Chapter 223: Battle for the League's Top Scorer

In the second half, Conte did not make personnel adjustments. He just told his disciples to pay attention to efficiency when attacking, and to play a flexible chain defense with a three-five-two formation when defending.

And Li Zihan also took advantage of the intermission to tell his teammates not to pass the ball to himself when there is no chance, because it is useless to pass.

It's just that this sentence attracted Giacherini's eyes. Damn, I want my teammates to pass the ball to me and let me be the core of the offense.

The second half of the game started quickly, and the Juventus players learned the lessons of the first half. Although they wanted to help Li Zihan score more goals, they didn't want to be so easily seized by the opponent to counterattack.

So Juventus played more patiently in the second half, but the four midfielders Vidal, Marchisio, Pirlo and Pogba were not there, which made Juventus' midfield organization strong. Clumsy.

Although Marrone and Paduin are full of aura on the court and work hard in defense and offense, they lack one or two points when it comes to organizational skills.

Therefore, Juventus' offensive cooperation appears to have no threat, especially when the opponent has locked Li Zihan to death.

Conte on the sidelines obviously discovered this a long time ago, but he originally wanted the team to adjust themselves, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so tenacious.

Then I had to sigh in my heart, Li's joke is really not a joke, toothache, hard to beat! (Atlanta).

With the last wave of his hand, Pogba went to warm up. Because of Pirlo's injury, it is not known whether he will be able to play in the next league game, but considering his age cannot withstand high-intensity tossing, so even if he can play, Kong Dee wouldn't necessarily let him go either.So Pogba originally planned to replace Pirlo in the next game, but he didn't expect to have to let him play in this game.

Pogba replaced Padoin, and Juventus began to strengthen the organization of the midfield.

Pogba played for a few minutes, and his effect was reflected.

In defense, Pogba is better than Paduin, because Paduin's characteristics are more inclined to attack.So once the opponent wants to launch an offensive, in front of the midfield defense led by Marrone and Pogba, they often can't even pass the midfield.

Although Li Zihan was locked by the opponent, Juventus' overall offensive power was reflected in the absence of worries in the midfield.

Massimo Pepe and Giaccellini used the two touchlines to attack the opposing defense, while they were also helped by the duo of Isla and De Qielli on the same side.

In this way, the opponent's defense line is frequently in a hurry.

Massimo Pepe's body is very strong. In a sideline breakthrough, he almost used his body to squeeze the opponent's full-back away.Then go to the bottom, when the opponent's central defender pulls out the distance to fill in and block his attacking route.Massimo Pepe made a move just like eating the opponent's full-back raw, made the same fake move that he planned to charge hard, and then suddenly rolled the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Because the two opponents often look at Li Zihan, once Li Zihan starts to move, the two people's attention is all on Li Zihan, and Li Zihan moves before Massimo Pepe passes the ball. , so that Massimo Pepe sees the space and passes the ball there.

In the end, Pogba, who was plugged in at the end, shot directly from a long distance when no one was watching. The opponent's goalkeeper was obviously slow to react and failed to make a save.But Pogba didn't have a good chance to adjust when he kicked the ball. In the end, the ball hit the top of the crossbar, and the ball flew high and flew out of the baseline.

Pogba put his hands on his hips and spit. He was obviously dissatisfied with the ball and quite unconvinced.Because when he kicked the ball, he thought the ball was there. He originally thought that this angle would hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounce into the goal quickly.

Although the ball was not scored, it still scared the Atlanta players and home fans into a cold sweat.In the end, their organizers had to make a decision to slightly weaken their defense against Li Zihan and strengthen other areas.

In this way, Li Zihan felt much more relaxed without one person guarding him.Of course, at this time, he didn't immediately jump around like Sun Monkey escaped from Wuzhishan, he was waiting for the opportunity.

After 5 minutes, Pogba held the ball and saw the opportunity to send it behind the opponent.

Li Zihan quickly started, then plugged in.Li Zihan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly erupted, obviously feeling a little uncomfortable with rubbing his hands.

He passed through the opponent's midfield with ease, and then received the ball behind the opponent's midfield.

In the end, he accelerated and ran directly to the opponent's backcourt.

After playing halftime without doing anything, Li Zihan was obviously holding a breath in his heart.He rushed directly towards the opponent's backcourt with a murderous look. The opponent's fullback knew that something was wrong and wanted to come diagonally to intercept.But Li Zihan didn't slow down. Instead, when the opponent rushed over, he flicked the ball lightly, and the ball flew from the opponent's left to the opponent's rear right.Li Zihan accelerated past the opponent's defense without the ball, and then received the ball again behind the opponent.

The opponent's central defender saw that the fullback was about to be passed by Li Zihan with ease, so he immediately came to make up for it.Li Zihan didn't write any ink, and when the opponent was still some distance away, Li Zihan decisively knocked the ball to Massimo Pepe, who was already unguarded and followed up from the side.

Massimo Pepe received the ball without any delay, and directly knocked the ball back and sent it behind the opponent's central defender.Li Zihan did not stop after passing the ball, but continued to charge forward.Because he knows that although he and Massimo Pepe do not cooperate very well, as a player who has played in the top league for many years, his experience will definitely allow him to make the most correct choice.

Sure enough, when he just passed the opponent's central defender, he saw the ball roll from behind him diagonally to directly in front of him, and he only needed to run two steps to receive the ball.Then there is no need to worry about offside, because the other central defender of the opponent is far behind the back point of the hanging, so there is no offside.

Li Zihan, who regained the ball, continued to attack the opponent's backcourt, and finally attracted the lagging central defender to block the way.

He rushed up and wanted to shout: "Hey, I planted this grass, I opened this restaurant, I want to live on from now on, keep the ball!"

But Li Zihan didn't give him a chance to be a hero in the way. Li Zihan made a fake move to speed up and break through his defense. The opponent stretched out his foot to keep the ball or someone.Anyway, one of the man and the ball must be left, and this distance is not in the penalty area, and there is no risk of penalty kicks.

But Li Zihan did shake his foot, and a ground ball was sent to his front right, which is the area just past the arc in the middle of the penalty area.

Giaccellini quickly arrived at this position. The strength of Li Zihan and Massimo Pepe had attracted most people's attention before, but this "inspirational brother" who had been wandering around waiting for an opportunity was not noticed. .

At this time, he rushed to the penalty area to get the ball, and Atlanta realized that they had ignored this man.

Giacherini, who followed, looked at the goal and the goalkeeper in front of the goal, and then pushed the inside of his left foot to shoot.

The opponent's goalkeeper quickly made a side throw to make a save, but it was still a step too late, and he failed to catch the ball.The ball rubbed his fingertips and continued to roll behind him. The goalkeeper was shocked and tried to look back, but saw the ball rubbed against the post and rolled out of the baseline.

He breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his back was drenched with sweat.

Giaccellini clutched his head in frustration, clearly dissatisfied with himself for the missed opportunity.Later, he raised his head and gave Li Zihan a thumbs up, indicating that the opponent passed the ball well.

Li Zihan raised his hand to comfort Jaccherini. In fact, it is okay for him to force a chance to shoot the ball, and his teammates are very supportive of his own shooting in this situation, but he thought about it and gave it to Jaccherini next to him. Ni is better, after all, that position is more secure.

I didn't expect that Giacherini's angle was too tricky. In fact, Giacherini didn't have to be so anxious to hit the goal, because the position where he caught the ball was in a vacuum, and he had a chance to adjust and shoot. of.

In the end, although Juventus had fierce offensive firepower in the following games, they still failed to score effectively.On the contrary, Li Zihan scored a goal in a cooperation with Pogba, but was blown out by the referee before he had time to celebrate.

Li Zihan didn't go to the referee to argue, because he felt a little offside when Pogba passed the ball, but just saw the ball coming and didn't have time to think about it, so he had to bite the bullet.It was indeed offside. Li Zihan just stood at the spot where the goal was shot and looked at the line referee. The line referee put down the small flag in his hand and nodded to him.

Li Zihan could only cry and laugh.

Li Zihan also failed to score at the end of the game, and the Juventus team also failed to equalize the score.Most of Juventus' lineup came off the bench, and they lost to Atlanta [-]-[-] away.

What made him unhappy was that assistant coach Carrera told him the results of the other two games when he was off the court.

Naples beat Bologna [-]-[-], of which Cavani scored a goal, and his position in the scorer list is already two goals ahead of Li Zihan.

And Wuji Hakuhomaru Udinese also defeated Palermo, who needed to be relegated, 25-[-] in the away game, and the old captain Di Natale scored a goal.Now he ranks third in the scorer list with [-], only one goal behind Li Zihan who is second.

Both of Li Zihan's competitors scored goals, which is not good news for Li Zihan.Originally, Li Zihan didn't pay much attention to the league Golden Boot award. In his opinion, he had such a good performance in his first season, which is already quite good, so the top scorer in the league is dispensable.But after this game, the unyielding energy in his heart was rekindled.

Don't look at Li Zihan's usual look of not paying attention to anything and being a little sullen, but when it comes to football, once his competitive spirit is aroused, he can't suppress it.
