Chapter 287 Before the Game
Juventus came to London two days in advance, they have a good lottery, first guest then host, at least they have an advantage over Arsenal in the schedule.
The first round was held at the away game, and there is still a high chance of winning Arsenal at home.
At least Juventus is full of confidence. Their rhythm is the most headache for teams playing offensive football.
Originally several veterans in the team wanted to invite Vieira to have dinner together. After all, Vieira is now at Juventus and can no longer be regarded as the host. When he came to Highbury, he was a guest, and they should be more enthusiastic.
However, Vieira rejected the kindness of his former teammates. After all, it is better not to be too high-profile at this time.
Quaresma would really like to chat with Vieira, but Quaresma is also very sorry to say that when he comes to a new team, he will always pass by the boss.
From Barcelona to Porto, Porto's absolute core, Deco, left. Quaresma did not play a day with Deco at the club;
From Porto to Arsenal, Vieira, the absolute core of Arsenal, has gone again, and Quaresma has not played with Vieira for a day.
If you look at it this way, Quaresma is obviously going to go to the boss
But now Vieira can't play at Juventus in the same state as he was at Arsenal. On the one hand, Juventus' tactical system and Arsenal are completely two extremes. In addition, he needs time to adapt, and there is also the problem of gradually increasing age. , Vieira may have been far away from his peak period.
Quaresma has the memory of his previous life, so he is naturally very clear. Although Vieira has played well for a few years, he is still not as dominant as he was at Arsenal. It is getting worse and worse. Leaving Arsenal, for Arsenal and him, They were all failures.
At Highbury Stadium, the fans have already sang loudly. The game has not yet started, but the atmosphere is extremely hot.
When Juventus walked into the stadium to warm up, there was a sudden burst of cheers from the stands, and all the Arsenal fans stood up and applauded Vieira to express their love for the former captain.
Vieira couldn't help but his eyes were red. He almost went to the wrong dressing room just now. Although the place is still the same as before, things are different, and he no longer belongs here.
Applauding to the fans, Vieira thanked the fans for their love for him. When he returned here as an opponent, the fans still remembered his goodness, which moved him very much.
The applause was not unexpected at all. After all, Vieira and Arsenal did not fall out and leave. Arsenal hoped that he would transfer and leave. If you want to say sorry, it is actually Arsenal.
If Vieira wants to leave for money, then what greets him now is not applause, but boos.
Quaresma is very envious on the side. He has played to Vieira's level. Even if he leaves the team and can still get the fans' approval, it is worth it.
He has never experienced similar treatment.
Returning to Lisbon in Porto, but no fans applauded him;
Now that he has left Porto, when he returns to Porto again, he does not know what kind of attitude the fans will treat him.
Of course, he still played in Barcelona, but if he goes to Camp Nou now, it's no wonder that Barcelona fans don't boo him to death.
After the warm-up, return to the locker room to make final preparations, and then the two teams lined up to the player tunnel, waiting for the official entrance.
Players who are familiar with each other will naturally get together to say a few words, and there are many French in the two teams, which can even be called a French civil war.
Juventus has four Frenchmen in the starting lineup, Thuram, Vieira, Trezeguet and Zebina;
Arsenal has always been famous for the French gang. Coach Wenger, captain Henry, Flamini and Pires sitting on the bench are all French.
If the French coach comes to Highbury to inspect the international team in this game, he will definitely not waste his travel expenses. There will never be more French international players in this game than in this game!
However, Quaresma's mind is not here now. After all, they talk to each other in French, and he can't understand it. What he pays attention to is actually Juventus' starting list.
Juventus has no way to send the strongest lineup!
Captain Del Piero was injured in the last league game. This game was exempted from the game, and Juventus' core midfielder, the Czech iron man Nedved, was unable to play because of a yellow card suspension. This is definitely good news for Arsenal.
It's as if Henry and Quaresma were unable to play at the same time, the degree of influence is almost equal, which shows how upset Juventus is now.
Juventus insisted on the 442 formation. If Del Piero could not play, Ibrahimovic would become the starter, partnering with Trezeguet as a striker, while Nedved's position would be replaced by Romanian Mutu.
After all, it is still a rich team. The depth of the lineup makes Arsenal feel envious. If Henry and Quaresma cannot play at the same time, Wenger will not be able to find a qualified replacement. Now Wenger is relying on Henry and Quaresma Let's bring the team victory!
Quaresma played on the left. Obviously Wenger has decided on the plan to focus on Quaresma's side in this game. In any case, Zebina is the weakest link in Juventus, even if Juventus' right midfielder is stuck. Moranesi is a fierce player who dares to fight, but he can't participate in the defense all the time, and Quaresma doesn't care much about the pincer attack between the two. This is destined to be Arsenal's main attack direction.
Just thinking about how to open up the situation on the left side for a while, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and when he looked up, it turned out that Ibrahimovic came in front of him and blocked the light.
Quaresma is 176cm tall, but Ibrahimovic is over 195cm tall. The difference between the two is 20cm. It is not surprising that Quaresma is blocked.
Quaresma really doesn't want to stand with Ibrahimovic, everyone is a striker, why are you so tall?
The two of us stand together, doesn't it make me look very small!
However, before Quaresma turned around and left, Ibrahimovic was under the gauntlet.
"We will win this game for sure! And I will also score a goal, a beautiful goal, and I will let everyone know that I am the most incredible goal scorer!" Ibrahimovic was very unconvinced To Quaresma Road, when it comes to scoring wonderful goals, he even has a little pride.
Quaresma froze for a moment, then rolled his eyes and almost laughed.
For an Ibrahimovic who has always been very proud, it seems that this is nothing more than normal.
Originally, Ibrahimovic had many shocking goals in his previous life, and he often failed to score unexciting goals. It is true that his average scoring rate is far higher than that of other players!
But now, the birth of Quaresma has made Ibrahimovic unhappy. Who made Quaresma's goals more exciting than Ibrahimovic!
Ibrahimovic often compares himself to God. He is so proud that he will not think that he is inferior to anyone, and he is about to enter the peak of his career. He thinks he is much better than the hottest Quaresma now. , so I couldn't help but challenge Quaresma before the opening.
