Chapter 334 What's so difficult about scoring a goal?
On the evening of October [-], at the Alpi Stadium in Turin, Italy.

In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Barcelona challenged Juventus away.

After all, it is an away game, coupled with the fact that the team is full of injuries, Barcelona played more cautiously away.

Juventus was more active. Capello didn't make too many changes in the starting lineup, but he made very interesting adjustments in the players' positions.

The front line is still the double striker combination of Ibrahimovic and Del Piero, but in the midfield position, Nedved stepped forward and took the position of the midfielder, suppressing Barcelona's midfielder behind the two strikers, and also stepped in to participate in the attack.

Blasi, Emerson and Camoranesi three players form the midfielder.

Juventus' formation looks like a four three one two.

This is somewhat beyond Barcelona's expectations.

Rijkaard's formation is not new, it is still Barcelona's regular four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Valdes, the defense is Van Bronckhorst, Oleg, Puyol and Belletti, the midfielder is Marcos, Deco and Xavi are in front, and the front trident is Ronaldinho, Su Dong and Iniesta.

Between Iniesta and Larsson, Rijkaard finally chose to listen to Su Dong's opinion.

Facts have also proved that Iniesta is more in tune with the team, cooperates more tacitly, and is more skilled in passing and receiving the ball.

But Juventus' style of play surprised Barcelona a bit, and they played more passively from the beginning.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was particularly active.

The Swedish center received a long pass from Gianluca Zambrotta in just 4 minutes of the game, trying to fight offside, but was ruled offside.

Ibrahimovic was so angry that he fought with the referee for a while before going back.

In the 8th minute, another cross from the left by Zambrotta, the Swedish center headed the goal from close range, slightly higher.

Soon, Zebina sent a direct pass, Piero almost formed a single-handedly.

It was not until the 10th minute that Barcelona took a long shot from Harvey, but it was a bit far away.

Juventus quickly fought back, and Ibrahimovic's angry shot was obtained by Valdes.

From the very beginning of the game, Juventus suppressed Barcelona, ​​especially the configuration of Nedved and the three midfielders, which suppressed Barcelona's midfield very painfully, and it was difficult for the midfield to transmit threatening attacks.

Ronaldinho was closely marked by Zebina on the left, and Iniesta on the right retreated more to respond to the midfielder. At the same time, the defense frequently attacked Zambrotta, which made it difficult for Barcelona to create opportunities on the wing.

The center is suppressed and the side lacks threats. Barcelona's offense can be imagined.

……

Su Dong stood alone at the front.

Wherever he went, Cannavaro and Thuram followed him.

At first, Su Dong didn't take them very seriously. After all, Cannavaro had competed in Inter Milan, but he didn't expect that after coming to Juventus, under the guidance of Capello, the combination of Cannavaro and Thuram turned out to be very difficult.

Even Cannavaro's mental outlook has changed.

He seems to have become very confident, very decisive.

Just when Su Dong was thinking about how to respond to the pass from the backcourt, there was a burst of exclamation at the Alpi Stadium.

I saw a long pass from the midfield and sent the ball directly to Barcelona's penalty area.

Relying on his height advantage, Ibrahimovic overwhelmed Puyol and Oleg, grabbed the best landing point, headed back to the front of the penalty area, and then Nedved, who inserted in, followed, and shot directly without stopping the ball.

This shot was very powerful, and the angle was very tricky.

Valdez was beyond his reach.

One to zero!The home team is temporarily in the lead!
Su Dong looked a little surprised near the center line. He didn't expect that Juventus' offense would be so simple and rude.

A direct long pass to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, after grabbing the first spot, Nedved followed up to grab the second spot and scored a goal.

This trick is very simple, right?But it works!
……

After scoring a goal, the Juventus fans at the scene cheered for a long time.

Although this season, Juventus' offense has been criticized a lot, and some people even think that Capello always lacks aggressiveness after leading by one goal and emphasizes defense too much, but it is undeniable that as long as a goal is scored, Juventus has never lost!
Not because of the lack of games, but because Juventus has an unbreakable steel defense.

As long as the goal is scored first, the consumption can kill the opponent alive!

Do not believe?

Look at the frustrated look of the Barcelona players after conceding the ball.

Before conceding the ball, they couldn't break through Juventus' goal, and it was difficult to create a threat. What can they do after conceding the ball?

After celebrating with his teammates, Ibrahimovic grinned at Sudong when he walked back to the center line.

"I said, I want to beat you!" The Swedish center pointed at Su Dong provocatively.

Su Dong looked at his teammates around him, and then at the triumphant Swedish center forward, feeling a little angry in his heart.

"Don't be so complacent, you didn't score this goal."

Ibrahimovic was in a very good mood, still smiling, "Don't worry, wait, I will score."

"Then wait until you enter!"

After finishing speaking, Su Dong ignored him.

"Hmph, wait, I'll show you a goal!" Ibrahimovic hummed secretly behind him.

Su Dong, who turned to leave, also had a frozen expression, and he never let it go.

Ibrahimovic's goal just now really stimulated him. This kid has been provoking him since he joined Juventus in the summer, and then let Larson speak. Although Larson said that this kid is a nervous and rebellious thorn, there is no need to care about him, but Su Dong still wants to teach him a lesson.

If you don't teach him a lesson, everyone will use him as a target in the future, won't he be shot every day?
However, Juventus' goal just now really inspired Su Dong.

If he wants to play high center forward, Su Dong is better than anyone else!

……

Like Benitez, Rijkaard is a head coach with obvious advantages and disadvantages, but the two are completely opposite.

Benitez's tactical literacy is very high, and he has a very obvious tactical style. He knows exactly what he wants, and he is also familiar with various tactics. Coupled with his personality, no matter what happens at any time, he can come up with a solution with ease.

But this also brings another problem, that is, he is very demanding on players, and he is not good at communication. Without the lubricant of Yesterdam, he will not be able to get along with anyone.

Rijkaard is on the contrary. Black Swan was born as a player. Although he also has some football ideas of his own, he seldom restrains the players, and more allows the players to play freely, especially the offensive players in the frontcourt.

The advantage is that the role of the individual player has been highlighted and becomes very important, and the individual performance will be excellent, but the disadvantage is that when the team is in trouble, he basically does not adjust much.

In other words, he couldn't come up with a good solution.

Therefore, on weekdays, when you see him putting his hands in his pockets on the sidelines, don’t think that he has the chance to win. In fact, it’s because he has nothing to do. Since there is no way, then look away and let the players have a headache!
It was the same against Juventus.

After the starting lineup was drawn, he basically didn't take care of it. At most, he reminded the players on the sidelines. As for how to play on the court and how the players perform, that is the problem that the players should solve themselves.

Taking advantage of the re-kick-off, Su Dong found Ronaldinho and Iniesta and expressed some of his thoughts.

Soon, Su Dong's ideas were conveyed to the midfield, including Deco, Harvey, Marcos, Puyol and others all knew about it.

……

After the game restarted, Juventus began to struggle.

This is also Capello's style.

As soon as you take the lead, let the opponent press out and fight, first base yourself on being undefeated, and then fight the opponent to counterattack.

In his theory, as long as I don't lose the ball, I won't lose!
It has to be said that Capello is the only one who is so successful and so successful!

But unfortunately, he didn't last long this time either.

Because unfortunately, the Barcelona he encountered also had a high center forward, even better than Ibrahimovic, with a more obvious tactical role.

"Su Dong!!!"

When the live broadcast uttered an exclamation, Su Dong was standing outside the arc top of the penalty area, with his back facing the attacking direction, supported Thuram with his body, and stopped the long pass from Harvey in the midfield with his chest out.

As soon as the ball hit the ground, Su Dong immediately turned to the right, took the ball two steps to the right in small steps, and instantly attracted the attention of Thuram, Cannavaro, Emerson and Blasi around him.

When Juventus' defensive players in the midfield noticed, Su Dong suddenly sent a short pass.

I saw a slippery and thin figure, who quickly wrote from the ribs, and after receiving Su Dong's pass, he waded directly into the penalty area and rushed to Cannavaro's side.

Before Cannavaro turned around, seeing Zambrotta next to him approaching, Iniesta made a horizontal pass with his right foot.

The ball passed from behind Cannavaro and Thuram to the left of the penalty spot.

Ronaldinho, who was still outside the penalty area just now, quickly inserted into the penalty area. When Iniesta's cross came to him, the Brazilian superstar volleyed.

Although Buffon is a world-class goalkeeper, even though he has reacted early and tried to fly sideways, but facing Ronaldinho's shot from close at hand, the Juventus goalkeeper is still helpless.

One to one!

Ronaldinho was so excited that he jumped up and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.

Su Dong and Iniesta also rushed over immediately.

Less than 10 minutes after conceding the goal, Barcelona equalized the score!

……

When Su Dong returned to the center line and met Zlatan Ibrahimovic again, the Swedish center had a sullen face, but he himself was cheerful, smiling, and felt that he deserved a beating.

"Isn't it just to score a goal? What's the problem?"

Ibrahimovic almost went crazy!
