Chapter 264 The Devil's Schedule ([-])

After Van der Sar got the ball, he quickly threw the ball with his hand, and the ball was thrown directly to Davis who started early.

'Wild Boar' immediately began to speed up, after bypassing Romedal, Davis immediately made a through ball, and Piero swept past Hausweiler. This ball is quite dangerous, single-handed!

But Del Piero went wide in the final kick, which made Irgner smile and ran out to get the ball first.

"Damn it, this ball is really dangerous, this wild boar is really powerful, he is simply an all-around fighter." Nick couldn't help complaining inwardly, "But Piero's state seems a bit unstable."

Piero's current power in sports warfare has indeed declined significantly compared to previous years, which has a lot to do with the heavy damage he suffered in 97.

Otherwise, Del Piero is likely to be another Baggio.

When Nick ran back to halftime, he quietly told Metzelder and Dimi Reiter about the situation, and asked them to deliberately defend Piero a little harder. Since the Zebra Prince still has a shadow in his heart, they can put a little more pressure on him defensively.

Sure enough, in the ensuing games, as long as Metzelder or Dimi Reiter slightly increased the intensity of physical contact, Piero would instinctively choose to evade. He really couldn't afford to be injured.

Ancelotti off the court saw this situation and immediately understood what was going on, so he signaled for a substitution. Yugoslav star Kovacevic came on and Del Piero went off.

Nick couldn't help talking nonsense about Ancelotti's shrewdness: "This shows our intention. This Ancelotti is really not simple. He deserves to be a world famous coach in the future."

Kovacevic has a strong impact and has good skills at his feet. In many teams, he will be the main force who cannot be beaten. It's just that in Juventus, the main force is still elusive for him.

So Kovacevic moved actively as soon as he came on the court, trying to seize the opportunity to perform.

In the 58th minute, Kovacevic received a diagonal pass from Davis from the right, and it was a header on the penalty area line.

But it was enough to get the attention of the Borussia Mönchengladbach players.

Juventus may play more directly, using the ability of the two players on the front line to seize opportunities to play, and they have to base themselves on the score of 2:2, which means that Juventus will play a defensive counterattack.

After playing for another 5 minutes, Nick decisively judged that Juventus is indeed playing like this. It seems that Ancelotti made arrangements during the intermission.

But is the score of 2:2 enough for Juventus at home?Do you still want to use the Italian-style chain defense to completely freeze Borussia Mönchengladbach's offense, and then catch the counterattack?
"It seems that Ancelotti is still a bit conservative." Nix breathed a sigh of relief, letting so many world-class stars not attack, Ancelotti is really reckless.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's formation began to press forward, but the thickness of the entire midfield remained good.

As for the offense, Nick simply passed the ball to Ronaldinho, allowing Ronaldinho to use his personal skills to single out the Juventus defenders.

The more Ronaldinho played, the happier he was. He likes to have the ball under his feet.

In the 65th minute, Ronaldinho broke into the penalty area and shot from a small angle after continuously shaking Conte and Billindelli on the left. The ball was blocked by Van der Sar with his foot.

Three minutes later, Ronaldinho ran to the right again and turned Pesoto into a somersault. This time he chose to sweep across the goal. Cui Yongzhu was half a beat behind his feet. When he fell to the ground to shoot, the ball had already been destroyed by Ferrara.

Ronaldinho's consecutive breakthroughs won cheers from Borussia Mönchengladbach fans in the stands, and his Japanese girlfriend Shizuko Matsushita screamed even more. The two are now in the honeymoon period of their relationship. Matsushita Shizuko will watch the away games, not to mention the home games, and give Ronaldinho a boost.

With Ronaldinho playing like this, Juventus' formation began to shrink passively, reducing the space for Ronaldinho to break through.

But in this way, Mönchengladbach's formation began to move forward again. Now it seems that Mönchengladbach completely suppressed Juventus within the half.

In the 73rd minute, Ronaldinho swayed from the right and suddenly made a cross to the middle. Micoud put in a through ball. Illie couldn't turn around in the penalty area, but he suddenly shot with his heel, and the ball bumped and rolled to the far corner of the goal. Van der Sar was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, but the ball still failed to roll into the goal.

In the 77th minute, Micoud and Nick played two-for-one, and Nick inserted into the front of the Juventus penalty area. Before Tacchinati grabbed it, he kicked a curve ball with his left foot, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 79th minute, this time it was Li Yihuan who dribbled the ball in from the left.

Although Borussia Mönchengladbach still failed to score, the ten-minute performance caused all the fans of the home team at the Alpenstadion to turn off their lights, while the smaller number of Borussia Mönchengladbach fans stood up and cheered for the team.

Suppressing Juventus and constantly creating shooting opportunities, the current form on the field is extremely beneficial to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Ancelotti couldn't sit still on the sidelines, and he didn't expect that the form on the field would change suddenly. After thinking about it, Ancelotti still signaled a substitution. He replaced Inzaghi with Montero, added a defender, and strengthened the defense.

And Karl also changed immediately, and the young player Huntelaar came on and replaced Cui Yongzhu.

Although the Koreans have plenty of physical strength, they can't run anymore. Carl replaced with a new force and continued to attack the Juventus penalty area.

Then Karl replaced Illie with Nossa, and now Karl is going to use the energetic Nossa and Huntelaar to attack Juventus' defense in order to break the balance.

In the 88th minute, the opportunity came. Ronaldinho moved to the center and made a through pass. The teenager Huntelaar stepped on the ball without stopping, and he turned around. Ferrara was passed by Huntelaar. He just wanted to reach out, but remembered that he was in the penalty area, and quickly retracted his hand, and then chased after him.

Huntelaar turned around and shot, but due to the crowd in the penalty area, Huntelaar's ball hit Montero's arm directly and flew out of the baseline!
The Borussia Mönchengladbach players immediately signaled that it was a handball and a penalty kick should be awarded!

Nick also ran to the referee.

"Mr. Referee, Juventus No. 4 made a handball foul. He blocked the shot. This should be a penalty!"

The referee showed hesitation on his face. Because the shot was too fast, the referee did not see it clearly. Montero seemed to be handballing, but it was not easy for the referee to judge whether he was intentional or unintentional. Moreover, this is Juventus's home court. The referee's hesitation has a reason.

A hastily awarded a penalty kick may directly change the result of the game. The referee hesitated for a moment and signaled Borussia Mönchengladbach to take a corner kick.

"Damn, the ball will not be judged, it will directly affect the goal of the ball, did the referee accept the gift?" Nick thought of the Italian football's "Telephone Gate Incident", and suddenly felt that this game might not be that simple.

The 'Old Lady' is good at putting 12 players on the team and now they are benefiting again.

However, Nick still dissuaded his teammates. Since the referee did not make a judgment, it would be useless to say more. It is better to concentrate on playing this corner kick.

Ronaldinho came running to take the corner, and Nick stood up front, which is his favorite position, and Montero ran to mark him.

"Be careful, you have handballed just now, be careful this time, you have handball again." Nick sneered.

Montero retorted: "You kid has three eyes? No one else saw it, but you saw it. If you want to cheat a penalty, the referee's eyes are sharp."

Nick didn't answer Montero. Obviously this is an old world, and he can only teach him with goals.

The whistle sounded, and Ronaldinho kicked the ball up with a curved kick.

Nick jumped up at the previous point, but he found that Ronaldinho's penalty was a bit high, and he didn't grab the point. He just shook Montero behind him.

The ball flew directly to the back point, and Illie deserved his title of 'Viper', and his running position just caught up with the ball falling.

Iliye can choose to shoot, but the angle is very small. He glanced at the situation in the penalty area, and when Pesoto rushed to block, he suddenly headed a little towards the penalty.
