Chapter 239: The Confrontation with Buffon
There is no suspense in the game?
Perhaps......
But the Roma players certainly disagreed, especially since the game had just started in the first half, and no matter how passive they were, they did not fall behind, and soon thirty minutes had passed.
For thirty minutes, neither team scored.
Juventus had more chances, having had seven shots, four of which were on the woodwork and two threatening. Roma had only one shot on goal, from midfielder Oliveira, and it was a long-range effort that didn't threaten anything.
Zhang Tiehan has not been able to get a good opportunity until now.
He has been in the front, pinning down Juventus' defense, not giving them the opportunity to press too forward, and at the same time looking for opportunities, but the passivity of the Roma situation makes him not have many chances to get the ball, plus Thuram and Zebina's defense is very entangled, it is not easy for Zhang Tiehan to have a table.
But Zhang Tiehan will not wait for Juventus to win.
If the game goes on like this, there will really be no suspense as the Turin commentator said, but now there is still the ability to change, Zhang Tiehan has been looking for opportunities in the front court, he believes that opportunities are always left to those who are prepared, if they give up, the game is really no suspense.
Juventus did not let up on Zhang Tiehan's defense.
They didn't dare to relax either.
From the beginning of the game, Zhang Tiehan frequently appeared in dangerous positions, sometimes retreating to get the ball, but when the football was at the feet of Zhang Tiehan, Juventus had to devote most of their energy to defense, they were quite cautious about Zhang Tiehan's defense, even so, Zhang Tiehan's continuous impact still created a lot of trouble for Juventus.
It's the same this time.
When Juventus pressed hard again and was suddenly cut off in front, Zhang Tiehan hurriedly waved to his teammates for the ball.
The football was soon at the feet of Darkett.
Dacourt had a good time, having played six seasons for Strasbourg in Ligue 1. In 1998, he moved to Everton in the Premier League for 4 million euros, and a year later returned to Ligue 1 Anse for 8 million euros.
Darkett moved to the Premier League before returning to France to join Lens.
In 2000, Premier League upstart Leeds United manager O'Leary bought Dacourt from Ligue 1 side Lens for £7.2 million to play for Leeds United. Duckett has been in excellent form and has played alongside the likes of Viduka to reach the last four of the Champions League. At the beginning of 2003, Leeds United's debt was as high as £78.9 million, and in order to ease the financial pressure on the club, the team loaned Dacourt to Roma in Italy during the winter transfer of '03.
Darkett's attacking and organisational qualities in midfield have been recognised by manager Fabio Capello, who has made 21 appearances for Roma in half a season. Of those, 17 appearances have been made in the league and four in the Coppa Italia.
At the end of the season, Leeds United had to put the outstanding Dacourt up for sale due to financial pressure, while Roma took the opportunity to recruit the Frenchman for £4.2 million.
However, after Dacourt's transfer to Roma, his form is no longer as brave as it used to be, and he can only be used as a supplement to the main squad, but Dacourt's experience is still a valuable asset. Although he has not made many appearances this season, it has been very useful for guiding a group of young people in Roma.
Such a veteran was sent by Drinel in the big game against Juventus.
Duckett is well aware of his position. His form is no longer good, the reason for his appearance is probably that he can be better than the young man in Rome, he did not continue to play after getting the ball, but glanced at his teammates around him, when he saw Zhang Tiehan raise his hand, Duckett also saw the front court Juventus tight blockade of Zhang Tiehan.
Dacourt's experience can be said to be quite rich. And the mind is very delicate.
Zhang Tiehan must pass the ball over, but if he passes it directly, it still won't have any effect, so his choice is to kick the ball to De Rossi, and then raise his hand before inserting. De Rossi quickly came back with another kick, by which time Duckett was already near the centre circle, and when he got the ball again, there were no Juventus players around, and he could safely carry forward.
Kort made the first pass.
He poked the ball hard in front of the left, and the ball rolled past Vieira and appeared in front of Zhang Tiehan, who was busy running two steps forward and catching up with the ball, and praised Darkett in his heart.
This pass is wonderful!
……
"Olivier Darkett!"
"Nice pass! The ball wasn't exciting, it was a penetrating through-stop, and the pass itself wasn't technically difficult, but it was sudden, and Dacourt's pass was so sudden that Vieira and Thuram didn't react at all, and Zhang received the ball with ease in front......"
The commentator commented on the pass.
This is also the same as Zhang Tiehan's feeling, he just raised his hand to ask for the ball, he wanted Darcourt to pass it over as soon as possible, Darcourt handed the ball to De Rossi, he could only run forward slowly, but he didn't expect Duckett to pass the ball over as soon as possible after cooperating with De Rossi.
With Duckett's position just now, there are no Juventus players in front of him, so he can calmly take a few quick steps, and then choose to pass the ball, and even if the Juventus players don't come to defend, he can take the ball directly to the front of the penalty area.
But Duckett didn't have that choice, he still passed the ball.
This sudden pass gave Zhang Tiehan a golden opportunity, Thuram was left directly behind, Vieira could no longer keep up, and Zebina was the only one who could interfere with Zhang Tiehan.
The Rome Olympics immediately boiled!
……
"At this moment, Zhang is not fighting alone!"
This classic sentence came out of the mouth of the commentator of the Olympic Stadium in Rome, and he and the Roma fans in the stands looked excited, and at the same time he stood with Zhang Tiehan shouting, "Kill him, Zhang!" ”
"Kill him!"
"Kill the traitor!"
As the commentator said, Zhang Tiehan really wasn't fighting alone, and there were thousands of Roma fans behind him who were verbally interfering with Zebina.
If it were a Juventus player, Roma fans would never do this, but this man is Zerbina, one of the players that Roma fans hate.
At the beginning, Capello left Rome with Zebina and Emerson. But the two are completely different, Emerson cannot be said to have defected to Roma, he is just a player who was sold to Juventus due to the club's financial problems, while Zebina is different, Zebina followed Capello to Juventus on a free transfer.
This period last year. Zebina broke a lot of news, and there were all kinds of '**' news about Zebina and Juventus at that time.
And Zebina's contract renewal with Roma has not been smooth, because his asking price is really big open, and even opens his mouth to compare wages with Totti...... This is absolutely unacceptable to the AS Roma club, this guy is a pure traitor, and as soon as the season ended, he immediately switched to Juventus, ahead of Capello.
He is not a traitor, who is a traitor?
Even after going to Juventus, he still had a face of 'Roma owes me'. And openly declared in the media that it was not good in Rome, and Juventus was a good team.
In short, Roma fans hate this guy so much.
When they saw Zhang Tiehan rushing to the goal with the ball, intercepting only Zebina, the Roma fans broke out, and they shouted all kinds of insults in their mouths, at that moment, Zebina's mother, sisters, grandmothers, and the above eighteen generations of female relatives were all greeted, and some noisy insults could be heard in the stadium.
Zebina was on the top in an instant!
Zebina is still very brave. When greeted by thousands of people, he did not flinch. Instead, he rushed towards Zhang Tiehan with red eyes, as if Zhang Tiehan had a grudge against him to kill his father, obviously he regarded defending Zhang Tiehan as a way to counterattack fans.
Maybe it's the right thing to do.
Kozerbina's choice was bizarre, he didn't defend cautiously, but chose to rush at Zhang Tiehan and crash straight into him.
Zhang Tiehan didn't notice Zebina's demeanor, and he didn't care about the sudden noise of the stadium. He still thought that he had a good chance to get the ball, and the Roma fans were cheering, who knew that most of the reasons were guys who came to defend themselves.
When Zebina rushed over, Zhang Tiehan was ready to turn around to protect the ball.
He had just made a move, and Zebina had already bumped into him. That is to knock Zhang Tiehan away, Zebina obviously wants to show off his strength, and even if it is a foul, this position is not in the penalty area, there is not much threat at all, from the perspective of the football game, his choice is very good.
It's just that he chose the wrong object of 'Liwei'.
When Zhang Tiehan realized what Zebina was going to do, his movements did not change at all, but the muscles of his whole body, especially the muscles in his shoulders, bulged.
Then the two bumped into each other.
The impact was very direct and powerful...... Then Zebina fell to the ground without hesitation, and Zhang Tiehan calmly left with the ball.
Everyone in the audience noticed the collision.
Especially the referee, the referee of this game is Yezzaro, Yezaro has enforced many big games, and the law enforcement is also very strict, seeing Zebina's actions, he put the whistle in his mouth, but when he saw Zebina fall, and Zhang Tiehan continued to carry the ball forward, he was still stunned.
And then...... He ran past Zebina's side and nothing happened.
Zebina lay on the grass and raised his hand, as if he wanted to sue the referee Zhang Tiehan for a foul, but unfortunately no one cared about him at this time.
Zhang Tiehan is single-handed!
……
Standing in front of the Juventus goal was Gianluigi Buffon.
Gianluigi Buffon is now only 26 years old, but he has been regarded as 'one of the best goalkeepers in Europe and the world in the last fifteen years', and he is the best goalkeeper in Italy since Zoff.
As early as 2001, when Buffon transferred from Parma to Juventus, he was worth as much as 51.4 million euros, which is the highest value of a goalkeeper transfer in history, and it is still the highest value of a goalkeeper.
It is not easy to become a star in the goalkeeper position, and Buffon is a special one.
He has many advantages, such as excellent technique, rarely let go of his hands when making saves, extremely quick reactions, long-term stability, and good command and defense...... Wait, in short, there are a lot of advantages, to say that the advantages can not be exhausted, a goalkeeper worth more than 50 million euros has proved a qiē, one of the advantages is related to the current game, Buffon is experienced in defending one-shot balls, extremely quick reactions, he has saved a lot of single-knife goals that are called must-score.
Now Buffon is facing Zhang Tiehan.
He watched cautiously, and when Zhang Tiehan was about to cross the penalty line, Buffon immediately rushed out of the goal.
……
When Zhang Tiehan met Buffon, many people would send all kinds of heads to set off the confrontation between the two.
To borrow the last game between Roma and Manchester United, some media used to cover the game, this is the clash of 'the strongest spear and the strongest shield', Zhang Tiehan is the top scorer in Serie A, Buffon is the best goalkeeper in Serie A, the two collide head-on, it will really be like Mars hitting the earth.
Maybe......
But the real situation is that the two only met for a second.
Zhang Tiehan dribbled forward, Buffon rushed out to defend, then Zhang Tiehan shot, Buffon flew to save, only for a moment, only for a moment, and the winner was already revealed after a split second - the football flew in front of Buffon's fingers and plunged into the goal.
Zhang Tiehan won!
……
"Hula......"
The Olympic Stadium in Rome suddenly resounded with the cheers of the mountains and the tsunami. (To be continued......)
