The players of the two teams stood in the players' tunnel, knowing each other and greeting each other warmly, no matter how Juventus fans disliked Hugo and thought that Hugo was the black hand behind it, the players did not have such a confrontational mood, and the senior management of the two teams did not say that they were nervous.

Toni and Piero were captains, and they were talking and laughing and joking at the front, and it was at this time that Ranieri appeared.

Just like at Juventus' home stadium, Ranieri is on a familiar path, after all, less than a year after leaving here, Trapani's players have hugged him, the players have had opinions before, but with the championship everything will disappear, Ranieri is still a hero in the hearts of the players, even Toni, who has not received enough attention from Ranieri, also sent Ranieri a sincere hug.

Ranieri quickly walked out of the players' tunnel after meeting with his old friends, and when he stepped onto the green grass of the pitch, his ears rang with thunderous applause. He was warmly welcomed by the Trapani fans.

"Ho-ho, look! How popular is he, the tinkerer?! "Welcome home, Claudio!" Hugo was attracted by the cheers of the fans, and saw Ranieri thank the fans, waving and couldn't help but say with gusto.

"Ha, you're jealous!" Julia hugged her son and happily teased Hugo.

"Yes, he is indeed jealous!" Sylvia, who was sitting next to her, also laughed at Hugo.

"Do I have it?! I didn't! Hugo argued.

"It won't be too difficult to admit!" Lu Fan said, and Morek and the others also laughed.

"Well, well, I'll admit it, I'm jealous! The fans are ungrateful things who have forgotten who led the team to success! "Welcome home, Claudio!" My God! I haven't even been courteous to them! Hugo scolded hatefully.

"It's okay, we remember you!" Giorgio made a joke about Hugo, as Hugo didn't really seem angry.

A group of people ridiculed Hugo a few words, and Hugo was defeated and said: "You are right, I should not be jealous of him!" ”

......

Ranieri's courtesy, the harmony between the players of both sides before the game, will not reduce the intensity of this game, because everyone wants to take three points, Trapani's desire is more urgent, only three points can bite Inter Milan, Juventus is actually not so urgent, they know very well that the league is at the end of the second stage, they want to win the championship, there is a stack of teams in front of them do not agree, and the chasers behind are far away.

Referee Rizzoli blew the whistle for the start of the game, Juventus just kicked off, there was nothing to say, Trapani immediately began to press, Juventus had to kick the ball off.

Fighting for a header up front must have been a tough one for Juventus, with Palladino and Piero not good at it, and they really didn't have the ability to fight hard, and Juventus quickly handed over the ball.

Ranieri still knows this game very well, the strength is not as good as the opponent, then defend, the midfield is recycled, and he quickly deploys in his own half, and does not intend to give Trapani a chance.

Trapani was in control for two minutes and was denied a chance to break through when Maggio's inaccurate cross hastily denied Trapani's first attack.

Juventus does not mainly rely on counterattacks in the attack, Piero's two strikers retreat very deeply, bearing the heavy responsibility of organization, the iron man Nedved and Camoranesi on the side are the breakthrough players, Zanetti and Sissoko's main role is to intercept, they will not easily step forward, because the speed of the two wingers of Trapani is relatively fast, and the two Juventus fullbacks Grigera and Molinaro will not often press, so the attack actually relies on the play of several veterans.

Claudio Ranieri's side lacked the pace of counter-attacking, and there was always a pause after Piero got the ball, which was a deliberate kind of pause, and they tried to slow down the tempo and organize the attack in a step-by-step manner.

In fact, this tactic has not changed much over the years, the difference is that the strength of the two fullbacks has dropped a lot compared with before, and the assists are very likely to not go back, so they are relatively slow to press.

Judging from the opening ten minutes, it is clear that Sissoko and Zanetti's defensive ability is good, but the disadvantage of the two of them is the poor ability to play the ball.

Piero also didn't get much of a chance on the ball, while Palladino, who was used as a forward centre-forward, was also helpless under Trapani's two-centre-back system, and fighting for headers was not his strong suit.

……

Messi has been looking for fighters, he is the target of Juventus' key defense, at the age of 21, he won the European Footballer of the Year, the World Footballer of the Year two awards, this is a very high honor, but at the same time people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and now he has become a thorn in the side of various teams, and he has suffered more closely than before.

However, it is not easy to keep an eye on him, and his style of play is also changing, he used to rely on his own breakthrough and speed to attack directly, and now he has learned to pass, and Messi is more about passing on the training field.

As he grows more experienced, he is now more difficult to mark, and the same is true for Juventus today, who have focused on him, and the faster Molinaro is completely man-to-man, but it still allowed Messi to create a killing chance in the 6th minute, only Toney's sweeping shot was cleared by Berardi.

After that, Messi slowed down the pace and did not try to break through again, but mainly cooperated, the effect was not very good, Juventus's fence was very tight, there were two fouls, the goal was too tight, Beckham's full moon scimitar failed to score, of course, it was a wake-up call for Juventus.

The game has become a half-time offensive and defensive battle, Juventus counterattack is not strong, Trapani's personal breakthrough and crosses are exhausted, and Juventus is still helpless, I have to say that Trapani has been mixed for most of the season, Bielsa's insistence on the rotation policy has had a good effect, Trapani's integrity is very good, and the players' ability to fill in the position, run, pass and receive the ball is very ornamental.

Juventus was much worse than in the first leg, Trapani's error rate in the first leg was relatively high, the passing and receiving were not pure, and the running position was not tacit enough, but now Bielsa has solved these problems, and the players seem to have played under him, Juventus's possession rate is terrible, and the attack is not impressive.

But unknowingly at the end of the half, Trapani still failed to break through the door of Juventus, in the first half Trapani completed 11 shots, only 3 shots hit the goal frame, Juventus's two central defenders, Trapani's veteran Lerotalje and Juventus' rookie defender Chiellini played very well, blocking Trapani's shots several times.

The main attacker Trapani is already a little weak, and it will inevitably cause a lot of psychological pressure on the players if he can't attack for a long time, and Tony can't help but shake his head when he gets off the field, unlucky.

Juventus manager Ranieri is now a little lucky, and also a little admires Bielsa, Bielsa is an attacking maniac, but he is more holistic than Zeman, Trapani did not give Juventus any chance on the defensive end, and the restrictions on Juventus' passing space are very in place, which is difficult to do.

Bielsa doesn't think so, can't score can't simply come down to luck, he will sigh at the defensive organization of the Italian team, Bielsa wants to play the team most is actually Milan Giants, Roma, Udinese and the like, they will not stick to it because of their own strength or style, Bielsa's team is easy to play, and Juventus is in Bielsa's eyes, the first half is also excellent, because their defense is very good.

The real test was in the second half!
