Football's hand covers the sky

Chapter 324 A Visit to the Juventus Arena

Turin is the third largest city in Italy and the largest automobile venue in Europe, with a large number of classical and baroque buildings preserved, but this does not matter to Arsenal players, because Arsenal came as the enemy of the city.

Participating in the pre-match media conference, going to the Juventus Arena to adapt to the venue, Arsenal is not affected by the outside world, and is preparing for the game in an orderly manner.

With Arsenal's series of preparations, time passed quickly, and the Juventus Arena was overcrowded in a blink of an eye. The football market in Italy is not good, so even the stadiums of giant teams are often full of seats. The same is true of Juventus' home courts.

Juventus used to hold more than 7 people at home. At that time, the stadium was also called Del Alpi Stadium. It was not a good thing for the home team to be dissatisfied with the stadium. After six years of negotiations, Juventus finally got the right to rebuild the stadium.

There is a very strange phenomenon in Italy, that is, teams cannot have private stadiums, and even many teams from the same city share a stadium.

Among them, the most famous is the home court of the Milan duo. If it is AC Milan's game, the stadium is called San Siro, and it is called Meazza if it is replaced by Inter Milan.

Therefore, Juventus' new home stadium can be said to have opened a new page in Italian football, and the remodeled Del Alpi Stadium can only accommodate more than 4 people, and its name has also been changed to Juventus Arena.

The stands are full of seats, and the warm-up of the players on both sides of the field has ended. As the players return to the locker room, the curtain of the game is about to begin.

"Today's game both teams have sent the strongest lineup." In far away Asia, the UEFA Champions League game starts in the early morning of Asia, which can be said to be a very unfriendly time, and the game is played in the middle of the week, and most of them have to go to work the next day, but even so, there are still countless people sitting in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast.

In South Korea, Li Zhien sat in front of the TV on time, but the one who accompanied Li Zhien to watch the game today was not his good sister, but his own team, and the whole team.

So at the moment, Li Zhien's family still has a lot of family members, but not everyone is as energetic as Li Zhien. After all, not everyone likes football, and not everyone has insomnia like Li Zhien.

In fact, Li Zhien's insomnia improved when she was with Li Shou, but it recurred after returning to Korea. Recently, Li Zhien has been under a lot of pressure, because the TV drama audition has been successful. Next, Li Zhien will prepare for the role.

Li Shou knew about Li Zhien watching his game in front of the TV, because they talked on the phone every day, but Li Shou didn't like Li Zhien watching the game too late. After all, as an artist, Li Zhien had little rest time, especially after he was involved in the shooting of a new TV series.

Speaking of which, Li Zhien's other female lead in the new TV series is also related to Li Shou, but at this time Li Shou and Li Shou don't know about it, because Kong Xiaozhen hasn't told Li Shou yet.

In fact, Li Shou still doesn't know something. Li Zhien is not the only person who has a relationship with him in South Korea and admires his games highly.

But even if Li Shou knew it, he couldn't control it, because it was impossible for Li Shou to appear in front of them now, and what he was going to face now was Juventus players.

Arsenal lineup:

Goalkeeper: Li Shou

Defenders: Monreal, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Chambers

Midfielders: Coquelin, Ramsey, Cazorla

Forwards: Griezmann, Giroud, Sanchez

Juventus lineup:

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defenders: Evra, Chiellini, Bonucci, Lichtsteiner

Midfielders: Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Marchisio

Forwards: Morata, Llorente

Compared with Arsenal's lineup, Juventus's starting lineup stands out. Except for Pirlo, the other three are all-round midfielders with excellent physical fitness, and there are two tall centers on the front line.

"Allegri's starting lineup is quite interesting." For these two starting lineups, the commentators began to eloquently explain their views.

At this time, the players of both sides are actually still making final preparations in the locker room, especially for Arsenal in the away game. It is very important to be able to successfully advance to the away game.

"Be careful of Juventus' long-range shots" Juventus's midfielder's long-range shots exploded. All four of them have long-range shots, and Pirlo even has a superb free kick.

Therefore, in Wenger's view, the two tall centers of Juventus are more useful to create long-range shots for the four midfielders behind them.

Wenger guessed that there was nothing wrong. After the game started, Juventus immediately tested Li Shou's nerves with a long shot. After a few passes, the ball came to Pirlo's feet.

Pirlo didn't move forward after taking the ball, but lingered in his own half for a while and then sent a long pass. Llorente, the Juventus center beat Koscielny and hit Morata with a header.

Morata, who came from Real Madrid's youth training, not only has height, but also has speed and good skills, so after receiving the pass, Morata immediately rushed towards the Arsenal penalty area with the ball.

However, Morata was only doing this to create space for his teammates behind him to shoot. When he rushed outside the penalty area, Morata made a pass back with his heel, and Pogba had already followed up.

"Long shot~~~Pogba~~~Juventus's first shot, a powerful long shot." Pogba received the pass without making any adjustments and directly kicked and bombarded the goal.

"Don't think about it." At the same time as Pogba's long-range shot, Li Shou had already stood in his position in advance. Li Shou originally wanted to catch the ball directly, but after seeing the power of Pogba's shot, he gave up this idea and turned the ball out of the baseline.

Although Li Shou is confident, he will not be full of eyes. Pogba's long-range shot Li Shou is confident, but he may also let go. At this time, Mottala and Llorente have rushed into the penalty area, so in order to avoid accidents, Li Shou gave up his original plan.

Although Allegri's tactics are based on long-range shots, Juventus's header ability is not bad. Two central defenders plus two center forwards, replaced by ordinary teams, the effect of high-altitude bombing is certainly not bad.

So this corner kick Pirlo chose to send the ball directly into the Arsenal penalty area, but it turned out that this was not a good decision. Li Shou rushed out decisively to make a complete clearance, and even sent a wave of counterattacks.

Li Shou punched the ball to Cazorla's feet, who immediately passed the ball to Sanchez, which became Arsenal's regular offensive mode this season.

So Juventus had been prepared for a long time. The moment Cazorla passed the ball, Evra immediately rushed to Sanchez's side. At the same time, Lichtsteiner retreated, so that even if Evra did not stop Sanchez, there was still room for buffering.
