Chapter 78 "Rookie Wall?"

Martin Taylor on the second half of Manchester City's Europa League group stage game against Juventus at home.His "prophecy" was not entirely accurate.

Although Martin Taylor said that Manchester City will gradually take the initiative on the field in the second half.However, when you say "the competition is fierce," if one of the two sides in a football match is almost overwhelming the other, can it still be said that the competition is fierce?

Of course not.

Therefore, in the second half of this game, Juventus was suppressed by Manchester City in their own half.Although Victor and Del Piero are in Manchester City's half, they are always suppressing Manchester City's defense to prevent them from pressing across the board.After all, Victor and Del Piero both have their own level with the ball.

However, the football game pays attention to "the midfielder wins the world." Facing Manchester City's midfield combination, Juventus' midfielder is like a contest between teams that are not at the same level at all.was completely suppressed.

Not to mention the counterattack, the second half had just started with less than ten minutes.Melo and Marchisio, who were in charge of defense, were already out of breath, and their jerseys were already soaked in sweat.

Even so, watching Melo and Marchisio are so tired, not only from the body but also the spirit.Under the leadership of Yaya Toure, the Manchester City team still does not have any "soft-heartedness." It still has the intention of not breaking through the gate of Juventus.

But fortunately, like Juventus' goal this season, Manchester City is not so "enthusiastic" about the Europa League championship. Therefore, Robert Mancini is still "sit firmly on the Diaoyutai." The team suppressed Juventus on the scene, but still did not replace more attackers.Instead, let the players on the field play their own way.

In this way, the gate of Juventus has not been broken by Manchester City for a long time.Although Manchester City's starting center, the Argentine "beast" Carlos Tevez is not weak.But he has never been the kind of striker who "goals like weeds".

Therefore, until about twenty minutes into the second half of the game.Manchester City finally equalized the score.But before equalizing the score, Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez wasted more than just one or two chances.

And Manchester City was able to equalize the score because of the strong pressure of their own team. Juventus' defensive players have already suffered from physical and mental weakness.

"Yaya Toure, or Yaya Toure who controls the ball and attacks. As Manchester City's 'commander,' every time Manchester City attack, the football will be handed over to Yaya Toure in the center of the midfield." Martin Taylor in The game has progressed until now, although I have been watching Manchester City, which is playing on behalf of England, take the initiative on the field.But the goal has not come for a long time, so my heart is also very anxious.

"Yaya Toure brought football to the danger zone of Juventus. It seems that Juventus is now focused on defense. Before Yaya Toure received the ball, he also escaped Victor Lee's defense very easily.

And now, facing Marchisio's defense, there is Juventus' teammate behind him, the Brazilian Melo.How should Yaya Toure make his choice?Is it a shot or a pass?
pass the ball!Adam Johnson!
The ball went in!Adam Johnson made a very beautiful move, passing through the Juventus defense, and Yaya Toure also sent the football to Adam Johnson, who penetrated the Juventus defense for the first time.And Adam was very calm in front of the goal. A fake shot first tricked Juventus goalkeeper Storari to the ground.Then with an easy push, the football rolled from Storari's side into the goal.

Let's look at slow motion again.

Yaya Toure controlled the ball, Marchisio and Melo's defense made Yaya Toure seem helpless.But Adam Johnson suddenly formed a wonderful running combination with the retreating Tevez.And Yaya Toure also saw Adam Johnson's running position.

Then a scalpel-like pass tore through the Juventus defense and handed the football to Adam Johnson.Then scored. "

Manchester City equalized the score and the two sides returned to the same starting line.And this time Juventus conceded the ball, no one complained.After all, Adam Johnson and Yaya Toure have a great running position and a great pass.Let alone Storari, Buffon certainly couldn't prevent the goal from happening.

However, how should this game be played next?

The ensuing game immediately fell into a tug-of-war.After all, before this game, the head coaches of both sides had the same point of view.It just doesn't matter about the competition for the Europa League championship.However, Juventus coach Del Neri is planning to give up.And Manchester City's head coach Roberto Mancini just doesn't value it.

Therefore, the ensuing game can be described as "calm".Manchester City took advantage of the corner kick and smashed the football on the crossbar of Juventus' goal frame, making Juventus fans immediately fidgety.On the other hand, on Juventus' side, the old captain Del Piero's free kick also caused the Manchester City fans who were watching the game on the spot and at home to break into a cold sweat immediately.

The head coaches of both sides may have the same mentality when seeing the development of the game. After all, everyone is an Italian who pursues the "1-0 doctrine." Therefore, whether it is Juventus coach Del Neri or Manchester City The current coach Roberto Mancini is also "dispatching troops and dispatching generals." Staying strong for the weekend's league.Some of the main players in the starting lineup were replaced one by one.

Of course, Victor was also replaced by Iaquinta.But when Victor got off the field, his face looked a little unhappy.Although he high-fived with coach Del Neri, after returning to the bench, he immediately "surrounded" the whole person into the towel handed over.

As for what the football media will write about Victor's performance in this game after the game, we have no choice.But Victor himself felt that he still needed to improve and improve.Although a goal was scored in this game, it was in the opening stage.Whether it is Gareth Barry or De Jong in Manchester City's midfielder, or Kompany on the defensive line, they have not yet "take care" of Victor.

Afterwards, Victor, who was "cared for" by these people, was no longer able to pose any huge threat to Manchester City's goalkeeper, Joe Hart.

The game finally ended with a 1-1 draw, and the two sides "shake hands to make peace." After the game, the Juventus team hurried back to Turin did not care to check the football media's comments on the game .After all, the Serie A league, which is about to restart the war in three days, is about to resume.

Juventus is going on an expedition to Milan to play against Inter Milan.

This Juventus went to the Meazza (San Siro) Stadium to play against Inter Milan. The final score was 0-0, and the two sides shook hands to make a draw.But in the game.Before the game, Victor, who was considered by various Italian football media to be the "decisive nuclear weapon" on Juventus' front line, not to mention scoring goals, even the shooting data, after the game statistics, was a big "0. "

And Victor didn't play the whole game, only after about 0 minutes in the second half.He was replaced by coach Del Neri and Iaquinta. 0 goals, 0 shots, [-] assists.There are not many threatening passes.On the contrary, under the defense of Inter Milan, Victor, who was a little impatient, tripped Inter Milan's player with the ball during the counter-robbery, and received a yellow card.

Therefore, in the scoring after the game, Victor rarely got the lowest score of Juventus.

However, Juventus' post-match scoring, the highest score fell on a player who no one would think he could get the highest score.Leonardo Bonucci.

Before the game, the media believed that he would be tested by Inter Milan's forwards, whether it was "Cheetah" Eto'o or Milito.On the contrary, he was enlightened, uncharacteristically.First, "banned" Milito, who was at the top of Inter Milan, and cooperated with his teammates to let Eto'o do nothing in Juventus' penalty area.

This time, it can be said that "some families are happy and some are sad."

As a result, the Italian football media immediately had a new topic:

"Victor Lee's magic is not there, Juventus' striker is in a hurry."

"Inter Milan coach Benitez found a way to limit Victor, which is an excellent reference for other team coaches."

"0 goals, 0 shots, Juventus striker Victor Lee hits the 'rookie wall.'"

All kinds of reports like this immediately appeared in the new newspapers and magazines of the major football media on Monday, and in various comments about the weekend Serie A league on Monday night.It seems that everyone has discussed it before, just like the previous report that "Juventus 'suffers from' Victor dependence."

Now all the media immediately said that in this game, it was reflected that Victor was restricted by the arrangement of Inter Milan coach Benitez.In the future, the head coaches of all Serie A teams will "follow the calabash and paint the ladle," and use the "reference answers" given by Benitez, so that Victor can no longer "call the wind and rain."

But don't forget that there is also a Juventus own TV station.And this TV station's "Holy Lady," that is, the host of the TV station, is the so-called "Juventus Godmother." That is, the Christina Chiboto who has made thousands of Italian men crazy. .

And she was just as she had been during "Victor's Dependency", in Juventus TV's commentary program on Monday night.He said directly:
"No player is always in top form against every game, and Alessandro (Del Piero) can't do it, so Victor didn't score in this game against Inter Milan. Because he was so tired. Think about him, he is still a 20-year-old young man. He has scored goals against so many opponents. And this game...

So, I don't care what anyone says.I still believe in Victor, just like I believe in Alessandro.If you don't believe me, we'll see you in the league this weekend. "

Seeing the graceful and graceful Christina Chibotto cheering for Victor on the screen, many Italian men who watched the Juventus TV program because of her got up and silently turned off the TV in front of them.
