Chapter 423: Fighting Juventus 3
"Now that half of the game is over, the two teams fought 0:0 on the court. What do you two think of the first half of this important game?!" At the end of the half, D'Amico announced half After the score, please comment on the first half.
"Generally speaking, neither team made any big mistakes defensively. Juventus has always tried to play its own rhythm, but Trapani did a good job of limiting them. I have to say Deschamps surprised me. He chose a method that is hard for us to believe. From a tactical level, Deschamps was temporarily ahead, but Trapani also encountered trouble on the offensive end! Juventus lacked offensive speed. They always take their time. Trapani lacks a master of movement like Klose. Messi and Ribery performed very well, but the last pass was almost meaningless! "Paul Rossi took the lead! gave his own evaluation.
"The game is a bit dull. Maybe the game will end in a draw, which is a good result for both sides!" Paolo Rossi predicted.
"No, no, no, this game will definitely not be a draw!" Lombardo disagreed with the veteran's point of view, "These two teams have too many decisive players!"
"Piero, Trezeguet, Nedvěd, Camoranesi, Messi, Ribery, Miku and Toni, they all have the ability to decide the game! Don't forget that there are still players on the Juventus bench. There's Ibrahimovic!" Lombardo began to name names.
Toni scored 17 goals in 18 games in the first half of the season, which was astonishingly efficient. Juventus's Trezeguet did not allow for more concessions and scored 14 goals in the first half. Trezeguet's His awareness and running position are better than Tony's, but he can't compare to Tony in terms of physical confrontation.
Although Thuram and Cannavaro are world-class central defenders, it still seems a bit difficult for the two to fight against Toni.
On the other hand, the partnership of Barzagli and Samuel prevented Trezeguet from being somewhat invisible. However, Trezeguet's invisibility is a normal problem. This guy is always invisible in the whole game. He will only find out when he scores a goal. Oh. , the killer is coming!
"Miku should be more bold. He helped his midfielder too much and distracted him a lot!" Lombardo is worthy of being a person who has been in Trapani for many years. He is very fond of his old friend. Very understanding.
If Miku can put more pressure on Juventus's center back and share Toni's courage, maybe Trapani's chance will come.
However, there are no absolutes in things on the court. The key depends on the choice. Miku is also a veteran. He has his own ideas about the game and his own choices on how to do it. Of course, the overall choice of the team depends on Deschamps' choice. .
The first half was both good and bad for Deschamps. It restricted Juventus' tactics, but the offensive effect was not very effective. For a while, he asked Ribery and Messi on the wings to strengthen. Cutting inside, trying to force penetration in the middle, Juventus's skills in defensive movement have been revealed. It is difficult. The defensive pressure is greater as you move to the middle, and you still can't penetrate. Messi and Ribery have two or three times. Without exception, all shots from the front of the penalty area were blocked. The world-class defender lived up to his reputation, and his blocking ability and awareness were very domineering.
At halftime, he first praised his players and praised everyone for a good job.
"Our thinking is correct! You can look back and see that our tactics prevented them from playing. This is a good job. We will still do this in the second half until we score!" Deschamps said loudly.
The players relaxed and listened to Deschamps' tactical arrangements. After the first half, everyone was quite satisfied with the situation on the court. However, for Trapani, they paid more than Juventus. Their running Trapani moved more actively in the first half than Juventus by running several kilometers. Mascherano and Essien in the midfield covered the most distance.
But there is no way. Juventus may be the best in Serie A overall, and their passing success rate is very high. If you want to force them, they can only fight for their defensive accuracy and give them every ball on the court at any time. There is a certain amount of defensive pressure on the players, forcing them to play the ball quickly!
Deschamps was also worried about the team's physical fitness and praised everyone for arranging the tactics for the second half. He asked everyone if they had the ability to continue running relentlessly. Everyone said yes in unison. Deschamps felt much more at ease and everyone's enthusiasm for the game was still impressive. Very satisfied.
Fifteen minutes passed in the midfield, and the players from both sides returned to the court again. The head coaches on both sides did not make adjustments to their personnel for the time being. Capello did not dare to take the risk of playing Ibrahimovic because his injury had not yet occurred. He has recovered, and since Del Piero has made great achievements in free kicks in recent times, he is also a little reluctant to give up.
When the game is in a stalemate, set kicks are often a good means of scoring. Whether or not Del Piero is there is a different concept for the team.
It is even more impossible to replace the top scorer Trezeguet. Invisibility is the norm and this is not a problem!
Deschamps whispered to Miku early. He told the fellow countryman that he would be adjusted in the second half. Who to use depends on the specific situation on the court. From the second half whistle, Pizarro, Li Tie, Kluivert , Cesar all began to warm up on the sidelines.
Every substitution adjustment means different tactical arrangements, and anything may happen.
Just returned to the court, maybe some Juventus players have not yet refocused, Trapani launched another wave of strong attacks. In the 47th minute, Ribery broke through Camoranesi on the wing again, and Camoranesi also pulled Ribery down with his hands, and Rossetti showed a yellow card again.
Everyone committed a lot of fouls in the first half, but Rossetti was kind and only gave Vieira and Jankulovski one each, and the others were verbal warnings. Camoranesi had a flying tackle on Essien in the first half and escaped a yellow card. This time pulling Ribery was not serious, but considering Camoranesi's foul in the first half, Rossetti gave him a yellow card without hesitation.
It's not okay not to give it. Trapani is not a vegetarian. Every time the opponent commits a foul, they always put pressure on Rossetti, which is not much worse than the experienced Juventus.
After Ribery stood up, he sent a set-piece. After Essien held the ball, Miku moved and sent a straight pass from the middle. Juventus' two midfielders made a fatal mistake and lost Miku. Miku dribbled the ball with big strides and came to the front of the penalty area to test Buffon with a long shot.
Vieira stretched out his long legs and shoveled from behind to block Miku, but he didn't touch the ball, but knocked Miku to the ground when he was about to kick!
Miku covered his feet and fell to the ground in pain. It was really painful. Vieira's shovel knocked down Miku's ankle.
Vieira and Emerson are world-class midfielders, but it doesn't mean they won't make mistakes. They will make mistakes, but many times there are teammates to help fill the gap, but there was no teammate to fill the gap just now. In order to stop Miku's shot, Vieira had to shovel from behind.
Trapani players were not happy about this. Deschamps remained calm on the sidelines. Due to face, he did not yell or get emotional. Instead, he walked to the fourth official and asked him to remind the referees on the field to give the correct penalty.
Vieira is a tough player. In the Premier League era, he had a higher chance of getting a red card. As the captain of Arsenal, the scene of him and Keane pinching each other's necks left a deep impression on the fans. After coming to Serie A, the tactical style here is completely different, and Vieira's chance of getting a card has dropped a lot.
But today they finally met their opponents. Trapani put a lot of pressure on Juventus. He had already received a yellow card earlier. Players from both sides crowded at the scene of the incident. Trapani obviously did it on purpose, deliberately making things worse and giving Rossetti a problem.
Rossetti first checked Miku's injury. Miku's ankle could no longer move. When he was about to exert force, he collided with Vieira's foot. It is conceivable that this time will not be easy!
Toni, Samuel and others have been putting pressure on Rossetti, while Piero and others have been arguing that Vieira did not mean it and it was normal physical contact.
