At 19:00 on October 3rd, the entire Juventus team appeared outside Cesena’s home stadium, the Dino Manucci Stadium, preparing for the game an hour later.
When the team bus entered the stadium, countless media reporters swarmed in, trying to dig out some news from the players. If it weren't for the many police and security guards outside the temporary passage, it is estimated that the Juventus general would not even be able to enter the stadium passage.
Although there were many reporters, the Juventus players all ignored Yunsheng's request, kept silent, and didn't look sideways. They wore headphones and quickly passed through the temporary passage set up by the security guards and walked quickly to the visiting team's locker room.
The members of the coaching staff led by Yun Sheng walked at the end. Facing the countless microphones that were stretched out, Yun Sheng had no intention of stopping and moved forward quickly.
Just when Yun Sheng was about to disappear at the entrance of the passage, a reporter closest to him shouted loudly: "Coach Yun Sheng, why don't you accept our interview? Are you afraid?"
Yun Sheng paused for a moment, then turned his head and looked at the reporter who spoke.
He didn't know the reporter, at least he wasn't a reporter from Italy's top media, he was probably just a tabloid paparazzi.
Seeing Yunsheng turn around, the reporter looked at Yunsheng triumphantly: "Coach Yunsheng, what do you think of this game? Can Juventus win its first win of the season here?"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yun Sheng, looking forward to Yun Sheng's answer.
Yun Sheng was silent for a moment. He opened his mouth slightly, but finally said nothing. He turned around and quickly walked towards the away team's locker room, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Huh, he's just not sure about this game, so he doesn't dare to speak!" The reporter who just yelled said proudly.
A reporter next to him also followed his words and said: "Yes, Yun Sheng is afraid! Every time he declared victory before, the team was defeated. It seems that he has no interest in the team. Have faith.”
"We are not even sure about facing the relegation team. Juventus will wait to go to the relegation zone this season! Hahahaha!"
The reporters were in jubilation, and several reporters from Turin in the crowd looked at each other speechlessly, frowning.
As the local media in Turin, they certainly hope that Juventus can get out of the predicament as soon as possible. In this case, they don’t have to rack their brains every day to help Yunsheng make up excuses for not winning...
Walking to the locker room, Cannavaro asked next to him: "Sir, why didn't you say anything to them just now?"
Yun Sheng shook his head and kept walking: "I don't want to spend any effort on them. I hope to use all my energy on this game! Observe every detail, discover every problem, and avoid every risk!" We must win this game!”
Hearing Yun Sheng say these words so decisively, Cannavaro glanced at Speed who was standing aside. Speed also had a serious face, walked a few steps quickly, and followed Yun Sheng into the locker room.
A few minutes later, the players left the locker room and ran to the court, and Yun Sheng also led the coaching staff out of the tunnel.
At the exit of the player tunnel, Yun Sheng met Cesena coach Marco Giampaolo.
This coach, who is just 43 years old this year, is also a well-known young coach in Italy.
In the Serie B last season, he led Cesena all the way to become the runner-up in Serie B. He was successfully promoted and started his coaching journey in the top league.
In the parallel world of later generations, Giampaolo later coached many Serie A teams, but none of them had any outstanding performances. His greatest achievement was that in June 2019, he was spotted by AC Milan and became the coach of the Rossoneri.
However, it only took him 111 days to bring Milan, which was full of confidence in the new season, to the fourth from the bottom in the league - only scoring 9 points in 7 league rounds and scoring only 6 goals. Such poor results made him a laughing stock in Italian football.
But since Giampaolo has been able to establish himself in Serie A for many years, he is not without merit. Defending desperately in the face of a strong team is one of his most important tools for survival. If he can take the opportunity to score a sneak attack, then the game will be considered a win.
Some fans jokingly called him the "small Mourinho". I wonder if Mourinho will be unhappy after knowing this...
However, Giampaolo was still very young at this time. The 43-year-old young coach was full of expectations for the new season, especially when he saw the younger Yun Sheng. As the host, he greeted Yun Sheng enthusiastically: "Yun Sheng Hello coach, nice to meet you."
Although he had some unpleasantness with reporters outside just now, seeing the friendly Giampaolo with a smile on his face, Yun Sheng could not be rude. He also shook hands with Giampaolo politely: "Coach Giampaolo, I am very happy to be our guest, Dino Manucci." Stadium, I believe today will be a very exciting game.”
Giampaolo said with a smile on his face: "That's natural. I feel honored to be able to play against the Champions League champion coach and meet the Serie A hegemon Juventus. I hope this game will be a wonderful game."
Before turning around, Giampaolo was still smiling. After turning around, a look of disdain suddenly appeared on his face. He muttered in a low voice: "What a bullshit champion young marshal. He just got lucky. It doesn't matter." ! Even though we are a relegation team, we still have more points than you, Juventus!"
What Giampaolo said is really good. In the past five rounds of Serie A, their team has one win, three draws and one loss, accumulating 6 points. Juventus has suffered five consecutive draws and only has five league points.
After the pre-match warm-up, in the home team's locker room, Giampaolo looked at all the players with pride on his face: "Guys, let me tell you good news. The day for you to show your faces has come! Who is our opponent today? Yes. Juventus! They are the dominant team in Serie A! They are the team that has won the most Serie A championship trophies!"
"But Juventus is different now. They are in a sluggish state and their league ranking is even lower than us! If you can stop them at home, then you will become the focus of Italian football tomorrow!"
"If you work harder, score a goal, and overthrow Juventus at home, you will attract the attention of fans from all over the world! You have just been promoted from Serie B to Serie A this season. Maybe you can win the championship next season. More! A salary increase, advertising endorsements, and even being spotted by a wealthy family are all possible!"
"Boys, in this game you still focus on keeping a tie, but if there is an offensive opportunity, I hope you don't lose it! I have been paying attention to you off the court and look forward to the good news of your victory! After 90 minutes, we will Celebrate with champagne at the Dino Manuzzi Stadium!”
