Chapter 1 Black and White

The referee team and players had not yet entered the arena.

The Allianz Stadium in Turin was already enveloped in cheerful background music.

It wasn't the stirring Champions League theme song, but the Juventus team anthem.

One hundred and twenty-six spotlights rhythmically flickered and moved, sometimes turning red, sometimes green, reflecting the black and white stands.

The star-studded Champions League flag in the center circle became a supporting role.

"Juve, story of a great love!"

"White embraces black!"

Li Kang followed the queue onto the field.

The noise in his ears was immediately covered by a mechanical, cold electronic synthesized sound.

[Ding, task triggered: Black and White.]

[Task description: Apennine moonlight, a twilight zebra, a black and white soul that never gives up. Who says a shield can't attack? The invincible Gunners will be silenced in the Alpine capital. You cannot escape unscathed!]

[Task reward: Del Piero "Area" Module (Mysterious).]

[This module is one of the fragments of the "Number 9 and a Half" legendary module.]

Li Kang was stunned.

Is the system narrator a fan of Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Juventus? Only when encountering these three teams does the interpretation use words of praise.

Del Piero Area?

The number 9 and a half, long eliminated by the times, disappeared without a trace?

"Now, let us introduce the starting lineups for both sides!"

"Juventus is fielding a 3-5-2 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Buffon!"

"Defenders: Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini."

"Midfielders: Alves, Pjanic, Dybala, Khedira, Sandro!"

"Forwards: Higuain, Mandzukic."

"The average age of Juventus' starting lineup is 30 years and 296 days, the second oldest average age in Champions League semi-final history! Second only to AC Milan in the 2006/07 season!"

Live broadcast room.

-<

[Youngster Buffon, the BBC of defense!]

-<

[Khedira's new girlfriend is so pretty, the director knows how to cut the camera.]

-<

[Which girlfriend of Face-bro isn't pretty? But I didn't understand why he abandoned Lena Gercke.]

-<

[An iron chain across the river, looking at Juventus' midfield and defense, I don't know how Giroud and Morata will get in.]

-<

[Higuain is so fat, what did he eat in Serie A? He's also balding, he was so handsome during his Real Madrid days.]

-<

[My deepest impression of Higuain is the one-on-one miss in the 2014 World Cup final. His career has too many regrets.]

"Arsenal is fielding a 4-4-2 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Cech."

"Defenders: Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal."

"Midfielders: Li Kang, Cazorla, Xhaka, Sanchez."

"Forwards: Giroud, Morata."

-<

[Li Mingdeng, add oil!]

-<

[What's going on? Wenger's 4-4-2 is so strange. These players' constellations and zodiac signs don't have much of an advantage against Buffon.]

-<

[Don't worry, the Professor's preemptive layout may not be applicable to those fancy "new coaches" in the Premier League, but it's still a big advantage against traditional powerhouses. Allegri only has so many cards in his hand.]

With the referee's whistle,

the match officially began.

Cheers like a surging flood, engulfing the entire Allianz Stadium in Turin,

Juventus possession.

Higuain kicked off and passed back to Pjanic.

The Bianconeri's wings did not advance quickly, but maintained their formation structure and advanced steadily.

"Morata, Giroud, and Sanchez's pressing and pressure are not very effective."

"Every player in Juventus' mid-backcourt has top-notch ball-playing ability... except for Barzagli."

"Hey? After advancing to the forty-meter area, their formation has changed a bit."

"Mandzukic pulled to the left wing, and Sandro advanced to the center."

"Beautiful! Pjanic inserted forward and connected with a long pass in an instant!"

"Among the young generation of players in the top five leagues, Kroos, Li Kang, De Bruyne, Pjanic, and Çalhanoğlu are jokingly called by fans: the Five Uniques of Midfield!"

"The five players with the most distinctive passing styles."

The evolution of club tactics is cruel. Entering 2017, in the top five leagues... deep-lying midfielders organizing the core have gradually been eliminated by the times.

This also made Pjanic more and more firmly believe that he was not Pirlo's successor.

In his first season at Juventus, he gradually evolved into a "ball-handling speed the fastest off-ball midfielder," but Allegri believed that he must be placed further back, forming a double ball-playing core with Bonucci in the mid-backcourt.

He also equipped himself with good partners in front and behind to wipe his ass and cover up his shortcomings.

Fortunately, the player's thinking did not contradict the coach's.

Thus.

The thin Pjanic became the player with the most running distance in the team.

"Bellerin's defensive positioning is very beautiful, preventing Mandzukic from turning around after receiving the ball!"

"Ouch! Can't hold on!"

Mandzukic has two different playing styles in the national team and the club.

When he plays in the league and the Champions League, he shows a very strong aggressiveness and is more versatile. He is simply the opposite example of the "national team version" Pogba.

Bellerin was very bitter. He wanted to limit the Croatian striker's turn, but he didn't expect the opponent to arch his butt and twist it, making him unable to hold on!

Mandzukic did not stick the ball.

Sandro and Khedira rushed into the penalty area at the same time, acting as fulcrums.

What about Higuain?

This chubby center forward is still standing outside the penalty area, containing Koscielny.

At the same time.

Dybala also took the opportunity to enter the right side of the penalty area.

Juventus stretched the width of their attack very long, and the functions of all the midfielders and forwards became more and more blurred.

"Who says a shield can't attack!"

"Hey? Why doesn't Mandzukic pass the ball? He paused and chose to dribble himself?"

He really couldn't pass it.

Wenger's preemptive layout is best at dealing with traditional powerhouses that don't play fancy tricks.

Arsenal's defense was overwhelmed by Juventus with one Bellerin and contained one Koscielny, but the midfielders' defensive assistance was too timely, plus an old ox Giroud, who retreated to the penalty area and became a high-altitude fortress!

Compress the opponent's offensive layers.

Pa!

Mandzukic still adjusted the angle and sent a low cross!

"Let's see this chance!"

"Ouch!"

With another pa sound.

The football bounced off Li Kang's calf and refracted out of the penalty area.

Xhaka had been waiting for a long time, wanting to seize the ball and launch a counterattack.

But he was one step late. Someone had faster explosive speed and more accurate judgment of the landing point than him.

Barcelona discard.

Alves.

Although this guy likes to form cliques and cause trouble in the locker room after leaving Camp Nou, his professional level is unquestionable. After coming to Juventus, he is submissive in the league, but his combat effectiveness explodes in the Champions League.

Ignoring Xhaka's interference, he swung his thigh!

The football spun into the left side of the penalty area again!

"Are you looking for Mandzukic at that point again?"

"Bellerin has adjusted! Close marking... Ouch, he was overwhelmed again!"

"I have to say, it's really effective for Mandzukic to play as a left winger!"

"Look at this ball!"

Mandzukic decided to do it himself.

After easily getting rid of Bellerin, he was close to the baseline and blasted the goal with his right foot!

Unfortunately.

This zero-degree shot was easily saved by Cech with a side save!

"That was close!"

"Who says a shield can't attack!"

"Juventus played out a suppressing force on the left wing at the start!"

Sideline.

Wenger was full of confidence.

Well, to beat this kind of traditional powerhouse, Li Lai doesn't need to use his brain. Juventus' reciprocating dislocation attack won't last long.

On the other side.

Allegri frowned, and his facial features were squeezed into a "囧" character.

If Arsenal can't be overwhelmed in the first half, then in the second half, Juventus will be at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness... the consequences will be very serious.

The next chapter will save more words to be sent, it may be very late.
