When the referee blew the half-time whistle, the Monaco players walked off the field confidently with hope and a goal.
Although the Juventus players were leading the score, they were a little depressed because their opponents pulled a goal back at the last moment.
Back in the locker room, Yun Sheng looked at the players and smiled easily.
"Guys, looking at your current performance, I really wonder if I remembered it wrong. Are we lagging behind now?"
Del Piero whispered: "Sir, we are just a little unwilling to concede the goal at the last moment."
Yun Sheng waved his hand: "It's nothing. There is a lot of luck involved in set kicks. It's not your fault for conceding the ball just now. Don't blame yourself. It's a good thing that you were able to take the lead in the first half. I once said You said that against the current Monaco team, as long as we don’t fall behind in the first half, we can’t lose the whole game!”
"Look at our bench, Trezeguet, Diego, Yu Dabao, Vidal... Even though Guti is suspended and Motta is injured and does not come, our bench is still strong! And on Monaco's bench, There is still a big gap between the strength of young players such as Germain, Zeng Cheng and Gakpe and the starting players. When the physical fitness of Monaco's main players declines in the second half, that's when we score again."
Yunsheng's prediction was good. This was indeed a headache for Makelele, but he had no choice. The bench was not deep enough, which was indeed a flaw.
In the locker room, Makelele told the players: "Don't attack too hard in the second half, and be sure to properly conserve your energy. After all, our young players on the bench are inexperienced, so you have to hold on longer. Especially the forwards. Players, don’t waste your energy by running around in a wide area, but look for opportunities for a fatal blow.”
The tactical thinking of both sides has been adjusted. At the beginning of the second half, the game situation also changed a lot.
At the beginning of the first half, Monaco's offensive was very fierce. Although Juventus' offensive came up in the later period, the offensive ratio of the two teams was at least 40-60. Monaco was in front, and their offensive scene was not much different from Juventus.
But from the first minute of the second half, Juventus firmly controlled the situation on the court, especially the combination of Pirlo and Ballack in the midfield. Luo, the combination of the three showed the top level in world football.
Makelele frowned in front of the home team's coach's bench, and Pullo sighed and said: "If Wang Chuhe and you were still on the court, just like in the 2008 Champions League final, the combination of the two of you would definitely be able to defeat them. Match!"
Makelele looked at his midfielder, feeling very bitter in his heart.
The young Mendy is good at defense, but his help in offense is very little; Flamini is best at running in a wide range, and his passing and field control abilities are not as good as Pirlo; and Ljungberg is also old and has no speed. The Swedes, who have the advantage, can only play in the frontcourt.
I have Mendy, Flamini and Ljungberg in the midfield, and Juventus have Pirlo, Ballack and Ronaldinho in the midfield. This is simply incomparable...
Under Juventus' strong midfield control, Monaco's defense was crumbling and they were not far away from conceding the ball again.
Monaco is not as skilled as Juventus. The only thing they can do is defend hard and defend with all their strength.
Soon, their ferocious defense had an effect.
Within ten minutes, due to two consecutive collisions, forward Robin van Persie and right back Lichtsteiner were both carried off the field. Although the injuries were not serious, the team doctor suggested that they should be replaced. It's better not to hold on.
Yun Sheng looked at Makelele not far away with a depressed look, and Makelele waved his hand apologetically.
Although two players were injured and came off the field, the Monaco players did not make any dangerous moves and were within the scope of reasonable collision.
Yun Sheng looked at the bench. Between Trezeguet and Yu Dabao, he chose the latter.
Monaco's defense was very fierce today. Let the younger Yu Dabao come on and rush, and maybe he can score again as soon as possible.
As for the right back position, because Motta was slightly injured in training a few days ago, Yunsheng put Zhang Chengdong on the substitute list today. Yun Sheng hesitated for a moment and finally replaced him.
Juventus is in a good situation now. Although Zhang Chengdong lacks experience and is not as good as Lichtsteiner and Motta, he still has certain advantages compared with the opponent's Li Xuepeng and Sun Ke. After all, he has played many Serie A games under his care. , growing rapidly.
Soon after the two players came on the stage, they brought precision to Yunsheng.
In the 72nd minute of the game, after Zhang Chengdong intercepted Sun Ke's dribble, he dribbled the ball forward suddenly, used his speed to get past Ljungberg, who barely let go of the tackle, and went all the way to the edge of the penalty area!
Facing Li Xuepeng's defense, Zhang Chengdong made a precise pass, and the ball went straight to Raul at the front point!
Raul jumps hard! However, he was pinned down by Monaco captain Uj Falusi, and neither of them touched the ball!
At this time, in the middle of the penalty area, Senderos, who had already taken his position, thought he was sure of victory, but a figure suddenly walked around him and jumped quickly! Header!
The ball went in! ! !
It's Yu Dabao, who just came on stage! He once again showed his "koi attributes" and helped the team expand the score lead at the critical moment!
3 to 1! Juventus is safe in this game!
Five minutes later, during a Juventus attack from the left, veteran Riise once again showed his peak strength in the Premier League. He dribbled the ball along the left and rushed to the opponent's penalty area, blasting the ball with a powerful kick. Hit the lintel!
Juventus almost took a three-goal lead!
Cannavaro on the sidelines clapped his hands excitedly, and Speed nodded repeatedly.
In this game, not only veterans such as Pirlo, Ballack, and Riise performed well, but the young Yu Dabao and Zhang Chengdong also performed very well.
Yu Dabao has gradually become a very reassuring rotation forward, and Zhang Chengdong has also grown rapidly, from a rookie at the beginning of the season to an outstanding substitute full-back who can attack and defend well on the right.
While observing his own players, Yunsheng is also paying attention to Monaco's players.
Not to mention the veterans he has coached, Yun Sheng is already very familiar with them, and several young Chinese players also performed well today.
After a season of training, Li Xuepeng has made rapid progress. He has firmly established himself as Monaco's main left-back. Although his skills are still a bit rough, his physical running and contribution on both offense and defense are deeply appreciated by Makelele.
Sun Ke has also become the team's main forward with his desperate spirit of fighting for every ball. He has scored 14 goals in all categories this season and has performed very well.
And Zhang Linpeng, the most popular player in European football right now, performed exceptionally well.
There are still about ten minutes left before the end of the game. Juventus wants to maintain the victory and continue to score goals, but Monaco is secretly building up its strength, eagerly looking forward to equalizing the score as soon as possible and creating a miracle...
