Chapter 721 Celtics ([-])

Putting the middle finger up is the best way to insult, because many players habitually wear earphones to listen to music, relax and relax, and can't hear what is said outside at all, and what can they hear through the glass? !The middle finger represents a profound meaning, and it is really the best insult to deal with players who are selectively deaf.

Zhang Yuan usually rides with Matri in the past, but now he is with Pogba. Pogba likes to listen to singing, and Zhang Yuan also listens to music. In fact, he is not so cold about his girlfriend’s songs. The main reason is It was he who wanted to listen to Chinese, he listened to Jay Chou's songs.

With the sound of music, the stadium finally arrived, and the Juventus players arrived at the stadium with their own bags on their backs.

There is no need to talk about tactics in the locker room. Conte's tactics are also very simple. He wants to use his advantages in passing and possession to counter the overall physical advantages of the Celtics and try to avoid falling into the opponent's rhythm.

Traditional English football relies on body and impact. A big man like Drogba is very good in the Premier League. Of course, he may also be good in other leagues, relying on abnormal body and impact.

The reason why Warcraft is magical is not only because of his sturdy body and impact, but also for those who have watched his games know that his body's flexibility is also quite good.

The Celtics strikers are not at that level. Their strikers are the shortest on average in the entire team. The tall Celtics are all concentrated in the midfield, but their impact is still relatively strong, like theirs. Gary Hooper, the main striker of the Celtics, is only about 180 tall, but his abilities are relatively balanced in all aspects, and his body is strong enough, and according to the way the Celtics play Barcelona, ​​their main scoring methods are set kicks and counterattacks , Of course, their forwards also have tall men, the key is not knowing whether they will play today.

This game is expected by Juventus fans. Many Celtic fans don’t really know it well, but after all, this is a good signing. After three years, it’s time to stand on the stage of the Champions League again. Fans expect the team to surprise everyone and make a difference in the Champions League.

However, many experts are not in vain. In the live broadcast room of the sports station, He Wei asked Director Zhang a question. Juventus has never had an advantage in facing the English style of play. Does this game mean There are more bad luck and less good luck.

Director Zhang made it very clear, he said: "Barcelona's ability to pass and control the ball is stronger than Juventus, and the overall movement speed of the defense line is faster, but once the Celtics seize the opportunity to counterattack and set the ball, Juventus Tus must be very careful when defending set pieces!"

He focused on set-pieces, which is a good idea. Conte also focused on rehearsing set-pieces and corner-kick defensive tactics in pre-match preparations. Without Chiellini, Juventus’ defense is high. The point is Bonucci, who is just over 1.9 meters, and there is no player over 1.9 meters in the Juventus team. Take your chances, life is tough for Juventus.

The time came quickly, and players from both sides came to the player tunnel, outside was the theme song of the Champions League and the shouts of the Celtic fans.

Zhang Yuan looked at the Celtics players. Sure enough, several of them are tall. Compared with Juventus, the gap is indeed a bit big. Zhang Yuan is the third tallest in the starting lineup. He is taller than Bonucci and Barzagli.

But in today's starting selection, Conte did not use him as a center forward, and Zhang Yuan was paired with Matri, who has recently recovered.

The starting lineup for Juventus is like this.

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defender: Barzali Bonucci Caceres
Midfielder: Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio Peluso
Forward: Zhang Yuanmatri
Asamoah has returned to the team, but Conte chose to be on the safe side and chose Peluso, who had just joined during the winter break and has been playing recently.

The Celtics Neil Lennon sent a 433 formation,

Goalkeeper: Foster
Defender: Lustig Wilson, Ambroise Isaguirre

Midfielder: Brown Wanya Mamurglu
Forward: Commons Hooper Forrester
Explain the characteristics of Neil Lennon. The defense line is full of big men, with an average height of nearly 1.9 meters. The midfielders Wanyama and Mulgrew are also big men. Brown is only about 1.7 meters tall, and Common on the front line Smith and Hooper are playing wing positions today, and Forrester is a big forward.

Neil Lennon's usage in this game is different from the previous game against Barcelona. Today at his home court, facing Juventus, which is far inferior to Barcelona, ​​he made up his mind to give The opponent suffers a little bit.

Today's referee team is from Spain, the referee Marenco, compare the referee styles of various countries, the whistle of La Liga and Serie A is relatively more frequent, these two leagues are Latin-style leagues, pay attention to technical tactics, Bundesliga and Serie A The frequency of referee whistles in the Premier League is relatively less. Of course, there is no strict definition, it is just a habit. Maybe it will be different in the European competition.

Entering the arena and the pre-match ceremony was over. Players from both sides waited for the kick-off. Zhang Yuan and his teammates hugged each other. At the end, he hugged his striker partner Matri and wished each other good luck.

Marenco blew the whistle and the game officially started. Juventus kicked off first. Neil Lennon was indeed very courageous. At the beginning, he commanded the team to press up and implement oppressive tactics against Juventus. Celtic The man's scrambling action is very big. As soon as Marchisio took the ball, he was directly pushed to the ground by the aggressive Hooper.

To say that Neil Lennon is really cunning, in the two games against Barcelona, ​​he kept his stance very low, and set up a bus formation at the beginning of the game. In the two rounds, Barcelona's ball possession rate All of them exceeded 80%, and the Celtics may be afraid of Barcelona. They rarely use foul tactics at all, and basically wait for their opponents to beat them at the front of their penalty area.

At that time, the Celtics were a group of tall players who built a moving wall around the goalkeeper Foster. Barcelona had nearly 60 shots in the two rounds, but they couldn't help it.

But facing Juventus today is different. Neil Lennon has a different idea. It is still those people, but Neil Lennon wants to learn from the way the Celtics beat Juventus before. Attack the slow pace of Juventus with traditional English football.

So he was not afraid to use the Celtics' physical advantage, so the foul came.

Marchisio fell to the ground, Marenko whistled a free kick without warning, and Hooper's movement was not very big.

But the Juventus players did not miss such an opportunity at the beginning of the game. Conte danced and complained on the sidelines. Is this a kick or a kick? !
Marchisio, Vidal and others also put pressure on Marenco, but the result was nothing, but the purpose of the Juventus players is to put proper pressure on Marenco.

Faced with such pressure, it is very difficult for Juventus to move the ball to the frontcourt. The Celtics have a strong interception ability. They dare to take risks. Wanyama and other midfielders rely on their height and strength. , Keep making small moves.

In the 3rd minute, Juventus had just passed the ball to the frontcourt. Zhang Yuan, who retreated to respond, was directly overturned by Wanyama's fierce collision. Zhang Yuan lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. .

Unlucky for Zhang Yuan, who was extremely confident in his body, Wanyama was not much taller than Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan felt the impact, this big guy was really fucking strong, Zhang Yuan felt like his waist was broken.

"How do you feel?!" Marenco didn't give Wanya the horse card after calling the foul. Zhang Yuan was in pain at this time. How could he argue? The Juventus team doctor rushed to the stadium to check on Zhang Yuan's injury.

"It's not hurt, just let me take it easy!" Zhang Yuan touched his waist and buried his head in the grass.

The team doctor helped him massage, and it took dozens of seconds before Zhang Yuan stood up again. With the help of the team doctor, he got down to the sidelines. He lifted the jersey and saw a red spot on his waist. The meat is almost gone.

The team doctor sprayed his waist a few times to let Zhang Yuan feel it for himself. Anyway, the team doctor touched his bones and there was no problem with the bones.

Zhang Yuan bounced a few times on the sidelines, no major problems, and returned to the arena. Looking at the big black guy, Zhang Yuan cursed secretly: "Wanyama, right?! You wait for me!"
