Chapter 714: Heavy Barrier Sami Khedira

A piece of news came out at the end of 2012 that left a deep impression on many fans.

Li Liang, who was still a senior at the time, remembers the main content of the news to this day.

One day in October 2012, Bonucci, who has become the absolute main force of Juventus' defense, was shopping with his wife and children in his spare time, when he just got out of the car and was suddenly robbed by gangsters at gunpoint!

Bonucci did not hesitate to turn around and knock the robber to the ground with a heavy punch, the hapless robber got up and ran away, Bonucci actually tried to chase after him, until he heard his wife's frightened cry in the car, he calmed down, stopped chasing the gangsters and turned to comfort his wife and children.

Because of this amazing deed, Li Liang has always remembered the tough guy Bonucci vividly until the moment of the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

He didn't mean to provoke his opponent, and when he calmed down, he was surprised by his reaction just now.

When he saw that his teammates had all reached the best form of the season, Li Liang secretly made up his mind before he came out, just like the heart-to-heart words with his teammates in that tactical class, he would definitely not take even half a step back today.

He saw Bonucci glaring at him fiercely, and Juve's number 19 pointed to his eyes.

Li Liang thought to himself, this guy must make me be careful, right?!

Sorry, I'm here to win the game, not to make friends with you! Listen to it!

The ball was again at the feet of Pjanic, who had moved to the right, and this time Mendy and Moutinho both rushed at the same time.

Pjanic gave up on the forward pass and pulled back quickly to pass the ball to Khedira.

Li Liang had already judged this passing route, and he held his breath and accelerated towards Khedira, ready to make a steal the moment the opponent received the ball!

Khedira immediately turned around and raised his arms to lower his center of gravity, Li Liang gritted his teeth and crashed into the German side - he didn't expect Khedira, who is 1.89 meters tall, to react so quickly, and in a hurry, Li Liang simply tried to break Juve's possession with a collision.

Li Liang bounced off and fell on the turf, he felt as if he had hit an iron tower!

Khedira steadied himself and passed the ball back to Barzagli, then turned and yelled at Li Liang. As a key member of the 2014 Brazil World Cup winners, Li Liang's snatch made the Germans feel extremely annoyed.

The audience booed, the clash with Bonucci just now, and now the ferocious pressing of Khedira, Li Liang has completely become the public enemy of Juventus Arena.

Nearly 1,000 Monaco fans who accompanied the team on the expedition were completely "drowned" by the loud crusade against Li Liang.

Juve quickly hit the ball to the front, and the back line immediately followed the midfield as a whole, and Bonucci took the opportunity to rush to Li Liang's side and shouted: "You really Sami (Khedira)!"

Boy, you better be careful! ”

Li Liang didn't care about Bonucci, he was still in shock.

I've met opponents who are almost as strong as Khedira, but it's rare to have such a speed of reaction with such height and weight!

Allegri symbolically roared in the command area, waving his hand at the fourth official in protest: "What is the referee doing?

He should have sent the number 17 off. ”

However, everything that happened in the first five minutes was expected by the Juventus boss.

After the match against Torino, Allegri asserted in tactics that the match would be full of physical collisions and fouls: "...... Monaco are well aware that we have a technical advantage, so they will definitely elevate their physicality to try and disrupt our rhythm of possession.

So, we need Sami in midfield to protect our space......"

Allegri knows very well that Khedira's characteristics are right for the current situation, and it can even be said that in a sense, such fierce confrontations can bring out the best of Khedira's strengths.

Lippi said to Gaudino: "Monaco are pressing so hard, can they have the fitness to support this style of play? ”

Gaudino replied: "It's a young team with a lot of talent.

Don't worry about their physical fitness, even Lee can now reach more than 10,000 running distances in high confrontation! ”

Pep Guardiola and his aides analysed the style of play between the two sides, saying: "Monaco has to attack.

In the last game, their wide attack was completely ineffective, so Yaldim made a major change, with the biggest change in the new formation being the two wings.

But it looks as if Allegri has fully met the tactics of his opponents, with Juve struggling to maintain their rhythm.

Khedira is their most crucial point, a player who has strengthened Juve's midfield. ”

Jardim began to get anxious, and as in the previous game, his every move was seen by his opponents, so the game would soon be back in Juve's control.

Early in the game, he devised a tactic of putting pressure on Juventus with high-intensity high pressing, increasing the speed of the ball as much as possible, and bringing the game to the rhythm of Monaco's most familiar attacking and defensive action.

Li Liang had already keenly discovered that the presence of Khedira had completely rendered his tactical design completely ineffective.

Despite his average pace, the German has repeatedly occupied the most crucial positions in the midfield with good awareness and overall vision, and his excellent vision and excellent passing ability have allowed him to successfully link up the central midfield under the impact of opponents.

As the core of the midfield and the playmaker of the attack, Li Liang happened to form a counterpoint with Khedira.

He understood that if the Germans could not get past them, Monaco's tactics would be successfully countered by their opponents.

The key to this is the one-on-one with Khedira that he has to face.

Monaco organized the attack, Li Liang returned to the halfway line to get the ball, Moutinho kept a distance from him and pressed together, and Mendy and Sidibi on both sides had pressed at high speed.

As soon as Li Liang took the ball, the Juventus Arena quickly resounded with huge boos.

Dybala chased back, Li Liang quickly transferred the ball to Moutinho, and the Portuguese veteran had to pass the ball back to Jemersen when he was pressed by Pjanic.

Li Liang shook off Dybala, ran back to the backfield to ask for the ball, and after the boos scared the ball, he quickly turned around and adjusted his big foot long pass to Mendy, who had rushed to the front.

Mendy stopped the ball and began to attack Alves's wing, and Li Liang was already running forward at full speed.

According to the layout of the tactical class, Khedira chose a position in advance to prepare to defend Li Liang's off-ball run, and Mendy failed to break through and tried to return the ball with his back to protect the ball.

He saw that the angle of his pass to Li Liang was just stuck by Khedira, and he immediately hesitated.

Behind him, Alves stretched out his leg to poke the ball down, Mendy failed to counter-attack, and the Brazilian quickly moved the ball to Higuain, who retreated.

Juve made three passes and two passes to the front of the court, and finally Sandro took the ball from the left, Mandzukic beat Glick to jump up and head the goal, and Subasic struggled to save the ball!

Amid the thunderous cheers of the whole stadium, Bonucci snatched the spot again in the ensuing corner, and his powerful header at the back post went just over the crossbar to almost give Juve the lead!

In the ninth minute of the opening game, Juve almost scored with two headers in a row, and Yaldim was restless.

Could it be that everyone's efforts can't even see the hope of 10 minutes?!
