Chapter 964: Hope

"Shot ~~~ didn't score~~~ from Lin Dong's pick" The first half of the game has unconsciously entered the 40th minute, although Atletico still has an absolute advantage, but Lady Luck abandoned Atletico Madrid.

During this period of offensive power, Atletico Madrid's shot hit the post once, hit the crossbar once, the goalpost was Lin Dong's time, and in the 38th minute, Atletico Madrid's attack hit the crossbar.

Mandzukic, Lin Dong once again made a wedding dress for Mandzukic, rushed into the penalty area to attract the defense and then passed the ball to Mandzukic, but this time Mandzukic failed to seize the opportunity, or Lady Luck rejected him.

Lady Luck also rejected Atletico as a whole, and in the end, Atletico failed to extend the score to two goals in the first half, that is, the game was not over.

On the sidelines, Simeone was depressed, two great chances failed to score, and in the entire first half, Atletico Madrid shot fifteen times, but failed to score another goal.

"In the second half, we have to be careful of the opponent's counterattack," Simeone immediately stressed after returning to the dressing room.

"Mario, you need to drop back and participate in the defense in the second half," Cayman Dzukic then ordered.

Although the two did not communicate in private, they still had to explain what they should explain during the game, especially at intermission.

Mandzukic nodded and said that he was a contradiction, and Mandzukic's professionalism was still worthy of recognition, which was actually proven when Bayern Munich was in Munich.

Pep Guardiola is a manager who doesn't use a centre-forward, and although many people blow him to the sky, in fact he is not as good as those who blow him.

Fifteen minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and when the players from both sides met again in the tunnel of players, it was obvious that the Atletico players felt the change in the momentum of this group of opponents.

In this regard, Atletico Madrid players are not worried, they are not fledgling hairy boys, and most of the current starting lineup has experienced last season's treble, and the remaining new signings have also experienced the baptism of six crowns.

If he could, Simeone would like to play a surprise attack again in the second half, but unfortunately, Juventus did not give Atletico Madrid this opportunity, the ball was firmly controlled by Pirlo at his feet, and Juventus did not rush to attack, the midfield master is the midfield master, and the temperament and mentality are not comparable to ordinary players.

However, Atletico Madrid was not disappointed, and at halftime Simeone had clearly given a new tactic, based on defense, waiting for opportunities to counterattack, and winning steadily.

So Juventus is not in a hurry, Atletico Madrid will not be in a hurry, it is they who have the advantage, so the first ten minutes of the two sides played smoothly, although each has a goal, but the scene is not hot at all.

But that couldn't last long, and by the time the game was about 60 minutes, Juventus were starting to get a little tired, especially Pogba.

Finally, the second core of the midfield, Pogba will become Juventus' midfield engine when the ball is not there, so Pogba has not a lot of ball.

In the 60th minute, when the ball reached Pogba's feet, the Juventus midfielder began to attack Atletico Madrid's heart with the ball, but he soon ran into obstacles.

Raul Garcia, one of the biggest reasons Simeone arranged Raul Garcia to appear is to limit Pogba, the French midfielder has skills, physicality, and quite strong impact.

Therefore, the first condition for Pogba is to have a strong physique to withstand its impact, and looking at the Atletico midfield, Raul Garcia is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Strong burst, Pogba wants to force Raul Garcia, in this regard, Raul Garcia did not show weakness to go up, this is a collision between strength and body, in terms of physical fitness, Raul Garcia has absolute self-confidence, unless Pogba's physical fitness can be compared with Lin Dong.

"Paul~~~" At the critical moment, Pirlo's shout calmed Pogba down.

In this matchup, Pogba did not take advantage of anything, and the captain of Atletico Madrid has moved closer to the two, so if Pogba continues to force Raul Garcia, the final possibility is that the ball is broken.

Pogba immediately opted for a return pass and the ball returned to Pirlo's feet, but Pirlo was not as slow as before, splitting the side and Lichtsteiner, who had already crossed the halfway line along the wing.

"Cross, Tevez ~~~ The ball is cleared by Godin ~~ Maybe Juventus should consider replacing Llorente" Juventus' The attack was not over, and the ball that was cleared fell at the feet of Vidal.

"Vidal~~~Long shot~~~~Oblak~~~ The Atletico Madrid goalkeeper is very focused" The ball was held up by Oblak out of the bottom line.

Corner kick, Pirlo sent a big foot, Pogba, wheel appearance, the French midfielder is typical black and hard, but in fact, Pogba is not black and hard, although he has a certain defensive ability, physical fitness is also excellent, but compared to defense, his offensive ability is more excellent.

The header is deflected, in terms of headers, Raul Garcia will definitely not lose Pogba, although Pogba has a height advantage to Pizzi, but under Raul Garcia's defense, Pogba's header is directly above the crossbar.

Switching offense and defense, Atletico Madrid returned a header to Juventus, really need to round the header ability, especially the offensive header, Atletico Madrid can be called the strongest in today's football.

However, Lin Dong's header still failed to help Juventus rewrite the scoreline, and Lin Dong's luck seemed to be all consumed in the opening goal today.

Soon, Juventus attacked Atletico's half again, this time with Marchisio receiving a pass and attacking the heart of Atletico's heart, but after attracting the defence to split again, this time it was Patrice Evra's turn to cut in on the left.

"Morata~~~No~~~ Morata didn't hit the ball, Oblak, the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper made a timely attack to complete the clearance, and blasted the ball out with a punch."

"Pogba~~~ Pogba's header Juventus's attack is not over~~~ The ball cleared fell on Pogba's head, the header rushed to the top, and the ball flew back into the Atletico Madrid penalty area."

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Alvaro Morata ~~~ Morata ~~~ Volley ~~~ Morata volley" Pogba's header headed over the top to get the ball back into the Atletico penalty area and in front of Morata.

Although Morata still has Miranda by his side, this time Miranda stopped Morata, and Miranda stopped behind Morata.

"Hope~~~ Juventus still have hope" This goal not only equalized the score, but also brought Juventus infinite hope.
