Chapter 357: Juventus Old Boy
Ooh!
The sighs of the fans echoed throughout the Allianz Arena.
[Oh, it's a pity! γ
[Bayern suddenly launched an attack in the midfield! ] γ
[Vidal speeds up and sprints, Juve's defense can't stop it!] γ
[Rossi's running position instantly shook off Barzagli! ] γ
[Chiellini's tackle in the penalty area is very decisive! γ
[Clean defense, destroy the ball out of the base!] γ
[This is the real Italian defense!] γ
[Even if it's Rosie, she can't get a bargain! γ
Rosie, who was sitting on the turf and sorting out her socks, suddenly reached out with a pair of big hands.
"Today, you don't want to score under my nose!"
Looking at Chiellini's determined and confident eyes, Rossi stretched out his hands and was pulled up by him.
"We'll see, the game has just begun!"
After that, James went to the corner and prepared to take the corner.
Rossi stood at the front point, and Desiglio was inseparable.
Even if they are not good at fighting for the top, Juve's defense will not show a trace of carelessness.
James passes the ball into the box.
At the same time, Rossi suddenly turned around and ran back.
Desiglio also hurriedly turned to follow, but he hit Lewandowski headfirst.
"Supplement, supplement!"
Desiglio loudly reminds his teammates that he has lost his mark on Rossi.
Alerted by his teammates, Barzagli was keenly aware of Rossi's movement and chose to grab it as soon as possible.
At an advanced age, he still lacks speed and reflexes, but his rich defensive experience and anticipation can make up for the decline in function caused by age.
Teammate Giellini Chiellini can also make up for it in time.
The so-called older the more demonic, it is this type of player.
Bang!
He tackled aggressively and pushed the ball out of the box before Rossi to defuse the crisis.
[Barzagli's clearance is very crucial. γ
[If he doesn't step forward, continue to defend Lewandowski. γ
[Then Rossi is completely empty in the middle lane.] γ
[He, together with Chiellini and Buffon, form an impregnable wall of Juventus. γ
Ancelotti looked at the two veterans of the Juventus defense, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a look of embarrassment.
If you want to break down Juve's goal, you must first pass the two defensive experts of Barzagli and Chiellini.
The two have a good physical confrontation, accurate prediction, clean movements, and one-on-one defense is a world-class central defender, and it is not easy to penetrate the defense of the two.
After patiently researching, Bayern's coaching staff came up with a viable plan β attacking behind Barzagli.
The 187cm centre-back doesn't bounce well enough, is not his forte, and has a slow turnaround speed, making him vulnerable to being beaten in the back.
Rossi's erratic movement and super forward insertion are just the right fit for a centre-back like him.
But Juventus is not an ordinary team, and if they can win the championship in Serie A, which has the best defense, they must be the best in defense.
Allegri's solution was very simple, Chiellini's reinforcement.
The two have formed a very tacit cooperation in many years of playing, and even Barcelona, which has super offensive ability, can only score a goal in two rounds.
After the clearance ball was picked up by Khedira outside the penalty area, it quickly moved to the wing.
Vidal was the first to press on here, restricting their flank advances.
When there are no counter-attacking opportunities, Juventus' approach is to slow down the attacking tempo.
They will start to possess the ball and penetrate with short passes at the back, and keep the attack moving forward.
Bayern's formation will gradually lead to the implementation of central pressure and side blockade.
In the face of aggressive pressure from Bayern's double midfielders, Allegri's side remained unhurried.
The distance between their two centre-backs is very wide, with the full-backs around the touchline, providing reasonable passing options for the two.
Defensive midfielder Khedira will retreat to the periphery of the defence to support the team's offensive progress.
Making the most of the width of the pitch is the most effective way for Juve to crack the opposition's press.
If the opposition increases the number of people pressing up front, then another midfielder, Bentancur, will also be quick to return to position and receive the pass.
[A famous coach is a famous coach, and the two teams play very distinctly. γ
[Ancelotti's pressing and locking tactics effectively block Juve's speed on the wing. γ
[But Allegri relied on the midfielder's leading role, combining the side and the middle, and cracking the pressing. γ
As soon as the words fell, Barzagli broke through Bayern's blockade in the rib area through a short pass in the face of Rossi's pressing, and passed to the feet of the retreating Bentancur.
Wing-back Douglas Costa cut forward quickly to receive a pass from a team-mate.
γBeautiful! γ
[Juventus broke through the high blockade through continuous patient passing, penetrated by a short pass from Barzagli. γ
[The ball goes to the right side, see how Juventus attack!] γ
Just after Costa received the ball at half-time, Bayern defender Vidal quickly approached.
Costa, who did not choose to rush strongly, returned the ball to the receiving defender Desiglio, and quickly stepped forward to press the Bayern full-back.
Alaba, fearful of his former teammate's speed, didn't get up for it, which gave Desiglio a chance to fully observe the defense.
Bang!
Desiglio played a long ball and sent it straight to the middle of the final third of the field.
Higuain, the small smoking gun, first resisted Boateng's physical confrontation and then stopped the ball steadily.
From a full-back on his debut at River Plate to a centre-forward at Real Madrid, Higuain has developed into a prolific goalscorer.
Known for his speed and skillful foot skills, he has also created a good ability to carry the ball with his back in the tightly defended Serie A.
Just as Higuain drew the ball to the defense, Dybala, who was in ambush behind him, suddenly stepped forward.
[Higuain has been passed on! γ
[Dybala is empty!] γ
[Hummels is making up the defense! γ
[Dybala buckle! γ
[Buckle again!] γ
γShoot!γ γ
Ulreich, who came in place of the injured Manuel Neuer, fell quickly to the ground with his arms outstretched, blocking his opponent's shots.
After the ball went around his fingertips, it ran to the far corner, stuck to the post, and rolled out of the baseline!
Dybala, who missed the goal, covered the bottom half of his face with his hands and regret in his eyes.
He was almost able to cover his mouth with one hand, extend his thumb and forefinger, and make his signature celebratory gesture.
There have been repeated threats in front of goal, and Bayern, who are playing at home, will not rest.
James pulls back and manages to get the ball out of the backfield.
But Juve's defense is also basically in place.
The first line of defense built by Khedira and Bentancur is a good form of protection in depth.
Barzagli was at the back of the pitch and looked at the whole game.
Chiellini was up front and ready to steal.
Bayern's attack, in front of Juve's defense, was helpless.
And once the timing of the attack is delayed, Juve's two full-backs will slowly fill in the midfield defense to further widen the defensive width.
This is the Italian chain defense.
When the defensive area is pressed, the surrounding players will naturally converge towards the source of the pressure, forming a siege trend.
What Bayern can do is pass the ball patiently and constantly mobilize the defense.
It's a battle of willpower.
Players on both sides will have to maintain a high level of concentration and tenacious stamina.
Because once you are distracted, you may be caught by your opponent in this fleeting opportunity to complete the fatal blow.
In the 15th minute, Rossi retreated from the ribs and drew Barzagli's defense out.
At the same time, Lewandowski's pressure in the middle made Chiellini unable to move in the high position.
Alaba also moved up to the top of his position, ready to receive the ball behind his teammates.
At this time, after Hames shook off Bentancur's close press in the midfield, he pulled out a little passing space and glanced at Rossi who was cutting forward.
Knowing this, he grabbed the ball behind the Juventus defence before Khedira made up for it.
Rossi seized the moment and plunged into the area behind Barzagli.
Because Chiellini was trapped in a high position by Lewandowski, it was difficult to make up for the gaps behind his teammates in time.
Rosie, form a single knife!
In the face of Buffon's attack, Rossi adjusted his balance and wanted to push a half-high ball with his right foot to bypass Buffon's block.
But Buffon's body movements are not at all like the body of a 40-year-old.
At the moment when Rossi got to his feet, he quickly squatted down and opened his hands and feet to expand the defensive range.
γShoot!γ γ
[Ahh γ
[Buffon, block Rossi's single knife! ] γ
[Youngster Buffon, not only did he grasp the timing of the attack perfectly! ] γ
[And the timing and action of his blocking are also the most perfect time that many goalkeepers can hardly grasp! ] γ
[Rossi's shot is calm enough! γ
[But he is facing Buffon!] γ
[There can be many door gods!] γ
[Buffon has only one!] γ
[Juve's defense line is not old at all! γ
[They are the most trustworthy old boys!] γ
