As soon as the game started, Roma attacked very fiercely. In the Olympic Stadium in Rome, 100,000 fans cheered in unison, which really put a lot of psychological pressure on the away players.
Although the Juventus players are all battle-hardened and experienced players, under this influence, they still cheered up and were extremely cautious.
In the first fifteen minutes of the game, almost all Roma were suppressing Juventus. Their strikers Osvaldo, Borini and Totti bombarded the Juventus goal, keeping Buffon busy.
The left back Heinze and the right back Rossi also frequently assisted forward and used passes to help the forwards find scoring opportunities.
On Juventus' side, because it was an away game, they did not attack rashly today. They focused on defense at the beginning and then waited for opportunities to attack.
But once they retreat, it will be difficult for them to press forward. Especially center Trezeguet. He stayed alone in the Roma half, with no support and almost no support from the backcourt. The only few passes found him, and he played one-on-one against two or three players. In the end, the defensive players didn't even have a chance to shoot.
Roma's vice-captain De Rossi is in the midfield, with the energetic Pjanic constantly pushing forward, and with the assistance of Perrotta and new aid Gago, Roma's midfield configuration today is very strong.
Watching the opponent's fierce attack, Yun Sheng asked the defensive players to get closer and not give the opponent a chance to enter the penalty area. At most, they would only shoot from a distance.
But despite this, whether it is Totti, Pjanic, De Rossi, or Perrotta, they all have strong long-range shooting capabilities, and they bombarded the goal many times, causing Buffon to suffer a lot.
Faced with the team's unfavorable situation, Yunsheng had no choice but to make adjustments. Just 30 minutes into the game, he removed Diego and let the tough guy Vidal come on, with Vidal and Ballack forming a double midfielder. Fight the opponent's attack.
Coupled with Pirlo sitting in the organizational midfielder position, Juventus has now moved the entire formation backwards. Del Piero and Raul have even moved from the shadow forward position to the attacking midfielder position. The overall Christmas tree is much more compact.
After Vidal came on the scene, Juventus' defense obviously stabilized. He and Ballack, two strong men, were like two mountains, standing in front of the penalty area, blocking Roma offensive players who attempted long shots and passes.
In the next ten minutes, Roma's offensive quality and efficiency dropped significantly. They organized many offensives, but nothing was gained. During this period, there was not even a shot that hit the goal frame.
The referee blew the whistle to end the first half. Neither team made any achievements and returned to the locker room to listen to the head coach's arrangements for the second half.
Back in the locker room, Yun Sheng first praised the players' performance: "Guys, Roma performed very well in this game. They took advantage of their home court to attack fiercely. Their performance in the first half was absolutely world-class." But I am very pleased that your defense also did a good job and did not let the score fall behind, leaving us with enough offensive possibilities in the second half."
"I have to make substitution adjustments in the second half. Raul and Trezeguet come down and rest. You performed very well in the first half, but you received too little midfield support. You have done your best in this game. Ronaldinho Van Persie came on as a substitute in the second half. Speed, go to the field and tell the two guys who are warming up, so that they don't have to defend in the second half and can play whatever they want on the offensive end. I only have one request for them - to score goals. !”
Raul and Trezeguet, who were substituted, nodded and had no complaints. They know very well that it is not that they are in bad shape in this game, but that they are not suitable for playing in this situation. Neither of them are players known for their speed and dribbling. When Ronaldinho and Van Persie are replaced, although they are grabbing They are not as good as the two in terms of ability, but they are more likely to use their personal skills to create opportunities. This is what Juventus needs most when they are currently in trouble.
At the beginning of the second half, Yunsheng discovered that Roma had also made substitution adjustments. Osvaldo and Borini were substituted, and Bojan and Borriello came on as substitutes. It seemed that Roma still looked forward to scoring goals as soon as possible in the second half, so they replaced two new summer strikers.
But the Roma players did not expect that it would be Juventus who scored the first goal in the second half.
Just ten minutes into the second half, Vidal successfully intercepted the ball and passed it to Pirlo. Pirlo made a long pass and found Ronaldinho on the right side of the Roma penalty area. Ronaldinho made two consecutive fake moves and swung away. He played two defensive players, just like an old man playing with a child, very relaxed.
Dribbling the ball towards the small penalty area, he poked the ball lightly before goalkeeper Stekelenburg struck, and the ball went straight into the far corner of the goal!
1 to 0! Juventus finally scored a valuable goal!
Less than five minutes after Ronaldinho scored, the Brazilian genius advanced with the ball again. This time three defensive players surrounded Ronaldinho. They were determined not to let him move forward even if they knocked down the Brazilian. !
But this time Ronaldinho did not break through with the ball, but chose to pass the ball to the center.
At this time, Van Persie arrived! The Dutch forward volleyed directly from the top of the penalty area with the instep of the ball without stopping the ball!
The ball was powerful and heavy, with a huge arc. Goalkeeper Stekelen flew to save it with all his strength, but did not touch the ball!
Van Persie's ball went straight into the dead center of the goal!
The ball went in! ! !
2 to 0! Juventus expanded its lead!
Van Persie, who has been stuck in a scoring drought, finally opened his Serie A goal account, and his shot was very beautiful!
After two goals, Roma's arrogance was suddenly dispelled a lot.
The current Roma team is excellent both offensively and defensively, and they definitely have the strength of a world-class team.
The only thing that affects them from becoming a world-class team is the players' mentality and the control of the rhythm of the game.
If they had scored first in the opening game, perhaps Juventus would have suffered a more exciting attack from Roma now.
But after Roma lost a goal, there was a brief disconnect in their midfield and backcourt. They didn't know whether to continue attacking or temporarily stabilize their defense. After losing the second goal, Roma collapsed instantly, and the players were like In a mess, the frenzied offense in the first half immediately deflated.
Although the two new aids Bojan and Borriello have strong personal abilities, their overall cooperation is definitely not as good as Osvaldo and Borini. Roma's several threatening passes ended up being just a few forwards. Fighting with soldiers wasted an excellent opportunity.
Seeing this scene, Yun Sheng on the sidelines was completely relieved, the game was stable!
Juventus only needs to do one thing next, which is to work hard, continue to score more goals, consolidate the victory, and kill the opponent!
