Chapter 141: Udinese's Second Half (Part I)
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Udinese, who were two goals behind, did not calm down after the break. They were aggressive in their desire to equalise or overtake the scoreline, and it was clear that they knew that if they wanted to win or take away a point, they had to break down the Juventus defence.
The central midfielder, who had just replaced Badu, was playing in front of Allan to create opportunities for Muriel and Ranej.
Five minutes later, Udinese found their chance, and Alain and Pingqi cut off Li Zihan's ball. Alain then played a wall kick with Ping to get past Marchisio, and Alain sent a through ball before Vidal could get up.
The ball rolled between Vidal and Asamoah, Vidal subconsciously raised his foot, but still did not touch the ball, Asamoah ran back to the point where the ball landed.
However, it was clear that someone was faster than him, and Faraoni received Alain's through thrust with a tacit move, and it was not the first time they had cooperated in this way.
Faraoni caught up with the ball and then took advantage of the situation, then accelerated to catch the ball. Didn't give Asamoah, the African guy chasing behind him, a chance, although Asamoa could run by Faraoni, but Faraoni was already about seven or eight yards ahead, and the black boy could only look back and sigh.
Without Asamoah's entanglement, Faraoni was even more comfortable with the ball, and he even dribbled on the flanks and looked up to observe the situation in the middle.
Muriel was the first to take it easy, and he quickly stepped forward to get rid of Pirlo's entanglement. In fact, although Pirlo is in a midfielder's position, his defensive ability is quite average. Pogba, who is also a midfielder, is much better than Pirlo defensively, and even Vidal in midfield is much better than Pirlo in marking and tackles. Andrea Pirlo is a typical playmaker who is more adept at organising at the back, linking the back and midfield of the entire team.
If Pirlo gets forward, then he can put the back, the midfield, and the front court into a line. The truth is that Andrea Pirlo started out as a midfielder, but at AC Milan he faced Rui, a top attacking midfielder at the time. Costa, Rivaldo, Seedorf and others competed for positions, Zuihou under the arrangement of coach Ancelotti, Pirlo began to slowly become familiar with playing the back midfield, and later combined with Gattuso to become the first back partner of Shijie, and since then he has embarked on the road of a generation of Jishu-type organization back masters.
Juventus have many rivals in Serie A, and their players are inevitably abused by their rival fans on the road. But there are only two exceptions, one is Gianluigi Buffon, and the other is Andrea Pirlo. This stems from the Italians' dedication to the national team of these two veterans, and Pirlo was dubbed "The King" by Italian fans at his peak.
So although Pirlo's defensive ability in the back is also improving, he is still a lot worse when it comes to real defensive midfield, after all, he is not too old. Pirlo, who was not very good at physical confrontation, his current body did not allow him to make fierce fights. Therefore, in the midfield, a lot of defense comes from Vidal's support or Pogba, and the two of them are like two "-stirring sticks", making it difficult for opponents to attack comfortably when defending. And when the two of them stepped forward to attack, the opponent had a headache for their offensive ability, especially a heavy shot from outside the penalty area.
So for Muriel, he didn't bother much to shake off Pirlo's defense and run forward. His action certainly caught the attention of central defender Barzagli, who took the initiative to defend Muriel and prevent the opponent from receiving the ball easily.
Barzagli is definitely thinking of a good and experienced centre-back in Italy, and the difference between an apprentice and a master is more of a difference than Pirlo's defence. So Muriel tried to swing away from Barzagli several times and then raise his hand for the ball, but he couldn't do it. On the contrary, Barzagli, who was watching him firmly, made him feel that he could not move an inch.
Faraoni didn't let the two sides in the middle wait much longer as Asamoah and Vidal were already chasing after them. Didn't think much of it, dribbled down quickly and then sent a high cross quickly.
The ball flew straight into the Juventus penalty area and Mugliel was already in position, holding Barzagli down behind him. Then looking at the ball flying in the air, he jumped decisively and wanted to fight for the header. Barzagli jumped up and down, harassing the other party.
Just when the ball was about to fall on Muriel's head and form a header, everyone's hearts suddenly became nervous.
Gianluigi Buffon could see that Barzagli had not been able to gain the upper hand in the header, so he paid attention to Muriel's movements and leaned towards the post to block the angle.
Falaoni's low cross found striker Muriel in the penalty area. Muriel !! ”
However, just as Muriel's head was about to hit the ball, he had the wit to deflect his head and dodge it himself.
Barzagli didn't expect it, Buffon didn't think about it, and Bonucci didn't expect it.
"Muriel dodged, he slipped the ball through!! Look at this ball, there is no attack this time. ”
The ball began to fall without Muriel's hindrance. Ranej burst into the box without giving Bonucci, who defended him, time to think. Then face the falling ball and volley.
Bang! There was a sound, and it was the sound of Ranej's foot hitting the ball. The ball flew straight into the goal, Buffon didn't have time to react, and even the camera captured the stunned expression on Buffon's face when the ball flew in the other direction.
The hearts of the fans of Udinese and Juventus were tugging, and it was clear that they all knew what would happen if the goal was scored. With 40 minutes to go, Udinese, who are only one goal behind, will be on the offensive even more aggressively. Juventus' transition from a two-goal lead to being held down by a team with the lowest wages and budget in Italy was a fatal blow to morale.
"Ranegje !!!!"
Bang! Again, it was the sound of the ball hitting the crossbar.
"Oh," more than 30,000 and nearly 40,000 fans exclaimed.
Buffon made a sharp and sideways pounce to save the ball that had bounced off the bottom of the crossbar into the box and then pressed it firmly underneath.
'Well, Ranej hit the crossbar and then Buffon saved it easily. Udinese wasted the most goal of the game so far, and if it had been Di Natale, it would have gone in. ”
And now the Udinese fans who have followed the team to the away stadium miss the veteran Di Natale who was left behind in Udinese's hometown due to lack of physical strength and cannot play.
However, the Italians have apparently not heard the well-known saying of Chinese fans: "Wasted opportunities will be punished." ”
Buffon observed the situation in the front field when he got up to hold the ball, and when he saw that there was no defender around Li Zihan near the middle line, he was stunned, and then he saw that from Li Zihan to the Udinese penalty area, there was only Danilo, the central defender at the top of the middle line not far away.
The rest of the Udinese squad is still retreating from the front court at a rapid pace, and it seems that they have not yet recovered from the defeat of the attack just now.
Buffon immediately thought it was a great opportunity to fight back.
Buffon quickly slid the ball in his hand, then raised his right foot to slam it into the falling ball.
The ball flew into the air and Danilo was the first to react. Because he saw the ball fly through the "crowd" below and fly directly to the empty area on the middle line, and then saw Li Zihan in front of him.
He understood in an instant that this was a typical quick counterattack. He raised his hand and shouted to get the attention of his teammates, and Domizi and Alan saw the ball flying above their heads, and then saw the gesture of his teammate Danilo in front of him. I also understood, and immediately accelerated to catch up. At this time, Alan didn't have time to blame Domitzy and the two full-backs for cutting forward so deeply that they gave the enemy a chance to sneak attack.
Li Zihan saw the flying ball and understood what Buffon meant, in fact, he had already noticed that there was only one central defender in the opponent's backfield.
Danilo hesitated between cutting forward to interfere, hindering Li Zihan from receiving the ball or even breaking the ball, and retreating in front of the penalty area to cooperate with the goalkeeper. After watching the ball fall, Li Zihan began to run and chase the falling ball, and he chose the former.
Li Zihan looked up to chase the falling ball, but he did not forget to observe the movements of the only defender in front of him. When he saw the other party coming forward to fight with him for the high-altitude ball, he had an idea.
Buffon took Udinese off guard with a quick goal-kick. Their defenders have been too aggressive and deep in their assists, and now there is only one centre-back Danilo at the back. And the ball went directly to Li Zihan, the young player who had not retreated in front, although Alan and Dominic quickly retreated to pursue Li Zihan, but looking at the distance and Li Zihan's speed, they were basically hopeless. ”
"This is a great counter-attack for Juventus!!"
Seeing that the height was almost over, Li Zihan kicked hard with his right foot and jumped. Then he slammed his head against the ball in the air. The forehead hit the ball, and the ball accelerated towards the front without continuing to fall.
Danilo, who was running quickly, brushed shoulders with the ball in the air, and then Li Zihan quickly bypassed Danilo after landing and quickly chased after him.
In terms of explosion and speed, Danilo can be completely blown up by Li Zihan. So Li Zihan easily bypassed Danilo and received the ball behind him, without giving the opponent a chance to get close or foul.
