Chapter 642: Champions League Final

Of course Zhang Yuan will support Juventus, he will not support Barcelona, when he talked to Rakitic on the phone before the game, Zhang Yuan encouraged Rakitic to work hard, but Rakitic said Who do you support?!

Zhang Yuan smiled and said Of course I support Juventus, I will not support Barcelona, but I hope you can play well.

Rakitic was really good, scoring a goal for Barcelona just four minutes into the game, giving Barcelona an early 1-0 lead.

Zhang Yuan slapped his thigh angrily, Dybala was obviously disappointed, from such a few minutes, Juventus was not at the same level as Barcelona at all, and it was suppressed at the beginning, and Allegri's team could only defend passively.

"The team is too passive!" Zhang Yuan sighed.

Allegri has just become the new coach of Juventus this season, and when he signed Juventus, he was strongly opposed by some Juventus fans, and even on the day of Allegri's signing, many fans ran to Ferraris' headquarters to publicly oppose it.

However, the Juventus hierarchy did not succumb to the pressure of the fans and signed the Italian coach.

The reason why fans oppose Allegri is very simple, this guy uses a muscular style of play in Milan, and even does what Boateng does in the forward midfield position, Nocerino and the like, Nocerino is a Juventus academy product, and he used to be a defensive midfielder, and Milan under Allegri is very ugly in the later stage.

When Pirlo left Milan, it was widely believed that he had a great relationship with Allegri, and Pirlo quickly conquered Juventus fans after coming to Juventus, and now this former enemy of Pirlo has come to Juventus, how can fans not object, originally Pirlo's existence allowed Juventus to embark on the road of technical flow, and it is no longer the criticized 1 during the Capello periodFans are worried that Allegri will bring Juventus back to the old ways, and seriously, who doesn't want their team to play beautifully.

Allegri can be said to have come to Juventus under great pressure, but at the end of the season to summarize his results, it can be described as amazing, Juventus's blood loss last summer was quite serious, the biggest blood loss was the club's number one star, Zhang Yuan switched to Liverpool, and Juventus's efforts in the transfer window were very small, resulting in the outside world being particularly unoptimistic about Juventus' Champions League road.

Of course, in the league, everyone knows that even if Zhang Yuan leaves, Juventus is still the favorite to win the championship.

However, Allegri did just that, not only did he manage to lead Juventus to the domestic league title and Coppa Italia, but also led Juventus to the Champions League final with a weak squad, knocking out the mighty Real Madrid.

Now the fans knew how powerful Allegri was, and they turned to support Allegri, and some slogans in the stands appeared today in support of Allegri.

Allegri faced a heavy burden after arriving at Juventus, his predecessor Conte won the Grand Slam, some changes to Juventus can be said to be deep in the bone marrow, Allegri is very smart not to rashly give up what Conte left behind, he still adheres to Conte's tactical style of play, 352 formation.

In fact, he really wants to show his own set, but the imprint left by Conte is indeed too deep to change in a short period of time.

Fortunately, their luck is good, after the group stage appeared, the opponent in the round of 16 is Dortmund, everyone knows that this season's Dortmund is not the previous Dortmund, the domestic league record is very bad, Klopp just got out of class, Dortmund in the chaos of course can not resist Juventus, after eliminating Dortmund, Juventus met Monaco again, the strength of this French team is always incomprehensible, sometimes he can beat the European powers to complain, but when it comes to scoring.

When Juventus drew Monaco, no one thought that Monaco would cause any difficulties for Juventus, why?! Juventus's style is too stable, he is not a nerve knife, Monaco is a nerve knife in the Champions League, and Juventus is a bit of a loss in style, and then it also shows this, obviously Monaco and Juventus, who have strong offensive attributes, fought defense, and the result was not surprising, they were ground to death by Juventus.

In the semi-finals, Juventus faced Real Madrid, and Alvaro Morata's fury allowed Juventus to overcome their most formidable foe and advance to the final.

Looking at Juventus' journey to the final, it can be said that there was a bit of luck.

Allegri was also very conscious, especially serious about defensive deployment in the final, Barcelona scored first after the opening, and Juventus was not in a hurry, still playing in their own way.

Zhang Yuan lamented that the team was too passive, and it was not derogatory to say that when he was at Juventus, the team was passive in the face of several other European giants, and the style was too many, and it was a bit difficult for them to change.

Then he felt that what he said was not correct, and he turned to Dybala and Khedira: "Hehe, the style dictates, Barcelona is not destined to get too many chances today!

It seems to be true to what he said, Juventus is indeed very well organized defensively, even if Barcelona has the MSN combination, there is nothing Juventus can do, Barcelona can only sacrifice their ball control style has been controlling the ball on the periphery, Juventus defense is very particular about retreating, they will not concentrate on interception in the midfield area, the midfield area can only become harassment, and when they reach the defensive area, they will form a tight position, compressing Barcelona's space.

At the end of the first half, the score was not expanded again, Zhang Yuan said triumphantly: "Look, I said the story is not over yet, it's not easy for us to lose the ball, the team is not very suitable at the beginning, and there is not much problem if you adapt!"

Dybala is also an eye-opener, in fact, the more important the game, the stronger Juventus's defensive endurance, in Serie A is nothing at all, and in the Champions League, Juventus players are obviously stronger, and the more they can interpret what defense is.

But now that Juventus is behind the score after all, Zhang Yuan is not sure what kind of response strategy Allegri will adopt in the second half, but what adjustments must be made after all!

The result surprised him in the second half, Allegri did not change tactics at all, Juventus was still passive, and Allegri remained quite patient.

Juventus's attack is basically like that, if Barcelona is determined to control the ball on the periphery, Juventus basically does not expect their side to be able to break the ball and launch a counterattack, they often wait for Barcelona to take the initiative to make mistakes to control the ball.

Judging from the first half, the effect was not very good, Juventus had few shots on goal, Tevez and Morata played more averagely, and it was strange that there was no ball and no support.

But Allegri's patience finally paid off, in the 58th minute, Barcelona passed into the penalty area, and was cleared by Juventus players without suspense, Juventus's formation began to move forward with the rhythm, Pirlo passed the ball to Marchisio, Marchisio obliquely, Lichtsteiner inserted at high speed, crossed the penalty area on the right side of Barcelona, Tevez took the ball and turned and volleyed, was blocked by Ter Stegen, Morata followed up with a shot, and Juventus equalized the score in this way.

"A perfect counterattack!" Zhang Yuan praised sincerely, just taking advantage of a small mistake in Barcelona's offensive and defensive transitions to make this attack, I have to say that Juventus is still a little lucky.

Both Dybala and Khedira applauded Juventus' goal, and the Juventus fans in the stands were even more elated. That's what Juventus are going to do.

"You have to be able to endure it at Juventus, there may not be many chances, but once the team gets such an opportunity, you must seize it!" Zhang Yuan said to Dybala.

However, Dybala will not be unfamiliar with such a situation, Palermo has always been the target of passive beatings, and Dybala will not lack experience in this area.
