Chapter 76 Still Victor

The teams in the English Premier League are different from the other "four major leagues," which have always had some rich and wealthy people who invest or simply buy a club and then participate in the team.

For example, Blackburn in the first year of the Premier League.The most recent was Chelsea, which started in the 2003-2004 season and was led by Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich.It is one of the best.After all, for them, the Premier League championship trophy in their hands can be said to be "buy" with real money.

And now Juventus is about to face the opponent in the Europa League, Manchester City.It's the same team.

But it's not like the same blue jersey, but one is a slightly darker blue and the other is sky blue.Manchester City is not like Chelsea. Chelsea was already a strong team in the Premier League long before Abramovich took over.After all, under the leadership and transformation of Vialli and Gullit.Chelsea already play Continentalized "sexy football" that delights fans.

Therefore, wait until after Abramovich enters Chelsea.With the original foundation and Abramovich not being stingy with the money in his pocket, after enlisting a large number of powerful players, it seems so "natural" to win the Premier League championship immediately, and it also quickly became a team. A wealthy team.

But if you talk about Juventus' opponent, Manchester City.Maybe Georgia and distant Chinese fans will be more familiar with this club than fans from many European countries.Without him, because both countries have a famous football star who was once a part of Manchester City.And in their time, they were also one of the core players of the team.

Georgia's natural is of course the elf-like figure on Manchester City's offensive line, Kim Kladzer.The Chinese player is Sun Jihai, known as the "Chinese Sun".

But these were all a long time ago.And the current Manchester City team can be said to be strong and strong.After the former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra took over, he successively brought outstanding players such as Elano and Petrov to the team.But after Thaksin, the Abu Dhabi consortium from the United Arab Emirates made Manchester City fans feel that every day is Christmas.

Robinho, Gareth Barry, Lescott, Yaya Toure, Krarov and even players like Carlos Tevez, Balotelli and Dzeko.They have all become part of the "Blue Moon".

So, before this Manchester City game against Juventus at home.Although the Italian football media are hyping the topic of whether Juventus "suffers" from Victor's dependence.However, football media from other countries, including those under UEFA, overwhelmingly said that Juventus is about to usher in another defeat in England.

The Italian football media, as well as the fans, who have come to their senses, are naturally unwilling to admit it.But when I saw the reason written by other European football media, I immediately lost my temper.

First of all, Juventus has been facing English teams in European competitions, and the results have not been very good.Not to mention the current Juventus team.Even before the "Gategate" incident, when the Juventus team was coached by "Silver Fox" Lippi, in the game against the English team, the "bitter fruit" of defeat was often swallowed at the end. Juventus.

Secondly, Juventus is now facing the Manchester City team. Participating in the Europa League means "relegation to participate" for them.After all, in the league, unlike Juventus who shouted "to compete for the championship", Manchester City used their results to prove their confidence in winning the Premier League championship this season.

As for the team's players, Manchester City's luxurious lineup that people can't help but envy is not comparable to these Juventus players.It can be seen from the worth.Although it is said that the money Manchester City spent to buy these players may be a bit of a premium.But it also shows the ability of these players.If you don't have the ability, will it be so expensive?This is not the Chinese Super League with some strange restrictions on foreign aid.

However, why does such a Manchester City team, which is very likely to win the Premier League championship, "reduce" to the point of participating in the Europa League like Juventus?If Manchester City fans were to answer this question, almost all fans would say with one voice:

"Blame Mark Hughes."

Therefore, it is no longer the gray-haired Mark Hughes who is now appearing in the command area of ​​Manchester City's bench.It was Robert Mancini who was handsome and handsome in himself, and was wearing a well-fitting expensive suit and a club scarf.

Yes, it was the Italian who played for Sampdoria and later became the head coach of Inter Milan, Roberto Mancini.

Therefore, after adding up the three major conditions of the appeal, almost all European football media are optimistic that Manchester City will be under the leadership of Mancini, an Italian coach who knows Juventus and Juventus coach Del Neri well. At home, Juventus "reaped" an unforgettable score.

But in this way, for Juventus coach Del Neri, it is definitely a bad prerequisite that cannot be worse.After all, clay figurines have three points of fire.I heard that almost all the football media said so one-sidedly that the Juventus he led would be "taught to be a man" by his opponents in England.

Well, don't wait for a call from chairman Andrea Agnelli.Del Neri is already in his office.Throw the piece of paper that was originally written, with the plan to give up the Europa League match and the lineup mainly composed of substitutes, into the trash can.Then immediately re-wrote a list of the team's 11 players and the rest of the substitute players.

Therefore, when the game started, what we saw was such a starting list,
"Hi everyone, welcome to this Europa League group match brought to you by Sky TV. Manchester City from the Premier League is at home against Juventus from Serie A. My name is Martin Taylor."

"I'm Andy Gray."

"The starting lineups of the two sides in this game are like this. For the Manchester City team at home, the goalkeeper is Joe Hart, the left back is Krarov, the two central defenders are Kolo Toure and captain Kompany. The midfielder is It is De Jong and Gareth Barry partnered, and the central midfielder responsible for Manchester City's offense is the younger brother of central defender Kolo Toure, Yaya Toure. The two wingers are David Silva and Adam Johnson, On the front line is Carlos Tevez.

As for the visiting team Juventus, the goalkeeper is still Storari, and the defense line from left to right is De Cheglie, Chiellini, Bonucci and Motta.In midfield, the two central midfielders are still Melo and Marchisio, with Krasic on the right and Simeone Pepe on the left.Forward line, Del Neri discharge is the partner of two shadow forwards, Victor - Lee and captain Del Piero. "

Immediately after Martin Taylor's words ended, Andy Gray's voice sounded:

"It seems that Del Neri is very aware that the overall strength of his team is not as good as the home team Manchester City, so he still uses the team's full main lineup. Of course, except for the goalkeeper Buffon who is absent due to injury. On the front line, Victor- The partner of Lee and Del Piero. Both players are the kind of Italian 'nine and a half players,' and the characteristic of this kind of player is that he has outstanding personal ability, and he does not need the team to create opportunities for him. He can Take the ball, dribble, break through, pass, shoot.

Therefore, it can be seen that these are Del Neri's preparations for this game.However, Del Neri's preparation for this game is not the same as the development of the game.We'll just have to wait and see. "

After listening to the theme song of the Europa League, after guessing the ball and taking a group photo.The game finally kicked off after the referee on duty whistled.

Although Del Neri wanted to give up the Europa League competition very much in his heart, and he also made such a plan.However, before the start of this game, from the time of training, to the final agitation of the team in the locker room before the game.That's the point that Del Neri has always passed on to all of Juventus' players.

"No one in this game thinks we can beat a strong Manchester City team, continental Europe, the British Isles, all the football media say so. But, we're going to 'kick their asses' hard in this game .To kill these 'mercenaries' at Manchester City's home court!"

Therefore, after the start of the game, it was Manchester City who kicked off first.But under Juventus' Italian-style defense, after Manchester City controlled the football for a few minutes, when they wanted to pass to Juventus' "dangerous zone", they made a mistake in passing and receiving the ball and kicked the football. out of the touchline.

Then, the ball was immediately transferred to Juventus.And Juventus also quickly launched an attack towards the gate of Manchester City's goalkeeper, Joe Hart.

"Ah, Manchester City made a pass error and passed the ball straight over the touchline. The Juventus player threw the ball and Krasic, who received the ball, did not dribble the ball along the sidewalk himself, but passed the ball to the side. Marchisio in the middle. Juventus launched an attack and Marchisio quickly dribbled the ball in the middle.

He faced Yaya Toure's defense and passed the ball to Simone Pepe on the left.Pepe dribbled the ball laterally, and Victor moved to the left, giving Pepe the chance to open up Manchester City's central defender.Pepe inside cut.

Pass the ball to Victor Lee on the left.Lee also dribbles laterally, and Del Piero comes up to help Victor Lee who dribbles.

shoot!Victor Lee shoots!
The ball went in!After rebounding, he crossed goalkeeper Joe Hart's ten fingers and flew into the goal.Just 10 minutes into the game, Juventus striker Victor Lee relied on a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, under the cover of Del Piero.The Manchester City team, which played at home, was caught off guard.The ball went in! "

After seeing the ball fly into the gate handled by Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart, Victor excitedly ran directly to his own half, and then slipped and fell on the lawn outside his team's bench, lying on the turf Come on, celebrate the ball.And Del Piero, who had "covered" for Victor, also ran up and lay beside Victor.

Seeing all this, an Italian beauty in the VIP box on the stand immediately glared involuntarily.He stared closely at Victor and Del Piero lying on the turf.
