Chapter 208

"Angel? It's indeed a good name."

Caroline wanted to say it was a bit vulgar, but the name carried Edward's best wishes for the child, so there was no way to say it.Popular names are better than ingenious ones, and besides, the rich family's child's name doesn't affect her social life, only the poor family's children are ridiculed because of their names.

The two talked for a while, and Caroline said, "Turn on the TV, I want to watch the game."

Edward knew that Caroline did it on purpose, but since she was so considerate, Edward also complied with her.Originally, the TV in the delivery room was used for her to relieve stress, but it was not used at all.

When the TV was turned on, 27 minutes into the game, the score was still 0:0.No surprises, no frights.

"Eddie, will we win today?" Living in Berlin for so long, Union Berlin has become Caroline's home team.

"Of course, no one can stop us." Edward emphasized again: "No one!"

In fact, he has no confidence in his heart. Although AC Milan lost to Union Berlin, and Juventus lost to AC Milan in the previous Champions League final, football is not calculated in this way. ?
Lippi's team is more secure in defense than Ancelotti's team. They are almost a representative of negative games. Except for counterattacks, they play very slowly and steadily. In this case, they want to play away. The ball is not easy.

Juventus' defense is a typical Italian chain defense. Their defensive experience can be called reinforced concrete defense. Although Thuram is old, he is still the best central defender in the world. He is black, hard and fast He is smart and has the same experience as a champion. His partner Juliano is not that famous, but his strength is also quite strong. Zambrotta is the main right back of the Italian national team and one of the best right backs in Serie A. Able to attack and defend well, he will play for Barcelona in the future.

And standing in front of the Juventus goal is Buffon. The teenager Buffon has played from this time until Edward's rebirth and has not fucking retired. His debut is the peak. The peak period lasted for nearly 20 years. Occasionally, he almost played for a while. , but he is one of the top three goalkeepers in world football every year.

This kind of defense is no worse than the Berlin Union's defense line, and may even be stronger than the Berlin Union's defense line because of experience.

Especially after Union Berlin played a counterattack, Juventus saw the deadly counterattack speed of Union Berlin, and decided to stay in the backcourt with peace of mind. They completely started to defend and counterattack.

Ronaldinho's cut-in pass really scared them. Robben cut in from the right to catch the ball and volleyed. It almost went through the Juventus goal. Unfortunately, his shot was slightly higher. If the beam is removed, the difference is a thousand miles away.

Their wind-like counterattack speed made Juventus, who had no way to limit them, completely decided to focus on defensive IQ. Lippi continued to command from the sidelines to keep the players focused and focus on dealing with the two sides of Union Berlin. Players, today is the home game. If you concede a goal, it will be a big deal. Although Ah has not yet reached the knockout round, the home game is also very important to them. There is a big gap between the first group and the second group. If the group is second If you appear, you may encounter a wealthy family and go home directly.

With the addition of two defensive midfielders returning to the defense together, Ronaldinho and Robben have a lot less room to move on the wing, while Juventus' offense relies entirely on long passes to find the frontcourt, and their midfield movement is blocked. Fragmented.

Lippi didn't have a good solution, or he didn't need a solution at all. Juventus was just preparing to play a defensive counterattack, and now their tactics have not deviated at all.This can also make up for one of their weaknesses, that is, their age is much older than that of Union Berlin. The players of Union Berlin are young and physically fit. If they really let go and play for 70 minutes, Juventus may be down. Playing like this now is not a waste of physical energy, and waiting for work at leisure just consumes Union Berlin.

Boas complained in his heart that Juventus is shameless, a good giant defends thoroughly at home, but he had expected the scene of the game before the game. There are not many teams in European football who dare to play against Union Berlin. There are only a few, but there will be absolutely no Serie A teams.

Union Berlin's counterattack speed is quite unfriendly to the Serie A teams with older players. One mistake will break through the defense line, and the brain is not good enough to play against them.Especially today is a home game, the home team will tend to be conservative at home, or the reason just now for away goals.

Anyway, Nedved of Juventus can basically solve all the problems. Piero and Trezeguet in front also have good personal abilities. It is good to watch them perform when they counterattack.

At this time, the Union Berlin players also felt something strange in their hearts. The defense of Juventus was actually stronger than that of AC Milan.

Although AC Milan's defense is very good, they can often find loopholes that can be exploited, but today's Juventus, they can't find a chance to attack and let the ball penetrate the defense line, so they can only pass as many as possible. Luo Ze came to head the ball.

But when Juventus's defense is neat, it is very difficult for Klose to pick two. Thuram's body can hold two not-so-thin Klose, he is a city wall!
However, Juventus still has a weakness, that is, Union Berlin's frontcourt pressing is very strong, but when it comes to that side, the two forwards will not defend at all, Piero and Trezeguet don't care about this problem.

It's not a problem with the players, but that forwards in football rarely have defensive responsibilities.Union Berlin's tactics are too advanced. Even if some teams have begun to try to imitate, it is difficult to achieve immediate results. It will be very difficult for these big names to change their way of playing football.

The situation on the field is also different. Union Berlin's passes and receptions are pleasing to the eye, and the attack is like mercury pouring down the ground, but once it enters the area covered by the Juventus defense line, the attack cannot advance.

And Juventus looks very passive, but they have not been tested too much. They have been relying on long passes from the backcourt to counterattack, and then let the two superstars Nedved and Del Piero rely on their personal abilities to attack.

Especially on the left, the famous Del Piero area.

The Piero area refers specifically to Piero's peak period. He can score in any way near the opponent's left penalty area at will, so that area is called the Piero area!Del Piero hits the goal very well here, leaving many classic goals.

His attack on the left is very threatening, but fortunately Maicon seldom presses up today, and Piero didn't get too good a chance.

So there is not much to watch in the game now, only Union Berlin's offense is relatively good, but there is no way to penetrate Juventus' penalty area, and the fans in front of the TV are a little impatient.

Edward feels that today's game may rely on set kicks to break the deadlock. In this case, the role of set kicks will be infinitely magnified. Ronaldinho and Harvey Alonso's free kicks can be used as attacking weapons.

But what he didn't expect to score first would be Juventus, and the way of scoring was exactly the free kick he thought.

In the 35th minute, after Del Piero was pushed by Maicon on the left, Juventus got a free kick 32 meters away from the goal.

The Zebra Prince took the penalty himself. He stood on the left and broke through the goal of Union Berlin with a strange arc.

This goal completely ignited Juventus's home court.

"Juventus warriors all have a black and white heart, Juventus team logo, Juventus team logo, you take us to the arena you desire to conquer, where you go, there is our common story, only running can Prove that you belong to this team, Juventus, you are great love, white embraces black, people stand up and sincerely cheer for you, wherever you take us, we are all a festive landscape, one hug is not enough, You know, every new page, there will be our common story, only running can prove yourself, Juventus, you are a great love..."

Listening to the Juventus team song, Edward's expression was extremely gloomy.This goal made Union Berlin very passive, and Juventus and others will recover more thoroughly.

Piero, who scored the goal, jumped high on Trezeguet. This goal made the Zebra Prince very excited.Although he knew that the opponent was difficult to deal with before the game, he did not expect the process of the game to be like this. Fortunately, he scored the first goal for the team.

The more difficult the game, the more exciting it is to score goals.

Boas stared blankly at the field. He didn't expect the team to concede the ball under such circumstances. What should we do now?Put on a striker to strengthen the attack?His mind was very confused, and he couldn't think of a reasonable countermeasure for a while.

After the game restarted, Union Berlin's offense became very aggressive. These young people couldn't accept this situation. They besieged the opponent's goal for half an hour, and then they fell behind?

When they first arrived in Turin, they came here with the mentality of vacation, but now they were beaten in the face, which made the group of young people go crazy in an instant.It is no surprise that Nesta is definitely behind. Union Berlin is very strong, but the mentality of the players is not very good now. These young people have floated to the sky and look down on all teams at all.

As a player from Serie A, Nesta knows how difficult it is to deal with Juventus. Lippi is very cunning, so he has the nickname of Silver Fox.It will be very difficult for them to get out of this game today.

Union Berlin brazenly launched an attack on the Juventus penalty area. It doesn't matter if they can't get in. Long-range shots, endless long-range shots, basically they have the ability to take a kick. They are bound to win today's game. This is their first Champions League game In the league, whether it is to get three points or dignity, they must win, otherwise their rhetoric on the plane before returning to Berlin will become a joke.

At the end of the first half, Robben took the initiative to find the Juventus defender after entering the penalty area. He even offered his leg to the opponent, just for a penalty. Of course, this kind of trick cannot be successful, because this He also received a yellow card for the incident.

At halftime, the score was still Juventus leading 1-0. Juventus fans laughed at Union Berlin unscrupulously.Because of Robben's diving, because of their fear of Union before the game, whatever it was, their words were hard to hear.Nesta listened to the familiar Italian without any intimacy. He frowned and pushed his teammates back to the player channel.

This is the Champions League, and these children cannot be allowed to cause trouble. As the captain, he has the responsibility to protect his teammates.

He even ignored the provocations of the Juventus players.

Arguing with each other at this time can easily make teammates anxious, and they must not be allowed to succeed.

Nesta always remembers that he is the captain of his teammates, the second oldest player on the field, the big brother trusted by his teammates, and the defense core and leader of the Italian national team.

His every move affects his teammates.

"Let's go, they're just a bunch of filthy villains, let them know who's the boss with their strength in the second half."

Back in the locker room, Nesta rarely stood up, looked at the young faces around and said: "Today's game is not a simple game, we came too relaxed, and this is my responsibility."

Although he has been vigilant, but did not remind his teammates, Nesta is definitely his mistake.

"Juventus are very strong, their defense is very strong, they will strengthen their defense in the second half, so it will be very difficult for us to equalize..."

Boas, who had already walked to the door of the locker room, decided to wait a while and let Nesta finish talking before going in.

"You have also seen Del Piero's personal ability. Juventus has many powerful stars, so we must correct our mentality. In the second half, we must seize every opportunity to score goals, so that our first trip to the Champions League will be successful. A good start, I have nothing more to say."

At this time, Boas opened the door and walked into the locker room: "I just got the news that Mr. Chairman just gave birth to a daughter, and now he must be watching the ball in front of the TV. If you are also happy for the birth of the little princess , should bring home a victory."

The news of Edward's daughter shattered the solemnity of the dressing room just now, and the players immediately started talking about it.

"No wonder Mr. Chairman didn't come to Turin. He was born during the competition."

"The little girl was born in this game, which has a special meaning. This game has a lot to do with her. Should we let this child recall that Union Berlin lost a game when she was born?"

"No, it's impossible!"

Xiao Luo shouted loudly, and he and Robben looked at each other.

The dormitory of the two of them, Edward, is a regular visitor. In their minds, Edward is like a big brother, even more affectionate than his biological brother. If they can't win a game at this time, they feel that they have no way to forgive themselves.

The eyes of both of them were burning with flames. Today's game can only be won!
