The Estadio Ferraris was very lively today because they once again had an important game.
In the upcoming fourteenth round of Serie A, Genoa will face the challenge of Serie A giant Juventus here.
In the stands, many Sampdoria fans came today. They happily sat together with the Genoa fans to watch the game.
Fans from rivals in the same city sit together to watch a game. This kind of scene is extremely rare not only in Italy, but also around the world.
And even the usual derby between Sampdoria and Genoa is exciting, but there is no element of violence.
This is related to the situation where the two teams compete with the Italian Professional League.
The derby between these two teams is called the "Lighthouse Derby" because of the ancient lighthouse in the port of Genoa - the Lantern Tower. The Ferraris Stadium, shared by the two teams, is also world-famous for its unique atmosphere.
Historically, these two teams have had glorious histories. Although their performance has declined seriously now, the collisions between them still have many wonderful performances and classic goals. What promoted the relationship between the two teams was a confrontation with the Italian Professional League.
In 2014, the Italian Professional League once requested that the derby match between the two teams be held at 12:30 noon, which was strongly opposed by the two teams. Although this time takes care of overseas fans, it is very unfriendly to local fans. Both parties believe that arranging the game at such a time when not many people are in attendance is an insult to the "Lighthouse Derby".
This public challenge to the Italian Professional League has also made the two teams closer, and the derby between them is more like a carnival. Fans from both sides hold flags and scarves representing their teams and enjoy themselves as much as they like. cheering for the stars. After the game, the fans put away their brilliant flags and dispersed peacefully, looking forward to their next reunion at the Ferraris Stadium.
Therefore, for local fans in Genoa, the "Lighthouse Derby" is a feeling and a belief.
Standing beside the Ferraris Stadium, Yun Sheng felt a little emotional.
They just played against Sampdoria here on November 7th, and will return to Ferraris again on November 28th to face Genoa.
They are both two teams that are not doing well recently, and they also have their own acquaintances on the team.
Sampdoria star Cassano is a player that Yunsheng once coached, and the two have a very good relationship. After the 4-3 game, Yun Sheng's words at the press conference also fueled Cassano's transfer and helped him leave here as soon as possible.
Among the teams that will play against each other today, there is a young man who is looking forward to making his mark in front of Yunsheng.
This time it was Juventus who came to the stadium first. Because they are both in northern Italy, Juventus only came to Genoa City that day. It was difficult to control the time. They rushed early rather than late, so they came earlier.
The Juventus players had been warming up for five minutes, and the Genoa players arrived belatedly.
When the young Argentinian boy appeared in front of Yun Sheng again, Yun Sheng looked at him with a smile.
"Paul, long time no see, how are you doing?"
Standing in front of Yunsheng is Paulo Dybala, who just joined Juventus this summer and was loaned to Genoa by Yunsheng.
Different from Icardi's substitute status in Bari, Dybala has become the absolute main force of the team in Genoa. His elegant style of play and exquisite ball control have become an important weapon for Genoa to overwhelm the city.
Genoa is currently ranked 11th in the league and has a good record recently, with two wins and one draw in three games, and is in good shape. Dybala has scored 5 goals in Genoa and is currently the team's top scorer.
With the outstanding performance of Icardi and Dybala, Yunsheng's ability to recognize talents has been mentioned again.
Especially Dybala. When Yunsheng spent 10 million euros to lure him from Argentina, many people were very unfavorable to this little-known kid.
But unexpectedly, it only took a few months for Dybala to prove his strength.
Standing in front of Yunsheng again, Dybala's face was filled with confidence: "Sir, I have scored five goals in Genoa. I am looking forward to the day when I return to Juventus!"
Yun Sheng nodded: "Perform well and don't get hurt. In two years, come back and take over from your seniors. Come on!"
Maybe it's Dybala's recent heroics, or maybe it's Yunsheng's last words that played a role. Dybala's performance in this game was very brave. From the first minute of the game, he ran aggressively in the frontcourt without any effort, creating a threat at almost every offensive opportunity.
Speed on the sidelines repeatedly lamented: "If I had known he was improving so quickly, I shouldn't have signed a two-year loan contract with Genoa in the first place."
Yunsheng looked at Dybala, who had succeeded again, and said slowly: "If he hadn't been on loan, maybe he wouldn't have been able to grow so fast."
Cannavaro asked curiously: "Sir, I'm very curious, why did you loan out Dybala and Icardi, but kept Yu Dabao in the team? Do I have any other plans?" "
Yun Sheng glanced at Cannavaro: "Fabio, are you a little suspicious of my favoritism and bringing my compatriots with me?"
"This..." Cannavaro said nothing, but his expression had already answered Yun Sheng's question, "Sir, that's not what I meant. I think if Yu Dabao is also loaned out, he may grow even more. quick."
Yun Sheng shook his head: "This is different. Dybala and Icardi have very good skills. One of them grew up in the football soil of Argentina, and the other is a young talent from La Masia. Both their understanding of tactics and their personal skills With their training, they are already very mature. They lack experience and need more game time."
"But Yu Dabao is different. He has good talent, but the football education he received is not enough. I am Chinese, and I know the shortcomings and shortcomings of China's youth training. No matter how talented players are, they can be cultivated in China's youth training system. , and the gap between him and the young people in Europe is not small. Although I don’t want to admit it, there is no way, because it is a fact. Even if the experience of playing in Portugal has greatly improved him, but with someone like Icardi Compared with young people with La Masia blood, they are still far behind."
"I brought Yu Dabao with me because I hope you can teach him more football knowledge. You, Del Piero, Raul, Trezeguet, you are the top ten stars in Europe in each position. You are very knowledgeable about football. My understanding is so profound, your casual words may save Yu Dabao from taking many detours. Those who are close to Zhu are red, and this is the most important reason why I keep him."
"Fabio, so for Yu Dabao, you are the most important teachers. If one day he can achieve something, you are definitely qualified to stand up and tell everyone - this young man was brought out by me! "
