Chapter 88, Can't pounce
Buffon landed with a look of horror and disbelief on his face.
He couldn't imagine it.
Someone's shot was so fast.
The football flew over his head.
It stands to reason that he only needs to raise his hand to block the ball.
However, he failed to react.
Because the ball was so fast, so fast that he didn't have time to react.
It stands to reason.
Yelo should have a more secure way to get the ball into the back of the net.
He can shoot, he can push, he can even pass.
But he didn't.
Instead, it's a direct violent volley!!
You know, this kind of volley is easy to jerk off.
Generally speaking.
Strikers will choose to shoot safely.
And choose a direct wheel like Ye Luo.
Either it's a rookie.
Either you have absolute confidence in your footwork!
Ye Luo can't be a rookie anyway.
So he fired a powerful volley.
It's definitely a show of his faith.
He is. In a demonstration to oneself!!
Buffon patted the turf.
Then he immediately stood up.
Ran back to the goal and drove the football to the midfield.
The game isn't over yet!
Yelo's goal meant a lot for Arsenal.
Because they got an away goal.
With half time to go, they still had a chance to take the lead.
But there was not much time left in the first half.
Therefore, Arsenal's side is also seeking stability.
Instead of risking the attack, they chose to take control.
At the end of the first half.
The score on the field was 1-1.
After the whistle blew at the end of the first half.
The camera's lens was immediately focused on Buffon.
"Although Juventus drew with Arsenal in the first half, the biggest reason why they were able to achieve this result was Buffon's supernatural performance, although Buffon was still scored by Yelo, but if it weren't for him, I'm afraid Juventus would have been collapsed by Arsenal!"
"Statistically, the possession rate on both sides is comparable, but in terms of absolute scoring chances, Arsenal have a lot more chances than Juventus!!"
"If it weren't for Buffon, Juventus would have collapsed, and that's the role of a superstar!"
"For Juventus, they still have to find a way to attack in the second half of the game, because they are playing at home now, and if it ends with this scoreline, it will be a luxury for Juventus to get rid of Arsenal and qualify for the Champions League final."
At halftime.
Commentators are analysing the predicament Juventus is facing.
Judging from the data, Juventus is actually not lagging behind.
But everyone can see which team is more threatening in attack.
In particular, Juventus is still playing at home, and now they have been scored away by Arsenal.
If they can't win in the second half, then Juve will want to beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium to reach the final.
I'm afraid it can really only be an extravagant hope.
The atmosphere at the new Alpi Stadium is a little quieter.
Juventus fans also saw it.
Juventus really couldn't have a better way to face Yelo.
Although they are also applauding Buffon's performance.
But when a team relies more on the goalkeeper's play, it barely survives.
That in itself is a sign that something is wrong with the team.
The 1-1 score did not raise the morale of the Juventus players.
But no one blames Buffon.
Because Buffon was already quite good in the first half.
That ball was not saved, and it was impossible for the goalkeeper to be responsible.
Conte praised Buffon's performance in the dressing room.
At the same time, he also praised the performance of other players.
"I'm very happy with the way everyone played in the first half!"
He said.
Ye Luo's goal, no one can do anything.
It can only be admitted that Arsenal's attack did play beautifully.
If Chiellini doesn't fill that gap.
Conte was 100 per cent sure that Yelo would go through that gap, and his short burst was so fast that Chiellini couldn't have stopped it.
And Chiellini went to fill the gap.
Ye Luo immediately stopped.
It shows that Arsenal's attack this time is designed like this.
You go make it up.
I stopped to take the inverted triangle pass.
You don't make it up.
I burst into the field and shot forward.
Blocked at both ends.
So Chiellini can't be blamed for the goal conceded.
It can only be said that Arsenal's attack is too fast and perfectly designed.
And their players also played such an attack.
Yelo's threat is too great.
This has led to Juventus being a lot of go-boggers.
In the face of conceding a goal like this.
Conte has nothing to say.
He clapped his hands to remind the Juventus players of their attention.
"Guys, forget about the first half, what we need next is to attack!"
For Juventus.
They had to score in the second half.
Win at home to Arsenal.
Then there is hope of qualifying for the Champions League final.
Otherwise, if you go away to face Arsenal with a full main team.
Conte himself really doesn't have much confidence.
,.
Arsene Wenger certainly knows what Juventus will do in the second half. If they don't want to give up their hopes of qualifying, they will attack in the second half.
So Arsenal didn't have to press up and play any attack in the second half.
It's good to come back and defend and counterattack with peace of mind.
An away goal in hand.
Arsenal have the confidence to defend and counter-attack.
Arsenal don't have to take any chances.
A 1-1 scoreline Arsene Wenger was acceptable.
Of course.
If it's one to two.
One to three.
That's even better.
The time of the intermission passed quickly.
Now this scoreline leaves Juventus with no choice.
They had to put more effort into the attacking end of the pitch in the second half.
If in the first half they pressed up and attacked was the initiative choice.
Then in the second half they had to press up and attack.
The current situation is not in favor of Juventus, so even Juventus, who are called old women, have to take risks at this moment.
For the Juventus players.
They had some luck in their hearts.
They felt that in the first half, Yelo only scored one goal in the end.
On the one hand, this shows that Ye Luo is not in good shape.
At the same time, it also shows that Buffon is in good form.
Buffon definitely deserves their trust.
If they can press it up, they can regain the score.
Then, with Buffon's divine play, he may be able to maintain the lead until the end of the game.
With such a fluke in my heart.
After the start of the second half.
Juventus pressed heavily on the attack.
Now no one remembers what Juventus' style really is.
On the contrary, some veteran Juventus fans are starting to worry.
"It's not our style."
"It's too aggressive!"
"We should keep our own rhythm of the game!"
These sane voices were quickly drowned out under the frantic noise of the scene.
Before the building began to crumble.
It is always difficult for a sane voice to make a sound.
Conte is also aware of the danger of attacking like this.
But even Conte was lucky.
This kind of luck mentality will exist no matter who it is.
Because football is a sport full of chance.
If you're lucky enough.
Antonio Conte, the Juventus players, and their fans will think.
The so-called luck psychology will turn into praise for daring to take risks.
It didn't take long for the second half of the game to begin.
Ye Luo fired a cold shot on the line of the penalty area, and the football flew to the goal against the ground, and it looked like it was about to drill into the goal from the dead corner.
As a result, Buffon slammed down to save and salvage the ball back from the goal line.
Then he pressed the ball firmly under him.
Not even a corner was given to Arsenal.
The save gave the Juventus players and fans even more confidence.
We can press it up!
We don't need to worry at all!
We have Buffon!!
Juventus, whose confidence was greatly boosted, really went out to attack completely.
They bombarded Arsenal's goal.
Ye Luo also retreated to the vicinity of the center circle.
However, his task is not to be involved in defense.
Instead, wait for a counterattack!!
Juventus are attacking like crazy and Arsenal are under a lot of pressure.
But once a counterattack is formed.
Behind Juventus, there is a large open field where Yelo can gallop.
In fact, Arsenal didn't have to wait long for a counterattack.
Fifty-third minute of the game.
Arsenal broke the ball at the back and launched a counterattack at the first time.
The football was passed to the center circle.
Ye Luo made a kick to control the ball.
In the first place.
There was a huge uproar at the new Alpi Stadium.
The narrator also stood up suddenly.
Keep an eye on the pitch.
"Arsenal! The counterattack is coming!! This time it's Sanchez!! ”
The counter-attacking stance was reminiscent of Arsenal's first-half goal.
Are Arsenal going to do it again?
You can't blame people for having such a mentality.
Because everybody knows.
The strength of the three centre-backs lies in the solidity of the central defence.
correspondingly.
On the side.
The defense of the three-centre-back system is a little weaker.
This is because the three centre-backs are usually paired with two wing-backs.
That is, two players who completely occupy the wings, both pressing up to act as wingers and falling back as full-backs.
Arguably.
On the side of such a long distance
There is one player on each side.
No matter how good the player is.
It's also hard to take care of such a vast area.
Especially when Juventus pressed on the attack.
One fought back.
Wingbacks on both sides.
It's completely too late to come back and defend.
Therefore, Arsenal are now facing a constantly recovering three central defenders and three midfielders, and the flanks are almost a smooth road.
But actually for Juventus.
They now have to pick key areas defensively as well.
Compared to the wings.
The middle lane is obviously more important.
The three central defenders generally let go of the side and strictly guarded the middle
If they go to the side to defend.
There will inevitably be a huge gap in the midfield.
That's the deadliest thing.
So now Juventus' defensive options are no longer in question.
Alexis Sanchez easily walked down the flanks all the way up front.
Ye Luo directly inserted in the middle and put on a posture of wanting to grab points in the middle.
Juventus also know who is the most important person.
As a result, almost all of Juventus' defenders are moving closer to Yelo's area.
Barzagli was the only one who was preventing Sanchez Neche.
There is no concern that Sanchez will get past Barzagli one-on-one.
They were adamant that Sanchez's final pass target would be Yelo.
And not to Mane on the other side.
Of course, if Sanchez passes to Mane.
Then they can only consider themselves unlucky.
Because Yelo is much more terrible than Mane.
At this time.
They can only choose the most threatening one.
So there was such a strange scene near the Juventus penalty area.
It stands to reason that it's three to three now.
It should be one person guarding one.
But now all three centre-backs have chosen to guard against Yelo.
Even if he pulls out to prevent Sanchez from dribbling into the box to shoot Barzagli.
In fact, I am also paying attention to Ye Luo's position.
This means that Yelo is facing two centre-backs alone, as well as half of Barzagli's defence.
Mane, on the other hand, is left alone.
"Chuan Mane!!"
There were Arsenal fans chanting.
Right now.
Sanchez crosses.
He didn't wait for Barzagli to pounce.
Instead, he took advantage of Barzagli's failure to block the passing lane and preemptively pass the ball.
The ball flew in an arc towards the penalty area.
What everyone didn't expect was this.
What he is looking for is Ye Luo's point!!
Even though there might be better space to pass to Mane, at this moment, Sanchez still trusts Yelo's ability even more.
There is no doubt about it.
Moment of truth.
Ye Luo is the one you can trust!
Soccer balls flying.
Ye Luo got up as soon as he could.
Bonucci and Chiellini sandwiched Yelo almost like a sandwich biscuit.
Chiellini also grabbed Yelo's clothes with his hands behind his back.
If Ye Luo was willing to shout at this time, and then fall to the ground, roll three hundred and sixty degrees, and then cover his knees and ankles and scream again and again.
It was possible to get a penalty.
And the odds are high.
But Ye Luo never disdained that.
He thinks the goal is too unmasculine.
Football is a men's sport.
This kind of scene of falling to the ground and screaming and rolling is too ugly.
It's a bit of a mother.
Yelo wants to score.
It is about to enter above board.
Enter without controversy!
He's not afraid of bags.
Because when he jumps, no one can compete with him physically.
Plus he really jumps very high!!
"Oh God"
The Italian narrator exclaimed.
Because from his point of view.
Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini pulled Yelo's shirt tight.
even
Tear and pull!
Jersey.
Tear!
Ye Luo's body was like a golden cicada coming out of its shell.
Open your arms and adjust your breathing.
Chest up, head up, belly tighter!!
The strength of the muscles in the body is transmitted to the head through the strong neck.
Bang!
He slammed the soccer ball in the forehead.
The ball changes direction and flies towards the goal.
Near the penalty spot.
Yelo Lion shakes his head!
Buffon has done everything he can.
He jumped, flew, and stretched his body as far as he could.
He pounced in the right direction.
But Ye Luo's ball is a bouncing to the ground!
The ball slammed under his arm and bounced off the ground and slipped away from his hand.
Velocity.
Angle.
Line.
in all respects.
All proven.
This ball.
You can't pounce out.
Must score!!
