Nedvěd's goal aroused the passion of thousands of Juventus fans who came to watch the game. They had been suppressed for a long time and gave the Czech Iron Man the warmest applause to express their excitement!
It has to be said that for Juventus, Nedved's goal can be said to be crucial - if the Czech Iron Man fails to score at this time, then the Bianconeri, who are trailing 0-2 at this time, will basically be They lost their last hope of reaching the Champions League final.
Now, after Nedved regained a victory for Juventus, the situation has changed subtly. When the total score became 1-2 and the two sides tied 0-0 in the first round, Tottenham, which originally had a huge advantage, began to feel some pressure. Because if Juventus scores another goal in the last few minutes to equalize the score, then the Bianconeri will eliminate Tottenham by virtue of the advantage of more away goals and get tickets to participate in the Champions League final!
It is precisely because of this realization that after Nedved scored, the faces of Tottenham players could not help but become extremely solemn - they did not want to see it at all, after leading Juventus by two goals. The Bianconeri completed a reversal at the last moment and lost the chance to compete for the Champions League title!
You know, in order to go further in the Champions League, Tottenham has paid a heavy price of losing the league leader. Therefore, when they have the opportunity to advance to the Champions League finals and compete for the Big Ears Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor at the European club level, they will naturally go all out to completely kill Juventus' counterattack momentum!
Seeing that the team's morale was boosted after Nedved's goal, Capello quickly struck while the iron was hot and replaced De Jong with Tachinadi, and replaced the poor Del Piero with Mutu - in the team Now that there is still a chance to advance to the Champions League final, Capello, who pursues realism, is in no mood to consider the ideas of Moggi and the Zebra Prince!
After all, team performance is often the best reflection of a head coach's coaching ability, and this principle also applies to Capello. However, what makes Capello feel embarrassed is that although after leaving AC Milan, he led Real Madrid and Roma to win the league championship, and there is a high probability of winning the Serie A championship with Juventus this season, but since 1994- After losing to Ajax in the Champions League final in the 1995 season, he never led his team to even one Champions League final in the entire decade!
Although the Champions League competition system at that time was different from now, as well as the poor strength of the coaching team, in any case, when coaching the peak Roma team at the turn of the century, Capello was not able to lead the team to enter the competition once Champions League quarter-finals, such results are really unjustifiable.
In fact, if Capello had not led his team to defeat Arsenal and Chelsea in the Champions League this season and reached the semi-finals, I am afraid that the media would really label him as "an expert in civil war but an outsider in foreign wars"!
Therefore, Capello is quite eager to make some achievements in the Champions League in order to respond to these remarks from the media and prove that he is still the gold medal coach of the year, not like Trapattoni and Sacchi, who were eliminated by the times. Eliminate the old guy!
Although Nedved's goal gave Juventus, who was in desperate situation, a glimmer of hope to advance to the Champions League final, and also allowed Capello to employ Tacchinadi despite Moggi's ban, Tottenham did not He didn't lose his position because of this conceding goal. Faced with the Bianconeri's onslaught in the final stage, George waved his hand and decisively ordered the team to change their tactical policy, slow down the game slightly, and return to the frequency of playing that they were most commonly used and accustomed to, rather than blindly playing on the court. Get up to speed!
In George's view, with Davis off the field, the team lacked a reliable ball point in the counterattack, and the midfield defensive hardness also declined significantly, allowing Tottenham to continue to speed up the game and Juventus. Obviously not a wise move. Because doing so will not only prevent Tottenham, whose midfield control has declined, from continuing to take the initiative in the game, but will also increase the frequency of our own mistakes, thus giving Juventus a chance to equalize the score!
To be honest, in this regard, George admires Zeman from the bottom of his heart. At least, this offensive maniac has the ability to lead a small ball like Lecce to play jaw-dropping offensive football, and it was inextricable from Juventus who played all the main players, and even played in the second meeting between the two sides this season. Twice he scored against the Bianconeri, who have a solid style of play and strong defense. Tottenham, whose strength is much higher than Lecce, tried their best, and their offensive performance in this game was only a draw with Lecce.
Therefore, in terms of how to control the rhythm of the game, both George and his Tottenham players still have a lot to strengthen and improve in the future!
Tottenham returned to the normal rhythm of the game and withdrew everyone except Ronaldo and Ribery to their own half to defend. This is undoubtedly the scene that Juventus least wants to see. There is not much time left in the game. The Bianconeri must attack with all their strength to have a chance to equalize the score before the end of the game. Tottenham's approach will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of Juventus' comeback!
Not to mention, with the two fast horses of Franck Ribery and Cristiano Ronaldo roaming in their own backcourt, it will be difficult for Juventus to hit the power and invest in the offense - once these two little guys in their early twenties get the speed If there is a chance to counterattack and get the ball, there is absolutely no way Cannavaro and Thuram, who are over 30 years old, can catch up!
As time passed under the anxious gaze of fans from both sides, the fighting between the players on both sides has entered a fierce stage, almost to the point where every ball must be fought for!
In order to avoid accidents or disturbances in the game between the two teams that were already fighting, Frisk had to stop the game frequently to allow the players on both sides to calm down. However, the Swedes' efforts obviously had little effect - both Tottenham and Juventus players had only one thought in their minds at this time, and that was to win this game at all costs!
Just like that, when the five minutes of injury time elapsed and Frisk blew the whistle to announce the end of the game under the desperate gaze of the Juventus players, White Hart Lane, the city of London, and even the entire England They all let out deafening cheers. At this time, they abandoned their respective positions and barriers between each other, and all expressed their warmest congratulations to Tottenham Hotspur!
After a full six years, another English club finally successfully reached the Champions League final!
At the same time, Tottenham players hugged each other excitedly after the whistle sounded, celebrating this hard-won victory and their qualification to go to Istanbul to participate in the Champions League final!
Istanbul! we are coming!
