In recent times, many strong Serie A teams have been exhausted due to two-front battles in the league and cup competitions.
For example, today's Juventus and Roma have gone through an intensive schedule and absolutely don't want to play another 30 minutes of overtime.
Now it's the 80th minute of the game, and everyone hopes that the winner will be decided in the last ten minutes.
After Raul came off the field, Diego and Del Piero were also substituted, with Grosso and Zheng Zhi coming off the bench.
In order to ensure the offensive power of the frontcourt, Yunsheng directly asked Grosso to take the left midfielder position and continue to strengthen the offense.
After Grosso came on the stage, the attack from the left continued to be fierce.
The task Yunsheng gave Grosso was to strive for goals. Unless it was an extremely special situation, there was no need to retreat to defend. Grosso was happy now.
Grosso originally played as a full-back. Because of his outstanding defensive ability, he was transformed into an attacking full-back. Later, in the national team and club, he performed the offensive and defensive tasks perfectly. Now he is told that he does not need to consider defense and is pure. After the attack, Grosso was in a good mood.
Not long after he came on the field, he took advantage of his physical strength and frequently moved on the wing of Roma, making the Roma players exhausted.
Roma's three substitutions were all in the midfield and frontcourt. The two defenders who received yellow cards not only suffered a serious decline in physical fitness, but also feared receiving a red card and did not dare to make a move easily.
After a Roma attack, Totti's powerful shot was saved by Buffon. Chiellini got the ball and passed it to Grosso in front of him. Grosso accelerated with the ball and began to rush towards the Roma half. !
Roma players quickly returned to defense, they didn't want to concede the ball at the last minute!
Now the game is about to enter injury time!
At this time, Roma has invested a lot of offensive forces, and they will never allow the team to lose the ball at the last moment!
Grosso dribbled the ball all the way to the edge of the penalty area! He was surrounded by Roma defenders and had no chance to cut inside!
He suddenly made a long pass to the right side of the penalty area!
Salihamikic receives the ball! The Bosnian veteran took the starting rotation today and performed very steadily!
Salihamikic knocked the ball back near the baseline and into the penalty area!
Ballack hits the ball and shoots!
The ball went in! ! !
In the 89th minute of the game, Juventus finally broke the deadlock!
This time it was a wonderful collaboration between the two wide players, with two consecutive accurate passes, which opened up enough space for Ballack. Ballack stopped the ball for a moment, shot directly, and the ball hit the net!
1 to 0! Juventus is in sight of victory!
The teammates hugged Ballack tightly and were so excited!
This is already two consecutive games in which the German midfielder has scored!
After the winter break, Ballack is one of the players who has recovered the fastest!
In the remaining two minutes, Juventus played steadily and retreated across the board, successfully holding on to their one-goal lead.
The referee's whistle sounds and the game is over!
In this key battle of the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, Juventus defeated Roma with difficulty and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia!
The four teams that advanced this time are all the top teams in Serie A: Juventus, Lazio, Inter Milan and AC Milan.
In the subsequent draw ceremony, Juventus and Inter Milan were drawn into a group. Their semi-final opponent was Mourinho's team. Two semi-final competitions will begin in late April and early May.
However, it is still early. Many strong teams such as Inter Milan and AC Milan have no time to think about the domestic cup situation. They need to grab points as soon as possible and strive to maintain the points lead before the Champions League quarter-finals in February. Overtaking Juventus to reach the top, even if it is not possible, insist on not falling behind in the ranking.
But the next period of time will be more beneficial to Juventus. From the end of January to the end of April, Juventus only has the league in front of them, and they can go all out to win points and maintain the top position.
After surviving three difficult games after the winter break, Juventus quickly regained its form. In addition to the extraordinary performance of the main players, the substitute players have also improved a lot.
Most of the spells drawn during this period were still [Training Bonus], and occasionally there were a few [Offensive Bonus], and Yun Sheng also played them at critical moments.
Therefore, the team is not only in good training condition, but also has won consecutive games at this stage.
From January 30 to February 27, Serie A ushered in a total of six rounds of league games. The players were still able to accept the occasional double matches a week.
In these six games, Juventus won six consecutive victories and continued to consolidate its position at the top of the standings!
Fiorentina, Palermo, Palmer, Cesena, Catania, Bari, although some teams caused a lot of trouble to Juventus in the first half, but now they face the resurgent Juventus. There is no way to resist.
In the 28th round of Serie A on March 5, Juventus slaughtered Brescia with a score of 8-0, and its offensive power shocked the Apennines!
After being tied by Udinese in the twentieth round of Serie A, Juventus has won eight consecutive victories and firmly occupied the top spot in the standings!
Not only that, but what makes Yunsheng most gratified is that in these games, the entire Juventus team is in great shape and has blossomed more!
The golden strike combination of Del Piero, Raul and Trezeguet scored 20 goals in seven games! Almost reaching an average of one goal per game!
World-class midfielders Guti and Ballack also provided wonderful assists and often scored goals to help the team score goals.
Through this period of competition, Yunsheng obviously found that Diego was improving very quickly. Although he is an excellent dribbler, he is often criticized for relying too much on his own skills and being too independent. After a period of running-in and improvement, coupled with the guidance of world-class midfielders such as Ballack and Guti, Diego's handling of the ball in the midfield and frontcourt is more reasonable. Not only does he repeatedly break through and create murderous opportunities, but he can also After attracting the defense, he very smartly passes the threatening ball to the forward and contributes assists.
Rotation players such as Iaquinta and Pepe also seized valuable opportunities to help the team win goals.
Zheng Zhi, the fourth captain of Juventus and the captain of China, also performed very well in seven games, contributing 3 goals and 4 assists, defending his honor as the fourth captain with his outstanding performance.
Yu Dabao also got a lot of playing opportunities in these seven games, scoring two goals and two assists. Yun Sheng is very satisfied with his progress.
Under the step-by-step guidance of four masters, this young Chinese forward's technical level has improved by leaps and bounds.
In addition to the outstanding performance of the offensive players, Yunsheng is also very satisfied with the defensive end.
In seven consecutive league games, Juventus has only conceded a total of 4 goals, and has kept clean sheets in five games. The defensive end is very stable.
The central defender combination of Barzagli and Metzelder is world-class, and Chiellini is also constantly improving towards a world-class defender.
The young rotation defender Bonucci also showed that he was as good as the main players. Yun Sheng was even worried about the choice of starting central defender.
Juventus is making great strides forward, and they are getting closer and closer to the Serie A championship this season!
