Li Zhao was indeed right in his bet. The referee favored the home team in some regular physical confrontations in the second half. This also allowed Atlanta's players to dare to let go when making moves. Visiting team players

They also felt this difference to some extent, and naturally began to become constrained in their actions, and this contrast caused the situation on the field to reverse. Instead, the home team with a numerical disadvantage became the side that took the initiative.

The visiting team coach seems to have noticed this change in the situation, but he also sees that if this continues for a long time, the physical condition of the Atlanta players will definitely have problems, and by then the situation will become more favorable to their side. Compared with

His temporary passivity was not a big problem. Based on this, he chose not to make any adjustments, but soon after, he regretted his decision.

Nowadays, after Li Zhao has fully integrated several of Makelele's skills, he is already not inferior to those elite players who specialize in defense in terms of stealing and interception. It is just because this is not his main attack direction after all, and he has just shown that he is not inferior to those who specialize in defense.

Much. And in the second half of the game, he completely let his opponents experience the horror of a star player with all-round offense and defense.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Li Zhao intercepted the ball in midfield and quickly passed it diagonally to Zapata on the right wing. He also quickly continued to advance forward. When the latter's pass was passed

When the ball flew over, Li Zhao had already seized the position in advance, and after receiving the ball, he used two consecutive Marseille spins to pass Matuidi who was marking him in front of him.

But even though he was strong and agile, he could not completely avoid the opponent's aggression on the football field. After evading the fight of two opposing defenders, Asamoah was tripped by Asamoah's leg from an oblique stab.

Such a very obvious foul naturally cannot escape the referee's penalty, and it is reasonable for Asamoah to be shown a topaz card. However, because he has more than this yellow card, he can only be punished by the referee.

Please come off the field and be a spectator. In this way, although the visiting team still has the numerical advantage, the gap between the two teams is no longer so obvious.

But this is not the most uncomfortable thing for Juventus. What is even worse is that the place where Li Zhao fell happened to have entered the penalty area, and the referee did not hesitate to point his finger at the penalty spot. This penalty was created

Li Zhao, who had the opportunity, walked eleven meters in front of the goal without hesitation and made a steady penalty after the whistle sounded.

Although Atlanta is still lagging behind after scoring this goal, the team's momentum has been completely ignited at this moment, and the ebb and flow is enough to wipe out the remaining numerical disadvantage gap between the two sides.

draw.

After conceding the ball, Juventus seemed to have finally woken up. Under the instructions of coach Allegri, they re-strengthened their control of the ball and put more energy into the offense again. This move did temporarily stabilize the situation.

The situation has been reduced, but Atlanta, which has already gained momentum, cannot be suppressed so easily.

Li Zhao, who had been violated once, seemed to have enlightened himself and became bolder in his actions, and would also look for the defensive areas of the opposing players who had received yellow cards to break through. Although this move was not

It is so in line with Li Zhao's past playing style that he only disdained it in the past, but he himself is by no means a pedantic person. As long as it does not violate the bottom line of sports ethics, he can still accept the use of some special skills when necessary.

Means.

Although the opponent's coach was forced to take off the players in corresponding positions, he was unable to fundamentally solve the problem. Instead, he felt like he was abandoning his coach to save his coach.

Soon, when the game reached the 68th minute, Atlanta finally found a good opportunity again, and this wonderful counterattack originated from Li Zhao's steal.

After stealing the ball, Li Zhao continued to advance with the ball. After attracting double-teams from multiple opponents, he once again distributed the ball to Zapata on the wing. The latter quickly stepped in to receive the ball and advanced to the bottom line as usual.

Although his pass was unsuccessful this time, he still won a corner kick.

The corner kick taken by Ilicic had a very high arc, and after crossing the front point, it went directly towards the other side of the goal. Freuler, who was lurking there, had just the right timing to get the header first.

.But Buffon deserves to be the greatest goalkeeper in the world today. This living legend of Italian football unexpectedly relied on instinct to quickly stretch out his arm when the opportunity was lost, and finally used his fingers.

This must-goal hit the bottom line.

However, Atlanta would not let go of any possible scoring opportunity, and their unremitting efforts paid off after the second corner kick.

This time the corner kick was still taken by Ilicic, but the landing point was changed to the forward position. Although Buffon's way of handling the ball is still undisputed, Li Zhao, who was waiting here, did not give him any performance.

Opportunity. When he realized that there was no shooting angle, he grabbed the header and passed it to the back just before the goalkeeper struck. However, Cristante, who was in a more advantageous position, faced a mostly empty goal at this time.

, flying towards the top while the ball was still in the air, bringing a successful end to this hard-won counterattack.

From the initial one-goal lead to being equalized, then two goals behind, and now equalizing again, it is no exaggeration to summarize the ups and downs as thrilling. And the score of 3-3 is obviously the second time on the field.

It was a draw, but what was completely different from the first time was that it was the home team that was more excited this time.

The home team players obviously will not give up, and the fans' mood has changed from the initial longing to the desperate mood at the end of the first half, and now it is dark and bright, and they hope to end with a victory.

, so at this time, the cheers for the home team became louder and louder, and there was a strong tendency to suppress the last bit of morale of the away team.

Faced with this situation, Juventus coach Allegri had no good solution for a while. Dealing with this situation is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and the numerical advantage plays an increasingly important role on the court.

It is becoming less and less obvious that a rash change of tactics may even be counterproductive. For them, perhaps a draw is an acceptable result.

However, it seems unrealistic for the home team to continue to carry out high-intensity offense. The offense that has continued in the second half has caused many players to have physical problems. Except for Li Zhao, who is a monster in physical fitness, he can persist.

It was already difficult for them to keep up with the high-intensity pace of the attack, so temporarily slowing down the pace and taking a proper rest became a necessary choice for them.

Although Li Zhao could still continue running, he would not waste his energy for no reason. When he saw Gasperini using up the last substitution, he understood his intention and slowed down in time.

The purpose of adjusting one's own pace is to ensure that one's own defense is stable while still having enough energy at the last moment to launch a wave of offense that determines the outcome of the game.

So in the next nearly ten minutes of the game, the situation on the field between the two sides rarely maintained a certain balance. It was not until the game was about to enter injury time that Atlanta's last wave of offense finally came.

, although the launch time is a bit late, it is not late.

Li Zhao's low profile during this period was very good at confusing his opponents, so when he broke out again, he suddenly caught his opponents off guard. In the 86th minute of the game, he once again broke into the penalty area with the help of continuous shaking.

, at this time, he already had a certain shooting space and angle, but as he was more concerned about the team's victory, he did not take credit for it, and resolutely passed the ball to the feet of Ilicic, who was unmarked and had a better chance. The latter

He did not live up to his trust. He successfully scored this goal and also helped the home team take the lead.

If a draw is still acceptable, then the result of losing like this after paying such a heavy price is something Juventus cannot tolerate, so they will also use the last substitutions, hoping that at least

Can tie the score again.

However, it was too late for Juventus to make up its mind to fight back at this time. Not only did it fail to achieve its goal, but it self-defeatingly gave its opponent a perfectly positioned frontcourt free kick opportunity in stoppage time.

It was Li Zhao who took the free kick. Faced with such a gift from the visiting team, he naturally would not refuse it politely. While scoring another personal goal with an elevator ball, he also completely laid the foundation for the victory.

win our side's victory.

As the final whistle sounded soon after, Atlanta finally won this hard-won home victory, and Li Zhao deservedly became the MVP of the game with his two passes and two shots in the second half.

However, at this time, he had no intention of changing these honors. He immediately said hello to the coach as soon as the game ended, and then hurried to the hospital without even having time to change his clothes.

While he was still on the way, Li Zhao had received the latest message from Doersa, telling him that Li Ruolan had given birth to a girl for him. He was overjoyed when he heard the news. He never thought that he would finally have a baby girl.

The right to call himself "I" is obviously more gratifying than winning any Golden Globe Award. But what he is more concerned about at this moment is Li Ruolan, and he just wishes he could fly to her side right away.
