After the start of the game, the veteran Juventus players did not rush to launch an offensive because they were overwhelmed by Tottenham in the group stage, but on the basis of a solid defensive line, step by step, using the numerical advantage of the home team and the midfield, little by little to the door of Tottenham!

Although Capello is a guru in defending and counter-attacking, that doesn't mean he is not good at tuning the attack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou must know that during Capello's time in charge of Roma, the Red Wolves were one of the teams with the strongest attack and the most spectacular style of play in Italy!

Being able to play different styles of football according to the type of cards in hand and the actual needs of the team, and find out the most suitable tactical play for this team, this is how strong and terrifying Capello is!

Besides, if Fabio Capello's Juventus could only defend and counter-attack, then the Bianconeri would not have been able to hold the top spot in Serie A this season - don't overestimate the discipline of the Serie A team, for a draw and a point, as long as the rules and conditions allow, they can do anything!

For example, Ronaldo, who was majestic in international football back then. The Brazilian's long-term injury fatigue after just one season in the Apennines was one of the main reasons why his over-reliance on explosiveness and flexibility was one factor, but the Serie A defenders' highly targeted defensive style and small movements on the verge of foul play were also one of the main reasons why the aliens eventually suffered serious injuries.

So, if Juventus don't have a real skill or two in attack, then the Bianconeri will only become a draw master like Inter Milan after a short period of dominance, instead of riding the league table like they are now!

According to the characteristics of this group of Juventus players, Capello did not apply his "successful experience" in Rome to the Bianconeri, but tailored another set of tactical play for Juventus - with Buffon, Cannavaro and Thuram as the core to build a super-first-class backline, relying on the top midfield configuration, according to the actual situation, switch freely between defensive counterattack and positional attack!

After all, compared with the relatively young Roma, Juventus's main players are generally older, and their physical recovery speed and endurance are naturally much worse. In the case of the Champions League semi-final, Juventus' starting eleven consisted of only three players under the age of 28: De Jong, Zebina and Gianluigi Buffon. Even if this condition is relaxed to 30 years old, Juventus have four players in the team: Pierrot, Cannavaro, Nedved and Thuram!

In such a situation, Capello chooses the positional offensive tactics that minimize the physical wear and tear of the players, and at the same time can maximize the advantages of the players under him, which is naturally the most reasonable choice!

Of course, being able to tailor his tactics to the actual situation of his players and the team he coaches does not mean that Capello is a perfect manager. In fact, although Capello immediately led the Bianconeri to regain their strength after picking up the whip of Juventus, and had a great hope of leading the team to regain the Serie A title this season, it was precisely because his performance on the pitch was too stable that Juventus's ability to deal with chaos and turn the tables in a situation of falling behind by a large score was relatively lacking!

While consistency is a reassuring word most of the time, it will not be easy for a team to make a breakthrough in the knockout stages when it is too consistent to deal with unexpected situations.

Honestly, Juventus feels a bit like the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA. It is easy not to be knocked down by the opponent in the game, and there will be no big loss, but if they are behind by a big score or in chaos, it is difficult for them to have a way to recover the situation.

However, although Juventus has such shortcomings, at the beginning of the semi-finals, the tactics of the two teams have not yet been fully developed, and the total score of the two sides is still evenly matched, the Bianconeri have not exposed this weakness, but firmly grasp the initiative on the field with the stable performance of the players!

In the face of Juventus' attack, Tottenham players under the command of Ledley King laid a heavy defensive line in front of the goal 30 meters in front of the goal, and at the same time actively fought with the opponent for control of the midfield, so as to prevent the Bianconeri from advancing the offensive into the danger zone, and then posing a threat to the door guarded by Cech!

You know, although the forward line of Trezeguet and Pierrot is indeed first-class, the most terrifying thing for Juventus is the back-cutting attack of the likes of Nedved and Camoranesi. The existence of these midfielders with first-class long-range shooting skills and extremely hard feet makes the defensive pressure on the shoulders of Tottenham players quite huge, for fear that they will be accidentally attacked by Juventus!

In the 11th minute, Piero was knocked to the ground by Mascherano as he broke down the middle, and Merck awarded the Bianconeri a free-kick in front. Rather than shoot straight at goal, Nedved sent the ball to Zambrotta, who got his left foot away from Stephen Carr's mark and whipped in a low cross with his left foot. Vidic tried to stretch his foot to destroy at the first time, but the Serbian and Montenegro central defender made a mistake in judgment at this time and failed to touch the ball!

Unfortunately, in the face of such a great opportunity to rewrite the score on the field, Pierrot, who volleyed with his left foot from seven meters in front of the goal, missed the ball directly away, missing this great opportunity to give Juventus the lead!

"It's harder to kick this kind of ball than to score!What the hell is Pierrot thinking?!" witnessed Pierrot's missed chance, Capello couldn't help but stomp heavily on the sidelines. He already didn't look down on the Zebra Prince, and the dissatisfaction in his heart became even stronger, "No, I must tell Moggie this summer, I must bring Falcao to Turin." Otherwise, it would be impossible for Juventus to make a breakthrough in the Champions Cup if Pierrot wasted an opportunity!"

Once you have a preconception about a player, you will never change your opinion easily. This is also the common problem of Capello, no, or even the Italian coach of the same era as Capello. Among them, the more famous examples are Robert Baggio and Saki, Baggio and Capello, Baggio and Lippi, etc......

It stands to reason that although Pierrot does not have the unforgettable aura he had at his peak, he is much stronger in his competitive state than when he was called the "Prince of Penalties", and he has become more calm and experienced in handling key balls. But the problem is that Capello selectively ignored these improvements of Pierrot and focused on these mistakes of Pierrot!

If it were replaced by Ibrahimovic, who was very favored by Capello in his previous life, then the situation would be completely different. The Swedes at the time had scored zero goals in the Champions League knockout rounds during his time at Juventus, but Capello was never seen criticising Ibrahimovic for this. So, Pierrot wasted an opportunity and was blacklisted by Capello. It's not so much that Prince Zebra is incompetent, but that Capello didn't give Pierrot an equal chance to compete at all!

In this way, without Pierrot's knowledge, Capello made up his mind to replace Prince Biancones with Falcao or another striker in the summer!
