Hexagonal monster crushing European football

As a central midfielder, Alnanez is best at large-scale transfers and quite good breakthrough ability with the ball.

Of course, since he is called a "guard", it means that he has a very clear defensive task on the court.

In this game, his task is to defend Zhao Yi.

Alnanez has been following Zhao Yi since Gundogan received the ball.

It makes it difficult for Zhao Yi to catch the ball, or even makes it impossible for Zhao Yi to catch the ball at all.

Of course, Allegri, as a first-class head coach, has a fairly accurate understanding of Zhao Yi's level.

Alnanez has speed and agility.

But the body is not strong enough.

Just like a leopard, it has a perfect body shape and can run very fast, but when it comes to lions and tigers, it is not enough to look at.

Zhao Yi's confrontation ability is quite good, and one Alnanez is probably not enough.

So Sturola will be ready to help defend at any time.

As for the other two midfielders of Juventus, Pogba will basically not participate in defense and needs to organize the offense.

Cuadrado has a defensive and offensive role, and he is responsible for marking De Bruyne.

After Gundogan held the ball, he discovered that Alnanes had been following Zhao Yi, while Sturola kept walking back and forth between Zhao Yi and the player holding the ball, thinking about intercepting a possible pass.

Therefore, Gundogan did not pass the ball to Zhao Yi, but passed the ball backwards after encountering an interception.

Manchester City did not attack quickly in the opening game.

And Juventus did not press hard.

In the opening stage, both sides were testing each other.

Manchester City's ball was moving in the midfield and back, while Juventus' players looked more like they were playing in a training match, only grabbing it symbolically.

When the Manchester City players took the ball away, the pressing Juventus players swayed slowly.

Gundogan and Fernandinho, as well as the retreating De Bruyne passed the ball continuously.

The four midfielders, Morata, Mandzukic, Cuadrado and Pogba, are interfering.

Suddenly, as if receiving some instructions, Juventus's midfielders and frontfielders began to press on Manchester City's midfielders and backfields almost at the same time!

This is action, the ability to execute tactics.

The pressing effect of one person is almost non-existent, but moving at the same time will make the ball holder nervous.

The passing game is likely to be leaky.

Juventus started with a slow pace, obviously to paralyze Manchester City.

This time, the Juventus players pounced directly on their pressing player, and Gundogan quickly moved backwards.

After Zabaleta received the ball, Mandzukic came flying.

Zabaleta was unperturbed. When he saw Juventus pressing players in the middle, he did not dare to pass it to Kompany easily. He turned around and kicked directly to Joe Hart who was standing on the edge of the penalty area.

This is one of Guardiola's tactics. When pressed, the goalkeeper will also become a part of the pass.

This way, his team will always have an extra man when passing the ball.

However, there is a problem.

Joe Hart doesn’t have that ability.

In other words, his ball-holding and passing skills are not up to Guardiola's requirements.

Therefore, no matter how good Joe Hart's save level is, he will still be outside of Guardiola's tactical system.

Facing the onrushing Morata, Joe Hart did not dare to pass the ball to Kolarov, and he was even less able to directly find Gundogan and Fernandinho in the midfield.

In order not to make a mistake, he could only drive out with a big kick.

The siege was indeed a siege.

But this allowed Manchester City, which originally had the ball, to have half of the ball.

For Guardiola, who pursues details, this way of handling the ball is simply intolerable.

Guardiola stood on the sidelines and pointed to Kolarov on the wing. There was a very good contact point there. Why did he take the big shot?

Fortunately, Gundogan, who was in the center position, headed the ball to Sterling who came back to meet.

Under the interference of Sturola, Sterling forced a breakthrough along the wing.

That's what Sterling does.

Now in Manchester City's formation, there is only one Sterling with absolute explosive ability on the wing.

There is also Navas on the bench.

De Bruyne, David Silva, and Zhao Yi basically do not have this kind of explosive breakthrough ability on the wing.

What the wing blaster needs is absolute speed, such as Manchester City's later Mahrez, Doku, or Shaker.

People like De Bruyne, Gundogan, and Alvarez, no matter how good their skills are, are still not up to the task.

(Some people will argue that Messi and Ronaldo can play as a winger even though they are not fast. Then these fans don’t know how fast Messi’s short legs can fly, and they have never seen Ronaldo smoking like a hot wheel during the Manchester United period. sprint)

Evra saw that Sturola couldn't guard Sterling, so he could only intercept and make up for it.

At this time Sterling can continue to move forward along the wing, but there is basically no possibility of causing damage.

So before Evra could get closer, he made a lateral transfer.

When Zhao Yi and Alnanez were entangled in the middle, they stopped the ball with one kick, then pushed and half-turned.

With Alnanez completely behind him, the football rolled forward three or four meters, stopped and passed directly, and directly shook Alnanez away.

This move, without any unnecessary movements, also got rid of the defense as quickly as possible.

It requires not only technology, but also a lot of practical experience.

Zhao Yi immediately dribbled the ball forward, and Alnanez quickly chased back.

Sturola also leaned towards Zhao Yi immediately.

The two senior Juventus defenders kept a certain distance from Zhao Yi and kept retreating.

While Zhao Yi was unable to take a shot, it was also impossible for him to directly shoot past anyone.

This is the defensive experience of top defenders.

Blocking the offensive player may threaten the offense.

Aguero kept running and pulling, but the passing routes were blocked.

Zhao Yi did not have a good breakthrough route during his march. He used the instep of his outside foot and directly distributed the ball to De Bruyne.

Then he rushed into the penalty area with Aguero.

De Bruyne was already ready to pass the ball before stopping the ball.

I’ve even thought of passing routes!

So he just stopped the ball for a moment, and before the defender could come over, he hit a curve ball!

Lichtsteiner fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle!

The football still got past his defense!

Under Bonucci's interference, Aguero was unable to exert perfect force and had no shot angle.

He could only force the ball to stop, and he couldn't even complete the turn.

Chiellini's defense against Zhao Yi was also very successful.

In the small space within the penalty area, it is impossible for the two to pass the ball to each other.

Aguero could only stumble and carry the ball out of the penalty area.

A very good attack from Manchester City that did not pose much of a threat.

At this time, all Juventus players had returned and quickly organized the defense.

Manchester City can only regain possession of the ball and wait for opportunities.

Gundogan, Fernandinho, De Bruyne.

After the ball was passed several times, De Bruyne suddenly kicked the ball again.

The football crossed the center of the penalty area and headed to the right.

Zhao Yi and Sterling were there to support him.

However, Chiellini stuck Zhao Yi tightly, made a big jump, and directly pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

This veteran Italian defense backbone is obviously very experienced in judging football routes.

Gundogan followed up with a football to Sterling's feet.

Sterling faces the defense, and it is difficult to initiate a breakthrough with this range.

In the penalty area, Zhao Yi and Chiellini kept fighting for position.

Chiellini has good experience, but his body is really not as good as Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi moved around, but still had space.

Sterling didn't hesitate and stuffed the ball directly.

"Zhao Yi! It's difficult to complete the turn! Chiellini..." Chiellini was behind Zhao Yi. Not only was he stuck in position, but he also made some small movements with his hands, which made Zhao Yi very uncomfortable.

This small movement is not big and will never be called a foul.

But it will make it difficult for Zhao Yi to exert his strength.

It is even more impossible to complete the turn, and naturally unable to shoot.

The best way is to redistribute the ball, otherwise when Evra comes over and the two of them fight around, it will be difficult to catch the ball.

"There should be no chance. Chiellini's defensive ability is really world-class."

Zhao Yi really couldn't get rid of it in the penalty area. He could only push hard with the outside of his right foot and the football quickly rolled towards the front of the penalty area.

There is a place called Zhao Yi area by many people, but this time Zhao Yi is not there.

It was Gundogan who showed up.

Gundogan faced the football and kicked Evra who was rushing to the position!

Football is powerful.

But it didn't get past Bonucci's defense.

Bonucci tightened his arms and the ball hit his arm and bounced directly to the right.

For this kind of ball, the referee will not award a penalty kick.

Zhao Yi quickly rushed out of the penalty area and grabbed the football.

Chiellini also quickly followed up, forcing Zhao Yi so that he would not have a chance to break through even if he got the ball.

The football fell and bounced off the turf.

Zhao Yi turned his head slightly and used his peripheral vision to look at Chiellini's position, blocking his position to make sure he could get the football.

Chiellini did not force an overtake to grab the ball, because there was only one possibility: Zhao Yi turned around and passed him as soon as he got the ball.

Chiellini, who is very experienced in defense, is not far behind Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi doesn't move, he doesn't move.

What he has to do is not to grab the ball, but to guard Zhao Yi.

After the football bounced up and was about to fall, Zhao Yi leaned over.

He didn't stop the ball.

Instead, his left foot touched the ground. Because Chiellini was not defending against him, he had enough space to complete the action.

Chiellini looked at Zhao Yi, whose back was turned to him, and suddenly leaned back.

Lift your right leg forward.

Then his left foot, which was on the ground, also flew into the air.

Chiellini's mind went blank.

For a player like him who is experienced in defense, he never expected that Zhao Yi would do such a thing in this position.

What the hell, this kid just passed the ball with an overhead hook.

If you pass the ball without looking at the person, will the success rate be high?

Zhao Yi exerted force on his waist and abdomen, driving his right leg upwards.

His right foot hit the football.

boom!

The ball streaked past Chiellini in a huge rainbow shape.

Chiellini turned to look at the penalty area. He did not believe that someone from Manchester City could receive this kind of pass in the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Juventus has twice as many defenders as Manchester City's attackers.

Even though the football was far away from the goal, Buffon faced Zhao Yi conscientiously and guarded the near corner.

He watched Zhao Yi's hook pass flying towards the penalty area, and immediately changed direction and ran toward the center of the goal, preparing to jump directly and punch the ball out.

He didn't dare to pick up the ball for fear of making a mistake.

The football flew through the penalty area, and everyone in the penalty area tensed up and prepared to snatch it.

Buffon moved forward and judged, no, it was out of reach.

He immediately ran to the far corner, no...it seemed a bit high.

The ball was passed wide.

"Zhao Yi's overhead pass was very imaginative! But at this distance, the requirements for footwork are indeed too high, and it is difficult for teammates to catch the ball."

"Well...this ball Buffon should..."

The football watched as it headed towards the crossbar, but changed its original route at the high point and spun directly down.

Buffon followed the ball and ran to the far corner. When he saw the ball falling, his heart jumped.

He flew up in a hurry, hit the post with his body, and raised his right hand high, but the football fell from a high point and fell diagonally from the corner of the goal into the net!

Buffon deserves to be a world-class goalkeeper. After making such a major mistake, he immediately lowered his body and fished the ball out from behind the goal line.

Then he pretended nothing happened, rushed out with the football in hand, ready to counterattack!

In the penalty area, Aguero screamed anxiously and jumped as high as he could.

The Juventus players cheered and sprinted forward.

Guardiola on the sidelines didn't know whether the ball was scored or not, but looking at Aguero's appearance, it felt controversial.

He also yelled at the referee and jumped to his feet anxiously.

"Ouch... this ball seems to be passed and shot... the angle is very tricky. If Buffon reacts slower, he might have scored!

If it scores, it will definitely be the most exciting goal in this round of the Champions League or even this season.

It’s definitely a fairy ball! "The Juventus commentator trembled in his heart. Seeing Buffon's actions and the Juventus players' quick counterattack, he confirmed that the ball had not been scored and praised Zhao Yi.

beep! ! ! !

The referee sounded a harsh whistle.

Allegri's heart suddenly went cold.

Everyone looked at the referee.

The referee's raised left hand pointed directly at the center circle.

"Oh my god!!!!

The goal was scored! ! !

Zhao Yi! ! ! 17 meters away from the goal, a direct kick!

The curvature of the football was very strange, and it hit the crossbar and fell into the goal!

What seems like a slow kick is really a throat-sealing sword!

No one would have thought that this distance and this shooting action could lead to a goal!

It was more like a cross!

This is the real Flying Immortal from Heaven!

Definitely the best goal in the Champions League this season! "

Buffon held the football, stood in the penalty area, and kept justifying to the referee.

Did not enter.

Definitely not in!

He pointed at his eyes and I saw them!

Which of us is closer?

I saw it!

Did not enter!

The referee nodded, indeed, you are close.

but……

He pointed at the device in his hand.

It moved, it moved.

No matter how good your eyes are, can they be better than your door-to-door skills?

This is the power of technology, you know?

The goal is valid!

Buffon threw the football in frustration.

Of course he knew the ball had gone in, he was so close.

It’s just that at this time, you have to pretend to be very similar. What if, what if the goal line technology fails?

Isn’t this ball gone?
