Chapter 199 Stable (9/21)
When Benzema shot the football into the goal guarded by Buffon, the previously noisy Alpi Stadium suddenly fell silent. m
The Juventus players looked back as the ball rolled into the net as Benzema ran with arms outstretched in celebration.
Someone raised his arm, indicating that Benzema was offside.
But this time, the referee did not help them, the referee blew his whistle and made a valid gesture for a goal!
"No problem with the goal! The timing of Modric's pass and the movement of Benzema are just right!"
"Melo should really take a good look at it, he is called the core of the organization!"
While cheering for Benzema's goal, the commentator did not forget to disgust Melo.
In fact Melo was looking at Modric.
It's only been one season, and Modric's performance has made him a little unrecognizable.
Under the double-teaming of three people, he calmly protected the football, then observed the surrounding situation, and finally made a pass at the most appropriate time, passed the football to the correct position, and gave Benzema a chance to score a goal... …
Such a performance was not very common last season.
Modric has improved a lot...
Melo turned his head to look at the coaching bench of the visiting team off the field.
Chang Sheng was standing there, applauding and celebrating Benzema's goal.
Everyone seemed to be making remarkable progress under this man.
Back then, I was like this too.
until he decides to leave.
If he hadn't chosen to leave, would he have been like Modric and Benzema now. Is there more and greater progress?
It's a pity that these are now "what ifs" and "ifs".

When Lazio scored a goal, the Lazio fans in the stands gave out huge cheers. Taking advantage of the moment when the Juventus fans lost their minds, they finally made their voices come out.
Of course, soon, the Juventus fans who reacted suppressed the voices of the Lazio fans with huge boos.
When the game restarted, Juventus, who had lost the ball, launched a fierce offensive towards Lazio's goal amidst the cheers of the home team fans.
Faced with such a fierce offensive from the opponent, Lazio did not panic.
When the football is at their feet, they keep passing it. Defend by controlling the ball and slow down Juventus' offensive rhythm. It's like creating a swamp, allowing Juventus players to step in and get trapped and unable to get out.
This style of play made the Juventus players very unhappy.
When they were full of enthusiasm and wanted to fight Lazio, Lazio chose to avoid fighting. Such behavior is really disgusting!
At the same time, Juventus' offense is also due to Lazio's defensive strategy. and cannot be expanded.
In short, the kick was all kinds of awkward and uncomfortable.
As a result, until the end of the first half, Juventus could not rely on offense to get the score back.
The score was still 1:0, and Lazio in the away game took the lead.
This first half made Juventus very depressed.
They feel that they are obviously strong, but they just can't try it out. They are really like adventurers in the swamp now, no amount of strength will help.

During the intermission, Ranieri made a decision - he replaced Melo in advance.
When Melo heard this decision, his eyes widened and he looked at Ranieri in disbelief!
Ranieri did not explain too much, but everyone understands that this is because Melo's performance in the first half was terrible.
Even because of his poor performance in the first half. Affected the performance of the whole team...
So replace Melo. No one will feel dissatisfied and puzzled.
Melo was furious. He felt he had been made a scapegoat for the team's poor situation. If Juventus lose the game in the end, he will be pushed out as an excuse...
That's what Ranieri did!
He clenched his fists tightly.
But after a minute, he loosened his fist again.
Because he has no meaning other than being angry with himself and himself.
The arms can't twist the thighs...
Since a season. For the first time, Melo regretted moving to such a team...

"You guys did a great job, guys. We were one goal ahead of them in the first half. But that's not enough, we need to be ahead of them even more! We need to knock their morale and confidence down! Juventus fans said Yes, this game is indeed a very symbolic game. We will use this game to tell everyone. All those who spy on our throne - die! This is the era of our dominion! Or take the initiative Attach and surrender to us, or tremble under our swords and guns!"
In the locker room, Chang Sheng is continuing to cheer the players on.
Leading by one goal in the first half, this score is very delicate. If you don't concentrate at the beginning of the second half, you may lose the goal.
In that case, the lead of one goal will be gone in a blink of an eye. What's the point?
Therefore, Changsheng must let every player focus on every minute of this game.
You know, this is not only about the championship, but also about face.

When Chang Sheng found out that Melo had been substituted just after the start of the second half, he was surprised.
He knew that Melo's performance was not good, but he didn't expect Melo to end so soon.
The game is only halftime...
This time, everyone knew that it was Melo's poor performance that caused Juventus to fall behind.
If Juventus loses in the end, the infamy of Melo, the culprit, will not be able to escape.
But Chang Sheng will not show mercy just because he doesn't want Melo to bear this infamy.
This game must be won, and the arrogance of Juventus fans must be severely hit!
What age is it, and you are still imagining that you are the boss of Italy?
In the second half, Juventus did not attack smoothly because of Melo's end.
Del Piero even had to sacrifice his scoring and go back to midfield to try and organize.
But in reality he has always been a shadow striker. Rather than a midfielder, organizing offense is not his specialty...
Juventus relies more on each other more often.
It's okay to say that the deadliest thing comes from their defense.
After selling the unreliable Chiellini to Lazio, they found that they couldn't find a suitable central defender!
The bought Portuguese central defender Andrade came to the team and was injured after only four games, and he was reimbursed for the entire season!
Grigera's performance was also inconsistent.
But you have to make do with instability, because there are no central defenders available.
Now Juventus's starting central defenders are Grigera and Lero Tallie.
This is Juventus' short board. The performance of both of them is average.
Lazio kept attacking these two men, knowing that they could not resist the position.
This is a bit like the 2000 European Cup final. When the French team was behind, they repeatedly attacked Cannavaro's defense line on the right, and finally at the end of the game. Cannavaro, who was as firm as a rock, couldn't resist it anymore and fell to the ground. And then... Italy narrowly lost to France.
What the victorious Lazio is doing now is somewhat similar to what it was doing at the beginning.
It's just that they took turns attacking the two central defenders, mainly looking for Grigera.
Although Falcao has not scored a goal in this game until now, he is active in the penalty area. Put a lot of pressure on the two central defenders.
For this reason, they don't even care about other Lazio players.
In the 63rd minute, Lazio scored another goal!
It's deadly!
The one who scored the goal was Benzema again!
"Karim Benzema!!!" the commentator shouted. "This is his eighteenth league goal of the season! He scored twice in this game! This goal shows his speed! A beautiful counterattack! Lazio went to Falcao with a long ball from the back. , Falcao ferried the football to Benzema. Benzema can give full play to his speed advantage... Then the football goes in... Buffon faced Benzema's second single-handedly, there was nothing he could do! But Don't blame him for the goal, because Juventus' defense has been completely penetrated!"
The excited Benzema took off his jersey to celebrate, for which he received a yellow card, but he was in a good mood and did not bother with the referee.

Chang Sheng waved his fist off the court.
Steady!
The victory of this game is secured!
At this moment, he heard loud boos from the stands.
He knew the boos were aimed at him and Lazio.
This is the desperate bark of the negative dogs.
Juventus fans can only express their dissatisfaction in this way.
Unfortunately……
It's useless.
Chang Sheng shrugged and turned to provoke the Juventus fans.
He put his index finger to his lips and gestured to the Juventus fans to shut up.
certainly. Juventus fans can't really shut up. Their boos grew louder, with some swearing mixed in.
Their boos completely drowned out the cheers of Lazio's "undisciplineable" fans.
Chang Sheng continued to provoke them. He picked his ears with his hands, as if he thought the booing wasn't loud enough.
As he wished, the booing got louder.
Chang Sheng put his hands behind him this time. Make a listening gesture.
The Juventus fans wanted to boo louder, but forced their voices to become hoarse, and the voice became quieter instead.
Apparently the booing at the Alpi Stadium is down a notch, and you can even hear the cheers of the Lazio fans...
So Chang Sheng laughed.
He withdrew his hand. Turned around and returned to the coach's bench.
Behind him are the curses and middle fingers of the Juventus fans.
"You Chinese bitch!"
"Go back to China and eat shit! Pigs!"
"You bastard!! You are a fucking bastard!"
"I'm going to kill you! Bastard!"
...
Chang Sheng turned a deaf ear to this.
These verbal attacks did him no real harm.
It would make those Juventus fans angry.
Losing the game and still holding back their stomachs, this night was simply too tragic for them!
As for the extreme Lazio fans who clamored to give Juventus fans some color before the game, they couldn't even match Chang Sheng's combat effectiveness...
