"Real Mallorca arrived in Turin on April 7... They will face Juventus at the Alp Stadium three days later. The quarterfinals of this Champions League coincided with no match for the same league derby. Three Serie A teams Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan respectively competed with La Liga team Mallorca, Valencia and Eredivisie Ajax, and Real Madrid's opponent is also from the Premier League Manchester United. This probability is only 11%. Among the nine draws, only this may not happen. However, it happened, so that people have to suspect that this is Europe

The product of the Football League's intentionality. Mallorca's situation has not been very good recently. During the winter break, they once led the second place Real Madrid by eight points in the league, but now they are four points behind Real Madrid. The hope of winning the league has been reduced a lot. Juventus' situation is very good. In the last round, they defeated Chivo, and the league opponent Inter Milan was tied by Roma three-to-three. The gap with Juventus has widened to five points. Juventus' successful defense seems to be in front of them. What they are considering now is not only to win the league championship, but also to attack the championship of the Champions League. The victory over Mallorca is their only hope."

"Mallorca's head coach Jose Alemani refused all interviews after coming to Turin. We can understand the pressure on this young coach. Although he is the sole shareholder and owner of all ownership rights, there is no crisis of dismissal. However, Mallorca's strong team has never reached its peak, and Jose, who has gained fame in recent years, has never been able to join the ranks of first-class coaches."

"Lippi returned to Juventus after his defeat at Inter Milan and immediately led Juventus to the league championship last season. This season is also very promising. Juventus with Lippi is almost invincible."

"Although the schedule is not good, Juventus' advantage is still very large. Mallorca is in poor condition recently, the team is too young, and the experience in the Champions League is far less than that of Juventus. The possibility of Juventus winning in this game is more than 80%.

Italian media have expressed optimism about this game. In their opinion, Juventus' performance this season is becoming more and more experienced. Although Zidane has gone, the defense line with Buffon and Toulam is almost indestructible. Although Nedved is not as gorgeous as Zidane, it seems more practical. Although Piero's condition is not good, Juventus can always score. Although Mallorca's offense is excellent, it is difficult to create a scoring opportunity in the face of Juventus' defense line. From this point of view, Juventus' advantage is not small at all.

"The Italian media must support their own teams, and the draw of Serie A teams this time is quite good, and the possibility of three teams entering the semi-finals will be very high... But no matter how outstanding the two teams in Milan will play, we cannot relax in the face of Juventus. What makes Juventus excellent is their defense. If we want to tear their defense, we have to do better than usual."

As the Italian media said, Jose refused all interviews after he arrived in Turin. Mallorca did not play well some time ago, and Jose didn't want to praise anything in front of the media. If you want to prove your determination, you have to rely on actions to prove it.

"Juventus is playing at home in this game, so they will definitely want to win, but Lippi is a head coach who takes results first, and their defense is also their best part, so they will definitely strengthen in terms of defense. Even if you get a zero-to-zero result at home, it is actually beneficial to them, because our defense is not particularly good, and it is not difficult for them to score away goals, so we still have to make a fuss on the offense in this game." Jose talked in the conference room: "It is not easy to break through their defense line. Buffon is the best goalkeeper in the world. In my opinion, it is because he is stable enough.

It is certain that there will be no undue mistakes, and at the same time, it can often resolve the winning goals. Such a goalkeeper can reduce the loss of goals a team deserves by twenty in a season... This is a terrifying thing, but it is for the whole season and the league. In a separate game, he is still just a goalkeeper, which is difficult to deal with, but it is definitely not invincible... Steady is his strength, but a stable goalkeeper will not have the same performance as taking medicine in a certain game. I would rather deal with a goalkeeper who is in a stable state than a goalkeeper who may have cheated in the game, because that will be strength beyond calculations, and I hate this feeling."

Some players laughed softly, and it was true. I believe Rijkaard, who was the most touched by this in the European Cup, was he who met a Tordo who had cheated...

"Juventus' best defender is Tulam, but he appears more in the right-back position. We don't need to worry. The central defender is used to using Ferrara and Montero this season. They are both very good defenders, but they are not young anymore. Drogba, you will be the main force in this game, impacting their defense and creating opportunities. This is your task. Juventus' defense is also due to their midfielder. Davis, Tachinadi and Tudor are all strong midfielders with strong defense, especially Davis, whose condition has declined this season

However, he is still one of the top midfielders in the world. Tudor may be transferred to the defense line to deal with Drogba. If he plays a midfielder, then focus on attacking him along the way. He is too big and his movements are not very flexible. If he can lure him to eat cards, it would be great. Juventus' substitute strength is not particularly strong, and their main players are basically irreplaceable. Juventus' defense focuses on the overall situation and has no place to use. In the game, we have to try various offensive methods and use continuous offense to create opportunities. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" The players replied loudly. Mallorca focused on offense this season, and various offensive methods have been well trained in their daily training. Jose said this only means one thing, that is, the players will freely play the offense on the court to tear open the opponent's defense line!

"Defense, you should pay attention to Nedved, Piero and Camoranesi... Nedved is the core of Juventus now. His running and long-range shots are the world's top. Although he will not dribble the ball alone and then score, his passing organization and long-range shot ability are enough to make him perform no less than other attacking midfielders. Camoranesi is the initiator of Juventus's wing attack, Capdvilla, you may be under a lot of pressure in this game. As for Piero... His performance in recent years, but his skills and breakthroughs are still world-class. Don't easily grab it. Pay attention to fouls at the front of the penalty area. Of course, Zambrota's assists on the wing, and Davis' long-range shots... It's basically these. Juventus' offensive methods are not particularly large, just be careful of these aspects."

"The last thing I want to say is that the knockout stage is two rounds. Even if we fall behind in the game, don't worry and attack patiently. Think about it, if we were patient in Manchester last year when we were behind one to two, maybe we would be the one who advanced in the end. After all, we just lost to the rules in the end. We suffered a loss last season, and we need to learn lessons this season. At least I have learned the lessons."

After determining the next goal, Jose began to prepare for the next game in Turin. In the next two days, Mallorca completed two days of closed training. No one could interview Mallorca's players, which also made Italian journalists complain about this.

"It's really outrageous. I've interviewed Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and Bayern, and no team is so isolated from the media. Jose thinks Mallorca is?"

"What a joke. Did Jose thinks he could win by having a closed training? What a joke!"

The Italian journalists who were upset in their hearts began to portray Mallorca as an ignorant team in the media and Jose as a savage, vulgar and dictatorial idiot head coach. Jose didn't know about this, and he didn't care even if he knew it. His foundation was in Spain. In Mallorca, as long as Mallorca's media had a good relationship with him, he couldn't care what other media wanted to say, and he didn't want to care.

However, Lippi did not look at the problem as simply as a reporter. In his opinion, Jose insisted on using closed training only means one thing, that is, practicing tactics specifically for Juventus. Lippi is not unfamiliar with Jose. This young head coach has caused many famous coaches to suffer losses in the past two years, especially a famous coach in La Liga. The one who really suffered losses in the European arena was that he suffered losses under the scheming Ferguson. This performance is enough to prove that this young man is definitely not an ordinary person. Moreover, he feels that this young man has a very experienced layout and likes to dig holes to let the opponent jump down. Head coaches with average on-site command ability often suffer great losses in front of him.

So Lippi was thinking about what special tactics Jose would use. Could it be an unexpected defensive counterattack? That was a bit difficult to deal with. Although Mallorca's defensive ability was average, their frontcourt players were very suitable for counterattacks. Although Etoo had not yet recovered from injury, Kaka's breakthrough ability in counterattacks alone was enough for most teams to drink.

This is in line with Jose's style. He always likes to do the opposite in some more important games. Mallorca has various types of players, which also makes his tactics very sudden. Lippi feels that he has to be on guard.

"Anyway... be careful with this guy." Lippi thought to himself.

Zhuge Liang sang the empty city plan because he was facing Sima Yi. If he was facing Xu Zhu, he might be cut by Erlangzi directly. Jose closed his training and was also trying to sing the empty city plan. Now it depends on whether Lippi's silver fox will be fooled...

"Even if I'm not fooled, I won't be afraid of you." Jose thought viciously in his heart.
