Chapter 104 Ruby promotion card, direct free kick
In the locker room of the home team on the other side, after Pirlo told everyone about the tactical arrangements for the second half with a normal face, he left the locker room without looking back.
Because of all the players in the dressing room, basically no one is listening to him, especially Ronaldo, who is casually adjusting the position of the bandage on his leg without raising his head.
The other players were also whispering, no one was listening to what Pirlo said.
In the last round of the league, Juventus actually lost to their rivals in the same city, Torino. This made the club chairman Agnelli furious.
This conflict completely made Pirlo lose the last bit of dignity in front of the players, and it also made his Juventus coaching career enter the countdown.
It is said that before this game, the Juventus club had already contacted "Uncle Ji" Allegri.
Allegri was the head coach of Juventus before Pirlo. However, when Allegri left, he once told Agnelli that if you want Juventus to be good, get rid of Ronaldo as soon as possible, because he believes that the existence of Ronaldo has seriously hindered the development of the team and the club!
At the beginning, Allegri resigned because of the tense relationship with Ronaldo, but Agnelli Jr. stood on Ronaldo's side.
If Allegri returns to Juventus again, it may mean that Agnelli is ready to give up Ronaldo.
It is estimated that Agnelli is hesitating now.
Ronaldo's performance today may bring great resistance to Allegri's entry into Juventus again.
Intermission was over soon.
Players from both sides returned to the field.
The Juventus fans who took a break once again sang and danced.
The referee blew the whistle for the second half of the game.
In the second half, Barcelona kicked off first.
Griesmann kicked the ball to Li Mingyu behind him, and ran towards the Juventus half.
After receiving the ball, Li Mingyu keenly felt that Juventus's defense had a big problem.
During the intermission, the Juventus players paid no attention to the coach's lectures, and did not discuss the tactics of the second half in the locker room, but let themselves go, some people were listening to music, some people were chatting loudly, and only Ronaldo was focusing on himself.
As a result, at the beginning of the second half, the Juventus players did not enter the state at all, as if they were in a mess.
Li Mingyu grasped this opportunity very clearly. After receiving the pass, he dexterously moved the ball past Ronaldo who was charging up aggressively. Then he immediately picked up his speed and ran towards Juventus' half court like a bolt of lightning.
Li Mingyu's sudden acceleration caught Juventus by surprise. Many players stood where they were, and when they wanted to defend Li Mingyu, Li Mingyu passed them one by one.
After passing three people in a row, Li Mingyu was within 30 meters of the opponent.
Finally, two defensive players rushed towards Li Mingyu at the same time, one blocked Li Mingyu's advance in front, and the other stood behind to protect him.
Li Mingyu stumbled past this man with a deep-fried ball, and was knocked to the ground by the defender when he faced the rushing defender.
The referee had already put his whistle in his mouth, and was about to blow the whistle. When a foul was called, his eyes lit up, and he made an offensive gesture to signal the game to continue.
I don't know whether Li Mingyu was intentional or unintentional. When he fell, he gently kicked the football with his left foot from between the defender's legs. Although the speed was not fast, the crotch-piercing ball actually came to the feet of Griessmann who had already run into the penalty area.
Since almost all Juventus players focused on Li Mingyu, they didn't care about Griezmann at all.
One-handed ball.
When Griesmann received the ball, although he was a little surprised, as a top shooter, he was very calm at this time. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he pushed the ball and sent the football into the Juventus gate.
Less than a minute after the start of the second half, Barcelona overtook the score again, 1:2, leading Juventus away.
After Griessmann scored a goal, he raised his arms excitedly and roared, ran all the way to Li Mingyu, hugged Li Mingyu, picked him up, and turned around.
This goal is too important for Griesmann.
In the first half, he failed to grasp two consecutive one-handed goals, which had already had a considerable impact on his heart. He was also afraid that Li Mingyu would never pass it to him if he had a good chance.
As a result, at the beginning of the second half, he received such a beautiful pass from Li Mingyu and scored a goal for the overtake.
Koeman on the sidelines didn't even react, his team had already scored a goal, and the sudden happiness made Koeman's face smile into a brilliant chrysanthemum.
On the Juventus bench, Pirlo's eyes were empty, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
On the field, Ronaldo roared with displeasure on his face. He was very dissatisfied with the conceded goal.
I worked so hard to score goals in front, and you conceded the ball so easily in the back, what a pig teammate!
Many of the Juventus players didn't know what happened, and they conceded the ball just after the start. This situation had a great blow to morale.
Juventus' captain and defender Chiellini also roared loudly, hoping that everyone can cheer up.
The roar of Chiellini and Ronaldo made the Juventus players regain their sense of the game.
After the re-kick-off, Juventus's offense was still impressive.
However, Barcelona, which had overtaken the score, quickly recovered its formation, forcing Juventus' overall formation to press forward.
Every time Ronaldo takes the ball in the frontcourt, it will attract two or three Barcelona players to encircle and suppress him. As a result, Ronaldo can't attack at all and can only pass the ball out again.
Juventus' midfield pass control ability is still a bit worse than Barcelona's, and there is basically no deadly forward pass. Therefore, even if they press into the frontcourt, they can only rely on the ball from both sides. Hope to use Ronaldo and Morata's headers to open the situation.
Today's Morata's state can only be said to be average. He hardly got any good chances in the first half.
In the No. 60 minute of the second half, Pirlo saw that the situation on the field was really ugly. Morata had almost no chance to touch the ball on the field, so he directly chose to take him down and replaced him with No. 10 Argentine player Dybala, hoping to rely on Dybala's sense of smell in front of the penalty area to find opportunities.
When Morata was replaced, his face was ashen. He knew the reason for his poor performance today, basically because Ronaldo occupied too much possession of the ball, and he couldn't touch the ball at all. How did he behave!
Morata went to the sidelines and gave Dybala a high-five, and then walked past Pirlo. The two did not make any eye contact, just like strangers.
Morata was not very convinced of Pirlo. No matter how much honor you had when you were a player, as a head coach, you are not qualified.
Pirlo will not take him even more seriously. He knows that even if he wins this game, he probably won't stay in Juventus for a long time, and he has to think about the way forward.
Dybala's appearance did pose some threats to Barcelona's defense.
Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot caused Ter Stegen to drop the ball. Dybala rushed into the penalty area like a ghost, and kicked the football with his foot before Eric Garcia.
But Ter Stegen's second reaction was very quick, bouncing off the ground, and holding the ball out of the crossbar with his right hand.
The Juventus fans in the audience let out deafening sighs, and then there was a wave of applause, which was given to Dybala who had just played.
Dybala is also very regretful. He put his head in his hands and couldn't believe that Ter Stegen could throw the ball. This reaction is too fast!
Ronaldo also paused outside, expressing his regret. He didn't know whether he regretted that his shot did not score, or whether he regretted that Dybala's supplementary shot was blocked.
Juventus's corner kick was taken, and Ter Stegen hit the ball to get it.
Juventus quickly returned to defense, so that Barcelona's counterattack could not be played.
Barcelona had to start their own attack from the backcourt.
Ter Stegen threw the ball to Pique, Pique passed the ball to De Jong, and De Jong took the ball forward.
Barcelona is like a monkey, passing the ball back and forth, and Ronaldo is like a tragic fighter, running around.
The voices of the fans at the scene slowly stopped, and then there were shocking boos.
Barcelona's defense finally passed the ball to the other side, Ronaldo also stopped his footsteps, turned his head and looked, almost crooked his nose in anger.
In the entire Barcelona half, I was the only one chasing the football like a fool, while the other Juventus players stood in their own half, watching with cold eyes.
Fuck, what kind of goddamn team is this?
Can't take it!
Ronaldo finally had the urge to leave Juventus in his heart.
If you stay here, you will definitely lose your life at the end of the festival.
Accompanied by boos all over the court, Barcelona's offense proceeded unhurriedly.
When the ball came to Li Mingyu's feet, Li Mingyu was like a conductor, controlling the rhythm of the game. When passing the ball, he would remind his players of the speed of the rhythm.
Soon, Juventus fell into Barcelona's offensive rhythm, running with the football ineffectively.
In the 708th minute of the second half, Li Mingyu suddenly increased his speed, which made the Juventus players, who had been sluggish, not keep up with the rhythm.
With a concealed through ball, Li Mingyu passed the ball to the left. After receiving the pass, Braithwaite, who played well in this game, directly cut inside, and then volleyed with his right foot, which hit Cuadrado.
But Braithwaite raised his hand excitedly, signaling the opponent to handball.
The referee was not far away, but due to the angle, he did not see whether he touched Cuadrado's hand.
But the referee soon blew the whistle to stop the game.
He's using the headset and the video assistant referee to determine something.
At this time, the Juventus players were very excited and rushed to the referee, complaining that the ball was hit on the chest, not a handball.
Especially Cuadrado, because he already carried a Topaz God of War card in the first half. If the ball was judged as a handball foul, he would have prevented the opponent from shooting.
One goal behind and one person will be sent off. For Juventus, that would be a disaster.
The referee frowned, stretched out his hands, first separated the Juventus players, and then made a gesture to watch the video playback.
Seeing the referee running to the sidelines, the players on both sides were nervous.
This ball is really critical.
If handball is judged, then basically, Juventus is out of play.
But if handball is not judged, Barcelona will not agree.
After carefully watching the slow-motion playback from several angles, the referee determined that it was the nature of the ball.
The referee put down the earphones and made the final penalty.
Handball by Cuadrado.
A topaz Ares card, two yellows turned into one red, Cuadrado was sent off.
Barcelona wins a free kick in front of the box.
Fortunately, Cuadrado stood outside the penalty area when he was handballing, otherwise, this would be the death penalty of a penalty.
Seeing Li Mingyu standing in front of the football for the third time, Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny felt his scalp tingle.
However, although this position is closer to the goal, for free kick masters, the threat of shooting is greatly reduced.
Because after the football crosses the wall, there is basically no time for it to fall quickly. Therefore, most of the free kicks in this position result in being higher than the crossbar.
Generally speaking, the best distance for a free kick is in front of the penalty area, between 25 meters and 30 meters. The distance is not far or close, which is very suitable for any kind of free kick master.
Szczesny shouted loudly and arranged his own human wall, Ronaldo once again stood on the far side of the near post.
Scoring the goal with two free kicks has already made Ronaldo look at Li Mingyu with admiration. Ronaldo also said that such a young free kick master is very rare.
