Chapter 227

Conte faced Conte, one was the captain of Cagliari and the other was the captain of Juventus. In fact, the two names are spelled differently in Italian, but the pronunciation is very similar.

However, the two are not only similar in name, but on the court, their playing styles are somewhat similar. The captain of Juventus is not good at technology, and his footwork is not delicate.

The captain of Cagliari is similar, perhaps with better skills, but that is also limited. He can score long-range shots when he advances, and he can act as a midfield barrier when he retreats. He runs actively and also has an unyielding fighting spirit.

So the duel between these two people is actually nothing to watch, because it is not an easy task for either of them to break through, let alone the two of them did not break through this task in the tactical system itself.

Passing the ball, under the interception of the Juventus captain, the Cagliari captain distributed the ball to the wing, from Poboski on the right.

Zambrotta can be said to be the best full-back in Italy in recent years. He is a corridor-type full-back, and he can still play on both sides.

Unfortunately, Poboski is not afraid of Zambrotta. After receiving a pass from Conte, Poboski did not hesitate and immediately rushed forward along the sidewalk.

Tie, this fight is considered a draw, Poborski did not really break through Zambrotta, and Zambrotta also failed to break the ball at Poborski's feet.

However, Cagliari still completed the first wave of attack at the beginning, because Poborski passed the ball to Maicon from behind. Although Nedved also retreated, Maicon did not give the Czech a chance and immediately kicked the ball into the penalty area.

Tony, the Cagliari center leaped high in the Juventus penalty area, overwhelming veteran Ferrara with a header that was blocked by Buffon.

Speaking of Juventus, there are many injuries in the defense. First, Turdo was injured for two weeks. Iuliano was suspended because of accumulated yellow cards. Even last season's steals king Lero Tallie also sat on the bench because he had just recovered from injury.

So Lippi sent this central defender combination is also a helpless move. Although Juventus's defense is not as gorgeous as AC Milan's, its strength is not bad at all, but there are too many injuries.

As the so-called illness comes like a mountain, Juventus has quite a lot of defensive reserves, and there are as many as six players who can play central defenders alone. Therefore, in this game, Cagliari really took advantage of it.

Speaking of this wave of offense just now, Ferrara obviously has no good way to face Tony, who is at the peak of his body. After all, it is impossible to expect a 37-year-old veteran to compete with a 24-year-old boy.

Not to mention that this 24-year-old boy is more than ten centimeters taller than him alone. You know, Ferrara is only 1.8 meters, which is not considered tall for the position of central defender.

However, height does not really limit a central defender, especially in Italy, there are not too many outstanding central defenders who are not tall, not to mention the older generation, and the height will not be tall enough to live in the Golden Ball two years later.

The same is true for Ferrara. When he was young, Ferrara was one of the best central defenders in Serie A, so what really limits Ferrara is age.

Time is fair, because its passage is eternal, but time is also cruel, no one can resist the corrosion of time.

Let's talk about the limited Ferrara, if he was a few years younger, then Tony might not have won the fight just now, and even if he won, he would definitely not be able to complete the breakthrough so easily.

Old, Tony may not know what this game represents to Ferrara. For Tony now, he only has one thought, and that is to score goals.

Goals can help the team win, and goals can increase the number of goals with Shevchenko. He is eager to score, he is eager to win, and he is even more eager to prove himself.

Juventus did not wait too long for the first wave of offense. After Cagliari completed two waves of offense, Juventus's first shot came as scheduled.

Coming from Camoranesi's cross from the wing, Trezeguet overwhelmed Hierro to complete a header.

Even though Hierro had Li Yi's BUFF bonus, Hierro was very reluctant in front of Trezeguet. Besides, the last inspection showed that Hierro's physical stats had also dropped a bit.

In fact, Hierro has already started to think about retirement. It is said that in Cagliari for more than half a season, Hierro has been very happy and learned a lot from Li Yi's side, so Hierro is considering whether to continue to study under Li Yi's account after retirement.

Of course, even if he retires, it can't be now. Hierro still has a little unwillingness in his heart. He still has to prove himself to Florentino, and Cagliari's outstanding performance is the best proof.

In the corner kick, Trezeguet's header was finally blocked by Petr Cech, and then Juventus kicked a tactical corner kick. Nedved received a pass from outside the penalty area and shot angrily. The ball flew directly out of the baseline and into the stands.

In the 9th minute, Cagliari completed the third shot of the game. This time it was not Tony but Zola, but it was Tony who passed the ball to Zola.

Cagliari's attack is on the left side. This is a confrontation between the French. Thuram is one of the best defenders in France and even in the entire football world. He is the hero of France's victory in the World Cup.

And Ribery is a rising star in France. His outstanding performance in Cagliari has attracted the attention of the French national team. In France, the voice for Ribery to enter the French national team is also getting louder.

In fact, this game is very important to Ribery, because the head coach of the French national team appeared in the stands, but Ribery didn't know it at this time.

In order to better observe Ribery, the head coach of the French national team, Santini, came to Italy this time in a very subtle manner. Before the game, almost no one knew that the head coach of the French national team would appear at the Del Abelbe Stadium.

Thuram is almost a defender with no shortcomings, whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, so this time Ribéry did not take advantage of this compatriot. The main reason why he was able to complete the shot was Balzaretti's insertion.

Although Ferrara couldn't withstand Tony's impact physically, he was experienced after all. This time Tony couldn't complete the attack, so he gave the ball to Zola.

However, Zola's shot was a bit reluctant. Under Montero's defense, Zola's shot was directly confiscated by Buffon.

Four minutes later, Juventus returned a kick to Cagliari again. Cagliari also did a very good job defensively, so Juventus's shot failed to pass Cech's ten fingers.
