When Benzema fired the football into the goal guarded by Buffon, the already noisy Alpi Stadium suddenly fell silent.
The Juventus players looked back as the ball rolled into the net and Benzema ran with arms outstretched in celebration.
Someone raised his arm to indicate that Benzema was offside.
But this time, the referee did not help them. The referee blew the whistle and made a gesture that the goal was valid!
"There is no problem with this goal! Modric's passing timing and Benzema's movement are both perfect!"
"Melo should really take a closer look, he is called the core of the organization!"
While the commentator was cheering for Benzema's goal, he also did not forget to disgust Melo.
In fact, Melo is indeed looking at Modric.
After only one season, Modric's performance has already made him unrecognizable.
Under the double-team of three people, he calmly protected the football, then observed the surrounding situation, and finally passed the football to the right position at the most appropriate time, giving Benzema a chance to score...
…
This kind of performance was not very common last season.
Modric has made great progress...
Melo turned back to look at the visiting team's coaching bench off the court.
Chang Sheng was standing there, applauding and celebrating Benzema's goal.
Under this man, everyone seems to have made remarkable progress.
I think back then, I was like this too.
Until he decided to leave.
If he had not chosen to leave, would he have made more and greater improvements like Modric and Benzema now?
It's a pity that these have become "what ifs" and "what ifs" now.

When Lazio scored, the Lazio fans in the stands let out huge cheers. Taking advantage of the moment when the Juventus fans were distracted, they finally made their voices heard.
Of course, soon, the Juventus fans reacted and silenced the Lazio fans with huge boos.
When the game restarted, Juventus, which had lost the goal, launched a fierce attack on Lazio's goal amid the cheers of the home team fans.
Faced with such a fierce offensive from the opponent, Lazio did not panic.
When the football was at their feet, they kept passing the ball and controlling the ball to defend, slowing down Juventus' offensive rhythm. It was like creating a swamp for Juventus players to step into.
I got stuck and couldn't 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 the fight. Such behavior is really disgusting!
At the same time, Juventus' offense was unable to launch because of Lazio's defensive strategy.
All in all, the kick was all kinds of awkward and uncomfortable.
As a result, until the end of the first half, Juventus was unable to regain the score through offense.
The score is still 1:0, with Lazio leading away from home.
This first half made Juventus very depressed.
They feel that they are obviously powerful, but they just can't try it out. They are just like the adventurers in the swamp now. No matter how much strength they have, it will be useless.

At halftime, 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 didn't explain much, but everyone understood that this was because Melo's performance in the first half was so bad.
Even because of his poor performance in the first half, it affected the performance of the whole team...
So if Melo is replaced, no one will feel dissatisfied or confused.
Melo is very angry. He feels that he has become the scapegoat for the team's bad situation. If Juventus finally loses the game, he will be pushed out as an excuse...
That's what Ranieri did!
He clenched his fists tightly.
But a minute later, he unclenched his fist again.
Because he has no meaning at all except being angry with himself.
The arms cannot twist the thighs...
For the first time in a season, Melo regretted transferring to such a team...

"You did a great job, guys. We were ahead of them by one goal in the first half. But that's not enough, we have to lead them even more! We have to completely destroy their morale and confidence! What the Juventus fans said
Yes, this game is indeed a very symbolic game. We want to use this game to tell everyone, all those who spy on our throne - go to hell! This is the era of our rule! Either take the initiative
Surrender to us, or tremble under our swords!"
In the locker room, Chang Sheng is continuing to encourage the players.
We led by one goal in the first half. This score is very delicate. If we don't concentrate at the beginning of the second half, we may lose the goal.
In that case, the one-goal lead is gone in the blink of an eye. What's the point?
Therefore, Changsheng requires every player to concentrate on every minute of this game.
You know, this is not only about the championship, but also about face.
※※※
Chang Sheng was surprised when he found out that Melo had been replaced just at the beginning of the second half.
He knew that Melo's performance was not good, but he did not expect that Melo would leave the game so soon.
The game is only half-way through...
At this moment, everyone knew that it was Melo's poor performance that caused Juventus to fall behind.
If Juventus finally loses, Melo will never be able to escape the infamy of being the culprit.
But Chang Sheng will not show mercy just because he doesn't want Melo to bear this reputation.
This game must be won, and the arrogance of Juventus fans must be severely dealt with!
What era are you in, and you still imagine that you are the boss of Italy?
In the second half, Juventus did not attack smoothly because of Melo's dismissal.
Del Piero even had to sacrifice his scoring and return to midfield to try to organize.
But in fact, he has always been a shadow forward, not an attacking midfielder, and organizing offense is not his specialty...
Juventus relies more on fighting alone more often than not.
It's okay to say this, but the most deadly thing comes from their defense.
After selling the unreliable Chiellini to Lazio, they found that they could not find a suitable central defender!
The purchased Portuguese central defender Andrade was injured after just four games when he came to the team, and he was reimbursed for the entire season!
Grigla's performance was also inconsistent.
But you have to make do with instability because there is no center back available.
Juventus' current starting center backs are Grigra and Lerottaglie.
This is Juventus's shortcoming. Both of their performances were average.
Lazio kept attacking these two people, knowing that they could not resist the position.
This is a bit like the 2000 European Cup final. When the French team was lagging behind, they repeatedly attacked the right defense line guarded by Cannavaro. Finally, when the game was about to end, the rock-solid Cannavaro also
Unable to resist, he fell to the ground. Then... Italy was defeated by France.
What Lazio, now a victorious team, is doing is somewhat similar to what it did back then.
It's just that they took turns attacking the two central defenders, mainly looking for Grigra.
Although Falcao has not scored a goal in this game until now, his activity in the penalty area has put a lot of pressure on the two central defenders.
For this reason, they didn't even care about other Lazio players.
In the 63rd minute, Lazio scored another goal!
This is fatal!
The goal scorer is Benzema again!
"Karim Benzema!!!" the commentator shouted. "This is his eighteenth league goal this season! He scored twice in this game! This goal fully reflects his
Speed! A beautiful counterattack! Lazio made a long pass directly from the backcourt to Falcao, and Falcao passed the football to Benzema. Benzema could give full play to his speed advantage... and then the football went in...
Buffon was helpless against Benzema's second one-on-one attack! But he is not to blame for conceding the goal, because Juventus's 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 argue with the referee.
※※※
Chang Sheng waved his fist off the court.
Stable!
The victory of this game is guaranteed!
At this time, he heard huge boos from the stands.
He knew the boos were directed at him and Lazio.
This is the desperate far bark of the negative dogs.
Juventus fans can only express their dissatisfaction in this way.
It's a pity...
Of no use.
Chang Sheng shrugged and turned to challenge the Juventus fans.
He put his index finger to his lips and made a shut-up gesture to the Juventus fans.
Of course, it was impossible for the Juventus fans to really shut up. Their boos became even louder, mixed with some abuse.
Their boos completely drowned out the cheers of Lazio's "Uncultivable" fans.
Chang Sheng continued to provoke them. He picked out his ears with his hands, as if he still thought the boos were not loud enough.
As he wished, the booing became louder again.
This time, Chang Sheng simply put his hands behind him and acted like he was listening.
The Juventus fans wanted to boo louder, but the force made their throats hoarse and their voices became quieter.
Obviously the boos at the Alpi Stadium were lowered to a lower level, and you could even hear the cheers of Lazio fans...
Then Chang Sheng smiled.
He took his hand back and turned back to the coach's bench.
Behind him were the roars and middle fingers of Juventus fans.
"You son of a bitch Chinese!"
"Go back to China and eat shit! Pigs!"
"A splash!! You're a fucking bastard!"
"I'm going to kill you! Bastard!"
…
Chang Sheng turned a deaf ear to this.
These verbal attacks did no real harm to him.
It would make those Juventus fans angry.
They were still angry after losing the game. 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 can't even match the fighting ability of a person who has always won... (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better updated. Faster!)
