Li Yu was sitting on the bench, looking at the main players warming up on the Alpstadion turf, and his heart was throbbing. After an extremely cruel experience, Li Yu longed for this stadium in his heart, eager to start, eager for applause, and wanted to
To win all this, he must seize every opportunity in the future, speak with the strength of his feet, and win with more goals.
"Sir, every opportunity you give me in the future, I will definitely seize!" Li Yu was ready to risk his life before the game.
The atmosphere before the game was very relaxed. Because there were too many players playing with the team, a large number of players were sitting on the bench. It seemed that the place was much more crowded than during the official game. Some even sat on the sidelines.
"Lee, remember what you said! After you score a goal later, you have to fulfill your promise!" Trezeguet, who was originally starting today because of a minor strain in pre-match training, is now sitting on the bench. For Lee
Jade said.
"Of course, if I get the goal bonus, I will cash it in." Li Yu replied slyly as there was no such clause in his contract.
Trezeguet, who was obviously unaware, nodded with satisfaction.
"Haha, don't listen to him. There is no goal bonus in this guy's contract terms." Paul Decelli, also a young player, said slyly.
The referee blew the whistle and the game started, and Juventus kicked off first.
Just after the opening, the ball was quickly transferred to Nedvěd on the right by Del Piero. The Czech veteran received the ball and made an outside cut to escape the pressure of the opponent's left midfielder Antonelli, and quickly dribbled the ball towards the goalkeeper.
In the penalty area, Carroza, who was on defense, made a flying tackle and shoveled the ball out of the baseline.
A big tackle, Pescara's strategy in this game is to defend intensively and press rough, waiting for Juventus to make a mistake.
The start of the game was extremely dull, always interrupted by dead balls. Pescara's opening tactics successfully dragged Juventus into a foul quagmire set by himself.
Watching their players being kicked down by the opponent again and again, the fans in the stands began to boo within less than 10 minutes of the game. Apparently they were dissatisfied with Pescara's slashing tactics.
As the game progressed, it quickly turned into a half-court attack drill for Juventus. Pescara concentrated all its forces in its own half and launched intensive defense in the midfield and at the front of the penalty area. They had no desire to attack at all.
.
Deschamps stood on the edge of the field and roared, waving his arms excitedly, beckoning the players to press on. The reason for his anger was simple. This so-called warm-up match was more like a real second division league match.
"Damn it, who contacted the warm-up opponent? Pescara is too motivated and is trying his best!" After Deschamps finished directing, he stood on the sidelines and kept cursing in his heart.
Following the coach's gesture, the Juventus back line began to press into the midfield and launch a siege, compressing the opponent's defensive space bit by bit.[
Pescara's intensive defense successfully withstood the fierce attack in the first 15 minutes. Their players' defensive actions became more and more powerful and they became more and more confident.
The game seemed to be going in the direction Pescara wanted.
In the 31st minute, Juventus Marchisio and Parro had a simple one-two in the midfield, and finally formed a breakthrough. He took the ball two steps and did not pass the ball to Del Piero who was advancing.
He started taking a long shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball deviated from the goal and flew towards the stands.
Facing an opponent at a different level, Juventus failed to show its strength as a strong team. The fans booed again in the stands, this time they were booing their home team.
Hearing the boos from the fans, the Juventus players, who had been unable to open up the situation for a long time, became impatient and took frequent long-range shots.
Deschamps was very dissatisfied with the team's performance on the field. He could even imagine how the major media would comment on himself and his team tomorrow. He turned around and began to scan the bench. Before halftime, he had already begun to think about it.
Substitute.
"Am I able to play now?" Li Yu noticed that the head coach glanced at him and had some thoughts in his mind.
But it was Valery Bodinov who finally stood up to warm up. This season, in order to strengthen the strength of the striker, Juventus loaned the young talent of the Bulgarian football team from Fiorentina.
In the 40th minute of the first half, Deschamps replaced Sarayeta, who was sleepwalking, with Valery Bodinov.
Del Piero, as the captain on the field, performed very hard today. He wanted to score a goal to boost his morale, but the opponent's rough pressing action made it difficult for him to perform. Who was injured in the pre-season warm-up match?
Don't want to see it.
When Piero was at a loss, Bodinov, who had just come on the field, broke through Lucci with his erratic movement and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Caroza, who was following him, pulled him hard.
A free kick in the frontcourt, Del Piero stepped forward to take the free kick, took the shot, and a beautiful arc went over the wall and flew directly to the upper left corner of the goal. The opponent's goalkeeper Spadavecchia reacted to this extreme
With his free kick ability, he can only watch the ball go into the net in the air.
gol! Wonderful direct free kick to score.
The prince of the Bianconeri once again proved himself with goals and saved the team at the last moment of the first half.
The fans in the stands instantly became excited and shouted in unison: "el, our knight, our prince." (The prefix "el" means noble blood in Italian, which may imply that Del Piero will become a football player.
An absolute superstar in the world’s number one sport.)
Maybe it was because the first half was dull for too long, but the fans started singing the Juventus team song again:
"Juventus, Juventus, Landia, Turin City are looking forward to Sunday"
"Juventus, Juventus, Landia, Turin, cheering for you every Sunday"
The first half ended with the fans singing the team song, but the originally expected score did not appear. The opponent's tenacity exceeded everyone's expectations.
Deschamps was the first to walk into the stadium locker room with a black face.
