Based on Li Zhao's outstanding performance so far in the new season, he was awarded the team's new captain position two days before the start of the seventh round of the league. This is also a testament to his strength and achievements.

Definitely. As for the opponent in the next match, Li Zhao felt even more inexplicable excitement in his heart despite being nervous. Perhaps this was a unique mentality of the strong.

However, not all the players in the team are as passionate as him. Although the morale displayed by the players before the war seemed to be acceptable, a small number of them still experienced a significant decline in spirit. It seemed that

I always feel that their confidence is not as sufficient as when they faced previous games. For these players who are used to playing in Serie A all year round, they already know the strength of Juventus, so they have some feelings in their hearts.

The pessimistic mood is made worse by the fact that there are still one or two main players in this small group of people.

In any case, this game will be a huge obstacle for Atla to further refresh the winning streak in team history. Facing such an opponent in Serie A, it is unrealistic to say that no one has any psychological pressure.

As the team coach, Gasperini has obviously noticed this situation and is well prepared to deal with the difficulties. Originally, it was only natural for him to step in to stabilize the morale of the army, but after some thought, he changed the situation.

An arduous task was handed over to the new captain Li Zhao, firstly as a test for him, and secondly as a way for him to establish sufficient personal prestige as soon as possible.

Li Zhao also happily accepted the order. After finishing the training that morning, he summoned the team members to the cafeteria before lunch and asked them to express their opinions on how to play the next game.

Ichiban.

"This battle is likely to be difficult, but because we have the advantage of home court, as long as we can ensure that we use our strength normally, it is not difficult to draw a tie, and even if we are lucky, we can win another one.

It is not impossible to win a game and break the team's record." Defense general Mattia Caldara's view is more pertinent, and most of the people in the team have similar thoughts to him.

But just as he finished speaking, someone came up with a different opinion.

"The reason why we were able to achieve consecutive victories before was certainly due to our own strength, but the opponents we encountered were relatively weak. And our opponent Juventus in this game has also maintained a complete victory record since the beginning of the game, and they have

His strength is even more extraordinary. I'm afraid the possibility of breaking the team's historical record is very slim, but the hope of trying to win a draw is still quite high." The person who spoke out was the midfielder Cristante.

His attitude towards this war is a little more pessimistic, but there are also many people who have never wanted to support his view.

Of course, there are also radicals in the team, but these types of people are very few. They cannot be compared with the above two types of people, and their influence is naturally much weaker. After these three types of people express their opinions,

They all looked at Li Zhao as the new captain. After all, the sponsor's final speech was the most critical.

To be fair, Li Zhao would naturally not agree with Cristante's more negative views, and although he could partially agree with Caldara's words, he still felt that they were somewhat weak. As for the passionate side of the radicals, although he

He was willing to see it, but the remarks he made seemed a bit mindless, so after sorting out his thoughts, he decided to start a new one.

"I have basically understood your views. Generally speaking, your views can be divided into three categories, and everyone has their own reasons for what they say. Here I will also share my own views.

First of all, we have to admit that Juventus may be the strongest opponent we have encountered since the beginning of the season, and with their sixth consecutive Serie A title, they do make other clubs in the league fearful when they encounter them.

.

But so what, the opponent Roma in the first game of the season may indeed be weaker than Juventus in terms of overall strength, but do you dare to say that they are not strong enough? But in the end, they were beaten by us by 5

-2. And we started our winning streak from that battle.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. For a long season, they may not be willing to spend too much effort in such a difficult game. Therefore, the key to victory or defeat does not lie in the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, but in

It depends on who is more determined to win the game.

It is true that even with the home court advantage, we cannot guarantee that we will win them. After all, the success or failure of a game also involves a lot of luck. But don’t forget what our ultimate goal is this season. I also said that we will take it with us.

Together, you will complete new milestones that you didn’t dare to think about, so you must not lose the momentum and determination to win. If you don’t even have basic confidence and courage, how can you become a truly meaningful team?

A strong team, and there is no need to think about other more ambitious goals.”

Seeing the excited but somewhat tangled expressions of the team members, Li Zhao knew that his words had already had a certain effect, but if they were to further enhance their confidence, they still needed to add some heat.

Li Zhao suddenly had an idea in his mind, and asked again: "I believe everyone should know the origin of Juventus's title of 'Old Woman', right? I wonder who can answer it?"

"I know! It is said that when the Juventus team was first formed, the Agnelli family in charge of the club ran into a shortage of funds due to poor management. The team members could not even afford to eat. In the most difficult time

At that time, there was a kind old Italian woman who kept delivering meals to the team, which moved the club very much. In order to express respect and gratitude to the old man, the club changed its nickname to "Old Woman".

In Italian, the name of the Juventus team is a feminine word, which can easily make people think of women. At the same time, "old woman" is also a pun. The word "old" also means youth, and "woman" means

It means loving your wife. In the early days, their fans called the home team the old lady, which also means "Italian Girlfriend", which also expresses the fans' love for the team.

Although football is a very competitive sport, with physical contact on the court and conflicts and frictions inevitable, Juventus's style of play has always been gentle. Someone once summarized the characteristics of Juventus's game into four very appropriate sentences:'

"You must have good skills, behave civilly, behave in a standardized manner, and respect the referee." In the eyes of many fans, this characteristic makes her look like an elegant and well-educated lady, which also coincides with the meaning of the word "old woman."" The most expressive performance.

The positive Yelizic answered first, but after saying this, the confusion in his heart became deeper.

"Your answer is very detailed, and it is indeed the correct annotation of the word 'old woman', but it is quite different from my answer. What I meant is that 'old woman' is too slow."

Looking at Yelizic's puzzled questioning look, Li Zhao didn't intend to continue to talk about it, so he went on to explain: "The reason why I say this is because the average age of Juventus players is relatively high compared to ours."

It's too big. If we are fighting a positional battle as usual, then we are likely to be at a disadvantage, but if we start running, that is not necessarily the case. As long as we can bring the rhythm to our side, I dare to believe that we will be the first to be beaten.

They will definitely be the ones being dragged down.

Furthermore, although Juventus is very strong in Serie A, as one of the giant clubs that has participated in the most European competitions, their performance on that battlefield is much bleak, and they have only won a handful of championships in the past few decades.

, the reason is that they still lack the spirit of a king and the toughness they should have. In summary, do you still think our chances of winning are small?

Finally, let me tell you a piece of good news. Since the club has negotiated an important cooperation agreement, the number of viewers who follow our game the day after tomorrow through the media network platform may have a qualitative increase, and it is very likely that there may even be a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Millions of people. If we can win this victory at home, it will play a more positive role in the growth of our club's popularity and revenue.

Before I came, the boss also asked me to tell him that after winning this game, all players will receive a basic bonus of 100,000 euros, and the specific amount each person can receive will depend on his performance on the court. In addition,

In addition, there will be additional rewards of 100,000 euros and 50,000 euros for a single goal and assist respectively.”

Li Zhao's injection of chicken blood was very successful. At least at this moment, no one had any fear of war. The final material incentive was a temporary initiative, but the effect was even more powerful. On the contrary, it completely wiped out the militant mood of the team members.

It was inspired.

Because of his special hidden identity, Li Zhao can do this kind of thing without any scruples. As the other owner of the club, Perkasie also has to sell this face. After all, as long as the team can win
Chapter completed!
