Chapter 240: Buffon

In the controversy caused by Gao Zheng's "I am so fucking" remark, the match between Sampdoria and Juventus also came.
This game Sampdoria is an away challenge to Juventus.
Although as a newly promoted polo team, Sampdoria's performance this season is quite good, but they are not worth mentioning when they compare with Juventus.
Juventus as the league champion last season, of course this season's goal is to defend the title.
It took six years for them to return to the throne of the league title since the "Phone Gate" incident in the summer of 2006.
Last season they won the league championship with an undefeated record. Thirty-eight rounds, 23 wins, 15 draws, and zero losses.
This is the first team to win the championship with an undefeated record since the expansion of Serie A in the 2004-2005 season to 20 teams. And they also broke the previous record of the unbeaten 34-round league held by AC Milan, because they were unbeaten in 38 rounds, four more rounds than AC Milan...
Looking at the entire Serie A history, before them, only Perugia in the 1978-1979 season and AC Milan in the 1991-1992 season achieved the undefeated championship. Perugia had fewer teams that time, only 16 teams.
The more participating teams, the more games need to be played, and the more difficult it is to keep the league undefeated and win the championship.
This shows how powerful Juventus is today.
And this season, they have also maintained an unbeaten record until they meet Inter Milan, and eventually lost to Inter Milan at home 1:3, the end of the season undefeated record of 49 consecutive games.
But this did not affect Juventus' results at all.
In addition to defeating Parma 2:0 in the first round, they only ranked fourth, and rose to the first from the second round, and then they have never been in this position.
Even the eleventh round of the league lost to Inter Milan at home, and even the 14th round of the league lost to AC Milan away, it is the first place.
Because in addition to the two games they lost, they only tied two games, and all other games won.
Now they are ranked first with 44 points, leading second place Naples by as much as eight points.
The schedule is over halfway through. Although Serie A does not have the title of winter break champion, Juventus is actually the first half of Serie A.
But even so, no one at Juventus, whether it is club officials, coach Conte, or players, said that their title defense this season is a foregone conclusion.
Gao Zheng is now leading two goals on the shooter list, so he dare to clamor for the scheduled golden boots.
The comparison between the two is naturally unpleasant for the Italians.
It felt like being kicked by an outsider.
Now all of Italy, with the exception of Sampdoria's supporters, may think that Juventus is the best arrogant opponent to teach arrogance.
Because their defense is really good.
If you must say that Gao Zheng is currently the sharpest spear in Serie A, then Juventus is the strongest shield in Serie A.
The league has played eighteen rounds this season, and Juventus has conceded only eleven goals, the team with the fewest goals. Six less conceded than Naples, who conceded the second fewest. What is interesting is that on the league table, the team ranking is inversely proportional to the number of goals conceded. Juventus, which has the fewest goals, ranks first. Naples, which had the second fewest goals conceded, ranked second. The third-ranked team is Lazio. They have conceded eighteen goals and are the third-lessest team to concede. In the fourth and fifth places, Florence both lost 19 goals, making them the fourth youngest team to lose.
In contrast, Sampdoria has lost 21 goals so far this season.
In fact, the number of goals conceded is not much in the whole Serie A, but compared with Juventus, it is not enough to watch.
Juventus' defense is not only a matter of this season. Last season, the team was able to win the championship with an undefeated record, and their defense has made a great contribution.
Juventus scored 68 goals in the 38th round of the league last season. This goal ranked second in the Serie A season. AC Milan scored 74 goals, which was the most offensive firepower in Serie A last season. Violent team.
But why it was Juventus that won the championship last time, and it was a gap of four points.
Just because Juventus lost only 20 goals last season, the number of goals dropped was the lowest in Serie A, and it lost 13 goals less than second place AC Milan.
The thirteen goals that were missed opened the gap between Juventus and AC Milan.
Analyzing the goals and goals of the Serie A winning teams in the last five seasons, you will find that "defense wins the championship" makes sense, especially in Serie A-the team that wins the championship may not be the best The team that scored the goal, but it must be the team with the fewest goals.
In the 2007-2008 season, the league champion Inter Milan scored sixty-nine goals, conceding 26 goals with the least goals. The teams that scored the most goals in the season were Roma and Juventus, both scoring 72 goals, but only ranked second and third because they both lost 37 goals.
In the 2008-2009 season, the league champion Inter Milan, scored 70 teams that scored the most with AC Milan, but lost 32 goals, the least in the league. Although AC Milan has a strong offensive firepower, it has conceded three more goals than Inter Milan and finished third.
In the 2009-2010 season, the league champion Inter Milan scored 75 goals, the most in the league, 34 goals, the least in the league.
The 2010-2011 season league champion AC Milan scored 65 goals, not the most, and lost 20 goals, the least. Inter Milan, who scored the most goals, scored sixty-nine goals, but ranked second because he lost 42 goals.
This shows the importance of defense in the championship.
Juventus' excellent defense is inseparable from one of their souls, that is their captain, the legendary Gian Luigi Buffon who is alive in the goalkeeper.
It was this goalkeeper's excellent play that allowed Juventus to win the undefeated record last season.
Buffon made 35 appearances in the league last season and only lost 16 goals. In three games he didn't play, Juventus lost four goals. He played last season with zero opponents.
Is the most trustworthy patron saint in front of Juventus.
Buffon, who was born on January 28, 1978, is thirty-four years old this year, and his condition is still excellent. Sixteen appearances in the league this season, including seven games with zero opponents.
His practical door will describe him as not suitable in the future. I am afraid it is more appropriate to use "door god".
And this "door god" is the opponent Gao Zheng will face in this game.
※※※
When Gao Zheng finished the warm-up before the game and was about to return to the locker room, he met Buffon in the Juventus Arena.
The encounter between the two people was completely accidental. Although Gao Zheng had heard of Buffon's famous name, he was not familiar with him, so he didn't intend to say hello to him, just passed by.
But to his surprise, Buffon stopped him.
"Hey, boy."
Gao Zheng was stunned at first. He looked around and found that there were two of them in the tunnel. He pointed to himself and asked Buffon, "Are you calling me?"
"Of course, who else could it be?"
"Are you calling me something, Mr. Buffon?"
"Well, I just want to tell you that I have no injustice with you personally, but this game I will do my best not to let you score. I just hope you can learn to respect others." Buffon said.
Gao Zheng shook his head: "It seems that our understanding of'respect' is different. Respecting others I understand is to go all out in the game."
At this time Buffon had already come to him.
The height of the two is almost the same, but he just stood there, but Gao Zheng felt a huge pressure.
This is an aura of a world-class goalkeeper who is experienced in battle and experienced.
This is the goalkeeper of the World Cup!
While Chinese football is still struggling to reach the World Cup finals, they have already won the Golden Cup of Hercules.
Regardless of age and seniority, Gao Zheng is also a senior.
It stands to reason that if he meets in private, Gao Zheng, a junior in football, should also respect Buffon.
No... Even if it is not a private meeting, even on this occasion, Gao Zheng should show enough respect to Buffon, because Buffon's qualifications are worthy of respect.
In fact, it is the same. Juventus plays with other teams. Regardless of the relationship between the two teams, and regardless of the opponents' perception of the Juventus team, they have great respect for Buffon.
Facing Buffon's low head is not a humiliating and embarrassing thing for anyone.
This is not the case for Gao Zheng.
But when the two stood together, Gao Zheng chose to look directly at Buffon, with no respect in his eyes.
Buffon was obviously a bit surprised by Gao Zheng's reaction.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gao Zheng.
Gao Zheng looked at the football legend calmly.
It seems that the two people have been confronted countless times.
This staring situation was not broken until other players from both sides walked into the tunnel from the court and the locker room.
Those later players from both sides saw such a weird scene.
Under everyone's attention, Gao Zheng and Buffon separated, and Gao Zheng first walked to the dressing room.
Juventus players came up and asked their captain curiously: "What's wrong, Gigi?"
"Nothing." Buffon looked back at Gao Zheng's back.
Gao Zheng was also asked the same question by his Sampdoria teammate Marcy: "What does Buffon do with you?"
"It's nothing. We just discussed our views on the current development trend of football."
Marcy rolled his eyes: "Ghosts believe!"
