Chapter 151: Griffon Legion
This is the case every time during the transfer period. The media keep talking about who will go where and who they want to introduce.It is also said that there are noses and eyes, but what will the real situation be like?You'll find out when the transfer period is over.

And Li Zihan is now involved in this vortex, every day people say where he will go, but in fact he doesn't want to go anywhere at present.This group of media acted as if they knew better than themselves. I really hope that the transfer period will pass soon.

But soon Li Zihan couldn't take care of the media's bluffing, because he was about to start preparing for the league.

On the 27th, they will host Genoa in the weekend league. This is the No.20 second round of the league this season.

Genoa can also be considered an old man in Serie A. They had a brilliant few years in the early stages of the league, but then their limelight was overshadowed by their city rival Sampdoria.Genoa's nickname is "Griffon Legion", which shows that this is not an easy opponent to deal with.

Conte dispatched a full lineup, in order to grab more points before the start of the Champions League, throwing Naples and AC Milan out of the street.Then play the Champions League with peace of mind, ending Juventus' sad situation in the Champions League with no solution in Serie A.

Chiellini, who was injured in the last game, was unable to play. Conte has always been accustomed to using three central defenders and two offensive full-backs on the defensive line.No choice but to replace Chiellini with Caceres.

The midfielders started one after another, including the veteran Pirlo, the powerful midfielder Vidal and the flexible Marchisio.The strikers started Vucinic and Quagliarella. Considering that Giovinco started the game against Lazio in the last game, Conte did not let him start in order to maintain his physical strength.Of course, Li Zihan did not start. Although Li Zihan didn't play much time in the last game, he has the physical strength to start this game.But Conte still has a cautious attitude. He knows that young players, like old players, are too strong in the game to exceed the load, so injuries are commonplace.

And Genoa obviously has ideas about this game, and their situation has not been very good this season.Recently, they have also been deeply involved in the relegation battle, and are currently ranked third from the bottom in the standings.And if they want to completely stay away from the shadow of relegation, they must start grabbing points early, otherwise they will be more difficult to get rid of.You must know that the relegation battle at the end of each season is no less fierce than the championship battle, and even more intense.

Winning the championship is a matter of glory, but relegation is a matter of life and death.Once relegated, there will be no considerable share of Serie A every season, and there will be no large amount of "exposure" in European football. Naturally, there will not be much sponsorship money to take.These are the main sources of income for small teams for a season, and they lose a lot of money without them.

The only thing that makes them gratified is that the situation of the arch-rival Sampdoria is not good, just not far in front of them-the bottom No.5.The points are only two points more than Genoa. If this game is won by itself, Sampdoria will lose.Then Genoa themselves stepped on Sampdoria's body to get out of the relegation zone, but kicked their mortal enemy down.

Genoa has done many things that harm others and benefit themselves, especially when the opponent is still the sworn enemy Sampdoria.Although they feel that Sampdoria's opponent Pescara is not very reliable, this does not hinder their ambitions, even though their opponent in this game is the defending champion Juventus.
So this game was extremely fierce, and Juventus continued to attack Genoa's goal.Genoa also constantly used defensive counterattacks to warn the opponent that they are not a role to be messed with.

Genoa striker Jankovic made a breakthrough from the wing, trying to cooperate with center Borriello in a sideline high pass.However, Juventus' three central defenders defensive tactics make it impossible for Borriello to take advantage of the header. I thought Chiellini, the defensive master, would have a chance to win, but I didn't expect Caceres, the Uruguayan, to be there. It's also so good at defending high-altitude balls.

The offensive frenzy launched by Juventus was quickly overwhelmed by the opponent's fierce press, but soon the Juventus players realized that something was wrong.The opponent's fierce pressing seldom got fouls, but his own tackles were called a lot of fouls.

At the beginning, Juventus didn't take it seriously, but later it became more and more strange.

Vucinic broke through with the ball, and central midfielder Kuzka immediately made a tackle.Fortunately, Vucinic was shoveled too much in midfield, so he kept an eye out, and immediately flicked the ball when he saw the opponent's movements.Then he retracted his feet and took off, successfully dodging the opponent's ruthless steal.

Just got the ball again, before Vucinic came and adjusted, he felt a wave of heat coming towards him.Before he could see clearly, he was brought to the ground by a black figure, who kicked his calf viciously.

Immediately afterwards, he felt the pain in his calf, and when he fell to the ground clutching his calf, he saw that it was Genoa midfielder Bertolacci who brought him down.

Seeing this, the Juventus players gathered together, Pirlo went to check on Vucinic's situation, while other teammates surrounded the "murderer" Bertolac with uneasy expressions.Among them, Vidal stared at the opponent and yelled very cruelly, while the Genoa players hurried over to protect Bertolaci.The opponent's captain hurriedly negotiated, but the Juventus players did not accept this.

They have been knocked down by the opponent's ruthless actions for countless times. Although everyone is a professional player, fierce defense and fouls are also one of the tactics.But——you are so damn obviously aiming at people, okay? !

Everyone came out to hang out. Well, they all came out to play football, and they ate this bowl of rice.You play so fiercely, what if I can't play due to injury?It's not typical to smash Lao Tzu's job, and what's even more annoying is that he didn't get a yellow card for so many fouls and vicious actions. This is unscientific! !

Li Zihan can also see that the opponent's style is relatively rough. Although he is sitting on the bench very close to the court, he can't see clearly some of the opponent's small movements.So he saw Vidal yelling and pointing at the opponent's foul player and the captain, and felt that Vidal had taken a shot again today.

The referee Guida hurriedly blew his whistle, and then separated the opponent to prevent the opponent from fighting.In the end, the captains of both sides were called aside to give a lecture, warning them to restrain their players, otherwise it would be no good for anyone if something happened.

As the second captain, Bonucci is generally responsible for negotiating when Buffon cannot leave the goal penalty area at will.So after Guita finished his training, he complained to him: "They are not playing football, they are clearly kicking people. And they have made small moves to my people many times. Look at Vucinic's It’s not an exaggeration to give the opponent a red card.”

The captain of the opposing team defended the referee: "Bertolacci didn't do it on purpose, he tackled the ball. It is estimated that he was too powerful to bring the opponent down. This is a common thing on the court, and there is no reason to be caught."

Bonucci got angry, pointed at his nose and growled: "Did that eye of yours see him tackle the ball?"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the referee immediately grabbed Bonucci and put down his hand pointing at the opponent's nose.He said solemnly: "I have my own judgment, and I don't need you to tell me what to do. I'm warning you again, if you can't control your temper, I don't mind punishing a few of you to calm down."

Bonucci snorted coldly and remained silent.And the opponent is obviously at a loss, and they are even more unwilling to take the initiative to provoke Juventus players at this time.

In the end, the referee Guida gave a penalty, sentenced Bertolaci to a foul, and gave Juventus a free kick in the frontcourt.As for the yellow card, there was not even a verbal warning, but a serious explanation to the captain of Genoa.

Juventus is obviously very dissatisfied with this penalty. Why did the opponent not even draw a card for such a large-scale foul?The fans booed to express their dissatisfaction, but they did not boo Genoa, but the referee Guida booed.

Vidal wanted to go up and argue with the opponent and the referee, but Bonucci grabbed him quickly.Bonucci knew Vidal's fiery temper, so he might attack if the other party spoke badly.And he could see that what the referee just said about sending off one or two penalties was not a joke.

And Conte has no one to pull him. Generally, the assistant coach Carrera asks Conte to "spray" the fourth official. He didn't pull Conte back until the fourth official's endurance limit was about to explode.I can express my dissatisfaction without getting a warning or a red or yellow card. ———As expected of a good friend!

And this time was no exception. Seeing that Conte yelled at the fourth official a little too much, and was about to call the referee through the walkie-talkie.Carrera rushed up and grabbed Conte, and then apologized to the fourth official.He pulled Conte back forcefully, and covered Conte's mouth with his hand while pulling.Because Carrera was afraid that Conte would talk, and couldn't hold back, and the fourth official was obviously on the verge of breaking out
When he returned to the coach's bench and was held down by Carrera on the seat, he still looked aggrieved.But on Carrera's chest, in a hidden place that was not seen by the cameras and the fans behind him, he secretly gave Carrera a thumbs up.

The cameras didn't catch it, the fans didn't see it.Li Zihan, who was nearby, could indeed see clearly. Li Zihan, who thought Conte was too angry, immediately had black lines all over his head. ——As expected of a wretched uncle and a Mensao teaching assistant
