"Goooooooal! The ball is in! Two to zero!" Seeing Davis cleanly shoot the ball into the goal guarded by Buffon, the extremely excited Andy Gray almost jumped up to celebrate Tottenham's expansion of the lead. To two goals, "Wonderful corner kick coordination! Beautiful volley shot! Davis used his actual actions to prove to people that he is far from fading out of football!"
"I think Tottenham fans should thank Manager Moggi at this time." Seeing that Tottenham already had a two-goal lead, Martin Taylor, who had been watching the game nervously, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and began to joke about the appearance. Mo Lao Fox in the live broadcast said, "If he hadn't insisted on refusing to renew Davis' contract and let Davis move on a free transfer last summer, it would have been difficult for Tottenham to suppress Juventus in this game. At this point, it is even more impossible to establish a two-to-zero score advantage so easily.”
No wonder Andy Gray and Martin Taylor were so excited. You know, in this season's Champions League, the performance of the Premier League teams can only be described as unsatisfactory - Manchester United and Arsenal both failed in the quarter-finals, and their performance after welcoming Mourinho The powerful Chelsea also fell outside the semi-finals after two battles. Only Tottenham reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. At this point, the Premier League is undoubtedly in sharp contrast to Serie A, which has three teams entering the top 16 but two reaching the semi-finals.
You know, for the English, who have always thought highly of themselves and have emerged from the shadow of the Heysel tragedy and the five-year ban by UEFA, completing the revival of English football is no longer their primary goal. In the eyes of these English fans, letting the Premier League surpass the other three major leagues and become the first league in European football is the scene they are most eager to see now!
The most important thing is that before Tottenham played against Juventus, two Premier League teams, Arsenal and Chelsea, had already fallen under the iron heel of Juventus. Therefore, if Tottenham is blocked from the Champions League final by the Bianconeri this time, it will not only completely confirm the Bianconeri's "Premier League killer" sign, but it will also seriously set back the Premier League's ferocious upward momentum in recent years!
It is for this reason that English fans were surprised to find that Tottenham Hotspur temporarily led Juventus with a total score of 2-0 in the second leg of the semi-finals. They had previously beaten Arsenal and Chelsea. At this moment, almost all of them regard Tottenham as a heroic existence, causing Tottenham to gather a lot of popularity and reputation in the UK in a short period of time!
Why can Manchester United still dominate the Red Army in terms of status even though they are not as good as Liverpool in terms of number of top league titles and Champions Leagues? It is because during the most difficult period of English football, the Red Devils won the European Cup Winners' Cup and the Champions League successively, allowing English football, which had been depressed for a long time, to return to the ranks of Europe's top leagues! Especially the Triple Crown in the 1998-99 season made everyone no longer dare to look at English football and the Premier League with contempt!
In comparison, Liverpool's performance was hardly exciting. Although after entering the Premier League era, the Red Army has successively cultivated well-known stars such as the "Liverpool Tigers" headed by Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen, and also won the "Five Crowns" in the 00-01 season. , but in terms of results and honors, Liverpool at that time was far inferior to their rivals Manchester United who were at their peak. Not to mention, Robbie Fowler and the others continue to create all kinds of negative news for Liverpool, which undoubtedly further reduces people's perception of Liverpool.
There is a saying that goes, times make heroes. To become a top giant, you not only need strong strength and championship trophies, but good luck is also a very important factor. This time, Tottenham obviously got a very good opportunity to rise!
Davis' goal and the score of 0-2 made the Juventus players feel very depressed. Fortunately, as the first half of the game was coming to an end, Tottenham players failed to seize the opportunity of the Bianconeri's plummeting morale to pursue the victory and win another victory. This allowed Juventus to escape by chance and did not take the lead. Entering the halftime break with a score of zero to three!
However, despite this, the mood of the Juventus players has not improved, and the gloomy color combination and slightly rudimentary indoor facilities of the visiting team's locker room have further aggravated their psychological state, making it difficult for them to sit in their respective positions. Without posting, they are like a group of criminals waiting for the judge to read out the results of their trial and execution!
Capello also feels quite troubled by this extremely unfavorable situation. Although Juventus's foundation and bench depth are much better than those of Roma where he coached before, facing Spurs who have strong troops and a vital goal, and Juventus' overall strength has not reached the height of AC Milan. , so even Capello couldn't think of any good response for a while to solve the dilemma faced by the Bianconeri at this time!
Of course, in front of the players, Capello still showed a confident look and made some tactical adjustments. For example, they ordered Nedvěd and Emerson to stabilize the rhythm as much as possible and never let Tottenham lead them; and they also asked Zambrotta and Zebina to increase their pressure on Ronaldo and Robben. , don’t leave them too much room to move!
Although Capello is not sure whether Emerson and Nedved can complete the tasks he assigned, now that the problem has been discovered, these words must be said. Otherwise, it is really only a matter of time before Juventus, which lacks the ability to control the field, will be destroyed.
On the other side, while George praised the players for their performance in the first half, he also secretly regretted it. After all, if Davis' goal had appeared earlier, Tottenham might have secured the victory at the end of the first half. But now, Juventus has been given a chance to breathe and adjust, which cannot but be said to be a pity.
Things developed as George expected. After the start of the second half, the Juventus players who had recovered their mood restored the stability at the beginning under the leadership of Nedved and Emerson. No matter how Alonso and Davis tempted them to speed up the pace, they tried hard to suppress their desires and insisted on playing according to the tactics laid out by Capello!
Lack of creativity, the game scene also lacks passion and enjoyment due to overemphasis on defense and physical confrontation, but it has super strong tactical execution ability. This is the scary thing about Juventus!
In the 62nd minute of the game, Camoranesi dribbled the ball through Evra's defense and was knocked to the ground by the Frenchman. Frisk immediately awarded Juventus a frontcourt free kick. At the same time, a yellow card was shown to Evra!
If it were just like this, it would be okay. A yellow card and a free kick that was not in a good position would not have much impact on the trend of this game. But the terrible thing is that Evra had already received a yellow card before this game! This means that if Tottenham finally defeats Juventus to advance to the final, Evra will miss the next game related to the ownership of the Big Ears Cup, and Tottenham's left defense will also have a huge problem. Loophole!
