Chapter 236 makes a fuss about Cannavaro

Twenty minutes later, the players warmed up and returned to the locker room!

Gao Bo washed his face in the sink in the away team's dressing room to let the cold water stimulate his spirits and make him look more energetic.

In a way, Juventus were Luton's first tough opponent in the Europa League.

The format of the group stage is not the same as the knockout stage, and even a loss is not a big deal, as long as the final points can be ranked in the top two.

And in Ajax, which met in the top 32, Gao Bo actually didn't pay much attention to it.

The current Ajax is not the Dutch super giants who dominated the European continent before, they are now almost unable to keep their position in the Dutch First League, where is the strength to compete in Europe!

Juventus is different.

Even if Juventus are not in good form in Serie A right now, they still have a big team with a group of world-class players, and any team in the world will feel the pressure against such a team, let alone Luton.

Once the players were back in the dressing room, Gao Bo began his final pre-match mobilization.

"For the last week or two, we've been preparing for this game!" Gao Bo said.

Indeed, since the results of the draw, the team's training has been revolving around Juventus.

"Juventus are really strong, I have to stress that!" Gao Bo pointed to the tactical board, "We have to be especially careful of Piero, even though he is thirty-six years old, but if we let our guard down on him at any moment, we will be punished!! ”

"And Amaury!!" Gao Bo continued, "Jeffrey!! When the soccer ball flies in the air. Don't let him hit the ball!! ”

Jeffrey nodded, "Leave it to me, Boss!" ”

Amaury's aerial skills are very strong, and the two striker pairings at Juventus can be considered a classic two-striker pairing, Amaury controls the ball high and Piero's footwork makes him a dangerous player when he has the ball.

And behind the two strikers is the attacking midfielder Diego Ribas da Cunha from Brazil!

The midfielder from Brazil is a must in terms of ball possession, dribbling, long-range shots, and free-kicks!

Ferrara's Juventus is accustomed to using a 4312 formation, and standing behind the two forwards is attacking midfielder Diego!

"N'Golo! Restrain him! ”

Kanta nodded, he was playing against Diego in this match.

......

On the other hand, in the dressing room of Juventus, Ferrara is also emphasizing some precautions to his players.

"They have the main squad for this game and we have to be vigilant about that!!" Ferrara emphasized.

However, there are not many Juventus players who listen carefully to what Ferrara says, due to the decline in performance, Juventus players know that the manager has not been in the head coach position for a long time, and after Ferrara said this, there are still many Juventus players who disagree.

It's just a third-tier team, how strong can it be? To send the main force to such an opponent, Ferrara doesn't know what to think in his head.....

However, the players did not embarrass Ferrara on the spot, at least they still maintained respect on the surface, because in the dressing room, at least Buffon, Piero and other bigwigs still supported Ferrara.

"In the Europa League group stage, they beat Roma in both legs!"

When Ferrara said this, the Juventus players finally got serious.

Roma are now second in Serie A, with Claudio Ranieri's side finding their form quickly after an initial period of turmoil, with a winning streak that has allowed them to catch up with Inter Milan, and now Jose Mourinho's side are feeling the threat from Roma.

"They're a good team on the counter-attack!" Ferrara has clearly studied Luton, "Sometimes they press up high up the pitch, sometimes they strangled in midfield, and they were very disciplined at the back. It's a defensive-oriented team! ”

"And for us, the key to this game is to attack, don't expect the opponent to take the initiative to attack, and then we will fight back!!" Ferrara said, that's for sure.

Could Luton still be able to take the initiative? Gao Bo would not do such a stupid thing!

"Don't concede the ball in the front court easily, if there is a sign of counterattack, kill it as soon as possible!!"

Ferrara said, clenching his fists.

He was the only one in the dressing room.

...

When the two sides lined up under the leadership of the referee, it was already ten minutes later.

Juventus fans set off a large number of fireworks in the stands.

This was a feature of the Italian stadium, and it was later banned by the FIFA because it was so dangerous to set off fireworks.

However, Gao Bo finally saw the original Italian grandstand fireworks show in the stands.

A lot of smoke filled the stadium, making the visibility of the stadium very low.

Surrounded by smoke, players from both sides appeared on the pitch.

......

The game after the opening kick-off seemed to have developed in the same way Ferrara had expected.

Instead of using their favourite tactics of pressing up front on the road, Luton Town stepped back and started defending.

Ferrara was even more relieved when he saw this, as if everything was going according to him.

However, he still frowned slightly when he saw Luton's players.

Not 442, but .... 433？！

Adam White played on the left wing, with Vardy in the centre and Antoine Griezmann on the right!

The midfield trio is Drinkwater, N'Golo Kante, Kevin Keane. N'Golo Kante dragged back in the middle, with Linkwater and Kevin Keane on the left and right up front.

This is a typical 433 midfield position.

Anyway, it's all defensive counterattacks, what's the point of changing the formation to 433?

Ferrara discovers that not everything is as he expected.

It's like when he saw Luton's counterattack, Ferrara was scared that a heart attack was about to come out.

Diego tried to break through Kante, but the unassuming little man made the Brazilian suffer.

He feinted twice and then tried to break through from the right side. He's already figured out that as soon as he breaks past Kante, he'll shoot right away!!

As a result, N'Golo Kante quickly turned and slammed the ball back with his heels, and Diego, who didn't react, crashed into Kante's back and was knocked to the ground.

Don't look at Kante's height, but he is very solid!

By the time Diego fell to the ground and spread his hands to complain, Luton's counterattack had come!

Griezmann won the ball on the right and then diverted a wide diagonal long pass!

The ball was played from the right to the left, and Adam was found accurately.

Adam didn't dribble the ball afterwards and instead crossed the ball to Jamie Vardy before running forward himself.

Vardy took the ball and spun it to the right.

Griezmann on the right inserted a push to meet the ball, and the ball passed diagonally into the penalty area!!

In the penalty area, Adam had already run to Cannavaro's defensive zone, he took the ball and immediately turned around, and then dribbled the ball down, the aging Cannavaro couldn't keep up with Adam's explosive power all of a sudden, and could only watch Adam break through from himself.

Immediately after that, Adam immediately got up and crossed!

Jamie Vardy tried to tackle in the middle, but Chiellini defended well, reaching out to block the ball before Buffon quickly fell to the ground and picked it up in his arms.

Not long after the game began, Luton's counter-attack created a great threat, and if it wasn't for Chiellini's stumbling in front of Vardy, Vardy would certainly not have let it go.

Chiellini is also a master of the arts, in which area, dare to use such footwork to block the ball, this kind of ball will cause an own goal if you are not careful.

Ferrara breathed a sigh of relief, and as he mentally reviewed Luton's attacking hand, he realized something more different.

The game had just started and Luton's counter-attack looked the same as they had done before, albeit with a slight difference.

The three strikers are very flexible and their passes seem to have a certain purpose.

Ferrara was keenly aware that Adam's movement was purposeful, and his purpose was ....... Probably Cannavaro!

What Luton's three strikers share in common is agility and explosiveness.

The 37-year-old Cannavaro has rich defensive experience, he used to be the world's first-class central defender, but the physical condition of Cannavaro at this age is definitely not as good as before!

Luton's side... I'm afraid I just want to make a fuss about this!
