1017 He Wants to Leave Real Madrid!
On the evening of April 9th, at the Alpi Stadium in Turin, Italy.
In the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid challenged Juventus away.
The game was indeed as Gao Shen predicted before the game, and Juventus launched a rush attack from the very beginning.
A zero-to-three away loss is very bad for Juventus, and the only hope is the opening attack at home.
Try to grab a goal from Real Madrid from the very beginning, suppress Real Madrid's momentum, and disrupt Real Madrid's rhythm, so that they have a chance to reverse the situation, shorten the gap, and even tie the score.
If you can't suppress Real Madrid from the beginning, the process of the game will be very difficult for Juventus.
In line with the team's tactical needs, Conte also adjusted the starting lineup.
Asamoah and Vucinic started at the same time, partnering with Quagliarella, forming Juventus' frontcourt attack combination.
Judging by the players' positions, it is still three-five-two, but the offensive power in the frontcourt is stronger.
Conte has no choice, he must fight with his back.
Even after the kick-off, Quagliarella and Vucinic did not pass the ball back, but the two directly dribbled the ball into the hinterland of Real Madrid, trying to attack Real Madrid directly.
But Modric successfully got stuck and broke the ball.
After stealing the ball, Real Madrid passed quickly with one kick, avoiding Juventus' pressing and pressing in the midfield.
This is also the targeted tactics deployed by Gao Shen before the game.
He knew that Juventus was going to grab, so he asked the players to withdraw the formation after the start of the game, and let Juventus press out through the possession of the ball in the midfield, and Real Madrid waited for an opportunity to play behind Juventus.
Conte is not ignorant of the profound intentions.
This is not a conspiracy, but an aboveboard conspiracy.
Italians have no choice!
The 0-3 defeat in the first round made him have to score as soon as possible, even two goals.
Football is like that.
Just give Juventus a goal,
The Bianconeri tasted the sweetness, and it was possible to score a second goal soon.
After pulling back two goals, the situation is completely reversed, and by that time, Real Madrid will be in a very bad situation.
But as long as Real Madrid can withstand Juventus' attack and score another goal, Juventus' morale will be hit hard, and it may even be vented.
Gao Shen also knew this clearly, so Real Madrid quickly launched a counterattack after falling continuously.
Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball to the front of Juventus' penalty area and was almost able to form a shot.
Barzagli successfully intercepted the ball, but Real Madrid immediately organized an on-the-spot counter-grab, directly pressing the Bianconeri's three defenders near the Juventus penalty area, and Modric also stepped forward to limit Pirlo.
This set of play has already been used in the first round of the two sides, and the effect is very good, but this time Conte was already prepared.
The ball was passed to the left, handed over to Asamoah, and quickly advanced to the hinterland of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid retreated quickly and organized a defense.
Today, Real Madrid's central defender is Varane and Ramos, neither of them gave Juventus' Quagliarella and Vucinic a chance, and successfully blocked Juventus's attack.
But Juventus still persisted and continued to organize another attack on Real Madrid.
Isla on the right went forward and dribbled the ball along the right side to the right side of Real Madrid's penalty area. He tried to pass into the penalty area, but was blocked by Marcelo and the ball fell near the penalty area.
Ramos took the lead and kicked the ball to Ronaldo in front.
The Portuguese dribbled the ball laterally from the left near the 30-meter zone of Real Madrid, avoided two Juventus defenders, appeared on the right side at the bottom of the center circle, and sent it directly when Di Maria was in place. One foot behind the ball.
The Argentine sprinted forward at the fastest speed, striding forward, passed Ronaldo's pass to Juventus's half, strode to catch up, and dribbled the ball straight to Juventus' penalty area.
When Di Maria rushed into the 30-meter zone of Juventus, Chiellini rushed over immediately, but Di Maria reacted faster, sent a diagonal pass with his left foot, and sent the ball to the goal Behind the dragging Bonucci.
Benzema quickly rushed behind Bonucci, before the Juventus central defender, facing the old goalkeeper Buffon who attacked near the penalty area line, the French center directly lobbed a shot.
The football fell to the empty Juventus goal behind Buffon at a very fast speed.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
Amidst the screams of the Juventus fans, Benzema turned around and rushed to the sidelines without slowing down, cheering excitedly.
What a crucial goal this is!
The French center was on the sidelines, waving his fists at the live camera.
"Only 2 minutes and 11 seconds into the game, Real Madrid scored the first goal of the game and broke through Juventus' goal!"
"The Bianconeri's attack after the opening failed to work. Instead, a quick counterattack by Real Madrid pierced through their own defense."
"It's still a midfield interception."
"C Ronaldo's lateral dribbling is crucial, attracting defensive attention and creating opportunities for his teammates."
"I have to admit that Real Madrid's counterattack is really fast, and the players' personal abilities are really strong!"
"Often two players can penetrate the opponent's defense through effective cooperation."
...
After scoring the first goal, Juventus did not die down, but continued to attack Real Madrid.
In fact, at this time, whether it is out of dignity or to take care of the emotions of the home fans, it is impossible for Juventus to give up the game.
They will only fight harder and more fiercely.
It may even completely let go of the psychological burden and directly fight with Real Madrid.
But precisely because of this, the tactics formulated by Gao Shen can produce better results.
For example, in the fifth minute, Real Madrid encountered an interception on the center line and passed back to the central defender.
Juventus once again launched a frontcourt press, and the two forwards went straight to Real Madrid's central defender.
After Harvey Alonso retreated to catch the ball, he made a long pass directly to the right side of the frontcourt.
Di Maria quickly advanced to the right side of the penalty area, and after receiving the ball, passed it back to Carvajal who came up from the back row.
Real Madrid's right back stopped and directly crossed the penalty area to look for Benzema and Ronaldo, but the ball was pushed out by Barzagli.
Benzema signaled Barzagli handball foul, but the referee did not whistle.
Just two minutes later, Real Madrid were still attacking.
Di Maria on the right suddenly stopped and spiked the ball, and passed the penalty area diagonally with his left foot, but was cleared by Chiellini's header and pushed out of the penalty area.
The ball did not fly far, and Harvey Alonso directly picked a pass and gave it to the right.
Carvajal advanced with the ball and passed it straight to Di Maria who returned to the offside position.
The Argentine winger dribbles the ball inwards and draws the attention of two defenders before suddenly passing it straight to the right side of the penalty area.
Modric inserted into the right side of the penalty area and crossed to the goal. Ronaldo beat Benzema and sent the ball into Juventus' goal.
The ball was so close that Buffon didn't even have time to react.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Two to zero!"
"In less than ten minutes, Real Madrid scored two goals in a row!"
"This match is over!"
"Juventus' opening attack not only failed to produce results, but Real Madrid took the opportunity and beat them up."
"The strength gap between the two sides is very obvious. Even at the tactical level, Conte also ended in a complete defeat in front of Gao Shen."
"This is the strength of the world's top coaches!"
"Conte is older than Gao Shen, but in terms of coaching experience and ability, he is not as good as Gao Shen."
"Tonight, Juventus' tactics did not go beyond deep expectations, and Real Madrid also organized very threatening countermeasures against Juventus' tactics."
...
After Real Madrid scored two goals in a row, the game has completely lost its suspense.
With an aggregate score of 5-0 and two away goals, Juventus had to score six goals.
This is basically an impossible task.
As a result, on the court, Juventus players began to split and their thinking was not unified.
Some people still want to attack, but some have given up, and some are not particularly focused on playing.
This led to a very weird situation on the court.
Real Madrid actually didn't try their best.
This involves another problem, that is, when the team has already secured the victory, it is actually impossible to continue to chase the home team fiercely, because the gain is not great, but it may pay a price.
For example, irritating the opponent's players, further causing conflicts, and even causing physical conflicts among players.
Therefore, Real Madrid is actually enough, slowing down the pace of the game, and focusing more on steady defense.
Juventus is constantly adjusting and continuing to try to launch an offense.
But after conceding two goals in a row, the vigor has been lost, and it is basically difficult to threaten the solidly defended Real Madrid goal.
Gao Shen is still standing on the sidelines, but he doesn’t adjust the team much anymore, and let the players organize the defense spontaneously. Once Juventus’s offense takes the lead, Real Madrid will create some pressure on Juventus by counterattacking. Let them restrain themselves a little.
It's like warning again and again.
The first half ended with Real Madrid leading by two goals.
After the start of the second half, Juventus once wanted to counterattack, but Real Madrid quickly counterattacked into Juventus' penalty area three times in a row. Strength, don't want to kill them all.
This is to save some face for Juventus at home.
The Bianconeri's skills are not as good as others, and they can only admit defeat in the end.
After 60 minutes, Gao Shen saw that the overall situation was settled, so he started to make substitutions.
Morata replaced Benzema, and Jesse also replaced Ronaldo.
And at this time, everyone noticed that it was not Argentine striker Higuain who sat on the Real Madrid bench tonight.
This is also the decision Gao Shen made before leaving for Turin.
Because just after Real Madrid beat Levante at home, Higuain, who performed well, found Gao Shen and expressed his heart to Gao Shen himself.
He also wants to leave Real Madrid this summer.
Originally, Higuain still had high hopes on whether he could get the main position, but judging from Gao Shen's reuse of Benzema and the performance of the team since this season, he knows very well that it is difficult for him to shake Benzema. Horse's starting position now.
In this case, he is naturally unwilling to stay in Real Madrid and wait for opportunities.
Perhaps, in Real Madrid, he can get more championships, but he still hopes to accept more challenges.
Gao Shen didn't agree to him on the spot.
Because this matter is very troublesome.
