At seventeen, I went to Spain to win the World Cup

Chapter 145

"We must be clear about what we are talking about, this is Juventus!"

"They have only lost one game in 24 rounds of Serie A this season!"

"What kind of terrifying data is this?"

"Facing strong opponents in the Champions League group stage, Juventus played very steadily and made it all the way to the quarterfinals of the Champions League."

"In the 1/8 knockout round, they swept Porto 10:0 in two rounds, showing a strong level!"

"More importantly, I think this Juventus team is more familiar with the Champions League knockout round than the current Liverpool members, and they have more experience."

Facing the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Liverpool will go to the Turin Stadium to challenge the Zebras Juventus.

Pre-match prediction, Golden Boy Owen once again threw an olive branch to Juventus, which also made Gerrard feel relieved.

"You know, Owen, I prayed countless times at night, hoping that you would never support Liverpool and always predict Liverpool's opponents to win."

"In that case, Liverpool will definitely sweep all European teams."

As the most well-known super-poisonous milk in the current football world, no team wants to hear that they are predicted to win by Owen before the game.

After hearing Owen's prediction before the game, Juventus coach Allegri's hanging heart finally broke.

He understood that in this game, Juventus must fight Liverpool not only at the tactical level, but also at the metaphysical level.

But Gerrard also understood that this game must be a fierce battle for Liverpool, not to mention that Liverpool is going to challenge Juventus away.

On February 22, Liverpool's special plane took off from the airport to the Turin Stadium, one of the most modern stadiums in Serie A, which can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.

The facilities in the stadium are extremely advanced, and it can always create a very good home atmosphere. It is known as one of the devil's home stadiums in Serie A.

Coach Alagri also posted before the game, calling on all Juventus fans to buy tickets as much as possible and come to the scene to cheer for the team.

"I need your voice."

"Juventus also needs your voice. This is a real decisive battle. We will fight for the Champions League semi-finals!"

Juventus is too eager to win the Champions League, and their captain, Buffon, the spiritual pillar of Juventus, is more eager for the Champions League than any other active player.

He only needs this championship trophy to achieve a career Grand Slam!

On the evening of February 22, Liverpool checked into the most luxurious six-star hotel in the area.

After Klopp's brief speech, the players scattered and started to have fun.

"Lin, come and play table tennis, I promise I will beat you."

As soon as Firmino said this, all the teammates around him laughed.

"Firmino, are you crazy? Do you want to listen to what you just said?"

"Firmino, I bet that Lin will beat you 11-0 at breakfast tomorrow morning. If he is more merciful, the score may be 11-1."

Firmino sneered at this. He was fully confident in his own strength.

Half an hour later.

"Firmino, I told you long ago that it will be 11-0."

"Lin, you shouldn't do this. Remember to save some face for this Brazilian next time."

Lin Chen smiled and hugged Firmino back to the room. The two lived in one room. Lin Chen's roommate was Firmino.

After the two quickly washed up, they lay on the bed to rest. It was late at night, but Lin Chen didn't hear Firmino's breathing.

"Lin, do you think we can win the day after tomorrow?"

Firmino spoke after a long time, and Lin Chen could feel a hint of tension.

There is no doubt that this is the quarter-finals of the Champions League, a truly top-level competition, and anyone will feel nervous.

"Just do your best, Firmino."

"We will fight Juventus on the field until the last minute, and then return to Anfield to decide the final victory or defeat at our home ground."

"If we play normally, we will definitely have the strength to reach the top four of the Champions League."

What Lin Chen meant by playing normally is not to be nervous. In the Champions League, especially in the key knockout matches, many players may only play 70% of their strength because of nervousness.

This is considered good. There have been media reports in history that some players collapsed due to excessive nervousness.

For example, in a Champions League knockout match against Dortmund, the away players even asked to be replaced by the head coach because they could not withstand the devil's pressure at the Westfalen Stadium.

For such players, they can only play 30% of their strength at most, or even less.

Liverpool has been training on the field at the Turin Stadium. The only thing Klopp emphasized was not to be nervous.

February 24, 7 pm European time.

Turin Stadium, the worldMore than 300 media outlets from various countries started live broadcasts at the same time.

And this is only the official live broadcast channel. There are far more than 10,000 live broadcasts from informal channels of all sizes.

The live broadcast camera was turned on an hour before the game started, and Liverpool's bus carrying the players slowly drove into the Turin Stadium.

Liverpool and Juventus fans gathered on both sides of the street and at the entrance of the stadium.

"Liverpool!!!"

"Liverpool!!!"

"Liverpool!!!"

Liverpool fans shouted hard, and about 5,000 fans followed the team to play away games.

Juventus fans soon became dissatisfied with the excitement of Liverpool fans. They didn't know why Liverpool fans were so excited at the Turin Stadium.

"Look at these guys from England, no wonder they are called toilets, what are they excited about?"

"I promise that I will beat them back to their original form within 30 minutes of the start, and Liverpool fans will be speechless!"

Liverpool fans also immediately responded, and the two sides started a war of words.

"So what have you achieved recently in the Champions League? Did you perform well?"

"Come on, don't talk as if you have already won the victory, you are nothing."

"You little zebra, black and white, Lin Guo, you are like zebras crossing the early morning!"

It was 7:30 pm European time, half an hour before the start of the game, and both sides had submitted their starting lineups.

Huaxia Live Room, Sky Sports Live Room, etc. were all opened at the same time.

"Dear fans, the game is about to begin."

"I am the commentator of this game, Zhan Jun, and I will comment on this Champions League knockout match for you."

"Both sides have submitted their starting lineups. Let's take a look at Juventus first."

"Goalkeeper: Buffon."

"Defenders: Alex Sandro, Chiellini, Benatia, De Sciglio."

"Midfielders: Matuidi, Pjanic, Khedira."

"Forwards: Mandzukic, Higuain, Douglas Costa."

"Liverpool also fielded their strongest lineup at the moment."

"Goalkeeper: Mignolet."

"Defenders: Robertson, Lovren, Matip, Arnold."

"Midfielders: Henderson, Lucas, Lin Chen."

"Forwards: Mane, Firmino, Salah."

"Dear fans, the starting lineups of both sides are about to appear!"
