Chapter 224: The Battle for the League's Top Scorer (Part II)

Three days later, on the afternoon of May 11, that is, this Saturday, the penultimate round of Serie A this season continued.

For the last seven games in three games, Juventus's players are still a little overwhelmed, which is why Weishenme arranged for Conte to play all the substitutes in the last round of the league, of course, Li Zihan and Pogba rely on their own performance and performance, and are now part of the main team.

Although tired is a little tired, the players have no complaints at all, because they can basically rest after a few games, and then it will be a second of vacation time.

Of course, the players of the national team will not be able to enjoy the holidays, because this summer's champions from all continents will attend the FIFA Confederations Cup, the adaptation match for next year's Shijie Cup in Brazil.

In this home game against Cagliari, Conte sent all the main line-up. However, considering that Andrea Pirlo was injured a few days ago, and he started many games as a regular this season, he was a little tired physically, and he was also selected for the national team. Such a tight schedule would overload his body, and after all, he is not young. So Pirlo didn't play in this game, and he wasn't even in the squad to replace Pogba in the midfield.

Juventus, who were sitting at home, launched an attack on Cagliari's backline as soon as they came up, and they still gave Li Zihan the opportunity to score the main goal, after all, Li Zihan still has a good chance to impact Cavani's goal figures.

It's just that Cagliari is obviously not willing to be a foil, although his team is not qualified to play in Europe, and there is no worry about relegation, it can be said that there is no desire. But the new manager doesn't want to lose a lot of games after only two months in charge, even though he faces Juventus.

Two months ago, Cagliari's manager failed to win a game after the winter break due to his poor leadership. The team was on the verge of relegation, and the board of directors fired the former foreign head coach on the grounds of poor transfer recruitment and poor results in the winter. Then the new Italian coach took over.

The new manager has a lot of experience in leading the team to relegation, and it doesn't cost much to poach a small team in Serie B, so the board has high hopes for him. And he did not disappoint the other side, as they were relegated early with five wins, one loss and two draws, and are now in 12th place in the league, and they have successfully pulled Palermo, Genoa and Torino into the water.

The manager travels a lot between Serie A and Serie B, but he is also ambitious and wants to establish himself in Serie A, so a team like Cagliari is an opportunity at the moment. The general task of a small team like this is not very heavy, as long as it is not relegated or caught in the quagmire of relegation, the board will not dismiss the head coach at will, so as long as he leads the team to good results, he can establish himself in Cagliari. Then with excellent results, Zuihou went to some mid-table teams, and then slowly climbed to the upper teams.

Therefore, he also attaches great importance to Zuihou in a few games this season, and after the season, the team will move up one place in the standings, and his position will be more secure. And against Juventus, he had already prepared for this game, and he told his players before the game that he didn't have to score, but he must not concede!

And his players listened to the new manager and implemented his tactical philosophy.

So Li Zihan is in trouble now, and it should be said that the whole of Juventus is in trouble. Any Serie A team, if you are determined to play defense with you, then there is an urge for the attacking players to want to scold their mothers.

Li Zihan received passes from his teammates several times and wanted to attack, but was intercepted by the opponent's midfielder, or was simply put on the ground.

And in the face of this situation, Li Zihan is also on fire. Seeing the opponent coming again, he ran two steps with the ball, as close as possible to the opponent's goal.

Then seeing that the opponent was about to kick him down, Li Zihan turned around decisively to protect the ball, turned his back to the direction of the attack, and wanted to make a fake action of passing. The other party's foot directly shoveled Li Zihan's heel, because he was afraid that the other party's shoe spike would run towards his hind calf without shin guards, he also made a slight protective action. In the end, Li Zihan, who had his back to the opponent, was brought to the ground by the defender's tackle.

The referee did not cheat like the police uncle in the Hong Kong blockbuster, but he appeared at the scene of the incident as soon as possible, and then showed a yellow card to the defender who tackled. Then he pointed to the place where Li Zihan fell to the ground - giving a direct free kick in front.

The Cagliari captain came up to communicate, and when he saw that Pirlo was no longer there, he thought that the opponent's free-kick was not very threatening. But it is easy to foul this kind of defensive tactics, and if you eat too many cards, you can only shrink back when you get to the back, you must know that if you give two yellow cards, the team will have one less person on the field.

"Hey sir, my teammate he didn't mean to, and he tackled the ball, not the opposing guy. A direct free kick is not far off, is it too serious to give a card? ”

He didn't know if his teammates had fallen to the ground and tackled people, and of course, even if he was running for someone in this situation, he couldn't admit it.

The referee pointed two fingers at his eyes and then at his opponent. The meaning is obvious - I can see it clearly, don't want to play any tricks.

Seeing that the referee was very determined, the captain knew that his tactics of putting pressure on the referee had failed, so he shrugged his shoulders with innocently spread his hands, and then went to the wall without saying much.

It was only his actions that angered the Old Lady fans at home, and tens of thousands of Juventus fans condemned each other with boos and curses, as well as expressed their displeasure.

"Red card!! Hell, that should be a red card! ”

"That's right, they should be given a red card, you see they are getting bigger and bigger."

"Just run for a foul and find the referee to make trouble unreasonably, which should give him a red card and let him go down to cool down."

The free-kick was about thirty yards from goal and Pogba stood in front of the ball. As for Li Zihan, who is now under the tutelage of Pogba instead of Pirlo, who is now under the tutelage of Weishenme, even Conte doesn't know, he only sees that this is the result of discussions between Li Zihan, Pogba and Vidal.

Pogba is flanked by Vidal, and Li Zihan's position is parallel to him on the left side of Vidal, and Li Zihan's right front is in the direction of the goal.

Pogba took a deep breath and took off. It looked like he was about to hit the goal with a standard heavy shot, but just as his foot was about to touch the ball, he unloaded most of his force and pushed it to Vidal, who was not far away.

Cagliari's wall thought Pogba was going to shoot, so they were deceived by Pogba's feints and jumped early. Seeing that they had been fooled, the Cagliari players immediately ran up to the ball to break the ball on the spot, but Vidal did not give them a chance.

Vidal knocked the ball directly to Li Zihan next to him, and Li Zihan stepped on the ball with his left foot and stopped the ball. Then he directly picked up his right leg and shot directly into the ball without looking at the opponent's penalty area.

The shot came as a surprise to everyone, and by the time they could react, the ball had flown over the heads of the wall players on the edge of the box and headed straight for the opposing balls.

"Juventus brilliant free-kick in front, Pogba passes to Vidal, Vidal knocks to Lee, Lee shoots straight at goal!!"

The Cagliari goalkeeper didn't expect this to be the case, and by the time he reacted to make the save, it was too late. The ball hung in the top right corner of the goal before him and flew into the goal.

"The ball went in!! Well done, Li Zihan!! I also said before that Weishenme was Pogba who took the penalty instead of Li Zihan, it turned out that the three of them had a cooperation, and the direct free kick was kicked as an indirect free kick!! A beautiful free-kick tactical combination, they successfully deceived the opposing player, and finally Li Zihan lived up to expectations and scored in this game. On the other side, Cavani did not score, that is, now Li Zihan and Cavani's goals have been reduced to one goal again, and Udinese's Di Natale has an assist, but it is not a goal, so Li Zihan does not have to worry about the chasing soldiers behind him for the time being. ”

Li Zihan was very excited after the goal, and he hugged every team that came up. The crowd cheered him on, as it had been a long time since Juventus had seen a player wear a black and white zebra jersey for the league's top scorer award.

And Herhouse didn't know if he was overjoyed, he didn't look like a football commentator or commentator at all, shouting like an ordinary fan: "Well done, this is Lee - and his 27th league goal of the season, as for the Champions League goals sorry, I forgot to count!" ”

This sentence frightened the cameraman in front of him in a cold sweat, for fear that he would be fired by the company because of this big-name commentator with "characteristics" and "personality".

After scoring a goal, Li Zihan played more actively in the later games, because his speed was too fast, and his teammates couldn't keep up, and Li Zihan often fell into the dilemma of fighting alone in the front court.

In the end, Juventus could not extend the score, but were equalized by Cagliari in the 82nd minute of the second half. Cagliari's midfielder threatened the Juventus goal with a long-range shot, the ball hit Cáceres' thigh in the box, and then bounced into the back of the net, and even goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon could not do anything in the face of such a strange trajectory.

Cagliari, on the other hand, left Juventus Arena contented with a point away from home, as if it didn't look like an average but rather a win.

However, he also heard good news for Li Zihan, although Cavani and veteran Di Natale played the full 90 minutes, both scored.

So now on the scorer list, Cavani ranks first with 28 goals, Li Zihan ranks second with 27 goals, and Di Natale ranks third with only 25 goals.

It seems that the competition for the league's top scorer will not be divided until the end of the game.
