บท 460: Evolving III

The game continued after the goal celebrations. And without any surprise, the Juventus players continued dominating the proceedings on the pitch by relying on their steady and fluid passing. Their hard work and tactical abilities allowed them to hoard over 70% of ball possession while remaining solid and compact to deny Malmö any chance of launching a counterattack. Anyone watching the game could tell that the Old Lady was slowly sealing Malmö's fate of losing the game on that rainy night.

The players at the center of all Juventus' actions were the three central midfielders - Claudio Marchisio, Arturo Vidal, and Zachary Bemba. They all continued linking up play with the three defenders and the two wing-backs to execute Coach Allegri's game plan. Their creativity and tactical acuteness were obviously at the zenith of footballing standards whenever it mattered. And although their off-ball runs lacked any sense of urgency, they still managed to outplay Malmö in the midfield.
