Chapter 79 Who is more experienced?
After Gao Zheng scored a goal, Juventus tried to counterattack, but in the face of Atletico Madrid's close-fitting short-strike tactics, they played very uncomfortable and could not stop their more effective offensive. Instead, they were also aroused by Atletico Madrid's style of playing and lost patience.
They didn't have any chance at all. The best chance to equalize the score occurred in the 80th minute, when Pereira passed the ball from the right, Lichsteiner broke into the penalty area and made a cross from the right, Atletico Madrid player Raul Garcia tackled the ball at the front point, but the football rolled out of the bottom line against the close post.
There was almost an own goal!
The Atletico Madrid fans in the stands were so scared that Gao Zheng finally helped the team to take the lead. In the end, if they gave up the victory because of an own goal, they would not be able to stand it.
Raul Garcia was also very scared after getting up.
But this is the closest Juventus has ever scored a goal.
Most of the other times, they were unable to even threaten Atletico Madrid's goal, and were completely restrained by Atletico Madrid's tactics.
As the game approached, the Juventus players became more and more impatient. In the 85th minute, Atletico Madrid full-back Ansaldi protected the ball in the corner flag area. As a result, Juventus player Lichsteiner made a foul and received a yellow card.
Seeing that the Juventus players were moving more and more, Simeone also made quick adjustments, and he replaced Gao Zheng, the only goal for the team, with Mario Suarez.
There is not much left to the end of the game now, and the effect of replacing Gao Zheng is not great.
When Gao Zheng was out of the field, the Atletico Madrid fans stood up and gave him applause and cheers.
He Ping was very moved to see this scene: "What should I do if I want to win the respect of others in a foreign country? Show them politeness, humility and kindness? These are all fine, but in the final analysis, you have to speak with your personal strength. There is no doubt that Gao Zheng has conquered this stadium and won the love of these fans. This kind of respect is won by him one by one!"
Caresa sighed a little: "Recalling that when he was at the Malasi Stadium, there was such a scene every time. This Chinese young man who loves to laugh always won the love of fans as quickly as possible. No matter where he goes, I think this is his superpower, right?"
Porata in front of the TV nodded vigorously: "Yes, superpowers! He is a superhero!"
Jose Maria said: "Gao was replaced by Simeone, listen to the cheers and applause! I have said before that this Chinese player may become Calderon's pride in the future. But I was wrong. I think he is becoming Calderon's pride!"
In the stands, Daniel Herrera was surrounded by fans who were applauding and cheering for Gao Zheng. He turned his head to look at them, without saying anything, and without standing ovation.
He was expressing his protest in this way. It was just that resisters like him were getting fewer and fewer in the stands of this stadium, so fewer that they were almost ignored.
His companions no longer advised him to support Gao Zheng and cheer for Gao Zheng because they no longer cared about his opinion.
Whether Gao Zheng is worthy of their support and their love, Daniel's words have no influence.
After Gao Zheng left the court, judging from the development of the game, it was correct for Simeone to replace Gao Zheng.
Juventus center Morata, who had just been replaced, kicked down Ardatulan in the game and was warned by a yellow card. Juventus received two yellow cards in just two minutes.
During the injury stoppage time, Pogba fouled against Miranda and was also warned by a yellow card.
In the last moment, Juventus striker Joe Wenke deliberately handballed and received a yellow card.
In general, the final stage of the game was basically spent in the crazy fouls and card-taking of Juventus players. Oh, and the storm-like booing of Atletico Madrid fans, these booings were of course given to Juventus who were fouled.
Although Juventus players committed fouls, they still failed to equalize the score.
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Jose Maria sarcastically said: "Congratulations to Juventus, I have won the first failure of the season! But this failure should have been no suspense..."
He is ridiculing Bruchy for missing Juventus' handball in the penalty area twice.
Caresa did not hide the fact that the two handballs were not judged: "It must be said that this failure was not a very unexpected thing for Juventus. Judging from this game, they were suppressed by Atletico Madrid almost the whole game, and there was no good chance that there was no shot within the goal frame in the whole game. It was proved that if the referee had not raised his hand, the score of this game might not be just 0:1... Buffon performed very well, but he encountered Gao, who performed better. Unexpectedly, after leaving Sampdoria, the competition between Buffon and Gao continued..."
"I think that when tomorrow, the media will be full of discussions about this game, and Gao Zheng will definitely become the focus. But this is no longer something worth discussing and paying attention to. We are used to Gao Zheng making the front pages of major European media after each game, and being hotly discussed on the Internet, being used to his goal video being played repeatedly, and being used to him becoming the most dazzling star... And I think this habit is a sign of our confidence improvement. We will not worry that Gao Zheng is just a flash in the pan, nor will we worry that Gao Zheng will be scolded for being scolded if he is not good..." He Ping said.
Xu Yang added next to him: "And this habit was still something that I didn't even dare to think about it three years ago!"
"Yes. Now this scene really looks like a scene depicted in science fiction."
The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.
After the game, Juventus coach Allegri believed at a press conference that the team lost because of Atletico Madrid's close-kick foul tactics, which made his players very uncomfortable and unable to perform normally.
"... Everyone told us that Atletico Madrid is a team that is good at doing this, and their games are always full of controversy. I didn't know what was going on before, but today I have a personal experience. I think they are right. They play rudely, they have a lot of experience in this area, and know how to deal with the referee..."
After hearing Allegri's words conveyed by reporters, Simeone laughed: "I don't know what Juventus is qualified to say this. I only know that the fouls in this game are twenty-one times, and Juventus has twenty-eight times, more than us. Uncle Zhang, we got two yellow cards, and Juventus has got six, more than us. And they have two handballs in the penalty area, but more than us. I think in what Allegri said, Juventus is obviously more experienced than us."
