Chapter 298: Lucescu's Enlightenment

The fans at the Juventus Arena blushed and cheered, they opened their eyes today, they haven't seen their team play so badly for many years, and they are so passive that many fans think that Juventus' opponent today is Barcelona. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhang Yuan ran to the corner and hugged Pirlo tightly, and the two of them waved angry fists at the fans together.

"Damn, I just think you kid is the most likely to do it!" Pirlo praised, of course he knows that it is very difficult to seek such a pass, and even if ordinary people know, they can't guarantee a goal, but Zhang Yuan is really not the first time to put on such a good show, and today he shot impeccably, very perfect.

"We need a goal so badly! We succeeded!" Zhang Yuan smiled.

The Juventus hierarchy naturally applauded Zhang Yuan's goal, which was unexpectedly played like this in the first 20 minutes, and it was indeed deserving of everyone to be happy to be able to get away with an equalizer two minutes later.

However, just as Carrera was happy, the top brass were somewhat worried, and there was no way that Juventus had not found a way to restrain their opponents, and even if they equalized, it was foreseeable that Juventus would still be at the bottom.

Lucescu didn't mean to blame his players, the goal was a bit of a surprise, Juventus's set-piece tactics were executed almost perfectly, the block in the middle of the box, Pirlo's pass, Zhang Yuan's shot was impeccable, and Shakhtar Donetsk's goal conceded looked really inevitable.

Equalized?!What are you afraid of?!We will take the initiative!

This is in line with Shakhtar Donetsk's players, and as long as they can maintain this advantage, the goals will come.

The morale of the Juventus players has improved a lot, and everyone is running desperately to try to make up for the disadvantage.

Shakhtar Donetsk still have an advantage, their technical ability is really good, Juventus does not have any advantage, Juventus's performance has improved in the following games, and the possession rate is also rising, but it is still weaker than the opponent.

Shakhtar Donetsk are not in a hurry, and perhaps a draw in this game is not a bad thing for them.

In the 40th minute of the game, Shakhtar Donetsk began to regain their strength and began to consciously break through and shoot.

But at this time, the Juventus players have gained a firm foothold, the defense line is more tightly organized, Shakhtar Donetsk can only fire on the periphery, as for Juventus's attack, there is some improvement compared to the opening, Carrera also dared to let his players move forward when the team controlled the ball, and Zhang Yuan and Vucinic, who were reinforced, of course, gradually became some threats.

At the end of the first half, neither side could change the score, Shakhtar Donetsk led the statistics across the board, with 67% to 33% possession, 7 to 6 shots on goal, 90% to 74% pass completion rate, and they were below in the shots on target, and Juventus in addition to Zhang Yuan's goal, Pirlo's free kick also hit the woodwork.

"Guys, this isn't what we should be doing! if we keep doing like this, we're going to get nothing this season!" Conte told his players on the phone, as stern as ever.

The Juventus players sat on stools in the dressing room and listened to his lectures, and everyone understood what the problem was, the tactical containment, the physical feeling that everyone was vaguely powerless.

When there is a problem with the tactics, the team has to adjust the tactics, and there is no doubt that Juventus was guessed by Lucescu in this game, so it is only natural that Conte's side should adjust the tactics.

At halftime, he replaced Vucinic off the pitch and replaced him with Matri, letting Zhang Yuan play the position of second striker and Matri playing as a central striker.

In the second half, his tactics were also very simple, Zhang Yuan became a free man in the front, and Juventus's overall idea was to counterattack.

This is the solution he can think of, and now Juventus' problem is that the physical fitness cannot keep up with the rhythm of the opponent, and Conte simply wants to make his attack simple and clear, and use the main energy on defense, which is a bit of a trick to say, but it is not a bad way.

On the pitch, you can't just say a few words to arouse the endless fighting power of Juventus players, it depends on the facts, and Conte's cleverness lies in this place.

After the break, at the beginning of the second half, Juventus made personnel changes, and Lucescu still maintained the original style of play, and soon Juventus shocked them into a cold sweat.

Zhang Yuan was granted a great deal of freedom, Juventus's counter-attacking rhythm swung with him, and Zhang Yuan's movement began to drift around, not relatively dead like in the first half, he always went to Shakhtar Donetsk for a short gap, and there was no limit in the middle of the wing.

This kind of Zhang Yuan is a headache, Zhang Yuan's purpose in finding a position is very clear, that is, to avoid facing the pinch attack after taking the ball, and he is to change the game through his breakthrough ability, which is also what Conte is looking forward to.

In the 47th minute, Zhang Yuan moved to the left wing space, received a long pass from Pirlo, Zhang Yuan started his own performance, accelerated with the ball, stopped and changed direction, shook off the two players of Shakhtar Donetsk and then crossed the bottom, and Matri in the middle rushed to shoot and shoveled!

The ball was miraculously blocked by Pyatov in the first trouble Juventus had caused Shakhtar Donetsk since the change of tactics.

Things are not over, in the 51st minute, it was Juventus who got the opportunity to counterattack, Zhang Yuan got the ball and Matri did a wall cooperation, Matri understood the side to mobilize the defenders of Shakhtar Donetsk, Zhang Yuan took advantage of the opponent's short disposition, and drove straight in, but his choice in the choice of shot was a bit bad, he did not choose to pass in the face of Rakitsky, but chose a long shot, a little impatient, was Piatov, easily obtained.

Lucescu began to have a faint feeling that something was wrong, and Zhang Yuan was still galloping like this, and something would happen sooner or later.

Shakhtar Donetsk were also attacking in the second half, but the attacking efficiency in those few minutes was much worse than that of Juventus, with not a single shot on goal, and the opponent had already completed two shots, both of which were still dangerous shots.

Lucescu began to adjust his tactics, the formation was still recycled, he didn't think about creating offside tactics, but he finally chose to give up such tactics, he was a little afraid of Zhang Yuan, the running position was erratic, and the offside position was unsuccessful, and it was often himself who was injured.

As soon as he recovered, the backcourt space of Shakhtar Donetsk became smaller, Zhang Yuan was curbed to a certain extent, and Carrera started the next step at this time, the opponent was unwilling to take risks, but he wanted to take risks.

Juventus's formation began to press, and from the second half, the form of Juventus players has rebounded a little, mainly because the interception ability of the central and backfield has been greatly improved, and Shakhtar Donetsk has been made to have no shot on goal for a period of time.

Carrera also saw this to put pressure up, if it was in the first half, he really didn't dare to let his team press too much, because if the interception is not done well, the conceded goal will follow.

Shakhtar Donetsk's players are becoming more familiar to Juventus players, and the situation has reversed, Juventus have begun to dominate possession, and of course the dangerous counter-attacking style of play in front of them will not be able to play well.

Fortunately, Juventus' own style is not a team that relies on counter-attacks, and their advantage is still to attack on the wings at a slow pace.

Zhang Yuan got a great opportunity in the 71st minute, Marchisio sent a wonderful pass at the edge of the penalty area like the opponent's William, Zhang Yuan also successfully countered offside and shot, but unfortunately the ball was slightly off the post.

Carrera is really sorry on the sidelines, in the Champions Cup, Zhang Yuan missed two consecutive games, why the?!

Zhang Yuan didn't know that it was excusable against Chelsea in the last game, the ground was uneven, there was no reason for this game, he just missed!

Alas, what is this called? Why don't you go in?! Zhang Yuan kicked the goalpost fiercely.

Juventus couldn't score for a long time, Shakhtar Donetsk was in a serious situation, and Lucescu was very nervous on the sidelines, constantly directing his team to defend and defend.

In fact, Shakhtar Donetsk's current squad has the advantage of attacking, and shrinking the formation is not a good thing, as evidenced by today's scene.

Fortunately, Juventus wasted their chances and failed to score, and after 80 minutes, Lucescu finally figured out that he had made a mistake.
