Chapter 1045 Old acquaintance, stranger
When Saviola's shot was subconsciously blocked by Buffon, the Louis II Stadium sighed with regret, and then thunderous applause was dedicated to the Monaco players.
At this moment, Buffon let out a sigh of relief. He looked at Metzelder who walked towards him with an apologetic face, and complained: "Man, he should not have let him come over that ball just now."
Metzelder said apologetically: "The ball just now was my fault, and I will pay attention to it next. When Saviola rushed over, I was a little distracted, and vaguely thought he was my teammate..."
In all fairness, it is understandable that Metzelder had an illusion and appeared.
In the 0708 season, Real Madrid overwhelmed their old rival Barcelona in the league and successfully reached the league championship.In that season, Metzelder was the team's main central defender, Saviola had just moved to Real Madrid and also scored in the game against Barcelona, and Gudjohnsen was Barcelona's main forward.
When Gudjohnsen passed the ball just now, Metzelder still had some habit of thinking that Saviola was his teammate, so he froze for a moment and was passed by his opponent.
Also having this kind of trouble is Juventus striker Robin van Persie.
The situation of almost conceding the ball just now, although it was Metzelder's mistake, but Van Persie conceded the ball in the frontcourt, and he is also responsible for the situation of nearly conceding the ball this time.
When Van Persie dribbled the ball forward, he saw Flamini and Ljungberg beside him. He even regarded them as teammates for a moment. Although it was only a few tenths of a second, it was fatal enough to be intercepted by Flamini.
In the penalty area, the person who defended him was former Arsenal teammate Senderos. Now Senderos has become a world-class central defender and has restored the top level of Arsenal in the early days. He is no problem against Van Persie.
Although this game is a crucial quarter-final of the Champions League, it looks like a duel between old friends.
However, old acquaintances who hadn't seen each other for several years have now become strangers.
What is also familiar and unfamiliar is the love and hatred between several Real Madrid and Barcelona teammates and their opponents.
Ronaldinho and Raul used to be their respective banners, one of the best players in La Liga, and now they are wearing Juventus uniforms, passing and cooperating.
And Saviola, who has played for both Real Madrid and Barcelona, has cooperated with the veteran Barcelona player Gudjohnsen in Monaco for several years, and they have a very good understanding.
The offense of both sides came and went, and the whole first half was very exciting.
However, judging the overall paper strength of the two teams, Juventus is still slightly better, especially their midfield strength, far surpassing Monaco.
On the offensive line, Monaco's Gudjohnsen, Saviola and Sun Ke, this combination is really incomparable with Juventus.
Del Piero, Raul, Van Persie, and Ronaldinho behind him, the powerful offensive line formed by these four people far exceeds Monaco.
With the momentum at the beginning, Monaco pressed Juventus for more than ten minutes, and then it was Juventus' turn.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Juventus played a very beautiful cooperation in the frontcourt.
With the continuous cooperation between several forwards, Del Piero sent a precise and low ball near the baseline. Van Persie in the front point pretended to grab the point, which attracted most of the attention of Monaco's defense. Raul in the back point easily pushed into the net from the far corner.
1 to 0!Juventus scored the first goal!
And within 10 minutes, in the 32nd minute of the game, Juventus' offense was affected again.
This time it was Del Piero shaking on the edge of the penalty area. He suddenly passed a high ball to Van Persie.
Following up, Ronaldinho volleyed and the ball hit the net!
2 to 0!Another goal for Juventus!
Seeing that the team's attacking group is flourishing, Yun Sheng nodded in relief on the sidelines. As long as the game continues like this, it should not be a big problem.Get enough away goals, the home will be more stable.
Thinking back to the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw, where Juventus drew to Monaco, Yun Sheng was very happy to see it.
Although Monaco defeated the powerful Bayern in an upset, the overall strength of his old club is considered the weakest among the eight teams, and he just fought hard with fighting spirit and morale.Compared with teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Chelsea, Yunsheng is still more than happy to draw Monaco.
In the following time, Monaco continued to attack, but they couldn't find a chance to score.Monaco's defense is very strong, and Juventus' defense is world-class.
In the 41st minute of the game, Piero's long-range shot hit the goal post, and the stands exclaimed.
If this goal is scored again, the situation of three goals behind will be completely dangerous.
Yun Sheng nodded repeatedly on the sidelines, very satisfied with the team's performance today.
Before this match, Yun Sheng also played a spell.
Now Yunsheng has 10 spells in his hand:
A-level [offensive bonus], A-level [defensive bonus], B-level [extreme joy begets sorrow], two B-level [Bian Que is alive].
C-level [Backup Raiders], B-level [Unbreakable], A-level [Old Encounters], A-level [Old Friends], B-level [Fight to Fame].
The ones suitable for this game are A-level [offensive bonus] and A-level [defensive bonus].
Considering the balance, Yunsheng played an A-level [offensive bonus], and another A-level [defensive bonus] for the next round of the game.
From today's perspective, Juventus' offensive players performed very well, and there must be the effect of spell blessing.
When the game entered stoppage time, Yun Sheng estimated that the first half would end almost 2-0, but unexpectedly there was a sudden change.
When the game entered the countdown, Monaco got a corner kick. Flamini's pass accurately found Gudjohnsen in the front point. The Icelandic striker looked back at the moon. The ball hung over Buffon's hands and fell into the far corner of the Juventus goal.
2 to 1!Monaco pulled one back!They once again saw the hope of winning!
Yun Sheng on the sidelines was a little depressed. The originally great situation with a two-goal lead was ruined by an ordinary corner kick.
However, he also nodded in admiration. Makelele's set-piece tactics worked very well.
Since Yunsheng left the team, offensive players such as Wang Chuhe, Dong Fangzhuo, Diego Costa, and Gervinho have gradually left the team, and defensive players such as Kompany, Heinze, and Sun Jihai have also left the team.
Faced with this situation, Makelele adjusted his tactical play, using set-piece tactics as an important offensive weapon for the team.In this season, they have used set-pieces to break the deadlock many times, and set-piece tactics have become Monaco's strongest offensive method.
But for Monaco, this goal can't explain anything, their real troubles have not yet come...
