Chapter 932 Fighting Juventus Again
Chapter 932 Fighting Juventus Again
At eight o'clock in the evening, Italian time, Juventus' new home stadium, although Juventus is a giant in Serie A, the attendance rate of Serie A is definitely the lowest among the five major European leagues.
This has also caused watching Serie A games. When the camera scans, you will see a large blank space, which is unimaginable in the Premier League.
Even for Manchester City, there are simply not enough seats for 7000 people. Due to the limited terrain, it is extremely difficult for Manchester City to expand.
However, Juventus' new stadium has shrunk from the original capacity of 6 to [-], which shows the low attendance of Serie A.
Regarding Manchester City's lineup for this game, Van Basten did not raise any doubts before the game. A half-main lineup can be regarded as an explanation for both sides.
The goalkeeper has not changed, it is still Joe Hart, on the defense, Kolarov, Boateng, Lescott, Zabaleta, midfielder De Jong, Li Feng and Milner, on the front, Shaqiri, Dzeko, Sun Xingmin.
As for Juventus, this kind of life-and-death battle is naturally done with all their strength. There is no doubt about the goalkeeper Buffon. In this position, Italy can be described as prosperous and declining.
In the past, Italy had never been short of good goalkeepers, but now, I don't know if it is because of Buffon's too much against the sky, but Italy has a gap in the goalkeeper position.
In defense, Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli, Lichtsteiner, midfielder, Asamoah, Pirlo, Vidal, Marchisio, striker, Vucinic and Juventus nuclear weapon Quagliarella.
Balotelli was thrown on the bench. Since the last game with Manchester City in the Champions League, Balotelli has been lost. In the most recent period, Balotelli has scored a goal.
Even in the last game of Serie A, Balotelli sent himself to the stands because of a meaningless foul. Although the Champions League was not suspended, Alessio threw the poor Balotelli to the bench.
And on the Juventus bench, Pogba, who regards Li Feng as an idol, is still sitting. After moving to Juventus this season, Pogba has gained many opportunities, and he is gradually transforming his talent into strength.
However, in such a life-and-death battle, Alessio obviously believes in the experienced Pirlo more than Pogba. Pogba is also very clear about this, even though Pirlo is old, but he still can't compare with Pirlo.
In the whistle from the Turkish referee Kakir, the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group match in Group E officially began. Juventus, who are playing at home, chose to attack first to express their determination.
Pirlo held the ball in midfield, but he did not cross the center line in a hurry, but waited for the Juventus players to continue to penetrate Manchester City's backcourt before slowly holding the ball across the half.
Milner stepped forward to intercept, but Manchester City couldn't stop Pirlo, but when he passed Milner, Li Feng suddenly shot out from the side, trying to steal the ball with a sliding tackle.
However, who is Pirlo, there are only two football masters in today's football, and Pirlo seems to have known that Li Feng would come out from the side.
With a pull of his left foot, he turned 180 degrees, and then shifted his foot in a subtle way. The ball came to Asamoah's feet on the left, and the latter immediately started.
Using the speed to cross Zabaleta, successfully completed the bottom, and made a cross, Vucinic and Lescott competed for the top, and Lescott had a slight advantage.
However, Lescott's clearance was not far away, and it happened to fall at the feet of Lichtsteiner, who stepped in from the right side of the penalty area, and the latter immediately took a long shot.
It was still Lescott, Lichtsteiner's long-range shot hit Lescott's thigh, then bounced high, Li Feng, and finally the ball was cleared by Li Feng who retreated into the penalty area.
However, Juventus's offense did not end there. Although the ball did not fall at the opponent's feet this time, Milner did not pass it out immediately after taking control of the ball. Instead, he gave Vidal a chance to steal the ball.
The latter rushed just in front of Milner, then stretched out his feet when Milner controlled the ball, and the ball returned to Juventus' feet.
Pirlo, the ball came to the feet of the Juventus midfielder, but the ball was only at the feet of Pirlo for a second, and he made a diagonal pass.
The ball rolled to the right penalty area, or Lichtsteiner, Juventus's opening two shots all came from the right back, but his shots did not bring Juventus the desired result.
Joe Hart made a save, but he didn't touch the ball and actually blocked Lichtsteiner's Juventus Arena post.
Although this is the home court of Juventus, in these 45 minutes, this goalpost belongs to Manchester City.
"Ooh~~~ Juventus's goal was blocked by the goal post of the Juventus Arena. Juventus missed the opportunity to break the deadlock at the beginning."
Subsequently, Manchester City also ushered in the first goal of the game. Compared with Juventus's slowness, Manchester City's offense was much faster, and Joe Hart took the goal kick.
Li Fengzheng directly divided the sides, and Shaqiri quickly waded through Lichtsteiner on the sidewalk. From the focus to the background board, Lichtsteiner only took tens of seconds.
In recent months, Shaqiri has been making steady progress, especially the rhythm of breakthrough and dribbling. Following Silva, Shaqiri has made remarkable progress.
The bottom shot was not a cross, but a pass back, because Shaqiri saw that Li Feng was catching up at high speed. For Li Feng's explosive power and speed.
Shaqiri is very clear, because his own speed and explosive power are very good, but if his speed and explosive power are compared with Li Feng, it really confirms the saying that without comparison, there will be no harm.
To use the words of the old man of Manchester City, that is to say, those old players who have been teammates with Li Feng for a year, and Li Feng compares himself with himself, that is, he is not happy.
In the penalty area on the left, Li Feng, who received the pass, did not hit the goal because Vidal had already stuck it up. For this situation, Li Feng could only secretly say that it was a pity.
Although Shaqiri has been improving, there is still a big gap between him and Silva. This pass can fully explain the problem.
If it was Silva, he could kick the ball directly to hit the goal, and even break the deadlock on the field, but Shaqiri can't, Li Feng can only choose to control the ball.
With a cross, although he couldn't kick it anymore, Manchester City is not alone. Milner, the Manchester City midfielder will make up for it, and there is a violent long-range shot head-on.
Although Milner's long-range shot is of high quality, it is a pity that he faced Buffon. Although Buffon is 34 years old, he is still the best goalkeeper in football today.
