Chapter 230 Entering the Semifinals

Juventus' away game against Fiorentina ended with Juventus' successful "revenge". 0 to 3, after Juventus won the away game with Borussia Dortmund with this score, they won another victory at the Frankie Stadium in Florence.

Juventus finally relied on the victory of this game to enter the final of the Coppa Italia with a total score of 4-2.

And then, four days later, on the afternoon of April 4, Juventus will play an away game against Parma, which has long been gone.Then, we ushered in the Champions League quarter-elimination opponent, Monaco.However, in the UEFA Champions League, the other two teams in the same half of the zone will also usher in the first round of the contest between each other.

The other two teams are very familiar to Victor.Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, will usher in the "Madrid derby."

However, both Victor and C-Ronaldo have a tacit understanding without affecting each other's preparations. It is only after seeing that Juventus and Real Madrid were drawn into the same half area in the draw ceremony. Ronaldo and the two sent each other a text message at the same time,
"See you in the semifinals."

But now Victor and his team, Juventus, will play away against Parma.As for Juventus, the current leader of the Serie A league, first, the team's current lineup is not complete, and many of the main players are in a state of injury.And more importantly, just three days later, Juventus will usher in the first round of the match against Monaco at their home court.

Therefore, when those football reporters and related media magazines got the Juventus starting list for this game arranged by Allegri.Many ball critics also believe that,

It is estimated that the Parma team will have an upset in this game. After all, Juventus and Allegri, who led her, seem to be planning to give up this game.Wholeheartedly prepare for the Champions League quarter-knockout at home in three days.

After all, the goalkeeper is not the No. 1 who will definitely stand in front of the "Bianconeri" without injuries or red cards, Gianluigi Buffon.It's his substitute, more often this season, Storari, who has been rotated in the Coppa Italia.

As for the striker, Tevez was sitting on the bench, and Victor was directly asked by Allegri to go back to Turin to rest first, and he was not even selected for the 18-man squad.The two starters are Llorente and French teenager Koeman.As for Qiao Wenke, who came out of Juventus youth training, in the winter transfer window, he was dissatisfied with his playing time and terminated his contract with Juventus in advance, and Juventus was also willing to let him go.After the termination of the contract, Giovinco joined the Toronto FC team of the American Major League, which had already discussed the salary, as a free agent, and the annual salary obtained made these Juventus teammates dumbfounded.

The annual salary is 1000 million US dollars.Almost 800 million euros a year, almost 16 euros a week.It is nearly 1 euros more than Tevez, Pogba and Victor, who are currently the highest paid in the Juventus team.

Well, don't mention Giovinco's salary again. After all, the United States and China have become the last choice for many European stars to "go for gold" before they plan to retire.And this Juventus away game against Parma, and Parma is just as guessed by the majority of football reporters and critics.

Lacking offensive ability, and the overall mind has been to fly to the Alpi Stadium in the UEFA Champions League quarter-knockout match against Monaco at home three days later, Juventus lost 1-0 to Parma in the away game.It was José Mauri who scored for Parma.Born in 1996 and under 20 years old, the young Italian midfielder is also one of the hopes for the future of Italy that Juventus has long been interested in.

However, Juventus is not so concerned about the outcome of this game, and so are the Juventus fans.Juventus fans are getting ready for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-elimination tie against Ligue [-] side Monaco at the Stadion Alpi in three days time.

However, after this game, the Juventus fans could only leave the Alpi Stadium with a fairly satisfied mood.The score of this game was 1 to 0, and Juventus achieved a very "affordable" score to win Monaco at home.

It was Victor who scored for Juventus.But this goal was a penalty, and Victor is now Juventus's first penalty shooter.Victor suddenly started, receiving a long pass from Pirlo that penetrated the Monaco defensive line and successfully reversed offside.But when he rushed into the Monaco penalty area, he was pulled down on the lawn by the Monaco players.Then he scored the penalty kick he created.

But after this game, the one who got the highest score of the Juventus team was not Victor, who scored the winning goal for Juventus, was not the peak of Juventus.Instead, it was the last line of Juventus' defense, Buffon as the goalkeeper, who scored a high score of 7.5 points.And Victor is only 7 points.

Let's take a look at why Buffon was able to get the highest score in this game.In fact, in this game, or the two rounds of the game, Allegri actually planned to use Juventus or the Serie A team to solve the game and win the final victory.

Therefore, in this game, the 4-3-1-2 formation of Juventus, the main force, also proved this point.However, as the only Monaco team in Ligue [-] that can compete with the Paris Saint-Germain team created by Jinyuan Football, there are also many talented players in the team.

For example, in the 10th minute of the first half, Martial, who broke through Bonucci, was one of them. Martial, who was born in December 1995, has already been considered by many European football reporters and football critics as "the next Henry." He was born in the Lyon youth training camp, and he was accepted by Monaco in the summer of 12. After buying at a price of 2013 million euros, he scored 500 goals in 11 games in the league immediately.Don't forget, he mostly played as a winger.And now Martial, with his outstanding performance in the league and the Champions League this season, it is conservatively estimated that his worth will start from 2 million euros.

And after he broke through Bonucci, he didn't take credit for it. Instead, he crossed and passed the football to Carrasco, who was unmarked in the middle of Juventus.In such a scene, the Monaco fans are already ready to start cheering and celebrating the goal.After all, they have seen such scenes many times in the league.However, Carrasco's strong shot was confiscated by Buffon's heroic fall to the ground.

In the second half, it was Buffon who repeatedly saved Juventus at the most critical moment.Within about 10 minutes before and after Juventus' goal, in the 54th minute, Bernanto Silva, who was trained by Benfica and born in 1994 with Portuguese nationality and full of potential, was first rejected. Front midfielder.A strong shot from the left side of the penalty area.

Then, in the 63rd minute, Kondogbia's lob from outside the penalty area was lifted off the crossbar.Keep the door open.

Therefore, after the game, as the "mouthpiece" of the Juventus team, the "Torino Sport" wrote in the comments:
"In this game, Victor's penalty allowed Juventus to win, but the Monaco team proved their strength. It is no accident that a group of young people can reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Their fast attack has repeatedly defeated Juventus. Create a threat. And Juventus's ability to keep a clean sheet is also due to Buffon's excellent save. But for the next 90 minutes of the away game, everything has to start again."

And "Gazzetta dello Sport" also expressed the same meaning,
"After winning the first round, Juventus only needs a draw in the second round, just like what they did in this game, to advance to the semi-finals. In the first half, Tevez and Vidal missed consecutive opportunities. After wasting more chances, Victor, who didn't get many chances in the whole game, decided the game with a penalty kick. Buffon is the key figure in Juventus' victory. Opportunities are blocked.”

The Juventus players, who won the home victory, easily defeated Lazio, who was somewhat desperate, 2-0 in the weekend league between the two Champions League games.Then, go to Monaco, the Juventus of this small country that has become a resort for gambling and tourism.At Monaco's home stadium, the Stade Louis II, a Juventus-style game was played.

The final score was 0-0 and Juventus won the game.And there seems to be only one sentence left for the Monaco players,
"You are still young, the future is yours." The words of this feeling.

It is indeed true, although after the opening, Chiellini made the Juventus fans feel tight again.When receiving a pass from his teammates, he suddenly slipped his foot, and the Monaco players rushed up, but Chiellini showed an "old ball ruffian" style.He reached out and flipped the football.

Although Chiellini received a yellow card for such an action, how could Juventus, which has already established a solid defensive formation, allow Monaco to score.In the next game, Juventus was also in Monaco's half, and they continued to interrupt Monaco's offensive rhythm near the center circle.But just a foul.

The young Monaco is gradually becoming more and more impatient. Although there are many shots, there are very few shots that can really pose a threat to Juventus' gate.Finally, the referee blew the final whistle of an increasingly boring game.The young Monaco team failed to reproduce their glory in the 2003-2004 season. The aggregate score of the two legs was 1-0, and Juventus entered the semi-finals of the Champions League.

After the game, Victor returned to the luxury hotel where the Juventus team stayed. After turning on his phone, he saw a text message from C-Ronaldo,
"See you in Turin."

And Victor immediately replied to the text message:
"See you in Madrid."
