523, the rain battle in Turin
"Some experts have commented that this game is the first tough game for AC Milan in the strict sense of the word, and it is a touchstone to really test the strength of this team, what do you think about this?"
At the pre-match press conference on October 5, a reporter asked this question.
Although he is not the captain of the team, Lonjut still serves as the club's official spokesperson:
"I have to kindly remind you, Mr. Journalist, that your questions are extremely disrespectful to our first six opponents, who in my eyes are no different from Juventus, and I will give my best to each one."
The reporter couldn't help but be a little disappointed when Long Shute refused to jump into the pit, but the player changed his words and took the initiative to put up a big flag for himself.
"Last season, there were media claims that Gianluigi Buffon was my biggest nemesis, and now ...... We can give it a try. ”
Buffon, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help but sneeze:
Is there any reason left?
The dignified emperor superstar, two-time Mr. Golden Ball, openly declared that he wanted to bully my young player Buffon!

October 6th.
A light rain began to fall over the city of Turin in the morning, and the entire Juventus Arena was covered in a thin curtain of rain.
The rain was a headache, and vice-captain Kaka twisted his ankle during the morning's warm-up, and although it was not an injury, Allegri had to cross his name from the starting line-up when he looked at his red and swollen ankle.
The captain's armband was therefore worn on the arm of the oldest goalkeeper, Abbiati.
"You know what, I hate rainy days."
As he walked out of the tunnel of the players, Balotelli, who was standing at the back of the line, said to Ronshette.
His face was full of sentimentality of a literary youth, and then he continued to explain:
"Because I can't see my favorite fireworks......"
Long Shute rolled his eyes, then reached out and patted the back of his head:
"If your post-match rating is more than 8 in this game, I'll show you that...... What is a real firework! ”
Balotelli's eyes widened for a moment:
"I feel empowered! Buffon, I'm coming! ”
Gianluigi Buffon, who was at the head of the Juventus queue, couldn't help but glance back at him.
Mario, stupid boy, what are you calling me for?

"The media often say that the Italian football market has declined in recent years, which is a bit regrettable but an indisputable fact. Whether it is from the investment of each club in the annual transfer market, the salary level of players, to the league's TV broadcast costs, advertising endorsement income, game attendance, to the game live broadcast technology, league packaging level, Serie A can not be compared with the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, some people attribute these problems to one factor, that is, economic problems, perhaps not without reason. ”
After all, Huang Feixiang, the former first brother of Serie A commentator, has been slacking off on his own job since he left CCTV, due to various reasons, he has already been greatly slack, and more often he can only rely on his former popularity and familiarity, far from being brave back then.
After the players on both sides observed a moment of silence for the refugee boat that sank near Lampedusa Island on October 3 (probably more than 350 people died), Zhan Tianjun also began to talk eloquently:
Among the 20 Serie A clubs, only Juventus has its own independent stadium, and the remaining 19 are all home stadiums rented from local stadiums, such as Milan and two renting a venue.
In this way, not only will the ticket revenue club not be able to get the lion's share, but more importantly, the equipment renewal, maintenance, and expansion of the stadium must be approved by the local government and the parliament before they can be implemented, and we all know that once everything has to be approved by the government, this time period is not too short......"
"Your analysis makes a lot of sense," agrees guest Zhang Lu.
"In fact, many stadiums in Italy are not only small in capacity, but also the stadiums are often old, the maintenance situation is not optimistic, and there are often a lot of problems in the issue of security and order, so many fans would rather choose to watch the game at home through the pay channel than go to the scene, to improve the situation, the whole of Italian football has a long way to go."
"That's right," Zhan Tianjun nodded, bringing the topic back, "Okay, with the whistle of the referee Gianluca Rocchi, this much-anticipated strong dialogue has begun!" ”

Kaka's unexpected injury disrupted Allegri's line-up and affected Ronshit's plans.
After all, with Kaka's current physical fitness, it is a little unrealistic for him to be the main attacker and break through the opponent, but it is perfect for him to be the wingman of Long Shute, attract firepower for his teammates on the field, and complete the final blow at the right time.
Even when the Brazilian king is the most frustrated, he still has the world's first-class consciousness and vision, not to mention that he has now returned to ninety percent of his peak state, if such a Kaka is willing to be Longshute's deputy, it is definitely a terrifying and terrible partner!
But unfortunately, in this stadium, Kaka can only sit helplessly in the stands and become the most ordinary spectator.
-
Juventus' stadium was rebuilt after the club's phone-gate slump on the demolition of the old stadium until 2011.
As Zhan Tianjun said, the Italian government is extremely inefficient, and in order to buy the ownership of this stadium, Juventus spent six years just negotiating! The local government then evaluates and approves the demolition and reconstruction plan submitted by the club...... It took another seven or eight years!
And this is a domestic giant like Juventus......
If it were any other club, I'm afraid it would cost even more.
So you should know why Italian teams don't have their own stadiums......
-
Juventus' new stadium is quite modern, but with a capacity of only 41,000 seats, it is clear that it is not that the club is short of money, but that they have made a rigorous assessment of the current market.
Although the previous Del Alp Stadium had 69,000 seats, the attendance rate has been below 7% for a long time, and the reduction of capacity to 41,000 will not have much impact on ticket revenue, but can make the team's home atmosphere more enthusiastic.
With the removal of the previous runway, the distance between the stands and the playing field will be significantly reduced, allowing home fans to put more pressure on the away players.
Under such pressure, AC Milan began to challenge one of their strongest opponents so far this season.
-
"Drop!"
Balotelli knocked the ball to Niang, who passed back to Ronjut and the game began.
Instead of following the usual opening pattern and passing the ball to a defender or a wide team-mate at the first time, Ronshit moved forward with the ball.
Juve striker Carlos Tevez was the first to rush in front of him, stretching out his foot to break the ball from under his feet without saying a word.
The diminutive Tevez was quite ferocious with his feet, but Ronshette only made a feint to break through and shake the Argentine beast away.
As soon as he crossed the center circle with the ball, he was confronted by three fierce men wearing black and white sword stripes.
Covavod Asamoah, Arturo Vidal, Claudio Marchisio, are all midfielders known for their toughness in defence!
In the face of the combination of these three strong men, even Ronshit had a headache, so he had to distribute the ball to Abate, who was following from behind, and then passed between Vidal and Marchisio with his bare feet.
Seeing that Longshut began to speed up without the ball, Juve's three midfielders also quickly turned around and chased back.
But where can they catch up?
Abate only took five small steps with the ball before he glanced up at the middle and prepared to cross with his feet.
He only took five small steps before Ronshette reached the top of Juventus' penalty area from the middle circle.
Abate wasn't too surprised by the midfielder's pace, so his only thought now was to pass the ball well and get a nice assist.
But...... As soon as he got to his feet, a black and white figure pounced on him.
Quagliarella grabs the ball with her toes before it takes off!
Damn it!
Abate pouted, his assist was gone!
The trajectory of the ball had clearly changed dramatically, flying directly over Ronjut's head and into the Juventus penalty area.
Balotelli leaned on Chiellini and tried to pass back to Ronsette, but was kicked out by Bonucci, who was in the first position.
But the football still fell at the feet of the Milan players, and Nocerino, who was quickly following from the middle, met the ball and directly rounded his thigh!
"Nocerino shoots the ball!"
As soon as Zhan Tianjun spit out this sentence, his face couldn't help but change.
Because Nocerino...... Kick the flawed......
Maybe it was the rain, it should have been a straight shot, but Nocerino kicked the ball to the edge of the box!
Nocerino couldn't help but hug his head, why did he carry it like this?!
In the key matchup against Juventus, as a defender, I am afraid that I will only have one or two shooting opportunities in one game, and I will be wasted by myself!
As soon as he hugged the back of his head with both hands, he saw that the football he kicked out suddenly refracted on the edge of the penalty area!
Why is it refracted?
Nocerino's eyes widened.
Oh...... There stood the black midfielder Montari!
Muntari swears that in his daily training routines, there is absolutely no such tactic as his turn to rush up and attack!
But he inexplicably appeared on the edge of the penalty area, watching Nocerino's "burst" fly in front of him, and then he subconsciously stretched out his right foot, and the football changed its trajectory and flew into the Juventus goal impartially!
Buffon twisted his neck with a sluggish expression.
This ball...... Just got in?
It's not Ronshit, it's not Balotelli, it's not Niang, it's not even Montolivo and Nocerino, the two midfielders with some attacking ability, but the most unimpressive Muntari!
I Buffon has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!
