Chapter 281 The Resentment of the Wild Boar
Even a team as steady as Juventus, which almost all opponents are desperate, would inevitably show a trace of panic when Drogba scored. Because they knew very well in their hearts how life-threatening it would be to be scored by Tottenham at this time!
Although Tottenham's defensive system is too rigid in the eyes of Juventus players, it can only be said that it has learned the fur of Italian defense. It is still quite far from Dacheng and has many loopholes that can make them profit from it. Compared with this advantage, Tottenham has a weak control over the game and is prone to omissions in fast-paced games. The weakness of not being good at random battles is even more deadly!
After all, no matter how many shortcomings the Tottenham's defensive system seems to be in the Juventus players who are experts, it can be seen that it is one thing, and whether it can be effectively used is another. And Juventus is unlucky. When Tottenham deliberately speeds up the offense and defense, they are unable to play the position they are good at, and it is difficult to arrange the defense as airtight as usual!
Of course, even if Juventus can stabilize the pace with Tottenham's intentional acceleration, there is no way to guarantee that the Zebras, who have Zidane and Deschamps in the 1999 season, had three consecutive years of Champions League finals, had all lost a good game and was reversed due to repeated attacks from Manchester United. George did not feel that this team's personnel configuration was not as good as Juventus back then, and he was able to successfully turn the tables when he was caught by himself!
Therefore, when Tottenham scored first, the pressure on Juventus players' shoulders suddenly increased in a geometric manner!
"Damn it, I'm careless!" At the same time, after seeing Drogba defeating Cannavaro, Capello on the sidelines kicked the ground in depression. "I really didn't expect that Tottenham would have discovered this weakness so quickly. If I had known this, it would be better to let Paul (Montero) play. At least with his physique and game style, Drogba would not have set up a goal opportunity so easily!"
At this moment, Capello could be said to have extremely regrets that he did not continue to make reinforcement requests to the old fox after winning Emerson and Cannavaro last summer, which led to Juventus having to face the dilemma in front of him. If he launched a large-scale attack, then Tottenham, which had two sharp swords, Robben and Ronaldo, would use a quick counterattack to teach the Zebra Legion as a man; and if he fought steadily, Tottenham, who had already tasted the sweetness, would not give them this opportunity at all!
Just when Capello was very upset about his negligence, Luciano Moji, who was sitting in the VIP box at the White Hart Lane Stadium, looked quite bad at this time. The vicious old fox of Mo can certainly see that the reason why Juventus became so passive in this game was entirely because of a player, that was Edgar Davis, who transferred from Juventus to Tottenham last summer!
If it weren't for the existence of the Dutch Wild Boars, Tottenham would not have discovered the problems with Juventus' lineup so early, so they could only choose to fight head-on with the Zebras. After Davis, the "insider" provided information, Tottenham's threat was obviously more than enough!
Moji was positive about whether Davis "betrayed" Juventus' intelligence to Tottenham. After all, as Juventus' former midfield pillar, Davis naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of the Zebras. Moreover, in the last year of Juventus's playing for, Davis and Moji had a very unhappy relationship with the contract renewal issue, and even rented to Barcelona by the old fox during the winter break. Therefore, Davis had sufficient reasons to take revenge on Juventus at this time!
"It seems that if you want to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, you must find a reliable midfield partner for Emerson in the summer." Looking at Davis, who was extremely active on the court, and Juventus, who was still led by Tottenham after the game restarted, the old Fox Mo couldn't help but start to secretly think about it in his heart.
Emerson is indeed very capable, otherwise he would not have been able to get into Moji's eyes and be reused by Capello. But the problem is that the speed of Brazil's midfielder is really average, and the range of movement is not large. He is more determined by his outstanding awareness and precise positioning to defend. This leads to a problem, that is, Emerson is far from enough to cover the entire midfield like Davis!
Although Nedved and De Jong's defensive attitude is positive enough, the former has to undertake a considerable offensive task, and the energy invested on the defensive end is naturally limited; the latter is limited by age and experience, and is cruel and lacks strategy, so he often gives Tottenham free kick opportunities in the frontcourt with good positions. Therefore, finding Emerson with a complementary style of a midfielder was naturally put on the agenda by Moji!
Although Juventus launched a very fierce offensive after re-telebrating, in fact, the Zebras, which are afraid of Alonso and Davis' ability to shoot, dare not invest too much force in the offense!
Although Davis left the impression on people is a fierce defensive midfielder, in fact, both in Juventus and in the Dutch national team, the Dutch Wild Boars are responsible for many organizational and offensive tasks, and are definitely not midfield engineers like Tachinadi, Gattuso and Zanetti who can only shine on the defensive end!
It is precisely because of this that George arranged for Davis and Harvey Alonso to partner with the midfielder. Compared with Bastulk, the Dutch Boars' organizational and scheduling ability is obviously much stronger, and they can be used as the starting point of the counterattack like Alonso. If the Turks are responsible for this work, the effect will undoubtedly be much worse!
Not to mention, Davis' resentment towards Juventus was simply a breakthrough in the sky. You know, as a meritorious player who dedicated his entire peak to the Zebras and won countless honors with the team, Davis really wanted to live his life in Juventus. However, Moji's stinginess and inhumanity disappointed Davis, and finally ran away from Bailu Lane in anger last summer.
I have made so many contributions to Juventus, what's wrong with asking for a pension contract?
With such a thought, Davis was naturally full of motivation in this game. Not only did he help Mascherano successfully protect the defense line behind him to avoid direct impact from Trezege and others, but he also actively participated in the offense and threatened Juventus' goal with passing and long shots!
In this way, before the end of the first half, Davis, who had been galloping on the court for more than 40 minutes, finally got his wish and got his penis through Buffon's fingers. Alonso took a corner kick on the right, and Ronaldo, who was ambushing the front post, headed the ball before Zambrota and swung the ball to the back point. Davis, who was rushing up, shot with his left foot 7 meters in front of the goal, and scored the ball into the near corner, 2-0!
