Chapter 22 Dilemm
Standing in front of the penalty area and lined up the wall, Degan suddenly heard a heavy gasp. He turned his head and saw that it was actually Natali. Degan couldn't help but be surprised. Even if Natali is not the most physically strong one in the team, the game has only started for five minutes, so it won't be like this!
Looking at other people, in addition to Sarah, Bellini and Rivalta are the same. Degan suddenly understood that it was not the game itself that made them so tired, but the huge pressure given by Juventus. They didn't want to lose, but in terms of momentum, they had already lost.
Nedved's free kick and hit the goal directly. Degan was shocked. When he jumped up, he felt a strong wind blowing on his side face. By the time he landed, the court had fallen into a jubilation.
Juventus fans jumped up from their seats, cheered loudly, jumped and hugged each other. Football has turned in Atlanta's goal.
Is this lagging behind?
Degan was stunned. Only five minutes after the game started, the team was already one goal behind. Although Degan admitted that there was indeed a certain gap in the strength of the two teams, the gap should not be so big!
Watching Nedvede open his arms and running to celebrate the goal, his long golden hair flying in the wind, and the fans at the scene also cheered loudly and shouted Nedvedic's name. Is this a superstar?
Degan couldn't help but be jealous!
Mandolini, who was on the sidelines, did not expect the team to lose the ball so quickly. He returned to the bench with a chagrin and punched his fist to the ceiling.
Degan stood still and thought about countermeasures in his mind, but after several comparisons, he found that no matter what position he was in, Juventus could complete Atlanta. Of course, except for the forward line, Degan would not admit that he was inferior to others.
"Don't think too much, concentrate!"
Albertini's voice awakened Degan. Looking at the faraway Albertini, Degan also felt that he wanted too much. He was a striker. His task was to help the team score goals. At least for now, he did not have the ability to help the team more.
The game was restarted. Piero and Trezegues were standing here just now. Only five minutes later, they became Degan and Montolivo.
Montolivo looks a little solemn. He is not as heartless as Degan. As Albertini said just now, he is the one who thinks too much.
In the situation on the field, Atlanta is still at a disadvantage. They don't seem to have many ways. They just keep looking for the high point of Digan in the field, but there is no help around him, and under the bag of the two best central defenders in the world, Cannavaro and Thuram, Degan has no choice but to enter the game. In the fifteenth minute, he had his first shot, but it was also outrageous under Cannavaro's defense.
In contrast to Juventus' attack, it is most appropriate to describe it in one word. It was really higher than a wave. In the first 30 minutes of the first half, the football basically stopped in Atlanta.
Juventus players can create opportunities through continuous passing, while Atlanta can only be exhausted defense. In contrast, Atlanta players obviously consume much more physical strength.
When the game went on for 30 minutes, the shooting ratio between the two sides had reached 15:1. Juventus' 15 shots, including six positive shots. If not lucky, the game would have been suspenseful.
Degan stood in the front court and had no chance to get the ball at all. In desperation, he had no choice but to return to the midfield to help defend Nedved. In addition to having a flash performance at the beginning of the game, Lazari has lost his temper by Nedved. The pressure made him consume his physical strength faster, and now he looks like an old man.
Degan's defense slightly restrained Nedvid's unbridled performance. Although his defensive skills may not be very deep, at least he has an advantage in speed and will not be suddenly found by Nedvid. But if you want to completely cut off Nedvid's contact with his teammates, Degan is obviously much younger.
In the thirty-first minute of the game, Nedvid leaned on Digan's back to take the ball. He knew that he could not beat such a big man in strength. After receiving the ball with his right foot, he took the opportunity to turn back and quickly at the same time, trying to bypass Degan's side.
Digan was shocked, subconsciously reached out and pulled his hand with a little force on his arm, and then heard the referee's whistle, foul, no doubt about the foul. Degan didn't want to argue anything, even the blind can see it. He just pulled Nedved's jersey.
The referee didn't talk nonsense, but directly showed the yellow gem card!
The commentator also came to the spirit: "I bet that if Mandollini put the hope of the game on Degan, it must be a big mistake. The game has been going on for 30 minutes. I can only say that there is no bright spot in Degan's performance. Just now, he was like a lame wrestler, but He found the wrong place and the wrong opponent. There is no problem with the referee's decision, but he should be more decisive. A red card will let Degan go down. Of course, I say this for his good, otherwise this game will definitely become a nightmare that this young man will never forget!"
Nightmare!?
So far, this game is indeed like a nightmare. Degan has all the strength, but he doesn't need it at all. He thinks he is a giant, but standing in front of Juventus, he finds out what the so-called power is like. He is not afraid, but there is nothing he can do.
Mandolini on the sidelines is also anxious. He did put all the hopes of the game on Degan, but now he suddenly regrets making this decision. Degan is talented and capable, but he is still too young to put such a heavy burden on Degan. It is indeed a little risky. Once Degan If you can't stand this pressure, will you sink?
Mandolini is most worried about this problem now. In contrast, the victory or defeat of the game was thrown aside by him.
Degan felt a little numb and confused in his mind. He wanted to help the team, but he didn't know what to do. At this time, Degan was like a drowning man. He was completely overwhelmed by the black and white stripes around him, and it became difficult to breathe.
Juventus' attack finally ended with Brasi's shot, and Atlanta was finally able to take a breath.
Tabi opened the ball to the half, and Zenoni rushed to ferry Montolivo. I don't know if the game went too smoothly, which made Juventus a little careless, or something. When Montolivo caught the ball, there was no defender beside him. He should have defended his Brasi, and he was even in Atlanta. At the forefront of the restricted area.
Good opportunity!
Digan suddenly woke up a little, turned around and ran forward, and Montolivo's pass followed. This is Digan's favorite way to give full play to his speed advantage.
Football has come to him, and Degan believes that as long as he can catch the ball and move forward, even the world's number one goalkeeper Buffon can't stop him.
received it, and there was already a Pingchuan in front of him. He had even seen Bufeng's expression waiting, and one step forward was the forbidden area. But at this time, Degan felt as if he had been hit by a truck. He flew out horizontally, and his head was hit in confusion until Only then did he wake up.
struggled to get up and looked back at Zebina kicking the ball towards Atlanta's half.
Damn it!
This should be a foul!
Degan looked at the referee, but the referee said nothing.
Zebina seemed to see through Degan's mind and said with a contemptuous smile, "Little bud! You just looked like a big stupid elephant. If you're afraid, you'd better go home and go to breastfeed your mother!"
Bastard!
Originally, he was a little dizzy because he was hit on the head and was humiliated by Zebina. Degan was angry. He rushed over and wanted to settle accounts with Zebina, but at this time, he heard a scream from the midfield.
Degan turned his head and looked over and saw Brasi lying on the ground, rolling in pain with his knees in his arms. Standing next to him was Albertini, with a cold face and no tension or panic on his face. Even the referee's yellow card did not change his face. He didn't even look at Brasi and turned I went to command my teammates to defend.
What a hard bone!
Digan suddenly woke up, and the messy things in his mind were suddenly thrown aside.
The score is behind and the situation is suppressed. It's not a big deal. What players need to do is to do their best to help the team, which is enough.
Just like Albertini!
He is also a member of this game, but his performance has never been affected at all. The score is backward and the scene is ugly. He has never changed. He just tried his best to complete the task.
Digan figured it out, smiled at Zebina, turned around and walked away. On the contrary, Zebina was a little puzzled.
That boy was hit and dumbfounded!
