Chapter 129: Initial Test
, the latest chapter is updated the fastest!
Juventus is obsessed with Arsenal. Not only did they snatch the Champions League title from them, but they also eliminated Juventus in the semi-finals in the following season.
It can be said that every time Juventus encounters Arsenal, it is difficult for them to play and play a role.
As the head coach of Juventus, Allegri is the same.
He is in the same situation as Juventus and has been suppressed by Arsenal in the Champions League.
Every time they have a good performance in the European war, Arsenal will come out and eliminate them directly.
It can be said that in recent years, Arsenal has almost become the most hated club of Juventus across the division.
While hating it, Juventus is also slightly afraid of Arsenal.
After all, they have never won even a small game in the games against Arsenal in recent seasons.
For this reason, Juventus fans are shouting fiercely, but they are slightly worried in their hearts.
However, this year is different. Juventus has welcomed the joining of Ronaldo, a strong reinforcement. They believe that with the strength of Ronaldo and Juventus as a whole, they can challenge Arsenal and even eliminate the opponent.
For this reason, Juventus' home stadium also attracted a large number of fans.
They all came to watch this revenge battle.
The whole of Turin was boiling. The restart of the Champions League was a heavyweight knockout match.
They couldn't miss this moment.
They wanted to see the glorious moment of the team defeating Arsenal at home.
Of course, this is not an easy thing, but they believe that their warriors can play very beautifully.
"Dybala!
!"
In the passage leading to the stadium, the fans' fierce voices rang out.
The little magic fairy Dybala has become the darling of Juventus at present.
Based on his outstanding performance, Juventus and Ronaldo have achieved excellent results.
In the league, Juventus also topped the list and they are still dominating the Serie A league.
But after several consecutive championships, Juventus fans have long been tired of the league championship. They want something new, such as the Champions League.
"Show your ability, we don't want to be second anymore!"
"Your magic can help us beat Arsenal, go! Dybala!"
"Man! You are the best, don't doubt yourself."
Amid the fierce cheers and applause from the scene, Dybala smiled and waved as he walked into the stadium.
Soon, Juventus players also appeared one after another, and the fans did not hesitate to cheer and applaud.
Until Ronaldo's last appearance, the cheers on the scene suddenly rose.
"Ronaldo, you are the best shooter!"
"Shoot Arsenal!"
"We believe in you!"
"Go! Ronaldo! With the honor of Juventus!"
"We want to hold the cup! We want the Champions League!"
Ronaldo's face was also full of smiles. When he first came to Turin, he was loved by the enthusiastic Juventus fans, and he also liked this feeling of being highly respected.
Moreover, he has a high degree of autonomy in Juventus, and his status in the team is even higher.
For this reason, Ronaldo has always been the main scorer of Juventus in the league and European wars.
Of course, compared with the Real Madrid period, Juventus' overall strength is still a little worse.
In other words, the stability is not enough.
However, Ronaldo thinks this is not a problem. Once they adjust their state, they have the ability to defeat any team.
Amid cheers, Ronaldo walked into the stadium, and the Juventus fans at the scene were reluctant to disperse for a long time. They sang songs on the spot to inspire the players.
On the other side, Arsenal's entrance area was a little deserted.
Except for some Arsenal fans who came from afar, there were not many people here.
However, Arsenal fans also gave them enough enthusiasm.
And Arsenal fans do not think Juventus can beat them. This season, no team can beat them. They firmly believe in this.
The entire Arsenal team got off the bus led by Mourinho.
They walked into the stadium bathed in cheers.
Under the guidance of the staff, they entered the visiting team's locker room.
The jerseys and game equipment were ready. After walking into the locker room, Mourinho clapped his hands and said:
"Now announce the starting lineup."
Hearing this, the scene suddenly became quiet.
In the second half of the season, Arsenal's forward line has changed a lot, so the so-called main force is no longer so stable.
At least, Mane and Aubameyang's positions have been challenged by Dembele.
Mane, Aubameyang, and Dembele all looked at Mourinho nervously.
No one wants to miss the Champions League, especially for the three of them.
In the tense atmosphere, Mourinho took the lead in announcing the starting midfield and backcourt, without any changes, all the main players started.
When it was the forward line's turn, Mourinho paused for a moment, then looked at Dembele and said; "In this game, Aubameyang and Dembele will play on the left and right wings, and Giroud will play as the center forward!"
Hearing this, Dembele clenched his fist violently.
He worked hard in Arsenal and finally got a chance to start in the Champions League a month later.
This is a very crucial piece of information.
Aubameyang and Dembele played brilliantly with the forward cooperation.
For this reason, Mourinho intends to continue this style of play in the Champions League, so that Arsenal can burst out more offensive firepower.
After announcing the starting lineup, everyone began to change into training clothes and ran out to warm up.
The Juventus Arena has just completed renovation and expansion. In order to make the entire stadium look particularly novel, many lighting equipment appeared in the stadium, and the overall brightness should be brighter.
Moreover, the audience seats are very close to the stadium, and the players can fully receive the cheers of the fans.
Of course, this is not friendly to Arsenal. After all, they are playing away. As Juventus' opponents, the fans will not give them any cheers.
A small number of Arsenal fans are entrenched in the north stand.
In this game, Juventus only gave Arsenal 2,000 tickets, which is a bit stingy.
However, in recent times, it is not easy to buy tickets for Arsenal's away games.
After all, many teams don't want to see too many Arsenal fans gathering at their home stadium. After all, after winning, these guys celebrated for too long.
As the Champions League quarter-finals, it is a confrontation between Arsenal and Juventus, the two Premier League and Serie A champions.
There are many star players in both teams, and the camera can hardly turn around.
Lucky and Ronaldo are undoubtedly the focus of this game.
Both of them are the core players of the team and have strong autonomy. It can be said that the performance of these two people can determine the outcome of the game.
In addition, the abilities of players such as Dembele, Aubameyang, Giroud, Dybala, Mandzukic, Kante, Matuyindi, etc. are also very strong.
For this reason, this game will definitely be a battle of dragons and tigers.
On the sidelines, the two head coaches Mourinho and Allegri were also looking at the court seriously.
Compared with Mourinho's slightly calm attitude, Allegri frowned.
After all, facing an Arsenal that has not lost a game this season, no one can guarantee that they can win the game. Even if they have the bonus of Ronaldo, they still dare not take it lightly.
Allegri stared at Arsenal's half.
His eyes were always on Luka and Kante.
These two are undoubtedly the most difficult mountains for Arsenal to overcome.
Kante is relatively easy, after all, his task is only to defend, so he can make more adjustments and changes on the offensive end.
But facing a Luka who can attack and defend and is almost omnipotent, he has a headache.
In fact, when any head coach meets Arsenal, the first problem they have to consider is how to fight against Luka in the midfield.
Obviously, this is a very headache.
Whether it is personal ability or the overall pressure of the midfield, it is difficult to suppress Arsenal, and there is even a danger of being suppressed by the opponent.
It can be said that if it is not good, it may be caught off guard by the opponent.
Allegri wants to use Tottenham's tactics in this game. After all, so far, it is Tottenham that has caused great trouble to Arsenal.
Arsenal will also be alert and make some adjustments, but in the short term, Allegri really can't find any good solutions.
This is the most troublesome thing about facing Arsenal, and there is no tactical point to target.
The only core point is Lucky, who is still very difficult to target.
Therefore, Juventus needs the players to maintain the best condition and try to bring crisis to Arsenal's defense.
