Chapter 364 Arrival in Turin (Daily Transition)

Located in northern Italy, Turin is the third largest city in the Apennines.

Hundreds of years ago, it was an important political center in Europe.

Its nicknames are "the cradle of freedom", "the capital of the Alps", and "the sweetest place in the Apennines".

The city has two clubs: Torino and Juventus.

The former has more local fans.

'Juventus' means "young people" in Latin, so why is it called an old woman?

Legend has it that the conditions were very poor in the early days of the club, and an old woman often came to deliver meals to the players.

As for the nickname of the Zebras, there are many different opinions, among which the more authentic one is that Juventus' jersey was originally pink, and the supplier mistakenly sent them Notts County's black and white striped jerseys. The club thought the black and white color was also pretty good, so it continued to use it.

As for the "phone gate" incident in the early 21st century? It's a long story.

Wednesday.

The Champions League semi-final is coming.

After finishing the morning training, Li Kang and his teammates took a plane to Turin.

I didn't watch the video of Juventus again, because Allegri is likely to do "experiments", just like the Champions League final of the 2014-15 season, playing against Barcelona with Xavi and MSN.

It's better to watch "Totti's Jokes".

Maguire was very nervous. He felt that he was slowly approaching the peak of his life, even if he didn't get a chance to start in this game.

Welbeck was humbly asking Morata: how to find a girlfriend of the second generation with a hot body through online dating.

Cazorla closed his eyes and rested.

Sanchez was full of fighting spirit.

Giroud said seriously: "Lee, I will defend against the fat man Higuain!"

Koscielny smiled and said: "Didn't the boss say it before we set off? You don't need to retreat too deep in positional defense."

Wenger and the coaching staff continued to improve the tactical deployment before the game.

The professor is old and can't keep up with the ever-changing tactical craze of the Premier League, but the tactical betting rate against traditional European giants is still very high.

"Juventus's two-wing attack is very strong. They are likely to frequently suppress Bellerin's side. This point cannot be ignored."

"Boss, are you saying that Juventus will attack us?"

"No, it's misaligned suppression."

Turin Airport.

Li Kang and his teammates walked out of the airport pick-up gate.

The club did not disclose the specific itinerary, resulting in not many fans coming to the scene.

When a few supporters who stayed up late at the airport to wait woke up, all the members of Arsenal had already boarded the bus.

The security personnel felt relieved.

"John, have you heard? In order to avoid racial discrimination in this game, Juventus has carried out a lot of public welfare activities during this period."

"That children's activities organized by UNESCO? It's useless."

"Watch carefully, how many players in the Arsenal lineup will be booed like monkeys!"

Juventus' extreme fans are very chaotic.

Many people are also admirers of ***.

Security personnel often launch raids, and automatic rifles, pistols, armor-piercing bullets, and even ground-to-air missiles can be found in their bases.

Many players and coaches have received death threats.

The blacklist of the Turin Allianz Stadium is constantly adding new names every year, which shows how strong these extreme fan organizations are in absorbing fresh blood.

As for racial discrimination, it is often a token of loyalty from newcomers.

‘A lifetime of black and white’.

The Arsenal bus arrived at the Turin Allianz Stadium smoothly.

That’s right.

Juventus’ home stadium is also the home of the German Allianz Insurance Group, which has obtained the title sponsorship rights.

There are countless Allianz stadiums around the world.

The Turin Allianz Stadium is very young. It opened in 2011 and can only accommodate more than 40,000 spectators, but the exterior and interior are full of technology, with the most advanced lighting, sound and special effects solutions.

No matter where you sit in the basin-shaped stands, you can hear clear and gentle broadcasts.

It is also the first stadium in Serie A that is fully owned by a club.

Pre-match press conference.

Allegri and Wenger shook hands.

The relationship between the two is not as awkward as it seems to the outside world: Arsenal executives had privately contacted the Juventus coach during the "anti-Wenger frenzy" last season, but were rejected by the latter. This behavior was seen by the media as disrespectful to Wenger.

There was no long greeting.

The two coaches soon began to accept interviews from media reporters.

Most of the questions were thrown to Wenger first.

"Juventus is a strong opponent. They are not only the Serie A overlord, but also one of the strong contenders for the Champions League title in recent years."

"Li is in very good condition. He has had enough rest. I believe he will show his power to change the game again."

Allegri was neither hurried nor slow, and his tone was gentle.

"Both sides have very good players. I look forward to their wonderful performances."

The Juventus coach tried to restrain his expression. The cordial word "囧Uncle" has crossed the ocean from the distant Eastern country and spread to every piece of land in Turin.

Even if Italian fans do not know Chinese, they can associate the word "囧" with Allegri's expression.

Player channel

Pjanic gently hit Li Kang's chest.

The two knew each other when they first participated in the Champions League draw ceremony.

"You have grown well! How come you are so much taller than me?"

"You won't be able to knock me over so easily this time."

After Pjanic came to Juventus, his fighting power skyrocketed. He no longer played as a front-end core player in the Roma period, but stood in the "Pirlo area".

He did not think he was Pirlo's successor.

But he was raised like a "little Pirlo" in the Allegri system, with a lot of big brothers in front and behind him to clean up the ass and do the dirty work, which covered up his flaws to the maximum extent and magnified his dispatching and organizational abilities.

In the minds of Juventus fans, it was a great value to sell Pogba for 100 million and buy Pjanic for 32 million.

Buffon pushed aside the zebra midfield and gave Li Kang a simple hug.

The hug of two generations in football.

Turin Allianz Stadium.

The red ship flares were lit on the south stand.

The flames burst.

The smoke billowed.

"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, dear viewers."

"Now we are broadcasting the semi-finals of the 2016-17 Champions League!"

"Juventus vs. Arsenal at home!"

"A battle that is watched by the whole world!"

"The team with the most goals in the Champions League this season is facing the team with the fewest goals conceded."
