Verona is a historic city located in the Veneto region, the city was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 2000, this city has two more famous teams, one is Verona, which has won the Serie A championship, and the other is Chievo, commonly known as the giant killer.

Chievo's nickname Flying Donkey is closely related to Verona, because in history Verona is a team that has won Serie A and has long participated in Serie A, while Chievo itself is not a team in the city, it is a small team that grew up in a small village of Verona at that time, and has always been mixed in the lower leagues.

Verona fans laughed at Chievo, if you can all rush to Serie A, then donkeys can fly into the sky!

Why do you have to say donkeys? In fact, Verona fans deliberately say that about Chievo, Chievo has a knight on the crest, riding a horse instead of a donkey, and the knight with a spear on horseback is the Cangrande who ruled Verona in the thirteenth century. During the 150 years that the Scala family ruled Verona, Cangrande was the most successful: militarily, he conquered the neighboring cities of Padua and Vicenza; Politically, he gained the trust of the Holy Roman Emperor; Culturally, he sheltered and financed a group of poets and painters such as Dante and Giotto.

However, the reality was a slap in the face to the Hellas Verona fans, who were unexpectedly promoted in the 2001/02 season, the first time in Chievo's history to enter Serie A, that Chievo fans drew a winged donkey to pay tribute to the previously disrespectful Verona fans.

The nickname "Flying Donkey" was also called, and Verona fans had the intention of humiliation, but the nickname turned out to be a complimentary nickname for the city's sworn enemy.

Chievo has been fighting in Serie A for a long time over the years, and has a good record, often able to create problems for the giants, so they have also won the reputation of the killers of the giants, but their rival Verona, but gradually reduced to the second division, and it is difficult for the two teams to meet now.

After the callgate in 2006, Chievo picked up a bargain, they were originally fifth, then Juventus were deprived of the title and could not participate in the Champions League, and in turn, Chievo qualified for the Champions League, and then this point in time became their cup.

It is not possible to rush ducks to the shelves, Chievo's own bench thickness is not enough, and as a result, they not only failed to make a difference in European competition that season, but also were relegated in the league, and then promoted to the first division, they can only be relegated.

Last season, under the leadership of Pioli, the team achieved a good result of 11th place in the league and was relegated ahead of schedule, Pioli was appreciated by the big mouth Zamparini and was invited to coach Palermo, Palermo qualified for the League Cup, Pioli naturally wanted to go further, so he resigned from Chievo.

This season, Chievo brought back Di Carlo, Di Carlo is not very strange, in Serie B, Mantua was the head coach of Di Carlo, and Rimini once played against them.

Di Carlo, who entered the palace for the second time, led the team to good results in the new season, achieving 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, accumulating eight points, and only one game away from Juventus.

Napoli and Inter Milan both capsized here last season, while Juventus drew with Chievo over both legs last season, and Chievo have played three games at home without losing a game this season.

In his pre-match press conference before the game, Conte was cautious, always worried about the team's complacency, and deliberately reminded Juventus in front of the media that there should be no relaxation.

And at this press conference, he also directly revealed that Zhang Yuan will take turns to rest in this game and will not play, which makes many media feel strange that a player in good condition does not use it.

"He's been a little tired from his last consecutive games and I'm going to give him a rest! We have other good players up front and they can play well as well! ”

The real reason is that Conte is not very satisfied with Zhang Yuan's training state, he feels that Zhang Yuan's mental state and competitive state are not good, so he made such a decision, from the end of the national team match day to this round of games, Zhang Yuan still has a few days of recovery time, fatigue should not be a particularly big problem, even if there is, the last half is still okay, fatigue is not the main reason.

Di Carlo recently watched all the game videos of Juventus in the new season, and he figured out Conte's routine, Conte seems to like to use the 433 formation recently, setting up a single center, and the single center has been played by Zhang Yuan in the past two games, Zhang Yuan is not a traditional center, and he has a lot of retreats.

Zhang Yuan was not in this game, and Di Carlo guessed that Conte was going to play Vucinic, because Vucinic's type is actually similar to Zhang Yuan, but there is a gap in ability.

Sure enough, in this game on October 16, Conte still used 433, and the single center forward became Vucinic!

Di Carlo generally uses 4312 in the flying donkey this season, originally he wanted to change the formation, the midfielder wanted to set up five midfielders, but in the end he still held back, the 4312 Chievo team is obviously more adaptable, Juventus makes Di Carlo very jealous, the change of formation is good and bad, weighing the pros and cons, Di Carlo would rather choose a formation that makes the Chievo players more familiar.

Di Carlo's way to stop Juventus' attack is to not be ambitious at his home stadium, to be practical, the actual basis is to defend, several lines to shrink, to be compact, not to give Juventus any good opportunities. The second is to use foul tactics frequently, trying to limit all threats to the midfield.

The battle between two teams is far from being as simple as two managers battling wits and courage, and it is best explained by the butterfly effect, many factors can lead to the direction of the game.

Juventus played very patiently in this game, which is also the philosophy of Conte, the game has 90 minutes, which is not a short time, and he always believes that Chievo will make some mistakes, and his team only needs to catch it once.

In the face of Chievo's foul, Juventus was not provoked by anger, the attacking system worked in an orderly manner, there were no suitable chances, and it was not easy to shoot, and the possession rate easily reached 65%.

Di Carlo's tactics were very successful, in fact, Juventus was due to the lack of a decisive person, no matter how good they were in possession, they always struggled to create any effective chances.

0:0 in the first half, Conte was not angry or angry, he still had patience, but in the next 70 minutes of the half, Juventus was still unable to break through Chievo's door, and Conte was anxious, this is not possible.

He started the game with three points, but now it looks like Chievo are tough to deal with, Juventus have seven shots on goal, but what will be the test for Sorrentino? It was zero, Sorrentino didn't make even a single save, but it was Pelissier who put Buffon to the test twice.

Conte started gambling again, replacing Vidal with Piero, Vucinic with Matri, Estigarivia for Krasic, Pepe and Estigarivia in advance, and the formation changed the attack formation of 424 in order to forcibly eat Chievo.

Di Carlo immediately adjusted his formation to 442, defending the wing, with the clear purpose of stopping Juventus' attack on the wing.

Juventus were helpless, and in the last 20 minutes, they contributed 6 shots on goal, and finally caused Sorrentino 2 problems, just trouble, not to beat Sorrentino.

At the end of the 90 minutes, Chievo relied on stubborn defending and fouling tactics to hold Juventus to a draw on their home turf, and the Bent Gordy Stadium was not a blessed place for Juventus, who have failed to win here for two consecutive seasons.

'We had a chance to win today and Chievo defended well today! They have too many fouls! Conte was reluctant after the game, and Chievo committed a whopping 25 fouls throughout the game, which is also a little too much, and he still has a lot of complaints.

"Lots of fouls?! I don't think that's a problem! Where is the team in the game that doesn't foul?! That's not where we're to blame, and there are places I don't think it's a foul! 'DiCarlo doesn't look at fouls the way Conte does.

Zhang Yuan did not play, Juventus immediately did not score, when the reporter asked Conte Zhang Yuan's absence caused problems for Juventus' attack.

"No, we only got one point today, we can't put it down to whether one person plays or not, we should learn from this as a team!"
