Chapter 198 The Strongest Shield

On September 29, there were crowds of people inside and outside the Alp Stadium. This stadium, which has always been worrying at attendance, has a rare scene of tickets tonight. The stands on all sides can even be described as overcrowded!

Seeing this scene, Mo Lao Fox, who appeared in the VIP box, was naturally quite happy. Although building Juventus into a Serie A overlord is the ultimate goal of the Juventus general manager, for Mo Lao Fox, who has always attached great importance to balance income, the club's constantly declining ticket revenue is also something he is very concerned about.

Why is the team's performance getting better and better, but ticket revenue and attendance rate are constantly declining. Only when there is a strong dialogue will the attendance rate become more objective? Mo Lao Fox wanted to break his head and couldn't find a reasonable answer to this question, so he had to blame it on Juventus's overly simple and steady style of playing the game is not attractive to fans.

Of course, if Juventus changes its style to play offensive football in order to attract attention and increase attendance, the old Fox of Mo will definitely not be willing to do so. After all, in Moji's view, the most important thing is always the championship trophy, and he must not put the cart before the horse!

It has to be said that Moji's analysis does make some sense. Juventus' unflattering style of play and overly utilitarian tactical play are indeed one of the reasons for the sluggish attendance of the Alpite stadium. But in fact, one of the more important reasons for this phenomenon is that Mo's old fox attaches too much importance to the club's balance of income and expenditure!

In order to ensure the club's financial balance, since the day he became Juventus' general manager, Moji has been selling the stars in the team who are about to pass their peak period (such as Robert Baggio, Viali, Zidane, etc.), turning them into cash, and then using these funds to sign ups and raise salaries for other players. This is the main means used by Juventus in the Moji era to ensure financial health!

However, although Moji's approach to reducing expenses can maintain fiscal balance while maximizing the competitiveness of Juventus, his business strategy also makes Juventus lack the necessary star flavor and attention for the giants. For example, in the summer of 2OO, the midfielder Zidane sold the transfer fee to Real Madrid with a world-record transfer fee. Mo Fox used this huge sum to exchange for Nedved, Touram, Buffon and other strong players, successfully completed the team's reconstruction work, and put the Zebras, which had been sluggish for several seasons, back to the top of Serie A. However, Zidane's departure also had a significant negative impact on Juventus' reputation - a club that is willing to sell even the core of the team that is at the peak of his career, has the qualifications to compare with Real Madrid, which is full of superstars?

In fact, Moji is not unaware of this. However, the old fox is better at throttling operations than open source, so he chose this path. Moreover, Moji cannot know that the top giants in the Boseman era are moving towards the fast lane of becoming stronger and stronger, and even the bench will be filled with international players from various countries. Therefore, if Moji continues to operate Juventus according to this business strategy, although no problems will occur in the short term, when the era of gold and dollar football comes, Juventus's life will become quite sad.

The reason why Juventus in his previous life was able to rise again after the phone gate incident was not only because of the overall decline of the Serie A after the phone gate incident, but also because of the overall decline of the Serie A after the phone gate incident, it was much less attractive to big-name stars. All clubs had to tighten their belts and live a life, giving Juventus a breather. Finally, when Conte, the great god, arrived, leading the Zebras to successfully revival. It was also because of the crazy investments of John Elkan and Andre Agnelli in the transfer market, the Zebras could have sufficient funds to strengthen the team every summer!

Now let's get back to the point, let's first introduce the lineup of the two teams in this game. In Juventus, the Zebras can be said to have all the main players. It seems that Capello intends to use the home advantage to win a key victory in Tottenham, paving the way for the team to successfully break out from this death group!

The goalkeeper is Gianluigi Buffon, known as the "world's No. 1 goalkeeper". The four defenders are Zambrota, Cannavaro, Turam and Zebina, Emerson and De Jong form two midfielders, Nedved and Camoranesi are separated from the left and right wings, and the forward line is a combination of Trezege and Zebra Prince Pierro!

Although Ibrahimovic did not join Juventus in this life, the Zebras have only one and a half forwards available on the forward line (Pierro, who will be in the goal drought from time to time, can only count as half), but this does not mean that Tottenham can relax on the defensive end. You should know that for a typical Italian team like Juventus, defensive counterattack has been deeply engraved in their bones, and its head coach Capello is even more of a master. AC Milan, who led the camp full of wounded soldiers, slaughtered Barcelona, ​​who was known as the "Dream Team" in the Champions League final for four goals, was his peak work. Therefore, if Tottenham is not careful about this, he will fail in the end and fall into a passive situation in this battle for group qualification!

In addition, although there is no truly top star in Juventus after Zidane transferred to Real Madrid, the Zebras won in the balance of strength in three lines. Except for the instability of right guard Zebina, there is no obvious weakness. Therefore, it is really a very difficult task for Tottenham to get points from Juventus!

The most important thing is that this Juventus' defensive ability is too strong. Although Vieira has not joined at this time, the arrival of De Jong and Heatinga has given Capello more sufficient staff on the defensive end. This has led to Juventus not losing a goal in the four league games that have ended so far, and only conceded three goals against Ajax led by Zeman!

Let's look at Tottenham. George, whose goal is to take a point away from the away game, has a stable and counterattack lineup. Goalkeeper Cech, right-back Stephen Carl, left-back Evra, two central defenders are Vidic and Ridley King, Mascherano, Xavi Alonso and Kompani form the midfield iron triangle, and the front-court trident is a combination of Ribery, Ronaldo and Drogba!

It can be said that whether Tottenham can escape from the Alp Stadium today depends on whether their offensive trident can penetrate the strongest shield carefully created by Capello!
