Chapter 239 The End of the First Half (99/171) Chapter 5

Chapter two hundred and thirty-ninth the end of the first half

"Beautiful!! Luton's beautiful counterattack!!"

"The three players in the frontcourt cooperated in consecutive passes, and they completely opened up the space!! Faced with such a fast pass from the frontcourt, Juventus didn't even have time to foul!!!"

Letkinson shouted!

"It was a gap opened from Cannavaro's side again. Griezmann flew from Cannavaro's side, went around in front of him and completed a shot. Compared with the fast Griezmann, the Navarro's speed is like a snail!"

"The physical state of this great central defender may not be able to adapt to the professional arena. In this game, Luton's counterattack was quite fast. Under such a fast pass and cut, Cannavaro's weakness was magnified to the maximum extent! Thirty-seven-year-old Cannavaro can't keep up with the pace of the game."

At this time on the court, Griezmann, who had just scored a goal, rushed to the corner flag area. Behind him, Vardy, Adam, and more players rushed up!

Vardy threw Griezmann down, and Adam jumped up and pressed him.

Followed by Drinkwater, Kevin Keane, Adam White

They piled up like a stack of Arhats!

Jeffrey also rushed up from the back line. He was the last to jump up. He put his hands on his teammates, then raised his head and roared at the stands!

This is the roar from the English First Division team Luton!

Juventus and Luton, one is a giant in Serie A and the other is a small team in England.

The little man knocks down the giant's roar!

Luton celebrate their hard-earned goal at the silent Stadio Olimpico in Turin!

For this goal, Luton was actually preparing more than a week ago!

The counterattack of the three strikers cooperated with Gao Bo who wanted to implement it with his left hand very early. Compared with the two strikers, the three strikers can use the width of the field more effectively, and the rhythm of the three players is also on the same channel. Quite tacit!

Gao Bo was high-fiving with his coaching team and decided to use a new offensive strategy before the battle, which was a rather risky approach.

But this goal let Gao Bo know that they succeeded!

The connection between the three Adam Valdi Griezmann and the cooperation between the three forwards with agile and fast stature made Juventus' defense line a little overwhelmed!

Not to mention the old Cannavaro, Grosso's age is also there, Chiellini is an excellent central defender, with strong frontal defense ability, but his mobility has always been his weakness.

Cáceres on the other side is fast, but when Juventus is on the offensive, right-back Cáceres needs forward assists.

Juventus has always had a tradition of 35 defenders - the so-called three-point-five defender, this is a tactic that former Juventus coach Lippi likes. Name stayed in the backcourt to defend.

Obviously, in Ferrara's lineup, the older Grosso can no longer run up and down such an extremely energy-consuming run.

The three strikers usually face the opposing three defenders on the counterattack! Coupled with the cards that increase the counterattack efficiency by 15% on the equipment, this is the capital of Gao Bo who can face Juventus on the road!

The players celebrated wildly on the pitch. Even centre-backs Sol Campbell and Jeffrey rushed forward to lead a team like Juventus away, which was enough to drive all Luton players crazy.

After Gao Bo celebrated with a high five with the coaching staff, he did not continue to celebrate, but stood on the sidelines.

The players ended their celebration and began to return to their own half.

Gao Bo held the Luton players who passed by him one by one, and quickly explained the things that need attention in the rest of the first half.

The football game is not suspended, so Gao Bo can not waste such an opportunity.

After Luton took the lead, the opponent was definitely going to counterattack,

Gao Bo intends to keep the score of 1-0 until the end of the first half. Of course, if there is a chance to counterattack, the team will definitely not give up.

And the premise of all this is to defend, on the basis of good defense, the opportunity to counterattack will come!

After losing the ball, Buffon fished the ball out of the door a little depressed, and then kicked the ball out with a big foot.

Other Juventus players were similarly gloomy.

Before the game started, they thought it was a very easy game. The opponent was a third-tier team, and it was really not easy to reach the round of 16.

And the players also read the newspapers. Judging from the Italian media reports, the Italian media also agree with the information from England - Luton does not plan to continue to invest in the Europa League. After all, the impact of two-line operations on the team is too great, and maintaining the league is just a normal operation for Luton.

But the game was very rough for Juventus from the very beginning.

Originally, they thought they could easily defeat Luton, but at the beginning of the game, it was Luton who made the threat first. After that, Juventus took control of the situation. They patiently organized the attack in the midfield. Piero and Amauri's striker combination There are also frequent threats.

Juventus is used to the warm rhythm of the game. This team rarely scores big games, so even if they haven’t scored a goal in more than 30 minutes in the first half, Juventus players are very used to it. .

However, Luton's counterattack made it impossible for Juventus to continue such a slow game rhythm.

Luton's quick forward pass sped up the game, which forced Juventus to speed up the game too.

In Serie A, Juventus focuses on defensive counterattacks. The three midfielders are not easy to rely on, so the experienced Cannavaro is rarely exposed to the opponent's forwards and is forced to play one-on-one with the forwards. .

However, in this game Juventus was obviously preparing to attack in the first half, so their three midfielders also pressed up, causing Cannavaro to face Luton's three fast and explosive forwards repeatedly. impact.

The most depressing player now belongs to Cannavaro.

The former Italian captain, who won the Ballon d'Or as a centre-back, is now at the end of his career.

After being repeatedly attacked by the opponent's three forwards, the 37-year-old Cannavaro's physical fitness was a bit too much.

The speed could not keep up with the rhythm, and physical problems began to occur.

Cannavaro looked at the noisy stands, and then looked at this green field.

Maybe he actually left this place

Cannavaro even had the idea of ​​retiring at this moment.

Thirty-seven, it's time.

The first half was running out. In the next few minutes, Gao Bo directed the team to shrink across the board and entered halftime with a 1-0 lead. Gao Bo was still very satisfied with the result!

Ferrara also knows the dilemma facing Juventus right now.

Juventus are used to slow-paced games, as several of their core players are not young. And Luton hit a few quick counterattacks.

The overwhelming counterattack made the aging back line unable to keep up with the rhythm, and the back line lost its protection after pressing on the attack.

Ferrara knows the reason for losing the ball, but now he can't take care of that much. Even if he needs to adjust, he has to wait until the second half.

At the end of the first half, Juventus attacked again!

When the game time was running out, Amauri's role was reflected.

In the 44th minute of the game, Cáceres made a cross from the right, and Amauri had the upper hand when he and Jeffrey competed for a header in the penalty area.

Amauri's header almost helped Juventus equalise, but the ball was still a little off and hit the side net.

After this attack, the first half of the game entered injury time.

Luton also took the ball and organized an offensive. Griezmann's long shot hit the defender and went out of the bottom line. Then, when Griezmann was about to take a corner kick, the referee did not wait for the corner kick to be taken. The whistle was blown throughout the game.

This made Gao Bo on the sidelines very dissatisfied. He believed that at least the first half of the game should not end until Luton's corner kick was completed.

In the face of Gao Bo's protest, the coaching staff did not respond. For the referee, whistling a game is also quite exhausting.

After the whistle sounded, players from both sides walked into the player tunnel one after another.

At the end of the first half, Luton temporarily led the opponent with a score of 1-0!
