Chapter 25: Stars shine at Stamford Bridge tonight
More than 3 Chelsea fans were already "performing" before the game started. They stamped their feet hard on the floor, tapped their hands, and shouted in unison rhythmically: "Hey! Hey! Chelsea. Hey! Hey! Chelsea."

They seem to regard this ordinary group match as the final of the Champions League and vent their passion to the fullest.Although the Juventus fans who came from afar with nearly 1 people wanted to cheer for their team, they seemed so powerless in front of Chelsea fans who were three times larger than them.

From a distance, the entire stand is surrounded by a blue ocean, and the cheering sound of mountains and tsunamis is like the sea about to roar.Contains infinite power, with the momentum to destroy everything.

In the visiting dressing room at Stamford Bridge, Conte complained to the players over the noise of the Chelsea fans outside: "Damn Brits like to play this kind of trick, I bet their home dressing room is so sound proof." The wind is blowing, and our visiting team here is directly watching the live concert of the rock band."

The players grinned, and their nervousness eased a little. Although they are a long-established giant, they also felt the pressure against Chelsea.One of them is that Chelsea were last season's Champions League winners, and the other is that passionate Chelsea love the team they support and absolutely hate everyone who stands in their visiting dressing room.

This is the fans of the Premier League, they dare to love and hate.One of the countries with the most hooligans in European football, there is also Turkey, which is known as the home of hell.

"Okay, let's forget about the noise of the bloody fans, and let's set up the tactics. Chelsea play beautiful attacking football, we're going to play our Italian counter-attacking style, and we're going to take chances from set-pieces. We're going to Pay attention to the mutual transmission between their teamwork. Their midfield ball control ability and attack power are very threatening, especially Juan Mata on the sideline, his ability to break through the sideline is very strong, and he is comfortable The reception and passing of the ball. The midfielder Lampard is the core of their scheduling. He has a strong view of the overall situation. There are only a handful of commanders as good as him in the entire Premier League. Pay special attention to his long-range shots." Conte turned his head from the tactical board to look at Bonucci.

After Bonucci nodded to show his understanding, Conte continued: "Gio, you have to pay attention to Hazard, even though he is young, he is a good midfielder and midfielder, and he is also very good at organizing offense, but more importantly What's more is that his forward offensive ability is very threatening. Give him a few years of growth, and his achievements will not be weaker than Lampard and our Arturo. Don't let him break through with the ball, block his Passing routes and breakthrough routes, fouls can be made when necessary. Anyway, the physical contact in the Premier League is the strongest in Europe."

"As for striker Demba Ba, don't let him enter the penalty area, and don't let him get the ball when he enters the penalty area to prevent his follow-up shots. Outside the penalty area, Demba Ba's threat is not as great as that of Hazard and Lampard."

Unlike Conte’s tactics in the visiting team’s locker room, Di Matteo’s face in the home team’s Chelsea locker room is full of seriousness: “Juventus’ defense is excellent, and Italy’s chain defense is better than the German’s iron wall.” The "turtle formation" is still difficult. We need to attack more through passing and cooperating between the frontcourt offenses. Demba Ba and the little golden man (Oscar) move more aggressively, tear their defenses, and pull out the gap. "

"We can pass long passes to hit the space behind them. Eddie (Hazard) and Juan, you should actively advance forward, don't dribble too much, pass the ball too much, and don't give them time to return to defense. Frank (Lampard) If there is no suitable passing position, try more long-range shots, Ivan (Ivanovic) can also step forward to support more, John (Terry) steals the ball and finds Frank and Eddie more.”

The arrangements of the two coaches Conte and Di Matteo are obviously different. They fully develop their team's advantages, Juventus' defensive counterattack and Chelsea's pass to cooperate with the offense.

"Now that players from both sides have played, the home team Chelsea's starting lineup is four defenders are Ivanovic, John Terry, Cahill, Ashley Cole, midfielder is Lampard and Hazard, Mata With Ramirez on the sideline, the striker is the shadow forward Oscar and the forward Demba Ba, and Torres is on the bench. The starting four backs of the visiting team Juventus are Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Lisch Steiner, Pirlo, Vidal and Marchisio in the midfield, Vucinic in the attacking midfielder, Iaquinta and Quagliarella in the striker. Oh, the hell Conte didn't use him In the 352 formation in Serie A, he used his rare 4312 instead, can Juventus players adapt to the change of formation?" the commentator of Sky TV wondered.

In fact, his worries do not exist at all, because Juventus usually trains with these two formations, and they have been training with 4312 before this game, in order to make the players more proficient in this formation .Conte's goal is obvious, use a steady 4312 to play in the Champions League, and use a more aggressive 352 to play in Serie A.

Before the kick-off, the camera routinely scanned the benches of both sides. Huang Zixiang of China Central Sports Channel saw the yellow face and black eyes at once: "We saw Li Zihan on the Juventus bench. In the big roster, he is now chatting with Matri, with a shy smile on his face, and he is still a child. But it can also be seen that his relationship in the team is very good, Matri and him It's a position, and the relationship between his competitors in the team and the other people he talks and laughs can be imagined."

There are more and more people paying attention to Li Zihan in China. Li Zihan now entrusts the football dream of 13 billion people in the country. After all, there are no Chinese people playing football in Europe now, just like in the 80s of the last century.On the contrary, neighboring Japan and South Korea are getting better and better in the European arena.

No Chinese player has ever been spared the training of a wealthy head coach before, and they are looking forward to Li Zihan's ability to create a world abroad.And now the domestic league has begun to show a trend of rebirth after being broken and reborn. It seems that China, which is a football desert, is slowly waking up. Although many places still need constant changes and many places still have doubts, but overall As far as Chinese fans are concerned, they have slowly regained their confidence.

The British Sky TV commentator is regretful: "The Frenchman Anelka, who once played for Chelsea and is now in Juventus, did not come to London with the team. Maybe he is not ready to face his old owner. You must know that the most glorious moment of his life was at Stamford Bridge."

The game officially started at the whistle of the Dutch referee Van Kain.

Juventus, who got the kick-off first, had a very clear goal at the beginning. Iaquinta, who received the ball from Quagliarella, directly sent the ball to Vidal behind him. Vidal did not follow the two forwards with the ball. He just turned around and passed the ball to Bonucci. After a few passes, Juventus' formation quickly opened up.

Chelsea's Oscar and Demba Ba only came up to press down symbolically, and the two sides just tested each other's situation at the beginning of the game.

Chelsea, who couldn't bear it first, blew the horn of attack amid the cheers of more than 3 Blues fans at home.

Lampard robbed Marchisio's pass and then directly distributed it to Mata on the wing. The Spanish international's ability to thread needles in the frontcourt is beyond doubt.After receiving the ball, Mata quickly pulled the side to break through, and Barzagli stepped forward to intercept.Just before Barzagli tackled the ball, Mata slid the ball into the middle, and he also avoided Barzagli's flying tackle.

Hazard received the ball. The Belgian teenager faced Bonucci and stepped on three bicycles in a row. Just when Bonucci, who was not deceived by the bicycle, thought he was going to speed up and break through, Hazard flicked his right foot and passed horizontally. ball.

Oops!Bonucci, who was in a bad way, immediately left Hazard and ran towards the ball landing point without thinking. He knew there was an open space there. He kicked up his right foot to meet the ball in mid-air and did not unload it, but took advantage of the trend to sweep it away.

"Lampard stepped in and didn't stop the ball. Volleyed from outside the penalty area. Volley!! Oh, unfortunately, the ball flew over the crossbar. This is the most threatening attack since the opening of the two sides."

Lampard, who shot the ball away, shook his head. He also knew that his hasty volley would not score. He originally wanted to take off the ball to make adjustments or make a gesture to break into the penalty area.In the end, I didn't expect Bonucci to return to the defense so fast. If he stopped the ball, he would be caught up by Bonucci to make a clearance, so he had no choice but to volley to try his luck.

Buffon, who was frightened into a cold sweat, yelled at his teammates: "What's going on? How did you let others get close to the penalty area easily? This is Stamford Bridge, so concentrate and don't be careless!"

Hearing the captain's speech, the Juventus players had to cheer up and divert their attention from the roaring Chelsea stands.

No. In the 12th minute, Chelsea made a comeback. Ramires broke through with the ball from the right sideline, and Marchisio went straight to grab the ball without hesitation.Ramirez, who was prepared, flicked the ball to the left to avoid Marchisio's feet, and then moved his body to the left to catch the ball. He planned to continue to break through and saw Vidal behind Marchisio.Ramirez, who was in a bad way, directly passed the ball horizontally.

Lampard, who received the pass, did not take the ball. Instead, he kicked a high ball through the frontcourt. The precise pass found Oscar, who was playing in the frontcourt.The Brazilian statuette unloaded the ball and rushed towards Bonucci in front of him. Just when Bonucci thought the opponent was about to break through, Oscar unexpectedly pushed the ball to the foot of Mata on the wing.

Mata dribbled the ball quickly down the bottom, and then passed the ball into the central penalty area before Barzagli could get close to him.Demba Ba, who was waiting in the penalty area, took off and hit the goal with a header against the flying ball.
