This summer, Juventus has a lot of newcomers and a lot of old people, especially Juventus's former flag man, Del Piero.
In the 93-94 season, Juventus welcomed their own prince, Piero at the age of 19 transferred from Padua to Juventus, and quickly proved himself at the Alp Stadium.
In 1995, Baggio's departure allowed him to take over the No. 10 jersey with special significance, which also heralded the official ascension of the Bianconeri to the throne and became the flag of Juventus, and he also used his outstanding performance to tell the world that Juventus' choice was not wrong.
During his 19 years at Juventus, Piero helped Juventus win eight Serie A titles, a European Cup and a Club World Cup.
At the same time, Piero is also the leading scorer in Juventus' history, and in the past 19 years, Piero has scored a total of 289 goals for Juventus.
However, the prince will eventually grow old, and last season, when Juventus returned to the top of Serie A, Juventus fans might have prayed that the day would come later, knowing that the prince would be leaving.
Eventually, after much deliberation, Piero joined Sydney FC in the Australian league and started a new chapter in his career.
In addition to Piero, there were Krasic, Melo and Grosso, with the great left-back who was a late bloomer eventually lost to injury.
Juventus have changed not only in terms of players, but also in terms of managers, with Juventus manager Antonio Conte currently under a global ban.
Although the two teams did not have anything to do with each other before, there are a lot of topics between the two teams now, otherwise, UEFA would not have arranged for them to fight in a group, you know, UEFA is famous for its shamelessness.
No, Balotelli stood up first, "I hate Manchester, I hate everything there, even though I've done a good job in Manchester, but that doesn't change my hatred of being there." ”
The current Balotelli is not afraid of Manchester City, his previous career was pinched by Manchester City, and he did not dare to say anything in the transfer market.
Who doesn't know that Balotelli is a fan of AC Milan, and what he desires most is to join AC Milan, but Manchester City rejected AC Milan, and in order to escape from Manchester City, Balotelli can only choose to join Juventus.
Of course, Balotelli doesn't like Manchester City, and Manchester City don't like Balotelli very much, the club has wiped his ass more than once, and Manchester City fans have never liked Balotelli, even if Balotelli was very good last season.
In the face of Balotelli's stinky mouth, the first to jump out was not the Manchester City players, but the Manchester City fans "Since the Italian joined, we have never expressed that we like him, and even we have publicly claimed more than once that we don't like that guy, as for his so-called achievements, sorry, it has nothing to do with him, who doesn't know, what is the biggest reason for Manchester City's success last season?" ”
"I don't care if they like me or not, I just want to tell them I hate them and I'm looking forward to the upcoming fight," Balotelli said not to be outdone.
Faced with this situation, the Manchester City players naturally did not turn a blind eye, and captain Kompany stood up and said: "Mario should know how to stop in moderation, don't be like a child." ”
Balotelli immediately stepped up to fight back at Kompany, and compared to Balotelli's endlessness, the rest of Juventus looked much more low-key, after all, they returned to the Champions League after a few years.
But sometimes, it's not like you can keep a low profile if you want to, why does the media exist? Immediately, they dug up the old feud between Li Feng and Juventus in the 09-10 season.
However, the media's punch is destined to only hit cotton, because neither Juventus nor Manchester City have taken it, Paulsen has already been swept away by Juventus, Melo has also been loaned out this summer, and the opponent of the last meeting is only Marchisio.
As for Li Feng, he is notoriously uncooperative, and the media has nothing to do about it, and they don't give them any chance, because Li Feng's performance is always so good.
However, even so, this game is still the most watched game in this group stage, and the other group stages are really strong and weak, except for the group of death.
And this is still a battle between midfield masters, although Pirlo is now old, but his condition is very good, needless to say Li Feng, after helping Manchester City win the championship last season, Li Feng has officially entered the ranks of masters.
This is also the second time the two have only played each other after the Audi Cup at the beginning of the 09-10 season, but compared to three years, the two have changed very much.
Three years ago, Pirlo was at his peak and at his best age, and Li Feng was just a newcomer at that time, new to the wealthy family, and urgently needed to prove himself.
But now, Pirlo joined Juventus from AC Milan and is already at the age of 33, and his career has entered the countdown.
What about Li Feng? In three years, Li Feng completed the transformation from a rising star, set the world's highest transfer record, came to Manchester from Germany, and led the team to the top of Europe.
On the morning of the 19th, Juventus, under the leadership of acting coach Carrera, came to Manchester to officially start the first game of the group stage.
And the moment Juventus walked out of the airport, they were greeted by a huge boo from the Manchester City fans, most of which went to Balotelli, who was back in Manchester again, because this guy has been chattering in the media for the past few days.
At the press conference arranged by UEFA, Carrera did not bring Balotelli to the scene, although Balotelli is now the first choice of Juventus striker, but Carrera also knows that he can't control this guy.
After a disappointing press conference, Carrera returned to the hotel and began to acclimatise to the pitch with the Juventus players.
As for Manchester City, there is no need to acclimatize to the venue, this is the advantage of the home stadium, the Manchester City players just had a simple training session in the morning, and then Van Basten took Kompany and Van Persie to the press conference, and in the afternoon spent in the tactical conference room, and when the time was almost up, the whole team officially stepped on the team bus and came to the stadium they were familiar with.
