Chapter 110: Prince Zebra
"Paul. Look at the other party's No. 7! 'Liverpool take a corner. George squeezes Montero's header at goal. If it weren't for Buffon's quick response. I'm afraid George will be able to score this time.
But even so. It also scared Buffon into a cold sweat. Toss the ball player to Zambrotta on the sidelines. A loud reminder to Montero.
"Don't worry. He won't have another chance. "Hear Buffon's reminder. Montero nodded. George was indeed in the middle of a battle with Montero just now. With a strong body and terrifying strength, he gained the upper hand. Grabbed Murphy's corner kick and headed it in. As a veteran player who has been famous for a long time. was pressed and beaten by a little hairy child. Although this little hairy boy is really powerful. But Montero felt uncomfortable no matter what he thought about it. Even looking at George's eyes couldn't help but become even colder.
While Buffon was still talking in Montero. Zambrotta, who had reached the ball, was already racing towards Liverpool's half. It's not just Zambrotta. With Zambrotta moving. Juventus' attacking line also began to press hard.
Liverpool naturally won't let Juventus' attack come over so easily. It's not. Liverpool's backline is also starting to prepare in a targeted manner. Embattled. Meantime. Murphy also began to chase Zambrotta. It doesn't have to be broken. But at least it won't let Zambrotta run with the ball so easily.
Zambrotta's dribbling speed wasn't very fast. Although Zambrotta's speed is not slow. But anyway, now I also run with the ball. Naturally, the speed can't be fast. Soon. Murphy gradually caught up with Zambrotta from behind. Leaning on Zambrotta's body. While pushing Zambrotta hard. While figuring out a way. Every now and then, kicks out. Get ready to grab the ball. Or poke out the sidelines.
Zambu struggled to protect the ball at his feet. While resisting the pressure brought by Murphy. Continue to force your way towards the Liverpool penalty area. However, due to Murphy's interference. This slowed Zambrotta's speed down naturally.
Looking at Liverpool, they were ready to defend. At the moment, the effect of a quick attack has been lost. Zambrotta couldn't help it. Brake abruptly during a sprint. Stopped. Pass the ball to Tacinadi on the side.
Seeing that a quick counterattack can't have any effect. With Zambrotta's pass. This means that Juventus have given up on the idea of attacking quickly. began to continue the battle of his own unfast and slow formation.
Gerard and Tacinadi suddenly got tangled. However, Tacinadi relied on his strong body and excellent foot skills. Still stubbornly guarding the ball. Don't let Gerard rob it. While observing the situation on the court. Look for opportunities to pass the ball.
"This way!" Saw Tacchinadi and Gerald tangled. Camoranesi immediately retreated. Yelled.
See Camoranesi retreat. Tacinadi didn't hesitate either. Immediately the ball was passed.
Camoranesi's to the ball. Suddenly, he slammed the ball with his heel towards the left side behind him. The body suddenly turned 180 degrees. Just flashed past Colwill who grabbed the ball. Catch up with the ball. Quickly approaching the Liverpool penalty area.
"Camoranesi. A nice heel pass. passed Colwill, who came to grab the ball. With the ball, he continued to approach the Liverpool penalty area. Camoranesi's pass this time was fantastic. From this, we can see that Camoranesi has a special knowledge and understanding of football by South American players. Now Camoranesi has closed on Liverpool's penalty area. Now let's take a look at what Camoranesi actually did with the ball. ”
When Juventus fans saw Camoranesi beat Colwill with a very beautiful heel. The entire Turin Olympic Stadium burst into enthusiastic cheers.
For Juventus fans. I have long been accustomed to the rhythm of Juventus's game, which is neither fast nor slow. It's fair to say that Juventus fans want to see a Juventus player play a difficult shot or two at home. It's all a luxury. Because Juventus is more about teamwork.
So seeing Camoranesi beat Colwill with his heel is a rare sight at the Turin Olimpic. Juventuston erupted in loud cheers.
It's the fans, after all. Although everyone wants their team to win. Able to take the championship. Even if the game is too boring, it doesn't matter much. But at the end of the day, football is a passion sport. Fans are also more likely to see this kind of excitement on the pitch.
Camoranesi's swift approach. Finally Barriser forced his way out of the box. The moment the Rieser rushed out of the penalty area. Camoranesi passed the ball. And the target of the ball was the Frenchman Trezeguet.
Who is Trezeguet. France's main center. Juventus' main centre-forward. Known as the best center forward in the world. Strong body. Excellent heading ability. Responsive. He also has a good shooting technique. This has made Trezeguet the top killer in world football at the moment.
Camoranesi believed in the energy of the French. Although Trezeguet aside. Hyypia was following closely on his feet at all times. But Camoranesi still believes. The French were able to rely on their own strength. Don't waste your own passes.
Although Trezeguet has good technique and shooting ability at his feet. But it's different from other centers. Trezeguet prefers a centre-forward in the traditional sense. Although Trezeguet often dropped out of the box to get the ball and shoot. But standing in the restricted area. Trezeguet waiting for his teammates to feed the ball. There is undoubtedly a greater danger.
Trezeguet's awesomeness Hyypia is well aware of it. Because before the start of the game. Lao Bei has repeatedly explained. Be sure to see Dead Trezeguet. Watch out for Trezeguet's header. So. Hyypia when he saw Camoranesi pass the ball to Trezeguet. Suddenly nervous. Leaning against Trezeguet. Constantly pushing. Get ready to grab points.
Although Hyypia is a little taller than his husband. The power is also great. But that doesn't mean Hyypia will be able to push Trezeguet out of position. You must know that Trezeguet is a bit of a typical traditional center forward at Juventus. Rarely drop back to get the ball. Instead, wait for your teammates to feed the ball. In a crowded forbidden area. If you want to get a pass from your teammate, you can get your header on goal. The first is the need for a strong body.
So. In the face of Hyypia's push. Trezeguet stood dead in the original. Look at the ball that is flying towards you. Prepare to jump up and head at the most suitable fit.
Finally. Trezeguet jumped. At the same time, there was also Hyypia who jumped. The two jumped together. Face the flying ball. The head slammed into it.
However, due to the better location of Trezeguet than Hyypia. So Trezeguet scrambled to get the ball first. The center's habit made Trezeguet subconsciously push the ball towards the left side of the goal.
"Stop me." Dudek yelled. Facing Trezeguet's header of less than five meters this time. Immediately made a save. Actually, it's not about making a save. It's just subconsciously stretched out. Blocked it.
But it just so happened that Dudek stretched out his hand to block it. I don't know if it's Dudek's luck. This little thing blocked it. He also happened to block Trezeguet's header.
"Wow!" Trezeguet's header was spotted without a goal. Juventus fans suddenly let out a neat cry of regret.
And at this very moment. A black-and-white figure suddenly rushed to Dudek's face. Immediately after that, Dudek only heard a "swish". The voice was familiar. Because it was the last thing Dudek wanted to hear. Because every time I hear it during a game. It means that the opponent has scored.
Dudek was not wrong in his guess. Juventus finally scored. And the scorer was none other than the captain of Juventus: Del Piero. Just now, Dudek subconsciously stretched out his hand. Although he blocked Trezeguet's header. But there was no way to stop Piero, who was making a stop-shot.
It fits in the ball being stopped by Dudek. Piero reacted. Rushed towards the ball. A stab. Easily sent the ball into the net. Del Piero. The most needed fit in Juventus. Juventus' captain Piero has finally exploded. An easy follow-up shot. Sent the ball into the back of the net. The match was perfect for the 34th minute. Juventus thanks to Piero's goal. Leading 1-0 with Liverpool. ”
Piero, who scored the goal, put it to his ear and listened. While running slowly along the sideline. See Piero in celebration. Naturally, Juventus fans don't skimp on their enthusiasm. All Juventus fans. A name is being shouted at this moment. That was Del Piero.
I heard the ball keep shouting his name. Piero couldn't help but laugh. Although Piero has seen too many such scenes. From the time he scored against Fiorentina. So many years have passed. Every time he scores at home. You can feel the love of the fans and keep calling your name like this. But Piero still enjoyed it. Because Piero liked it. I won't be numb to seeing too many scenes like this. And disgusted.
"!" Saw Piero score. Juventus took the lead. Lao Bei on the sidelines couldn't help but curse. Obviously. Liverpool were still affected by Juventus' pace of play. Otherwise. Just after Dudek blocked Trezeguet's header for the right fit. Liverpool's players will be the first to rush to the side of the ball. Kick the ball out of the box. But in the end, he was snatched a little lower by Piero. Goal from the stoppage. Obviously. Because of the pace of the game at Juventus. The reaction of the Liverpool players slowed down imperceptibly. Or rather, they are slowly becoming like Juventus players. Don't panic in anything.
Dudek blocked Trezeguet's header. But Liverpool's defenders have forgotten. Juventus' number one killer is not the sturdy Trezeguet. It's the captain of Juventus. Prince Piero of Zebras.
"It doesn't matter. It's just a ball. Stabilize me. Steady. "At this moment, Lao Bei is not good to blame his players. After all, Juventus have already scored. Scolding your players now won't help. So Lao Bei stood on the sidelines and inspired the Liverpool players.
"No, I can't. It looks like we'll wait until we're back at Liverpool. We've got to make up for that. Brush it up. Now the league and the Champions League are at their juncture. If you let the opponent score so easily. That's for us at Liverpool. Absolutely catastrophic blow. ”
Assistant coach Thompson stood beside Old Becky. He said with a sigh. I don't know how. This season. Liverpool have been snatched up by the opposition on several occasions to score in the first place. The Liverpool defenders were stunned that they did not have the opposing striker to react quickly. Come to think of it. Thompson expressed his concern to Bakery.
Hear Thompson's words. Lao Bei nodded and didn't say anything. Because Lao Bei also understood that what Thompson said made sense. At this moment, Lao Bei has already made up his mind. When we get back to Liverpool. Be sure to strengthen your practice in this area.
The game continues to begin. Liverpool kick off and pass the ball to the back. The frontcourt players began to stand and the chosen party was ready for the ambush. Begin to wait for the start of the offensive.
It's different from Juventus's unhappy and slow play. Because Liverpool has three speedy attacking players, Owen and Colwill and George. So from the beginning of this new season to the present. Liverpool have begun to get used to a fast-attacking game. In Hyypia, he saw that his teammates were ready. Immediately passed the ball to Riser on the side. The offensive began.
If you talk about the attacking speed of Liverpool and Juventus. Then it's definitely a great contrast. It's not. From the moment Hyypia passes the ball to Reese. It's less than half a minute. The ball was passed to Owen's feet. And Owen also had a shot on goal.
However, due to Montero's close defense on the side. Owen's shot didn't hit the ball with power this time. Buffon was easily pounced. The hand was tossed to Thuram on the side.
Maybe it's because Juventus have already scored a goal. Already ahead. This makes Juventus, which is already unhurried, even less busy. Constantly passing the ball from midfield and back to the feet. Dayou dragged the score of 1:0 into the halftime break.
See this. Liverpool can't help it. You can only start to perform full-court pressing. But the ball at the feet of the Juventus players is not so easy to steal and break. Five minutes passed. Liverpool players in addition to constantly consuming precious physical energy to think. Nothing else was found.
But Juventus can grind harder. But after all, as long as it's a game. It's still going to attack. With Thuram's big foot passing the ball to Nedved in front. Nedved, who was on the ball, immediately slid the ball straight into the Liverpool penalty area. Piero, the zebra prince, catches up with the ball. Pull the ball back. Dodge a neutral shift. Hara's kick-up shot.
I saw Piero get up. Carragher also immediately reached out to block Piero's shot. But because he chased the ball at the same time as Piero at the beginning. Inertia, Carragher involuntarily continued to move forward for half a meter. Half a meter away. It's enough for a top striker like Piero to shoot. Piero pulled the ball back. It's completely in habitual motion.
Because at this time Piero was in the so-called Piero area. In normal times. Piero is in this area. It's often a way to go for the goal. Then it suddenly stopped. Pull the ball back. Immediately after Hara's kick-shot. Hit the far corner of the goal.
That's why Piero pulled back. Adjustments that seemed useless were made. But Piero wasn't doing it for nothing. Because Piero is used to this way of shooting. Dribble with the ball. Stop the ball. Pull back. Shot. This is the way Piero is most familiar with shooting. If only that link was missing. I'm afraid Piero's shot on goal will not be perfect. But with these few steps. Piero's shot was undoubtedly perfect.
Pull back the ball like this. It's generally hard to score goals. Because it's not just about the physicality of the players. At the same time, it also requires the players to have superb shooting skills. But Piero was no ordinary man. Piero is the world's top striker.
At this moment, Piero is in the area of Piero that he is most familiar with. Shoot in the way you know best. It can be said that Piero's shot was very threatening. One could even say. Piero is in this area of his own. Shoot this way. It is more dangerous than any other side and any other way of shooting. (To be continued.) If you want to know what will happen next. More chapters.
