Chapter 722: The Champions League semi-finals are beckoning!

The 722nd chapter of the Champions League semi-final is beckoning!
A big win!
Let Manchester City stabilize up and down.
The fans are also relieved. After Gao Bo returns, the team's victory is still guaranteed!
But Manchester United and Chelsea also won in this round.
Therefore, the situation in the league has not shown any changes in favor of Manchester City.
What's worse for Manchester City now is that neither Manchester United nor Chelsea have to participate in the Champions League!
They just need to concentrate on the league, especially Manchester United!
Manchester City will first go to Turin to fight Juventus, and after returning, they will have a Manchester derby with Manchester United that will determine the course of the league championship!
Continuous tough battles, I don't know if Manchester City has the thickness of this bench.
Perhaps the only good news is that Kaka is back!
.........
After Manchester City won the game, they are about to leave for Italy.
In England, the media have also begun to pay attention to Manchester City's Champions League journey.
This season, Manchester City reached the Champions League knockouts for the first time, and then successfully entered the quarterfinals.
Juventus is undoubtedly a strong opponent. Juventus is now the leader of Serie A, and their lead is more than Manchester City.
Serie A has played thirty rounds, Juventus has 21 wins, five draws and four losses, with 68 points.
Although their scoring efficiency is not as good as the top three teams in the Premier League, look at the team behind them, Naples.
Naples are now second in Serie A, they only scored 58 points, a full ten points behind Juventus!
And before the start of this UEFA Champions League game, Juventus also won a key victory!
In the 30th round of Serie A, Juventus challenged Inter Milan away!
This is a war between two absolute deadly enemies, this is the national derby of Italy.
In the end, Juventus relied on the goals from Matri and Cagliarella to beat Inter Milan two by one! Winning the victory of the Italian national derby, Juventus at this time is in a period of vigor.
...
Manchester City came to Turin two days before the game!
When walking out of the airport, as soon as Manchester City's players appeared, reporters flooded in.
However, the players ignored the long guns and short cannons extended by the reporters. They walked into the bus and headed to the hotel without expression.
That night, such a scene appeared on Italian television.
"Whether it is the Manchester City players or the coaches, their expressions are very solemn. Although Manchester City had a big victory in the last league game, they had just suffered a defeat not long ago. Manchester City lost 1-2 away. Everton, it’s worth mentioning that this was the defeat of Manchester City’s first league match!!"
In the picture of Turin TV, with the picture of Manchester City players walking out of the airport, the host said so.
At the same time, Juventus coach Conte also came to participate in the show.
Opposite the host of a beautiful blond woman who was convex and curled, Conte looked very relaxed.
"Man City is undoubtedly a strong team. The game against Manchester City is not an easy game."
Conte tilted his legs and said.
"How is their strength compared to Inter Milan?"
"They are not comparable to Inter Milan..."
Conte paused.
"Inter Milan...much weaker than them!"
Allegri's words made everyone on the scene laugh.
This is Turin TV. The presenters and guests of this show are naturally Juventus fans.
Before the war, Juventus did not forget to step on Inter Milan.
.......
On the afternoon of arriving in Turin, Gao Bo took the team to the training base of the Turin club.
This is Juventus’s rival in the same city and provides convenience for Juventus’s opponents. Turin is naturally happy.
The training in the afternoon was mainly about physical recovery, and the team did not arrange a large amount of training content.
During the open media training 15 minutes before the training, Gao Bo was interviewed by the media.
"Juventus is a strong team, we need to take it seriously!"
"Experience? We don’t lack experience! My players are professional players with very stable mentality. We have Golden Globe winners like Kaka, and we have more players with Champions League experience."
Gao Bo said in front of reporters.
Before leaving for Turin, there was such a concern in the English media.
That is the problem of Manchester City's Champions League experience.
In the league, Manchester City is one of the strongest teams in the Premier League, but, after all, this is their first quarter-finals in the Champions League-all this is new to Manchester City.
Therefore, the English media believes that Manchester City may encounter a tough game away.
.......
However, in Turin, the pro-Juventus media have revisited the past.
In the Europa League that year, Luton led by Gao Bo eliminated Juventus and won the championship all the way!
Juventus fans have a deep memory of those two games!
Especially in the second round of the two sides, Luton beat Juventus four to one!
The dignified Serie A giants actually lost so terribly when facing a third-level team.
This is certainly regarded as a shame by Juventus.
Although it was not Luton who visited Turin this time, their head coach was the same person!
"At that time, Gao Bo led Luton to eliminate Juventus, and now he leads Manchester City back to Turin. I think this is Juventus' chance for revenge!!!"
"Torino Sport" published Juventus' fighting declaration.
Many Juventus fans also have this idea.
The disastrous defeat to the third-level team has always made Juventus fans worry about it.
...
"That game impressed me, but I don't think this game is a game of revenge. This is just an ordinary Champions League game."
At the press conference before the game, Conte was also asked about revenge.
Conte had no idea of ​​"revenge".
In Conte’s view, Juventus and Manchester City are innocent, and it was Luton who defeated Juventus. Conte was not the coach at the time, and Juventus’s players have now changed. Up.
It doesn't make any sense to mention the old things now.
"I want the team to win, we want to reach the semi-finals, even the final!"
And Buffon, who followed Conte's successful press conference, said with a look of longing.
In the 2003 Champions League final, Buffon and Juventus lost to AC Milan in a penalty shoot-out in the final!
This is one of the permanent regrets of Buffon's career.
And this season's Juventus, in the league and the Champions League performance is not bad, Buffon of course also hope that his team can reach the Champions League final again.
...
Manchester City and Juventus have no record of fighting each other in history. Therefore, despite the media trying to find all kinds of gimmicks, the coaches and players of both sides appear to be very low-key.
In this atmosphere, the time of the game is getting closer.
April 3rd, Turin, Juventus Stadium!
The Apennine Peninsula in the Mediterranean Sea is still a pleasant weather. The breeze is blowing. Although the sky is already dark, you can still see the dull blue sky in the gloomy night and floating from the sky. A few white clouds in the country complemented the lights of Juventus scene.
In this stadium, which can accommodate 41,000 people, there are already full seats!
The 2012-2013 season, the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Juventus vs. Manchester City at home, is about to begin!
In the lively hustle and bustle of the scene, the two head coaches walked out of the player channel almost at the same time.
Conte waved to the stands while walking.
The Juventus coach, after taking over Juventus, quickly pulled the team out of the trough. Last season, Juventus finally won the Serie A championship after nine years. After that, Juventus finally walked out of the shadow of the phone door and once again reached the top of Serie A!
And this season, Conte's team has passed through the Champions League and reached the quarterfinals. Naturally, Juventus fans will naturally have more expectations for the team's prospects in the Champions League!
Beat Manchester City and reach the semifinals!
Juventus fans are looking forward to it.
Gao Bo was expressionless, he walked to his coaching bench, then sat down, and turned his head to discuss with his assistants.
Although Kobo had previously played against Juventus, this is the first time he has come to this stadium-this is a new stadium opened in 2011.
After Juventus opened the new stadium, they seemed to have changed their luck. In Gao Bo's memory-of course another runaway memory, after Juventus opened the new stadium, they opened the starting point for dominating Serie A. From 2011 to 2018, for seven consecutive years, Juventus have won seven consecutive Serie A!
Of course, I don’t know if Gao Bo’s butterfly effect will have any impact on Juventus’s Serie A dominance. In Gao Bo’s view, this effect seems to be limited. After all, Juventus’s advantage in the league every year is still quite large.
However, Gao Bo also knows that Juventus is very strong in Serie A, but under Conte, Juventus's Champions League match is not so strong-this is one of the reasons why Conte finally dropped from Juventus.
"We guessed right before the game, Juventus has not changed, it is still the 352 formation, and the main force is exhausted." Moya said.
"It seems our opponent is very confident!" Gao Bo nodded.
"Of course, this is their home court."
..........
Just when Gao Bo and Moya were talking.
Conte sat down on the coach's bench.
Conte now can be said to be smug.
Conte’s coaching philosophy can also be said to be extended from the Sacchi master: more emphasis is on one’s organizational discipline and the player’s ability to execute the coach’s tactical arrangements.
This is very similar to Gao Bo a few years ago. The current Gaobo has more flexibility on this basis.
Gao Bo believes that football is a human sport after all, and humans are not machines. So he began to emphasize flexibility, began to have more protection and encouragement for the personal performance of offensive players, he even began to allow players to act according to their own judgment, no longer overemphasized organizational discipline overwhelming.
Of course, organizational discipline is of course required.
But Gao Bo prefers to use this on defense. On the offensive end, in addition to tactics, sometimes the player's inspiration can also create unexpected effects.
...
In this game, Conte basically sacrificed Juventus's best lineup at present.
The goalkeeper is of course the goalkeeper Buffon. On the back line, there are three central defenders, Barzali, Bonucci, Chiellini, and then five midfielders, with Vidal, Pirlo and Marchi in the middle. Theo, the wing guards on both sides are Lichsteiner and Peruso!
Vidal and Marchisio protect the back line, while providing protection for the team's core midfielder Pirlo. In the front field, it is a combination of Cagliarella and Matri's two forwards.
On the Manchester City side, Gao Bo also sent the best lineup in Manchester City's recent state.
Goalkeeper Oblak. On the back line, the center-back combination is Kompany’s partner Maguire, right back Tripier, left back Kolarov, two defensive midfielders are Casemiro’s partner Fernandinho, front midfielder Kaka , David Silva on the left, Griezmann on the right, and Hazard as the forward!
"This game is the main force on both sides! Juventus at home may continue their usual tactical thinking, in the case of a stable defense, look for opportunities to attack!"
"Maybe the game scene will be relatively plain. Juventus's calm and old defense is their biggest asset. They are the team with the fewest conceded goals in Serie A. After 30 league rounds, Juventus only lost ten. With three goals, it is the only team in Serie A that has conceded less than 20 goals!! And Manchester City’s offensive group is luxurious, David Silva, Kaka, Griezmann, Hazard Such an offensive combination is very sharp. It can be said that this is a contradiction!"
When the players from both sides entered the field, the commentators expressed their opinions.
Their opinions are of course well-founded. Most of the time, you can say that Juventus football is conservative and not passionate.
They are always too cautious, or how could they have the title of old woman.
But their set can guarantee victory.
With this set of tactics, Conte won the league championship last season, and Conte himself is also the coach who admires such a prudent tactic.
Therefore, before the game has started, people generally predict that no matter what the final result of the game is, there will not be too many goals in the game.
As the name suggests, the Juventus team is an "old lady" who is accustomed to wind and rain, cautious, calm and capable.
What they are best at is to kill opponents in a slow rhythm.
........
At the beginning of the game, Manchester City kicked off first.
For this characteristic of Juventus, Gao Bo is naturally very clear.
Kaka is of course very clear.
Although Juventus’s mortal enemy is Inter Milan, the relationship between AC Milan and Juventus is not very good.
Kaka was booed by Juventus when he entered the stadium.
Now as soon as he gets the ball, the boo is even louder!
For the characteristics of Kaka, Juventus's players obviously also know very well, so when he took the ball, Juventus's formation began to shrink.
Juventus appears to be very cautious.
But Kaka passed the ball to Fernandinho, and then ran a few steps forward. After attracting Vidal's attention, he suddenly retreated a few steps and asked for the ball.
Fernandinho passed the ball again.
Vidal originally planned to stick to Kaka, but at this time David Silva moved laterally while reaching for the ball.
Vidal changed his attention and stared at David Silva.
Sure enough, Kaka also made a pass.
Pirlo is a master midfielder, but when it comes to defense, he is actually not very good at it.
This Italian boy who seems to have not been awake on the court does not bother to do the dirty work of defense.
He can reach out his foot and interfere with Kaka even if he has completed the task.
But Kaka did not intend to pass the ball this time, he also saw Vidal's action.
He buckled his right foot and passed Pirlo.
At this time Juventus's defense is still very complete, Kaka did not see a suitable pass line.
He looked at the goal, and it was still quite far away, but Kaka decided to take a long shot.
Anyway, the game has just begun, so it's good to try the long-range shot first.
Before the game, Gao Bo let the players shoot more long shots.
He knows the characteristics of Juventus. For such a team, it is still very difficult to tear open their defenses through constant passing. Gao Bo simply made the team play simple.
"Exceeding people, shooting long distances, making set balls!"
Gao Bo's emphasis before the game is still in his ears.
So Kaka immediately opened his bow and set arrows!
"Kaka shoots... it's a little far away..."
The narrator just said, Kaka's right foot burst, and the football flew to the goal like a cannonball! !
Buffon was already prepared, he saw Kaka's intention to shoot.
Despite the speed of the ball, it is impossible for such a shot to penetrate Buffon's goal.
Juventus fans, including the Juventus coaches on the sidelines, didn't think the ball was dangerous.
However, what surprised everyone was.
Vidal, who had been defending against David Silva, did not see Kaka's shot.
So, when the football came roaring, he turned his head, before he had time to react, the football hit his face and bounced to the ground, just at the feet of David Silva!
Vidal hasn't reacted to Kaka's shot, but David Silva is not welcome!
He rushed directly, and volleyed straight on the back of his left foot!
The football flew to the goal against the ground. Before everyone could react, the ball had already flown into the goal in the bottom right corner.
Buffon moved ahead of time to block Kaka’s long shot, so when David Silva took a shot, he moved very quickly, but he only had time to react and waited until he arrived. The football has already got into the goal against the inner edge of the post, and he has never had time to touch the football...
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!! David Silva!!!!!! David Silva!!!!!! Manchester City leads Juventus one to zero away from home !! Less than a minute after the match, Manchester City took the lead!! Who would have thought before the match that the old woman Juventus would concede the ball so quickly?"
"To be precise, thirty-six seconds! Thirty-six seconds from the opening! Manchester City scored! Now Juventus are in trouble. They have to press on offense. A two-round knockout match. Manchester City have scored an away goal and they have the first opportunity!!!"
After the goal, David Silva was quite excited. He laughed and rushed to the sidelines, waving his fists to celebrate, and then turned around.
Hazard who rushed over first flew up and jumped onto David Silva's body.
Where did the skinny David stand such a punt, he was immediately thrown to the ground by Hazard.
Then Manchester City players rushed up, pounced on both of them, celebrating the goal together.
In fact, Gao Bo did not expect the team to score so quickly.
This goal has unexpected elements, but in any case, this goal gave Manchester City an advantage!
He was still writing and drawing with a notebook, and even prepared for zero to zero in the first half-he studied the Juventus team these days, but their defense was done. Very good and very resilient!
This is a very difficult opponent.
But now this goal makes Manchester City's situation suddenly clear.
The conditions for Juventus to seek stability are gone.
They slow down the rhythm, and Manchester City can naturally move forward.
The big deal is to play a one-to-zero away game.
This result is quite favorable for Manchester City, but for Juventus, it is quite passive.
Therefore, after losing the ball, Conte will appear so angry.
He was very dissatisfied with his team's failure at that moment.
Everyone was attracted by Kaka's long shot, and temporarily forgot to mark other Manchester City players.
At the moment when David Silva kicked the shot, there was no Juventus player to interfere?
Conte roared from the sidelines, and Juventus's players on the court were also sunken.
Losing the ball at the beginning of the game was a heavy blow to Juventus.
But the Juventus team is worthy of their "old women" title, they did not panic after losing the ball.
After the game restarted, the leading Manchester City immediately adopted a more secure counterattack strategy.
This is also the arrangement before the Gaobo game.
He doesn't want the team to gnaw on the opponent's complete defense. The defense is Juventus's strongest point, so Manchester City naturally shrinks back after taking the lead, ready to fight Juventus's counterattack.
Juventus also gradually took control of the game. They slowly pushed the line through halftime, appearing very calm.
In the eleventh minute of the game, Quagliarella created an opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt.
Pirlo came to take the penalty.
This was a free kick far away from the goal, but Pirlo still shot a very fast deciduous ball.
The football was slightly higher than the crossbar, which shocked the Manchester City players!
"Ahhhhh! Pirlo!!! What a pity!!!"
The Italian commentator held his head in regret.
"Pirlo... it's dangerous!!!"
The English commentators were frightened by Pirlo's handling of this free kick.
"Man City needs to pay attention. The opponent has no way of attacking. Pirlo's free kick is very threatening. Manchester City needs to avoid giving the opponent a free kick in a dangerous position as much as possible!"
...
Although Pirlo's free kick did not score a goal, it set off a frenzy of Juventus' attack!
In the thirteenth minute of the game, Vidal took a long shot after a stray shot in the middle!
The football sticks into the post to get out of the bottom line! !
In the fifteenth minute of the game, Pirlo picked up a flank, Lichsteiner crossed from the flank, and Matri hit the header in the middle. Under the interference of Maguire's defense, the football was topped!
In the seventeenth minute of the game, Juventus' attack came back.
Pirlo took a long shot from the penalty zone line and was pounced by Oblak, then Quagliarella made a supplementary shot in front of the goal, and Kompany first made a clear! !
Juventus's offensive is getting fiercer.
Juventus fans at the scene also made a huge noise to support their team.
In this atmosphere, let alone the Manchester City players on the field, even Gao Bo frowned.
In the twenty-third minute of the game, a heartbreaking scene for Manchester City fans appeared.
David Silva, the scoring hero, fell to the ground after confronting Barzagli, and then lay on the ground with his left thigh.
The team doctor hurried into the field to check, and finally he made a gesture.
David Silva can't hold on, he must be replaced!
Gao Bo finally made up his mind.
"Can't kick like this anymore! Let Zheke warm up!!!"
He turned his head and said to Moya, then beckoned Kaka, Griezman, and Hazard to come over.
"Go back and tell the players that you can't let them attack like this anymore. We are controlling the rhythm and pressing them back!!"
"Wait later, Philosophy will do the ball for you, try to shoot more outside the penalty area!!"
At this time, we can't make too complicated arrangements. Gao Bo simply said, and pushed the two back to the court.
"Man City is about to replace, David Silva is injured, and Gao Bo looks like the player he is about to replace is Dzeko!!"
"Zeko is ready to play, Manchester City makes a passive substitution!!"
"More than 20 minutes in the first half, David Silva was injured. Manchester City lost a frontcourt general and was forced to use a substitution spot!!"
The commentators said one after another.
Manchester City fans also began to worry about the team.
Although the team is now leading by one goal, this series of unfavorable factors seems to make it difficult for Manchester City to retreat from the Juventus stadium...
.......
Conte saw the scene where Gao Bo kept calling the players on the court over to teach him the opportunity.
He knew that Manchester City must make adjustments.
Although he didn't know what adjustment Gao Bo would make, Conte was confident in his heart.
In this stage of the game, Juventus has the advantage, in addition to falling behind, Juventus dominates in other aspects.
In this case, Conte can naturally watch the changes, his team does not need to rush to change! !
But when the game resumed, Conte found that Juventus's smooth and smooth attack had disappeared.
Because Manchester City regained possession of the ball.
Compared to control, Manchester City is not weaker than Juventus!
In fact, Manchester City is no less than Juventus in terms of the number of midfielders.
To some extent, 4231 is also a variant of the 451 formation.
Therefore, Manchester City has a lot of midfielders.
The two sides competed in the midfield, but the result of the midfield contention was that Manchester City had the advantage!
Conte’s confidence was gone, and his team was gradually overwhelmed by Manchester City in the midfield.
........
"After Manchester City changed their players, they gradually took control of the situation!! If Juventus played better in the first 20 minutes, then after Gao Bo made adjustments, Manchester City began to gain the upper hand!"
"Juventus, who fell behind by one goal, was gradually suppressed by Manchester City!!"
"It's hard to imagine that a team from England can play such a delicate tactical coordination, and Griezmann and Hazard's constant attempts on the wing have also allowed Italian fans to see the performance of these two powerful players. Once upon a time, the league that such an excellent player yearned most was Serie A, but now, Serie A has begun to lag behind La Liga, behind to the Premier League, and even Bundesliga is beginning to surpass Serie A.
The Italian commentators exclaimed.
Italy is the region with the most abundant football tactics. There are many famous coaches here, and football tactics such as chain defense have been developed here.
And Serie A was once the world's No. 1 league, known as the Little World Cup.
However, with the decline of the Italian economy, Serie A began to decline with the overall environment.
At least, out of a few teams, such as Juventus, many Serie A teams have begun to tighten money, the competitiveness of Serie A has dropped a lot compared to a few years ago.
In the Italians' impression, the English team with rough tactics will actually have a different kind of delicate tactics like Manchester City.
Perhaps it is not a different kind. Guardiola entered Manchester United and began to carry out tactical reforms. With the strengthening of the economic strength of the Premier League, more and more famous coaches, including the head coach from Italy, will go to the Premier League. Tactical poverty alleviation", I am afraid that more and more English teams like Manchester City will appear.
For Juventus players, they are not as smooth as they were before 20 minutes in the first half.
They felt aggrieved on the court.
Manchester City did not aggressively press the offense, they just control the ball in the midfield.
The personal abilities of their players, as well as the smoothness of cooperation, are obviously better than Juventus.
The Italian media also seems to have this feeling. As the game progresses, Juventus has become more and more that Manchester City can't help it.
...
Before the end of the first half, Manchester City scored again!
In the 39th minute of the game, just after the two teams entangled in the midfield for more than ten minutes, Manchester City suddenly launched an attack.
The Manchester City attack caught Juventus by surprise.
After Griezmann came to the center and back to receive the ball, he launched a long pass. Dzeko headed back in the penalty area. After stopping the ball, Kaka aimed at the bottom right corner and volleyed!
Buffon's whip is beyond reach, the football gets into the net again!
"Kaka!!! Beautiful!!! Manchester City scored the second goal of the game!!! Before the game, people thought it would be a close match, but now it seems that this is not the case. Juventus, who played at home, looked a little weak when facing Manchester City. The Serie A champion was almost tactically knocked down by the opponent at home!"
"Man City scored the second goal easily. From the 20th minute of this match, Juventus will never get any advantage anymore!!!"
"Man City’s attack is very sudden, but this suddenness is based on their midfield technical superiority. Their control in the midfield is obviously stronger than Juventus, which is unimaginable before the game. !!!"
In the silent Juventus Arena, Juventus players looked very frustrated.
They did not expect that the game against Manchester City would be so difficult.
........
During the intermission, Gao Bo praised the team's performance, but he did not overstate them all.
"This is a 90-minute game. We played well in the first half. It doesn't mean that we performed well in the second half. I commend you because you did a great job in the first half, but don't think you can indulge in the second half. The opponent is Juventus, they have the ability to threaten our goal!"
"Continue to maintain our style in the second half, use the ball to attract Juventus out, and then attack their defensive weakness! They have three central defenders, but when they press up in the midfield, there is room for the wing. This It's our chance!!"
Several names were marked on the tactical board behind Gao Bo. This is the Juventus dangerous figure that Gao Bo marked for the team before the game, and he asked the team to pay attention to it.
In the most conspicuous position, the name of "Pirlo" is listed.
Pirlo is undoubtedly the master of the midfield, for such a player, Gao Bo dare not wait for a moment.
.........
The intermission time went on very quickly, and the two sides changed sides in the second half to fight again!
Neither team made adjustments.
At the kick-off point in the second half, Juventus made a dangerous offensive by taking advantage of the kick-off opportunity.
Pirlo divided the ball to the wing, and Peruso inserted it and passed it to the penalty area.
After the football was cleared by Maguire, Marchisio made a long shot from the penalty area, forcing Oblak to make a save.
He leaped sideways and saved the ball to the bottom line!
Juventus corner kick! !
Pirlo took a corner kick to the penalty area, and Matri slammed his head into the penalty area. The football hit the post and bounced back. Trippier, who was exclaimed, kicked out the bottom line!
Juventus continue the corner kick! !
"Matri!!! Ah ah ah!!! What a pity!!! Posts!!!"
The Italian commentator held his head, and Juventus fans also sighed with regret in the stands.
But they quickly became happy.
"Juventus just started in the second half, and the offense has improved a lot!!"
"That's how it kicks!! This is Juventus!!!"
Juventus fans applauded Juventus's performance.
However, after Manchester City grabbed the ball back, Juventus fans found that Juventus's performance just now seemed to be a return.
Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief.
If Mattley scored this goal, Manchester City would really be a little troublesome, but now...Manchester City will basically not give Juventus any chance.
One of the hallmarks of a strong team is superior control.
When Manchester City want to control the game, they are often able to do so.
This game is not an isolated game.
Gao Bo wants to achieve the goal, on the one hand, to win, on the other hand, the team's consumption cannot be too great.
Because after this game, it will be Manchester Derby. This is a game that must not be missed, and the intensity of the game can be imagined.
David Silva's injury was unexpected, and this has already caused Manchester City to suffer a lot of losses.
Gao Bo's plan was to shrink the defense and give up space in the backcourt to Juventus.
But he soon discovered that he underestimated Juventus and his opponent could launch a very threatening offensive.
So he quickly adjusted!
Let the team control the ball and suppress the opponent back.
But in fact, Manchester City's goal is to burn the fire to Juventus halftime. On the one hand, Manchester City can prevent the opponent's attack, and on the other hand, Manchester City can even expand the lead.
...
Conte also saw Gao Bo's plan, so Juventus soon changed.
He replaced Vidal in midfield, and then replaced striker Vucinic!
Then replaced Cagliarella with Giovenco!
In terms of offense, Juventus also began to play more simple and straightforward.
Qiao Wenke can bring breakthrough abilities, and Vucinic also does the same!
And the strong Matthew can be used as a frontcourt fulcrum.
Once he has the ball, Pirlo's long pass will be the starting point for Juventus' attack.
The breakthrough of Vucinic and Giovinco can also pose a threat to Juventus' attack!
.......
The fighting method of the two coaches also made the form of the field constantly change.
Facing Juventus's slightly more direct style of play, although the opponent has not yet threatened the goal guarded by Oblak, they have succeeded in disrupting the scene!
Juventus is making the calculation of winning in chaos.
If the game ends with the current score, Juventus will undoubtedly find it difficult to comeback on the road.
But if they can score a goal, Juventus, although equally difficult, is not as difficult as two goals behind.
What's more, the game time is still long, what if the score can be equalized?
In the 67th minute of the game, when Giovenco made a set-piece in the frontcourt, Gao Bo felt a little bit bad.
Sure enough, Pirlo's free kick bypassed the wall and went straight into the goal! !
One to two!
Juventus scored a goal! ! !
"Pirlo!!! Beautiful!!! Juventus scored a goal!!! The score became one to two!!! There is still time!!! There is still time for the game!!!"
The Italian narrator shouted!
Amidst the cheers of the fans in the stands, Matri rushed into the goal, grabbed the ball and walked back!
The camera locks on Pirlo!
The Italian midfielder also waved his fists and quickly ran to his own half!
Juventus pulled back a goal and there are more than 20 minutes left in the game, enough for them to score another goal!
Gao Bo was also a little helpless about this loss. The opponent is not a big belly. It is almost impossible to suppress them for 90 minutes.
However, when Juventus aggressively pressed the attack, it was counterattacked by Manchester City!
Casemiro broke Juventus's forward pass, and then he passed the ball to Kaka!
Kaka drove the ball at high speed all the way to the frontcourt side to the right!
Griezmann dunked from the right, dunked Chiellini and then crossed the ball to the center!
The football passes by Dzeko's feet, but there are still players following Manchester City!
Hazard shovel shot behind!
Football flies to the goal again! ! !
Three to one! ! !
Manchester City once again expanded its lead! ! !
This is also the goal at the end of the game!
When the three minutes of stoppage time passed, the camera locked on Conte.
The Italian coach rubbed his hands ~EbookFREE.me~ and then stood up and walked into the player tunnel.
"One to three loss at home, which almost means that Juventus has been sentenced to death!!"
"Most of Manchester City has entered the semi-finals of the Champions League!!"
"The game is over!!! The game is over!!! Manchester City beat Juventus three to one away. Although the two sides have another game in the middle of next week, Manchester City is basically determined to advance! Juventus wants to come back too. Low!!"
The commentators said.
Gao Bo stood up from the coach's bench.
High-five and congratulate each other with your assistants.
"Are we going to the semifinals?"
Moya asked with a smile.
"low profile..."
Gao Bo smiled brightly...
