Chapter 283: Can You Break the Curse?
The results of the Champions League draw are good, not only Zhang Yuan and Matri think, but Juventus also thinks so. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Juventus' side of the draw was the general manager Marotta, who was interviewed by Sky Sports for the first time after the draw ended: "Juventus is home! I just say that because we are back in a stage that is in line with the history, values and achievements of the club, which is where a club of great stature like Juventus should be. President Agnelli and I are both very happy with the draw and the new excitement that the Champions League has given us, which is very important and we will go on a new journey with that excitement. ”
Marotta is satisfied but not only keeps a low profile: "Our honor showroom is full of trophies, and we will do our best to make them shine in the best possible way. Of course, we can't forget the humble and low-key attitude, in my opinion the group is very evenly matched, every game is full of pitfalls, it is never easy to break through, we have to respect every opponent. Did Chelsea knock out Juventus? Yes, it may have been fateful and hopefully we can change our destiny, but I think the clash with Chelsea is a big deal for this new Juventus team, we have to go through some tests against the defending champions of the tournament and playing against them gives us the experience we need to play and maybe it will affect our development for years to come. Our goal? Interpret yourself in the best possible way while going as far as you can. ”
The story of Chelsea's elimination of Juventus has to be traced back to the time when he was not here, in '09.
Antonio Conte, the team's manager, also said: "First of all, I want to say that I am very happy because I have seen Juventus' name in the Champions League again, and in terms of the traditions of the club, the results and the contribution to Italian football, this is where we should be. With Chelsea in the same group as they are the defending champions, the game will undoubtedly be tough, but playing against such an opponent would be enough to double the appeal of the challenge. It's always exciting to play in England, especially at a venue like Stamford Bridge. Compared to the games against Shakhtar Donetsk and North Zealand, Ukrainian football has been an important reality for the past few years, as evidenced by Shakhtar's second-tier team, and playing against Danish teams is a very physical task. In any case, we must not underestimate any opponent because the teams that can participate in the Champions League are competitive enough. We won the Scudetto last season unbeaten and the Champions League is obviously a lot more difficult, but it's a glorious stage and there are so many reasons to perform! ”
Conte is obviously very ambitious, he is even dreaming of the Big Ears Cup, although in his heart he does not think that his team must be the top teams, but people, there is no dream and salted fish.
Juventus players also expressed their opinions that this draw was a good draw, Zhang Wei called Zhang Yuan as soon as he heard the smell of fish, and interviewed Zhang Yuan by phone to ask Zhang Yuan's opinion.
"This draw is good for us, but the Champions League must be the strongest team to the end, anything is possible, we still need to be careful!" Zhang Yuan's answer was relatively low-key.
Buffon remembered that Chelsea eliminated Juventus that year, and shouted that this time he must take revenge!
But the outside world is not unanimously optimistic that Juventus will qualify, and the kind Italian media reminded that Shakhtar Donetsk and North Zealand are not here for a day trip, Shakhtar Donetsk is the cradle of demons, and North Zealand is a mysterious big dark horse, and it will capsize if you are not careful.
The day before the Udinese game, Antonio Conte put an end to the Champions League draw and asked the players to focus on the upcoming games rather than the Champions League, which still has some time to go.
Udinese, last season's first-round opponents, moved a place with Parma this season and were placed in the second round, also at home.
However, they have not had a good start to the season and have gone three games without a win in qualifying for the Champions League.
This is not surprising, Juventus poached two absolute main Asamoah and Isla from their team, and the main goalkeeper Handanovic also went to Inter Milan, but for a team like Udinese, you can't say that their strength has declined, they always have a steady stream of newcomers popping up, but this requires little Zhuge Guidorin to get more time to get familiar with and dig.
It looks like Guidolin hasn't fully realised Udinese's potential in the summer's preparations, but he hasn't done a bad job, and Udinese were knocked out of Braga only on penalties.
In the first round of the league away to Fiorentina, they were only one goal away from their opponents, you must know that in terms of current strength on paper, Fiorentina is undoubtedly better than Udinese.
It is worth mentioning Handanovic, this summer, Handanovic is going to Inter Milan, and asked Zhang Yuan's opinion in advance, Zhang Yuan is naturally a hundred agree, first of all, Inter Milan is a giant in Serie A, Handanovic is such a low-key goalkeeper who has only now been called by the giants, and should not refuse, and secondly, Zhang Yuan bluntly told his big brother that Inter Milan is the real Serie A champion adjustment this season in his opinion, He said to Handanovic that you might be able to win the league next year, but you have to get past me first!
Zhang Yuan also relied on some of his past memories to give Handanovic a lot of advice, of course, I don't know if it can be used, after all, Inter Milan has also changed a lot.
Zhang Yuan's help is not the key factor, Handanovic has been 200% motivated since he received the invitation from Inter Milan, and he is also eager to prove his strength in the giants, besides, his brother is not too young, and if he goes to the giants later, he can only be a substitute for the younger brothers, and the time is just right.
Guidolin was well prepared for the game, but the surprise of the game happened very early, and in the 12th minute of the first half, Giovinco burst into the box and was brought down by Udinese goalkeeper Burkic, and the referee not only gave Juventus a penalty but also expelled Burkic from the field.
Udinese were one less man to play, Vidal opened the scoring from the penalty spot, and the game was completely into the rhythm of Juventus, which may be the excitement of returning to the Champions League, and Juventus players were very excited in this game.
Zhang Yuan scored three goals in the 20th minute, 24th minute, and 43rd minute respectively, directly hitting Udinese into the abyss, and he was replaced in the 63rd minute of the second half.
In the second half, Giovinco scored another goal, and Udinese took advantage of Juventus' excitement to score a goal to save some face.
Although Zhang Yuan scored a goal in the last game, he was not the best in the game, and in this game he won the best in the game without any controversy and took away the game ball.
Although Udinese played one less man not long after the opening, the outside media was still shocked by Zhang Yuan's fiery gun barrel, this guy has never seemed to have a problem scoring since last season, and he has not seen a slump and decline in form for so long.
After successive victories, Juventus firmly locked the top spot, and the other two in the top three in the north won and lost, and they only accumulated three points.
After playing Udinese, Zhang Yuan set off for China, and on September 11, the national team will welcome the strongest team in the group in the top 10, the Japanese team.
Because of historical problems, the Chinese team has always been as fierce as the Japanese team collided with the earth, and the fans of their respective teams were eager to step on the opponent hard, before the 90s, the Chinese team and the Japanese team were actually the same, no! The Chinese team has never been afraid of the Japanese team, but after the nineties, Japanese football embarked on the road of rise, while the level of the Chinese team declined, and since then it has never defeated the Japanese team, and has not won a victory since 98.
If you don't talk about anti-Japanese resistance, that's how it came!
The question is now, the Chinese team has produced a great character, Zhang Yuan, the first value in Asia, a world-class star, can China break the curse?!
