Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 642
This secret disappointed Matri. What kind of bullshit secret is this? After thinking about it, it’s okay. In fact, professional players are not likely to confess which team they like. After all, this kind of influence is not very good.

Zhang Yuan and Matri had dinner leisurely, relaxed and at ease. This is not the normal state of the two of them, but the current state of mind of the Juventus players.

Lien Chan Lianjie, surpassing AC Milan by six points, brought Juventus a lot of things, such as self-confidence, the players are now full of self-confidence.

When the team is full of confidence in victory, Conte will definitely have a lot of homework. Juventus' immediate opponent is Lecce.

This opponent is unusual because of their current situation. Now they are ranked third from the bottom with 35 points, but Genoa, which is 17th above them, only has 36 points, and Fiorentina has 41 points.

What the Lecce team wants to do now is to put themselves against Genoa and step on Genoa's shoulders. There are still three rounds left in the league. They still have hope of relegation, but their schedule is obviously less Adverse.

Their opponent in the 36th round was Juventus, which was in full swing. Even if they didn't have that strength in this game, they could only bite the bullet and look forward to getting points from Juventus.

What Conte has to do is to resolutely kill Lecce's idea. Juventus also needs these three points. The gap of 5 points does not necessarily mean that Juventus has won the championship!
After the game against Inter Milan, Conte began to use the 352 formation position, which has a very good effect, and Juventus has also entered the winning streak. This game is no exception. Conte still uses it from the beginning 352 tactics.

The coach of the Lecce team, Cosmi, was suspended for this game. His assistant coach replaced him to direct the game, but Cosmi had already made sufficient plans for Lecce. They also played 352, but Cosmi's 352 did not The other purpose is to concentrate a large number of people in the midfield to strictly guard Juventus for defense.

Before the game, Cosmi claimed that he hoped that the team would not be afraid of the mighty Juventus and would defeat Juventus, but in fact, Cosmi was satisfied with scoring a point in the Juventus Arena.

So there is only one strategy for him and that is to defend and counterattack. If Juventus really overwhelms him with strength, Cosmi has nothing to say. the elements of.

Cosmi's tactical strategy is correct. First of all, he fought with Juventus in the midfield and disrupted Juventus's rhythm in various ways. So in fact, Lecce did not lose control of the ball after the game started. to the leeward.

This is very rare. Few teams in Serie A can do this. On the one hand, the Lecce players are very active and hardworking at such a critical moment. A little too lightly.

Zhang Yuan, Juventus' sharp knife man, played very poorly in the first half. Zhang Yuan wanted to win this game. He worked very hard and actively, and began to dribble frequently, but his success rate today is really impressive. Pointing out that he made 6 dribbles in the first half, but he only succeeded once, which is obviously not his normal level.

On the one hand, the Lecce team has a good defensive position and high density. When defending in the area, Cosmi's tactical intentions are relatively well executed. Zhang Yuan is often caught in double-teams and easily loses the ball. On the other hand, it is Zhang Yuan himself. His condition today is not very good.

Conte frowned on the sidelines. Juventus not only played badly with Zhang Yuan, but also with other players.

But it was Juventus who took the lead in the first half, and they temporarily led Lecce with a Marchisio goal in the middle of the first half.

Cosmi, who directed the game remotely, was still not in a hurry, and always let the team stick to the defensive counterattack tactics. During the intermission, he said to the Lecce players by phone: "Frustrated by the score of 0:1?! Boys, It's no big deal! 0:1 we still have hope at least, if it's 0:2, do we still have hope?! No, this is the Juventus Arena, until now no team can score here More than 2 goals! So we can't abandon our current tactics, we must continue to stick to this style of play, we will definitely have a chance in the second half!"

Cosmi swears, he really thinks so, so what about strong teams, strong teams may have one or two loopholes in every game, the key is that Lecce must seize the opportunity.

Conte did not scold the Juventus players loudly during the intermission, but pointed out everyone's shortcomings one by one, hoping that everyone can improve in the second half.

Juventus was not in good shape in the first half, but because of their strength, they still got the chance not to be shot. Unfortunately, they failed to score. Lecce goalkeeper Benassi played bravely today.

After the start of the second half, Juventus began to look a little conservative. They cared more about ball possession and defense. Zhang Yuan was obviously tired, and he was not active at all in running. Having said that, he was really tired this season, and his physical fitness reached the end of the season. The end has come to an end.

The Lecce team also adjusted their tactics a little in the second half, mainly because a few fast frontcourt players stepped forward to strengthen the frontcourt press against Juventus.

Juventus didn't make a single shot in the first 10 minutes after the start. Conte was speechless and understood. After all, this is a double match a week. Players will have various physical problems by the end of the season. situation.

Of course, the Lecce team is definitely not good. They only had two shots in the first half, and they have not shot in the second half so far.

In the 55th minute, the situation changed. Cuadrado and Caceres fought too much and was shown a yellow card by the referee. He had already received a yellow card before. Two yellows turned into one red, and he was sent off the court. .

Conte immediately made a substitution, letting Quagliarella replace Zhang Yuan, and letting Vucinic play as the second striker.

Zhang Yuan applauded and walked to the sidelines. This substitution did not make him feel dissatisfied. He himself was not satisfied with his performance, but he was always unable to exert himself. It was only natural that he was replaced.

"You played a bit badly today, don't be disturbed by things off the court!" Conte said, patting Zhang Yuan on the shoulder.

"No, coach! I can't do anything today!" Zhang Yuan said weakly.

Conte felt that Zhang Yuan was very abnormal, so he asked Zhang Yuan to go to the team doctor to have a look. Physical fitness might be a problem, but it wasn't enough for Zhang Yuan to run in the second half.

The team doctor did not find anything strange after examining Zhang Yuan, but after sitting on the bench for a while, Zhang Yuan began to feel unwell. !
Zhang Yuan went to the team doctor for a preliminary examination, and the team doctor discovered that Zhang Yuan had a cold!

"Go to the hospital after the game, I guess you have a cold!" team doctor Rigo said.

Now it can only be like this, Zhang Yuan felt that he was really strange, he didn't expect that he had a cold, no wonder he felt bored after playing on the field for a long time.

The game between Juventus and Lecce is still going on. After Cuadrado was sent off, Juventus started the bombing mode, but the final effect was zero. Statistics actually completed 8 saves.

In contrast, Buffon gave Lecce a big gift in the 85th minute. Barzagli's return pass was not big, but Buffon, who has always been a mess, stopped the ball directly. Muriel, Muriel made a cross, Bertolaci scored an empty goal, and the Lecce team miraculously equalized the score.

Buffon covered his face and was ashamed to face Jiangdong's elders. His mistake may ruin the Juventus champion. How can he not regret it.

In this way, the Lecce team actually scored a point in the Juventus Arena, which also interrupted Juventus' winning streak.

Conte was very helpless with this result, but he defended Buffon as soon as possible after the game, "Every player may make a mistake, and Gigi is just a mistake. It's nothing special. He is always Our reliance!"

As for Zhang Yuan, Conte also knew that Zhang Yuan was ill. He explained to the reporters: "Zhang Yuan caught a cold today and his physical strength was seriously exhausted, so I replaced him early!"

In this round, AC Milan won. They took all three points, and the point difference with Juventus was only three points. There were still two rounds in the league, but at the last moment, it was a toss. It is not yet possible to jump to conclusions about who the champion is.
