Chapter 71: The Mountain in Prandelli's Heart

Amid the cheers of Juventus fans, Casemiro cut off the football to end Juventus's attack. Then he did not covet possession of the ball, but quickly passed the football out.

After Wu Lei received the pass, he turned around and moved to the wing.

The right back Faraoni, who came in behind, received the ball and dribbled forward.

While dribbling the ball, he and Mario who retreated to meet him.

Gotze did a one-two against the wall.

Dodged Juventus's first line of defense, and then continued to rush forward.

Next, everyone thought he was going to continue to break through. When he made a pass from the bottom, he suddenly sent a 45-degree diagonal pass!

The football bypassed most of the Juventus players and landed at the top of the penalty area.

Here, Lazio's center Cavani leaps high, not to head the ball directly to the goal, but... to pass the ball!

He gently swung the ball diagonally forward, where there was a gap!

And, Mario.

Gotze is rushing forward at high speed!

The football Cavani placed was right in front of him. He didn't need to slow down at all, he just rushed in!

Gotze did the same.

After he saw Cavani's ferry, not only did he not slow down, but he accelerated forward!

"Mario Gotze——!"

Amid the commentator's exclamations, Gotze stopped the football in the air with his thigh.

Then, he raised his right leg again.

But this time it's not a direct shot, but... a cross!

Juventus goalkeeper Perin and other defenders regarded Gotze's side as the main direction of attack.

If any player gets the ball in this position, his first choice is always to shoot, so this side is the biggest threat and must be blocked here.

Who would have thought that Gotze didn't shoot, but made a cross!

The football was swept by him, changed direction and flew towards the back of the goal!

Everyone's eyes followed the football and saw Argentine veteran Messi hitting the horse and then stabbing him with a clean kick!

The football flew into Juventus' goal without any suspense!

※※※

The Juventus players and fans were all stunned as they watched the football in the goal, watching Messi and other Lazio players hugging each other in celebration, and they didn't even understand how the ball was lost.

Isn't their defense tight?

Are they losing focus?

They had done everything they could, but why did they still concede the goal?

In the first two games, goals were scored less than five minutes into the game. Before the Juventus players could even react to what was going on, the Lazio people started celebrating the goals.

Their performance in this game was quite good. They didn't concede a goal for ten minutes. They were full of confidence in the next game.

How could I have thought of it, how could I have thought of it...

It's not that they defended well, it's just that Lazio's goal was late.

After ten minutes passed, Lazio scored immediately. If these ten minutes of the game were not included, it would still be equivalent to Lazio scoring at the beginning of the game.

The goal scored by Lazio in the 12th minute was quite early.

So no matter what, Juventus cannot escape the fate of conceding the ball very early...

※※※

After Lazio scored, even though there were 4,000 Juventus fans in the stands, they were of no use at this moment.

The banners and slogans they hung outside the railing were hanging weakly against the railing.

Their insults and attacks on Lazio were more like a slap in the face in front of this conceded goal.

The Wanda Stadium was filled with cheers from Lazio fans at this moment.

The cheers made the silent Juventus fans feel suffocated and a little desperate...

※※※

The reporters who supported Juventus also seemed helpless in front of this conceding goal.

Why can Lazio always score first no matter what?

Juventus can sweep the entire Serie A, but why can't they defeat Lazio?

I usually see them playing very steadily and aggressively against other teams.

From the beginning of the game, the initiative fell to Juventus.

How come in the game against Lazio, the initiative has been given to the opponent from the very beginning of the game, and why can't it be returned to our own side?

This is really a confusing question.

※※※

Leaving the confusion to Juventus, Lazio continued to attack.

This time, unlike the Italian Cup semi-finals, after leading by one goal, Lazio did not keep dropping in the midfield and backcourt, but continued to attack!

Seems like he wants to score more goals!

Winning by one goal at home is not enough to satisfy Lazio!

And after conceding a goal, Juventus would definitely not be willing to lose the game just like that. For Prandelli, there is no second choice but to win.

Since we are already behind, we must attack.

Although attacking will bear huge risks.

In the next game, the two sides officially entered an offensive battle.

This is completely different from the Italian Cup semi-finals last week.

Three days ago, everyone was still complaining that the strong dialogue between Lazio and Juventus was disappointing and in vain.

This! The game justifies the dialogue between the two powers.!

But people soon understood why Juventus did not dare to attack in the last game.

Lazio scored another goal in the 40th minute, changing the score to 20!

When Lazio took a two-goal lead in the game, the game basically lost its suspense.

The Lazio fans in the stands cheered for the great victory.

They are already very sure. Lazio will definitely win this game and have a direct dialogue with Juventus!

As a result, Lazio and Juventus are only one point apart.

The second half of the season has just begun, and with only one point left, everything is possible.

Maybe Juventus will lose in the next game? Then they will be surpassed by Lazio.

※※※

During the halftime break, Prandelli made some personnel adjustments in an attempt to restore the decline. Although he was two goals behind, Prandelli still did not give up - and he could not give up.

Lazio did not make any adjustments.

Juventus strengthened their offensive, and Lazio did not shrink their defense and engage in defensive counterattacks.

But continue to attack!

Chang wins this game and is determined to win. Juventus supporters have nothing to say!

You say we are passive and conservative? Okay, then we will use offense to completely defeat you!

You say we rely on conspiracy and tricks? Okay, we will defeat you openly and openly!

In the 61st minute, Lazio scored their third goal of the game.

From beginning to end, Juventus never took the initiative in the game. Although they had a lot of offense, they felt like they were being led by Lazio and had no initiative of their own.

Moreover, their offense is simpler and more monotonous in comparison.

Anyway, looking at Juventus' performance, you simply don't believe that this team can beat Lazio in this game. And this is not because Lazio is already three goals ahead of Juventus.

Even when the score was 00, there was no chance that Juventus would win.

"…···There may be Juventus fans who are resentful of their consecutive losses to Lazio and feel incredible. They can find many reasons for Juventus. But the truth is often cruel. The fact is that Juventus is not Lazio at all.

opponent. If it weren't for Lazio's own problems this season, they should be ranked first in the league now. But the game against Juventus is not that kind of long contest. This is a game that determines the outcome. Lazio beats Juventus

Si, always very exciting... Therefore, it is not that surprising that Juventus loses to Lazio in a row."

The commentator's words will make many Juventus fans very unhappy.

But besides feeling unhappy, what can they do?

Isn't what the commentator said wrong?

Is there any way Juventus can beat Lazio?

No, nothing.

The experience and ability that allowed them to rank first in the league were of no use in the match against Lazio and could not help them at all.

※※※

Trailing by three goals, even the Juventus players themselves lost their fighting spirit.

Such a game is too painful to play. How can you maintain motivation when you know you can't win?

The Juventus players on the court began to play at full pace and were unwilling to press out to attack.

If you go out to attack, you will die, and your death will be even worse.

Between dying in agony and dying in a worse situation, the Juventus players decisively chose to die in agony.

Prandelli did not interfere with the players' independent choice. He did not yell at the players to press out and continue the attack.

The players themselves are unwilling to do this. Even if he forces it, the result will not be too small.

He just lowered his head and sighed.

Lazio always wins... It's like a big mountain in front of you.

Ten years ago, he was lying in front of him. He has been working hard towards the mountain, hoping to climb over it.

So he worked hard and struggled for ten years, leading Juventus to win the league championship and becoming a championship coach.

Ten years have passed, and he always thought that he would not climb the mountain, but he could always start climbing it, right?

So he looked up again, and found to his despair that the mountain was still in front of him, looking the same as it did ten years ago!

For ten years, he had not dared to stop for a day, but it turned out that he had not closed the distance between himself and the mountain at all, or even if he had closed it, the distance was insignificant compared to the original distance between the two.

Only then did he remember that he had overlooked a very important issue - he had been constantly moving forward and working hard in the past ten years, but his opponent was also constantly moving forward and working hard!

Forget it, Juventus is definitely going to lose this game.

They are only one point ahead of Lazio in the league.

Next, all my tasks are to work hard to maintain a one-point advantage in the league, and then finally be able to suppress Lazio and win the league championship!

It's better to defeat Chang Sheng like this than to lose completely, right?
