Chapter 0784, the most popular team
Juventus' bus slowly drove into the city of Milan in the direction of the San Siro Stadium.
Along the way, the Juventus coach saw countless AC Milan fans through the car window, wearing red and black striped shirts, excitedly walking in the direction of San Siro, singing and dancing along the way, excited.
Yun Sheng, who was sitting in the front, and Speed were chatting about the game, Yu Dabao was in the middle of the bus, and several players sitting in the back row were chatting.
Today, Piero and Zheng Zhi are sitting together, one of these two is the captain of Juventus and the other is the captain of Huaguo, and it is not against the peace to sit together.
"What are they laughing at?"
"I guess I'm full of confidence in the game, and I'm looking forward to the second place in the league that I'm about to get there."
"Haha, captain, you're more confident."
"Looking at the fans outside, they're almost as big as the Juventus fans."
Piero is full of self-confidence, even if he thinks that AC Milan has many fans, he does not forget to blow his favorite Juventus.
How many Juventus fans are there in Italy?
Needless to say, Juventus has the widest audience in Italy, and the Italian media even called Juventus "the first politician in football".
According to a fan survey conducted by the Serie A professional league in 2010, there are 25.5 million football fans in Italy, of which 7 million are Juventus fans (including die-hard fans and those who have a good impression of Juventus), accounting for 29% of the total.
Inter Milan fans make up 18 per cent and AC Milan 17.9 per cent β the two Milans are very close, and both are more than 10 percentage points behind Juventus.
After that, Naples 10.4% and Rome 8.5%.
They are the top 5 clubs with the most fans in Serie A.
As the captain of one of Italy's most popular football clubs, Piero certainly has something to be proud of.
"Man, do you have a lot of Serie A fans in your country?"
"That's a lot, a lot. Because our national television has been broadcasting Serie A for a long time, it has cultivated a large number of Serie A fans. By the way, what I told you last time, don't forget, I went back to China during the winter break, and you helped me prepare dozens of signed photos, and then get a few signed jerseys or something, and I took them back to give gifts to my friends. β
"Haha, no problem, little meaning! But then again, are Juventus also the most popular Serie A team in your country? β
Looking at Piero's expectant eyes, Zheng Zhi knew what he wanted to hear, but Zheng Zhi's words still disappointed him.
"As far as I know, it doesn't seem to be."
"What? Are there any more popular Serie A teams in China than Juventus? β
"Yes."
"Which team is it?"
"AC Milan."
"No, why them?" Piero couldn't believe it.
Zheng Zhi explained: "The period during the domestic broadcast of Serie A was the peak of the Dutch Three Musketeers. After that, AC Milan also had many stars, Kaka, Sheva, Maldini, Nesta, ...... Many stars have countless fans in China, so they are very popular in China. β
Piero still didn't understand: "But Juve also has a lot of superstars, not inferior to AC Milan, and we have more Serie A titles than them." β
Guti, who was in the front row, said quietly: "Maybe it's because AC Milan has a lot of Champions Leagues." β
Buffon covered his face: "Please don't say ......"
Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, the atmosphere was still very good, and Yunsheng was also happy to see this situation, after all, for the team, the recent intensive schedule and continuous battles have put too much pressure on them, and it is not easy for the players to have such a relaxed mentality.
Juve's bus itinerary was calculated accurately, and about an hour before the kick-off, the bus pulled into the stadium outside the San Siro stadium.
The Juventus coach got out of the car and walked into the San Siro stadium along the quarantine area marked by the security guards.
Zheng Zhi had just gotten out of the car, when he suddenly heard a scolding and scolded him: "What's the situation?" Do our two teams have such a grudge? The guys looked like they were going to rush over and hit someone. β
Buffon, who was behind him, explained: "Those who are definitely Inter fans, here are talking nonsense, don't pay attention to them. β
Zheng Zhi: "Oh. β
Gianluigi Buffon: "By the way, when you return home, don't forget to tell the Chinese how unfriendly AC Milan and Inter Milan fans are, and you tell them that it's still too late to turn fans of Juventus." β
Zheng Zhi: "...... line"
Gianluigi Buffon: "I have to tell them that you can't just look at the number of Champions League games to determine whether a team is good or bad. β
Zheng Zhi: "Good ......"
Guti interjected: "I think what you said is a bit one-sided, the number of Champions League is still meaningful." β
Gianluigi Buffon: "Shut up!" Don't talk from now on! β
After tidying up in the dressing room, the Juventus players ran out of the tunnel and onto the pitch.
Yun Sheng walked last with Speed and Cannavaro and slowly entered the court.
Walking out of the player's tunnel, Yun Sheng was immediately attracted by this large expanse.
This is the San Siro Stadium!
In the hearts of many Chinese people, the San Siro Stadium is a temple in their hearts.
Because Huaguo Sports Channel 5 broadcast Serie A earlier, there are many fans in Huaguo Serie A, and AC Milan fans are more. For AC Milan fans, the San Siro Stadium is a temple to their hearts.
With a history of almost 100 years, the stadium is part of the Municipality of Milan and is a UEFA five-star stadium with a capacity of 80,018 people.
Located just six kilometres from the centre of Milan, it is in a prime location.
In Italian football, many teams share the same stadium, which is different from other leagues in the five major leagues, Manchester United has Old Trafford, Real Madrid has the Bernabeu, Barcelona has the Camp Nou, Bayern Munich Allianz Stadium and so on, all of these stadiums have extraordinary influence and uniqueness.
And many of Italy's giants are shared with their city rivals.
For example, the Turin Olympic Stadium shared by Juventus and Torino, the Roman Olympic Stadium shared by Roma and Lazio, and the Ferraris Stadium shared by Genoa and Sampdoria, the sharing of the two teams is a special culture of Serie A teams.
And this San Siro stadium is a special one.
Because today's opponent is AC Milan, Juventus is visiting the San Siro Stadium; If their opponent today is Inter Milan, then this stadium will become Meazza Stadium.
A stadium has two names, and this is the culture of Milan.
Today, Yunsheng stood on the side of the stadium, looking at this top stadium in Europe, and his heart was full of emotion.
In my previous life, I never dreamed that one day I would be able to lead the team to this stadium to compete in Serie A and become an opponent of AC Milan.
This feeling is really exciting.
Looking at the fan stands, the stadium was already full of most people at this time, and some fans were entering the stadium one after another.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the tunnel behind him......
