Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 668 Date with the Blue Army
On the afternoon of September 9th, Juventus challenged Genoa away, and Zhang Yuan sat on the bench.

Sitting next to him is the younger brother Pogba, and that annoying Lucio.

Pogba has not gotten 1 minute of playing time so far this season. He is still a little depressed in private. You must know that he came to Juventus just to play.

"You can tell Mr. Conte! From my point of view, you don't have to worry. It's only two games now. Last year I also sat on the bench! Take a good look! Manchester United is different from Juventus! "

While Zhang Yuan told him these things, he also told him some tactical mysteries of Juventus, as well as some things on the Serie A pitch.

Juventus now has relatively strong control in Serie A. Many teams are passive or active in a defensive position. It is much more difficult for Juventus to win than last season.

Conte doesn't pay much attention to Genoa at all, after all, Genoa is a member of the relegation army.

Genoa's experience last season was quite twists and turns. It was Malesani who started to coach. He was fired after Genoa lost 1-6 to Naples, and Marino took over his coach.Unexpectedly, on April 4 in the first half of this year, Marino dismissed get out of class due to a poor record, and Malesani returned to Genoa.As a result, Malesani dismissed get out of class again after 2 days.During this period, Genoa played 20 league games, a 3-1 away draw with Novara, a 1-1 home draw with Cesena, and a 1-1 home loss to Siena.

Genoa showed no signs of rebounding at all. In the game against Siena, Genoa fans also rioted, accusing the players of not being worthy of wearing Genoa jerseys. At that time, many players were forced to take off their jerseys.

Malesani, of course, had no good fruit to eat, and was fired by Genoa's chairman Pregiosi!
Then Prechiosi invited De Canio to take the stage. The main thing De Canio did after he came to the stage was to rectify the morale of the army. The root of Genoa's problems is actually the players. The fans asked them to take off their jerseys. It is not blind fuck up.

De Canio's psychology teacher worked very well, and Genoa finally got back on track, and finally succeeded in relegation.

In the first two games of this season, De Canio won one and lost one, scored 4 goals and conceded 3 goals. Since Gasperini's time, Genoa has been a player who dares to play offensively. A team that spends more effort.

Whether it is a 3-back system or a 4-back system, latecomers are not very conservative in their style of play.

Of course, today they met the mighty Juventus, so they had to keep a low profile. Those who know current affairs are heroes, and De Canio is not that stupid.

Today, he sent a double center forward combination, Borriello and Immobile. His offensive method is very simple, that is, to pass from the two wings, or to find the center with a long pass. The offensive method is simple and direct, and does not need to invest too much force. .

After all, after the national team game, after all, many players have been rotated. Juventus has possession of the ball, but Genoa can often cause trouble for Juventus in a simple and direct way.

After two excellent chances missed, Genoa finally seized the opportunity in the 18th minute and took the lead to break through the gate of Juventus.

Carrera has only led the team for a few games, and he is indeed not the head coach. Faced with such a situation, he did not find any decent way to make effective adjustments.

"Your chance is gone!" Zhang Yuan said to Pogba firmly.

The halftime is not over yet, Zhang Yuan said this and Pogba said that what he thought was that Juventus definitely wanted to win this game [-]%, but Conte obviously did not learn from the two draws by Genoa last year Lesson learned, the snow hid a lot of people, and now they suffered a lot.

Pogba is a novice. In such a scene, it may be difficult to gain Conte's trust. The main force in the second half is quite possible.

Conte still kept back. Today he didn't put Zhang Yuan on the bench instead of resting directly.

Sure enough, during the half-time break, Conte called Carrera and quickly replaced him. Whoever replaced Qiao Wenke and Zhang Yuan, let Zhang Yuan and Matri partner as strikers, and also replaced Vidal. Get off Giaccellini.

This is Conte's backhand. When he can't start the situation, he will let Zhang Yuan play to attack the opponent.

After the start of the second half, Zhang Yuan’s playing really improved the offensive quality of Juventus. In the 58th minute, Zhang Yuan broke through with the ball and caused a foul. Pirlo directly hit the goal with a free kick and equalized for Juventus. score.

In the 78th minute, Zhang Yuan sent another wonderful pass for Matri, allowing the latter to help Juventus overtake the score.

De Canio obviously can't come up with any good means to defend Zhang Yuan. Kuzka has a year of Serie A experience, but he is still powerless when dealing with Zhang Yuan.

In the 82nd minute, Zhang Yuan responded again, and Marchisio broke through the gate of Genoa with a long shot.

After securing the victory, Juventus played rough, and Zhang Yuan did not deliberately pursue a goal, but cooperated with the team to control the ball on the field, and easily denied Genoa a chance, and Genoa had nothing to do with it. Method.

In the end, they won first and then lost at home, allowing Juventus to win three consecutive league victories!
Juventus won't be able to relax after winning the away game. Before the match against Genoa, Juventus had already set their sights on the Champions League match with the Blues Chelsea.

Chelsea won the Champions League last season. To be honest, it was an upset in itself. Their strength is not as good as Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, and Bayern. However, under the leadership of Di Matteo, they miraculously won the championship.

Throughout Abrahimovic's years, the longest-lived head coach under him is his thirsty Mourinho. Other coaches include some well-known coaches Ancelotti, Scolari, Bo Astor was short-lived.

Chelsea's competitiveness in the Premier League is not at all like when Mourinho was there. Mourinho would always become the de facto favorite when Mourinho was there, but the results of latecomers are mostly ups and downs. Of course there are many reasons, but The main reason is still Abrahimovic. After Mourinho, he extended his hand to the team to defend the title too much. If something goes wrong, the coach will be responsible.

Juventus' odds of winning the Champions League this year are relatively high, which shows that the outside world is not optimistic about Juventus' prospects in the Champions League.

But Juventus's own people don't think so. In the UEFA Champions League last season, Chelsea, who were not favored by the outside world, made it all the way to the final and finally clinked the cup. Zebra defender Pollini, who won the 1996 Champions League with Juventus, thinks The Bianconeri will have the chance to replicate the Chelsea legend.Pollini said: "In today's European arena, there are only three teams whose strength is significantly higher than Juventus, that is, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Manchester City. In this season, Juventus is regarded as a bystander by the outside world. But, just like the team I played for, we have a huge hunger and enthusiasm for the championship. Having said that, being looked down upon by others is not all a bad thing. Think about Chelsea last year, they just responded to all doubts, Finally won the Champions League!"

As for the number one striker Zhang Yuan has already said that we can win the championship, why not? !

But Juventus are basically at the bottom when they are fighting against the English team. Their record as a guest in England is terrible. They have not won a single game in their last ten visits, with 2 draws and 8 losses. This is bad enough. The army's date does not look so wonderful. Although the Blues did not beat Juventus hard on the last date, they also won at Stamford Bridge, laying the foundation for the elimination of Juventus.

Although Juventus is undoubtedly at a disadvantage from these aspects, Chelsea does not dare to underestimate Juventus. Compared with two years ago, Juventus is now stronger than it was then.

It can be seen that the control of the midfield is much higher than before, and Juventus' three-back system on the defensive line is becoming more and more mature, and the striker led by Zhang Yuan will not be worse than before. Change many things.
