Chapter 66 The Great War Is Coming

On the morning of the game day, Li Yu got up very early. After simply eating some bread and milk, she changed into a sportswear and went downstairs to find Kilieni to go to go to the Alps Stadium.

On the day of the game, Juventus did not arrange the training at the training base in the suburbs, but directly placed it at the Alps Stadium, which saved a lot of time to go back and forth, and also allowed the players to avoid unnecessary toss.

The sun is very good today. It's very comfortable to put it in the car window and shine on my body. Li Yu sat on the co-pilot without saying anything. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the sunshine while thinking about the content of last night's special training.

Soon the two arrived at the court. There was only a simple warm-up this morning, followed by the tactical preparation meeting. As two people in the 18-person list, Li Yu and Kilieni are also going to participate.

The players didn't expect that as soon as they entered the stadium to warm up, they found that the reporters at the training base yesterday had come here again early in the morning.

"I didn't expect that everyone paid so much attention to our game, so that we could give Milan a strong look in front of so many media." When Bodinov saw so much media attention, he was obviously very excited and shouted before he warmed up.

"You are thinking about your own bonus! Everyone knows that you love money the most!" Pierrero joked happily that no one expected the captain to be like this today, but when they saw Bodinov's emboldering appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing loudly.

Before the warm-up began, he found that the players were in good condition today. There seemed to be no competition pressure. Radko, the assistant in charge of the warm-up, was satisfied and announced the start of the warm-up training.

Radko holds the notebook and observes what is recorded on the notebook while observing the training, especially the starting player. He will carefully watch it, and then write down the results of his own observation. Of course, several players who have just returned from injury are also the key targets.

Generally, this kind of competition will not announce the starting list in advance. The head coach will really say the arrangement at the pre-match tactical meeting. Although the predictions of various media before the game will not be too different from the actual appearance list, the personnel changes in some individual positions are generally very useful, but Deschamps announced it early to let the media and opponents understand that the Juventus players don't know what the head coach is thinking, which is a kind of determination?

Anyway, the starting players are not worried at all now. All they have to do is to advance to the finals under Deschamp's arrangement and find a good future for the team.

......

Juventus starting list: goalkeeper Buffon, left-back Birindelli, centre-back Piccoro, centre-back Ziellini, right-back Balzaretti, left-back Marchioni, central-forward Zanetti, centre-forward Parro, right-back Nedvid, forward Trezeguet, striker and striker Piero.

Deschamps saw that the players on the list came to the tactics room and immediately began to explain the tactics of today's game.

After the tactic 4-4-2 is announced on the list, there will be no suspense. Everyone here knows it.

There is nothing we can do about Quillini changing to the central defender. Now all the central defenders in the Juventus are injured. Even Baumson, who has been boasting that his body is like a dinosaur, is injured and can't play. In a training two weeks ago, another damn strain made him have to rest.

Out of concern about the defense line, Deschamps arranged the people on the avant-garde line are all physically strong players, and both the offensive and defensive ends are relatively balanced. First of all, he must ensure that his midfield can not fall behind in the confrontation of Milan, so as to provide protection for his backcourt.

"In today's game, AC Milan's offensive core Kaka, you must pay attention to his defense, the area to prevent his breakthrough, don't foul easily, listen clearly!" Deschamps began to explain the specific arrangements for the Milanese. He found that the team members did not seem to understand. He continued to say, "Keep up with him, don't let him break through, and use his body to interfere more. Other players should pay attention to blocking the ball line. I want you to ensure that on the line where he may play the ball, the first time must be our people. "

"AC Milan's attacks are mostly initiated by Pirlo. It is a routine to find strikers Gilardino, Kaka and Sidov to find a second opportunity. The midfielder must be fierce to Pirlo's defense, and he can't let him play the ball comfortably. You do the task of Zanetti, but you must be careful not to get a yellow card too early. You can control this by yourself. Deschamps then analyzed AC Milan's offensive routine and made a corresponding arrangement.

Zanetti is always a player who does this kind of dirty work. Every successful team can't lack such a player, which is inconspicuous but destroys a lot of potential threats.

Perhaps the most famous player of this kind is still in the opponent's side, that is, Gnaro Ivan Gattuso, who is known as a butcher. The attacking player will be afraid of three points when he sees him. In fact, Gattuso's feet are very clean, and he never relies on malicious fouls to stop the opponent's attack. This player is known for his tireless and tenacious style. He often sticks to the opponent's attacking player like a rubber candy, waiting for the opportunity to steal, and then quickly launch the team's attack.

People always see that Gattuso's movements seem to be very big, but the result is that he does not foul at all. This is what Zaneti is going to do now, the same position and the same responsibility. After hearing the task ordered by Deschamps, he didn't say anything, but just nodded to show himself to understand.

"Let me talk about Milan's second offensive routine, that is, Kaka retreats to the breakout of the ball in the first half, which I have already explained how to defend at the beginning. Now it is the third set. With the advance of the two sides, Kafu, Jankulovski, and even Sedorf and Kaka are likely to launch an attack. I want to say that the middle defense must pay attention to their position and protect their defensive position. Kafu and Jankulovski move forward, and the corresponding full-back defense, as long as Which side does Kaka and Sedorf detour to, and which side of the forward must return to defend. Palo, you are responsible for filling the position. In such an offensive situation, you feel that you need to strengthen the defense, and you have to get there as soon as possible!" Deschamps told all the offensive routines. Obviously, he had done a lot of research work before.

Li Yu listened carefully, "No wonder the last away game was able to bring back two gold-like away goals. It turned out that the gentleman paid attention to every detail of the opponent!" Thinking about it, he found that with Deschamp's explanation, everyone's little pressure on the game disappeared. Maybe everyone was the same as himself. The more he listened, the more he felt that the opponent was completely exposed in front of his eyes, and there was nothing to worry about, and the pressure disappeared.

"Alessandro, in terms of attack, you and Pavel do think of a way. Milan's back line is aging seriously, and you will definitely find loopholes. David should pay attention to his running position and don't insert it forward easily, but every front insertion should put pressure on the opponent's defense line." Deschamps seems to be worried about the problem of attack. These three veterans have too much experience against Milan. In his opinion, there will be no big problem with this. He still has two young people, Li Yu and Bodynov, on the bench. If the attack is unfavorable, it is okay to make further adjustments.

......

In this game, Deschamps did not say anything more before starting the game. This set of completely different ways of preparing for the game has received good results, and the players have no pressure before the game.

When they were about to enter the field, the team members were chatting relaxedly, and some of them were listening to music with big headphones.

It's almost time.

The players were ready to enter, the door of the home team's locker room at the Alpine Stadium was pushed open, and the Juventus players rushed out, where the players were not there. AC Milan players have already lined up, and many familiar players in the two teams stood in the player channel and began to greet.

There was already a jubilant scene outside. The largest Juventus jersey rushed to the South Stand. This was the stand of Juventus hardcore fans. They stood under the huge jerseys, jumping and jumping.

On the opposite North Stand, it is covered by player banners and eye-catching words. Many fans have held up the trophy of the Italian Cup early. Of course, this is a replica, but all fans believe that their favorite team will bring the real trophy back to the Alpes Stadium. Juventus has been so far. The team that has won the most trophy has won the trophy nine times, and their opponent today, AC Milan, has only 5 cup-winning experience. In the eyes of these fans, these data are the best proof.

Tickets for the second round today were sold out early. The Turiners only gave 3,000 tickets to the Milanese and it was a corner in a poor location, but the Milaners were not vegetarian. The game had not yet started. The red fireworks were ignited by fans in that area early on that side, and soon the whole stadium was smog. The special police wanted to come forward to stop the behavior of Milan fans, but the clever Milan fans had already extinguished the fireworks and let the special police get out.

It was so popular before the game. I really don't know what the scene will be after the game starts. The game between the two teams has always been a focus battle, second only to the Milan City Derby in Italy. It goes without saying that the media will cover this high-profile semi-final.

......

Li Yu's parents also turned on the computer at this time and paid attention to the key battle in their son's mouth, but they found that Xiaoyu did not appear in the starting list.

This more or less disappointed my father Li Zixu. He picked up the coffee in front of him and took a big sip. He pointed to the computer screen dissatisfiedly and said, "Why didn't you let my son start? I also specially told many colleagues to envy us that we have a star son!" It's good now. I don't know if I can sit on the bench..."

Before he finished speaking, his wife Hong Li twisted his arm fiercely and was obediently ready to listen to the instruction.

"Is your face more important or Xiaoyu's health? Our son is just injured. What's wrong with sitting down and taking a rest?" Hong Li said it righteously.

Li Zixu had to rub his arm and hurriedly said with a smiling face, "It's my fault. It's a good thing for my son not to watch the game!"
