Chapter 228 Before Revenge
After Juventus and Borussia Dortmund's UEFA Champions League 0/3 knockout round ended, watching Dortmund's miserable score of 5 to 1 at their home court, the West ** Stadium, let's take a look The total score above seems to be bloody [-] to [-].
The fans of Dortmund were dejected, while the fans of Juventus were completely in a carnival.Among them, many Juventus fans have already "raised Allegri, the head coach of Juventus who almost single-handedly "directed" these two games, to the altar."

And Allegri's strategies in the two rounds of the game, such as actively giving up possession of the ball, as well as magical substitutions.For example, in the second round, in the 30th minute of the first half of the away game, midfielder Pogba was compromised under such unfavorable conditions.Actually, by replacing the veteran, this season has gradually faded out of the starting lineup of Barzagli.Along with Chiellini and Bonucci, the three coaches at the time Juventus for the past three seasons, Conte's 3-5-2 was a solid and solid defense at the back. An unshakable starting centre-back combination.

Such a combination is naturally a very tacit cooperation.Therefore, in Dortmund's home court, the Westfield Stadium, Dortmund's offense has failed again and again.In the end, relying on a counterattack and the cooperation between Tevez and Victor, Tevez assisted and Victor scored.

This is Juventus' second goal in this game, and it was this goal that almost made Dortmund lose confidence in being able to advance to the next round.In the end, after nearly 10 minutes, he scored another goal and completed the "sling" against Dortmund in the total score. It is not so uncommon.

However, in the analysis of Juventus' double-round victory over Dortmund with a score of 5 to 1, there is a saying.Of course, it was also raised during the analysis of the double-round match, that is, it is believed that Pirlo's role in the current Juventus team is actually not that important.

The reason is that first of all, what Pirlo is best at is to control the rhythm of the team's offense, and what he is good at is to make the team's offense suddenly start through long passes.However, it seems that Marchisio is gradually able to control Juventus' offense now, and, more importantly, Juventus now makes more short-distance direct passes, while long-distance passes are not so much.

More importantly, Pirlo, who was born in 1979 and is now 35 years old, has far worse physical fitness than when he was young.What's more, when Pirlo was young, he was not a player with explosive physical fitness.Therefore, now that Pirlo is in the game, he needs Vidal or other players to help Pirlo defensively all the time.

However, if Pirlo is not on the court, the combination of Vidal, Pogba and Pereira, whether it is offense or defense, looks so reassuring.

However, regarding the second round of the match between the two sides, there is also a rather funny saying, that is, in the first round of the match between the two sides, Juventus compromised Pirlo and finally won the game.In the second round, Pogba was also injured.

So, the so-called, "Juventus 'sacrificed' Pirlo in the first round, and 'sacrificed' Pogba in the second round."

Of course, such nonsense needs no further explanation.This is just the way some tabloids use to attract fans.However, for Pirlo's statement, the entire Juventus team immediately expressed dissatisfaction.

Therefore, the Juventus players, no matter who they are, immediately expressed their opposition to the statement that Pirlo is not important to the current Juventus when they are interviewed by reporters after daily training.And as several "participants," midfielders such as Vidal, Marchisio and Perez, they scoffed at this statement even more.

"Andre is our elder brother. He taught us a lot in training and games, understanding of the game, control of the game during the game and so on. Moreover, we all think that if the game Among them, it is our greatest honor to have such a teammate by our side." This comes from "one of our own people," who has been playing for Juventus, when Marchisio was interviewed by Juventus TV, It is equal to the words representing the whole team.

However, Pirlo also privately expressed to these Juventus teammates that he feels that he is becoming more and more incapable of playing in Serie A, let alone the fierce fighting and high-intensity game rhythm in the Champions League. .However, for a player who has been in professional football for more than 35 years, even if he is [-] years old now, it is not easy to announce his retirement.

Besides, there is no saying that a football player dies twice.The first time was when I announced my retirement, and the second time was when I officially died.

However, after hearing Pirlo's words, these Juventus players immediately expressed their retention of Pirlo.But Pirlo said that even if he does not retire, he will no longer be able to continue fighting for the team in the league.So, will choose to leave Italy, possibly across the Atlantic to the United States.

Therefore, all Juventus players except Pirlo said that they should give Pirlo something this season.As for Victor, Marchisio and Chiellini, players who have played for Juventus for a long time, I think that when the old captain, Del Pirlo left Juventus, Juventus was under the leadership of Conte. Next, regained the Serie A championship.

And Pirlo, that should also send a weighty champion.

However, the game still needs to be played one by one. Next, although they know that they will be in the next quarter-elimination round through the draw, Juventus will face the Monaco club from Ligue [-].As for the two rounds, the first round will be played at Juventus' home stadium, the Alpi Stadium.

This is another very unfavorable schedule for Juventus, first host and then guest.It is equivalent to handing over the initiative of the second round to the opponent.However, in a blink of an eye, if the first round can end the game, wouldn't Juventus kill the game.

However, before the first leg against Monaco on April 4, Juventus still has games in the league and the Coppa Italia.The first is the two home games in the league, against Genoa and Empoli.

First of all, in the game against Genoa, Allegri had a lot of injuries after all, so he changed the formation back to the 3-5-2 formation that Conte was best at.The starting three defenders are also Conte's central defender partners, Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini.On the front line, Tevez, a "beast" whose physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people, and Llorente became the starter.On the bench, Matri, a player who was almost forgotten by the fans, appeared.As for Victor, he failed to pass the team doctor's test and was forced to stay in the box at the Alpi Stadium to watch the game.

The final score was 1-0. Carlos Tevez received a pass from Pereira in the 11th minute of the first half, forced his way to the right side of Genoa's penalty area, and finally shot with his right foot only 11 meters away from the goal. , hit the crossbar and bounced into the goal.Although the goalkeeper of the Genoa team is a very good goalkeeper among the Italian youth generation, Palin.But it couldn't stop this goal from happening. 1 to 0.
At the end of the first half, Juventus had another chance to surpass the score.First, Llorente's header was held out by Palin with one hand, and then Tevez shot again, which was blocked by the Genoa player with his chest, and then Chiellini, who came up with the assist, volleyed from only 4 meters in front of the goal. But unfortunately hit the crossbar.

What made Juventus fans feel that the goddess of luck in this game was a "bichi" appeared in the second half. Juventus got a penalty kick at the 61st time, but Tevez's penalty kick was pulled Manner, who replaced Palin, who was forced off shortly after the start of the second half due to an injury.He flew out of the goal.

But fortunately, when the referee blew the final whistle, the score was still 1-0, and the home team Juventus won the Genoa team at home.And the victory of this game is also Juventus' 16th clean sheet opponent this season.And Genoa's 12 consecutive away goals in consecutive Serie A games also came to an end.

In the next game, Juventus defeated Empoli 2-0 at home.Tevez scored two goals for Juventus in the starting line-up, and the other goal came from the substitute Victor.

Carlos Tevez's goal came from an error by the Empoli goalkeeper, who received a pass in the penalty area and was awarded an indirect free kick in the penalty area.Vidal flicked the football, followed by Carlos Tevez with a low shot. 1 to 0.

After the start of the second half of the game, although it was an away game, the Empoli team immediately turned away from the guest and launched consecutive attacks on Juventus' gate.For nearly 10 minutes, it almost became Buffon's personal exhibition game.

This is very unfavorable for Juventus, and no one wants their goalkeeper to be the protagonist of the game.Therefore, Allegri also asked his players on the bench to warm up quickly and be ready to play at any time.

Within the last 10 minutes of the game, Allegri made substitution adjustments.Morata replaced Llorente, this is a counter-substitution.However, the move to replace Vidal with Victor expresses Allegri's dissatisfaction with the game.

And the replacement of the players on the field really allowed Juventus to pocket the victory firmly.In stoppage time, it was the two players who came on the field. Morata showed everything a center should do, but unfortunately the shot was saved by Empoli's goalkeeper.But he couldn't stop Victor's follow-up shot. 2 to 0.

But next, on April 4th, Juventus should go to Florence, Tuscany, at the Frankie Stadium, away to the first leg of the Coppa Italia, and beat Juventus 7-1 at the Alpi Stadium Fiorentina team.
