"This is the situation again, I knew it"

Looking at the Sheffield United generals who gathered under the visiting team fans' stand to celebrate, Tevez scratched his head and felt quite relieved.

He is not too pessimistic, but after Sheffield United formed a suppressive attack against Juventus, the familiar sense of oppression made him dream of returning to the Premier League.

In this situation, it was really difficult for him not to assume that Sheffield United would score first.

Being under such pressure all the time is not conducive to his performance. Now that Sheffield United has really scored, he feels much more relaxed.

It's the same as he was at Manchester City.

After Sheffield United scored the first goal, I felt less burdened.

It is always better to let go and perform than to worry and speculate all the time. Anyway, the worst case scenario is losing. What else can you do if you don't fight?

Tevez comforted himself. He had a lot of experience playing against Sheffield United, so he quickly adjusted his mentality.

But other Juventus players are not as open-minded as he is.

We conceded a goal at home and fell behind in the first 20 minutes, but Sheffield United still managed to score a goal. It was not a lucky goal.

Such a result can only mean one thing, that is, their defensive system did not play its due role.

And this is the most unacceptable situation for Juventus players who have dominated Serie A with their defense in the past two seasons!

If you say that the offense is not strong enough to threaten Sheffield United's defense, then these Juventus players will accept it.

However, their most proud defense suffered a defeat. A complete defense line failed to guard Sheffield United's two offensive players!

Not to mention that the collapse of faith is so serious, but in terms of confidence, Juventus players have indeed suffered a big blow at this moment.

Bonucci's mind is still blank even now.

In a confrontation, he was directly knocked down by Li Mo, and once his speed was exploded, he was unable to block the defensive position, allowing Li Mo to successfully score the goal.

Since transferring to Juventus, he has never suffered such a disadvantage. He was really beaten in personal confrontation!

His proud foot skills, positioning sense and overall view had no room to be used in the first 20 minutes.

He can already imagine how the fans outside will evaluate him at this moment.

The sarcasm and ridicule that seemed to have materialized flashed through his mind one by one, making his face look a little ugly.

Fortunately, Chiellini saw that something was wrong with Bonucci, and a low drink brought Bonucci back to his senses.

The more mature Barzagli gave some words of advice, and Bonucci himself had a big heart, so he himself was able to recover.

Buffon was annoyed, and now he was also shouting to cheer up his teammates.

Bonucci Buffon is actually not too worried. He is a friendly teammate, but also thick-skinned. He was stunned for a moment, but there will be no mental problems.

However, only emphasizing spiritual encouragement cannot cure the root cause. Sheffield United's style of play makes Juventus very uncomfortable, and Conte still needs to think more about tactics.

Thinking of this, Buffon also turned his head and glanced at the sidelines.

At this moment, Conte was holding the assistant coach and making gestures, not knowing what they were discussing.

Juventus' home fans, like Buffon, are now placing most of their hopes on Conte, hoping that the former Juventus captain can make timely adjustments.

But now Conte is not as confident as he showed.

In fact, Conte was just making a gesture to stabilize the mentality of the players on the court.

To make tactical adjustments, it is easy to open your mouth, but when it comes to actual operations, it is not so easy to decide to make substitutions.

Being on-the-spot was not Conte's strong suit, and he was so troubled by falling behind early that he had no choice but to rope in his assistant to discuss it further.

Speed ​​on the other side had no such worries. He was even in the mood to help Conte deduce some tactical adjustments.

As far as the players on the Juventus bench are concerned, the ones most capable of playing are Llorente and Marchisio.

Llorente is a typical big center. He is tall, has enough tonnage, and although his speed and flexibility are shortcomings, he is an excellent frontcourt fulcrum.

Compared to Vucinic, who is not in good shape, Llorente is obviously a better starting candidate on the front line.

If Speed ​​was the coach of Juventus, he would only choose to start with Llorente to partner Tevez.

Even if Llorente and Maguire blow up one-on-one, at least Tevez will have more room to play.

And with such a big center in the frontcourt, you also have a stable receiving point when you play long-pass counterattacks, right?

It's better than both Tevez and Vucinic being restricted.

Let’s talk about Marchisio.

This is also the player that Speed ​​thinks Conte is most likely to replace here.

The reason is very simple. Marchisio has a good sense of position, and his balanced attributes and hard-working character allow him to help Pirlo share the organizational pressure very well.

It's not that Vidal is not good, Vidal's performance on both offense and defense is very impressive.

But Juventus is now being snatched away by Sheffield United. Not to mention advancing in the midfield, they can't even defend well. The organization in the backcourt is a mess. Vidal is not as good as Marchisio.

After all, we have to straighten out the ball-passing routes in the midfield and backcourt. Pirlo is naturally easy to target, but if you add Marchisio and a dual-core backcourt, wouldn't this problem be temporarily solved?

These are all possible responses that Sheffield United's coaching team had expected Juventus to make before the game. Speed ​​didn't think they could think of anything that Juventus' coaching team wouldn't think of.

Therefore, after joking in his mind, Speed ​​also stared at Juventus' bench, waiting for Marchisio to come out to warm up, and then he made adjustments and moved forward.

But after waiting for a long time, the game restarted, and Speed ​​didn't see any movement from Juventus' bench.

"Do you think Conte is deceiving me? Is he waiting for me to make the move first and then make adjustments?"

Speed ​​asked the assistant coach uncertainly whether Conte's unadjusted operation at this moment would mess him up.

Most of the Sheffield United players on the field didn't care that much. It would have been better if Juventus didn't adjust. They continued to press and wait for them to score another goal. Then the overall situation was decided.

Only Li Mo is clear in his heart. Juventus players may want to change their formations to compete with Sheffield United, but Conte.

No, it’s Kong Er, he’s not a cup match material!

"Lao Kong has not seen much improvement in his knowledge of on-the-spot adjustments ten years later, let alone now. He is naturally suited to lead a team in the league, and European wars are not suitable for him."

Li Mo made a conclusion for Conte, and then called on his teammates to continue pressing forward.

The watershed of this game was when Sheffield United scored the second goal.

Especially when Conte is unable to play Llorente, given Juve's constipated attacking ability, trying to storm Sheffield United's defense to chase points is simply a fantasy.

Therefore, a two-goal lead is relatively safe. If this advantage can be achieved in the first half, Speed ​​will be able to make bold substitutions in the second half to take precautions.

It's not that Speed ​​wants to take the risk and call it quits early. The main reason is that the schedule is tighter and he has to consider the physical fitness of several core players.

After all, after the game tonight, the whole Sheffield United team can fly back to Sheffield tomorrow, but they will have to face Manchester United at home the afternoon after tomorrow.

The rotating players have enough preparation time, but the starting players who played in the Champions League today only have one day of preparation time in addition to one day of required rest time.

Therefore, Speed ​​can only find a balance point so that several core players can save more physical fitness.

Of course, Li Mo is not included in this list. The person Speed ​​can rely on most is Li Mo.

Who allowed him to recover his physical strength enough? Speed ​​would naturally have to put more burdens on him in multi-front operations.

Bale and Neymar know that they will not have much time to perform today, so there is no way to preserve their physical strength and condition.

He immediately turned on all the firepower, continued to hold the ball and put out all the energy, and suppressed Juventus for a long time.

However, no matter how fierce the offensive is, there will always be a time when it temporarily subsides.

Juventus' players were also holding back their anger. As soon as they caught the opportunity for Sheffield United's offense to relax a little, they quickly pushed the defense out.

Pirlo breathed a sigh of relief. In the first half, he was targeted by Sheffield United in various ways in terms of offensive organization and was forced to devote his energy to follow the defense. This time he finally had some room to perform.

Under his control, Juventus' formation also expanded.

The players on both wings were able to cross the half court many times, and Vidal and Pogba finally had the opportunity to advance with the ball.

Conti's anxious heart gradually relaxed.

It seemed that he had withstood the fiercest moment of Sheffield United's offensive, and he could barely tolerate conceding a goal.

As long as Juventus' midfield trio operates normally, Juventus will still have a chance.

Speed ​​was not in a hurry. It seemed that Juventus was about to launch a counterattack. He simply adjusted his tactics to prevent counterattacks first, allowing Juventus to mobilize more players.

Pogba's excellent dribbling and long passing abilities were well demonstrated at this moment.

Although Speed ​​doesn't like Pogba's investment on the defensive end, he still has to praise the previous sentence.

In terms of offense, this kid does have super talent, and Sir Alex Ferguson's repeated pity for him is not in vain.

The free technical moves and the cool long-pass scheduling are full of talents in Speed's opinion.

And now Pogba can learn more from Pirlo.

Apart from anything else, if Pogba can really learn some of the essence of Pirlo in terms of organization, then he will make a lot of money.

In general, Speed ​​already agrees with half of Li Mo's "super midfielder" evaluation.

Pogba's physical and technical talents are enough to support Speed's next transformation of him. Although the final result of the transformation is hard to say, Speed ​​is really interested.

The shortcomings mentioned by Ferguson are not unacceptable to Speed.

He has enough energy and patience and has time to wear down Pogba's temper.
