Chapter 77 Be Careful
Although Lazio insisted on playing defense, Capello did not let Juventus attack wildly, or besiege Juventus.
Because Lazio's defense is a very versatile defense. The basis of their defense lies in possession of the ball. Since they are controlling the football at their feet, they can do anything. If you can defend, you can also attack.
When they use this to defend, it means less direct passes and fewer shots. And once they want to attack, it is also very easy, pass the ball directly forward, and press forward as a whole.
So just because Lazio says they are defensive, you cannot believe that they are really defensive.
With the ball at their feet, they attack when they want to and defend when they want to.
If Juventus thinks that Lazio is focusing on defense and presses the offense, Lazio doesn't mind scoring Juventus' goal. After all, who doesn't love a win?
So Lippi dared not make such a decision.
On the contrary, he has to make the team pay attention to defense and not be taken advantage of by Lazio.
Chang Sheng is a young cunning fox.
Capello didn't believe him.
Because Juventus has always been very cautious, Lazio failed to score by the end of the first half.
Of course, Juventus didn't score either.
The two sides played 0:0 in the first half.
Both teams looked calm and relaxed as they left the field to go to the locker rooms.
Because their goals have been achieved.
For Lazio, half of the task was completed without conceding a goal in the first half. For Juventus, the first half was originally a foreshadowing. It doesn't matter if you score or not. The second half is the decisive moment.
※※※
During the 15-minute intermission, the coaches of both sides praised the performance of their teams and reminded them not to take it lightly.
Capello looked particularly nervous.
Because he was afraid that the players would make a fake show in the end, and Lazio would take advantage of the loophole and score a goal, which would be a disaster.
So he repeatedly wanted the players to emphasize the importance of acting skills.
"When you press forward, you have to keep an eye on your back at all times. Lazio's overall progress is very fast! If you are not careful, by the time you react, they have already scored the football into the goal! So you must not relax Defensive demands!"
On the other side of Lazio, the atmosphere is more relaxed.
"Patience. Defense. That's it. No matter how Juventus play, we stick to our strategy."
※※※
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Juventus cautiously touched up to attack, and Lazio continued to defend.
Such a game is not good, very bad.
If it weren't for the fans of the two teams, I am afraid that few people would want to watch it.
But this is the main event, and it has to be broadcast live. Not only in Italy, but also in Europe and China.
So Chinese fans watched a slow, lethargic game during prime time.
Many people didn't even make it to the end of the game, they turned off the TV and went to sleep.
Someone went to the Internet to complain: "Who the hell told me that Lazio's game is the best. The most entertaining? The most hypnotic, okay?!"
But Lazio and Juventus fans in Italy don't see it that way.
Although the pace was not fast, the atmosphere was always tense.
Because the score is always kept at 0:0. A goal from either side will break the deadlock and balance. So who can break the deadlock and balance?
Lazio or Juventus?
Everyone watched the game with great anticipation.
In fifty minutes, the score was 0:0.
Sixty minutes later, the score was still 0:0.
After 70 minutes, the score was still fucking 0:0!
Finally someone can't sit still!
The Juventus fans in the stands booed, not only for the visiting team Lazio, but also for the home team Juventus.
Because Juventus can't do anything about Lazio at home, it's impossible for this team to be so strong, right?
The fans hope to use this method to put pressure on Juventus, make them work harder, and must win the game at home. Beat Lazio!
Then the Juventus players became "anxious".
They had some more long-range shots, and the defenders began to gradually press up.
※※※
Capello stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines, his mouth tightly pursed and his hands folded.
He wanted to see if Lazio would be fooled.
At the same time, Chang Sheng also walked to the sidelines, and then slowly squatted down.
He also wants to see if his team can faithfully implement his tactical requirements.
※※※
Camoranesi conceded the ball when he cut inside and the ball landed at the feet of Lazio's midfielder Khedira. If Lazio wants to fight back, this is a good opportunity!
When Capello saw this scene, he felt a little nervous.
He wanted to see what Lazio would do.
I saw that Khedira did not pass the football to other teammates around him, but directly made a long pass!
This is the rhythm of a quick counterattack!
coming!
Capello even looked forward to it. Looking forward to seeing Lazio's players rushing towards the ball...
Even the commentators were chanting: "Lazio's counterattack! Here they come!!"
But when Benzema received the ball, everyone was disappointed.
There are no so-called "men", just one person, one Benzema.
Benzema has the ball and he starts dribbling forward.
He didn't pass because there was no one around him who could pass. Most of the Lazio players are still in the backcourt... and have no intention of coming up to help.
Benzema didn't take football too far. When he ran into Cannavaro, he lost the football under the pressure of the experienced world-class central defender.
Lazio's counterattack is over.
Come quickly, end quickly. People didn't even react.
Capello felt very surprised. He stared blankly at the field, even though his team had begun to reorganize the offense, he did not respond.
This is Lazio's counterattack?
When did Lazio's counterattack become so weak?
Only rely on one Benzema? Do they think Juventus' defense is paper?
wrong!
Capello turned his head to look at Chang Sheng who was still squatting on the ground.
He felt that this should be specially arranged by Chang Sheng.
When Lazio has a chance to counterattack, it will not invest too much force in the counterattack, at most two people, most of which are Benzema alone.
This is the safest way, and will not put your defense in danger.
Capello, who understood, spat hard in his heart: What are you doing so cautiously? !
※※※
Chang Sheng couldn't hear Capello's disdain for him in his heart. He was a little relieved to see the team's performance in this counterattack.
He believes that as long as he continues to defend like this, Juventus will have nothing to do sooner or later.
While in Spain. Some media commented that Valencia's defense is smothering opponents.
Now he is going to use this trick to make Juventus lose his temper completely!
Since I said to be an uninvited guest, then I really came to be an uninvited guest, don't think I am bluffing.
Although this unexpected guest is a little wretched, no matter how wretched it is, it is still an uninvited guest. As long as it can make the host unhappy, then the uninvited guest will be happy.
Seeing the team's performance, Chang Sheng was relieved a lot. He stood up from the ground and returned to the coach's bench.
Rudy Gonzalez turned to look at him, he shrugged: "We're going to piss off Juventus."
※※※
Five minutes later. Capello is sure, this is deliberately arranged by Lazio coach Chang Sheng!
Regardless of how much space behind Juventus has been exposed. Even if Lazio doesn't take a step beyond the threshold, if there is a chance to counterattack, they will let Benzema or David Silva handle it alone. At most, there will be some cooperation between these two people.
But most of the time, they are alone.
There is a fart threat in such a counterattack?
Yes, there is really no threat. Because Chang Sheng didn't expect to score goals with such a counterattack.
Juventus wanted to lure him out, but he just became a coward!
This five-minute game made Capello vomit blood.
He really wanted to yell at Chang Sheng with the tweeter: "The coach of the champion, you are so useless! Come out and fight us to the death if you have the ability!"
But he realized that if Lazio kept playing like this. Then I'm afraid I really have to give it my all, relying on my strong strength to tear apart Lazio's defense...
He started changing people.
After the three substitutions were quickly used up, Juventus's offensive became more fierce.
Lazio can't pass five balls in a row now-they could pass more than a dozen balls in a row before.
Most of the time, in order to prevent Juventus from stealing the ball, they had to drive their big feet forward. It doesn't matter whether the pass is passed to the feet of his teammates, anyway, just stay away from the dangerous zone.
The boos from the stands got louder, obviously. Any fool can tell that the booing is aimed at Juventus.
The home team has the advantage, but it can't win a turtle, which makes Juventus fans very upset.
The Juventus players are also very upset-is this still a decent game? !
We want to have a serious match with you. But look at you! You will just shrink back and forth in your own half! Where do you play football like this?
You are sullying football!
Defile yourselves too!
Juventus, who wanted revenge, pressed higher and higher.
Many people even thought that Lazio would definitely organize a beautiful counterattack, and then scored.
But Lazio still guarded the penalty area firmly, and did not easily press on, and did not show any intention of scoring goals by counterattacking.
Capello shook his head, he had seen Chang Sheng's caution.
It seems that if I can't let the team score in the remaining ten minutes, the game will end 0:0...
At this time, Lazio once again launched a "counterattack".
Francisco Pavon kicked the football upfield and landed right at the feet of Benzema.
Then Benzema didn't even look back, and rushed forward with the ball.
Of course, as before, he was still alone, and within a radius of fifteen meters around him, there was no Lazio player wearing a sky blue jersey... To be continued.
