Turin Sports Daily, the European Golden Boy Award selection organization.
It is considered to be a very authoritative and professional football media in Italy.
With the Champions League about to start, Turin Sports Daily analyzed this matchup in great detail.
On one side is Manchester City, which has won five consecutive Premier League games and has the strongest offensive firepower in the Premier League and even in the whole of Europe, and on the other side is Juventus, the runner-up of the Champions League last season and the leader of the league standings with four wins and one draw this season.
Their report pointed out that"Manchester City has won five games in a row and scored 21 goals. It looks powerful and in excellent form.
But these games are not for reference.
Chelsea, the only Premier League powerhouse, was exposed in a locker room scandal during the offseason, and now Chelsea has been unable to win after five games and is even approaching the relegation zone.
This shows that Manchester City's five consecutive wins do not mean much.
And the fact that they were able to achieve this result is obviously closely related to the replacement of the head coach at the beginning of the season and the injection of fresh blood into the team.
Under the influence of the new atmosphere, Manchester City players are in extremely high form. As the season progresses, when these players lose their freshness, their record will inevitably plummet."
To put it more clearly, Turin Sports believes that Manchester City's fighting power is not as terrible as it appears.
This is just an illusion, just like the same team's record will rise sharply after a change of coach.
"Another reason why Manchester City is performing so strongly now is that the team's new players are performing well.
Especially this summer's record signing, Zhao Yi from China, has participated in 17 of the team's 21 goals!
This performance is terrifying and unbelievable.
But everyone knows that his performance will not last forever. When the opponent figures out his offensive routine and understands his playing characteristics, when he becomes the subject of everyone's research, he will lose his magic.
At the same time, Manchester City's offensive capabilities will be greatly reduced.
We have reason to believe that Juventus coach Allegri, as a first-class coach in football, is fully prepared.
And Juventus' defense has always been world-class. They are good at single-soldier combat and are also good at coordinating against the enemy.
They have enough experience and level to limit these young people in Manchester City."
"Judging from the game experience, Juventus is a veritable daddy in the Champions League, having reached the final more times than Manchester City has reached the knockout stage.
Overall, even without the home advantage, Juventus will be stronger than Manchester City in the Champions League."
At the pre-match press conference, Guardiola announced the team's starting lineup.
David Silva was on the bench again.
This means that Guardiola adopted a 4231 lineup.
Facing Juventus, in the Champions League, Guardiola still chose a safe style of play.
The three-back system is not Manchester City's regular tactic.
Neither Kolarov nor Otamendi can really handle the three-center-back system.
When the reporter asked Guardiola what he thought of this game.
Guardiola said that Juventus is one of the most successful and powerful clubs in the world.
They have rich experience in European wars and have achieved results in the Champions League. It is obvious to all.
This will definitely be a very difficult game for Manchester City.
Manchester City has been fully prepared.
When the reporter threw the same question to Allegri, Allegri's answer was very direct.
He has found a way to restrain Manchester City. Manchester City's offense is strong, but not yet strong enough to be invincible.
They will take away a victory at the Etihad Stadium, just as they did away from other Serie A teams.
Finally, the reporter wanted to know Allegri's opinion on Zhao Yi, Manchester City's hotshot.
Allegri was very sincere,"I watched his Premier League games, and I also watched his League One games last season.
Everyone says that his potential and talent are very good, and he will become a superstar in the future.
What I want to say is that in fact he is already a real superstar now.
It's just that he has been in the top league for a short time, so many people think that his performance may have ups and downs.
But this is not what they imagine.
If you ask me, he is the best player in the entire Premier League and Europe."
Allegri's evaluation of Zhao Yi is simply putting Zhao Yi on the fire.
It is bound to bring Zhao Yi a lot of controversy and attract a lot of abuse from other stars and fans.
And this kind of evaluation, if it is another young player, will definitely bring him a lot of pressure.
But this is Zhao Yi. After hearing Allegri's evaluation, he did not feel any pressure, but only a feeling of meeting a confidant. It turns out that your opponent knows you best.
Before the game started, the Etihad Stadium was already full of flags and crowds, and it was just a matter of time before the gongs and drums were loud.
Many fans have already set off fireworks.
The home ground of the Premier League is very strictly managed, and fans are not allowed to set off fireworks.
But now it is the Champions League.
The Premier League has no control...
The Champions League, Manchester City's curse, is also the obsession of fans.
After five consecutive wins in the Premier League and 21 goals, the fans' confidence in the team has reached an unprecedented level.
Blue Moon fans are eager for Manchester City to make a qualitative breakthrough in the Champions League.
And this game, facing Juventus, the runner-up of last season's Champions League, is the best touchstone.
Win, beat Juventus.
Get off to a good start, and then go all the way through Europe!
The madness of the league will surely spread to the whole of Europe!
Blue Moon fans are singing loudly and shouting passionately. They are waiting in anticipation, waiting for their favorite players to appear on the field.
And this game naturally received the top treatment in China.
Not only various live broadcast platforms, but also CCTV Sports Channel has joined.
CCTV used to be the only one that monopolized the live broadcasts of the five major leagues.
With With the rise of various wealthy online live broadcast platforms, CCTV Sports lost the live broadcasts of the Premier League, La Liga, and Bundesliga because of its own pride.
Fortunately, they are still qualified to broadcast the Champions League.
CCTV's audience and scale far exceed those of various live broadcast platforms.
At the beginning of this Champions League, a wider range of people with a wider age span will know Zhao Yi's name.
CCTV started the live broadcast one and a half hours before the start of the game.
During this one and a half hour, half of the content was about the recent situation and past history of Manchester City and Juventus.
Sun Jihai, as a Manchester City legend, was also brought out to talk for a few minutes.
The rest of the hour's content is all about one person.
That is Zhao Yi.
What all Chinese people like to watch most The real guarantee of ratings.
CCTV is naturally aware of this.
And this young man is not the first time to be reported by CCTV Sports in this way.
CCTV Sports had already made a big fanfare in the FA Cup last season.
Now, CCTV Sports has reached another level in its analysis and praise of Zhao Yi.
The absolute core of the Premier League giants, the 18-year-old genius boy, is now the most watched young generation in the Premier League!
In Guardiola's mouth, the only candidate for the Golden Boy Award this season!
For the Chinese people who have a strong sense of patriotism and national pride, this makes their blood boil and they can't help themselves.
The game hasn't started yet, but the fans can't control their emotions.
They are too eager to see the black-haired boy running on the field and solving his opponents cleanly.
""Fuck, this is all a lie, please don't let it be fake." Some fans who don't usually watch the game couldn't help but complain after hearing the CCTV commentary. They said it subconsciously, but deep down they wanted it to be true.
"Hurry up!"
"Let’s get started!"
"Looks pretty handsome!"
"Oh my god, this goal is so cool???"
The audience in front of the TV looked at the edited moment of Zhao Yi's goal and rubbed their hands in anticipation.
It seems that it is really as awesome as they say?
On the live broadcast platform, those fans who already know Zhao Yi and have seen his wonderful performance are different from the audience in front of the TV.
"Brothers! Is my father Zhao strong?"
"Everyone, get up!!"
"Peanut crayfish is ready!"
"The rooms are ready, King Zhao can come in as many times as he wants!"
"Brother is too conservative. I will come as many times as Manchester City scores!"
"Juventus is finished today, even Jesus can't save them! Zhao Qiuwang said so!!"
"Manchester City must win, at least three!!"
"Bloodbath of Juventus!"
"Everyone, please be rational. Manchester City is strong and Zhao Yi is even more explosive, but the Champions League is different from the league. Everyone, don't be so excited."
"Zhao Yi's fans, please stop praising him so much, it will really attract haters"
"Right, right, watch the game rationally, Zhao Qiuwang is a human being, not a god"
"I just hope you guys won't scold Zhao Yi when he's at his worst."
"How can it be?"
"How is that possible?���How did you scold Xiang?"
"That's right, that's right! The peak produces false supporters, and only the trough can witness the devout believers.
Always support our brother!!"
"……"
"this……"
