On the morning of the SPN match day, Li Yu got up very early, simply ate some bread and milk, then changed into a sportswear and went downstairs, and went to find Kirijeni's car to go to the Alpi Stadium together.
On the match day, Juventus did not arrange training at a training base in the suburbs, but directly at the Alpi Stadium. This saves a lot of time on the round trip and allows the players to avoid unnecessary troubles.
The sun was shining brightly today, and it was very comfortable to get into the car and shine on it. Li Yu sat in the passenger seat and did not speak. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the sunshine while thinking about the content of last night's special training.
The two arrived at the stadium soon. There was only a simple warm-up this morning, and the next step was the tactical preparation meeting. As two people in the 18-man roster, Li Yu and Chiliyeni also had to participate.
The team members did not expect that as soon as they entered the stadium to warm up, they found that the reporters who were at the training base early in the morning yesterday had all come here again.[
"I didn't expect that everyone would pay so much attention to our game. Let's show the Milan people how good we are in front of so many media." Bodinov was obviously very excited when he saw so much media attention, and he hadn't even warmed up yet.
Come up and shout.
"You are thinking about your bonus! Everyone knows that you cherish money the most!" Piero jokingly said. No one expected that the captain would be like this today, but seeing Bodinov's resentful look,
Everyone couldn't help laughing loudly.
Before the warm-up started, I found that today's team members were all in good condition and there seemed to be no competition pressure. The assistant coach in charge of the warm-up, Radko, nodded with satisfaction and announced the start of the warm-up training.
Radko held a small book and recorded something in the small book while observing the training. He would watch carefully especially the starting players, and then write down the results of his observations. Of course, several players who had just returned from injury also
Focus on the goals of care.
Generally speaking, the starting lineup will not be announced in advance for this kind of competition. The head coach will only announce the arrangement in the pre-game tactical meeting. Although generally the predictions of various media before the game will not be much different from the actual lineup.
There are differences, but some personnel changes in individual positions are usually very intentional, but Deschamps announced it early so that the media and opponents could see clearly. The Juventus players did not know what the head coach was thinking.
What does it mean to express determination?
Anyway, the starting players are not worried at all now. All they have to do is advance to the finals under Deschamps' arrangements and seek a good future for the team and themselves.
Juventus starting lineup: goalkeeper Buffon, left back Billindelli, center back Piccolo, center back Chiellini, right back Balzaretti, left midfielder Marchionne, center midfielder Zanetti, center midfielder
Paro, right midfielder Nedved, forward Trezeguet, forward Del Piero.
When Deschamps saw all the players on the roster coming to the tactics room, he immediately began to explain today's game tactics.
After the 4-4-2 tactic was announced, there was no longer any suspense. Everyone here knew it.
There is no way to change Chillyeni's role as a central defender. Now all the real central defenders in the Juventus team are injured. Even Baumsson, who has always boasted that his body is like a dinosaur, is injured and cannot play.
Well, in a training session 2 weeks ago, he got another damn strain and had to rest.
Due to worries about the defensive line, Deschamps arranged players on the forward line who are full of physical strength, can go up and down, and are relatively balanced on both offense and defense. He first needs to ensure that his midfielder can stand up to many Milanese players.
Don't fall behind and provide protection for your backcourt.
"Milan's offensive core is Kaka in today's game. You must pay attention to his defense and mark the area to prevent his breakthrough. Don't foul easily. Listen clearly!" Deschamps began to explain the specific arrangements for the Milanese and found that the players seemed to be still there.
Not understanding, he continued: "Follow him, don't let him break through, use your body to interfere more, other players should pay attention to blocking the route of the ball. I want you to guarantee that on the route where he may release the ball, the first person who appears on the route where he may release the ball must
They are our people."
"Most of Milan's attacks are initiated by Pirlo, looking for strikers Gilardino, Kaká and Seedorf to find second opportunities. This is a routine. The midfielder must be ruthless in marking Pirlo.
, you can’t let him play the ball comfortably, Zanetti is your task, but you have to be careful not to receive a yellow card too early, you can control this yourself.” Deschamps then analyzed Milan’s offensive routine and made corresponding arrangements.
Zanetti is always the player who does this kind of dirty work. Every successful team cannot lack such a player. He is inconspicuous but destroys many potential threats.
Perhaps the most famous player of this type is still in the opponent's team, that is Gennaro Ivan Gattuso, known as the butcher. Offensive players will be afraid of three-pointers when they see him. In fact, Gattuso's feet are very clean.
He never relies on flagrant fouls to stop the opponent's offense. This player is known for his tirelessness and tenacious style. He often sticks to the opponent's offensive players like a gummy candy, waiting for opportunities to steal, and then quickly launch his team's offense.
People always see Gattuso's movements seem to be big, but the fact is that he did not foul at all. This is what Zanetti has to do now, the same position, the same responsibility, after hearing Deschamps's words
After the task he was given, he didn't say anything, he just nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Let me talk about the Milanese's second offensive routine, which is Kaká's retreat to his own half to break through with the ball. I already explained how to defend at the beginning. Now it's the third set, two
Cafu, Jankulovski, and even Seedorf and Kaka from the wing may attack from the wing. What I want to say is that the defender in the center must pay attention to his position and protect himself.
of
In the defensive position, Cafu and Jankulovski move forward, and the corresponding full-backs defend. As long as Kaká and Seedorf return to whichever side, the full-backs on that side must return to defend. Paro, you are responsible for filling in.
In such an offensive situation, if you feel that you need to strengthen your defense, you have to get there as soon as possible!" Deschamps explained all the offensive routines. It was obvious that he had done a lot of research before.
Li Yu listened very carefully, "No wonder the last away game brought back two golden away goals. It turns out that Mr. noticed every detail of the opponent!" After thinking about it, he found that as Deschamps explained
, everyone’s little bit of competition pressure disappeared. Maybe everyone was just like him. The more he listened, the more he felt that this opponent was completely exposed in front of his eyes. There was nothing to worry about, and that little pressure disappeared. [
"Alessandro, you and Pavel should think of ways to attack. Milan's defense is seriously aging. You will definitely find loopholes. David pays attention to his running position and does not push forward easily, but every time he pushes forward
They have to put pressure on the opponent's defense." Deschamps seemed to be worried.
Don't worry about the offensive problem. These three veterans have too much experience against Milan. In his opinion, this won't be a big problem. He still has Li Yu and Bodinov on the bench.
Young people, if the offense is not going well, it is okay to make adjustments.
In this game, Deschamps didn't say anything else before the game started. This completely different way of preparing for the game had good results. The players had no pre-match pressure.
When they were about to enter the venue, the team members were all chatting casually, and some were listening to music with large headphones.
It's almost time.
The players were getting ready to enter the field. The door to the home team's locker room at the Alpine Stadium was opened. Juventus players rushed out in a row and were in the players' corridor. Milan players were already standing in formation. Between the two teams,
There were many familiar players standing in the tunnel and starting to chat.
There was already a scene of jubilation outside. The largest Juventus jersey was thrown in the south stand. This is the stand for die-hard Juventus fans. They stood under the huge jersey and jumped up and down.
On the opposite side, the north stand was covered with player banners and eye-catching slogans. Many fans raised the Italian Cup trophy early in their hands. Of course, these are replicas, but all fans believe in their beloved football.
The team will definitely bring the real trophy back to the Alpi Stadium. Juventus is the team that has won the most trophies so far. They have won the trophy 9 times in total, while their opponent Milan today only has 5 trophies experience.
In the eyes of these fans, these data are the best proof.
The tickets for today's second round were sold out early. The Turin people only gave the Milanese 3,000 tickets and it was at a corner with a bad location. But the Milanese are not vegetarians. The game has not started yet, and the red fireworks started early.
The area on that side was lit by fans, and soon the whole stadium was filled with smoke. The special police tried to stop the Milan fans, but the clever Milan fans put out the fireworks long ago, leaving the special police in vain.
It was so hot before the game. I really don’t know what the scene will be like after the game starts. The match between the two teams has always been the focus of the game. Its importance is second only to the Milan derby in Italy. Needless to say, the media will definitely report this highly anticipated event.
of the semi-finals.
Li Yu's parents also turned on the computer at this time to pay attention to the key battles mentioned by their son, but they found that Xiaoyu did not appear on the starting list.
This somewhat disappointed his father Li Zixu. He picked up the coffee in front of him and took a big sip. He pointed at the computer screen with dissatisfaction and said, "Why didn't our son start the game? I even told many colleagues to ask them to take good care of themselves."
I’m envious that we have a son who is a football star! It’s good now. I don’t know if I can sit on the bench.”
Before he finished speaking, his wife Hong Li gave his arm a hard squeeze, and he was obediently prepared to listen to the instructions.
"Is your face more important or Xiaoyu's health more important? Our son is just injured. What's wrong with sitting down and taking a rest?" Hong Li said confidently.
Li Zixu had no choice but to rub his arm, and hurriedly said with a smile: "It's my fault. Watching the game, watching the game, it's a good thing that my son can't play!"
