Chapter 398 Do you dare not give your best in the game against Lazio? (79/134)
In the first 25 minutes of the first half, Juventus looked evenly matched with Lazio, and they even had a chance to take the lead.
However, the center back partnership of Jose Passarella and Chiellini, coupled with Handanovic's outstanding performance, ensured that Lazio kept the goal.
But if this situation continues, no one knows what this game will turn into.
And the most important thing is that Juventus' players look full of energy and don't look like they will run out of energy in the second half.
Moreover, there were media reports before the game that Juventus was paying close attention to physical training. Their physical fitness was already good, and before this game, Delneri made another rotation.
This allows most of the main players to have rest time so that they can play in their best condition against Lazio in this game.
In the first half, Juventus did not completely suppress Lazio. It can be seen that they have some remaining strength, so the two sides are attacking and defending each other.
Juventus fans don't have to worry that their team will be like AC Milan, taking advantage in the first half and even taking the lead, and then being blown away by Lazio in the second half.
They believed that their team should be able to contend with Lazio in the second half. Even if they did not have an advantage on the field, they should still be able to contend with Lazio.
Lazio fans are worried whether Lazio will be successfully attacked by Juventus...
After all, they were terrified after watching the previous games.
The commentators also have such doubts, and public opinion wants Juventus to win.
Because Lazio's one-sided game was really boring.
People tend to sympathize with the weak, so they support Juventus.
It's a bit funny to say that Juventus are weak. But it depends on who they are compared to.
Compared with Lazio, Juventus is indeed a weakling...
The TV broadcast gave Chang Sheng a close-up shot. He was standing on the sidelines with a calm face, making it difficult for people to know what he was thinking.
However, the commentators can still put many hats on Chang Sheng.
"... often standing on the sidelines with a solemn expression! Maybe he also felt the difficulty of this game!"
"He often stared nervously at the court from the sidelines. The team was unable to open up the situation, and he could no longer sit down on the coach's bench..."
"Juventus makes Lazio feel troubled, and Chang is thinking hard about countermeasures. But has he thought of anything? I don't know..."
These are all understood by the commentators themselves.
If Chang Sheng knew what these commentators said about him, he would definitely laugh and cry.
In fact, there is no point in Chang Sheng standing on the sidelines. He is just changing his posture after sitting for a long time.
Chang Sheng just stood on the sidelines, observing his own performance and that of his opponent.
He could see that Juventus were conserving their strength, and they might also be worried about their physical strength in the second half, which led them to fail to seize the opportunity in the first half.
If Juventus thinks they can continue to struggle with Lazio in the second half, then they should tell them how dangerous it is to think about having room to spare in the face of Lazio...
Lazio's tactics are correct now. The reason why they failed to score a goal is because they made too many mistakes. But Chang Sheng is not worried about this problem.
Although there were many mistakes, Lazio still had offensive opportunities that could threaten Juventus' goal, but they just failed to seize them.
So maybe I can catch it next time?
Anyway, there is nothing to adjust for the victory now.
※※※
There are many reasons for scoring a goal. It may be a precise tactical arrangement. The tactics suppressed the opponent, so the goal was scored.
It may also be a player's personal flash, a flash of inspiration, and he scores another goal.
Or maybe it was just good luck, an accidental hit, and no one expected that a goal would be scored.
Therefore, during the game, players must try to stay focused at all times during the ninety minutes, because you don’t know when the opponent will score a goal in an attack, and you have no way of knowing the attack that is threatening your goal.
Can a goal be scored in the end...
As long as you are even the slightest bit lax, it may bring about very bad consequences!
Now, Lazio is attacking, and Juventus is fiercely pressing Lazio players in their own half.
Of course, this is the norm in the first half, and Juventus will definitely compete fiercely in their own half.
After entering Juventus' half, Lazio will also speed up the passing speed.
Just like they do now.
Hernanes passed the ball to full-back Coentrao who was running up the wing.
Coentrao did not continue to dribble the ball, but passed it to the feet of Ledesma who had pulled up to the ribs to meet him.
Ledes quickly passed the ball without stopping. Just as he passed the ball, Juventus' Marchisio hit him from behind.
If he had been half a second sooner or later, he might not have been able to control the ball.
Now, football is back at Hernanes' feet.
There is no direct pass from the Brazilian midfielder.
Although everyone thought he was going to continue to hit the ball.
But surprisingly, he didn't do this, and not only that, he made a fake move to catch the football.
Sissoko, another Juventus defensive player, was fooled. Sissoko mistakenly thought he was going to catch the ball, so he ran towards the position of Hernanes. Unexpectedly, the Brazilian came in football.
At this moment, he gently pushed the football to the side with the outside of his right foot, and then the football passed by Sissoko's outstretched leg.
At the same time, Hernanes jumped up very nimbly, just in time to avoid Sissoko's collision.
He gently pushed Sissoko with both hands and used the force to jump back and forth.
After landing, he exploded instantly and caught up with the football!
Juventus didn't expect that Lazio, who had always been passing, passing, passing, suddenly changed their approach and started playing personal heroism!
Facing Hernanes' breakthrough, they were shocked at first.
Then when they came to their senses, their reaction was extreme.
Almost at the same time, three Juventus players rushed up from three different directions, intending to steal the ball from Hernanes' feet.
But just when they were halfway through, they realized that all three of them came up to defend Hernanes. So what should the other Lazio players do? Aren't they just in an unmarked environment?
Has it rained?
Hernanes apparently went with them.
At this moment, he distributed the ball.
The football passed between the three Juventus players who had not had time to close up!
In the end, the football fell to Mario Gotze.
In order to make up for this mistake, Juventus forced Grosso, who was originally a full-back, to go to the ribs to cover up the defense. In this way, the wide space behind him was completely opened up!
Mario Gotze naturally saw something, so he quickly divided the football.
Right back Faraoni jumped in at high speed, received Gotze's pass, and entered the penalty area!
There is only Buffon in front of him!
Juventus center back Barzagli naturally did not allow Faraoni to meet Buffon so easily, so he gave up the center and defended to the wing.
At this time, he could no longer think about it. If he went to the wing, who would come to the center?
Because of Hernanes' breakthrough, Juventus' defenders replaced each other one by one, and finally it became like this. Their original airtight defense... has now begun to collapse in sections!
※※※
"Danger! Lazio has a great opportunity!!"
"Faraoni entered the penalty area, and there was no one around him to defend him!"
Amid the exclamations of the commentator, Faraoni swung his foot and made a shot. Barzagli rushed over and blocked Faraoni's shot with a sliding tackle.
But when Faraoni's foot came down, it wasn't a shot, he swept the football sideways to the goal!
At this time, the camera followed the football to the goal. All the TV viewers saw Rocky running to the goal, tapping his ankle lightly, and the football passed by Faraoni flew into the goal!
Lazio leads by one goal!
"Rocky——!! The ball went in! The ball went in! Lazio took the lead! In the 32nd minute, Lazio finally took the lead at home!"
"Lazio finally broke the deadlock! Juventus' airtight defense had a problem in this defense and made a big mistake!"
The commentators sounded disappointed and regretful.
Of course they will do this, because they also hope that Juventus can break Lazio's dominance... Now it seems that Lazio still won.
Although the first half has only started for 32 minutes, what this goal means to both Lazio and Juventus is obvious and there is no dispute.
Lazio will boost their morale with this goal and completely drag the game into their rhythm.
And what about Juventus?
Just look at the reaction of Juventus players and coaches now, and you will know.
When Rocchi knocked the football into the goal, the Juventus player closest to him was Grigra, who was chasing after him. Although he was trying to catch up, when Rocchi scored, he was still far away from Rocchi.
Two or three meters away, there was no time to stop the old captain of Lazio.
He witnessed the whole process of Rocky's goal, and then he raised his hands and held his head, very disappointed.
Grigra is the epitome of a Juventus player.
Most of the other Juventus players were like this, either with their heads in their hands or with dull eyes.
On the Juventus coaching bench, the head coach Delneri, who was standing on the sidelines, punched hard and was very annoyed!
All his plans are based on not conceding the ball first.
Now that we have lost the ball, how can we continue to play the game?
Continue to hold on?
Even if they don't concede a goal after this, the team will lose the game with a score of 0:1.
To him, this makes no sense.
There is no difference between losing only one goal and losing ten goals.
Lazio still got three points and maintained a winning streak in the league, while Juventus still failed to defeat Lazio...
Everything will come to a starting point, so why are he and the team working so hard?
Does it set off Lazio’s strength from the side? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
