Chapter 141: Udinese's second half

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Udinese, who was two goals behind, did not calm down after the intermission.They actively want to equalize the score or overtake the score. It can be seen that they know that if they want to win or take a point, they must break through Juventus' defense.

The central midfielder Ping Qi, who had just replaced Chin Badu, cooperated with Alan to actively advance and respond, creating opportunities for Muriel and Ranej.

After 5 minutes, Udinese found a chance, Alan and Qi Qi pinched off Li Zihan's ball.Then Alan cooperated with Pingqi to do a kick to the wall to pass Marchisio, and Alan sent a through ball before Vidal's tackle.

The ball rolled between Vidal and Asamoah, Vidal raised his foot subconsciously, but still did not touch the ball, Asamoah quickly ran back to the ball's landing point.

However, it was obvious that someone was faster than him. With a tacit stride, Faraoni received a through ball from Alan. It was obvious that this was not the first time they cooperated like this.

After catching up with the ball, Faraoni took the ball away and then accelerated to catch up with the ball.He didn't give the African boy Asamoah who was chasing behind him a chance. Although Asamoah could run faster than Faraoni, Faraoni was already about seven or eight yards ahead, and the black boy could only look back and sigh.

Without Asamoah's entanglement, Faraoni dribbled the ball more comfortably. He even dribbled the ball on the side and looked up to observe the situation in the center.

Muriel was the first to be unbearable, and he quickly moved forward to get rid of Pirlo's entanglement.In fact, although Pirlo's position is the midfielder, his defensive ability is quite average.Pogba, who is also a defensive midfielder, is much better than Pirlo in defense, and even the midfielder Vidal is much better than Pirlo in marking and stealing.Pirlo is a typical backcourt playmaker. When he is better at organizing in the backcourt, he connects the backcourt and midfield of the entire team.

If Pirlo goes forward, then he can put the backcourt, midfield, and frontcourt into a line.The fact is that Pirlo was a midfielder at the beginning, but when he was in AC Milan, he faced competition for the positions of top attacking midfielders Rui Costa, Rivaldo, Seedorf and others at the time. Under Lottie's arrangement, Pirlo gradually became familiar with playing the midfielder, and later combined with Gattuso to become the world's number one midfielder partner. Since then, he has embarked on the road of a generation of technical organization midfielder masters.

Juventus has many mortal enemies in Serie A, and their players will inevitably be insulted by mortal fans when they are away.But there are only two exceptions, one is the national goalkeeper Buffon, and the other is Pirlo.This stems from the Italians' dedication to the two veterans to the national team. Pirlo at his peak was called the "king" by Italian fans.

So although Pirlo's defensive ability as a defensive midfielder has also improved in a clear eye, he is still a lot worse when it comes to real defensive midfielders. After all, he is not young anymore.Pirlo, who was not very good in physical confrontation, his current body does not allow him to make fierce fights.Therefore, a lot of defense in the midfield comes from the support of Vidal or Pogba. The two of them are like two "shit sticks", which make it difficult for the opponent to attack comfortably when defending.And when the two of them went forward to attack, the opponent had a headache for their offensive ability, especially the heavy bombardment outside the penalty area.

So for Muriel, he didn't bother to get rid of Pirlo's defense, and ran forward.Of course, his action caught the attention of central defender Barzagli. Barzali took the initiative to step forward to defend Muriel closely, preventing the opponent from easily receiving the ball and attacking.

Barzagli definitely thinks of an excellent and experienced central defender in Italy. Compared with Pirlo's defense, it is more the difference between an apprentice and a master.So Muriel tried to get away from Barzagli several times and raised his hand to ask for the ball, but failed.On the contrary, Barzali, who was watching him closely, made him feel like he couldn't move an inch.

Faraoni didn't let the two sides in the middle wait too long, because Asamoah and Vidal had already chased them.Without thinking too much, he quickly dribbled the ball to the bottom and then quickly sent a high ball pass.

The ball flew straight into the Juventus penalty area, Muriel was already in position, and he put Barzagli behind him.Then, looking at the ball flying in the air, he took off decisively, trying to fight for the header.Barzagli also jumped up and harassed the opponent.

Just when the ball was about to fall on Muriel's head and form a header, everyone's hearts suddenly became tense.

Buffon had already seen that Barzagli failed to gain the upper hand in this header competition, so he paid attention to Muriel's movements, and leaned against the goal post to block the opponent's shooting angle.

"Faraoni made a pass from the bottom and accurately found the striker Muriel who grabbed a better point in the penalty area. Muriel!!!"

However, just as Muriel's head was about to hit the ball, he turned his head away with a clever idea and avoided it by himself.

This sudden blow caught everyone by surprise, Barzagli did not expect it, Buffon did not expect it, and Bonucci even more did not expect it.

"Muriel dodged, he missed the football!! Look at the ball, is there any attack in this attack?"

The ball began to drop without Muriel's obstruction.Laneje rushed into the penalty area suddenly, without giving Bonucci, who was defending him, time to think.Then facing the falling ball, he volleyed.

boom!There was a sound, and it was the sound of Ranej's foot hitting the ball.The ball went straight to the goal, Buffon had no time to react, and the camera even captured the astonished expression on Buffon's face when the ball flew from another direction.

The hearts of the fans of Udinese and Juventus were picked up. Obviously they all knew what would happen if the goal was scored.There are four and 10 minutes left in the game, and Udinese, who is only one goal behind, will surely launch a more aggressive offensive.And Juventus went from an absolute lead of two goals to being overwhelmed by the team with the lowest salary and budget in Italy, which was a fatal blow to morale.

"Lanej!!!!!!"

boom!There was another sound, it was the sound of the ball hitting the crossbar.

"Oh!" More than 3 and nearly [-] fans at the scene exclaimed together.

With a jerk, Buffon swooped sideways, caught the ball that hit the lower part of the crossbar and bounced into the penalty area, and then pressed it firmly under him.

"Hey, Ranerjee's shot hit the crossbar, and then the ball was easily saved by Buffon. Udinese wasted one of the best goals of the game so far. If it was Di Natale, it would probably go in. gone."

But now the Udinese fans who followed the team to the away game miss the veteran Di Natale who was left in Udinese's hometown because of lack of physical strength.

However, the Italians obviously have not heard a saying that is familiar to Chinese fans, "Waste opportunities will be punished."

When Buffon got up to hold the ball, he observed the situation in the front court. When he saw that Li Zihan was not surrounded by a defensive player near the center line, he was stunned. Among them, there is only central defender Danilo at the top of the arc not far from the center line.

The other Udinese players are still retreating from the frontcourt at a slow speed, and it seems that they have not recovered from the defeat of the attack just now.

Buffon immediately thought that this was an excellent opportunity to fight back.

Buffon quickly slipped the ball in his hand, then lifted his right foot to face the falling ball and swung it vigorously.

The ball flew towards the midfielder in the air, and Danilo was the first to react.Because he saw the ball fly past the "crowd" below and flew directly to the open area on the center line, and then saw Li Zihan in front of him.

He understood instantly that this was a typical quick counterattack.So he raised his hand and shouted to attract the attention of his teammates. Domizzi and Alan also saw the ball flying over their heads, and then saw the gesture of teammate Danilo in front.I also understand, and immediately speed up to catch up.At this time, Alan didn't have time to blame Domizzi and the two full-backs for advancing so deeply that they gave the enemy a chance to sneak attack.

Li Zihan saw the flying ball and understood what Buffon meant. In fact, he had already noticed that the opponent had only one central defender in the backcourt.

Danilo hesitated between going forward to interfere, hindering Li Zihan from receiving the ball or even stealing the ball, and retreating in front of the penalty area to cooperate with the goalkeeper.After watching the ball fall and Li Zihan started running to chase the falling ball, he chose the former.

While Li Zihan raised his head to chase the falling ball, he did not forget to observe the movement of the only defensive player in front of him.He had an idea when he saw the opponent coming forward to fight with him for the high-altitude ball.

"Buffon took a quick goal kick and caught Udinese by surprise. Their defenders were too active and deep, and now there is only one central defender Danilo behind. And the ball went straight to the front. The young player Li Zihan who has never retreated, although Alan and Domizzi quickly retreated to chase Li Zihan, but looking at the distance and Li Zihan's speed, they are basically hopeless."

"This is an excellent counterattack opportunity for Juventus!!"

Seeing that the height was about the same, Li Zihan kicked hard with his right foot and took off.Then he hit his head hard against the ball in the air.The forehead hit the ball, and the ball accelerated and flew forward without continuing to fall.

Danilo, who was running fast, passed the ball in the air, and then Li Zihan quickly bypassed Danilo after landing and chased after him.

In terms of explosiveness and speed, Danilo can be completely defeated by Li Zihan.So Li Zihan easily bypassed Danilo and received the ball behind him, without giving the opponent a chance to get close or foul.
