Fame with a ball

After the league ended, a new term was gradually brought up by the fans, and it became hotly debated.

The word is: four-star Juventus.

It is a common rule in European football that when a club has won enough championships, they can embroider stars on the team emblem on the left chest of the jersey to show their honor.The rules for embroidering stars on jerseys are different in different leagues. Serie A and Bundesliga can embroider stars on jerseys after winning enough top league cups.

The Premier League, La Liga, and Ligue [-] do not have the custom of embroidering stars on their jerseys for winning top league titles. The three stars on Manchester City's jerseys represent that they can win three consecutive championships. .

In Italian football, in addition to the rule that a gold star can be embroidered on the jersey after winning ten top league titles, there is also a saying that one can embroider a silver star on the jersey after winning ten Coppa Italia titles.

Since the establishment of the Coppa Italia, Juventus has won 9 Coppa Italia championships. Soon, they will have the final of the 12-13 Coppa Italia. Once they can beat their opponents, they can immediately advance to become a four-star Juventus.

If the four stars come true, Juventus will create another record in Italian football.

The Juventini are very excited about this possibility. If this dream comes true, then they can completely come out of the shadow of the call time this time, hold their heads high, and rush at the fans of the Rossoneri and Nerazzurri They proudly said: The overlord of Italian football is back!

The urgent desire to wash away the shame of the past and regain the glory made the Juventini people attach great importance to the last game left this season. They spontaneously formed a cheering group of hundreds of people and waited outside the training ground every day. As soon as Juventus players or coaches appeared, they waved the slogan "We want four stars!" to cheer for the team.

As everyone knows, the mood of the fans put a lot of pressure on the club.

The club executives are under a lot of pressure, and they must vent these negative emotions-the team has become a good outlet.After Marotta talked to Capello, Capello ruthlessly extended the team's training time by two hours a day. By the time the players crawled out of the training ground, they were already hungry up.

Lin Zhigao resented this deeply. The villa area where he lived was half an hour's drive away from the training ground!In the past, after training, he could cook something for himself after driving home, or take some takeaway from a restaurant on the way.It's good now, the time to go home is delayed by a full two hours, even if you buy takeaway directly, many restaurants have passed their meals.

On the first day, Lin Zhigao ate a stomach full of junk food at night.The next day he told himself to go home and make pasta by himself, but he was really tired after leaving the training ground, so he bought a bunch of hamburgers, french fries and pizza to replenish his strength... By the third day, he thought he When he was going to be with high-calorie food for more than a week, John stepped on the colorful clouds, no, stepped on the accelerator of the Romeo sports car to save him.

John invited Lin Zhigao to live with him in one of his penthouses in the city center, and Lin Zhigao agreed without blinking an eye—he mainly wanted to eat, drink, and climb directly into bed after training Rest this up!

Although John insidiously put only one bed in the three-bedroom apartment, unfortunately, the two of them still failed to break through from NC13 to NC17.

There are many reasons: John is too busy, Lin Zhigao is too tired, the game is about to start, the team has to practice every day, the people living in this building are either rich or expensive, there are many gossip reporters stationed downstairs, it is not suitable Planting strawberries on a large scale... wait... until John starts to regret it-why does he always blame himself for nothing?

……

At 2013:5 pm on May 21, 7, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Dozens of cameras, hundreds of reporters, and 10 fans packed this UEFA 5-star venue to the brim. The colors in the stands are mostly blue and black or black and white, but there are also a lot of neutral fans in plain clothes. .

The Coppa Italia championship in the 12-13 season was jointly contested by Juventus and Inter Milan.

In the semi-finals, AC Milan was in poor form in the domestic competition due to the European war. Unfortunately, they were defeated by the Nerazzurri and missed the final of the Coppa Italia.Inter Milan's newly appointed coach Andre Stramaccioni is ambitious and wants to win a championship trophy as a signing gift for himself in the early days of coaching.

He has completely missed the league championship this season, but after he took over Inter Milan from the "fixer" Ranieri, he managed the team well, taking Inter Milan from the 9th place in the standings in two months Brought to the 5th place, barely qualified for the UEFA Cup, so it is not even possible to miss the European war.

Stella Maggioni is a head coach who likes to control the rhythm of the game. He mainly follows the technical flow. In the games he coaches, the team's games are usually good-looking, fast-paced, and more offensive.

This is in sharp contrast to Capello's coaching style, and given that Jiang is still old and hot, Inter Milan was suppressed by Juventus at the beginning of the game.

Inter Milan has a lot of ground conduction, and in the first three to 10 minutes of the game, they also got almost 80% of the ball possession rate. However, if there is no effective attack, no amount of ball possession and passing will be in vain. waste of energy.

Later, Sneijder, the core of Inter Milan, couldn't stand it anymore. He connected his teammates on the field. When he got the ball, he didn't blindly choose to pass the football to the outside, but dribbled the ball to the Juventus defense to make a breakthrough.

His adventure this time, because it was unexpected, unexpectedly received good results-he broke through to the vicinity of the Juventus penalty area, and successfully kicked the shot, but the ball was a little crooked and hit the goalpost. .

Sneijder, who failed to score for the team, was not depressed either. He clapped his hands with his teammates, thinking that if there is an attack, there will be gains, at least it has played a good role in boosting the morale of the team.

Off the field, Stella Maggioni felt his cheeks burning hot. His game plan was tampered with by the players. Even if it developed in a good direction, it was a very embarrassing thing for the head coach, because it meant that he The control over the locker room is not strong enough, and the players under him will rebel at any time.

So Stella Maggioni tried his best to hold back the red color. He stood on the edge of the court with a straight face and shouted: "Blind attack! Don't you all care about the overall situation? There are loopholes in the defense line !"

Stella Maggioni's yelling didn't have an immediate effect. Inter Milan striker Coraso was busy fighting for a header with Pepe at that time. After hearing the coach's words, he didn't care about other things. It wasn't until he failed in the header fight that he reluctantly moved his footsteps slowly and returned to the midfield.

On the other side of the coaching bench, Capello looked at Stella Maggioni's flushed face and secretly laughed: I knew you must have failed to train those stars of Inter Milan well, look, they don't listen to you at all !

……

Inter Milan's ball possession battle was not ineffective, at least it allowed the game to progress to the 8th minute of the second half, and the score remained at 0:0. Inter Milan temporarily controlled the situation of the game.

In the 55th minute, the football stuck to Sneijder's feet. This superstar from the Netherlands is the metronome of the entire Inter Milan offense and the dispatcher of the defense.Even with Lin Zhigao's super-high reflexes and speed, he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to break the football from Sneijder's feet.

There is no way to block the opponent, you can only wait for the opponent to pass the ball or make a mistake.

In the 63rd minute, Sneijder made a breakthrough into the Juventus penalty area. He made a slap in the face, pretending to pass the football to his teammate Milito on the left, but in fact, after passing the defense of Caceres, Kicked the ball into the penalty area.

There, guarding Inter Milan forward Pacini, Pacini immediately raised his foot to shoot after receiving the pass!

Buffon quickly judged the direction of Pazzini's shot, and then rushed towards the right of the goal, trying to hold the football out of the bottom line.

But Buffon slightly underestimated the power of Pacini's shot. He only relied on a few fingers, but failed to successfully hold the football out of the goal line.

In the end, the football hit his finger and got into the net!

Inter Milan 1:0 Juventus!

Excitedly, Stella Marjoni jumped up from the coach's bench, waved his fist and shouted!

Not far from his side, Capello watched all this coldly.

It's not surprising that Juventus conceded first, as they rarely got the ball, and in the first 50 minutes of the game, their possession rate was only a miserable 30%.

But they are in no hurry.

Because all the Juventus players are waiting for an inflection point-the inflection point where the Inter Milan players' physical strength decreases in order to control the ball, and their speed and reaction ability slow down.

Of course, Stella Maggioni is not stupid. He also knows that in order to play a technical ball possession battle, the physical strength of the players is a major item that must be considered. The pinch is extremely precise, and only then can the rhythm of the game be completely controlled in the hands, and only then can the fruit of victory be tasted.

But the main difference between older people and younger people is that the former have what the latter are most afraid to compare—experience.

Capello's experience is enough to tell him when it is most appropriate to launch a counterattack.And Stella Magioni's reaction was a little slower.

In the 60th minute of the game, under Capello's signal, Juventus finally launched a stormy counterattack.

It just so happened that at this time, Stella Maggioni was waving his hand and asking Inter Milan to step up their attack because of his confidence in the goal just now!

A confrontation battle is ready to go!

Players from both sides gathered in the midfield, chasing the black and white football full of gunpowder.

Grosso broke Inter Milan's ball and ran with his big foot. The ball flew high into the air towards Inter Milan's half.

Lin Zhigao ran after the football at the same speed as flying. Like him, Inter Milan's No. 10 player Sneijder also arrived at the football landing point at the same time.

Sneijder has superb skills at his feet. If it is a 1-on-1 confrontation, Lin Zhigao may not be able to match him. However, if he is only catching the pass and fighting for speed and reaction ability, Sneijder may not be able to defeat Lin Zhigao. up.

What's more, this ball is obviously a header!But Sneijder's height is only 170!

With just a light jump, Lin Zhigao was more than half of Sneijder's body taller.

The football first landed on his chest, and then Lin Zhigao skilfully stopped and slid the ball to his feet.

Then he didn't pause for a moment, like Dao Feng, he cut through the entire half of the court in an instant, and rushed towards the goal!

After running for about [-] minutes, the Inter Milan defenders who were severely exhausted were unable to defend Lin Zhigao strongly. They just watched the black and white wind, and in the blink of an eye, they shook off their exhaustion. And a dull body, and then went straight to the goalkeeper for a single shot!

Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar reacted very quickly. He rushed to Lin Zhigao, his nerves were tense, and his eyes were paying close attention to Lin Zhigao's every move.

I saw Lin Zhigao directly raised his right foot, his legs stretched back high, maybe this ball was a powerful volley.

The opponent is so close to the goal, Cesar must predict the direction of the opponent's shot in advance.

left side, right side?Cesar intuitively felt that the opponent would attack to the left of the goal, so his body unconsciously leaned to the left.

but!

What Lin Zhigao just did was a cover!

Just when Cesar thought his foot was about to hit the ball, Lin Zhigao abruptly withdrew the power on his right foot, changing from a volley to a push, and the football just rolled on the ground and rushed towards the ball. In the middle of the goal!

Cesar quickly fell to the ground to block the ball!

But when his body fell heavily on the turf, the football had already run behind him!

The ball is in!

……

1:1 level!

Inter Milan and Juventus have once again returned to the same starting line!

And now, there are only 25 minutes left before the end of the game!

Cheers and boos coexisted in the Olympic Stadium in Rome, and cheers and insults complemented each other.

In this game regardless of the home and away teams, the number of Inter Milan fans, Juventus fans and neutral fans is almost the same. This also caused no matter which side takes the ball or which side attacks, there are people cheering and others booing.

On the field, the Inter Milan players whose physical strength is gradually exhausted can no longer maintain the advantage of ball possession, and the ball possession rate on the field gradually becomes [-]-[-], or [-]-[-].

Stella Maggioni made a change, replacing two exhausted players in one go.And Capello also took the opportunity to make substitutions, replacing Vucinic with Verratti.

In the corner that Lin Zhigao didn't pay attention to, Nagatomo Yuu played.

This Japanese international player has outstanding speed, superior physical strength, and firm will. Although he does not have the potential to become a football superstar, he must not be underestimated. He is the kind of founder-style role that any team needs.

As soon as Changyou Yudu came on the field, he aimed at Lin Zhigao.

Every defender on the court has his own imaginary enemy, fantasizing about shoveling world-famous stars off the court in a certain game.Stella Marcioni did not assign Nagatomo Yudu a special stalking task, but this does not mean that Nagatomo Yudu himself did not focus on the target of stalking.

Almost every match between Juventus and Inter Milan, Nagatomo stubbornly focused on Lin Zhigao, but unfortunately, so far he has not succeeded in defeating the opponent once, which makes Nagatomo couldn't help but think of when he returned to China in January this year, his teammate Kagawa Shinji asked him: "Who is better between me and Lin Zhigao?"

At that time, Nagatomo Yuto's answer was: "I think you each have their own merits."

But now, Nagatomo Yudu doesn’t dare to say this sentence again with such certainty, because he seems to have faintly discovered that the Chinese player galloping in the Serie A field, even though he was still playing against him in the Super Cup last year. He seemed a bit immature, but his growth over the past year has been astonishing, and he has vaguely looked like a world-class player.Compared with him, although Shinji Kagawa has gained a lot in the Bundesliga, his achievements are still not enough.

Thinking of next year's World Cup in Brazil, Nagatomo took a deep breath, and quickly moved in the direction of Lin Zhigao - judging from the current results of the Chinese team, it is inevitable that they will reach the group stage.Once the Japanese team and the Chinese team both enter the World Cup, the chances of meeting will be very high.From the moment Lin Zhigao joined the Chinese team, Nagatomo Yudo has regarded him as his greatest enemy. For the glory of Japanese football, he must make good use of the convenience of playing in Serie A to treat the biggest player of the Chinese team. The trump card needs to be studied thoroughly.
