Chapter 304: Champions Cup Final (3)
Pire's second win was followed by a long-range shot that was much more reliable than Davis's, and Peruzzi threw his massive body into the air before barely using his fingertips to get the ball off the line. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
This was Bordeaux's first threatening counter-attack of the game, and Bordeaux's counter-attack now relied on three men, Pire, Nedved and Shevchenko, and Shevchenko was more on the sidelines.
Although Bordeaux's counterattack is still more threatening in the eyes of Vincent, it still did not cause much shock to Juventus, and the players who should attack are still attacking, and there are still so many people who stay behind to defend.
However, Zidane was frozen, and Juventus's offensive efficiency was greatly reduced, and the current attack was either crossed from both sides, or the two midfielders forced a pass into the penalty area.
In the former case, Juventus' two strikers could not grab the high point, while in the latter case, the ball was often destroyed by the defender before it could be passed into the penalty area, and even if it was passed into the box, the accuracy of the two strikers was not ideal under the pressure of the defender.
In the 39th minute, Deschamps passed directly to the penalty area, and Inzaghi took the ball in the penalty area, but at this time Song had already leaned in, and his body was close to Inzaghi to prevent him from turning around.
This time was no exception, Inzaghi saw that there was no hope of turning directly, so he took the ball back and then turned and shot. Such a shot was weak, the ball slowly rolled towards the Bordeaux goal, Chilavert held the ball, and launched a quick counterattack with a long pass.
But this time, Juventus's two backs, Deschamps and Davies, returned to the defense quickly, and Bordeaux's counterattack became a 3-on-5 situation, and Shevchenko had no choice but to pass the ball back, and Bordeaux continued his time-wasting journey.
It is estimated that Lippi had anticipated this situation before the game, even if Bordeaux was constantly wasting time, Juventus did not deliberately press, and when it was their turn to attack, they were not in a hurry, looking for opportunities step by step.
In the 43rd minute, when Juventus was reversing the ball in the midfield, it was suddenly passed by Deschamps, and Piero took the ball in the upper left corner of the penalty area this time, which is commonly known as the Piero area.
The area on the left side of the forbidden area and its front edge is the "Piero Zone"!
This time the position is right at the edge of the penalty area, although Piero has Gamara in front of him, but now Piero has his own self-confidence, he doesn't even look at Gamarra, his right foot to the left side of the ball, a slight flash of a gap and shoot.
Not only was the shot powerful, but it made an arc and went towards the top left corner of the goal, but fortunately Piero didn't have enough time to exert his power, and the ball was not very fast, so Chilavert could move over and shoot the ball off the line.
"It's terrible, this can be shot" Fan Shang was also shocked into a cold sweat. "It seems that the perception of Piero has to be redefined."
In fact, Fan Shang's impression of Piero is still in the middle and late stages of his career, when his physical fitness and physical fitness declined, and he was unable to secure his main position at Juventus. But now look at Piero on the field, he is definitely the best in the world.
However, it is no longer possible to dedicate a person to defend Piero, after all, the loss of one person will make Bordeaux's zone defense porous.
The last attack of the first half was done by Juventus, who won a free-kick at the edge of the box in the final moments of stoppage time, and Zidane, who had been holding back for a while, took the initiative to take the free-kick.
Zidane's free throws have always been short, mainly relying on arcs to win, this time is no exception, Zidane's free throws around the wall and ran towards the bottom right corner of the goal, Chilavert fell to the ground, but did not touch the ball, just when everyone thought Zidane was going to score this free kick, the ball hit the outside of the right post and bounced off the bottom line.
"Huh" Fan Shang was really shocked into a cold sweat on the sidelines, if this goal is scored, it will not only make Bordeaux fall behind, but also bring a great blow to Bordeaux psychologically.
After this attack, the German referee blew the whistle directly at the end of the half.
"We saw that the managers of both teams, Vincent and Lippi, entered the tunnel quickly, and both of them had serious faces." Charbido said after half-time. "Michelle, what do you think of the first half of both teams."
"In the first half, both teams played a little restrained, after all, it was the final," Platini said, "To be honest, the technical characteristics of both teams are actually similar, both are mainly defensive counter-attacks, but today in terms of defense, Bordeaux did a more thorough job, while Juventus today was more focused on attacking." β
"Yes, but I think Juventus was forced to attack by Bordeaux, after all, from the beginning of the game, Bordeaux was going for the penalty shootout." Charbidaux begins with the Platini discussion.
"Yes, Bordeaux appeared in the game today as a completely underdog, except for a few counterattacks after Juventus attacked, Bordeaux was either defending or reversing the ball at the rest of the time, and they did not attack even once in a positional battle." Platini also agreed with Charbido's statement, "But Bordeaux's defense today is really good, especially the veteran DudiΓ¨re, he really froze Zidane, we can look at Zidane's statistics, his ball is basically in his own half, and his passing is also based on return passes and crossings, and there are very few forward passes." β
The two commentators analysed the situation at half-time, while the managers of both teams were not idle.
"Zinedin, can't you get out of the defense?" Lippi questioned, "You can't get rid of your running, but what do you rely on, your strongest is the technique of your feet, pulling the ball, turning, smashing the ball, etc., use these skills to try to get past that midfielder." β
Zidane just nodded to indicate that he knew, and did not say a word, this is Zidane's character.
"Egard, Didier, the two of you will go forward in the second half, Bordeaux will not attack in the second half, their goal is a penalty shootout, you two don't care about defense, strengthen long-range shots and direct passes, try to give to the left." Lippi continued to order, "Alexander, Pippo, you continue to look for opportunities in the box, stay away from the two Bordeaux centre-backs and try to make as little physical contact as possible. β
