Chapter 200: Drogba's Outburst

"Fabio Cannavaro! Wonderful barb clearance!" Seeing Cannavaro's successful rescue in front of the goal, the commentator couldn't help but shout passionately in the live broadcast room, "Coach Capello should thank Cannavaro! If it weren't for his timely clearance, then Juventus would be in an extremely passive situation now! Thanks to Manager Moggi, he actually brought such a good player from Meazza to Alp, and the price paid was only a third goalkeeper who couldn't even play a game at Juve!"

At the same time as the commentator's voice sounded, there was also extremely enthusiastic applause from the stands of the Alp Stadium. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis is how Juventus fans are expressing their heartfelt thanks to Cannavaro, who moved from his arch-rivals Inter Milan this summer!

Everyone knew in their hearts that it would take more than just a high level of personal skill to complete this goalmouth rescue mission to ensure that they could make accurate clearances at high speeds, rather than doing a favor and putting themselves on their own. What's more, the players who do this are at the risk of injury!

You know, Alonso's lob shot went straight to the corner of the goal. In other words, if someone dares to play a difficult action such as a barb in front of the goal, the final result is likely to be that the shot is successfully blocked, and the player himself hits the goal post headfirst!

This is no joke. Hitting the goalpost at full speed could lead to injuries that could spell out problems for Cannavaro's prospects at Juventus.

Therefore, when they saw that Cannavaro, a newcomer who only joined Juventus this summer, dared to take such a huge risk to block Alonso's hanging shot, Juventus fans were immediately conquered by the fighting spirit shown by the captain of the Italian national team at this moment!

Don't forget, in the past two seasons, Cannavaro has been plagued by a cracked tibia, and was almost swallowed by the black hole of Inter Milan's famous star. And now, Cannavaro is desperate to block Alonso's shot when he has not long recovered from his injury, and his move has undoubtedly touched all Juventus fans who saw this scene!

Listening to the applause and cheers coming from the stands, Cannavaro gasped as he struggled to his way up from the turf with the help of Gianluigi Buffon and Thuram – although the 31-year-old is still in his prime as a defender, but this is largely due to his more experienced game and technical skills. In terms of physical fitness and recovery speed alone, Cannavaro is clearly not as good as when he was younger. Not to mention the goalmouth save just now, but Cannavaro managed to do it all the way back to goal from close to the center circle of the pitch. And this, almost consumed most of the power stored in his body!

This also means that in the next period of time, Cannavaro, who is in urgent need of recovery, may become a huge hole in the Juventus defense!

"It's terrible...... feeling that his legs are still a little weak and his breathing is extremely short, Cannavaro said with a wry smile, "Lilian (Thuram), Gian Luigi (Buffon), please leave it to you next, don't let the opponent break our goal!"

"Don't worry, old man. Hearing this, Buffon and Thuram patted Cannavaro on the shoulder and replied with a smile, "It's on us! You're all so desperate, if we don't show some real skills, we won't be sprayed with blood by the leaders and the fans who support us after the game?"

Obviously, Cannavaro's fresh and risky move to block Alonso's must-score kick had a huge irritating effect on the other Juventus players on the pitch - even Cannavaro is so desperate, so why shouldn't they give their best on the pitch as the newcomer who played for Juventus earlier?

However, the Juventus players and Capello still underestimated the strength of the opponent, especially Drogba's ability - in the 44th minute of the game, Ribery barely passed the ball under the sandwich of Camoranesi and Zebina, and Drogba, who received the ball with his back to the goal, leaned back, squeezed Cannavaro behind him, took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's stiff state to complete the breakthrough, and then accelerated suddenly, like a rampaging tank, and used his strength to knock Thuram directly out of the defense!

Seeing Drogba's movements, the referee of the game, "dentist" Merck from Germany, hesitated and did not blow the whistle in his mouth. In his opinion, it was Thuram who took the initiative to rush up to intercept, but he was ejected because of the large difference in strength between the two sides, and Drogba did not have any foul action at all!

You can't say that because Drogba is too strong, he is forbidden to use this part of his power in the game, or that he is sentenced to a foul on this ground?

"Oh no!" Capello screamed in his heart as Drogba easily knocked Thuram away and kept the Frenchman firmly behind him - the well-informed gold medal coach finally realized that this big black man in Côte d'Ivoire contained far more energy than he expected!

In Capello's previous predictions, Drogba's strength is at most about the same as Liverpool's Husky. And Juventus most of the time relies on the whole team to defend the opposing attacking players, and rarely competes with the individual ability of the defenders. In this way, Drogba, who has only a brute force and rough technique, is not a concern at all!

Now the situation on the field is completely different, Cannavaro, who is still recovering his strength, is unable to grab the card position as soon as he did before, to interfere with Drogba's receiving action, and Thuram, although he has enough speed and agility, is completely unable to compare with Drogba in terms of strength. These two factors combined to lead to a situation where Drogba single-handedly managed to take on the world's best centre-back pairing!

Drogba, who had formed a one-on-one stride, did not waste this great opportunity to score. In the face of Buffon, Drogba, who was sprinting at full speed, flicked the ball and rushed directly from Buffon's right side with the ball!

Seeing this, Buffon quickly fell sideways to save, while desperately extending his arms in an attempt to stop Drogba's next move. However, Buffon's pace was still a beat slower after all, and Drogba, who managed to dodge the vacancy, picked up a left-footed push and fired the ball into the unguarded gate in front of him!

Before half-time, Didier Drogba keenly seized a hole in the Juventus defence and broke through Gianluigi Buffon's goal to open the scoring for Tottenham!
