This morning, the European group stage of the World Cup preliminaries continues, and the Bianconeri and Juventus domestic team did not get more time to appear in the first round.

In a match in the 4th round of Group D, France, which lacked Kylian Mbappe, was tied 2-2 away by Iceland, which was quite an upset. In the 39th minute, Iceland relied on Parsons to take the lead. Then, France launched a counterattack in the second half. Nkunku and Mateta scored one after another, helping France rewrite the score to 2-1. In the 70th minute, Hellinson scored a goal for Iceland, locking the score at 2-2.

In this game, Juventus star Thuram came on as a substitute in the 75th minute of the game. He contributed 1 shot, 1 clearance and 1 steal in the limited playing time. He was rated 7.1 points after the game.

In a match at the end of the 8th round of Group J, Belgium defeated Wales 4-2 away from home. De Bruyne scored twice from penalty kicks, and Meunier and Trossard scored respectively to help Belgium win smoothly. Juventus forward Oponda did not get any playing time in this game and was firmly locked on the bench by Belgian coach Garcia.

In addition, Sweden, which has two great strikers in Isaac and Jokeres, was defeated by Kosovo 0-1 at home and suffered three consecutive defeats in the qualifying rounds. Juventus winger Djegrova came on as a substitute for Kosovo in the 71st minute of the game. He was still slowly finding the feeling of the game and was rated 6.5 points after the game.

Bremer's injury affects people's hearts

Yesterday, Juventus' official website announced that Bremer, the core of the defense, will undergo partial meniscectomy on the inside of his left knee. Countless Juventus fans were sad. In addition to worrying about Bremer's injury, they also felt hesitant about Juventus' next devilish schedule.

As we all know, Juventus has not introduced strong defenders this summer, leaving the team's defense team stretched. Now that Bremer has been sidelined for at least 4-6 weeks due to injury, Tudor has to pin his hopes on defenders such as Gatti Kalulukeli Rugani. In addition, Juventus second-team youngster Pedro may also have the opportunity to appear as a substitute in the subsequent schedule.

It is worth mentioning that before Bremer, many stars including Coutinho, Fati, Karlsdorp, Florenzi, Pogba and Milik had undergone similar meniscus removal surgeries. Most of these players did not return to their peak after successful surgeries.

I wonder if Bremer can break the curse and become a superhero who overcomes injuries?

Come on! Dear Lao Mo!

Other Juventus trends

Juventus third goalkeeper Pinsoglio is facing a difficult choice. According to "Gazzetta dello Sport", the 35-year-old Pinsoglio has plans to retire in his heart, but has not yet made a final decision. Since Juventus already has two outstanding goalkeepers, Di Gregorio and Perrin, Pinsoglio has played 0 official game minutes since last season.

Whether Pinsoglio chooses to retire or not, his long-term silent contribution on the Juventus bench has left a deep impression on Juventus fans. Juventus's success and glory can never be separated from the help of "green leaves" like Pinsoglio. I wish Pinsoglio smooth sailing in his later career as a player or manager at Juventus.
