Melo also shouldered more offensive tasks in this game.
The football was passed to his feet more.
He now feels that he made the right move to Lazio and that his move to Juventus from Lazio was also right.
Going to Lazio transformed him from a mere defensive midfielder into a defensive midfielder who can organize offense - or so he thinks.
Going to Juventus allowed him to truly develop his core.
Although he began to participate in the offense at Lazio, the core of Lazio's midfield in the first season was Liverani, and he was more like a dirty worker. In the second season, Liverani left, and Modric was replaced.
The core has grown. Of course, Melo also started to try to attack, but his position is as a supporter, specifically assisting Modric.
Only at Juventus did he become the team's true midfield core.
Whether it's offense or defense, football has to pass through him.
This feeling made him feel very comfortable.
Everyone hopes to improve, but at Lazio, he couldn't go any further. Obviously, Chang Sheng wanted him to put more experience into defense.
He is a Brazilian player. How can Brazilian players not attack?
He is eager to attack and be the leader of the team.
At Juventus, he was initially a defender, but as the season progressed, he began to take on more offensive responsibilities.
Mello suddenly felt like he was going to get over it.
Melo was particularly enthusiastic in this match against his former club.
He wants to prove in the face of constant victory that he can still play as a playmaker rather than a supporter.
If he can lead Juventus to defeat Lazio, it will be the best proof!

Chang Sheng looked at Melo, who frequently raised his hands to request his teammates on the court, and really didn't know what to say.
He can change the fate of some people, but it seems that the fate of some people is deeply rooted.
When he sent Melo to Juventus, he had thought about this question - would Melo make the same mistake again?
Although the players are still the same players, the team is still the same team.
But after all, the time is different, and the head coach who coaches Melo is also different.
Melo was named the most disappointing player by the Italian media in his first season at Juventus and won the "Golden Garbage Award".
But to be fair, although Melo's performance in that season was not outstanding, it was not too bad either.
He made twenty-nine appearances and scored four goals.
It's just that his performance is in sharp contrast to his worth of 25 million euros.
Everyone thinks that he has not achieved the heights that everyone expected.
This has to do with head coach employment.
Melo is a defender, to put it bluntly, a pure defender.
A qualified midfield sweeper.
If he was only allowed to defend, he would definitely be one of the best defensive midfielders in football at that time.
But Juventus wants him to play as an organizational player...
This time I was blinded.
Merlot is not like this at all!
Letting him play a football player is like letting Li Kui play the Eastern Invincible.
In this time and space, although Melo had received two years of total offense and total defense training at Lazio, Chang Sheng still used him as a pure defender. Because at first he thought that Melo was a transitioner, he did not
He has put too much effort into it.
At most, let him be Modric's assistant.
Unexpectedly, Melo had an offensive heart. After moving to Juventus, his position gradually improved and he wanted to be a playmaker...
This is really a situation where mountains and rivers have not changed, and the two time and spaces have finally merged together.
Winning often can predict that if Melo continues to play this way, his performance will plummet next season, and he will eventually reach the same destination as he was in that time and space... by different routes.
It's a pity, but this is the path he chose, and he can't blame others.

As soon as Melo got the ball, he was immediately surrounded by Ledesma and Inler.
Ledesma is a defensive warrior who can give even the young genius Pato a headache, and Inler is not weak either.
Two people guarded Melo, and Melo immediately felt tremendous pressure.
As mentioned before, he is not a player who is good at controlling the ball. He used to play as a defensive midfielder and then as a transfer station. His specific job was to catch and pass the ball.
Now let him catch the ball, control the ball, dribble the ball, and finally send the football away.
The requirements are completely different.
His foot skills are simply not enough to support the task of firmly controlling the football under his feet in such a complex environment.
As soon as Ledesma interfered in front, Inler came up from the side and poked the football away.
Then Inle and Ledesma immediately dispersed.
Inler caught up with the ball and Ledesma opened the distance, forming an angle.
As soon as Inler caught up with the football, he passed it to Ledesma.
Even if Melo counterattacks immediately after losing the ball, he will not be able to grab the football.
If he goes to attack Ledesma, Ledesma can pass the football to anyone, or pass it to Inle next to him, and Melo will miss.

Melo lost the ball when two Lazio players were guarding him. At first, everyone thought it was an accident. Who can guarantee that he will not lose possession of the ball even once in a game?
But as the game progressed, everyone discovered that Melo lost a lot of balls and almost never successfully got the ball.
Moreover, the Lazio players seemed to have discussed it in advance. As soon as Melo got the ball, the two Lazio players closest to him rushed out immediately to interfere with him, causing him to either lose the ball or pass the ball hastily.
Go out - in that case, the passing accuracy is hard to say.
It was only then that I suddenly realized that it was premeditated and specifically targeted at Juventus midfielder Melo!
Ranieri also found out.
But he had no choice, because in the final stage of the league, Melo had always been the core of Juventus' midfield.
But I didn't expect Melo to be contained by Lazio so easily.
Even if he wanted to make temporary adjustments, there was no suitable person...
Juventus can give up Melo, but the problem is that no one can take over the task from Melo and lead Juventus to win...
Lazio knows Melo very well, to what extent do they know it?
Melo is well aware of every playing habit and has made targeted arrangements during the game.
They always force Melo to play in a way he is not used to.
For example, forcing him to control the ball with his left foot, which he is not used to, and then intercepting the ball with his left foot.
Another example is always forcing him to the point where he has to use his left foot to control the ball and pass the ball, and then you can imagine the quality of the football he passes.
In addition to targeting weak feet, Lazio also has many unique ways to deal with Melo. These cannot be studied by just watching game videos. Only those who really understand Melo know that they have to train with him for at least a season.
…
Lazio has this condition.
※※※
Under Lazio's pressing pressure, Melo lost the ball many times, and Juventus' offense could not be organized at all.
In the end, they could only play chaotic games. Juventus' offense had no structure. When it came to sleeping, everyone just sent it forward. Whether it was bringing it up or passing it up.
Melo, on the other hand, was left alone and helpless.
Lazio's lockdown has not abated.
It seems that Chang Sheng doesn't miss his old generals at all when facing them, and wants to kill them all.
But in fact, only Chang Sheng knew that he was helping Melo by doing this.
Whether a performance is good or not has no meaning to Melo's fate next season.
In that time and space, Melo played fairly well in the first season, but then he quickly started to go downhill the next season...
The second season is very important for Melo.
Chang Sheng will use this game to completely break Melo's heart of advocating being a playmaker...
Tell him with the cruel facts, don't be delusional, you can just be a blue-collar worker and become the world's number one blue-collar worker.
At the same time, he also told Ranieri not to use Melo as the core organizer... This Melo is still suitable for playing as a defensive midfielder and a midfield sweeper!
Melo, who can rest assured as a defensive midfielder, may become the world's top defensive midfielder and stay in the Brazilian national team for a long time.
Instead of coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry.
But people are always dissatisfied.
This is the advantage of human beings. Unfortunately, it is difficult to say if it falls on a specific person.
People always have things that are beyond their capabilities. For Melo, being an organizational core is beyond his capabilities.

Juventus was restricted because of Melo, and their offense was disorganized.
But here Lazio can get many opportunities to counterattack on the spot.
Because they can steal the ball directly from Melo's feet...
In the 33rd minute, Melo passed the football to the Lazio player...
Yes, I wrote it correctly and you read it correctly, Melo did pass the football to the Lazio players.
Under Bredesma's pressure, he made a mistake in the rush and transferred the ball directly, but the football was transferred to Modric's feet.
Modric was hitting the outside area at that time, preparing for a long shot.
The Juventus defender was fooled and turned his back to block, but Modric dunked the football lightly, wiped it away, and then continued to rush forward with the ball!
His sudden attack disrupted Juventus' defense.
So Lazio's defensive players rushed over in a swarm.
At this time, Modric showed in front of Melo what a real playmaker is!
Faced with this complicated situation, Modric remained calm. He did not rush to play the ball, but was observing.
Then he sent a through ball through the gap!
The ball slipped through the gap between two Juventus defenders.
Benzema came in from the back row at high speed, successfully countered offside, and he caught the ball!
"Benzema! He's in!"
"God! How did Modric see him?"
"A tacit cooperation!" Commentators from all over the country exclaimed.
Amid their exclamations, Benzema chose to volley in the face of Buffon!
The football flew forward quickly against the turf, and Buffon quickly jumped sideways.
His hand did touch the football!
But Benzema's kick was extremely fast, accurate and powerful. It was too fast and powerful enough. Although Buffon touched the football, he was unable to change the course of the football.
In the end, the football rolled tenaciously into Juventus' goal! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
