Mister Legend

Chapter 148 Gasperini

This time, Belotti, who returned from the national team, made his debut as a substitute for Inter Milan striker Eder in the 9th minute of the warm-up match against France in Bari on September 1. .It's a pity that the Azzurri were already 704-1 behind when he played, and the time left for him to play was really short, and in the No.2 minute, the French team scored again with a quick counterattack by the left back Kurzawa. The third goal, and finally defeated Italy at home 801-3, gave coach Ventura a bad start.

Red Beibei felt a little unhappy that he was the sixth Italian player to come off the bench in this game, and he was also the last one to come on the field. There was so little time.The home team conceded the second goal in the 208th minute. It was time to strengthen the offense, but Edel was sleepwalking on the field. If he could replace himself earlier, maybe the final result would be better. rewritten.But this kind of emotion does not reach the level of resentment. After all, the old man is the mentor who brought him to Turin, and now he is given the first chance to serve the country. It is too late to be grateful. the point.The reason why I feel a little depressed is just that young players want their national team debut to go smoothly. Winning is the foundation, and it would be even better if they can score goals. Of course, if they can complete a hat-trick for the first time playing for the national team , is absolutely the most perfect thing.This kind of little depression completely disappeared after a night of sleep, and it was not a problem at all.

However, the negative emotions emerged four days later. On September 9, Italy was a guest at the Sami Over Stadium to play against Israel in the first round of the European Group G of the 5 World Cup qualifiers.Although they finally won the opponent 2018-3, the process was not easy, especially when Edel seemed to disappear on the field again, which made the Azzurri's frontcourt attack very difficult.But when Ventura finally decided to replace the Inter Milan striker, he chose Immobile as a substitute instead of Belotti.Although the Lazio center forward is Hong Beibei's former teammate and good friend, he was abandoned by the coach at the critical moment of the official game, which was definitely a major blow to him.To make matters worse, Immobile scored his second goal after 1 appearances in the national team after 13 minutes on the field, adding a heavy weight to himself in the head coach's heart, almost declaring The Turin striker also lost the possibility of playing in the next game.

As a result, Hong Beibei was depressed, really depressed, until he returned to the club from the national team for two days and couldn't recover his previous excitement. If he worked hard and earnestly during training, he seldom smiled.Seeing this situation, Li Mudi had no choice but to play the role of a confidant big brother again. He invited the team's main striker to taste a feast of heaven in private, and analyzed various situations for him in earnest during the dinner. "As long as you perform well in the club, the position of the main force of the national team will definitely be in your pocket." Finally, you have fooled this young striker whose actual psychological maturity is much smaller than his appearance.

Before the evening break, the Turin coach couldn't help belittling his predecessor in his heart.The Italian national team is now at a low point in the striker line. As I said before, Edel, Zaza and Gabbiadini are unreliable, and Pellet’s girlfriend is so beautiful. Lottie and Immobile are the ideal striker partners.It just so happens that Ventura likes the tactics of playing double forwards, so he should establish the absolute main force status of these two as early as possible, and at the same time complete the replacement of the old and the new in the midfield as soon as possible, so as to increase the chances of the main lineup running in, so that they can gain in Russia two years later. A fighting new team.He shouldn't make minor repairs like he is now, trying to retain most of the veterans. Spain in the past few years is a lesson from the past.There is a famous saying in China, which is "Nothing can be broken, nothing can be built". If you can't make up your mind to overthrow the previous old foundations and start over, I am afraid that the future of the Azzurri will be very difficult.

As many important players in the team were disturbed by the problems of the national team, their morale was somewhat low. In the next few days, Li Moody used various methods to cheer everyone up, encouraging them to work harder and show courage to those who are not optimistic for the time being. The head coach of their national team believes that his outstanding performance will definitely impress the latter, so that his name will be written on the next national team roster.

Unknowingly, the time has come to the second weekend of September. On Saturday night, the third round of Serie A will start with two matches. In the middle of the week, Juventus and Naples, who have the task of the Champions League match, will take the lead. debut.The result was not surprising. Both strong teams scored three points. Among them, the Old Lady defeated Sassuolo 3-1 at home, while Naples scored a 3-0 victory away from home. Palermo, who ranked last in two rounds.Turin's away game against Atlanta was scheduled until 15:00 on Sunday afternoon, and there were also three games played by the Roma duo and AC Milan that kicked off at the same time.

One and a half months later, Li Mudi led the red bulls again to the Atleti Azzurri d'Italia stadium. In addition to being the home ground of the first division team Atalanta, this stadium is also used by the Serie C team Albino Lefe. From the youth training camp of this team.

The performance of the Son of Sea God in the first two rounds of the league was astonishing, not very good, but very bad.In the first round, they played a tragic goal battle with Lazio at home, and they lost 3-4 regrettably. In this round, they challenged Sampdoria in an away game, and again failed to score points with a difference of 1-2 and one goal. Let the opponent get two consecutive victories, and catch up with the old lady in the standings.Such a result is a bit embarrassing for the coach Gasperini who has just been poached from Genoa. After all, his previous results are very good, and he is like a template for a successful coach.

Speaking of this Jiashuai, there are really many things worth introducing. Born in 1958, he is about to enter the year of Ershun, and his mentality at this stage is naturally strong. At the age of 18, he was promoted from the youth training camp to the Juventus adult team, but he failed to gain a foothold there. Since then, he has wandered in many teams and played for Reggina, Palermo, Pescara and Juventus. Salernitana and many other well-known clubs. After retiring in 1994, he returned to Turin and became the coach of the Juventus U18 youth team. He has been concentrating on training young players for ten years. Only after being invited, he became an official head coach, and since then started an amazing coaching career.

In the first season of coaching, Gasperini led his team to No.2 in the league and was promoted to Serie B. In the following two seasons, they achieved No.15 and ninth respectively. In the summer of 06, Genoa, who had just been promoted to the second division, dug him over, and Jiashuai lived up to expectations and led the Griffin Legion, which had won nine Serie A championships. Miracles big and small.On the other hand, Crotone was relegated back to Serie C this season, which is very miserable.After he left the team, the old club's "Gasperini Law" that fell into a trough showed its power for the first time.

The 2008-09 season was the third season of Jiashuai coaching Genoa, and it was also the second year the team returned to Serie A. As a result, they actually won the fifth place in the league and qualified for the Europa League, which surprised everyone. Surprised. In the 2009-10 season, due to the lack of strength in two-lane combat, it was a pity that the Europa League failed to qualify for the group stage with a three-point gap. In the league, it only achieved No.9 results. This team can improve next season.Unexpectedly, the team got off to a bad start, and even took the initiative to fire the squid at the beginning of November. As a result, Genoa, who changed coaches, did not advance but retreated, and finally fell to tenth place. Gasperini's coaching ability has been controversial.

In the summer of 2011, Inter Milan, which had won five consecutive Serie A championships, finally missed the first excellent opportunity in Italian history to complete six consecutive championships, and was crushed by the rival AC Milan in the same city.After the peaceful termination of the contract with the former Brazilian star, former Rossoneri player and coach Leonardo (he took over the coach left by Benitez in Christmas 2010), Moratti turned his attention to Gass On Perini's body, he immediately signed a 1+1 contract with him, and the second year was not guaranteed.Just when the Italian media frantically boasted that the combination of the best local coach and the best team in previous years was a match made in heaven, they were slapped in the face by what happened afterwards.Inter Milan was first reversed by the same city rival AC Milan in the Italian Super Cup, and then only achieved a dismal record of 1 draw and 2 losses in the league that started very late due to labor disputes, and then they lost at home in the Champions League. Trabzonspor Sports of Turkey.And after an upset loss to the newly promoted Novara in the fourth round, the club announced the news of the reshuffle. It was only 88 days after it took office. This record was considered difficult to be broken. There comes Frank DeBoer!

In fact, Gasperini is also a bit unlucky. After losing the league championship last season, Inter Milan also lost their previous spirit. full strength.The second round of the league's away game against Palermo and the third round of the home game against Rome are very difficult. In fact, he only made a major mistake in this game against Novara, while Inter Milan's first round at home The game against the underdog Lecce was changed to December due to time constraints, otherwise the first victory would have been achieved long ago, and he would not have to bear the burden of "the first player in the history of Inter Milan to fail to win a game." The title of the coach who was dismissed after victory".

Although only one point was scored in the first three league games, it is actually not a big problem. As long as they can gradually get back on track, then even if there is no hope of regaining the championship, it is still very possible to keep the second and fight for the third. .However, after Inter Milan successively appointed two coaches Ranieri and Stella Maggioni, they only fixed the ranking at No.6 at the end of the season, and they are 26 points away from the top Juventus. , This shows from the side that their sinking is not all Jia Shuai's fault, and he cannot bear the blame alone. In the 2012-13 season, the Nerazzurri slipped to the No.9 position in the league, and they were a thousand miles away from qualifying for the European war.After losing Gasperini, Genoa became more and more depressed. In the two consecutive seasons from 2011 to 13, they ranked No. 17 in a thrilling relegation. The power of "Gasperini's law" must not be underestimated. .

Jiashuai, who was fired by Inter Milan, took over Palermo, which had a poor start, in September 2013 after a year's rest. Although he tried his best, he still failed to organize the team. In the downturn, he finally voluntarily resigned from his position in the spring of the second year, and the team will also enter Serie B after the end of the league.

At the end of September 2013, Genoa, which only achieved 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses at the beginning of the league, announced a rapid coaching change and welcomed back the former meritorious coach Gasperini. Really immediate results.Although due to various reasons, the Griffin Corps only won the No.1 of the season, but the team's progress is obvious to all.So under the full trust of the club, Jiashuai led the team to an excellent record of No.1 in the league next season. Unfortunately, due to the stadium problem, it was not registered by the Italian Football Association and thus failed to pass the UEFA qualification review. The obtained Europa League qualification was handed over to Sampdoria, which is seventh in the league.

Last season, due to the recovery of the strength of the Milan duo and the poaching of several important players, Genoa's competitiveness was greatly reduced. In the end, it only got the No.11 result in the league. It is really difficult to be satisfied.Therefore, after the expiration of the previous contract, Gasperini resolutely left the Griffin Legion, which was severely under-aggressive, and switched to the embrace of Atlanta, which is No. 13 in the league and one point less than Genoa. Time caused quite a stir.In the real world, at the end of the 16-17 season, Atlanta finally ranked No.30 in the league with 72 points, the best score in the past 4 years, while Genoa only scored 36 points. The teams are all ridiculously bad, and it is estimated that they are likely to be relegated. The ability of the best coach in Italy's "non-rich level" in recent years can be seen.

Facing such an extremely powerful opponent, Li Mudi naturally did not dare to be careless, and started "retreat" three or four days in advance.After the training in the afternoon, I locked myself in the apartment and didn’t come out even a single step. Even dinner was served through takeout. Even the manager Guinness came from Spain to discuss important matters with him, but he temporarily pushed aside and tried his best Study Atlanta game tape.In addition, the scouting team also obtained some special tactics practiced by the opponent during the training period. Combined with the information given by the FM system, the Turin coach is determined to take all three points in the next game. A powerful opponent to further counter the doubts of the outside world.
