Chapter 562: Tacit ball

Gao Zheng's goal awakened Juventus' first dream of the group.
Even if Juventus score another goal, it will not be able to the group first from Atletico Madrid. And Gao Zheng clearly warned Juventus-if you continue to attack like this, I can score again.
So despite all reluctance, Allegri adjusted his tactics and slowed the pace of Juventus' offense-they did not show the attitude of "I don't believe, you can attack if you have the ability" because they are very clear Gao Zheng's ability.
As Gao Zheng said before the game, he is very familiar with this field and this opponent. Conversely, Juventus must also be familiar with Gao Zheng, knowing what Gao Zheng is good at and what he can do.
If they continue to play at the previous rhythm, Gao Zheng is absolutely capable of scoring them again.
If you lose, then it is really impossible to qualify for the group.
In this case, it doesn't matter what group is first.
It is still the most important for the group to qualify.
After Juventus slowed down, it has already tied the score, and it is naturally unnecessary to consolidate the first team in Atlético Madrid. It is not necessary to desperately compete with Juventus. The mentality of the players in this game is indeed different from the last time the two sides played.
Simone did not urge the players to continue to attack the Juventus defense.
After Gao Zheng scored, the game that was still boiling suddenly seemed to be splashed with cold water.
After rising his eyes and making a huge noise, he became calm.
There is no Juventus counterattack, nor Atletico Madrid's victory chase.
The 1:1 score will allow the two teams to qualify together. Atletico Madrid can also get the first place in the group. They don’t have to use more goals to force Juventus to fight with them. The team lost first.
And Juventus does not have to use a victory to ensure that they qualify, because they may die in the pursuit of victory before they get the victory.
In this way, the two sides of the game formed a very delicate balance.
As the game time passed, the two sides played more and more conservatively, and the ball was more often passed by the foot. Even if occasionally attacked, the threat is far less than before.
In stark contrast to them is another group match, Olympiacos is inseparable at home and Malmo, lively.
Olympiacos took the lead in the 22nd minute. But at fifty-nine minutes in the second half, Malmo equalized.
Soon Olympiacos once again overtake the score.
They are expecting Atletico Madrid to beat Juventus away, so that they can qualify for the group.
However, when the game of Atletico Madrid and Juventus came to live here, a huge booing sounded from the stands.
Atletico Madrid and Juventus obviously do not want to die for Olympiacos...
※※※
With ten minutes left in the game, the two sides fell down in a tacit understanding and spent the game time.
For neutral fans, this is certainly ugly. However, from the perspective of the two teams, it is not wrong for them to do so-they really cannot commit to die here for the benefit of a third party, and if there are players who have suffered injuries, the third party can benefit them. ?
The referee also saw that the two teams were unwilling to fight, so he didn't wait for the injury stoppage time to end and blew the final whistle.
Until the end of this game, the two teams did not change people once, which shows that after Gao Zheng scored, the two teams' desire to win has deteriorated to what extent.
You have to know that since the 1992 Champions League restructuring, before them, only two games have seen such a situation where no one changes...
In the end, with this victory, Juventus overwhelmed Olympiacos with a one-point advantage, won the group qualifying rights, and was able to participate in the knockout stage.
Although Olympiacos defeated Malmo 4:2 at home, they still missed the Champions League knockout and could only be ranked third in the group to participate in the UEFA Cup in the second half of the season.
Atletico Madrid topped the group with 13 points.
After the game, Allegri was satisfied with the result of the game at the press conference: "...The important thing is that the group is qualifying. I am very happy that we can continue to participate in the Champions League this season. The situation last season did not repeat itself..."
A reporter asked him if he changed his tactics because of Gao Zheng's goal, mainly with stability.
He shook his head and denied: "Of course not. The high goal really made us aware of the danger. But we didn't change the style of play because of him. In fact, we made corresponding adjustments in the locker room during the halftime break. Be conservative. Because we know that even if we lost the ball in the second half, a draw is enough for us to get the group qualifying right."
Of course he wouldn't tell the truth. Wasn't that hit his face?
He didn't need to increase his prestige at the expense of his reputation.
The reporters did not demand that Juventus played too conservatively in the end. For Italian journalists, Juventus' successful promotion to the knockout is already a victory for Italian football. After all, Juventus last season was in the group stage. Was eliminated.
This season's ability to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League is a huge improvement, making everything possible in the future.
As for Atletico Madrid, they won the group qualifying rights and also ensured the group's first status. There is nothing to say. This is a very satisfactory result.

Atletico Madrid returned to the country and then ushered in the league with Villarreal.
This game has attracted great attention from the Chinese media. It is also because after finishing this game, Gao Zheng will return to China to train with the team to prepare for the Asian Cup.
Everyone's concern is not that they want to see Gao Zheng score, they are not very interested in this. They are concerned that Gao Zheng is injured, it is not important to score in the last league game, as long as he is safe and healthy, he can return.
They didn't want to see Gao Zheng injured in this game, so he directly missed the dog blood plot like the Asian Cup.
Perhaps even Spain’s Atletico Madrid fans have little hope for the outcome of this game.
The team has just finished the Champions League, and there is no substitution, the physical strength of the main lineup will certainly not be too good.
Plus Gao Zheng is about to go back, I am afraid that his mind is not in the league.
So what the outcome of this game will be, you can think of it with your knees.
"As" newspaper is already for the Atletico Madrid fans to popularize the knowledge of the Asian Cup, telling those Atletico Madrid fans who usually do not pay attention to Asian football at all. Like the African Cup, it is held every winter and is the highest level in Asia.
This Asian Cup is held in Australia. As for why Australia, which is clearly an Oceania country, can host the Asian Cup and even participate in the Asian Cup? "As" newspaper explained that this is because Australia has joined the AFC long ago, and participating in the World Cup qualifier is also a qualifier in the Asian region, so it is eligible to participate in and hold the Asian Cup.
This popular science can be regarded as answering some doubts of Atletico Madrid fans.
