Chapter 197 Before the second round of the Champions League

Victor's goal for Juventus in this "Italian Derby" became the only goal of the game.And Juventus also relied on this goal to beat Juventus 0-1 in the away game.

In this game, when there were about ten minutes before the final whistle, a substitution by AC Milan caused cheers from the fans in the San Siro Stadium, not only the fans of the home team AC Milan, but even the fans of the home team. The "expedition" Juventus fans also applauded and cheered for the AC Milan player.

Because his name is Fernando Torres.He is also this season, transferred from the Chelsea team that made him depressed.As one of the rare Torres who has won all the honors that a player can get, now in Chelsea, it seems to be a "redundant one." Of course, he is unwilling to continue to speak out in this situation , Therefore, choose to rent, leave the rainy Stamford Stadium in London, come to the San Siro Stadium in Milan, where at least in winter, you can see the sun, and rediscover the "golden boy" in Calderon, and find the "golden boy" in Anfield The omnipotent "Tonyu" seems to be the best choice.

And after playing Torres, it seems that because of his experience at Chelsea, he let go of the only choice as the striker of the Spanish national team, so he was only responsible for the offensive body, and began to play against the Juventus defense in the frontcourt. press.

But it is a pity that in the remaining time, although Torres worked very hard, he also really wanted to be able to gain something in his first game representing AC Milan.However, excessively engaging in the fight that he is not good at can only make Torres finally "harvest" a yellow card at the end of the game.

After the game, Victor, who scored the only goal for Juventus in the game, also took the initiative to find Torres, who was wearing a sweaty jersey even though he only played 10 minutes.He took the initiative to greet Torres in Spanish, and then exchanged jerseys.Victor looked at his face and forced himself to smile, then bowed his head and left, walking towards Torres in the player tunnel.He could only sigh helplessly, and secretly asked the Virgin Mary to bless him.

After the game against AC Milan, the entire Juventus team could not take a breather.If the game against AC Milan is a "weekly test" after Juventus starts the journey of the new season. Then, the recent game is a "stage test" for Juventus.

The next three days later, on September 9, played against Cesena at home.Three days later, on the 24th, an away game against Atlanta.Then on the night of October 27, the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage came. Juventus will go to Madrid, Spain. This time they will challenge the "sheet army" at the Calderon Stadium, Atletico Madrid led by Simeone.Then on October 10th, in Serie A, we will usher in last season's runner-up, Roma's "kicking hall."

Afterwards, the entire Juventus team can finally take a breath, because the next match day of the national team will reignite the flames of war, and the European Cup qualifiers will allow the players of each club to "return to the country to work hard." After the national team game in October, on October 10, the Serie A league restarted.

As the current head coach of Juventus, Allegri knows exactly what tasks he needs to accomplish this season.First of all, the league championship must be won again. After all, this Juventus team has already completed the "monopoly" of Serie A for three consecutive seasons under Conte. The team is not yet qualified to challenge Juventus.

AC Milan and Inter Milan are deeply involved in "internal and external troubles". Although Naples has spent a lot of money in the transfer market in the past two seasons, it spent 3700 million euros from Real Madrid last season, and the highest can reach 4000 million euros. Higuain introduced by the transfer fee.It seems to have become the last piece of the puzzle for Naples to rebuild the glory of Maradona's period.However, Naples, currently under the leadership of Spanish coach Benitez, still seems to lack a "championship temperament."

As for last season's runner-up Roma, it seems that everyone is most concerned about when De Rossi can become the official captain, but it seems that it will take another year.And this incident has even made a lot of jokes among the fans.

So, Allegri's primary task this season is to lead Juventus to win the Serie A championship again.But the next task, which is also the primary task, is to lead Juventus to achieve a greater breakthrough in the Champions League.

Bigger breakthrough?What is called a greater breakthrough.It's very simple, it is to achieve a better result than the previous one.Of course, it is not for Allegri and the Juventus team led by him to compare with the "Bianconeri" that swept across the European continent in history and made Sir Alex Ferguson come to learn.If the players may still have the strength to fight, after all, compared with the past, the physical running ability of modern players is far beyond.But as far as the head coach is concerned.

Can "Uncle Ji" Allegri be compared with the World Cup champion coach and godfather-level "Silver Fox" Lippi?No kidding, therefore, for Allegri, the natural comparison is the performance of Juventus in the Champions League in previous seasons.As for the Europa League, no aggressive team will care about the Europa League ranking.

And Juventus's best performance in the Champions League in recent seasons, that is, last season, in the second year when Conte became the head coach of Juventus, that is, Conte's "gambling" case " "It was revealed," the season in which he was sentenced to a 10-month suspension.

Juventus squeezed the defending champion Chelsea of ​​the Champions League to third place in the group stage of the Champions League, and the defending champion was forced to participate in the Europa League.In the ensuing round of [-], the Celtics were even eliminated. Later, in one-eighth of the matches, they were eliminated by the champion team of that year's Champions League, Bayern Munich.

So looking at it this way, as long as he can lead Juventus this season, preferably through one-eighth of the games, then it can be said that Allegri will pass this most important assessment.But is it that simple?Think about the opponents you might face in the last [-], and then think about the opponents you will face in the next eight, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​​​even Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid.Perhaps the only good news is the "consequences" brought about by the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, the coach of the Manchester United team in the Premier League. Manchester United failed to appear in this Champions League.

But Allegri couldn't be happier either.

But even so, the game still has to be done step by step.And three days later, Juventus, who returned to the Alpi Stadium at home, faced Cesena, whose strength was far inferior to his own. Out of the big rotation.

On the forward line, Victor and Carlos Tevez all sat on the sidelines, and Victor was not even selected for the 18-man squad this time because he participated in the two games against Malmo and AC Milan.They were replaced by Llorente and "atomic ant" Giovinco.This is a pair of forwards with a "super cute height difference". Llorente at 1 meters and Giovinco at 95 meters.And Giovinco's amazing performance in this game can't help but make you feel sorry for Giovinco.

There was Victor in the front, Tevez, Llorente, Morata in the back.Giovinco has been unable to secure the position of Juventus's starting striker.And these two head coaches recently, whether it is Conte or Allegri, in their tactics, neither of them has a stable midfielder position.

In the midfield, Vidal replaced Pogba who gave Victor the decisive assist in the previous game.And Vidal became the "absolute hero" for Juventus' victory in this game. Two goals, one of which was a long-range shot from outside the penalty area about 15 minutes into the first half, hit the Siena player's arm resulting in a penalty.One was a long shot in the second half.As for the last goal, it was Paduin's scalpel-like pass that replaced Vidal, allowing Lisisteiner, who was steadily occupying the position of right wing back, to score his first goal in the league this season. .

3 to 0, Juventus beat Siena at home.

And next, the away game against Atlanta.Although Atlanta can't bring any big trouble to Juventus, but, "When you see a team wearing black and blue striped shirts, play like Inter Milan." In the end, Juventus gave Atlanta another 0-3 loss in the away game.According to international practice, the home team Atlanta is in front and the visiting team Juventus is behind.

In addition, in this game, Allegri carried out a certain scale rotation of Juventus' starting players.Among the three central defenders, Obonna replaced Cáceres.In terms of midfield, the "iron triangle" that played this time is Vidal, Marchisio and Pogba.As for Pirlo, who was considered by those ball critics to firmly occupy a main position before the start of the league, he has not yet played a record in his current position.After all, he is a 35-year-old veteran, and he was accidentally injured during summer training.

As for the front line, Llorente's game should be the so-called "rotation".Victor and Carlos Tevez both occupy the qualifications for the starting lineup, and the two also lived up to the coach Allegri.One person, one goal, plus Morata, who replaced Victor, who should play against Atletico Madrid in the next game, also made a header in the 85th minute.

Juventus, who once again scored three league points, had no time to celebrate because they had to rush to the Spanish capital Madrid.There, Simeone and his Atlético Madrid, who beat Barcelona to the league title last season, were in full swing.This is an uncertain game for Juventus.
