Green Journey

Chapter 539 No one can stop him!
In the locker room of the visiting team, the 2-1 halftime score made everyone in Manchester City a little dull, and there was no laughter in the locker room.

Foden glanced at Chu Zheng, who was leaning on the locker across the way, resting with a white towel covering his face, and looked at the stern-faced bosses in the locker room on the left and right. Under the influence of this somewhat dignified atmosphere, he also Lost the liveliness of the past.

Not long after the players returned to the locker room, Guardiola also walked in.

Seeing Chu Zheng take off the towel and look at him like everyone else, Guardiola with his hands in his pockets showed a smile and said, "Hurry up and rest, we'll talk about it later."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng leaned back against the cabinet again, closed his eyes and began to rest.

Others are like Chu Zheng, and some listen to music with headphones on. Everyone has their own way of resting and adjusting.

Seeing towels, jerseys, and other sundries thrown on the ground in the middle of the locker room, Guardiola remained silent, picked them up one by one with his head down, and threw them aside.

……

In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun had already begun to review the first half of the game for the fans.

"Compared to Manchester City's 3241 formation, Juventus' 343 is obviously more tacit. Especially in the movement of the ball in the midfield and the midfield, their tacit understanding is higher than that of Manchester City."

"Therefore, Manchester City did not take advantage of the same three-back formation."

"We can often see in the game that the three central defenders of Juventus opened the angle, Barzagli and Chiellini walked to the side, and Bonucci in the middle played the ball. In the midfield, the two central midfielders responded at the same time. , Dybala will also have greater running coverage and back and forth series."

"Under such circumstances, Manchester City's frontcourt attack group must oppress Juventus' three central defenders, and the midfield line must also be premised together."

"However, in the face of Juventus' skillful passing and tacit understanding to the bone, Manchester City's oppression obviously did not have much effect."

"As for Manchester City, they actually played very well on the offensive end in the first half."

"Through the first half of the game, we can clearly see that Guardiola wants to make a fuss on Juventus's right rib to break the surface."

"It worked, but not very well."

"Sane is very active on the wing today, but sometimes he and Chu Zheng are not at the same point. He can't keep up with Chu Zheng's thinking."

"So we can sometimes see Chu Zheng trying to speed up the pass rate from the flank to tear through Juventus' defense, but Sane is not in the position he should be."

After Zhang Lu finished speaking, Zhan Jun said, "That's true. In the first half, Manchester City also tried to strangle Juventus's midfielder in the midfield to contain Juventus' attack. They did it."

"But although Juventus' midfielder has some difficulty handling the ball, after returning to the defense line, their ability to play the ball still has a great advantage in their backcourt."

"Especially Bonucci and Chiellini. In the first half, under the counterattack launched by their precise guidance in the backcourt, Juventus directly penetrated Manchester City's defense many times. They showed the world a set of minimalism. A doctrine but extremely efficient defensive counterattack style."

"Juventus played very smoothly from a quick counterattack in the backcourt to a positional attack, to a transition through the midfield, and then to the reverse. Time to form an effective defensive system in the backcourt."

"..."

"As for the players, we have to say that Alves, the 34-year-old Brazilian veteran, is the best of the 22 players on the field."

"Indeed, in the two Champions League semi-finals, Alves scored 4 goals alone. This is the peak of his career in the Champions League."

"Although he is already too old, he has demonstrated his excellent defensive ability and offensive talent with practical actions."

"Based on his current performance, Alves can still be regarded as one of the best full-backs in football today."

"For Juventus, signing Alves with 0 transfer fee is really a treasure."

"In the last season of Barcelona, ​​Alves was ridiculed by the fans and the media for being old, and he could only pass without thinking, but no one could have imagined that he would be rejuvenated after coming to Juventus."

……

In the Manchester City locker room, after six or seven minutes, Guardiola looked at his watch. He took his hands out of his pockets and patted them twice. Suddenly, Chu Zheng and others collectively looked over.

"I know you guys are tired, but it's definitely a final and believe me, they're tired too."

"In the second half, on the defensive end, we need to defend aggressively."

"But being aggressive doesn't mean you have to play cards, it's important that your timing is right."

"I wish we were a little bit closer and more aggressive when marking people."

"Don't be afraid of fouls, the yellow card has no effect on the final."

After the words fell, Guardiola stopped for a few seconds and looked around everyone.

Immediately afterwards, he changed the topic and said: "Their formation on the defensive end is 442, and Alves and Mandzukic are very forward."

"So what we're going to do is drive them back."

"Kevin, you have to retreat deeper when defending. I don't want to see you stay in front again." Guardiola suddenly looked at De Bruyne beside Chu Zheng.

De Bruyne nodded immediately, while Chu Zheng held back a smile.

The two looked at each other.

There was something wrong with Guardiola today. He didn't come in like usual and shouted: "sit down, Nobody talk."

Guardiola didn't see the eye contact between the two. He gestured with both hands and continued: "When attacking, we need to find the space between their two lines."

"Be patient, be patient, don't worry, we still have plenty of time to equalize the score and even overtake the score."

"I need you to pass the ball with the fastest speed, send the ball to the wing, and don't be afraid of making mistakes."

After all, Guardiola glanced at Walker and Otamendi, and said: "Nicolas, Kyle, I need you to press a little more, we need to force them to defend in depth, so you must press, give them Apply enough pressure."

"Understood, head!" The two responded in unison.

After the words fell, Guardiola looked at Chu Zheng and De Bruyne again, and said: "Chu, Kevin, your task is to transfer, go straight."

"We just have to play the ball wide and pick up the tempo as fast as we can."

"Remember, don't waste too much time in the middle, what we need is to constantly transfer the ball from one side to the other."

"Believe me, as long as we attack faster than they can defend overall, the goals will come and we can beat them."

"Papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, papa, clap!" After the words fell, there was warm applause in the locker room.

After a while, Guardiola called Sane out of the locker room.

……

Not long after, players from both sides walked out of the channel one after another and returned to the field.

Soon, the camera saw the fourth official on the sidelines holding up a substitution sign.

No. 21 replaced No. 19.

"Silva replaced Sane." Zhan Jun was stunned.

"Then Chu Zheng may have to move on the left side more often. Silva has grown older in recent years, and his speed has not been as fast as before."

"Yes, if you want him to go up and down like Sane, it's completely embarrassing Silva."

On the sidelines, Allegri frowned when he saw Manchester City's substitution.

In the first half, Manchester City's offensive on the left was because Sane was unable to quickly catch and pass, which caused Manchester City to rarely break through the junction of their defense quickly.

In Allegri's view, Guardiola's substitution is very obvious. He just wants to improve the speed of passing and receiving in the frontcourt attack.

He has no doubts about David Silva's passing and organizational skills.

Thinking of Guardiola's extravagant move to pile up a super midfielder and three world-class midfielders on the pitch, Allegri felt his scalp shudder.

At the same time, I feel a little envious of Guardiola in my heart.

Other teams can't even ask for a good midfielder, but Manchester City has four, which is simply a luxury.

He will not talk about the monster Chu Zheng.

David Silva, De Bruyne and Yaya Toure are singled out, and any one of them can be the core of the team.

Although David Silva and Yaya Toure are old, their experience and skills are still there, and they are still the top players in today's football.

Not long after, the whistle sounded, and the second half of the game officially started.

For Juventus, after the start of the game compared with the second half of the first half, their formation has recovered, and it is obvious that they are going to play that resolute and efficient defensive counterattack tactic again.

You can hardly say this is a wrong choice.

With Juventus' defensive strength, if they concentrate on defending, the probability of Manchester City scoring two goals in a row is really low.

Perhaps under Juventus' full defense, they couldn't score a single goal.

As for Manchester City, Zhang Lu also guessed wrong.

The facts are just the opposite.

After David Silva came on, he played Sane's position.

But Chu Zheng still spends most of his time in the ribs or in the middle.

Although David Silva does not have the speed and impact of Sane, he has the organization and passing ability that Sane cannot match.

As a result, Manchester City's offensive pass speed in the left half of the frontcourt has been greatly enhanced.

In the 48th minute of the game, Chu Zheng and David Silva, together with the cooperation of Aguero and De Bruyne on the side, passed the ball.

Juve's solid defense line is like an iron plate on a chopping board, constantly being cut by the blades on the punching machine.

Under continuous pressure, Juventus' rib-to-rib junction was finally torn open because it could not keep up with Manchester City's passing speed.

David Silva moved forward smartly and received a through ball from Chu Zheng.

On the left side of the penalty area, facing the encirclement and suppression of Juventus players, David Silva used his delicate dribbling skills to avoid the attack of two Juventus players in a row.

Seeing that Chu Zheng ran across the middle of the road after planning the attack, he immediately passed the ball back in an inverted triangle after he had completed the task of attracting cover.

At this time, due to Manchester City's continuous ball possession tearing and attracting on the flank just now, there were no people in the middle of Juventus, only Chiellini and Sandro.

Although the two blocked the middle, the shooting lines on both sides of the goal were exposed.

After Chu Zheng saw the opportunity, he swung his left foot and shot directly at the top of the arc.

"There is!!!"

As soon as the ball left his feet, Chu Zheng felt ecstatic in his heart. He felt so good about the ball.

However, in the next second, Buffon, who chose his position perfectly as always, swooped to the right on the goal line, and the ball was pulled out of the baseline.

In an instant, Chu Zheng wanted to vomit blood!

Evil door!

In the stands, after a short exclamation, Juventus immediately gave their goalkeeper the warmest applause, giving full affirmation and encouragement.

On the sidelines, seeing the ball saved by the godlike Buffon again, Guardiola's facial features were distorted for a moment.

On the other side, Allegri was not as simple as being angry, he was already frightened to the point of madness.

too fast.

The transfer of Manchester City's offense is too fast, and it has completely exceeded their overall defense speed.

This discovery was like a spiked mace hammering hard on his heart.

He never expected that the effect of Silva and Chuzheng would be so terrible that they would forcefully tore apart the defense in the middle that he had never worried about.

Just when Allegri was thinking about how to respond, Manchester City's offense came again.

This time it's anti-reverse.

In the 52nd minute of the game, Juventus slowly hit Manchester City outside the penalty area through slow-paced possession.

As a result, in the face of Manchester City's backcourt pressing one after another, Juventus's smooth pass was successfully intercepted by the tall and long-legged Toure.

After getting the ball, Toure immediately made a cross to the left in the middle.

David Silva rushed from the top area of ​​his own arc, kept the ball, and stuffed the ball directly to the left front side with his right foot.

In the next second, Chu Zheng's horsepower was fully activated, and he rushed towards the ball like a speeding supercar.

At the same time, Alves in the rib also quickly rushed to the wing.

But today is different.

Although Alves is still in excellent condition today, with good endurance, delicate footwork and wide vision, his speed in his youth has left him.

Before he could reach the ball, Chu Zheng was the first to reach it, and waded the ball forward three or four meters away.

In just a few blinks, Alves was completely left behind by Chu Zheng.

But Alves did not give up, turned around on the spot, and chased along the inside line.

"Chu Zheng!!!"

"Is this going to be a sidewalk?!"

"Tsk tsk, this acceleration ability, this dribbling speed!" Zhang Lu's eyes widened. The fastest dribbling speeds he had ever seen were Ronaldo and Kaka, and now there was another one.

On the field, when Chu Zheng crossed the center line, he was forced to slow down because the retreating Khedira approached from the center.

Khedira rushed sideways, stretched out his left foot and kicked the ball at Chu Zheng's feet.

But Chu Zheng was faster, kicking the ball forward with his right foot first.

Seeing that Chu Zheng was about to run, Khedira confiscated his foot and kicked Chu Zheng's right foot.

Surprisingly, Chu Zheng didn't fall down.

He just bent over and staggered a bit like Khedira, and quickly got up again.

Seeing that Chu Zheng hadn't fallen, Khedira made another move and grabbed Chu Zheng's jersey on the back.

But even though Chu Zheng's jersey was stretched like a triangular tent, he still couldn't stop Chu Zheng.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Zheng broke free and rolled to the left to chase the ball on the sidewalk.

When Chu Zheng caught up with the ball, Alves grabbed it again from the outside of the wing.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng took another step forward and stabbed the ball to the left front, and then picked up the speed.

The referee Kupes followed behind the two and took Khedira's two fouls into consideration.

But if Chu Zheng didn't fall, he didn't blow it, and the offense was advantageous.

"Chu!!!!"

"GOGOGOGOGOGOGO..."

When Chu Zheng rushed past with the ball in front of Manchester City's coaching area, Guardiola stooped and clenched his fists like a stammer to cheer Chu Zheng on.

Chu Zheng heard it, and shouted while running, "I'll hook your sister!"

"What?" Guardiola stared, he doesn't understand Chinese.

On the field, Manchester City followed up across the board at this time, and Juventus also retreated with all members. Both sides tried to get ahead of the other side.

On Chu Zheng's side, after entering the 30-meter area along the side, he saw that Aguero and Sterling were not in place in the middle and the other side of the rib, so he took the ball to the rib without saying a word.

At the front of the upper corner of the restricted area, Chu Zheng was in the front right and rear right positions. Alves and Barzagli quickly got in place, and they were about to pinch him back and forth.

However, at this moment, Chu Zheng, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, suddenly kicked the ball forward to the left with his right foot, and then immediately rubbed the front part of the inside of his left foot forward to the right. Rolled between the legs.

"Wow!!!!!!!!!!" For a while, there was an uproar in the Juventus Arena.

On the field, the moment Chu Zheng dodged Barzagli, he just caught Alves behind him, perfectly breaking Juve's front and back pinch.

But after taking the ball into the penalty area, he encountered a new problem.

At this moment, Barzali is on his left, Alves is behind him, and Khedira is on the front right.

Facing the encirclement of the three, Chu Zheng's choice was to continue to break through with the ball.

Khedira didn't expect Chu Zheng to be so resolute, and he was half a beat too late, allowing Chu Zheng, who suddenly accelerated, to dribble the ball past him.

“holy shit!!!!!!”

"Chu succeeded!!!"

"Success!!!!!!"

In the BBC studio, Lineker could no longer sit still. He stood up and screamed, his eyes widened, as if he saw something horrible.

Ferdinand next to him also had the same expression, and said to himself: "No one can stop him!!"

At this moment, the narrators in countless studios all had shocked expressions.

It is unbelievable that Juventus, known as the best line of defense in football in recent years, was smashed by Chu Zheng.

Is this still Juve's defense?
In the Juventus penalty area, when Chu Zheng brought the ball to the sideline of the small penalty area, there was no one around him, and they were all thrown away by him.

But at this time on the end line of the small penalty area on his right, Bonucci is about to settle.

Chu Zheng knew very well that as long as he hesitated and gave Bonucci even a second, he would be disturbed.

So Chu Zheng glanced at the near corner of the doorpost in front of him, and at Buffon who had already set his posture, his body center of gravity suddenly tilted to the left.

"Far corner!!"

In front of the goal post, Buffon's pupils suddenly converged, and he instantly judged Chu Zheng's shooting line, and fell to the ground directly to the outside.

His judgment was correct, and Chu Zheng wasn't going to play tricks with him either.

The moment Chu Zheng shot, he almost concentrated all his strength on his right foot.

In the restricted area, only a "bang" was heard.

The ball disappeared from everyone's sight.

Countless fans didn't realize that the ball had been scored until they saw that the net inside the far goal was bulged out a lot.

"Roar!!!!!!!!!!!"

The moment the goal was scored, Chu Zheng raised his head to the sky and roared, venting all the depression accumulated in his heart because of Buffon.

This kick, he kicked heartily, made his whole body feel comfortable, and an indescribable but extremely comfortable feeling spread throughout his body.

"Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In the live commentary seat, Martin and Smith were shouting with vibrato and crying.

On the sidelines, Guardiola has turned around and rushed towards the bench and the coach's bench, embracing the crowd who rushed out.

Beside, Allegri is still a little dazed at this time!
