Chapter 567 The Boiling Oriental Stadium
Compared with the worried Capello, Xiao Ming is much easier. Although the stumbling in the league this season has made the fans of Leiden Oriental who are used to victory a little uncomfortable, no matter what, Xiao Ming is also a dictator of Leiden Oriental - sometimes it is relatively easy to be a dictator, not to mention that Leiden Oriental, which has already won five consecutive championships in the league, can be said to be a ruthless winner. Even if they can't win the league championship this year, fans will not have too many dissatisfaction.
Since there is no longer too much pressure in the league, Xiao Ming is even more at ease in preparing for the Champions League. Although Juventus' advantage in Serie A in the past two seasons is surprising, to be fair, this has a lot to do with the referee's help. The phone door that is about to shock the world is definitely not groundless, and Moji himself is definitely not as innocent as he claims.
What's more, let's look at their main lineup. Except for Buffon 28, Ibrahimovic 24, and Trezege 28, the other players are all around 30 years old, and they can be considered veteran players. Moreover, after Capello operates such a main lineup, he is not very good at substitute lineup. By the end of the season, the veterans' physical fitness has been almost exhausted. In this case, even if Capello really has the power to turn the world back, he is probably a clever man who can't cook without rice.
Nedved's suspension was another huge blow.
Even if Leiden Oriental has the disadvantage of hosting first and then away, Xiao Ming is confident that he will establish a huge advantage at home, allowing Juventus to face a desperate situation after returning to home.
Leiden East is now considered a strong man. Although it stumbles in the league, it allows young players to quickly accumulate experience. Messi has played a lot this season, and White has become more and more adapted to the center position after gaining enough playing time. Although he can't be the main player now, it is a good choice as a powerful pawn at a critical moment. Pirlo and Ronaldo, two players who have been officially promoted this season, have begun to join the ranks of world-class players. From this perspective, it is absolutely worth paying the price of a season. It is absolutely worth it to be able to successfully complete the blood exchange action of renewal without much damage to the vitality.
In addition, in the last league game, all the main players of Leiden Oriental rested in the stands, Juventus fought a difficult decisive battle with ten people, and then rushed from Turin to London to participate in the game. Now the time, the place and people are in good condition. Xiao Ming felt that if he couldn't defeat his opponent in this game, he would rather not take the head coach to take a shower and go to bed.
However, Xiao Ming still knows that he is considering his opponent strategically and attaching importance to his opponent tactically, so he has studied Juventus a lot during this period. It can be said that since he knew that his opponent in the quarter-finals was Juventus, he began to study Juventus' tactics.
Capello took two years to form a powerful Juventus team. His basic tactics are similar to those used by Xiao Ming first. Capello is also a master of teaching according to his aptitude. Although he played the most pleasing offensive football in Europe when he was in Rome, he is a conservative coach in his bones. He is a defensive midfielder in the middle. The organization relies more on playing the left front-back Nedved and the drag-back forward. After Vieira's transfer this year, he made up for the last shortcoming in the lineup, which was without any flaws.
But there is no formation and team in the world that will not have flaws. The team is composed of people. It is impossible for people to have shortcomings, and there will be no team without shortcomings.
Juventus's best is of course their defense. Cannavaro is a big advantage Juventus picked. After reuniting with his defender Turam in Parma, Cannavaro's problem of sometimes overspending and losing position was the biggest compensation. His previous failure at Inter Milan was not his ability, but Cannavaro needs a safe central defender who can fill the position. Whether it is Matrazi or Cordoba, they happen to be a defender of similar types as him, so his performance is not good. Now his partner has become Turam.
Navarro can play his best form, and in the frontcourt, Emerson and Vieira, the two world's best offense and defense, have made Juventus's backstabbing so hard. Compared with their defense, Juventus' offense is not so gorgeous. After Ibrahimovic's retreat, Camorane's breakthrough on the west side and Nedved's running to create opportunities through large-scale running. In addition, Trezege's physical condition this year, with this center who can always score goals, Juventus' offense has also become better.
It is not possible to completely suppress such a team, and it is not possible to recycle defense and counterattack, because the opponent's midfielder has a very strong interception ability. If you want to beat Juventus, you can only base yourself in the midfield and gain an advantage in the midfield, reduce the number of attacks on the opponent, and then continue to attack their defense line until the fight is loose.
As for defense, Xiao Ming is not too worried. As long as he can suppress the opponent in the midfield, Juventus does not have much ability to counterattack, especially after missing Nedved, Camoranesi only has the ability to attack from the side, and Ibrahimovic has excellent ability to get the ball, but he prefers to do solo. Trezege... he should not expect him to do anything other than scoring goals.
After thinking about this, Xiao Ming had a rough outline in his heart how to deal with Juventus at home.
The midfield suppression allowed Emerson and Vieira to focus more on defense, reduce the number of times Trezeguet took the ball, lure Ibrahimovic into a scene of constantly working alone, and allow the opponent's two sides to swim on the side. Next, it was to break through Juventus' steel defense line.
Unlike when dealing with Real Madrid, Van Nicht is a little more effective than Ronaldo, which has a strong ability to deal with ground blockade, is sensitive to responsive but average height.
On March 29, at 7:45 pm local time in London, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals kicked off at the Oriental Stadium.
In this game, Capello still sent out the 442 formation that Juventus mainly plays this season. Goalkeeper Buffon, defenders Zebina, Cannavaro, Toulam, Zambrota, and midfielder Emerson and Vieira partnered with double midfielders. This was the first time Vieira returned to London since leaving London, and it was also his first time playing at the Eastern Stadium. Right forward Camoranesi, Mutu replaced Nedved, who was suspended as the left forward, and forward partners were double Tayybrahimovic and Trezege.
Xiao Ming also sent Leighton East's main lineup this season, with goalkeeper Jass Cranin, defenders Daniel, Lucio, Hypia and Ashley Cole, midfielder Marklele, Pirlo, Gerrard, forward Jin Kraze, Ronaldo and Fanny, Paul Gerrard, Sun Jihai, Mascherano, Messi, Bentley, David White and Ronaldo sitting on the bench.
Leiden Oriental, who is at home, wants to take advantage of the home advantage and the opponent's midfield core suspension to gain a huge advantage. From the members of this bench, it can be seen that in addition to the necessary second goalkeeper and Sun Jihai, other players are offensive players. No matter who replaces these substitutes, they can form multiple offensive combinations. Not to mention Capello, even ordinary fans know this, but this is a normal thing. If you cannot get enough advantages at home, Leiden Oriental's prospects will not be so good after going away.
Leiden Oriental's main attacker and Juventus' main defense, which is the tone of this game.
It's not Capello's conservative, but the schedule of going away and then home and Nedved's suspension made him only put him in the home game in the second round. In this game, a draw is a victory. Of course, if you can get a draw or win, it's naturally the best.
Although it is mainly attacking, Leiden East plays very cautiously after the opening. After all, if the schedule of home and away is lost first, it will be a very troublesome. Trezege is a very outstanding opportunistic shooter. He often does not appear in the middle of the game. When he appears in front of the camera, he is the time to score goals. Ibrahimovic is also a forward who can often play amazing world waves. He cannot relax at all for such a player.
Leiden Oriental played cautiously, and Juventus was naturally more cautious. In the first few minutes, both sides were more tested in the midfield. Emerson claimed that he covered the area from his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area. Vieira was one of the best midfielders in the world when she was at Arsenal. However, this time they met three super midfielders - the older they became, the more demons they became. Marklele, who had reached the level of perfect defense and positioning, officially straightened up this season. Pirlo, who had the style of a midfield master, and a Gerald, who was getting stronger and stronger as he setbacks and never gave up, three played two, not to mention that Leiden Oriental's midfield is younger than the opponent and has better physical fitness...
Nedved is not here, and the responsibility of being responsible for the Juventus midfield organization is unavoidable to Vieira. First, in Juventus' midfield now, he is the most famous, and second, when he was at Arsenal, he played the position of the core of the midfield and is not unfamiliar with this tactic. Compared with him, although Emerson is also a midfielder with both offense and defense, he lacks the atmosphere of Vieira and his grasp of the overall situation. To put it bluntly, he is a good auxiliary midfielder, but he is still missing from the core of the team.
However, this is also within Xiao Ming's consideration.
Vieira is indeed the best candidate for Juventus' offensive and defensive hub, but he is not without weaknesses. Although Vieira, who is thirty years old this year, his ability to confrontation is not particularly outstanding. When he was at Arsenal, he always had a player who did dirty work. Whether it was Edu or Gilberto Silva later, he needed protection. This can be seen from his slightly excessive legs that his lower weight is actually not so stable, especially as he gets older, his problem becomes more prominent, otherwise Wenger will not give up on him - this Frenchman has never suffered a loss. The players he sells are often players who are starting to decline. There are absolutely no good players produced by Arsenal, even if they perform well at Arsenal.
Pressing Vieira in the midfield, even if you use similar foul action to fight, it will disrupt Juventus' offensive and defensive rhythm.
Vieira just got the ball, and Gerald and Pirlo rushed over from left to right. Unlike history, Pirlo, who came to Leiden East early, may not be as delicate as Pirlo in history in his small skills, but his running and confrontation are much better than Pirlo in history.
Gerrard was facing Vieira head-on. Pirlo stretched his foot to intercept the ball from time to time, and immediately made Vieira rush. After feeling that it was difficult for him to control the ball, Vieira turned around and passed the ball to Emerson. Gerrard gave up Vieira and rushed towards Emerson. Pirlo stayed there and continued to guard Vieira.
Emerson passed the ball to Mutu on the left. The Romanian began to drive the ball forward. Daniel came up and the two hit him. Mutu's lower plate was very stable. Daniel did not lose the center of gravity by Daniel, but he also lost the possibility of continuing to move forward. Mutu had to stop urgently and then passed the ball to Ibrahimovic who pulled out to meet him.
Ibrahimovic just got the ball, and Lucio, who came out of the penalty area, joined forces with Marklele to knock the Swede to the ground. The referee blew the whistle and awarded Juventus a free kick from the frontcourt, but refused the Swede's dissatisfied request to show the opponent a yellow card.
The first shot of the game came from this free kick - Mutu spread across the board, and Ibrahimovic's long shot missed the right post.
After this shot, the game was deadlocked again. Both sides pressed in the midfield, but Leiden East, which had obvious physical strength, began to gradually gain the upper hand. Although both sides made continuous fouls and the rhythm was interrupted, the advantage on the field gradually shifted towards Leiden East.
In the fifteenth minute, Leiden East ushered in his first shot.
Daniel threw the sideline ball, Ronaldo took the ball from the side, and the running of Jinklaze and Van Nicht attracted the attention of Juventus defenders. Ronaldo forced himself to get rid of Zanbrotta's defense and then secretly knocked the ball to the front of the penalty area with his heel. Gerald inserted his foot and prepared to shoot. Vieira and Emerson immediately blocked it, but Gerald raised his foot and gave it over!
Pirlo, who was inserted, shot directly at the front of the penalty area. The shot was very sudden, but Buffon made a wonderful save and fell to the ground and blocked the ball with one hand!
After a shot, Leiden East's offense exploded like a tide!
Jinklaze beautifully broke through Zebina's defense on the left and then made a cross. Fanny still grabbed the first landing point under the interference of Toulam, and the header slightly missed the far post.
Pirlo passed the ball in the middle, Daniel who inserted it forcibly got rid of Ibrahimovic who was returning to defense and shot a long time 22 meters away from the goal. The ball was blocked by Cannavaro.
In the 19th minute, Ronaldo's breakthrough created a free kick. He personally took the penalty and the ball was saved by Buffon. Two minutes later, Kinclair's breakthrough was blocked by Camoranesi with a foul. The referee showed Camoranesi a yellow card, and the Argentine would suspend the game in the next game.
In Leiden East's fierce attack, Juventus could only rely on counterattack to create some opportunities. Emerson intercepted the ball and found Ibrahimovic's feet directly under the feet. The Swede tried to drive the ball to break through Daniel, but his fake moves failed to escape Daniel's judgment. Daniel directly stretched out his foot to break the ball, and then raised his foot to overturn Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic lay on the ground and raised his hand to signal Daniel to commit a foul. The referee ignored him. Ibrahimovic jumped up from the ground and chased Daniel with several big steps, and knocked down Daniel with both hands and feet...
His action almost caused a conflict between the two sides. Daniel jumped up and rushed towards Ibrahimovic. The two of them pressed their foreheads against each other like bullfighting. Fortunately, the other players were calm and rushed up to pull the two sides apart...
The referee on duty warned both sides a few words, and the game continued.
The atmosphere in the stands has reached a white-hot level. Leiden Oriental fans shouted "Fake" frantically, while raising their middle fingers at the Juventus fans on the field. Thousands of Juventus fans were not willing to be outdone. Both sides scolded each other through the stands. If it weren't for the enough police force at the scene, someone might have started to take off the seats and throw them into the field...
"mb! One seat is fifty pounds, I'll pay you if it is dismantled!" Xiao Ming cursed on the coach's seat. Leiden Oriental fans who were close to each other heard their boss's scolding and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The atmosphere on the court can affect the performance of the players on the court, and the situation on the court can in turn affect the enthusiasm of the fans in the stands. For the Oriental Stadium with a large capacity and extremely close to the stadium, coupled with the enthusiasm of the fans of Leiden Oriental, the Oriental Stadium is fully capable of becoming the hell of the visiting team.
With the shouts of Leiden Oriental fans in the stands and the confrontation between fans on both sides, the game on the court ushered in the first ten minutes of dullness and temptation.
Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the right and forcibly broke through Zambrota's defense, and then handed the ball to Vanny in the middle. Vanny did not pass the ball, but instead dribbled the ball and turned around unconventionally, and then forced a shot under Cannavaro's close-fitting defense.
Although the shot ended up missing, it still aroused the shouts and warm applause from the fans of Leiden Oriental in the stands.
Chapter completed!
