Chapter 51: The Evolution of Juventus
Allianz Stadium in Turin, as the world's top stadium as the Allianz Stadium in Munich, is surrounded by a black and white ocean when the new day comes.
As the undisputed boss of Turin City, Juventus has the most and most fanatical fans in the city. These fans have already made arrangements in the streets and alleys around the stadium the day before the game.
Among the crowd, there were banners showing direct personal attacks on various Arsenal stars. The rioting Juventus fans were all glaring and could not wait to give the Arsenal team a warm "welcome" to the Arsenal team who came from afar.
After all, in terms of football hooligans, Italian football hooligans are definitely comparable to British football hooligans.
Fortunately, since the hotel where the team stayed was leaked several times, Arsenal's accommodation hotel has been strictly kept secret, and the Gunners did not wake up from the noise.
That morning, Arsenal, led by Wenger, took a bus without any sign to the training base provided by Juventus's city rival Torino for the final pre-match training.
The entire training process was absolutely confidential, and it was not even until the Gunners had finished training and left the training ground and started heading to the Allianz Stadium in Turin. Some Italian media did not get news.
This greatly disappointed some reporters who wanted to dig up some different news. After all, Liu Feng once set a lot of amazing records on the Apennine Peninsula. Now that he has become the hottest star in the world, Italian journalists really want to interview this star again.
However, as the Gunners entered the court and began to warm up, they did not have this opportunity until the game ended.
The sight returned to the Allianz Stadium in Torino itself, which was now filled with fans with 99% attendance. Looking around, there were three stands on all sides of the Grand St. Chu was filled with home team fans wearing black and white uniforms and flags.
As for the last stand, only half of the gun fans in red and white uniforms were covered with other fans.
Liu Feng is not unfamiliar with the uniforms that other fans wear. It is the uniforms of Piacenza, who has been away for more than three years.
It is difficult for any star to be able to make fans of a team support themselves in this way after they leave for three years.
Therefore, when Liu Feng entered the stadium and saw this scene, he took the initiative to run to the stands and waved his hands.
Arsenal fans and Piacenza fans responded to him with the same pronunciation. The huge "maple" sound swept across the stadium, and even the Juventus fans who booed were not suppressed for a moment.
This directly added a lot of haze to the beginning of the home team's game.
There is no special point in warm-up between the two sides. Everything is going on with Arsenal, and the same is true for Juventus. Except for the lack of his own goalkeeper Buffon, there is no difference.
Soon, the two teams finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room. Both coaches gave their players their last tactical speeches and speeches.
Wenger had actually finished what he should say. At the end, he said directly and just let go and kick it out and then stopped talking.
As for Allegri, he has more to say. It is definitely not easy to win Arsenal at home against Juventus. He repeatedly reminded all aspects of offense and defense, for fear that the players would ignore a certain point.
It was not until the locker room door knocked that the coach, who was somewhat worried about gains and losses, signaled that the players could appear.
"Good evening for CCTV, CCTV, audiences, welcome to watch the fourth round of the 2013-2014 Champions League group stage Juventus' home game against Arsenal. I am commentator He Wei."
The heavy game must be broadcast live, and this time is no exception. He Wei once again sat on the commentary stand of the Allianz Stadium on behalf of CCTV. His opening remarks reflected the players entering the stadium along with the passionate Champions League march.
"In this game, Juventus and Arsenal played the second match in the group. With a strong offensive in the first match, Arsenal finally defeated the opponent. Is this match avenge of Juventus or a smooth advancement of Arsenal? Stay tuned."
The captains of both sides quickly exchanged souvenirs on the court, and then came to the referee to start the captain's rock-scissors.
This time, Juventus captain Chiellini won and chose the kick-off right for the team, while Liu Feng chose a half-time close to the stands of his fans.
Soon, the red and white colors and the black and white lines became clear on the court.
“嘘~嘘!!!”
The whistle rang out the next moment after both sides stood up, and the referee directly announced the start of the game without any preparation.
"Okay, the game has officially begun. Tevez took the ball before the kickoff point. After Joe Wenke got the ball, he quickly passed it to the middle."
At the beginning of the game, the change in Juventus' formation was clearly visible. They did not continue to line up the 352 from the last time they fought, but instead formed a formation that was not like their style.
"The Zebras have a 433 formation in this game, which is quite rare. Tevez, Jovenko and Llorent formed the team's three forwards. The old woman began to emphasize the offense at home!"
He Wei was also stunned, but he quickly realized that he continued to introduce Juventus' lineup.
"The young midfielder Pogba, who made a substitute on the bench in the three midfielders, got the chance to play, while the other good people passed the midfielders were Pipirlo and the tough guy Vidal."
This is obviously the starting lineup that Allegri had set up after screening based on his outstanding players in the last round, but this does not exist on the back line.
Bonucci and Chiellini partnered with double central defenders, Martin Cáceres and Barzali were ranked left and right full-backs, and Juventus had another one in the back gate in this game.
In the goalkeeper position, Juventus rarely has the chance to play, the veteran Stolas, the goalkeeper has performed well in the 2009-10 season, and was ordered several times when Buffon was injured after joining Juventus, and this time is no exception.
On the court, Juventus, who had the power to kick off and had a formation of 433, no longer sought stability as before. After the ball had been turned around for a few laps in their own half, they directly launched their first attack.
Starting from Pirlo's pass, as Pogba quickly advanced to the half, the Allianz Stadium began to boil.
