After an estimated hour, Bianchi and Capello talked for a few words, and the starting players of both sides became restless because the game was about to start. The two sides agreed to a closed training match, with 50 minutes each in the first and second half, no extra time, and substitutions at any time.
Li Ming sat on the bench and never saw Buffon and Trezeguet. They must have been injured and did not come with the team. At this time, Ortega came up and said to several young substitutes: "I just learned that Juventus will train in Spain first this summer, and then go to the United States to play a tour. Today's opportunity is very good. You don't have to be afraid of them, just play normally!"
Li Ming couldn't help thinking in his heart: "I'm afraid that except Togo, no one in each position is Juventus' opponent."
After the players of both sides came on the court, Li Ming found that Juventus' lineup was indeed so luxurious, except Abbiati replaced the injured Buffon, Piero replaced the injured Trezeguet Zegai, the starting lineup is almost the same as the one that won the Serie A championship last season:
Goalkeeper: Abbiati
Defenders: Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Thuram, Zebina,
Midfielders: Nedved, Emerson, Vieira, Camoranesi
Forwards: Piero, Ibrahimovic
Li Ming couldn't help but sigh that the lineup of the Serie A giants at this time was simply luxurious. Juventus let Piero and Mutu play as substitutes, Milan let Inzaghi and Rui Costa play as substitutes, and Inter Milan let Recoba and Ricardo Cruz play as substitutes. Relatively speaking, Atletico's side is much shabby.
The referee of the game continued to be Atletico coach Vilchez, and the linesman was Juventus coach.
With a whistle, the training match began! The two sides tested each other for a while, and Atletico's midfield was completely suppressed. Brazilian midfielder Emerson and French midfielder Vieira, the two formed the central axis of Juventus. After a few ups and downs, Atletico's Maxi and Lucin were kicked out of their way. Atletico could hardly pass the ball from the middle!
Atletico's guest right winger Ibagaza and right back Juan Velasco were also quickly beaten into a sieve by Nedved and Zambrotta's Juventus left line.
Nedved, with his long flowing hair, continued to dribble from the left, his speed getting faster and faster. When he was more than ten meters away from the penalty area, he took advantage of the fact that the central defender had not yet come up and fired a heavy cannon at the goal with his right foot.
Franco made a sideways save and tried hard to drag the ball out of the crossbar, but he didn't expect that he was too strong and hit the goal post directly. He squatted on the grass with his shoulder covered. In fact, Franco only returned to the team last night. The coach had advised him to take a day off to adjust the jet lag. As a result, he insisted on coming to training this morning and couldn't be stopped. Franco knew that if he wanted to beat Boca legend Abondancheri in the national team's starting lineup competition for the World Cup next year, he had to perform well this season.
But after all, he was tired from traveling and was not in good condition. He felt discomfort in his shoulder after the first save, which made Franco complain. Bianchi didn't think much about it. Anyway, the training match was mainly to observe newcomers and consider skills and tactics. As long as the main players were not injured, it would be fine. He immediately asked Cuellar to take the field and replace Franco.
Bernavi was upset because he felt that he was not inferior to Cuellar in height, arm span and agility. Why was he Franco's first substitute? He glanced at Li Ming who was sitting next to him and found that this guy was just watching the game seriously. It was estimated that it would not be his turn to play today!
After Cuellar came on the field, the goal became more and more tense. With the 23-year-old Ibrahimovic as the fulcrum, Atletico Madrid center back Pablo felt that he had to try his best to limit it a little. In addition to sticking to Ibrahimovic, another center back Perea had to come to assist in defense, for fear that Ibrahimovic would suddenly start and he would be unable to stop him!
Fortunately, Piero was not in good shape either. Several second points that Ibrahimovic had fought for were kicked out of the baseline by the Zebra Prince. Cuellar said in his heart that it was a close call, and he pretended to command the defense.
Pablo complained in his heart. The defense combination he and Colombian Perea were among the best in La Liga, but now facing Ibrahimovic, after a few rounds, he was exhausted.
However, after the Atletico Madrid side was blown up on the right, Petrov launched several offensives on the left. Li Ming remembered that the opposite right back Zebina was known as a relative, who was always strong in attack and weak in defense, and was a bit nervous. Li Ming thought that this guy also stayed with Juventus after the phone scandal, but in the end he was terminated in an unpleasant way. It was really sad!
Look at Petrov again. He made full use of the quickness and flexibility of Eastern European players and their strong tactical execution. He repeatedly trained Zebina on the left, then looked for Maxi on the right side of the center, and then infiltrated Torres and Kezman. However, Juventus' central defenders Cannavaro and Thuram were really strong.Maxi passed the ball behind him several times, but they were perfectly resolved.
At this moment, Petrov got the ball on the left again, accelerated past Zebina who was trying to steal the ball, and then made a fake move to get past Camoranesi who came to defend, and cut inside directly, causing Thuram to step up and defend closely. Petrov made a gesture with his right foot to cut inside and shoot. Thuram saw the clue and did not fly to steal the ball, but always covered Petrov's change of direction with his defensive area.
Petrov played along with the trick and kicked a close ball with his right foot. Thuram saw that the ball seemed to be a shot but a pass, so he let the ball go but shouted: "Fabio!"
Cannavaro had already appeared on the ball's path at this time, thinking that it was all a trick! He was about to drive the ball out of the penalty area. But he saw a golden light flashing in front of him, and Torres' strong body squeezed in!
Originally, Cannavaro had plenty of time to kick the ball out, but Torres was too fast, and in a split second he was about to collide with the captain of the Italian national team. Cannavaro didn't take Torres seriously, thinking that this yellow-haired boy was still young, and it was ridiculous for him to compete with a central defender like me who had fought with Ronaldo at his peak!
Torres didn't fight hard, but he rushed up to grab the ball, and Cannavaro suddenly felt that his face was pressed against a wall. He was shocked, is this kid really only 21 years old? How can he be so strong! Torres stuck his position and let the ball roll for a distance, and then he shot it with his right foot!
Abbiati made a desperate dive, but the ball was blocked. Kezman stretched out his leg to make up for the shot under the involvement of Vieira, but was blocked by Emerson who was defending at the central defender position. At this time, Maxi Rodriguez rushed over and chose to do something miraculous with his strength. He shot the ball directly into Juventus's goal! Abbiati was stunned and dazed for a moment!
The Atletico Madrid coaching bench was full of jubilation. They didn't expect that they could lead the powerful Juventus after only ten minutes of the game.
Ortega jumped up in front of Li Ming and others and said, "I said that our Atletico Madrid boys are the strongest! Our head coach has a good eye for recruiting players!" He was clearly praising Maxi, and the last half of the sentence also reached Bianchi's ears.
