Chapter Eleven Header Goal

,

spn Cesena is a team that has been lingering in Serie C and B for a long time. It is not very strong, but it has trained two national team coaches: from 1977 to 1982, Sacchi's coaching career began with the Cesena youth team.

In 1989, Lippi made his debut in Serie A as the head coach. In that season, he led Cesena to successfully avoid relegation. The international player who played for Milan also played here. Ambrosini grew up in Cesena. On October 1, 1994,

Ambrosini performed well in his first appearance in Serie B. In that season, Ambrosini played a total of 24 times and scored 1 goal. The next year, Ambrosini became Milan coach

players made their first appearance in Serie A.

Their task this year is still to avoid relegation, and they don't attach much importance to the Italian Cup. Of course, they are also happy to see that they can successfully block Juventus.

Cesena's home stadium, the Dino Manuzzi Stadium, has a high attendance rate today. Fans hope to see their team defeat the previous Serie A champion at home.

With the cheers of the fans, the game started soon. Cesena's strategy was also to defend and counterattack. Of course, at home, they would not blindly defend like Pescara. In order to gain something, timely counterattacks were also necessary.

Juventus' young players played proactively from the start, firmly controlling the midfield and launching effective attacks frequently. Suddenly, the Cesena goal was surrounded by dangers, and a goal could be scored at any time, but just then

At this time, Margioni's breakthrough was intercepted by the opponent Zannineri. Zannineri made a long pass and passed the ball to the feet of his forward striker Delcol, who received the pass and quickly led the way.

The ball broke through and entered the Juventus half. Kovac stepped forward to block it, successfully forcing Delcol to the wing and losing the opportunity to directly threaten the goal. In desperation, Delcol could only choose to pass from the bottom.

Looking up at his teammates who were outflanking him in front of the goal, Delcol made an emergency stop to escape and passed in [

After discovering the ball flying in the air from the cross, Juventus right back Balzaretti, who had just returned to the goal, jumped in panic and headed the ball to clear the ball without judging the landing point. The ball hit his head and went straight to the upper left corner of his own goal.

The ball went in, but Buffon, who was standing in front of the goal, didn't react at all. It was an own goal from a defender, the most demoralizing own goal. Balzaretti lay on the grass for a long time in frustration without getting up.

In the twelfth minute, Juventus, playing away from home, gave a big gift and fell behind Cesena 0-1.

"Goooool! There's nothing more wonderful than that. The opponent's player scores a goal, but we are in the lead!" Leander, the commentator of the local sports station, joked at the scene.

Seeing this scene, Deschamps on the sidelines threw the water bottle in his hand angrily.

Although he was prepared to fall behind before the game, he did not expect that Cesena's goal would be scored by his own players.

The fans' enthusiastic celebrations filled Dino Manuzzi Sports. The Juventus bench, which was completely silent, was particularly conspicuous in this wave of celebration. They still don't believe anyone. A team that counterattacked them fell behind.

"Unlucky, it's hard to play today!" The captain, who just returned from the European Cup, still has some physical problems and did not start this game. Del Piero looked at his teammates on the field and said anxiously.

Juventus, who unexpectedly fell behind, naturally counterattacked with all their strength in the subsequent games and launched a series of fierce attacks towards the opponent's hinterland.

Press on Cesena's half and start a half-court attack and defense.

In the 34th minute, Juventus had a chance to counterattack in the frontcourt. Nedved got the ball in the frontcourt, easily got rid of a defensive player and passed the ball to Frenchman Trezeguet. The latter immediately shot with his right foot after taking the ball.

The ball missed the baseline slightly.

Deschamps anxiously stood on the sidelines and waved his hands frequently to signal the players on the field to attack. This almost life-threatening style of play finally paid off.

In the stoppage time of the first half, Juventus' frontcourt attack finally paid off. Balzaretti assisted to the left baseline and unexpectedly passed the ball back to Bodinov in the middle. Bodinov caught the ball at the edge of the penalty area.

The kick was a shot, and the ball went directly into the far corner of the goal. Cesena's goalkeeper Saadi could only watch the ball and sigh, a shot that made waves all over the world.

gol! 1 to 1, Juventus finally equalized the score.

"Great job!" Li Yu on the bench waved his arms and shouted loudly, with an excited face and no sleepiness at all. It seemed that he was in good condition tonight.

At the beginning of the second half, Juventus, unwilling to settle for a draw, stepped up their efforts in the frontcourt and attacked the opponent's goal with increasing force.

In the 55th minute, Gianni Keda received a pass from Zanetti in the frontcourt and drove the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle from the left. Trezeguet, who was first in the middle, met the ball and lightly headed the ball.

Bodinov, who was outflanking the back point, followed up with a shot and hit the goal. The ball missed a little and flew directly to the baseline.

In the 64th minute, Balzaretti, who wanted to make up for the mistake, made a breakthrough pass from the left. Trezeguet in the middle beat the opponent's defender Zannineri and headed the ball. The ball was hit by the opponent's goalkeeper Saadi with both fists.

In the 70th minute, Deschamps finally made the decision to make a substitution. Li Yu replaced the goal hero Bodinov. Deschamps had used Li Yu as a substitute for three consecutive games, but this time he could not take the lead.

Next, sending him on the field shows Deschamps' trust in him.[

After Li Yu came on the field, he ran back and forth in the frontcourt and was aggressive with the ball. Li Yu, who had initially adjusted to playing football at night, was obviously in a different state today.

Now whenever he gets the ball, he can create a threat to the opponent's goal.

What frustrates the opponent's defensive players the most is that they often run desperately to get close to Li Yu. No amount of pulling or collision can stop the recent player's progress. Seeing that Li Yu is about to dribble the ball into the penalty area, he is helpless.

The opponent's defender Zannineri had no choice but to tackle Li Yu from behind. When the referee came over, he showed him a red card without hesitation and sent him off the field.

Nedved's free kick hit the wall and went out of the baseline. Juventus continued to get opportunities for corner kicks. Li Yu stood in the crowd and stared at Nedved who took the corner kick.

"Calm down, I must judge the landing point of the ball and complete the attack!" Li Yu stood on the spot, silently chanting in his heart to encourage himself.

The ball had just taken off from the baseline, "Point forward!" Li Yu, who was standing on the spot, quickly judged the landing point, bypassed the defender in front of him, and ran forward in a circle.

Trezeguet, who was originally standing at the front, had leaned on the defender behind him and was about to jump up and shake his head to attack the goal. However, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He quickly jumped high into the air and used all the strength of his waist and abdomen to rush to attack the goal with his head.

The goal, a powerful header shot hit the turf in front of the goal and reversed the goal. This kind of reverse kick in front of the goal is every goalkeeper’s nightmare. Although Cesena goalkeeper Saadi wanted to prevent the nightmare from happening,

He still didn't react in time and the ball went in.

"Gooool! No. 85 Lee scored a goal. The nightclubs in Turin failed to squeeze out all his abilities!" Commentator Leandre announced the goal and did not forget to ridicule Li Yu.
