"You should trust me! I'm here to help you, we're not opposites, we're a unity, and I want to help you improve! Just like your previous coaches, but you have to listen to me now!" Conte said sincerely. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Mr. Coach, I believe in you! I hope to improve under you!" Zhang Yuan mixed with gratitude, he liked Conte's openness and honesty.

Zhang Yuan followed Juventus's intense preparations, regardless of mundane things, the work of the settlement family was naturally done by Evelyn, and Anna couldn't bear it and joined in this work.

Zhang Yuan has no other requirements for residence, he only has one thing, he hopes to be closer to the training place, but this time is different, he has to think about his children, so when Anna said to buy a house near Vinovo, Zhang Yuan said that there is no need, we should now choose a place with a good environment to buy a house.

So they chose a villa in Moncalieri, with many rooms, bedrooms, a swimming pool and a gym, which is not far from Juventus' training base Vinovo, and not far from the center of Turin, with very convenient transportation, of course, Zhang Yuan will drive himself.

Zhang Yuan built a small football field on the wide lawn, the size of a futsal field.

On the afternoon of September 11, the Juventus Arena ushered in the first match of the new season, Juventus played Parma at home.

Parma was very famous 10 years ago, one of the "Seven Sisters of Serie A" in the mouth of Chinese fans, at that time their backstage boss was Parramate, there are many family businesses in Italy, Parma's backstage is also a family business, a large dairy company, decades of time-honored brands, after they went bankrupt in 2003, Parma also fell into trouble.

In 2003, Parma's annual financial report stated that the club lost 77 million euros, the top superstar was sold out and the board resigned. IN THE 2005-06 SEASON, PARMA SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE ITALIAN NEW DEAL TO CHANGE THE NAME OF "ACPARMA" TO "PARMAFC" AND CLEAR THE ORIGINAL DEBT.

Later, they were sold by Giraldi, this gentleman is a funny character, he does not have much strength in his own right, it is not easy to restore Parma's former glory, he took over Parma, and he actually thought of a living example of the Pozzo family.

The Pozzo family are the backstage owners of Udinese, and they make a living by selecting, developing and selling players, not only keeping Udinese in Serie A, but also making money in this way.

Giraldi also wants to do what he wants, but Parma is not Udinese, Udinese's set is not built in a day or just a few years, Parma does not have such a big network, Giraldi began to buy and sell players after taking over Parma, and the annual transaction volume is relatively large.

But the result is that Parma still has not improved, but it is good to stay in Serie A, Amaury was also mixed with Parma last season, scoring 6 goals in 13 appearances, and contributing to Parma's relegation.

However, Parma will not buy him out, and Amaury's salary is either something they can afford or Juventus gives them for free, and they will not be able to take it over.

Conte basically used the same lineup as last season in this game, with Gianluigi Buffon as the goalkeeper, Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Chiellini and De Celle as defenders, Marchisio, Pirlo, Giaccherini and Pepe as midfielders, and Piero and Matri as forwards.

There are also newcomers among them, Lichtsteiner and Giaccherini both came to Juventus in the summer window.

On the bench today sat Bonucci, Zhang Yuan, Krasic, Elia, Vidal, Vucinic, Storari.

Parma's coach is Colomba, he has been in the small club for a long time, last season Parma had a period of relegation was quite difficult, the top management fired Marino, and then invited Colomba to take over the team, Colomba successfully led the team to relegation, this season Parma continued to invite him to lead the team.

Last season when he took over, he reused Amaury, and received good results, Amaury was completely transformed, no longer the appearance of the iron guard, this season he still has a good striker available, Juventus academy produced Giovinco in Juventus can not play the main team, last season was loaned to Parma, this season Parma exercised the right to buy out half of the ownership, and officially included Giovinco under his command.

The other striker that Parma used today is Pelle, Pelle is tall and belongs to the type of high school striker like Toney, of course, there is a little bit worse than Tony in ability, and he has just come to Parma this season, which is almost to replace Amaury's position.

Colomba's striker duo is also the collocation of many teams in Serie A, Serie A is different from La Liga, just the dexterity is enough, in Serie A, many teams are building the foundation on defense, the slow pace leads to their defensive system is relatively perfect most of the time, the weak team plays the strong team, the same is not a counterattack kung fu will definitely work, high school forwards, good at grabbing points of the striker is very useful to the team.

But today Colomba was destined for bad luck, as he met the Bianconeri, who were just rushing to make a mark on their new stadium.

From the beginning of the game, the Bianconeri began to press Parma's half like a tide, since the arrival of Andrea Pirlo, Conte began to establish a tactical system with Pirlo as the core of the midfield, the Bianconeri played poorly in previous seasons for many reasons, including the midfielder who could not take on the core responsibility.

Marchisio is a well-rounded midfielder, he is a B2B midfielder with a well-rounded ability, but if you have to say that he is at the top of his game, he has not, at least so far he has not proven himself to be a player who can play the core.

After his arrival, Zhang Yuan learned about Marchisio's nickname "Soy Sauce Horse" by Chinese fans, which means that his presence on the field is very low, and he feels that he can't do anything.

But since his return, successive managers have placed their trust in him, and he has been a regular in every manager, and Conte's arrival is no exception.

The escort next to Pirlo in this game is Marchisio, this is a new subject, it stands to reason that Pirlo needs to have a Gattuso-like steal strongman by his side, but Juventus does not, and Vidal is also a Marchisio-like B2B midfielder.

However, in the face of the relatively weak Parma, coupled with Pirlo's super ability to control the rhythm, Juventus easily grasped the initiative on the field.

It is worth mentioning the right wing-back Lichtsteiner, who only transferred from Lazio this year, and even sacrificed his own interests in order to join Juventus.

Zhang Yuan sat on the bench and saw Lichtsteiner on the field and appreciated it, yes, he was appreciative, he had a comparison, the former Real Madrid teammate Marcelo, Marcelo was faster than Lichtsteiner, and he was better than Lichtsteiner in getting rid of it, but to make a choice, Zhang Yuan would definitely choose Lichtsteiner, he was a real balanced attack and defense, especially able to run, which is very important for modern fullbacks, Lichtsteiner can not only go up but also do not lose the defensive position is very rare.

Zhang Yuan's strength is definitely underestimated, and Juventus has made a good deal.

The role of the full-backs in the team is not to be able to go up and give as many assists as Alves and McCone, and many of their roles are not judged by this in attack, but according to the needs of the manager, pressing and putting pressure on the opponent, so that the opponent's wing cannot be attacked.

In this regard, Lichtsteiner did a good job of completing the task assigned by Conte, and his perseverance finally paid off.

In the 16th minute, Parma made a long pass from the back to find Pelle, but Barzagli successfully cleared the ball, and after Lichtsteiner got the ball, he did not rush forward, but passed to the defender Andrea Pirlo, who was dragged behind.

This is basically the routine of Juventus under Antonio Conte, and if there is a ball, it is called to Pirlo to deal with.

Pirlo's backward pass was unhurried, Lichtsteiner stepped forward, very quickly forward, after Pirlo regained possession, he suddenly got up and made a long pass behind Parma's backline, empty, Lichtsteiner successfully stepped forward, shook goalkeeper Mirante, and successfully scored the ball into the empty goal.

Juventus took a one-goal advantage at home and Lichtsteiner celebrated with his arms raised, delighted that it was a goal that went down in history and the first official goal in the Juventus Arena.

Zhang Yuan and the players on the bench stood up and applauded him in celebration.
