After losing the league championship last season, the meritorious coach Lippi, who has regained his position, resigned again, Juventus needs a new helm. In this case, Italy's leading coach Capello left Rome and became Juventus' head coach, and brought his favorite players Emerson and Zebina. This is a good thing for Juventus and Capello, because now Juventus has entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League and ranked first in the league - this is good news for Juventus, and for Capello, he has now gone from criticizing the referee in every game to praising the referee in every game, and his life is quite comfortable...

For Juventus, what is beneficial to them lies in the schedule - after the national team's game, Serie A did not continue to play a round of leagues. Juventus directly started to rest after the national team players returned and then prepared for this game - and the schedule of the away and then home also gave them an advantage.

"Mallorca performed quite well in the first two seasons, and they had beaten us before... but Juventus is much stronger now than two years ago, and we are confident of entering the semi-finals." Capello said in an interview that three more teams in Serie A reached the quarterfinals this time. The last time this happened was in the 2002-03 season. At that time, Juventus encountered Mallorca in the quarterfinals, but was eliminated by Mallorca who beat home away. That season, three Serie A teams were ravaged to varying degrees, which was also the beginning of Mallorca's beginning to dominate the Champions League.

Now Capello is about to break Mallorca's rule - not only for Juventus, but also for his own revenge - he had lost to Mallorca before, and he had to seek revenge on Jose.

"Juventus is not much different from the Juventus who is almost unbeaten in Serie A next year." Jose looked at the information of Juventus in front of him and thought silently in his heart that this summer, Juventus has introduced four major players, Zebina, Cannavaro, Emerson, and Ibrahimovic. In addition to being one Vieira short, he is already very close to Juventus's strength. However, the Juventus led by Capello is more stable and has not exploded. He has failed in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons.

The relatively easy win in the league proves this. They are not without weaknesses. Although their lineup seems to be quite complete, and the main players are all superstar players, they lack some explosive factors. They can form a crushing momentum in the league steadily, but they may not be able to continue to win in the Champions League where they meet on a narrow road. Before, they won a lot of money to win against Real Madrid this season, especially in defense. They entered Real Madrid in 180 minutes in two rounds, and entered another one in overtime. Juventus is not as powerful as it seems.

However, Jose is still a little envious of Juventus' lineup - Buffon, Cannavaro, Toulam, Zambrota, Emerson, Ibrahimovic, Piero, Nedved, Camoranesi, Trezege... These people are basically the top five players in their own position. When they are combined, they are quite terrifying when they are famous.

"Their advantage is the schedule, and our advantage is the condition. Juventus' last official game went back to March 20. He had not played a formal game in 20 days. They must have problems with their condition, and we have no concerns in this regard. This game is our home court, so we can solve them with offense! Juventus is used to slowing down, so we will start the offense from the beginning to let them know how powerful our offense is!"

"Ibrahimovic needs to be careful, and there is also Nedved. These two people are the focus of our defense. Nedved is dealt with by Senna. As for Ibrahimovic... Mex, you can stick to him and entangle him in this game. It would be better if you can tease him... Do you understand?"

Jose does not have too many requirements for defense. Ibrahimovic is not the core Ibrahimovic in the future. His style of playing is still a bit casual and not as independent as playing football later. He is also familiar with Ibrahimovic Mallorca. Last season, he had many competitions with Ajax, who was still there at the time, and Mex is also very familiar with him.

If he can take the lead in the opening stage, the next step is to get a grudge with them. Jose is not too worried about defense. All he thinks about is how to score at Buffon, who is under the protection of Cannavaro and Toulam!

That kind of ordinary shot is difficult to pose a threat to Buffon. On the contrary, the shot with more randomness and suddenness is easier to score. This is how to deal with Buffon.

Buffon is the best goalkeeper in the world, but the best goalkeeper does not mean that he will not concede the ball.

April 10th, St. Mois Stadium.

On this day, Mallorca's home game against Juventus and Lyon's home game against Eindhoven. From the perspective of attraction, of course, Mallorca's game is even more eye-catching. Capello chose to be a high-profile after coming to Mallorca. He believes that this season will be the revival of Serie A team. Juventus will win the Champions League for the third time under his leadership. Beating Real Madrid before has proved Juventus' strength. Next, they will defeat Mallorca and defeat any next opponent to win the Champions League trophy...

In response, Mallorca fans sneered at this - they were only in the quarterfinals and were just thinking about winning the championship? Don't joke...

Mallorca's lineup is very stable, and Juventus' lineup is also very stable - so the starting lineup of both sides in this game was not beyond people's expectations. Juventus's Zebina's right-back, Bracy and Emerson are paired with double midfielders, Appia sits on the bench, Trezeguet, who has just recovered from injury, is also on the bench, and Piero is partnering with Ibrahimovic on the front line.

In Mallorca, he returned from injury and started in the last round of the league and started playing in the first half. His injury is the best news for Mallorca. Mendeta is worse than him in long passes, but he is not as good as Iniesta in the frontcourt in the wing and connection. Jose will take turns to use the two of them against different opponents. In this game, when Zanbrota assisted, Jose used Iniesta to make him pose a huge threat to Zanbrota on the wing.

After leaving Rome, Capello was like a different person. He once played the most pleasing football in Rome. Although his grades were not particularly good, he played extremely beautifully. However, after leaving Rome to join Juventus, his playing style began to become more and more conservative. The team was terriblely stable, but it was difficult to bring any surprises.

Regarding this, Jose can only think that Capello's mentality has changed. He is still a stable coach, but he no longer wants to change anything. With his status, there is no need to prove anything. He believes that he has found the best way for him to coach, that is, the theory that the ball is useless.

Regarding this, Jose's evaluation is only one sentence - nothing on the football field is useless, the key is how you use it.

He didn't have much greetings with Capello Jose. He is a new generation of coaches. He is more familiar with people like Mourinho Benitez, who are close to their debut, and has no much interaction with the older generation of coaches. So when he walked out of the player channel, he just glanced at Capello who had already settled, and then returned to his position.

Jose's evaluation of this game is similar to the Battle of Guandu. He thinks that Mallorca is Cao's army now, "Our army is good at fighting quickly", Juventus is Yuan's army, "They have a lot of rations, which is conducive to long-term battles." It is no benefit to dragging on Mallorca, who has a disadvantage in physical fitness. He can only catch Juventus, who is slow to heat up, off guard at the beginning, and then patiently fight with the opponent - then Juventus can't be patient at that time, if they are impatient, Mallorca will be more accurate in counterattacking.

The key is whether you can score goals or even have enough advantages when your physical fitness is still at its peak in the beginning, which will determine the result of this game or even two rounds of the game!

Jose is not worried about this. Juventus' defense is not as invincible as it will be a year later. Although Cannavaro's performance has become more and more outstanding after having Tulam, a good partner, the defense triangle that Juventus transplanted directly from Parma will not have too much problem with tacit understanding. However, the two sides have been separated for two years after all, and the cooperation will not be so natural. And most importantly, there is only one Emerson in front of them, not Vieira, and there is no strength to suffocate the offensive players a year later!

Besides, even Juventus at its peak a year later, they may not be unbreakable. Stability is their biggest advantage and it is also a place where Jose can use it.

Mallorca's style of playing has always seemed a bit slow. They prefer to constantly tear open the opponent's defense line through offense after gaining the advantage in the midfield. This time, Jose does not intend to use this method - he wants to play fast attack! Use fast attack to gain the initial advantage and catch Juventus off guard!

Do you think I will grind it with you in the midfield? It’s not like watching two beauties grinding tofu, what’s the point of grinding it? Jose thought in his heart.

When the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Mallorca immediately launched a front court press.

Juventus, who took the lead in kicking the ball, passed the ball back, and they planned to fall back in the backcourt before attacking. However, when Piero just kicked the ball back to his half, two forwards of Mallorca had already rushed into Juventus' half, and then rushed over Kaka and Iniesta, followed by Alonso and two full-backs!

From the beginning, Mallorca launched a full-line oppressive frontcourt press!

Jose is not worried about Juventus' long pass launching a counterattack. First of all, their backcourt does not have a good long passer, and secondly, Piero is not good at heading. Although Ibrahimovic is tall, he is not good at heading...

As soon as Brassi received the ball, Torres rushed to him. He was startled and turned around in a hurry and passed back, but the pass was a little stronger...

Torres threw him down and continued to rush towards the ball. Emerson rushed up to control the ball, but when he was about to stop the ball, he suddenly stumbled to the ground. Torres raised his foot and broke the ball, and then suddenly shot!
Chapter completed!
