On the morning of August 31, outside the club’s training ground, countless reporters surrounded Yun Sheng as he entered the training ground, wanting him to share his thoughts on this Champions League trip.
Viola, a beautiful reporter from Turin Sports News, was all smiles: "Coach Yunsheng, the result of Juventus's draw this time is really good, it should be regarded as one of the top draws, right?"
Yun Sheng shook his head: "This is definitely not a sign."
The reporter of "Gazzetta dello Sport" was full of jealousy: "Compared with the two teams in Milan this time, Juventus's draw result is not good? Inter Milan's opponents include Monaco, CSKA Moscow and Trabzonspor In sports, at least Monaco is definitely a top team, and CSKA Moscow is not easy to mess with. AC Milan once again meets the Cosmos team Barcelona. If you are not careful, it is likely to capsize. Compared with Juventus' three opponents, they are simply not on the same level. Yes, Juventus’ opponents are extremely weak.”
Originally Yun Sheng didn't want to answer, after all, he wanted to spend more time on the training ground, but when he heard the somewhat sour question from the "Gazzetta dello Sport" reporter, Yun Sheng stopped and looked at him.
"What are you talking about? Juventus' opponents are so weak? Haha, I see you are quite old. You should be in your 40s. Why are you still so immature? Why, the strength of the team only depends on the ball. The reputation of the team? Then why play in the Champions League? Shouldn’t it be enough to award the championship trophy to whichever team has the highest reputation?”
"Atletico Madrid has introduced many strong players this year. Their strength cannot be underestimated. They are even capable of challenging Real Madrid and Barcelona's dominance in the league. Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk are also at the peak of their strength. They have players in their teams. There are many talented stars, these players definitely have the ability to play in the five major European leagues, and they have the ability to play for the giant teams in the five major leagues!"
"If you think what I said is a bit exaggerated, then let's take a look after the Champions League group stage starts. The teams in Group G are extremely strong. According to me, this group is the real group of death! "
Yun Sheng's words were reported almost unchanged by the media, causing controversy among many people.
Many people say that Yunsheng got it cheap and acted well. It is obvious that Juventus's three opponents are mediocre in strength. He insists on saying that the opponents are strong, saying that Atletico Madrid has the ability to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona, and that players from Porto and Shakhtar can go to rich clubs to play the main force. This is not a joke. ?
Even Liu Surong asked Yun Sheng privately: "Are your words a bit exaggerated? Atletico Madrid is strong, and are Porto and Shakhtar really as talented as you said? "
Yun Sheng nodded solemnly: "I have already arranged for the agency to start in advance and sign most of the talented players from these two teams. In the next few years, just the signing fees for these players to transfer to wealthy clubs, We will make a profit, just wait and see."
"Is this really going to happen?" Even Liu Surong, who had full confidence in Yun Sheng, had some doubts in her heart at this moment.
Since there is no way to know what will happen in the future, let time verify it.
No one can imagine now that after the Champions League group stage starts more than half a month later, the strong competitiveness that emerges from Group G will make countless wealthy teams extremely fearful.
And not many people can talk about it. After this year, players from the two current teams Porto and Shakhtar have been poached by Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, Chelsea and other teams, and have become the main force of the team, and even the thighs. level star.
At that time, when someone dug up today's Yunsheng's interview records, they realized how accurate Yunsheng's predictions were, and then they understood the difficulties that Juventus encountered in the Champions League group stage.
Yunsheng knows very well that this Champions League group stage journey will be extremely difficult, so before the group stage begins, the team must strive to grab points in the league so that they can be more solid when fighting on multiple fronts.
After the 8-0 victory in the first game of the league, Yunsheng knew that the next game would be even more difficult.
Because opponents understand Juventus' powerful offensive power, they will definitely be more cautious, and Juventus will face greater difficulties.
From now until the start of the Champions League group stage on September 15, Juventus will play three league games in the next two weeks, and the opponents are all very strong-Udinese, Roma, Lazio.
These three teams were all teams in the European Theater last year. They also performed well in the first round of the league. Udinese and Roma both achieved big victories. Even Lazio, who lost, almost defeated Inter Milan. Even if it wasn't for Adriano's incredible performance, Lazio would have won the new Champions League.
On September 2, Juventus faced Udinese away from home, and the Bianconeri faced a difficult contest.
For Yunsheng, Udinese is a very special opponent, even more difficult to deal with than the Milan duo and Roma.
Last season, Juventus won the championship with a record 18 consecutive victories, but among all Serie A opponents, the only one Yunsheng has not defeated is Udinese.
Juventus faced Udinese twice last season, but only got two draws, and the process was very embarrassing.
Especially the opponent's goalkeeper Handanovic, in Yun Sheng's view, his strength can definitely be ranked among the top three in Serie A. With his performance last season, he is also among the top ten in international football.
Such a world-class goalkeeper really gives Juventus a headache.
From the first minute of today's game, Handanovic stood firmly in front of the goal. The steel defense line he created was so solid that even Juventus' world-class attack group was difficult to deal with.
Udinese has undergone a lot of personnel changes this season. Sanchez, their thigh-level player on the offensive line, has been poached by Barcelona. The weapon that destroyed the city last season no longer exists.
Because of this, Udinese's formation has become more compact this season, focusing on defense.
After seeing Juventus' previous 8-0 game, Udinese completely retreated in this game even at home. The 6-3-1 formation simply left Yunsheng speechless.
You guys worked really hard for a draw...
For the entire 45 minutes of the first half, Udinese didn't even have a shot. Di Natale, the only veteran striker, also frequently retreated. They completely gave up attacking.
However, Udinese was very satisfied with the result. When the referee blew the half-time whistle, the score was still 0-0. If it could end with this score, Udinese would be very happy to see it.
But Yun Sheng was very dissatisfied with the result.
It seems that I have to make big changes in the second half of the game...
