"Fabio Cannavaro! A wonderful overhead kick!" Seeing Cannavaro's successful rescue in front of the goal, the commentator couldn't help but roared passionately in the live broadcast room, "Coach Capello We should thank Cannavaro! Without his timely rescue, Juventus would be in an extremely passive situation now! Thanks to manager Moggi, he actually brought such an outstanding player from San Siro to Alga Humiliating, but the price paid is just a third goalkeeper who can't even play a game at Juventus!"
At the same time as the commentator's voice sounded, extremely warm applause also came from the stands of the Alpstadion. This is Juventus fans using their own way to express their sincere gratitude to Cannavaro, who transferred from rival Inter Milan this summer!
Everyone knew in their hearts that to complete this rescue mission in front of the goal, they needed more than just superb personal skills to ensure that they could make accurate rescues while running at high speed, rather than doing themselves a disservice. What's more important is that the players who perform this task take a huge risk of getting injured!
You know, Alonso's lob shot went straight to the blind corner of the goal. In other words, if someone dares to perform a difficult move such as an overhead hook in front of the goal, the final result is likely to be that the shot is successfully blocked, and the player himself hits the goal post!
This is no joke. If he hits the goalpost at full speed, he is likely to be injured if he fails to do so, thus causing unnecessary trouble for Cannavaro's prospects at Juventus.
Therefore, when they saw that Cannavaro, a newcomer who only joined Juventus this summer, dared to take such a huge risk to block Alonso's lob, Juventus fans were immediately attracted by the Italian international. The fighting spirit shown by the team captain at this moment conquered me!
Don't forget, in the past two seasons, Cannavaro has suffered from tibia fractures and was almost swallowed by Inter Milan, a famous star black hole. And now, Cannavaro actually blocked Alonso's shot despite not being able to recover from his injury. His move undoubtedly impressed all the Juventus fans who saw this scene!
Listening to the applause and cheers from the stands, Cannavaro gasped and climbed up from the turf with difficulty with the help of Buffon and Thuram - even though he was thirty-one years old. He is still in the golden age of defenders, but this is mainly due to his richer game experience and increasingly proficient use of skills. In terms of physical fitness and recovery speed, Cannavaro's current situation is obviously not as good as that of his youth. Not to mention the goal save just now, but Cannavaro managed to complete it by running all the way back to the goal from a position near the center circle of the stadium. And this almost consumed most of the power stored in his body!
This also means that in the next period of time, Cannavaro, who is in urgent need of recovering his strength, may become a huge hole in Juventus' defense!
"This is terrible." Feeling that his legs were still a little weak and his breathing was extremely rapid, Cannavaro said with a wry smile, "Lillian (Thuram), Gianluigi (Buffon), next I leave it to you, don’t let your opponents score our goal!”
"Don't worry, old man." Hearing this, Buffon and Thuram patted Cannavaro on the shoulders and replied with a smile, "It's all on us! You're so desperate, if we don't come up with something If you are really capable, why don’t you get sprayed with blood by the boss and the fans who support us after the game?”
Obviously, Cannavaro had just blocked Alonso's goal-scoring move regardless of his own safety, which greatly stimulated other Juventus players on the field - even Cannavaro, a newcomer, was so desperate. , what reason do these players who played for Juventus earlier not do their best on the court?
However, Juventus players and Capello still underestimated the strength of their opponents, especially Drogba's ability - in the 44th minute of the game, Ribery was flanked by Camoranesi and Zebina Reluctantly passing the ball, Drogba, who received the ball with his back to the goal, leaned back and staggered Cannavaro behind him. He took advantage of the opponent's frozen state to complete the breakthrough, and then suddenly accelerated as if Like a rampaging tank, he used his strength to knock Thuram out of defense!
Seeing Drogba's actions, the referee of this game, the "dentist" Merck from Germany, hesitated and did not blow the whistle. In his opinion, it was Thuram who took the initiative to rush to intercept, but was ejected because of the huge difference in strength between the two sides. Drogba did not make any foul moves at all!
You can't say that because Drogba is too strong, he is prohibited from using this part of his strength in the game, or that he is sentenced to a foul on this basis, right? What else is there to see in that soft football!
"Oops!" Seeing Drogba easily knocking away Thuram and blocking the Frenchman firmly behind him, Capello suddenly shouted in his heart that something was wrong - this well-informed player The gold medal coach finally realized that this big black man from Ivory Coast contained energy far beyond his expectation!
In Capello's previous prediction, Drogba's strength is at most about the same as Liverpool's Heskey. Moreover, Juventus relies on the overall defense of the opponent's offensive players most of the time, and rarely competes with the personal abilities of the defenders. In this way, Drogba, who only has brute strength and rough skills, is not a concern at all!
The situation on the court is completely different now. Cannavaro, who is still recovering his strength, cannot immediately grab the blocking position to interfere with Drogba's receiving action as before; although Thuram is fast and flexible enough, But in terms of strength, it is completely incomparable to Drogba. The combination of these two factors resulted in a situation where Drogba successfully challenged the world's best central defenders alone!
Drogba, who had formed a single-handed approach, did not waste this excellent scoring opportunity. Facing the attacking Buffon, Drogba, who was sprinting at full speed, flicked the ball and rushed directly from Buffon's right side with the ball!
Upon seeing this, Buffon quickly fell to the ground to save, and at the same time stretched his arms desperately, trying to prevent Drogba's next move. However, Buffon's speed was still a beat slower after all. Drogba, who successfully got out of the space, used his left foot and pushed the ball into the undefended gate in front of him!
One to zero! Before the end of the first half, Drogba keenly seized on a loophole in Juventus's defense, broke through the goal guarded by Buffon, and helped Tottenham Hotspur open the scoring!
