Prominence in Football Community

In the controversy caused by Gao Zheng's "I'm such a dick", the match between Sampdoria and Juventus also came.

In this game, Sampdoria is away to challenge Juventus.

Although as a newly promoted polo team, Sampdoria's performance this season is pretty good, but they are not worth mentioning when compared with Juventus.

As the league champion last season, Juventus' goal this season is of course to defend the title.

After the "Telephone Gate" incident in the summer of 2006, it took them six years to return to the league championship.

Last season, they won the league championship with an unbeaten record, 38 league rounds, 23 wins, 15 draws, and zero losses.

This is the first team to win the championship with an unbeaten record since the 2004-2005 season when the Serie A expanded to 20 participating teams. And they also broke the previous record of 34 unbeaten league championships held by AC Milan, because they were unbeaten in 38 rounds, four more league rounds than AC Milan...

Looking at the entire Serie A history, before them, only Perugia in the 1978-1979 season and AC Milan in the 1991-1992 season have achieved unbeaten seasons and won the championship. In Perugia, there were fewer participating teams, only 16 participating teams.

The more participating teams, the more games need to be played, and the more difficult it is to keep the league unbeaten and win the championship.

This shows how powerful this Juventus team is now.

And this season, they also maintained an unbeaten record until they met Inter Milan, and finally lost to Inter Milan at home 1:3. The unbeaten record of 49 consecutive games across the season ended.

However, this did not affect Juventus' results in the slightest.

In addition to defeating Parma 2:0 in the first round,

Only ranked fourth, rose to first from the second round, and has been in this position since then.

Even if they lose to Inter Milan at home in the 11th round of the league, even if they lose to AC Milan away in the 14th round of the league, they are still number one.

Because except for the two games they lost, they only drew two games and won all other games.

They are now top of the table with 44 points, eight ahead of second-placed Napoli.

Halfway through the schedule, although there is no such thing as a winter break champion in Serie A, Juventus is actually the champion in the first half of Serie A.

But even so, Juventus, whether it is club officials, coach Conte, or players, no one said that their defense this season is a foregone conclusion.

And Gao Zheng is now only two goals ahead in the scorer list, so he dared to clamor to book the Golden Boot.

The comparison between the two naturally makes the Italians unhappy.

It feels like being kicked out by an outsider.

Now all of Italy, except for Sampdoria supporters, probably think that Juventus is the best opponent to teach the arrogant Gao Zheng a lesson.

Because their defense is really good.

If it must be said that Gao Zheng is currently the sharpest spear in Serie A, then Juventus is the strongest shield in Serie A.

In the 18 rounds of the league this season, Juventus conceded only 11 goals, the team with the fewest conceded goals. Six goals less than Naples, who conceded the second fewest goals. What's interesting is that in the current league rankings, the team's ranking is inversely proportional to the number of goals conceded. Juventus, which concedes the fewest goals, ranks first. Naples, who conceded the second fewest goals, ranked second. The third-ranked team is Lazio, who conceded 18 goals, the third-fewest team. The next fourth and fifth place Fiorentina both conceded 19 goals, making them the fourth least conceded team.

In contrast, Sampdoria has conceded 21 goals so far this season.

In fact, this number of goals conceded is not too much in the entire Serie A, but it is not enough compared with Juventus.

Juventus' good defense is not just a matter of this season. Last season, the team was able to win the championship with an unbeaten record, and their defense contributed a lot.

Last season, Juventus scored 68 goals in 38 league rounds. This number of goals ranked second in Serie A that season. AC Milan scored 74 goals, which was the most offensive firepower in Serie A last season. fierce team.

But why did Juventus win the championship in the end, and it was a four-point gap.

Just because Juventus only conceded 20 goals last season, this conceded the fewest goals in Serie A, conceding 13 goals less than the second-placed AC Milan.

The thirteen goals lost widened the gap between Juventus and AC Milan.

Analyzing the scoring and conceding data of the Serie A championship team in the last five seasons, it will be found that "defense wins the championship" is justified, especially in Serie A-the team that can win the championship may not be the most capable team. The team that scores goals must be the team that concedes the fewest goals.

In the 2oo7-2oo8 season, the league champion Inter Milan scored 69 goals and conceded 26 goals, the fewest conceded goals. The teams with the most goals in the season were Roma and Juventus, both scoring 72 goals, but they can only rank second and third because they both conceded 37 goals.

In the 2oo8-2oo9 season, Inter Milan, the league champion, scored 70 goals and tied with AC Milan for the most goals, but conceded 32 goals, the least in the league. Although AC Milan has strong offensive firepower, they conceded three more goals than Inter Milan and finally ranked third.

In the 2oo9-2o1o season, the league champion Inter Milan scored 75 goals, the most in the league, and conceded 34 goals, the least in the league.

In the 2010-2011 season, AC Milan, the league champion, scored 65 goals, not the most, but conceded 20 goals, the least. Inter Milan, which scored the most goals, scored 69 goals, but it ranked second because it conceded 42 goals.

This shows the importance of defense to the championship.

Juventus' defensive excellence is inseparable from one of their souls, that is their captain and living legend Gianluigi Buffon among goalkeepers.

It was the goalkeeper's outstanding performance that allowed Juventus to win the championship with an unbeaten record last season.

Buffon conceded just 16 goals in 35 league appearances last season, with Juventus conceding four goals in the three games he didn't feature. He had a clean sheet in one game last season.

He is the most reliable patron saint in front of Juventus.

Buffon, who was born on January 28, 1978, is 34 years old this year, and his condition is still excellent. Sixteen league appearances this season, including seven clean sheets.

In fact, it is not appropriate to describe him as a goalkeeper. It is probably more appropriate to use the term "keeper".

And this "goal god" is the opponent Gao Zheng will face in this game.

※※※

When Gao Zheng finished his pre-match warm-up from the stadium and was about to return to the locker room, he met Buffon in the player tunnel of the Juventus Arena.

The meeting between the two was completely accidental. Although Gao Zheng had heard of Buffon's famous name, he was not familiar with him, so he didn't intend to say hello to him at first, so he just passed by.

But what surprised him was that Buffon stopped him.

"Hey, lad."

Gao Zheng was stunned for a moment at first, then looked left and right, and found that there were only the two of them in the corridor, so he pointed to himself and asked Buffon, "Are you calling me?"

"Of course, who else could it be?"

"What do you want me to do, Monsieur Buffon?"

"Well, I just want to tell you that I have no personal grievances with you, but I will definitely try my best not to let you score in this game. I just hope you can learn to respect others." Buffon said.

Gao Zheng shook his head and said: "It seems that our understanding of 'respect' is different. The respect for others I understand is to go all out in the game."

At this time Buffon had already walked in front of him.

The height difference between the two was almost the same, but he just stood there, but Gao Zheng still felt tremendous pressure.

This is the aura of a world-class goalkeeper who has experienced many battles.

This is the champion goalkeeper of the World Cup!

When Chinese football was still struggling to reach the World Cup finals, they had already won the Hercules Gold Cup.

Regardless of age, if you look at qualifications, you are also Gao Zheng's senior.

It stands to reason that if they met in private, Gao Zheng, a junior in football, should also be respectful to Buffon.

No... Even if it wasn't a private meeting, even on this occasion, Gao Zheng should show enough respect to Buffon, because Buffon's qualifications are worthy of respect.

In fact, this is also the case. Juventus plays games with other teams, no matter what the relationship between the two teams is, or how the opponent players perceive Juventus as a team, they respect Buffon.

It is not humiliating or embarrassing for anyone to bow their heads in front of Buffon.

Not so for Gao Zheng.

But when the two stood together, Gao Zheng chose to look directly at Buffon, without any respect in his eyes.

Buffon was obviously surprised by Gao Zheng's reaction.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Gao Zheng.

And Gao Zheng looked at the football legend calmly with the same expression.

The eyes of the two men seemed to have clashed countless times.

This staring situation was not broken until other players from both sides entered the channel from the court and the locker room respectively.

Those later players from both sides saw such a strange scene.

Under everyone's gaze, Gao Zheng and Buffon separated, and Gao Zheng walked to the locker room first.

The Juventus players leaned forward and asked their captain curiously: "What's the matter, Gigi?"

"It's nothing." Buffon looked back at Gao Zheng's back.

Gao Zheng was also asked the same question by his Sampdoria teammate Marci: "What did Buffon ask you for?"

"It's nothing, we just discussed our views on the current football development trend."

Marcy rolled his eyes: "Ghosts believe it!"
