Chapter 374 The Zebra Legion has regained its vitality!

The young player Buffon completed another wonderful save. This 40-year-old veteran has won countless trophies in Turin City and the Italian national team for more than ten years!

But the Big Ears Cup, which symbolizes the club's highest glory, is the honorary blank page of young player Buffon.

In the following period, Manchester City, who were two goals ahead, still used their most advanced ball control tactics to find opportunities!

Manchester City almost suppressed Juventus and launched wave after wave of attacks. They attacked for more than ten minutes and shot eight shots, but failed to score a goal.

The Bianconeri's defense against Manchester City was very good.

After more than ten minutes of testing, both sides realized how difficult their opponent was.

Guardiola made adjustments. On the one hand, he signaled De Bruyne, Gundogan and Yaya Toure not to push the defense so far back to give Juventus breathing room.

This is by no means that Guardiola is underestimating the enemy, but because the defense line is pressed too far forward, causing Juventus's entire midfield and backfield to become monolithic, and Manchester City's offense simply lacks space.

Juventus's defense is by no means easily broken. Allegri relied on defensive counterattacks to reach the Champions League finals. Although they lost to the peak MSN, Juventus's defense is always worthy of respect!

Because Manchester City pressed too far forward, not only creating more space for their opponents to counterattack, but also flattening Juventus' defense, which was detrimental to Manchester City's offense.

In addition, Guardiola also made adjustments, allowing Zhao Jinge and Mahrez to switch positions.

Soon, Manchester City created another threatening attack.

After Mahrez got the ball on the left wing, he did not wait for Marquinhos to approach, and forced Chiellini one-on-one. He passed the ball to the back point. Zhao Jinge quickly intervened, jumped high, and once again made a powerful pass. Pressed Bonucci for a header.

As a result, this perfect opportunity hit the crossbar.

Not only did Zhao Jinge feel so regretful, but even the Manchester City fans at the scene were also depressed.

What a great opportunity!

Allegri also reacted quickly and made adjustments quickly.

Juventus had already made plans for Manchester City's strategy, and after adjustments, they stabilized their defense again.

The dual defensive midfielders of Marquinhos and Khedira found it particularly difficult to face Manchester City's midfield pressure.

Guardiola made continuous adjustments and used his midfield advantage to tear Juventus' entire midfield to pieces, but they insisted on holding on to the penalty area.

Allegri, in particular, also reacted quickly and immediately made adjustments to pull the team back and keep the three lines compact.

As a result, Juventus lost the threat of counterattack, but the defense was stable.

It is obvious that Allegri's strategy is to keep the goal and then wait for opportunities to counterattack.

Manchester City's midfield pressure continued. Under Guardiola's on-the-spot command, in the subsequent games, Manchester City began to take real action against Juventus's two midfielders.

De Bruyne and Zhao Jinge began to cut off the connection between the opponent's midfielder and the backcourt through their positions. Among them, Zhao Jinge, who was energetic and physically fit, also shouldered the responsibility of pressing Juventus' two central defenders.

Guardiola puts all the offensive pressure and part of the defensive pressure on Zhao Jinge. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. When the situation on the court is chaotic, Zhao Jinge is Manchester City's most powerful pillar.

When the King of Manchester City presses forward to press the Bianconeri's defenders, Gundogan will follow up in time, taking over Zhao Jinge's position and continuing to target the opponent's midfielder.

Through this strategy, Manchester City successfully blocked Juventus' midfield organization for a while, forcing Juventus' backcourt players to take big shots.

Facing Manchester City's high pressure, in the 23rd minute of the game, Bonucci stepped forward to receive the ball and passed the ball directly. Pjanic, who retreated to receive the ball, stopped the ball forward with his chest and passed it directly to Mandzukic.

Before Mandzukic had a good shot at the ball, Douglas Costa and Aguero were already attacking Manchester City's two central defenders one after another, leaving the space behind them to move forward, looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Unfortunately, Alves, who received the ball from the wide side, was a little slower. By the time he stopped the ball and adjusted his pass forward, the more prominent Aguero was already offside.

After a failed attack, the Bianconeri immediately shrank back into their own half, waiting for the next opportunity to counterattack.

Although the counterattack just now posed a threat, at this time, the choice and response awareness of Juventus's two midfielders are very important. Without the connection in the midfield, long passes from the backcourt alone are needed to successfully win. It is undoubtedly very difficult to penetrate Manchester City's defense.

Allegri on the sidelines saw this and was anxious in his heart, but now he can only pray on the sidelines. The experienced Marchisio and Khedira can live up to his trust and cleverly solve the current situation. situation.

The game reached the 30th minute. During the previous pressure, Manchester City forced the Juventus midfielder to pass the football back to the teenager Buffon.

Seeing this situation, Mane immediately used a curved cannon to put pressure on the young player Buffon who was about to play the ball. This type of running pressure is the most common and effective.

Because while applying pressure, he can effectively cut off Buffon's passing routes to his center and left wing.

From a God's perspective, we can see that when Mane presses forward, although Alex Sandro and Bonucci are in the gap, it is almost impossible for the young player Buffon to contact them.

At this time, Manchester City's other two frontcourt players, Zhao Jinge, personally restricted Juventus's left midfielder Marchisio, while Mahrez moved to the right side of Juventus' penalty area in advance. He was already ready to move towards Juventus. Preparation for the pressing of Chisteiner and Chiellini.

But as Mahrez moved forward, the line he closed was also opened in advance. One second later, Juventus's other midfielder Khedira returned to his own back line in a sprinting posture. Get ready to receive the ball from your own goalkeeper. Seeing this scene in front of him, Allegri clapped his hands excitedly on the sidelines. This is the so-called response awareness of the midfielder that he has always wanted to see. Understanding what his teammates need at the moment and reacting to it is almost It is a required course for top defensive midfielders!

Khedira's appearance opened up the passing channel that was originally closed. In this forward pressure, Manchester City's pressure did not go as expected. The moment Buffon pretended to pass the ball to Khedira, he suddenly Turn around and kick a small lob, trying to pass the ball to Bonucci on the left side of the center.

At this time, Zhao Jinge decisively gave up Marchisio behind him and stepped forward to press Bonucci who wanted to catch the ball.

Previously, Mane, who ran forward in an arc, immediately withdrew to the midfield to keep an eye on Marchisio for Zhao Jinge.

Since the gap on the left was very large, Bonucci did not rush to play the ball after receiving the ball, and Zhao Jinge did not choose to press to the end, but chose to return to his position.

Then, while the two Blue Moon frontcourt players went back to their respective homes, Bonucci also took this opportunity in the lower left corner of his penalty area to fully observe the situation on the court.

He saw center Aguero, who had moved to the wing and was replaced by Douglas Costa, so he decisively found the latter.

After Aguero stopped the ball, Juventus midfielder Marchisio, who was close to this side, moved decisively. He boldly chose to pass forward. This move not only provided teammates with a contact point, but also opened up Juventus Tooth transfers the football channel.

Under the pressure of Zhao Jinge, Marchisio passed the ball to Khedira who came to support. The German midfielder did not forget to observe the situation on the court in advance before receiving the ball and noticed Mahrez behind him. The polo king was on his way to intercept him at high speed.

The two people collided fiercely five meters in front of the top of the Juventus penalty area. Under Mahrez's powerful high-speed collision, although the German midfielder fell to the ground, he also moved the football before falling to the ground. He went out and gave it to Chiellini who moved from behind.

Through the movement of the two defensive midfielders, Juventus successfully completed the transfer of offensive direction in the midfield and backcourt. After getting up from the ground, Khedira did not stay where he was. At this moment, his mind was extremely clear, and he had already thought of Find out what your current teammates need most at this moment!

At this time, in the area on the right side of Manchester City's half, the defensive players of Juventus and Manchester City were in a three-on-three even match. At this time, Khedira moved over without hesitation and was able to immediately create additional support. points to help teammates on the wing break the opponent's pressure.

It was the addition of Khedira that gave Alves, who was dribbling the ball on the wing, a chance to move around amidst Manchester City's high-pressure pressure.

In the double-team of three people, he knocked the football to Khedira who came to respond. At this time, Cancelo, as Manchester City's left back, chose the latter between pressing forward and defending backward.

If he had played more aggressively, it was entirely possible for him to interrupt Juventus's counterattack, but he did not step forward to defend Douglas Costa. After receiving Khedira's pass, Gou Sheng immediately The ball was smoothly passed to the wing at the right start.

At this time, Alves, who came in from behind, after receiving a pass from Douglas Costa, formed a one-on-one situation with Cancelo on the wing.

In the defense in the middle, Manchester City, who retreated faster, actually had a numerical advantage. Yaya Toure also observed his old teammate Aguero who came forward while retreating.

But in today's game, Alves, who is always strong and strong, really displayed his personal ability even better!

He pretended to cut inside and immediately aroused the Portuguese full-back's desire to tackle. After Cancelo made the first move to tackle, he immediately made a light turn and successfully broke through Cancelo's defense. Successfully It was inserted near the bottom line of Manchester City's penalty area.

Alves's successful breakthrough forced Yaya Toure to move to the sideline to cover up the gap left by Cancelo's careless grab.

After completely disrupting the defensive focus of Manchester City's backline, Alves found Aguero with a soul-piercing inverted triangle pass. This is the charm of the explosive spot on the wing!

Facing the pass from the Brazilian full-back, Aguero did not choose to shoot directly with his right foot. Instead, he turned to the right and completed a powerful volley with his left foot!

This change of action gave him a wider shooting angle. Joe Hart's response to the save was already very fast, but the football that Aguero pulled out passed his outstretched palm at an even more surging speed!

When the football flew towards the far corner of the Manchester City goal, Kyle Walker, who made a quick return to the defense with great strength, almost threw himself out from the far corner of the goal, trying to use his body to destroy Manchester City. Guero's shot line!

But it was too late, and I could only watch the football cross the line!

"Aguero cleverly adjusted in front of the goal and hit the goal!"

"GOAL!!!!!!"

"What did we see?! Another goal! Unbelievable, Juventus scored against Manchester City again at the Etihad Stadium!"

"The time has just reached the 33rd minute of the game. Amidst Juventus's successive counterattacks, Manchester City, which originally had a three-goal advantage, fell into huge trouble at this time. With their former king Ah With Guero’s goal, the Blue Moon Legion’s lead is only one goal!”

"Who could have imagined that Juventus could put in such a perfect performance at the Etihad Stadium, with the score reaching 2 to 3. Counting injury time, the Bianconeri still had at least an hour to perform the final performance. The miracle!

There is one goal left. As long as one more goal is scored, the Bianconeri can drag the game into the final overtime. If they can score two more goals, then they can not only overtake the score, but also win the away game. Goal advantage!

Manchester City's promotion form has taken a turn for the worse. Can Juventus really stage a reversal at the Etihad Stadium like the one between Liverpool and AC Milan? !

This is something very worth looking forward to! "

"Juventus fans, are you excited?! A miracle is happening, and the players on the field need your cheers!

I really couldn't believe my eyes. Juventus did it. They showed extraordinary courage at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City's defense collapsed in front of their attack. Manchester City, the Premier League hegemon, was losing ground at their home court. !

Maybe today we can really witness a miracle, a miracle brought by Italian football!

Look at Juventus now, maybe we can really advance to the semi-finals! "

The Italian commentator at the scene was completely excited. Whether it was at the Etihad Stadium or in faraway Turin, Italy, countless Juventus fans crushed all kinds of cans in their hands and let it go. All kinds of drinks and drinks are flowing in the palm of my hand, and I can't contain my inner excitement at all!
