Needless to say, Juventus' defensive ability is nothing more than conceding only four goals from the group stage to the final, two of which were conceded in the group stage. This means that Juventus only conceded two goals in six knockout games. This shows how good Juventus' overall defensive ability is. outstanding. Bookmark this site┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛
Although the overall strength gap between Juventus and Real Madrid is obvious, football matches are never determined by strength. Juventus proved through the game that the goal they conceded in the first half was purely accidental, so Real Madrid spent most of the first half The game was always going strong and scoreless, including at the beginning of the second half.
Countless Juventus people firmly believe that the team they support will draw with Real Madrid within the regular 90 minutes, and there may even be a quick counterattack to reverse Real Madrid, thereby realizing their wish to defeat Real Madrid in the 90 minutes.
But... when Real Madrid's overall offense was helpless, Tang Zheng stood up and told everyone what the role of a star is!
In the 57th minute of the game, Tang Zheng's through ball in the open game was blocked by Bonucci. However, the ball bounced back and unfortunately flew towards Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng concentrated on holding his breath and pushed the ball forward with his chest. As soon as he stepped forward, he followed up with a powerful and heavy volley with his right foot.
The shot was more than 30 meters away from the goal, but the fans sitting in front of the TV could see through live TV that the football hit the goal with lightning speed and an extremely violent aura. Juventus goalkeeper Buffon reacted very quickly , but compared to the running speed of football, it is still slightly slower by half a beat.
The football hit the snow-white net, and Buffon's right fingertips came belatedly, only touching a sliver of air as the football passed through.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
The Real Madrid fans at the Millennium Stadium jumped up, raised their arms high above their heads, and launched waves of huge cheers, turning the entire stadium into a sea of joy for them all.
In sharp contrast are the Juventus fans. They were very happy with the team's performance after equalizing the score. They have even begun to write a script. In their script, Juventus can withstand Real Madrid's tidal wave of offensive, and then Higuain, Dybala, Mandzukic and other players produced world-class performances to defeat Real Madrid.
The script is good, but it lacks feasibility.
In other words, the players who have high hopes from Juventus fans have never performed convincingly on the offensive end.
From falling behind to equalizing, and then from drawing to falling behind, this had a huge psychological impact on the Juventus players, especially for coach Allegri. He stood in the visiting team coach's command area with his hands folded and his brows furrowed. Eyes trained on worried players.
No matter how good the tactics are,
All require players to execute, and the most critical point is that players need to be confident in the future.
If the game continues in this bad mood, let alone equalizing the score, it is even possible to concede another goal.
So Allegri called Pjanic to the sidelines and gave him face-to-face instructions.
At the same time, Real Madrid coach Zidane also called right back Carvajal to the sidelines to explain some things.
This scene happened to be captured by the on-site director. Central 5 commentator He Wei changed his voice: "Real Madrid once again surpassed the game with Tang Zheng's world wave. Allegri and Zidane pulled a player to the sidelines at the same time. We It is easy to guess that they are making adjustments for the next game, but specific adjustments can only be analyzed through the game..."
Countless fans sitting in front of the TV rolled their eyes, obviously dissatisfied with He Wei, because... he said it as if he didn't say it.
Meaningless!
When the game restarted, the Juventus players seemed to have recovered from their bad mood and quickly launched a wave of threatening offensive, which was finally completed by Dybala.
Navas was very focused and lifted the football over the crossbar with one hand, giving Juventus a corner kick.
The Juventus fans in the stands turned their depression into surprise and regained confidence in the game.
They firmly believe that Dybala is not a flash in the pan, but has found his best game state!
Allegri thought so too. He clenched his fists and cheered for the team he coached in his heart.
In fact?
Juventus also threatened Navas with a shot after the restart, and then Real Madrid took over the game again, forcing the confident Juventus players to retreat into their own half.
Conceding another goal and falling behind by one goal, Juventus players chose the latter.
Falling behind by one goal still has hope of equalizing, but falling behind by two goals may mean that it is extremely difficult to come back.
It's indeed a good idea to be cautious, but it's difficult to guard against Real Madrid when they're on the offensive.
Tang Zheng handed the ball to Modric who was involved in the attack while retreating. The latter played one-two with right back Carvajal twice in a row. Modric came to the right rib of the attack and was close to the baseline. There was a pause about twenty meters away, and at the same time he dunked the football to the left on the inside of the instep of his right foot. Sandro ignored Carvajal and did not follow through.
Modric passed a very concealed pass in the opposite direction with the outside instep of his right foot. By the time Sandro realized what was happening, it was already too late. Carvajal, who was already at full speed, took the ball forward into the penalty area. Entering restricted areas.
Left center back Chiellini chose to cover up the defense under forced circumstances. In a blink of an eye, Juventus's stable defense had a loophole at this time.
While Carvajal was chasing the football out, he had enough time to observe the outflanking teammates in the penalty area.
Benzema and Bale occupied the front and center positions respectively, but Juventus had little defensive pressure. Bonucci and Barzagli followed them closely, entangled with each other.
Khedira, who returned to the penalty area, always felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.
At this moment, Carvajal passed an inverted triangle, and the football rolled from the right rib of the penalty area close to the baseline against the turf toward the penalty spot.
"Be careful Tang——"
Goalkeeper Buffon pointed at Tang Zheng behind Khedira and suddenly raised his voice.
It was only then that Khedira realized what was wrong with her just now.
Tang Zheng! !
Real Madrid's most threatening Tang Zheng was ignored by him! !
Khedira didn't have time to think too much. He started on the spot and tried to complete the rescue first.
As soon as Khedira stepped out with his right foot, a white figure flashed out from the right, and the football arrived just as promised. The Real Madrid fans at the Millennium Stadium once again raised their arms and shouted hysterically: "Ooooooooooooooooo-"
At the same time, a white figure appeared on the lower right side of the broadcast screen. The big Arabic numeral "10" behind it told everyone in front of the TV that Tang Zheng was going to grab some points!
Khedira subconsciously reached out to pull Tang Zheng down, but Tang Zheng was too fast, and Khedira only caught a ball of air.
Tang Zheng, who was running, raised his right foot, raised the knife with his hand, wrapped the inside of his right foot around the football, and completed a push shot.
The football rolled toward the lower right corner of the goal. Juventus goalkeeper Buffon wanted to make a save subconsciously, but his feet seemed to be stuck with glue and he made no move.
Of course, this is directly related to the fact that Tang Zheng's shooting distance is too close and the shooting angle is very tricky.
With his many years of goalkeeping experience, it can be easily judged that the save cannot be completed.
The football rolled against the turf toward the lower right corner of the goal, creating a wave of net waves.
"Goooooooooooooooooal——"
British Sky commentator Andy Gray drawled.
After scoring the goal, Tang Zheng opened his arms and avoided Barzagli and teammate Benzema. He ran all the way to the camera, raised his arms and shouted, and then started to celebrate with a lullaby under the cheers of the audience.
Six days ago, his little princess was born. Six days later, Tang Zheng, a first-time father, should celebrate his child in the field he is best at.
Central 5 commentator He Wei habitually shouted: "The ball is in! The ball is in! Tang Zheng's push helped Real Madrid score two goals in three minutes! Real Madrid led Juventus 3:1! He This goal is very likely to bring a championship to Real Madrid! The first European club team to win two triple crowns will be born from this!! Great moment! Great Tang Zheng! He fully deserves such praise, Well deserved!!”
"Ouch-ouch——"
The Real Madrid fans at the Millennium Stadium selflessly shouted loudly and were hysterical.
Zidane burst out with emotion in front of the home team's coaching bench. He jumped three feet high and then roared to the sky to vent the pressure caused by Tang Zheng scoring two goals in three minutes.
The impressive thing about Juventus is the defense rather than the offense, which means that Real Madrid, with a two-goal lead, will most likely win this Champions League final and be crowned the Champions League champion!
Thinking of the Triple Crown achievement, Zidane, who has had a very successful career, felt an inexplicable surge of energy from deep inside his heart, so he looked particularly excited when he appeared on the broadcast screen.
Just like in the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid players cooperated very well with Tang Zheng. They stood on both sides of Tang Zheng in a tacit understanding and vented the excitement of the goal with a lullaby celebration.
Immediately, the broadcast screen was shown to the Juventus players.
Higuain, Khedira, Buffon, Dybala, Mandzukic, Chiellini and other players all had sullen expressions on their faces, which was very unsightly.
They know that their overall strength is not as good as Real Madrid, and strong attacks are not what they are good at. After all, Real Madrid is not a lonely Serie A team that allows bullying, so it is very difficult to reverse Real Madrid when they are two goals behind.
The result seemed to be that the Juventus players seemed to have lost all fighting spirit at this moment.
But head coach Allegri is unwilling to give up easily. He believes that the team still has hope.
So, one minute later, Juventus made a substitution adjustment and replaced Dybala with Cuadrado, who performed poorly in the game.
Allegri announced to everyone in this way that as long as the performance is not good, anyone may be replaced.
However, Juventus, who replaced Dybala, also had a great decline in their technical ability in the frontcourt. Neither Cuadrado nor Mandzukic are players with particularly delicate skills at their feet. Higuain's coping ability is good, but his The characteristic after all is his ability to score goals in the penalty area.
Although Dybala did not perform particularly well when he was on the court, his presence made Real Madrid's defenders very fearful.
With Dybala off the court, the pressure on Real Madrid's backcourt players has dropped significantly.
Real Madrid itself has an absolute advantage, and now the pressure on the defense has dropped significantly. The offensive line led by Tang Zheng continues to pose threats to Juventus' defense.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"
The Real Madrid fans in the stands cheered one after another. They seemed to see that Real Madrid was likely to score the fourth goal of the game...
The game came to seventy minutes, and the score displayed on the scoreboard did not change.
It's not that Real Madrid won't score when they gain the upper hand, but that Real Madrid's offense controlled by Tang Zheng is heading towards control.
A two-goal lead is enough to ensure Real Madrid wins the game. Unless the opportunity is particularly good, they will not send threatening balls.
Dybala's exit has certainly reduced his ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt, but his counterattack ability has been greatly enhanced.
Colombian Cuadrado is known for his speed...
Therefore, Tang Zheng's choice to control the game was very correct. While maintaining control of the football, he could also consume the game time reasonably.
It was another two minutes of continuous possession of the ball. Cuadrado, who had not been able to touch the football for a long time, was a little anxious.
The backcourt teammates easily intercepted the football and sent long passes, but they were closer to the sideline, and Ramos was also stuck in position, making Cuadrado unable to make a move.
Ramos, who is experienced in the game, realized Cuadrado's impatience, so he had an idea and sought physical contact with Cuadrado while protecting the football.
Cuadrado was depressed after not being able to touch the football for a long time. Ramos continued to make small moves at angles that the assistant referee could not see. He pushed Ramos casually, but what he didn't expect was that Ramos actually hugged him. My right ankle rolled painfully on the ground...
German referee Brüsch blew his whistle and after communicating with the assistant referee, he decisively showed Cuadrado a yellow card.
You must know that Cuadrado has already received a yellow card for uprooting Tang Zheng when he came on as a substitute. This means that this is his second yellow card in this game.
Cuadrado, who was broadcasting the scene, subconsciously held his head and looked confused. He just pushed Ramos and got a yellow card...
Even though the slow-motion replay of the on-site director showed Cuadrado's innocence, the referee's decision could not be changed, so Cuadrado could only complain and was sent off. Juventus, who was two goals behind, had to fall into the trap. To the point of using less to defeat more.
Only then did Allegri realize that it was out of reach for the team to reverse Real Madrid.
Three minutes passed, which was the 79th minute of the game. Tang Zheng's through ball accurately found Bale who was diagonally inserted into the right rib of the penalty area. The latter was very calm when facing Buffon alone and completed a high-quality push shot with his left foot. , the ball rushed from between Buffon's legs into the goal that was no longer guarded.
4:1
With ten minutes left before the end of regular game time, Juventus fell behind by three goals.
Bell was celebrating his first goal in the Champions League final. Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted passionately: "Juventus, who had one less player to play, were unable to recover. Bell received Tang Zheng's through ball to kill the game! 4:1!! It’s only a matter of time before Real Madrid wins their third crown of the season!”
The game was just as Hevi said. Juventus, who were three goals behind and had one less player to play, gave up resistance. However, Real Madrid had no intention of continuing to score goals. The two sides seemed to be completing the task in tacit understanding during the remaining game time.
The score on the scoreboard did not change until Bruchy blew the final whistle.
4:1
Real Madrid defeated Juventus and won the UEFA Champions League in the 2016-2017 season, becoming the first European team to win two trebles.
