Prominence in Football Community

Vidal's handball was not awarded a penalty, which made Simeone very excited on the sidelines, but when he wanted to yell at the coach, he was dragged away by assistant coach Boggs covering his mouth.

Diego Simeone was sent to the stands for an altercation with Real Madrid player Varane in last season's Champions League final and was later banned for one game.

This also led to his one-match ban for the following Champions League games. Because he was sent off in the Champions League final last season, the suspended game fell to the first Champions League group match of this season.

That is, Atletico Madrid lost 2:3 away to Olympiacos in Greece. In that game, Boggs replaced Simeone and stood on the sidelines to direct the game.

So in fact, the failure of that game may have a lot to do with Simeone's absence.

Because of such a profound and painful lesson, Boggs made a timely move this time and dragged Simeone back.

"Diego! Calm down, calm down!" He kept persuading Simeone.

"This referee is so fucking..." Boggs covered Simeone's mouth again.

"I understand your dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty, but you don't have to put yourself in it?" Boggs said, "Well, like this... When you want to scold the referee in the future, you let me do it!"

Boggs pointed to himself.

Simeone was stunned: "Are you going?"

"That's right, I'll go, I'll scold. After scolding, I'll be sent to the stands and I'll be suspended, but this will not cause any loss to the team. At least you can continue to stay on the coach's bench to direct the game." Boggs said seriously.

Simeone smiled: "You are really the best assistant coach in the world, Mono."

Simeone was pulled away by Boggs, but the referee Blüch did not escape the scolding and boos of Atletico Madrid fans.

In the ensuing game, they booed the referee Blüch and Juventus midfielder Vidal.

Not long after, when Vidal was holding the ball in the backcourt, he was surrounded by three Atlético Madrid players. He hesitated and didn't pass the football at the first time, and found that he could no longer pass the ball.

Amidst the boos, three Atlético Madrid players used hands and feet,

Raúl García poked the football out and knocked Vidal down at the same time.

Vidal, who fell to the ground, yelled. He originally hoped that the referee would call Atletico Madrid a foul, but in the end, the referee's whistle did not sound.

The football stabbed by Raul Garcia happened to land beside Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng turned around and shot the football to the lower left corner with a low shot before Chiellini came up.

It was a sudden and high-quality shot.

The football was well pressed by Gao Zheng, and it flew across the turf towards the lower left corner of the goal.

Seeing that he was about to run to a dead end.

But when the football was about to enter the goal, a big hand suddenly reached out, and then flicked the football with his fingertips, and the football bypassed the goal post and rolled out of the baseline...

"Wooooooooooooow!!!" Caresa exclaimed. "Buffon made a very good save! Faced with Gao's high-quality shot, he still kept the football away!"

Gao Zheng himself didn't expect that Buffon would be able to block such a tricky shot from himself. He raised his hands and hugged his head.

Buffon, who got up from the ground, grinned and smiled at Gao Zheng, who was holding his head in regret, and then shouted at his teammates: "If you don't blow the whistle, you must continue the game!"

He was complaining about Vidal and Chiellini - at that time Chiellini patronized to raise his hand to the referee to signal that Raul Garcia had fouled, but failed to rush up to block Gao Zheng at the first time, giving Gao Zheng kicked the chance to shoot.

As the game progressed, Juventus felt more and more that this game was difficult to play, and it was difficult for them to stop the threatening attack.

Facing Atletico Madrid's fierce pressing and frantic physical confrontation on the verge of fouling, Juventus played very hard.

Pogba, a young genius who has grown into the core of the offense in Juventus, seems very uncomfortable under Atletico Madrid's "pack of wolves". Surrounded, and then a chaotic fight, he lost possession of the ball.

On the other hand, Atlético Madrid took advantage of this fierce pressing to make the offense more impressive. Many times they could directly steal the ball from Juventus in the frontcourt, and then turn around and invest in the offense. The offensive and defensive switching speed is very fast, and there will be no situation where other teams don’t know how to play after stealing the ball in the frontcourt. Everyone is mentally prepared, which is obviously the result of targeted training.

This tactic made the Juventus players very unhappy. Juventus coach Allegrini also protested to the fourth official on the sidelines several times, telling him that Atletico Madrid's actions were too rude, and the referee should come out. Cards control the situation.

But whenever a Juventus player protests that an Atletico Madrid player is too hard, there will be boos from the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands-why don’t you let the referee come out to preside over Vidal’s handball? What is fair?

Gao Zheng ran forward as Atletico Madrid attacked from the wing again and Arda Turan passed the ball in.

It all looked like his first heel shot. This time Chiellini and Caceres, the two Juventus central defenders, did not dare to neglect, and at the same time blocked from two directions. A little bit on the inside after anti-Gaozheng stopped the ball and got rid of it, and the other shot from the heel of anti-Gaozheng a little behind.

After all, they can't always expect to send someone to lie in front of the goal and use their hands to block Gao Zheng's shot, can they? Vidal was able to escape last time, doesn't it mean he can escape this time?

But what they didn't expect was that Gao Zheng didn't intend to catch the ball at all. He rushed forward and made a movement of swinging his feet, but let the football pass between his legs!

"Eh? Skipped the ball?!"

The football passed by Arda Turan passed under Gao Zheng's crotch and came near the penalty spot in the middle.

Because all of Juventus' defensive attention was taken away by Gao Zheng who was resolutely going forward, this place was a little empty!

"Griezmann—!!"

In the roar of Jose Maria, the French striker slammed the horse and shot the football directly to the goal without stopping the ball!

The Atlético Madrid fans in the stands and in front of the TV are ready to jump up and cheer.

But the Juventus goalkeeper Buffon, who was also taken to the front point of the block, appeared directly in front of the football. He reached out and patted the football shot by Griezmann. The football bounced back and fell to the ground and jumped up again. Vidal, who also retreated to the front of the goal, kicked it out with his foot—this time with his foot—and made a successful clearance!

"My God! Buffon made a shocking save! He unexpectedly appeared where he should not have been, and blocked Griezmann's shot! He saved Juventus again! "

This time even Jose Maria exclaimed again and again: "Buffon! Buffon! Oh! Can you believe this is a goalkeeper who is thirty-six years old can make a save? His reaction is quick Like twenty-six years old!"

It was Griezmann's turn to hold his head in his hands and knelt in the Juventus penalty area. He stared at the goal with unbelievable eyes, and it was hard to believe that his shot was thrown out.

He admitted that the shot was indeed too close to the middle, but considering that Buffon had been taken to the front by Gao Zheng, the middle goal was wide open. Be sure to hit the football within the range of the goal frame, and you should all score goals. That's why he didn't think about kicking the football backwards.

As a result, Buffon seized the only chance to catch the ball and blocked the football out of the door.

When the save was replayed in slow motion, CCTV commentator He Ping and guest commentator Xu Yang were also amazed at Buffon's save: "...In fact, Gao Zheng's running position is very clever, which has attracted most Juventus players. Buffon also followed to get closer to the players' attention... And Gao Zheng's miss was really a finishing touch. No one thought that he would miss the ball... No, look carefully, Buffon seems to be in Before Zheng missed the ball, he was ready to move to the middle - he guessed that Gao Zheng was going to miss the ball! What a terrible predictive ability..."

Xu Yang said: "This is the ability brought about by super rich experience... Buffon really deserves to be the top goalkeeper in the world. This reflects the prediction... Tsk tsk. This is not good news for Gao Zheng Ah, if Buffon is in this state, it will be even more difficult to break his door!"

Gao Zheng in the Calderon Stadium is also looking at Buffon.

Buffon grinned at him and then blinked.

It felt like provoking Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng also smiled back at Buffon.
