Chapter 40 Arrival in Turin The attention of the northern Serie A media has been diverted. Turin Sports Daily exposed the draft design of Juventus' jersey for next season. There is a tradition in Serie A: every time a team wins 10 league titles, a gold star can be embroidered on the jersey; every time a team wins 10 Italian Cup titles, a silver star can be embroidered on the jersey. Juventus is about to win the championship. Thirty Serie A championship trophies, three gold stars. The question of whether a third gold star could be embroidered on the jersey sparked heated discussions in the Apennines. Even the owners of several clubs personally came out to oppose it. The reason: Juventus was stripped of two championship trophies in the "Phonegate" incident. The media in the southern Apennines are more concerned about the next round of the "North-South War". They hope Roma can break Juventus' unbeaten streak.
We must not allow the Zebras to set a record of winning the championship undefeated throughout the season. It even brought up the goal line injustice between the two clubs in 1980, and the conflicts and contradictions in different historical periods, all of which were listed so that young fans would not forget the North-South dispute. Gao Qi hasn't been anywhere recently, and hasn't been shooting any commercials or participating in any duty-free events. Even on the first team's rest day, he would go to the field to practice shooting by himself. The assistant coaches did not stop them. With a big battle ahead, all they needed to do was not do high-intensity strength training. During this historical period, there were many famous coaches of top clubs who did not allow their players to do "high-load" training throughout the season, especially during multi-line operations. Trigoria training base. Bah! Bah! Bah! The football drew elegant arcs in the air, scaring away the birds on the branches. After half an hour. "Gao, how did you find the feeling of rubbing and shooting?" “It’s fucking amazing.” "Yeah, I also mastered the pass so suddenly. After practicing a certain number of times, my body has muscle memory." Bald Ivan clapped and praised. He looked at the young Chinese player in front of him and felt like he was playing a development game. From the youth team, to his first appearance in the first team and then to becoming a club hero, it is exactly the same as his resume in his youth. A blink of an eye. Serie A match day is coming. Gao Qi and his teammates took a plane to Turin. Two consecutive away games did not affect the team's condition.
Enrique has been encouraging and giving spiritual encouragement all the way. The team members are in high spirits. Goalkeeper Stekelenburg studies the shooting habits of the opponent's forwards. Defender Kjaer scribbled in a small notebook, trying to recall the Zebras' attacking style from the video. Bojan and Lamela are analyzing the latest changes in Juventus' three-center-back system. Everyone is working hard to end the unbeaten streak of the Serie A champions. Who would have thought that a few months ago, this group of talented players would be stuck in the mud in Serie A. Turin is the third largest city in Italy. It was once the political center of Europe at a certain historical period and is also known as "the sweetest place in Italy." There are two clubs here: Torino and Juventus. There are many different opinions about Juventus' nickname. Should it be translated as "Old Lady", "Graceful Lady" or "Exquisite Lady"? Fans have no consensus. "Gao, look! That's Juventus' new home stadium! It was just put into use this season." “I saw it on the news.” "I really envy them that they can have their own stadium." "Why is it still called the Alpi Stadium? Why not give it a new name?" "I heard that Juventus is talking to the outside world about title sponsorship. In the future, it may be called Emirates Airlines, Allianz, or a certain family." The Roma bus slowly drove towards the Alpi Stadium. The young generals looked at its appearance curiously. The number 1897, the tricolor steel mast, and the pavement inlaid with gold star tiles of Juventus' legendary players. The first stadium in Serie A to be fully owned by a club. Pre-match press conference. Enrique and Conte shook hands and hugged. The two head coaches knew each other when they were players and admired each other. The spotlight flashes. The two of them sat down separately. Enrique said with a serious face: "No matter who the opponent is, Roma will not give up any game for the qualification of the Champions League next season." "Juventus is very strong, but Roma's recent record is also very good." "I'm fully prepared!" "I believe you have seen the full roster now. Gao Qi is in good shape and will start." The other side.
Conte looked much more relaxed. "It will be a very difficult game and we will face a very good team, I have no doubts about that." "I really appreciate Luis Enrique's coaching philosophy and his ability to train players. His set pieces will cause us a lot of trouble." Player tunnel. The veterans on both sides greeted each other warmly. Buffon and Totti had a pleasant conversation. They met in the Italian U15 national team and have a deep friendship. "That day, I saw a book in a bookstore, the title of the book is" "Hahaha" "You've told this joke many times." As soon as the joke started, the two of them couldn't help laughing. Gao Qi felt several pairs of gazes in the Juventus team. He glanced around and saw the three central defenders on the opposite side looking at him: Chiellini, Barzagli and Bonucci. What is the nickname of this defense line? At the end of the queue, the midfield master Pirlo arrived late, looking sleepy. Alpi Stadium. Juventus' team song echoed in the stands on all sides. First it was pitch black. Then more than a hundred spotlights began to flash and move in accordance with the beat of the music, changing their colorful lights. It's like a concert. "Juve, storia di un grande amore!" "The entanglement of white and black!" The opening ceremony ended. In the South Stand, the fireworks are brilliant. "Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends!" "Now we are broadcasting live the 2011rd round of the 12/33 Italian Serie A season!" "Juventus vs Roma!" "The old woman encountered the red wolf!"
"Facing the menacing Red Wolf, can the old woman defend her undefeated status?" "Let's wait and see!" "Here are the starting lineups for both teams." "Juventus' formation is 3-5-2!" "Goalkeeper: Buffon." "Defenders: Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli." "Midfield: Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Lichtsteiner, Giaccherini!" "Forwards: Matri, Piero!" Studio. - [Do I still need to watch Juventus' game? I woke up and it was 1:0 again. ] - [With this midfield and backcourt configuration, I feel Roma cannot threaten Juventus' goal. ] - [It's very difficult. If the Zebras use this lineup to play against other powerful teams in the Champions League, they will be helpless. ] (End of this chapter)
