"The ball is scored! One to zero! Didier Drogba scored!" Andy Gray, who appeared in the live broadcast room, took a look at the time first, and the surprise in his words was beyond words. "Less than five minutes after the game began, Tottenham knocked on Udinese's gate and scored the first goal!"

It has to be said that George's tactical arrangement just caught Udinese's life goal. With Martin Jorgensen and David Pizarro leaving the Friuli Stadium one after another, Montari was left in the midfield, and Udinese's control over the game declined significantly. Faced with Tottenham players' fierce offensive and active frontcourt pressing after the opening, Udinese's player who was not used to losing the midfield commander seemed to be at a loss - Obedo made a mistake under Davis' press and mistakenly passed the ball to Drogba, "assisting" the Ivory Warcraft scored!

Less than five minutes into the game, the result was a heavy blow to Udinese's morale. Therefore, after the game restarted, Udinese players quickly lost the ball and were pushed to their own half by Tottenham!

In the 22nd minute of the game, Robben's change of direction at the front of the penalty area forced Betoto to foul him, and the referee awarded Tottenham a frontcourt free kick. The Dutch Pan personally took the free kick 24 meters away from the goal and directly sent the free kick behind Desanctis, 2-0!

Robben's goal made the morale of Udinese's team even more depressed in the following time. Taking this opportunity, Tottenham players continued to launch a fierce attack on Udinese's goal. Obviously, they believed in and followed the concept of "take your life while you are sick", intend to lock in the victory of this game before their opponents come back to their senses!

It is not a pity that Udinese players lack fighting spirit in adversity. If any player had seen the club's senior management not making any major signings in the transfer market for the whole summer, but instead took advantage of the team's opportunity to enter the Champions League and sold several absolute main players at a high price. Not to mention, even the head coach Spaletti, who led them to the fourth place in Serie A, also made another gain this summer, which undoubtedly deepened the discouragement and disappointment of Udinese players. In this case, they naturally could not show much fighting spirit!

You see, even our senior executives don’t have the idea of ​​letting the team go further in the Champions League. They just plan to make a fortune and focus on the league. Why do we have to work so hard? This is the real thoughts in the hearts of Udinese players at this moment!

Although Cosmi, who saw that the situation was not good, replaced Dinatale to change the team 3-4-3 during the halftime break, trying to help the players regain their feelings when they played under Spalletti and to regain the unfavorable situation of being behind in the score. However, Cosmi's replacement adjustment did not achieve the expected effect. Instead, he further lost control of the game because of one less player in the midfield!

Don't forget that the reason why Udinese can gain a foothold in the Serie A, which attaches great importance to defense with a very aggressive 3-4-3 formation is mainly because they had teams like Martin Jorgensen and David Pizarro who were in the midfield and were able to continuously deliver shells to the front line, allowing the team to maintain strong attack power and alleviate the defensive pressure in the rear. Now, Udinese does not have such a midfield commander on the court, and the breakthrough on the side has become no longer sharp because of the departure of Jankulowski and others. The stingy management is unwilling to pay for the strengthening of the lineup, which has caused Udinese's originally perfect tactical system to have extremely huge loopholes, which has led to Wuji being completely suppressed by Tottenham in this game!

In the 51st minute, Tottenham expanded its lead again. Robben used his speed to break through Betoto's defense on the left and then passed back in the back triangle near the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area. Drogba, who followed up in the middle, blocked San Sini, and pushed the ball to a far corner at the 12-yard point, rewriting the score to three-to-zero!

Facing Drogba, whose physical fitness is comparable to that of Vieri at the peak, Saint-Sini, who will be 39 years old in one month, is still in full swing. Although the former Argentine international is still in consciousness, his strength and speed have declined seriously and he cannot withstand Drogba's impact like a heavy tank. Montali, who is responsible for protecting the defense line, is busy dealing with the attacks of Robben and Ronaldo, and has no time to help Saint-Sini defend Drogba, resulting in almost loopholes in Udinese's three-center-back system!

It is difficult to put enough pressure on the opponent's defense line on the offensive end like last season, and his control over the game is not as good as before. Udinese, who changed the formation 3-4-3, naturally became full of loopholes in defense. In the following time, Ronaldo first took a header from Alonso in the 58th minute, helping Tottenham expand its lead to four goals; then, Drogba scored the fifth goal of Tottenham in this game ten minutes later, and successfully scored a hat trick!

Although this is not Drogba's first hat-trick in his career, the Ivorian Warcraft is very excited to be able to perform so well in the first game of the Champions League. Especially when Larson scored consecutive goals in the early stage of the season and Klose won the best scorer in the summer Federation Cup, Drogba needs to show enough convincing performance to consolidate his main center position!

In the end, when the German referee Wolfgang Stark, who enforced the game, blew the whistle to the end of the game, Udinese players glanced at the bloody five-to-zero score on the big screen, and immediately rushed into the player channel without looking back. He suffered such a big defeat in the first game of the Champions League group stage. Even in the away game, the opponent was Tottenham Hotspur, the defending champion, which was really embarrassing!

Also hit by Cosmi. The Udinese coach originally planned to become famous in this game and prove his coaching ability, so as to open a door for coaching a higher-level team like Ancelotti and Lippi. Now, Cosmi does have the popularity he wants, but the effect is completely negative - there are mistakes in tactical arrangements and personnel use, resulting in Udinese losing to Tottenham Hotspur in the first five-goal group match of this season's Champions League. No matter how you look at it, Cosmi, as the team's coach, can't stand it!

At the same time, with five goals in the first Champions League game, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Udinese with five goals in the first round of the Premier League, four days later, relying on Klose's goal in the last moment of the first half to defeat Aston Villa 1-0 at Villa Park Stadium, leading the standings with a six-game winning streak!
