Chapter 209 Eight Years Invincible
Vucinic's retreat was not only his own, but also directly withdrew Lazio's defense, which also gave Pepe a chance.
Diakite is still too reckless. Compared with Dias and Biala, Diakite is really not suitable as a late defender, so Pepe's oblique insertion is almost empty.
"It's empty~~~ Lazio's defense made a major mistake, Pepe made a diagonal thrust, there were no defensive players around him, a through pass, Vucinic a through pass."
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL~~~ Marchetti is not creating miracles. Facing Pepe, who is almost single-handed, Marchetti strikes at the first time, but he is still a step behind."
"The goal is scored~~~Simone Pepe, this is the third goal of the Juventus winger this season. It was Vucinic who assisted him with a through ball. The latter faced the attacking Marchetti with a clever push."
"This was a mistake by Lazio's defense. Diakite was too edgy. When he saw Vucinic retreating, he immediately followed up. At this time, Stankovicius had been pulled away by Matri."
"Could it be that Lazio's invincibility against Juventus will continue? Since the 03-04 season, Lazio has never defeated Lazio again."
This kind of embarrassing record was naturally mentioned by the media before the game. In the past few years, Lazio and Juventus have played against each other [-] times, but in these [-] games, Lazio's best result is only a draw.
The celebration ended and the game restarted. Lazio also put away their depressed mood and rejoined the game. However, Lazio's morale was greatly affected after falling behind by one goal.
In the next ten minutes, Lazio had almost no decent offense, which also made Lin Dong, who was in the front, very unhappy.
Lin Dong didn't have the ability to break through with the ball, so in the game, he could only stand at the front and wait for his teammates to pass the ball.
But now his teammates didn't pass the ball to his feet at all, firstly because he was hit by Juventus' first goal, and secondly because Juventus did a good job defensively.
But fortunately, Juventus failed to expand its lead. Although Lazio's offense was not satisfactory, it did a very good job defensively.
Know the shame and then be brave, this sentence is really suitable for Diakite, and this situation has appeared in Diakite more than once.
Coupled with Marchetti's excellent performance, Lazio kept the score at 0:1 at the end of the Juventus half.
For this result, the Lazio coach is still satisfied. As long as it is not expanded to two goals, then in the second half, Lazio will still have a chance.
Rea is satisfied, which means that Conte on the other side is dissatisfied. In fact, Conte has reasons to be dissatisfied, because before the referee blows the whistle, Juventus had at least two excellent opportunities to expand their lead, but they failed to grasp them. This undoubtedly left hidden dangers for the second half.
"Do you want to extend the winless game against Juventus to 14 games?" Rea asked the Lazio players in a bad tone in the locker room.
"I don't want to~~~" Except for Lin Dong, who is a green head, the one in the team is not an old fritter.
"If you don't want to, then show a little attitude of not wanting to. One goal behind is not the end of the world. Have you never been behind?"
"In the second half, we attacked. Since we are already behind, we don't need to estimate that Juventus is not invincible. Look at their position in the standings and they are still behind us."
Rea's words played a key role, because in the standings, Juventus is indeed still behind Lazio. At present, the leader of the league is still Lazio.
"We have studied it before the game. Juventus' offensive power is very poor. So far in the current league, half of Juventus' games have been drawn."
This is the No.13 round of the league. After the first round, Juventus has played eleven games. In these eleven games, Juventus had six draws.
While Rea was encouraging the players, Conte on the other side was also explaining the tactics of the second half to his disciples. Among them, Lin Dong became the most frequently mentioned name in the mouth of the Juventus coach.
In fact, from the fact that Chiellini and Bonucci switched defenses in the first half, it can be seen that Conte attaches great importance to Lin Dong.
After 15 minutes, the two sides returned to the field, Lazio made the first adjustment of the game in midfield, and Brocchi was replaced by Gonzalez.
This substitution was completely helpless. Marchisio is famous for being able to run, and Brocchi, who ran for half the time, obviously couldn't keep up physically. In this case, Rhea could only choose to make a substitution.
Gonzalez, who had just been replaced, also proved his existence with a tackle. When Vidal sent the ball to Marchisio's feet, Gonzalez saw the timing and made a sliding tackle to the bottom, bringing him down with the ball.
However, Gonzalez's dismount did not seem to have any effect, because after Juventus sent a set ball, Marchisio sent a good pass to Matri, who took the ball with his back, and then turned around and shot wide.
Two minutes later, Lin Dong finally completed his first shot of the game. Although Lin Dong created a lot of chances throughout the first half, he just lacked a finishing touch.
It was a long-range shot, a pass from Hernanes. After Hernanes received the pass, Klose broke in and started to move forward, changing positions with Lin Dong.
Hernanes sent a straight pass to the retreating Lin Dong.
Turning around and volleying vigorously, without any intention of dribbling the ball, Lin Dong kicked decisively, even though it was 40 meters away from the Juventus goal.
"Beautiful~~~Lin Dong's long-range shot, Lin Dong is very decisive, a long-range shot from 40 meters away."
"Oh~~~ Power, this long-range shot is too powerful. Even if it is a long-range shot from 40 meters away, Buffon still dare not take it. Lazio's corner kick."
For the corner kick, Lazio chose a tactical corner kick. It’s not that Lazio has never won a corner kick before, but Juventus’s air defense ability is very good. Lazio did not take advantage of it, so this time, Lazio will not directly open the penalty area for the corner kick.
Gonzalez sent the ball forward, and the ball came to the feet of Ledesma, who sent another kick to the feet of the Brazilian Hernanes outside the penalty area.
"Long shot~~~ It's still a long shot. Lazio played very smartly in this attack. Juventus was tricked. The Brazilian Hernanes" Lin Dong, Klose, Diakite and a series of headers were all crowded in Juventus' penalty area.
This directly created an illusion for Juventus. Although Lazio played a tactical corner kick, they would still send the ball into the penalty area and send it to someone's header.
