Chapter 251 Juventus (second more monthly pass)

After playing against Manchester City, Liverpool ushered in the first round of the Champions League knockout round.

Their opponent is Juventus from Italy.

The home and away order of the Champions League knockouts is not determined by the draw, at least not in the first eighth-finals.

The group is the first to visit and then the host, this schedule is more favorable.

This is why so many teams have to squeeze their heads and fight for the first place in a group.

If the schedule is favorable and the opponent is not very strong, you can go further in the Champions League knockout round. The teams that have the strength to win the championship rush to the championship, and the ones that are not are also thinking about winning a few more games and splitting more bonuses.

Liverpool is first in the group and Juventus is second in the group, so this time Liverpool is playing away first and playing at home.

Even if they have some mistakes on the away game, they can find a way back home. If you play at home first, you will be driving yourself to Liangshan. In the first game, you must strive to win, not only to win, but to win as much as possible to get more goal difference, so as not to let the opponent come back after returning to his home court.

The team that played away first was much more relaxed. Even if you accidentally lose the game away, as long as you don't lose too much, you still have a chance to return to the home court.

After the match with Manchester City, with the honor of just setting a new record, Chen Yingxiong followed the team on the plane to Turin.

Start his Champions League knockout tour.

Before this game, the Italian media paid great attention to and evaluated Chen Yingxiong.

The Italian media know how powerful Chen Yingxiong is. When he was still playing in Naples, he had already used practical actions to let the media know this.

So no one dares to look down upon Chen Yingxiong, even though he has been away from the highest stage of European football for two years.

Coupled with the fact that he just broke the record of consecutive goals set by Ged Mueller in the last league game, the limelight is in full swing. If anyone underestimates him at this time, he really can't use the "IQ problem" to explain it.

Therefore, during this period, the Italian media have been repeatedly saying that Chen Yingxiong will be the Liverpool player that Juventus needs the most attention. Even if everyone else is not off, Chen Yingxiong must be frozen. Because Chen Yingxiong’s role is more than just scoring goals. He relies on himself to score goals. Now he has become a certain mental totem of Liverpool. As long as he scores, Liverpool’s players feel that everything is normal and they will win. The game was full of confidence, no matter how strong the opponent was in that game.

Chen Yingxiong has dared to reach the point where his performance is a barometer of Liverpool's performance.

If he performs well, his mental totem is normal, and the whole team is normal. If he does not perform well, his mental totem is in danger of collapse. Under this situation, Liverpool is in danger, so how can he still have the mind to play a good game?

Juventus coach Conte thinks that what the media likes and is best at is talking nonsense, which is similar to that of politicians.

I also know that Chen Yingxiong is dangerous and is Liverpool's most terrifying player. But the question is how to deal with him!

You guys are telling the truth!

On this worldwide problem, no one has given a valuable answer.

Conte had to explore it himself.

Conte now feels how excited he was when Chen Yingxiong was still in Serie A. Although Chen Yingxiong was also strong at that time, he had many weaknesses that could be exploited.

However, now Chen Yingxiong has a tendency to develop towards a super invincible all-around center.

Want to find out his weakness and use it...it's difficult!

When Liverpool landed at the airport in Turin, in addition to the Liverpool fans who came to Turin to pick up the plane in advance, there were also some "mysterious guests".

They wore sky blue jerseys, which looked very dazzling among a group of Liverpool fans wearing red jerseys.

In England, the red-blue confrontation is an eternal theme. Basically, the relationship between the red team and the blue team is not very good. Just like Liverpool and Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton, Manchester United and Manchester City...

However, these Liverpool fans and the group of fans wearing sky blue jerseys are in peace, and some even talked happily.

These people are not Everton nor Manchester City fans, they are fans in Italy.

They are from Naples, a city in southern Italy.

Yes, they are all fans of Naples.

This time it is here to cheer on Chen Yingxiong.

Naples and Juventus are feuds. If Liverpool want to play Juventus, Chen Yingxiong is tantamount to avenging Naples. This season, Naples failed to qualify for the Champions League because it was given to Juventus at the end of last season. Squeezed down. This has deepened the hatred of Naples fans towards Juventus.

In their view, even if Chen Yingxiong is no longer a player from Naples, as long as he is playing Juventus, he should be cheered for.

What's more, after the draw result was released, Chen Yingxiong said: "I haven't forgotten the years I used to play in Naples."

This sentence made many Naples fans cheered.

Because they all know that Chen Yingxiong has not forgotten his roots, he is very aware of the hatred between Naples and Juventus. Even if he represents Liverpool, he will never show mercy when playing Juventus!

These people came to support Chen Yingxiong because of this.

They even bought tickets not only to support Chen Yingxiong at the airport, but also to support him on the spot.

As soon as Chen Yingxiong came out, he saw the sky blue in a large swath of red.

He is not surprised at all. He is well aware of the hatred between Naples and Juventus, so he comes to Italy to play and play Juventus. The Naples fans will definitely come to support him.

Because of having played for Naples, Chen Yingxiong is not cold to Juventus either.

To avenge Naples, Chen Yingxiong didn't mind doing so at all.

It's just handy.

Anyway, it is to win.

※※※

Conte did not allow the players to talk to Chen Yingxiong. Now everyone knows that there are very few people who can take advantage of Dazui Hang with Chen Yingxiong, or win in the end. No one can take advantage of it not just in terms of lip service, even in the final result of the game, few people can win.

Rather than arouse the opponent's anger with a war of words, it is better to act in a low-key manner. Maybe you can paralyze the opponent?

If you insist on saying that Chen Yingxiong has any weakness, maybe his character is the biggest weakness.

When encountering a powerful enemy, Chen Yingxiong will burst out with very powerful energy.

But if he encounters an opponent who is too weak, he might not be able to refresh himself.

This person is a little emotional.

Conte felt that irritating him, only to make him hate Juventus deeper, so as to pay more attention to it, when the time comes to defeat Juventus, it will not be worthwhile.

If Conte's low-key approach is known to people, I'm afraid that many Juventus fans will be yelled at by many Juventus fans.

But now the situation is better than people. If you are not low-key, do you have any other effective ways to stop Chen Yingxiong?

Who made Chen Yingxiong so powerful?

When a century-old giant like Juventus faced him, he had to bow his head first and lower his posture.

※※※

Conte’s approach made Chen Yingxiong very boring. He played Juventus. He had a lot to say. When he played in Naples, he had to smash with Juventus at least twice every season. That story can be told for a long time.

Just waiting for a suitable opportunity, he doesn't mind giving Juventus fans a recap of the past.

But Juventus did not give him such a chance.

Juventus has no one to speak, whether it is coach Conte or the players. Everyone remained silent, and even the local media in Turin did not show any offensive behavior-Chen Yingxiong understands Italian, so he can naturally know what the media will say for the first time.

This makes him very upset.

Very upset.

You are giants Juventus, and this is your place! Do you show some vibes like a snake?

Okay, don't say anything, I'll come!

After adjusting to the training venue before the game, Chen Yingxiong was surrounded by Italian journalists.

Chen Yingxiong has played for three seasons in Naples, so he has many familiar faces in the Italian press, and everyone likes to interview him. Because he dared to say anything with his big mouth.

When interviewing him, a reporter asked him what he thought of the game.

Chen Yingxiong was overjoyed in his heart, and someone brought pillows when he was really dozing off.

What I need is this kind of question, otherwise it would be too abrupt to speak up rashly.

He chuckled: "Obviously, Juventus is afraid of us!"

When this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Seeing the surprised reporters, Chen Yingxiong further explained: "Why do you say that? Because I have been in Turin for almost a day, I haven't heard any Juventus players have expressed opinions on this game, don't they? Do you know that tomorrow is the game? So I think they must be afraid of us, so scared by us that they can't even speak! Hahaha!"

Chen Yingxiong's words were too rampant, too arrogant. So that some of the reporters who supported Juventus in the interview couldn't stand it anymore, and their faces immediately became ugly.

We praise you, value you, and treat you as a respectable opponent. How can you humiliate us so much? !

What makes us afraid of you? !

However, the anger of these people is only temporary, because many people have calmed down, and then think of a series of actions by Juventus during this period.

If people say that they are afraid of him, it seems really reasonable...

This kind of cowering look, isn't it possible for Chen Yingxiong to be afraid?

Alas, I can’t live up to it, no wonder others look down on us!
