Chapter 144: The Veteran Will Not Die!
The Juventus team is known for its stability, which is a team trait.
Long-term stability, but lack of passion at critical moments.
Whether it's Lippi's first and second phases, Capello's period, Team Kong, and Uncle Jiong are similar.
They are too stable, causing this team to always lack blood and recklessness when playing football, which is also one of the factors why they cannot win in key games.
But in this game, they seemed to have broken through the shackles, the lost enthusiasm returned, and they fought extraordinarily fiercely, forming a stark contrast in the first half.
Fighting to this level has put aside the tactical level, and the two teams are fighting with will.
In this regard, Tottenham have always been unique. After all, they are a team composed of a group of young people. They have never had honors, so they are more motivated to fight.
But at this moment, Juventus woke up.
The 30-year-old veterans are no longer muddled, bursting into hemorrhagic bursts, and playing extraordinarily resolutely.
…
Before the game started, Buffon called Dybala over and said: "We want to attack, you don't need to defend, believe me, I will defend the goal, we need to attack!"
Buffon said with a solemn face, compared with the young players, that old face is also extraordinarily stable.
"Your body?" Dybala frowned.
Buffon is 40 years old. Compared with the young goalkeeper, his body is already overwhelmed. In this kind of high-intensity game, if there is no stricter defense, Buffon's goal alone... ..
"Believe me!" Buffon said with a smile: "I have guarded this goal for 17 years. I need the Champions League, and we also need this honor. You can attack boldly and leave the defense to us."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and returned to the goal line, and shouted to everyone in the back line: "Cheer up, score another goal!!"
Roar! ! ! ! ! !
Perhaps it was an incentive to score, and the Juventus players were bursting with confidence.
When the game started again and the Tottenham players looked over, the eyes of the Juventus players changed.
That is a desire for victory!
Desperate to protect the eyes of honor!
"This game is difficult to play." Ibrahimovic said with his lips pursed.
He had seen this look when he was at AC Milan, when Juventus fought back and reversed the game.
Many years have passed, but at the last moment, this team still exploded with an amazing desire to win!
…
The football is out, and Tottenham's offense is still extremely impactful.
Perhaps it was Juventus' goal that stimulated them, and their style of play became more aggressive and arrogant.
Juventus' defense was also prepared, but they did not expect that Tottenham's offense was so strong.
After Yi Le got the ball in the middle circle, he didn't transfer it, but dribbled it quickly and headed towards the penalty area.
Before approaching the penalty area, Yi Le distributed the ball to the left. Higuain got the ball, but did not make a breakthrough. Instead, he observed from the spot and knocked the ball to Yi Le again.
Yi Le took the ball again, and Pjanic rushed over, but before the collision, Yi Le distributed the ball to the right.
I dodged lightly to avoid being hit again.
Pjanic's defense failed, and he quickly ran back to make up for it.
Dele Ali slowly approached, but still couldn't find a good angle. Suddenly, he saw Ibrahimovic walking out of the penalty area, and the next second he suddenly started, directly stabbing Enter the restricted area.
At this moment, he pulled away from the defender.
Ali's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, he passed the ball directly with one kick.
Ibrahimovic took off suddenly, he is bound to win this top battle!
"Danger!!!!--"
The Italian narrator stood up in horror.
All eyes are on Ibrahimovic.
Seeing the ball getting closer, Ibrahimovic leaned back and used the strength of his waist to pull back suddenly.
For this ball, he has confidence!
Just at the moment of lightning and flint, a figure rushed over like a cheetah, before Ibrahimovic hit the ball fiercely with both fists.
"Buffon!!!!!!!" The Italian commentator looked at this beautiful commentary in surprise.
At the critical moment, Buffon saved Juventus.
The moment Dele Ali kicked, Buffon had already abandoned the goal. His judgment was extremely precise, and he hammered the ball out with both fists without hesitation.
After landing, Buffon yelled at his stunned teammates on both sides: "Defend!!"
Only then did the Juventus defenders come to their senses, and quickly shrunk their defensive line, sweating profusely. The pass just now scared them so much that they almost peed their pants.
The ball was pushed out and just landed in the area controlled by Yi Le.
Yi Le watched Buffon running towards the goal, and he felt that this was an opportunity.
He decisively ran to the landing point, and when the ball rebounded low, he dragged his right foot skillfully under the ball, and the football flew high...
Buffon was facing the court and backed away. He naturally saw Yi Le's movements, and saw his pupils shrunk.
Portal? ! ! !
Buffon ran back desperately, and when he was close to the goal, he jumped up with all his strength, raised his right hand high, stared at the falling ball, and gave a light hook with his right hand.
Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The Tottenham fans at the scene hugged their heads, didn't they score this goal?
Is this old guy on drugs?
Seeing the ball being hooked out, Buffon finally heaved a sigh of relief. He fell to the ground hard and groaned.
But before he could slow down, the terrified voices of his teammates came again.
"Be careful!!!--"
Buffon lay on the ground and looked over. The ball fell at Ibrahimovic's feet. At this time, he was making final adjustments and was ready to make another shot.
boom! ! !
The ball flew out like a cannonball, but because of the angle, he could only hope for a miracle.
Buffon didn't care too much at this time, he turned over and knelt on the ground, opened his arms wide, and expanded the defensive area to the largest extent, hoping to block the goal.
snort! ! !
The ball hit Buffon's chest hard, and with a muffled groan, it rebounded again.
This time, the ball did not fly far and landed in front of Buffon.
Regardless of the suffocating pain, he lunged forward, holding the ball tightly with both hands.
.....
"World class saves!! Crazy Buffon!! He denied Tottenham three shots in a row, this moment he doesn't look like a 40-year-old veteran, he is that Juventus goalkeeper!! Buffon! Buffon Buffon!" The Italian commentator got up excitedly and roared.
In the arena, both Tottenham and Juventus fans were shocked.
Buffon's three saves are so critical, it's hard to believe that this is an action that a 40-year-old veteran can make.
Buffon stood up while holding him, his eyes were piercing, and he felt that the game was in good shape.
It has been 17 years, from young player Buffon to veteran Buffon, whether the team won the Serie A hegemony consecutively or was relegated due to the "Telephone Gate" scandal that year, he has always guarded Juventus' goal.
For him, a Champions League trophy is the only regret in his career!
He wanted this honor, so he never retired.
Now, the Champions League final is only one step away, he is not reconciled, he does not want to just give up!
What about 40 years old? His skill is still nimble, he can make all kinds of saves, he is still that world-class goalkeeper!
He has the belief that he must win, for this reason, he will stick to the goal!
Veterans don't die! !
