Chapter 200 Drogba's Outbreak

"Fabio Cannavaro! A wonderful backcouple clearance!" Seeing Cannavaro's rescue in front of the goal, the commentator couldn't help but shout passionately in the live broadcast room, "Coach Capello should thank Cannavaro! If it weren't for his timely clearance, Juventus would be in an extremely passive situation now! Thanks to Manager Moji, he actually brought such an outstanding player from Meacha to Alp, and the price paid was only a third goalkeeper who could not even play in Juventus!"

While the commentator's voice sounded, extremely warm applause came from the stands at Alp Stadium. This is Juventus fans who are expressing their sincere gratitude to Cannavaro, who has transferred from his arch rival Inter Milan this summer!

Everyone knows in their hearts that to complete this goal-based rescue mission, what is needed is not just high personal skills to ensure that they can make accurate rescues in high running, rather than making an own goal. More importantly, the players who perform this mission have to risk being injured!

You know, Alonso's sling shot went straight to the dead corner of the goal. In other words, if someone dared to play a difficult move in front of the goal, the final result is likely to be that the shot was successfully blocked, and the player himself hit the goal post!

This is not a joke. When you are moving forward, hitting the post will be very likely to be entangled by injuries, which will cause unnecessary trouble to Cannavaro's prospects at Juventus.

Therefore, when he saw Cannavaro, a newcomer who only joined Juventus this summer, dared to take such a huge risk to block Alonso's shot, Juventus fans were immediately conquered by the fighting spirit shown by the Italian national team captain in this moment!

Don’t forget that in the past two seasons, Cannavaro has been troubled by the tibia fracture and was almost swallowed by the black hole of the famous star Inter Milan. Now, Cannavaro has blocked Alonso’s shot without hesitation for a while, his actions have undoubtedly touched all Juventus fans who have seen this scene!

Listening to the applause and cheers coming from the stands, Cannavaro gasped and climbed up from the turf with the help of Buffon and Toulam. Although he was still in the golden age of defender at the age of 31, this was mainly because of his richer game experience and more skillful use of technology. In terms of physical fitness and recovery, Cannavaro is obviously not as good as his youth. Not to mention the rescue in front of the goal just now, Cannavaro ran back to the goal from the position close to the middle circle of the court. This almost consumed most of the power stored in his body!

This means that in the next period of time, Cannavaro, who urgently needs to recover his strength, may become a huge loophole in Juventus' defense!

"It's bad now..." Feeling that his legs were still a little soft and his breathing was extremely rapid, Cannavaro said with a wry smile, "Lilian (Turam), Gianluigi (Buffon), I'll ask you next, don't let your opponent break through our goal!"

"Don't worry, old guy." Hearing this, Buffon and Tulam patted Cannavaro on the shoulder and replied with a smile, "For us! You are so desperate. If we don't show some real skills, we will be beaten by the boss and the fans who support us after the game?"

Obviously, Cannavaro's move to block Alonso's must-scoring goal just now regardless of his own safety has played a great stimulating role for other Juventus players on the court - even Cannavaro, a newcomer, is so desperate. What reason do they have to play for Juventus earlier not to do their best on the court?

However, Juventus players and Capello still underestimated the opponent's strength, especially Drogba's ability. In the 44th minute of the game, Ribery barely passed the ball under the attack of Camoranesi and Zebina. Drogba, who was receiving the ball with his back to the goal, leaned back and squeezed Cannavaro behind him, staggered, taking advantage of the opponent's staggering state to complete the breakthrough, and then suddenly lifted it, like a rampage tank, and used his strength to knock Tulam who was defending it directly and flew out!

Seeing Drogba's actions, the referee of this game, the "dentist" Merk from Germany, hesitated for a moment and did not blew the whistle in his mouth. In his opinion, it was Turam who took the initiative to rush forward to intercept, but was bounced out because the power gap between the two sides was too large. Drogba did not make any foul action at all!

It can't be said that Drogba is too strong, so he is forbidden to use this part of his power in the game, or to judge him to be fouled on this reason? What else can I think of that kind of soft football!

"Oops!" Seeing Drogba easily knocking away Touram and keeping the French firmly behind him, Capello suddenly screamed in his heart. The knowledgeable gold medal coach finally realized that this black man in Côte d'Ivoire contains the energy he expected!

In Capello's previous prediction, Drogba's strength is at most similar to Liverpool's Husky. Moreover, Juventus relies on the overall defense against the opponent's offensive players most of the time, and rarely competes with the personal ability of the defender. In this way, Drogba, who has only a brute force and rough technology, is not worth worrying about!

The situation on the court is completely different now. Cannavaro, who is still recovering his physical strength, cannot grab the position as soon as possible to interfere with Drogba's catch movements like before. Although Touram is flexible enough, he is completely unable to compare with Drogba in terms of strength. These two factors are superimposed, resulting in Drogba successfully fighting against the best central defender combination in the world alone!

Drogba, who formed a single-strike force, did not waste this excellent scoring opportunity. Facing Buffon who was attacking, Drogba, who was sprinting, dribbled the ball and rushed directly from Buffon's right side!

Seeing this, Buffon quickly fell to the ground and saved the fire, while stretching his arms desperately to try to stop Drogba's next move. However, Buffon's degree was still a beat slower. Drogba, who had successfully flashed out of the room, swung his left foot and shot the ball into the unguarded gate in front of him!

One to zero! Before the end of the first half, Drogba keenly seized a loophole in Juventus' defense, broke through the goal guarded by Buffon, and helped Tottenham to open the record!
