Chapter 1044, Old Acquaintance, Stranger
When Saviola's shot was subconsciously blocked by Buffon, the Stade Luis II sighed with regret and then burst into thunderous applause, which was dedicated to the Monaco players.
At this time, Buffon let out a sigh of relief, he looked at Metzelde, who was walking towards him apologetically, and complained: "Man, that ball shouldn't have let him go just now." ”
Metzelder said apologetically: "It was my fault for that ball just now, I'll pay attention to it next." When Saviola rushed over, I was a little distracted, and I vaguely thought he was my teammate......"
To be sure, it is understandable that Metzelder appeared as a delusion.
In the 0708 season, Real Madrid defeated its old rival Barcelona in the league and successfully topped the league championship. In that season, Metzelder was the team's main centre-back, Saviola also scored against Barcelona shortly after his move to Real Madrid, and Gudjohnsen was Barca's main striker.
When Gudjohnsen passed the ball just now, Metzelder still felt that Saviola was his teammate, so he was stunned for a moment and was passed by the opponent.
Also troubled by Juventus striker Robin van Persie.
Although it was a mistake by Metzeld, Van Persie lost the ball in front of the field, and he is also responsible for the situation of almost conceding the goal this time.
When Van Persie advanced with the ball, he saw Flamini and Ljungberg next to him, and he actually regarded the two as teammates in an instant, although it was only a few tenths of a second, but it was enough to kill Flamini, and the ball was broken by Flamini.
In the penalty area, the defender of him is none other than Arsenal's former teammate Senderos, who has now become a world-class central defender, restoring Arsenal's early top-level level, and not having a problem with Robin van Persie.
The match, while crucial in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, looked like a duel between old friends.
But the old acquaintance who I hadn't seen for a few years has now become a stranger.
Equally familiar and unfamiliar is the love-hate relationship between several Real Madrid and Barcelona teammates and opponents.
Ronaldo and Raul used to be their respective banners and are among the best players in La Liga, and now they wear Juventus uniforms and pass together.
Saviola, who has played for both Real Madrid and Barcelona, has been working with Barcelona veteran Gudjohnsen for several years in Monaco and has a very tacit understanding.
The offense of both sides went back and forth, and the whole first half was very exciting.
However, Juventus still have a slight edge on paper when it comes to the overall strength of both teams, especially their midfield, which far surpasses Monaco.
On the offensive line, Monaco's Gudjohnsen, Saviola and Sunko are really not comparable to Juventus.
Piero, Raul, Van Persie, and Ronaldo behind him, these four form a strong offensive line, far more than Monaco.
With the opening breath, Monaco pressed Juventus for more than ten minutes, and then it was Juve's turn.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Juventus played a very beautiful combination in front.
Piero sent a pinpoint low ball from near the baseline, with Van Persie faint to grab the spot, attracting much of the attention of the Monaco defence, and Raul at the back post easily slotting into the far corner.
1 to 0! Juve scored first!
Less than ten minutes later, in the 32nd minute of the game, Juve's attack paid off again.
This time it was Piero's shaking on the edge of the box that he suddenly played a high ball to Van Persie, who was marked by Sendros and had no hope of attacking the goal, opting for a header back to the right side of the box.
Xiao Luo, who followed up, volleyed, and the ball went into the net!
2 to 0! Juventus scored another goal!
Seeing that the team's attack group blossomed more, Yun Sheng nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines, as long as this game continues to be played like this, it is estimated that it should not be a big problem. With enough away goals, the home side is more secure.
Recalling the draw for the quarterfinals of the Champions League this time, Juve drew Monaco, and Yunsheng is still happy to see it.
Although Monaco defeated the mighty Bayern in an upset, the overall strength of his old club is the weakest among the eight teams, and he just fought hard with fighting spirit and morale. Compared with teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea, Yunsheng is still happy to draw Monaco.
Monaco continued to attack in the following period, but they couldn't find the back of the net. Monaco's defence is strong, and Juve's defence is world-class.
In the 41st minute of the game, Piero's long-range shot hit the post, and the stands were full of exclamations.
If this goal is scored again, the situation of falling behind by three goals is completely dangerous.
Yun Sheng nodded repeatedly on the sidelines, very satisfied with the team's performance today.
Before this match, Yun Sheng also played a spell.
Now Yun Sheng has 10 spells in his hand:
A-level [Offensive Bonus], A-level [Defensive Bonus], B-level [Happiness and Sorrow], and two B-level [Bian Que is alive].
C-level [Substitute Wonder], B-level [Immortal], A-level [Old Friends], A-level [Old People Meet], B-level [Fight to Fame].
The best ones to use in this game are still A-level [Offensive Bonus] and A-level [Defensive Bonus].
Weighing and considering, Yun Sheng played an A-level [Offensive Bonus], and another A-level [Defensive Bonus] was reserved for the next round of the game.
Today, it seems that Juve's attacking players are doing very well, and there is definitely the effect of the charm blessing.
The game entered injury time, and Yun Sheng estimated that the first half would almost end 2-0, but he did not expect a sudden change.
As the countdown began, Monaco were awarded a corner, when Flamini's pass found Gudjohnsen in front of him, and the Icelandic striker looked back at the moon and the ball slipped past Buffon's hands and into the far corner of the Juventus goal.
2 to 1! Monaco pulled a goal back! They see hope of winning again!
Yun Sheng on the sidelines was a little depressed, and the good situation of leading by two goals was destroyed by an ordinary corner kick tactic.
However, he also nodded admiringly, Makelele's set-piece tactics worked very well.
Since Yunsheng left the team, Wang Chuhe, Dong Fangzhuo, Diego Costa, Gervinho and other offensive players have gradually left the team, and players such as Kompany, Heinze, and Sun Jihai have also left in the backline.
Faced with this situation, Makelele adjusted his tactical play, and regarded set-piece tactics as an important attacking weapon for the team. They have broken the deadlock on a number of occasions this season with set-pieces, which have become Monaco's strongest attacking tool.
But for Monaco alone, that goal doesn't mean much, and their real trouble is yet to come......
