Chapter 128: Backwardness and Red Cards

Compared to Bologna, Juventus can be described as star-studded. Pen "Fun" www.biquge.info their sluggish form and poor results last season were caused by many factors, and if only in terms of the number of stars, they are still the undisputed top 3 in Serie A. Even with an all-bench line-up, they are stronger on paper than Bologna.

They have made a comeback this season, buying out Simeone Pepe, Quagliarella and Matri, who performed well on loan last season, and signing Lichtsteiner, Pirlo, Vucinić and Elia stars with heavy money, not just for European qualification, their goal is to win the Serie A title.

In the previous games, they won two consecutive games, facing Bologna with two consecutive defeats at home, Conte adopted a more conservative tactics and sent a 4321 formation, goalkeeper Buffon, defenders Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini, Pirlo and Marchisio, Vidal partnered in the midfield, Vucinic and Simeone Pepe were on the left and right, and the old demon Lucatoni was a single striker.

Their bench is full of quality players. Krasic, who performed well last season, was basically abandoned by Conte, and Elia, the Dutch international who just transferred for 9 million this season, has not yet been given a chance to play, and Matri, an efficient striker who scored nine goals in 16 appearances last season, was pressed to the bench, Quagliarella, who scored nine goals in 17 appearances, also helplessly guarded the water cooler, and even the passing star Del Piero sat on the bench and watched the game seriously.

Juventus, who have Andrea Pirlo, are more dominant in terms of midfield control, but Bologna's midfielder Mudingayi makes up for it with aggressive running and ferocious defence.

Judging from the field, Juventus has a slight advantage, but Bologna, which has suffered two consecutive defeats, is not without the ability to fight back, especially Ramirez and Shi Hao on the wings are very active, frequently attacking Juventus' defense.

Opposite Shi Hao is Chiellini. The 26-year-old has made a name for himself early on, having been selected for the Italian national team 42 times, which can be described as a matter of experience.

In Shi Hao's few Serie A games, Chiellini is the most formidable foe he has ever faced.

In front of Chiellini, his body is not dominant, and the strong Chiellini will lose his balance with only a slight squeeze; The feints hardly worked, and the experienced Chiellini didn't mess around with his feet at all, just jammed the position accurately and used his body to squeeze Shi Hao out of the danger zone.

Ten minutes later, Shi Hao gave up the idea of heads-up. It's not a game, it's a professional game about money and honor, and he must first fulfill his tactical duties.

So he didn't find Chiellini anymore, but used his movement to get around the solid defender, using his speed advantage to pull out gaps and pass the ball without sticking to the ball.

In contrast, Ramirez on the left was a little worse. Lichtsteiner, who defended him against him, was extremely fast and defensive, which made the Uruguayan talent suffer.

Bologna's attacking center began to gradually tilt to the right, giving Shi Hao more opportunities to get the ball.

In the 31st minute, Shi Hao took the ball and shook off Vucinic, who was returning to the defense, and handed the ball to Diamanti. Diamanti dribbled a few of his own and after attracting the attention of the Juventus defenders, he deftly picked up the ball and played it to the right. The ball rolled over Chiellini's head and towards the baseline, and Shi Hao quickly plugged in and arrived before the ball went out of bounds.

He controlled the ball and observed, Chiellini was not going to stand stupidly waiting for him, and quickly stepped forward to press.

In the face of the menacing Chiellini, Shi Hao seemed to be frozen, and it was not until Chiellini rushed in front of him that he flicked the ball near the baseline, as if to shake off the angle of the cross.

However, as Chiellini shifted his centre of gravity, his right foot suddenly hooked the ball back.

The commentator at the scene exclaimed, "Oxtail! A beautiful feint, the Chinese kid passed Chiellini! ”

After shaking off Chiellini, Shi Hao burst into the penalty area and was surrounded by heavy troops. Instead of dribbling the ball away, he lifted it high and flew towards the back of goal.

Ramirez chested the ball to shoot, but stopped a little far, and by the time he was adjusted, Bonucci was already pressing. He had to get the ball back to Diamanti. Diamanti received the ball and fired a long-range shot straight into the corner, but Buffon struggled to save.

It was Bologna's most dangerous shot of the first half.

At half-time, neither side made any adjustments to the formation. Heading into the second half, Juventus stepped up their attack.

As soon as the old woman exerted her strength, Bologna was a little overwhelmed. Crespo, Antensen, Portanova, Moleo and the like looked quite struggling in front of Vucinic and Simone Pepe.

In the 52nd minute, Vucinic received the ball on the left flank, burst into the penalty area and fired a powerful shot, and the football hung into the corner to give Juventus the lead.

Bisoli was unwilling to accept another defeat, so he replaced the inactive Ramirez with Acquafresca, asked the wings to press up, and changed to a 433 formation.

After Shi Hao's position was advanced, he faced Chiellini more often. Juventus, on the other hand, recycled the formation, and Vucinic returned to defend many times, and it was difficult for Shi Hao to make a difference under the bag of Vucinic and Chiellini. And Marchisio also came over from time to time to make up for the defense, so that Shi Hao didn't dare to control the ball at all, and every time he got the ball, he could only play the ball quickly.

On the other side, Acqua Fresca also failed to show good form after coming on the pitch, and the game fell into the rhythm of Juventus for a while.

Shi Hao knew that he couldn't go on like this. But he didn't have a good idea of how to change the situation.

It was Diamanti who made the difference.

In the 64th minute, Diamanti ran to the left to pick up, and after a combination with Acquafresca, he took the ball to the middle.

Di Vaio was closely marked in the penalty area, Diamanti had to seek cooperation with Shi Hao, Shi Hao passed the ball back to Diamanti and sprinted into the penalty area, Diamanti made another accurate pick-and-roll pass.

If Shi Hao receives the ball, he can burst into the penalty area and hit the goal, at which time the Juventus goalkeeper made a big mistake, and he kicked Shi Hao's leg with an impatient tackle.

Shi Hao rolled a few laps with his legs, and the referee on duty did not hesitate to show Vucinic a red card.

Diamanti gave Shi Hao a thumbs up, and I don't know if he was praising Shi Hao's excellent acting skills or being satisfied with Shi Hao's clever picking up the football when Vucinic put it down.

Shi Hao didn't want to cheat the red card, he just instinctively controlled the ball. Although he felt a lot of pain in his leg, he knew in his heart that it should be a little hard and it would not affect it too much. As soon as the stretcher lifted him out of the field, he came down and drank some water, and Bisoli pulled him in and said a few more words.

Diamanti's free-kick went just wide of the back of the net, but Juventus had to play with 10 men for the remainder of the game, with Bologna still having a chance to equalise.
