Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 761

The momentum is not right, Conte is very aware of the situation on the field, his team runs a lot, and consumes a lot of energy, but now Barcelona has changed its strategy and is continuing to attack. Vilanova replaced Sanchez, making it clear Want to resolve fights in regular time.

Conte found a solution without thinking for a long time, and he quickly made personnel adjustments. In the 70th minute, he replaced Marchisio with Pogba.

Many people may think that this is a matchup substitution, but it is not. Pogba and Marchisio are not exactly the same players. Pogba is not as rich in defensive experience as Marchisio, and his sense of position is also poor. Not as good as Marchisio, but Pogba has his own advantages. His ability to control the ball is better than Marchisio, and it is easier to call forwards.

Maybe everyone thinks that Conte wants Pogba to replace Marchisio, who is not physically fit, but Conte's purpose is not like this. He saw a sign that Juventus is going to keep defending like this. Lost the ball.

It is easy to lose the ball and difficult to score. In order not to lose the ball, he now has to take a little risk and let Pogba, who has excellent ball control ability, replace Marchisio, which weakens the defensive strength to a certain extent, but it can be passed Try to control the ball as much as possible to stop Barcelona's non-stop attack and slow down the opponent's attack rhythm.

This is a risk. He doesn't know if Barcelona will take advantage of this moment, and Pogba's weakness in defensive position is not strong enough to score a goal.

Pogba has already been warming up. With Alessio's greeting, Pogba goes into battle. On the sidelines, Conte has been explaining to Pogba how to play his position, even though he knows Pogba's defense The sense of position is not very strong, but Conte has repeatedly emphasized to him that he must pay attention to going back to help defend on the court.

"Paul, your task is not as simple as defending. I need you to form a tandem with Zhang Yuan and Pirlo. Do you understand? Try to control the ball at our feet! Don't worry, don't be afraid of failure, you should shoot! Do you understand? Don't worry! Relax!" Conte rambled, Pogba was young after all, and it was such an important game, he was worried that Pogba would be very nervous.

Pogba is indeed a little nervous. This is the first time he has faced such a miserable situation. He also played against Bayern, but it was not so miserable. Barcelona's possession of the ball simply made Juventus breathless. Pasty, I don't quite understand why Juventus can't take the initiative.

But if he can't figure it out, he can't figure it out, he must obey the coach's arrangement now!
Stepping onto the grass of the Nou Camp, Pogba and his teammates also had a brief exchange. Zhang Yuan stretched out his right hand and patted Pogba's hand.

"Work hard, Paul, we are going to Wembley!" Zhang Yuan said to Pogba with encouragement.

Pogba's position is still Marchisio's position. Vilanova doesn't know Pogba very well. It's no wonder that Pogba has been substituting most of the time this season, and he may not be able to substitute for every game. On the stage, the performance of the teenager Pogba in the Champions League is not so outstanding.

The title of gifted child is only in a certain circle. Compared with superstars like Zhang Yuan and the others, Pogba is obviously much less famous. It is normal that Bilanova did not study Pogba too much. of.

Changed to a young player with better physical fitness and stronger body? !Vilanova thinks so, Pogba does have these two advantages.

He felt that it was not that simple, so he also consulted the assistant coach around him, what does Conte mean by this substitution? !Marchisio's physical fitness has not yet reached the point where he has to end.

His assistant coach is also at a loss. He doesn't understand what Conte's substitution means. When he doesn't understand others, the best way is to follow his own pace.

Barcelona is still following their own rhythm and actively looking for opportunities forward. Their ball passing is really good. Pogba didn’t even touch the ball for a few minutes after he came on the field. The position is the same as that of Marchisio who came off the field. Yes, the defensive role is also the same as that of Marchisio, but the difference between him and Marchisio is that he goes up and grabs. Pogba has the advantage of being tall, strong and long-legged, and tends to actively go up and steal.

As for the Barcelona players, they would easily give him such an opportunity. Before Pogba's legs were in place, they would pass the ball frequently. Fortunately, Pogba only played.

Vilanova doesn't think it's a good idea for Conte to play Pogba. Juventus' defensive organization in the early stage is still quite strong. The second half is still weak, but at least it hasn't allowed Barcelona to score. It was already in jeopardy. Now There is another Pogba. His sense of position is not particularly good, and he is the type to take the initiative to grab. He needs his teammates to fill in for him.

I'll go, what else am I thinking about you, Pogba is a loophole, I will specifically hit his side!
So with the transfer of Vilanova, Sanchez came to this side, and they also played this side exclusively. Everyone will not understand such a change. Zhang Yuan soon noticed that he was not very worried. This kind of situation always has to be faced, which can be regarded as the baptism of Pogba. Fortunately, Messi is not there, otherwise Messi and Alves are very difficult to deal with, and their power is far greater than that of Sanchez and Alves.

He was praying in his heart that Pogba could realize Conte's tactical intentions, even once!
Pogba also felt the pressure, not only him, but Asamoah on his side and both of them felt the pressure. Barcelona's Villa in the middle and midfielder Iniesta also frequently moved here On one side, it is a bit difficult to defend.

Let me break once, let me be bold once, just let you look good!Pogba said silently in his heart.

In the 77th minute, Iniesta received a direct pass from Busquets, and Pogba immediately rushed forward to grab the first time.

Some habits are formed by Pogba at Manchester United. For example, Juventus is not not good at grabbing, but it has to be time and place. Sometimes you need to be cautious. Pogba is not, he is always used to it. The first time to grab the ball is very common in the Premier League. They can use physical confrontation to attack the opponent. Even if the opponent has the ball, they will be collided in nine out of ten and cannot control the ball.

Iniesta was not worried about this, he turned around flexibly, this time seeing Pogba coming up aggressively, he immediately made up his mind to get past Pogba.

Iniesta's choice is nothing more than going left or right. Because his position is not on the far side, there is still a lot of room for choice.

Pogba looks fierce, but he is always calculating in his heart. In fact, he is not stupid. He has not broken the ball once, which does not mean that he has no ability to break the ball. Just kidding, he is also in the midfielder position. I have been playing for a long time, and I don't have the ability to steal the ball at all.

It looked fierce, but Pogba knew very well in his heart that he had to wait for Iniesta to move before he could make a move, and Iniesta was really fooled by Pogba. In order to avoid colliding with Pogba, He had to change direction early to avoid Pogba's pounce.

So if you are not familiar with your opponent on the court, it is easy to make a move. The young player Pogba let Iniesta make a move. As soon as he changed direction, Pogba has such a good physical fitness, quick eyes and quick feet, and he changed accordingly. Xiang, stretched out his long legs and poked the ball at Iniesta's feet.

And Zhang Yuan had been waiting for such an opportunity. As soon as Pogba poked him, he rushed up to catch the ball. Busquets was sticking to him. With both hands and feet, it was difficult for Zhang Yuan to turn around, but it didn’t matter!

After Pogba succeeded in stealing, he did not stop, passed Iniesta and continued forward, and Zhang Yuan passed the ball back to him.

Pogba is very courageous, he gets the ball and takes it forward. If Juventus has the ball in today's game, basically let Zhang Yuan handle it. Pogba is not like this at the moment. He doesn't seem to pass the ball at all. Just move forward.

Busquets hasn't given up on Zhang Yuan yet. Zhang Yuan runs forward and reaches Pique's defense zone. Then Busquets abandons Zhang Yuan. He wants to double-team Pogba with Iniesta and Alves. .

Pogba is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf. He is not afraid of such a situation. He is confident that he can beat Busquets. He stopped the sideline and passed Busquets with ease. , Pogba followed up with another pick and passed Alves.

Zhang Yuan is very wise not to rush forward blindly. Seeing Pogba's dribbling direction towards the middle, he quickly pulls to the side, the purpose is to attract Pique, and Pique has to move.

Pogba passed the ball as soon as he was on the sidelines. Both Pique and Bartra wanted to create an offside, but in a hurry, the offside was very unsuccessful.
