Standing in the Turin Olympic Stadium, Yun Sheng looked around and felt quite emotional.
The previous "International Turin Cup" competition was held here. Before the start of Serie A, Yunsheng also specially arranged for the team to leave the training ground every day and come here to train and get the feeling of a formal game in advance.
This stadium, which can accommodate 35,000 people, is not very big, especially compared with the home stadiums of other top European clubs. You must know that Rome's home stadium, the Rome Olympic Stadium, can accommodate more than 100,000 people. Comparing the two golf courses, they are simply heaven and earth.
But there is no way, after all, Juventus' home stadium "Juventus Arena" is being renovated and will not be officially put into operation next year. In recent years, Juventus has had to temporarily use the "Olympic Stadium of Turin", the home stadium of the local team Turin, for games.
Although it is just a home court, it has a great impact on the players' hearts.
In the parallel world of later generations, there are many situations where team performance is affected by changing stadiums.
For example, when Tottenham faced the renovation of White Hart Lane, they temporarily moved to Wembley Stadium. During that time, Tottenham's home performance was extremely poor and their league ranking was also very unstable.
During the reconstruction phase of Arsenal's home stadium, Highbury Stadium, the Gunners' performance continued to decline and was very unstable.
Therefore, this season, Yunsheng is quite worried about Juventus' home games.
But he was gratified that the home fans were very enthusiastic about him.
When the team just warmed up and he entered the stadium, all the fans gave him warm applause, and even many fans of his opponent Udinese applauded him.
This applause is dedicated to the youngest Champions League champion coach in history. Italian fans never begrudge their applause when facing outstanding coaches and players.
Serie A fans are definitely some of the most knowledgeable fans in the world.
On the sidelines of the court, Yunsheng and Udinese coach Marino shook hands in a friendly manner. Although the two parties did not know each other, the Italians' strict etiquette requirements still made the two look very friendly.
However, Yun Sheng knew very well that once the game started, the friendship between the two sides would instantly drop to zero.
After the pre-match warm-up, the Juventus general returned to the locker room, and Yunsheng also conducted a pre-match mobilization training for the first time as Juventus coach.
"Guys, when I came to the team, I told you that my goal this season is to win all championships, and my goal is naturally the team's goal and your goal!"
"I am very confident in your strength and condition, and I am also confident in this game. I don't have much to say. Regarding tactics, I have asked you countless times on the training ground. We have only one goal in this game. , is to defeat the opponent and get three points!”
"Only by fighting for every game can we win until the end! Guys, it's time for the Serie A championship trophy to return to Turin. The journey home for the champion begins with this game!"
At this time, in the live broadcast room, Di Livio and Vieri, the golden commentary team of Sports 3, were giving their final commentary before the game.
Di Livio looked at the Juventus starting list on the screen and introduced it carefully.
"Today Juventus arranged a 4-3-2-1 formation: goalkeeper Buffon, defenders from left to right are Chiellini, Barzagli, Metzelder and Motta, and three midfielders from left To the right are Guti, Ballack and Diego, the two shadow forwards are Del Piero and Raul, and the center is Trezeguet."
"This lineup has been tested in the just-concluded summer friendly match, and the test results are very satisfactory. The new Juventus under Yunsheng won the International Turin Cup, which proves that his transformation of Juventus is effective. .”
As soon as Di Livio finished speaking, Vieri objected.
"I'm not optimistic about this Juventus team!"
"What did you just say, that just because of the victory in the friendly match, it proves that the transformation of Juventus is effective? This is too unconvincing. When will Yunsheng rely on this tactic to defeat Milan and Rome? If the team is overturned, then it can prove that his tactics are effective."
"Besides, just relying on these old guys in Juventus' team, they can't even hope to win the championship this season! Let alone the championship, they can't even get a spot in the European competition, I'm sure!"
"What can an offensive line with an average age of 33 do? Except for Diego, the midfield and frontcourt are all old guys. I even played with them! I have retired, and they can still play at Juventus. Main player? Juventus has really fallen now."
Di Livio said calmly: "What's wrong with the veteran? Can't the veteran perform at his top level? I don't think so. When I joined Fiorentina, I was 33 years old. Why don't I still lead Fiorentina back to Serie A?"
Vieri shook his head: "That's different. The current Juventus team is seriously aging. I believe that Agnelli invited Yunsheng to rebuild the team and promote some new players. It turned out that he was not good, and the new players were not bought. A few, but there are more old guys. Agnelli, the new chairman, is too young and doesn’t know how to employ people. Look at our big international Mourinho, he is the hottest boss in the world now. coach."
Di Livio smiled slightly: "Didn't Yun Sheng kill the guy you called the hottest in last season's Champions League final?"
Vieri: "Can't you talk about something else?"
DiLivio: "I just love this topic."
Vieri: "I won't talk to you anymore, the game has begun. Do your business and commentate on the game."
The two people in the live broadcast room were arguing, and the referee on the court had already blown the whistle to start the game.
The whistle sounded, and Juventus, who took the first kick, quickly launched an attack.
Yunsheng deployed all his main players in this game. Facing Udinese, who was not very strong, Yunsheng urgently needed a victory to boost Juventus' morale and stabilize his military morale.
After all, this is his first time coaching a top European club, and the pressure now is much greater than during Cottbus and Monaco.
However, the strength gap between the two sides today is not small, and Juventus has the absolute advantage on the scene.
"Barack and Guti passed the ball continuously in the midfield, and the Udinese players couldn't grab the ball at all."
"Diego received the pass and suddenly moved forward! He shook off a defensive player!"
"Pass the ball to Del Piero, who takes a long shot! The ball slides out, just a stone's throw away from the goal!"
"Juventus' offense is up again, this time it's the cooperation of Raul and Trezeguet."
"After Raul attracted the defense, he made a wonderful pass!"
"Trezeguet was unmarked! A powerful header! The ball was saved by goalkeeper Handanovic! Udinese escaped again!"
