Juventus vs Manchester City - Battle of Revenge or Motion? The remaining zebras are hard to shake the "Blue Moon" rotation battleship!

In the final match of the Champions League Group D, Juventus will face the challenge of "Blue Moon" Manchester City at home. Although both teams have basically locked in the knockout tickets (Manchester City is the top spot, Juventus has a high probability of second place), the memory of a 0-3 defeat in the first leg and the defense of home honors have made the "Zebra Legion" ignite a fire!

However, the cold reality is: Juventus has suffered serious injuries, and Manchester City's terrifying lineup is enough to support them to remain competitive in any rotation.

At present, Juventus is only 1 point ahead of Porto, and the loss in the last round is still at a fatal risk of falling into the Europa League.

Therefore, Tianyou's core judgment on this focus battle is that even if he is unwilling to accept it, Juventus, who is trapped in the remnants and the severe situation, it will be difficult for him to overturn even Manchester City at home, which is a large rotation. Allegri's team will be the primary goal of striving to be unbeaten (at least 1 point), and a draw (such as 0-0, 1-1) is the more likely result. Manchester City's substitute lineup is strong enough to ensure they take the points away from Torino.

1. Life and death line and wall of honor: Juventus' double shackles

For Juventus, this game is under double pressure:

qualifying life and death line (mathematical bottom line):

Loss = May be eliminated! If Juventus loses to Manchester City (7 points), and Porto defeats the Celtics without desire (9 points), Juventus will fall to third place in the group due to their mutual record disadvantage (1 win and 1 draw against Porto? It depends on the specific score, but Porto wins the ball and will turn to the third place in the group, and the shame will turn to the UEFA Cup! This is absolutely unacceptable to the club and the fans.

Ticket = Ensure promotion! With 8 points, the second place in the group is stable.

Win = Honor advances! Accumulate 10 points to consolidate second place and improve morale. But it is extremely difficult.

Home Dignity and Revenge Heart:

The first leg was at the Etihad Stadium, Juventus lost 0-3, and the scene was passive. Returning to home court in this game, fans look forward to the team's defeat and show their character as a wealthy family.

The fighting spirit of core players (such as Chiesa Jr.) and coach Allegri's self-esteem all yearn for a more convincing performance.

Cruel reality: The shackles are heavy, and Juventus is difficult to do. The flame of revenge is hot, but the mathematical bottom line of qualifying (1 point) is like a cold shackle, which will greatly limit Juventus' tactical choices and performance on the field. Allegri is an absolute realist. He knows well that

is in the case of core injuries (see below), playing against Manchester City (even if it is rotated) is extremely risky, and once you lose, you will lose all the game. The boos from home fans are certainly unpleasant, but the huge prize money and reputation of the Champions League knockout stage are much more important than a "face victory" against Manchester City.

"Preserve the victory" is the only rational strategy. First tighten the fence to ensure 1 point (qualify), and then wait for an opportunity to steal the chicken (fight). Putting revenge and honor above the qualifying is a foolish gambling.

2. Injury wave vs. Rotary sea: Zebras are unable to defeat the Blue Moon Depth

(1) Juventus: The injured soldiers are full of the camp, and the central axis collapses!

"Zebra Legion" is experiencing the worst injury wave this season, with heavy losses in key positions:

forwards severely injured: No. 1 scorer Vlahovic (most likely to be absent), and important rotation Milik (absorbed injury). On the offensive end, he can only rely heavily on Chiesa, and the young player Ilditz may be pushed onto the front line, and his experience and firepower are seriously insufficient.

Midfielder: Main midfielder Locatelli (suspicious in appearance), all-around fighter Rabiot (fatigue accumulation). If the two cannot play with all their strength, the interception and organization of the midfield will face huge pressure from Manchester City (even the substitute midfielder).

Defence Alert: Defence Core Bremer (cumulative yellow card suspension)! Main fullback Cambiaso (injury). The combination of Danilo, Gati and Rugani will stand the test, and there are hidden dangers in the defense of the wing.

This injury list almost dismantled Juventus' central axis! Allegri was struggling to set up troops, and it was hard for a skilled woman to cook without rice. It is a dream to want to eat Manchester City at home. Being able to hold the draw is a success.

(2) Manchester City: Rotation is like breathing, depth is like sea

In sharp contrast with Juventus' embarrassment, Manchester City has the most terrifying lineup depth in Europe:

Calm rotation: Haaland, De Bruyne, Rodri, B Seo, Walker, Dias and other core players will inevitably hang out of battle cards and get full rest.

"Team B" has the firepower:

Frontline: Alvarez (an extremely efficient super substitute), Gallish (search for state), Bob (genius new star).

Midfielder: Kovacic (experienced), Nunes (full of vitality), Phillips (need to prove himself).

Defender: Gomez (Panjin Oil), Akanji (Stable), Lewis (genius fullback), Sergio Gomez.

Fighting intention and ability: These substitutes have outstanding personal abilities and urgently need to prove themselves in the game. The fighting intention may even surpass the main players who are no longer under pressure. Guardiola's system ensures that they can run smoothly. Their goals are clear: control the game, show ability, avoid injury, and strive for goals/unbeaten. This is enough to cause huge trouble for Juventus in the remnant formation.

Final prediction: A game where Juventus focuses on defense and Manchester City controls the situation. The score may be cautious 0-0, or Manchester City's substitute/Juventus' 1-1 win. With this precious 1 point, Juventus thrilled to defend second in the group and advanced to the top 16 in the Champions League. Manchester City's rotation lineup completed the mission and returned happily. Juventus revenge? Under the shackles of the residual formation, it is a blessing to be able to successfully "guard the prison" (guard the qualification to qualify)!
