'This corner is very important for Milan...... Corner kick ...... Zaza's header clears! Sanchez got the ball and still had a chance...... Long Chen! Huh?! Huh! Yes! Ha! Aha!! The ball is in! The ball is in!! In the 85th minute, Chen Long equalized for Milan!! Amazing! Terrific! Chen Long's goal is fantastic! ”

In front of the TV, Zhan Jun's excited voice filled the living rooms of countless families in China. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This Italian "national derby" has also attracted much attention in China. People not only pay attention to Chen Long, but also pay attention to Juventus, because there are also a large number of Juventus fans in China.

But even these loyal fans of Juventus, when they saw Chen Long's kick, they could only sigh and couldn't complain or curse or anything.

It doesn't have much to do with Chen Long being their compatriot, it's just that Chen Long's kick is too ...... Hang!

Pick out any faults in the hanging!

Falling under such a shot, it doesn't seem that there is anything to be angry about......

…………

Chen Long was also very excited after the goal, and he certainly couldn't accept the result of losing the game away from home. If you can't win a football game, don't lose it.

After the shot, he leaned his head and saw the ball fly into the goal, and he ran diagonally towards the corner flag area where Niang had just taken the penalty.

All the Milan players behind him followed him like a ripple on the pitch.

There they huddled. Gross bent down and picked up Long Chen, holding him high, making him the most conspicuous one in the crowd.

It's a position that naturally catches everyone's eye, but at the same time, it inevitably becomes the target of Juventus fans, and how can the Milan players pretend not to see it with such brazen celebration right under their noses?

After a brief silence, boos erupted.

But Long Chen didn't care. The boos from the opposing fans are the best reward for him.

…………

The TV broadcast is replaying Chen Long's goal just now, showing the subtlety of the goal from multiple angles.

"There were so many people in the penalty area, there were four Juventus players in the path of the ball, but no one touched the ball. There was only one way from Chen Long to the goal, and he was caught. The kick didn't exert too much force, but the ball was still fast, which was related to the swing of his calf. There are many players who may choose to volley at this time, but the effect is not as good as such a clever shot...... "Peta gushed for everyone to analyze why this ball is so good. "Chen Long's control of the football when shooting is really just right!"

There is a shot shot from the air, which vividly reflects the trajectory of the ball.

Chen Long's arc is actually not very big, if it is too big, the football will collide with the Juventus players in the penalty area, but it is such a not very obvious arc, but it perfectly avoids all obstacles.

It's like a classic escape scene in a Hollywood movie, the football is like a spaceship piloted by the protagonist, passing through the closing gates, and when all the viewers are worried about the fate of the protagonist, the spaceship rushes out of the gap and escapes at the moment when the last gate is about to close.

Of course, there must be Juventus fans who disagree with Peta's words, thinking that he is blowing too much, what control is just right?

This is clearly a typical example of "survivorship bias"!

If Chen Long's goal didn't score, hit the Juventus player, or missed the bottom line, does that mean that he has a bad control of football?

Now with the goal to prove to everyone that Chen Long's footwork control is accurate, such an example is really not convincing. That's just because the ball went in. Everyone believes that Chen Long must have had many shots in this position, and those goals didn't go in, so naturally they won't appear in front of everyone's eyes. But only this goal was scored and it became a 100% success example.

For Chen Long's goal, Juventus fans think that there is a reasonable explanation - Chen Long took **** luck, he was so lucky, he fell asleep, and he was blinded!

But in fact, luck plays a very important role in the birth of any world wave.

No single world goalscorer can guarantee that his repeated attempts in the same situation will be successful.

There is an element of luck in the goal itself, and it is unfair to use luck to simply and rudely negate the technical ability of the goalscorer.

However, whether it is **** luck or strength, one fact cannot be changed, that is, Juventus was tied by Milan in its home stadium, a few minutes before the end of the game!

The late goal was a big blow to Juventus, but the bigger blow could have come from another thought - is it difficult to beat the team in front of you, no matter how hard you try?

This time, I saw that this was going to win, but at the last moment, I let the other party succeed in continuing his life!

If it is said that they have taken **** luck, then why does Lady Luck only favor them and not us?

At the moment of conceding the goal, Allegri became emotional and angrily shook his fist, not at his own players, but at Lady Luck - this is our home stadium, why are you on their side?!

Mourinho looked even more agitated as he burst onto the pitch as if he were punching a king's eight punches, swinging his fists at a staggered pace, as if beating an unseen opponent.

After venting his inner emotions well, he returned to the coach's seat, hugged everyone he saw, gritted his teeth hard, and looked hideous.

This is not actually joy, but the expression after escaping death.

You can really use "escape from death" to describe Chen Long's ball.

Of course, he knows that the season is long and that a win or defeat in one game cannot determine the league title. But this is a game against Juventus, and it's at Juventus' home stadium. If Juventus can be equalized, the confidence and morale of the whole team will be different.

At the same time, the blow to Juventus was even greater.

It gave Juventus a sense of despair that "they can't win at their home stadium".

This psychological impact is what Mourinho values most, and when the competition for the league title is fiercest in the future, it is often not the strength that determines the victory, but the psychology.

Chen Long's kick is tantamount to planting a time bomb in the hearts of Juventus players, which will be detonated at a critical moment.

…………

After the game restarted, Juventus, who was unwilling to be equalized by Chen Long's "**** lucky kick" at their home stadium, launched a very fierce offensive against Milan's goal.

Under the onslaught of their fierce attack, Milan reverted to the defence, and this time Mourinho did not go head-to-head with Juventus.

In the 87th minute, Desiglio was injured in defense and was replaced by Khedira. After this substitution, Juventus had a good chance. When Juventus is attacking, long passes find the front.

Zaza pressed Khedira to get the first point, and after taking the ball down, Dybala cut in at high speed in front of the box to receive the ball and shoot straight into the far corner of the Milan goal, Stegen couldn't touch the ball, but the ball didn't fly into the goal, but went just wide.

Allegri then replaced Zaza with Mario, who had just come on to make a kill. He tore through the Milan defence with a through ball, but Dybala's shot was bravely held in Stergen's arms and he didn't even give a chance to shoot or take a corner.

In the ninety-second minute, the last minute of regular time of the game, Juventus continued to attack, Barzagli passed the football to Zaza in the corner of the penalty area, Zaza directly hung the goal, the goal was very threatening, it looked as if it was going to score, and the whole stadium stands could not wait to let out cheers.

But Milan goalkeeper Steggen, who had a very good performance in the game, made another brilliant save and did his best to lift the ball over the crossbar.

"Juventus won a corner. This may be Juventus' last chance of the game, with 92 minutes and 37 seconds left and just three minutes of stoppage time...... said Petta.

As he spoke, the TV broadcast gave Juventus goalkeeper Neto a close-up, only to see him abandon the goal and run towards the Milan penalty area, he will also participate in this corner kick attack, if he can score, Juventus will beat Milan at the last moment!

And Milan also made a substitution, Poli replaced Chen Long.

Chen Long walked a little slower when he left the court, and the entire stadium stands once again resounded with shrill boos.

Chen Long was unmoved, and walked down the stage at his pace with boos.

In fact, there is nothing to urge, Juventus themselves know that this is their last chance to attack in this game, this corner kick is taken, the goal is a stunner, and if there is no goal, it is the final whistle. At this time, it doesn't matter if he walks faster and slower.

…………

After Milan's substitutions, Neto was already in the Milan penalty area and the corner was finally ready to be kicked.

The referee blew the whistle and Pullman kicked the ball into the box. He found Barzagli exactly on the line of the small penalty area, and Barzagli jumped high and shook his head to hit the goal!

The ball hurtles into the near corner of the goal!

"Good shot!"

At Peta's call, Stegen soared in the air, like a god descending from heaven, and slapped the flying football out of the bottom line!

"Stegen! He held on to Milan's point! ”

As soon as Peta finished speaking, referee Gagelman blew the whistle for the end of the game, and three whistles sounded, and the score was fixed at 1:1, Juventus could not beat Milan at home. Although he ended an embarrassing record of losing to Milan in the previous two seasons, such a result was not necessarily what Juventus wanted......

………

After the game, it was not Chen Long, who equalized for Milan, or Dybala, the goalscorer on Juventus' side, who was elected the best player of the game, but Milan's goalkeeper Steggen.

The result is of course indisputable, and Steggen deserves this honor

Even Chen Long praised Stegen fiercely in an interview after the game: "I was going to have a heart attack in the last few minutes, and Stegen was simply my quick-acting heart-saving pill!" ”

If it weren't for Steggen's brave play at the last moment, it would have been impossible for Juventus to beat Milan at the last moment.

Now, with a point, Milan has left the Juventus home stadium contented.

As Peta said in his post-match commentary, Juventus were unable to beat Milan at home, which may have laid the groundwork for the future league title between the two giants.

After 16 rounds of league matches, Milan won 12, drew 2 and lost 1, accumulating 38 points and still ranking first.

Juventus, on the other hand, is in second place with 34 points from 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.

Inter Milan has nine wins, three draws and three losses, accumulating 30 points, ranking third, four points behind Juventus and even worse than Milan, reaching eight points.

Overall, this season should be the same as the previous two seasons, with the league title mainly between Milan and Juventus. It's up to whoever has been more consistent over the long season. The league is not the same as the cup, it is a marathon, you are at the beginning, you are leading in the middle of the game, and you are not sure that you will win the championship. Rather than momentary momentum, consistent and stable performance is the most important thing.

Because there is not only one league to qualify, but also domestic and European cup competitions, these competitions will have an impact on the team's performance in the league.

In multi-front, Juventus performed very well. They do have experience in this area, and no matter how sarcastic Sanchez may taunt, Juventus' confidence is real.

Milan will be put to the test if they are to compete with Juventus for the league title this season and also take their next step in the Champions League.

If you look at Roma this season, who finished third in the league last season, they have been very good in the Champions League group stage this season, especially against seeded Arsenal, winning away and drawing at home.

With one game left to play in the Champions League group stage, they have already qualified from this group ahead of schedule.

But the performance in the Champions League is excellent, and the performance in the league is a bit paled in comparison to the Champions League.

After fifteen rounds of league matches, they have seven wins, four draws and four losses, accumulating 25 points and ranking fourth.

Although the ranking looks good, they are as many as 13 points away from Milan at the top of the league, which shows that they have not focused on the league at all this season, but are focused on making a breakthrough in the Champions League.

Of course, Roma is not saying that they have any ambitions in the Champions League. At the end of the day, there's one reason why they've worked so hard in the Champions League – money.

In the Champions League, there is a prize money for every game.

According to the Champions League bonus scheme introduced by UEFA this season, each team that can participate in the Champions League group stage will receive a bonus of 4 million euros first, and then the appearance fee for each group stage game is 600,000 euros, and if you win in the group stage, you will get another 800,000 euros for each victory, and 400,000 euros for a draw.

In addition, if the team reaches the round of 16, the team will also receive 3.2 million euros.

That's why many of the best teams will want to qualify from the group stage, because they will receive more prize money after qualifying. Whether or not you can qualify is much worse economically.

Roma certainly don't think that their strength is to travel to the group stage, not to mention the prize money in the round of 16, if they perform well in the group stage, there is a lot of reward for winning alone. Of course, we have to try to win as many as possible in the group stage.

But with Roma's strength and bench depth, if they want to do well in the Champions League, they can't guarantee their results in the league, and they even have to give up the league on their own initiative.

Roma's performance this season has been evident, playing in the league with inconsistent form, good and bad, fifteen games, four draws and four defeats, with a winless rate of more than 50 per cent. And playing the Champions League is particularly energetic, and the whole team is like playing chicken blood. Olympiacos 2-1 away, 2-2 draw at home to Montpellier, 2-0 away to Arsenal, 2-2 draw at home to Arsenal, 1-0 win at home to Olympiacos. With only one game left in the group stage, they are unbeaten in their previous five games and have received prize money in each of them. Not counting the 7.4 million group stage appearance fee, just the winning bonus and the flat ball bonus, Roma has 2.4 million euros in the account.

For Serie A teams who are very concerned about financial health, the Champions League bonus is a very important subsidy. They can't always sell players to make a big transfer fee, and even if they want to, they don't have enough players for them to sell. The Champions League prize money is an important growth point for them to stay profitable.

Now, one round ahead of the group, Roma have already bagged the €3.2 million prize money for the round of 16. Perhaps they are already thinking about the €4.5 million prize money for the quarterfinals.

…………

After Milan and Juventus have concluded this "national derby", they will also have their final games in the Champions League group stage.

Four Serie A teams have entered the main stage of the Champions League this season, and after the group stage battle, all four teams have entered the knockout round, and their performance will earn enough European points for Serie A to establish a say in the allocation of Champions League places for Serie A teams in the future.

This is something that the whole of Italian football enjoys.

The media are also hoping that the German side will go far in the Champions League this time, as was the case last season, when Juventus reached the quarter-finals......

Of the four Serie A teams, Roma and Milan were the first to make their debut, having played Montpellier away and Manchester City at home in the group stage on December 4.

In the end, Roma drew 1:1 with Montpellier, and because Arsenal lost to Olympiacos 1:2 in the away game, it was Roma who topped the group with 12 points, beating the seeded team Arsenal!

This can be regarded as a surprise for Roma, who failed to beat Montpellier away and thought that the first place in the group must be Arsenal, and it is very happy to qualify from this group and reach the round of 16, regardless of the number of groups and the second place in the group. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, they were the first in the group.

Milan rotated at home in the final round of Group D, but even so, they beat Manchester City 1-0 at home and Real Madrid beat Ajax 4-1 away.

In fact, the wins and losses of these two games mean little to Milan and Real Madrid.

After all, the first and second places in the group were decided. But it might make sense for Ajax – if they finish third in their group, they can also go to the UEFA Cup. But the key to their third-place finish will not be in their game against Real Madrid, who may not be able to beat them even if they do their best. The key is in Manchester City's away game against Milan, if Milan, which has already become a foregone conclusion in the group, deliberately releases water and loses to Manchester City, then Manchester City will surpass Ajax with five points and become third in the group and qualify for the knockout stage of the League Cup.

So Ajax must hope that Milan will be sportsmanlike and not lose at home to Manchester City, even if it is a draw, it will be fine. The final result was satisfactory to Ajax, and Milan did not give up on sportsmanship because it was a foregone conclusion.

As for Manchester City...... The Premier League upstarts who are ambitious to write a new chapter in the Champions League don't take the League Cup seriously into account at all, whether they finish third in the group or not, whether they participate in the League Cup, it really doesn't mean much to Manchester City, they don't have time to take care of it.

Finally, the group of death's points standings are clear. Milan are at the top of the table with 16 points from five wins and one draw. Real Madrid has three wins, two draws and one loss, accumulating 11 points and ranking second. Ajax have one win, one draw and four losses, and are third with four points. Manchester City is fourth with zero wins, two draws and four defeats, with two points, and the bottom one.

Originally, everyone thought that the group of death, which would be very close in points, had such a contrast, which many people didn't expect at all. It seems that if there is a classic group of death like the 1999 Champions League Group D, everyone will have to wait for it.

…………

A day later, Juventus hosted their last opponent in the Champions League group stage, Borisov.

Before the game, they were level on points with Atletico Madrid, but they had the better chance of winning each other.

So as long as they can level on points with Atletico Madrid, they will finish top of the group.

But what's the safest between?

To win, of course. If Juventus flips in the gutter on their home turf and loses to Borisov or are held to a draw by Borisov, while Atletico Madrid beat Lille on the road, then Juventus will be relegated to second place in the group, which will be detrimental to the next draw for the round of 16.

So just win.

Juventus lived up to their expectations and beat Borisov 4-1 at home. Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, did beat Lille 1-0 away from home.

The two teams are tied on 13 points, and in the end, Juventus won the group by beating Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home and drawing 1-1 away. In the other game, Inter finished second in the group.

The fact that all three Serie A teams qualified as group winners in all three groups and the other as group runners-up is nothing short of a "grand spectacle" for Italian football......
