On January 13, Juventus won Bari in the Italian Cup; on January 16, Juventus won Naples in the 20th round of the league.
Five days later, on January 22, Juventus ushered in the 21st round of Serie A, playing against Udinese at home.
This game is not a particularly important game, because Juventus is now nearly 20 points ahead of second-place AC Milan, and the league championship this season is within easy reach.
But today's game is of particularly important significance.
In the 1991-1993 season, AC Milan, which was extremely powerful at the time, set a Serie A record of 58 unbeaten games across seasons, creating a red-black dynasty era.
Juventus created a miracle of being undefeated in a single season last season. As of the 20th round of the league this season, they have maintained a winning streak. 38 plus 20, Juventus has now been unbeaten for 58 rounds across the season, tying the 58-round unbeaten record of the Rossoneri Dynasty!
If Juventus does not lose at home in this game, then they will play AC Milan, which has maintained an unbeaten record for nearly twenty years!
From the first minute of this game, Juventus' attack was very fierce.
Yun Sheng has already told the players not to consider the idea that "a tie will break the record". For Juventus, winning every game is the right direction for the team!
In this game, Yunsheng deployed his full lineup, and they bombarded Udinese's half.
After Sanchez and other core players left, Udinese only had Handanovic to rely on. Among all Serie A teams, Handanovic's number of effective saves is second only to Buenos Aires, which ranks first. Feng can be said to be the second-ranked goalkeeper in Serie A.
Facing such a team with weak offense and strong defense, Juventus will naturally not be polite. They attacked wildly in the midfield and frontcourt today, and the two full-backs also frequently provided assists, striving to open the opponent's goal as soon as possible.
Thanks to Handanovic's heroic performance, Udinese sustained nearly half of the game until Juventus broke the deadlock in injury time in the first half.
In the second minute of stoppage time, Lichtsteiner assisted to the frontcourt. He passed the ball diagonally. Raul ran quickly and knocked the ball back on the penalty area line.
Pirlo received the ball at the top of the penalty area, but the angle was blocked. Pirlo flicked his ankle and the ball went straight to the other direction of the penalty area!
Del Piero fell to the ground and shot from the corner of the small penalty area!
The ball went in!
1 to 0! Juventus finally broke the deadlock!
The referee's whistle sounded and the first half of the game was over.
With the ball in hand, Juventus played more easily in the second half.
With the cooperation of the front three, Raul and Robin van Persie each scored a goal, eventually locking the score at 3-0.
When the referee's whistle sounded, all the home fans at Juventus Arena stood up and applauded!
Juventus won the 21st round of Serie A. They broke AC Milan's record and created a 59-game unbeaten record in Serie A!
In the stands, there were many young Juventus fans, who were less than twenty years old, and their immature faces were extremely excited.
They are happy.
Most of the people around them are their fathers. Twenty years ago, their fathers witnessed AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten streak, and that record has become the eternal pride of AC Milan fans. They will always be proud in their hearts. AC Milan fans suppressed.
But it’s different now!
Children, you will be proud to be Juventus fans for many years to come!
At this time, in the center of the stadium, Maurizio Beretta, chairman of the Italian Professional League, was presenting the record-breaking 59-game unbeaten commemorative trophy to the Juventus general, and captain Del Piero received it.
Beretta congratulated all members of Juventus. He walked up to Yunsheng, shook hands and talked with him.
"Coach Yunsheng, it is simply the luck of Italian football that you can come to Serie A to coach."
"Mr. President, you are very grateful. Juventus can achieve such outstanding results today, which is inseparable from the outstanding leadership of the Italian Professional League. This is all your contribution."
"Haha, coach Yun Sheng is really good at talking. One thing I'm very curious about now is how many rounds in advance will Juventus win the Serie A championship trophy? You know the previous record was five rounds in advance. I think you should be able to break this record. . Maybe it won’t be long before I will still be standing here to present you with the Serie A championship trophy more than a month in advance, hahaha!”
"Hopefully, my players and I will work hard."
The players excitedly took photos on the court holding the trophy for several years. Beretta had nothing to do and chatted easily with Yun Sheng.
"Coach Yunsheng, actually before the start of the season, I had a lot of objections to you. For this reason, I called Agnelli and criticized Juventus."
Hearing this, Yun Sheng immediately guessed the reason: "Mr. Chairman, you have a problem with me because of my speech before the start of the season."
Before the start of the season, there were some conflicts between the Italian Professional League and the Players Union, which almost led to the postponement of this season's Serie A. Finally, with the help of Tomasi, the chairman of the Italian Players Union, Yunsheng made some public comments. For example, he stood on the side of the players and helped them fight for their rights.
This action made Yunsheng's status in the players' minds rise rapidly, and even greatly helped the business of Yuntian Brokerage Company. And because of this incident, the conflict between the two parties was finally resolved and the strike did not occur.
This incident caused a great sensation in the international football world. The final end of the conflict was not entirely due to Yunsheng, but Yunsheng's positive role in fueling the flames is still unquestionable. Some media even called Yunsheng "the hero of Italian football". FIFA also called Yunsheng "one of the important figures who changed the development of international football."
However, in this matter, Yunsheng did stand on the side of the players union, so it is reasonable for Italian Professional League Chairman Beretta to complain about Yunsheng today.
"Coach Yunsheng, I admire you very much. You have brought many different things to Italian football, but you also almost cheated the Italian Professional League. You owe me a favor."
After hearing this, Yun Sheng was happy: "Okay, I owe you a favor. I will ask Yuntian Company to extend the VIP medical card of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Laboratory given to you for another ten years. How about that?"
Beretta shook his head helplessly: "Coach Yunsheng, I am grateful for your personal generosity to me, but these are two different things. If one day I need your help, you must remember that you still owe me a favor. .”
Yun Sheng smiled slightly: "Mr. Chairman, as long as it is within my ability and does not violate my principles of doing things, I am willing to help and return the favor to you."
Beretta clapped her hands: "Okay! Don't forget what you said today!"
