Del Neri can be regarded as fighting for survival, but he is not fighting for the survival of the team, but for his own right to survive.
Chang Sheng was nicknamed the "Fellow Killer" because many of the head coaches he played against were dismissed.
All because they lost to his team.
In fact, it's not that Chang Sheng has more control over his peers, but because his peers are in a more dangerous period when they compete with him. As long as they lose to Chang Sheng, the situation will completely collapse, so they lose to Chang Sheng.
After winning often, their position as leader is often in doubt.
This is the situation in Delneri now.
He led Juventus to a high performance but a low performance, and now he is under a lot of pressure.
Meeting Chang Sheng again would be like adding salt to the wound.
But he also has a chance to save his fate.
Now everyone knows how good Lazio is, which always wins. So if Delneri's Juventus can draw with Lazio, it will make his coaching position more stable.
After all, there is currently no team that can draw with Lazio. If Del Neri's Juventus can do it, it will be very difficult.
This alone can make his life much easier.
Although the prospect is very attractive, this kind of thing is easier said than done.
Del Neri's Juventus is not the first team to try to draw with Lazio. Before them, everyone thought of many ways, but why didn't any team succeed?
Does Del Neri have any unique secrets?
Not at all.
The only thing Delneri can rely on now is Juventus' defensive tradition.
Juventus is a very good defensive team and very stable.
It’s just that in recent years, Juventus’ stability has been lost. The defensive gene has also been lost – of course, Chiellini and Bonucci, who were supposed to belong to Juventus, are now poached to Lazio by the winning team.
Juventus currently has no reliable defender at all.
Now the most trustworthy and stable player in their squad is Lichtsteiner, who was recruited from Lazio.
But the Swiss international is a full-back, not a centre-back.
You can't rely on a full-back to defend, right?
So now, Juventus actually mainly relies on Buffon.
But Buffon is also old.
His condition is unstable and he is easily affected by injuries.
This is one of the reasons why Juventus' performance has been ups and downs in recent years, a technical reason.
Because the defensive ability has declined. The team always concedes goals and always loses, so naturally the results are not much better.
Since the defense is so bad, how can Juventus draw with Lazio at home?
※ ※ ※
The method given by Delneri was to give up the offense completely and retreat to the penalty area.
I hope to rely on the local numerical advantage to ensure the team's defense.
Since there is no hope in terms of individual quality, it is better to work on quantity.
As long as we have enough defensive personnel in certain areas, we can guarantee not to concede the ball.
No matter how strong Lazio is, it is still at the level of football on earth. No matter how the level of Juventus drops, it is still better than many teams.
When you think about it this way, you feel that maybe Juventus can really draw with Lazio, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily true?
After the game started, Lazio did encounter considerable resistance on offense because of Juventus's defense.
Throughout the first half, Lazio shot as many as eleven times, but failed to break through Juventus' goal.
Buffon was also in good condition today and made several key saves to keep the goal.
Lazio, on the other hand, seemed a little impatient after being unable to attack for a long time.
Even in the away game, Lazio players felt that they could easily defeat Juventus. Because Juventus' recent performance was really not that good, many Lazio players did not regard Juventus as a team at all.
What opponent.
They feel that Juventus has gone downhill since the "Calciopoli" incident.
How can Juventus be compared with Lazio today?
As a result, they saw a tenacious Juventus in the first half.
During the halftime break, Chang Sheng told them with a solemn face that if they continued to play like this, after the game, they would all be assigned to him to report to the reserve team.
However, despite Chang Sheng's harsh words, he did not let the players find solutions on their own.
When Juventus shrank its defense, Lazio's offense in the first half seemed very impatient and simple. They didn't have much patience to organize kicks, but quickly hit the front edge of Juventus's penalty area, although they passed the ball casually.
With both feet, as long as there is no chance, he will directly shoot a long shot, or a very reckless through ball.
Such an attack is naturally no threat to Juventus.
Therefore, in the second half, Chang Sheng planned to slow down Lazio's offensive pace.
We need to make the team more patient, instead of just kicking the football away and the whole thing is over.
He asked the players to calm down and look for opportunities.
He believes that with Lazio's strength, as long as they are patient, they will be able to find flaws in Juventus' defense.
※ ※ ※
After the start of the second half, Juventus continued to defend.
They successfully defended Lazio's defense in the first half, which boosted their morale. Delneri also praised their performance during the halftime break.
They are looking forward to the second half of the game.
But they soon felt the changes in their opponent Lazio.
When facing their defense, Lazio's offense was no longer as impatient as it was in the first half.
Opponents become more patient.
They can pass the ball back and forth at the front of their penalty area. If there is no good opportunity, they don't mind passing the ball more than a dozen times in a row.
They no longer pursue the number of shots, but the quality of offense.
Such changes have increased the pressure on Juventus' players - it feels like they are relying on a big rock to defend, and are surrounded by wolves, and the wolves are circling around them. Although there is no way to attack immediately
, but it kept them under pressure from beginning to end. They didn't dare to let down their guard because they didn't know when the wolf would rush in.
This kind of mental pressure is far more terrible than the physical pressure.
You are physically tired. You can still take a rest and take a breath.
The spirit cannot get rest.
※ ※ ※
When Lazio slowed down their pace, their offense became more threatening. The quantity of offense decreased, but the quality increased.
They pursue success rates.
Every time when defending, Juventus needs to put in more experience, otherwise a slight negligence may lead to serious consequences.
This is not like the first half. Although Lazio had many shots, the quality was low. There were many attacks. Juventus didn't even need to defend. Lazio themselves wasted this offensive opportunity.
It's not that Lazio takes fewer shots and the pace is slower. Juventus' goal is safer.
Not so.
Now Juventus needs to use more energy to complete a defense. How long can such a high-intensity defense last?
※ ※ ※
In the 71st minute, Lazio passed the ball back and forth horizontally in front of Juventus' penalty area.
Although they are all said to be lateral passes, Lazio's lateral passes are somewhat different from those of other teams.
Many teams' lateral passes are passed directly horizontally, from the left to the center. The center transitions to the right, and then passes back from the right.
But Lazio's lateral passes are constantly making triangular passes in front of the opponent's penalty area.
For example, if Götze takes the ball and wants to pass it laterally, he will first pass it to Klose who is receiving the ball in the ribs. This is a forward pass, not a horizontal pass. If there is a chance in the ribs, Klose will directly turn around and go to
Gone.
At this point, it is not a horizontal pass.
But the opponent's defense will not be so weak, and they will not be able to defeat Lazio with just one pass.
So they will definitely stick close to Klose here, making it impossible for Klose to turn around.
So Klose will pass the football to the midfielder Modric who comes to meet him in the middle. After Modric gets the ball, he will not pass the ball immediately, he will observe the situation.
If there is a good opportunity, just pass the ball directly. For example, Klose could turn around and run into the space.
Of course, most of the time such good opportunities don’t exist.
So Modric will continue to pass the ball.
In this way, it keeps passing forward, passing back, passing forward, passing back, and constantly transferring, completing the pass from the side to the center, and from the center to the side.
In this process, Lazio will continue to look for opportunities to drive the football into the opponent's penalty area.
As long as it happens once, there is a high possibility of scoring a goal.
This is Lazio's cross transfer.
This shift makes it difficult for their opponents to defend and almost impossible to defend against.
Because your nerves will always be in a very tense state.
This time, they continued to look for opportunities in cross passes.
When David Silva received the ball, he found an opening.
This gap was caused by errors made by Juventus in the process of constantly shifting the focus of defense.
And Juventus hasn't realized it yet.
That is, there is a not-so-obvious gap in the ribs between their right center back and right back.
And David Silva saw it.
He thought it was a good opportunity.
Hitting the football over will create penetration.
Of course, if you pass the ball directly on the ground, there is still a high possibility that it will be intercepted by the opponent.
So he chose to pick the pass!
The ball flew over the head of the Juventus defense!
I found it when I was free, but it would be meaningless if the only person who found it was David Silva!
So let’s see who receives the pass from David Silva...
yes……
"Klose——!"
As the commentator shouted.
The German veteran ran diagonally and appeared at the landing point of the football!
When they saw the center forward who scored seven goals against Roma running towards the ball, the hearts of the Juventus fans at the Alpi Stadium stopped beating!
