Volume 1 Chapter 234 The Spell of the Alp Stadium
Turin is a city of industry and a city of football, and the two great names are inextricably linked by Juventus and Fiat Cars.
Before Fiat owner Agnelli accepted Juventus, Juventus was just an unknown small role in Italian football, and after the Agnelli family took over, Juventus gradually became the hegemon of Italian football, the top giants of world football, and the winner of three major cups.
Although the capacity is not too small, more than 60,000 people are OK, but the visual effect is poor, the surrounding supporting facilities can not keep up, the atmosphere is poor, and the identity of the Juventus giants is not commensurate at all.
Even so, the Stadio Alp still scares the Serie A powers, with Inter Milan losing eight of Genoa's slaughter here, and Juventus' opponents Fiorentina not winning here in 15 years.
After a lapse of three years, Florence once again set foot in this land of sadness and fear.
Three years ago, Fiorentina lost 2-1 here, and in the same year, Fiorentina were relegated to the third league.
Three years later, Fiorentina was reborn and promoted to Serie A, at this time, the only player who had fought at the Alps three years ago was Di Livio, and most of Juventus' main players were there, but they were only three years older.
But as long as the team's name remains, glory and shame will never fade.
The stands are full, and this is the first time this season that Juventus' home stadium has been full, even in the last three years, Juventus have rarely been full at home, except against Milan and Roma, and at other times, Juventus has not even been able to reach the likes of Fiorentina and Palermo in Serie B.
This kind of attendance made the Juventus people very excited and excited, and the stands were constantly singing and applauding, and the Juventus players who had just come out of the dressing room also frequently turned back to the stands to applaud and thank them.
"The player played"
The on-site narrator said in an extremely passionate tone.
"There are already 780 UU fans in the stadium and more fans are entering, and the tickets have been sold out in the first two days after the sale. Apart from the dialogue between the traditional top three, this is the first time that the Alp Stadium has been full.
We followed the camera, Mr. Ranieri, Mr. de la Valle, Manager Moggie, Manager Lu Casei, League Vice President Carraro, these heavyweights all came to the scene, uh, look over there, Baggio also came to the scene, the fans are calling his name, oh, Chen Yu's agent Mr. Zhang has also arrived, there are really a lot of Chinese fans......
Everyone understands what kind of battle this is, and they all understand what level of battle it is, Fiorentina lead the goose, they haven't lost yet, we are now in second place, only one point less than the Purple Lily, this is a battle for the top spot, and now all the Juventians are waiting for it, hoping that their idol can defeat the invading enemy in this heroic land and regain the top spot that belongs to the Juventus.
Now we take a look at the starting line-up for both sides, Buffon Pesoto, Thuram, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Camoranesi, Emerson, Blasi, Nedved Ibrahimovic, Piero, it's a 44 formation, Capello basically kept the starting lineup that lost to Reggina last weekend, only replacing Salayeta with Piero, and it looks like Capello coach is confident in his line-up and players.
Fiorentina's starting lineup is like this, goalkeeper Lupatelli, four defenders: Chiellini, Ujfarucci, Dainelli, Maggio, four midfielders: Jorgensen, Maresca, Obodo, De Ricari, double forwards: Chen Yu and Mikoli, the same 44 formation, this lineup and the lineup that beat Inter Milan have not changed at all, obviously Mondonico hopes that this lineup can also restrain Juventus, but Capello is not a rookie Mancini, The master tactician definitely studied Fiorentina's line-up and style of play in the last game, and we look at how Fiorentina have changed in their style of play and see how Capello has dealt with the lineup that beat Inter Milan......"
This is the first time Chen Yu came to the Alp Stadium, this is also the first time Chen Yu came to the home of the giants, although Chen Yu came to adapt to the venue in the morning, but there were no fans at that time, just a field, and at this time, in the face of the opponent fans roared like a tsunami of applause and shouts, as well as the boos and scolding of Florence, it turned out that those victories and defeats that had nothing to do with Chen Yu poured into Chen Yu's body like a tide, and in an instant, Chen Yu felt that this stadium was alive, as if he had a soul, It is hostile and pressure-on to the ingress.
Chen Yu felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was greater, and he felt that he had to help the team beat Juventus and clean up the fifteen-year winless history here, although it was very difficult, but after beating Inter Milan, Chen Yu and his teammates obviously had a lot of confidence and did not think that they could not win here.
Under the leadership of referee Bergamo, the players of both sides took a group photo, and then the captains of both sides exchanged team flags and badges and tossed coins to pick sides.
Chen Yu and Prince Piero of the Zebra met for the first time, but the two sides had already heard of each other, so they must take a good look at each other this time.
Italy is rich in beautiful men, and the Italian national team is a famous "model" team, and Piero is clearly the best of them, and some of his fans once described his appearance in this language: his angelic face is filled with a soft light, which has shone on the Alp Stadium for ten years and will shine forever.
Although Chen Yu can't be said to be a beautiful man, he will definitely not be on the same page as ugly, but compared with this zebra prince, Chen Yu is still a little ashamed, feeling that he has been compared to everyone else except for being a little taller.
Piero is also looking at this goal maniac, Piero has debuted for more than ten years, and he has seen more geniuses, but the one in front of him is the most inconspicuous, not tall or short, not handsome or ugly, introverted and low-key temperament, no matter how he looks like a genius, but as a striker, Piero knows how difficult it is to score so many goals in Chen Yu, Piero believes that this man must be good at hiding himself.
The exchange of team flags and team emblems are stylized, but when the two sides shook hands and said goodbye, everyone used a little strength with each other, the shorter Piero obviously suffered a little loss, and the bones pinched by Chen Yu seemed to be misplaced, but this also made Piero understand that the Chinese striker did not look so strong, but he did not suffer at all in terms of strength.
Picking the side back, Chen Yu called his teammates together, "Everyone hug, shout, work hard, today we are going to break the curse of not winning at the Alp Stadium." “
Everyone hugged each other and shouted, "Fiorentina will win", Chen Yu called Maresca, Chiellini, Micoli, the three of you to the side, "You are revisiting the old place, facing the old club, you must work harder than others to prove to these people, you are completely worthy of Juventus, they have no eyes." ”
Maresca, Chiellini, Mikoli three people are definitely different from their other eight teammates, this stadium has their dreams and hopes, their glory and joy, but also pain and despair, come to this stadium again, they want to prove their worth more than others, under the encouragement of Chen Yu, the three of them clenched their fists and said to Chen Yu: "Today we will definitely take out twelve points of energy." “
Chen Yu smiled: "Okay." Together, we cheered on and overturned the old woman on the doorstep. “
After Chen Yu finished speaking, he strode towards the middle circle, and Mikoli followed closely behind him, like a warrior on the battlefield.
Referee Bergamo looked at his watch, 30 points, and immediately blew the whistle for the start of the game.
Fiorentina kicked off first, with Chen Yu and Mikoli driving the ball out of the centre circle and then cutting forward quickly.
The fans in the stands were still noisy, talking and chatting to find food and toilets, but after the whistle sounded, the stands immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on the field.
Juventus has three midfielders such as Camoranesi, Emerson, and Nedved, and their creativity may be average, but their running and interception ability is absolutely superb.
After Fiorentina's ball was passed back to the backfield, it was ready to slowly move forward in three lines at the same time to form a steady stream of attack, rather than relying on the forward line to attack, but it was easy to pass back, but it was difficult to hit it, and it was difficult for Fiorentina players to pass through the midfield under the interception of Juventus.
When the ball was passed back and forth at the feet of goalkeeper Lupatelli, the bee-like hard-working Trezeguet ran over, and Lupatelli had no point to pass and could only kick the ball away.
Lupatelli didn't have any goal with this kick, just to move forward, and his striker was better to touch, and if he couldn't touch it, he cleared the ball.
But such a blind ball was grabbed by Chen Yu.
Chen Yu is bound to Norwegian striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Argentine striker Saviola today, these two mid-level stars have both speed, flexibility and point-grabbing awareness, especially Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the ability to seize opportunities is extremely strong, Chen Yu is considering that Capello's team's defense is too good, and he must have few opportunities, so he binds Solskjaer's awareness in order to seize the few opportunities.
Lupatelli's ball was cleared over, Chen Yu accurately judged the landing point of the ball in the air, and Chen Yu competed for the landing point with Cannavaro, Cannavaro can play the center back with a height of 1.73 meters, and the grabbing point and bounce must be excellent, but he can only eat deflated when he meets Chen Yu, Chen Yu's bounce and height are stronger than Cannavaro, he shook off Blassi, ate Cannavaro in the air, and ferried the ball to Mikcoli.
Fiorentina's midfielder without the ball quickly pressed up, Maresca from the left, Jorgensen from the right, and Obodo in the middle also quickly stepped forward, forming a multi-point response to Mikoli and pressing it in an all-round way.
