Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 172
Now with the outbreak of the financial crisis, many clubs in Italy are having a hard time. Their finances are beyond their means and they are unsustainable. As a result, the competitiveness of the Serie A teams has declined sharply, and the commercial influence of the league has declined.

The old lady Juventus has become the only face of the Serie A league today, and its financial stability has allowed them to complete the notification of the Serie A league in recent years, while maintaining a strong competitiveness in the Champions League.

In the past few seasons, Juventus's performance in the Champions League has been very good, the runner-up and the semi-finals. Some players in the team are still at the end of their peak, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Serie A is a magical league. The older you get, the more demonic it is. The rhythm of the league is relatively slow, and many old players have rejuvenated their careers here.

Not to mention, De Rossi, Totti, Dzeko, Mandzukic and many other stars have all played well in this league.

Especially the first two are enough to be called football legends.

There are also many old players in the Juventus lineup. Perhaps their physical fitness has not lived up to the courage of the past, but their football experience, awareness, and judgment of the team's ball path have reached perfection. The defensive system is more and more showing the role of old players.

The teenager Buffon, needless to say, guessing the direction of penalty kicks in the World Cup in 16 is enough to show his experience.

Chiellini is one of the models of getting older and becoming more demonic. The "madman" Mourinho praised him greatly. He once said that Chiellini can go to Harvard to defend, which shows how powerful the Italian defender's defensive ability is.

Bonucci, and Chiellini, known as Italy's "Secret Two Elders", are a perfect match for defending against each other, covering up for the ball, hitting the ball and stealing the ball. They have guaranteed the defense of Juventus and the Italian national team.

The two full-backs are also Evra, and Alves is also a member of the Champions League champions. The latter is the main full-back of the dream team that swept the world.

Having such an extremely experienced back line is a huge test for Dortmund's offensive players.

On the front line is the three-arrow combination of Mandzukic, Dybala and Higuain.

Excellent in height, hardness, and speed, it will also pose a great threat to Subotic's leading defense.

Of course, this match between the two teams is also a direct dialogue between the Bundesliga champions and the Bundesliga champions. Of course, the biggest highlight is still Wang Po. After all, Juventus is also one of the potential buyers in the list listed by the media. This game has a taste of inspection.

Matchday, Allianz Stadium, Torino.

Juventus fans gathered outside the stadium early to cheer for the home team.

The Dortmund team bus arrived at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. The moment Wang Po stepped off the bus, he was surrounded by countless Italian journalists.

"Will you come to Italy to challenge the Serie A this summer?"

"I don't know if you have anything to respond to the rumors of coming in with Juventus?"

"Has the transfer with the Juventus club entered into a substantive operational step?"

……

Faced with the reporter's questioning, Wang Po was very calm, and said lightly, "I am now a player of Borussia Dortmund, that's all."

"You made a similar speech when you were at Benfica, but in the end you joined the Dortmund team. This time the answer is exactly the same. Will there be another mystery like last time?"

Obviously, the Italian reporters present had done their homework and prepared.

Wang Po smiled slightly, shrugged and said, "If you want to say that, I have nothing to say. After all, the media can always find a special interpretation angle, and I can't help it."

"Mr. Wang Po, it's good to reveal some news, your next stop..."

Facing the aggressive questioning of the reporter, Wang Po chose to ignore it, and with difficulty separated the crowd and entered the locker room.

There is no denying that it was the manager Hamburg who specifically told him to do so.

The purpose is simple, he wants to confuse the transfer matter in this way, making it impossible for people to guess or see through.

This coincides with the hype of the Dortmund club, which means to raise Wang Po's worth.

Counterattack, speed, impact.

These are a few points that Tuchel emphasized to the players before the game. They are attacking the weaknesses of your old Juventus defense. Fighting awareness and experience, how can Dortmund's strikers be the opponents of the defenders led by Xuan Ming?

Moving and consuming them is Tuchel's biggest strategy in this field.

Wang Po entered the starting list, but unlike before, in this game, Tuchel let him play as the usual central midfielder, but the right midfielder, to target Juventus' full-back Evra, and Ousmane Dembele was on the left side where he was good at, suppressing the old monster Alves.

Aubameyang is the center forward, the most stable link against Juventus Xuanming's two old guards.

This kind of behind-the-back and counter-attack, the key point is to play the ball decisively and accurately in the backcourt. The burden is all on the old captain Subotic.

Tuchel's tactic is actually a reasonable bet, betting on Subotic's footwork, and, under continuous impact and running, the aging Juventus defense will have loopholes.

Of course, there is also a huge risk. For example, if the ball is strangled to death in the backcourt, then the scene will fall into an unimaginable passivity.

If the team had two Wang Po, Tuchel would probably not be so worried.

Inside the player tunnel.

Wang Po, who has always been silent, took the initiative to go to the Juventus team this time, and his goal was Juventus goalkeeper Buffon.

In the summer of 06, Buffon’s super performance has been deeply imprinted in Wang Po’s childhood. Perhaps, some people blurted out Casilla when they said that the world’s strongest goalkeeper appeared, and some people might say that Neuer redefined the goalkeeper. But from an emotional point of view, Buffon is undoubtedly Wang Po’s favorite goalkeeper, and his position in his heart is irreplaceable.

"After this game, can we exchange jerseys?"

Seeing that Wang Po took the initiative to speak, Buffon was a little surprised at first, and then smiled and said, "If you can break my goal, of course you can. If not, I want to wait for the end of this series. How about it?"

"You are challenging me."

Wang Po laughed loudly, and the fighting spirit in his heart was ignited at once.

"Goalkeepers always like to be challenged by strikers, don't they?" Buffon said with a shrug.

"of course."
