Chapter 1071 Juventus
After the game against Manchester City, Liverpool ushered in the first round of the Champions League knockout round.

Their opponent is Juventus from Italy.

The home and away order of the Champions League knockout rounds is not determined by a draw, at least not in the first quarter-finals.

The group first goes away and then hosts. This schedule is more favorable.

This is why so many teams are struggling to win a group first.

If the schedule is favorable and the opponents are not very strong, they can go further in the Champions League knockout rounds.Teams that have the strength to win the championship go for the championship, and those that are not capable also want to win a few more games and get more bonuses.

Liverpool is first in the group and Juventus is second in the group, so this time Liverpool is playing away first and playing at home.

Even if they have any mistakes in the away game, they can find a way back home.If they played home games first, it would be tantamount to pushing themselves to the top.In the first game, we must strive to win, not only to win, but also to win as much as possible to get more goal difference advantage, so as not to let the opponent come back after returning to their home court.

The team that played the away game first was much more relaxed.Even if you accidentally lose in the away game, as long as you don't lose too much, you still have a chance to return home.

After the match against Manchester City, with the honor of just setting a new record, Chen Yingxiong followed the team and set foot on the plane to Turin.

Start his Champions League knockout tour.

Before this game, the Italian media paid close attention to and commented on Chen Yingxiong.

The Italian media knows how powerful Chen Yingxiong is.When he was still playing in Naples, he had already let the media know this with practical actions.

So no one dares to underestimate Chen Yingxiong, even though he has been away from the highest stage of European football for two years.

In addition, he just broke the record of consecutive goals scored by Gerd Muller in the last league game, and he is in the limelight.If anyone underestimates him at this time, it really cannot be explained by "IQ problem".

So during this period of time, the Italian media has been repeatedly saying that Chen Yingxiong will be the Liverpool player that Juventus needs to pay attention to most.Even if the others are not closed, Chen Yingxiong must be frozen.Because the role of Chen Yingxiong is not just as simple as scoring goals. He relies on himself to keep scoring goals. Now he has become a kind of spiritual totem for Liverpool. As long as he scores goals, Liverpool players feel that everything is normal and they will win the match. The game is full of confidence, no matter how strong the opponent is in that game.

Chen Yingxiong has dared to the point where his performance is a barometer of Liverpool's performance.

If he performs well, the spirit totem is normal, and the whole team is normal.If he doesn't perform well, the spiritual totem is in danger of collapsing, so naturally everyone in Liverpool is in danger under this situation, how can they still have the mind to play well?

Juventus coach Conte thinks that what the media likes and is best at is talking nonsense, which is similar to politicians.

I also know that Chen Yingxiong is dangerous and the most terrifying player in Liverpool.But the question is how to deal with him!

You guys are telling the truth!
On this worldwide problem, no one person has given a worthwhile answer.

Conte still has to figure it out on his own.

Now Conte realizes how excited Chen Yingxiong was when he was still in Serie A.Although Chen Yingxiong was strong at that time, he had many weaknesses that could be exploited.

But now Chen Yingxiong is more and more developing towards a super invincible all-around center.

Finding out his weaknesses and exploiting them... is difficult!

When Liverpool landed at the airport in Turin, in addition to the Liverpool fans who came to Turin to pick up the plane in advance, there were also some "mystery guests".

Dressed in sky blue, they stood out against a crowd of Liverpool fans in red.

In England, confrontation between red and blue is an eternal theme.Basically, the relationship between the red team and the blue team is not very good.Like Liverpool and Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton, Manchester United and Manchester City...

However, these Liverpool fans and the group of fans wearing the sky blue jerseys are at peace, and some even have a good chat.

These people are not Everton or Manchester City fans, they are fans in Italy.

They are from Naples, a city in southern Italy.

That's right, they are all Naples fans.

This time, I came here to cheer for Chen Yingxiong.

Naples and Juventus are feuds. If Liverpool wants to fight Juventus, Chen Yingxiong is tantamount to avenging Naples-this season, Naples failed to qualify for the Champions League because at the end of last season, Juventus gave him squeezed down.This deepened the hatred of Juventus among Naples fans.

In their view, even if Chen Yingxiong is no longer a Naples player, as long as he is playing against Juventus, they should cheer for him.

What's more, after the lottery results came out, Chen Yingxiong said: "I haven't forgotten the years I played for Naples."

This sentence made many Naples fans cheer.

Because they all know that Chen Yingxiong has not forgotten his roots, he is well aware of the hatred between Naples and Juventus.Even if he represents Liverpool, he will never show mercy when playing against Juventus!
These people came to support Chen Yingxiong because of this.

They even bought tickets to support Chen Yingxiong not only at the airport, but also at the scene.

As soon as Chen Yingxiong came out, he saw the sky blue from the big red.

He is not surprised at all, he is well aware of the hatred between Naples and Juventus, so he came to Italy to play against Juventus, and Naples fans will definitely come to support him.

Because Zeng Jin played for Naples, Chen Yingxiong is not interested in Juventus.

Avenging Naples, Chen Yingxiong didn't mind doing it at all.

It's just a favor.

It's about winning anyway.

Conte does not allow the players to fight with Chen Yingxiong.Now everyone knows that there are very few people who can take advantage of Chen Yingxiong and Dazuihang, or win in the end.Not only in terms of words, no one can take advantage of it, even in the final result of the game, few people can win.

Instead of arousing the other party's anger with a war of words, why not act in a low-key manner, maybe it can paralyze the other party?

If you insist on saying that Chen Yingxiong has any weaknesses, maybe his character is the biggest weakness.

When encountering a strong enemy, Chen Yingxiong will burst out with very powerful energy.

But if he encounters an opponent who is really too weak, he might not be able to cheer up.

This man is emotional.

Conte felt that irritating him could only make him hate Juventus more deeply and thus pay more attention to it. It would not be worthwhile if he had to beat Juventus at that time.

If people know the reason for Conte's low-key approach, I'm afraid many Juventus fans will scold him for being spineless, shameful and so on.

But now the situation is stronger than the people.You don't keep a low profile, so do you have any other effective ways to stop Chen Yingxiong?
Who made Chen Yingxiong so powerful?

Let a century-old giant like Juventus have to bow his head and lower his posture when facing him.

※ ※ ※

Conte's approach made Chen Yingxiong very boring. He had a lot to say when he played Juventus. When he played for Naples, he had to fight Juventus at least twice a season.That story can be told for a long time.

Just waiting for a suitable opportunity, he doesn't mind revisiting the past history for Juventus fans.

But Juventus did not give him such a chance.

Juventus has no one to speak, whether it is the coach Conte or the players.Everyone remained silent, and even the local media in Turin didn't show any aggressive behavior-Chen Yingxiong can understand Italian, so he can naturally know what the media will say in the first place.

This made him very uncomfortable.

Very upset.

You are the giants Juventus, and this is your territory!At least you guys should show some vicious vibes, right?
Well, you keep quiet, I'll come!
After the training to adapt to the field before the game, Chen Yingxiong was surrounded by Italian reporters.

Because Chen Yingxiong has played for Naples for three seasons, he has many familiar faces in the Italian press, and everyone likes to interview him.Because he dared to say anything with his big mouth.

When interviewing him, a reporter asked him what he thought of the game.

Chen Yingxiong was secretly delighted that someone would bring a pillow when he really dozed off.

What I need is such a question, otherwise it would be too abrupt to speak rashly.

He chuckled: "Obviously, Juventus is afraid of us!"

When the words came out, everyone was shocked.

Seeing the surprised reporters, Chen Yingxiong further explained: "Why do you say that? Because I have been in Turin for almost a day, and I haven't heard any Juventus players express their views on this game. Don't they Do you know that tomorrow is the game? So I think they must be afraid of us, we are so scared that they can't even speak! Hahaha!"

What Chen Yingxiong said was too rampant, too arrogant.So much so that some journalists who supported Juventus during the interview couldn't stand it anymore, and all of them looked bad immediately.

We praise you, value you, and regard you as an opponent worthy of respect. How can you humiliate us like this? !

What do you mean we are afraid of you? !

But the anger of these people is only temporary, because many people have calmed down, and then thought of a series of actions of Juventus during this period.

If people say that they are afraid of him, it seems really reasonable...

This kind of timid look, if not afraid of Chen Yingxiong, what could it be?

Alas, if we don't live up to expectations, it's no wonder others look down on us!
