Chapter 296: Death Penalty
Perhaps, Quaresma's taking the player's salary and the manager's heart makes him want to laugh at himself, but be careful, it's always right.
It's just that the development of things really made Quaresma scratch his head, and he never expected that Alp almost became Arsenal's home stadium.
A few minutes into the game, Emerson received a yellow card for too much scrambling, and a few minutes later, Nedved followed in Emerson's footsteps, and the same yellow card was added, which made Quaresma completely confused.
couldn't help but look at the referee, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, could it be that he was bought by Arsenal?
This is the Alp Stadium, how do you feel that the scale is a bit biased towards Arsenal?
Juventus fans in the stands booed constantly, Juventus players kept protesting to the referee, they should not be treated for such defensive actions, and even Juventus head coach Capello kept spraying something at the fourth official outside the stadium, his expression was extremely angry.
Glancing at Henry, I thought that Henry would have some inside information, but through Henry's equally confused eyes, Quaresma knew that Henry didn't know anything either.
To say that Arsenal bought the referee, Quaresma certainly didn't believe it, but he had no way to explain what went wrong.
However, after a while of the game, Quaresma began to see the way out.
The referee is not biased towards Arsenal, but today's referee's penalty scale is a bit strict, many actions that can be taken out of the card but not taken out of the card, the referee has chosen the former, as if there is a performance appraisal, take out one more yellow card to get more money.
Quaresma estimates that it may be because Juve have received too much special care in Serie A, so that they have lost their judgment of their own tackles.
Of course, Arsenal may not be much better now, after all, the British Premier League, the hot physical confrontation is indispensable, and after a while, Flamini also received a yellow card, which made Juventus psychologically balanced.
couldn't help but want to laugh, Quaresma knew how could UEFA be controlled by Juve, even if it was cooperation, Juventus might not be qualified.
Juve's current lifeless style of play is not treated well by UEFA, even if UEFA wants to set a benchmark, there is nothing Juventus can do, and if you don't take advantage of you, UEFA is kind, and you still expect them to take care of you?
UEFA has never been a fair place, they have all kinds of considerations related to their own interests, if it is beneficial to them, then they will do it if they are scolded, but if there is no benefit at all, why should they do it next to scolding, is it cheap?
In contrast, Arsenal's style of play is much more gorgeous than Juve, UEFA did not guarantee Arsenal, which is already considered fair, and Juventus should not expect special treatment!
The hanging heart has finally been put down, and now, Quaresma can play well.
Nedved played, Juve's strength really improved, the offensive center of gravity began to tilt to the left, although Nedved is not a breakthrough strongman, but his control and impact on the wing, but better than many breakthrough wing players.
However, Arsenal's defense today is also very targeted, with three defensive midfielders lined up, enough to cover the width of the pitch completely, plus Lauren's ready fill, which does not give Nedved a chance to impact Arsenal's defense at all.
Soon, halfway through the first half, Juventus was so slow that they did not have a single threat attack, but Arsenal's rapid counterattack threatened Juve's defense several times, making Juve slowly dare not press too forward.
Speaking of which, Juve's tactics are indeed a bit embarrassing, Capello's team is not very strong in attack, relying on counterattacks and pressing can defeat most opponents, but now against Arsenal, this trick is not very effective.
There is no way, Capello can only let the team start to cross frequently, at least this can play a general threat, Trezeguet's header is still worth looking forward to, and Campbell did not play today, Senderos alone may not be able to effectively limit the French striker.
As a result, Juve's threat increased dramatically, and Trezeguet grabbed the spot on both crosses, forcing Lehmann to make a save, causing a stir in front of the Arsenal goal.
Quaresma is still not involved in the defense, at this stage, he cherishes his physical fitness on the field, he knows that even if he is actively defending on the wing, he will not be able to stop Juventus's cross, rather than spinning around like a fly without a head, it is better to wait for the rabbit to play a counterattack.
At least, Arsenal don't have to worry too much about Juventus turning the tables right now.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Quaresma to rejoice in his decision, Lehman hugged Piero's weak header, and drove forward with a big foot, at this time, Quaresma had already rushed forward, not far away, Henry and Ljungberg, who were also ready to attack, and the attitude of three arrows made the Alp Stadium let out an exclamation.
It's so sharp!
It's three to three again!
Arsenal's counter-attack now seems to have become a first-class weapon, even more threatening than a positional attack.
As long as the ball hits the empty frontcourt, the three people are equivalent to three sharp blades, slammed into the opponent's chest, and blood flows all over the ground.
Quaresma leaned on the starting Grigra to unload the ball, deftly turned and wiped it, and left Grigra behind him again, striding towards the Juventus penalty area, Griegra is a fierce player, actually only slightly slowed down Quaresma's forward speed, but can not form an effective defense at all, looking at Quaresma's galloping back, everyone can't help but let out a weak sigh.
However, Quaresma did not be reckless on his own, Cannavaro pressed up, and the timing was just right, so that Quaresma did not have full confidence to break through in the high-speed dribble, so Quaresma simply chose to pass.
Henry received the pass, turned his back to the goal and half-turned to wipe the momentum, and was about to rush into the penalty area, Thuram stuck Henry, not giving him a chance to pass, but the next second, Thuram was like ashes, because the ball was no longer at Henry's feet, and in the process of just turning, Henry had already passed the ball to Ljungberg.
Sweden hurried up and didn't waste Henry's feeding, a bite into the stomach, Buffon faced Ljungberg's single knife, there is no good way, although he was later called the god Buffon, but he can't be a real god, such a single knife, any goalkeeper can do not much.
The ball is in!
Arsenal directly sentenced Juventus to death at the Alp Stadium!
