Three days was not a long time, and the Tottenham players only had time to make a slight adjustment, and the calendar had already turned to April 27. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOn this day, the entire Tottenham squad visited the Alp Stadium for the second time this season under the leadership of George. Today, they are here to challenge the supremacy of Italian football, the Bianconeri Juventus!

Although Tottenham Hotspur had a record against Juventus in the group stage, and even beat the Bianconeri 1-0 in the second round to get the initiative to qualify from the group with that victory, neither George nor the Tottenham players took Juventus lightly because of this - if Juventus's strength is really only what they showed in the group stage, then they will not be able to beat Arsenal and Chelsea in succession to get a place in the last four of the Champions League!

It can be said that compared with the group stage of the Champions Cup, Juventus, which has entered the knockout stage, has seen a big increase in the momentum and combat effectiveness of the entire team!

Therefore, in today's game, George unreservedly sent the strongest squad in his hands - goalkeeper Cech, Stephen Carr, Ledley King, Vidic and Evra in the backline, Mascherano, Xavi Alonso and Basturk formed the iron triangle in the midfield, and the attacking trident was Robben, Ronaldo and Miroslav Klose!

Although Patrice Evra played in the north London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal three days earlier, George still included the Frenchman in the starting line-up for the Champions League semi-final. After all, Baines, who is Patrice Evra's substitute, is too young and immature, and there are many mistakes that can be made in the face of the old Juventus, which will bury the team's efforts for a whole season!

That's not to say that George was biased against Bynes, but it was. With the ability shown by Baines, that is, the level of the main team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. Therefore, in a key battle like the semi-finals of the Champions Cup, George would never dare to send him to start!

Although Evra's fitness and competitive condition will certainly not be at his best in the case of two consecutive games in a week, for the sake of insurance, George can only let Evra continue to persevere, which is much better than watching Baines, who is several grades inferior in experience and ability, directly beaten by Camoranesi.

Here, by the way, for George's arrangement, Ribery's mood at this time can be said to be quite unhappy. You must know that before Robben joined Tottenham, he had successfully squeezed out the German star Bierovka and became Tottenham's first choice in the left winger position, and the future can be said to be bright. However, before Ribery could take the main position, George bought Alger Robben, who was a year younger than him but much more famous than him, from PSV Eindhoven!

If that's all there is to it, Ribery is confident that he will be able to hold Robben down at the beginning of the season with the advantage of coming to Tottenham for a year, and then prove his ability to George with practical actions, so as to retain his hard-won main position. But the trick is that Robben actually shined at the European Championship in Portugal last summer, and was one of the only few bright spots of the orange team under Advocaat in this European Cup, and it was the biggest contributor to the Netherlands' ability to advance to the semi-finals of the European Championship!

Although he was favored by the then French coach Santini with his eye-catching performance at Tottenham and caught the last train to Portugal, in the talent-rich French team, Ribery could not compete with the long-established Pire, who had a stunning season at Monaco, and Roten and Giuli. With little playing time, Franck Ribery was no better than he could only watch his team be knocked out of the quarter-finals by Greece early.

With such a stark contrast, Ribery was at a disadvantage in the race for the main spot with Robben. Especially after Robben returned from injury and won everyone's trust with his indisputable performance, and even practiced the unsolvable trick of cutting inside after changing positions, Ribery, who was obviously inferior to the game, could only get a chance to play as the main rotation of the Dutch Peter Pan.

To be honest, if it weren't for Tottenham's FA Cup, league and Champions League this season, and even faintly hoping to win the treble before being "killed" by Clattenburg, Ribery, who has long been dissatisfied with his position in the team, may not be as honest as he is now.

"When the season is over, let's talk to the boss about it. As he listened to George make the final pre-match set-ups in the dressing room, Ribery thought to himself. Ribery is still very grateful to George, who brought his penniless self up. The French know very well that if George hadn't brought him to Tottenham with a bleak future just after being terminated by Alex, I am afraid that he would no longer know where to beg for a living!

However, although he is very grateful to George, and Tottenham Hotspur has indeed offered him first-rate treatment, this does not mean that Ribery will be willing to play in the shadow of Robben. After all, it would be difficult for Ribery to win Domenech's trust if he was only a regular at Tottenham, and he would be part of the World Cup in Germany next year!

In order to be able to be on the stage of the World Cup, Ribery can only make this choice!

With Tottenham's starting line-up out of the way, let's take a look at Juventus' line-up. With the Bianconeri dominating the league in the league, Capello naturally has no intention of staying in this game. In other words, in the plan of the gold medal coach, it is his ultimate goal to grasp the home advantage in the first leg to win a victory and get the initiative to advance to the Champions Cup final!

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, the four defenders from left to right are Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Thuram and Zebina, Vieira and youngster De Jong play as double midfielders, Nedved and Camoranesi echo each other from left to right, Trezeguet and Pierrot partner in the front!

On the one hand, it was the runner-up of the Champions Cup two years ago, and the Italian football hegemon who had reached the Champions League final for three consecutive years, and on the other hand, it rose strongly last season, breaking the long-term blockade of Manchester United and Arsenal for the league championship and runner-up. Therefore, this game has even attracted the attention of countless fans before it has even started!

In this way, after the whistle of referee Merck, the much-anticipated Champions Cup semi-finals finally officially started at the Alp Stadium!
