Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 787 Encountering the Nemesis
As time went by, Juventus players returned to the team one after another. After the training in Chatillon, the team went to Reggio Emilia to participate in the TIM Triangular Cup. Zhang Yuan played 45 games against AC Milan. Minutes, scored a goal, but they lost the game.

Then, when playing against Sassuolo, Zhang Yuan was on the bench. Carlos Tevez and Llorente joined forces and lost the game. Therefore, Juventus came to the bottom of the triangle cup, while the newly promoted Sassuolo It was a surprise to win the championship.

After the Triangle Cup, Juventus started their trip to North America. This summer they are going to participate in the International Champions Cup. This is an event to earn extra money. At the same time, for the club, it is also an excellent way to expand its influence in North America. Chance.

However, Juventus's performance in this event as the new Champions League champion was not satisfactory. Wade's on-site cheers did not bring good luck to Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan failed to score a goal in this event.

In the final analysis, Zhang Yuan himself is very relaxed psychologically. Conte does not pay much attention to this event itself. He is serious about it. He doesn't care about the warm-up match, he cherishes his body.

At the end of the trip to North America, Juventus returned to Italy. Instead of going to Chatillon, they conducted the final stage of training in Vinovo. The Serie A league will resume the battle on August 8. For the Juventus club They also need to continue their dominance at home, as the team is not letting up, said Rodriguez.

Before the start of the new season, the club organized a dinner. During the dinner, Chairman Agnelli encouraged everyone to make persistent efforts, not to sleep on the credit book, every day is a new beginning, every season is a new Starting point, every championship is special and no one should think that this year will be easy just because of last year's success.

The more you talk about it, the more stern the chairman is. During this period of time, the team’s results in the warm-up match are poor. The warm-up match itself is not important, but it can reflect many problems. Among them, the energy of the Juventus players is not enough. This is an indisputable fact.

Agnelli was very angry when he heard that Zhang Yuan only scored one goal in a series of games. He felt that this guy must have a problem with his mind. He relaxed. As a club, of course he was unwilling. Such things happen, so it is quite necessary to sound the alarm for the players before the start of the new season.

But in fact Zhang Yuan did not relax. At most he just thought it was not worthwhile to hurt himself in the warm-up match. Even though he has been performing very well, the arrival of Tevez still put him under a lot of pressure, because Tevez Really good.

He didn't try his best in the warm-up match, but it doesn't mean that Zhang Yuan was slack in training. He was also very strict, so Conte wasn't worried and he didn't talk to Zhang Yuan.

The transfer market is also very lively during this period. The biggest news in the European transfer market this summer is the movement of Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, which are not short of money, and the movement of the two giants of the Western Super League.

Barcelona announced a blockbuster news as early as the closing stage of last season. Brazilian star Neymar joined with 5700 million.

Among the young talents of the younger generation, Zhang Yuan is not an outlier. Neymar is the most famous. Many European teams have been coveting him a long time ago. Real Madrid is also very interested in him. Lafayette's The virtues have never changed, and they like to gather people in the frontcourt, but unfortunately they still lost to Barcelona in the end.

One is nothing more than money, and the other reason is nothing more than style. Like Maradona's successors, Brazil's Pele's successors have been harvested one crop after another. The previous Pele successor Robinho was in Real Madrid. His days can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. Neymar naturally has to carefully consider whether Real Madrid's style is suitable for him. After all, like Robinho, he is thin and has good skills.

Real Madrid can't sit still seeing that Barcelona has won Neymar. Who is Lafayette, it must be against Barcelona. Real Madrid has set their sights on another target, Gareth Bale. Now the transfer news is flying everywhere, but It remains to be seen whether it will work or not.

Italian football is not peaceful either. The chairman of Naples, De Laurentiis, started the buying spree mode. Zhang Yuan didn’t want Higuain to go to Naples, but he went anyway. Of course, he himself would prefer to join Arsenal. Mr. Ge is still reluctant to part with the money. Naples spent 3700 million euros to introduce Higuain, which is a lot of money.

As for the signings of other teams, it is not worth mentioning. Naples has Cavani's transfer fee at the bottom, and the current net investment has not exceeded Juventus.

Juventus also carried out a transfer operation here, mainly to sell people. Matri moved to AC Milan, while Vucinic went to the UAE League. He has just turned 30 now, but he has already won the league. Champion of the Champions League, he has no regrets. When the UAE league offered high salary temptation, he also succumbed. Of course Juventus was happy to let him go.

Quagliarella may also leave, but there is no news about him recently, mainly because of the disagreement on personal treatment.

Before the start of the first round of the season, Juventus first played a Super Cup match with Lazio. In this game, Conte chose Tevez and Zhang Yuan to partner as strikers. Compared with Zhang Yuan, Tevez The cooperation between Tevez and his teammates is obviously much rustier, but in the Super Cup match on August 8th, Tevez still scored a goal, which fully demonstrated his super personal ability, and of course the biggest flash The point is still Zhang Yuan, who scored twice to help the team beat Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, which can be regarded as revenge for being kicked out of the Coppa Italia by Lazio last season.

Before the Super Bowl, many media were dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan’s performance in the summer warm-up match, criticizing whether Zhang Yuan had lost the motivation to move on, but Zhang Yuan responded to doubters with two goals in this game , Zhang Yuan is still the same Zhang Yuan, has not changed at all, and is still the most reliable killer of Juventus.

After the Super Cup, the major media were full of praise for Zhang Yuan, Carlos Tevez was also praised by the outside world, Conte has not yet made up his mind, and the outside world has already listed Juventus's starting lineup for the new season Yes, Zhang Yuan and Carlos Tevez joined forces.

On the evening of August 8th, Juventus's first game of the new season started at the Marassi Stadium in Genoa. Unlike last year, Juventus' new season's journey this season started from an away game.

After Delio Rossi took over Sampdoria last season, he brought Sampdoria out of the relegation quagmire. At the end of the season, they accumulated 42 points and ranked 14th in the standings. This ranking is for a newly promoted team Still pretty good.

However, Sampdoria, like many Serie A teams, are owners with little money. They sold a lot of money in the summer window, but they didn't spend much money on signings. They just bought them from Juventus. Gabbiadini took half of the ownership, and they spent 550 million, which is their largest expenditure so far.

This way of spending money also makes them not very optimistic about the outside world. You must know that in the football world, it is really difficult to play without money.

But for Juventus, Sampdoria is a sufferer, oh, no, it is Genoa, which is Juventus’s sufferer in recent years. Juventus has not tasted it in Sampdoria since 10 years later. The taste of victory is gone. Although Juventus won the championship last season, it was a shame to encounter Sampdoria's double play at home and away.

So in this game, Conte attaches great importance to it. As expected, he sent Zhang Yuan and Tevez to partner. The defense line is still the same Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, and Chiellini. In addition to the absence of Marchisio due to injury in the midfield, the other personnel are exactly the same as last season.

Before the start of the game, the weather was not good and it was raining on the scene. Although Juventus took the initiative after the start, Sampdoria chose a more aggressive defensive method and frequently adopted foul tactics to prevent Juventus from advancing. In addition, Juventus always belonged to the pass-and-control style of play, the field was slippery, and there were many mistakes in the first half, so they failed to break through the gate of Sampdoria.

If you want to talk about good performance, you can only talk about Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan and Buffon were the only players who performed well in the first half. Buffon was doing nothing, and it was difficult for Sampdoria to attack him.

Zhang Yuan stepped forward and threatened Sampdoria a few times, but his luck was a bit unlucky.
