Chapter 147: The Blue Eagle with Firm Determination
So the Blue Eagles take the two legs of the Coppa Italia semi-finals very seriously, and their idea is simple. I'm afraid that if I don't qualify for the Europa League in the league table, then it's not bad to win the Coppa Italia and go to Europe.
You must know that for Lazio, whose financial situation is not very good, it is also a good way to go around the Europa League every season, although many teams look down on the Europa League, but Lazio is not qualified to pick and choose, and it is also a good income for them to play in the Europa League.
Recently, this year, seeing that almost all of the sworn enemies in the same city have European battles to burn, the fire of their jealousy is also burning. So this season has come to this, and they are really good for this Coppa Italia.
Although the semi-final opponent is Juventus, Lazio must not be worried. Because they know that Juventus are aiming to defend their league title this season and then make a breakthrough in the Champions League. With Juventus' bench depth, which is not wealthy, there is no way to split their forces to snatch the Coppa Italia.
So despite the away game, Lazio coach Petrokovic also sent out a full attacking lineup.
The goalkeeper is Marchetti, the defenders are Radu, Dias, Biava and Kounco, the midfield is Mauri, Ledesma and Hernanes, and the attacking line is Candreva, Lulic and the old German center Klose.
That's almost exactly Lazio's attacking lineup.
And they were not polite at all, they started to attack as soon as they came up, and seemed to want to tell Juventus with firm determination: The ticket to the Coppa Italia final this season is ours, and you should concentrate on playing in the league and the Champions League.
Klose doesn't look like a player in his thirties at all, he's very active on the pitch. constantly bombarded Juventus' backfield with his high-altitude bombers, but fortunately, Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli also had excellent defense and control capabilities, otherwise Juventus would be in danger.
In the seventh minute, Lulicliso's fire burned to the side, and the Italian veteran Decelli was completely unable to defend the opponent. Barzagli crossed to the touchline to help up the interception, but Lulic was given the chance. He decisively took the ball high before Barzagli was in place and hung it into the Juventus penalty area. Klose made a high header over the ball and in the face of Bonucci's harassment, he managed to head it towards the Juventus goal. Thankfully, Gianluigi Buffon once again showed his best at the level of his recovery, with a sideways pounce to clutch the ball in his arms.
Three minutes later, Lazio made a comeback. Klose's lively touchline up front caught Chiellini's attention, and he took the initiative to defend the experienced German. Lulic also gave up the touchline to make an inside cut, and Barzagli did not dare to be careless. At this time, Hernanes passed the ball to Candreva, who had been inconspicuous.
Candreva received the ball in the middle of the penalty area and he didn't need to find Klose. Instead, he raised his foot and shot angrily, and the ball whistled straight into the Juventus penalty area. Bonucci looked at the strength of the ball, and his heart was weak, if he was hit by this ball, he wouldn't be beaten and bleeding and have an internal injury? He subconsciously dodged it, but the ball flew to the small penalty area without hindrance.
Buffon was blocked by Bonucci, and when he saw Bonucci dodge sideways, he saw the ball whizzing over, and he was too late to make a move. Looking up, he saw the ball fly over his head and hit the crossbar.
The fans in the stadium were shocked into a cold sweat.
However, the crisis did not end there, and the ball did not fly out of the bottom line but into the small penalty area. Klose didn't know when he got there, he found the ball just in place and hit the ball with a header again. Gianluigi Buffon reacted, jumping high and easily picking off Klose's header. Although Klose's header was very threatening, the jump just now was not very comfortable, and there was not much threat in a hurry, so Buffon easily planted the ball.
Buffon didn't drive the ball out right away, because Li Zihan didn't start in this game and sat on the bench, so he didn't think he could play and counterattack quickly.
Buffon patted Klose on the shoulder and then yelled at his teammates in front of him to focus.
And the commentator is lamenting that this is completely a confrontation between two veterans, Buffon and Klose.
In the end, the two sides walked into the dressing room with a 0-0 half-time regret, where Petrokovic fully affirmed and praised the team's performance in the first half and encouraged them to continue to work hard in the second half. In the dressing room at Juventus, Conte scolded the whole team for a bloody head, saying that he was very dissatisfied with the team's frequent emergencies at the back, and even more dissatisfied that there were no two decent counterattacks in the first half for 45 minutes.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides again, and Lazio did not make any substitutions, but it was Juventus that Conte replaced Decelli with Lissteiner. It looked as if Conte was acting to show his displeasure with Lulic's frequent breaches of Decheli's defensive zone in the first half, when in fact it was Conte's horn to attack.
Sure enough, Lissteiner, who has both offense and defense, brought Juventus' wings alive as soon as he came on the field. On a couple of occasions, he and Isla attacked from the touchline, and the opposition touchline was often stillborn under the defence of Liszsteiner.
However, this did not bother Lazio, and they started looking for opportunities in the middle of the pitch when the touchline was not good. Candreva and Lulic frequently moved into the middle to pick up and cover Klose, while Ledesma and Hernanes formed a formidable midfield. Without Vidal's support, Pogba struggled alone. Pardoin and Marchisio were more attacking and less helpful defensively, with the 19-year-old Pogba taking on Juventus' defensive midfield duties.
In the 70th minute, Lazio finally found their chance.
Padouin made a mistake in defence and he was easily dribbled past Mauri. Mauri then gave the ball to Ledesma, who volleyed hard without thinking.
Bonucci, who had made a mistake before, didn't back down this time, jumping up and using his body to block Ledesma's long-range shot, but he himself was knocked to the ground by the force.
Candreva followed up with the ball blocked by Bonucci and fired a follow-up shot, and without Bonucci's block, the ball flew smoothly into the small penalty area.
Buffon scrambled out with both fists and smashed the ball out. Klose appeared at the bottom of the arc of the penalty area in the middle at this time, and then completed a leap to the top in the face of the flying ball. Gianluigi Buffon was unable to save his side this time as he was caught off guard by a sudden header that flew over him and into the net behind him by the time he reached out to block it.
Lazio took a 1-0 lead, with the commentator praising Klose's sword. Even the narrator in Naples sarcastically ridiculed Juventus for being beaten all over the ground by a thirty-five-year-old "old man".
However, Juventus' bad luck came thanks to the goal, just five minutes after the goal, Chiellini was tackled in the ankle by a Ledesma tackle in a scramble at the back. Rolling on the ground in pain, he didn't get up right away. Then the team doctor came on the field to make a substitution and stretcher action to the off-field manager Conte, saying that Chiellini was seriously injured and needed to be taken off the field and needed to be replaced.
Conte scolded, but not Lazio and Ledesma. Although the match between Lazio and Juventus is also full of gunpowder and big action. But none of them wanted to use "lethal tactics" as a contrary to sportsmanship, but more to express a kind of determination and scare each other.
And Conte saw clearly that Ledesma's tackle was completely towards the ball, and he did tackle the ball first. It's just that he couldn't hold it in the back and accidentally shoveled Chiellini down. So Chiellini is completely unjustified
Conte gritted his teeth and used all the two substitutions for Zuihou. Cáceres replaced Chiellini, who was injured and could not continue the game, and Li Zihan replaced striker Giaccherini, forming a "double fast" forward partner with Giovinco.
Then after the game restarted, Conte's substitutions were clearly successful, with Li Zihan and Giovinco both being speedy strikers. The two of them often cooperate to disturb Lazio's backfield, while Ledesma defended Li Zihan but could not prevent Giovinco, making Giovinco easily face the central defender and goalkeeper. And he defended Giovinco and let go of Li Zihan, and Hernanes couldn't help much in defense, he was more capable of organizing and attacking in the midfield.
Pidikovic saw that the time was almost up and immediately used all three substitutions. Replaced Mauri and Hernanes with two defenders. And the Czech high school striker Kozak, who is 1.93 meters tall, replaced the German veteran Klose, who was physically exhausted.
One is to use this substitution to tell the team, give me all the defense, we can finish the game with a one-goal advantage, don't attack and don't let the opponent score. Second, it is also to kill the time that is already running out in stoppage time.
However, as the saying goes, the more you are afraid of something, the more something will come.
Just after the substitution, Juventus took advantage of their lack of cooperation at the back to complete a successful attack. In the first minute of stoppage time, Isla and Liszsteiner stepped forward to become wingers. Giovinco took two of their defenders down the middle, leaving a small gap.
Pogba fired a long-range shot from the centre of the box and the ball flew through the gap that Giovinco pulled into the six-yard box. Marchetti made a successful save but couldn't, confiscated the ball and skated.
Li Zihan suddenly started to rush into the big penalty area, and then volleyed the ball in the air. The ball went into the net in Marchetti's desperate eyes
