Chapter 169 Before the 2014 World Cup

Juventus can only reluctantly "say goodbye" to all the European journeys this season.In retrospect, it can only be said that it is full of regrets everywhere.

The first is to bid farewell to the UEFA Champions League. In fact, Juventus is assigned to this group. It stands to reason that Juventus has absolute strength to break out of the group stage and enter the top [-] of the UEFA Champions League.After all, among the opponents in the same group, the strongest is of course the Real Madrid team led by Italian Carlo Ancelotti and C-Ronaldo, one of the best players in the world.

Secondly, whether it is the Turkish giants, Galatasaray, or the Danish Copenhagen team, which is said to have an inexplicable relationship with Chelsea's owner, Roman Abramovich.In terms of strength on paper, they are far inferior to Juventus.

However, Galatasaray and Copenhagen gave Juventus two "headshots" in the first and second games of Juventus' Champions League group stage this season.

First of all, in the away game, Juventus not only failed to win the first game against Copenhagen easily as everyone seemed to do.Instead, Copenhagen scored the first goal, and then although Qualilarella helped Juventus tie the score.But 1 to 1 score.The biggest upset in the first round of the Champions League broke out.

In the second game, back at home, the Juventus team at the Juventus Stadium faced Galatasaray's challenge.Until the moment before the end of the game, it was still leading 2-1.And there is a famous saying in the football world, which is called "the most unsafe score is 1 to 0."

And 2 to 1, isn't it actually 1 to 0?So this is the most unsafe score.And sure enough, just when Juventus felt that they could reap the first victory in this season's Champions League group stage at home.But it was an attack by Galatasaray that seemed like a "broken jar".

A long pass from the back finds the striker, Ivory Coast "Warcraft", Didier Drogba.And Drogba lived up to the expectations of Galatasaray fans and players, and successfully grabbed the football.Then, another player from Galatasaray smashed the football into the Juventus gate before the Juventus goalkeeper Buffon.

2 to 2. After the two games, Juventus not only did not get the points that were tied with Real Madrid in the standings before such a "heavyweight" match against Real Madrid for two consecutive games.Instead, it only accumulated two points.Just ranked third.

The next two games against Real Madrid also ended in a draw.Fortunately, the Juventus players are still up to the mark and won the fifth home game against Copenhagen.The suspense of qualifying for the group was dragged to the last round of the game against Galatasaray.

Of course, before the game against Galatasaray, which must be won and qualified, it still depends on the face of Real Madrid.If Real Madrid let Copenhagen go, then Juventus will definitely be eliminated.If Real Madrid maintain their "style," win Copenhagen, then Juventus still have a chance.

Of course, it may be the pride of Real Madrid itself, or it may be because the head coach of Real Madrid is Italian.It may also be because Real Madrid's current "top player," C-Ronaldo, has a good relationship with Victor.

In short, Real Madrid won Copenhagen.Let Juventus still have a chance.As long as they win Galatasaray in an away game, they can qualify as No.2 from the group and enter the top sixteen.

However, Galatasaray's home court is in Istanbul, and Galatasaray's home court is even more famous in Europe as the "devil's home court".But the more important reason is the Juventus players. In addition, Juventus' head coach, Antonio Conte, can't escape.

Anyway, Juventus did not win Galatasaray in the away game.The qualification to qualify for the Champions League group was handed over to Galatasaray and to the Turks.And Juventus can only play in the Europa League as the No.3 group.

Then play the Europa League game, let's play the Europa League game. If you win the Europa League championship, it's not too bad.Think about Chelsea last season.Isn't it just being eliminated from the Champions League and then going to play in the Europa League? Besides, Chelsea was the champion of the Champions League last season.Didn't Chelsea still win the Europa League as a result?

Therefore, Juventus may also set foot on the Europa League with this idea.However, even if Juventus defeated Trabzonspor, Fiorentina, and Lyon successively, they still fell at the feet of Benfica, one of Victor's favorite teams.

The result of such a game naturally disappointed Juventus fans.But these Juventini and Juventinas think again, the team has already entered the semi-finals of the Europa League.And defeated the team he supported, Juventus' opponent, Benfica.Their desire to win is higher than that of Juventus.

After all, Juventus is a team that can basically participate in the UEFA Champions League every year. Juventus' goal is to win the Champions League.As for Benfica, um, I haven't seen Benfica in the Champions League for several years.For Benfica, the possibility of winning the Europa League may be much greater than the possibility of winning the Champions League.After all, Benfica is not the team that of course has Eusebio right now.

Therefore, if Juventus fails, it will fail.Besides, Juventus basically won the Serie A championship this season.It depends on how many rounds can be advanced, anyway, let's pay attention to the match between Rome and Catania.If Roma wins, then Juventus can win the Serie A championship two rounds in advance as long as they beat the next opponent.If Rome accidentally loses, it will be three rounds in advance.

And sure enough, just like the Juventus fans thought.The Catania team, which is in deep danger of relegation, or when the league is about to end, the most difficult teams to beat are those teams with relegation tasks.

Catania made the Roma team "overturn the gutter." Catania defeated the Roma team, allowing Juventus to win the Serie A championship before the penultimate game of the league.This is a "three consecutive championships." This is also the current Juventus coach, Antonio Conte's third Serie A title since he took over Juventus.And this season is only Antonio Conte's third season in charge of Juventus.

The contract between Antonio Conte and Juventus did not end until the summer of 2015, and look at the current situation of Juventus in Serie A.This season, he won the Serie A championship with a record-breaking 102 points.This point may only qualify in La Liga.After all, the two teams of Real Madrid and Barcelona are too strong for other teams in La Liga.

The Premier League is also possible, if Manchester United, Chelsea and the Manchester City team, which has sprung up in recent years and was built with a lot of money invested by the Abu Dhabi consortium.It is also possible.

But in Serie A, after all, Serie A is a league that pays attention to defense and tactics.Compared with the head coaches of other leagues, the head coaches are all "tactical masters." Even if it is a mid-lower team, or even a relegation team, even if it is a powerful Juventus, AC Milan, or Inter Milan, they will not be able to do so. Be careful and you may be defeated.Therefore, I don't care about winning the Serie A championship again, but see the preciousness of winning the league championship with 102 points.

In addition, look at the current situation of Juventus' "old rivals" AC Milan and Inter Milan. Well, it seems that in recent seasons, Juventus' biggest opponent has not been "entangled with Juventus" all the time. "This is the duo of Milan City.It's from Naples in southern Italy.

However, the championship still belongs to Juventus, and it still belongs to Juventus of Antonio Conte and his disciples.Is not it?

So, with the joy of winning the Serie A title.Our protagonist, Victor first flew to Lisbon to report to the national team.Because this summer, there is a football event that can be said to have attracted worldwide attention.

World Cup.

"This morning, Victor, who has just won the Italian Football League Championship, came to the national team's training base to report. So far, apart from Real Madrid's C-Ronaldo and Pepe Coentran who will participate in the Champions League final tonight. The national team The 30 players outside the first 27-man roster have all reported to the national team."

This is the news of "SAPO" at noon today, May 2014, 5.Victor himself was invited by C-Ronaldo to watch the Champions League final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. "Spain's Civil War," Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid.

However, although it was an invitation from C-Ronaldo, although C-Ronaldo is the captain of the Portuguese national team.But Victor didn't give him the slightest bit of face.Not only the tickets sent by C-Ronaldo were returned directly to C-Ronaldo.There is also a word left for C-Ronaldo,

"I only want to appear in the Champions League final as a player or as a manager."

And Victor also deliberately went to the national team's training center to report on the day of the Champions League final.Although Bento, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, gave Victor the "preferential treatment" that he can report on the same day as C-Ronaldo and other Portuguese players from Real Madrid. However, Victor still insisted on reporting in advance.

After all, this summer is the World Cup.The World Cup held every four years is a feast for fans all over the world.And this World Cup is held in Brazil, the "Kingdom of Football."The Portuguese national team is in Group G.In addition to Portugal, the same group also includes the German national team, the Ghana national team and the US national team.

Well, in Euro 2012, Germany almost made it to the final, but was defeated by Italy in the semi-final.Although he did not make it to the finals, he competed with the Spanish team for the championship.But Germany seems that their youth training has been quite effective, and it feels that Portugal may not be able to beat them.

But as for Ghana and the US national team.The Portuguese national team should be able to enter the top sixteen of the World Cup as the second place in the group at worst.After all, C-Ronaldo and Pepe, who carried the Champions League medals, also gave up rest and came to the training base of the Portuguese national team to report.
