章節 546: Light at the End of a Tunnel

The 'parking the bus' defensive tactic seemed to work wonders for the Genoa players. It allowed them to compensate for their lack of skills with their hard work while toiling like true warriors to prevent Juventus from breaking through their ranks. As such, they kept the game deadlocked at a score of 0:0 as the match approached the late stages.

Of course, there were times the efforts of the Genoa players couldn't stop the inevitable, and the highly tactical Juventus players would break through them. But during such tense moments, Mattia Perin, the Genoa keeper who had been in fine form from the first minute, would rise to the occasion. The miracle worker of a shot-stopper would perform beyond all expectations and save whatever was unleashed at him by the Juventus players. He was a true-blue world-class goalkeeper, at least for that specific day.
