Chapter 1315, hard work, the glory of Huaguo football

In the round of 16 of the Champions League, the team that is considered to be the weakest team on paper is Celtic from the Soviet Super League.

And their opponent is none other than defending champions Juventus.

I thought it was a safe game, but Juventus played very hard.

Conte, who has just taken over as Juventus coach this season, has a very good record in Serie A, and now Juventus is eight points ahead of the Milan duo behind him, with a clear lead. In the Champions League group stage, it also appeared relatively smoothly.

Despite this, Juventus still has a lot of problems this season, and now Juventus is still in a period of alternation between the old and the new, Piero, Raul, Buffon and other players are old, their physical condition is getting worse, and their physical condition is also very problematic, and injuries are frequent.

In the first leg away to Celtic, Conte fielded a young striker duo of Robin van Persie, Yu Dabao and Dybala.

I thought it would be a one-sided game, but I didn't expect the two teams to play 3-3 in the end.

Van Persie and Dybala scored a goal each, and Andrea Pirlo also scored a direct free-kick, and there were no problems in attack.

But Conte's favorite back three system suffered a big loss in the face of English football.

Twice in a row by the opponent counter-attacked, and the opponent was scored by the opponent's corner kick in the last minute of the game, Juventus fans were very dissatisfied with this game.

After the game, many Juventus players were given extremely low scores by the media.

For example, Bonucci, who made many mistakes in the game, such as Diego, who was too sticky in the midfield, and Yu Dabao, who was inactive in this game.

Especially Yu Dabao, he was very well marked by the opponent on the front line, and there was no chance in the whole game, which made many fans quite dissatisfied with him.

Some media even publicly criticized Yu Dabao, saying that he was just a descendant of Yunsheng and was not worthy of Juventus's main identity at all.

Carrying huge pressure, Yu Dabao silently endured.

Until the second round.

This time, Conte made a line-up change, 3-4-3 lineup, 4-4-2, and focused on solid defense.

Piero and Robin van Persie are partners in the attack.

But unexpectedly, not long after the game started, Celtic took advantage of Juve's unstable foothold and scored a goal first, overtaking the total score to 4-3!

Juventus are in danger!

In the following time, Juve pressed all over the line, but never found the back of the net, and Celtic retreated all in the hope of holding on to a one-goal advantage away from home.

In the 75th minute of the second half, Conte made a substitution, replacing the less physical Piero and Robin van Persie with Dybala and Icardi, hoping that the two young Argentine strikers could make a difference.

But under the opponent's dense defense, the two still did not break through.

In the 85th minute of the game, Conte finally made up his mind and replaced Vidal with Yu Dabao.

The substitution was immediate, and not long after Yu Dabao came on the field, the team got a free kick in front.

Diego's ball caused chaos in the box!

Yu Dabao suddenly killed at the back point! Header to grab points!

The ball went in!!

Towards the end of the game, Juve finally opened their goal account!

1 to 1! Yu Dabao's equalizing goal was too crucial!

With this goal, Juventus made the aggregate score 4-4, and they had three away goals!

In the last five minutes, Juventus retreated across the board, leaving Yu Dabao alone in front.

In the end, neither team scored again, and Juventus advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League by virtue of the advantage of away goals!

After this game, all the Italian media praised Yu Dabao in unison!

"He's Juve's lucky star!"

"The greatest wealth that Yunsheng left to Juventus is this young talented Chinese striker!"

"Compared to Dybala and Icardi, Yu Dabao is the real successor of Piero!"

A month ago, Yu Dabao was scolded by the Italian media as a dog; A month later, Yu Dabao was lifted to the sky.

That's the cruelty and charm of professional football.

After this game, Yu Dabao, who had been at a disadvantage in the competition, finally rose rapidly in the hearts of the head coach and fans, surpassing the team's rivals Dybala and Icardi.

Piero and Raul also publicly praised him: "Yu Dabao is a very talented young man, and his future is limitless!" ”

Conte, who broke into the quarterfinals, was in a good mood, and he made a bold statement at this time: "Juve's goal this season is to defend the treble!" ”

Kong Er was stunned and full of confidence, looking forward to getting rid of the aura left by Yunsheng with excellent results.

This time, the Champions League quarter-finals have seen a number of strong conversations, such as Real Madrid vs. Manchester United, Barcelona vs. Milan.

And another strong dialogue, which also has top-level ratings.

Arsenal vs Bayern!

At this time, Bayern did not have the title of "King of London", and Arsenal's Champions League record in recent years has also been quite good.

In last season's Champions League, Arsenal reached the last four of the Champions League, but finally lost to Yunsheng's invincible Juventus.

In last season's Champions League match, Arsenal reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but were eliminated by Monaco, who were in full swing at the time.

And this season Arsenal made a comeback, aiming for the Champions League title!

But when Yunsheng saw Arsenal draw Bayern in the knockout round, he felt sorry for the professor.

In the parallel world of later generations, this season's Champions League champion is Bayern's, and now Bayern maintains a super dominance both at home and in Europe, and even teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus this season are not as strong as Bayern.

In particular, Bayern's midfield strength is simply too strong.

The Robben-Ribery combination on the left and right can be called the strongest attacking combination this season; Tonik Rose, Schweinsteiger and Javi Martinez are all in excellent form, and Bayern's midfield can be described as impeccable.

With the addition of Neuer, Lahm, Van Bitten and other defensive giants at the back, this Bayern team is simply perfect.

However, even if the opponents are strong, Arsenal are not far behind.

They have dominated the league this season, leading the Manchester City duo by as much as eight points, and Arsene Wenger has spoken firmly to the media!

"Arsenal, who are eight points ahead, don't make the same mistakes! This season's Premier League trophy belongs to the Gunners! ”

Arsene Wenger was referring to the fact that they were eight points ahead of Manchester United, but were eventually overtaken by Manchester United.

Arsenal have been in solid form this season and they are confident of winning the title!

In the Champions League, the professor is also looking forward to the team's breakthrough.

Even in the face of the mighty Bayern, Arsenal is still full of confidence!

Before the first leg, Arsenal captain Chen Tao faced the media with pride.

"Our Arsenal team is in great shape and morale, so no matter who the opponent is, we are absolutely sure that we will win them!"
