Chapter 216 : Defending in advance? (two)
Palermo set up an iron barrel formation in the away game, abandoning the three central defenders currently used by more Serie A teams, and chose the traditional four-back formation.In the midfield, Barreto and Anselmo, two double midfielders who are good at defending and intercepting, are placed in the midfield. The main central midfielder Arebalo sits in the center, and the left and right sides are full-back Donna. Ti and Spedutti.

It is worth mentioning that Arebalo, Donatti and Spedutti are also players who are more defensive than offensive. The combined number of goals and assists of the three of them does not exceed a double-double. The overall strength of Palermo.

In front of him, the young 20-year-old Argentine striker, Dybala, is a speed player, a typical dexterous breakthrough striker.It has a keen sense of smell in front of the door, and it feels like a "fox in the restricted area".Fast, short-distance attack and outflanking ability to grab points, and also scored some long-range shots from outside the penalty area and low-level headers in front of the goal.The dribbling is not fancy, the combination of man and ball is good, and he has a strong continuous dribbling ability.During the Ah Yi period, sometimes he also liked to cruise the sideways or cross or create space for his teammates.

Judging from the above characteristics, it is somewhat similar to Li Zihan's, but Li Zihan's speed is much faster than him, and he is better at using sideline breakthroughs to tear apart the opponent's defense and create opportunities for his teammates.In addition, Li Zihan can almost become a "fox in the penalty area" now, but the young Dybala. He was not bad in the Argentine second division, with an average of one goal every two games, every [-] games There is only one assist, including two hat-tricks.

Now. Since Palermo took him to the Apennine Peninsula at a sky-high price of 200 million euros before Inter Milan, he played 25 games this season, failed to score a goal, and only scored two assists.

Obviously, the current performance does not match his worth at all. For other teams, 200 million euros may be a low-level or even cheap expenditure, but for a small team like Palermo, it is an astronomical figure. , You must know that the combined transfer fee expenditure in the past two seasons has not exceeded this amount. It is conceivable that Dybala is currently under pressure.

The Argentine "new Aguero" completely stalled in the Apennines, but the only consolation for Palermo is that Dybala is only 19 and a half years old this year, and he still has time to grow and become familiar with the characteristics of Italian football.

Analyzing Palermo's formation, everyone knows that Palermo came to Turin with a defensive counterattack. Maybe they never thought about taking three away from Juventus, who wanted to defend the league champion early. point.As far as they are concerned, they are satisfied with getting one point at present. If they can find a way to steal three points while the "Lion" is taking a nap, but now..."The Lion" is watching the "big" in the bowl. meal".

So in the eyes of professionals, this is an iron barrel formation, not so much a four-two-three formation, but a disgusting six-three-one formation
Juventus, on the other hand, put on the three-five-two formation that Conte often uses. After returning from injury, Vidal has recovered his state after training and coming off the bench for a few games, so he appeared in the starting lineup today. In terms of position, Pogba sat on the bench.

Pogba has no complaints about this. After all, his playing time has reached the range of an absolute main force at the beginning of this season, whether it is a starter or a substitute.There are three people in the midfield, three positions.No matter who among them rested and came off the bench first, it was him.

Li Zihan continued to secure his starting position, and his partner was Montenegro center Vucinic in his prime.From this point, it can be seen that Conte attaches great importance to this game, and he does not seem to leave the suspense of the championship until the next round.

Before this game, the famous Mr. "Li Hei" Sanchez published an article in his column that Juventus will win the championship. This is not to say that he changed his beliefs and fell in love with Juventus, but that this champion It's almost in the pocket of the "old lady". If he says that the champion has wings and wants to fly at this time, doesn't it mean that he is not professional.Even ordinary fans know that it is imperative for Juventus to win the championship, but you, a professional football commentator and football news media person, are talking nonsense. Isn't this a signboard.

Of course, the article inevitably continued to blackmail Li Zihan, saying that the reason why Li Zihan is so good is because Juventus' famous "weak front syndrome" gave him more opportunities to perform and become familiar.
Of course, this kind of question is for the beholder to see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom.

In fact, Li Zihan himself didn't pay much attention to what was written about him in the newspapers, no matter whether they said good things about him or bad things about him.He pays more attention to the dynamics of other leagues and the news of some major competitors in the same league. Although these unscrupulous reporters often write nonsense based on their own speculation, it still has a certain reference value.

So when Sanchez thought he was "disgusting" to Li Zihan, Li Zihan didn't even look him in the eye.
And this game is also, Sanchez's pre-match remarks did not affect him, he himself paid more attention to the game itself.

After the start of the game, he tried to use his superior ability to attack the opponent's defense line. Although he knew that the opponent in this game was Palermo who needed relegation, he still underestimated the opponent's determination to defend.

His dribbling was met with tenacious sniping by the opponent not far from the center line. Barreto and the full-back Morganela behind him decisively pinched to form a siege.Li Zihan's speed is difficult for other Juventus teammates to keep up with, and the only one who is close to his speed is Giovinco who is still sitting on the bench at the moment.So he looked around and found no teammates who could cooperate and support him, but he planned to come by himself.

Just when he was considering using fake moves to influence the opponent's judgment or rushing to break through the two opponents with speed, Barreto was still a little away from him, and directly shoveled the ball out of the baseline for no reason.

Li Zihan staggered, he was almost brought down by the opponent.

Looking at the opponent like this, it seems that they don't care about whether they will get a card at all, but whether the opponent's ball will threaten their own goal.
In fact, Barreto knows his own affairs. Generally, as long as the malicious foul is not excessive at the beginning of the game, the referee will not give the card quickly.Unless it is the famous villain Vinnie Jones who grabs Gascoigne's bottom. The record of getting a yellow card in the first three seconds is still unbroken.

After nearly a season of baptism, Li Zihan has obviously matured. He knows that he will be "taken care of" by the opponent in this game. He is currently ranked second in the league's scorer list. Few people will not deliberately attack such a player some arrangements.

So he simply "disappeared" on the court, instead of hanging in the front court all the time, he retreated back.When Vucinic saw this scene, he knew that he should replace Li Zihan. In this game, Palermo had arranged too many defensive forces in the midfield.While making Juventus' offense impossible, their offense did not perform well.

Even their offense failed to reach the front of the penalty area. There was no offensive player in the midfield to cooperate with striker Dybala, and Dybala was alone.Bonucci easily cleared or stole the ball when he finally got a chance. Even the other two central defenders Barzagli and Chiellini had no chance to help.
Palermo coach Sannino sacrificed offense to stabilize his defense, and his thinking was simple.Use a sticky defense to take as many points as possible in the away game, and then put the offense in the next few games against weak teams.After all, if you play against a strong team like Juventus that wants to win the championship, if you don't do well in defense, you must die ugly.

So the fans in the stands were very upset, because it was already 15 minutes into the game, and there was not a single goal, not to mention that the ball did not pass the midfield a few times.Players from both sides have been entangled in the midfield, Juventus's midfield is already strong.But Palermo is even more amazing. They have invested heavily in the midfield, a total of five people.

The task of these five people is to keep entangled with each other in the midfield, and send the ball to Dybala in the frontcourt when there is a chance. Then, if Dybala is intercepted, they will be worried, and immediately use fierce steals to return. Get the ball back.

And once the opponent tries to attack their own midfielder, Palermo will have many people to help defend and bring the opponent down.Li Zihan had suffered a few times before. Every time he wanted to break through with the ball, Areballo and Barreto would jointly defend him, and there was Morganella behind them.

Even though Palermo is a downstream team, Italian football's chain defense is no worse than other strong teams.This is why the top scorer in Serie A for more than half a century failed to score more than [-] goals in a season. a few balls.

So Li Zihan learned how to behave, and stopped joining in the fun.I stayed behind obediently, hiding behind Vidal and Vucinic waiting for an opportunity.

Asamoah and Lischsteiner at the full-back positions also decisively moved their positions forward to support their midfield strength. In fact, although these two are offensive full-backs, they are actually A panacea.They can play any position on their own side, as well as midfielder and midfielder. In the past, these two people often appeared in the position of winger.It wasn't until Li Zihan's sudden rise made Juventus' offensive power significantly improved that the two were placed in the full-back position by Conte.It is said to be a full-back, but in fact it is more of a full-back role
The situation that has been unable to start the situation ushered in the boos of Juventus fans at home. Of course, their boos were aimed at the visiting team Palermo.In the eyes of the fans, this game should be a celebration of defending the league title in advance, and Palermo, who is sticking to it, is like a hooligan who came to make trouble.

In a fierce confrontation in the midfield, Juventus's midfield commander Pirlo was brought down by a fierce tackle from the wide midfielder Spedutti who came diagonally from the side.

Juventus fans were furious.

“Palermo is relegated!!”

“Palermo is relegated!!”

“Palermo is relegated!!”

The [-] fans in the stadium shouted Palermo's name in unison, clapped their hands three times, and finally roared to be relegated.It seems that the patience of the home fans has reached its limit. They didn't even shout for the cards, but directly shouted for relegation
