Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 650 The Amateur
This kind of tactical thinking is completely a last resort. Conte's purpose is to maximize the use of Zhang Yuan. He hopes that Zhang Yuan's sharp knife can reflect its value and bring huge pressure to Naples to force the opponent to withdraw.

One of the main reasons why Naples' formation forward attack works is that they can still maintain the stability of the formation. Several lines are relatively compact and there is no disconnection.

And Conte's direct approach to playing Zhang Yuan is to force Naples to pay attention to their backs. If they can teach them a little lesson, it is impossible for Mazzarri not to pay attention to the retreat of the defense line. They must shorten the distance between the goalkeeper and the back line to avoid A similar threat arises again. Once the defensive line retreats, the midfield will also retreat. If they do not retreat, the formation will become fragmented, which is beneficial to Juventus.

It didn't take long for Conte's response to bring troubles to Naples. Juventus' long pass skills in the backcourt are good, and Zhang Yuan's running position is also very flexible.

Juventus rarely use long passes directly at Zhang Yuan, but often like to play between the two central defenders, on the left and right sides. To put it bluntly, let Zhang Yuan and the Naples defenders chase the ball. occupying an advantage.

In the 21st minute, Pirlo made a long pass from the backcourt and hit behind Cannavaro Jr. and Aronika. While chasing, Zhang Yuan was signaled to be offside, but the line referee didn't indicate anything.

Zhang Yuan chased the ball like a gust of wind, Naples retreated quickly, Cannavaro Jr., Aronika, and Campagnaro had no choice but to give up their lives to chase.

The ball was thanks to Reina, Reina attacked immediately, Zhang Yuan got the ball near the penalty area line, and wanted to change direction to pass Reina, but Reina was very smart, he turned sideways at the right time and used Zhang Yuan's ball to give It was intercepted!

To be precise, he intercepted the ball with his hand, and the location was a little outside the penalty area, but Reina's body was in the penalty area. After the interception, he shrank slightly and was in the penalty area, so at first glance Na looks like he made a successful interception in the penalty area.

But Zhang Yuan could see it very clearly. He clapped his hands and complained to the referee, "Handball! Handball! He handballed outside the penalty area!"

The referee made a gesture of waving his hand to indicate that the ball was not fouled, and the game continued. Reina didn't dare Zhang Yuan, and directly threw the ball quickly, waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

"You just played handball!" Zhang Yuan said angrily to Reina in Spanish.

"Yeah, I got a handball!" Reina replied with his hands outstretched, "but the referee is the boss!"

Zhang Yuan was so angry with Reina that his teeth itch, this guy's way of doing nothing to me is really irritating.

"Okay, little guy! There are misjudgments in every game, right?! Work hard!" Renner patted Zhang Yuan on the head. He definitely didn't have a friendly tone, but wanted to provoke Zhang Yuan's anger.

"Wait and see, there is something for you!" No matter how angry Zhang Yuan was, he had no choice but to fight with Reina verbally, and left with a harsh word.

Naples is lucky this time, but Mazari knows very well that this cannot continue, and sooner or later the ship will capsize.

Conte changed his approach to the enemy, and Mazari had to change too, otherwise Juventus might have beaten himself into a sieve before he scored another goal.

So Naples reluctantly took it back, Juventus took advantage of the situation, and the two sides returned to the midfield. Juventus's offense gradually improved, and Zhang Yuan also got 2 shots. But he missed.

At the end of the first half, the score remained at 1:0, with Naples leading by one goal.

Conte didn't make too many adjustments during the halftime break, just fine-tuning some defensive details.

He is quite optimistic about the situation, because it can be seen that Juventus has gradually gained the upper hand, but today's goal movement is really not good, Zhang Yuan and Vidal each wasted a good opportunity.

But if you continue to play like this, and Naples does not put the bus, Juventus goals will come sooner or later.

Mazari has not made major adjustments either. He still wants to restrict Juventus from the midfield. The striker still has to force the Juventus defender to play the ball as soon as possible. According to his thinking, as long as his team can score another goal, You can win this game.

Therefore, the situation at the beginning of the second half of the two sides is still the same. Juventus once again controlled the situation in just a few minutes of the opening. It is difficult for Naples to find opportunities for a quick counterattack, but they will also have sporadic offensives.

When the game progressed to the 56th minute, Naples got a right corner kick.

Like other teammates, Zhang Yuan returned to the penalty area to defend the corner kick. Hamsik's corner kick went straight to the middle of the penalty area. Cavani got a chance to attack from the crowd and bounced the ball. The ball went slightly to the back post. Go, Storari has quick eyes and quick hands, and blocked the ball when he fell to the ground, but this kind of ball is difficult to judge, and the distance is so close, Storari only made actions based on subconscious reactions.

Taking advantage of Zhang Yuan's stupefaction, Campagnaro followed up with a supplementary shot, but unfortunately the ball was quickly blocked by Storari with a side throw.

But the story is not over yet, the ball was blocked to the left side of the small penalty area, Lavitch quickly inserted and volleyed again.

Zhang Yuan has already reacted at this time. He happened to be on Lavezzi's shooting route, but he definitely couldn't block the ball with his body. Storari went to the end, Lavezzi's shot can be said to be an empty goal, and he must score undoubtedly.

Zhang Yuan didn't know what to think in his head at this time, anyway, he was in a hurry, this goal can't be scored, it will be difficult to score in Juventus!
He raised his legs and stretched out his hands, frantically blocking the trajectory of the football!

This action was definitely a coincidence. The ball was blocked, and Ravitch immediately started slapping his arms and shouting loudly, "Handball, handball! This is definitely a handball! Penalty kick, this is definitely a penalty kick!"

The players in the penalty area of ​​Naples, who were still in charge of the ball, surrounded the referee one after another, asking for an explanation.

Today's referee is Farino, and his position is not bad. Although Zhang Yuan is sideways, he still sees that Zhang Yuan did block the ball with his hands.

Without waiting for the excessive urging from the Naples players, he went directly to Zhang Yuan and wanted to show Zhang Yuan a red card. The Juventus players surrounded him and explained that Zhang Yuan did not intentionally handball, but unconsciously.

After deliberately handballing Zhang Yuan, he was still standing there pitifully without making a sound. It turned out that he had done it before realizing that he had made a big mistake, and he was already in a daze at this time!
"Why don't you complain to the referee!" Barzali poked him in the waist.

Zhang Yuan woke up like a dream, and then ran to the referee, explaining and begging like other Juventus players.

Obviously, the Naples players were not willing to see that the red card in Farino's hand could not be issued. They also put pressure on the referee tit for tat. The sidelines were chaotic, and players from both sides were debating.

In the end, Farino decisively showed Zhang Yuan a red card, willing to deliberately handball, and according to the trajectory, Lavezzi's shot was going to be scored.

Knowing what he did, Zhang Yuan lifted his jersey and reluctantly covered his face and walked off the court.

At this time, he was really ashamed to face the mentality of Jiangdong's elders. At this time, if you asked him to say the reason why he chose to block the ball like that, he might not remember it. This is a typical price of impulsiveness.

The commentator of Sky Sports criticized Zhang Yuan, "Zhang Yuan's defensive action is too amateurish! It's too stupid! Even if Naples scored this goal, it would be a 2-0 lead at worst. Juventus occupied it from the middle of the first half. The advantage on the scene, there are more than 30 minutes left in the game, they still have a chance to tie the score! But now they are two goals behind and one less player, I think it is almost impossible to equalize!"

His insight is correct, but nothing can be undone!
Zhang Yuan was introduced into the player channel by the first-team leader Fabrice. Conte ignored Zhang Yuan. He was angry with Zhang Yuan at this time. He also thought Zhang Yuan was stupid. Of course, the most important thing for him at this time was Discuss what to do with your assistants.
