Chapter 833 Two Mountain Axes
Conservatism is undoubtedly a misstep by Montella in dealing with today's game. It is no wonder that coaches from Italy, even coaches with a forward background like Montella, sometimes appear conservative.

Today's Juventus kept a very compact formation when pressing up, which made it very convenient for the midfielder to intercept.

Everyone who plays football should know that when the formation is compact, the opponent's ball space or breakthrough space will be limited, and the probability of being intercepted and stealed will increase.

Playing against Juventus in the last round was not only because Fiorentina's passing and possession were really good and excellent, but also not only because Juventus' two strikers were absent, Giovinco was gifted in confrontation Sexual disadvantage, but also because Fiorentina maintains a very compact formation, can make timely interceptions, and can prevent Juventus' advancement through fouls if they cannot intercept. In fact, Fiorentina's fouls in the last round far exceeded Juventus.

In this game, Juventus can be said to be repaying the person in the same way. Under the stimulation of the high-level, Juventus showed a strong winning momentum, and the two generals on the front line were very active.

Before Zhang Yuan’s game, Conte told him to be bold in the face of Fiorentina’s intensive defense, don’t be afraid of losing the ball, try to find shooting opportunities, and don’t necessarily pass the ball to other places every time.

Zhang Yuan whispered a few words to Twist when he was playing, to the effect that we should cooperate tacitly and be bold today!
The protagonist who confronted Zhang Yuan today was Savage. Fiorentina also played 352 today. Rodriguez is on the right at the center back position, Tomovic is on the left, and Zhang Yuan is often in the middle In terms of position, due to Juventus's fierce offensive, Fiorentina's two sides retreated relatively deep, so in fact Zhang Yuan was not the only central defender against Savage.

His partner Carlos Tevez mainly wanders around the perimeter. Tevez has the ability to cast cold arrows on the perimeter and pass the ball delicately. Of course, if he enters the penalty area, he will not have too many problems. He and Zhang Yuan Both belong to the more versatile forward.

Savage stayed in Manchester City for a season before, but it ended in failure. Instead, he came to Fiorentina. He played well under Montella. He is a good central defender in Serie A. You must know his age Even younger than Zhang Yuan.

He is very tall, has a better position, and has a better ability to handle high-altitude balls. Llorente did not take advantage of him in the last round. It was Llorente's turn that he was stronger than him, but this guy It is very good in prediction and position selection, so Llorente can't take advantage of it.

In view of the advantage of Fiorentina's central defender in high-altitude balls in the last round, Juventus will resolutely attack on the ground this round. Lichtsteiner and Asamoah on the wing try not to take crosses from the wing. Instead, they will wait for the opportunity to kill the penalty area directly, involving the movement of Florence's three central defenders.

Llorente has no advantage against Savage, but Zhang Yuan has an advantage against Savage. Zhang Yuan's turning speed is fast and his physical condition is not bad. The main reason why Savage can't play in the Premier League is because of one He was young at that time, the pace of the Premier League was fast, and he needed to handle the ball quickly. Savage did not do very well in this respect. Another aspect is that although his height is high, he still lacks strength.

Once Zhang Yuan clings to him, he will have nothing to do with Zhang Yuan.

Today, it seemed very easy for Zhang Yuan to catch the ball with his back. In the 7th minute, Carlos Tevez passed a back ball to Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan leaned on Savage and successfully caught the ball. Gao, pushed Zhang Yuan from behind, no matter what, he couldn't squeeze Zhang Yuan to lose his center of gravity. On the contrary, after Zhang Yuan grabbed the ball, he pulled and made two consecutive false shots. Driggs and Savage flew to the dead corner of the goal. Fortunately, during the maneuvers and inversions, Neto's attention was very focused, his position was also very good, and he got the ball easily.

But such a detail already shows that it is not easy for Savage to fight against Zhang Yuan. Montella didn't particularly care about it when he saw this scene. Zhang Yuan's capable central defender mainly relies on the overall movement of the defensive line to make up for the position, leaving Zhang Yuan with no space to kick or make up for the ball.

Fiorentina did a good job just now. Rodriguez's timely appearance made Zhang Yuan unable to continue flashing. He could only choose to shoot or send the ball out of the penalty area again. The attack was basically a failure.

But Montella was too optimistic. Savage suffered a loss and felt a little apprehensive facing Zhang Yuan, so he stuck to Zhang Yuan very closely. He just wanted to meet Zhang Yuan immediately. The ball reacts, and it is definitely not a good thing to be too far away from the offensive player in the penalty area.

Seeing that Savage was sticking too close to him, Zhang Yuan simply went to withdraw from the penalty area from time to time. Savage was very confused, and he followed or not. After a few times, he still chose to follow, because Zhang Yuan After receiving the ball outside the penalty area, he shot immediately. Instead of following him, Zhang Yuan had the opportunity to shoot from a long distance.

In the 14th minute, Juventus' offensive developed to the front again, Fiorentina's formation shrunk well, Zhang Yuan stood in the penalty area and entangled with Savage.

Juventus cooperated with continuous short passes on the outside. After Tevez took the ball, Zhang Yuan suddenly walked out from the penalty area to receive the ball. Tevez took the ball to face Pizarro and suddenly passed the ball to Zhang Yuan. Then he quickly to move forward.

Zhang Yuan came out, the ball reached his feet, and he slammed the ball to the side and rear with his flower-arranging foot non-stop. Savage was caught off guard, and the ball went through his crotch. Tevez caught the ball and went straight to the penalty area of ​​Florence. .

Everything progressed too fast, Rodriguez and Tomovic failed to make up for the gap left by Savage, Tevez did not dribble, and raised his foot to shoot. This cooperation was a sudden, If you take one more step forward, this opportunity will be gone, Tevez is very sober.

Tomovic fell to the ground and stretched his feet, his reaction was slow, the ball passed him and he shoveled it in place. The ball went straight into the lower left corner of the goal. Neto's fingertips seemed to have touched the ball, but he still couldn't get the ball away.

Juventus took a 1:0 lead, and the situation has reversed again. Now Juventus has the advantage.

Tevez excitedly ran to the sidelines to celebrate, Zhang Yuan and other teammates rushed over, the club executives in the stands were also elated, Agnelli smiled and gave Nedved a high-five, they were all mobilized for this game , Even if it is the home court of the deadly enemy, they have come, because this game is too critical.

Tevez's goal immediately reminded Marotta of the earlier plan. Why not keep Tevez and transfer Zhang Yuan? Look, Tevez is also the key man of the team. Such a difficult away game is for Juventus S knocked on the door.

Carlos Tevez applauded Zhang Yuan's wonderful kick, Zhang Yuan was the first to run to him, and he greeted Zhang Yuan with open arms, patted Zhang Yuan on the back and said: "The pass just now was really great! "

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Savic is too stubborn to stick to me. I want to seize this opportunity to lure him out and let you kill the restricted area. Haha, Carlos and we are lucky, we thought of getting together! The matter of wearing crotch I have to be a little bit lucky, after all, I am behind my back!"

What Zhang Yuan said is absolutely right. When Tevez saw Zhang Yuan coming out, he immediately passed the ball and wanted to take advantage of the gap after Savage came out. Although Pizarro is old and has experience, he can't observe what is behind him. In terms of situation, Tevez was faster than him, and easily made a strong fight with Zhang Yuan.

Carlos Tevez also mourned for Savage. Savage used to be his teammate. At this time, everyone is in charge and can only say sorry silently in his heart.

Of course, this mistake was not the responsibility of Savage alone. It was a collective mistake in the defense of Fiorentina in the continuous passing of Juventus. Montella wiped his face in pain on the sidelines. Now he knows that he is too Optimistic, my team's defensive formation is standing very well, but it can't stand the two cutting axes on the Juventus striker.
