"Hello, viewers, welcome to Italian Football Sports Channel 3, I am the host Di Livio."
"Hello everyone, I am your old friend Vieri."
"Today is Sunday, October 3, and we are about to usher in the last game of the sixth round of Serie A - Juventus plays Cesena away."
In the live broadcast room, Di Livio and Vieri chatted about today's game.
Vieri smiled and said: "If you are a fan who has not watched football for a long time, you may have this understanding of this game - this must be a duel with clear strengths and weaknesses. After all, Juventus is a long-established and strong team. "
"But if you have been paying attention to Serie A recently, you will not come to such a conclusion. Because the two opponents in this game are both ranked near the relegation zone! The newly promoted Cesena is ranked 14th in the standings, and Juventus, the dominant player in Serie A, is still ranked 15th behind Cesena! Doesn’t it seem a bit incredible?”
Seeing Vieri's gloating look, Di Livio said angrily: "The league has just started a few games now, so we can't see anything at all."
Vieri: "Anyway, I can see that Juventus are more than ten points behind the top spot."
Di Livio: "...Let's talk about the starting lineups of the two teams today..."
"Juventus finally received good news in this game. Their main goalkeeper Buffon finally returned from injury! In the previous games, the performance of substitute goalkeeper Manninger was really not satisfactory, and Juventus conceded too many goals. In recent rounds, we have been ranked at the top of Serie A. But now that Buffon is back, everything is coming back."
"Also returning from injury is Metzelder. With him and Buffon starting the game, I believe Juventus' defense will be solid in this game!"
Vieri: "But when the two of them were not injured before, Juventus still didn't win?"
Di Livio: "...Let's talk about the starting lineup for the game..."
"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 Diego, Ballack and Guti, the two shadow forwards are Del Piero and Raul, and the center is Trezeguet."
"Today Yunsheng finally arranged his ideal starting lineup, which is not easy. In addition to Buffon and Metzelder, Sali Hamikic, who was injured before the season, has also returned from injury and scored 20 goals in the last game. He had the opportunity to come on as a substitute for 15 minutes and performed well, and Juventus' bench depth was also strengthened."
"Especially their two shadow strikers Del Piero and Raul. In the previous two games, the two of them alternately scored hat tricks and were in excellent condition. I believe that this game is very likely for Juventus to win their first win of the season. "
After Di Livio introduced Juventus' lineup, Vieri also briefly talked about Cesena's situation.
"Cesena's main lineup today is not weak. At least compared to other promoted or relegated teams, they still have many outstanding players in the team."
"For example, the core midfielder Giaccherini, his organization and passing are the most important part of this Cesena team."
"And the young striker Ighalo? His finishing ability is also very good."
"Veteran midfielder Appiah? He was once a member of Juventus and will face his former club at home this year."
"The 25-year-old midfielder Parolo is good both offensively and defensively? He also has a good long-range shot."
Vieri introduced the players in this Cesena team. He introduced the technical characteristics of almost every player very seriously. When he mentioned a right back, he introduced it emphatically: "24-year-old Japanese player Nagatomo Yuto joined Cesena from FC Tokyo this summer. The transfer fee was only 1.6 million euros. However, after five games, his outstanding performance attracted the attention of many Serie A teams. Even Milan Double Xiongdu is very interested in this young defender. His excellent speed and balance are the keys to his success in Serie A."
"Compared to Yuto Nagatomo, who started consecutively, the two Chinese nationals who moved to Juventus this summer have basically become businessmen. In addition to Zheng Zhi unlocking the Serie A appearance record? Yu Dabao even plays in the youth team. Football. Yunsheng had a preference for promoting Chinese players in Cottbus and Monaco before? But in Juventus, it is not so easy to let Chinese players gain a foothold. Even Chen Tao, who is now playing well in the Premier League , Yu Hai and others may not be able to get a starting position in this Juventus team, let alone players who have not proven themselves in European competitions?"
Vieri's comments were very sharp. Although Di Livio wanted to refute, he couldn't say anything. In the end, he reluctantly expressed his approval: "Zheng Zhi and Yu Dabao are indeed still far behind the strength of Serie A. Yu Dabao is still young? Since Needless to say, Zheng Zhi is already 30 years old? Even if he has been the captain of the Chinese national team before? Even if he has been a top player in Asia? But in Serie A, he still needs to prove his strength. Originally, I wanted Calling this game the 'Asian Derby', I finally decided to forget it. After all, whether Zheng Zhi can play in this game is still in suspense."
The two hosts were chatting while the players had finished their pre-match preparations and ran onto the court.
Cesena players looked high-spirited amid the cheers of the home fans.
The whole Juventus team looked serious, no one had a smile on their face. They stared closely at the opponent's half, silent and quiet.
I don’t know if morale is low, or if I am ready to go?
Will there be a violent attack like a storm, or a rout?
At this time, even the Juventus players sitting on the bench were frowning and staring intently in the direction of the court.
On the bench, Zheng Zhi sat there steadily.
He recalled what Yun Sheng said to him a few minutes ago when he left him alone at the end.
"If the first half of today's game goes well, I will let you come on the field in the second half and give you a certain degree of offensive dominance. You should be ready."
"Thank you sir! I will definitely deal with the competition seriously and not let you down!"
"Dazhi, in addition to my requirements as the team's head coach, I also have a personal request for you - your performance on the court today must not be worse than the Japanese opposite!"
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely do it!"
Recalling what Yunsheng had just said, Zheng Zhi turned his attention to the Cesena half. In the left back position, Nagatomo Yuto jumped continuously on the spot and was doing the final warm-up preparations before the game.
Boy, although I have no personal grudge against you, in the eyes of the Chinese people, this game represents the football glory of our two countries.
As long as I have the opportunity to come on as a substitute, I will not embarrass the Chinese fans!
