Chapter 4: The Defending Champions' Season Starter (Part I)

After Chen Fei played the two future defensive experts in a one-on-one way, the boys of the all-youth team were impressed by Chen Fei. The suspicion and disdain of the original www.biquge.info of pen & fun & pavilion disappeared, and was replaced by the green admiration of the young people who were no less than the young people of later generations when they saw Professor Du and Lee Min Ho Oba. Chen Fei was very uncomfortable with this kind of look, but he knew that his strength had been recognized by the children, and he could calmly command them.

The pre-season training was very bland, and the content was too old-fashioned even for Chen Fei, who came from later generations. To this end, Chen Fei suggested to Prandelli that he join the interesting football games in later training, including net football, and Prandelli adopted Chen Fei's suggestion and gave Chen Fei full authority to implement. Of course, Chen Fei also lived up to expectations and had a lot of fun with the children. Prandelli, who watched all this from the sidelines, was surprised by Chen Fei's creativity in designing the event, and on the other hand, he was happy that the players enjoyed such an event.

In such a relaxed environment, the whole team ushered in the first game of the 1993-1994 season after more than 30 days of rearmament. Home to a strong opponent in the youth team: Juventus. Chen Fei, who came from later generations, remembered that this season's youth team champion is this Juventus, and the most threatening team is the one who transferred from Padua last season, the future "Prince of Bianconeri" and the meritorious captain: Alejandro? Bender? Piero (Alessandro DelPiero)!

Thinking of fighting the future "Prince Zebra", Chen Fei tossed and turned excitedly, unable to calm down for a long time, and kept muttering in his heart: "What do I have to say when I see Piero?" Do you want to sign it? No, Piero is still a hairy kid and I'm the coach; Say I like you a lot? Will it be thought by the other party that it is digging the foot of the wall and causing Juventus to be dissatisfied? Don't say anything? It's a shame to miss out on such an opportunity。。。。。。 "I kept playing drums and clashes in my heart, and Chen Fei stayed like this, staying。。。。。。 In the end, Chen Fei finally thought of a solution: talk to head coach Prandelli and ask him to pay attention to Piero. The best respect for your opponent is to try to beat him on fair terms.

The day before the game, Chen Fei took the initiative to find Prandelli, and as soon as he arrived at Prandelli's office, Chen Fei spoke directly: "Cesar, this Juventus team is not easy to deal with, especially the young man named Piero on the other side, who is the one who came from Padua, is very, very threatening." Prandelli said: "Oh, that Piero, I know, but I don't think he's a threat, you know, we played him once last season, and we didn't think he had any special qualities!" Chen Fei heard Prandley so disapproving, and said hurriedly: "But the progress of young people is faster than we expected, if you don't pay attention to him, we will be in danger!" ”

"Why do you say that about him? You know what Padua's record was last season, so why should I value him? ”

"Then why do you think the two old foxes, Moggie and Giraoudo, had to buy him? Moji's eye is not ordinary and vicious, you must be careful! ”

"Well, if you insist on saying that, is there anything you can do to restrain him?"

Chen Fei thought carefully about the characteristics of Piero at the peak of his later life, and said: "This kid's ability on his feet is particularly balanced, but the speed level is not very prominent, don't give him space to shoot long in front of him, don't let him run calmly, let a defender stick to him like chewing gum, the defender who guards against him must be careful, don't be confused by the small movements of his feet, he will be in danger if he passes." Suddenly, a detail appeared in Chen Fei's mind, that is, in the 2000 European Cup final, Piero missed two single knives: "Oh yes, if he is single-handed, when the goalkeeper pounces on the single-knife, you have to use various words and actions to interfere with him, and the interfered Piero will lose the crosshairs of the shot, and his psychological quality needs to be improved." ”

"Okay, I see, I'll think about it."

Prandelli's words made Chen Fei suddenly feel that something was wrong. Chen Fei, who came from later generations, naturally knew very well the significance of Piero's every move, and also knew very well that this Juventus youth army won the championship of the Primavera youth team league in the 1993-1994 season under the leadership of Piero. Of course, the current Chen Feiren is soft-spoken, and it is already his limit to be able to do this.

A few days later, Chen Fei took his youth team and started the first game of the new season - home against strong rival Juventus.

Prandelli's line-up was still not too unexpected. The goalkeeper is Ambrosio, the third goalkeeper in the first team (the youth team bears the responsibility of maintaining the form for the first-team alternates), and in the backline from right to left, Paul? Forio, Zanchi, Pavan, C Zenoni; Midfielders D Zenoni, Tacinati, Mofeo, Mutarelli; Forward Rossini, Locatelli.

The Atalanta youth team still retains most of the team that won last season, which makes Prandley look quite tough, so he has set up such an offensive formation. Prandelli's idea is to get off to a good start at home and take out Juventus. Only, will the Bianconeri make Prandley so good?

At least, there is one person who will not agree, he is the young player who has just joined Juventus, Alessandro? Bender? Del piero. When Piero joined the giant Juventus from Padua, he set his ambition to break through the world of the giants, so Piero, who wore the black and white shirt for the first time, seemed full of confidence. He was all too familiar with the weaknesses of the Atalanta defence on the other side and decided to prove his worth with his goals.

It was in this atmosphere that the game began. Youth team games don't get as much attention as senior team games, so there were only 180 fans in the scene, and of course some people in suits and leather shoes, needless to say, most of them were scouts from various clubs. In the first 20 minutes of the game, both sides were still testing their opponents, and both sides were still playing cautiously, and the tradition of Italian football is that the three lines are evenly spaced and played together. As a result, the first twenty minutes of the game were uneventful, and even the referee's whistle was very sparse. The two sides are in a calm and undisturbed state. Although Rossini hit the crossbar with a header from a corner in the 18th minute, the first 20 minutes of the game were lackluster to highlight beyond this small shot.

Such a game made Chen Fei mutter: Why hasn't Piero played yet? What the hell was he thinking? Prandelli was also thinking: Is Chen too worried, I don't think this Piero is nothing? As a result, what happened next left Prandley dumbfounded:

In the 24th minute, Piero received a pass from a teammate two steps before the center circle, and at this time, Mofeo, who was defending him, slowly approached Piero. When Piero saw Mofeo come forward to defend him, he shook his ankle and made a gesture to pass the ball to the right. Mofeo didn't know what to do, and went to block Piero's pass, but it was too late, and Piero pushed the ball with the right instep to his left, and suddenly accelerated, and came to the ball with a personal pass. By the time Morfeo reacted, Piero was already three steps away from him! Finding that Mofeo had been passed, defender Zanchi met him head-on. Seeing Zanchi pounce, Piero picked up his thighs and made a stance of going to shoot directly from a distance. Zanci hurriedly stretched out his leg to try to block Piero's long-range shot, but then Piero suddenly retracted his foot and launched a low flat ball, and this ball was impartial, just in the direction of the 16-year-old Rocchi, who was inserted at high speed from the right side and successfully countered offside! Rocchi received a direct plug from Piero, did not adjust, and directly picked up his right foot and shot a blast! The ball is like an arrow from the string, straight to the top left corner of the goal! Goalkeeper Ambrosio jumped to his feet and touched the ball with his fingertips, which changed direction and bounced off the crossbar and flew off.

Although Ambrosio's wonderful save kept the goal intact, the hero who threatened the ball the most just now was undoubtedly Piero who passed a wonderful ball and almost assisted the goal! Chen Fei and Prandelli in the coach's seat gasped when they saw this scene. This Piero is indeed extraordinary. That goal just now shows Piero's small skills and big picture, and he can accurately judge the situation on the field and make the most reasonable decisions. However, at this time, Prandelli still had a hint of luck, and only told Mofeo to try to judge his opponent's true intentions. However, eight minutes later, Prandelli's only chance was shattered.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Piero still got the ball in almost the same position, and because Mofeo had not returned to the front of the penalty before he could get back into place, this time he faced the opponent Taccinati. Facing the more experienced Taccinati defensively, Piero did not dare to take it lightly, and he constantly tried to confuse Taccinati with small movements at his feet. And Tacinati had received Chen Fei's mention before, and remembered what Chen Fei said, finding the knot of the rope, so he was also quite cautious, and did not quickly force Piero, nor was he too confused by Piero's small movements. At this point, Piero played the same trick eight minutes earlier. Tacinati thought it was another fake pass, but this time Piero turned into a real pass, and the ball flew towards Rocchi like a missile, and the moment the ball left Piero's feet, Piero suddenly accelerated, but ran a comma trajectory. The moment Rocchi received the ball, he had already seen Piero's run, so he directly kicked it straight, and just like that, Piero and Rocchi completed a two-by-one! However, this is far from the end.

Piero, who received Rocchi's straight stop, found that goalkeeper Ambrosio was standing in front of him and shot directly! As a result, the ball flew almost straight into the sky. Just when Ambrosio thought that the ball was going to be high above the crossbar like this, the ball was actually like a demon, almost falling in a free fall, and flew straight towards the goal! Ambrosio couldn't reach the whip and could only watch the ball stop in the net in front of him (the goalkeeper was chasing back, so he was facing the goal). 0:1, Piero's super fallen ball lob shot broke through the door of the defending champion and gave Juventus the lead.

fell behind in the first half, but was still broken through by Piero, who had been proposed by Chen Fei before the game, and Prandelli's face became more and more ugly, and even turned into a pig's liver color. Piero's good ball quality, broad vision, and accurate judgment are all vividly reflected in the goal just now. At this time, Chen Fei's heart has regarded Piero as an extremely threatening strong enemy, and in the future against the Bianconeri, Chen Fei must deploy for the Bianconeri in every game, which once activated a famous striker who performed very poorly in Juventus in history, of course, this is a later story.

And just like that, after 45 minutes, Piero's lob shot put the defending champions 1-0 down at home. In the players' tunnel, Prandley, Chen Fei and Atalanta all looked solemn, and they no longer saw half of the relaxed look before the game. The defending champions were locked in a tough battle in the first game of the new season. In the second half, where should the defending champions, who have no way out, go from here。。。。。
