Chapter 258 First Championship of the Season: Italian Super Cup

Juventus' victory is not news, but if one day Juventus does not win, it will be a big news in Italy.

And the news is coming soon.

In the first round of the Coppa Italia semi-final, Juventus drew 2:2 with Roma at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.The unwinnable game was finally born, which also made the fans suddenly feel a little lost.

Juventus fans, like the fans of Crystal Palace before, have become accustomed to the team's victory without knowing it. Even the powerful Juventus does not mean that they are invincible in Serie A.But after Wu Haowen took over, this legend was endowed with the power of myth.

Today, this myth has been shattered, and the protagonist of the event has become Rome.

The mayor of Rome announced a half-day holiday to celebrate the achievements of the Roma team, and even imagined that Rome could take away the victory from Juventus and finally win the Coppa Italia.

The state of Juventus has also been affected.

It's not that Wu Haowen doesn't want to win, but that many problems of Juventus cannot be explained with step-by-step explanations.The Juventus team are basically big names, and you certainly can't teach him when and where to intercept or steal.

They will ask a lot of questions, but will not accept Wu Haowen's inexplicable guidance, which will make them feel insulted.Therefore, the troubles of Juventus cannot be defined by the thinking of Kang Hui and Crystal Palace. What Wu Haowen can do is to add some focused training to the tactical training, but it is certainly impossible to tell which player what to do.

In Xiao Ai's simulation, the match against Rome was quite difficult.It took several lineup adjustments to finally achieve this draw.

Because of the World Cup, the schedule of Serie A has been compressed. In addition to the continuation of the Juventus league, cups, and intercontinental competitions, the time between games is relatively short, resulting in slow recovery of players' physical fitness, and more and more players need to take turns.

And the game against Roma suffered a lot.

Fortunately, there is Xiao Ai, otherwise, Juventus probably already has a record of failure.

So Wu Haowen is still willing to accept the 2:2 draw with Rome.As long as it is not a loss, a draw is harmless.The Coppa Italia has a home and away round-robin system starting from the semi-finals, so an away draw can be won back at home.

On February 2, Juventus continued to challenge Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Lazio and Roma share a home court, just like AC Milan and Inter Milan.However, the Milan duo have their own titles. For example, AC Milan will call their home court San Siro, while Inter Milan will call it Meazza.

The problem is, on the same stadium, the game was tied 2:2 a few days ago, and the opponent changed again today, so how will the game end?
Before the start of the game, the media put the focus of both sides on their respective coaches, comparing the young Wu Haowen with the talented Inzaghi, and magnified the contradictions between the two sides to deliberately create a tense atmosphere.

Inzaghi is also happy with it, while Wu Haowen is relatively low-key and silent.

After the game started, Lazio really showed their strength.Almost the same as Rome, very active, wanting to catch Juventus by surprise.

However, different from the Rome game, in the Lazio game, Wu Haowen basically started with the full main lineup without reservation, so although Lazio went all-out, they didn't take advantage of it, and even their tactics gradually changed from offense to defense.

Because the strength of Juventus is still due to the sharpness of the striker, and when he saw the starting lineup, Inzaghi's face also twitched.He is confident that if he uses the Roma lineup, he can definitely win the opponent.

But the current main lineup, Lazio is still a bit behind.

Sure enough, in the 36th minute of the game, Lazio took a free kick on the right side of the front court, and the position was very good.Lazio's Rodriguez took the penalty and kicked the ball towards the far post. Szczesny took precautions early and stood near the left post in advance before he took the ball into his arms and resolved the crisis.

Szczesny drove to the front court with a big foot, and Higuain grabbed the top of the ball to respond to his teammates.

Bernardeschi got the ball from the right and started to attack. It was scooped by Lazio's defenders. Arthur chased the ball quickly and controlled it in time, and then chose to pass the ball to Cancelo on the right.

Cancelo took the ball to attack from the right, crossed near the bottom line on the right, and hoisted the ball into the penalty area.Cristiano Ronaldo in the penalty area on the left side of the goal saw the opportunity, quickly stepped forward from the left side, predicted the ball's landing point in advance, scored a header near the sideline of the small penalty area on the left side, and scored the only goal of the game, helping Juventus beat Lazio 1-0.

After this campaign, Lazio also changed from No. 3 in the league to No. 4.

Inzaghi is very unwilling, but there will be no less opportunities for revenge this season.Because in a few days, it will be the final of the Italian superbook, and it will be the game between Juventus and Lazio.And this game will also be the game to determine who will win the first championship of the season.

The Super Cup in Italy is different from other leagues.Other leagues generally use the ultrabook as a preparatory game before the start of the league, while the Italian Super Cup is held in the middle of the league, and all parties do not need to warm up.It depends on your level

Wu Haowen naturally attached great importance to it.

After a 2-8 victory over Torino on February 3, the real city derby, the Juventus team came to the San Siro Stadium, where the final of the Italian Super Cup will be played.

Unlike the league, Coach Inzaghi did not choose defensive tactics, but chose offensive tactics.

The point of the final is to win, not to defend.

Every coach understands this.

So, in this final, the neutral fans are happy.Because they will watch a goal shootout.

In the 8th minute, world-class striker Ronaldo Juventus took the lead.He received a pass from teammate Cancelo near the edge of the small penalty area on the left and headed the goal.Let the opposing goalkeeper Strakosha helpless.

Lazio's Joaquin Correa equalized in the 13th minute.Ma Ruxiqi made a cross from the right, and Cancelo made a header in the penalty area.Unexpectedly, Lazio's Rodriguez pushed back into the penalty area.At this time, Correa in the penalty area in front of the goal volleyed into the net against Rodriguez's ball and scored.

The two sides tied 1:1.

In the 21st minute, Ronaldo scored a penalty kick into the bottom corner to help Juventus lead again.

In the 26th minute, Dybala expanded the score advantage for the team.Bernardeschi made a cross near the bottom line of the penalty area on the right side, and Dybala quickly flashed to the goal and pushed into the net.The score became 2:1.

In stoppage time in the first half, Ciro Immobile equalized again for Lazio.He received a pass from Roberto on the edge of the penalty area on the right and headed it into the bottom corner on the right.Help the team rewrite the score again to tie the score 2:2.

Bernardeschi was obviously not willing to be lonely, and he led the team again in the 55th minute.He scored with a volley from close range in the penalty area.

In the 65th minute, Bernardeschi once again expanded the advantage for Juventus.Keane crossed from the right and Bernardeschi hit the post with his first shot and bounced back into the field. Fortunately, the ball was very close to him, and he shot again, this time very accurately, and sent the ball into the right net.

In the 70th minute, world-class striker Higuain made the final blow.Before Sandro picked the ball from the penalty area on the left, Higuain made a header and headed the ball into the upper right corner.

In the end, Juventus defeated Lazio 6:2 to win the Italian Super Cup.

This championship is not so conspicuous to Juventus, but to Wu Haowen, it is indeed of great significance.After all, it is the first championship since coaching Serie A Juventus.

Almost everyone is looking forward to a bright future for Juventus.
