Chapter 343 Lazio's Cross Pass

Del Neri can be regarded as fighting for survival, but he is not fighting for the survival of the team, but for his own right to survive. m

Chang Sheng was nicknamed the "Fellow Killer" because many of the head coaches he played against were dismissed.

All because of the loss to his team.

In fact, it’s not that Chang Sheng has more control over his peers, but because his peers are in a more dangerous period when they compete with him. As long as they lose to Chang Sheng, the situation will completely collapse, so they lose to Chang Sheng. After winning a lot, they often lose their position.

This is the case now in Del Neri.

He led Juventus to a high and low performance, and now he is under a lot of pressure.

Meeting Chang Sheng again would be like adding salt to the wound.

But he also has a chance to save his fate.

Now everyone knows how good the winning Lazio is. So if Delneri's Juventus can draw with Lazio, it will make his coaching position more stable.

After all, there is no team that can draw with Lazio now. If Del Neri's Juventus can do it, it will be very difficult.

This alone can make his life much easier.

Although the prospect is very attractive, this kind of thing is easier said than done.

Del Neri's Juventus is not the first team to try to draw with Lazio. Before them, everyone thought of many ways, but why, no team succeeded?

Does Del Neri have any secrets?

Absolutely not.

The only thing Delneri can rely on now is Juventus's defensive tradition.

Juventus is a very good defensive team and very stable.

It's just that in recent years, Juventus' stability has disappeared. The defensive gene is also missing - of course, Chiellini and Bonucci, who were supposed to belong to Juventus, are now poached to Lazio by Victory.

Juventus currently has no reliable defender at all.

Now the most trustworthy among them,

The most stable player is Lichtsteiner, who was hired from Lazio.

But the Swiss international is a full-back. Instead of a centre-back.

You can't rely on a full-back to defend, right?

So now, in fact, Juventus mainly relies on Buffon.

But Buffon is also old.

His condition is unstable and he is also susceptible to injuries.

This is one reason why Juventus' performance has been ups and downs in recent years, a technical reason.

Because the defensive ability has declined. The team always concedes goals and always loses, so naturally this result is not much better.

Since the defense is so bad, how can Juventus draw with Lazio at home?

※ ※ ※

The method given by Delneri is to completely give up the offense and retreat to the penalty area.

I hope to rely on the local numerical advantage to ensure the team's defense.

Since there is no hope in terms of individual quality, it is better to work on quantity.

As long as we have enough defensive personnel in local areas, we can guarantee not to concede the ball.

No matter how strong Lazio is, it is still at the level of global football. No matter how the level of Juventus books drops. They are also better than many teams.

Think about it this way. You feel that maybe Juventus can really draw with Lazio, but that’s not necessarily true?

After the game started, Lazio did because of Juventus's defense. The attack encountered considerable resistance.

Throughout the first half, Lazio shot as many as eleven times. But failed to break Juventus' goal.

Buffon was also in good condition today and made several key saves to keep the goal.

Lazio, on the other hand, seemed a little impatient after being unable to attack for a long time.

Even on the road, Lazio players felt that they could easily defeat Juventus. Because Juventus' recent performance is really not good, many Lazio players do not regard Juventus as an opponent at all.

They feel that Juventus has gone downhill since the "Calciopoli" incident.

How can Juventus be compared with Lazio today?

As a result, they saw a tenacious Juventus in the first half.

During the halftime break, Chang Sheng told them with a solemn face that if they continued to play like this, after the game, they would all be assigned to him to report to the reserve team.

However, despite Chang Sheng's harsh words, he did not let the players find solutions on their own.

When Juventus shrunk their defense, Lazio's offense in the first half seemed impatient and simple. They didn't have the patience to organize a counterattack, but quickly reached the edge of Juventus's penalty area. Although they passed the ball casually, as long as they found that there was no chance, they would directly shoot a long shot, or a very reckless direct shot. Ball stuffing.

Such an attack is naturally no threat to Juventus.

Therefore, in the second half, Chang Sheng planned to slow down Lazio's offensive rhythm.

The team must be more patient, rather than just kicking the football away and the whole thing is done.

He asked the players to calm down and look for opportunities.

He believes that with Lazio's strength, as long as he is patient, he will be able to find flaws in Juventus' defense.

※ ※ ※

After the start of the second half, Juventus continued to hold on.

In the first half, they successfully defended Lazio's defense, which boosted their morale. During the halftime break, Del Neri also praised their performance.

They were full of anticipation for the second half of the game.

However, they soon felt the changes in their opponent Lazio.

When facing their defense, Lazio's offense was no longer as impatient as in the first half.

The opponent became more patient.

They could pass back and forth in front of their penalty area. If there was no good opportunity, they didn't mind passing the ball horizontally for more than a dozen times in a row.

They no longer pursued the number of shots, but the quality of the attack.

Such changes put pressure on Juventus players-it felt like they were defending against a big rock, and there were wolves all around, and the wolves were circling around them. Although there was no way to attack immediately, they were under pressure from beginning to end. They dared not relax their vigilance because they didn't know when the wolves would rush in.

This mental pressure is far more terrible than the pressure of the physical mountain.

Physically tired. You can also rest and take a breath.

But the spirit cannot get a rest.

※ ※ ※

When Lazio slowed down the pace, their attack became more threatening. With fewer attacks, the quality went up.

They pursued success rate.

And every time they defended, Juventus needed to pay more experience, otherwise a slight negligence might lead to serious consequences.

This was not like the first half, when Lazio had many shots, but the quality was low. There were many attacks, and Juventus didn't even need to defend. Lazio wasted this offensive opportunity.

It's not that Lazio shot less. The pace was slower. Juventus' goal was safer.

It's not like that.

Now Juventus needs to use more energy to complete a defense. How long can such a high-intensity defense last?

※ ※ ※

In the 71st minute, Lazio passed the ball back and forth horizontally in front of Juventus' penalty area.

Although it is said to be a horizontal pass. But Lazio's horizontal pass is somewhat different from that of other teams.

Many teams' horizontal passes are directly passed horizontally, from the left to the middle. The middle passes to the right, and then passes back from the right.

However, Lazio's lateral passes are constantly triangular passes in front of the opponent's penalty area.

For example, if Gotze gets the ball and wants to pass it horizontally, he will first pass it to Klose who is waiting in the ribs. This is a forward pass, not a horizontal pass. If there is an opportunity in the ribs, Klose will turn around and go inside.

At this point, it is not a horizontal pass.

But the opponent's defense will not be so weak, they can't let Lazio pass through with one pass.

So they will definitely stick to Klose here, so that Klose can't turn around.

So Klose will pass the ball to Modric, the midfielder who comes to the middle to receive the ball. After Modric gets the ball, he will not pass it immediately. He will observe the situation.

If there is a good opportunity, just pass it directly, such as Klose who can turn around and run to get into the gap before.

Of course, most of the time there is no such good opportunity.

So Modric will continue to pass the ball.

Just keep passing forward, passing back, passing forward, passing back, and constantly transferring, completing the transfer from the wing to the middle, and from the middle to the wing.

In this process, Lazio will constantly look for opportunities to hit the ball into the opponent's penalty area.

As long as there is one time, there is a great possibility of scoring a goal.

This is Lazio's horizontal transfer.

This transfer makes it difficult for their opponents to defend, and it is almost impossible to defend.

Because your nerves will always be in a very tense state.

This time, they are also constantly looking for opportunities in the horizontal pass.

When David Silva received the ball, he found a gap.

This gap was caused by Juventus's mistakes in the process of constantly shifting the center of gravity of defense.

And Juventus has not realized it yet.

That is, there is a not very obvious gap between their right center back and right back.

And David Silva saw it.

He thought it was a good opportunity.

Hit the ball over and you can form a penetration.

Of course, if you pass the ball directly on the ground, there is still a great possibility that it will be interrupted by the opponent.

So he chose to lob it!

The ball flew over the Juventus defense!

The gap was found, but if David Silva was the only one who found it, it would be meaningless!

So the next thing to see is who received the pass from David Silva...

It was...

"Klose--!"

With the commentator's shout.

The German veteran ran diagonally and appeared at the landing point of the ball!

When the Juventus fans at the Alpi Stadium saw this center forward who scored seven goals in the match against Roma running towards the landing point of the ball, their hearts stopped beating!
