As the first Serie A football team in the world, after the 2006 telephone door incident, its position in European football has gradually declined, and the team has gradually lost its competitiveness. It has only gradually improved in recent years.
And the most criticized is undoubtedly the Serie A team's skills and tactics.
From the 2008 season, the prevalence of the idea of passing the ball led by Guardiola's Barcelona, the concept of Italian football has gradually been widened by the other three European leagues, coupled with the lack of youth training and the lack of financial strength of the team. Various reasons led to the gradual decline of the Serie A team, even teams like AC Milan and Inter Milan failed to perform in European football.
It was not until the rise of Juventus that he gradually figured out a path that belongs to Italian football.
Juventus's tactics retain the characteristics of Italian football, a solid steel defense, and a slow pace of the game, but they also incorporate many European advanced technical and tactical concepts. In order to protect Pirlo, they continuously retreat the core area of the ball control. It's the back line, so Chiellini and Bonucci guards are needed.
It can be said that in Juventus, the midfield is not for control, but more for coverage and convergence. It must be able to attack the opponent's restricted area in the past, form a number advantage, and later be able to retreat to the front of the local restricted area and protect the defense .
Therefore, among Juventus midfielders, omnipotence is undoubtedly a crucial attribute, from Vidal to Marchisio, from Pogba to Hedira to Matuidi ... all are in this way.
In the rise of Juventus, Pirlo is an inescapable role.
The leading organizational midfielder in European football, with the all-around Vidal and Marchisio, led by Conte, swept the Apennine field and fired the first shot of Juventus's revival.
Later, with Pirlo's old age, Hedira joined strongly, but more importantly, the French teenager Paul Pogba introduced from Manchester United quickly rose to become a world-class midfielder, which made Juventus's Midfield strength has been further improved.
The midfielders led by Pirlo, Pogba and Vidal eventually sent Juventus to the UEFA Champions League final. Although they eventually lost to Yang Madrid led by Real Madrid, the performance of the Zebra Legion is still recognized by professionals. .
Subsequently, Pirlo left, Vidal transferred, and later, even Pogba moved to Manchester United at a high price, which made Juventus' midfielder have to overthrow the reorganization, although Pianic, Ma Tuidi and other players, there are also Hudila such a team, but after all, the strength has been much worse than before.
Especially in the last two years, Matuidi and Hedira have grown old, Juventus' midfield level has fallen sharply, and they have no longer been able to support the set of games that the past few years have struggled to support.
...
In addition to the aging midfield, the combat effectiveness is not as good as before, Juventus this season also encountered a very serious problem.
That is the winger.
Serie A has always had a very interesting tradition, that is, whoever wins the side, who can achieve results.
Juventus' midfield has never been responsible for transporting shells, even when Pogba was there, and the last pass in the frontcourt is often from the sideline of the frontcourt.
Therefore, when necessary, Juventus can even put a center player such as Mandzukic into the wing, let him exert his physical advantage, to suppress the opponent's full-back, and grab a long pass from the backcourt to create for the center opportunity.
But this situation has changed this season because Cristiano Ronaldo is here.
The 34-year-old Portuguese no longer has the speed and impact of his youth. He has transformed into a pure shooter. This is inevitable, but in front of him, a center needs to pull him away. Defensive line, to play his advantage of flexible running position, so Mandzukiqi must be in front.
In this case, the injuries of Quadrado and Douglas Costa directly caused Juventus' offense to be greatly reduced.
Therefore, when this game, Ajax began to **** high from the beginning, suppressing Juventus' midfield and backcourt, the Zebra Army even had a three-footed shot in the entire first half, only before the end of the first half Noro Ronaldo's leaping shot made it to the top of the goal.
The superstar's advantage is reflected in the only chance of shooting the goal in the first half, the Portuguese grasped!
Ajax had bad luck and created a lot of opportunities in the first half and threatened Juventus' goal frequently, but it was just a bit worse than the goal.
In this way, the dominant Ajax was scored by Juventus in the last half of the first half.
This is football!
Always so unexpected!

"We played well in the first half!"
In the home team's locker room, Yang Yang affirmed the player's performance in the first half.
Although the score is now zero to one behind, Yang Yang sees more than just the score.
"In the first half, Juventus shot the goal only once, and only three shots. From this point, we can see that our tactics have worked and can even be said to be successful."
Yang Yang's analysis is reasonable. After listening to the players, it was somewhat better.
"We should forget that Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, but I ask you to pay attention to this player. His running position is very smart, and our defensive players must always be vigilant and can no longer be biased. "
Driecht and Militan glanced at each other, both a little ashamed, because they did miss it.
Of course, Ndongbele himself felt a little guilty because he failed to follow Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time.
Not focused enough, this is an old problem in the French midfield.
"In the second half, we still follow the first half of the game, and continue to press and grab high positions in the opening, continue to grab, and grab and attack."
Yang Yang turned and pointed to Frankie De Jong, "Frankie, if necessary, you can still move a little bit further back, let the two fullbacks press a little bit more, and when the fullback comes back, you go forward move."
This is also a set of tricks that Yang Yang used in secret training during the winter break. That is to change from a four-back to a three-back.
In fact, this is not new, because during Guardiola's coaching in Barcelona, he often made Busquets retreat to the position of central defender, and in Ajax, Frankie De Jong was Yang Yang's cloth. Skates.
"We still have to continue to press and grab the ball in the frontcourt, we need to attack fast, we need to play fast, we have to catch our opponent by surprise in the shortest time, understand?"
The players nodded and said yes, because they have been used to Yangyang for a year.
If, at the beginning of the season, they were still worried, then now, they are convinced.
"Boss, are you tonight?" Derecht asked suddenly before he appeared.
Everyone looked at Yang Yang one after another, and obviously they were all very concerned about this issue.
"You work hard, try to equalize the score as soon as possible, and consume the opponent's physical fitness. I will play in 60 minutes." Yang Yang replied with a smile, "Give the opponent an away goal, not to grab two more **** back, we are not worth it ! "
After the Ajax players listened, they all laughed.
After embracing Yang Yang one by one at the entrance of the locker room, he was full of energy and returned to the court with great spirit.

At the beginning of the second half, Ajax took the lead.
The first pass forward, Frankie De Jong directly passed the ball to the left of the frontcourt, trying to find Neres and hit behind.
But Juventus had already prepared for this, and Cancello grabbed the first spot in time.
On the left side of the frontcourt, Cancello stopped the ball.
Neres is a cunning Brazilian player. He lost his chance and failed to grab the first goal, but he deliberately slowed down. When Cancelo stopped the ball, he suddenly moved forward with an arrow. He kicked the ball before Cancello and thrust the ball forward.
Juventus' right-back was flabbergasted. Unexpectedly, this cunning guy would pick up peaches while he stopped the ball, and turned back to chase the first time.
Neres dribble the ball all the way to the penalty area at the fastest speed, Cancello chased desperately behind him, and gradually caught up.
On the left side of Juventus's penalty area, Cancello finally caught up with Neres.
But just inside the penalty area, Neres did not wait for Cancello's reaction. Suddenly, an emergency stop pulled the ball laterally and changed from diagonally inserted into the penalty area to inward. After flashing Cancello, his right foot quickly kicked A strong volley.
This foot shot went straight to the Juventus goal, and Szczesny struggled to save, but after all, it was still beyond reach.
One to one!
Neres, the whole person was excited, rushed out of the stadium quickly, ran all the way, celebrating his precious goal!
This is definitely a key goal that will make him famous!
The entire Cruyff stadium is also boiling, and countless fans are cheering!
"One to one, the two sides returned to the same starting line!"
"Ajax's performance tonight is still so sharp, so incredible."
"We have every reason to believe that Yang Yang must have done what he said during the halftime break, so his team was able to kick off such an attack as soon as the second half started, without being affected by the end of the first half. The impact of losing the ball. "
"The current situation is beginning to benefit Ajax again."
"Is there a way for Juventus to break Ajax's high pressure and oppression?"
"Did Allegri make any better adjustments during the intermission?"
...
As the game deepened, everyone gradually discovered that Allegri did not actually move.
Ajax still has the same advantage as the first half. This group of young players seems to be unstoppable, not stingy of physical exhaustion, and still uses high positions to press and oppress.
And Juventus faced Ajax's play, there was no way, and even he failed to form a shot.
What worries the Zebra Legion even more is that from the 55th minute, Yang Yang started to warm up on the sidelines.
This guy is going to play!
