shadow striker

"Fans and friends, here is the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2025-2026 season, the match between Turin and Chelsea in Group E. The Turin team will face the Premier League giants Chelsea at the Communale Stadium at home! It is the first time to break through the siege and enter the UEFA Champions League! For this fallen noble in Serie A, this game can be regarded as crucial!

Just a few years ago, the Torino team was still hovering in the Italian second division!But the team's current lineup can undoubtedly be described as luxurious!They have the former Camp Nou midfielder Delicalo, the Portuguese steel defender Innedi, the Europa League assist leader, and the most shining Asian player in European football in recent years, and they also have the former Premier League team. League shooter king!Coincidentally, the current captain of the Turin team used to be a striker that Chelsea relied on very much.Two years ago, the Premier League Golden Boot, which helped Chelsea win the league title, chose to play for Serie A Torino.All fans who love him question whether his decision is correct!

And now, two years have passed, he has proved himself with a Europa League trophy and the title of Europa League Golden Boot!After two years, Francisco took his new teammates and returned to the European Champions Cup again.

So!Facing his past teammates and the powerful Premier League giants, how should the former Chelsea striker deal with it! "

There is no doubt that this is a highly anticipated game.The dual identity of the former Chelsea striker and now the captain of the Turin team gave this game a special meaning and focus.

The TV broadcast had cut into the signal before the game even started.The camera is aimed at the players on both sides who are in the player channel.The relationship between Chelsea and Turin is not as full of gunpowder as everyone expected.Francisco, wearing the captain's armband, even shook hands, shook hands and hugged his former teammates with a smile on his face.

As for the members of the Turin team, they also looked at their captain hugging his former teammates with a hint of a smile.

Perhaps, only players who have experienced profound transfers can understand how Francisco feels at this time.

The little caddies are ready, wearing the shrunken versions of the Torino jerseys and Chelsea jerseys, one by one to find the players of the two teams, and then open their innocent eyes wide, looking at those today with a hint of curiosity. The hottest football stars in football.

The caddies at this time may not be able to understand anyway, why the players who are still smiling, shaking hands and hugging, will fight fiercely on the field in a few minutes, and carry out a life-and-death attitude from beginning to end. will.

"In fact, before the opening game of the UEFA Champions League group stage, many media outlets have already made predictions about the qualifying situation of this group stage. In most group predictions, the predictions given by the media are somewhat different. It is different. But in the prediction of Group E, basically all the media assert that Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain will easily advance, and Turin and La Liga Sevilla will be eliminated. However, if the prediction of football is really accurate, It wouldn't be deeply loved by so many fans around the world."

Speaking of this sentence that many fans deeply understand, the commentator locked his eyes on the Prince of Turin, Francisco.

The current captain of the Torino team looks much calmer than the outside world guessed.He held the Torino team flag and shook hands with his former captain.That is Chelsea's ace goalkeeper. He is usually reticent, but he can give his teammates an indescribable sense of security on the field.It seems that as long as he is on the field, Chelsea's reinforced concrete formation will be difficult to break.

The Chelsea captain still didn't smile when Francisco shook his hand.It seems that at this moment, he has regarded Francisco as an opponent on the court.

It is conceivable how difficult it will be for the Turin team to break through Chelsea's iron barrel formation in this game.Under such circumstances, Delo formed a 4231 formation that he had used very skillfully last season.

But the same 4231 formation, today's Turin team's tactical arrangement is very different from last season.And the biggest difference among them lies in the use of Yue Yihuang.

Obviously, according to the formation diagram, today's Yue Yihuang did not take up the position of the front midfielder.He was placed on the left and right of the Torino single arrow Francisco.

For the current Turin team, such a change will free Yue Yihuang from the attacking task of the attacking midfielder.Yue Yihuang, who no longer serves as the team's midfielder, has lightened the task of organizing offense, and will be able to play more thrilling and wonderful cooperation with Francisco in the opponent's half court, and will be able to further transform his assist ability into scoring Ability to become the second striker of the Torino team in the true sense.

However... this is not the most unexpected stroke of the formation that the Torino team deployed in this game.

"Oh my god! The midfielder Nenny who just transferred from Real Madrid to Turin this summer is the midfielder ranked by the Turin team! Is Delo crazy!"

"No, I don't think Delo is crazy. This is not the first time he has put Nenny in the midfielder position in the new season."

When one of the two game commentators saw the starting lineup and formation of the Turin team given by the broadcaster, he was greatly horrified because of the position of the former Real Madrid midfielder Nenny.You know, it's relatively common to drop a player from a higher position on the field, but it's very rare and daring to move a player forward from a lower position on the pitch.

However, another commentator who has followed several league games in Turin in the new season told his commentator partner, and also told all the fans who are watching this TV channel now, that in the new season, Dero will talk about Neney's forward move. This is not the first tactical deployment.Even Neney's tactical arrangement is not a bold innovation.

"In fact, when Nenny first arrived at Real Madrid, he played in the attacking midfielder position, which is also the position he is best at. It's just that with the completion of the fourth generation of Galacticos, his position was irreversibly replaced. That's it, He began to be transformed into a defensive midfielder by the head coach of Real Madrid. Because of his very short time as a midfielder in Real Madrid, most fans have long forgotten that this Italian player was originally a midfielder because of his position as a midfielder. He became famous as a teenager. In the two games that have been played this season, fans can already see the rapid recovery of the qualities that Nenny should have as a midfielder. Compared with Wuster, his ability to organize offense is obviously better It is more impactful. But I still have to say that it is really a very radical and risky decision for Dro to use Nenny in such an important game."

"It turned out to be like this! But this may be the consistent style of the head coach Delo who led Turin all the way from the second division to today. Facing Chelsea, it is obvious that aggressiveness will achieve a result better than conservative."

As the players of the two teams high-fived each other and then went to their respective half of the field, all the fans who were watching the game felt their hearts were tensed by something.And the first rebroadcast of the camera rotating up and shooting from mid-air to the entire venue made the tension unstoppable intensified.

Francisco, who was standing on the center line, seemingly inadvertently passed the ball to Yue Yihuang who was right behind him, and Yue Yihuang directly returned the ball to Francisco.With this action, the first offense of the game kicked off.

At the home stadium of the Turin team, the Communale Stadium, the fans who had been looking forward to it for half a century began to scream with all their power from the very beginning of the game.Yes, just like the Torino attack that was launched violently from the beginning...

[If possible, I hope you can score a goal in the opening 3 minutes.I know it's going to be hard, but believe me, it's a lot easier than getting a goal from Chelsea in 87 minutes after that. 】

This is what Delo told them before the game.And the players of the Turin team did play their home start strictly according to Delo's instructions. The fierce offensive almost made Chelsea fans unbelievable.

They loved the Italian from Turin and every goal he scored for Chelsea.However, the sharp striker that Chelsea fans can't forget chose to leave after helping the team win the league championship and the Champions League runner-up trophy.It is precisely because of this that they hate the players they once loved deeply.

Perhaps there will be Chelsea fans who will continue to pay attention to Francisco after he moved to Turin, but they gave up paying attention to him because the Turin team's ranking in Italy is too low and they cannot be on the Champions League stage again.

It is precisely because of this that they failed to know what kind of powerful teammate Francisco gained in places they could not see.

As soon as the game started, the Turin team showed their "spear" posture to collide with Chelsea's "shield".On the offensive line, Yue Yihuang, Francisco, and Parel showed a very tense offensive form. Even Tiar and Dericallo, who were in the midfielder position, rushed to the opponent's half-court position.

That style of play...it doesn't look like a Serie A team is betting against a Premier League team at all.

The reinforced concrete defense line retreated quickly before it could be opened.That is different from the Italian chain defense. It has nothing to do with dexterity and subtlety, but it can also prevent the best offensive team in the world from opening their offense.

Torino seem to have understood this early on.Therefore, at the beginning of the game, the two full-backs rushed to the opponent's half with their teammates to support the attack.

In the half-court position of the Turin team, only the goalkeeper and two central defenders are left, the former Portuguese Super Eagle Innedi and Gonza, who is known as the God of War on the field.
