As the Serie A class bully, Juventus's strength is beyond doubt. And their current helm is the famous Silver Fox Lippi-the collapse of Italy in the World Cup in South Africa in the previous life cannot be completely blamed on Lippi, nor can Lippi's brilliant coaching career be wiped out just because of one failure.
As a coach, Lippi is absolutely successful, the Champions League, the league, the World Cup, he almost won the championship trophy that he could and could get.
Lippi, who has been sitting on the coaching bench of the visiting team today, saw that Bayern had no aggressive intentions and began to walk to the sidelines to signal Juventus to press on.
As Leon thought, Juventus's hunger for three-pointers far exceeds them. Bayern's narrow away win over Manchester United in the first round gave Bayern the capital to fight Juventus.
For the Bianconeri, failing to win Basel in the first round is definitely a major mistake-a low-level mistake.
However, it is impossible for a really strong team to make mistakes every day. For example, in this game, after Lippi gave the order, Juventus's midfielder used all their strength to fight and the premise of the defense to push the home team back to Bayern. own half.
Leon also led his teammates to retreat in an orderly manner. Compared with AC Milan, this Juventus team is obviously much more terrifying, but Juventus has a weakness, that is, cup games are not their strong point.
This can be seen from the fact that their record in the Champions League is far inferior to that of AC Milan. Speaking of which, Juventus is very similar to the River Plate that Leon played for before.
This is not because they are not strong enough, but because too stable teams like River Plate and Juventus often have insufficient responses when faced with emergencies in the cup.
The league is relatively stable, and the cup is more explosive, but that was Juventus in the past. You must know that Lippi, the current Juventus helm, is a tactical master, and his on-the-spot response is also very good. This is why Lippi can lead Juventus to the Champions League s reason...
Therefore, this Juventus team is more terrifying than AC Milan, because the helm of this Juventus team is Silver Fox Lippi-for this cunning and experienced old guy, Leon, who is not careless enough, also leads his teammates to firmly guard the position ...
After Juventus's line turned to suppress Bayern, Zebra Prince Del Piero and Steel Warrior Nedved also used a clever two-for-one to create a scoring opportunity for the Bianconeri.
This is Piero's dribbling in the midfield. Facing the youngest Golden Globe winner in history, Piero calmly avoided Leon's defense after cooperating with his teammates...
Leon, who was out of position, hurriedly chased back, but he couldn't fight back from Piero's feet-oh my god, Piero's foot skills are definitely one of the best among Italian players, Leon wants to grab the ball from his feet It wasn't easy going.
Since he couldn't grab the ball, Leon was also interfering with Piero-it turned out that Leon's interference had an effect. Piero originally wanted to shoot directly, and then Leon kept harassing him from the side behind him , which made Piero unable to calmly fire in the Piero area...
So Del Piero handed the ball to the high center forward Trezeguet. Trezeguet, who was holding the ball with his back, wanted to turn around and volley. Fortunately, Bayern's central defender Link used his body wind to block Trezeguet's shot at a critical moment. The shot also destroyed Juventus' threatening attack this time.
"No, no, Juve's attack power is too strong. The biggest difference between them and AC Milan is that they don't have a single core. Del Piero, they still have Nedved, and Nedved is watched dead. Besides them, there is Camoranesi who joined them this summer...Trezeguet is one of the top centers in the world, and our man-to-man zone defense can't completely freeze them." Leon's brain was running at high speed thinking Ways to fight Juventus.
Now it seems that the method of defensive counterattack is somewhat unworkable. Bayern's defense can't withstand Juventus's multi-point attack.
Scattered offensive points, both technology and speed are a major feature of Juventus, but such Juventus's foot control is definitely not as good as Bayern met in the first round of the group stage. AC Milan and Deportivo.
Therefore, Bayern must control the ball at their own feet. Sometimes ball control is indeed a defense of changing directions. Since Juventus's multi-point offense is sharp, Bayern must put the focus of the game between the two sides on the midfield. Juve's most threatening players were stretched as far as possible and then split the defense.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball, Leon also told his teammates his views on the game. The teammates also listened to Leon's instructions and changed the strategy of man-to-man zone defense. Bayern gave up man-to-man and directly adopted zone defense— ——This can prevent Juventus players from tearing up the space by using their excellent personal abilities.
Once the ball is stolen, Bayern's defenders will use a quick kick to hand the ball to Leon-Juventus, who want to take all three points, have to press Bayern's players in the midfield to speed up the game The rhythm of progress.
But the current Bayern is not the former Bayern. After Leonwell joined, the passing and cooperation ability of Bayern players has been strengthened a lot-after all, they have been playing ball-control tactics for most of the season.
The last game against Manchester United was really crucial. That game once again tempered the ability of Bayern players to play key games. After being tied by Basel, he seemed a little anxious.
Twenty minutes passed quickly in the first half. During these twenty minutes, Bayern and Juventus both attacked and defended each other, and no one could take advantage of the other.
The battle between the two teams in the midfield can be described as extremely bloody. In the first half of the game, only 20 minutes into the game, two players from both sides received yellow cards. On Bayern's side were Schweinsteiger and Owen Hager. Reeves, Nedved and Edgar Davis at Juventus.
"Both sides seem to be focusing on the midfield today... So far, the two sides have basically not cooperated smoothly. This is indeed a very cautious game!" Derek, the commentator of German satellite TV, also described it in the same way. The first twenty minutes of the first half between Juventus and Bayern Munich.
The players of the two teams are not desperate. Bayern is playing at home. With the support of tens of thousands of fans at the scene, they are full of fighting spirit.
Although Juventus is an away game, but they want to get three points more, they have completely let go of the airs and demeanor of the Serie A class bully-there are many small moves and rough defensive moves in the defense of both sides.
"The game is on the right track." Leon, who has been arranging Bayern's offense and defense behind the scenes, also said with satisfaction. This situation is what he wants, chaos, the more chaos the better.
Only in chaos can there be opportunities to fish in troubled waters! If the two fronts have set up their positions and lineups, and then you attack one round at a time, it will be difficult for Bayern to beat Juventus. After all, Bayern is behind Juventus in terms of lineup and strength. It is useless for you to have Leon, the European footballer. Football is always an event for eleven players.
The overall strength is not good, so Bayern will naturally muddle the water, and they are waiting for Juventus' mistakes. This season, Bayern has also been cultivated enough patience by Leon. This Bundesliga giant is definitely better than the urgent Juventus in terms of patience.
Throughout the first half of the game, Serie A class bully Juventus was brought into a weird rhythm by Bayern Munich. They spent too much energy in defense and fighting, and it was difficult for them to play effectively when attacking—— Although Bayern's situation is the same as theirs, Bayern has more threatening offenses than Juventus.
This is one of the advantages of Bayern, that is, they have a stable playmaker, Leon can always use a long pass or a sharp kick to open up Bayern's offensive situation, he is like a Like a lighthouse, it illuminates the road ahead of the Bayern chariot.
On Juve's coaching bench, Lippi became more and more anxious the more he watched! Obviously, so far, the Bianconeri has been led by the nose by the big Bayern chariot!
But although Lippi was anxious and made several deployments, Juventus seemed to have fallen into the swamp that Lionwell had carefully arranged for them-the more they tried to climb out, the deeper they sank...
Juventus, who did not play well, also suffered a heavy blow before the end of the first half!
Edgar Davies expressed dissatisfaction with Leon falling down as soon as he touched him before the end of the first half. Edgar Davies, who thought Leon was acting, complained to the referee-this guy ate him The second yellow card in the half-time game, the two topaz God of War cards were successfully combined into a Ruby God of War card.
Of course, it would be fine if Davis just complained, and the referee wouldn't just send him off like this. The problem is that this guy was rude to the referee. Which referee is not proficient in the national curses of European countries?
The national curse was all out, and of course the referee decisively took out the Ruby God of War card.
Davis was sent off with a red card, which seriously disrupted Lippi's deployment! And Davis's sending off also made the mentality of the Juventus players on the field even worse.
Ten people challenged them and they wanted to attack, but they were choked by Bayern's defensive counterattack-Nimma, we only have ten people, you press it out! Press it out!
Here, Bayern doesn't press out even if they die, even if it is an offense, they only invest in the frontcourt players. Leon is consuming Juventus' patience and looking for opportunities.
Soon after Davies was sent off, Bayern scored in stoppage time. - who said we don't attack?
Hargreaves steals the ball from Nedved's feet in midfield, before Hargreaves hands the ball to Leon who runs forward. Tooth couldn't get used to it all at once-because Davis would interfere with Leon when he plugged in, but now? Davis was sent off, and it was the 44th minute when he was sent off. At this embarrassing time, Lippi did not make personnel adjustments. Lippi wanted to wait until halftime to make adjustments.
So, the Juventus players, who are used to the defense of Davis, who is not afraid to run to death, suddenly became chaotic. The top defenders on their defense looked at each other, as if they were saying to each other, you superior.
Juventus' hesitation in defense allowed Leon to deliver a high-quality pass without interference - Andes bomber Pizarro skimmed in front of Juve's defense, facing the world's best Buffon, one of the outstanding goalkeepers, Pizarro calmly pushed the far corner...
Even with eight hands, Buffon couldn't stop this high-quality shot!
One to zero! Bayern broke the balance, which made Juventus, who was eager to score away points, fall into a comprehensive passive!
