Chapter 103: Serious Liu Feng
If you are going to do a football program now and specifically take stock of the wealthy clubs that have been the most turbulent in recent years, then Juventus in recent years will definitely be the highlight of the program.
In 2006, Juventus was directly relegated due to the Serie A telephone goal incident. This news shocked the world football world, and also revealed the Italian Football Association's zero tolerance for black ball counterfeiting. For teams like Juventus, direct relegation will mean losing a lot of things.
Among them, the most intuitive thing is its attractiveness to players.
That year, Juventus team continued to stage scenes of flying when disasters came. Many players who had expressed their loyalty to the team on various occasions before chose to leave after the Serie A giants directly became Serie B teams, they almost chose to leave without hesitation.
Fortunately, the old woman has been in Serie A for so many years and has a large number of players who are willing to be loyal to the team. When famous players such as Del Piero, Nedved, Trezege, Camoranesi, and Jen Luigi Buffon choose to stay, Juventus's fire remains.
Such a strong player base also prompted Juventus to directly create the best results in Serie B's history in the 2006-2007 season, and to advance to the First Division with three rounds left in Serie B.
In the season after the promotion to the League, the Zebras were not at all unacceptable. They finally told everyone that even after leaving Serie A for one season, Juventus was still one of the most dominant teams in Serie A.
The amazing performance of this season not only won Juventus the Champions League qualification, but also reawakened the team's strong attraction to super players. In the summer window before the start of the new season, Juventus opened the signing door for a long time, providing an unprecedented reinforcement for the team's lineup.
Since the start of the new season, Juventus has continued to remain in the top three Serie A for his stellar status. Even though Piacenza directly completed seven rounds of unbeaten at the beginning of the league, and also lost less and won more in the subsequent games, he is still a term behind the Zebras in the league rankings and ranks third.
As for the league's first place, Inter Milan led by Mourinho, is occupied by Inter Milan, and the Nerazzurri, which has completed two consecutive Serie A championships, still shows unlimited desire for a championship this season.
The match between the second and third place in the league naturally attracted the attention of many media, not to mention that the score difference between Juventus and Piacenza is only one point at this moment, which means that after the end of this game, the rankings of the two teams are likely to be directly reversed.
This kind of scramble to fight has attracted people's attention, and whether it is the Zebra Legion who returned after falling into Serie B or the Piacenza who made a big splash after rushing to Serie A, they are all quite topical teams.
Therefore, before this game, the Italian media really made people realize that journalists in every country in the world are the same. Before big news and hot topics, it is their bottom line to keep not telling lies.
Starting from the week before the game, various media have been constantly visiting the two teams for interviews, and almost no intercepting interviews with any player or coach outside the training base, allowing these media to get some information to a greater or lesser extent.
This week, whether it is Italian national sports newspapers such as "Sports in Milan" and "Sports in Rome", or the newspapers in each city's own are full of news from Piacenza and Juventus.
"The Chinese genius Feng is full of confidence in the Zebra Legion."
“Delpiero admires Piacenza’s super maple.”
"Marcisio misses his old club very much, but he will still try his best."
"Luigi Buffon is very interested in blocking Super Maple."
"Super Maple may be blocked."
...
A series of dazzling news has been published and broadcasted. Before meeting, the two teams have compared it countless times in the media.
It is unrealistic to say that these news has no effect on the players at all.
At least in the training ground in Piacenza, the players on the field were more or less affected by major media reports. Fortunately, Piacenza's players who had experienced several battles showed positive feedback, which made Conte, who was originally worried, breathed a sigh of relief.
On the training ground, Liu Feng was also concentrating on shooting training, because among so many news, there were the most news about him and Buffon.
As a fan who has been paying attention to A since childhood, he is very clear about Buffon's strength and current status. This goalkeeper, who set the highest transfer record in goalkeepers in 2001, is listed as the candidate for the world's best goalkeeper almost every year.
This is a pretty terrifying thing, because it means that in addition to having the world's top strength, this goalkeeper also has the world's top endurance.
Buffon, who was at his peak, has never given people a feeling of decline in so many years. Instead, as he grows older, he is becoming more and more demonic. Now at the age of thirty, he really has the strength to win any top shooter in the world.
Therefore, after Buffon publicly expressed his interest in limiting Liu Feng's shooting boots with his own hands, Liu Feng's inner fire of competitive spirit burned again. He showed an unprecedented serious attitude in the past few days of training.
"Feng, take a break, you've practiced for a long time."
On the court, it was supposed to be a break between training, but Liu Feng was still dragging his teammate Maurantano to practice shooting. After another extremely tricky shot was penetrated through the goal by Liu Feng, Maurantano asked Liu Feng with a bitter face: "I have been shot by you many times. Believe me, few people can block your shot of such a level."
"Buffon can, so, Tanho, you have to rest first, I will practice with Serena first."
Liu Feng scratched his head, and he waved his hand. Obviously he was not satisfied with his few shots just now. He signaled Tanho to rest a little first, and then directly pulled up the team's second goalkeeper Serena who was eager to try next to him and continued to practice.
Serena has hardly played as the team's No. 2 goalkeeper so far, but this does not mean that his strength is much inferior. In fact, the gap between him and Maurantano is not big, but unfortunately, it is really difficult to get ahead of the goalkeeper position.
"Come on Feng, I will do my best!"
It is difficult to have a chance to play in the game, Serena can only keep showing herself in training to try to impress the head coach. At this moment, he is quite excited when facing the team's strongest shooter Liu Feng. In his mind, as long as he can perform better than Maurantano or block Liu Feng, Conte will definitely look at him differently.
"Okay! Bang!"
“???”
Unfortunately, the next second, Serena was stunned when she looked at the ball that was already lying behind her.
Chapter completed!
