Please tell me the difference in the meaning of these two sentences

Hello,

What is the difference in the meaning of the following sentences, please? I feel there is a difference. When speak [1], I feel there is some sort of emphasis on "for the debate", while, when I speak [2], I feel that emphasis on the verb "trained".

1- He was trained especially for the debate.

2 -He was especially trained for the debate.


Thank you!
