The game ended on August 30. After a day's rest, they returned to the team for training, but soon the players would leave the team again.
Because this weekend will usher in the national team match day, many national team friendly matches are fiercely underway. This is also an opportunity for the national team to train.
Especially after the 2010 World Cup, all national teams are facing reconstruction, and their lineups and playing styles have also undergone great changes.
Most of the Juventus team are national players, and for the players who do not have national team assignments, Yunsheng simply gave them the opportunity to return to China for a short-term vacation and let them have a good rest.
After the national team match day is over, the players have returned to Turin City, and Juventus is about to usher in the second round of Serie A.
Many people say that Juventus has a better schedule this season, but Yunsheng knows very well that this schedule is actually not easy.
In the first four rounds of the league, Juventus faced Udinese, Naples, Fiorentina and Palermo.
The final rankings of these four opponents last season were: 15th, 6th, 11th, and 5th.
Looking at it this way, it’s not too difficult.
But Yun Sheng knew very well that in the parallel world of later generations, the final rankings of these four opponents this season were: fourth, third, ninth, and eighth.
All are ranked in the front row of the standings, and there are two strong teams ranked in the top four and have tickets to the Champions League!
Who said these four opponents are easy to deal with!
Each one is a tough nut to crack!
On September 12, Juventus visited Naples to challenge this powerful team at the Sao Paulo Stadium, which can accommodate 55,000 people.
As the third largest stadium in Italy, the Stadio San Paolo is second only to the San Siro (Meazza) Stadium and the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. It is also the stadium where the football king once lived.
But when he came here today, Yun Sheng felt a little confused: "Why is the attendance rate so low? Is the stadium half full?"
Cannavaro, who was beside him, explained: "Although Naples is the largest city in southern Italy, the unemployment rate here is extremely high and the economy has declined rapidly in recent years, so the stadium attendance has not been too high. Wait a minute After a while, all the fans came into the stadium, and at best it was only about half full."
Speed looked at the empty stands and shook his head repeatedly: "This is not a professional football stadium. Because of the track, the first-floor stands make it uncomfortable to watch the game, and I heard that it is generally not open to the public due to facilities and security issues. When I participated in Europe before, I saw that many Serie A teams had this common problem at home."
"When we play in the Premier League, the atmosphere is much better. The home stadiums of Premier League teams are almost all professional football stadiums. Even the teams in the Championship and even League One, many have their own exclusive football stadiums. Fans and players The distance was very close and the shouts could be heard very clearly.”
Cannavaro joked: "After you get into a fight with the fans, it's easy to give them a flying kick."
Speed smiled: "That kind of situation is rare. We British gentlemen would not do that."
Yun Sheng recalled his experience in the Bundesliga: "The atmosphere of Bundesliga games is also very good, and the professional stadiums are also great. Moreover, Bundesliga tickets are very cheap and ordinary people can afford them, so the attendance rate is relatively high. Unlike the tickets for Premier League games, So expensive."
Cannavaro spread his hands: "Anyway, the Serie A football market is really not very good. Except for our strong northern team and Roma City, the attendance of other teams is very low, especially these southern grassroots teams. Team."
The three people were chatting when suddenly an angry voice came from behind: "We are just a grassroots team, so what? Aren't you Juventus known as the hegemon of Serie A? Wasn't your ranking last season still inferior to grassroots teams like us?"
Yun Sheng and the others looked back and saw a burly middle-aged man standing behind them, who looked to be in his 40s.
But Yun Sheng quickly recognized him, Naples coach Walter Mazzarri!
Yun Sheng came forward to say hello in a friendly manner and explained: "Coach Mazzarri, you just misunderstood. We were just casually talking about the attendance of the stadium, and we were not targeting Naples."
But Mazzarri did not listen to his explanation, but snorted coldly: "Yunsheng, you are young and energetic. You have won ten championships in three years since your debut, and you have also become the youngest coach to win the Champions League. You are a genius. , others are afraid of you, but we at Naples are not afraid of you! What you just said is right, we are grassroots, the kind of grassroots that can overthrow big trees! Even if you coach Juventus, I am still confident that I can overthrow you. If you don’t believe it, let’s just wait and see!”
After venting his anger, Mazzarri angrily walked to the home team's coaching bench without even shaking hands with Yun Sheng.
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and Yun Sheng smiled bitterly: "This guy misunderstood us."
Speed shook his head: "We just used the word 'grassroots', which does mean a bit to look down on people."
But Cannavaro didn't care: "So what! They are weak, even if they are looked down upon by me, they deserve it!"
Looking at Cannavaro's arrogant look, Yun Sheng thought to himself that although his arrogance was a bit excessive, it was precisely because of this spirit that he became the best defender in world football.
Yun Sheng glanced sideways at Mazari, who was not far away. Mazari no longer looked at Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng was deeply impressed by this Mazari.
This outstanding Italian football coach is indeed, as he just said, a complete grassroots player.
When he was a young player, he frequently moved between Serie A and Serie B. Although he worked hard, he did not achieve much.
After officially becoming the head coach in 2001, he also coached in low-level leagues for a long time and accumulated experience.
In the summer of 2006, Mazzarri received an invitation from Sampdoria, and this grassroots coach finally had the opportunity to coach a traditional giant. In his first season as coach, Sampdoria finished sixth in Serie A, and he became famous in Italian football.
However, in the second season, Sampdoria ranked only 13th in the league, but they swept Inter Milan in the Italian Cup and reached the final.
Since taking charge of Naples in October 2009, he has also led Naples to the top six at the end of the season, defeating strong teams such as Juventus and Fiorentina and winning a ticket to the European war.
In the parallel world of later generations, Mazzarri achieved great success in Naples.
Under his leadership, Napoli won the Italian Cup, finished second in the league, dominated the Champions League group stage, and even nearly defeated Chelsea, who later won the championship, in the knockout round.
Such grassroots Mazari cannot be underestimated.
And this Naples team has a group of talented players!
