My name is Colani

Chapter 465: Champion Battle 1

Capello's tactics are very conservative. For Juventus, they don't need three points. They only need one point to win the championship. Juventus under Capello has always been like this. As long as they have an advantage, they will never let the game open.

In the Champions League match against Arsenal, Capello's team lost two goals to the opponent at Highbury Stadium in the first round, but how did Capello do in the second round back at the Olympic Stadium in Turin? ! He still put defense first. He was two goals behind, so why was he still conservative? !

The tactical choices in the two rounds made them be criticized by Italian media reporters, but the old coach did not move at all. He still made up his mind to focus on defense in this game. Of course, the defensive tactics in this game were not wrong.

Other coaches would do the same as him!

Trapani pressed the opponent from the start, pressed the formation, and filled the midfield and frontcourt. In the third minute, Klose counterattacked Emerson on the spot, and Trapani almost scored a goal with a counterattack on the spot.

Buffon miraculously blocked the header of the national team's Tony in front of the goal!

Buffon has also been involved in scandals recently. He was exposed by the media for participating in gambling. Players who participate in gambling and are related to Serie A will be severely punished. Hugo has repeatedly ordered his team not to allow players to participate in gambling.

It seems that Buffon's state has not been affected by the phone gate and gambling scandals. He just went down to the ground in a very chic manner and saved the ball beautifully!

Tony sighed with his forehead. He was in a good position just now, and Ribery's pass was also in place, giving him enough time to adjust the shooting angle. Unfortunately, the ball he chose was still saved by the brave Buffon!

"Woo wow!" The home fans made a regretful sound. Buffon was the protagonist. The fans immediately reacted and cursed Buffon, and the slogans mocking him were also displayed.

"Our Luca never gambles!"

The fans of Trapani were very loud and booed all the time. No matter who got the ball, Juventus would face boos from the home court. However, the Juventus players who had come through the storm were not afraid. Under the guidance of Capello, they retreated comprehensively, went back to deep defense, and tried their best to resist Trapani's attack.

Trapani's midfield duo Pizarro and Essien were in good form today and reached a new peak. The interception and organization were very effective. Klose's retreat and support helped them a lot.

Compared with the opponent, Trapani's midfield is undoubtedly better at control. Even in Juventus' half, it is not easy for Juventus to regain the ball.

However, their better advantage over Trapani is physical fitness. Juventus seems to have a lot of advantages in physical confrontation and uses their bodies to stop Trapani's operation.

Fouls continued, and Banti's whistle sounded frequently. Once the fans saw Juventus players foul Trapani players, they would definitely boo loudly.

Banti withstood the pressure and did not give Juventus a yellow card. The enforcement was actually quite fair. It was originally a positional battle. Juventus was not being counterattacked, so they would not be stupid enough to use tactical fouls to stop Trapani. They often made some small moves in the confrontation, which was not a big problem.

This is normal. Trapani also committed fouls!

The midfield was good, but Trapani did not play as well as he should have on the wing today. Juventus worked hard on the wing defense. Camoranesi and Nedved returned to defense a lot. They and the full-backs on both wings formed an iron gate to limit Trapani's cross from the wing. Trapani's cross success rate was too low.

Crossing from the wing is Trapani's traditional tactic. Under the strict restrictions of Juventus, Ribery and Messi's explosive point effect was not very good, and the offense was deadlocked.

"Juventus is Juventus after all. Their willpower is really tenacious!" Hugo looked at the situation on the court and couldn't help but sigh.

Juventus still maintained strong cohesion and tactical discipline despite so many changes, which was beyond Hugo's expectation. He did not dare to guarantee that Trapani's players could do it better under the same circumstances.

Carraro, who was sitting next to Hugo, heard Hugo's sigh and couldn't help but chuckled, but didn't say anything.

In his opinion, the most important reason why Juventus and Milan stood firm was their own strength. They were too strong, and other teams were far behind them. Others just paid too much attention to their dark side.

Inter Milan missed the championship twice, but can Juventus really be blamed for that? ! They themselves are the biggest problem!

"After all, they are a century-old giant, and their heritage and temperament are still there!" Julia Bonaparte took over Hugo's words and said.

"You also understand football!" Hugo was happy.

"Why can't I understand football? I am a fan of Trapani and Naples!" Julia Bonaparte said.

"If you are a Trapani fan, you are a Trapani fan. What's the point of talking about Naples? Naples is out of the question!"

"Who says I can't like two teams?!" Julia Bonaparte said.

Hugo was speechless. There is indeed no legal restriction.

The game is still going on in the stadium. Juventus players seem to have long been accustomed to their control being reduced in strong matches. They will sometimes be in a passive position like this when playing against the two Milan giants.

However, their ability to seize opportunities is one of their excellent qualities!

The game lasted for more than 30 minutes, and the atmosphere on the field was still warm. Trapani's offensive slowed down involuntarily. From the 34th minute to the 41st minute, Juventus actually occupied the upper hand. There were several good opportunities at the beginning, and three shots were formed!

However, they did not score. Deschamps was worried on the sidelines. The morale of the players was more or less affected after a long time of attack.

After surviving the difficult period, Juventus gradually had some rules, especially they gradually improved in the midfield confrontation.

However, like Trapani, they also have a special liking for side passes. After all, everyone plays with two center forwards, and the quality of Juventus's two center forwards is not worse than Trapani's.

Ibrahimovic is tall and heavy, with excellent confrontation ability and delicate footwork. It is hard to believe that he is a big man over 1.9 meters tall.

Trezeguet is a top finisher on the offensive end, and his chance conversion rate is top-notch among forwards.

But they are not as good as Trapani's striker duo this season. Toni and Klose are the most goal-scoring pair among all Serie A teams.

In the 43rd minute, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Banti gestured to the fourth official for two minutes of stoppage time. The first half of the game was normal and the stoppage time was reasonable.

Juventus sent a sideline ball, Ibrahimovic leaned on Essien and headed the ball to Emerson.

Trapani's defensive position was good. Emerson controlled the ball and passed it to Zambrotta on the wing. Zambrotta and Camoranesi made a forced two-pass cooperation, which was not very successful.

Zambrotta made a cross in a hurry. His cross was of poor quality, but it was a bit high and a bit floating. It flew directly to the near corner. Kameni pushed the ball over the crossbar and Juventus got a corner kick opportunity.

Set-piece opportunities are good opportunities for Juventus. They have a clear advantage over Trapani. Trapani's set-piece defense this season cannot 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 of which resulted in attacks.

Camoranesi took a corner kick, and several Juventus players rushed to the point in Trapani's penalty area. Essien, who was defending Cannavaro, was blocked by Ibrahimovic in a misaligned run. He was a step slower, and Cannavaro headed the ball in front of the goal. Kameni reacted quickly and blocked the ball, causing chaos in the penalty area. Trezeguet won in the chaos, poked the ball first, and sent the ball into the goal!

At the end of the first half, Juventus, who was at a disadvantage, actually took the lead with a set-piece!
