Chapter 181: Immediate Results
Conte finally decided to replace Zhang Yuan, during this time Zhang Yuan's performance on the training ground he saw in his eyes, the understanding is very high, some of the shortcomings to mention, with the help of teammates he can quickly understand the trick, Zhang Yuan used his body to fight not much, and now he finally gradually learned to rely on his body. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Sending him on the pitch is also a reward, a reward for the hard work he has been working on since joining the team. Although Conte has no right to talk about who to reward playing time so far in this game, for Zhang Yuan, Conte is willing to consider such time as a reward.
"Zhang, you warm up! You may play in the second half!" assistant coach Alessio instructed Zhang Yuan at the beginning of the second half.
Zhang Yuan was happy in his heart, there was no warning, after the midfielder Conte finished training, they all went to the field to warm up, and Conte did not say that he was going to play.
Zhang Yuan stood up happily to warm up, Alessio called not only him, but also Vidal and Piero, uh, do you mean that the two forwards have to be changed?!
Zhang Yuan thought!
But in the end, just ten minutes after the second half, Conte signaled for a substitution, and he called Zhang Yuan to his side: "You go to replace Mirko, your task is very heavy, not only do you need to break through and organize in front, I also need you to go to the penalty area with Matri to grab points, can you do it?!"
To do the work of two people alone, Conte not only wants Zhang Yuan to be the second striker, but also wants him to be one of the two center forwards from time to time, so that he can put a lot of pressure on the Siena backline.
Zhang Yuan has no problem with such an arrangement, and now he only thinks about playing, and there is no problem with how he plays.
"Do you understand what I'm talking about?!" Conte confirmed again and again, afraid that Zhang Yuan didn't understand, Zhang Yuan always likes to hold the ball at his feet, which is not a problem in itself, but Conte is afraid that he will delay the fighter.
Zhang Yuan nodded while tidying up his jersey, and the broadcast on the sidelines began to broadcast substitutions, Vucinic's mood was naturally not very good, after all, he had only played for more than 50 minutes, but in Juventus it was not Rome, why did he want to play under Conte when he first came, it was asking for trouble.
He high-fived Zhang Yuan, and Conte shook hands with him to comfort him, and then returned to the bench with a blank face.
Zhang Yuan's appearance attracted warm cheers from Juventus fans, ah, the summer Juventus standard king, the Serie A standard king finally appeared, everyone seemed to be impatient to wait, in fact, it was only one league.
Conte's troubles sometimes belong to self-inflicted troubles, he thinks that Zhang Yuan is at least not suitable to play center forward now, so he simply does not need him to play center forward, Zhang Yuan is absolutely first-class in the position of second striker.
As soon as he got on the field, Zhang Yuan showed his power, standing in the second forward position, in the 56th minute, Marchisio passed directly, Zhang Yuan dexterously let go, avoided D'Agostino, directly advanced about 3 meters, and shot from 30 meters outside the penalty area, the ball was slightly above the crossbar, and Burkic was shocked into a cold sweat.
Damn, this is to give me a horse when you come up!
This is just the beginning, Siena soon suffered, this person is too flexible, the ball sense is very good, in the second forward position is often to run to receive the ball, which is undoubtedly very conducive to Zhang Yuan to make moves, Siena in the backfield layout of the area of the defensive space is tight, that is also relative, for Zhang Yuan there is still room to break through the dribble.
Siena has a feeling that he can't be guarded, Sanino is worried and difficult to deal with, Zhang is far from Vucinic, he is more dangerous than Vucinic with the ball.
Fortunately, Juventus's style of play is different from Real Madrid's, Real Madrid pays attention to that kind of fast-paced attack, a few people in the front court get the ball, and they will follow up with a fast run behind, no matter whether the front is passing or what, they always have to press and occupy the gap first.
But Juventus is not this way of playing, they emphasize more on the overall level of the team, the running position is a bit dead, Real Madrid should be more flexible, the front court has a free man Ronaldo, Juventus does not, plus Zhang Yuan breaks through quickly, and there is not enough tacit understanding between each other, others can't figure out what Zhang Yuan wants to do, and the midfielder does not give Zhang Yuan enough support, resulting in Zhang Yuan's style of play not seeing much effect, and he even made three passing errors, all of which were misunderstood with teammates.
Conte is really dumb on the sidelines, Zhang Yuan did show his power on the field, but this person is used to the fast-paced team, and he doesn't pay much attention to slow work and meticulous work in attack, he is fast, and the team must follow up quickly to adapt to him, the overall speed is fast, and Lao Tzu's tone is not like this.
He thought for a while, fast is not necessarily a bad thing, at least a few attackers in the front court should be faster, but not everyone is Pirlo, the pass success rate is very high, and fast passing also means more mistakes, but at this point Conte decided to take a gamble.
So he conveyed his instructions to the field, one midfield should continue to press forward appropriately, several players in the second front court should pass the ball quickly, build a contact point around Zhang Yuan, and Matri should go out of the penalty area at the right time to respond.
This intention is to take Zhang Yuan as the attacking core of the frontcourt, and Zhang Yuan will take over the core of the frontcourt, originally Piero was in this role, this is before, he has the role of the core of the frontcourt organization, this season, Vucinic does not have this core, and his role in playing the second striker position is more to respond, rather than to organize.
There is still a big gap between Vucinic's ability to take the ball and Zhang Yuan and the former Piero.
Antonio Conte was also a sudden change in tactics, and Juventus, after a brief period of adaptation, quickly gave Siena's gate a direct threat.
In the 69th minute, Giaccherini received Pirlo's pass, and then passed diagonally to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan's body shook to the left, but he immediately turned around and walked the ball sideways from the right side.
Zhang Yuan shook him, did not go to the Siena player again, but very suddenly, a small long pass hit the back of the Siena defense.
Matri has been waiting after Zhang Yuan came on the field, he worked hard, he wishfully thought that Zhang Yuan would definitely pass the ball to him, although in fact, the interaction between the two people after Zhang Yuan came on the field was not much, but he still believed it, because Zhang Yuan was his friend.
At this moment, he finally waited, no matter whether Zhang Yuan passed the ball or not, he honestly ran his position.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuan really passed, just right, Matri started one step faster than Terzi, but this was a fatal step, Matri rushed to the top in reverse, Burkic finally couldn't save the team, and the ball was pushed into the net by Matri.
Juventus, who were playing away, took a 1-0 lead, and it was Matri's first goal of the new season, which came from an assist from his friend Zhang Yuan.
So after he scored, he didn't run out of the field alone to celebrate, but waved to Zhang Yuan with a smile, Zhang Yuan had already run to Matri, jumped into Matri's arms as soon as he jumped, raised his arms and shouted.
Anyway, the closest person to this team is Matri, how could Zhang Yuan not think of him, he played the position of the second striker, and he has not interacted with Matri, just to cause a misunderstanding to the players of Siena, and finally at the critical moment, the two joined forces to strike a fatal blow.
"Damn, I knew I could wait for your pass!" Matri thanked Zhang Yuan.
"Trust me, brother, we can do more!" Zhang Yuan said with an oath.
Juventus' players surrounded the two, even though the big score of the first game had Conte pouring cold water after the game, but Juventus's players couldn't help but be a little complacent in their mentality, but this second time almost taught them a lesson, Juventus has an advantage, the ability to create opportunities is not insufficient but very insufficient, if it is not for the changes brought by Zhang Yuan, I am afraid I don't know when to break the goal.
Buffon raised his arms and shouted, this is the role of this guy, we bought it to lead such an immediate effect.
Conte smiled, although he was his old club, he still hugged and celebrated with his assistants, and the bet was right.
With a one-goal advantage, Conte began to return to his old ways, and he immediately replaced the scorer Matri with Vidal.
If this is in La Liga, the conservative Mourinho will not make such a substitution, but this is Serie A, Conte is really not at ease with the once riddled backline, Juventus has no opponent who dare not concede goals in the past two seasons, anyone dares to lose, the midfield is unorganized and the midfield is not hard.
