Chapter 318

As the highlight of the last game of the first half, the match between Cagliari and Juventus was also scheduled at the last moment, after all other teams' games were over.

At the Sant'Elia Stadium, in order to express their support for the team, many Juventus fans were unable to buy tickets and felt Cagliari.

At this moment, Cellino was once again depressed by the fact that the Sant'Elia Stadium only had [-] seats. You must know that not one more team is money for Cellino.

In fact, it is not that Cellino has never thought about restoring the original number of seats, but this idea cannot be implemented at present. After all, the renovation was just carried out last year. If it is rebuilt now, it will take another year.

At the same time, Cellino still had another worry in his heart, which was about Li Yi's future. Cellino knew very well what Li Yi represented to Cagliari.

Looking at the players on the field at the moment, except for Conte and Carus who were originally in the club, the other players were all introduced by Li Yi.

The media said that Li Yi has a magical power. Cellino took it very seriously, so for Cellino, he wanted to keep Li Yi as much as possible after the end of this season.

Even during this winter break, Cellino tried to get Salerno to contact Corleone and re-sign a contract with Li Yi, with an annual salary 50.00% higher than the current contract.

This is undoubtedly a sky-high contract. As far as Serie A is concerned, if Li Yi really signs it, then he will become the highest-paid Serie A head coach in terms of annual salary. You must know that Capello's annual salary at Juventus this summer is only 300 million euros.

Of course, this annual salary is also conditional, that is, this summer Li Yi can no longer prevent Cagliari from selling people.

In this regard, Li Yi did not directly refuse, but let Corleone shirk until the end of the season, but Li Yi did not really want to renew his contract with Cagliari, he did it entirely to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Guys I don't need to say more about the importance of this game." In the locker room of the home team, the players who have finished their warm-up are making their final preparations.

"Win Juventus, then the second half of the season will be much easier for us, and we will even have the strength to go further in the Champions League, but if we lose, then we will face the possibility of being caught up or even surpassed at any time."

In fact, such an important game does not require Li Yilai to mobilize, let alone the exuberance of players and fans from both sides on the media and social platforms before the game.

"Players from both sides have come out" As figures walked out of the player tunnel, the Sant'Elia stadium was completely boiling.

"Nineteen rounds, the last round of the first half of the league, and now this game is the last game of the first half." It is said that the outcome of this game will not affect the fact that Cagliari won the half-time championship.

"Who is Ibrahimovic? This is what Cagliari used to say to satirize the Swedes during this time. Now, the Swedes finally have the opportunity to tell everyone who he is at the Sant'Elia Stadium." Ibrahimovic is at the forefront and is Juventus' starter for this game.

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defenders: Thuram, Cannavaro, Zebina, Zambrotta
Midfielders: Nedved, Emerson, Tacchinardi, Camoranesi
Forwards: Ibrahimovic, Del Piero.

After the Swede came on stage, his eyes were fixed on Li Yi on the sidelines, but unfortunately, Li Yi was shaking hands with Capello and ignored the Swede.

For Cagliari:

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Balzaretti, Barzagli, Chiellini, Maicon
Midfielders: Ribery, Guardiola, Conte, Poborski

Forwards: Milito, Di Natale

The captains of both sides came to the referee Racal Bhutto to guess coins, and finally Juventus won the kick-off.

Following the referee's whistle, Ibrahimovic passed the ball to captain Del Piero, who found Emerson with a kick back.

The Brazilian is Juventus' metronome. After holding the ball, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he stopped the ball and waited for a while before passing the ball to Camoranesi on the right.

Argentines, no, it should be said that they are Italians. Just this past summer, Camoranesi entered the Italian national team and completely became an Italian.

Camoranesi advanced along the wing, but was soon intercepted by Balzaretti. At this time, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was supposed to be on the front line, came near Camoranesi and motioned him to pass the ball.

Passing the ball, Camoranesi did not hesitate. As a teammate with the Swede for half a season, Camoranesi is well aware of the characteristics of this Swedish big man.

The teammates of Juventus knew that Cagliari, the opponent, didn't know that just after Camoranesi passed the ball, a figure suddenly rushed out from behind the Swede.

"Steal the ballBeautifulChielliniThe Cagliari central defender intercepted Camoranesi with a flying tackle and passed the ball to Ibrahimovic."

"CounterattackCagliari's quick counterattack" The ball was shoveled and landed at the feet of Cagliari captain Conte, who found Guardiola with one kick.

Long pass, before receiving the ball, Guardiola observed the running position on the front line, so he reacted immediately after receiving the pass and sent the ball to the front of Juventus' penalty area.

Di Natale, in front of the penalty area, the Cagliari striker stopped the ball against Cannavaro's chest, and then passed the ball diagonally to Ribery's feet on the left.

"MilitoShootBuffonBuffonJuventus goalkeeper flies to block Milito's push." ​​Ribery, who received the pass, did not rush into the Juventus penalty area with the ball, but chose to pass the ball to Di Natale, who had already rushed into the penalty area.

At the near corner, Milito, who received the pass, separated half a body position from Zebina in an instant, and then pushed at the near corner. I have to say that Milito's push was very thoughtful, because standing at his angle, the field of view from the far corner is undoubtedly wider, or under normal circumstances, he must choose the far corner, but Milito did the opposite.

But it is a pity that Milito did the opposite and did not deceive Buffon. In this save, Buffon showed the demeanor of the world's number one goalkeeper.

At the moment of Milito's shot, Buffon shifted the center instantly, then jumped for life, and finally blocked the ball from the bottom line on the goal line.

Cagliari ushered in the first corner kick of the game. Guardiola sent it into the penalty area with a big foot. Chiellini jumped high and smashed his head at the ball that flew in front of him.

"High Cannavaro" jumped with Chiellini and Juventus' central defender.

"Cagliari almost scored at the beginning of the game" Cagliari's attack is quite threatening.
