Now the game has reached the 73rd minute, Juventus has not scored yet, and the score on the field is still 0-0.
Before this game, Yun Sheng expected to encounter difficulties, but difficulties did come.
Among the fans of the five major European leagues, Premier League fans like to say "There are no weaklings in the Premier League" to prove the strength of the Premier League.
There is some truth to this statement.
Because the Premier League's commercial value is extremely high and its operation is very good, even the weak teams that are relegated can still get nearly 100 million euros in broadcast and advertising revenue every season. This makes the Premier League teams abundant in funds, even if they are weak in the transfer market. You can also spend a lot of money on travel.
And because of the fast and fierce style of play in the Premier League, it has created many classic cases of the weak defeating the strong. This is one of the reasons why the Premier League is so beautiful to watch.
However, in Yun Sheng's view, if you look at the difficulty of the game alone, Serie A is also worthy of the saying "There are no weak teams in Serie A".
Italy's chain defense is their specialty. As long as they are a Serie A team, they are all very knowledgeable in defense. Even if it is an ordinary relegation team's defense, their defensive ability is definitely top-notch, let alone a strong Serie A team. Team.
Take today's opponent Udinese as an example. Their strength cannot be underestimated.
Although Yun Sheng was full of confidence when mobilizing before the game and gave the players the confidence to win, he himself was not absolutely sure of victory.
Udinese performed poorly last season. They ended up ranking 15th in the league, only three places away from the relegation zone, which was very dangerous.
Therefore, many people think that they are an underdog, but Yunsheng knows very well that in the memory of future generations, Udinese was in great shape this season. Not only did they win consecutive games, but they also defeated Roma, Lazio, Juventus, etc. at the end of the season. A strong team, they forced their way into the top four of the league and stole tickets to the European war from many Serie A giants. With their excellent overall style of play, no one in Serie A dares to underestimate them!
Take this game as an example. Although they gave Juventus a lot of chances to score, there were not many absolute chances to score. Most of the time, Juventus forwards just barely kicked off. The possibility of scoring is extremely small. Coupled with the wonderful performance of goalkeeper Handanovic, Udinese's defense is as stable as a mountain.
Handanovic's outstanding performance in the past few seasons finally attracted the attention of Inter Milan. In the summer of 2012, he finally joined Inter Milan as Vieri predicted.
In the attack in the frontcourt just now, Ballack's powerful long-range shot? The goal was right in front of him. In the end, Handanovic, who was in excellent condition, punched out with both fists and failed to break the deadlock.
Seeing that the goal was not scored? Yun Sheng shook his head repeatedly. It was a pity.
The reason why he replaced Guti and kept Ballack just now was because he hoped that his long-range shot could make a difference.
But looking at Handanovic's divine performance, Yun Sheng was helpless.
He is already a top goalkeeper, but he performs extraordinarily well in this game? What can I do?
In desperation? Yun Sheng looked at the system talisman.
Now he has a total of 8 spells in his hand:
[Haunted by dreams] B, [Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other] B, [Good luck comes] C, [Substitute soldiers] C, [Extreme joy leads to sorrow] B.
[If you hold a contract] B? [Bian Que is alive] B, [Hua Tuo is alive] B.
The first five spells were drawn in the past few weeks? The last three spells were left over from last season.
Yun Sheng took a look and found that none of them seemed to be useful in this game.
The substitute quota has been used up? Now there is no blessing or disaster for the team, and the opponent's head coach did not celebrate because of the draw...
Yun Sheng shouted loudly on the sidelines: Let the players press forward boldly, especially the two full-backs. Be bold and don't be afraid of taking risks.
At this time, the time has reached the 86th minute.
During a breakthrough from the wing, Pepe was tackled by the opponent's defender Zapata and received a set kick on the left side of the front court.
The ball is far away from the goal, and the angle is not good, so it is impossible to shoot directly.
All Juventus offensive players pressed close to the penalty area, waiting for opportunities.
Grosso ran up and asked Pepe to go ahead and take the penalty himself.
Among Italian players of this era, Grosso can be said to be a very rare technical full-back.
His breakthroughs and dribbles are excellent, and he is also good at passing and shooting. Especially in the 2006 World Cup, he became famous in one battle and became one of the important contributors to Italy's victory in the World Cup that year. If it weren't for the continuous injuries, maybe his career would be more brilliant.
Standing in front of the ball, Grosso looked in the direction of the penalty area. Trezeguet, Del Piero, and Iaquinta all entered the penalty area. Even center back Barzagli also stepped up, waiting for the attack.
Outside the penalty area, Ballack, Diego and Pepe are waiting for the response. Whether it is to pass the ball after receiving the ball, or to shoot directly with great force, they are all good choices.
Grosso backed away slowly. He had made his decision.
"Grosso is going to take the free kick. Who is he going to pass the ball to?"
"The ball was passed into the penalty area! This ball caused chaos in the Udinese penalty area!"
"Who got the ball? The ball flew into the net!"
"The ball went in!!!"
"At the end of the game, Juventus finally broke the deadlock and scored a goal!"
"Trezeguet rushed towards the corner flagpole from the penalty area. It seems that he scored the goal!"
"Let's watch the video replay: Trezeguet jumped high in the crowd and headed the ball hard! The ball was too close, and Handanovic had no way to do anything!"
"1-0! Juventus broke the deadlock and took the lead!"
Di Livio shouted excitedly in the live broadcast room. He no longer had the stability and peace he had just now. The team he supported finally scored a goal. This feeling of relief was really great.
Vieri curled his lips: "It took so long to score a goal against a team that was relegated last season. Juventus' reconstruction is not very good. And there is still time, and Juventus is still at risk of being equalized."
Maybe the Juventus players were a little slack after the goal, or maybe Vieri was really crow-mouthed. After Udinese restarted, Juventus suddenly encountered a huge risk!
"Udinese kicked off again and their formation has started to press forward. It seems they are going to attack."
"The young player Cuadrado who just came on the field suddenly accelerated with the ball, and he shook off Pepe's defense!"
"Grosso has already pressed forward, and he has no time to chase back!"
"Cuadrado dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Juventus is in danger!"
"Chiellini and Barzagli stood in a good position to prevent Cuadrado from having a chance to shoot!"
"The Colombian boy chose to pass the ball to the top of the penalty area!"
"Sanchez, Udinese's top star, has received the ball! Will he shoot directly?"
