Chapter 722 The Champions League semifinals are beckoning!

A big win!

It has stabilized all over Manchester City.

The fans are also relieved, after Gao Bo returns, the team's victory is still guaranteed!

However, Manchester United and Chelsea also won in this round.

As a result, the league has not changed much in favor of Manchester City.

And now for Manchester City, even worse, Manchester United and Chelsea don't have to go to the Champions League!

They just need to concentrate on the league and especially Manchester United!

Manchester City will travel to Turin for a game against Juventus, and then come back for a Manchester derby away from home against Manchester United, which will determine the course of the league title!

After continuous tough battles, I don't know if Manchester City has the thickness of this bench.

Perhaps the only good news is that Kaka is back from injury!

.........

After Manchester City won this game, they are about to leave for Italy.

In England, the media is also starting to focus on Manchester City's Champions League journey.

This season, Manchester City reached the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time and then managed to reach the quarter-finals.

Juventus are undoubtedly a formidable opponent, and now Juventus are the leaders of Serie A, and they have a much better lead than Manchester City.

Serie A has been played for 30 rounds, and Juventus have 21 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, with 68 points.

Although they are not as efficient at picking points as the top three teams in the Premier League, look no further than Napoli behind them.

Napoli are now second in Serie A, with only 58 points, a full 10 points behind Juventus!

And before the start of this Champions League game, Juventus also won a crucial victory!

In the thirtieth round of Serie A, Juventus challenged Inter Milan away!

It was a war between two absolute mortal enemies, and it was Italy's national derby.

In the end, Juventus defeated Inter Milan 2-1 with the goals of Matri and Cagliarella! Having won the Italian national derby, Juventus was in the prime of their momentum.

......

Manchester City arrived in Turin two days before the game!

As soon as the Manchester City players showed up, reporters rushed to the airport.

However, the players ignored the long guns and short guns stretched out by the reporters, and they walked on the bus to the hotel with blank faces.

That night, such a scene appeared on Italian television.

"Whether it's the Manchester City players or the coaches, their expressions are very solemn. Despite a big win in Manchester City's last league game, it wasn't long ago that they suffered a defeat with a 2-1 defeat away to Everton, and it is worth mentioning that this was City's first league defeat!! ”

In the footage of Turin TV, with the Manchester City players walking out of the airport, the host said.

At the same time, Juventus manager Antonio Conte also came to the show.

Opposite a blonde hostess with a bulging back, Conte looked very relaxed.

'Manchester City are undoubtedly a strong team and it was not an easy game against them.

Conte said, crossing Erlang's legs.

"How are they and how are they compared to Inter?"

"They can't compare to Inter Milan..."

Conte paused.

"Inter... Much weaker than them! ”

Allegri's words made everyone laugh out loud.

This is Turin TV, and the host and guests of this show are naturally fans of Juventus.

Before the big game, Juventus did not forget to step on Inter Milan.

.......

On the afternoon of his arrival in Turin, Gao Bo led the team to the Turin club's training base.

This is Juventus's sworn enemy in the same city, and to provide convenience for Juventus' opponents, Torino is naturally happy.

The training in the afternoon was mainly focused on physical recovery, and the team did not arrange a large amount of training content.

In the first fifteen minutes of the training session, Gao Bo was interviewed by the media.

"Juventus are a strong team and we need to take it seriously!"

"Experience? We are not short of experience! My players are very mentally stable professionals. We've got Ballon d'Or winners like Kaka and we've got more players with Champions League experience. ”

Gao Bo said in front of reporters.

Before the trip to Turin, there was such a concern in the media in England.

That's the question of City's Champions League experience.

In the league, Manchester City are one of the strongest teams in the Premier League, but this is their first Champions League quarter-final – all new to City.

As a result, the media in England believe that Manchester City may face a tough battle away from home.

.......

In Turin, however, the pro-Juventus media are bringing up the same thing.

In the Europa League that year, Luton led by Gao Bo eliminated Juventus and then won the championship all the way!

Those two games, Juventus fans are memorable!

Especially in the second leg between the two sides, Luton won 4-1 against Juventus!

The dignified Serie A giants lost so badly when facing a third-tier team.

This is certainly seen as a disgrace by Juventus.

Although it was not Luton Town who visited Turin this time, they had the same manager!

"Gobo led Luton Town to Juventus and now he leads Manchester City back to Turin, I think this is Juventus' chance to get revenge!!

The newspaper Torino Sport published Juventus' declaration of battle.

Many Juventus fans also have this idea.

The heavy defeat to a third-tier team has always haunted Juventus fans.

......

"I was impressed with that fight, but I don't think it was a revenge fight. It's just a normal Champions League game. ”

In his pre-match press conference, Conte was also asked about revenge.

Conte didn't have any thoughts of "revenge".

In Conte's view, Juventus and Manchester City are innocent, and it was Luton Town who beat Juventus, and the manager at the time was not Conte, and now Juventus's players have changed.

There is no point in bringing up the old thing now.

"I want the team to win, we want to get to the last four or even the final!"

And Buffon, who followed Conte's press conference, said with a look of longing.

In the 2003 Champions League final, Buffon and Juventus lost to AC Milan on penalties in the final!

This is one of the permanent regrets of Buffon's career.

And this season's Juventus has performed well in the league and the Champions League, and Buffon certainly hopes that his team can reach the Champions League final again.

......

Manchester City and Juventus have not played each other in their history, so while the media try to find all kinds of gimmicks, the coaches and players on both sides are very low-key.

In such an atmosphere, the time for the competition is getting closer and closer.

April 3, Turin, Juventus Stadium!

The Apennine Peninsula in the Mediterranean Sea is still a pleasant day, with a light breeze blowing, and although the sky has darkened, you can still see the still dull blue sky in the gray night, and a few white clouds drifting from the horizon, which are reflected in the lights of Juventus.

The stadium, which can accommodate 41,000 people, is already full!

In the 2012-2013 season, the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, Juventus faced Manchester City at home, and it is about to begin!

In the enthusiastic uproar of the scene, the two managers walked out of the players' tunnel almost at the same time.

Conte waved towards the stands as he walked.

The manager of Juventus, after taking over Juventus, quickly pulled the team out of the trough, last season, Juventus finally won the Serie A title, after a gap of nine years, Juventus finally came out of the shadow of the phone gate and reached the top of Serie A again!

And this season, Conte's team has gone all the way to the quarterfinals in the Champions League, and Juventus fans will naturally have more expectations for the team's prospects in the Champions League!

Beat Manchester City and reach the semi-finals!

Juventus fans are looking forward to it.

Gao Bo was expressionless, he walked to his coach's seat, then sat down, turned his head and discussed something with his assistants.

Although he has played against Juventus before, this is his first time at this stadium – it was only opened in 2011.

Juventus seems to have changed their luck after opening the new stadium, in Gao Bo's memory - of course, another out-of-control memory, Juventus opened the starting point of dominating Serie A after opening the new stadium, from 2011 to 2018, for seven consecutive years, Juventus Serie A has dominated seven consecutive years!

Of course, I don't know if Gao Bo's butterfly effect will have any impact on Juventus' Serie A hegemony - in Gao Bo's view, this impact seems to be limited, after all, Juventus's advantage in the league every year is still quite large.

However, Gao Bo also knows that Juventus are strong in Serie A, but under Conte, Juventus' Champions League games are not so strong - which is one of the reasons why Conte finally stepped down from Juventus.

"We guessed well before the game, Juventus did not change the formation, it is still a 352 formation, and the main force is exhausted." Moya said.

"Looks like our opponent is confident!" Gao Bo nodded.

"Of course, this is their home turf."

..........

Just as Gao Bo and Moya were chatting.

Conte sat down in the dugout.

Now Conte can be said to be full of ambition.

Conte's coaching philosophy can also be said to be an extension of Sacchi's main management: more emphasis is placed on one-person organizational discipline, emphasizing the execution of the manager's tactical arrangements by the players.

This is very similar to Gao Bo a few years ago. And now Gao Bo has more flexibility on this basis.

Gao Bo believes that football is a human sport after all, and people are not machines. So he began to emphasize flexibility, began to have more protection and encouragement for the individual play of the attacking players, and he even began to allow the players to act according to their own judgment, and no longer overemphasized the overriding importance of organizational discipline.

Of course, organizational discipline is needed.

But Gao Bo prefers to use this on defense, and on the offensive end, in addition to tactics, sometimes a player's flash of inspiration can also create unexpected results.

......

In this game, Conte basically presented Juventus' best squad at the moment.

The goalkeeper is, of course, Buffon, and on the back line, there are three central defenders, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, and then five midfielders, Vidal, Pirlo, and Marchisio in the middle, and the wingbacks on both sides are Lichtsteiner and Peruso!

Vidal and Marchisio protect the backline while providing protection for Andrea Pirlo, the heart of the team's midfield, and up front, a combination of Cagliarella and Matri.

On Manchester City's side, Gao Bo also sent the best team for Manchester City recently.

Goalkeeper Oblak. On the back line, the center-back combination is Kompany and Maguire, right wing-back Kieran Trippier, left full-back Kolarov, two midfielders Casemiro and Fernandinho, Kaka in front, David Silva on the left, Griezmann on the right, and Hazard in the forward!

"It's a game where both sides are the main players! Juventus, who are playing at home, may continue their usual tactical thinking, and look for opportunities to attack again when they are solid defensively! ”

"This game may be more flat, Juventus's calm and spicy defense is their biggest asset, they are the team that concedes the fewest goals in Serie A, after 30 rounds of the league, Juventus only conceded 13 goals, the only team in Serie A that conceded less than 20 goals!! And Manchester City's attacking group can be called luxurious, David Silva, Kaka, Griezmann, Hazard! Such an attacking combination is very sharp, so to speak, it is a contradiction! ”

As the players from both sides entered the stadium, the commentators expressed their opinions.

Their views are of course well-founded, and most of the time, you can say that Juventus football is conservative and unpassionate.

They are always too cautious, or they would not have the title of old woman.

But their set can guarantee victory.

Conte won the league title last season with this set of tactics, and Conte himself is a manager who admires such a prudent and prudent tactic.

Therefore, before the game even started, it was widely predicted that no matter what the final result of this game was, there would not be too many goals in the game.

As the name suggests, the Juventus team is an "old woman" who is accustomed to the wind and rain, cautious, calm and capable.

What they do best is to take out their opponents in a slow pace.

........

At the beginning of the game, it was Manchester City who kicked off first.

For this characteristic of Juventus, Gao Bo is naturally very clear.

Kaka is certainly clear.

Although Juventus' sworn enemy is Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus do not have a good relationship.

When Kaka entered the stadium, he was booed by Juventus.

Now as soon as he gets the ball, the boos are even louder!

Juventus' players are obviously also aware of Kaka's characteristics, so as soon as he gets the ball, Juventus' formation begins to shrink.

Juventus, for their part, appear to be very cautious.

Kaka, on the other hand, passed the ball to Fernandinho and then ran a few steps forward of his own, and after attracting Vidal's attention, he suddenly retreated a few steps and reached for the ball.

Fernandinho passed the ball over again.

Vidal was going to get to Kaka, but David Silva was moving sideways and reaching for the ball.

Vidal changed his mind and stared at David Silva.

And Kaka really made a passing move.

Andrea Pirlo is a midfield maestro, but when it comes to defending, he's not really very good at it.

This Italian boy who seems to have never woken up on the field disdains to do the dirty work of defense.

He was able to stick out his foot and interfere with Kaka and it was done.

However, Kaka was not going to pass the ball this time, and he also saw Vidal's move.

With a snap of his right foot, he walked past Pirlo.

At this time, Juventus' defence was still very intact and Kaka did not see a suitable passing line.

He looked at the goal, it was still quite far from it, but Kaka decided to shoot from distance.

Anyway, the game has just begun, so it's not bad to try the crosshairs of a long-range shot first.

Before the game, Gao Bo let the players play more long-range shots.

He knows the characteristics of Juventus, and for such a team, it is still very difficult to tear apart their defense by constantly passing the ball, and Gao Bo simply let the team play simpler.

"Pass, shoot from distance, make set-pieces!"

Gao Bo's emphasis before the game is still in my ears.

So Kaka immediately drew his bow and arrows!

"Kaka shoots.... It's a bit far away...."

As soon as the commentator spoke, Kaka's right foot exploded, and the football flew towards the goal like a cannonball!!

Gianluigi Buffon was ready for it, and he saw Kaka's intention to shoot with his feet.

Despite the speed of the ball, it was impossible for such a shot to penetrate Buffon's handle.

Juventus fans, including Juventus coaches on the sidelines, didn't think the goal was dangerous.

However, to everyone's surprise.

Vidal, who had been following David Silva, did not see Kaka's shot.

So, when the football came roaring, as soon as he turned his head, before he could react, the football hit him in the face and bounced to the ground, just landing at the feet of David Silva!

Vidal was blindfolded in the face by Kaka's shot and before he could react, David Silva was not welcome!

He rushed straight up and volleyed with the instep of his left foot!

The ball flew towards the goal against the ground, and before everyone could react, the ball had already flown into the bottom right corner.

Buffon had moved ahead to block Kaka's long-range shot, so when David Silva shot, he moved very quickly, but he only had time to react, and by the time he arrived, the ball had already drilled into the goal against the inside edge of the post, and he didn't have time to touch the ball....

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！ David Silva!!! David Silva!!! Manchester City lead Juventus 1-0 away from home!! With less than a minute to go, Manchester City were ahead!! Who would have thought before the game that the old woman Juventus would also concede the goal so quickly? ”

"Thirty-six seconds, to be exact!! Thirty-six seconds into the opening scene!! Man City scored!! Juventus are in trouble at the moment, they have to press the attack, and in the two knockout rounds, Manchester City have already scored an away goal, and they have the advantage!! ”

David Silva was so excited after the goal that he burst to the sideline laughing, waving his fists in celebration before turning around.

Eden Hazard, who arrived first, pounced and jumped on David Silva.

Where could the skinny David withstand such a blow, he was immediately thrown to the ground by Hazard.

Then the City players rushed up and pounced on the two men, celebrating the goal together.

In fact, Gao Bo didn't expect the team to score so quickly.

There was an element of surprise in the goal, but in any case, it gave City the upper hand!

He was still writing and drawing in his notebook, and he was even ready for a 0-0 first half - he had studied the Juventus team these days, but they defended very well and were very resilient!

It's a tough opponent.

But now this goal has made Manchester City's situation suddenly brighter.

Juventus' conditions for stability are gone.

They slowed down the tempo and City could go with the flow.

It's a big deal to play 1-0 away from home.

Such a result is quite good for Manchester City, but for Juventus, it is quite passive.

That's why Conte looked so angry after conceding the goal.

He was very unhappy with his team's distraction at that moment.

Everyone was drawn attention to Kaka's long-range shot and forgot about the marking of other City players for a while.

At the moment when David Silva got up to shoot, there were no Juventus players stepping forward to interfere?

Antonio Conte roared from the sidelines, and the Juventus players on the pitch were also in the water.

Conceding a goal just in the opening kick-off was a heavy blow for Juventus.

However, Juventus are a team that lives up to their nickname of "Old Lady" and they did not panic after conceding a goal.

After the resumption of the game, the leading Manchester City immediately adopted a more secure counter-attacking strategy.

This is also Gao Bo's pre-match arrangement.

He didn't want the team to gnaw on the opponent's complete defense, and the defense was Juventus' strongest point, so Manchester City naturally shrank back after taking the lead, ready to play Juventus' counterattack.

Juventus gradually took control of the game, and they slowly pushed the line through the half, looking very calm.

In the eleventh minute, Quagliarella created a set-piece opportunity in front.

Andrea Pirlo came to take the penalty.

It was a free-kick from a long distance from goal, but Pirlo still managed to hit a ball with great speed.

The ball went just over the crossbar and scared the Manchester City players!

"Ahhh Pirlo!! What a shame!!!! ”

The Italian commentator held his head in regret.

"Pirlo... It's dangerous!! ”

England's commentators were stunned by Pirlo's handling of the free-kick.

"Manchester City need to be careful, the opponent is not without any attacking methods, Pirlo's free-kick is very threatening, Manchester City need to avoid free-kicks in dangerous positions as much as possible!"

......

Pirlo's free-kick, although it didn't score, set off a frenzy of Juventus' attack!

In the thirteenth minute of the game, Vidal shot from a distance after a false shot in the middle!

The soccer ball sticks into the upright and goes out of the bottom line!!

In the fifteenth minute of the game, Pirlo picked up a pass to the side, Lichtsteiner crossed to the side, Matri inserted a header in the middle to attack the goal, and under the interference of Maguire's defense, the football was held high!

In the seventeenth minute of the game, Juventus' attack returned.

Pirlo had a long-range shot from the edge of the box that was saved by Oblak, and then Quagliarella's follow-up shot was cleared by Kompany!!

Juventus' offensive is getting more and more intense.

Juventus fans also made a huge noise in support of their team.

In such an atmosphere, not to mention the Manchester City players on the field, even Gao Bo frowned.

In the twenty-third minute of the game, a scene that worried Manchester City fans appeared.

Goalscorer David Silva fell to the ground after a confrontation with Barzagli and then lay on the ground clutching his left thigh.

The team doctor hurried in to check, and finally he made a gesture.

David Silva can't hold on and has to be replaced!

Gao Bo finally made up his mind.

"Can't kick like that anymore! Let Dzeko warm up!! ”

He turned to Moya and beckoned Kaka, Griezmann and Hazard to come over.

"Go back and tell the players that we can't let them go on like this anymore, we're controlling the tempo and pushing them back!!"

"Dzeko will make the ball for you later, try to shoot more from outside the box!!"

This time can't be too complicated, Gao Bo simply said, and pushed the two back to the court.

"Manchester City are ready to make a substitution, David Silva is injured, and Gobo looks like the player he is going to replace is Dzeko!!"

"Dzeko is ready to play, Manchester City make a passive substitution!!"

"In the first half more than 20 minutes, David Silva was injured, Manchester City lost a big man up front, and was forced to use a substitution!!"

The commentators said one after another.

Manchester City fans are also starting to worry about the team.

Although the team is now leading by one goal, this series of unfavorable factors seems to make it difficult for Manchester City to retreat from Juventus....

.......

Conte saw the scene of Gao Bo constantly calling the players on the pitch to teach them in person.

He knew City were going to have to make a change.

Although he didn't know what adjustments Gao Bo would make, Conte was full of confidence inside.

At this stage of the game, Juventus had the advantage, except for the score behind, Juventus had the advantage in other aspects.

In this case, Conte can naturally wait and see, and his team does not need to rush to change!!

However, when the game resumed, Conte found that Juventus's previous smooth and fluid attack was gone.

Because Manchester City regained possession.

Compared to control, Manchester City is not weaker than Juventus at all!

In fact, in terms of the number of midfielders, Manchester City is no less than Juventus.

The 4231 is, to some extent, also a variant of the 451 formation.

As a result, Manchester City also have a good number of players in midfield.

The two sides battled in midfield, but the result of the midfield battle was that Manchester City had the advantage!

Conte's confidence was gone, and his side were gradually being pushed down by Manchester City in midfield.

........

"After the substitutions, they gradually took control!! If the team that played better in the first 20 minutes was Juventus, then when Gobo made a change, Manchester City began to gain the upper hand! ”

"Juventus, who are one goal behind, are starting to be gradually suppressed by Manchester City!!"

'It's hard to imagine that a team from England can play such a delicate tactical combination, and the constant attempts of Antoine Griezmann and Eden Hazard on the flanks have also allowed Italian fans to see the performances of these two quality players. Once upon a time, the league that such a good player longed for the most was Serie A, but now, Serie A has begun to lag behind La Liga, behind the Premier League, and even the Bundesliga is starting to surpass Serie A. ”

The Italian commentators lamented.

Italy is the region with the most tactical aspects of football, with a large number of famous coaches and the development of football tactics such as chain defence.

And Serie A used to be the world's first league, known as the mini World Cup.

However, with the decline of the Italian economy, Serie A has also begun to decline along with the overall environment.

At least, with the exception of a few teams, such as Juventus, many Serie A teams have begun to tighten their monetary strings, and the competitiveness of Serie A has dropped a lot compared to a few years ago.

In the impression of Italians, the English team with rough tactics will also have a tactical outlier like Manchester City.

With the strengthening of the economic strength of the Premier League, there will be more and more famous coaches, including managers from Italy, to the Premier League for "tactical poverty alleviation", and I am afraid that there will be more and more English teams like Manchester City.

As for the Juventus players, they are not as smooth as they were 20 minutes before the first half.

They feel the aggrieved kick on the field.

City didn't press too much either, they just kept possession in central midfield.

And the individual ability of their players, as well as the tacit understanding and fluency of cooperation, are obviously better than Juventus.

The Italian media also seem to have this feeling, and as the game goes on, Juventus is getting more and more out of the way Manchester City can't do it.

......

Before the end of the first half, Manchester City scored again!

In the 39th minute of the game, just after the two teams were tangled in midfield for more than ten minutes, Manchester City suddenly launched an attack.

Manchester City's sneak attack caught Juventus off guard.

Griezmann came to the midfield to receive the ball and launched a long pass, Dzeko headed back in the penalty area, and on the penalty line, Kaka stopped the ball and aimed at the bottom right corner with a volley!

Buffon can't reach the whip, and the football is in the net again!

"Kaka!!!! Pretty!!!! Manchester City scored the second goal of the game!! Before the game, it was expected to be a close game, but now it seems that this is not the case, and Juventus, playing at home, looked a little weak against Manchester City, and the Serie A champions were almost tactically knocked out at home! ”

"Manchester City scored the second goal comfortably, and from the twentieth minute of this game, Juventus no longer had any advantage!!"

"Manchester City's attack was very sudden, but it was based on their technical superiority in midfield, they obviously had more control in midfield than Juventus, which was unimaginable before the game!!"

Under the silence of the Juventus Arena, the Juventus players looked very frustrated.

They didn't expect the game against Manchester City to be so tough.

........

At half-time, Gao Bo praised the team's performance, but he didn't get carried away with them.

'It's a 90-minute game and just because we played well in the first half doesn't mean we played well in the second half. I praise you because you did a great job in the first half, but don't think you can indulge in the second half. It's Juventus, they have the ability to threaten our goal! ”

"In the second half, we continued to maintain our style, drawing Juventus out with possession and then hitting their defensive weaknesses!! They have three centre-backs, but when they press up in midfield, there's space on the flanks and that's our chance!! ”

On the tactical board behind Gao Bo, several names are marked. This is the dangerous figure of Juventus that Gao Bo marked for the team before the game, and asked the team to pay attention to it.

Among them, the most conspicuous position, "Pirlo", the name is impressively listed.

Andrea Pirlo is undoubtedly a master of midfield, and for such a player, Gao Bo would not dare to take it lightly.

.........

The time of the break went very fast, and the two sides changed sides again in the second half!

Neither team made any adjustments.

At the kick-off of the second half, Juventus created a dangerous offensive by taking advantage of the kick-off.

Andrea Pirlo distributed the ball wide and Peruso cut in and crossed it into the box.

After the ball was cleared by Maguire, Marchisio fired a long-range shot from the edge of the box to force Oblak to make a save.

He pounced sideways and saved the ball off the line!

Juventus corner!!

Pirlo's corner kick was driven to the penalty area, Matri shook his head in the penalty area, the football smashed on the post and bounced back, and Trippier kicked out of the bottom line by the exclamation!

Juventus continue with corner!!

"Matri!! Ahh!!hhhhh Pity!!! Column!!!!! ”

The Italian commentator held his head, and in the stands, the Juventus fans also let out a sigh of regret.

But they soon became happy.

"Juventus started the second half and the attack was very much improved!!"

"That's how it kicks!! This is Juventus!! ”

Juventus fans applauded Juventus' performance.

However, when Manchester City snatched the ball back, Juventus fans found that Juventus' performance just now seemed to be a comeback.

Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

If Matri had scored this goal, Manchester City would have been a bit of a problem, but now....... Manchester City will basically not give Juventus any chance.

One of the hallmarks of a strong team is super control.

When City want to keep the game under control, they tend to be able to do that.

This game was not an isolated one.

What Gao Bo wants to achieve is to win, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the team's consumption should not be too large.

Because after this game, it was immediately the Manchester derby, and it was a game that could not be lost, and the intensity of the game could be imagined.

David Silva's injury was unexpected, and it has already taken a toll on Manchester City.

Previously, Gao Bo's plan was to shrink the defense and give up the space at the back to Juventus.

But he soon discovered that he underestimated Juventus and that his opponents could launch a very threatening attack.

So he quickly made the adjustment!

Let's let the team control the ball and keep the opponent back.

But in reality, City's aim is to burn the flames into the Juventus half, on the one hand, Manchester City can stop the opponent's attack, and on the other hand, Manchester City can even extend the lead.

......

Conte also saw Gao Bo's intentions, so Juventus quickly made a substitution.

He replaced Vidal in midfield, and then replaced striker Vucinic!

And then replaced Cagliarella with Giovinco!

In attack, Juventus also began to play more simply and directly.

Giovinco can bring the ability to break through, and so can Vucinic!

The sturdy Matri, on the other hand, can be used as a fulcrum up front.

Once possessed of the ball, Pirlo's long ball will be the starting point for Juventus' attack.

And the breakthrough of Vucinic and Giovinco can also bring a threat to Juventus' attack!

.......

The fighting style of the two head coaches has also made the form on the field constantly change.

In the face of Juventus's slightly more direct style of play, although the opponent has not yet threatened the goal guarded by Oblak, it has successfully disrupted the scene!

Juventus is playing a game of winning in chaos.

If the match ends with the current scoreline, it will undoubtedly be difficult for Juventus to turn the tables on the road.

But if they can score a goal, then Juventus, although it will be equally difficult, will not be as difficult as being two goals behind.

What's more, the game is still long, what if the score can be equalized?

In the 67th minute of the game, when Giovinco broke through in front of the court to create a set-piece, Gao Bo felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Pirlo's free-kick went around the wall and straight into the goal!!

One to two!

Juventus pulled a goal back!!

Pirlo !! Pretty!!! Juventus pulled a goal back!!! The score became 1-2!! There's still time!! There is still time for the game!!!! ”

The Italian commentator shouted!

Amid the cheers of the fans in the stands, Matri rushed into the goal, grabbed the ball and walked back!

The camera locks on Pirlo!

The Italian midfield maestro also waved his fists and ran quickly towards his own half!

Juventus pulled a goal back and there were more than twenty minutes left in the game, enough for them to score another goal!

Gao Bo was also a little helpless about the goal conceded, the opponent was not a fish belly, and it was almost impossible to suppress them for 90 minutes.

However, when Juventus pressed on the attack, they were counterattacked by Manchester City!

Casemiro cut off Juventus' forward pass, and then he passed the ball to Kaka!

Kaka dribbled the ball all the way to the front court and split to the right side!

Antoine Griezmann struck a smash from the right, got past Chiellini and crossed the ball to the middle!

The ball passed Dzeko's feet, but City still had players to follow!

Eden Hazard tackles at the back post!

The soccer ball flew into the goal again!!

Three-to-one!!

Manchester City extended their lead once again!!

It was also the goal at the end of the game!

As soon as three minutes of stoppage time passed, the camera locked on Conte.

The Italian coach rubbed his face with his hands before standing up and walking into the tunnel.

"A 3-1 loss at home almost means that Juventus is sentenced to death!!"

"Manchester City have already reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the most part!!"

"The game is over!! The game is over!! Manchester City won 3-1 away at Juventus, and although there is still a game between the two sides in the middle of next week, Manchester City are all but certain to advance! The chances of Juventus wanting to turn the tables are too low!! ”

The narrators said.

Gao Bo stood up from the coach's seat.

High-five each other with his assistants in celebration.

"We're going to the semifinals, right?"

Moya asked with a smile.

"Low-key, low-key..."

Gao Bo also smiled brightly....
