Chapter 220 Champions League: vs. Juventus (Part 2)
Although Real Madrid's lunch break is called a lunch break, it is not necessarily for sleeping. For example, Modric actually watched a movie during his lunch break.
However, Ronaldo, who has strong self-discipline, prefers to take a nap. After eating, he did not grab Eggsy to go to bed immediately, but strolled around the hotel with him for a long time before going to bed.
The water bed in the room has not been replaced yet. I called the front desk and explained the situation, but the front desk still said it would take time to deliver the new mattress. I feel really sorry for that. Should we open another room for Eggsy?
In the end, neither Eggsy nor Ronaldo booked a room. It wasn't the first time they slept together, and Ronaldo didn't snore, so Eggsy just hugged the pillow and took a nap with Ronaldo.
At 2pm they got up and started to stretch their bodies, preparing to wake up their muscles and motor nerves, so they went to the swimming pool with other teammates. At 3pm, everyone got on the bus and drove to the Allianz Stadium, Juventus' home stadium.
Most of the players had already participated in the game, so no one was nervous. At this time, Eggsy was still arguing with Ronaldo. It was because when they got off the bus just now, Eggsy and Ronaldo had just been fighting on the bus.
The two men rushed to get off the bus to see who was faster, but Ronaldo was not as flexible as Eggsy, so he was left behind. So when they got off the bus, Eggsy had just walked to the front and Ronaldo followed closely and rushed directly to Eggsy.
Eggsy carried Ronaldo on his back and started the chariot charge. If Zidane hadn't scolded him, the two of them would probably have continued to make trouble.
Zidane was speechless as he watched the two of them, who were just looking for trouble and were still fighting when the game was almost about to start. So he said coldly: "You can save your energy for the game later. I will definitely not stop you."
Ronaldo and Eggsy could only bow their heads and admit their mistakes, just like the large and small dogs being scolded at home. However, the whole scene was captured by a young reporter who secretly took photos in the parking lot.
The other teammates on the Real Madrid side laughed when they saw them being scolded for playing around. Then Kroos and Eggsy slipped away, and poor Ronaldo walked into the player tunnel under Zidane's gaze.
The situation on the side of Eggsy is obviously very relaxed, while the situation on the side of Juventus can only be described as a bit embarrassing. Pogba is absent due to injury, and Mandokic and the current head coach have a bad relationship, which affects the entire locker room.
It is no secret that Juventus are having internal discord, the key now is how they will perform in this game.
Soon at 3:30, the fans began to enter the stadium, and the players were in the locker room listening to the head coach's final pre-match mobilization and changed into their jerseys.
When Eggsy looked at the empty football lockers that originally belonged to Modric and Ramos, he suddenly felt empty inside as well.
While Eggsy was still thinking about all these nonsense, Zidane seemed to see through his thoughts and said something that dealt him a complete blow.
"Don't worry, you'll see them when you get back from the game." Zidane didn't finish his words, and added: "Well, if you don't play well, they might give you a doubles experience based on your previous vacation."
How could Eggsy feel sad after hearing this? If he could meet later, he would. He didn't want to be spanked in front of his teammates. It would be too embarrassing.
The time was almost up, so Zidane went out first. The players went straight into the tunnel and started to exercise. Even though the weather in Italy was similar to that in Spain, Eggsy also wore gloves this time.
Even though he grew up in the UK, Eggsy still fears the cold.
There was no surprise this time. Marcelo wore the captain's armband and went to play a coin toss with the opponent, but he lost. Real Madrid could only defend first and then counterattack.
Eggsy had no objection. After all, whether to serve first or later was just a matter of excitement. Real Madrid's tactics were already familiar to all of them, so it was nothing more than a question of how to organize the offense and defense.
Eggsy saw the look in Marcelo's eyes when he came back, and he immediately turned around and saw Kroos's. Kroos raised his lips to Eggsy, but Eggsy smiled and hopped his head like a rabbit.
This confused the other viewers. What kind of code was this? ? So Real Madrid really has a set of communication codes that only they can understand? ?
Well, of course it's true.
However, this code does not have a fixed communication format, but relies entirely on tacit understanding. For example, Kroos raised his mouth because the last time he did this was yesterday at their training ground.
At that time, Zidane asked them what to do if they did not get the first serve in the game against Juventus tomorrow?
At that time, Kroos said: Play defense and wait for the opportunity.
Of course, he smiled with his mouth crooked when he said this, and Eggsy even came over and told Cross that you look so bad when you smile with your mouth crooked~
Then he was pulled into Kroos' arms and rubbed. Marcelo watched Real Madrid rub Eggsy as usual and quickly came over and put his two paws on Eggsy's head. By the way, he said to Kroos: "Juventus' attack is huge, and it will be too late when they rush into the penalty area."
Navas, the core of the defense, also nodded. You know, Juventus is best at the 4, 4, 2 formation.
442 is a formation with balanced offense and defense. The parallel positioning of the four midfielders can maximize the interception strength of the midfield. For example, now, Juventus' forwards, except for Higuain who can be a free man, are all on the forward line with Dybala, Borunucci and Pjanicki.
At the same time, this formation has high requirements on the players' physical fitness, so the attacking midfielder is most suitable for this formation. The biggest advantage of this formation is that it can attack and defend. When defending, there can be up to 8 defensive players in front of the penalty area. The airtight defense line can make the opponent feel desperate.
Navas didn't want to let eight strong men break into his restricted area, and Real Madrid's defense line tomorrow had two substitutes, so Eggsy received Navas's haggard look. He didn't defend obediently at this moment, but did a bunny hop to test his IDE's jumping ability.
"What are you jumping for?" Cross obviously didn't understand Eggsy's choice, and he was still confused when he saw him jumping around.
Eggsy looked back at Cross and said, "I'm watching. If we counterattack and pass the ball quickly, can I..."
"Forget it. Juventus' defense is not much worse than Barcelona's. If you want to break into the penalty area..."
Eggsy was jumping up and down, then looked back at Barcelona and said strangely: "I didn't plan to score in their penalty area."
Their actions at this time obviously reminded their teammates of what Eggsy had done at that time, and they naturally understood what Eggsy's intention was in organizing the attack.
Counterattack quickly and go straight to the middle, preferably using the height difference to score a point.
So you ask if Real Madrid has secret codes, isn't that right? But when they do things, you really need to pay attention, because sometimes they are quite strange.
Juventus quickly started the attack, and the absence of Modric on Eggestein's side made him more cautious.
Juventus' tactics also know that their 4, 4, 2 lineup is likely to encounter shortcomings in midfield and physical strength, so they also plan to use fast breaks to attack Real Madrid.
After all, Real Madrid's defense line today does not have Ramos. If not now, when will they attack?
However, when we actually attacked, it didn't feel like that.
"Juventus took the lead in attacking, Juventus' Mandzukic passed the ball directly to the middle from the right!" The commentator was even more witty at this time, "Juventus is coming with great momentum this time, can Real Madrid withstand it?!"
After passing the ball to the middle, Higuain immediately grabbed the ball and rushed straight to the middle. Kroos came out from halfway and made a flying tackle, leaving the opponent's middle without time to pass the ball.
Juventus' midfield is really not that good. One of the disadvantages of the 4,4,2 formation is that the midfield lacks control. Since there are only two central midfielders and two forwards, there are not many people in the middle. Therefore, using this formation will inevitably lose a lot of ball possession. The more the opponent's ball possession rate is, the more they can take advantage of the loopholes in your defense and score.
They also knew this, so they directly bypassed the midfield organization and passed the ball to Higuain, who was riding alone. However, Real Madrid's reactive defense was too fast, and Higuain's attack was impossible to succeed.
But they had to try, just in case? Real Madrid was not infallible. Kroos's defense did prevent Higuain from continuing his attack on the midline, but Juventus' attack was not over.
It can be said that if no one had stopped the ball, Higuain's attack would not have ended. So the defenders of Real Madrid's back line immediately retreated, and Marcelo rushed out at the moment Higuain raised his foot to shoot, and bounced the ball away with his face!
Marcelo fell to the ground in response, while Kroos on the other side took the ball directly and praised: "Good face!"
Marcelo was almost mad and shouted, "Go! I don't have the nerve to take it again!"
After Marcelo finished speaking, Kroos quickly passed the ball to Eggsy. Real Madrid's defensive counterattack did not hesitate at all and directly used two passes to form an offensive momentum. Real Madrid's Ronaldo and Bale had already started running, and they wanted to shout to Eggsy -
"Pass the ball to me!!"
At this time, Eggsy had already received the ball and started to charge forward almost without stopping, but Juventus was not a pushover either. Their defense immediately retreated. Eggsy knew that he only had room to maneuver in the midfield, so he immediately formed his own offensive plan in his mind.
