"These guys are really annoying, don't they feel tired?" Once again, he lost the ball under the attack of Evra and Kompany. Camoranesi quickly stabilized his body and turned around, while returning to defense. He thought depressingly, "They have maintained such a high-intensity defense throughout the game, but they haven't had any physical problems until now. What on earth did they eat to grow up?!"
It’s no wonder that Camoranesi has such doubts. You must know that in Serie A, Juventus’s physical fitness and athletic ability are already the most outstanding in Italy. Many teams that are as strong as the Bianconeri are because of The reason for this is that he returned with hatred. And now, Tottenham can actually surpass Juventus in this aspect. How can this not surprise Camoranesi and the others?
To be honest, it is not surprising that such a situation would occur. You know, among the players Juventus played today, there are only three players under the age of 26: Buffon, Zebina and De Jong (the first two of them are still just under the upper limit), and Tottenham Hotspur There are as many as ten people here!
Therefore, although Tottenham players suffered a certain loss due to their lack of experience and gave Juventus many well-positioned free kicks during the game, their age advantage also gave Tottenham a greater advantage in terms of physical fitness. initiative. Especially in this kind of meat-and-potatoes battle, the longer and deeper the game goes, the more obvious the advantages of Tottenham players on the court will become. Because in this kind of war of attrition, Juventus, whose average age is obviously older, can't keep up with the physical recovery speed of Tottenham players!
In this way, the lack of game experience of Tottenham players is compensated to the greatest extent - so what if our opponents have more experience than us? If there is not enough physical strength to execute corresponding tactics, no matter how strong the team's financial strength is, it will be nothing more than a paper tiger!
After realizing that their strongest point was completely restrained by their opponents, and at the same time being unable to open up the situation on the offensive end, as time went by, Juventus players couldn't help but become more impatient on the court - even though they had been in the group before. They defeated Ajax in the first round of the tournament, but don't forget, this Eredivisie club is almost the weakest team in the entire group. Therefore, if Juventus wants to qualify from this group of death, it must ensure that it achieves sufficiently good results against the other two teams in the same group, namely Tottenham and Bayern. Otherwise, what awaits Juventus in the end may not be an ideal result.
Therefore, it is natural for Juventus players to become impatient when they have been unable to score a goal to equalize the score and the remaining time is getting less and less.
However, at this time, the hidden drawbacks of Juventus' team-building strategy that placed too much emphasis on strength and physical fitness began to gradually emerge - Lippi transformed Nedvěd, who was a left midfielder, into an attacking midfielder, turning the Czech Iron Man into a zebra. The new organizational core of the Legion is indeed a move of genius. Not only did Juventus, which lost Zidane, gain a figure who can be called the soul of the team in the blink of an eye, it also promoted Nedvěd to the height of the European Ballon d'Or. But the Silver Fox's transformation of Nedved also seriously weakened the Bianconeri's creativity!
Originally, Juventus could still rely on Piero's aura to barely make up for this shortcoming, but after Capello coached and Piero's status in the team dropped again and again, Ibrahimovic failed to join Juventus like he did in his previous life. , the Bianconeri's creativity on the court has dropped to its lowest point in recent years!
There is more than enough courage but not enough opportunity. It lacks explosive power in the game. It will not be easily defeated by the opponent, but it will be difficult to regain the score once it falls behind. This is the biggest problem facing Juventus now!
For example, now, after Del Piero comes off the field, although Juventus's offense looks quite fierce, most of the passes are too satisfactory, and few of them can directly tear apart Tottenham's defense with a fatal blow, or move in a wide range. A pass that disrupts the opponent's formation. This resulted in Juventus having to choose a head-on confrontation with Tottenham. After Trezeguet was marked, they could only threaten Cech's guard through Nedvěd and others' long-range shots. goal!
Although Nedvěd's powerful volley at the last moment caused Cech's release and created Juventus's best scoring opportunity in the game, it was a pity that Trezeguet was beaten by Ryder in the penalty area. Leigh King blocked it with his body and failed to follow up with a follow-up shot immediately. He could only watch Vidic, who was returning to defense, use his big foot to clear the ball out of the penalty area!
After Trezeguet wasted this excellent opportunity to equalize the score, Merck did not give Juventus any chance to make amends, and directly blew the whistle in his mouth, ending this extremely tragic meat-grinding battle!
Just like that, when Merck announced the official end of the game with two long and one short whistles, the Alpstadion instantly became a place for more than 3,000 Tottenham fans to celebrate their victory - after a full ninety years In a fierce battle of 10 minutes, with Drogba's wonderful personal performance in the first half, Tottenham Hotspur, who was not optimistic before the game, unexpectedly defeated Juventus in the away game and won a game for them. A crucial victory!
However, for George, although this victory against Juventus gave Tottenham a considerable initiative in the battle for the qualifying spots in the group, Tottenham also paid a high price for this-Germany Roba, Kompany, Mascherano, Evra, Vidic and Karl, a total of six Tottenham players received yellow cards in this game! If Merck hadn't been merciful at the whistle and deliberately reduced the number of card draws when calling fouls in the second half of the game, I'm afraid that by the end of the game, Tottenham would have only nine players left on the field!
Of course, Juventus has no reason to accuse Tottenham of being too rough on the court, because they are not much better - the starting four are Emerson, De Jong, Nedved and Camoranesi. Each midfielder received a yellow card, plus Cannavaro, Zebina and Brasi who came on as a substitute. In terms of the number of yellow cards, the Bianconeri even had one more than Tottenham!
It can be seen from this that in today's Champions League group match between Tottenham and Juventus, how frequent the physical confrontation between the players of both sides was, and how intense this game was!
Although these yellow cards will not cause too much trouble for Tottenham in the third round of the group stage against Ajax, if the number of yellow cards is not controlled well and some players accumulate yellow cards and are suspended, then it is very likely that It will cause a lot of trouble for Tottenham in future games. Not to mention, three days later, Tottenham, who had just locked horns with Juventus for 90 minutes, will go to Goodison Park to compete with Everton coached by Moyes!
Therefore, in George's view, in today's group match at the Alpstadion, although Tottenham achieved all the goals set before the game, they only got a miserable victory!
