Chapter 240: Change and Change

"At the end of the first half, with Antoine Griezmann's goal in the 40th minute of the first half, Luton temporarily led 1-0 and now go into the break! Fifteen minutes later, the game will continue at the Olympic Stadium in Turin!! ”

Lightkinson's voice came from the television.

Fans across Luton are also rushing to fill their glasses with beer.

"Overall, the first half was a surprise to most people. Before the game, many media predicted that Gao Bo would give up this game, after all, the investment in the Europa League has a very big impact on the Luton League, and now they are ranked second in the league behind Charlton, but because they have to take care of the Europa League, so in the league, Luton has paid a lot of price, and their several points are lost after the Europa League or between two Europa League games! European competitions can be quite stressful for a small team like Luton! ”

'But in terms of this game alone, Luton were still doing well. Gao Bo is very good at taking advantage of the weakness of the opponent, Juventus's weakness is nothing more than that they are not used to fast-paced games, veteran players like Cannavaro can't keep up with such consumption when the pace is too fast, and Luton's advantage is that they are a very young team, and they are also very good at pulling the pace very fast! Redknapp added.

.....

Players from both sides walked into the tunnel one after another, Juventus's players had solemn expressions, while Luton's players were much more relaxed, and it could be seen from the looks of both sides how the two teams performed in the first half.

"I really didn't expect Luton to look like they are going to continue to play in the Europa League!"

An English journalist lamented in the press gallery that his words had caused a stir among English journalists.

"Gao Bo looks quite adventurous!"

"Isn't he afraid of the Europa League dragging down the league?"

"Speaking of which, to be able to force Juventus to be like this away from home, how far is this Luton strong?"

"Ha, if you want me to say that the strength of Serie A has dropped too much..."

"The glory of the Italians is long gone, and now the Premier League is the number one league!"

"Last season was a shame, three Premier League teams reached the last four of the Champions League, and Barcelona won the Champions League!"

"Hmph... The Catalans are just lucky.."

Last season, the three Premier League teams entered the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and the Premier League three England played against Lu Bu, but Barcelona finally won the championship, and the English must be quite unconvinced.

It is no longer the era of the Serie A mini-World Cup, with the Italian economy declining, especially after the financial crisis, Serie A has gradually declined, and the world's first league is now behind the Premier League and La Liga in many aspects.

Italian journalists were embarrassed.

The English were very loud, and the Italian journalist also heard what the British were saying.

They wanted to refute it, but they couldn't raise any confidence, after all, the Serie A giants are now behind England's third division.

So they can only hope for Juventus' performance in the second half.

.....

"Beautiful! Come on, Luton!! Knocking out Juventus!! ”

"Kill Juve!! Inter Milan fans stay!! ”

"Luton to advance! Come on!! ”

"One more in the second half, a steady !! in the quarterfinals"

On the domestic online forum, fans took advantage of the halftime to talk about it.

Serie A is still very well-established in China, and the old giants Juventus also have a considerable fan base in China.

However, on the Internet, the fans on the side are in favor of Luton.

This is because Juventus' fans tend to be older, and most of the people who like to watch games online are young. With the rise of the Premier League in recent years, La Liga's Galaxy and Barcelona are star-studded, and these teams are more attractive to young people than Serie A, which is now lacking fresh stars.

Juventus fans have few voices on the Internet, and most of the Chinese fans who stay up late to watch the game are also here to support Gao Bo - after all, he is his own compatriot, Gao Bo can lead the team in the third division to the last 16 of the Europa League, which in the eyes of many fans, this is a great thing for Chinese football. In addition, most people like to watch this kind of drama of dick silk counterattack.

The national sentiment combined with the dramatic nature of the Luton team itself has attracted a large number of fans.

....

The Turin Olympic Stadium gradually quieted down after the whistle at the end of the first half, and some of the fans in the stands took advantage of the halftime to solve their physiological problems, and some sat in the stands to rest, after all, after shouting half-time, the fans were also a little tired.

In the tunnel, all the players entered the dressing room, with Gianluigi Buffon and Cannavaro standing at the door of the home team's dressing room.

"You're still the best centre-back in the world, Fabio."

Buffon patted Cannavaro on the shoulder, they are old teammates, both at Parma, in the Italian national team and now at Juventus.

Cannavaro laughed.

"Ji'an, you don't have to comfort me!" Cannavaro reached for the doorknob of the locker room.

'I'm not a top centre-back anymore. Cannavaro pushed the door open, "Have you ever seen a top defender with such speed and reflexes?" ”

Buffon watched Cannavaro push the door into the dressing room.

Age is cruel for professional players, no matter how good a player was before, in front of the age level, I am afraid that he will always lose.

Thirty-two-year-old Buffon seems to see his own future.

I wonder who will take these gloves from my hand?

Buffon thought for a moment, then smiled.

No matter who wants to grab his position, just show your strength!

There are also some Italian media, especially in the south and Milan City, who are "worried" about who will succeed Buffon.

Lao Tzu is only thirty-two years old!

If you want to take over, just show your performance!

The position is grabbed, not let out!

Cannavaro pushed the door in and the Juventus player looked up at the veteran.

Cannavaro patted his chest: "It's my responsibility to concede the goal in the first half!!" ”

Cannavaro is very honest about this, he knows that it is because of this that he has been blown up, which has caused the team to be passive step by step, and even the goal he conceded has passed through his own defensive zone!

In fact, Cannavaro's form has been declining since his last two years at Real Madrid, with last season showing his exhaustion and his apparent inability against the likes of Leo Messi and Fernando Torres. Real Madrid suffered heavy defeats in important games at home to Barcelona and away to Liverpool, with Fabio Cannavaro's backline being the target.

Today's Cannavaro is no longer what he once was.

If Messi and Torres are the best strikers on the planet right now, it is understandable that the aging Cannavaro was bullied against them, but now he is only a striker of a third-tier team, and Luton's three strikers have made Cannavaro quite embarrassed!

Such a result was extremely painful and painful for Cannavaro, who had a strong sense of self-esteem.

Maybe it's time for you to leave!

Cannavaro was determined that he would retire at the end of the season!

Unbeknownst to Gobo, the humiliation of Cannavaro by three of Luton's nobodies made the former Italian captain make an early decision to retire.

"The blame isn't entirely on Fabio!" Ferrara walked in.

'It was my responsibility to fall behind in the first half, it wasn't what we were good at at because we were not good at it, the back line was unprotected, and the defenders were exposed to the impact of the strikers, which led to the goal conceded!" Ferrara said.

"In the second half, don't press the back three! We play the way we are good at it! Ferrara pointed to the tactical board.

'In the second half, two full-backs joined in the attack! Fabio!! ”

Ferrara looked at the other Fabio, Fabio Grosso!

Grosso looked up.

"You're going to have more assists in the second half, you haven't forgotten how to cross, have you?!"

"Of course not, sir!"

Although Grosso rarely presses up to attack now, this does not mean that Grosso has lost his offensive ability, and when necessary, Grosso can still contribute his offensive ability!

"In the second half we attacked from the wings!!" Ferrara stood up against the table and made a decision.

The players looked solemn, and after settling down, the Juventus players really paid attention to this opponent.

In the face of Ferrara's adjustment, they have nothing to say.

Strengthen the defense in the middle and attack from the wings. On the one hand, to contain Luton's counter-attacking threat, on the other hand, Juventus also need to attack!

In the other locker room, Gao Bo was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. He praised the players for their performance in the first half.

Especially the three attackers in the front court, their tacit cooperation in the first half made Gao Bo very satisfied, such tacit cooperation can not only appear in the counterattack, even in the offensive battle, the power of a continuous and fast pass is also huge.

"In the second half we need to pay attention to Juventus' counterattack, especially in the middle!" Gao Bo said.

He didn't know about the changes Ferrara made, so he didn't ask the team to make changes.

The winning team generally does not take the initiative to change.

A one-0 lead gave Luton more freedom of tactical choice.
