178 Tears of Turin

"It's good to run fast.....," Sun Xiang said, sitting on the car to the club, touching his fluttering little heart.

He booked the car yesterday and didn't drive his own car.

The driver of the car is an old Londoner, and his ancestors all lived in North London, which Sun Xiang also learned in the chat.

At first, neither the driver nor the passenger knew who the other person was, and in this era of private information not being revealed, he could only do it until he saw him.

This has led to some shows inviting some celebrities to serve as chauffeurs to observe the passengers' reactions, but most of these are just customers who don't know the truth.

This time it was different, when the chauffeur arrived at this villa area, he was shocked by the surrounding buildings, he had never come to this kind of place to pick up guests, because most people who live here will choose to travel by car, and it is not their turn to come at all. So it also makes him expect something from his customers.

The door opened, and when he saw Sun Xiang come out, he almost jumped up in the car.

"God, it must be God who gave me such luck yesterday for the sake of sending away a little girl for free! Mr. Sun, I'm a big fan of yours! ”

As soon as Sun Xiang got into the car, the driver began to express his heart.

"Mr. Sun, you have to come on for this competition, our family is watching you!"

"I've bought £1,000, and it's all on you. What a privilege, God! ”

"Mr. Sun, can you take a picture with me in a moment, and sign it. Oh yes, there's a jersey in the back of the car, so let's sign it on that. ”

Sun Xiang looked at the black uncle who was driving and talking non-stop, he wanted to interject but couldn't, sure enough, the black man has its own rap special effects.

When the car arrived at the destination, Sun Xiang and the uncle took a photo and signed autographs, and finally the uncle even hugged Sun Xiang's face and kissed him, and then let Sun Xiang go.

Sun Xiang smiled bitterly and touched his face, it seems that his Yanfu is really not shallow....

The capital of the Piedmont region of Italy and the third largest city in Italy, Turin. Just like Wolfsburg in Germany, it is one of the largest car producing cities in Europe, and it is also a historic old city that has preserved a large number of classical and baroque buildings, and is also the home of Juventus Football Club.

In this city, football, like their cars, is developing rapidly in the global arena.

Founded on 1 November 1897, Juventus Football Club is one of the oldest clubs in Italy and the team that has won the most Serie A titles, winning 34 cups.

They are also the team that has completed Grand Slams in their history (Champions League, Europa League and European Cup Winners' Cup). It is one of the most successful clubs in Europe and the world.

They are a traditional giant, but they have been away from the top of Europe for 23 years, and the last time they won the Champions League was in 1995-1996, when they beat defending champions Ajax on penalties 5-3 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, and that was their last final victory.

Later, in 2015, they fell in front of Barcelona in the final, in 2016, they were eliminated in the round of 16, and in 17 they also fell in the final, but the opponent changed from Barcelona to Real Madrid.

2018 was also a year without a harvest, so this year, they plan to regroup and continue to want to win the championship.

.......................................

On the afternoon of February 22, after a four-hour flight, Arsenal's special plane finally landed at Turin Airport.

As soon as he entered the city, Sun Xiang was attracted by the football atmosphere in the city.

On almost every street, there was a touch of blue, and at that time they were the symbol of the "Blue Coats". Last year's disappointment in the Apennines and the failure to catch the special car for the World Cup in Russia almost collapsed, but the fans who supported them became their best support, and it is also through the disdain of the fans that Italy has now regained its previous feeling.

The streets of Turin are full of Juventus and Torino jerseys, two clubs in the capital of the Piedmont region, each with a different history.

Compared to Juve's glory, the other team, Torino, is a bit bleak.

In fact, going back to history, Turin was founded earlier than Juventus. The first of them was founded in 1891 as Internacional Torino.

The Torino team had its own dynasty in the forties of the twentieth century. At that time, Torino dominated the Apennines, and contributed ten of the starting eleven to the Italian national team, and was regarded as the "Turin God Team".

This "team of gods" propelled Turin to its zenith, creating the "Age of Greater Turin".

However, all this was like a joke from heaven, and all good fortune turned into tears of grief with a loud bang on Mount Supega.

It was the darkest day in football history before the Munich tragedy.

On May 4, 1949, when the Turin "God Team" was returning home from a Latin Cup match against Benfica in Portugal, the plane crashed into the Supega Mountain near the airport, and the "Supega Air Disaster" shocked the world football world.

The crash wiped out the Torino team, which has not been able to recover since. What's more, Italy also lost its football elite, as the main supplier of the "Blue Jackets" at the time, their accident led to an early elimination of the Italian team in the 1950 World Cup. Since then, the Italian national team has entered a "dark era", the head coach has been changed when he loses, and he has lost when he has changed, and finally it has reached the point where he loses more and more.

At that time, Juventus gradually came to prominence, and the frustrated Torino was also beginning to actively rebuild, and the inseparable Torino fans left the famous phrase "The glory fades, only history remembers; The spirit lives on, and the bull is stubborn and alone. This is also the words that appear in the huge banner of the stadium TIFO.

As time passed, the gloom looming over the Bull receded, and they went on to win seven more trophies, including Serie B. He also won the Serie A title in 1976 by beating defending champion Juventus.

Now, they have sent a number of Italian internationals, including Belotti, to Italy, and the former "Torino God Team" is slowly awakening.

Perhaps in a few years' time, they will be back in Europe and playing alongside their city rivals, but for now, the only thing Torino can see in the Champions League is Juventus.

Back in the Valle district of Turin, Italy, they are about to play their first Champions League game of the year in a full-seat stadium built exclusively for football.

The Juventus Arena in Italy, now known as the Allianz Arena, is a stadium built specifically for football, a brand new stadium picked up on the site of the original Estadio del Alp. Previously, Juventus and Torino shared a stadium.

Here, Juventus have won a total of seven trophies, and all the Serie A trophies from the beginning of their use to the present.

It was at Juventus' blessed stadium that the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 began.
