"Well, for this game that must be won in order to qualify from the group, of course, Juventus, who are aiming to fight today, sent the strongest squad they can play.

Goalkeeper No. 1 Buffon.
In defence: Chiellini, Griguera, Molinaro, Lerotalie.
Midfielders: Nedved, Marchisio, Sissoko, Camoranesi.
Forwards: Amaury, Del Piero.
Okay, that's all for you to introduce the lineup here, the game has already begun, let's get into the game together. ”――
IN FACT, BEFORE JACK INTRODUCED THE SITUATION ON THE JUVENTUS SIDE, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE GENERAL DIRECTION, BUT THERE WERE SOME SMALL DETAILS THAT HE FORGOT TO INTRODUCE.
First of all, due to the current Juventus 3-2 losses in 5 rounds and Crystal Palace 4-1, resulting in Juventus losing 3 points from Crystal Palace, in this game, Juventus only has a chance to qualify, there is no problem.
However, although theoretically speaking, in this game, it is possible for Juventus to win Crystal Palace to qualify from the group! However, if Juventus really want to break out of the group, they must also meet an essential prerequisite!
As mentioned more than once, the rules for the group stage ranking of this Champions League are that when there are 2 teams with the same score, they will compare the relationship between the two sides first, regardless of the goal difference.
So, what is the relationship between Crystal Palace and Juventus so far?
In the second round of the group stage, Crystal Palace, which was sitting at home, defeated Juventus, who played one less, 2-0!
That's right, 2-0 and at home to Crystal Palace, without allowing Juventus to score an away goal.
In other words, today, if Juventus still has a little bit of coveting to qualify from the group, 1-0? Even 3 to 1 is not enough for them to squander.
Theoretically, 2-0, Juventus can buy some possibilities for themselves, but if they want to secure qualification, they need to beat Crystal Palace by at least three goals at home. In fact, before this game, Crystal Palace's qualifying situation was really not as difficult as the bricks thought before the game, and it is no exaggeration to say that at present, Crystal Palace, which has been in place in all aspects and has no large-scale injuries, if you want to keep a draw at Juventus' home stadium, it is really not too difficult to do -
Getting back to business, eyes back to the game.
After the game started, soon, the players of both sides who were not stunned by the outside media and knew what they needed most in this game gave their respective purposes and showed them on the field!
Juventus's side, because it is not only a victory, but a big victory, therefore, from the first minute of the game, Juventus completely abandoned the defensive counterattack tactics that they had always adhered to, and started a full-court attack and defense with a wide opening and closing, the rhythm of the Premier League.
Sacrificing one's strengths and attacking Crystal Palace with one's shortcomings, it seems that Juventus is the rhythm of death. But it can't stand the current situation, Juventus has to be like this!
On the other hand, Crystal Palace is here. In fact, judging from Friedman's previous starting arrangements, it is enough to explain the problem, they have to defend!
That's right, in this game, Friedman really has to defend, although there is no Montari and Sissoko, the two leaders in midfield defense, but Bale's return from the winger position that he has played for half a season to the left-back position is the best proof of Friedman's idea!
What, to call a striker back as a defender, not to defend, but to attack?
No, no, no! That's true if that person is replaced by someone else, but when it comes to Bale, it's definitely a sign that Friedman is stepping up defensively.
After all, Bale was the best left-back in the Premier League last season! Since the beginning of the new season, it is only to take advantage of Bale's speed on the wings more prominently, and to know that the team does not have many opportunities to play defensive counter-attacks, Friedman has made this choice!
……
Juventus attack.
Juventus, who grabbed Crystal Palace and beat them for more than 10 minutes, but failed to achieve any achievements, lowered the pace of the game on the pitch after 15 minutes of play.
With the ball resting near the halfway line, it was hard to give the formation of the Crystal Palace side, and after pulling it a little opener, Juventus did not rush to attack, just like they were currently leading 2-0, and passed the ball back to Buffon without hurrying!
Well, although the Crystal Palace side can qualify for this game with a draw or even a small loss, who calls the players on the field on the Crystal Palace side all "hairy boys"? Compared with the old woman, I don't dare to say anything else, Li Yi and others are not as good as the former in terms of patience!
In addition, as soon as the temptation of winning the group is in place, after seeing Juventus's side take it back, Crystal Palace does not need Friedman to make more arrangements, so he involuntarily pulls it out and slowly presses it in Juventus.
Finally played the turtle shell of the Crystal Palace, which was a turtle for 15 minutes, and the set goal has been achieved, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, when the Crystal Palace did not have any consciousness, Juventus quietly accelerated the pace on the field again.
"Bump!" With a quick kick, Chiellini accurately sent the ball to the feet of Nedved on the left side of the midfield, and after Nedved got the ball, he also did not ink, half-turned and swept away, did not stop the ball at all, kicked the ball, and swept the ball towards the position of Piero in the front!
It's a pity, how to say it, Nedved's pass is not accurate, and the time is not untimely, but Piero, who is responsible for responding, has long passed the peak of his career, and he is over 30 years old, in the first step, although the consciousness is enough, but the body is already a little powerless!
Seeing Vincent Kompany change the distance between the two from more than 5 meters to less than one meter, it is very likely that he will clear the ball before himself, and quickly swept the position of the players in the front field.
However, on the side of Crystal Palace, they thought that their defense was basically successful this time, and when they were a little relieved, they didn't notice that Piero had just tiptoed this point, and it seemed that he was forced by Kompany to have no choice, and had to make a mistake and kicked the ball into a no-man's vacuum, in fact, it was Piero's intention!
And by the time Camoranesi stepped in from the back and got the ball, it was a little too late for Palace to react!
Seeing Camoranesi get the ball back to the court before the ball went out of bounds, Bale, who had been guarding his side, didn't think much about it at the moment, and rushed to Camoranesi not far in front of him, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent had not yet held the ball steady, at this time it was impossible to make any lateral dodge actions to avoid his own tackle, and a sliding tackle was sent, and he was going to send Camoranesi off the pitch with the ball.
