Chapter 223: The Battle for the League's Top Scorer (Part I)

In the second half, Conte did not make personnel adjustments, he just told his disciples to pay attention to efficiency when attacking, and to play the flexible chain defense of the 352 formation when defending.

And Li Zihan also took advantage of the halftime break to tell his teammates not to pass the ball to himself when there is no time, and it is useless to pass it.

It's just that this sentence drew a roll of Giaccherini's eyes, yes, I want my teammates to pass the ball to me and let me be the core of the attack.

The second half of the game started quickly, and the Juventus players drew the lessons of the first half, although they wanted to help Li Zihan score more goals, but they didn't want to be so easily seized by the opponent to counterattack.

Therefore, Juventus played more patiently in the second half, but the four big players in the midfield, Vidal, Marchisio, Pirlo and Pogba were not there, which made Juventus's midfield organization clumsy.

Although Marone and Pardoin are full of aura on the court and have done a conscientious defensive and offensive work, it is not one or two points that are lacking when it comes to organization.

Therefore, Juventus's offensive coordination is not threatening, especially when the opponent locks Li Zihan up.

Conte on the sidelines obviously discovered this a long time ago, but he originally wanted the team to adjust themselves, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so tenacious.

Then I had to sigh in my heart, Li's joke is really not a joke, it hurts and is difficult to fight! (Atlanta).

Zuihou waved his hand to let Pogba go to warm up, because of Pirlo's injury, I don't know if he can play in the next league game, but considering his age can not withstand the high-intensity toss, so even if he can, Conte will not necessarily let him play. So Pogba was originally going to replace Andrea Pirlo in the next game, but he didn't expect to have to let him play in this game.

Paul Pogba replaced Padoin and Juventus began to strengthen their midfield.

Pogba came on for a few minutes and his impact was there.

Defensively, Pogba is better than Padoin, who is more attack-oriented in his character. Therefore, once the opponent wants to launch an offensive, in front of the midfield defense led by Marrone and Pogba, they often can't even pass this hurdle in the midfield.

Although Li Zihan was locked by the opponent, in the case of worry-free midfield, Juventus's overall offensive power was reflected.

Massimo Pepe and Giaccherini used both touchlines to attack the opposition's defence, while they were assisted by Isla and De Celli on the same flank.

In this way, the opponent's defense line is frequently urgent.

Massimo Pepe is physically strong and almost squeezed the opposing full-backs away with his body in a touchline break. Then go down and block his attacking route when the opposing centre-back pulls up the distance to block his attacking route. Massimo Pepe made a move that had just eaten raw to the opposing full-back, made the same feint with the intention of rushing hard, and then suddenly rolled the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

Because the two of them on the other side often look at Li Zihan, as soon as Li Zihan starts to run, the attention of the two is all on Li Zihan, and Li Zihan runs before Massimo Pepe passes, so that Massimo Pepe sees the gap and passes the ball to where.

Pogba, who was plugged in from Zuihou, shot straight to the goal from distance when unguarded, but the goalkeeper was noticeably slow to react and couldn't make a save. But Pogba didn't have a chance to adjust when he got the ball up, and Zuihou hit the top of the crossbar, and the ball flew high and flew off the baseline.

Pogba spat with his hands on his hips, obviously dissatisfied with the kick and quite unconvinced. Because he thought it was there when he got up, he thought it would hit the bottom edge of the crossbar and bounce into the goal.

Although the goal was not scored, it still scared the Atalanta players and home fans into a cold sweat. Zuihou their organizers had to make a decision to slightly weaken their guard against Li Zihan and strengthen other aspects.

In this way, Li Zihan has one less person to guard him, which makes it much easier. Of course, at this time, he didn't immediately jump like Sun Monkey escaped from Wuzhi Mountain, he was waiting for an opportunity.

Five minutes later, Pogba held the ball and saw the opportunity to send it behind him.

Li Zihan started quickly and plugged it in. Li Zihan, who had been silent, suddenly broke out, obviously a little bit too late.

He easily made his way through the opposition midfield and then met the ball behind the opponent's midfield.

Zuihou sped up and went straight to the opponent's backcourt.

After half a game of inaction, Li Zihan obviously held his breath in his heart. He rushed directly to the opponent's backfield with murderous energy, and the opposing fullback knew that something was wrong and wanted to cut it in diagonally. But Li Zihan did not slow down, but lightly picked up when the opponent rushed over, and the ball flew from the opponent's left to the opponent's right back. Li Zihan accelerated directly through the opponent's defense without the ball, and then re-received the ball behind the opponent.

The opposing central defender saw that the fullback was very easy to pass by Li Zihan and immediately came to fill the position. Li Zihan didn't ink either, and when the opponent came up and there was still some distance left, Li Zihan decisively knocked the ball to Massimo Pepe, who was already unguarded on the side.

Massimo Pepe received the ball without delay and sent it back to the back of the opposing centre-back. Li Zihan did not stop after passing the ball, but continued to rush forward. Because he knows that although he and Massimo Pepe do not work well together, as a player who has played in the top league for many years, his experience will definitely allow him to make the right choice.

Sure enough, just as he got past the opposition centre-back, he saw the ball roll from behind him diagonally to directly in front of him, and he only needed to run two steps to get it. Then there is no need to worry about offside, because the other central defender of the opposing team is far behind the back point of the hanging, so there is no offside.

Li Zihan, who regained the ball, continued to attack the opponent's backfield, and finally attracted the backward central defender to block the way.

He rushed up and wanted to shout: "Oh, I planted this grass, I opened this museum, I want to live from now on and leave the ball!" ”

But Li Zihan didn't give him a chance to be a good blocker, Li Zihan made a feint to speed up and break through his defense, and the opponent stretched out his foot to leave the ball, or a person. Anyway, the man and the ball must leave one, and this distance is not in the penalty area, and there is no fear of the risk of penalty kicks.

But Li Zihan did shake his foot, and a boccia ball was sent to his right front, where was the area just past the arc in the middle of the big penalty area.

Giaccherini quickly arrived at this position, and the strength of Li Zihan and Massimo Pepe attracted most people's attention before, but this "inspirational brother" who has been waiting for an opportunity has not been noticed.

At this point he rushed to the box to get the ball, and Atalanta realized that they had ignored the man.

Giaccherini, who was keeping up, looked at the goal and the goalkeeper in front of the goal, then shot with the inside of his left foot.

The goalkeeper made a quick side save, but it was too late and he couldn't get the ball down. The ball grazed the tips of his fingers and continued to roll behind him, and the goalkeeper was shocked and tried to look back, only to see the ball grazing the post and rolling out of the bottom line.

He breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his back was already drenched with sweat.

Giaccherini clutched his head in frustration, clearly unhappy with the missed opportunity. Later, he raised his head and gave Li Zihan a thumbs up, signaling that the opponent had passed the ball well.

Li Zihan raised his hand to comfort Giaccherini, in fact, if he forced a chance to shoot this ball, it would be okay, and now in this situation, his teammates are very supportive of his own shooting, but he thought about it for a while It is better to give Giaccherini on the side, after all, that position is a little bigger.

I didn't expect Giaccherini's angle to be too awkward, in fact, Giaccherini didn't have to be in such a hurry to hit the goal, because the position where he received the ball was out of a vacuum, and he had every chance to adjust his shot.

In the end, in the following games, although Juventus attacked with fierce firepower, they still failed to score effectively. It was Li Zihan who scored a goal in a cooperation with Pogba, but it was blown out by the referee before he could celebrate.

Li Zihan didn't go to the referee to theorize, because he felt a little offside when Pogba passed the ball, but he didn't have time to think about it when he saw the ball coming, so he had to bite the bullet. It was really offside, Li Zihan just stood at the place where he shot and watched the linesman, and the linesman nodded at him after putting down the small flag in his hand.

Li Zihan could only cry and laugh.

At the end of the game, Li Zihan also failed to score, and the whole Juventus team could not equalize. Juventus came off the bench for the majority of their squad in a 1-0 defeat away to Atalanta.

What made him unhappy was that assistant coach Carrera told him about the results of the other two games when he left the game.

Napoli beat Bologna 3-0, with Edinson Cavani scoring a goal and two goals ahead of Li Zihan in the top scorers' charts.

Udinese, on the other hand, also won 3-2 away to Palermo, which needed to be relegated, with veteran captain Di Natale scoring a goal. Now it ranks third with 25 on the scorer list, only one goal behind Li Zihan, who is second.

Both of Lee's rivals scored, which is not good news for Lee. Originally, Li Zihan didn't pay so much attention to the league Golden Boot award, but in his opinion, his first season was already quite good, so the league's top scorer was dispensable. But after this game, the momentum in his heart that he did not admit defeat was rekindled.

Don't look at Li Zihan, who usually doesn't pay attention to anything, and looks a little sullen and small, but in football, once his competitiveness rises, he can't suppress it.
