Fame with a ball

When the time entered February 2013, Juventus' events began to gather together and entered a relatively intensive period.

At the end of January, the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia. If they can win by chance, the first half of the semi-finals will be in the first half of February, and the second round of the semi-finals will be in early April.In mid-February, the first round of the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid, and in early March, the second round.Not to mention the Serie A, which is basically one game a week.

So many important games had to be played in one breath, which made Capello very headache recently.

When a team faces a third-line battle, it is basically impossible for all three lines to answer dazzling results. Therefore, there must be a choice in the main goal of the team.

Originally, Capello's most important thing was the Champions League, but one-eighth of Juventus' opponents were Real Madrid. Before the start of the quarter-finals, a series of training must be done for Real Madrid's tactical formation, and the starting lineup must be arranged reasonably to preserve the physical strength of the main players.

This means that for the Champions League, part of the possibility of winning cups and leagues must be given up.

Of course, it's okay to give up the league temporarily. Anyway, the league is only halfway through now. Even if you give up a few games, you can seize the opportunity to catch up with the points in the next few months.

But what about the Coppa Italia?The Coppa Italia match and the UEFA Champions League one-eighth match are obviously on schedule. Capello is hesitating how to make a choice: should he seize the opportunity to hit the Champions League?Or go in peace and stability, temporarily give up the Champions League this year, but do a good job in cups and leagues?

After a few days of almost painful consideration, Capello still decided that he could not sacrifice the cup and league for the Champions League.

Juventus is currently on the road to revival, yes, and they have taken the most critical steps-a good start is more important than anything else.

The Champions League is of course the best occasion for Juventus to declare to the whole of Europe that they have risen again, but only focusing on the Champions League and ignoring domestic competitions will make Juventus' situation extremely dangerous-ac Milan still dominates the league table, and Uzbekistan Strong teams such as Dines and Lazio are watching behind them. At present, the most important thing is to keep their qualifications for next year's European competition and try their best to return home with a cup championship.

Of course, giving up the Champions League does not mean just not doing anything in the game and letting Real Madrid slaughter it.The meaning of giving up means not to specially train the entire team because of the game against Real Madrid, nor to deliberately refrigerate the main players before the game, in order to let them play their best in the Champions League.

Being able to break into the top [-] of the Champions League this year is already the best result of Juventus in recent years. In the following games, it is best to have a big upset. His performance on the field has been recognized by fans and club executives.

And think about the good side, Juventus is playing steadily, if they can win the Coppa Italia, if they can win the league, then plus the Italian Super Cup champion before the season, isn't it another triple crown?

……

On January 1, the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, Juventus played against Rome at home.

In the end of the game, Juventus narrowly beat Rome with a score of 1:0. It's not that Juventus performed too badly, but that Rome's performance was too strong.Although they are in a battle, their momentum is not inferior to Juventus at home. Roman Prince Totti is in a brave state. Although he failed to score in the end to equalize the score for the team, it is all because of his five feet that are very threatening. The powerful shot did not allow Juventus to expand the score.

The performance of this 37-year-old veteran, who is one year older than Di Natale, conquered all the fans present, and in the media reports after the game, most of them used "Totti's heroic posture is not diminished, and he can still shoot powerfully at the age of 37." Make the opponent unable to parry" is the main content.

And Lin Zhigao, starting from this game, began to embark on his long journey of collecting star jerseys.In the game against Roma, Totti must of course be chosen for the exchange of jerseys!The demeanor of Prince Roman was also excellent. Almost at the same time when Lin Zhigao took off his jersey, he also handed over his own jersey, and talked with Lin Zhigao with a smile.

On February 2th, in the 5nd round of Serie A, Juventus played against Siena.

Siena is currently the 13th team in the Serie A standings and is located in the province of Siena, Italy.This club has a very close relationship with Juventus. The representative color of their team logo is black and white like Juventus, and their jerseys are also black and white sword shirts. However, the difference is that Juventus’ team uniform is The whole body has black and white stripes, while Siena's jersey has a large white area on the chest, indicating the Siena team's words. Comedy of one's own.

In addition, Siena Football Club also has capital injection from the Fiat Group...

So in Italy and even the world football, Siena has a nickname called "Juventus Second Team".

Don't think that the two teams are like twin brothers in appearance and spirit, and the two sides will give in to each other on the court. In fact, the smell of gunpowder in this game is no weaker than any abnormal game in other Serie A leagues - the national derby, the same city derby matches are not included in the reference range.Siena played very hard in this game. The 13th place in the standings is not an insurance position. They want to fight for the top ten.

And two days ago, Juventus played a hard battle, the Coppa Italia game against Rome.Therefore, although some of the main players played in this game, they behaved as if they were sleepwalking. They could fall asleep immediately after stuffing a pillow under their heads, and they were very inactive in running.

And some other players, such as Lin Zhigao, were pushed on the bench by Capello and were not allowed to come out-this season's Coppa Italia schedule is really bad, the quarter-finals and semi-finals first place The bouts were less than ten days apart, so even if Lin Zhigao asked to play again and again, Capello had to hold him down and let him rest. He couldn't bear the blow of Lin Zhigao spending all his energy in the league and poor form in the cup. .

The game ended at 0:0. Neither Juventus, who was sleepwalking, nor Siena, who was playing normally, failed to break through the opponent's goal.

Although Lin Zhigao did not play in this game, after the game, he still went to the rest area of ​​Siena to exchange jerseys with Nicolo Gianetti.In order to achieve his goal, he doesn't mind making his skin a little thicker. Gianetti is a young striker born in 91 and is currently well-known in Italian football.However, Lin Zhigao would ask him to exchange jerseys, but he didn't hear about how powerful Gianetti was from somewhere. He took a fancy to his jersey number - No. 99.

There are a few people who have worn the No. 99 jersey, and most of them are superstars - Ronaldo in the AC Milan era, Lucarelli in the Lecce era, Baia in the Porto era, Cassano in the Sampdoria era, etc. wait.

Although there are 99 numbers on football jerseys, only the first 77 or 88 numbers are usually used. Premier League, La Liga and other leagues have very strict management of player jersey numbers. It is almost impossible for first-line players to have numbers similar to 99, [-], and [-]. Such a number, and the management of numbers in Italian football is not so strict, so big numbers can be seen everywhere here, which opened Lin Zhigao's horizons.

As a Chinese, Lin Zhigao has always been particularly fond of the auspicious numbers like 6, 8, and 9, especially when he stayed in the Premier League before and never saw a player wearing the No. When Nettie appeared on the field wearing the No. 99 black and white striped jersey, his eyes immediately became straight: No. 99 black and white sword shirt, what a rare item it is!

The eager deer in his chest leaped immediately, and as soon as the game was over, he scurried into Siena's mixed area in search of Gianetti.

Fortunately, Lin Zhigao's jersey exchange journey was very smooth, and it can even be said that it was too smooth.

When he stood in front of Gianetti and shyly asked for jersey exchange, Lin Zhigao was afraid that the other party would not agree—he thought he was not famous enough, and he didn’t play in this game, so he came to ask rashly. If the opponent takes off his jersey to himself, will he be rejected?

Unexpectedly, Gianetti readily agreed to Lin Zhigao's request!Not only that, he also asked Lin Zhigao to take a photo with him and sign his jersey.

Ha, finally Gianetti himself admitted that he is a fan of Lin Zhigao!

……

The league is over and it's the cup again. On February 2, in the first round of the Coppa Italia semi-final, Juventus played Palermo first.

All Juventus players have an urge to thank God desperately-the schedule of matches during this period is simply fatal!Playing four games in half a month, right?Two cup games and two league games are fatal!Those who are in a hurry are not in such a hurry!Fortunately, the opponent drawn was Palermo!If AC Milan... God, let us die.

Yes, AC Milan and Inter Milan also broke into the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia at the same time.

Now you know how lucky Juventus is!

The three heroes of Serie A collectively entered the semi-finals of the cup, but they were drawn to the slightly weaker Palermo!Cough, I don't mean to discriminate against Palermo here... It's just that it is not strong enough compared to the Milan duo.

Now the whole of Italy is lamenting the good luck of Juventus, especially the fans in Milan, they are thinking that Juventus is simply the illegitimate son of God and his old man, and some dark-minded fans speculate whether it is Juventus What kind of big red envelopes did you send to the Italian Football Association, otherwise how could they draw so well!

You know, AC Milan is also the team that broke into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and their opponent is still the tough Arsenal in the Premier League.Although Juventus was worse in the Champions League draw, the current situation is that Juventus can obviously beat Palermo without consuming so much vitality, and then prepare for the Champions League with all their strength.

But what about AC Milan, does Allegri (Milan coach) dare to give up any of these games?The Milan Derby is a matter of face, and the relationship between the rivals in the same city prevents AC Milan from shrinking back in this game!And what about the Champions League?This is pinned on the club's board of directors and the expectations of all fans!

No matter which game was given up by Allegri, no, it was seen by the fans that he gave up, then he will definitely suffer a strong war of words, so Allegri or something is the most bitter.

In the end, in the first round of the Coppa Italia semi-final, AC Milan lost 1:2 to Inter Milan, and Juventus beat Palermo 2:1.

After the first match, the four teams will have the second round at the beginning of April. After the match, almost all AC Milan fans are roaring crazily: Football Association, did you grow up eating Shi! The intense competition in February is exhausting, so why is it dragging on for another month and a half!It's all your fault that we lost! ! !

When the first game between Juventus and Palermo ended, Lin Zhigao was holding the jersey of Palermo No. 88 (ha, this time it is No. 88!) and returned to the Juventus half. The teammates questioned suspiciously.

"Hey Lin, have you been collecting jerseys lately?"

"I don't think it's collecting jerseys but numbers. Last time it was 99, this time it's 88... Lin, what's wrong with you, have you started collecting numbers?"

Decherie picked his nose and interjected, "I think Lin likes this jersey."

Lin Zhigao glanced at Palermo's pink jersey with his mouth twitching, and shook his head firmly: "Absolutely not!"

"Don't deny Lin!" De Qie Lie smirked, intending to lean over to hook Lin Zhigao's shoulders, but Lin Zhigao was terrified of his fingers that had just picked his nose, and hid in advance.

This made Deche list a bit of revenge, and he shouted: "Lin, you just like Palermo's pink jersey! Otherwise, why did you run over to exchange with others? Brasi Didn't even play during the game!"

Just when Lin Zhigao was scratching his head and preparing to explain, Capello suddenly passed behind him quietly, paused, and said: "From next season, the color of our jersey will be changed to pink... umm , which looks similar to the one in Palermo."

Lin Zhigao: ...

Pepe and all the Juventus players:! ! !

Lin Zhigao sincerely hoped that his teammates would not take all the blame on himself.

……

Lin Zhigao changed his jersey with a player of the opposing team almost every game, which not only aroused the curiosity of his teammates, but also attracted strong attention from the Italian and Chinese media.

In fact, many professional players have the hobby of collecting jerseys. They are keen to collect the jerseys of superstars and ask for their signatures. After retiring, they treat these as a precious collection and hardly sell them. They all set up a special storage room to keep them safe.After all, the professional career of most players is only a short ten years, and it is too common to keep some precious memories for themselves.

The reason why Lin Zhigao’s collection behavior has attracted wide attention from the media comes from a news disclosed by an employee of Juventus’s logistics department—they received a notice from the team’s assistant coach Mr. Ferrari three days ago, asking them to hurry up. Made 30 Lin Zhigao jerseys.

As for the use?

Mr. Ferrari inadvertently complained to the head of the logistics department: "Lin said that five jerseys are not enough for him in one season. I told him that the jerseys that the team configures are very strong and well-made. It's been one season, two seasons won't break, and he can wait until it wears out before claiming it. But Lin said 'five pieces a season? That's definitely not enough! I can replace them all in a month!'"

Only then did the staff in the logistics department know that Lin Zhigao had a new habit of collecting jerseys recently. Given that Lin Zhigao is still quite famous in the Apennines, he is considered to be the best foreign aid player in Serie A. The media exposure is close to Zlatan Ibrahim Simovic, so they quickly sold the news to journalists for a small fortune.

Stars are keen on collecting jerseys. This is just a small hobby, but if the media really wants to hype, they can also dig out fresh materials from it. For example-Lin Zhigao, why is there such a big difference between the people you exchanged jerseys with?

The reporter of "Turino Sport" summarized the stars who exchanged jerseys with Lin Zhigao. From the Premier League to Serie A, the well-known ones are: Irving, Van Persie, Messi, Di Natale, Totti, Gianetti, Mchelize.

The top five players are all superstars, and Messi is now being called the king of the ball by more and more people.But what about the last two?Out of the Apennines, does anyone know who they are?The two of them can't even be called the absolute main force of the team.

The boring reporters wrote a lot of nonsense, and when the readers who bought newspapers were about to collapse because of Lin Zhigao, they finally agreed to say something slightly useful: "Lin Zhigao exchanged jerseys. The standard is probably that it is mainly inclined to superstars, and then there are more interesting numbers, such as 88 and 99 jerseys, which are not often seen in other leagues, and these two numbers are said to have special meanings in China."

"So can we guess, next week, when Juventus ushers in a match with Real Madrid, who will he choose to exchange jerseys with? Ronaldo? Kaka? Benzema? Ozil? Or Pepe ? Casillas? And the Real Madrid superstars, what will their reaction be?"
