Chapter 272 The Second Derby (Third)
Although the gap between the two sides on the scene is not too big, and the two teams are still a long way from scoring goals, Li Moody is not very satisfied with the performance of his players.

Even in an away game, the cheering of more than 38000 fans of the home team (in order to prevent possible conflicts between fans of the two sides, only less than 3000 tickets were sold to Turin fans in this game) will put a lot of pressure on the visiting team , but you must know that Juventus's lineup at this time is a lot of rotation players!There is still a big gap between their abilities compared with the main force, but the Red Bulls who played with all the main force could not take advantage of the opponent, which made the Turin supporters who thought they were a strong team feel a little bit It's hard.

The Turin team performed quite well against the top teams in the standings this season. They can barely draw with the Milan duo and the Roma duo. It can be said that they are worthwhile in terms of potential and toughness. Complimented.However, when facing the middle and lower teams, there are often large fluctuations. There are quite a few situations where the strong will be strong, and the weak will be weak. The performance of strength is quite unstable.

In the first Turin derby this season, facing the old lady who was attacking at full strength, the Turin team, which was at a low point at the time, showed a very good state and desire to win. In the end, it was only because of lack of experience that the opponent was defeated at the end of the game. The stage scored two goals in a row and unfortunately lost.

Before today's game, they had just won a wave of four consecutive victories, and their morale was at their best, but the opponent's strength was greatly reduced due to the distraction of the Champions League. great opportunity.But the players failed to show their [-]% ability as expected, even worse than the last derby, which only shows that they have not really improved themselves to the level of a real strong team, More training and even adjustments to the lineup are needed.

Back to the game, No. 308 minutes, Dybala dribbled the ball straight into the hinterland of the visiting team at high speed from the left, and Akuwa had no choice but to knock him down after being overwhelmed by half of his body. Showed the second yellow card since the start of the game.Taking advantage of this set-piece opportunity, the home team also completed a shot. Cuadrado hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Benatia followed up the small penalty area line and shot over the crossbar, but the linesman had already raised the flag in advance to signal him. Offside first.

No.40 In the second minute, the Colombian winger forced Barreca one-on-one from the right, and was knocked to the ground by the latter. The third yellow card was also recorded on the Turin player.

After 1 minute, Juventus created an excellent opportunity. Quadrado feinted from the right and then knocked back in the middle. Dybala followed up and cooperated with Mandzukic to hit the wall in a small range. Mi Chu's left-footed shovel was blocked by Joe Hart bravely.The four defensive players were instantly pierced by the opponent's two attackers like wooden stakes, which made Li Moody very dissatisfied. He ran to the sideline and shouted to remind him to concentrate.

Before the end of the first half, the teenager Bareca suddenly made an assist, and after shaking the angle, he made an inverted triangle pass back to the middle. Belotti's involvement in the penalty area made Rajajic get a kicker at the position 11 meters away from the goal. Unfortunately, his curve ball was slightly higher than the crossbar and missed this good opportunity.

The halftime whistle sounded immediately, and the two sides scored a goalless draw. We can only expect a breakthrough in the second half.Although in terms of ball possession rate, the Turin team's 45% is not ugly, but the score of 5 in 0 shots still exposed the problem of insufficient attack power in recent days.On the other hand, Juventus got the data of 8 out of 2, which is not very good, but still has a slight advantage.

In the 15 minutes in the locker room, Li Mudi wanted to adjust the frontcourt lineup, but Jesse still failed to fully recover. Although Chelsea had a lore performance in the last round, he faced Juventus' steel It is difficult to perform in the defensive line, and there is really no one in his hands to change.I have to tell the players to pay attention to the weakness of the opponent's two ribs. The right back Lichtsteiner is too old and his pace is very slow; and the left back Asamoah is a cameo, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes under heavy pressure. , These are the two wingers of the Torino team that can be used.

Facts have proved that the Turin coach's thinking is still very correct. Less than a minute after the start of the second half, Boyer's surprise attack almost forced the Swiss veteran to make a big mistake. Lichtsteiner blocked the opponent's cross , but changed the flight path of the ball and went straight to his own goal. Fortunately, Neto concentrated enough and moved quickly to hold the ball in his arms.

Immediately, the home team launched a counterattack. No. 409 minutes, Cuadrado dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area and knocked across. Mandzukic did not kick directly to attack the goal, but chose to stop the ball to adjust. Unfortunately, Rose was caught up by the excessive movement Tiny made a successful save.

After 2 minutes, the attacking route of the visiting team changed to the right side. Baseli gave the ball to Farke. The Spanish winger suddenly cut inside after smearing Sturaro. Asamoah, who played as a left back, gave up on himself. The original position has been following the opponent to the middle.On the left side of the top of the arc in the penalty area, Falk adjusted a step and prepared to take a long shot. He was brought down by Asamoah with the ball. The referee whistled to indicate that this was a foul, and then gave the home team today first yellow card.

Taking advantage of this excellent direct free kick, the Turin team hit the goal frame for the first time and knocked on the goal of their rivals in the same city.The arc kicked by Rajajic bypassed the jumping wall and then fell quickly, hitting the lower edge of the crossbar and bouncing into the net. Neto had no reaction to this and could only look at the ball and sigh.

The slow-motion playback shows that the distance between the ball and the junction of the crossbar and the post is less than 5 centimeters. This is an absolute dead angle, and even if Buffon comes, it will be difficult to make an effective save.And Juventus's human wall arrangement also has a lot of problems. The ball flew over the head of Dybala, who is the shortest among them. If a person who is five to six centimeters taller is replaced, it may be stopped.

In any case, the fans of the visiting team in the stands overwhelmed their opponents for the first time today, but due to being outnumbered, they were counter-killed in an instant.

This is the second time Juventus has fallen behind at home in Serie A this season. The last time was against Udinese in the eighth round last October. However, in the end they scored two goals in a row to complete the reversal and maintained a home victory. golden body.And after defeating Genoa 2-4 half a month ago, they have set a record with a 0-game winning streak at home in the league. Although the outside world has been looking forward to a team that can end this horrible number, they have never been able to Come true, will a miracle happen today?

The score fell behind, making Allegri, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, a little impatient. He also began to stand on the sidelines for a long time and shouted at his players to arrange new tactics.The players of the home team were even more mentally unbalanced. After the re-kick-off, Dybala wanted to use his personal ability to complete a breakthrough, but unfortunately, he was seen through by the steady Ranocchia, who took the ball to his feet with an upper grab.The Argentine genius fought back on the spot in a hurry, but the action was too big, and he kicked directly on the calf of the Turin central defender, and was shown a yellow card by the referee.

As for Ranocchia, the pain was severe, and he recovered after being treated by the team doctor, but this also shocked the Turin coaching staff into a cold sweat.

However, the Old Lady is indeed one of the top giants in Europe. They quickly adjusted their mentality and launched wave after wave of attacks on the visiting team's defense. In 4 minutes, Dybala and Khedira blocked the ball consecutively. Mandzukic followed up and pushed 8 meters away from the goal on the right side of the penalty area, but missed the far post.Although Joe Hart made a save, he was obviously half a beat behind when he fell to the ground. If the ball was deflected another ten centimeters inward, it might really be able to form a goal.

Allegri played his first card in 6 minutes. He replaced the mediocre Sturaro with Higuain, put the team's top scorer at the forefront, and Mandzukic behind him. He rushes forward to form a double center, and he can also use his enthusiasm to counterattack in the frontcourt.

Seeing the opponent's move, Li Moody naturally responded. He summoned Benassi, who had finished warming up, to come back, and prepared to use him to replace Boyer, who had exhausted his energy. He changed the formation to 4-3-3 and strengthened the control of the midfield. force.But before the assistant coach Samfield could explain the change of tactics to the players, an accident happened on the field, which completely overturned the Turin coach's plan.

In the 7th minute, Asamoah intercepted the ball in the backcourt and launched a counterattack. After receiving the ball, Mandzukic advanced at high speed and was knocked down by Akuwa with a shovel from a diagonal stab.The referee Paul Valeri hurriedly blew the whistle to stop the game. After roughly seeing the Croatian center who was rolling on the ground with his feet in his arms, he took out a yellow card to the Ghanaian midfielder and sent him off after two yellows and one red. field.This action made the visiting team very dissatisfied. Since the incident occurred near the sideline of the center line, the bench side could see it clearly. Akuwa kicked Manju's foot, but it was shoveling away. It is a bit far-fetched to call a foul, let alone give a card!

The slow-motion replay of the broadcaster also confirmed that the tackle did touch the ball first, which brought huge controversy to the referee's penalty, and caused quite a stir by the media and the Internet after the game.

However, Li Moody could not wait until after the game to express his doubts, he immediately roared into the field, and turned around to protest to the fourth official.Fortunately, Sumfield was by his side, and he managed to save the boss, who was already out of control. After two other colleagues rushed to help control the head coach, who couldn't hold back the swearing, the boss who had always been calm The assistant coach went to the fourth official to dispute the yellow card.

Naturally, the referee's penalty cannot be changed. The Turin team, which had already taken the absolute initiative, could only accept this cruel blow and seek a solution to one less player.

In the broadcast room of China Central TV Sports Channel, Poet He and Director Zhang were also commenting on whether the penalty was reasonable. The position of the people of China made the two experts’ views naturally biased towards their own family, but they also admitted that the Turin team In the remaining 30 minutes or so, we will face a great test, and we may not be able to leave with victory.

Originally, when the defensive midfielder was sent off, he should be replaced by an excellent defensive midfielder immediately, but because the previously decided substitution request has been submitted, Benassi still played to replace Boyer.The defensive ability of the two organizational midfielders is naturally not reassuring, so Li Moody, who has regained his composure under the persuasion of his colleagues, immediately made a second substitution adjustment, replacing France with Lars Diarra. Erke, the formation became 4-3-1-1.

But in this way, the lack of the speed of the Spanish winger also made the Turin team's counterattack power drop sharply. The visiting team was gradually suppressed by Juventus' offensive and could only defend passively.

No.60 In the second minute, Cuadrado made a corner kick with a breakthrough from the side. Dybala drove to the back point. Kong found a chance to head the goal, but unfortunately missed the far post under the interference of Zampacosta.

Although the defensive pressure in the backcourt was very high, the Turin players did not give up the idea of ​​attacking completely. In the 606th minute, Belotti made a successful steal in the frontcourt. It is a pity that they failed to pass Neto's ten-finger pass and were thrown out. The visiting team missed the opportunity to expand the score.

Two minutes later, Juventus made a comeback. Lichtsteiner took the ball from the right with his left foot. Mandzukic's header from the back point was ferried into the penalty area. Dybala volleyed directly and cleverly transferred the ball to the penalty spot. Khedira, who was watching the defense, kicked an anti-aircraft gun, wasting this good opportunity to tie the score.

Seeing that the current players on the field are indeed a bit difficult to be a great leader, Allegri once again played his trump card. Bosnia and Herzegovina midfielder Pjanic came on the field to replace the midfielder Rincon. Juventus' midfield organization ability instantly improved It has risen two grades, making the visiting team no longer able to fight back in the following games.

No.70 minutes, the home team completed a multi-player cooperation. The ball passed under the feet of five players and was pushed straight into the penalty area of ​​the visiting team by Dybala. Confiscated by Hart.This goal was very similar to the overtake goal scored by the Smoky Gun in the last match between the two sides. It scared everyone in Turin and almost shouted. Fortunately, history did not repeat itself this time.

One minute later, Dybala made a cross from the left, and Khedira followed up with a shovel shot, which was blocked by Lars with his thigh.Li Mudi saw that the defense was tight, so he signaled Rajajic to return to the midfield and participate in the defense together.

No. In the 706th minute, Cuadrado failed to grasp the pace in a breakthrough and was intercepted by Benassi. The Colombian winger immediately failed to counterattack. The third yellow card in the game.The two sides were tied in this statistic, but because Akuwa's two yellows turned into one red, the visiting team obviously suffered a big loss.

　I wish you all the best in 2018!
