Chapter 439 Iron Man and Artist
"With the whistle of the referee, the game officially begins!"

"Manchester United kicked off in the midfield, Lewandowski and Griezmann passed the ball and handed the ball to Lampard behind him, and then the two quickly inserted into Juventus' defense."

"Lampard and Kroos pass in the midfield, Vidal presses up, and there is a fierce physical confrontation with Lampard!"

"In the past two seasons, Vidal has shown super ability. He can attack well and defend well, and he has strong physical confrontation ability. His wonderful performance has made many Juventus fans compare him with Juventus passing star 'Iron Man' Nedved. Compare."

"But today Vidal met another Iron Man - Lampard! Lampard also has the title of 'Iron Man' in the Premier League. He not only has a very strong offensive and defensive comprehensiveness, but also has a very strong Mental attributes. Although there is a ten-year age difference between the two, Vidal actually fell behind in the confrontation with Lampard!"

"Lampard drove the ball through the midfield, he did a wall-to-wall combination with De Bruyne on the right, and then he shot a powerful long-range shot from outside the box! The angle and power of the ball! Buffon saved the ball Get out!"

"If Buffon is not standing in front of Juventus, then the goal will undoubtedly be scored! Lampard is not like a 36-year-old player at all. His body is full of strength like when he was 20 years old. !"

In the opening stage, Lampard blew the horn of Manchester United's offense with a wonderful long shot. He used his outstanding performance to tell everyone that he is still the midfielder who deters European football!
In the following time, Manchester United players continued to attack aggressively. Mahrez and De Bruyne cooperated with Lampard. Whenever they had a chance, they cut inward along the wing.In this game, Juventus played three defenders. These three people are located very close together, so they are slightly weak in defense on the side. Mahrez and De Bruyne frequently create opportunities for crosses. Lewandowski And Griezmann also ambushed in the penalty area, waiting for a fatal blow.

But Juventus, as the Serie A champions, their defensive ability is indeed extraordinary.Chiellini, Bonucci and Obonna are all very strong defenders. They keep a close eye on Lewandowski and Griezmann. Although the ball can be passed into the penalty area, the two of them can't touch the ball at all. , let alone attacking the goal, and the reason why Juventus has limited defensive forces on the wing is entirely because they are very confident in their defense in the middle, and Asamoah and Koeman are also frequently returning in defense. Withdraw, help the defense.

After the opening 15 minutes, Manchester United failed to open up the situation with a lot of thunder and rain.

At this time, Kintag looked at the coach bench of the visiting team on the other side, and Allegri sat there firmly, very calm.Just before the opening, when Kintag shook hands with Allegri, he had this expression, and it has not changed.

Calmness is the temperament of Allegri, and it is also the background of this Serie A giant.No matter what opponent you encounter, you should defend firmly and then wait for an opportunity to attack.

At this time, Scholes next to Kintag asked: "Captain, I have always been a little confused. Since you decided to use offense instead of defense, you can definitely send Carrick in Kanter's position. His game experience It's richer. But you finally chose Kroos to start, what are the considerations for this?"

While looking at the situation on the court, Kintag explained: "Compared with Carrick, Kroos is not as good as Carrick in terms of game status and tacit understanding with his teammates. Physically better than Carrick, he can do more defensively and that's why I played Kroos."

In fact, there is another idea that Kintag did not tell Scholes.In the parallel world of later generations, the Italian midfielder Pirlo will switch to the MLS after the end of this season and bid farewell to the mainstream European arena.The group match against Juventus may be the only chance to play against Pirlo.Before the game, Kintag told Kroos alone that he must observe Pirlo's way of handling the ball more in this game and cherish this opportunity to play against Pirlo.

Pirlo is called a "football artist" by Italian football. Many experts say that Pirlo has redefined the player in the midfielder position.The previous defensive midfielders were all fighting for their bodies and defense.But Pirlo used his performance to tell everyone that a forward midfielder with not outstanding physical fitness and weak defense can also play as a midfielder.His "front midfielder and back" method can not only organize in the backcourt, but also directly attack through long passes in the backcourt, which has the functions of the core of the organization and the core of the offense.His long pass, long shot and free kick skills, in today's international football, perhaps only Harvey can be compared with him.

But in Kintag's heart, he always thought that Pirlo was better.Pirlo was in Milan, Juventus and the Italian national team. The players around him changed from group to group. The players he cooperated with were super first-class, some first-class, some second-rate, and some even not.But Pirlo can adapt to anyone, he does not need any system players, no matter where he goes, he is a master-level performance.

Among the two young midfielders that Manchester United focuses on training, De Bruyne's technical characteristics are very similar to Lampard's, and his offensive core role is obvious; but Kroos is more of an organizational midfielder, relying on his excellent passing skills. Ball and free kick kung fu, gain a foothold in the team.

And Kintag's expectation for Kroos is also that he can become a Pirlo-style master.

From the opening stage of this game, Cross has been observing Pirlo's performance.Every pass of Pirlo is extremely precise, and his scheduling in the midfield allows Juventus to be sorted out in an orderly manner, both offensively and defensively.

But Cross is still puzzled: If you just look at the current performance, then Pirlo is not enough to be called a midfielder.

But when the game progressed to the 25th minute, Pirlo let everyone see what a real midfielder is.

Although Manchester United's continuous offense was fierce, it was still unable to start the situation, while the Juventus players were always looking for opportunities to counterattack.After a tackle from the wing, Asamoah passed the ball to Pirlo, meanwhile, striker Carlos Tevez had activated.

At this time, Pirlo's precise long pass showed the level of a midfield master. His pass spanned half the field and found Tevez who was advancing forward. Tevez stopped the ball comfortably and was about to Break into the box and get ready to shoot!
