Countless Juventus fans are now looking forward to one thing, and that is when Juventus can bring this excellent state to the Champions League and become invincible in the Champions League.
The fourth round of Serie A on September 12 has ended. Three days later, on the evening of September 15, Juventus will visit the Metalist Stadium in Ukraine to usher in the first game of the Champions League group stage this season. The opponent is the Ukrainian giant Shakhtar Donetsk.
The six Champions League group matches this season actually put a lot of pressure on Juventus.
In the first three games, Juventus faced Shakhtar Donetsk, Porto and Atletico Madrid, all of which were played away from home.
In the next three games, Juventus faced Atletico Madrid, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk at home for three consecutive games.
After the game on the 12th, Juventus players and coaches arrived in Ukraine one day early on the 14th.
Many players in the Juventus team are quite excited to be able to play in this stadium.
Because this is one of the venues for the 2012 European Cup, they are likely to represent the national team here a year later.
At present, teams such as Germany, Italy, France, and the Netherlands have already qualified in advance, and the players of their respective teams in Juventus are also full of expectations for next year's European Cup.
On the morning of the 15th, the Juventus team was adapting to the venue at Metalist Stadium. Many young players came to this stadium for the first time, and their faces were full of curiosity.
This stadium is a top football stadium in Ukraine, with a capacity of 38,000 seats. It can become one of the venues for the 2012 Polish-Ukrainian European Cup. The status of this stadium is evident.
Stepping on the turf in the middle of the court, several players chatted easily.
Buffon patted Lichtsteiner on the shoulder: "Man, you are now ranked third in the group, only one point behind Montenegro. The chance is still great. I hope to see you in the European Cup next year. Swiss team.”
Lichtsteiner's eyes were firm: "We lost too many points before, which is such a pity. We will definitely go all out in the next game and strive to overtake Montenegro to break through!"
Buffon nodded and said to himself: "That guy Nedved is also very anxious. Although he has retired, he is temporarily serving as the technical director of the Czech team. The situation in the Czech Republic is also very urgent now. The people behind him are also very anxious." Scotland are only one point behind them. This European Cup qualifier is going to be very difficult."
Near the goal, Del Piero and Raul were also chatting. Although both Italy and Spain have advanced, the two veterans have never been selected for the national team again, although they once said that as long as the national team needs them, they will He is willing to fight for his country at any time.
The excellent performance last season also made the fans of the two countries cry out, hoping that the head coaches of their respective national teams can consider bringing the two players to compete next year.
However, looking at the selection situation of their respective national teams, they did not include Del Piero and Raul in their plans.
Del Piero stepped hard on the lawn to adapt to the grass conditions here: "Gonzalez, I really want to participate in another European Cup. Although the Italian national team has many talents, I feel that I still have enough Competitiveness."
Raul also said with emotion: "Spain has done very well in competitions in recent years, and there are so many newcomers, but there is no room for me anymore. I also really want to wear the Spanish team jersey again..."
Veterans who are also looking forward to participating in another European Cup include Guti, Ballack, Grosso, and Trezeguet. They have worked hard on the court in the past two seasons, not only for the team, but also for Give yourself a slim chance of making the national team.
The reason is that only new people laugh, but no one can see old people crying.
If we can play again in this European Cup, that would be the best way to say goodbye...
After the warm-up, on the bus back to the hotel, Yun Sheng once again told the players: "Guys, I don't want to say more about the tactical arrangements for this game. I just want to tell you one thing again - you must not take it lightly!"
"We have been almost invincible in the league during this period, and I am proud and proud of your performance. But when we return to the Champions League this season, every opponent is not easy. Especially today's opponent Shakhtar Donetsk , it is no exaggeration to say that I even think they have a chance to win the Champions League this season! I am definitely not lying!"
"The opponent is very strong, so be careful!"
Yun Sheng once again told the players to be careful, and everyone nodded in agreement. On the surface, there should be no problem.
But Yun Sheng wasn't sure what everyone was thinking.
Cannavaro, who was sitting on the other side of Yunsheng, didn't care: "Sir, let me ask you secretly. You asked the players not to take it lightly. This should be a routine phrase, right? After all, our opponent is just a It's just a small Ukrainian team, and it's not a giant from the five major leagues. How can it be too strong? I think we can even defeat them in just 45 minutes!"
Speed, who was sitting next to Yunsheng, was also a little puzzled: "Sir, we have watched a lot of Shakhtar Donetsk game videos recently. Although they are good, they are just bullying the weak teams in Ukraine. , can their offensive and defensive ends really be able to withstand our massive attack?"
Hearing his two assistant coaches say this, Yun Sheng frowned even more. He shook his head vigorously, looked at Cannavaro, then looked at Speed, and sighed softly.
"I didn't expect that even the two of you would say that. Maybe this game will be more difficult than I thought..."
