Chapter 318: Overtaking
David Louis was half angry, Zhang Yuan really fulfilled his promise, of course, this kind of promise was really nothing at that time, everyone was just thinking a little ghost, and no one took it seriously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But now that Zhang Yuan has scored, this promise seems to have been taken seriously, which makes Luis, who is arrogant, very unhappy.
Zhang Yuan didn't know what Luis would think, and he apologized to Pirlo on the way back to his own half.
"Andre, I didn't mean to intercept the shot!"
"Stinky boy, don't you just score a goal?!So proud?!" Pirlo touched Zhang Yuan's head and scolded with a smile.
"Haha, I owe most of the credit to you, count you as an assist!" Zhang Yuan continued to joke with a grin.
"It was supposed to be my assist!" Pirlo patted Zhang Yuan's head again.
A goal that relaxed the mood of the Juventus players, it was a goal in color, and Juventus was not so easy to bully.
Of course, Di Matteo is a stone Buddha face, there is no way, the opposing midfielder Vidal filled a hole for his team, Mikel immediately returned the color, and also gave his team some eye medicine, looked up at the bench, and there was no one who could take Mikel's position.
Only when you look at the bench will people find that Nima Chelsea has reached the stage of not being able to pick up the green and yellow, and it has reached the stage of not buying people.
Restarting, Juventus struck while the iron was hot, continued to test the pressure on Chelsea's defense, and was briefly equalized, which affected the mentality of the Chelsea players, Luiz was more cautious, from the goal just conceded, he drew a lesson, can not let Zhang Yuan take the ball in the first time.
This kind of cautious action is reflected in the fact that he will actively grab up, rather than facing Zhang Yuan directly.
As a result, it was his attitude that caused him to make mistakes again.
In the 42nd minute, Giovinco and Zhang Yuan played a wonderful one-two, when he passed the ball to Zhang Yuan again, Luis finally got on, he planned to intercept Zhang Yuan in advance, but Zhang Yuan was very alert.
Stepping ahead and protecting the ball first, this action is to ask Luis to squeeze out the area of possession and not let Luis touch the ball first, but Luis has a record, and if he fails to steal, he must naturally fall down and tackle.
Zhang Yuan protected the ball and blocked Luis's early grab, and immediately took a small step towards the ball, trying to get rid of Luis's defense, Luis could only choose to tackle, if he didn't tackle, he would definitely be Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan would pose a threat to his own goal in the past, Luis was of course very clear.
He was still slow, his foot hooked Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan was also tripped and fell to the ground, kneeling on the ground with his left foot, but Zhang Yuan did not give up the ball, he used his right foot to outline the ball back, and then stood up again, Ramirez came to make up for the defense.
Zhang Yuan pierced the crotch, passed Ramirez, and then changed direction and rushed to the small penalty area, seeing Cahill sealed to death, Zhang Yuan went back to the middle, Giovinco met the ball and shot angrily, this time he did not waste the opportunity, and the door of Cech was broken again.
The Juventus fans were boiling, and Alessio clenched his fists, which was the correct response of Juventus.
In other words, Chelsea's defensive leakage today is indeed a bit much, the midfielder has never been able to make up for it in time, and the back line David Luiz and Cahill have different degrees of personal mistakes, David Luiz is actually a little better, but his reckless robbery just now is really too reckless.
"David Luiz, the central defender, still has the strength, but sometimes he doesn't know what to think in his head, it's not normal, why should this ball be grabbed in advance?! Zhang Yuan's position is better than him, even if he steals the ball nine times out of ten, it is a foul, and the location is still at the front of the penalty area, it's not worth it!"
Giovinco jumped into Zhang Yuan's arms, the two hugged each other to celebrate the goal, Juventus fans were shocked and red, Giovinco was also very excited, today he finally became a key gentleman, this goal can be described as priceless.
On the other hand, Chelsea scored the first goal but Juventus quickly overtook the score, and before the end of the half, Juventus continued to be under high pressure, which made the morale of the Chelsea players sink.
Kargil was back in the game, Chelsea were in a mess, Juventus were still on the attack, the goal scored by the front three seemed to be a flash of inspiration, and there was no real threat at the moment, but Juventus slowed down after scoring the second goal and did not score a third goal before the end of the first half.
However, entering the midfield with a score of 2:1 is really frustrating enough for them.
Luis lowered his head and walked to the locker room, he was very faceless, Zhang Yuan didn't fight him much today, he seemed to see Zhang Yuan very dead, and the other players of Juventus did not have much linkage with Zhang Yuan in passing, but whenever he was out of position, Zhang Yuan could always bring trouble to Chelsea, which was really a bit of a trick.
Zhang Yuan walked behind Luis, but he didn't tease Luis again, it would be too unkind to do so, right under Luis's nose, he completed both goals and assists, if Chelsea lost this game, even if he didn't lose, Luis would end up in a complete fight with Zhang Yuan.
Di Matteo was a bit helpless in the face of such a situation, the team did not play the way he wanted, but he looked at it and did not know who to play.
He speculated that Juventus were now leading and might adopt a relatively conservative strategy in the second half, so he hoped that the team would be able to attack Juventus with all their might.
But what he didn't know was that inside the Juventus dressing room, Conte was criticising Juventus over the phone.
"Is 2-1 a very satisfying result?!Who are we up against, Chelsea, they are the defending champions, they have a lot of experience, they could give us a big comeback at any moment!, I'm very unhappy with your attitude in the last few minutes, you know that's the chance we should keep attacking!"
Conte was annoyed by the conservatism of the Juventus players in the final minutes, with a 2-1 scoreline that was not safe, and at a time when Chelsea's morale was clearly declining and there was some confusion in the midfield, Juventus should take advantage of the situation and score a third goal to seal the win.
So Conte's requirements for the second half at halftime are still to attack, since Chelsea is not in very good shape, Conte intends to attack instead of defending, Zhang Yuan was surprised in his heart, Conte is not usually like this, where does he know that Conte just wants to lock up the win in this game and usher in the qualification in advance, so he will not slow down.
At half-time, there were no substitutions on either side, Chelsea's performance improved slightly, Juventus couldn't attack, but they could often hit Chelsea's half, Chelsea played sporadic counterattacks with interceptions, but Juventus was much tougher against players, using foul tactics to stop Chelsea's attack, and the effect was not bad.
Ten minutes into the second half, Chelsea fell again and possession began to decline, with Juventus naturally rising.
Di Matteo really didn't want to wait, and replaced Azpilicueta with Moses in the 60th minute, which was the rhythm of the attack, Mata played in the front midfield, Mikel and Ramires behind him, and the three forwards in front were Moses, Oscar, and Hazard.
The situation has changed since Moses came on the field, Hazard often sets the sidelines, Moses is very fast, the breakthrough ability is very strong, the wings began to gradually pose a great threat to Juventus, they continued to create killing opportunities in front of the Juventus goal, fortunately Juventus's back line is top, the goalkeeper is top, and their efforts did not break the Juventus door.
But the opponent's way had to make Juventus more vigilant, Alessio directly gave the team an order, must be closed, in the first half of Chelsea's three forwards, in fact, to go to the middle, because they do not have a center, can only try to lean on the middle, but in the second half Di Matteo this is a mess of punches.
Without a centre-forward, he also began to let the wings attack Juventus' back three, and Juventus pressed two more wing-backs, which could open the gap from the wings.
