Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 177 Domination of Juventus

The effect of Mandzukic's sideline far exceeded everyone's imagination. He used his strong body to forcefully push a path on the right side of Dortmund.

This tall center who often participates in strangulation in the middle is a giant in terms of side confrontation. His height, weight, and strength are a crushing presence for Dortmund's full-backs.

In this way, Wang Po was directly bypassed, and the midfielder led by Brighton was not entangled with him. Tuchel's intention suddenly became empty decoration.

Mandzukic moved forward like a bulldozer on the wing and hit the back of Dortmund's defense with a cross. Dybala, who was inserted in the back row, jumped up hard and ferried the ball to the center. Higuain kept the ball and volleyed the ball to the goal. , the distance was too close, the ball speed was too fast, and Schmelzer had no reaction at all.

1 to 0.

Playing away from home, Juventus, who took the initiative to seek changes, took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the 14th minute of the first half and took the lead.

This goal also instantly reversed the previous disadvantage. If this score is maintained, Juventus will advance to the next round, and Dortmund is in a desperate situation.

The situation took a turn for the worse in just 14 minutes.

"Uncle" Allegri's proactive change caught the Dortmund team off guard. Frankly speaking, Tuchel did not expect such a large circle tactic. After all, looking back at the past Juventus under Allegri The team has never used such tactics.

Somewhat confused!

After taking the lead, Juventus once again returned to the 442 formation, slowing down the offensive rhythm and consolidating the defense. Even if there is an excellent counterattack opportunity, up to four people can participate in the attack, and everything is focused on defense.

The familiar rhythm of the game returns.

Everyone in Dortmund is no stranger to this kind of game rhythm. In the last game, they were almost suffocated by Juventus in this way. In the end, they relied on Wang Po's personal ability to break the game. To be honest, even Wang Po has to admit it. , that goal that traveled thousands of miles alone and challenged the Juventus defense, there was an element of luck.

Not only that, in this game, on the defensive end, Juventus took great care of Wang Po and did not give him a chance to catch the ball comfortably.

The score was behind and the entire first half was almost invisible. Wang Po was a little anxious. After receiving an inverted triangle pass from Ousmane Dembele on the wing, he wanted to exert his strength too much and sent the ball to the stands with a flying kick. .

"beep"

The referee did not give any more time and immediately blew the whistle to end the first half.

Halftime, in the Dortmund dressing room.

"Be patient on offense and don't be anxious. There is no airtight defense in the world, so what if it's an Italian? Look for more opportunities in the ribs, and forward players should make more front-end responses without the ball."

Dortmund's current situation has reached the edge of the cliff, and the one under the greatest pressure is head coach Tuchel. At this time, the German is surprisingly calm and carefully outlines his offensive tactics for the second half on the tactical board.

"Defensively, once the opponent adopts a large circle tactic again, Brighton, you go to limit the opponent's second 1, which is Pjanic, Wang Po, you go to the second forward position, and mark the opponent's first 1 , Marchisio, Aubameyang, you must also participate in the defense of Marchisio.”

Tuchel made detailed arrangements for both offensive and defensive tactics. As the head coach, he did everything he could.

God decides what you want to do, fight, Borussia Dortmund!

"Du~!"

The referee blew the whistle to start the second half.

Dortmund, who were lagging behind, did not hold back at the beginning of the second half. They pressed forward and attacked with all their strength.

Juventus also cooperated very well and gave up control of the ball in the midfield. All three lines retreated to their own defensive third zone. The three lines were separated by about 8 meters.

When the director switches to an overhead shot, you can see how terrifying Juventus' defensive system is.

When one ring moves, all three lines of defense move. The defensive players on the front, back, and left are ready to cover for their teammates. Moreover, in terms of defense changes, the Juventus players also have a tacit understanding, and Ousmane Dembele often passes him by. After one player, there’s another player.

Wang Po, who took the ball on the right in front of the penalty area, keenly caught the gap between the opponent's left defensive full-back and the center back with his peripheral vision. It was a pity.

This is an opportunity, but at the same time the requirements for passers are extremely high.

This is a passing distance of nearly 30 meters, spanning three lines of defense of Juventus. The opponent's players can completely predict the passing route and destroy it.

The team's formation presses forward, and once it is blocked, it will inevitably cause huge pressure on the team's defense.

If they concede another goal, Dortmund will really be in doom.

Should you take this risk?

The opponent's defensive players have already pressed forward, leaving Wang Po with little time to make a choice.

Looking up, Aubameyang on the left wing waved and asked, ready to start at any time.

Wang Po took a step crosswise and passed the ball with a kick. The ball drew a wonderful arc in mid-air and landed accurately in the gap between the Juventus left back and center back. Bameyang took two quick steps and got the ball. Faced with a sandwich attack from the two players in front and behind him, he stepped down to the bottom and picked the ball towards the center.

Under the pressure of the opponent's defensive players, Aubameyang's pass was also somewhat inaccurate and passed directly to Wang Po at the back point near the penalty area line.

Another chance for a long shot from the outside.

Compared to the rough and impatient shot in the first half, Wang Po was unusually calm at this moment. Seeing Khedira rushing out to fill the position, he took a step sideways and rubbed the ball again. However, this time it was not a pass, but a direct shot.

The scimitar was unsheathed, and the blood was sealed.

The ball drew a crescent in the air and turned directly to the left post of the goal.

The arc, speed, and power were all good.

Even though Buffon had already predicted it and took a step to the left when Wang Po kicked the ball, he underestimated the speed of the ball after all. His fingertips almost touched the ball, but failed to change the direction of the ball.

Goal!

"World wave, super perfect world wave, desperate situation still depends on Wang Po."

The commentator in front of the TV shouted excitedly. "Such a beautiful arc is simply a work of art. Even if Buffon had been prepared, he could not escape the fate of becoming a background board."

1 to 1.

Wang Po's goal ignited the Wis** Stadium, which took the opportunity.

Dortmund and Juventus are back at the same starting line again.

"Uncle" Allegri on the sidelines also shook his head frequently, Wang Po again, and a magical goal again.

Recalling the solo shot in the first round, and looking at the world wave in the second round, Allegri looked helpless, completely dominated by Wang Po.

Of course, Juventus's loss of a goal is not the end of the world. The total score of the two sides is tied, and both have one away goal. If there is no goal in the remaining games, it will enter overtime, or even a cruel penalty shootout.
