Chapter 816 Huge pressure on the top of the list

After the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, Serie A resumed.

In the next 12 days, Juventus will fight three games in a row.

In the No.1 round of Serie A on January 16, Juventus will go away to challenge Udinese.

In the No.1 round of Serie A on January 23, Juventus will welcome Naples led by grassroots coach Mazzari at home.

In the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia on January 1, Juventus played against Rome at home. The painful 27-6 match for Rome will be the reason for their revenge.

Since the time for the just-concluded Coppa Italia is very close, Yunsheng must make a certain rotation, but the situation of this game is very bad.It's not because the depth of the bench is not enough, but because the players have just returned from the winter break and are in the recovery period, not in the best condition. Coupled with the intensive schedule and rotation pressure, the team is even more difficult.

Facing Udinese, who had tied themselves in the first round of the league, the Juventus team once again pressed heavily, and Udinese also retreated across the board.

Facing Udinese goalkeeper Handanovic, who has performed superbly this season, even Juventus' luxurious striker combination failed to score successfully under his high and low blocks.

In the end, Juventus had no choice but to get a draw in the away game.

Perhaps due to the poor condition of the players during the winter break, the No. 20 rounds of Serie A all ended in a draw.

What attracts the most attention is not the Juventus game, but the Milan derby. The two Milan teams played in a sluggish manner throughout the game and were out of shape. Except for Inter Milan center Adriano and AC Milan's new aid Cassano, the other players did not show their best form.

In the end, the whole game ended with a score of 1 to 1, and the two old partners of Cottbus each scored a goal.

Roma, Naples, Lazio and other strong teams were also tied one after another, missing a good opportunity to continue to catch up.

After this round of competition, Juventus still ranked first, followed by Inter Milan, AC Milan, Naples, Lazio, Roma and other teams.

Seeing the results of these games, Yun Sheng was relieved.

The top spot was finally secured.

From the Cottbus period to the Monaco period, Yunsheng has this feeling, that is, when his team is ranked second or third, the mentality of the team is very peaceful, and they look forward to every game.

But when the team reached the top of the standings, the mentality of the players changed, from anticipation of the game to some resistance to the game, even fear.Because they know very well that any mistake in a game may cause the team to fall from the top position.

In the history of international football, there have been many instances where the team has been at the top of the list, but after a loss, it collapsed thousands of miles, and was finally pulled down by the pursuers behind it.

For example, Manchester United once trailed Arsenal by eight points, but still tenaciously overtook them to win the championship.

And Real Madrid fought back in the 0607 season, surpassing Barcelona and finally winning the championship.

Of course, it also includes Juventus winning the championship at the last moment in 2002. Lazio killed Inter Milan and Ronaldo cried bitterly on the bench.

Juventus is now facing this situation.

Unlike other periods, every pursuer behind Juventus now has the potential to surpass them.Not only are the Milan duo and Roma the top two, but even the point gap between Naples and Juventus is only six points.In other words, if Juventus lose two games in a row, they may even fall out of the European theater!
This is something Yun Sheng absolutely does not want to see.

In the recent period of time, Yunsheng drew 【Training Bonuses】 again and again, and Yunsheng used them decisively without hesitation.

For the current Juventus, the most important thing is to restore the state before the winter break as soon as possible.

On the evening of January 1, at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin, Juventus ushered in their second league opponent after the winter break - Naples.

In the first half of the game, Yunsheng's team was stubbornly equalized by Naples in the away game, taking away their victory.Their grassroots coach Mazari performed very well in that game. His substitution operations and tactical adjustments finally tied the score at 0-2 in the unfavorable situation of the team's 2-2.

However, Yun Sheng was very unconvinced about that game, because the real turning point of that game was Buffon's injury.

Before Buffon was injured and went off the field, Juventus led 2-0, and the team's offensive was fierce and there was a goal.But after Juventus left the field, they quickly conceded two goals, and the three points they got were gone.

Therefore, today's game is not only a battle to defend the top spot, but also a battle for Juventus to justify its name!

In the Naples camp, all his main players are on the stage-Cavani, Hamsik, Lavezzi, Cannavaro Jr....

These players are very strong, and Juventus is under great pressure today.

Because the Coppa Italia quarter-finals will be played in four days, Yunsheng considers whether to properly preserve his strength.

But in the end he decided to face it with the strongest lineup!
For Juventus now, the cup is important, and the league is equally important.

Every inadvertent league game may lead to consecutive overturns. Yunsheng is not qualified to let players rotate to preserve their strength.

This game must be done to death!
This Naples team presents a situation of strong offense and weak defense, so Juventus is pressing across the board. This game is mainly offensive, and they want to tear apart the opponent's defense as soon as possible.

And Naples, which has super offensive power, is even more relentless. Several forwards are aggressively pressing on, and they also want to win the away game.

After all, they are currently ranked fourth in the league, and they still retain the hope of competing for the championship.

Yun Sheng didn't dare to underestimate them. After all, in the parallel world of later generations, Naples finally ranked third this season. Not only did they get a ticket to the Champions League, but they almost overthrew the Milan duo.

After a wave of draws in the previous round, the fans were finally pleasantly surprised to see a good game!

Just 5 minutes after the start of the game, Ballack suddenly cast a cold arrow and blasted Naples' goal with a powerful long-range shot!

Ballack helped Juventus open the scoring with his iconic long shot!

1 to 0!Juventus had a perfect start today!

And in the 17th minute, it was Juventus' frontcourt cooperation again. After Piero shook continuously in the penalty area, he was handed over to center Trezeguet.
Just when everyone thought it was a penalty kick, Raul quickly stepped in and took a kick before the goalkeeper made a shot!
The ball rolled into the net!
2 to 0!Another goal for Juventus!
It's another two-goal lead, Juventus is in great shape!

Next, will they continue to score goals, or will they repeat the previous tragedy and be equalized by their opponents with two consecutive goals?
The competition is getting more and more intense!
