Chapter 252 Breaking Down
Juventus retreated!

From the very beginning of this game, Juventus wanted to attack, press up and attack!

Because they never expected that Luton would press up and made two goals in such an extreme way.

And now the morale of Luton, who scored two goals, is about to explode. Now the Juventus players also know that if they continue to press up, the consequence is likely to lose more goals!
Now they can only retreat to defend first, and then expect Luton to run out of energy in the second half.

If Luton really continues to play like this, even if Gao Bo has a physical card, the players may not be able to support him.

Of course Gao Bo also knew this, so when Juventus retreated, Gao Bo walked to the sidelines.

"Slow down the rhythm first! Let everyone rest for a while!!"

Gao Bo called Kevin Keane over.

"Give the ball more to Anthony, now that Juventus has retreated, let him get more balls to break through at the front of the penalty area!!"

Kevin Keane nodded and immediately returned to the court.

This scene was not missed by the camera either.

"After Ferrara made adjustments, Coach Gao Bo also made adjustments immediately!"

"Very timely!! This may be the reason why he was able to lead the team all the way forward. In terms of on-the-spot command, Gao Bo's reaction is very fast!!"

Letkinson also noticed this scene.

Gao Bo did not intend to maintain such a high-pressure rhythm for the entire game-he is not crazy to this point, and his players are not robots.

In fact, Gao Bo is already satisfied with the current result.

But since Juventus took the initiative to retreat to defend, Gao Bo naturally pushed the boat along, and at the same time he was thinking of giving Juventus a fatal blow!
He immediately switched the cards. Now that Juventus went back to set up the bus, it is impossible for Luton to continue to press in a high position-Juventus has already taken the initiative to give up possession.

Adam's physical card was replaced, and then Gao Bo equipped Griezmann with a long-range card.

[Match Card (Green): The success rate of long-range shots has increased by 15%, and the designated player Griezmann will use it! 】

Juventus shrinks the defense, then Luton will have room to shoot from the outside!Griezmann's long-range shooting ability is good, and with the improvement of the card, his long-range shooting can be regarded as world-class.

Moreover, his dribbling success rate is also very high. Allowing Griezmann to shoot more shots in the front of the penalty area will also present a dilemma for Juventus' defense-because Griezmann can pass and shoot suddenly, such a player is very powerful when attacking the opponent's Tietong formation!
Now the situation on the field has calmed down instead, and Luton also took the opportunity to rest for a while.

However, there are many dangers in front of Juventus.

In the 208th minute of the game, Griezmann received the pass at the front of the penalty area, turned around and volleyed directly!

The football was blocked by Buffon into the penalty area, and then Vardy rushed up to make a supplementary shot, but under the interference of Cannavaro, although Vardy finally kicked the ball, he still missed the baseline.

The ball took Juventus supporters by surprise.

"Even with the dense defense in the penalty area, Luton still created a threat! Juventus players must cheer up!" said the Italian commentator.

"Being behind zero to two is not the end of the world. As long as they can equalize this score, Juventus will advance to the quarter-finals! With more than 60 minutes left in the game, the task of scoring two goals is not absolutely impossible for Juventus!"

The Juventus players thought so too, but their recovery defense also curbed Luton's offensive momentum.

In fact, letting Luton ball organize positional warfare is not something Luton is good at.

But on the scene at this time, it seemed that Juventus was suppressed by Luton.

"It's really unimaginable that the Italian giants Juventus have encountered such great difficulties in this away game. Now that they have settled for two goals, and are afraid of Luton's offensive, Juventus is actually suppressed by Luton! You absolutely can't believe it. Is Luton really a team from the third tier league?"

In China, the narrator of XTV is also lamenting.

"It's amazing!!!"

"It feels unreal for a third-tier team to overwhelm Juventus."

"Is England's team as strong as this?"

Fans are also talking about it.

Juventus took the initiative to withdraw to defend. During the period, they saw that Luton did not intend to attack aggressively, thinking that their chance had come, so they began to move around again.

However, when they were just about to press up and attack, Luton immediately resumed the previous frantic pressing posture and pressed Juventus back again.

Now Juventus is facing a dilemma.

If you shrink back, there is no pressure to attack, Luton can slow down the rhythm and save energy.

And if Juventus presses up, their defense may be broken by a counterattack at any time.

Such a dilemma of multiple-choice questions made Ferrara's head explode.

Until about 10 minutes into the first half, Ferrara didn't think about what to do.

Fortunately, the first half did not continue to concede the ball.

However, when Ferrara raised this idea, the whistle sounded on the court.

Griezmann was tripped by Marchisio after taking the ball past Melo in the middle.

The referee blew his whistle and gave Luton a free kick at the front of the penalty area.

Ferrara already felt a bad sign when he saw Griezmann put the ball in place.

Griezmann carefully positioned the ball, centering the nozzle on where he was going to hit the ball later.

He stepped back all the way, and then stood five meters away from the football, waiting for the referee's whistle.

The location of this free kick is about one meter away from the top of the arc of the penalty area. This distance is very suitable for a direct shot, and the football is facing the goal. Judging from Griezmann's posture, he is also going to shoot directly!
Gao Bo came to the sidelines, and the free kick shot was considered a long shot. Griezmann's original shooting skills were good, and with the addition of cards, the success rate of this shot is still very high.

That's why he asked Griezmann to make more breakthroughs. In addition to disrupting Juventus' defense, the more important thing is to create opportunities for set kicks!
The referee's whistle sounded.

Griezmann starts running!
A bang, a brief touch of the toe with the football, a powerful volley!

Football soars!

Is it high?
Ferrara was overjoyed, but his face immediately changed!
When the football reaches its highest point, it begins to fall rapidly.
When Buffon saw the ball clearly, the football had already flown to the end and broke!
From his point of view, the football is even erratic in the air!
"Elevator ball!!!!!!"

Gao Bo was surprised!
Griezmann kicked an elevator ball!

The term elevator ball was first proposed by Gazzetta dello Sport in the 2012 European Cup.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" called Pirlo's free kick an "elevator free kick", "rapidly rose to the sixth floor, but quickly dropped to the first floor".

At that time, people did not have a special vocabulary to describe this way of playing football, but in fact, there are many players who can play this kind of football.

Pirlo, Ronaldo, Junior and so on.

Kicking such a ball requires a lot of shooting power, and at the same time, the time for the foot to touch the ball is very short. Even so, it takes a little luck to get the ball on the elevator.

Griezmann's luck is good, the football is like getting on an elevator, falling rapidly, and at the same time drifting left and right, making it difficult for Buffon to judge the distance!
In the end, Buffon still made a save, but the moment his fingertips were about to touch the ball, the football shifted to the other side!

A direct free kick broke the goal of Juventus again!

Three to zero! !

Luton smashed Juventus in the first half! !
