Chapter 173: Challenging the Strongest Defense System

"Of course, I also enjoy challenging the best goalkeepers in the world."

Wang Po responded with fighting spirit in his eyes.

"That's settled."

With that said, Buffon stretched out his hand and the two high-fived to agree on this challenge.

"Hey, kid, don't worry, I won't let you have a chance to shoot."

Chiellini also came over to join in the fun.

"Hey, there's me too." Bonucci's voice came from behind Chiellini.

Facing one of the strongest defenses, Wang Po could only feel his blood surging. He couldn't wait to play. "Wow, we'll see, old boys."

Accompanied by the passionate Champions League march.

Players from Dortmund and Juventus have already entered the match stadium.

The entire Allianz Stadium in Turin was filled with Juventus fans. Of course, there was still a touch of yellow in the visiting team's stands, which was the traveling Borussia Dortmund fans.

Juventus coach Allegri looked calm on the sidelines, demonstrating his confidence from the inside out. In this game, he is confident that he can win his opponent at home.

Tuchel was as calm as ever, with no emotion leaking out from his face.

"Du~!"

The referee blew the whistle and the game started.

As soon as they came up, with the help of their home court, Juventus took the initiative to attack Dortmund's goal.

Even though Juventus head coach Allegri, who emphasizes defense, shows a proactive attitude, he is also very strict in the formation requirements. The three lines are kept very tight, like an airtight net, with one link Buckle one ring.

The offensive group in the frontcourt spread out smoothly.

After Pirlo, the legendary Italian star, Milan and Juventus star, and midfield master Pirlo retired, Pjanic took the lead in Juventus' midfield, with Marchisio and Khedira behind him.

Without Wang Po in the midfield, it would be difficult for Dortmund to compete with the opponent for control of the ball. Soon, Juventus took control of the ball.

Surrounding Dortmund's penalty area, the offensive work began.

The combination of Mandzukic, Dybala, and Higuain on the front line makes Juventus' offense very three-dimensional, with small-scale passing and cutting, high-altitude bombing, and speed impact. To be honest, such a system offensive line It is what the defenders are most afraid of.

In the eighth minute of the game, Pjanic's rib-footed ball penetrated the Dortmund defense. Dybala, who started early, shook off the defensive full-back and dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area with a low kick. The flat ball was shot in the middle, and Higuain was connected in the middle. Mandzukic showed a double ghost attack posture, and finally the "little smoke gun" Higuain scored in front of the goal.

In just 8 minutes, Juventus took the lead. After a wonderful start, the Allianz Stadium in Turin was boiling.

Pjanic's penetrating pass instantly disintegrated Dortmund's defense.

The goal was scored so easily, and Tuchel talked trash on the sidelines. The Dortmund players looked very frustrated about this conceded goal.

"It doesn't matter, just concentrate, it's just a ball, just hit it back."

Wang Po encouraged his teammates.

Allegri's team has always been 1-0, and letting them score first is very uncomfortable for the trailing side.

Sure enough, after the goal, the Juventus team entered a very familiar rhythm of the game, firmly controlling the ball, and every time the ball was played, they appeared to be very stable. They lowered the rhythm consciously and continuously passed out opportunities. Make risky penetration passes.

To be honest, such a game is boring and even makes people sleepy.

But in competitive sports, results speak for themselves.

Three points is the most realistic.

Under such a slow pace, it will be extremely torturous for the lagging side.

Do you dare to believe? From the goal in the 8th minute to the 46 minutes of stoppage time in the first half, there was no shooting data. It was very stable.

"beep"

The dull first half of the game was finally over. The Juventus fans in the stands had long been accustomed to the team's performance. They stretched and stood up to move around, waiting for the start of the second half.

In the locker room.

"In the second half, we must increase our speed." Tuchel emphasized loudly to the team players with a tactical board in his hand, "Brighton, please be tougher, stay close to Pjanic, and fight. , Strengthen, why did you let him go?"

Like a man-eating lion, Tuchel stared at the black and hard Brighton and said in an almost roaring tone.

He did not follow his pre-match plan, fell behind in the score, was so passive on the sidelines, and the opponent played very conservatively. Tuchel was worried.

"Hit the ball to Wang Po's wing more often and let him handle it."

…

Throughout the half, Tuchel roared loudly. It was obvious that the German was very dissatisfied with the performance of the players. If he had the cards in his hand and if there were enough substitutions, he would have wanted to replace everyone in the defense. Replace it.

The second half of the game began.

Although the Dortmund team was very proactive and consciously grabbed the ball, the experienced Juventus team was well prepared for the Hornets' counterattack. Several generals in the midfield connected together to firmly control the initiative of the ball. .

The Dortmund team had a feeling that they were unable to exert their strength. They snatched the ball and missed it time and time again. Instead, Juventus took advantage of the loopholes in the defense and launched several threatening attacks.

Fortunately, Schmelzer played steadily and kept the goal intact.

In the following game time, Tuchel continued to deploy troops and used up three substitutions, but the effect was minimal.

Time was passing, and there was not much time left in the game.

Finally, finally, in the 76th minute of the game, Dortmund's chance came.

Schmelzer changed the rhythm of the previous slow kick out of the goal. He noticed that Wang Po was ready to speed up on the wing, and kicked the ball with a big foot, and the ball flew 70 meters away.

Fortunately, Wang Po was fast enough to save the ball that was about to roll out of the sideline.

He ran all the way with the ball on the wing.

Evra came over, and he did not rush to grab it rashly with his championship experience. He stood in a very good position and did not give Wang Po space to speed up.

In this kind of Champions League knockout scene, players will not be given too much time to think. Many times it is a choice in the blink of an eye, or even an instinctive choice.

Wang Po made a bull tail on the spot, making Evra somewhat unable to defend, and started to accelerate and cut inside along the side.

Evra's reaction speed was also very fast, and he quickly followed.

Sensing that Evra would run and chase, Wang Po took a quick step and blocked the position, making Evra's pursuit in vain.

Wang Po entered the penalty area.

Bonucci, one of the two Xuanming elders, had already filled the position, and Chiellini behind him was also eyeing him.
