calmed down?"
The players all nodded in unison.
In fact, just now they themselves were reflecting on it and realizing the problem.
"Very good, very good, as long as you calm down, we still have hope. ”
Gao Han smiled and clapped his hands, "This is the Alp Stadium, and the opponent has home advantage, but let me tell you, the most magical and great thing about the Champions League knockout round is the away goal rule, so our goal has not changed." ”
Speaking of this, Gao Han deliberately paused.
"Now, let's talk about how to break down the Juventus goal. (To be continued.) )
