Chapter 314: Doing It Yourself? No, it's a team win!

Large swaths of the stands at the Juventus Arena were silent at the moment, with the exception of the thousands of Chelsea fans who gathered in the stands where they were celebrating wildly.

Pogba was pulled off the turf by Patrice Evra.

Watching his favorite superstar score up close, Pogba felt uncomfortable.

Because this time he became the background board for Li Ang's goal, and he did not leave any impression on Li Ang in this head-to-head battle with Li Ang.

At least that's what he himself thinks.

He does have the capital to be proud of, both technically and physically, and he has a talent in both areas that other midfielders can only dream of.

But now he was hit hard by Leon.

This feeling of inability to compare is very frustrating for Pogba.

Pirlo took the look of frustration on Pogba's face and sighed imperceptibly.

When Leon came to Milan, the talent he showed was not at all comparable to that of Pogba now.

But at that time, Li Ang was not depressed by this, but learned from all the seniors in the team every day.

In Serie A, the label on Leon at that time was just a promising defensive giant.

He doesn't have to deal with any attacking opponent alone.

But when he failed, Leon never had such a frustrated expression on his face.

He'll either go up to the fight again, or he'll ask for help from his teammates more simply.

In terms of mentality and ability to resist psychological pressure, Leon has always been the toughest of the younger generation of players Pirlo has seen.

Originally, he felt that Pogba also had the possibility of catching up with Leon's achievements and abilities in the future.

After all, God has given Pogba an all-around talent in terms of both technique and physicality.

Pogba's current training can be regarded as hard, and as long as he keeps his ambition, the future is also limitless.

But now Pirlo has completely cut off that idea.

The gap in mentality between the two seems to be too big now.

Without Lee's mental ability, Pogba would never have been able to become a true attacking and defensive core in a team.

Pirlo deeply regretted this.

Of course, this regret did not last long.

Pogba is a Frenchman after all and he won't play for Italy.

Besides, when it comes to the hard work of teaching, Pirlo feels that he should be more attentive to Leon's teaching.

To be able to teach a Leon, Pirlo was completely satisfied.

Pogba is also okay, even if he can't be a big core, he will also have the qualifications to go to a giant club as a puzzle in the future.

Pirlo felt that he had better not be too greedy, and looking at the current Leon, he was proud enough.

Even if Leon is breaking through his team's goal at the moment......

After retracting the eyes that compared Leon and Pogba, Pirlo's face returned to a calm expression.

He smoothed his long hair and then reminded his team-mates that the game wasn't over yet and that they needed to get back together to continue competing with Chelsea!

Li Ang had already relieved his breath at this time.

After shouting at the stands where the Chelsea fans were, he trotted back to half-time with a series of smiling and slapping of his team-mates.

Mu Shuai deliberately waited on the sidelines to stretch out his palm, and Li Ang smiled and high-fived his boss in celebration.

Terry waited at the end, gave Leon a big hug, patted Leon on the head, and kept saying something in his ear.

Commentators from all over the world watched the scene and were lamented by the unity of the Chelsea squad.

That's what Chelsea fans are most proud of right now.

The game soon resumed, and the whole Chelsea squad looked more imposing and stuck to the half, resolutely playing Juventus' counter-attack.

This kind of game scene is a big headache for Juventus fans.

Allegri sat in the coach's box, looking calm on the surface, but his heart was already rippling.

He now understands Pep Guardiola's mood every time he faces Chelsea.

They weren't too worried about Mourinho's tactical design and his tactical back.

Because they have the corresponding tactical record, even if the countermeasures do not play a particularly big role, at least there is such a plan.

Poor on-the-spot adjustments won't make their team completely passive.

But it is the presence of Leon that will always make the situation on the pitch suddenly unbalanced at a certain time, and completely fall into the rhythm of Chelsea.

Leon seems to have some kind of magic to restrain the strong team.

When Chelsea usually played as a weak team, Leon's performance was good, but it was the kind of good that fans expected.

Only playing in a strong team, since when he was in Real Madrid, the attributes of a strong team's nemesis like Li Ang are very rebellious!

And the stronger the opponent, the more violent his play will be, and there is no scientific logic at all!

Kick Barcelona, he can solve the battle with two head hammers like gods, kick Manchester City, he will give you two world waves in a row!

Against Juventus today, Leon directly broke the balance of the game with an incredible single steal and on-the-spot counterattack...

Uncle Yu was a little numb.

He didn't even understand it now, how could it be a brilliant counter-attacking threat from his own side, and in the end, it became Chelsea's chance to break the game?!

Shouldn't such a metaphysical scene appear in his ranks?

It's hard!

It's really hard!

"Why don't we step up our attack?"

The assistant's voice came again, and Allegri rubbed his temples, but still chose to hold off.

I didn't adjust it before because the situation and the pace of the game were fine.

The reason for not adjusting now is that the balance of the game has been broken, and Allegri believes that the team needs to be firm in their tactical thinking and stabilize the situation first.

Well, my uncle's brain circuit is like this, no matter if outsiders think it's reasonable, he thinks the tactics are reasonable, that's fine!

Soon, the Juventus players on the pitch were given tactical instructions to stay at the back and not give Chelsea a second chance to score.

Vidal and Pogba were a little anxious, but Pirlo was used to Allegri's tactical thinking.

Several veterans in the team are pressing, and Pogba can only hold back their emotions if they don't like this conservative style of play.

Mourinho saw that Allegri did not make a big move to adjust tactics, so he also directly signaled Leon to control the ball with Kroos as much as possible on the field.

Playing away from home in the Champions League, 1-0 is a very comfortable scoreline.

Anyway, Mourinho is completely acceptable, and if Allegri is willing to cooperate, this game will end with this scoreline, and he has no problem at all.

Many Juventus fans are still waiting to see their team launch a big counter-attack.

As a result, almost three minutes after the game restarted, what they saw was still a "peaceful" situation in which the players of both teams on the field stared at each other, and if you don't attack me, you will control the ball.

Milan fans are all too familiar with this scene, but many neutral fans don't know it.

All of a sudden, on major sports broadcasts and sports forums, long-time Milan fans explained Allegri's unique tactical ideas to unexplained neutral fans.

You don't need to win more, 1-0 is enough, and you don't have to rush when you fall behind.

Playing two legs, the fans will have to calm down.

Because losing the first leg is not a big deal for Allegri's team at all.

As long as he doesn't lose enough and loses 0-1 in the first leg, Allegri can also wait until the second leg to develop offensive tactics to rush back.

Don't ask, it's safe to ask.

If you lose the ball, you must first consolidate the defensive line, then the instability is a ghost!

As the game went into a détente, Chelsea and Juventus seemed to have forgotten that they could still attack.

In this way, the score of 1-0 was maintained, and each other went into halftime.

For neutral fans, the pace of the game is nothing short of torture.

They came to watch this Champions League focus battle today in order to see the attack, to see the hegemony of the Premier League and Serie A open and stab each other!

If it's for the defensive game, then why should they wait until today to watch this game?

Isn't it nice to watch a few more Serie A games on weekdays!

Maybe it's the second half of the game, which can still make neutral fans have a lot of expectations.

So at half-time, at the beginning of the second half, the ratings of this Champions League match had not yet slipped significantly.

But after playing almost 10 minutes in the second half, seeing that the two teams still stood still, it seemed that after acquiescing to the score of 1-0.

Many neutral fans were fooled and turned around to watch the match between Atletico Madrid and Arsenal next door.

Although Atletico Madrid is also playing defensive tactics that cut the rhythm of the game, at least Arsenal is still attacking!

And Atletico Madrid's counterattack is also very sharp, in general, there are back and forth with Arsenal, which is better than playing "tacit ball" here.

Neither Allegri nor Jose Mourinho are the kind of managers who value ratings and outside evaluation.

Anyway, if Juventus doesn't take the initiative to attack today, Chelsea will definitely not press out to give Juventus a chance to equalize!

Just highlight a conservative and steady.

However, Juventus, or Allegri, have not been able to settle down in the end.

Sixty minutes into the second half, Juve's attacking attempt came.

Although Llorente was still sitting on the bench at the moment, Leon looked at Juventus, who were slowly pressing up to make an offensive test, and still signaled to his captain as soon as possible:

"Watch out for Juve's headers!"

Terry nodded cautiously to Leon to show that he understood.

Alvaro Morata is in a way the same as Romelu Lukaku.

Their center skills are not comprehensive, but they all have their own outstanding strengths.

Romelu Lukaku is very good at pulling the side and forcing one-on-one explosions, while Morata is very good at heading in the box.

So when Leon plays with them, he will give more advance balls to the side and one more to high balls.

If you change the characteristics to feed the ball, then Lukaku and Morata will instantly turn from rising stars on the pitch to sleeping dragons and phoenixes.

This is a statement that is absolutely not a joke.

While it is true that Romelu Lukaku looks more like a black and hard man who is good at receiving high balls, Alvaro Morata also looks more like a technical stream who is good at shooting from the ground......

Juve brought in Alvaro Morata, so naturally they will develop attacking tactics for him according to his characteristics.

Sure enough, after an attacking probing on the press, Juve soon launched a series of lobbed crosses.

Morata is a good runner, sprints quickly and has a very precise grasp of the landing of high balls.

Juventus smashed the ball high in the air at the moment, and did not expect Morata to directly equalize under the pressure of Terry's defense.

Instead, they want to use enough high ball opportunities for Morata to scramble for as many as possible.

Whether Alvaro Morata struck directly at goal or crossed with a header to give Tevez, who was lying behind him, a chance to shoot with his feet, it was a success of Juve's attacking tactics.

It's a pity that with Leon, the big brother who knows Morata best, there are enough Chelsea defenders to prepare themselves early.

Alvaro Morata was in good position, but when it was time to force a point, Terry became a defensive mountain in front of him that he could barely cross!

When it comes to stature, Morata is actually not bad now.

But in front of the former world No. 1 heavy defender, his confrontation strength is still not enough.

After being suppressed by Terry three times in a row and unable to grab a point, Morata himself was a little lacking in confidence.

Seeing this, Allegri also decisively adjusted his offensive tactics, and Juventus changed from high-altitude bombing to an offensive style of ground penetration.

But that's what Chelsea's defence is doing.

Compared to the ground penetration attack, who team in football can play better than Manchester City right now?

Chelsea's ability to deal with this kind of technical attack has long been honed in the constant battle with Manchester City.

At the moment, Juventus chose this attacking mode, but it is equivalent to reducing the defensive pressure of the whole Chelsea team.

The game was fast approaching the seventieth minute of the second half, and Juventus were still unsuccessful in attack.

Jose Mourinho also began to send the defenders on the bench to warm up on the sidelines.

As soon as Li Ang saw it, he also decisively retreated to the back position.

Five minutes later, Maguire, who was standing on the sidelines, was substituted at about the same time as Juventus' high striker Llorente.

Allegri couldn't help but spray a few words in his heart.

To be honest, the relationship between the two is not bad, if it weren't for the live broadcast of the game at this time, Uncle Yu would definitely rush to Lao Mu directly and pull his collar and ask.

"Did you mean to? Ah, bastards! You must have done it on purpose! ”

The fans who saw Maguire and Llorente being substituted at almost the same time in front of the TV couldn't stop talking.

Even the Juventus fans couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

Mu Shuai's substitution is really too funny.

As soon as Maguire came on the field, he directly offset Llorente's advantage of grabbing points in the air.

And in the 80th minute of the second half, Mourinho replaced Hazard with Callas, and the game came to a real end.

In the end, with all Chelsea players firmly retreating, Juventus could only swallow the bitter fruit of the 0-1 defeat in this game.

Leon's brilliant tackle and counter-attacking goal became the key point in the turning point of the game.

After the match, before he could exchange pleasantries with his old teammates Alvaro Morata and Andrea Pirlo, he was surrounded by a crowd of Italian journalists.

After being praised by Sky Sports Italia reporter for single-handedly changing the course of the game, Leon interrupted him directly in Italian and replied sincerely:

'There's never a one-man story on football, it's a team win, a win for us as a Chelsea team!'
