Chapter 358: Tough Battle
Solid defence, tough midfield, sharp forward, this is Juventus' weapon to dominate Serie A.
Although in terms of the total value and age of the players, they are far inferior to Bayern.
But football is not a simple addition and subtraction.
After Bayern's corner kick was cleared out of the box by Giorgio Chiellini, Juve began their slow pass forward again.
Bayern, who have learned their lesson, have adopted the method of blocking the passing line for the back midfielders who retreat to receive the ball.
After all, a big pressure will lead to an emptiness in the defensive line.
Once the opponent penetrates the midfield, Higuain and Dybala on the front line have the ability to attack the goal.
Juventus attack.
Higuain retreated to the centre circle to pick up the ball and quickly advanced to the wing.
At the same time, the promotion of full-backs and full-backs allowed Juve to quickly establish a numerical advantage on the wings.
Martinez stepped forward quickly to press, and Kimmich dragged back to keep an eye on Asamoah, who could get forward at any moment.
But Juve's real breaking point on the flanks was full-back Alex Sandro.
The Brazilian defender's advance allowed Juventus to build up a numerical advantage on the flanks and turned it into a sharp bayonet that pierced Bayern's right flank.
Bayern, whose flanks were opened, retracted the overall defensive line to ensure that there were enough interceptions in front of the goal.
Kimmich fought back and pressed his opponent.
Under the premise of having an advantage in height and weight, even if his speed and agility were not as good as his opponent's, Sandro still relied on his physical condition and foot skills to force it in from near the baseline.
Kimmich is also not a vegetarian.
Although slightly inferior in physical confrontation, he jammed his opponent's line to break up, forcing Sandro to stay on the line.
As the attacking space continued to shrink, Sandro had no choice but to pass the ball in front of goal.
Boateng appeared on his pass path and leaped high to head the ball out of the box.
But the second penalty was controlled by a Juventus player.
Douglas Costa was on the right side of the penalty area, chested the ball and accelerated, slotting through the gap between the centre-back and the wing-back.
Hummels and Alaba's immediate closure of the ball.
The ball passed, but the Costa man stayed behind.
Drip!
Defensive fouls, set-pieces up front.
In the Allianz Arena, there was a burst of boos.
Fans believe that Costa is losing full control of the ball, which should not be a foul, but a fake fall.
Bayern players also stepped forward to protest, but could not change the referee's decision.
It was a set-piece around 24 metres from the goal and was perfect for a left-footed player.
Dybala stood in front of the wall and watched Bayern line up the wall in full swing.
As an Argentine international, Messi is a substitute, he has excellent foot skills, extremely fast, short-distance runs and outflanking and grabbing points are first-class, and he is the absolute driving force of Juve's attack in front.
After the referee's whistle, Dybala curled a left-footed shot over Martinez's head and into the corner.
Ulreich leaped and pounced on the ball with a backhand, but it was just a fraction of a second.
Desperate thoughts arise from the heart.
While!
A crisp voice made Ulreich thank God in his heart.
The ball slammed into the top edge of the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.
Ulreich, who had escaped, slowly stood up from the ground, pressed his hands down, and signaled his teammates to calm down, everything was under his control.
It is his goalkeeper who needs to be calm the most.
Juve didn't attack much, but every time they were extremely threatening.
Bayern attack.
A three-man attacking midfield group of Thiago, Vidal and James was hampered in front of Juve's chained defence.
The opponent can always surround and block the ball carrier at the first time.
Bayern, who returned in vain, could only patiently look for opportunities by constantly passing the ball back and forth.
In response to Rossi's forward insertion, Juve also made defensive adjustments.
Put the edge in the middle.
The full-backs would rather let go of the wings than fill in the space behind the centre-backs.
In Allegri's view, no defensive tactic in the world is airtight.
The best defense is to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
Once Bayern's attack came to the wing, Desiglio followed closely, and Barzagli pushed out of the penalty area, forming a small encirclement.
The vacancy at centre-back was filled by midfielder Bentancur.
He and Giorgio Chiellini have an advantage in their high defence and can intercept Bayern crosses.
In desperation, Alaba returned the ball from the bottom line, and Rossi took the ball on the left side of the small penalty area, and was immediately pressed by the opponent.
The more dangerous the area, the tighter the defence and the less time is left for the player to react and handle the ball.
Rossi made his first feint and couldn't get rid of Barzagli's defense, so he could only immediately transfer and pass outside the penalty area.
Vidal, who was inserted in the back, was full of strength and raised his foot to shoot.
Disturbed by Khedira's downfall, he flew to the second floor of the Allianz Arena.
Long-range shooting is the most helpless choice made by Bayern under the opponent's tight defense.
In the following ten minutes of the game, the two teams attacked each other, but they both defended each other tightly, and the danger was resolved again and again.
[The competition is very stale! γ
[Both players know each other's strengths and weaknesses. γ
[Aiming at the weakness, playing with each other. γ
[What a tough battle! γ
After 30 minutes, both managers began to make adjustments.
The starting point of Juve's attack is done by the central defenders.
They first placed the full-backs and full-backs near the touchline, pulling Bayern's defense to the side as much as possible.
Higuain, in the middle, can take the ball more easily.
And as the Bayern defense was widened, it was just right for Dybala to break into the gap between the two defenders.
Ancelotti's response was to press forward and interfere with the central defenders' ball.
Offensively, shift the focus from the left to the right.
Use James' ability to attack from the flanks and create chaos before shooting or crossing.
However, Juve's central defenders have strong one-on-one defensive ability, and James is not very effective on this side.
The game entered the 40th minute, and the two sides were still inseparable.
With the decline in fitness and concentration, in the last minutes of the first half, it is very likely that you will concede a goal due to carelessness.
At this time, the two captains on the field raised their voices to remind their teammates and improve their attention.
Buffon has a very big influence in Serie A and even in Europe as a whole.
As a goalkeeper, at the end of the defensive line, he can clearly see any possible holes.
Bayern's captain's armband is worn on the left arm of Alaba, the oldest man on the field.
Although he doesn't have Buffon's influence in world football, he is still able to do his job.
Bayern's offensive continued to press down on Juve's defence.
Vidal suddenly slipped the ball into Thiago on the right side of the penalty area, and the Juventus defence immediately lunged at him.
Thiago, who met the ball, knocked directly on his right foot without stopping the ball and distributed it to James on the wing.
Juve's defense also quickly covered the right side.
With no chance to break through, James brought the ball back, drew the defence over and passed it to Kimmich, who was cut in behind.
In the face of Juve's defense, he did not hesitate for a moment and swept the ball directly in front of the goal.
Khedira fell to the ground in the box and was not fully cleared.
After breaking the line, the ball flew to the left side of the penalty area, in front of Rossi, who was in the unguarded area.
Juventus' defence, surprised.
Desiglio pounced like crazy, vowing to use his body to block Rossi's shot.
Although unguarded, Juve's box is full of people and the angle from which they can shoot is very small.
But Rossi still found a space to shoot at the moment of adjusting his balance.
Bang!
Rossi slammed his foot into the ball and made a low arc into the far corner.
Buffon was very focused, took a step sideways and pounced on the bottom left corner of the goal.
After the ball had bypassed the obstacles, it suddenly fell and bounced off the front of the goal line.
The slightest change in the path of the ball is not noticeable to the players on the field.
But for a goalkeeper, even a centimeter change in the path of the ball can be very fatal.
Youngster Gianluigi Buffon once again showed his super-fast reflexes.
His palms changed from left to left.
It is also a subtle change that allows the palm of the hand to have a larger area of contact with the ball, thus changing the trajectory of the ball.
The ball flew straight up from Buffon's palm and did not fly towards the net.
Barzagli, who arrived in time, cleared the ball with a big kick and the ball flew off the touchline.
Ooh!
Buffon's extreme rescue in front of the goal disappointed the fans who were about to cheer and celebrate, and they hugged their heads and exclaimed in the sky.
[Beautiful, pretty, pretty! ] γ
γBeautiful shot!γ γ
[Beautiful save! ] γ
[Beautiful offense and defense! ] γ
[Despite not scoring goals, it is undeniable that both teams have shown a very high level of competition! γ
[Whether it is tactical stability, player skills and experience, or game mentality, they are all equal! γ
[Enjoyable, enjoyable! γ
[This ball is not conservative at all! ] γ
[Even in the studio, my blood is boiling! ] γ
