Chapter 242: Old and Strong, Piero

The second half of the game was lively.

Gao Bo's expected press on the wings did not work, which only allowed the pace of the game to be accelerated.

"Do you need to get Adam and them back to defend?" John was a little worried when he saw his team threaten from opposition crosses on a couple of occasions.

However, Gao Bo looked at a different point than John, he looked at the offensive end.

The English media like to see Gao Bo as a utilitarian coach and think that Gao Bo is a defensive-oriented coach.

But Gao Bo himself felt wronged, and he thought that he still attached great importance to attacking.

There is a saying in football circles that offense wins fans, defense wins championships.

Gao Bo has never agreed much with this sentence, in his opinion, you can score goals to win the championship.

Score goals, concede fewer goals.

That's what it takes to win the championship!

Gao Bo saw that Luton's wing attack was actually very threatening, and in such a frequent rhythm of turnbacks, Juventus's overall age-related weaknesses may be exposed in the second half of the game!

How long can Grosso's fitness support such frequent sprints?

It's not easy for a veteran in his thirties, Gao Bo has no intention of changing the rhythm of the game, even if Luton can't score goals, but if the game can be turned into a turnaround run for the players of both sides to compete for physical fitness, then in the last fifteen minutes of the game, Luton can definitely dominate the field!

Juventus won't be able to run for long!

Juventus also know very well that they are not as physical as young Luton, so they need to score as soon as possible and try to get ahead of the scoreline!

Ferrara also knew that Grosso would not be able to rush for long, but he was prepared.

As soon as Grosso can't keep up, he's ready to make a substitution.

Molinaro was already warming up at this time, and from the second half, Ferrara had the Italian full-back ready to warm up at any time to replace Grosso, who was likely to be out of fitness.

Ferrara is betting that his team will score first!

This is because Ferrara still has a lot of trust in Juventus' striker, Piero has strong individual ability, and Amaury is also an experienced high striker, and Brazilian midfielder Diego can also make a difference at the top of the penalty area.

These three players with strong offensive ability are always able to create surprises at certain moments!

That's Ferrara's confidence.

In the 67th minute, Diego's long-range shot from the edge of the area hit Jeffrey's body, and was later cleared by Saul Campbell.

Juventus' flanks were still empty, and Antoine Griezmann took the ball down the flank with ease and then dribbled forward.

Adam simply moved from the left to the right, actively seeking to link up with Griezmann, but Juventus' defense was very tight, and Adam ran from the left and then shifted to the right.

After a cross with Griezmann, he finally messed up Juventus' defense.

Antoine Griezmann takes the opportunity to cut inside with the ball!

Melo was passed by Antoine Griezmann, and then Chiellini made up for it!

Jamie Vardy pulled away to the left, allowing a gap to open in the middle.

Griezmann didn't hesitate at all, he shot straight with his left foot!

The soccer ball got through this gap!

At that moment, Cannavaro blocked and the ball bounced to the left after hitting him.

At this time, Vardy rushed over, and with him pounced on the football, as well as Buffon, who was concentrated!!

"Vardy !!"

Lightkinson is exclaiming!

The Juventus fans in the stands were also shocked into a cold sweat!

Vardy is fighting Gianluigi Buffon for speed! If he had gotten the ball first, Juventus' goal would have been empty!

Vardy gritted his teeth and increased the speed as fast as he could!

However, the ball that bounced out was still moving forward under the action of rotation, so in the end, Buffon came out first and hugged the ball directly!!

And Vardy could only jump up and jump over Buffon's head, he was still a little slower after all, and the ball was picked up by Buffon first!

Juventus fans breathed a sigh of relief and then cheered loudly for Gianluigi Buffon's performance!

"Buffon's key save in the box!! Jamie Vardy almost got his hands on it! ”

"It's really thrilling, the Juventus defence needs to be more careful!! Antoine Griezmann has been too easy to get in late!! ”

The Italian narrator was in a state of apprehension.

The TV screen was still replaying the attack at Luton, and then a deafening cheer was heard.

The screen immediately switched back to the scene, and it turned out that Juventus's counterattack was also coming!!

Grosso is rushing at high speed!

Grosso, who had been running for more than 20 minutes, still had some fitness, but he didn't stay because his substitute was ready to play on the sidelines!

Despite being in his thirties, Grosso was still quite fast, and he quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt!

Kevin Keane and Mitchell Piran stood in front of him, Luton's defense was fast, and the midfielder didn't actually rush forward, so Luton's defensive system is still very complete now.

Grosso first made a feint of a cross, and by the time Mitchell Piran had just reached for a block, Grosso pushed the ball past his feet and Piero had already pulled it over to catch it.

"Piero catches the ball in the box!!"

The Italian commentators were excited, and the fans in the stands were cheering for the scene!

Piero had flowers at his feet, and his continuous feints and upper body shaking allowed him to quickly complete the pull ball turn.

The commentators rarely mentioned Piero's name during this time, but as long as the player was on the pitch, he could never be ignored!

After completing the turn, Piero dribbled the ball into the box.

His dribbling level was very high, and in the face of Saul Campbell's defence, Piero first went inside, and then waited until Saul Campbell moved his center of gravity, and the Bianconeri Prince pulled the ball back!

The thirty-six-year-old zebra prince has recovered a lot of energy after a period of rest.

But he also knew that his chance was probably only this one.

Continuous redirection dribbling is actually very energy-consuming!

By the time Piero pulled the ball back, he already felt as if his feet were a little disobedient.

The muscle strength of his legs has decreased a lot compared to when he was younger, and such an action of stopping and changing direction can be easily completed when he is young, but now Piero has to use all his strength to complete such an action.

But he did it in the end!

A stumbling Piero catches up with football!!

"Piero !!!!!"

In the midst of the Italian commentator's elongated roar, Piero pushed with his right foot, and the ball flew towards the goal with a strong spin against the turf!

Schmeichel fell to the ground to save, the ball went around the tips of his fingers, and then, under the action of the spin, the ball turned on the ground and hit the post from the back point....

The soccer ball bounced off the post and into the goal!

Alejandro......... Del Piero!!!!!!! ”

The narrator on the commentary bench roared in a long voice.

The Juventus fans in the stands were boiling and they jumped from their seats!!

After the goal, the veteran Piero pulled his shirt and roared towards the corner flag area!! The Juventus players also rushed out, they didn't think it would be so difficult before the game started!

The Prince of Zebras is running wild in this stadium!

Piero was quickly pushed to the ground by the other Juventus players, and Juventus' celebration was crazy!

Buffon also clenched his fists on the goalline and swung it into the sky! Buffon's neck with his mouth wide open and roaring explodes! It shows the excitement in the veteran's heart!

Ferrara and his assistants on the sidelines are in a mess!!

"Piero!! Piero equalized for Juventus!! Prince Zebra's stunning performance in the penalty area, scoring a goal, and now the score has become 1-1! Lightkinson said with some regret.

With the veteran Piero's individual performance in the penalty area, Juventus equalized! Score ...... One-to-one!!
