Chapter 225 The Champion's Heart Fighting in the Alps
That night, the Alpi Stadium was full of seats. The enthusiasm of the Zebra fans was mobilized for the team to reach the top [-] of the Champions League in the second season of returning to Serie A. Countless Juventini chanted slogans and killed Alpine Stadium ---

"Europe!! Juventus is back!!!"

Due to the hot football market, less than half of the more than 3000 Chelsea fans who accompanied the team to Turin got the tickets, and the other [-] people could only gather in the large square outside the Alpi Stadium to watch TV. Still, the Chelsea fans were in high spirits, singing and dancing, celebrating the excitement of the matchday.

About an hour before the start of the game, the Juventus bus began to slowly drive into the Alpi Stadium, and the Juventus fans immediately moved, waving the team's flag and shouting slogans.

Ranieri sat on the front seat of the bus and looked out the window. An uncontrollable excitement burned in the heart of the Italian. Ranieri will never forget that when he was just coaching Juventus, he received The ridicule and making things difficult for the media and the disgrace of suspicion, and tonight will be his chance to rectify his name. An imperceptible smile appeared on Ranieri's face, as if he had seen himself stepping on the body of the defending champion, advancing Scenes.

*******
When Juventus officially announced that Ranieri became the new Juventus coach, Gazzetta dello Sport immediately asked: "Why can a person who has just coached Parma sit on the coaching bench of De Alpi? "

"Turin Post" even joked, "In the Premier League, he couldn't win the championship. In La Liga, he relegated Atletico Madrid. In Alpi, what can he do?"

From Ancelotti to Lippi to Capello, the Juventus coaches are all well-known figures in Italian football, and even the entire European football.

Even when he was relegated the year before last, the Juventus coach was still Deschamps, who led Bordeaux to win the Champions League runner-up. What's more, Deschamps can be regarded as a "person" acceptable to Juventus fans. This tradition of famous coaches not only runs through the entire Juventus The history of Juventini runs through all Juventini's thoughts.

It cannot be said that Ranieri does not have the habit of coaching giants. When Abramovich took over Chelsea in 2003, Ranieri was not fired, but he was unable to lead a luxury team he was familiar with to win the championship.After Ranieri dismissed get out of class in the second year, the newly appointed Mourinho quickly led the Blues to win the Premier League championship. Although, we have to admit that Mourinho's first championship at Chelsea is still due to Ranieri. However, on the football field, everything is based on results.

After resigning from Chelsea, Ranieri came to the Valencia he was familiar with, and his final coaching achievement was that the defending La Liga champion was almost relegated that season.

Therefore, coaching Juventus is also regarded by Ranieri himself as the biggest opportunity to turn himself over and become a famous coach. Therefore, Ranieri is bound to win tonight's game.

*******
At that time, the needle pointed to [-]:[-]——

Dudu Dudu! !

With the whistle of the referee, the game started.

Every team has its own traditional style of play, and this style of play can be changed with the arrival of a new head coach, but for some traditional giants, the spirit in their bones still won't make much difference changed.

Of course, for some famous coaches at the tactical master level, it is still possible to make a team make a big change, but Ranieri is obviously not an excellent tactical master.

"Corriere dello Sport" once described Ranieri's tactics like this, 'He will tell the players who play forwards to play forwards, and those who play defenders to defend, that's all...'! !

After the start of the game, the scene was relatively dull. Juventus used their best defensive counterattack style. In this game, Juventus' defense line was exactly the same as what Scolari predicted before the game. Yes, this also reflects from one aspect that the Apennines media has criticized Ranieri for lack of change.

On the defensive line, Grigera is at right back, Molinaro is at left back, and the combination of Chiellini and Mellberg is at center back.

Going forward, the defensive midfielder is Thiago, the Portuguese who was once known as Juventus' biggest "parallel importer" last season. In the last few games, he has played at the level of Lyon that year.

On the two wings of Juventus, Marchisio and Nedved's partner, Del Piero appeared in the position of [-] and a half, although the Czech Iron Man and the Zebra Prince are old, but no one will Ignoring the tacit understanding and experience between the two, especially Del Piero, every year, the Italian media will predict that the Zebra captain will become a victim of Juventus's large number of strikers. However, after the end of the season, people often find that the last It is always their captain who is worth relying on.

On the front line of Juventus, it is the combination of Iaquinta and Trezeguet. The old friend Amauli, whom he met in the Sicilian Peninsula when he was in Turin, did not start today! !
*******
After the opening, Juventus played unhurriedly, according to their favorite rhythm. Even if Chelsea wanted to attack, but facing Juventus' concrete defense, there was still nothing to do for a while.

Contrary to Scolari's expectations, Juventus right back Grigera should have received Ranieri's tactical arrangements before the game. After the opening, Xiang Nan didn't get many chances.

It was [-] minutes into the game, and the most memorable thing for fans on the court was that Chelsea attacked [-] minute ago. After receiving a pass from Joe Cole, Xiangnan galloped all the way along the left side of the Alpi Stadium. There was a sudden stop near the bottom line, and he tried to change direction and enter the penalty area. He was pulled by Gerry Lala, who was driving over. Gera was torn in two.

Grigera was stunned for a moment, and the Czech handed the pieces of the jersey in his hand to Xiangnan, "That..., I didn't expect the quality of your jersey to be so poor..."

Xiang Nan smiled wryly and had no choice but to go to the side of the court to change his jersey. However, Grigera did not escape the warning of a yellow card from the referee.

After changing his jersey on the sidelines, he picked up a bottle of water, poured it directly on his forehead, and went south to the stadium.

*******
Joe Cole took the free kick near the baseline, saying it was a free kick. This position is almost on the edge of the corner kick, almost the same as a corner kick.

Xiang Nan kept changing positions in the penalty area, running back and forth.

"Chiellini, watch Andre!!" Buffon yelled. Buffon was also deeply afraid of the ability of his national team teammates to grab points. After all, when the national team was training, the Italian national team It is also deeply touching.

"Leave it to me!!" Chiellini roared, patted his chest and squeezed to Xiangnan's side.

"Andre, with me here, you don't even think about having a chance!!"

"Really? I'd like to see it!!" Xiang Nan stretched out his right arm and slammed against Chiellini's waist. When Chiellini grinned in pain, he said with a bad smile, 'That's what you taught me against defenders. '

Chiellini fell in the penalty area in response, rolling back and forth, and the referee rushed over immediately.

Xiang Nan knew that he didn't use much force at all just now, let alone Chiellini, a defender who pretended to be more like a striker.

Xiang Nan spread out his hands, indicating that he had done nothing.

The referee lowered his body, patted Chiellini on the shoulder, asked about his situation, then got up, rushed to Nan and warned, 'Be honest with me, I don't mind taking out a yellow card. '

As soon as the referee walked away, Chiellini got up after a simple on-field treatment by the team doctor, and immediately got up, winking towards the south vigorously.

*******
A free kick is taken and a curve ball is dropped into the penalty area.

When Joe Cole made a free throw, Xiangnan suddenly took two steps back outside the penalty area. Sure enough, after the ball spun into the penalty area, Drogba jumped high, and under the pressure of Mellberg, he barely used his scalp Caught the ball, the ball was punched out of the penalty area by Buffon.

Like a civet cat, Xiang Nan leaned forward, straightened his chest, and after a beautiful stop, he picked it up with his toes. With the vigorous posture and movements of a Beijing opera actor, he swayed Chiellini's tackle , without waiting for the ball to land, the left foot propped up, and the right foot slapped, swung in the middle of the ball, and the outer instep made an artistic arc, just over Thiago's head in the penalty area, and suddenly fell, Spin towards the upper left corner of the goal.

"Wow wow wow!!! Be careful, Chelsea's shot from Andre!!! Gianluigi is relying on you!!!" The live commentator at the Alpi Stadium exclaimed.

The eyes of the Juventus fans at the Alpi Stadium followed the arc of the ball, and suddenly jumped up, motionless, covering their mouths, and making a strong inhalation sound...

"Can you keep the ball?" This is the prayer of Zebra fans! !

Maybe it was Turin's chocolate jackfruit that Lady Luck just ate;
Maybe God just passed over Alpi and heard the prayers of Juventus fans;

...

Buffon turned pale with shock, but the top goalkeeper's reaction saved Juventus at this moment. He kicked the ground on the spot and almost lifted the ball out of the crossbar with his fingertips.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!!!"

"Huh huh huh huh huh!!!"

Beautiful offense and defense, thunderous applause sounded over the Alpine Stadium...
