Chapter 36
The Turin players who failed to attack were still walking back slowly with their heads down. The experienced Juventus goalkeeper Buffon saw the opportunity and made a forward gesture to his teammates, shouting: "Run forward!"

Zhu Hantao, who heard the voice, turned around and saw Buffon kicking the ball into the frontcourt with a big kick, "Oops!"

Looking at their own defensive players, they have not yet realized the crisis. They did not expect that the Bianconeri, who like to control the ball and advance unhurriedly when attacking, suddenly caught themselves by surprise.

"Be careful! They're playing fast break!" Zhu Hantao anxiously wanted to remind his teammates while running to the backcourt, but he couldn't hear them clearly because he was a little far away.

Fortunately, the head coach Novellino on the sidelines also noticed something was wrong, and shouted to his disciples: "Concentrate on it, and quickly retreat to the position, the opponent has already called!"

Only then did the Turin players realize that Juventus had entered their own half and hurried back to their defensive positions.

Juventus will not wait for the opponent to set up a defense line. Midfielder Nocerino points the ball to the right, and Palladino breaks forward with the ball along the side.

The 23-year-old young striker Palladino, who was placed in the right midfield position, was not his strong point in explosiveness and speed. Torino left-back Lanner struggled to catch up and broke the ball out of the sideline in time.

This time the fast break was impossible, and Juventus simply slowed down. When everyone came up to play positional warfare, Palladino handed the ball to Chiellini.

It is recognized that Coconut's throw-in is good. In a football game that Zhu Hantao was playing before crossing, the throw-in attribute was full. At 20 points, he could throw the ball directly into the penalty area with a strong hand throw.

This may have something to do with Chiellini's strong and powerful arms. I didn't see Su Ya drooling when he saw it later.

"Oh, it was the timely return of the Turin team's full-back to stop Juventus' fast-break intentions. This throw-in should have been sent by central defender Chiellini."

"Hey, Chiellini is a very young player. He is only 23 years old, and he has secured his position as the main central defender of the Serie A giant Juventus. In addition to his solid defense, he also has a great skill in throwing the ball with a strong hand. The throw-in is far and accurate, which is very threatening."

"Guide Zhang is right. We can see that the goalkeeper of the Turin team is obviously a little nervous, and he is directing the position of the defensive players."

Chiellini wiped the football with his jersey, then held the ball with both hands, stepped back a few steps from the sideline, the referee whistled, Chiellini ran up, twisted his waist and swung his arms very smoothly, and threw the ball out.

The football blasted into the penalty area of ​​the Torino team like a fired shell. Trezeguet resisted the defender and leaped high to grab the ball, and aggressively headed the ball.

Fortunately, the goalkeeper of the Turin team, Sereni, was very focused, judged the path of the ball, and successfully saved the ball.

There was chaos in the penalty area for a while, the defensive players of the home team wanted to clear the siege, and the offensive players of the visiting team wanted to make up shots.

Coincidentally, the ball landed at the feet of Zhu Hantao, who had returned to the penalty area to help defend. It was too late, and Zhu Hantao took the lead to clear the ball one step at a time.

Trezeguet, who wanted to take another shot, failed to kick the football, and kicked Zhu Hantao's feet directly, and the two fell painfully in the penalty area at the same time.

The referee gave Trezeguet an offensive foul. The Torino players were a little dissatisfied. The captain on the field, Comotto, reasoned with the referee, "This should be a yellow card action. It's too dangerous. He can't kick the ball. Obviously he can stop his foot. After Zhu kicked the ball, his foot has been stopped. This guy kicked Zhu."

Nedved stood between Comotto and the referee Gianluca, "Come on, this is an opponent, I don't think it's a foul, so don't take advantage of it and act like a good boy."

Gianluca pursed his lips and shrugged, saying that I have my own penalty standards, and you don't need to teach me to be a referee, just give me what to do, otherwise I will give you a yellow card.

"Cut!" Komoto and Nedved had to walk away to see how their teammates were injured.

The team doctors of Torino and Juventus came to the field and examined Zhu Hantao and Trezeguet respectively. There was no general idea, it was a minor injury, and it hurt at the time.

The team doctor sprayed cold analgesic spray on Zhu Hantao's leg where he was kicked. Seeing that Zhu Hantao stood up and took a few steps, he felt that there was no problem and went down.

"Judging from the slow-motion playback, Treze could have been given a yellow card just now, and he escaped."

"But the two players seem to be fine. I think the referee may have to give a little extra time. The game was interrupted many times in the first half due to foul yellow cards."

"Oh, the fourth official has raised his card, and there are 3 minutes of stoppage time in the first half."

"Hey, the 3 minutes given by the referee is actually a bit short. The delay of the two team doctor appearances is more than 3 minutes. It may be because it is only the end of the first half after all."

The game progressed to the 44th minute of regular time, and the first half of the game will end with 4 minutes of stoppage time. Juventus stars are still besieging the goal of the home team Torino.

"Hold on, you must hold on, the first half will be over soon!" Coach Novellino tried not to show his inner anxiety on the sidelines.

The Turin fans in the stands also prayed with trepidation that the opponent's shot would not score. Under the leadership of the fans organization in the South Stand, the Bulls supporters sang the Turin team anthem "Still a Bull":
Ancora Toro
still a bull
io questa maglia sognavo da bambino
This is the jersey I dreamed about as a kid

Quando giocavo ancora col trenino mio padre andava sempre al comunale
my dad always goes to the municipal field

c'era il torino, torino da sognare
There is Turin, Turin in dreams

granata una seconda pelle
Garnet is the second skin

portarla é come un viaggio tra le stelle
Wearing it is like traveling among the stars

lo so cos'é la storia e la leggenda
I know this is history this is legend

giochiamo noi la fiamma non sié spent
The flame of our battle will never go out

e ancora toro e sempre toro
……

……

I want to be the captain of this team

undici cuori tenuti per la mano
Eleven people hand in hand and heart to heart
vincere semper vincer con onore
Victory we always fight with honor
per il torino per il suo grande cuore
For Turin For its great heart

é un'emozione che sempre mi attanaglia
It's an emotion I can't let go

sono del toro e un grido m'accompagna
I belong to Turin I cry in my heart

forza ragazzi vincete con onore
Come on lads proud fight

esser granata vuol dire fede e amore
Red garnet symbolizes loyalty and love
e ancora toro e sempre toro
still bull forever bull
la maratona canta tutta in coro
On the long road we sing hand in hand

e ancora toro e sempre toro
still bull forever bull
il toro é grande e ti fa tremar le gambe
Great Turin it makes you shy

e ancora toro e sempre toro
still bull forever bull
cantiamo noi cantiamo tutti in coro
we sing we sing together
e ancora toro e sempre toro
still bull forever bull
il toro é grande e ti fa tremar le gambe
Great Turin it makes you shy

Hearing the Torino team anthem coming from all directions, Zhu Hantao felt a surge of enthusiasm in his heart, but unfortunately there was no chance to attack at this time, and now almost the whole team was huddled in the penalty area just to defend the score of zero to zero before the end of the first half.

As Juventus tried to pass a long pass into the penalty area and was ejected by Zhu Hantao with a header, the referee Gianluca blew the whistle to end the first half.

Players and coaches from both sides retreated to the locker room.

"Hey, the first half is over. Although the score is still zero to zero, the battle is still quite intense. Most of the time, Juventus is attacking, and the home team Torino has a chance.

The referee has already shown five yellow cards in the first half, which shows how hot the scene is.This is the charm of the derby.However, the Turin team, which fouled more, only got two cards, but Juventus got three cards. Hehe, it's very interesting. "

"In the first half, the goalless draw between Turin and Juventus was [-]-[-]. Take a short break. We will continue to explain the game for you in the second half. After the advertisement, I will be right back."

In the locker room of the Torino team, the players are exhausted physically and are replenishing water and energy, because most of the time they are defending with all their strength and are very tired.

"Boys, you did a great job!" Coach Novellino encouraged his morale. "In the beginning, we were almost able to score that free kick and that free kick. It's just bad luck, and I can see your fighting spirit. How does it feel to fight the old woman for 45 minutes?"

"Hahahahaha!" The coach first praised and then made a joke, and the players were all amused.

"Okay, let's stop joking. We still have a minor here. Let me tell you about the tactical arrangement for the second half." Everyone laughed again. Walter paused and took out the tactical board. "Let's do it again. We will start the second half aggressively, follow the routine we practiced before, try to steal a goal, and then defend with all our strength. Do you all understand this?"

"Understood!" Everyone said in unison.

"Very good. Then let me tell you about Greila. You have a yellow card on your back. You must not make too many defensive moves. It will be very difficult to face the opponent's offense, so you may be replaced in about 10 minutes. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Although he was not happy to know that he would be replaced in advance, Gleila still obeyed the coach's arrangement.

"So don't save energy in the first half of the second half, run more in the midfield, and give more support to your teammates regardless of offense and defense."

"I see, coach." Gleira nodded to show that she understood.

"Then there is Zhu. If the strategy is successful and we can take the lead first, you may also be replaced early. Your defensive ability is still not enough." Novelino turned to Zhu Hantao.

Zhu Hantao was mentally prepared. When he defended with all his strength, his role was too small. "Well, I understand the coach."

"Natali, you also received a yellow card. There may be pressure to defend Trezeguet. You should pay attention to this. You can also find a way to attract him to foul and let him receive a yellow card. He should have received a card for that foul in the first half."

"I've said it many times, don't let them hit the penalty area easily! If you want to foul, you should decisively point outside the penalty area. We have specially practiced set-piece defense and there is no problem."

"Pay attention to Del Piero, you must not let it go, someone must stare at him, don't let him take the ball comfortably, don't give him a chance to kick, if he can't, put the shovel and shovel him!"

"Palladino on their right is not very good. Pay more attention to Nedved on the left. His threat is greater. Don't take it lightly."
