Chapter 99 Against Catania

At the end of the 2010-2011 season, Juventus still failed to win the Serie A after Jose Mourinho, the head coach who seemed to bring Inter Milan back to the "big international era" of the year, left Serie A. champion.

In this regard, although each football critic has his own different views.However, without exception, one of the problems is the Juventus striker.It seems that apart from Victor, no one can score crazy goals anymore.On the defensive line, although Bonucci also became the kind of "steel central defender" after a few seasons.

But now, Bonucci's "pit team" attributes have made Juventus always feel that they will definitely lose the ball in every game.On the forward line, although Quali Larera and Tony introduced during the winter break can also have a stable goal.However, the combined effect of the two of them seems to be on par with Victor.

So, this is an away game against Catania, and then there will be a home game against the "Blue Eagle" Lazio.The only thing Juventus can rely on is Victor.

However, before the first away game against Catania, first of all, Del Neri continued to emphasize before the team's starting 11 people were about to set foot on the lawn to start the campaign.

"Be careful of the opponent's No. 8 player, Ledesma. His long-range shooting skills are very good. In addition, their forward, that is called Morimoto Takayuki, and his running position also allows him to gain a foothold in Serie A."

Yes, at that time Catania's main striker was the Japanese Morimoto Takayuki, and he was able to gain a foothold in Serie A by running in the frontcourt and running out of position, although his talent is also limited. Then some.However, he relies more on his diligence.

Therefore, after the start of the game, Juventus' defense was first "tested" by Catania, who played at home.

"Storari made a beautiful save. Although the long-range shot was shot out of the goal range, it also flew off the post."

"It's like this. We can see through the slow motion that the ball Ledesma shot is very beautiful, very powerful, and the ball hardly spins in the air. It is very smooth. And Storari's save , if the ball is within the range of the goal frame, I believe Storari can also save the ball out of bounds."

The Serie A channel of Sky TV for this game is still narrated by Gentile and Marchegiani. Now the two are applauding Catania's offense and sweating for Juventus' defense .

"It stands to reason that Juventus' defense should always be representative of our Italian football, but I don't know why. After the start of this season, it feels that Juventus must concede goals in every game. And the conceded goals, it seems that it is not The kind of ball that cannot be saved, or the opponent's cooperation is very beautiful."

"I agree with you, Gentile." Marchigiani watched Juventus pass the ball to each other in the backcourt, stabilized the team's rhythm, and then faced the microphone in front of him, first agreeing with the " Old partner," Gentile's take.Then went on to say:

"Actually, what we see is very clear. This season, Juventus spent 1500 million euros to bring Bonucci from Bari. He is also one of the main central defenders of Juventus. The 'time bomb' of the defense. However, no one in Juventus can replace him. Although it can be replaced by a veteran, such as Leta Role. However, I believe that Juventus is now no matter whether it is the chairman or the manager, or even the team's leader. Coach Del Neri can see the potential of Bonucci. Therefore, I think that although Juventus is very aware of the "dangerousness" of Bonucci in the defense, for the future development of the team, it is still necessary to use him. Nucci."

Having said that, Catania's attack is coming again.Still pass the football to the wing first, and then attract Juventus' defensive attention.Immediately cross to the middle.Then, Ledesma, who came in from the back row, raised his right foot again.Then, as if using all the strength in his body, he slammed the football hard.

"Duang" sound.

"Ledesma!" Gentile roared.Seeing that the football was immediately cleared by the Juventus players, he immediately said: "This can be said to be the best shot of Catania since the opening. It was still Ledesma. It is a pity. Ledes Ma vigorously shot from a long distance, and the football brushed against Storari's fingers and flew towards the absolute dead end of the Juventus goal. But the strength seemed to be a little stronger. Therefore, the football hit the point where the crossbar and the column meet. Then it fell into the Juventus penalty area. It was quickly cleared by the Juventus players."

But Juventus can't just "just take a beating and don't fight back," and Catania can be regarded as "the opening three tricks" and it is also the past.But fortunately, Catania did not score a goal.Therefore, Juventus, who was wearing the away white jersey, also launched a counterattack against Catania.

And Juventus's counterattack naturally relies on the "backbone" of the frontcourt attack, that is, Victor.

"Juventus didn't seem to have anything to do with the ball. Krasic passed the football to Victor who moved to the right. Victor received the ball, turned around and hit the football with his left foot behind him. The front of the right foot, and then the ball with the right foot, from Catania's left dribble breakthrough.

It looks like Juventus' attack is about to return in vain again.After Krasic passed the ball to Victor, he moved towards the center.Although Krasic has a long-range shot.But it is a pity that he has always had Catania players by his side.Victor took the ball and was forced by Catania's defensive players and could only stay on the right.As for Iaquinta, who started this game with Victor, I think it will be difficult for Victor to pass the ball to him.After all he was caught in the 'quake' of Catania's defensive line. "

Not enough, this is for Gentile.Victor, who was dribbling the ball on the court, relied on good skills at his feet, although he was forced by Catania's defensive players to only be able to dribble the ball on the right.But Victor's eyes have been watching Catania's restricted area.

And Victor suddenly saw Simone Pepe cutting in at high speed on the left.And Victor also felt that Simeone Pepe would definitely insert into Catania's restricted area in the next step.Therefore, Victor immediately knocked the football to the left side of his body with his right heel, which made the Catania players marking Victor rush "over" due to the inertia of their bodies.

Then Victor immediately stepped on the lawn, and then "fished" the football to the right side of his body with his right foot.Although Victor's left foot is not bad, his right foot is still his good foot after all.Then use the short unmarked space that Catania's players "created" for themselves.Immediately crosses with the right foot.

"Victor was great, no, it was a cross. Does the pass look like it was going to Iaquinta?

wrong!It's for Pepe, Simone Pepe.Simeone Pepe shoots without stopping the ball!
The ball went in!Juventus lead Catania 0-1 away.It was Simone Pepe who scored and Victor who assisted him.This ball Victor showed us that his passing level is also very superb. This ball just fell at the feet of Simeone Pepe who inserted into the penalty area. Simeone Pepe can hit the goal very comfortably without make any adjustments. "

On the field, Simone Pepe, who scored Juventus's first goal of the game, also ran to Victor's side who passed him the ball, and then hugged Victor.And the other Juventus players also ran over to celebrate the goal with the two.

But the Juventus fans were not excited for too long. A few minutes later, the players from Catania, Ledesma and Takayuki Morimoto, whom Juventus coach Del Neri had always emphasized before the game, partnered. Breaking through the gate of Juventus, the score was tied at 1-1.
And Juventus's conceded goal naturally cannot be "missing" Bonucci.

"Ledesma, he took the ball from the right side of Juventus, which is the left side of Catania's attacking direction. It attracted two Juventus defenders. But he couldn't use himself like Victor. The technique at the feet dribbles the ball through the defensive player in front of him. Therefore, he can only force a cross when he is about to go out of the boundary.

The ball looked very harmless, and the Juventus players could clear it very easily. "

Just when Gentile said this, suddenly, the ball should be able to lift his foot very steadily to clear Bonucci, but he did not expect that when he raised his foot and was about to kick the football out of Juventus' danger zone, slipped.Then the raised foot also touched the football.

But it only "cleared" the football out of the small penalty area.In the big penalty area, I thought there would be no chance at all, but I still ran diligently, and Takayuki Morimoto was about to insert into Juventus' small penalty area to compete for the ball.Other than that, I got the "gift" brought by myself because of my diligence.

It was the football that Bonucci just touched, which happened to land in front of Takayuki Morimoto.Now, of course Morimoto Takayuki would not waste this opportunity.There is "Japanese Ronaldo," of course the Brazilian Ronaldo, who is also known as Takayuki Morimoto with a bald head.Immediately kick the football towards the lower right corner of the Juventus goal with the arch of the foot.

Football also rolled into the gate of Juventus in the desperate and disappointed eyes of Juventus fans.As for Storari, Bonucci's clearance made Storari a little stunned, and Takayuki Morimoto's ball was a push, but it was not weak.So I can only watch the football enter the gate of my own handle.

The score of the first half ended with both sides scoring a goal, 1-1.However, before the end of the first half, Iaquinta still received a very comfortable ball from Victor after the cooperation between Krasic and Victor.Not attached to the ground, about ten centimeters from the ground.

Iaquinta also squeezed the Catania players behind him at the time, and then volleyed against the football.The football also hit the crossbar first, then bounced onto the turf, and was cleared by Catania's players because the angle was facing the goal.

Iaquinta naturally raised his hand to indicate that the ball crossed the goal line.But the referee thought it was not crossed.However, during the intermission, through slow-motion replay, the ball did indeed cross Catania's goal line as a whole.

However, the referee is the biggest.Therefore, although the Juventus players were unwilling, they still had no choice but to accept the tie and enter the second half.
