Chapter 237: Cannavaro is old
The rest of the game seemed to confirm Ferrara's speculation.
Once the game resumed, Luton Town soon had another chance to counter-attack.
This time it was Antoine Griezmann who pulled the ball to Cannavaro's defensive zone.
When Griezmann received Vardy's pass, Griezmann did not make any other superfluous moves, he slammed his right foot, and then he was ready to pass Cannavaro!
As he got older, Cannavaro was far less reactive than he used to be, so when he faced Griezmann who rushed past him, he turned and hurried in pursuit, only to feel like his legs were no longer as strong as they used to be.
However, Cannavaro is very late in the position, he is the most Juventus player in the back position except for goalkeeper Buffon, so when Griezmann passed Cannavaro, he was already close to the bottom line, and at such a small angle, Griezmann still completed a good quality shot.
The football was saved by Buffon, and it was not easy to break Buffon's goal!
The fans in the stands immediately cheered and cheered for Buffon's performance.
Juventus' players are a little worried, this is the second counterattack from the beginning of the game to the present, each time it has become a threat, if the opponent continues to do so, Juventus' goal may be really dangerous.
The Juventus stars, who didn't take Luton Town seriously before the game, now realise that they are probably not a weak team to give them a chance to give!
When the game resumed, Juventus stopped pushing and began to patiently organise their attacks.
Juventus really deserves to be an old woman, and they have adjusted the situation so quickly!
Gao Bo sat back in the coach's seat with some regret. Both counter-attacks, although they created a lot of threat, were still a little closer to scoring.
Juventus' defence was solid, and despite taking advantage of Cannavaro twice, Juventus reacted quickly and immediately made up for the space on this side, with three of Juventus' midfielders returning to help protect Cannavaro's defence.
In this game, Gao Bo changed 433, in fact, to strengthen the counterattack, so that Adam's position is more forward, and he uses the speed and flexibility of the three players in the front court when counterattacking.
The opponent's defense has veterans such as Cannavaro and Gross, and although the young Griezmann and others are not as experienced as Cannavaro, if it is compared to speed and explosiveness, I am afraid that Cannavaro will suffer a big loss.
No matter how great a player is, he has to face the inadequacy of his career, and Cannavaro is no exception.
Now that Juventus is pressing up and attacking, Gao Bo is not in a hurry, anyway, the game time is still long, and his team still has a chance to counterattack.
......
Juventus were in good control and slowly controlled the ball through the half, keeping Luton at bay.
In the twenty-first minute of the game, Juventus created a chance that was very close to scoring!
Piero faced Sol Campbell's defence and the two veterans went head-to-head, with Piero gaining the upper hand, shaking off Sol Campbell and then firing a low shot from inside the box before the Luton players stepped in to defence.
Thankfully, Schmeichel reacted quickly and quickly got down to the ground to get the ball off the line.
This was followed by a Juventus corner!
Giellini grabbed a header in the box and the Juventus centre-back's header went straight to goal, but it was just off the mark and the ball hit the side-netting.
However, many Juventus fans in the stands thought that the goal had been scored, and the stands were immediately cheered.
However, when they saw Chiellini running back with his head in his hands, the Juventus fans also raised their hands regretfully.
Gao Bo was taken aback by Chiellini's header and was relieved when he saw that the ball didn't go in!
"Defend tighter! Don't let them have a shot in the box!! ”
Gao Bo couldn't sit still in the dugout, and he walked to the sideline and yelled.
Ferrara instead sat back in the coach's seat, he looked at Gao Bo, who was not calm at all not far away, and smiled a little proudly.
Despite the overall discipline of Luton's tactics, it didn't work much against Juventus, who have too many individual players.
The veteran Piero is now old and strong, he can still make waves in the frontcourt, Amaury although he has not scored many goals this season, but he is physically strong, plus he can run and grab, and the ability to grab points with high-altitude balls is also good, and the role of stirring up in the front court is obvious.
In the twenty-seventh minute, Piero once again had the upper hand against Saul Campbell.
This time Piero got up and shot from the penalty line, and the ball hit Saul Campbell's foot and refracted it, and Schmeichel couldn't do anything about it.
However, Sandro was quick at the back post and almost scooped the ball back into the box on the goal line, where Jeffrey cleared the ball under pressure from Amaury.
This made Luton's defense look rather awkward.
"There is still a big gap in strength..."
"It's probably debatable that Gao Bo will be the main player in this game, don't lose here at that time, and return to the league will also make Luton lose points in the league."
"It's called the result of wanting everything, and it's likely that you won't get anything."
The England reporters in the press box were talking, and with almost 30 minutes of play, Luton looked like they had little chance other than the opening few counter-attacks.
Jeffrey's clearance was stopped by Marchisio in midfield, and Luton's formation was flattened at this time, so Marchisio simply dribbled the ball over the center circle and continued to press up.
That's when Luton's players rushed out and they were going to take up defensive positions right away.
Marchisio looked at the crowd up front, and the midfielder couldn't find a way to continue passing forward, so he intended to cross the ball in the middle.
Melo picked up in the middle, but just after Marchisio got the ball out, Drinkwater was on the line!
"Drinkwater breaks the ball!! Luton's counterattack is coming!! ”
Lightkinson was very excited, at this time Juventus's formation was pressed, and there were probably only two central defenders left in the backline!
Jamie Vardy received a pass from Danny Drinkwater and immediately headed for Cannavaro.
Of course, Cannavaro knew that the opponent had to bully his weakness of lack of speed and explosiveness, and the experienced Cannavaro fought and retreated, keeping his distance!
But at this point Vardy continued to accelerate and soon closed the distance between him and Cannavaro.
Chiellini is on the other side, because the other two strikers of Luton Town also rushed up, they held back part of the defensive strength, and now the Juventus back line is good, right-back Cáceres has rushed to the front to participate in the attack, the only one who can contribute to the defense is the two central defenders, the left-back is now Cannavaro has to face Vardy alone!
On the football field, speed and explosiveness are undoubtedly one of the best ways to pass.
When Vardy slipped the ball past Cannavaro, Cannavaro had to reach out and flip Valdyra to the ground!
"Red Card !!!!"
Gao Bo on the sidelines raised his hands high!!
"Damn..."
When he saw that the referee had only given Cannavaro a yellow card, Gao Bo was indignant.
He rightly thought it was an absolute chance to score, so he thought the referee should have given Cannavaro a red card.
But it's not bad to have Cannavaro saddled with a yellow card.
In the next defense, Cannavaro is even more constrained!
Gao Bo looked at the time of the game, and it was now the thirty-first minute of the first half.
The score was still 0-0 and both sides had some chances, but neither was enough to convert into goals.
Cannavaro got up from the ground and had no objection to the yellow card given to him by the referee.
It was a tactical foul, after all, and Cannavaro was well aware of it.
Against young Vardy, young Adam White, young Antoine Griezmann.
Cannavaro now feels his old age very clearly.
If it was Cannavaro when he was young, in the face of a man like Vardy who was missing pure speed and explosiveness, where would Cannavaro still have to pay the price of fouls.
Cannavaro turned and walked back to the line, his head still held high.
How could this veteran throw in the towel so easily?
