Even for a team like Juventus that is so stable that almost all its opponents despair, the moment Drogba scored, there was inevitably a trace of panic. Because they all know in their hearts how life-threatening it is to be scored first by Tottenham at this time!
Although Tottenham's defensive system is too rigid in the eyes of Juventus players, it can only be said that they have learned the surface of Italian defense. It is still quite far away from Dacheng. There are many loopholes that allow them to benefit from it, but compared with Taking advantage of this advantage, Tottenham took advantage of their weak control over the game, prone to omissions in fast-paced games, and their weakness of not being good at chaotic battles, which is even more fatal!
After all, no matter how many shortcomings Tottenham's defensive system has in the eyes of Juventus players who are experts, it is one thing to see it, and it is another thing to be able to use it effectively. The unlucky thing about Juventus is that when Tottenham deliberately speeded up their offense and defense, they were successfully led by their opponents and couldn't play the positional offense they are good at. It was also difficult for their defense to be as tight as usual. Breathable!
Of course, even if Juventus can stabilize the rhythm under Tottenham's deliberate speed increase, there is no guarantee - the Bianconeri team with Zidane and Deschamps in the 1998-99 season, which reached the Champions League finals for three consecutive years, has no guarantee. After losing a good game and reversing the game under repeated attacks from Manchester United, George doesn't think that this staff configuration is not as good as Juventus's ability to successfully come back when he caught the life goal!
Therefore, when Tottenham scored first, the pressure on the shoulders of Juventus players suddenly increased exponentially!
"Damn, you're so careless!" At the same time, after seeing Drogba beat Cannavaro to score, Capello on the sidelines kicked the ground depressedly, "I didn't expect that Tottenham Hotspur This weakness was discovered so quickly. If I had known this, it would be better to let Paulo (Montero) play, at least with his physique and playing style, Drogba would not be able to create a goal opportunity so easily!"
At this moment, Capello can be said to be extremely regretful that he did not continue to ask for reinforcements after winning Emerson and Cannavaro last summer, causing Juventus to have to face this kind of situation. A dilemma - if they attack aggressively, Tottenham, who have the two sharp knives of Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo, will use quick counterattacks to teach the Bianconeri; but if they attack steadily, Tottenham, who have already tasted the sweetness, will simply not be able to give them This opportunity!
Just when Capello was annoyed by his negligence, Luciano Moggi, who was sitting in the VIP box at White Hart Lane, also looked quite ugly at this time. Of course Mo Lao Fox, who has a vicious eye, can see that the reason why Juventus became so passive in this game is entirely because of one player, that is Edgar who transferred from Juventus to Tottenham on a free transfer last summer. Davis!
If it weren't for the existence of Dutch wild boar, Tottenham would never have discovered the problems with Juventus's lineup so early, and they could only choose to go head-to-head with the Bianconeri. And after Davis, an "insider", provided information, Tottenham's threat has obviously increased!
Regarding whether Davis "sold" Juventus information to Tottenham, Moggi was positive. After all, as the former midfield pillar of Juventus, Davis is naturally well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the Bianconeri. Moreover, in his last year at Juventus, there was a dispute between Davis and Moggi over the issue of contract renewal. It was very unpleasant, and he was even rented to Barcelona by the old fox during the winter break. Therefore, Davis has every reason to take revenge on Juventus at this time!
"It seems that if you want to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, you must find a reliable midfield partner for Emerson in the summer." Looking at Davis, who was extremely active on the court, and still being ignored after the game restarted With Tottenham leading Juventus by the nose, Mo Lao Fox couldn't help but start to make secret calculations in his heart.
Emerson's ability is indeed very strong, otherwise he would not have been able to get into Moji's eyes and be reused by Capello. But the problem is that the Brazilian midfielder's speed is really average, and his range of movement is not large. He relies more on excellent awareness and precise positioning to defend. And this leads to a problem, that is, Emerson is far from enough to cover the entire midfield like Davis!
Although the defensive attitudes of Nedvěd and De Jong are positive enough, the former also has to shoulder a heavy offensive task, and the energy invested in the defensive end is naturally limited; the latter is limited by age and experience, and is more ferocious than strategic. Giving Tottenham a good free kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Therefore, finding a defensive midfielder partner with complementary styles for Emerson was naturally put on Moji's agenda!
Although Juventus launched a very fierce offensive after the restart, in fact, the Bianconeri, who were afraid of the ball-playing abilities of Alonso and Davis, did not dare to invest too many troops in the attack!
Although Davis leaves people with the impression of a fierce defensive midfielder, in fact, whether in Juventus or the Dutch national team, the Dutch Boar undertakes many organizational and offensive tasks, and is by no means Midfielders like Tacchinardi, Gattuso and Zanetti can only shine on the defensive end!
It is for this reason that George arranged for Davis and Xabi Alonso to partner in the midfield - compared with Basturk, the Dutch Wild Boar's organizational dispatching ability is obviously much better, and he can play with Alonso. Longso also serves as a counterattack. If the Turks were to be responsible for this aspect of work, the effect would undoubtedly be much worse!
Not to mention, Davis' resentment towards Juventus is simply sky-high. You know, as a meritorious player who dedicated his entire peak period to the Bianconeri and won numerous honors with the team, Davis really wants to stay at Juventus forever. However, Moggi's stinginess and unkindness made Davis extremely disappointed, and he finally left White Hart Lane last summer in anger.
I have made so many contributions to Juventus, what's wrong with asking for a pension contract?
With this idea in mind, Davis is naturally very motivated in this game. Not only helped Mascherano successfully protect the defense behind him and prevent them from being directly impacted by Trezeguet and others, but he also actively participated in the offense, constantly threatening with passes and long shots. The door to Juventus!
Just like that, before the end of the first half, Davis, who had been running on the court for more than 40 minutes, finally got his wish and penetrated Buffon's fingers - Alonso took a corner kick on the right and ambushed the front post. Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed the ball before Zambrotta and sailed the ball to the back point. Davis, who was outflanking, volleyed the ball with his left foot from 7 meters in front of the goal and hit the ball into the near corner, 2-0!
