Turin is located in northern Italy and is the third largest city in the Apennines.
It was an important political center in Europe hundreds of years ago.
Its nicknames are "The Cradle of Freedom", "The Capital of the Alps", and "The Sweetest Place in the Apennines".
The city is home to two clubs: Turin and Juventus.
The number of local fans in the former is even better.
‘Juventus’ means ‘young man’ in Latin, why is it called the old woman?
According to legend: In the early days of the club's establishment, conditions were very poor, and an old woman often came to deliver meals to the players.
As for the Bianconeri's nickname, there are many theories, one of which is more true: Juventus' jersey was originally pink, and the supplier mistakenly sent Notts County's black and white striped jersey to them... The club thought black and white looked good, so they continued to use it.
As for the "Phonegate" incident in the early 21st century? It's a long story.
...
Wednesday.
The Champions League semi-finals are coming.
After Li Kang finished his morning training, he and his teammates boarded a plane to Turin.
I didn’t watch the Juventus video again, because Allegri is likely to do an “experiment”, like playing against Habaib mSN’s Barcelona in the 2014-15 Champions League final.
Might as well watch "Totti Joke Collection".
Maguire was very nervous. He felt that he was slowly reaching the peak of his life, even if he didn't get a chance in this game.
Welbeck is humbly asking Morata for advice on how to find a wealthy second-generation girlfriend with a killer figure through online dating.
Cazorla closed his eyes and meditated.
Sanchez is in high spirits.
Giroud said seriously: "Li, I will guard against that fat man Yin Guayin!"
Koscielny smiled and said: "Didn't the boss say that before we set off? You don't need to retreat too deep in positional defense."
Wenger and the coaching staff continue to improve the tactical arrangements before the game.
The professor is old and cannot keep up with the ever-changing tactical craze of the Premier League, but the tactical betting rate against the traditional European powers is still very high.
"Juventus' two-wing attack is very strong. They are likely to frequently suppress Bellerín's side. This cannot be ignored."
"Boss, are you saying that Juventus will fight us?"
"No, it's misplaced suppression."
...
Turin Airport.
Li Kang and his teammates walked out of the airport pick-up port.
The club did not disclose the specific itinerary, resulting in not many fans coming to the scene.
When a few piles of supporters who had stayed up late waiting at the airport woke up, all Arsenal members had already boarded the bus.
The security personnel suddenly felt relaxed.
"John, have you heard? In order to avoid racial discrimination in this game, Juventus has carried out many charity activities during this period..."
"What about the children's activities organized by UNESCO? It's of no use at all."
"Watch carefully, how many players in the Arsenal squad will be booed like monkeys!"
...
Juventus's ultra-fan organization is very chaotic.
Many people are still admirers of ***.
Security personnel often launch raids, and automatic rifles, pistols, armor-piercing projectiles, and even ground-to-air missiles can be found in their bases.
Many players and coaches have received death threats.
The blacklist of the Allianz Stadium in Turin is constantly adding new names every year, which shows how strong these extreme fan organizations are in absorbing new blood.
As for racially discriminatory behavior, it is often the result of a newcomer's vote.
‘My whole life is dyed in black and white’.
...
The Arsenal bus traveled smoothly and arrived at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
That's right.
The home ground of Juventus is also the title sponsor of the German insurance group Allianz.
There are countless Allianz Arenas around the world.
The Allianz Stadium in Turin is very young. It opened in 2011 and can only accommodate more than 40,000 spectators. However, its appearance and infield are full of technology and have the most advanced lighting, sound and special effects solutions.
No matter where you sit in the basin-shaped stands, you can hear the clear and gentle broadcast sound in your ears.
It is also the first stadium in Serie A that is fully owned by a club.
...
Pre-match press conference.
Allegri shook hands with Wenger.
The relationship between the two is not as awkward as it seems to the outside world: Arsenal's senior management privately contacted the Juventus coach last season during the "backward frenzy", but was rejected by the latter. This behavior was regarded by the media as a dissatisfaction with Wenger.
respect.
There was no pleasantries for too long.
The two coaches soon began to be interviewed by media reporters.
Most of the questions were put to Wenger first.
"Juventus is a powerful opponent. They are not only the hegemon of Serie A, but also one of the strong contenders for the Champions League title in recent years."
"Lee is in very good condition, he has been well rested and I believe he will show his power to change the game again."
Alegre was unhurried and his tone was gentle.
"Both sides have very good players and I'm looking forward to their wonderful performances."
The Juventus coach tried hard to restrain his expression. The affectionate word "Uncle" has traveled across the ocean from the distant eastern country and spread to every land in Turin.
Even if Italian fans don't know Chinese, they can still associate the word "囧" with Allegri's expression.
...
Player tunnel.
Pjanic lightly punched Li Kang's chest.
The two got to know each other when they first attended the Champions League draw ceremony.
"Your kid is growing up well! Why are you so much taller than me?"
"You won't knock me over so easily this time."
After Pjanic came to Juventus, his combat effectiveness skyrocketed. He was no longer the front-end core playing style of the Roma period, but stood in the "Pirlo zone".
He does not consider himself Pirlo's successor.
But he was raised like a "little Pirlo" in Allegri's system, with a lot of big brothers in front of him and behind him who did the dirty work, which covered up his flaws to the maximum extent and amplified his scheduling and organization.
ability.
In the eyes of Juventus fans, selling Pogba for 100 million and buying Pjanic for 32 million was a great value.
Buffon pushed aside the zebra midfielder and gave Li Kang a brief hug.
The embrace of two generations in football.
...
Turin Allianz Stadium.
Red marine flares were lit in the South Stand.
The fire exploded.
Smoke billows.
"ctV5! ctV5! Good evening, viewers."
"The live broadcast for you now is the 2016-17 Champions League semi-finals!"
"Juventus vs. Arsenal!"
"A battle that attracts global attention!"
"The team with the most goals in the Champions League this season is the team with the fewest goals conceded."
"A battle of spears and shields!"
"Media from 76 regions around the world will broadcast live!"
"Looking at the historical battle results between the two teams, Wenger has a huge advantage. He led the Gunners to eliminate the Old Lady twice!"
"Can the Bianconeri avenge their disgrace tonight?"
