523 , Turin's Rain Battle

"Some experts commented that this game was AC Milan's first tough battle in strict terms this season, and it was a touchstone to truly test the strength of this team. What do you think about this?"

At the pre-match press conference on October 5, a reporter asked this question.

Although he is not the captain of the team, Long Shute still serves as the club's informal official spokesperson:

"I have to remind you kindly, Mr. Journalist, your problem is a great disrespect for our top six opponents. In my eyes, they are no different from Juventus. I will do my best to treat every opponent."

Long Shute refused to jump into the pit, and the reporter couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but the player changed his mind and took the initiative to raise a big flag for himself.

"Last season, the media once claimed that the gate guarded by Buffon was my biggest nemesis, and now... we can give it a try."

Buffon, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help but sneeze:

Is there any truth?

The emperor superstar, two-time Golden Ball Mr., actually openly claimed that he wanted to bully my young player Buffon!

October 6th.

Light rain has fallen above Turin City since the morning, and the entire Juventus Arena is covered with a thin layer of rain.

It was a headache to rain. Vice captain Kaka twisted his ankle during the morning warm-up activity. Although it was not an injury, looking at his red and swollen ankles, Allegri could only cross out his name from the starting lineup.

The captain's armband was also worn on the arm of the oldest goalkeeper Abiati.

"You know, I hate rainy days."

When walking out of the player channel, Balotelli, who was standing at the end of the team, said to Long Shute.

His face was filled with the sadness of the literary youth, and then he continued to explain:

"Because I can't see my favorite fireworks..."

Long Shute rolled his eyes, then reached out and patted the back of his head:

"If your post-match rating exceeds 8 points in this game, I'll let you see what real fireworks are!"

Balotelli's eyes glared in an instant:

"I feel like I'm full of infinite power! Buffon, I'm here!"

Buffon, who was standing in front of Juventus's queue, couldn't help but look back at him.

What did Mario call me for?

-

"The media often says that Italy's football market has declined in recent years. Although it is a bit regrettable, it is an indisputable fact. Whether from the investment of each club in the annual transfer market, the salary level of the players, to the league's TV broadcasting expenses, advertising endorsement income, game attendance rate, to the game live broadcast technology, league packaging level, Serie A cannot compare with the Premier League, Bundesliga, and La Liga, some people attribute these issues to one factor, that is, economic issues, and perhaps it is not unreasonable."

Of course, Zhan Tianjun personally took the lead in this super highlight. After all, since the former Serie A commentator Huang Feixiang left CCTV, he has been very lazy in his job due to various reasons. He can only rely on his former popularity and old man to make him familiar with him, and he is far from being as brave as he used to be.

After the players on both sides observed silence for the refugee ship that sank near Lampedusa on October 3 (about 350 people died), Zhan Tianjun also began to talk:

"For each club, one of the major reasons that restricts their economy is the stadium. Among the 20 clubs in Serie A, only Juventus has its own independent stadium, and the other 19 home stadiums rent local stadiums, and the two Milanese players rent a venue.

In this way, not only will the club not be able to get the big head for ticket revenue, but more importantly, the equipment update, repair and expansion of the stadium must be approved by the local government and the parliament before it can be implemented. We all know that once something needs to be approved by the government, the time period will not be too short..."

"Your analysis makes sense," said guest Zhang Lu:

"In fact, many stadiums in Italy are not only small in capacity, but also the venues are often old and the maintenance situation is not optimistic. There are often many things happening in terms of security and order, so many fans would rather choose to watch the game at home through paid channels than go to the scene. To improve this situation, the entire Italian football world has a long way to go."

"That's right," Zhan Tianjun nodded and brought the topic back. "Okay, with the whistle of referee Gianluka Rocky, this highly anticipated strong dialogue kicked off!"

-

Kaka's accidental injury disrupted Allegri's troops and also affected Long Shute's plan.

After all, with Kaka's current physical fitness, it is not realistic to make him a big shot as the main attacker and attack his opponents on the field, but it is not very suitable for him to attract firepower for his teammates on the field and complete the last attack at the right time.

Even when he was most disappointed, the Brazilian king still had world-class consciousness and vision. What's more, he has returned to his peak state of 90%. If such Kaka is willing to be a deputy to Long Shute, he will definitely be a terrifying group of partners!

But unfortunately, in this stadium, Kaka could only sit in the stands helplessly and become the most ordinary audience.

-

This stadium in Juventus was rebuilt by the club after experiencing the trough of the phone gate and was rebuilt on the basis of the demolition of the old stadium. It was not officially opened in 2011.

As Zhan Tianjun said, the Italian government's work efficiency was extremely inefficient. In order to buy the ownership of the stadium, Juventus took six years to negotiate! Then the local government evaluated and approved the demolition and reconstruction plan submitted by the club... and took another seven or eight years!

And this is a domestic giant like Juventus...

If it is another club, it may cost a greater price.

So you should know why the Italian team has no stadium of its own...

-

This new stadium at Juventus is quite modern, but has a capacity of only 41,000 seats. It is obvious that the club has no money, but because they have conducted a rigorous assessment of the current market.

Although the Del Alpes Stadium had 69,000 seats, its attendance rate has been below 70% for a long time, reducing the capacity to 41,000, which will not have much impact on ticket revenue. Instead, it can make the team's home atmosphere more lively.

Due to the cancellation of the previous track, the distance between the stands and the field will be greatly reduced, and home fans can put more pressure on the away players.

Under such pressure, AC Milan began to challenge one of the strongest opponents this season so far.

-

"drop!"

Balotelli knocked the ball to Nian, who passed Longshute back and the game officially began.

Long Shute did not pass the ball to the defender or wing teammates as soon as possible according to the common starting method, but instead dribbled the ball forward.

Juventus forward Tevez was the first to rush in front of him, and without saying a word, he tried to intercept the ball from his feet.

The short Teves's feet were quite fierce, but Long Shute just made a false move to break outward and shook the Argentine beast away.

He had just dribbled the ball over the middle circle and rushed towards him three fierce men wearing black and white sword shirts.

Kovaward Assamoa, Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio are all midfielders who are known for their tough defense!

In front of the three strong men's joint siege, even Long Shute had to give the ball to Abate who followed from behind, and then passed through Vidal and Marchisio with empty feet.

Seeing that Long Shute began to speed up without the ball, Juventus' three midfielders also quickly turned around and chased back.

But where can they catch up?

Abat only dribbled the ball and advanced five small steps, then looked up at the middle and prepared to make a cross.

He only took five small steps, and Long Shute had already arrived at the top of Juventus's penalty area from the center arc.

Abate was not surprised by the speed of this midfielder, so his only idea now is to pass the ball well and get a beautiful assist.

But... the moment he raised his feet, a black and white figure rushed towards him.

Qualiarela rubbed the ball with her toes before the ball took off!

Damn it!

Abat curled his lips, his assist was gone!

The trajectory of the football has obviously changed drastically, and it flew directly over Long Shute's head and fell into Juventus' penalty area.

Balotelli leaned on Chiellini and wanted to pass it back to Longshute, but was kicked out by Bonucci, who had been stuck in the first place.

But the football still landed at the feet of the Milan player. Nocerino, who had quickly followed up from the middle, swung his thighs directly against the ball!

"Nocerino hit the ball!"

Zhan Tianjun just spit out this sentence, and his face couldn't help but change.

Because Nocerino... was flawed...

Perhaps it was due to rain. It was obviously a straight shot, but Nocerino kicked the ball towards the edge of the penalty area!

Nocerino couldn't help but hug his head. Why did he carry it like this?!

In the focus match against Juventus, as a midfielder, I am probably just one or two shooting opportunities in a game, and I’m wasted by myself!

As soon as he hugged the back of his head, he saw the football he kicked suddenly refracting on the edge of the penalty area!

Why is it refracted?

Nocerino's eyes widened.

Oh…there is black midfielder Montaly standing there!

Montali swears that in daily training routines, there is absolutely no such tactic to rush up and attack!

But he appeared inexplicably on the edge of the penalty area, watching Nocerino's "explosion shot" fly to him, and then he subconsciously stretched out his right foot, and the football changed its trajectory and flew into Juventus' goal unbiasedly!

Buffon twisted his neck with a dull look on his face.

This goal...just scored?

It’s not Longshute, not Balotelli, not Nion, or even Montolivo, Nocerino, these two midfielders with certain offensive abilities, but Montali, the most unstunningly beautiful!

I, Buffon, have a saying that I don’t know whether to say it or not!
Chapter completed!
