Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven Old Lady, Old Enemy (Part 2)
The original meaning of the Italian word Juventus is "youth". The founders were a group of middle school students, so they came up with such a name. However, the transliteration was used in the domestic translation, so it was called "Juventus". The ownership of the club has changed several times.
After being finally taken over by the Agnelli family, Juventus' youthful color gradually faded and became noble and stable. Therefore, a team named "Youth" has the nickname "Old Lady".
The Agnelli family is one of the top families in Italy. They have a lot of wealth and are a true member of the Italian upper class. This has slowly transformed Juventus, becoming dedicated, focused, but also utilitarian. For example, the most famous "
"1:0 doctrine" is not just for good looks, but for victory. So many people are affected by this football thinking, and its scope of influence is so wide. For example, China, thousands of miles away, basically followed the 1:0 doctrine before the new century.
, and the Magic Birds started from this point on and took utilitarian football to the extreme.
Therefore, Juventus' games are often not good to watch, but they always win. In other words, Juventus' games are not friendly to passers-by, but they have a strong appeal to fans, and they are of a clear-cut type of love and hate.
After Juventus came to Deportivo, Wang Ai kicked Zhao Dan out angrily. Zhao Dan unexpectedly asked Wang Ai to go to the Riazor Stadium to watch Juventus' training, and also borrowed Wang Ai's digital camera.
He is actually a Juventus fan.
On the evening of February 25, the first leg of the Champions League knockout round was played at the Riazor Stadium, and the CCTV Sports Channel broadcast the game live.
In this game, both sides played the best, Depor side, goalkeeper Molina, back four Scaloni, Andrade, Nabit, Romero, double midfielder Mauro and Sergio, the two full backs are
Luke and Victor, attacking midfielder Belleron, the lone forward is Tristan. On the Juventus side, the goalkeeper is Buffon, and the four backs are Thuram, Lello Taglie, Montero, Pesoto, and the three
The midfielder is Gianluca Gianluca, Tacchinardi and Appiah, the single attacking midfielder is Nedved, and the double forwards are Trezeguet and Del Piero.
As usual, Wang Ai sat off the court with Forlan, Pablo, Pandiani and others. In previous Champions League matches, Deportivo had maintained a record of 5 clean sheets at home, even Monaco had failed to close out opponents in previous away games.
Not even a single point was recovered from Riazor. Therefore, the game entered Depor time at the beginning.
Juventus's Lippi may have considered that Depor's home advantage was too obvious, so he adopted a retreat strategy in the early stages, hoping to consume Depor's physical energy. Even forward Trezeguet ran back to the midfield to take it seriously.
Really defensive, so Depor's offensive was very fierce on the scene. In the first 25 minutes of the first half, Depor launched 8 threats and 6 shots. But Juventus did not have one until the 26th minute.
After Kewangsheng's offensive slowed down slightly, Del Piero completed the first shot.
Juventus then completed several counterattacks, but the quality was not high. They were still busy defending against Depor's crazy offensive most of the time. The strength of Depor's existing lineup was fully demonstrated. And Juventus seemed to want to use them
The best tactic was to defend the away draw at 1:0. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. At home, Depor finally succeeded in the 37th minute of the game when Luke received Victor's cross and volleyed the goal.
It wasn't until the goal was conceded that Juventus' offense really picked up, but unfortunately Trezeguet, who was involved in the defense, collided with Romero and injured his right shoulder after landing on the ground. Even if he could continue to play, his condition declined greatly.
In the first half, Juventus only attacked Depor's penalty area 5 times, and 3 of them completed shots, but the quality was not high.
Just after returning from the second half, Trezeguet raised his hands to express that he could not hold on. Lippi had to bring on substitute striker Mikli. Just 10 minutes into the game, main defender Montero had to come off due to a muscle strain. A few minutes later, facing
Depor continued to attack fiercely, and Lippi had to give the last substitution to Conte, replacing another main central defender. Pesotto, who was exhausted due to frequent high-intensity defense, hoped to use the back line as a substitute.
Physical fitness maintains defensive ability.
1:0 is impossible, but 0:1 is barely possible.
On the contrary, Depor did not make its first substitution until the 20th minute of the second half, when Pandiani replaced Tristan. It was not until the end of the game that Pablo and Forlan were successively sent in.
Replacing Victor and Luque. Although the score did not change again, Depor played quite relaxedly and the coach's tactical arrangements were easy to do. Lippi was much more embarrassed, except for one Conte who came on because of his intention.
Besides, the other two had to be replaced.
The whole game was full of offense, the situation was great and the game was won, so Wang Ai did not get a chance to play. Originally, he wanted to meet Nedved, Trezeguet, Gianluca Zambrotta, Del Piero,
Buffon and others. But since the head coach didn't make arrangements, Wang Ai didn't actively fight for it. Anyway, if the next game is an away game, the offense and defense are likely to be reversed, and he will always have his own chance to play.
After bidding farewell to the old woman with tears in her eyes but forcing herself to remain calm, Depor regrouped after a half-day break to prepare for the match. The weekend opponent was Barcelona. Although Barcelona now seems unlikely to threaten Depor's championship status, after all, there is a 20-point difference between the two sides.
, however Barcelona can play the role of a stumbling block. They cannot win the championship, but they can help their good friend Valencia. Before the game, Lendoiro came to the training ground specially, waved his fist and cursed the damn Barcelona people for stealing 1995.
The La Liga champion in 2016, his team's first championship was postponed to five years later. Lendoiro vividly described how the Barcelona people gave the Valencians a large sum of money and how the two parties negotiated
Yes, the final result was that the Valencia team, which had no desire for anything, defeated Deportivo in the last game.
In addition to this grudge, Barcelona is currently only three points ahead of the fifth place, and the qualification for the Champions League is in jeopardy. This creates a possible opportunity for the fifth place to land in the Champions League, and Athletic Bilbao, currently fifth in the league, happens to be
It is the most pure-blooded Basque football team, and Depor's coach Irueta is a Basque.
Old and new grudges, honor and interests are intertwined, and this game is destined to be unsettling.
In terms of players, the most watched Ronaldinho has scored 6 goals and contributed 5 assists for Barcelona in 12 league games since returning from injury in December last year. After coming to Riyadh
Prior to this, Barcelona had achieved five consecutive victories in the league, showing a strong upward momentum.
Since the low period from December to January last year, Depor has relied on the outstanding performance of "super substitute" Wang Ai to survive the third-line combat period. With the King's Cup schedule basically completed, the team's physical fitness and state have also improved.
Very good relief. Before the last game against Atletico Madrid, they also achieved five consecutive victories.
