Chapter 236 Making a Fuss About Cannavaro (Ninety-Six/One Hundred and Seventy-One) Part 2

Chapter two hundred and thirty-six making a fuss about Cannavaro

Twenty minutes later, the players warmed up and returned to the locker room!

Gao Bo washed his face in the sink in the visiting team's locker room, so that the cold water could stimulate some spirits and make himself look more energetic.

In a way, Juventus is Luton's first strong opponent in the Europa League.

The format of the group stage is different from that of the knockout stage. Even if you lose a game, it is not a big deal, because as long as the final points can be ranked in the top two, it will be fine.

Gao Bo didn't pay much attention to Ajax, who met in the top 32.

The current Ajax is not the Dutch super giants that used to dominate the European continent. Now they are almost unable to maintain their status in the Dutch League. Where can they still compete in Europe!

Juventus is different.

The skinny camel is bigger than the horse. Even though Juventus is not in a good state in Serie A, they still have a group of world-class players. Facing such a team, any team in the world will Feel the pressure, let alone Luton.

After the players all returned to the locker room, Gao Bo began his final mobilization before the game.

"In the past two weeks, we have been preparing for this game!" Gao Bo said.

Indeed, since the results of the draw, the team's training has revolved around Juventus.

"Juventus is really strong, I have to stress this point!" Gao Bo pointed to the tactical board, "We especially have to be careful about Del Piero, although he is thirty-six years old, if we relax our attention to him at any time Be vigilant and you will be punished!!”

"And Amauri!!!" Gao Bo continued, "Jeffrey!! While the football is in the air. Don't let him hit the ball!!"

Jeffrey nodded: "Leave it to me, boss!!"

Amauri’s aerial skills are very strong. Juventus’s two forward partners can be regarded as very classic double forward partners. Amauri controls the high-altitude ball, and Del Piero’s foot skills make him extremely threatening when he has the ball. .

Behind the two strikers is the attacking midfielder Diego Ribas da Cunha from Brazil!

The midfielder from Brazil is superb in possession, dribbling, long shots and free kicks!

Ferrara's Juventus are used to using the 4312 formation,

Standing behind the two strikers is the attacking midfielder Diego!

"N'Golo! Limit him!"

Kanter nodded, he was playing against Diego in this game.

......

On the other hand, in the Juventus locker room, Ferrara is also emphasizing some precautions to his players.

"They sent the main lineup in this game, and we must be vigilant about this!!" Ferrara emphasized.

However, there are not many Juventus players who are listening carefully to what Ferrara has to say. Due to the decline in the record, Juventus players know that the head coach will not continue to sit in the head coach position for a long time. Ferrara After La said this, many Juventus players disagreed.

It's just a third-level team, where can it be strong? For such an opponent to send the main force, Ferrara doesn't know what to think in his head...

However, the players did not embarrass Ferrara on the spot, at least they maintained respect on the surface, because in the locker room, at least Buffon, Del Piero and other bigwigs still supported Ferrara.

"They beat Roma in both legs in the Europa League group stage!"

Ferrara said this sentence, the players of Juventus finally took it seriously.

Roma are now second in Serie A. Ranieri's team quickly found their form after the initial turmoil. A wave of winning streaks has allowed them to gradually catch up with Inter Milan. Now Mourinho's ball The team has strongly felt the threat from Rome.

"They are a team that is good at counter-attacking!" Ferrara apparently studied Luton, "sometimes they will collectively press up to press the frontcourt, and sometimes they will strangle in the midfield, while in the They are also very disciplined when defending from the back. It's a defensive team!"

"And for us, the key to this game is to attack, don't expect the opponent to take the initiative to attack, and then we fight back!!" Ferrara said, this is for sure.

Could it be that Luton can still take the initiative to attack? Gao Bo would not do such a stupid thing!

"Don't lose the ball in the frontcourt easily, if there is any sign of counterattack, kill it immediately!!"

Ferrara clenched her fist and said.

Only his voice echoed in the locker room.

...

When the two sides led the following teams to play under the referee, it was already ten minutes later.

Juventus fans set off a lot of fireworks in the stands.

This is a characteristic of the Italian stadium. Later, because it was too dangerous to set off fireworks, it was later banned by the Football Federation from such stands.

But Gao Bo finally saw the authentic Italian grandstand fireworks show in the stands.

A lot of smoke filled the stadium, making the visibility of the stadium very low.

Surrounded by smoke, players from both sides appeared on the pitch.

......

The development of the game after the opening also seemed to develop as Ferrara expected.

Instead of the attacking tactic they like to use on the road, Luton stepped back and started the defence.

Ferrara felt even more relieved when she saw this, and everything seemed to develop as he expected.

However, he frowned slightly when he saw Luton's players standing.

Not 442, but....433? !

Adam White played on the left wing, Vardy in the center and Griezmann on the right!

The midfield trio is Drinkwater, Kante and Kevin Keane. Kanter dragged behind in the middle, and Linkwater and Kevin Keane on the left and right moved forward.

This is a typical 433 midfield position.

Anyway, it's all defensive counterattacks. What's the point of changing the formation to 433?

Ferrara discovers that things are not all as he expected.

It's like when he saw Luton's counterattack, Ferrara was so frightened that he was about to have a heart attack.

Diego tried to break through Kante, but the unassuming little man caused the Brazilian to suffer.

He feints twice and then tries to break from the right. He has already thought about it, as long as he breaks through Kante, he will shoot immediately! !

As a result, Kante quickly turned his heel and knocked the ball back. Diego, who didn't react, hit Kante's back and was knocked to the ground.

Don't look at Kante's height, but the bottom plate is very solid!

When Diego fell to the ground and spread his hands to complain, Luton's counterattack has come!

Griezmann took the ball from the right and made a long-range oblique pass!

The football was played from right to left and Adam was found exactly.

Adam's ball did not dribble afterward, but passed the ball to Vardy, and then moved forward.

Vardy took the ball and turned to the right.

Griezmann on the right plugged in the ball and pushed the ball diagonally into the penalty area! !

Adam has run to Cannavaro's defense area in the penalty area. He turned around immediately after taking the ball, and then dribbled the ball down. The old Cannavaro couldn't keep up with Adam's explosiveness and could only watch Adam helplessly. Break through from the past.

Immediately after that, Adam immediately kicked and crossed!

Vardy in the middle tried to tackle the shot, but Chiellini's defense was still in place. He stretched out a kick to block the ball, and then Buffon quickly fell to the ground and took the ball into his arms.

Not long after the game started, Luton's counterattack created a great threat. If Chiellini hadn't stumbled in front of Vardy, Vardy would definitely not have missed this opportunity.

Chiellini is also a master of art and bold, in which area, dare to use such a footwork to block the ball, this kind of ball will cause an own goal if you are not careful.

Ferrara breathed a sigh of relief, and when he reviewed Luton's attacking hand in his head, he noticed something more different.

The game has just started, and Luton's counterattack looks the same as their previous ones, but it seems to be slightly different.

The three strikers are very flexible and their passing seems to have some kind of purpose.

Ferrara is keenly aware that Adam's movement is purposeful, and his purpose... It is likely to be Cannavaro!

Luton's three strikers have the common feature of being flexible and explosive.

The 37-year-old Cannavaro has rich defensive experience. He used to be the world's first-class central defender, but Cannavaro's physical condition at this age is definitely not as good as before!

Luton's side... I'm afraid it just wants to make a fuss about this!
