Chapter 157 The "low-key" Chinese people

"Two players were sent off in one game. In addition, there were many large-scale fouls. The style of the Turin team can be seen. The coaching philosophy and moral standards of the Chinese coach deserve everyone's attention." - " The Courier;
"Lady Luck obviously favored the Celestials that night. Pescara, who dominated the game, still failed to win the first victory of the new season. Otto still needs to work harder. But Turin captain Vives said The back shoveling foul was too bad. If Italian football wants to catch up with Yingxi and return to the top, it must not let go of such a dirty move. I hope that the Football Association will give punishment measures as soon as possible, and Italian football will be fair and clean environment." - Gazzetta dello Sport;
"The real level of the Red Bulls is the relegation team! After winning in an extremely difficult way at the Adriatico Stadium, Li Moody's team has reached the goal of two consecutive victories, and it seems to be doing well. But If you carefully look at the opponents and the game process of these two games, you will find that the strength of the Turin team has actually been overestimated by the outside world. Empoli, the third from the bottom in the league; Pescara, the last from the bottom, they should They are the two weakest Serie A teams this season. Facing such an opponent, the Red Bulls can only rely on two lucky goals to score six points, which shows that their level is only at the end of the league With the emergence of powerful teams such as Roma, Fiorentina and Inter Milan, I believe that the Chinese and his team are likely to be beaten back to their original form, and the relegation battle has just begun!" - "Roma Sports News;
"Last night's Serie A league dedicated another game worth paying attention to for the majority of fans. The Turin team played away with two fewer players and defeated Pescara, who had an absolute advantage, by a score of 1-0. Although the two sides did not perform well on the offensive end throughout the game, Li Moody, the coach of the visiting team from the Celestial Dynasty, still showed everyone the magical ability that comes from the mysterious ancient eastern country. He led by one goal and the two were blocked. In the case of being sent off, he decisively transformed a top scorer in Serie A into a ubiquitous powerful midfielder, making the home team's next dozen offensives all come back to no avail. This is really a genius idea and execution ability. Will witness the rise of an amazing coach." - La Repubblica;
"Since the first round of this season's league almost staged a major reversal at San Siro, the Red Bulls have shown tenacity and flexibility that are different from previous years. After the young Chinese coach Li Moody took over, the players seem to gradually incarnate. In order to survive Xiaoqiang, although there is still a certain gap between the level of playing and those of the top stars, at least they are hard to be defeated by their opponents at the spiritual level. I believe that with the gradual integration of the team and the further growth of young players , the results of the Turin team will definitely get better and better, please support and understand." - "Turin Sport".

Since the only highlight of this round of the league, AC Milan's home game against Lazio was played on Tuesday night, so most of the Italian media on Thursday morning focused their comments on Turin's narrow victory.The battle at the Adriatico Stadium last night was a surprising game, both in terms of the process and the final result.Although in the post-match press conference, Li Mudi didn't say anything nutritious, but kept defending Vivis, who was sent off with a red card, thinking that the captain of the team didn't intend to intentionally hurt others, and hoped that he could use his own Supporting and decompressing the "old man" through media reports, it would be even better if it can affect the punishment of the Football Association.

It's a pity how can an organization that has always appeared as a villain make the protagonist so easily satisfied?At noon on Friday, the Turin club received the penalty document from the opponent. At the same time, a notice was posted on the official website of the Italian Football Association: Vivis was punished for his uncool behavior in the last game. A suspension of four league games and a fine of [-] euros.In the eyes of the Turin coach, this penalty is a bit heavy, but the team is still far from having the confidence to slam "superior leadership." Therefore, it was given up under the persuasion of Valentino Cairo appeal.But in this way, Akuwa is the only one left in Turin in terms of defensive midfielder staffing, and the Ghanaian will also be suspended for the next round, which brings a very big problem to the entire coaching staff. problem.

The team returned to Turin by plane at noon on Thursday. There are only three days left before Sunday's home game against Roma. Now they must race against time to prepare an effective tactical play. After all, the opponent His strength is there, that is the No.3 existence in the league!
Speaking of the standings, after defeating two underdogs in a row, the Turin team temporarily ranked seventh in the league with 3 wins and 2 losses, 11 goals scored and 6 goals conceded. There is a difference of three points.And under their pressure are AC Milan and Fiorentina, and Lazio, who just lost 0 to 2 to the Rossoneri, only got 7 points and was squeezed out of the top ten position, hating Mihai Lovech and the local media in Rome were itching.Since it's only late September and the number of matches is still small, the points gap between the top [-] or [-] in the league is not that big.However, it is more or less surprising that the red Red Bull, which was widely disliked before, can have such a good performance.Fortunately, the hard-talking media and the excuse that the opponent's strength is too weak can be used, thinking that Turin will soon collapse under the attack of a strong team, but still more than half of the relevant people have initially recognized the strength of the Chinese coach, after all It is really difficult for ordinary people to achieve such results in the top league in the second year of their coaching career.

So in the short three days from Friday to Sunday, the public relations department of the Turin club received invitations from as many as [-] to [-] media, large and small, and they all wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with the team's head coach.However, the feedback they received was very disconcerting. Castellazi, the director in charge of public relations and reception affairs, actually informed them: "Coach Li Moody has been fully preparing for the team's tough schedule for the next month. Every day, only With less than ten hours of personal rest time, I have no time to come out to accept media interviews, so I can only refuse everyone's kindness in desperation. However, our Turin Club will always provide the most authentic and detailed information for the media. If you have any information, you can directly contact our staff, and the club will reply and deal with it as soon as possible. In addition..."

As soon as this response came out, not only did it not dispel the media's attention on Li Mudi, but it attracted more people who wanted to find out what mysteries the Celestial People were playing up.At nine o'clock on Friday night, when Modi Li came out of a nearby convenience store, carrying a bag of ice cream and was about to walk back to the apartment, he was suddenly interviewed by two journalists from a certain tabloid, which scared the Turin coach In a panic, he smashed the large bag of freezing points in an aluminum box in his hand on the head of one of them, knocking him out at that time.The matter was finally resolved by alarming the police. As the next round of the league was about to start, Li Moody was only allowed to go home after being questioned and investigated that night, while Guinness and Castellazi had to As the representative of the party and the representative of the club, both dealt with between the police station and the local prosecutor.

In the morning of the next day, many "anti-Lee" media couldn't wait to give the Turin coach a "violent" name, calling him a football hooligan on the sidelines. spray.But fortunately, because the situation of that conflict was very simple and clear, the police quickly issued an announcement, confirming that Li Mudi had no fault in the incident.Guinness immediately sent a lawyer's letter to the media suspected of insulting and defaming his partner, and threatened in an interview that if the other party does not publish an apology letter on the front page as soon as possible, then see you in court.

After this unexpected accident, the outside world found that the head coach of Tianchao seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. After several tabloids known for their outstanding paparazzi skills squatted near Li Mudi's apartment for several days, none of them found him. Found him back to rest.The reporters who stayed outside the Turin club's training base were unable to find out where the team's coach went after the daily training. After analysis, it was roughly confirmed that he should live directly in the club's dormitory.There are also media speculations that the Turin coach was scared out of his wits and did not dare to live outside alone anymore, so he hid in a densely populated place urgently.

In the current era where media capabilities are almost pervasive, most of the things can't be hidden from them. Li Mudi indeed moved into the internal dormitory prepared by the club for the staff immediately after leaving the police station on Friday night. Even the basic daily necessities were fetched by the prince driving back to the apartment.But the main reason why he moved here was not because he was frightened, although when the two people came from behind, Li Modi was indeed taken aback, thinking that he was robbed or even kidnapped.However, after seeing the cameras and microphones in their hands, they guessed the identity of the reporter. They just wanted to avoid the opponent's entanglement because they didn't want to be asked questions about preparing for the Roma team. Inexperienced in the industry, he still felt that the Chinese were easy to bully, and even grabbed the clothes of the Turin coach to prevent him from leaving, which forced Li Mudi to do it.

Originally, the full responsibility for this conflict was on the other party, and it would be fine to go to the police station to explain clearly, but when he was being questioned, the whole process of this incident was spread on the Internet for some reason. In just half an hour, it became known to the world, and both Spain and China also received the news.The parents who heard the rumors from the neighbors immediately called. Fortunately, Li Mudi repeatedly emphasized that he was not harmed, which temporarily dissuaded the old couple from their urge to fly over overnight.And then the eldest sister who was far away in China also made a long-distance call on behalf of the whole family. According to her, the news channel of CCTV mentioned the "attack incident" of the Turin coach in a news program. up.

In order to reassure his parents, Modi had no choice but to allow them to temporarily move out of the apartment and live in a safe place for a few days. Since he couldn't find any suitable place for the time being, he stayed at the suggestion of Valentino Cairo After entering the club's dormitory, the outside world thought he was "counseled", what a great injustice!
However, the benefits of living here are also very obvious. He has more time to discuss with the coaching staff the matters to be paid attention to in the next few tough battles. The preparatory meeting lasted until 10:30 in the evening, and many wives of the coaches called to check the post, asking if they were fooling around outside if they didn’t come home so late, which made a bunch of old drivers laugh. .

In a flash of time, it came to Sunday, September 9th, and there will be six Serie A games played on the night of this day.In the two games that ended earlier yesterday, Juventus and Naples, who deliberately played in advance for the midweek Champions League, both defeated their respective opponents and continued to maintain their top two positions in the standings. It brought a lot of pressure to the third-ranked Roma team.The Red Wolves, who also need to play in the Europa League in the middle of this week, were tied 25-1 by the weaker Czech team Plzen Victory (FC Viktoria Plzen) in the first round of the group stage. If they want to successfully break through, then A home game against Romanian league champions FC Astra Giurgiu on Thursday night cannot afford to miss.Therefore, the head coach Spalletti is very cautious in the formation of this week's game, and wants to win a complete victory at the lowest cost.

The match between Turin and Rome was scheduled to kick off at 12:30 noon local time, that is, kick-off at 18:30 pm China time, which is definitely a golden time.It is rare for CCTV Sports to produce a large-scale live event. It started a delayed recording of the pre-match press conference from 17:30 p.m. The screen switched to the live broadcast signal.According to news media reports the next day, a total of more than 700 million Chinese fans watched the game through the CCTV channel and the network signal of Xiaoshi Sports, setting a new record for the ratings of a single Serie A game this season.

Turning the camera back to the pre-match press conference, Li Moody made his public appearance for the first time since the "attack incident", which naturally attracted the attention of dozens of domestic and foreign media.Due to the forcible intervention of the host, all questions unrelated to the competition were blocked, which made many reporters present feel helpless and angry.What made them even more maddened was that the Turin coach has always kept a low profile on football-related issues. He just kept complimenting how powerful his opponent is and how much he admired him. It made people want to vomit and angered many reporters. Curse in my heart: MMP!
