Chapter 203: A Crushing Victory

"These guys are really annoying, don't they feel tired?" Losing the ball again under the attack of Evra and Kompany, Camoranesi quickly stabilized his body and turned around, thinking depressedly as he returned to the defense, "They have maintained such a high-intensity defense throughout the game, and they have not had physical problems until now, what did they eat to grow up?!"

It's no wonder that Camoranesi has such doubts, you must know that in Serie A, Juventus's physical and athletic ability is already the best in Italy, and many teams on a par with the Bianconeri have returned home for this reason. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 And now, Tottenham can actually overtake Juventus in this aspect, how can this not surprise Camoranesi?

To be honest, it's not surprising that this is the case. You must know that among the players who played at Juventus today, only Buffon, Zebina and De Jong are under the age of 26 (the first two of them are still just pressing the ceiling), while Tottenham has as many as 10 people!

Therefore, although the Tottenham players suffered a certain loss due to their lack of experience and gave Juventus a lot of free-kicks in good positions in the game, the age advantage also allowed Tottenham to occupy a greater initiative in terms of physical fitness. Especially in this kind of bayonet grinder, the longer the game goes deeper and deeper, the more obvious the advantage of Tottenham players on the field will become. Because in this war of attrition, Juventus, whose average age is obviously on the high side, simply can't keep up with the speed of physical recovery of Tottenham players!

In this way, the lack of experience of the Tottenham players has been compensated for to the greatest extent - what if the opponent has more experience than us? If you don't have enough physical strength to execute the corresponding tactics, the team with the strongest score is just a paper tiger!

Realizing that their strongest point was completely restrained by their opponents, and that they were slow to open up the situation in attack, the Juventus players couldn't help but become more and more impatient on the pitch as time went on - despite beating Ajax in the first round of the group stage, let's not forget that the Eredivisie club was arguably the weakest side in the group. Therefore, if Juventus want to qualify from this group of death, they must ensure that they have a good enough result against the other two teams in the same group, namely Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich. Otherwise, what awaits Juventus in the end may not be a very desirable result.

Therefore, with the goal of not being able to score and the time remaining is getting less and less, it is not surprising that the Juventus players are in a mood of impatience.

However, at this time, the hidden shortcomings of Juventus' over-emphasis on strength and physical fitness began to be revealed - Lippi transformed Nedved as a left wing-back into a midfielder, and it was indeed a genius move to make the Czech Iron Man the new organizational core of the Bianconeri, which not only made Juventus, who lost Zidane, get a team soul in a blink of an eye, but also lifted Nedved to the height of the European Ballon d'Or. But the Silver Fox's transformation of Nedved has also seriously weakened the creativity of the Bianconeri!

Originally, Juventus could rely on Pierrot's aura to barely make up for this shortcoming, but after Capello coached and Pierrot's status in the team fell again and again, and Ibrahimovic failed to join Juventus like in his previous life, the Bianconeri's creativity on the pitch has fallen to its lowest point in recent years!

Courage has more than enough chances, lack of explosiveness in the game, will not be easily broken by the opponent, but once behind, it is difficult to recover the score, this is the biggest problem that Juventus is facing now!

Now, for example, after Pierrot's departure, Juventus' attack looks quite aggressive, but most of the passes are too regular, and few can tear through the Tottenham defence with a single blow, or divert the ball in a wide range to pull the opponent's formation. As a result, Juventus had to choose to face Tottenham Hotspur head-on, and after Trezeguet was targeted, they could only threaten Cech's goal with a long-range shot from Nedved and others!

Although Nedved's powerful volley at the last moment caused Cech to get rid of his hands and create one of Juventus' best scoring opportunities of the game, it was a pity that Trezeguet in the penalty area was blocked by Ledley King with his body and failed to follow up on the follow-up shot at the first time, and could only watch Vidic clear the ball out of the penalty area with a big foot!

After Trezeguet wasted this great opportunity to equalize, Merck did not give Juventus another chance to make amends, and directly blew the whistle in his mouth to end this tragic meat grinder!

In this way, when Merck announced the official end of the match with two long and one short whistles, the Alp Stadium instantly became a venue for more than 3,000 Tottenham fans to celebrate the victory - after a full 90 minutes of fierce battle, with a brilliant individual performance by Drogba in the first half, Tottenham Hotspur, who were not favored before the game, unexpectedly defeated Juventus away from home, and won a crucial victory for them!

However, for George, the victory against Juventus gave Tottenham considerable initiative in the battle for a place in the group, but Tottenham also paid a big price for it - Drogba, Kompany, Mascherano, Evra, Nemanja Vidic and Karl, in this game, Tottenham Hotspur received a total of six yellow cards! If it weren't for Merck's mercy at the whistle later and deliberately reducing the number of cards when he blew fouls in the second half of the game, I am afraid that by the end of the game, Tottenham would only have nine players left on the field!

Of course, Juventus had no reason to accuse Tottenham of being too rough on the pitch, because they were no better than any better - the four midfielders of Emerson, De Jong, Nedved and Camoranesi each received a yellow card, plus Cannavaro, Zebina and substitute Blasi, the Bianconeri even had one more yellow card than Tottenham!

It can be seen from this that in the Champions Cup group stage between Tottenham and Juventus today, how frequent and fierce is the physical confrontation between the players of both sides!

Although these yellow cards will not bring too much trouble to Tottenham in the third round of the group stage with Ajax, if the number of yellow cards is not well controlled, resulting in the accumulation of yellow cards and suspension, then it is likely to cause a lot of trouble for Tottenham in the future. Not to mention, three days later, Tottenham, who had just been stumbling with Juventus for 90 minutes, will travel to Goodison Park to compete with David Moyes' Everton!

So, in George's opinion, in today's group stage at the Alp Stadium, although Tottenham Hotspur has achieved all the goals set before the game, it has only won a miserable victory!
