This Naples team has repeatedly created miracles and won countless victories in later generations. This is partly due to the grassroots coach Mazzarri, and on the other hand, it is also because there are too many talented players in this team.
Naples is quite young now, and many talented new stars are gradually emerging.
Cavani, Lavezzi, Hamsik...many young stars have become Naples' main players.
In the midfield and backcourt, there are many experienced veterans, which makes this Naples team sharp in offense but solid in defense.
The main central defender of the Naples team, 30-year-old Paul Cannavaro, is the younger brother of Juventus assistant coach Fabio Cannavaro.
With this relationship, this game becomes even more complicated.
Seeing that coach Mazzarri and Yun Sheng seemed to have some verbal conflict, the Naples players who came later also glared at Yun Sheng and others, and almost no one paid them any attention.
Captain Paul Cannavaro, who was walking at the end of the team, stopped for a moment beside Yun Sheng. He nodded to his brother as a greeting, and then quickly ran onto the court to prepare for today's game.
Before the game even started, the two sides were already in a tense posture.
After the warm-up, the players from both sides went to the locker room to make final preparations. Fifteen minutes later, everyone was in place.
The referee blows the whistle and the game officially begins!
The commentators in the live broadcast room are still the combination of Di Livio and Vieri.
In last season's Serie A, any game between Juventus or Inter Milan belonged to this golden pair.
In order to ensure ratings, the Italian Professional League will make adjustments to the two-day Serie A, especially separating the games between Juventus and Inter Milan to ensure ratings on each match day.
The game has begun, and Di Livio is still studying Juventus' starting lineup today.
"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 is exactly the same as the last game. It can be seen that Yunsheng is quite satisfied with his lineup. Although the offense was blocked in the last game and was tied by the opponent, Juventus is still in excellent condition today. They It was a fierce attack on the road.”
Vieri on the side is more optimistic about Naples - or in other words, he is more optimistic about Juventus' opponents, which is the case in every game.
"I think Napoli has a higher winning rate in this game. On the one hand, they are playing at home, and on the other hand, they have a complete lineup and very strong players. The powerful center Cavani, the core midfielder Hamsik, and the winger Kuai Mara Vic, the backbone of the defense, Cannavaro...all these players will appear, which will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Juventus."
What Vieri said is indeed true. Napoli attacked very fiercely in this game.
It's not because of the unhappiness between Mazzarri and Yun Sheng before the game, or because the younger brother wants to show off in front of his older brother, but because Naples has offensive blood flowing in its body. This has been for a long time.
Since Maradona's time, this team has had a strong desire to win, and as time has passed, no matter what Naples' status in Italy is, whether it is glorious or sinking, their offensive spirit has never faded. , for decades, his toughness and offense have been one of the representatives of the southern Italian team.
"Hamsik was organizing in the midfield, Juventus was pressing higher, and he found a good opportunity to pass the ball!"
"Through the ball, the ball fell to the feet of winger Lavezzi! Lavezzi suddenly accelerated and got a good opportunity!"
"Driving the ball from the side, suddenly a low pass came in! Cavani outflanked the goal! Metzelder shoveled the ball out of the baseline first!"
"Juventus escaped!"
"This time it was Hamsik controlling the ball again. He chose to drive forward with the ball personally!"
"Diego didn't steal his ball! One-two between Hamsik and Pazienza!"
"A long shot from outside the penalty area! Buffon held the ball firmly! Hamsik's shot is the most threatening!"
Just ten minutes after the opening, Naples got two good chances to attack, but Juventus' defense was as solid as ever and did not give this grassroots team any chance.
After withstanding Naples' three opening attacks, Juventus' formation gradually moved forward, and several offensive players in the midfield and frontcourt became more and more active, creating opportunities near the Naples penalty area.
"Diego suddenly accelerated and used his excellent dribbling skills to get away from defender Macho!"
"Pass the ball to Del Piero! Del Piero hits Raul again! Raul shoots into the far corner of the goal!"
"Naples goalkeeper De Sanctis saves the ball! Raul's shot has an excellent angle, but the power is still a bit lacking!"
A few minutes later, Juventus' attack started again from the left.
"Guti was protecting the ball in the midfield. He did not take the shot easily. It was very dangerous at this time. If the ball was lost, the opponent would probably counterattack."
"Both Napoli midfielders came up! Hamsik made a tackle! Guti took a shot! The ball flew to Raul at the far end of the penalty area!"
"This long pass was just right! Raul volleyed in the penalty area! The ball went slightly wide! What a pity!"
"The passing and receiving cooperation between Guti and Raul just now was simply wonderful! This is such a cooperation that the two of them can only have after more than 20 years of tacit understanding from Real Madrid's youth team to the first team and then to the Spanish national team!"
"It's just a little bit behind! But during this period, Juventus' offense has become more and more fierce, and they are getting closer and closer to the goal!"
Di Livio in the live broadcast room was very excited and he was very optimistic about Juventus' situation.
After withstanding Naples' opening attack, Juventus has firmly controlled the game within its own rhythm.
His prediction was correct, and it didn't take long for Juventus to change the score on the field.
In the 28th minute of the game, Juventus got a good opportunity in the frontcourt.
This opportunity was created by central defender Metzelder. Gargano, who was dribbling forward with the ball, had no good chance to play the ball under Ballack's pressure. At this moment, Metzelder suddenly made a kill from the penalty area. He came out and made a decisive tackle to resolve the crisis outside the penalty area!
This pair of German national team partners used a wonderful defensive cooperation to make Naples' offense come to nothing.
Not only that, after Metzelder stole the ball, he directly poked the ball forward, and the ball flew just in time in front of the Brazilian genius who had already accelerated in advance!
Juventus' attack is back!
