Chapter 78 Turin Derby

And so, it turned out again.

After Ray Yi replied that Juventus is located in Juventus City, Italy, Dominguez once again walked forward without saying a word. So Lei Yi's wild instinct told him...... He's right, he's wrong! Wait, why add "again"!

Knowing that he must have said something wrong, Lei Yi chased after Dominguez with his long and short legs, and at the same time quickly opened the web page with his mobile phone and searched for Juventus.

Then, Google sued him for Juventus Football Club...... Located in the city of Turin, in the Piedmont region of Italy! City of Turin!!

How so!! Juventus is actually Torino City, so why is he called Juventus!!

"Dominguez! Dominguez I was wrong!! ”

"Oh! Dominguez you can't stop talking again!! ”

"Domingos!! Actually, you can't blame me for this! How did I know there was a team here, and their name had nothing to do with the city they were in! ”

"I read the Wikipedia introduction!! In fact, according to the nature of Juventus' club, they should obviously be called Torino International! ”

Long and short legs looked at the introduction of the Juventus team on the web page, and chased after his Brazilian brother, Dominguez, so in Brazilian Portuguese. And it was when he chased the 186-centimeter-tall Brazilian midfielder with his characteristic pace with his long and short legs that he saw the posters of the Torino players in the Comunale stadium.

It was on a huge light box placed every ten meters or so in the sky corridor. These lightboxes roll to replace the player posters inside every few seconds. Then, Lei Yi saw that man, the most successful Asian of all time in world football.

The poster caught his attention almost instantly.

In fact, Lei Yi was originally not interested in this compatriot of his.

A player who is neither his opponent nor his teammate, so why should he have special, extra attention to this person? There are always so many good players in the world, and it is impossible for him to study people one by one, right? Then he wouldn't be a player, and the coach wouldn't need to do that, probably only the team's sporting director.

Lei Yi thought so in his heart, and he thought so. But the people around him don't think so.

In fact, since the day Lei Yi became famous, there have been too many people who like to scoop Lei Yi to compare with Yue Yihuang, from the news media, fans from various countries, to the coach of the team, they will more or less scoop Lei Yi to compare with the flag of the Turin God team's return to the altar.

Even many people will ignore Lei Yi's long and short legs and the "garrincha" that he printed on the back of his jersey, and call him "Xinyue Yihuang". Even the friends in the "Soccer Boys Save the World League" always use "Don't worry, King!" You're still young! Although Yue Yihuang is very powerful now, you will be better than him in the future! Such words to comfort Thunder Wing, who thought that their young hearts had been hurt.

But we ...... It's not like it at all.

Looking at the huge poster inside the light box, Long and Short Legs thought so.

Except for the same yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, there is nothing similar about us.

The man on the poster is still as young as he had seen in the Champions League broadcast a year ago, making it impossible to guess his true age. This man has excellent looks and an unforgettable temperament, and he looks completely different on the pitch on the poster. With a shallow smile on his face, a smile like that...... It will make people unconsciously want to smile at him when they see it. Even if what is in front of you at the moment is just a poster of him.

Long and short legs stopped to take a good look at this man, to see this man who together with his teammates helped a second division team to the top of Europe and lift the Champions League trophy in seven years. But even when the long and short legs stood in front of the huge light box, the poster in the light box was scrolling again.

This time, it was the number ten king of the Turin team who appeared in front of him.

Prince Francisco of Turin.

β€œleiyοΌŸβ€

Dominguez, who was walking in front, noticed that his friend had long since disappeared from the crowd, so he walked back to look for his friend. Then he found the young right winger standing in front of the large lightbox, looking up at the poster in the lightbox.

"Domingos, you've played against Torino."

Seeing the Brazilian midfielder facing him, Thunder didn't take his eyes off the poster at all, and Domingos said so. So Dominguez walked over to Thunder Wing and looked at Francisco's poster as well.

"Yes, I've fought them twice."

"And what about them...... How strong is it, exactly? ”

I have heard countless times from other people's mouths about Yue Yihuang, Francisco, and the Turin God Team. That always makes Thunder Wing curious. Although, he can also see the game of this "legendary" team from the broadcast of the match. But for Thunder Wing, without facing them head-on, he can't feel the true strength of a team.

So, Lei Yi opened his mouth to ask his friend.

This question made Dominguez think for a while and then said, "It's so strong...... If we beat them in the league, it means to us as if we have won six league points in one game. ”

Domingos's words made Thunder Wing turn his head to look at him in surprise.

You know, in the league, the points that can be earned by a win are 3 points.

Dominguez can say such things to describe the toughness of the Torino team, which is really a very high evaluation.

But that's not all Dominguez has to say. When the large lightbox was replaced with Yue Yihuang's poster, the Brazilian continued: "Francisco and Yue, they are very respectable players. They perfectly interpret what football means to the players and to the fans on the pitch. It's a shame I didn't get to play against them at their peak. But even so, my teammates and I couldn't beat them. ”

Hearing this, Lei Yi took a very serious look at the man who looked very gentle on the poster. It's hard to imagine that such a man would have a nickname like "Phantom Child" on the court.

"Let's go."

Long and short legs said this, and finally walked with Dominguez to the entryway corresponding to the area indicated by the ticket in their hand.

There was still an hour before the start of the game, but many fans were already in the stadium, and many of them were die-hard Torino fans. They will need to set up an elegant sea of garnet red and white before the start of the game, and they will also have to prepare the salute that Torino will need to release after the goal. Many Torino fans also began to distribute small garnet red and white flags with the Torino team emblem on every seat in the stadium, so that some Torino fans who were neutral or unprepared before entering the stadium could wave the Torino players when they came out.

When a beautiful Italian girl walked up to Lei Yi and Domingos, she seemed to recognize Domingos in sunglasses. But she still very kindly scooped out a small rolled plastic flag from her basket and put it in front of Domingos, who also took the small flag very gentlemanly, and said to the other party in Italian:

"Thanks, I'll remember to wave it when the game starts."

So the Italian girl smiled even more charmingly, and handed a flag of a different color to Thunder Wing, who also learned Domingos and said "thank you" to the other party in Italian.

Before Thunderwing's birth, the Italian teams Juventus and Torino had a long time sharing the pitch. It's like AC Milan and Inter Milan. It's just that, for Milan fans, if you were an AC Milan fan, you'd call that stadium San Siro. And if you're an Inter fan, you'll call that stadium Meazza.

Just by what people call a stadium, you can tell exactly if they belong to AC Milan's red or Inter's blue.

However, the history of the Torino team and the Juventus public stadium came to an end at the beginning of the century.

Juventus, which had been financially successful, abandoned the stadium they shared with Torino and bought the Old Alp Stadium, which it renovated into the best stadium in Italy at the time. After that, the Torino team at the time also bought the old Comunale Stadium and renovated it, only to be nearly bankrupt and in debt.

In this way, the Turin team waited for her current holder.

"Do you know the past history of the Torino team?"

As the fans arrived early one after another, Dominguez asked Thunder Wing. That made the long leg scratch his hair, and then looked at the court that was being put the finishing touches on by the staff, and said:

"I ...... Know some. They suffered a plane crash in '49. A blow that ruins miΓ¨re. ”

In fact, Ray knows more than Domingos about the Supega air disaster in '49 that shattered the Turin dynasty and the Munich air disaster in '58 that cost Manchester United. And for Thunder Wing, those are also closer, more terrifying.

In 49, Garrincha was 16 years old. And in 58, it was the year when Garrincha participated in the World Cup for the first time and won the World Cup for Brazil. So, of course, the Munich air crash frightened them all. And because it was an English team that had an accident, and the place where they had an accident was in Germany. At this point in time, not many years after the end of World War II, the delicate relationship between the two countries once elevated the plane crash to the level of a country. It almost cast a shadow over that year's World Cup.

But it wasn't until after the Munich air disaster in '58 that Lei Yi learned from Garrincha that nine years before that crash, there was an even more devastating air crash that almost ruined Italian football.

In the last century, airplanes were a means of transportation with a high accident rate.

Before and after World War II, many planes disintegrated in the air for unknown reasons. The cost of life prompts people to constantly search for the cause of the crash and try their best to perfect it. But human beings are always so fearless and brave when they yearn to fly, and they are too brave to explain with any reason.

In the process of continuous improvement of the aircraft, when it is always in danger of disintegrating in the air without warning, there are still so many people who are willing to fly it.

And it's not until years, decades later, that you understand why so many people are killed...... It would be that simple.

For example, years later, people found the reason why so many planes disintegrated in the air without warning, and it was simply because the aircraft engineers used square rather than oval glass on the windows of the planes.

For example, the real reason for the Munich air crash was only the snow on the runway when the plane took off...... It's a little thicker.

"I have a rough idea of how tough a team Torino was before the Supega crash. That's a lot better than their sibling Florence. Thinking of the friendly match between Brazil and Fiorentina before the World Cup in '58, and thinking of the poor goalkeeper who was teased many times by Garrincha, Lei Yi couldn't suppress his laughter, and then continued: "I guess they should be better than Botafogo and Santos at that time. ”

Lei Yi's words made Domingos look at his long-legged friend in surprise. As a friend who knows Thunder Wing, Domingos believes that this may be the highest praise that Thunder Wing can give to that Torino team.

But instead of saying it all, he continued: "Because the plane crash at that time took the lives of all the main players of the Torino team and the coaching staff. As a result, Torino has been reduced to a third-rate team, from the dominance of Italian football to a team that often falls to the second division. Until their current holder, the Jewish-American Karl, came to Turin. ”

In just seven years, the former second division team returned to the altar and lifted the Champions League trophy.

And Yue Yihuang, the Asian player who began to build feats for the team when the Torino team was still in the second division, has also jumped from an unknown young player to a top player in world football in the past seven years.

Until now, this is the fifteenth year that the Phantom Child has played for the Torino team.

At 2:30 p.m. European time, the players of both teams walked out of the tunnel and began their final warm-up on half of the field.

Dominguez bought a pretty good ticket, and it was in the second row of the area next to the players' tunnel on the side of the podium!

When Yue Yihuang and his club teammates walked out of the players' tunnel, Lei Yi actually saw him less than ten meters away for the first time.

I don't know if it's the wild intuition between the players, Lei Yi knew at the first glance when he saw Yue Yihuang at close range that this person was different!

He's of course completely different from himself, and he's also a completely different type of player from Pele and Garrincha!

This is a ...... Very European players.

Just from Yue Yihuang's figure seriously warming up on the sidelines, Lei Yi can understand this!

The atmosphere in the stadium was completely ignited by the appearance of the Torino players!! On the side of the stand where the Torino die-hard fans were, a Torino number 12 shirt rose so huge that it almost covered the entire stand!!

There were fanatical voices from the fans, applause, whistles, chanting, all of which were intertwined. And the brave Juventus fans who came to watch the game away from home in this local derby were squeezed into a tiny, tiny area. That's probably only a twelfth or even smaller of the stadium's total stands. They raised the Juventus crest in that narrow area and set off yellow smoke.

In the face of this provocation from the local derby, the fans of the Torino team immediately let out even more deafening shouts. Almost at the same moment, the stadium erupted in sharp boos for the crowd of Juventus fans who dared to come to their home stadium to provoke them. It seemed to be an attempt to put the Juventus fans to shame unfurling their huge curtain with the Bianconeri team crest.

"Dominguez! What is written on the banner held up over there? I can't read that Italian! ”

"Which one?"

Domingos, whose eyesight is not as scary as a wild animal like Thunder Wing, looked in the direction that Ray Wing was pointing, and after confirming it several times, Domingos, who had been learning Italian since his transfer to Inter Milan, read out the translation to his long-legged friend:

"The banner reads: We have never played match-fixing."

&nbs

p; Obviously, this is a satire on Juventus's "phonegate" incident that was exposed in 2006. In that year, Mogi, who was the manager of Juventus at the time, tried to play match-fixing through the referee's selection of GuΓ², and the phone call was recorded and exposed, which finally caused a sensation in the world.

In that incident, Juventus were punished with a deduction of league points, two seasons of the Serie A title and relegation to the second division. Fiorentina, AC Milan, and Lazio were also investigated and deducted a certain number of league points.

It was after the "phonegate" incident that Serie A quickly went from its heyday to decline.

It is worth mentioning that Inter Milan, where Dominguez played, became the only team in the top three of the North at that time to be "completely clean". And because Juventus and AC Milan, who are at the top of the league standings, have been punished with points deductions, Inter Milan, which was originally ranked third, became the champion team of Serie A that year.

In this way, Inter Milan also became the only team in Serie A that has never been relegated.

That's why Inter fans often pull up the banner "We've never won Serie B" when they greet Juventus away from home. This is, of course, to humiliate the Juventus team.

However, Juventus fans have always been convinced that Inter Milan is not completely clean. And they are likely to be the one behind the scenes and the one who promoted the "phonegate" incident. Therefore, the relationship between Juventus and Inter Milan is not good, and it is probably a little bit worse than the sworn enemy.

After figuring out the profound meaning of that sentence and the story behind it, Lei Yi laughed until he fell, he slammed the shoulder of the Brazilian midfielder, and whispered in the other person's ear:

"Dominguez! I've always heard about it! The northerners of Italy are rich and reserved! Keep your image up when watching the game! So the atmosphere will be much milder than in Brazil!! But it turns out that they are all bad in their mouths! ”

That is, when Lei Yi finished saying this, a loud salute sounded in the field!!

It turned out that the captains of the two teams were already on the sidelines of the pitch, deciding in front of the referee who would defend which side of the pitch in the first half of the game, and the players of the two teams were also walking to their respective halves and arranging formations on the field.

The whistle blows, and the Turin derby of the second half of the Serie A season begins!!

Looking at the comings and goings on the court, the rapid change of the identities of the offensive and defensive sides, Lei Yi's eyes became very bright and bright!

He's not a coach of a team and he's not here to scout his opponents for the next game or a player he wants to bring in next season. At this moment, he just wanted to enjoy the feeling that this Serie A hot match brought him.

The blood is boiling, I am infected by the frenzied atmosphere of the scene, and my heart is deeply infected!!

He's certainly a professional footballer.

But he will be a boy who is first and foremost fascinated by the sport of football!

This ball game is so beautiful! And the rich derby atmosphere that permeates the scene will certainly leave a deep impression on people!

In the case of the Torino players, Raywing never saw the rough footwork of Atletico Madrid's leading striker Yolandal again.

And, perhaps because of the relationship that has always been scooped and compared, Thunder Wing will pay more attention to the figure wearing the garnet red No. 11 jersey at the beginning of the game! Thanks to Dominguez for a great ticket! Thunder Wing, who has excellent dynamic vision, can see every movement of the Torino team No. 11 on the field!!

As he felt before the game, Yue Yihuang is a very European player!!

His footwork is so delicate!! Although it is very different from the style of South American football played by Thunderwing, it does not affect the appreciation of a person who really understands the game.

Lei Yi's foot skills give people the illusion that football is part of his body, and Lei Yi himself believes that football is his best friend!! That's what makes him incredibly powerful! As long as he still loves each other, he will definitely not abandon his friends at any time!!

But in Yue Yihuang's body, Lei Yi felt something completely different.

Then the Buddha...... For this person, playing football is as natural as Buddha's breathing, Buddha's breathing never stops, and Buddha's breathing never leaves.

Hamid, a Sicilian who supported the Torino midfield, fired a quick shot into the opponent's goal with an impregnable defensive line within fifteen minutes of the game! The shot was beautiful, but it wasn't on target, and it flew just over the crossbar.

Yue Yihuang, who had run a little forward for some distance due to inertia, raised his hand and applauded the shot that his teammate had brought. Just such a simple action once again detonated the enthusiasm of the fans! They also applauded Hamid who failed to shoot like Yue Yihuang!!

When this qiΔ“ happens, you will realize it later......

This is a real world-class player that the home fans love!

Just the affection of the home fans for him, and his ability to dominate the team's home stadium, Lei Yi can understand that this man is different from the friends he knows now.

This reborn Serie A team is strong, very strong, very strong! So strong that even if Thunder Wing refreshed the scene of their battle between Porto and Torino in his mind, he would think that Porto would definitely lose.

Of course, Juventus is not weak, but Thunderwing is very clear that this team in black and white striped shirts is inferior to the garnet red team. That's the gap between the top teams and the first teams.

None of the garnet-red jerseys in this team are dispensable, and every single one of them is just that good.

Thinking of this, Long and Short Legs actually felt very excited. It's a wildness that exists in instinct!

Instinct told him that he wasn't interested in being part of this team.

Instinct told him that he wanted to beat this team, almost desperately!

Suddenly, the fans in the stadium began a strange rhythm, consisting of high-fives with both hands and feet hitting the ground. Each of them had a face full of excitement that was completely different from the previous personality, that is, the Buddha is a fanatical believer in the religious world!!

"They're ...... What's going on!? ”

This is the first time Raywing has come to Torino's home stadium, the Comunale Stadium. It was also the first time he saw a live version of the Turin derby. So he had no idea why the fans in the stadium were behaving like this all of a sudden. Until...... His friend Domingos gave an explanation.

Domingos: "It's Yue, Yue is going to take a free kick." The fans are looking forward to it. ”

Ray Wing: "His free-kick...... Awesome? ”

Seeing that Lei Yi didn't know anything about the best free-kick masters in European football in recent years, Domingos felt helplessly amused.

β€œleiy。” Dominguez called out his friend's name and said, "Listen Leiy, if you meet Torino in the future, as long as Yue is on the field, then don't give them any chance to take a free-kick." ”

Just when Lei Yi wanted to continue to ask something, the frenzy of the fans at the scene had reached its peak.

That's because...... Yue Yihuang, who had placed the ball in place, suddenly accelerated forward after taking a few steps back.

And then, it was a shocking kick.
