Chapter 190 The First Turin Derby ([-])
On the court, there are hundreds of ways to arrange formations and positions, and the tactics are ever-changing. Every mature coach has his own way of thinking, but football is a competitive game. In the end, it depends on the eleven players who play football A player's ability can tell who is strong and who is weak.

As I said before, the defensive methods used by the two teams are almost exactly the same, and they are both high-position presses used by Barcelona at their peak.However, in the face of the crazy interception of the Turin players, Juventus players can play with each other relatively easily, although they only have Cuadrado and Alex Sandro in their starting lineup. The individual dribbling is still relatively good, but other players, including the two central defenders, are also very good at protecting the ball and creating ball routes for teammates through smart running. Of course, the rough guy is the only exception.But on the other hand, Turin's players are more than one level behind in this respect. They were forced by their opponents many times to lose the ball before halftime, and then encountered a quick counterattack.Moreover, too many mistakes will affect the mentality of the players, so that they dare not play the ball easily, and the visiting team players steal the ball in a more dangerous place, forming a vicious circle.

Another advantage of Juventus is their striker. Belotti is currently just an excellent finisher, and he is still a bit biased. His header ability is almost the strongest in European football. He is one of the best, but his foot skills still need to be strengthened. At this time, he is like Klose who has not yet practiced his foot skills, and he is extremely easy to be targeted by his opponents.

But the two centers of the old woman are much more comprehensive. Higuain is the opposite of Hong Beibei in front of the goal. He uses his feet more than his head, but his off-ball running and basic ball control and dribbling are also Those who are above the average level can bring all aspects of trouble to the opponent's defense; Mandzukic is tall and tall, and his ability to header and protect the ball is naturally not weak. What is rare is that, as a super column center , His dribbling and passing abilities are also very good, and he can barely handle it when he pulls to the side to act as a winger temporarily, which makes it difficult for the defenders marking him.The two central defenders of the visiting team only need to kill Belotti in the middle to solve most of the offensive of the home team. I feel very headache.Whether it is personal ability or teamwork, it seems that Juventus is at least half ahead. This game is indeed too difficult for Li Mudi and his team.

Fortunately, football is not a simple game in which strong teams are always winners. It also needs to be combined with various factors, including environment, status, morale and luck, which will have a considerable impact on the final result.When the team was in the most difficult moment, their fans stood up and became the No.12 players on the field, helping the Turin players to fight against the powerful rivals in the same city.Whenever the home team players compete for the top, steal or complete a precise pass and pass a player of the opponent, there will be warm applause and cheers in the stadium, and there is a situation that is not conducive to the Turin team. The deafening boos of Juventus players will also sound on time.Although this force cannot directly act on the ball, Li Moody and his players did feel a strong force supporting them, although they still could not find any good way to threaten the goal guarded by Buffon again on the offensive end , but at least when the physical fitness of both sides felt gradually unsatisfactory due to the fierce fighting before, they were no longer trapped by the poor conduction of their own side in the midfield and backcourt, and slightly recovered some disadvantages in terms of ball possession.

No. In the 304th minute, Rugani sent a direct pass in the backcourt. Mandzukic, who retreated to catch the ball, was thrown to the ground recklessly from behind by Kastan. The referee Rocky hurriedly stopped the game and ran to Brazil. The defender showed him his first yellow card of the game in front of him, which immediately aroused the boos of the fans.In all fairness, Kastan's kick in the back this time is indeed worthy of a yellow card warning, but before the referee only used verbal warnings for some foul actions by visiting team players, this will inevitably make Turin supporters Think he is favoring Juventus.However, in the eyes of those viewers with a relatively peaceful mentality, except for Rugani's penalty that stifled Belotti's one-handed goal, there was a huge controversy, Rocky's performance in the rest of the time was still qualified, and the home team fans were indeed a little Overreacting.

And the facts also prove that relative fairness still exists. One and a half minutes later, Baselli's forward drive with the ball was intercepted by the opponent, but when Khedira looked up to observe the running position of his teammates in front and was about to deliver the shells, Belotti, who was active, suddenly rushed out from behind him and snatched the ball, and then distributed it to Bruno Perez who inserted along the right.When the latter dribbled the ball and was about to make strides forward, Mandzukic, who came back from behind to participate in the counter-robber, knocked him down with a tackle. The referee also showed a yellow card to the Croatian center without hesitation.This made the Juventus forward feel unbelievable. He waved his arms to express his dissatisfaction. At the same time, he explained that he touched the ball first and then knocked Perez down because of inertia. This should be a good goal.On the sidelines, Juventus coach Allegri was also discussing with the fourth official whether there was a problem with the scale of the penalty. However, the commentators of various TV stations believed that this behind-the-back tackle was dangerous, even if it touched the ball. Also give a warning.

The Torino team got a chance to set the ball 34 meters to the right of the goal. With a large number of players on both sides crowded in the penalty area and the home team had no advantage in the header, Rajajic chose to attack directly.However, this shot didn't give full force. It seemed to rub against someone's body in the air, causing a slight sideline. After bouncing off the ground, he ran towards the far corner.Due to the average speed of the ball, Buffon can easily move into place and firmly grasp the ball in his hands.

No. In the 308th minute, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield area. Akuwa hastily passed the ball to the right side of the front field with a big kick. The landing points were two people, Falk and Alex Sandro. Fighting, but in the end it was Chiellini who rushed to help defend the ball.It’s just that the Italian defense core inadvertently hit his teammate’s nose with his shoulder while flying the ball out of the sideline. Sandro covered his face with his hands and fell to the ground. The team doctor rushed into the field for treatment. There is no serious problem, and the competition continued after a delay of about 1 minute.

No.401 minutes, the Torino team found the space on the right side of the opponent by passing. Bruno Perez dribbled the ball past Sturaro and then entered the penalty area. Sandro cut in front of him in time and knocked the home team's right back to the ground while intercepting the ball.There is indeed no foul on this ball, after all, the offensive player did not control the ball first, but this does not prevent the home team fans from booing again to express their dissatisfaction, so as to put pressure on the referee again.

After that, the players from both sides failed to find a chance to attack the goal except for a few fouls. After 1 minute of stoppage time, Rocky blew the whistle for the intermission.Players of the two teams walked off the court slowly, returned to their respective locker rooms to refresh, and fought again after 15 minutes.

In the technical statistics of the first half, Juventus had the upper hand in the shooting link with 5 vs. 3, but the number of shots on both sides was twice, which was evenly matched.In terms of fouls, offsides, steals and other links, the two teams are also similar. The visiting team only has some advantages in corner kicks and counter-robbers.In terms of effective ball possession time, the Turin team is still slightly ahead, 13 minutes and 4 seconds versus 12 minutes and 29 seconds.On the whole, the two sides were generally in a balance within the first 45 minutes, but most of the old lady's possession of the ball was an active choice, and the team cooperation was smoother, unlike the home team who played more in the backcourt. The first time I encountered a crisis of passing the ball and being forced, many possessions were meaningless.However, it is not difficult to see through the first half of the game that the players of the Turin team seem to be in better condition than before, while Juventus maintains a consistent and steady style, rarely experiencing continuous troughs.

Li Mudi's speech in the locker room was still mainly about praise. After all, it was the result of the players' hard work to be able to make such a 4.5 vs. 5.5 situation with the powerful five-time champion.However, although there is a certain gap in ability between the two sides, neither the team coach nor the players have the idea of ​​​​keeping the tie. Everyone is eager to return to the top three on the corpse of the rival in the same city, so there is no need to cheer too much , everyone said that they would attack in the second half, and use goals to prove that there is not only the old woman in Turin, but a strong team.

When the time was almost up and everyone was about to return to the stadium, the scout Benedetti, who had been watching outside, sent a message. After exercising on the field for a while, does this mean that Allegri is going to send these two big killers soon after the re-kick-off?There are too many good players available for Juventus, which has brought great troubles to the coach and coaching staff of the Turin team when preparing for the game, because no one knows when the opponent will play which card. , This is also one of the backgrounds of the giants.

After changing sides and fighting again, the two sides still couldn't control the ball smoothly in the midfield, and the ball appeared more in their respective backcourts.Only 47 seconds after the kick-off, the Juventus midfielder kicked a long pass into the home team's penalty area. Under the interference of Mandzukic, Kastan's header failed to go far, and Hedi, who was inserted by the back row Laqian crossed the ball laterally to Sturaro before Akuwa. Brother Cao quickly turned around one step inside the penalty area and volleyed with his left foot under the interference of Rossettini's stretched leg. The angle was not well grasped, and the ball missed the goal far.

No.408 minutes, after repeated exchanges of ball rights, Marchisio received a throw-in from his teammate and sent a beautiful oblique long pass. Khedira inserted into the penalty area at high speed, and after judging the accurate landing point, he was near the penalty point. However, he failed to hit the right position, and the ball missed the target by a long distance.In the next 5 minutes, the Juventus players used precise running and pressing to form a siege to the home team's half. Fortunately, Turin's defense has maintained a very good position and concentrated attention, which did not let the opponent Players create chances to attack goal.But their clearance balls are all completed in a hurry, and the first landing point is always controlled by the opponent.And the visiting team cleverly drove the Turin team's ball-handling players like two sidelines, causing them to lose a good way of passing the ball, which caused many mistakes, and the situation of the home team became a little critical for a while.

However, there is no good way for Juventus to face the fierce scrambling on the offensive end. They can only pass the ball into the penalty area as much as possible and let the two center forwards create chaos. However, several headers were controlled by the home team. , neither of the two sides can find a solution to the problem in a short time.

As for the home team, after finally passing the ball to the midfield under the high pressure of the opponent, they have no good options for attacking the position. They still have to rely on two wings, especially Falk and Bruno Perez. This side of the wing breaks and crosses to create a threat.In two minutes, the Brazilian right-back received a pass from Benassi and forced a cross from Sandro on the wing. There was a small problem in the cooperation between Buffon and Rugani. The double boxing of the Italian goal The ball failed to go far due to the interference of his teammates, and Falk found an unattended opportunity at the top of the arc of the penalty area. He swung his left foot and shot a volley. Unfortunately, it was an anti-aircraft gun with an elevation angle of at least 60 degrees. .

After another interception and counter interception, Baselli's long pass from the midfielder found Belotti who was pulled to the left. The Turin striker was run away when he dribbled the ball to a position about two meters in front of the opponent's penalty area. Rugani, who came to defend, hit the face with an elbow, and then fell to the ground in pain.Rocky immediately blew his whistle, and then ran over to show the Juventus teenager a yellow card. This penalty also aroused the dissatisfaction of the players of the visiting team, because Rugani's arm did not open just now, and his elbow touched the opponent's face. It was an accident.However, after Rajajic drove to the back point, Mandzukic was the first to push the ball out of the baseline, and the subsequent corner kick failed to form an attack.

Then Sturaro's mistake in the frontcourt was countered by Torino, Belotti was kicked by Alex Sandro on the right side of the frontcourt, Rajajic took a tactical free kick, Bruno Perez Rushing into the penalty area on the right and choosing an inverted triangle pass, Benassi directly attacked the goal with his right foot at a position two meters inside the penalty area.It's a pity that it was blocked by the tall Mandzukic again, and the ball flew outside the penalty area. Falk, who was guarding there, also volleyed with his left foot, this time it missed.This free kick coordination is a routine that the Turin team focused on rehearsing a few days ago. It is hoped that they can find another way and catch the opponent by surprise when the header is not dominant. Unfortunately, they still failed to knock on the door of Juventus. Everyone on the team, including Li Moody off the field, was extremely disappointed.
