Mister Legend

Chapter 162 Fight Viola

About half an hour later, the passengers on this flight finally came out of the station in groups. At least half of them were yellow-skinned Chinese people. It can be seen that our Great China is indeed rich, and there are so many people who want to choose Travel to Italy, which takes half a day to fly.Not long after, Li Mudi saw his big nephew who was like a bamboo pole in the middle and back of the crowd. He had just passed his 13th birthday, and his height was even higher than that of his not-so-short elder sister, almost reaching 170 cm, but his weight was It weighs only about 53 kilograms, and when the jacket is lifted, there are ribs. This body shape is really eye-catching.Li Mudi hurriedly waved his hands, and then asked Baozi to hold up the pick-up sign with the eldest sister's name in his hand, otherwise, with his own attire, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize his parents when they came.

I won’t go into details about the reunion. Anyway, the whole family was very excited, the two ladies shed tears, and the coach of Turin was also a little choked up. The nephew always looked very happy, hugging his uncle whom he hadn't seen for a long time and never letting go, always trying to destroy his disguise.Because of this bastard's trouble, Li Modi didn't dare to stay at the airport any longer. He was afraid of attracting reporters and causing unnecessary troubles to his family, so he hurriedly calmed down and led everyone back to the Turin club's residence in a car rented in advance. Not too far from the hotel.

After having a simple lunch in the restaurant, and entrusting the remaining five family members to Baozi except the second brother-in-law who couldn't come because of overtime work, Li Modi hurried back to the training base in a disguise.The league match against Fiorentina will start at 18 o'clock tomorrow night. The training on the day of the game is mainly about adjusting the state, so the final practice of the tactical drill can only be arranged this afternoon. At this time, the head coach must be present. Others Everything has to make way for it, but fortunately, the team will have a three-day holiday after this game, and Li Moody has plenty of time to spend with his family.

Since the opponents in the next few rounds of the league include Lazio and Inter Milan, the two "mortal enemies" besides Palermo, the Turin coach really wants to make good use of his home court advantage to win the Viola and play a role in the difficult schedule. With a good foundation, the training time of this day once again far exceeded the original plan, and it was not declared over until six o'clock in the evening.Fortunately, the items are all analysis videos and tactical drills, which do not consume much physical energy for the players.After the dissolution, Li Modi quickly "dressed up" himself again, then took a taxi and went straight to the hotel. At this point in time, his parents must have arrived.

According to the meaning of the elder sister and the second sister, they originally wanted to fly to Spain to visit their aunt and uncle, the parents of the Turin coach, and then come to Italy.However, the old couple thought that they had finally come out, and the time was quite tight. This time, they were mainly traveling in Italy, so they didn't agree to let five people mess around. Instead, the two old people also flew over, and everyone was in Turin. get together.After Li Mudi entered the room, he saw that everyone had already arrived and was being dragged by his little nephew to play Guoqu.What followed was naturally endless chatting and intimacy, and then a real welcome banquet. The exotic meal full of Italian style made everyone full of praise.Of course, the consumption of euros is not a small number. For this reason, the two sisters and eldest brother-in-law also complained that Li Mudi was too wasteful. Regarding the kind complaints from his family, the coach of Turin just laughed and said nothing. In addition, few people may really know that the deposit in his account has reached more than 700 million euros, a proper little rich man!
The next morning, after eating the breakfast provided by the hotel, Li Moody said goodbye to his family and rushed back to the training ground.The remaining eight people together with Baozi will have professional tour guides to lead them to various famous scenic spots in the city. In the evening, they will go to the Olympic Stadium to watch the Serie A match live. Come on buddies.

At the press conference before the game, Li Moody still didn’t say much, and tried to briefly mention the relevant issues about the Turin team and himself. Instead, he praised Fiorentina and its coach Paulo Sousa, making people who don’t know think that In the current standings, the home team ranks No.12, and the visiting team ranks third.Afterwards, the Portuguese, who has been in the football circle for 30 years, naturally sang praises to Li Moody, wishing to praise him as the best head coach in the world. It's hard to say how much sincerity is contained in it.

The game kicked off at midnight on October 10rd, Chinese time. It was not a very suitable time for fans to watch, but fortunately, it was a long holiday. Apart from Turin, the "home team of the Chinese Dynasty", Florence's The appeal cannot be underestimated, so the number of viewers who watched the game through the CCTV Sports Channel and the XiaoTV network platform still reached more than 3 million, only slightly less than the number in the last round against Rome, which once again shocked the European media and Various football associations.

In the final stage of the press conference, the two teams announced the starting list of the game one after another.Paul Sousa changed his usual four-back position and adopted a 3-4-2-1 that emphasizes defense and midfield control. Croatian international striker Nikola Kalinic and Slovenian midfielder Ilicic ( Josip Ilicic), Spanish midfielder Borja Valero who was born in Real Madrid's youth training, local youth talent Zi Beibei - Federico Bernardeschi and other main players are all on the stage , Of course, Croatian left-back Milic also appeared in the position of left-wing back.

As for the home team, Li Moody basically abandoned the three-back tactic designed before the season, and instead used a 4-3-3 formation for consecutive rounds.The goalkeeper is still the England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who is improving day by day. The four backs are Bruno Perez, Castan, Rossettini and Avilar from right to left, and the three midfielders are the midfielders. Akuwa, central midfielders Baselli and Benassi, frontcourt trio: right winger Rajajic, left winger Farke, center Belotti.Apart from a rotation in a few positions, Torino's main lineup this season seems to have a certainty.

After the official start of the game, the home team still adopts a strategy of slightly retreating and focusing on defensive counterattacks. In the first 10 minutes, the opponents are allowed to control the ball in the backcourt, but they are resolutely prevented from easily entering their own danger zone.Therefore, when Fiorentina almost controlled more than 7% of the ball possession time, they failed to find a good chance to score. In the third and seventh minutes, both long-range shots were blocked by the home team's defenders and then cleared. Failed to get Joe Hart to make a save.

In fact, the current defensive system of this Turin team has gradually formed after running in many games. Although the header ability is still not reassuring, if the whole team focuses on defense and has the cooperation of midfielders and frontcourt players Under certain circumstances, there is still a certain ability to resist blows.It's just that once the team turns to attack and widens the distance between the three lines, more problems will appear when the defense line directly faces the opponent's attack line. The reason why it is difficult for the team to achieve zero seals.As of the sixth round of the league, Turin has only kept the goal against the two relegation favorites Empoli and Pescara. Even Bologna, which has weak offensive power, has broken through their goal. This defensive ability is evident.

Fiorentina's single center Kalinic (that is, the one who transferred to AC Milan in 2017) is tall, with balanced left and right foot abilities, excellent anticipation and off-ball running, plus a double-double of 15 shots and headers. The ball ability can be said to be a rare excellent center forward.However, under Turin's crowd tactics, they failed to take advantage of the slightest advantage. They were forced to pull to the sideways many times to find room for movement, and naturally their power was greatly reduced.But fortunately, several midfielders of the visiting team are very good at handling the ball, especially the Spaniard Valero. Although his physical fitness is only a general condition, his technical aspects, especially the passing and receiving links, are definitely the best in Serie A. Outstanding, 18's passing ability is worthy of being the core identity of a first-class team.Under his orderly management, although Viola failed to find a good opportunity to threaten the opponent's goal, at least it did not allow the home team's counterattack tactics to play any role.

Facing the somewhat passive situation on the scene, the more than 2 home team fans in the audience did not feel overly frustrated, and the negative actions such as boos were naturally gone, because they had already seen it when they played Roma in the last round of the league. What is it like to be suppressed even more severely?So now the entire Olympic Stadium is still full of passionate battle songs, full of momentum, which proves from the side that Li Mudi has won the approval of most fans. No matter how ugly the scene is, as long as the team can win, Then everything is not a problem.To be honest, the fans of the Red Bulls are much easier to serve than the Meilingers.

However, it is not Li Mudi's preference to be beaten passively all the time. He still prefers to be pressed on the ground and repeatedly rubbed against the opponent. So in the No. 13 minute of the game, after seeing that the attack of the visiting team gradually slowed down, Turin Sure enough, the coach directed the players to start the highest-level siege of the opponent's midfield organizer Valero in accordance with the "tips and tricks" formulated before the game.Because this move came too suddenly, the Spaniard, who had been able to play freely before, felt extremely uncomfortable in an instant. He had to deal with the ball in various very difficult situations. Before he figured out a solution, he still made a big mistake. .

No. In 15 minutes, Valero, who controlled the ball on the left side of the midfield circle, chose to dribble to this side under the marking of Benassi, but he encountered the Torino right back Bruno who ran over at high speed and snatched it head-on. Perez, in a panic, had to pass the ball back to the left back Milic behind him.The Croatian was not ready to catch the ball at all, and let the ball slide past him and fell into the feet of Falk who had just changed sides to this side. The Spanish winger directly led the ball to the opponent's penalty area .Because Belotti, the instant top scorer in Serie A, has always held the attention of the visiting team's defender in the middle, the central defender on this side was loaned from the Mexican team CD Guadalajara (Chivas for short) The newly promoted Mexican international Carlos Salcedo (Carlos Salcedo) did not dare to steal easily, so he had to retreat while waiting for his teammates to return to the defense.But he still underestimated Farke's advantage in flexibility. The latter accelerated and crossed the penalty area line. Before the Mexican central defender was about to make a move, he nimbly flicked the ball to the left, and then took off. The left foot kicked a low-strength but very tricky shot close to the ground.After the ball passed under the right foot that Salcedo raised to block the attack, it passed in front of Astori, who was not prepared at all, and went straight to the lower right corner of the Fiorentina goal.The goalkeeper of the visiting team, Romanian goalkeeper Ciprian-Anton Tatarusanu (Ciprian-Anton Tatarusanu), even though he tried his best to throw to his right side, still did not prevent the ball from going around his fingertips after drawing a beautiful small arc. In the blind corner of the gate. 1 to 0, the Turin team, which had been passive before, took the lead in the score with the second kick of the whole game, and the whole stadium was boiling.

Of course, this is not just because the team is ahead, there are other reasons.In a league game that just ended an hour ago, Atlanta, who played at home, finally confirmed the impressive strength that Li Moody had been praising them before. They won the third victory of the season against the mighty Naples, helping their own ranking. In addition to the increase, the White Dolphin's points remained at 14 points.With Falk's goal, the Turin team's instant league points have reached 15 points, becoming No.2 in Serie A at this moment. The Turin fans who saw this message on the big screen in the stadium were naturally excited and wanted to vent their anger.This energy surprised Li Modi's family members. Fortunately, there were two foreign students from the Celestial Dynasty as translators, so they figured out the reason.However, the conversation between them was inadvertently overheard by the fans around them. When they learned that these orientals were the family members of the Turin coach, the fans who had not been very friendly to Li Moody before were very excited and rushed to join him. They shook hands or hugged to express their respect for the long-lost head coach who brought honor to the team. This caused a strong sense of pride to arise in the hearts of several Chinese people, and they all expressed admiration in their hearts: Moody (Uncle) Well done!
And in the live broadcast room at the back of China Central TV Sports Channel, Zhang Lu directed a series of praise comments, and with the spread of the live broadcast signal, it entered the ears of every Chinese fan who followed the game, presenting a national celebration for this festival. A small but inspiring little gift.
