After Lippi's substitution, Juventus changed from two full-backs attacking and one defending to both defending. This is obviously very confident in the offensive power of the frontcourt.
In the past, we could always see Gianluca Pessotto on the left side of Juventus assisting very forward, but after the substitution, Juventus's two full-backs could not play more than half a game.
Although Juventus is currently lagging behind, strengthening the offense is the most important thing.
But if you want to equalize or reverse, it is also crucial not to concede the ball.
Are you that confident?
Can one Del Piero replace the performance of two offensive players?
Bianchi is also preparing to make substitutions.
He called Delvecchio and put his arm around his shoulders and said: "Tell them when we get on the field later that we were good enough today. There are still 20 minutes left in the game. We must defend and look for opportunities to counterattack."
"Okay, coach."
Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, Delvecchio walked to the sideline.
"Roma made a substitution, Marco Delvecchio replaced Francesco Statuto, this was a counter substitution."
"The Roma team should be preparing to strengthen their defense. Bianchi said something before Delvecchio came on the field, which may be a tactical adjustment."
"It's a very smart approach. During this period, Juventus' offensive was very powerful, and Bianchi immediately made targeted arrangements. It can be seen that the coach from Argentina is very observant and also decisive in making adjustments.
"
After Delvecchio came on the field, he conveyed the coach's tactical thoughts, and all the Roma players nodded in agreement.
If Serra knew about it, he might cry out that he was wronged. The team was obviously asked to defend, a coach was fired, and a coach's tactics were implemented.
In fact, if you don’t look at the game time, there is another aspect that is also very important.
That's what Carlos Bianchi's career has been like.
Football is a place where the strong are respected, and Bianchi is obviously the strong one, while Serra is a rookie. Unless he can hold the Champions League like Mourinho and say to the players that I am the European champion, you can do nothing.
No, otherwise he really has no way to calm the players.
If your player career is not outstanding and you have no achievements as a coach, it will be difficult to get ahead in a big team.
After Roma strengthened its defense, Juventus still had some opportunities. In this case, Zidane showed his value.
In the 82nd minute, Zidane received a pass from Del Piero on the left. Facing two Roma players, he was not very efficient on his bicycle. Suddenly, after Tomasi, he almost completely relied on his body to eat Delvi alive.
Wonderful.
The two ran side by side and ran for several meters. Delvecchio failed to push the ball away. Instead, he always stretched his legs and lost his center of gravity and fell to the turf.
Old Maldini's eyes lit up in the stands.
A perfect combination of technique and body, Cesar Maldini prefers Zidane's style to that thin and agile player.
Zidane, who had already reached the top corner of the penalty area, wanted to repeat his old trick. Enrico Anoni did not dare to make a move easily, but when he saw Lin Supo, he was not in a hurry.
Zidane also noticed something strange about his opponent.
At this point in the game, he already knew Lin Supo, a forward freak.
So he quickly increased the frequency of his feet, flicked the ball with his right foot, and forced a breakthrough into the penalty area.
Lin Supo, who was already preparing to tackle the ball, saw that he could not catch up and did not dare to fully focus on stretching his feet. This would make it difficult to control and easily miss the ball.
Petrucci rushed to defend, even using his hands and feet, thinking he could stop the bald man.
Unexpectedly, Zidane suddenly hooked the ball with his left foot, supported it with his right foot, and turned around him.
“Marseille Slalom!!!”
"Zidane's famous stunt!!!"
The Frenchman's ballet-like performance in the penalty area silenced Rome's Olympic Stadium. Aldair was already panicking. He rushed towards Zidane immediately, which freed Del Piero.
It was too easy to pass the ball in this situation. Zidane hardly exerted any force, just flicked his toes, and the ball flew past Aldair.
Del Piero rushed into the penalty area and put his feet up, and the ball rolled obediently in the direction of his movement.
Two more steps, and before Marco Lanna could come over, Piero had already taken off.
boom--
Del Piero's shot was not very powerful, but he was very tricky. When he saw the Roma goalkeeper attacking, he chose to hit the far corner. The ball bypassed Stutjeni and went into the lower left corner of the goal.
1:1, Juventus equalized the score.
"Diero, after he came on the field, he equalized the score with his first shot. He seemed to be playing injured. No wonder Lippi replaced him. He really played a decisive role in the game."
"Yes, but Zidane deserves more credit for this goal. He broke through four Roma players in a row, and his Marseille spin in the penalty area was even more amazing. Juventus picked it up for 3.5 million euros.
It’s a big bargain. Judging from today’s performance, Zidane’s worth should not be lower than Alan Shearer.”
Alan Shearer moved to Newcastle for £15 million in the summer and became the top transfer bid of the summer.
In 1996, the pound was also more valuable than the euro, which meant that Zidane didn't even get a fraction of Shearer's price. It was indeed a value-for-money transfer.
Lin Supo was very reluctant to see Piero sticking out his tongue and running to celebrate.
Unexpectedly, Del Piero actually scored.
But this goal was indeed attributed to Zidane.
too strong!
It's not like Maradona's center of gravity swinging, it's a perfect combination of technology and body. He broke through 4 people, 3 of which were completed with physical contact.
Aside from his bad temper, Zidane is a perfect player.
He looked up at the scoreboard. 90:22, the regular time of the game had passed.
In fact, for Roma, there is nothing unacceptable about a draw with the powerful Juventus, but Lin Supo is not willing to accept it.
It was really bad to lead for more than 80 minutes and lose the victory at the last minute.
By the time Juventus finished celebrating and the game resumed, the fourth official on the sidelines had already raised the overtime card, which was 5 minutes, and there was 5 minutes of injury time in the second half.
Anxious Roma lost the ball shortly after kick-off, but before the Juventus players could gloat, they discovered that Lin Supo was even more exaggerated than before.
He was running entirely at sprint speed to press for the ball.
Even though Juventus had excellent frontcourt skills, they were suddenly confused by the sudden mad dog kicking style.
"Haha, Lin Supo. He is not the kind of player who is willing to draw. When he pressed like this, you see Totti started running, Shaparev and Tomasi also ran, and Juventus scored more goals.
Instead, I fell into passivity.”
Director Zhang said cheerfully.
Duan Xuan also laughed, and both of them were relatively relaxed.
1:1 is not a problem even from a commentary perspective, but Lin Supo's performance was very shameless.
"Football players should have this spirit of never giving up. The charm of football is that you never know what will happen until the last second...Lin Supo! Tackle!!!"
Duan Xuan suddenly shouted loudly.
"The Roma team launched a quick counterattack, and the referee was already looking at the watch. Can they kill the game? Lin Supo gave the ball to Shaparev, and Shaparev made a series of light passes. His movements were faster than Zida's It’s more elegant inside, like an elf on the green field.”
Shaparev also attacked from the left, but he was afraid of the whistle, so he didn't take the time to break into the small penalty area. He took the ball and spun around to get rid of the opponent's full-back, and then hit the ball with a trick kick. Inside the restricted area.
Totti, Lin Supo, Tomasi and Delvecchio all rushed into the penalty area. Juventus goalkeeper Peruzzi reached out and blocked the ball from the crossbar.
"Oops, it was ruined by the goalkeeper, but Roma still had a chance for a corner kick."
"Yes, this should be the last chance. The referee has already put the whistle in his mouth."
"Hahaha, there are a lot of people in Juventus' penalty area. The entire Roma team, including the goalkeeper, rushed into Juventus' penalty area."
Tomasi walked towards the corner flag area.
Lin Supo was the key target. He was very self-aware and simply did not squeeze in. His performance made the Juventus players dare not relax. The defender and other defensive players were in front of the goal. Zidane took the initiative to walk to Lin Supo. Staring at him.
After Tomasi took a run-up, he kicked the ball toward the goal.
There was a melee in front of the Juventus goal. Aldair, who was confused today, actually succeeded in grabbing a point. He shook his head, and then the ball hit Ferrara's chest. There was a burst of follow-up shots in the penalty area, and players from both sides were stretching their feet.
Totti saw the opportunity and sent the ball out with his back heel. Lin Supo did not hesitate. At the same time, Zidane also took a shot.
But Lin Supo was faster. He hit the ball behind the ball and Zidane's spikes were stuck in his legs.
The ball was lucky, it didn't hit any players and went directly into the goal!
