Chapter 247 Decisive Battle at the Top of Serie A
"No, no, no, it's impossible for us to catch up, Lazio is the champion!"

On April 4, at the press conference before the game, Juventus coach Allegri answered the reporter's question "Juventus's probability of winning" with a sincere face:

"Lazio's performance in the league is terribly stable, especially their offensive firepower, which has reached a terrifying level. I don't think our defense can prevent them from scoring goals.

If it is said that they were distracted from the Champions League before, there was still a little uncertainty, but now they are concentrating on the league, I really don't see them failing. "

Pioli behaved submissively:
"Eight points is not a safe bet, being out of the Champions League hit us hard and I'm still very upset to this day.

So we have to cheer up, tomorrow's game is very important for us, I hope everything goes well..."

Lu Feng, who hadn't shown his face at the press conference for a while, finally spoke:
"It's true that I regret being out of the Champions League, but that's football, that's life, and this defeat has taught me more than 100 victories.

Yes, my record of winning 100% of my appearances is still continuing. Although this record is meaningless for Lazio's Champions League road this season, but tomorrow's league... I will start again, and this record will definitely continue! "
-
On April 4, the most critical decisive battle of this season's Serie A kicked off at the Juventus Stadium.

"For Juventus, who are aiming to defend their title, only by winning this game with all their strength, can they postpone the suspense of the league title. For Lazio, who want to dominate Serie A, there is nothing better than beating Juventus. Convincing things."

The commentator He Wei cleared his throat and started his work:
"After the downturn at the beginning of the season, Juventus has 20 wins and 19 draw in the last 1 league rounds without a loss. They have even won 13 games at home and maintained a winning streak, showing a very strong performance."

Guest Xu Yang added with a smile:

"If you only look at the results of the last 20 rounds, Lazio is not as stable as Juventus."

He Wei nodded:

"That's right, Lazio secured the lead in many strong dialogues in the first half, and thus has been leading the standings so far.

Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides.The home team Juventus still has a three-back formation, goalkeeper Buffon, defender Barzagli, Bonucci... Oh, Juventus got a corner kick from Pogba's long-range shot! "

Pogba held his head in both hands in regret. His long-range shot was very sudden, but he didn't expect Marchetti's first reaction to be so fast, and he could only get a corner kick.

Hernanes took a corner kick from the left. Instead of looking for the forward Mandzukic who was huddling in front of the goal, he found Pogba who was ambushing in the back position again.

The French midfielder wanted to volley directly, but because he didn't aim in a hurry, it turned into a pass in front of the goal. Mandzukic stretched out his long legs in the crowd, and poked at the ball!
"The game lasted less than 3 minutes, and Juventus opened the scoring!"

He Wei's voice was full of surprise and surprise.

Of course he supports the team of the Chinese players, but... as a commentator, he also hopes that the games he explains will be exciting and exciting!

Xu Yang obviously agrees with him:
"For Lazio, conceding the goal first may not be a bad thing. The fighting spirit of the players may also be inspired by this conceding the goal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the two Juventus wingbacks retreating backwards, and the overall formation quickly changed from a 352 with both offense and defense to a 541 with defense first...

Allegri was not proud of the lead, but his expression became more and more nervous.

The loss of the first round made him more cautious than anyone else. He even told himself early on, don't think about the 8-point gap and the possibility of defending the champion, and don't regret the downturn at the beginning of the season. The most important thing now , Just play this game with all your strength!
Allegri's formation in this game has been greatly restricted. The main defender Chiellini is suspended. He is replaced by the 20-year-old Rugani. Marchisio is seriously injured. The hardness of the field has also been weakened, and on the offensive end, Spanish striker Morata is also suspended, and can only rely on the combination of Mandzukic and Dybala.

Having monopolized Serie A for many years, Juventus had already been fatigued by the inertia of the league champions, which led to the fact that they could not find their status in the first half of the season. However, the sudden rise of Lazio gave them a strong sense of crisis. The players finally regained their spirits from the sluggish state, and then ushered in an excellent record of 20 unbeaten rounds.

Compared with the first round of confrontation, today's Juventus is in a better state in terms of player morale and teamwork. Even though Lazio's offensive firepower is the best in Europe and Lu Feng has a "bad reputation", they still think they have The opportunity to delay Lazio's pace of winning.

Juventus deserves to be the overlord of Serie A. When they focus on defense, it is difficult for any opponent to break through their iron barrel formation. Every player, including the striker, has undertaken a considerable amount of defensive tasks, especially It was the Croatian striker Mandzukic who put in astonishing enthusiasm and energy when participating in the defense. For a long time, he even became a defensive midfielder!
In addition to pressing with all members, Juventus also showed the background of a top team. They did not give up the ball directly, and even took the initiative to use the pass from the midfield to control the rhythm of the game. For their tactics, Lazio It is also very helpless-after all, the technical ability of this group of Juventus players headed by Pogba and Dybala is still enough to be proud of Serie A.

The Bianconeri's tactics successfully continued until the 25th minute. Chiellini's absence finally exposed the problem. The young defender Rugani, who played as a temporary substitute, was only one step late in an assist defense, and Lu Feng dribbled in. restricted area!
Buffon, who attacked decisively, almost managed to catch the ball, but the ball just rubbed his fingertips and drew a parabola!

Bonucci flew towards the goal, trying to complete a barb clearance from the line, but unfortunately kicked the ball directly into the goal!
He Wei hesitated for a moment:
"Uh... Lazio equalized the score, the goal probably went to Bonucci..."

Xu Yang shrugged his shoulders:

"Bonucci has tried his best, at least he prevented Lu Feng's goal..."

Lu Feng curled his lips, and expressed his utmost respect for Bonucci's flying rescue - kicking his right leg so high could easily pull the muscles all over his body. If he was really injured, Juventus's The back line is equivalent to half collapsed! -
Bonucci didn't strain a muscle, but he had to support his teammates.

Lu Feng's strategy was very clear. He was attacking the area that Rugani was in charge of. The young defender had no way to stop his advance, so he could only rely on the help of his teammates to stand firm.

The reality is cruel. Some young players can seize the opportunity when they are in danger and gradually become the main force of the team, such as Iker Casillas, but more young players have to pay for their own strength and experience.
In the 31st minute, Lu Feng attacked Rugani's defense again. Even with the help of Sandro, Lu Feng still got an open space.

Bonucci had to step forward to make up for it, but just after he took two steps forward, the football was passed from Lu Feng's feet!

Inverted triangle pass? !

Bonucci didn't have time to brake and retreat, so he could only let the ball fly to the space behind him!
Klose, who had been guarded by him for half an hour, swept the ball and the ball went from Buffon's armpit into the net!

2-1!

Juventus once again prevented Lu Feng's breakthrough and goal, but failed to prevent Lazio from completing the reversal!
