Chapter 363 Arrival in Turin (daily transition)

Turin is located in northern Italy and is the third largest city in the Apennines.

It was an important political center in Europe hundreds of years ago.

Its nicknames are "The Cradle of Freedom", "The Capital of the Alps" and "The Sweetest Place in the Apennines".

The city is home to two clubs: Turin and Juventus.

The number of local fans in the former is even better.

'Juventus' means "young man" in Latin, why is it called the old woman?

According to legend: In the early days of the club's establishment, conditions were very poor. There was an old woman who often came to deliver meals to the players.

As for the nickname of the Bianconeri, there are many theories, among which the more realistic one is: Juventus’ jersey was originally pink, and the supplier mistakenly sent Notts County’s black-and-white striped jersey to them. The club thought it was black and white. The color was pretty good too, so I kept using it.

As for the "Phonegate" incident in the early 21st century? It’s a long story.

Wednesday.

The Champions League semi-finals are here.

After Li Kang finished his morning training, he and his teammates boarded a plane to Turin.

I didn't watch the Juventus video again, because Allegri was likely to do an "experiment", just like the 2014-15 Champions League final against Habaib + MSN's Barcelona.

Might as well watch "Totti Joke Collection".

Maguire is very nervous. He feels that he is slowly reaching the peak of his life, even if he does not get the chance to start in this game.

Welbeck is humbly asking Morata for advice on how to find a wealthy second-generation girlfriend with a killer figure through online dating.

Cazorla closed his eyes and rested.

Sanchez is in high spirits.

Giroud said seriously: "Lee, I will guard against that fat guy Higuain!"

Koscielny smiled and said: "Didn't the boss say that before we set off? You don't need to retreat too deep in position defense."

Wenger and the coaching staff continue to improve the tactical arrangements before the game.

The professor is old and cannot keep up with the ever-changing tactical craze of the Premier League, but the tactical betting rate against the traditional European powers is still very high.

"Juventus' two-wing attack is very strong. They are likely to frequently suppress Bellerin's side. This cannot be ignored."

"Boss, are you saying that Juventus will fight us?"

"No, it's misplaced suppression."

Turin Airport.

Li Kang and his teammates walked out of the airport.

The club did not disclose the specific schedule, resulting in not many fans coming to the scene.

When a few piles of supporters who had stayed up late waiting at the airport woke up, all members of Arsenal had already boarded the bus.

The security personnel suddenly felt relaxed.

"John, have you heard? Juventus has carried out many charity activities during this period in order to avoid racial discrimination in this game."

"What kind of children's activities organized by UNESCO? It's of no use at all."

"Watch how many players in the Arsenal squad will be booed like monkeys!"

Juventus's extreme fan organization is very chaotic.

Many people are still admirers of ***.

Security personnel often launch raids and can find automatic rifles, pistols, armor-piercing rounds and even ground-to-air missiles in their bases.

Many players and coaches have received death threats.

The blacklist at the Allianz Stadium in Turin continues to add new names every year, which shows how attracted these extreme fan organizations are to new blood.

As for the behavior of racial discrimination, it is often the sign of newcomers.

'Life is only dyed in black and white'.

The Arsenal bus traveled smoothly and arrived at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

That's right.

The home ground of Juventus is also the title sponsor of the German insurance group Allianz.

There are countless Allianz Arenas around the world.

The Allianz Stadium in Turin is very young. It opened in 2011 and can only accommodate more than 40,000 spectators. However, its appearance and infield are full of technology and have the most advanced lighting, sound and special effects solutions.

No matter where you sit in the basin-shaped stands, you can hear the clear and gentle broadcast sound in your ears.

It is also the first stadium in Serie A that is fully owned by a club.

Pre-match press conference.

Allegri shook hands with Wenger.

The relationship between the two is not as awkward as it seems to the outside world: Arsenal's senior management had privately contacted the Juventus coach last season during the "cooling frenzy", but was rejected by the latter. This behavior was viewed by the media as disrespectful to Wenger. respect.

No pleasantries were exchanged for too long.

The two coaches soon began to be interviewed by media reporters.

Most of the questions were thrown to Wenger first.

"Juventus is a powerful opponent. They are not only the dominant player in Serie A, but also one of the strong contenders for the Champions League title in recent years."

"Lee is in very good shape, he's well-rested and I'm sure he'll show his game-changing power again."

Allegri was unhurried and his tone was gentle.

“Both sides have very good players and I’m looking forward to their performances.”

The Juventus coach tried hard to restrain his expression. The affectionate word "Uncle" has traveled across the ocean from the distant eastern country and spread to every land in Turin.

Even if Italian fans don't know Chinese, they can still associate the word "囧" with Allegri's expression.

Player tunnel.

Pjanic lightly punched Li Kang's chest.

The two knew each other when they attended the Champions League draw ceremony for the first time.

"You're growing up well! Why are you so much taller than me?"

"You won't knock me over so easily this time."

After Pjanic came to Juventus, his combat effectiveness skyrocketed. He was no longer the front-end core playing style of the Roma period, but stood in the "Pirlo zone".

He doesn't see himself as Pirlo's successor.

But he was raised like a "little Pirlo" in Allegri's system, with a lot of big brothers in front of him and behind him who did the dirty work, covering up his flaws to the maximum extent and amplifying his scheduling and organization. ability.

In the eyes of Juventus fans, selling Pogba for 100 million and buying Pjanic for 32 million was a great value.

Buffon pushed aside the zebra midfielder and gave Li Kang a brief hug.

The embrace of two generations in football.

Allianz Stadium, Turin.

Red marine flares were lit in the South Stand.

Fire exploded.

Smoke billows.

"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers."

"The live broadcast for you now is the 2016-17 Champions League semi-finals!"

"Juventus vs. Arsenal!"

"A battle that attracts global attention!"

“The team that scored the most goals in the Champions League this season faced the team that conceded the fewest goals.”

"A battle of spears and shields!"

"Media from 76 regions around the world will broadcast live!"

"Looking at the historical battle results between the two teams, Wenger has a huge advantage. He led the Gunners to eliminate the Old Lady twice!"

"Can the Bianconeri avenge their disgrace tonight?"

"Let's wait and see!"

No need to be lazy, I need to save more content to post together, so there won’t be any tomorrow morning.
