Chapter two hundred and fortieth change and change

"The first half ended, with Griezmann's goal in the 40th minute of the first half giving Luton a 1-0 lead, now it's half-time! Fifteen minutes later, the game will be Continue to start at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin!!"

Letkinson's voice came from the TV.

Fans across Luton were also taking the time to fill their glasses with beer.

"On the whole, the first half of the game was actually beyond most people's expectations. Before the game, many media predicted that Gao Bo would give up this game, after all, the investment in the Europa League is not enough for Luton League. The impact is still very big. Now they are ranked second in the league after Charlton. However, because they have to take into account the Europa League, Luton has already paid a lot in terms of the league. The few points dropped were after the Europa League or between two Europa League games! European competitions are really stressful for a small team like Luton!"

"But for this game alone, Luton's performance was good. Gao Bo is very good at exploiting the opponent's weaknesses. The weakness of Juventus is that they are not used to fast-paced games. Old players like Cannavaro When the tempo is too fast, they can't keep up with the speed and physicality, and the advantage of Luton is that they are a very young team and they are also very good at pulling the tempo very fast. !" Redknapp added.

Players from both sides entered the player tunnel one after another. The Juventus player had a solemn expression, while the Luton player was much more relaxed. It can be seen from the expressions of both sides that the two teams played their respective roles in the first half. how it performed.

"I really didn't expect that Luton looks like he is going to continue to play in the Europa League!"

An English reporter sighed in the media booth that his words aroused discussions among English reporters.

"Gao Bo looks quite adventurous!"

"Is he not afraid that the Europa League will drag down the league?"

"Speaking of which, to be able to force Juventus like this on the road, how far is Luton's strength?"

"Ha, if I say it's Serie A, the strength of the Serie A has dropped too much"

"The glory of the Italians has long passed, and now the Premier League is the first league!"

"It was a pity last season. Three Premier League teams entered the Champions League semi-finals, but Barcelona won the Champions League!"

"Hum Catalans just got lucky"

Last season, the three Premier League teams entered the Champions League semi-finals. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and the three Premier League teams fought against Lu Bu. As a result, Barcelona finally won the championship. The English people must be quite unconvinced.

Now is not the era of the Serie A World Cup. With the economic downturn in Italy, especially after the financial crisis, the Serie A league has gradually declined. The world's No. 1 league at that time is now lagging behind the Premier League and La Liga in many aspects.

The faces of Italian journalists were quite embarrassed.

The English were very loud, and the Italian journalists also heard what the British were saying.

They want to refute, but they can't give enough confidence, after all, the Serie A giants are now a small team behind the third tier of England.

So they can only pin their hopes on Juventus' performance in the second half.

"Beautiful! Come on Luton!! Eliminate Juventus!!!"

"Kill Juventus!! Inter Milan fans stay!!"

"Luton advanced! Gao Bo, come on!!"

"One more in the second half, and it's safe to enter the quarterfinals!!!"

On domestic online forums, fans talked a lot during the halftime break.

Serie A is still very basic in China, and the old giant Juventus also has a considerable fan base in China.

However, on the Internet, fans are one-sided in support of Luton.

This is because the age structure of Juventus fans is mostly older, and most of the people who like to watch football online are young people. In recent years, with the rise of the Premier League, La Liga's Galaxy battleships and Barcelona stars have gathered.

These teams are more attractive than the current Serie A, which lacks fresh stars, is more attractive to young people.

Juventus fans have less voice on the Internet, and most of the Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game also came to support Gao Bo - after all, he is his compatriot, Gao Bo can lead the third-level league team to Europe. In the eyes of many fans, the round of 16 in the League Cup is a great deed to bring glory to Chinese football. In addition, most people like to watch this kind of diaosi counterattack.

The national sentiment, coupled with the dramatic elements of the Luton team itself, has attracted a large number of fans.

After the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the Olympic Stadium in Turin gradually became quieter. Some fans in the stands took advantage of the intermission to solve their physical problems, while others sat in the stands to rest. After all, the fans were a little tired after shouting for halftime.

In the player tunnel, all the players entered the locker room, and Buffon and Cannavaro stood at the door of the home team's locker room.

"You're still the best centre-back in the world, Fabio"

Buffon tapped Cannavaro on the shoulder, they were old teammates, both at Parma, in the Italian national team, and now at Juventus.

Cannavaro laughed.

"Jian, you don't have to comfort me!" Cannavaro reached out and held the door handle of the locker room.

"I'm no longer a top central defender." Cannavaro pushed open the door, "Have you ever seen a top defender with such a slow speed and reaction?"

Buffon looked at Cannavaro who pushed the door into the locker room for a while.

Age is cruel to professional players. No matter how good a player was before, in the face of age, I am afraid that they will always be defeated.

Thirty-two-year-old Buffon also seemed to see his own future.

I don't know who will take this pair of gloves from himself?

Buffon thought for a moment, then smiled.

No matter who it is, if you want to grab his position, just show your strength!

Now there are also some Italian media, especially the media in the South and Milan City, who are "worried" about who will succeed Buffon.

I'm only thirty-two!

If you want to take over, just show your performance!

The position is grabbed, not given up!

Cannavaro pushed in, and the Juventus player looked up and looked at the veteran.

Cannavaro patted his chest "It's my responsibility to lose the ball in the first half!!"

Cannavaro was very frank about this. He knew that because he was overwhelmed, the team was passive at every step, and even the lost goal passed from his defense zone!

In fact, Cannavaro's form has declined since his last two periods at Real Madrid. Last season, Cannavaro was exhausted, and he faced the pace of Leo Messi and Fernando Torres. The player is obviously incapacitated. Real Madrid ended in disastrous defeats in important games against Barcelona at home and against Liverpool away, and Fabio Cannavaro's backline became the target of public criticism.

Today's Cannavaro is no longer as brave as he used to be.

If Messi and Torres are the best strikers on the planet right now, the old Cannavaro could be forgiven for being bullied against them, but now they are just strikers for a third-tier team. Luton's three strikers made Cannavaro quite embarrassed!

This result made Cannavaro, who has a strong self-esteem, extremely painful and tormented.

Maybe it's time for you to leave!

Cannavaro is determined that after this season, he will retire!

Gao Bo did not know that because of the repeated humiliation of Cannavaro by Luton's three unknowns, the former Italian captain made an early decision to retire.

"The responsibility is not entirely on Fabio!" Ferrara came in.

"It was my responsibility to be behind in the first half. Controlling the ball and pressing the attack is not something we are good at at all. The defense lost its protection and let the defender directly face the impact of the forward, resulting in the loss of the ball!" Ferrara said.

"In the second half, don't press the three midfielders! We play the way we are good at!" Ferrara pointed to the tactical board.

"In the second half of the game, two full-backs joined the attack! Fabio!!"

Ferrara looked at another Fabio, Fabio Grosso!

Grosso looked up.

"You're going to make more assists in the second half, haven't you forgotten how to pass?!"

"Of course not, sir!"

Although Grosso rarely presses to attack now, this does not mean that Grosso has lost his offensive ability. When necessary, Grosso can still dedicate his offensive ability!

"We attacked from the wing in the second half!!" Ferrara stood up against the table and made a decision.

The faces of the players were solemn, and after they settled down, the players of Juventus really paid attention to this opponent.

In the face of Ferrara's adjustment, they have nothing to say.

Strengthen the defense in the middle and attack from the flanks. On the one hand, to contain Luton's counterattack threat, on the other hand, Juventus also needs to attack!

In another locker room, Gao Bo was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. He loudly praised the players for their performance in the first half.

Especially the three attackers in the frontcourt. Gao Bo was very satisfied with their tacit attack in the first half. Such tacit cooperation can not only appear in counterattacks, but also in offensive positional battles. The power is equally huge.

"In the second half, we need to pay attention to Juventus' counter-attack, and the defense in the middle should be especially intensive!" Gao Bo said.

He didn't know about the adjustments Ferrara made, so he didn't ask the team to make changes.

Winning teams generally do not take the initiative to change.

A 1-0 lead gave Luton more tactical freedom.
