193 Battle of the Champions 1
Capello's tactics are very conservative, for Juventus, they don't need three points, they only need one point to win the title, and Juventus under Capello have always been like this, as long as they have the advantage in hand, they will never let the game open.
Champions League matchup against Arsenal, the first leg at Highbury Stadium, Capello's team lost the opponent by two goals, but the second leg returned to the Turin Olympic Stadium, how about Capello?! Still put defense first, two goals behind, and still keep a ghost?!
The tactical choice of two rounds made them spray him wildly by Italian media reporters, but the old coach did not move at all, and he still made up his mind to focus on defense first, of course, the defensive tactics in this game cannot be said to be wrong.
Other coaches would do the same!
From the beginning of the kick-off, Trapani pressed the opponent, the formation was pressed, the midfield was full of personnel, and in the third minute, Klose counter-attacked Emerson on the spot, and Trapani played a counter-attack on the spot and almost scored a successful goal.
Gianluigi Buffon miraculously blocked Toney's header in front of goal!
Buffon has also been involved in scandals recently, he has been exposed by the media to be involved in gambling, players are involved in gambling, and those related to Serie A will be severely punished.
It seems that Buffon's state has not been disturbed by the telephone gate and the gambling turmoil, and the ball has just been very dashing, and the save is beautiful!
Toni held his forehead and sighed, he was in a good position just now, and Ribery's pass was also in place, giving him plenty of time to adjust the angle of his shot, but unfortunately the bounce he chose was still saved by the brave Buffon!
"Wow!" The home fans made a cry of regret, Buffon was the protagonist, and the fans immediately scolded Buffon as if they reacted, and the slogan of sarcastic ridicule was also lit up.
"Our Luca never gambles!"
The Trapani fans are loud and booing never stops, Juventus will face the boos of the home stadium no matter who gets the ball, but the Juventus players who came from the wind and waves are not afraid, they retreat fully under the guidance of Capello, and the defense is very deep, and they try their best to resist Trapani's attack.
Trapani's midfield duo of Pizarro and Essien today has reached a new peak of form, with the interception organisation being very effective and Klose's drop-back receiving of the ball helping them a lot.
Trapani's midfield is undoubtedly more controlling than the opposing side, and even in the Juventus half, it will not be easy for Juventus to regain possession.
However, their advantage over Trapani is better in terms of physical fitness, and Juventus seem to be able to stand up a lot in terms of physical confrontation and use their bodies to stop Trapani's operation.
Fouls continued, Banty's whistle sounded frequently, and fans must have booed when they saw a Juventus player foul on a Trapani player.
Banty withstood the pressure and did not give Juventus a yellow card, law enforcement is actually fair, it was originally a positional battle, Juventus was not beaten back, and would not be stupid enough to use tactical fouls to stop Trapani, they often make small moves in the confrontation, which is not a big problem.
It's normal, Trapani also has fouls, okay!
The midfield is good, Trapani on the wing did not play as well as he should today, Juventus worked the side defense, Camoranesi and Nedved defended a lot, they and the wing-backs formed an iron gate to limit Trapani's crosses from the side, Trapani's cross success rate was too low.
Wide crosses are a traditional tactic of Trapani, and under the tight constraints of Juventus, Ribery and Messi's explosive points are not very effective, and the attack is deadlocked.
"Juventus is Juventus after all, and their willpower is really tenacious!" Hugo looked at the situation on the court and couldn't help but sigh.
Juventus has maintained a strong cohesion and tactical discipline despite all these changes, which Hugo had not expected, and he could not guarantee that Trapani's players would be able to do more than they would in the same situation.
Carraro, who was sitting next to Hugo, heard Hugo's exclamation, couldn't help but chuckle, and didn't say anything.
In his opinion, the most important reason why Juventus and Milan stand tall comes from their own strength, they are too strong, there are many gaps between other teams, and others just value their dark side too much.
Inter Milan have missed out on the title twice, but can Juventus really be blamed?! They're the biggest problem!
"People are always a century-old giant, and the heritage and temperament are still there!" Julia. Bonaparte took Hugo's words and said.
"You know the ball, too!" Hugo was happy.
"I can't understand the ball, I'm a fan of Trapani and Napoli!" Julia. Bonaparte said.
"It's a Trapani fan, it's a Trapani fan, talk about Napoli, Napoli is no play!"
"Who says I can't like two teams?!" Julia. Bonaparte said.
Hugo was speechless, there were really no legal restrictions.
The game is still going on in the stadium, and the Juventus players seem to have become accustomed to their loss of control in strong opponents, and they can sometimes be passive like this with Milan.
However, the ability to seize opportunities is one of their excellent traits!
The game lasted more than 30 minutes, the atmosphere on the pitch was still enthusiastic, but Trapani's offensive involuntarily slowed down, and Juventus actually occupied the top from the 34th to the 41st minute. There were a couple of good chances at the beginning, forming three shots on goal!
However, they did not score, Deschamps's heart on the sidelines was hanging, and the morale of the players was more or less affected after a long attack.
Juventus have gradually developed some discipline after surviving the difficult period, especially in their midfield duels.
However, like Trapani, they also have a soft spot for wide crosses, after all, everyone plays with two central strikers, and Juventus' two central strikers are no worse than Trapani's.
Ibrahimovic is tall and weight, excellent in confrontation and delicate in his feet, making it completely disbelievable that he is a big man over 1.9 meters.
Trezeguet's top finisher on the offensive end, with one of the best chance conversion rates among forwards.
However, they have not been as good as Trapani's attacking duo this season, with Toney and Klose being the top goalscoring duo of any team in Serie A.
In the 43rd minute, taking advantage of a dead-ball opportunity, Banty made a gesture to the fourth official for two minutes of stoppage time, and the first half of the game was decent, and the stoppage time was reasonable.
Juventus sent a sideline kick and Ibrahimovic leaned on Essien and headed it to Emerson.
Trapani defended well, Emerson controlled the ball and passed it to Zambrotta on the wing, and Zambrotta and Camoranesi made a forced one-two, which was not very successful.
Zambrotta rushed in and crossed, his cross was of poor quality, but a little high and a little floating, and flew straight into the near corner, Kameni flicked the ball over the crossbar, and Juventus got a corner.
Set-piece opportunities are a good opportunity for Juventus, they have obvious advantages over Trapani, this season Trapani's set-piece defense can not be said to be a weakness, but it is definitely not a master of defensive positioning, Juventus got two set-pieces some time ago, both formed an attack.
Camoranesi took a corner kick, several Juventus players in the Trapani penalty area grabbed points, a misplaced run, Essien defending Cannavaro was blocked by Ibrahimovic, a little slower, Cannavaro nodded the ball in front of the goal, Kameni reacted quickly, blocked the ball, causing chaos in the penalty area, Trezeguet won in the chaos, stabbed the ball first, stood up, and sent the ball into the gate!
Towards the end of the half, Juventus, who were at the bottom, took the lead with set-pieces!
