Chapter 405: The Super Cup is here
Tevez's performance is a little bleaker, his tacit understanding with his teammates is not very enough, especially under the pressure of Zhang Yuan, Tevez is very eager to show himself, under the dense defense of Sampdoria, he often plays alone, and the effect is naturally not ideal.

His performance actually has a lot to do with today's weather conditions, the field is relatively slippery, although it increases the difficulty of Sampdoria's defense, but it is not a good thing for Juventus, who are used to attacking on the ground, especially the difficulty of breaking through.
Conte was not satisfied with the situation at half-time, but he was helpless, and in such heavy rain conditions, whether Juventus could win or not could only depend on fate.
The offensive rhythm in the second half is still very slow, especially the main attacking Juventus, Sampdoria relies on counterattacks, and the counterattack is fast, and Juventus wants to prevent itself from being counterattacked, so it is really cautious.
In the 75th minute of the game, Conte's conventional means were already helpless against Sampdoria, and he could only start to make substitutions, who to replace?
Replace Tevez, although Tevez is very positive, but the effect of his efforts is not as good as Zhang Yuan, so Conte made such an adjustment and let Llorente replace him, although he is always unhappy to be replaced, but Tevez is helpless.
When he came off the pitch, Conte also gave him a hug to comfort, and Tevez did not overreact when he first arrived.
Llorente was in good spirits when he came on the pitch, and it was obvious that Conte would like to further strengthen the use of the ball in the air, he is more than 1.9 meters tall, and he is a good player in this kind of three-dimensional battle.
Just two minutes into the game, Llorente successfully fought for the top once, made the ball to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan took advantage of the situation to shoot, but unfortunately the ball hit the post, still failed to score.
De Leo Rossi has not yet made tactical adjustments, of course he knows what Conte is playing, but the key is that he can't let his central defenders all keep an eye on Llorente, and one success, it doesn't mean that Llorente will succeed every time, De Leo Rossi thinks about luck and can't take care of one or the other.
So Llorente's success didn't sound the alarm for him, but the subsequent changes made him feel the threat of Llorente, because this guy is too strong to compete for the top, he has the body and height, and the speed is not dominant, but Llorente is very teamwork, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a tacit understanding with his teammates, the point of this guy's transition to the top is always to find Zhang Yuan.
In the 84th minute, he finally completed a deadly aerial duel, facing Lichtsteiner's cross from the side, Llorente headed in the middle, Zhang Yuan nodded the ball in the second relay, and forcefully pushed the ball into the gate guarded by Costa.
Relying on such means to finally break the deadlock, Conte also breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines, if he really got a draw at the Malassi Stadium, Conte would not feel so annoyed, after all, this is not the blessed land of Juventus, not to mention that the weather conditions today are not good, but if you can get three points and usher in a good start, it is the most ideal effect at that time.
After the goal, Juventus had to play conservatively, Llorente also fell silent, and Derio Rossi wanted to attack at this time, but it was not so easy, in the face of Juventus, who had stronger control, they couldn't get anything cheap, and the final result of this game also stayed at 0:1, Juventus faced the former nemesis, finally broke the spell, and made a good start to the league.
Conte was happy with the result after the game and was happy with the 1-0 scoreline.
"You know, Sampdoria haven't beaten them in a long time and they caused us some problems today!, I'm happy with the 1-0 scoreline!"
But the focus was not on Juventus' 1-0 score, but on Tevez's dismissal, which Conte explained: "Carlos is doing well, but he needs some time to adapt and I'm very happy with him, I needed some changes in attack at the time!"
Reporters know, but they don't know if Tevez will be satisfied with such an explanation.
After the first round of the new season, Juventus has no time to rest, because Juventus will play the UEFA Super Cup in the middle of the week, which is equivalent to the start of the season Juventus is two games a week.
This is also a matter of no choice, the more honors you pursue, the more you need to fight on multiple fronts, Zhang Yuan is very interested in this game, the reason is because he has not won the Super Cup.
Juventus faced Chelsea in the 2013 Super Cup, the third time the two teams met in just one year, and Di Matteo met Juventus twice last season, which was a painful lesson for Juventus and a direct result of his dismissal.
After Di Matteo's class, Abramovic unexpectedly chose Benitez as the firefighting coach, Benitez led the team in Chelsea and the results were not very good, even worse than Di Matteo, but Benitez is not a cup coach, although the league is a mess, but in the League Cup, Benitez led Chelsea all the way through and won the League Cup.
Of course, this title did not prolong his life, and he decided to leave early before the season ended, and just after the end of the season, he left Chelsea and returned to Serie A, joining Juventus' current strongest challenger, Napoli, and taking over Mazzalhi's class.
Chelsea's current head coach is Jose Mourinho, a coach like him is not worried about leaving home at all, Mourinho's years at Real Madrid can definitely not be called a success, a league title and a Copa del Rey title really can't be nothing, of course, if you have to challenge Barcelona from the point of view, Mourinho can't be called a success.
Jose Mourinho in the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga has coached, but when it comes to feelings, he still likes the Premier League, a special one is really not ordinary, first of all, the power of the Premier League team Mourinho is objective, and secondly, the Premier League is more difficult, here is not to say that their strong team lineup is stronger than several other league giants, but the strength of the first few teams is not much different, Mourinho likes such a test, take a closer look at Mourinho's resume, it is not difficult to see that this guy is definitely a person who challenges himself, most people think that good horses do not eat back grass, he is biased, and finally the environment of the Premier League has created a coach will become the focus of incredibity, Mourinho's return does not rule out four years of such an environment。
Chelsea's movement this summer is not very big, compared with several other giants, it is a small investment, but it is very targeted, and their squad is not bad.
In any case, Chelsea's current manager is Mourinho, which is not a good thing for Juventus, Benitez has a lot of experience in playing in the cup, Mourinho is even better than Benitez, Di Matteo is not very experienced, but Mourinho is very experienced, he is not afraid of such a one-round game, and often such a one-legged game, his winning rate is quite good.
The match was played at the Eden Stadium in Prague, Czech Republic, which can only accommodate about 20,000 people.
The UEFA Super Cup used to be played at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco, but that stadium was only about 20,000, and UEFA arranged this because it was afraid of losing money.
The UEFA Super Cup sounds like a duel between the Champions League and the Europa League, but in reality, like the Super Cups within countries, the pre-season warm-up atmosphere is always inevitable before the league starts. The perception of many, including players, that this is just part of the pre-season warm-up after all has left UEFA unable to embrace this prestigious competition.
And since this year, the UEFA Super Cup has been touring all member countries, where are so many fans of the two participating teams?!
The tournament is not as under-valued as it might seem, with Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, for example, taking the tournament very seriously, and both of them have said in interviews with reporters that they will do everything in their power to win the title.
Jose Mourinho has just arrived at Chelsea this season, so he naturally hopes to win this Super Cup to give himself a new journey, and Conte also hopes to win this game to prove his coaching ability, and will not back down at all in the face of a round of games.
