Currently in the lower half of the Serie A standings, Lecce is only three points away from the relegation zone. They dominated Serie B last season and stormed into Serie A, but they soon discovered that the current Serie A competition is too fierce.
Their ambitions for this season were completely evaporated in just three games.
Facing a top team like Juventus, the only thing Lecce can do is to try to take advantage of the home court advantage and leave a draw.
They absolutely dare not expect victory...
During the entire first half of this game, Lecce did not even have a shot on goal. They defended desperately and did not even send a forward on the field.
However, because of this situation, many Juventus offensive players attacked wildly and still could not break the deadlock under the defense of human shields.
At the beginning of the second half, Yunsheng removed Motta, Barzagli and Diego and replaced them with Pepe, Iaquinta and Zheng Zhi.
After using up three cards in one go, Yun Sheng is bound to win this game!
Although Yun Sheng was anxious, he still did not forget to comfort the three players who were replaced, especially Diego. Yun Sheng specifically explained to him the reason for replacing him.
"Man, the opponent's defense in today's game was very fierce, and there was a positional battle near the penalty area. There was not much space for you to display your skills, so I let players like Iaquinta and Zheng Zhi have good headers and impact. On the pitch, they are better suited to deal with Lecce."
Diego nodded with gratitude on his face: "Sir, thank you for your willingness to explain to me. You are the head coach. I will definitely follow your arrangements. Thank you for respecting me."
Yun Sheng patted the Brazilian genius on the shoulder to show encouragement.
Compared with many Brazilian talents, Diego may not be the most talented, but his discipline is definitely top-notch. Whether he is playing in the Bundesliga or now in Serie A, there is very little off-field news about Diego. News about clubbing and drinking have never been related to this young man. And Diego's wife Bruna is very virtuous and takes good care of her husband's life.
In the parallel world of later generations, perhaps Diego's career was not very successful, but his life was very happy and complete.
After the three offensive players came on the court, Juventus' offensive became more intense, but despite this, they still failed to break the deadlock for a long time.
Misfortune never comes singly. In the 77th minute of the game, Iaquinta, who had just replaced him, was injured and fell to the ground after a fight for the top, and had to retire from the game. After the game, it was diagnosed that Iaquinta had a calf muscle strain and would need to be out for about two weeks.
Now Juventus has not scored a goal, and the team once again has one less player, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to them.
If Lecce had no intention of counterattack, perhaps Juventus' situation would be even more dangerous...
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Lecce players were extremely excited!
They got an important draw at home and are a little further away from the relegation zone.
Behind them, Sampdoria has suffered consecutive defeats and is still in the relegation zone.
The competition at the bottom of the Serie A standings is fierce, and the competition for European competition seats is even more intense.
After two consecutive draws, Juventus, which was still in good form before, has fallen from fifth in the league to seventh in the league.
The four teams AC Milan, Inter Milan, Lazio and Roma firmly occupy the top four positions in the standings.
Naples and Udinese have also surpassed Juventus and squeezed the Bianconeri out of the European theater.
In major media, criticisms about Juventus have once again arose.
The more praise a person receives, the more slander he may suffer.
Now Yunsheng is facing this situation.
After five consecutive draws at the beginning of the season, Juventus was not far from the relegation zone, and Yunsheng was even considered by the media to be on the verge of dismissal.
The subsequent five-game winning streak caused the media to quickly change their tone and call Yunsheng the hope of Juventus' revival in the new season.
But unexpectedly, Yunsheng was criticized by the media again after just two draws in a row.
"Football Market": "Juventus' two consecutive draws in the recent period are not just a loss of a few points, but also highlight the current troubles that the Juventus team is encountering. Now as long as we face this kind of continuous battle, Juventus' state It’s very unstable, and this has a lot to do with Yunsheng’s recruitment issues in the summer.”
"Although the stars in the current team are shining brightly, and the new players Raul, Ballack, and Guti are performing well, they are still old after all, and their physical strength is a big problem. Moreover, Yunsheng's recruitment efforts this season are not enough, and the bench The depth needs to continue to be improved, and the strength gap between their substitute players and the main players is still not small."
"Football Market" made a fuss about Yunsheng's player transfers and criticized Yunsheng's summer transfer strategy, while "Gazzetta dello Sport" criticized Yunsheng's tactical system and style of play.
"The biggest problem for Juventus now is that they are helpless in the face of dense defense! Although breaking dense defense is currently an international problem in international football, as the youngest Champions League champion coach, Yunsheng should do better. But in fact, When I was coaching the team before, Yunsheng was often unable to do anything when faced with the opponent's dense defense."
"During the Cottbus period, Yunsheng won the double crown with a sneak attack. No one took Cottbus seriously that season. Strong teams such as Bayern, Dortmund and Werder Bremen, who Will he set up an iron barrel formation when playing Cottbus? That's why Yunsheng used two sharp strikers, Adriano and Cassano, to snatch food from a group of tigers and win the double championship in a sneak attack."
"During his time in Monaco, Yunsheng did not encounter much defensive pressure. French Ligue 1 teams like to attack and respect technology. They almost don't like to defend. Even the relegation teams often make aggressive moves when facing Monaco. Attack. At that time, the Monaco team had stars such as Recoba, Gudjohnsen, and Shevchenko. Their offensive ability was first-rate, and it was reasonable to win the championship for two consecutive years.”
"In last season's Champions League, Monaco also coincidentally encountered a group of opponents who were good at attacking. Manchester United, Arsenal, Stuttgart... none of these teams were defensive experts. Monaco had the upper hand in the confrontation. And in In the final against Mo's defense, they were also very lucky. They just scored consecutive lucky goals and won the championship by chance."
"Look at this season, Yunsheng's tactical system cannot be tolerated in Serie A! Every team here is a defensive expert. The chain defense is as solid as concrete, leaving Yunsheng at a loss. The previous five consecutive victories are just a coincidence. . I am sure that these two draws are just the beginning. Juventus will definitely be defeated in the future. As long as the opponent defends with all its strength, Juventus under Yunsheng will be helpless!"
