Chapter 015 The first Serie A match at the Castle Stadium
The Castle Stadium located on the outskirts of Bergamo, Italy, has finally been completed and put into use. However, few people would have thought that three years ago this place was just a slightly dilapidated ruins of an ancient castle. However, under Li Zhao's Lanzhao Group, it took over
Within a short period of time, it had a completely new look, and when combined with its original ancient Roman castle style, it gave people the feeling of returning to an ancient arena. After careful consideration and decision-making, the group
It was then transformed into a large football stadium that can accommodate nearly 80,000 spectators.
Atlético will usher in their first match of the 2017 Serie A season on August 20th, when the players will make their debut at this new home stadium, so whether they can get the first good start here will be an extraordinary commemoration.
Meaning. Their opponent in this battle is also an extremely difficult opponent, Roma, a traditional Serie A team known as the "Red Wolf".
The most recent match between the two sides was one of the few games that Li Zhao participated in at the end of last season. Although it was an away game against Atlanta and he won, there was some luck in it. And today's battle also
It will definitely not be easy to play, but the players at home are determined to win this game.
At four o'clock in the afternoon on the match day, the stadium, which was opened to the public for the first time, welcomed its first batch of guests. The momentum of the audience entering the stadium was quite fast. In less than half an hour, the stadium was full of people.
The attendance rate of the nearly 80,000 seats inside was already close to 70%. At this time, there were still a large number of fans flocking outside the stadium, and all the tickets for the day were quickly sold out.
But despite this, many fans still had no intention of leaving. In the end, nearly 30,000 fans still gathered outside the stadium to cheer for the home team.
Such a popular scene obviously surprised the club. After temporary discussions, they increased the sales of standing tickets, which finally satisfied most of the remaining fans. In addition to ticket sales, the retail business in the stadium store
It is also popular, and the most surprising thing is that the benches that were previously considered unpopular goods are still in short supply after being sold out, and the buyers are basically the fans who later bought standing tickets. Some outside vendors saw it.
Business opportunities, I also joined the ranks of peddling, and I plan to prepare more goods in the future.
"Hey, I finally found a seat. Old Wei, you have to thank me for reminding me about this. If we hadn't arrived earlier, we would have been like those who bought standing tickets later.
People are crowded in the aisle. But our position is still very good. Although it is a little behind, we can better overlook the entire scene in the stadium." In addition to local fans, the spectators who came to watch the game were
Naturally, there are also some outsiders who come here in admiration, and among them there are also domestic tourists who come from far away. A pair of middle-aged Chinese couples in the crowd seem to have a very good relationship. One of them, a slightly fat man, is facing
The friend next to me said.
"Okay, okay, Lao Hu, you have a unique vision for the head office, right?" the man known as Lao Wei responded. But when he saw his friend's face staring intently at the venue, and remembered the past many years ago, he couldn't help but
Di then said with emotion: "Speaking of which, the first time we watched Li Zhao play in person was at the World Youth Championship in 2013. However, when he later played in the Brazilian League, it was not convenient for us to go to that area due to work reasons.
And he was unable to continue to represent the national team, so he has been feeling very regretful in the past few years, and could only pay attention to him through the TV network. Fortunately, the moment came for Li Zhao to transfer to Europe, and
This season he will still be able to start the game as soon as he comes up, and it’s not worth it for us to come all the way. I think we should be able to see his style today.”
"Have you noticed that the layout of this stadium is very special, and combined with its original ancient Roman castle style, it feels like being in a real arena. Moreover, this terrain looked like an urn city in ancient times.
, our own army will exert great combat effectiveness by relying on the right time and place, and when the enemy's army comes in, it will often be under pressure and be attacked from both sides, and even end up with the entire army being annihilated." Lao Hu suddenly said.
"Old Hu! This is football, but you brought it into the war. I really wonder whether you are a football fan or a military fan. But what you said is somewhat reasonable. At least I believe that this place should become a
Another devil's home stadium in the future." His friend's focus was somewhat beyond Wei's expectation, and he could only helplessly agree.
There are many live audiences with emotions like them. With the continuous improvement of country C's national strength in recent years, more and more Chinese people go abroad to see the world.
At six o'clock in the evening, the long-awaited game finally officially started.
The home team Atlanta has a 3412 formation. The starting lineup is goalkeeper: No. 1 Berisha; defender: No. 13 Mattia Caldara, No. 28 Mancini Jr., No. 37 Skriniar; midfielder
: No. 8 Gosens, No. 11 Freuler, No. 4 Cristante, No. 33 Hatboer; Frontcourt: No. 10 Alexander Gomez, No. 72 Yelizic, No. 23 Li Zhao
.
On the other hand, the visiting team Roma still arranged their traditional 433 formation. The starting lineup is goalkeeper: No. 1 Alisson; defenders: No. 25 Bruno Perez, No. 44 Manolas, No. 5 Juan Jesus
, No. 11 Kolarov; Midfielder: No. 6 Stroman, No. 16 Daniel De Rossi, No. 4 Nainggolan; Frontcourt: No. 23 Devere, No. 9 Dzeko, No. 8 Perrault
ty.
The situation of the Roma team playing away from home seems to have fulfilled what Old Hu said before. The strong momentum of the home fans completely suppressed the sporadic flames of the few away fans. As soon as the visiting team players walked out of the tunnel, they felt the rush.
The feeling of oppression that came over me was as if I was a turtle in a urn. Many of the people's expressions had become extremely serious, so much so that some people were not able to fully recover for a long time.
came, and the consequences were disastrous, directly causing the visiting team to concede a goal shortly after the opening.
This was just over 4 minutes into the game. A serious passing error in the backcourt of the Roma team sent the ball directly to the feet of Atla power forward Gomez, who was just past the opponent's last goal.
As a defensive player, under normal circumstances, this situation will naturally be called offside, but this situation is an exception. Faced with this great gift from the visiting team, Gomez did not live up to the opponent's "good intentions" and stabilized the situation.
This single goal was scored steadily and the score on the field was rewritten to 1-0.
The sudden loss of the ball made the Roma players suddenly wake up, and they did not make similar mistakes in the following games. As their military morale stabilized again, and the overall strength of the two teams was not much different.
, the situation on the court gradually became more balanced. Although neither side can rewrite the score for the time being, both sides switched offense and defense very quickly in the first thirty minutes of the game, and frequently staged wonderful moments. This is quite different.
Compared to the usual Serie A matches, the fans from both sides watching the game did not dare to neglect for a moment, and the cheers and cheers became louder and louder.
However, Atlanta still had some ups and downs in terms of state stability. Just when the first half of the game was coming to an end and the fans thought the score would be settled, the home team showed some signs of laxity in defense, thus giving the opponent a
A well placed free kick opportunity.
There was a gap in Atlanta's defensive position this time, and it was very unfortunate that such a few mistakes were successfully grasped by the opponent. Kolarov's free kick quickly passed through that gap.
Going straight to the large gap on the right side of the goal, goalkeeper Berisha was too late to react and could only watch the ball fly into the net beside him.
Chapter completed!
