Chapter 938 The Opponent Is Strong, Be Careful
Scored 20 goals in four rounds of the league without conceding a goal, ranking first in the standings.
This is the report card that the Juventus club handed over at the beginning of the 2011-2012 season.
This summer, all the top players in Serie A have made targeted reinforcements.Roma has invested heavily in signings, Milan duo have targeted reinforcements, Naples, Fiorentina and other veteran teams have emerged new stars. With the Serie A team as a whole being strengthened, all experts and fans believe that this season will be a chaotic battle.
Unexpectedly, judging from the beginning, this season has become the unique performance of the Juventus family.
This summer, Yunsheng recruited troops and brought in many strong reinforcements, including Van Persie, Pirlo, Ronaldinho, Lichtsteiner...
These players have quickly become an important core of the team in the new season, and have shown their due strength in the first four games.
And several veteran Trezeguet, Guti, Ballack and other players still maintained the outstanding performance of last season, and their outstanding performance is also an important basis for Juventus to be invincible at the beginning.
Now countless Juventus fans are looking forward to one thing, that is when Juventus can bring this excellent state to the Champions League and be invincible in the Champions League.
The fourth round of Serie A on September 9 has ended. Three days later, on the evening of September 12, Juventus will be a guest at the Metalist Stadium in Ukraine, ushering in the first game of the UEFA Champions League group stage this season. Their opponent is the Ukrainian giant Shakhtar Donetsk.
In the six Champions League group matches this season, the schedule actually puts a lot of pressure on Juventus.
In the first three games, Juventus played against Shakhtar Donetsk, Porto and Atletico Madrid respectively, and all three games were played away.
In the next three games, Juventus played three consecutive home games against Atletico Madrid, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk.
After the game on the 12th, Juventus players and coaches arrived in Ukraine one day earlier on the 14th.
Being able to play in this stadium is very exciting for many players in the Juventus team.
Because this is one of the venues for the 2012 European Cup, they are likely to represent the national team here a year later.
At present, Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands and other teams have already qualified ahead of schedule, and the players of their respective teams in the Juventus team are also full of expectations for next year's European Cup.
On the morning of the 15th, the Juventus team adapted to the venue at the Metalist Stadium. Many young players came to this stadium for the first time, and their faces were full of curiosity.
This stadium is a top football stadium in Ukraine, which can accommodate 38000 seats. It can become one of the venues for the 2012 Poland-Ukraine European Cup. The status of this stadium is evident.
Stepping on the turf in the middle of the court, several players chatted easily among themselves.
Buffon patted Lichtsteiner on the shoulder: "Guys, you are now ranked third in the group, only one point behind Montenegro. There is still a great chance. I hope to see your Swiss team in the European Cup next year."
Lichtsteiner's eyes were firm: "It's a pity that we lost too many points before. We will definitely go all out in the next game and try to overtake Montenegro to break through!"
Buffon nodded, and he said to himself: "That guy Nedved is also very anxious. Although he has retired, he is temporarily serving as the technical director of the Czech team. The situation in the Czech Republic is also very urgent now. Scotland behind them is only one point away from them. This European Cup qualifier is very difficult."
Near the goal, Del Piero and Raúl were also chatting. Although Italy and Spain have already advanced, the two veterans have not been selected for the national team again. Although they once said that as long as the national team needs them, they are willing to play for the country at any time.
The excellent performance last season also made the fans of the two countries shout, hoping that the head coaches of their respective national teams can consider bringing them to the competition next year.
However, looking at the selection of their respective national teams, they did not include Del Piero and Raul in their plans.
Piero stepped on the lawn vigorously, adapting to the grass conditions here: "Gonzalez, I really want to participate in another European Cup. Although the Italian national team has a lot of talents, I think I still have enough competitiveness."
Raul also said with emotion: "Spain has achieved very good results in the competitions in recent years, and there are many newcomers, and there is no place for me. I also want to wear the jersey of the Spanish team again..."
Veterans who are also looking forward to participating in another European Cup include Guti, Ballack, Grosso, and Trezeguet. They have worked hard on the court in the past two seasons, not only for the team, but also for themselves.
The reason is that only the newcomers laugh, but the old ones cry.
In this European Cup, if we can play again, that would be the best way to say goodbye...
After the warm-up, on the bus back to the hotel, Yunsheng told the players again: "Guys, I don't want to talk about the tactical arrangements for this game. I just want to tell you one thing again—never take it lightly!"
"We have been almost invincible in the league during this period. I am proud of your performance. But when we return to the Champions League this season, every opponent is not easy. Especially today's opponent Shakhtar Donetsk. It is no exaggeration to say that I even think they have a chance to win the Champions League this season! I am definitely not lying!"
"The opponent is very strong, be careful!"
Yun Sheng once again told the players to be careful, and everyone nodded in agreement. On the surface, there should be no problem.
But Yun Sheng didn't quite know what everyone was thinking.
Cannavaro, who was sitting on the other side of Yunsheng, didn't care: "Sir, let me ask you a secret question. You ask the players not to take it lightly. This should be a routine, right? After all, our opponent is just a small Ukrainian team, not a giant in the five major leagues. How can we have too much strength. I think we can even win them in just 45 minutes!"
Speed, who was sitting next to Yunsheng, was also a little puzzled: "Sir, recently we have watched a lot of Shakhtar Donetsk game videos. Although they are good, they are just bullying the underdogs in Ukraine. Can their offense and defense really withstand our aggressive attacks?"
Hearing what his two assistant coaches said, Yun Sheng frowned even more. He shook his head vigorously, looked at Cannavaro, then at Speed, and sighed softly.
"I didn't expect that even the two of you said that, maybe this game will be more difficult than I imagined..."
