Chapter 574: Being double-teamed by five people, shocking the world!

When Allegri saw Manchester City's goal, he seemed to have no reaction on the surface and looked indifferent.

But in fact, he already felt very uneasy.

In terms of tactical arrangements, he felt that he had done his best.

The potential of this Juventus lineup has been almost fully tapped.

Alves, a 34-year-old who is entering the end of his career, was used to great effect in his hands and became the real core of Juventus's attack on the wing.

Can they improve on their current foundation?

It was difficult, really difficult! Manchester City's goal did not involve any particularly clever tactics. It was just a tactic of using the players' personal abilities to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

This tactic is used even by teams fighting to avoid relegation, but the effects of using the same tactic by relegation teams and top teams are completely different.

This simple tactic is greatly enhanced in the hands of Manchester City's talented players.

Their ability to pass the ball with one foot, to transfer quickly, and their ability to mobilize Juventus' defense with their personal strength are not something that ordinary teams can accomplish.

To be honest, Allegri has no choice but to face such an opponent.

The tactics have been pushed to the extreme, and when the players' personal abilities cannot be further improved, this tactic has reached its limit.

But the opponent's attack power has exceeded their defensive limit, there is really nothing they can do.

But using this defensive strategy, they can resolve more than 90% of Manchester City's attacks. Only an offensive mode similar to the one just now, which is very difficult even for Manchester City's players, can break through their defense.

Therefore, Allegri did not make large-scale changes to his defense because of this goal. He was very satisfied with the players' performance in this game. If Khedira had not been injured and left the field unexpectedly, they might have performed better.

Marchisio was not familiar with the defensive midfielder position and made a mistake in the defense just now. If Khedira was on the field, perhaps the situation would be better.

But things are not so desperate. There is still time before the end of the game. Juventus only needs one goal! Therefore, the key now lies in offense.

If we can't score another goal, then no matter how good our defense is, it will be useless.

After the game resumed, Alves put all his effort into trying to prove himself on the offensive end.

In fact, he doesn't need to prove himself. As one of the best right-backs in the world, few people will question his strength.

At most, people would think that he is not as strong as he used to be as he is getting older.

However, Alves might have felt a little embarrassed because of the goal he just lost, or maybe he really wanted to beat Lin Quan once.

He really worked hard on the court, running up and down, and when he encountered a half-ball, he would rush to grab it without hesitation.

Seeing a veteran working so hard, the Juventus players seemed touched.

They also became more motivated!

Juventus' counterattack after the score was equalized was fierce, but Manchester City's defense was also not made of paper.

After a whole season of working together, Van Dijk and Stones have developed a perfect understanding of each other.

The two had clear division of labor and tacit cooperation, and they repeatedly resolved the opponent's attacks that entered the dangerous area.

Coupled with the goalkeeper who was in great form and made high tackles in front of the goal, Manchester City players blocked Juventus' attack and did not let the opponent take the lead again.

Juventus' offense consumed a lot of energy. After a round of fruitless attacks, they had to slow down the pace to give the players a break.

But Manchester City was eyeing this opportunity. When the opponent tried to control the tempo, the players in Manchester City's frontcourt suddenly accelerated, rushed out together, pressed the ball holder in a high position, cut off his passing line, and forced him to pass back.

Juventus was somewhat caught off guard by Manchester City's sudden move. Their player who had the ball felt very uncomfortable and was almost intercepted.

As a last resort, I had to pass the ball back to my teammates behind me.

As soon as the opponent passed the ball, several players on Manchester City's front line immediately abandoned him and pressed further towards the player with the ball in a deeper position.

At the same time, Manchester City's formation was pressing upwards as a whole, and Juventus' defenders did not dare to pass the ball forward and were forced to continue passing the ball back to the goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper saw the opponent's forward rushing towards him like a mad dog and could only kick the ball forward with a big foot.

In this day and age, goalkeepers kicking the ball far too far is not something that is encouraged.

The reason is simple. Carelessly kicking the ball will often give the opponent the ball and provide assists.

That was the case this time. After Buffon's long kick to the front court, Juventus players were all retreating. No one controlled the landing point and the ball was easily obtained by Manchester City players.

As soon as Manchester City got the ball, they quickly passed it to Lin Quan along the sideline.

Before Alves retreated to his own defensive area, he saw Lin Quan rushing towards him aggressively.

Although his teammates rushed over to help immediately, the opponent was too fast and Alves had to face Lin Quan's one-on-one challenge before his teammates were in place.

The last time Lin Quan passed Alves by going to the inside, this time Alves learned his lesson and was specially prepared.

Unexpectedly, Lin Quan changed direction, pretending to go to the inside, but actually went to the outside, leaving Alves behind again.

Alves sighed to the sky. The opponent's unreasonable pass was unstoppable. Even if he was ten years younger and in his prime, he would not be a match for him! He really couldn't defend it! Seeing Alves being passed, the Juventus players couldn't hold back.

We came here to support you, but you were wiped out before we even arrived. This makes things difficult.

If they were defending other people, they could delay for a while, and once other teammates were in position, they could completely surround and kill Lin Quan.

But this trick doesn't work against Lin Quan, because you can't delay it as you wish. If you don't go to find him, he will come to find you instead!

Look, Barzagli, who was about to go up to assist in defense, stopped immediately after seeing Alves being passed, and prepared to retreat, not wanting to confront Lin Quan head-on.

He had been defeated by Lin Quan before, so he knew very well how powerful Lin Quan was and didn't want to run into this bad luck again.

But he had just retreated when Lin Quan rushed towards him with the ball unreasonably.

Barzali didn't dare to retreat any further, as if he did, the opponent would take advantage of the situation and could overtake him with a single acceleration.

He had to lower his center of gravity and turn around to face the enemy.

At the same time, Marchisio, Pjanic, Bonucci and others also rushed up, and Alves, who was passed, was also trying hard to chase back.

Just a slight delay of one second, or even half a second, and a killing formation replicating the 2012 European Cup, where five Italian players surrounded Iniesta, could be formed.

In order to prevent Lin Quan from passing the ball, Chiellini did not even participate in the siege, but kept a close eye on Aguero and did not give Aguero the chance to receive the ball.

Juventus' midfielders also learned from the last lesson and this time paid special attention to the opponent's offensive players coming from behind.

A big net has been drawn, and the Juventus fans in the stands have passed the initial moment of fear and are now looking forward to watching the show.

Manchester City's top star, right?

The best player in the world, right?

I want to see how you can break out of the five of us!

Lin Quan knew that he was surrounded by the enemy, but he was not afraid. He had been brought here, so he couldn't just surrender! Although he knew in his heart that the chances of success were slim, he had to try it out.

So, Lin Quan continued to speed up and rushed towards Barzagli, trying to trick Barzagli's center of gravity with a fake move.

Barzagli is experienced and didn't fall for his fake moves, but Lin Quan's characteristic is that it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

If you think it's a fake, then it's real. If you think it's real, then it's probably a fake.

Seeing that Barzagli was unwilling to give up his center of gravity, Lin Quan made up his mind, pretended to be serious, and broke through along Barzagli's left side.

Before he could completely pass Barzagli, Bonucci rushed over and pulled Lin Quan's clothes while his right foot was already running towards the ball.

Although Lin Quan kicked faster than him and kicked the ball away first, his foot was tripped, and coupled with the opponent's hand movement, Lin Quan staggered for a moment and almost fell.

Although they stumbled a bit, Lin Quan's men still managed to enter the penalty area smoothly.

Bonucci was not dribbled past by him, but at this time he didn't dare to kick the ball casually.

It’s okay outside the penalty area, but if there is a foul inside the penalty area, a penalty kick will be awarded.

He carried Lin Quan as much as he could, pushed him out, and tried to keep pace, ready to intercept the ball as soon as he kicked the ball.

Barzagli on the other side took advantage of Lin Quan's stagger and quickly chased up from behind, forming a double team with Bonucci from the left side, like two doors, locking Lin Quan in the middle and preventing him from continuing to dribble the ball.

At the same time, Buffon also attacked.

The timing of this attack was just right, further reducing Lin Quan's shooting angle.

Facing a double-team, if Lin Quan wanted to shoot, the sooner the better.

If it drags on any longer, he might not even have the chance to shoot.

Lin Quan did not choose to drag it out, but he did not follow the other party's expected script either.

He saw Buffon attacking, and took advantage of the change in rhythm, suddenly braked while running, shook Barzagli and Bonucci, and then took advantage of the opportunity when the two men ran slightly past his head and he had a little space, glanced at the goal and the goalkeeper's position, and sent a push shot.

Buffon's vision was blocked by his teammates and he did not see Lin Quan's actions at first.

But he was so experienced that even without seeing the action he knew the opponent must have shot.

If it were someone else, Buffon would definitely not believe that the opponent could brake and complete the shot in this situation.

But this person is Lin Quan, so he has no doubt at all!

Buffon's eyes widened, and he was ready to save the ball. The moment he saw the ball, he felt a chill in his crotch! Damn it, this kid actually wanted to shoot through his own goal! Buffon had the urge to curse. It was a very embarrassing thing to be shot through the crotch on the field, especially for a goalkeeper.

When he saw Lin Quan's intention, he tried his best to prevent being penetrated, but unfortunately, because his vision was slightly blocked by Bonucci, Buffon's reaction was half a beat slow.

By the time he finished the move, the ball had already rolled past his crotch.

Lin Quan's shot was faster than Buffon had imagined! The ball stuck to the grass, rolled all the way, crossed the goal line, and hit the net.

Juventus' home stadium seemed to have its mute button pressed. It was quiet, even dead silent.

The Juventus fans in the stands were stunned, looking at their own goal in disbelief.

This ball...

Actually...

In!

How is this possible?

Five people!

He was double-teamed by five people, but he couldn't defend against it!

Is this playing football or performing magic?

For the first time, they began to doubt what they saw with their own eyes, as if they were seeing something incomprehensible.

Not to mention Juventus fans, even Manchester City fans were stunned for a moment, and then burst into warm applause and cheers.

If they hadn't seen this kind of ball with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.

How could someone really score such a magical goal? At this moment, fans around the world who were watching the game were all shocked. Even the TV station broadcasting the game couldn't believe it was real, and repeatedly replayed the entire process of the goal.

On the sidelines, the moment Guardiola saw Lin Quan dribbling into the penalty area, he could no longer sit still and stood up from the coaching seat.

When he saw Lin Quan send the ball into the goal guarded by Buffon by passing it through the crotch, he jumped up excitedly, held his bald head with both hands, turned his head and looked around, as if seeking confirmation from others, hoping that someone could tell him that what he saw was not a fantasy, but reality!

Even after coaching two talented players one after another, you can occasionally see them have flashes of inspiration on the court and accomplish feats that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

But what happened today was so shocking that Guardiola felt his brain was totally inadequate because he really couldn't imagine such a plot.

He was very sure that this goal would most likely become the best goal of this Champions League. Regardless of whether Manchester City won the championship in the end, Lin Quan would become famous because of this goal.

Well, he is already famous, and now he is just taking it a step further! Allegri's reaction was the same as that of the players and assistant coaches on the bench, from shock to confusion, to anger, and finally he sighed, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

There is really no logic to this goal. The opponent relied on his super personal strength to break through your defense. What can you do?

There is no way, there is really no way! Manchester City can use excellent teamwork to complete the attack, and can also rely on this superstar's flash of inspiration to score.

Why are so many top clubs eyeing these three superstars in football?

The answer is simple, because superstars can significantly improve the team's ceiling.

Even when tactics don't work, we can still count on the superstar to break the deadlock with his personal strength!

At this time, the score on the field became 1:2, Manchester City reversed the game, and the total score was rewritten to 3:5. Juventus' two away goals have been tied, and the total score is still 2 points behind, and the hope of advancement has plummeted.

The situation is already hopeless at this point!

Although in the 88th minute, Higuain scored again to narrow the gap in the total score.

But the opponent's substitute winger, the 18-year-old Mbappe, scored a goal in the last minute of injury time, which completely nailed the lid on Juventus' coffin.

Manchester City successfully eliminated their opponents and reached the Champions League final for four consecutive years.
