Chapter 77 Juventus is Dangerous

Victor helped Juventus take the lead in the Europa League group stage against Manchester City.However, seeing Victor so ecstatically at Manchester City's home stadium, which is still called the City Stadium, is a celebration like this.

Manchester City fans naturally booed bursts.And the Manchester City players, also looking at the Juventus players after the goal, seemed to have anger burning in their eyes.At the same time, as the coach of Manchester City, the Italian Roberto Mancini even walked to the sidelines.Loudly shouted the team's core player on the field, the Ivorian Yaya Toure, to his side, and then shouted two phrases at the big black man.

One is defensive and the other is offensive.

The Ivorian who was instructed by the head coach nodded immediately, and then ran back to the court.While the Juventus players celebrate the goal and prepare to reposition, prepare for the kick-off.Yaya Toure immediately told the coach's intentions to his teammates.

Kick-off resumed for Manchester City and the game continued.

In the next game, Juventus, who scored a goal, was even more motivated, but the Juventus players who had already changed their "identities" unconsciously, maybe they didn't even notice it.My current mentality, as well as the mentality of the opposing Manchester City players, have quietly changed after this goal.

The former Juventus players, although unwilling to admit it, including the head coach Del Neri, are very clear.The Manchester City players in front of them are indeed better than themselves.Let's talk about the midfielder, De Jong, Barry, Yaya Toure, and the Spaniard David Silva, which one is not bought by Manchester City for "huge sums".

As for the midfield combination of Juventus, some fans may not recognize the strength of Manchester City, insisting that it is owned by Manchester City, and the Abu Dhabi consortium in the United Arab Emirates was regarded as a "captain" by the owners of these teams who sold them. "It cost a lot more than the player's worth to buy these players.

However, have they ever thought about why the Abu Dhabi consortium brought these players to Manchester City.Or rather, who helped the Abu Dhabi consortium bring these players to Manchester City.

The answer is simple, of course it is the relevant people in the football world.For example, the famous football agent, or the head coach Roberto Mancini.

If the Abu Dhabi consortium in the United Arab Emirates does not understand football, it only knows the names of some stars.Well, it's impossible for these agents who are engaged in football, as well as the head coach Roberto Mancini, to not understand football.If the agent purely wants to earn commissions for player transfer fees, some situations are not considered.Then, as a famous star of Sampdoria before, Robert Mancini, who later coached Inter Milan to "monopoly" the Serie A championship after the "Telephone Gate" incident, could not ignore these reasons.

So why bring these players to Manchester City and not others?In other words, not one of the four in Juventus' midfield.

The reason is simple, that is, whether it is the agent who brought these players to Manchester City, or Robert Mancini, they think that Juventus's four midfielders either do not conform to their tactical design, or Simply not capable enough.Or there may be restrictions on the "hukou book" of England or the European Union.

But there is no doubt that before the start of the game, the Juventus players who planned to fight Manchester City with a "sorrow" mentality.Under the "effect" of these European media, I think that the comparison between myself and Manchester City is like those warriors who want to slay the dragon.

However, with Victor's goal, the Juventus players suddenly felt, "Hey, this dragon is not strong." However, Juventus, the "dragon slaying warrior," did not know .The "dragon" they are facing now may be dozing off, or not yet awakened from sleep.

And then, the "dragon" of the Manchester City team felt hungry, or after completely waking up from sleep.The Juventus players immediately felt that the game was so difficult.

"Juventus attack, Krasic wants to break through Krarov's defense, he is too sticky to the ball. Krasic is too confident in himself, he is not a winger from Brazil or Portugal, but a winger. A simple winger. Therefore, the football was cut off by Krarov and De Jong, one of the midfielders who replaced him."

"Victor takes the ball, beautiful interception, Manchester City's centre-back, the Belgian Kompany doesn't give Victor any chance to perform. Body blocks, then sticks to Victor, very beautiful stealth force, while extending his foot to intercept the ball .Victor lost the ball at his feet and got pushed aside by Kompanyka."

"It seems that since Victor scored that goal, there has never been a chance to perform. And that goal, through the current game, looks more like a mistake by Manchester City's defense. No defensive player posted Victor in time, so That’s why Victor can easily receive the football outside the penalty area, then dribble it and score a goal.”

"Yes, now Victor has experienced Manchester City's 'high-level' defense. Outside the penalty area, there are Yaya Toure, Gareth Barry and De Jong who are pressing in turn. Victor got it After football. And once into the penalty area, Manchester City's central defender Kompany immediately surrounded him.

And if Victor wants to use his personal skills to break through the defensive player in front of him, and then make the next move, it is very difficult now.Because the few defensive players he faced, to be honest, they were not opponents comparable to the defensive players he faced in Serie A. "

"Now, the only one who can control the football under the pressure of Manchester City's defense is the old captain Del Piero. After all, the old captain Del Piero has high personal ability and technology, plus The experience brought by his long career allowed him to control the football with ease under Manchester City's defense.

However, Del Piero, who is already 35 and almost 36 years old, is no longer as brave as he used to be.Look at his opponents. Although Del Piero can control the football, his physical confrontation and explosive power have prevented him from finding an excellent shooting space. "

Therefore, Juventus' offense did not improve in the ensuing time.And this ebb and flow, after Juventus's offense was restricted by Manchester City, it was Manchester City's turn to start attacking.

"Yaya Toure's long shot! It was saved by Storari!" Martin Taylor shouted.Manchester City's offense began to kick off.

Yaya Toure, as a former member of Barcelona, ​​has no doubts about his natural skills.And Gareth Barry next to him is also a solid midfielder, defending, passing, and organizing. Although he is not a top player, he is very good as an assistant.And De Jong can also make Yaya Toure feel extremely at ease, even if he loses the ball, he can regain it for himself.

However, Yaya Toure is not the only offensive organizer of Manchester City.David Silva, who came from Spain's Valencia team, took over the "heavy task" of Manchester City's offense after Juventus "aligned" the center of defense with Yaya Toure.

If Yaya Toure from Côte d'Ivoire is like a broadsword, opening and closing, "the epee has no edge, and the big tricks don't work." Then the Spaniard David Silva is a smart sword.I don't know when it will suddenly come out of the sheath, and then take the enemy's head.

In the final stage of the first half, Manchester City almost broke the gate of Juventus.

"Garys Barry had the ball, got past Krasic's tackle, and gave the ball to the playmaker, Yaya Toure. Yaya Toure's dribbling, although Yaya Toure wasn't very fast, But it was very secure. Toure cooperated with the retreating Silva and left Marchisio behind. Yaya Toure reached the outer edge of the penalty area and was ready to shoot!

Oh, not a shot!Yaya Toure's previous heavy artillery attack made the Juventus players very terrified. Therefore, Melo, who saw Yaya Toure about to shoot, stretched his feet directly to block.But Yaya Toure these are just a fake pass.Passes the ball to Adam Johnson's feet.

But is it inappropriate to give the ball to Johnson? Johnson is surrounded by Juventus players.Ah, Adam Johnson made it back to Yaya Toure, who got rid of Melo's marking, and Toure passed the ball again to Carlos Tevez who was ambushing in the group.

Carlos Tevez shoots!Storari didn't touch football! "

Outside the Manchester City bench, coach Roberto Mancini saw Yaya Toure pass the football to Carlos Tevez at the end, and his arms were already open to celebrate the goal.But when he saw that the football Tevez proposed didn't fly into Juventus' gate as he expected, he immediately couldn't help but made the same action as Tevez who shot the ball on the field.

Holding his head in his hands, he looked very annoyed.

And Martin Taylor, who was about to shout "The goal is in! GOAL!", also saw that Tevez's ball missed the goal of Juventus, and immediately stopped your own almost sent business.Then he said with an annoyed tone:

"Fortunately, Tevez's non-stop ball directly missed the goal frame. If Tevez can hit the goal frame a little bit, then the score can be equalized in the first half. But now, with Tevez This time the shot was missed. The referee also blew the whistle for the end of the first half. But I think that for Juventus and Manchester City, the second half of the game must be more intense. And the home team Manchester City The team will definitely want to bring the second half of the game into a rhythm under their control."
