Juventus Arena, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals started!

Situ Yunbing led the team to play away games in the Champions League, and his goal has always been clear: he must get a away goal!

This is the rule that gives the extra advantage of away goals.

When Juventus was cautious at home, Liverpool began to become proactive and strong.

In the third minute of the game, Coutinho was hit by multiple players in the middle of the frontcourt. He quickly knocked the ball back to Casemiro, who then passed the ball diagonally to the right to look for Mbappe.

French genius tried to pass directly in front of his compatriot Evra, but just after passing Evra, Chiellini expanded his defense range to assist in defense and controlled the ball first. At the same time, Evra was also interfering with Mbappe's start and acceleration.

Mbappe's condition has declined recently, which is a normal phenomenon. He was replaced in the last league game, but Situ Yunbing still gave him extremely high trust, and the starting qualification for this game is proof.

For a 16-year-old star, he does not lack skills, speed, and physical fitness, but what he lacks is experience.

Juventus is not a team represented by its bravery and strong. They are more like cunning examples. In terms of experience, especially defensive strategies, they are the top representatives of European football.

They are just a little out of date in terms of pattern, and the slow pace is already a label of Serie A, and even the impact of Ligue 1 like Monaco is incomparable.

But slowness has the benefits of slowness, especially Serie A, which advocates chain defense.

In this wave of defense just now, when Chiellini assisted in the sideline, Juventus' overall defense line was obviously very tacit, and he took the initiative to fill the gaps in the penalty area after Chiellini assisted in the defense.

This is Juventus' advantage and its capital for Europe.

Compared with the 352 that Conte once advocated, it has been proven in European football that they are indeed not as rhythmic as the top European teams in proactive head-on confrontation. At the same time, when curbing modern wingers, the three-back system does have certain flaws. Now in the Allegri era, Juventus has picked up chain defense again, hitting as slowly as possible, and no matter how winds east, west, south and north, I will remain unmoved!

Liverpool's offensive failed, and Juventus' counterattack quickly arrived.

When Pirlo seemed to be strolling in the middle of the backcourt, Tevez pulled the ball from the left to meet before Azpilicueta grabbed the ball and gave Morata to whom he came to meet.

Kante rushed to counterattack Morata. The Spanish forward pulled the ball back and knocked the ball across. Vidal quickly followed up and stopped the ball and continued to push the offensive. When Casemiro stood in front of him, Vidal was very aware of the ball passing the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area and to the left.

Teves quickly cut inside and followed up, trying to dribble with the ball and accelerate into the penalty area, but he didn't pass this level of Van Dijk!

At the moment when Van Dijk completed the interception, many Juventus fans hugged their heads and sighed.

If Tevez had been alone in the past!

Situ Yunbing nodded slightly, not only satisfied with Liverpool's defensive performance, but also recognized Juventus' performance.

Allegri is a coach who knows the times very well, so it is not surprising that he and Juventus have a high degree of compatibility.

Even if Juventus plays at home, his posture is very low, so low that he only relies on two or three players to attack.

Moreover, his smartest thing in tactical design is that he did not pursue the method of ground transmission and cutting propulsion, but instead played the role of Pirlo to the greatest extent!

Pirlo is old, and even Pirlo is one year older than Gerald!

But Pirlo, who is nearly 36 years old, is still active in the top stadium. The reason is actually very simple. He is completely different from Gerald's style that relies on physical fitness.

In other words, ten years ago, when Pirlo was considered to be his peak, did he rely on his physical confrontation, speed and explosive power, and agility to break through the world?

No!

What he relies on is football IQ, the overall view, the sense of rhythm of the game, and the skills under his feet that use softness to overcome hardness!

These abilities based in the world allow him to play a huge role in the team in his twilight years, because his pass is hard to buy!

When most teams need to make 20 yards in the offense after halftime, they need 3 or 4 players to cooperate with passing to achieve this effect, and Pirlo only needs his teammates to run out of time and then pass the ball to achieve the same effect, there are only two words for such a player to evaluate, Master.

Allegri asked the team to lower his posture in order to let Liverpool take the initiative to attack and press forward, which will allow Juventus' striker to have time to run in the frontcourt. Then when counterattacking, Pirlo can pass the ball in a medium and long distance and hit the counterattack to the front line as soon as possible!

Then the rest of the work is to cooperate with the forward team.

It has to be said that such a style of play still poses a certain threat to Liverpool, which in a sense made Liverpool's frontcourt oppression and counter-attack lose its effect.

Most of the time, Liverpool's counter-attack pressure will make opponents make mistakes when making a goal, which will lead to Liverpool being able to quickly regain the ball and continue to launch a fast break!

In the 7th minute of the game, Liverpool quickly passed and cut in the frontcourt. Casemiro hit the ball across to Kanter in front of Marchisio. The latter quickly transferred the attack to the left. Robertson assisted and drove straight in. Lichsteiner's defensive attention was on Gareth Bale. When Pereira rushed to intercept Robertson, Gareth Bale cut in the run, and Lichsteiner followed the defense to the inside, but what he didn't expect was that Robertson gave the ball along the straight pass along the side. Lichsteiner turned around and looked back, and suddenly saw Lewandowski pulling the side to respond!

Just as Lichsteiner was hesitating, Lewandowski knocked the ball across the penalty area from the front of the wing bottom line.

Garez Bell cut the ball and pulled the ball to the right when facing Bonucci. Bonucci was not completely overwhelmed. At the same time, Garez Bale pulled the ball to his right foot and shot, which was not very good, so he knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area.

Coutinho quickly forwarded and threw away Pirlo. Marchisio had a long way to return to defense. Chiellini immediately stepped forward to block, but Coutinho still shot the ball first!

Football flies straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!

Seeing that the ball was bound to make a goal, Buffon's left hand appeared on the line of the football flying. Buffon, who was swooping deep in front of the goal line, blocked the ball out of the baseline with his left hand!

Buffon, who completed a world-class save, stood up calmly and tightened his gloves again.

"Wow! Buffon's wonderful save. Coutinho's goal has not been better, but he still can't break through Buffon's ten fingers!

The Italian goalkeeper defended Juventus' goal with a wonderful save!"

Situ Yunbing sighed softly, it was a pity that the ball did not make the ball.

Buffon's wonderful save will inevitably be the highlight of the game. In today's European football world, Buffon is still the world's number one goalkeeper!

Even if the new generation has appeared Neuer, De Gea, Ter Stegen, Courtois, and Navas of the Mesozoic generation.

But among the gods, Buffon is still the most awesome!

The top goalkeepers actually perform similarly most of the time, but the difference is who is more stable!

When browsing the performance of these goalkeepers every week, it is not who lost many goals, but who made low-level mistakes. Other goalkeepers made low-level mistakes more or less regularly have become hot topics in the media, but Buffon rarely and almost cannot see them. However, according to his age, it is estimated that he will fall from the altar in another one or two years.

But according to his peak period, it is definitely a nearly god-like position in the history of European football, and has dominated the Italian national gate for more than 12 years!

Juventus may indeed not look as good as Liverpool in overall strength.

However, combined with technical and tactical confrontation, Juventus still has the power to fight!

Buffon is the one who defends Juventus' bottom line, with Pirlo in the offensive engine, and the rest depends on the performance of other players!

In the 13th minute of the game, Pirlo made a diagonal pass on the backcourt to assist Lichsteiner, who accelerated comfortably and dribbled the ball to the dangerous area of ​​the frontcourt offense. Facing Robertson, Lichsteiner directly passed the ball to the front of the bottom line of the penalty area.

Morata quickly stepped forward and grabbed the ball before Culibali returned to defend and controlled it. When he stopped the ball and adjusted, Culibali came. Morata made a move to kick back the ball, but his feet moved the ball to the bottom line. Culibali was shaken out of the cross line by him. Morata no longer hesitated and sent a cross ball.

Teves followed up in the middle to grab the spot, and Ter Stegen attacked and punched the ball first!

"Terstegen's decisive attack failed to make Teves seize the opportunity!

Juventus' offensive is indeed very sharp!

It can be said that Juventus bypassed Liverpool's midfield blockade!

Pirlo's pass is crucial!"

Kante and Casemiro were somewhat helpless.

In order to maintain oppression, they must keep a certain distance from Juventus' midfielders, Pereira, Vidal and Marchisio, so that they can immediately go forward and make a steal when they try to respond!

But in this way they stay away from their own restricted areas!

This makes it difficult for Pirlo to immediately return to defense and interception after sending the ball from the middle and long distances, but if they take the lead in retreating, Juventus' midfielder will just be in a passive position, and Liverpool's defense will fall into a passive position!

Because after following up in the middle, the edge and middle combination will form, then there are more possibilities for offense-derived changes!

The key is Pirlo's pass!

This is the extraordinary organizational ability. Perhaps it is not that one pass creates a threatening ball, but it creates a threat to the team's offensive pattern!

It is undeniable that superstars from the end of the 1970s to 1985 are more dazzling in quality than those from the 1985s, and there is a gap in level. Among the superstars born in the 1985s, although there are outstanding figures like Messi and Ronaldo who challenge the legendary status of football history, there is almost no other new superstar who can compete with Zidane, Xavi, Pirlo, Maldini, Nesta, Nedved, Carlos, Ronaldinho and other superstars.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zidane's retirement battle in the World Cup final in 2006 kicked off the ten-year retreat of the world football master. In the following ten years, one of the craftsmen in football retired and one less. By 2015, it can be said that the savvy star was almost extinct!
Chapter completed!
