Chapter 398: You Dare Not Give Your Best in the Match Against Lazio? (Seventy-Nine/One Hundred Thirty-Four)
In the first twenty-five minutes of the first half, Juventus looked evenly matched with Lazio, and they even had a chance to take the lead. M
However, the center back partnership of Jose Passarella and Chiellini, coupled with the outstanding performance of Handanovic, ensured that Lazio did not miss the goal.
But if this situation continues, no one knows what this game will turn into.
And the most important thing is that Juventus' players look full of energy and don't look like they will run out of energy in the second half.
Moreover, there were media reports before the game that Juventus was paying close attention to physical training. Their physical fitness was already good, and before this game, Delneri made another rotation.
Let most of the main players get a rest so that they can play in the best condition against Lazio in this game.
In the first half, Juventus did not completely suppress Lazio. It can be seen that they have some remaining strength, so the two sides are attacking and defending each other.
Juventus fans don't have to worry that their team will be like Milan, which dominated the first half, even took the lead, and then was blown away by Lazio in the second half.
They believed that their team should be able to tangle with Lazio in the second half. Even if they did not have an advantage on the scene, they should still be able to tangle with Lazio.
Lazio fans are worried whether Lazio will be successfully attacked by Juventus...
After all, they were terrified after watching the previous games.
The commentators also have such doubts, and public opinion hopes that Juventus will win.
Because Lazio's one-sided game was so boring.
It is always easy for everyone to sympathize with the weak, so they support Juventus.
It's a bit funny to say that Juventus are weak. But it depends on who you compare with.
Compared with Lazio, Juventus is indeed an out-and-out weakling...
The television broadcast gave Chang Sheng a close-up shot of him standing on the sidelines. His face was calm, making people wonder what he was thinking.
However, the commentators can still put many hats on Chang Sheng.
“…always standing on the sidelines,
The expression is solemn! Maybe he also felt the difficulty of this game! "
"He often looked nervously at the court from the sidelines. The team was unable to open up the situation, and he could no longer sit down on the coach's bench..."
"Juventus makes Lazio feel troublesome, and Chang is thinking hard about countermeasures. But has he thought of anything? I don't know..."
These are all understood by the commentators themselves.
If Chang Sheng knew what these commentators said about him, he would definitely laugh and cry.
In fact, there is no point in Chang Sheng standing on the sidelines. He is just changing his posture after sitting for a long time.
Chang Sheng just stood on the sidelines, observing his own performance and that of his opponent.
He could tell. Juventus was conserving their strength, and they may also be worried about their physical strength in the second half, which led to them not seizing the opportunity in the first half even if they had a chance.
If Juventus thinks they can continue to struggle with Lazio in the second half, then they should tell them so. How dangerous it is to think about having room to spare when facing Lazio...
Now Lazio's tactics are correct. The reason why they failed to score is because they made too many mistakes. But Chang Sheng is not worried about this problem.
Although there were many mistakes, Lazio still had offensive opportunities that could threaten Juventus' goal, but they just failed to seize them.
So maybe I can catch it next time?
Anyway, there is nothing to adjust for the victory now.
※ ※ ※
There are many reasons for the goal. It may be a precise tactical arrangement that suppresses the opponent. So the goal was scored.
It may also be a player's personal flash, a flash of inspiration, and he scores another goal.
Or it could just be sheer luck and an accidental hit. No one expected that he would score a goal.
Therefore, during the game, players must try to stay focused at all times during the ninety minutes, because you don't know when the opponent will score a goal in one attack. You have no way of knowing whether the attack now threatening your goal will eventually lead to a goal...
As long as you are even the slightest bit lax, it may bring about terrible consequences!
Now. Lazio was attacking, and Juventus launched a fierce press against Lazio players in their own half.
Of course, this is the norm in the first half, and Juventus will definitely compete fiercely in their own half.
After entering Juventus' half, Lazio will also speed up the passing speed.
Just like they do now.
Hernanes passed the ball to fullback Coentrao who was running in wide.
Coentrao did not continue to dribble, but passed it to the feet of Ledesma who had pulled up to his ribs to receive him.
Ledesma didn't stop the ball and passed the ball quickly. Just as he passed the ball, Juventus' Marchisio hit him from behind.
If he had been half a second sooner or later, he might not have been able to control the ball.
Now, football is back at Hernanes' feet.
There is no direct pass from the Brazilian midfielder.
Although everyone thought he was going to continue to hit the ball.
But what is surprising is that he did not do this, and not only that, he made a fake move to catch the football.
Cissoko, another Juventus defender, was fooled. Sissoko mistakenly thought he was going to catch the ball, so he ran towards Hernanes' position. Unexpectedly, when the ball came, the Brazilian used the outside of his right foot to gently push the ball to the side, and then the ball passed by Sissoko's outstretched leg.
At the same time, Hernanes jumped up very flexibly and just avoided Sissoko's collision.
He gently pushed Sissoko with both hands and jumped away with the force.
After landing, he burst out instantly and caught up with the ball!
Juventus had never expected that Lazio, who had always been passing, passing, and passing, would suddenly change their style and play personal heroism!
Facing Hernanes' breakthrough, they were stunned at first.
Then when they came to their senses, their reaction was very extreme.
Almost at the same time, three Juventus players rushed up from three different directions, trying to steal the ball from Hernanes' feet.
But just when they were halfway through the run. They just realized that the three of them had come up to defend Hernanes at the same time, so what about the other Lazio players? Aren't they just in an unguarded environment?
Hernanes obviously thought the same thing as them.
At this moment, he passed the ball.
The football passed through the three Juventus players who had not had time to close!
In the end, the ball fell to Mario Gotze's feet.
In order to make up for this mistake, Grosso, who was originally a full-back, had to go to the ribs to make up for it, so that the space behind him was completely opened up!
Mario Gotze naturally saw a little bit, so he quickly passed the ball to the side.
Right-back Faraoni rushed in at high speed, received Gotze's pass, and entered the penalty area!
There was only Buffon in front of him!
Juventus's central defender Barzagli naturally did not allow Faraoni to see Buffon so easily. So he gave up the middle and defended to the side.
At this time, he had no time to think about it. If he went to the wing, who would come to the middle?
Because of Hernanes' breakthrough, Juventus defenders were forced to make up for each other. In the end, it became like this. Their originally airtight defense line... has now begun to collapse in sections!
※ ※ ※
"Danger! Lazio has a great opportunity!!"
"Faraoni entered the penalty area, and there was no one defending him!"
Amid the commentator's exclamation, Faraoni swung his foot to make a shooting motion, and Barzagli rushed over and blocked Faraoni's shot with a sliding tackle.
But when Faraoni's foot landed, it was not a shot. He swept the ball horizontally to the front of the goal!
At this time, the camera followed the ball to the front of the goal, and all TV viewers saw Rocky ran to the front of the goal, and lightly knocked his ankle horizontally, and the ball passed by Faraoni flew into the goal lightly!
Lazio led by one goal!
"Rocchi--!! The ball is in! The ball is in! Lazio is ahead! In the 32nd minute, Lazio finally took the lead at home!"
"Lazio finally broke the deadlock! Juventus' airtight defense had problems in this defense and made a big mistake!"
The commentators' tone was very disappointed and regretful.
Of course they would do this, because they still hoped that Juventus could break the pattern of Lazio's dominance... Now it seems that Lazio still won.
Although the first half has only started for 32 minutes. But what this goal means to both Lazio and Juventus is very obvious and undisputed.
Lazio will boost morale through this goal. Completely drag the game into their rhythm.
And what about Juventus?
Look at the reactions of Juventus players and coaches now, and you will know.
When Rocchi knocked the ball into the goal, the Juventus player closest to him was Grigora who was chasing after him. Although he tried to chase back, when Rocchi scored, he was still two or three meters away from Rocchi, and it was too late to stop the old captain of Lazio.
He witnessed the whole process of Rocchi's goal, and then he raised his hands and held his head, very disappointed.
Grygera is a microcosm of Juventus players.
Most of the other Juventus players are also like this, either holding their heads with both hands or with dull eyes.
In the Juventus coaching bench, the head coach Del Neri standing on the sidelines swung a punch hard, annoyed!
All his plans are based on not losing the ball first.
Now that the ball is lost, how can this game be played?
Continue to defend?
Even if the ball is not lost after this, the team will lose the game with a score of 0:1.
For him, this is meaningless.
There is no difference between losing only one goal and losing ten goals.
Lazio still got three points and maintained a winning streak in the league, while Juventus still did not beat Lazio...
Everything will come to the starting point, so why did he and the team work so hard?
Does it highlight Lazio's strength from the side?
