Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 670 Passive at the Opening
"Everyone in the audience! Welcome to the 12-13 UEFA Champions League group stage match..." Duan Xuan's familiar voice came from the TV, and the sports station broadcast the game as usual.

Why do you say that as usual, since Zhang Yuan arrived at Real Madrid, the sports station basically broadcast Real Madrid games when they can broadcast Real Madrid games. When Zhang Yuan arrived in Italy, the broadcasting target was only changed to Juventus.

No matter what teams in China have fans, almost most of them are willing to watch Zhang Yuan's games. This is like the NBA's big brother Yao. Not all basketball fans in China are Rockets fans, but most of them are Chinese Yao fans.

The commentator invited today is Director Zhang, an expert in Serie A. In the pre-match analysis, Director Zhang is obviously not very optimistic about Juventus' trip to England. There is no way to say that their record in history is really terrible. It is not an exaggeration.

The laws of history are not necessarily accurate every time, but it is best to refer to the historical records more when buying football lottery. There is nothing wrong with this.

"Chelsea have spent a lot of money this summer, and their investment is at the forefront of the Premier League! The newly introduced Hazard and Oscar have spent more than 2000 million pounds. Judging from the previous few games, we don't know the money. Is it worth the money, but their strength is still there!"

Abramovich is different from Moratti. After Chelsea won the Champions League last season, he didn't seem to be satisfied. This summer, he eagerly began to invest heavily. If it weren't for the failure to buy Zhang Yuan, his investment this summer will rank first in European transfers. Tianzi number one.

Of course, the main reason for his investment is to continue his brilliance. Passively speaking, Drogba, who has played for Chelsea for many years this summer, has left. He must make some moves in the transfer market.

Forward Torres made him a little disappointed, but without Zhang Yuan, there was a shortage of good forwards in the market, so he could only give Torres a vote of confidence.

Before the start of the game, Chelsea showed the European Champions Cup trophy they won last season. Zhang Yuan stood in the player tunnel and watched the championship trophy being brought to the stadium for display with his own eyes. His heart was inevitably filled with excitement. He really wanted to go up and touch it, but then he felt dejected. Of course, there is nothing wrong with touching it, but the point is that he is really embarrassed now, because he is not qualified and he is not a champion.

The referee of today's game is the famous Portuguese whistler Pedro Plenca, who has been law enforcement of the Champions League since 2007, and he is also the referee of this summer's European Cup final.

At the end of the display in the stadium, Plenka and the referee team brought the players from both sides into the arena, and the captains of both sides, Terry and Buffon, walked in the front.

Terry was injured in Chelsea's game against Queens Park Rangers last weekend, but he came back in time for this game. In addition, they still have another injury number. The heavyweight Mata also returned, but he failed to appear in the starting lineup today. Instead, sit on the bench.

Di Matteo sent out a formation of 433 today. This formation is also the Chelsea main formation that has been rarely changed since the Mourinho era.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defender: Ivanovic, David Luiz, Terry, Ashley Cole
Midfielder: Ramires, Lampard, Mikel

Forward: Hazard Torres Oscar
This lineup is currently Chelsea's strongest lineup, and Di Matteo will certainly not hide his secrets in such an important game.

Juventus is naturally a very skilled 352 position.

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defender: Barzali Bonucci Chiellini

Midfielder: Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah

Forward: Zhang Yuanwu Zinic

Juventus's forward position makes it difficult for Conte to choose. Many coaches often say to the outside world: "I will play whoever is in a good training state!"

But in fact, each of them has a steelyard in their own minds, and they already have their own opinions on who is the main force and who is the substitute.

But here at Juventus, Conte is very annoyed at the use of another forward. Except for Zhang Yuan, other forwards are not the kind that can satisfy him. He has always asked the senior management for a high center forward. Playing the No. 10 position, playing a relatively dead high center forward, cannot fully utilize Zhang Yuan's ability.

As a result, Juventus was not willing to spend money, and at the last moment this summer, it really brought a high center forward to Conte - Bendtner, um, the Danish player who was called the self-confident emperor by Chinese fans. On loan, with a buyout right after the season.

This guy is obviously a player who believes in talent more than hard work. After coming to Juventus, the current situation is actually beneficial to him. Conte also hopes that he can show a different attitude from the past. .

This guy was quite professional when he first arrived at Juventus, but he couldn't even get a minute in the two games, and his mentality changed again. He became lazy and didn't work hard in training. This time he played away at Stamford Bridge. Conte didn't even let him into the 1-man squad.

If Bendtner can show the arrogance and strength of a center forward in training, Conte can definitely let him play the center forward position and let him partner with Zhang Yuan, but it has not been long since this season has started. Do not report any hope.

The pre-match ceremony was over, Plenka blew his whistle, and the game started.

The characteristic of the Premier League team is that they are fast, and traditionally they pay more attention to confrontation and running than mainland teams, and they have excellent physical fitness.

Juventus is at a disadvantage among the professors of the Premier League team. They are often dragged down by their opponents and unable to enter their own rhythm.

There are benefits to getting Pirlo, of course, don't think that they are all benefits. He also has disadvantages, such as slow pace, and there is still a gap between Zhang Yuan and Zhang Yuan in terms of confrontation ability.

Di Matteo's style of play today is fast and slow. At the beginning of the game, the Chelsea team pressed up and made a high-position press. They fought against Juventus with physical strength and strength!
They are Chelsea, not a weak team. They are used to this way in the Premier League. Juventus will not often encounter such a situation in Serie A, because some teams use such tactics against Juventus. Looking for death, Chelsea's use of this is of course different, they want to kill Juventus.

It's not that Juventus has not considered this situation. Conte's response plan in training is to shorten the distance between Marchisio and Vidal and Pirlo, aiming to allow Pirlo to pass the ball more. Let the two midfielders provide the necessary protection for Pirlo.

It's good on the training ground, but it doesn't work very well on the court.

First of all, Marchisio and Vidal did not provide enough protection for Pirlo, and Chelsea's midfielders Lampard, Mikel, and Ramirez were very close to the Juventus midfielder, allowing Marchisio Theo and Vidal struggled to get away.

As for the wing-backs on both sides, Chelsea also has full-backs pressing very high, which can always put a lot of pressure on Juventus's wing defense.

Secondly, Pirlo's condition is not good today. In the opening 2 minutes, he made two pass errors, which almost caused a catastrophe.

Finally, in this situation, many old Serie A fans can see that Juventus, the current strongest team in Serie A, is still an order of magnitude behind that in early 2000. It is not Pirlo's lack of strength but Marchi The strength of Theo and Vidal is worse than those of the previous stars.

Zhang Yuan looked a little helpless in front. His partner Vucinic worked very hard and often retreated to try to get the ball. Who knew Chelsea could kill you in the midfield, and Vucinic rarely had the chance to get the ball. .

Carrera kept yelling for Juventus players to retreat from the sidelines. There was no way, what he was thinking now was that Juventus must survive this period of time and adopt a solid posture.

Well, such a scene is also expected by Juventus. If it doesn't work, retreat and use defense to counter Chelsea's offense.

Conte's defensive effort was deep, Juventus took the defensive in the opening minutes, in the early stage of adaptation, Chelsea got two chances, but they couldn't take them, and then Juventus The players quickly adjusted their mentality and concentrated on defending. Facing an Italian team that can defend, the defending champion Chelsea obviously has no tricks. They can only maintain the advantage in possession and even the forward He has the advantage of the field, but he still can't find the space to pass the threatening ball.

Di Matteo was helpless on the sidelines, he was too aware of the consequences of a Serie A team's single-minded defense.

　Today is April Fool's Day, isn't it?I wish you all a happy holiday, and thank you for your support!thank you all!
