Chapter 61 The Last Chance

Everyone thought that Lazio would have a beautiful offensive. Lazio fans waited for the goal, while Juventus players tightened their strings, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack all the time.

But to their disappointment, when Livelani received the ball, he quickly passed the football back.

Of course, in order not to be too naked, he changed the target of the pass this time and passed the football to another starting central defender, Francisco Pavon. Another Spanish centre-back.

Francisco Pavon has made rapid progress after passing the psychological hurdle—this is natural, because some of the victors have used the skill [This is how geniuses are made] on Pavon, plus other The effects of his training skills are superimposed, and Pavon's progress is indeed rapid.

The outstanding performance on the court in turn enhanced Pavon's self-confidence. As his self-confidence grew, his performance on the court became more comfortable-it has formed a virtuous cycle.

Now Francisco Pavon has affirmed that his choice to come to Lazio is a very correct choice.

At the same time, he no longer doubted Chang Sheng's words.

Because Changsheng was to Pavon at the beginning, it was better for him to go to Lazio.

And indeed it is!

Compared with the Italian central defenders, the Spanish central defenders are lacking in defensive ability. There are more world-class central defenders in Italy. Baresi, Costacurta, Maldini, Nesta, Cardinal Navarro...these are world class. And Spain? Only Hierro and Nadal are world class.

But the Spanish central defender's foot skills and ability to play the ball are better than the Italian central defender. For example, Hierro is a central defender with strong attacking power. You can often see Hierro dribbling the ball and organizing offenses in games.

Changsheng's mad dog tactics require the passing ability of the Spanish central defender, which cannot be met by Italian defenders. So in Lazio, the starting lineup will be Jose Passarella and Pavon, a young pair. Especially Pavon, when he was asked to play the main force. This news caused a lot of ridicule in Spain.

Everyone joked that the ever-victorious Lazio didn't even have the money to buy a decent central defender, and could only eat leftovers that Real Madrid didn't want.

But what happened?

Fifteen league rounds have passed, and Pavon is the team's main central defender, performing well.

Now it's the turn of the media that supports Changsheng to laugh at Real Madrid-you use bad players under Changsheng's "Tianshichengjin" method,

Became Lazio's main central defender and performed well. If this trend continues, it will not be a problem for Pavon to be selected for the Spanish national team... So in the final analysis, it is not that there is a problem with Pavon's ability, but that Real Madrid can't use people well! it's good now. Chang Sheng, whom they hated the most, took advantage of it.

After Pavin got the ball, he was not in a hurry to pass the ball forward, but passed the football across to his central defender partner Jose Passarella.

After all, he has been with Chang Sheng for too short a time, and his face has not yet been cultivated, so he is a little thin. So he didn't let the football stay under his feet for a while, but passed the football out immediately. It's a good thing he didn't pass forward. The tactics that can be regarded as ever-victorious have been branded in his heart.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic saw the ball back at Jose Passarella's feet and went up for it again.

Unfortunately, this time, he still failed to steal the ball. He couldn't even interfere with Jose Passarella, who turned around and passed the ball to the goalkeeper Handanovic in the penalty area - well, round, the ball returned. Arrived at the origin...

Juventus, no. It should be said that Ibrahimovic is busy for nothing.

Ibrahimovic will not go up to grab Handanovic this time.

He waved angrily and complained to the referee.

But what is there to complain about?

People just pass the ball back and forth, and there is no rule that says that players on the same team cannot pass more than six feet in a row.

It's just that this is really delaying time...

Everyone knows it, but you can't help it, because the rules don't say that such a delay is not allowed.

Even if DeSantis favors Juventus. There is no way to punish Lazio on this ground.

Capello spread his hands off the court, also looking helpless and angry.

※ ※ ※

Juventus obviously won't just give up on this game, especially as they are only one goal behind.

So in the next game, they suddenly changed their strategy. It's no longer about waiting in the backcourt for Lazio to come up. Instead, they pressed out to siege Lazio's players.

Of course they know that Lazio will immediately adjust their tactics and use the same set in the first half.

But this is what Juventus hope for.

Because in the first half, it was still a normal opponent. It was a normal game against them. If you play against Lazio in the second half, it will be a completely abnormal game. There is no way to talk about victory or not in such a game.

They would rather take the risk of letting Lazio score, but also let the game return to normal track.

In this way, at least Juventus can still have a chance to win, otherwise, Juventus has no chance at all.

※ ※ ※

Chang Sheng did not continue to fall in the midfield, because the pressure of the Juventus players put pressure on Lazio.

After all, this team has only just been exposed to this tactic for less than half a year. There are many places that are immature and perfect, and their understanding of this tactic is not thorough enough. The reason why they can achieve good results is only because other teams in Serie A are less familiar than them...

Once their opponents have reacted and studied Lazio's tactics thoroughly, they may not have such good results.

Chang Sheng has long been prepared, so Chang Sheng took advantage of this time to earn points desperately. The games that can be won are definitely not even, and the games that can be matched by a big score will never be 1:0. The purpose is to be able to take advantage if there is a chance to compete with each other in terms of win-loss relationship and goal difference in the future.

Seeing Juventus coming up to press, Chang Sheng decisively changed his tactics.

The two sides had offense and defense with each other, and the game returned to a normal rhythm.

In the second half of the game, although everyone was fooling around with offense and defense, no one was able to score a goal.

Juventus had two great chances, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic missed both.

And what about Lazio? Same thing.

The game went into stoppage time. Juventus realized that they only needed to score one more goal to get out, so their offensive became even more frenzied.

They launched wave after wave of offensives towards the Lazio goal.

At this time, it is useless for Lazio to control the ball well. This is a "hard" defense. The test is not your ability to handle the ball, but your ability to defend.

During this time, Jose Passarella was radiant.

He has height, he has a header, and he has excellent frontal interception ability.

After Ibrahimovic was entangled in him, the game hardly did anything. In stoppage time. He tried to make a last-ditch effort, but unfortunately he ran into a solid Jose Passarella.

The Spanish young centre-back was as steady as a rock, emotionless but stubbornly stuck to his position.

In the end, because of time constraints, Juventus simply kept passing high balls from both sides. Pin on the headers from the two high center forwards with Trezeguet and Ibrahimovic.

It's a pity that Ibrahimovic's header ability is really bad-in the two seasons in Valencia, Chang Sheng has never practiced Ibrahimovic's header, but let his feet The law is becoming more and more perfect.

He didn't expect that one day he would benefit from his original decision.

Jose Passarella simply threw Ibrahimovic to Pavon, and ran to fight Trezeguet himself. This is blatantly ignoring Ibrahimovic, so Ibrahimovic is very dissatisfied with Jose Passarella.

But so what?

In terms of scrambling for the high ball, he is indeed not the opponent of Pavon and Passarella, and even Nedved is more threatening than him.

The contest between Passarella and Trezeguet was thrilling. It seems that Trezeguet had the opportunity to head the football into the goal several times-he did hit the ball, but under the interference of Jose Passarella, he either hit the top high or hit the goal. too positive.

※ ※ ※

It stands to reason that three minutes of stoppage time for this game should be enough. Because the second half was generally very smooth, I don't want to have a dispute and dispute caused by a misjudgment in the first half.

But in fact the injury time given by the fourth official was five minutes!

As soon as stoppage time came out, there was a huge booing at the Olympic Stadium.

Everyone sees that dazzling green "5".

But booing can't change the referee's decision.

Chang Sheng didn't make a scene with the fourth official, he just spread his hands. Express your dissatisfaction again.

He has already used up all three replacement names, so there is no way to use substitutions to delay time at this time.

He also didn't dare to let the players use the method of holding the ball in the backcourt to defend. Because the actions of the Juventus players are getting bigger and bigger, some of them are already fouls, and the referee De Santis chooses to turn a blind eye. Lazio players fell to the ground frequently, but he didn't call Juventus players for fouls.

Chang Sheng is not an idiot, so he naturally knows what's tricky about it. But he didn't put all his energy into quarrels with the fourth official, quarrels with the referee, and quarrels with opponents.

He asked his players to be concise and concise in defense. When you have the ball, just drive forward with your big foot, and don't even think about counterattacking quickly. At this time, keep the football as far away from your goal as possible.

Lazio held on for five minutes, but Juventus still failed to score.

The Lazio fans were ready to cheer victory.

But the referee DeSantis still had no intention of blowing the whistle to end the game.

Time continues to jump, and the game continues to play.

It's been almost half a minute.

The boos from the stands grew louder.

The referee turned a deaf ear, and the Juventus players were making a last-ditch effort.

The timeout is almost a minute away.

Even assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez couldn't resist rushing to the fourth official to question DeSantis' stoppage time.

"Can't he count?"

The fourth official pretended not to hear.

Six minutes into stoppage time.

The boos continued, and even Lazio's players began to protest to referee De Santis.

And Juventus is still attacking.

Six minutes and thirty seconds into stoppage time, Juventus had the best chance of the game!

They stared at the boos who sent the football into Lazio's danger zone.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic got the ball in the middle of the left, Trezeguet was on the right of the center, and there was no Lazio player there.

He raised his hand to Ibrahimovic for the ball, as long as Ibrahimovic passed the football, he would be able to seal his throat with a sword!

"This is Juventus' chance—" Even the commentator realized it and roared loudly.

On the Lazio side, there is anger and worry-if Trezeguet hits the football, there is really no place to cry!

Just at this critical moment, Ibrahimovic raised his foot...to shoot!

He took a shot, and he ignored Trezeguet who raised his hand for the ball!

He fully believes in his shooting skills. If Trezeguet is sure to blast the football into Lazio's goal, he is even more sure!

Because he is more motivated to beat Lazio than Trezeguet!

Then, everyone saw the football fly high off the crossbar and land on the runway behind the goal...
