Chapter 401 Adjustment of the back line

After the football crawled under his crotch, Aubonner reflexively wanted to close his legs, but he forgot to clamp his arms and hands with his back, so he failed to maintain his balance and fell to the ground again...

He fell to the ground and turned around and saw goalkeeper Stolari who was also lying on the ground, and the football in the goal behind him.

Sampdoria finally opened a breakthrough in him...

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng opened his arms and turned around and ran towards his teammates, hugging them to celebrate the goal, without even looking at Aubonner again.

Aubonner now remembered Gao Zheng's smile. He was wondering why the other party could still laugh when he had missed a great scoring opportunity.

Now he understands why the other party can still laugh because he is confident of scoring another goal!

※※※

The cheers at the Malasi Stadium were deafening. Although there were many doubts and concerns about Sampdoria's insistence on playing in the Italian Cup before the game, when it was true that when they saw their team take the lead, everyone could not help but cheer and were happy for the team.

After all, Juventus doubled Sampdoria in the league, and it was quite happy to be able to make up for it in the Italian Cup.

As for what to do next, I will consider this kind of thing after the competition.

If you fail to advance to the next round in the end, wouldn’t it be funny to think too much now?

Di Francesco has a completely different idea from the fans. He knows exactly what to face if Juventus is eliminated, but he is ready.

He will never give up on this event easily before reaching the finals.

So after Gao Zheng scored, he seemed very excited.

Conte next door had a cunning face and his expression was ugly.

The last thing he wanted to encounter when playing Sampdoria was that Sampdoria scored a goal first, and Sampdoria would definitely give full play to their defensive counterattack.

His previous ominous premonition became reality.

In the last game, Sampdoria had absolutely no such performance when she played against Juventus. Whether it was the player's mentality or tactics, now it seems that Sampdoria in the last game did not take that game seriously at all... They have been planning this game since then!

None of the outside world’s statements about Sampdoria wanting to give up the Italian Cup decently!

However, Conte had no time to consider these things. The most important issue facing him now is that Sampdoria clearly saw that the biggest weakness on Juventus' defense line was Aubonna. So should we make up for the loss and replace Aubonna in advance?

But if Obonner is replaced now, will it have a negative impact on the player's future development?

After thinking about it, Conte made up his mind and would not change it now.

Even if you have to change, you have to wait until the intermission.

Now the first half has only been in more than twenty minutes and the blow is too big. The adjustment of substitutions during the halftime break is still within the normal range.

As for the possible risks of keeping Aubonner, Conte also made corresponding adjustments and asked Isla to retreat to the right back position to assist Aubonner in defense.

Originally, Isla played as a full-back, but under Juventus' three-center-back system, he could only be pushed up to play as a full-back.

Now he has returned to his original position.

First, the first half will be over, and the specific adjustments will be implemented until the halftime break.

Soon the commentators saw Conte's adjustment.

Isla was withdrawn, and when Gao Zheng faced Obonner again, Isla would come to help Obonner defend.

Although this arrangement made Obonner know that the head coach was worried about him, he had no choice but to let him score a goal just by Gao Zheng?

He no longer thinks about opportunities and challenges.

There are huge risks in this kind of thing, and failure is natural.

Now he only hopes that he will not make any mistakes in the first half and is more cautious when defending Gao Zheng.

It's not his turn to consider the next thing, such as when Juventus can pull the score back and when can the reversal be completed...

And to be honest, since Juventus concedes the ball, the offensive has become even stronger, putting more pressure on Sampdoria, and the opponent's counterattack has not been as sharp as before.

Many times, Aubonner couldn't even see Gao Zheng.

Juventus' offensive was indeed very fierce during this period. In order to withstand Juventus' attack, Sampdoria had to retreat at all, and there was no decent threatening counterattack at all.

They sacrificed their offense, but the result was not bad. Until the end of the first half, the score was not rewritten.

"After the half-time game, Sampdoria temporarily led Juventus with one goal at home. After Gao scored, the game entered the defensive counterattack stage that Sampdoria was used to and good at... But there are still 45 minutes left in the game, so it is still very dangerous if you blindly defend. I want me to say, if Gao's goal happened more than twenty minutes after the second half, it would be better. Now... Conte will definitely make adjustments at the halftime break, let's wait and see the second half!"

The spiked shoes made a clattering sound on the marble floor, then sat down in his locker room, pulled the shoelaces open, and his feet staggered to put the sneakers down. The shoes made a sound when they collided with the ground.

Then there was only a heavy breathing sound.

Until someone sat next to him, comforted him: "Don't take it to heart, that's not your fault, Angelo."

Obonner looked up with a sad face, looked at his teammate Pirlo who came up to comfort him, and said in a crying voice: "I'm sorry..."

Pirlo held him into his arms: "Don't say that, Angelo. I said, that's not your problem, you've done a good job. No one will blame you, after all, you're facing high."

In the two league matches last season, Gao Zheng faced Chiellini, Barzali, Bonucci and Buffon's main level defense line, and he still scored five goals...

Five goals in two games, what does that mean?

Juventus only conceded twenty-four goals that season, and on Gao Zheng alone, he lost more than one-fifth of the goal in the whole season.

Why should I ask the young man, Obonner, to do that thing that even a world-class defense line cannot do?

So no one will blame him for blaming him. But now in front of everyone, it is hard to say whether Pirlo has such a direct face to Barzali and Bonucci?

So he could only say tactfully: "After all, you are facing Gao."

The league's top scorer last season broke the single-season goal record since the establishment of Serie A and even before. He scored a goal. What's so sad? Isn't it normal...

Although Pirlo comforted Obonner, he said that losing the ball was not his responsibility.

However, as the head coach, you should not be rude at this time. Even if Obonner looks pitiful, Conte still made adjustments to the defender during the midfield break for the overall interests of the team.

He replaced Aubonne with Chiellini.

Aubonner could only accept this result with his head down and did not dare to have any objection.

He even felt relieved and finally no longer had to face that terrible guy in the game.

He and Gao Zheng had fought in the second division, but every time they met again, he felt that this person was even more terrifying than last time.

Everyone is making progress. He has made progress from Turin to Juventus. Although Gao Zheng is still in Sampdoria, his progress is obviously greater.

After Chiellini appeared, in addition to the goalkeeper position, Juventus' defense line was basically the strongest combination.
