Although Luton's next set-piece was picked up by Gianluigi Buffon in the box, most people have already seen some clues.
"It seems that Cannavaro's side has become a key defense for Luton to break through, and so far, Luton's three strikers have taken turns to find Cannavaro to break through this position, and have already created a yellow card for Cannavaro!" In Sky Sports' television footage, the camera lens locked on Cannavaro, who had just received a yellow card, and Lightkinson's voice was heard from the direction of the TV.
"Cannavaro is thirty-seven years old after all, and the speed and explosiveness of Luton's three forwards are very good, so when Cannavaro faces Vardy's unreasonable speed just now, the only way is to foul, if he doesn't foul, let Vardy rush into the penalty area with the ball, I'm afraid it will be more dangerous!" Redknapp said.
Gao Bo on the sidelines was pleased with the team's performance this time, and although the ball was not scored, it was not bad to make Cannavaro pay a yellow card.
There are still more than ten minutes left in the first half of the game, and if Juventus doesn't make any changes, Gao Bo plans to let the team continue to play like this!
Even if it ends in a draw, as long as there are away goals, Luton's away game will be considered to be done.
Ferrara certainly sees Juventus' current problems, and in the face of Luton's counter-attacks, Luton's side almost always takes the initiative to go to Cannavaro's defense.
They did it on purpose!
Ferrara is sure of that.
So Ferrara asked Juventus' midfielder Sissoko to recycle to the front of the defensive line and let Sissoko protect the defensive line!
In Ferrara's view, even if Sissoko returns, Juventus will have one less number in midfield, but at least it will greatly reduce the threat of Luton's counter-attack.
And even with one less midfielder, Ferrara believes Juventus can still keep Luton at bay.
And when Gao Bo saw Sissoko's location, his eyes suddenly lit up!
Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Gao Bo immediately called Drinkwater over to teach him a face-to-face opportunity.
When Drinkwater returned, it was discovered that the game had changed!
Luton suddenly stepped up their pressing in midfield and quickly snatched the ball!
Then Luton went on the attack at once!
In the 37th minute of the game, Adam cut in on the wing and fired a direct shot that was held by Luton Buffon.
Buffon then threw the ball out, and the ball quickly snatched it back.
Due to Sissoko's retreat, Juventus' midfield now seems to have turned into a 442 midfielder in a diamond-shaped position.
Up front, Diego was a pure attacking midfielder with limited contributions to defence, while Sissoko stood up front of the backline to prevent Cannavaro from continuing to be buffeted by Luton on the counter-attack.
As a result, Juventus has two players left in the midfield to scramble – Marchisio and Melo!
Kante plus Drinkwater and Kevin Keane came up to press, plus Griezmann also returned to the midfield, four players occupied this area of the midfield, so that Luton had twice as many players in this area as Juventus!
The numerical advantage also allowed Luton to establish a midfield advantage.
For a while, Luton's company rose instead, and in the final stage of the first half, at the Turin Olympic Stadium, the dominant attacking team was actually Luton!
In the 40th minute of the game, Griezmann took the ball in the midfield and advanced with the ball himself, at which time Sissoko had to come up to defend, otherwise Griezmann would be able to shoot directly after taking a few steps forward!
And as soon as Sissoko came up, Griezmann immediately passed the ball!
Adam cut in on the left and after receiving a pass from Antoine Griezmann, Adam immediately got up and shot at goal!
"Shoot decisively! Shoot at every opportunity!! ”
This is what Gao Bo emphasized to him before the game, so Adam executed it thoroughly!
"Adam White !!!"
"Oh.... Buffon!! Gianluigi Buffon made another great save!! ”
Adam White had a very good shot, the ball was very fast and it was close to the ground and into the corner.
However, Buffon was also quite fast, he moved a step and then fell to the ground, keeping the ball in the box, and then the ball was cleared by Chiellini!
The football flew over the midfield and into the front.
However, at this time, Amaury remained in midfield - Amaury's attitude towards the game was still very positive.
When he lost the position in the middle of the game, Ferrara asked Diego in the front court to go back to participate in the defense, but the Brazilian midfielder turned a deaf ear and acted as if he didn't hear Ferrara's voice, and Amaury was very active to go back to participate in the defense.
However, in this way, Luton can easily win the high ball in the front.
When the ball was in the air, Saul Campbell easily beat Piero when he headed the ball over to N'Golo Kante, who took the ball and crossed to Drinkwater on the other side!
After that, Drinkwater simply carried the ball forward on his own, because there were only two players in the Juventus midfield at this time, which simply could not cover such a wide width of the pitch.
Sissoko's position is awkward, if he goes up, I'm afraid the opponent will also pass the ball immediately, and if he doesn't go up, Drinkwater will kill with the ball.
In the end, Sissoko went up to intercept, and Drinkwater's purpose was also to move Sissoko's position, and as soon as Sissoko came out, he passed the ball to Glez.
Antoine Griezmann pushed the ball wide and Vardyra went wide.
Luton's three attackers were agile and Adam moved from the centre to the right to pick up Jamie Vardy.
Jamie Vardy took the ball down and faced Cáceres' defence, and he didn't choose to pass, but first pushed the ball sideways into the middle before smashing into the box himself.
Antoine Griezmann pulled to the other side, with three Luton attacking players switching positions frequently.
Adam played the ball to Antoine Griezmann, who then crossed diagonally into the box, where Vardy was already in the area.
After a few successive one-kick passes, Luton's three attackers in front of the field turned Juventus' penalty area upside down, which made Juventus' man-marking defense very difficult!
Vardy passes the ball directly in the box and he slams the ball on the other side with his heel!
Adam cut the ball away, and then when the ball was about to go out of the line, Adam directly kicked the ball to the other side!
Cannavaro has already seen Griezmann start, but his speed is still not as fast as Griezmann after all!
Griezmann whistled past Cannavaro and then fired directly with his right foot!
With such a close distance, Buffon didn't have any way!
1 to 0!!
Luton Town lead!!
