Chapter 198: Merlot's Delusion (8/21)

Melo also took on more attacking responsibilities in this game.

The ball was passed more to his feet.

He now feels that he was right to move to Lazio and to Juventus from Lazio.

Going to Lazio has transformed him from a simple midfielder into a midfielder who can organise attacks - he thinks so.

And going to Juventus allowed him to really hit the core.

Although he started to attack at Lazio, the core of Lazio's midfield in his first season was Liverani, who was more like a dirty man. In the second season, Liverani was gone, and Modric was straightened to the core. Of course, Melo has also started to try to attack, but he is positioned as a supporter, specifically supporting Modric.

Only at Juventus did he become the true heart of the team's midfield.

Whether it's offensive or defensive, football has to go through him.

This feeling made him feel very comfortable.

Everybody wants to improve, but at Lazio he can't go any further, and obviously winning often wants him to put more experience into defence.

He's a Brazilian player, how can a Brazilian player not attack?

He is hungry to attack, he wants to be the commander of the team.

At Juventus, he started out as a defender, but as the season progressed, he began to take on more responsibility for organising attacks.

Merlot suddenly felt like she was going to get out.

In this match against his former club, Melo was particularly energetic.

He wants to prove that he can play the core of the organization in the face of Chang Sheng, not the supporter.

If he can lead Juventus to beat Lazio, it will be the best proof!

※※※

Chang Sheng looked at Melo, who frequently raised his hand to ask his teammates on the court, and really didn't know what to say.

Some people's fates can be changed, but it seems that the trajectory of some people's fates is deep-rooted.

When he sent Melo to Juventus, he wondered if he would repeat the same mistakes.

Even though the player is still this player, the team is still this team.

But after all, the time is different, and the manager who coaches Melo is different.

In his first season at Juventus, Melo was named the most disappointing player by the Italian media and won the "Golden Trash Award".

But to be fair, Melo's performances that season, while not outstanding, weren't too bad either.

He's made 29 appearances and scored four goals.

It's just that his performance is in stark contrast to his worth of 25 million euros.

It was felt that he was not playing to the heights that everyone had hoped for.

It's about the hiring of the manager.

Melo is a defender, to put it bluntly, a pure defender.

A qualified midfield sweeper.

If he was only allowed to defend, he would definitely be one of the best midfielders in football at the time.

But Juventus wanted him to play as a playmaker......

Now I'm blind.

Merlot is not this kind of road at all!

Let him play a football player, just like letting Li Kui play the undefeated East.

In this plane. Although Melo trained in full attack and defence for two years at Lazio, he still used him as a pure defender. Because I thought that Merlot was originally an excess, I didn't put much effort into him.

At most, let him be Modric's assistant.

As a result, I didn't expect Melo to have an attacking heart, and after running to Juventus, the position gradually preced, and he wanted to be the core of the organization......

This is really a mountain that does not turn around, and the two planes and planes finally turn together.

Chang Sheng can predict that if Melo continues to play this way, then his performance will plummet next season, and he will eventually ...... with him in that time and space Different means to the same end.

It's a pity, but it's the path he chooses, and he can't blame anyone else.

※※※

As soon as Melo got the ball, he was immediately surrounded by Ledesma and Inle.

Ledesma is a defensive stalwart who can give even teenage genius Pato a headache, and Inle is no weaker either.

The two of them sandwiched Melot, and Melo immediately felt a huge pressure.

As mentioned earlier, he was not a player who was good at ball control, he used to play as a midfielder, and then he was a transfer station, and his specific job was to receive and pass the ball.

Now it's up to him to catch the ball, control the ball, dribble the ball, and finally send the ball out.

That's a completely different requirement.

His skills at his feet are simply not enough to support the task of keeping the ball firmly at his feet in such a complex environment.

As soon as Ledesma interfered in front, Inler came up from the side and stabbed the ball away.

Then Inle and Ledesma immediately dispersed.

Inle catches up with the ball and Ryders pulls away from the distance, forming an angle.

As soon as Inle caught up with the football, he passed the ball to Ledesma.

Even if Melo counter-robs immediately after conceding the ball, he can't grab the football.

If he goes to play to Ledesma, Ledesma can pass the football to anyone, or just pass it to Inle next to him, and Melo will be in the air.

※※※

Melo conceded the ball in the middle of two Lazio players, and at first everyone thought it was an accident. Who can guarantee that they won't lose possession in a game?

but

It was only as the game progressed that everyone found out that Melo had conceded a lot of goals, and there were almost no successful shots.

And the Lazio players seemed to have been negotiated in advance, as soon as Melo got the ball, the two closest Lazio players next to him rushed out as soon as possible, interfering with him, making him either lose the ball or pass the ball in a hurry - in that case, the accuracy of the pass is not easy to say.

At this time, it suddenly dawned on me - it turned out to be premeditated, specifically targeting Melo at the core of Juventus' midfield!

Ranieri also found out.

But there is nothing he can do about it, as Melo has been at the heart of Juventus' midfield in the final stages of the league.

didn't expect Melo to be so easily contained by Lazio.

Even if he wanted to make a temporary adjustment, he didn't have the right person......

Juventus could have given up Melo, the problem is that there is no one who can take over the task of Melo and lead Juventus to victory......

Lazio knows Merlot very well, what does he know?

Melo is well aware of every habit of playing and has been targeted during the game.

They will always force Melo to play in a way that he is not used to.

For example, forcing him to control the ball with his left foot, which he is not used to, and then cutting off the ball with his left foot.

Another example is always forcing him to the point where he has to use his left foot to control the ball and pass the ball, and then the quality of the football he passes can be imagined.

In addition to targeting weak feet, Lazio also has a number of unique ways to deal with Melo. These are all things that can't be studied just by watching the game footage, but only by those who really know Melo, and at least train with him for a season......

Lazio has this condition.

※※※

Under the pressure of Lazio, Melo lost the ball many times, and Juventus's attack was not organized at all.

In the end, they can only play chaotic battles, Juventus's attack is not disciplined, and whoever goes to sleep will be sent forward. It doesn't matter if you bring it or pass it on.

Merlot, on the other hand, wanted to be left alone.

Lazio's blockade has not abated.

It seems that Chang Sheng does not miss the old feelings at all in the face of his subordinate veterans, and wants to kill them all.

But in fact, only Chang Sheng knew that he was doing this to help Merlot.

A good performance in one game will mean nothing to Melo's fate next season.

In that plane, Melo played fairly well in his first season, but the next season quickly began to decline......

The second season was big for Melo.

Chang Sheng wants to use this game to completely knock out Melo's heart of advocating being the core of the organization......

Tell him with cruel facts, don't be delusional, you can rest assured to be a blue-collar worker, and it's good to be the world's No. 1 blue-collar worker.

At the same time, he also told Ranieri not to use Melo as the core of the organization...... This Melo is still suitable for playing defensive midfielders and being a midfield sweeper!

Melo, who is comfortable as a defensive midfielder, has the potential to become the world's top midfielder and then stay with the Brazilian national team for a long time.

Instead of coming in a hurry and rushing away.

But man is not always satisfied.

This is the merit of human beings. It's a pity that it falls on a specific person, so it's hard to say.

People always have things that they can't reach, and for Melo, being the core of an organization is beyond his ability.

※※※

Juventus were restrained because of Melo, and the attack was disorganized.

On the other hand, Lazio can get a lot of opportunities to counter-attack on the spot.

Because they can break the ball directly from Melo's feet......

In the 33rd minute, Melo passed the ball to a Lazio player......

Yes, I wrote it right, and you read it right, Melo did pass the football to the Lazio players.

He was pressed by Bredersma, made a mistake in the hurry, and directly shifted the ball, but the football was changed to the feet of Modric.

Modric was on the inside and outside, making a gesture to shoot from distance.

The deceived Juventus defender turned his back to block, but Modric lightly buttoned the football, wiped it over, and then continued to rush forward with the ball!

His surprise attack disrupted Juventus' defense.

So Lazio's defenders rushed in droves.

At this time, Modric showed once in front of Melo, what is the real core of the organization!

In the face of this complicated situation, Modric remained calm, he did not rush the ball, but observed.

And then sent a through ball from the human slit!

The ball slipped through the gap between the two Juventus defenders.

Benzema plugged in at high speed from the back row, and once it was successfully countered offside, he received the ball!

"Benzema! He's in! ”

"God! How did Modric see him? ”

"A tacit cooperation!" Commentators from all over the country exclaimed.

In their exclamations, Benzema chose to volley in the face of Buffon!

The ball sped forward against the turf, and Buffon quickly pounced on it.

His hand did rub against the football!

But Benzema's kick is particularly fast and accurate, too fast, and powerful enough. Gianluigi Buffon was unable to change the course of football, although he rubbed his fingers on football.

In the end, the football stubbornly rolled into the Juventus goal!
