Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 680

In the first 10 minutes, Shakhtar Donetsk turned away from home, with a ball possession rate as high as 74%, but Juventus was forced to do nothing. This result surprised many fans, but it makes sense when you really look into it.

Shakhtar Donetsk is a technical team. The players in the midfield are very good at passing the ball. Even if they are dragged into Serie A, they are still a formidable team. The main problem of Juventus It’s just unfamiliar. As a coach, Conte is unfamiliar with Shakhtar Donetsk, and Juventus players are also unfamiliar with the opponent’s players on the court. They cannot fully understand the characteristics of the opponent’s players. Conte’s arrangements and arrangements are plain It's just talking on paper. In actual combat, Juventus players need to find out the characteristics of the opponent's players.

On the other hand, the characteristics of Juventus players have been thoroughly understood by their opponents. Shakhtar Donetsk's style of play is to restrain Pirlo, boldly press and force, and dare to confront Juventus. This trick has played a positive effect. .

Moreover, Shakhtar Donetsk's way of playing after getting the ball is not to rush and rush according to their habits, but to play possession of the ball. If there is no gap, they will never let themselves lose the ball easily. The number of shots is not many, but Threats have been made a lot.

Seeing that the team has fallen behind in the situation, Carrera did not dare to let his team go out. This approach is a stable approach and is in line with Juventus' style. Shakhtar Donetsk really let the team out. What is troublesome is the fast attack speed in the frontcourt. If Juventus takes the initiative to move the formation forward, it is likely to be pierced by Shakhtar Donetsk's fast-paced attack.

Therefore, the opponent's active attack at the beginning and his own active contraction caused Juventus to be at a disadvantage in the scene.

When playing against Chelsea, Juventus's style of play was relatively more aggressive, but overall they were inferior to Chelsea. Today, they chose to be more conservative and still inferior.

The Champions League game is really not as easy as in the league. Any opponent may bring you endless troubles.

Both Zhang Yuan and Vucinic's activity areas are in their own half. There is no way, no matter how high they are, it is difficult to get the ball. Carrera also hopes that they can help the team withstand this period of time.

There was no linkage between the two of them even once. Zhang Yuan had a few chances to get the ball today. He also became less courageous and dared not pass it back. , it is undoubtedly very dangerous to pass back in one's own half.

So his choice is to take the ball by himself. Lucescu obviously knows that he is a dangerous person. In the arrangement against Zhang Yuan, he enters the field and forms a double-team in some areas. All Zhang Yuan can do is protect the ball. , causing the opponent's foul.

In the 13th minute, after Zhang Yuan got the ball, he dribbled the ball directly and tried to rush towards the Shakhtar Donetsk half. Fernandinho couldn't let him pass so easily. He knew that Zhang Yuan's physical fitness was quite good, so he directly Use the way of hugging to stop Zhang Yuan.

Of course, Zhang Yuan couldn't pass this way. He sat on the ground and made a gesture of showing a yellow card. The meaning was very simple. This way should be given a yellow card!
The referee of today's game is Nihus from the Netherlands, and Nihus only gave Fernandinho a warning.

This aroused Zhang Yuan's dissatisfaction, and he loudly questioned Nihus, "This hugging action makes me think I am in the arena! Isn't this enough to give a yellow card?!"

"Your dribbling route has been blocked by your opponent! I am the referee, and I am responsible for my own penalty!" Nihus responded to Zhang Yuan's question. He believed that even if Zhang Yuan avoided Fernandinho's Interception, the ball will also be intercepted by Rakitsky, so this hug should be given a lighter penalty.

Zhang Yuan was still chattering, while Nihus said: "I have already warned him! Now please go back to your position and don't argue with me!"

Zhang Yuan felt rather resentful, and was dragged away by Vucinich from the scene of the incident.

Just a few minutes after this controversy, Shakhtar Donetsk finally scored a goal. In the 18th minute, William suddenly changed his way in the frontcourt, successfully dribbled the ball past Marchisio, and then sent a diagonal shot from the penalty area line. Passed, Teixeira, who was unmarked on the right side of the small penalty area, successfully turned offside and faced Buffon with a right-footed shot. Because the distance was too close, Buffon had no choice but the ball flew into the goal from the upper right corner, 0-1!

The players of Shakhtar Donetsk celebrated their goal, while the players of Juventus were downcast. During the process of scoring, the players of Juventus made many mistakes. Sierra was unmarked, which is really a bit unreasonable.

This also shows from the negative side that Shakhtar Donetsk's offensive methods are really superb. Juventus's 352 defensive width is very sufficient, but Shakhtar Donetsk does the opposite. The two wingers William and Teixeira Frequent cuts to the center. Forward Adriano is not a positional striker. He often withdraws from the penalty area to return, which drives Juventus' central defenders to move, allowing Shakhtar Donetsk to form a confrontation in the center in a short time. waiting staff.

If the two wings of Juventus cannot be recovered in time, such evil consequences will naturally come.

Buffon wanted to vent his anger, but he had nowhere to vent his anger. He could only thump the goal post to express his displeasure.

Carrera patted himself on the forehead, he was really troubled, Juventus had another problem today, poor interception, lack of concentration, and a game for three days brought serious physical problems to the team, because Juventus basically use one formation now.

The victory over Roma at home was nothing but a flash in the pan. Carrera's mind flashed a keyword rotation. Facing a high-intensity game, the rotation really should be carried out.

Rotation This is also where the outside world criticizes Conte. It can be seen from last season that Conte does not often use rotation strategies. Of course, the outside world does not know Conte’s suffering. The gap between Juventus’ main lineup and substitutes It is very big, and even a slight change is very likely to change the trend. In fact, it is true. When he rotates, the team often falls into a downturn and cannot successfully win against underdogs.

No matter how difficult it is, score a goal!Zhang Yuan said to himself in his heart that Juventus needed a goal to boost morale, and there was no problem with his physical fitness, because he had not played in three consecutive games.

Maybe God is also looking after Juventus. 2 minutes after Shakhtar Donetsk scored, No. 20 minutes, Juventus got a corner kick.

But when one's own side is under severe pressure, set-pieces are an opportunity that needs to be used in particular. Since Pirlo's arrival, Juventus' set-piece attacks have repeatedly achieved results.

"Andre!" Zhang Yuan rushed to Pirlo in the corner and made a gesture, which was their secret signal.

Zhang Yuan hopes that Pirlo will pass the ball to the space outside the small penalty area, and he will shoot!
The players of Shakhtar Donetsk have not yet recovered from the excitement just now, and they seem a bit messy in marking assignments.

"Leonardo, you cover me! After a while, you rush into the penalty area, and I will shoot from the outside!" Zhang Yuan hugged Bonucci, and the two seemed to want to hit the header together in the middle.

Shakhtar Donetsk's Fernandinho and Rakitski were squeezed inside by Zhang Yuan and Bonucci. Fernandinho could only hold Zhang Yuan's jersey with one hand. Zhang Yuan After dumping him, he immediately pulled him back. His purpose was to prevent Zhang Yuan from moving easily.

Pirlo made a free throw, and he took a low-altitude half-high ball between the big penalty area and the small penalty area.

The Juventus players rushed into the penalty area at the moment of the free throw. This trick really confused the opponent, and Bonucci took on the heavy responsibility of the pick-and-roll. He deliberately squeezed Fernandini. Oh, Zhang Yuan ran to the outside, and Fernandinho missed the target.

Such a routine takes countless efforts on the training ground, and Zhang Yuan has long known the position of the free throw.

He rushed forward and volleyed directly, which is very demanding on him, because on the court, in order to pursue the success of this shot, Pirlo cannot slow down the speed of the ball. On the contrary, it must be fast. If you are not fast, the players on both sides of the opponent will soon be able to block in place in time.

Zhang Yuan volleyed with great power, and Srna blocked it with his body sideways. Unfortunately, the ball did not hit him, but passed by him, like a cannonball, and hit the near corner accurately. The goalpost William jumped up. Also failed to touch the ball!

Juventus tied the score tenaciously after 2 minutes!
