Chapter 127: Substitution

Ribeiro was very excited today, he didn't expect that at the age of 19, he would be entrusted with such a major task by Xiao Yang in such a major competition as the Champions League final. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info before the game Coach Xiao Yang mainly arranged defensive tactics, he originally thought that he couldn't play, but he didn't expect not only to start, Xiao Yang also taught him face-to-face, let him in the midfield to help the two backs fight for control of the midfield, and then, as soon as there is a chance to break through on the left side, cross, don't stay strong, it is better to score, and the right side of Juventus is not at peace if you can't score a goal, do these two things well, his task is excellent.

Thinking of his youth academy being swept away at Sporting Lisbon, and thinking of the media's contempt for Gossau before this Champions League final, Ribeiro has a fire burning in his heart, and he wants to play his full strength in this game and let those who underestimate him know that they are wrong.

Now Ribeiro is running at all costs, which has indeed caused a lot of trouble for Juventus, Ferrarra's main attention before the game is Avandzini, Lima and Horensten, for their defense, Ferrara also made a detailed arrangement, I didn't expect that Lima and Horensten did not play at all in this game, and Avanzini was transferred to the right side, which made Ferrara's pre-game arrangement completely fail. And Avazini has been very quiet since the beginning of the game, basically not assisting, only participating in the scramble in the midfield, while the relatively unfamiliar Ribeiro suddenly burst out with powerful energy.

Juventus's Brazilian defender Melo saw that the defense on the right side was tight, and Marchisio also received a yellow card, so he took the initiative to switch places with Marchisio, his physical fitness is very good, his defensive skills are excellent, and his speed is faster than Marchisio, so Juventus's right side defense quickly stabilized.

Ferrara got up from the dugout the moment Marchisio received a yellow card, and he wanted to make adjustments to the position of the players on the field, but he didn't expect Melo to make adjustments himself, which coincided with his thoughts, so he sat down again. However, Marchisio's yellow card still made him feel a little uncomfortable, Marchisio is a midfielder he relies on very much, in this game his defensive task is very heavy, now that he has received a yellow card so early, he is bound to be a little shy in the following games. In fact, from the beginning of this game to the present, Ferrara's heart is not very comfortable, Xiao Yang's temporary change of formation has made his arrangements fall through one by one, and now he is at a comprehensive disadvantage in the midfield, which makes him feel a little shadow. However, he believes in the quality of his players and he believes that by the end of the game, Juventus will be the winner. Although playing a little trick can make a profit for a while, but in the end, it still depends on the strength, he thought.

Xiao Yang is now very determined, he is as steady as Mount Tai in the coach's seat, the process of the game is similar to what he expected, now the Gosau team has occupied some advantages, Juventus, the big fish, is slowly bleeding by Gosau, what he has to do now is to slowly expand the advantage, so that Juventus's blood is enough to be fatal. In fact, with pure strength, the current Gosho team will not be worse than Juventus, Juventus's players, in addition to Buffon and Chiellini, there is no one who can be called a world-class star, most of their main squad has a ability value between 160 and 170, and there is no obvious advantage compared with the Gosau team, they are outstanding in Serie A, reaching the Champions League final, not by the performance of a single person, but by their whole and their defense.

Although Juventus's overall and defense is good, their lineup is not flawless, their two fullbacks De Chelle and Grigra are slightly weaker, De Chelle is a strong offensive and weak fullback, often assists and can't come back, originally in today's football This type of fullback is the mainstream, but in a team like Juventus that attaches importance to overall defense, his characteristics are considered a weakness; Grigla, on the other hand, is over 33 years old and his physical condition has dropped dramatically this season, and although his experience is still there, he is simply unable to cope with the intense competition. In addition, Juventus did not have a suitable substitute for the full-back position, and if a full-back had an accident and could not play, Ferrara would have to let Marchisio duck on the shelf, make a cameo as a full-back, or use Chiellini to play full-back.

After Melo moved to the right and strengthened Juventus' defense on the right flank, Gosau's Branislav Ivanovic suddenly moved his position forward, he is a very dynamic and fast midfielder, and his forward movement immediately made Marchisio feel a lot of pressure again. Ivanovic can play all positions in the middle of the midfield, and now he will not be uncomfortable in the forward position, his movement is very flexible, the ability to get rid of the ball is also very strong, and the passing ability can throw Giovinco off the street, which makes Marchisio with a yellow card very uncomfortable. Due to the fear of taking cards again, Marchisio's defense inevitably shrank a little, and at once let Ivanovic pass a few dangerous passes.

Ferrara frowned, it seems that Xiao Yang, the head coach of the Gosho team, knows Juventus very well, every adjustment he makes has hit Juventus's weaknesses, and the Gosau team's formation is too flexible, this little-known Ivanovic can play the front midfield when attacking, and can play the back when defending, and they all play decently, why haven't I heard of such a comprehensive player before?

Most of the videos that Ferrara watched of the Gosho team were in the Champions League, in the Champions League, the main striker of the Gosau team was Lima, and Ivanovic did not play much, so Ferrara did not focus on him, and he didn't expect him to perform so well now.

Ferrara stood up and asked the left midfielder Turan to move a little down the middle to help Marchisio. Turan immediately followed his instructions and approached the middle, but as soon as Ivanovic's performance was stifled by them, Gosau's right winger Avnzini immediately began to come alive again, and his several successive breakthroughs made Juventus' left-back De Celle start to scramble again.

Marchisio is depressed, he is Juventus's midfielder, both offensive and defensive in this season's Serie A, majestic, I didn't expect to be restrained everywhere in this game, and he has become a burden to the team, when did he suffer from this kind of anger? But now that you're carrying a yellow card, it's better to keep a low profile and get through this difficult period.

Ferrara's face is very solemn, and now Juventus' midfield is obviously restrained, completely passive, and is simply being led by the nose by the Gossau team. Looking at Giovinco who was at a loss in the front court, he sighed, Giovinco did not play the role he expected at all, and it seemed to disappear on the field, but now the game has only started for more than 20 minutes, and it is impossible to replace him now, fortunately, Juventus's two central defenders and goalkeeper Buffon have played remarkably, and it is unlikely that the Gosau team wants to score for the time being, so Ferrara has not made personnel adjustments for the time being, anyway, the Italian team does not care about the ugly scene.

In the 25th minute, Avencini got Antunovic's backfield transfer ball and rushed forward on the right side, De Chelje stepped forward to defend Avencini, Avandzini made a few feints and easily shook off De Chelje, and suddenly cut in, at this time Turan's position was closer to the middle, Juventus's ribs were a blank area, if Avantzini broke through, it would be very dangerous, De Chelle knocked Avandzini down from behind in a hurry, and his action also made the referee show him a yellow card.

In the 28th minute, Avandzini broke through with the ball on the right side again, this time Turan was prepared, he met Avanzini, but Avandzini did not wait for him to get close, so he crossed and handed the ball to Ivanovic who was inserted in the middle, Ivanovic took the ball and made a momentum to break through from the right side of Marchisio, but when Marchisio's center of gravity moved, Ivanovic knocked the ball with his left foot, knocked the ball from behind to his right side, and then went with his right foot and burst through Marchisio's left side. Ivanovic's movement frequency is not very fast, several movements are not done slowly, but his feints are very realistic, and his movements are very coherent, so Marchisio was also deceived by him to move his center of gravity early, and after realizing that he was being played, his left hand subconsciously grabbed Ivanovic's jersey and pulled him to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle, and then ran to the place of the accident, Marchisio's heart suddenly tightened, he quickly explained to the referee that he did not deliberately foul, and hoped that the referee would be merciful and not give himself a yellow card, and Melo and Turan, who were closer to the place of the accident, also came up to plead with the referee. Perhaps due to the balance and excitement of the game, referee Weiner did not show Marchisio a yellow card, but only verbally warned Marchisio to pay attention to his defensive movements, and then awarded Gossau a free-kick about 35 yards from goal.

Xiao Yang jumped up excitedly when the referee blew the whistle, this foul has a great chance of getting a yellow card, if the referee really sent off Marchisio, then the advantage of the Gossau team is great; Ferrara stared nervously at the pitch, praying to God not to send Marchisio off. When the referee made the decision, Xiao Yang sat back in the coach's seat with some disappointment, and Ferrara breathed a sigh of relief.

Ribeiro stepped forward to take the free-kick, and when the referee blew the whistle to signal that he was ready to take the penalty, he took a deep breath and then ran and shot, but this time his shot was blocked by Juventus' human wall. He continued to take corners and did not pose much of a threat, as the ball was picked up in the air by the onrushing Buffon.

Buffon picked up the ball and threw the ball directly to launch a counterattack, because several big men in Gosau's backfield, including Antunovic, went to the box to fight for a header, so Giovinco was temporarily freed, he received a long pass from right-back Griguera, dribbled the ball to the top of the penalty area and fired a long shot, which was very quality, straight to the top left corner of the goal, but was lifted off the crossbar by the very focused Reiter. It was only Juventus' first shot from the woodwork of the first half.

Reiter also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart in this game, he is a goalkeeper with mediocre physical conditions, and his personality is taciturn, he rarely communicates with the coach, and he doesn't know how to communicate with the coach, he only knows how to practice hard, so his progress has not been fast, and he doesn't know how to command his teammates on the back line to cooperate with him, so his performance has been very average in high-level games, and he has almost conceded goals every game.

In the second half of the season, he obviously felt that Coach Xiao Yang had lost trust in him, and now Checarelli started in Switzerland's domestic games, although Xiao Yang said that it was a normal rotation, and the position of the front goalkeeper was basically not rotated. He didn't blame Xiao Yang, after all, he had given himself a lot of opportunities, and he couldn't blame others for his slow progress. He is also a person with no ambitions, looking at the speed of Checarelli's progress, you can know that the team's main goalkeeper next season will definitely be him, so be a relieving substitute, after all, he didn't even think about playing in the Champions League final when he was in the challenge group league, and he was content. However, he must play to his full strength in this Champions League final, because this may be his first and last start in the Champions League final, so his attention in this game has never been more concentrated.

Giovinco felt good after shooting the ball, he thought it should have it, but when he looked expectantly in the direction of the ball, he saw the opposing goalkeeper Reiter make a wonderful save and lift his shot over the crossbar with one palm, and he couldn't help but hold his head in his hands and jump a few times on the grass in frustration.

Ferrara was also disappointed, and when Giovinco burst forward with the ball, he excitedly stood up from the dugout, which should have been Juventus' best chance in the first half, but unfortunately it was squandered by Giovinco.

Xiao Yang was scared into a cold sweat, he hurriedly signaled Antunovic to stand in his defensive position, and easily did not step forward to assist, Antunovic nodded to indicate that he knew, and he was relieved.

Juventus's corner kick was sent out and caused a wave of chaos in the Gosau team's penalty area, Paulucci nodded the ball in front of the ball, and Amaury at the back point of the header relay hit the goal, the ball is not very powerful, but Reiter is surrounded by people, he did not dare to receive the ball, but with both fists to hit the ball out of the penalty area, Juventus's Brazilian defender Melo greeted the ball is a furious shot, this kick is very powerful, but some positive, Reiter saw the incoming ball, a side pounce, firmly pressed the ball under him.

Reiter's performance made Xiao Yang nod, it seems that Reiter is in good shape today, but just now the Gosho team let Paulucci and Amaury grab the header in the penalty area in a row to make him a little dissatisfied, what are the few big men in the Gosho team in the penalty area doing? He stood up, walked to the sideline and yelled at the Gosau backline.

Juventus' attack came to an end after Reiter saved Melo's shot, and the Juventus players retreated into their own half in waves, and the two sides began to enter a stalemate again.

Now in the midfield, the Gosho team still has a slight upper hand, Ivanovic and Avandzini often have outstanding performances, but due to Ferrara's adjustment, Juventus's defensive formation is now relatively backward, so their midfield and backfield are more closely linked, leaving not much offensive space for the Gosho team, so Juventus's defense can also support it, and Gosau's really threatening attack is not much.

The game scene began to be dull again, but the fans on both sides in the stands still tirelessly applauded and sang songs to cheer for their teams, and in the eyes of fans with a sense of belonging, as long as their favorite team wins, no matter how dull the game scene is very interesting.

The dreary game continued until the 42nd minute of the first half, when Ribeiro erupted, just when everyone thought the first half was going to end like that. At that time, Ivanovic retreated into his own half, cutting off a pass from Turan to Giovinco, and then, he passed a long, seemingly casual pass.

'Branislav Ivanovic played a long pass, but he didn't look up at all when he passed the ball, his pass looked more like a clearance, there were no Gosau players in the direction of his pass, and Juventus right-back Grigla was ready to step forward to receive the ball. No, a figure wearing a Gosau jersey suddenly appeared in the TV screen, he rushed to the ball on the ground, it was Ribeiro, his speed was too fast, he couldn't see his shadow in the TV screen just now, but now, he was only ten meters away from the landing point of the football. Grigra was taken aback, he picked up the pace and now he was closer to the ball than Ribeiro and he should be able to get the ball first. The ball hit the ground, it was a slalom ball, it jumped in the direction of Ribeiro, now the distance between Ribeiro and the ball is as close as Griguera, Ribeiro is very fast, he reaches the ball first, he takes the ball forward, it starts to accelerate, Griguera wants to pull Ribeiro, but Ribeiro bypasses him, he shakes Griguera like the wind. Melo desperately chased Ribeiro, Ribeiro looked up at the situation in the penalty area, directly crossed with his feet, Eggman jumped high in front of the point, headed the goal, and the ball went in!!!!!!!!! Gosau rewrote the score to 1:0. Duan Xuan was very excited, and the long and dreary scene in the first half made it difficult for him to have a chance to vent his passion.

'The goal was first and foremost thanks to Branislav Ivanovic's brilliant long ball and we were all surprised that he didn't look up, so how did we know that Ribeiro would cut in at that time? And he also made a well-placed spin ball that Ribeiro received just in time. Wait, what's going on on the field? The referee signalled that the goal was nullified and the players of the Gosau team were all talking about something around him, and they looked excited. Looking at the slow-motion replay, there was nothing wrong with the goal, Egerman was not offside, he cut in from behind and hit the goal. Oh, the referee thought that Egerman pushed Chiellini before taking off, but from the slow motion, Chiellini landed unsteadily on the ground after a physical confrontation with Egerman, and Egerman did not push people, which is a bit far-fetched. ”

Xiao Yang jumped up from the coach's seat suddenly, he couldn't understand this decision, he rushed to the sidelines, and the game supervisor hurriedly came over to stop him: "Mr. Lin, please don't get excited. ”

Xiao Yang pointed to the replay on the big screen and said, "Can I not be excited? We had a good goal hacked without any problems, and it's a Champions League final, you know what that means? That means a season of hard work by my players could be in vain! ”

The game supervisor was a little embarrassed, and he said to Xiao Yang: "Maybe your player did commit a foul?" After all, the referee sees better than we do. I hope you respect the referee's job. ”

Xiao Yang looked at him coldly, and after looking at him for a while, he said: "Okay, I hope I am wrong, and I hope that Mr. Referee is just wrong." With that, he sat back in the dugout. In fact, after the match supervisor stopped him, he calmed down, and now it is useless to make a big fuss, and the referee's decision is irreversible. And because Ribeiro's speed is too fast, the referee is far away from the place of the accident when Egerman attacks the goal, and he can't judge whether Egerman has fouled, because Chiellini fell, he thinks that Egerman fouls are more normal from experience, and he seems to have asked Chiellini if Egerman fouled between making the decision, Chiellini expressed his affirmation, combined with the referee giving Juventus two yellow cards in front, so this penalty is more likely to be just a misjudgment, not a deliberate black Gossau team.

Xiao Yang believes that as long as the referee does not deliberately target the Gosho team, the Gosho team has a good chance of winning this game. It is believed that after the referee watched the replay at half-time, the second half will be more or less biased in favor of Gosau, and he will have some prejudices about Chiellini who deceived him, which will become Gosau's advantage.

Gossau's players surrounded referee Weiner for a long time, but Weiner insisted on his decision, and eventually, Gossau's captain Avandzini pulled away his teammates because he was afraid that some of his teammates would get yellow cards if they were too excited. As the game continued, Juventus took a free-kick at the back, 45 minutes into the game, and just after Juventus had taken the free-kick, Weiner hurriedly blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

At this time, the fan forum in Huaxia suddenly opened the pot, this misjudgment was put on the line, saying that the referee deliberately blackened the Gosho team, and some fans also associated it with UEFA President Platini who was once a player of the Juventus team, and talked about conspiracy theories, thinking that the winner of the Champions League final has been decided, Juventus will definitely win the championship, and the Gosho team should wash and sleep. Although some people disagree with this statement, the conspiracy theory prevails, because the miscalculation is indeed suspicious, and Platini did play for Juventus, where he made his name and rightfully has a deep affection for Juventus. And since Platini took office, the suspicion of his manipulation of referees has never stopped, Messi has been called his godson, and Barcelona has indeed profited a lot from misjudgments.

At halftime, in the locker room of the Gosho team, Xiao Yang looked at the indignant players, after watching for a while, he laughed, the players were confused, they asked Xiao Yang, isn't he angry?

Xiao Yang said: "Of course I'm angry, but is anger useful? Of course, anger is useful, it can be transformed into a kind of strength, but it would be terrible if the angry person could remain calm in a normal state of mind. Like the way you are now, I can guarantee that you will lose in the second half; Of course, if you can calm down, I still think you can win. ”

The players listened to Xiao Yang's words and slowly calmed down, Xiao Yang continued: "That's right, let's use a calm mind in the second half, with the power generated by anger, to go out and defeat them." Let the whole world know that even miscalculation, even injustice, will not defeat you! ”
