Football’s First Defender

"Tevez!"

"Turn around and hit the door!"

"Yes!"

"The ball is in! The ball is in!"

"In the 61st minute, Carlos Tevez scored the equalizer for Juventus."

Tevez, who received a pass from Lichtsteiner in the center of the penalty area, was surrounded by no Liverpool defenders.

When Skrtel adjusted his body shape, completed his turn, and wanted to come up to block, Tevez, without turning to the front, hit the goal with his right foot.

Instead, he turned his back and walked to the left side, directly letting Skrtel's pounce come to nothing.

Then, with his body slightly out of balance, Tevez shot from close range and hit the goal directly to the lower left corner of the goal.

Mignolet's saving speed is no longer slow.

Quickly fell to the ground, arms stretched out to the limit.

But there was still no way to stop Tevez's shot this time.

Compared with Mignolet's outstretched palm, Tevez's shot was nearly 20 centimeters behind. Under Mignolet's unwilling gaze, he slowly rolled into the goal.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Mignolet's dissatisfaction was completely covered up by the sudden burst of cheers at the scene.

This time, it was the Juventus fans' turn to cheer!

Their team, with tenacity and the spirit of not giving up, finally equalized the score.

After scoring the goal, Tevez got up immediately, "get rid of" the teammates who jumped at him, and rushed to the stands where Juventus fans gathered. A slide rail celebrated, making the shouts of Juventus fans reach the highest decibel……

In the remaining nearly half an hour, Juventus and Liverpool will stand on the same starting line again and compete for this year's Champions League.

The score is 1 to 1!

Whenever the team enters the final critical moment, Rodgers will always give priority to sending Gerrard off the bench.

An old house where a treasure.

For Rodgers, the role of the spiritual leader of the Jie team cannot be replaced by anyone in the Liverpool lineup.

And even though they are full of honors, Team Jie's desire for honor will never be worse than those young people.

Gerrard, who came off the bench, is the fastest medicine to stabilize the emotions of Liverpool players on the field, and it is also the midfield guarantee for Liverpool in the next game.

Lucas was replaced by Gerrard.

The goals revealed by Rodgers' lineup changes are very easy to understand. Liverpool will continue to stick to their own offensive style of play, relying on offense to try to win the game.

Except for Gerrard, Liverpool's other substitute players were warming up on the sidelines.

As for whose "brand" Rogers will turn over, it depends on the game form on the field...

Juve's celebration time was a bit long. Under the urging of the referee, the game restarted. Liverpool, which took the lead in making the first substitution adjustment, had to use the fastest time to enter the new rhythm of the game.

So far, the two sides are just a draw.

Although Liverpool took the lead and were equalized, as long as they can control the offensive initiative on the field, Liverpool may not have no chance to score another goal in the game.

Gerrard's appearance, the most obvious, is to further strengthen Liverpool's ability to shoot from the outside.

Compared with Lucas who specializes in defense, Gerrard's long-range threat will make Liverpool's threat of attacking behind the midfield bigger, and it will also help to pull away Juventus' defense and provide Liverpool Attack players in the frontcourt and create a certain space.

When Liverpool set up their posture and started to launch their own offensive, they suddenly found that Juventus would not play with them...

After equalizing the score, Juventus began to play their best defensive counterattack.

When they were behind before, Juventus played more aggressively than Liverpool. Whether it was the frontcourt pressing or the offensive organization, they fought against Liverpool and the game was extremely fast.

However, after Tevez equalized the score, with Allegri's tactical arrangement on the sidelines, Juventus began to restore their own half-court tight defense and began to play defensive counterattacks.

On the one hand, the previous fast-paced games consumed a lot of Juventus' physical energy. Juventus players need to use the time of backcourt defense to reduce some fast running to recover a wave of physical fitness.

After all, a young team like Liverpool has no way to last 90 minutes with its fierce frontcourt pressing tactics, let alone a team like Juventus that is familiar with the "slow pace".

On the other hand, it is also Juventus' control of the rhythm of the game.

0 to 1, and 1 to 1 are different situations.

When the team fell behind, Juventus only had 90 minutes of regular games to use, but now, when the two teams are tied, Juventus can prepare for 120 minutes of overtime.

So when the game is just "more than half", for Juventus, it is necessary to be patient and "grind" with Liverpool.

Using the background of the team and the experience of the players, Juventus is naturally unwilling to play against Liverpool if the situation permits, and play a fast-paced game that is more suitable for Liverpool.

Although such an offensive initiative came directly and quickly to the feet of Liverpool players.

But the actual situation is that when Liverpool have more possession of the ball in a short period of time, they can no longer pose too much offensive threat.

For a seasoned team like Juventus, the team's defense has remained stable all year round and has a good understanding. After adapting to Liverpool's offensive style, the team's fine-tuning of the defense has also been done very well.

Although Gerrard's appearance has enhanced Liverpool's midfield offensive ability, it only increased the defensive pressure on Juventus' front line.

Juventus' defense, all attention, is focused on Liverpool's most threatening frontcourt trident.

The defensive principle is very simple. It can allow Liverpool players to have a certain amount of space for long-range shots from the outside, but it must be restricted. Liverpool players can play in the penalty area.

Of course, the so-called long-range shooting opportunities released by Juventus also exerted a certain amount of defensive pressure. It is absolutely not possible to let Liverpool players unscrupulously threaten the goal with long-range shots.

Liverpool has tried a variety of offensive methods, and the only ones that can really launch and create a chance to hit the goal within a certain period of time are some long-range shots under defensive pressure.

But there is no way to complete the full adjustment. There are Juventus players in front, and all kinds of physical blocking have a great impact on long-range shots.

It is rare to hit a high-quality long-range shot, and Juventus still stands in front of Juventus' goalkeeper "Junior" Buffon, Italy's best goalkeeper.

Buffon is the most stable point in Juventus' defense. When Juventus fell behind, the two teams fought against each other. Liverpool got more opportunities than Juventus.

However, it was Buffon who built a wall in front of the goal to resolve all of Liverpool's offensive attempts, so that Juventus' disadvantage was not expanded, and Juventus equalized the score and provided sufficient defense protection.

Even, for Buffon, the game has progressed so far, even the offensive players can no longer score goals in the game.

Buffon also intends to rely on his own strength to drag the game into overtime and into a penalty shootout...
