Mister Legend

Chapter 172
There is one less person on the front line, but it does not affect Lazio's offensive posture. Djojjevic's header advantage makes every chance of the visiting team's wide cross and set ball very threatening, and he came off the bench in the second half , also has an advantage in physical fitness, and the Turin team must use two defensive players to pinch it.And Immobile's speed and final strike ability are also top in Serie A. No team dares to underestimate him. The high-one-fast frontcourt combination under Mikhailovich is indeed very good It gave Li Moody a headache.After Jesse came on the field, the home team shifted the focus of the main attack to the more energetic Spaniard. Belotti no longer touched the ball too much, and used the remaining physical energy to grab points and finish in front of the goal. Rajajic has become a support point to contain the opponent's defense.As the game draws to a close, the physical strength of the players is about to be exhausted. Both sides simply made up their minds to make a last-ditch effort to fight each other on the offensive end. However, it is clear that the Red Bulls have not been able to adjust to their best form. fell into a disadvantage.

No.709 minutes, after receiving a cross from Jesse, Belotti turned around and shot near the top of the penalty area, and the ball missed the left post. One minute later, the Blue Eagles responded. The teenager Murgia took the ball and saw that the home team's players were not strictly marked, so he directly kicked a long shot 1 meters away from the goal, but unfortunately it was higher than the crossbar. No.28 minutes, Cataldi and Djojević entered the penalty area after kicking the wall at the front of the penalty area. The former faced Joe Hart directly with a low shot, but the angle was a little bit being caught by the Turin goalkeeper Blocking it with his legs, this opportunity was indeed very good, so anxious that Li Mudi kept yelling at the sidelines to reprimand the defenders for not concentrating enough.

But no matter how anxious he was, it was useless. Lazio suddenly adjusted the output to the MAX mode. This made the Turin team, which was still thinking about finding the field on the offensive end, unable to stand up for a while, and the situation of the home team suddenly It became particularly dangerous.The Turin coach hurriedly signaled to assistant coach Samfield that he would recall Fabas after warming up. He was going to replace the Serbian winger and change the formation to 4-4-2 to strengthen the defensive thickness of the midfield.It's a pity that the substitution procedure was not completed, and the situation on the court changed suddenly. No.80 In the second minute, Lulic made a pass from the left. The young player Murgia, who had been very active just 4 minutes into the game, suddenly inserted from the back row and scored a powerful header near the small penalty area. The ball hit the goal After touching Benassi's shoulder, he popped out of the baseline.Lulic then took another corner kick from the left. Djojević suddenly ran forward and attracted the attention of almost all Torino defenders, which allowed Murgia to head in the penalty area. At the time of the goal, there was no one marking the player next to him. 2-1, Lazio reversed the score in the closing stages of the game.It is worth mentioning that this is the boy's first official game goal in the senior team.In the face of this shot that was close at hand, the England goalkeeper, who had played well before, had no choice but to complain about his teammates' inability after the goal was scored, and he could only watch the opponent celebrate wildly at his home court.

After conceding the goal, the entire Turin Olympic Stadium fell into silence for the first time since the opening, but after a while, there was even more amazing shouting and cheering. Although boos and curses were inevitably mixed in, most fans still reported With a supportive attitude, this also quickly lifted the spirits of the home team players who were once a little unable to accept the reality.Li Moody on the sidelines lost his previous irritability and dissatisfaction after the score was rewritten. After signaling Fabas and Avelar to come off the bench to replace Akuva and Bareca, he signaled the players to start desperate counterattack.Seeing this situation, Mikhailovich began to command the team to retreat in an all-round way, trying to keep the lead until the end of the game, but their united efforts at the last moment still suffered a fatal blow.

No. In the 90th minute, Rajajic broke through on the right after receiving Baselli's transfer from the center. The pass from the penalty area line just hit the arm of Parolo who was defending. The referee decisively whistled The penalty kick caused strong dissatisfaction among Lazio players and coaches.Seeing that the game has entered the countdown and was sentenced to the death penalty, this will naturally make the leading side feel unacceptable. The referee Giacomelli also did not show a yellow card for the face of this point, otherwise it will really make it difficult. The Blue Eagles lost and lost again.

Belotti, Torino's top scorer, was standing in front of 12 yards for the fourth time this season. He tricked Marchetti, who was diving to the left, and calmly kicked the ball into the center of the goal. 2-2, when there were two minutes and 47 seconds left in the game including injury time, the two sides fought to a 2-2 tie.

Afterwards, the home team, which still did not give up on all three points, continued to attack. Except for Baselli, Kastan and Joe Hart, the other eight players overwhelmed the opponent's half-court in an attempt to gain another goal. ball.It's a pity that the Lazio players who were snarled by Miha's meal completely concentrated all their energy and came back to defend, but finally failed to make the Turin people get what they wanted. After the final whistle sounded, the home team played again after 35 years. The dream of returning to the top of the Serie A standings was temporarily ruthlessly shattered... But while everyone lamented that fate and the critical moment made a big joke, the media and other people in the circle who are not Turin supporters have drawn a conclusion in their hearts : This team has really become a little scary. This is the fifth time they have scored in the final moments of the game or even in stoppage time this season.In the first round against Milan, he scored a goal in stoppage time and created a penalty kick that could not be scored; in this round of victory over Bologna, he scored two goals after No.80 minutes; in the fourth round, he scored in the first minute of stoppage time The lore was Empoli; the fifth round was better. The goal that won Pescara was scored in No. 1 minutes. These statistics all prove that the current red bulls already have extremely tenacious willpower. This has always been one of the most basic elements and foundations of whether a team can be promoted to a strong team or even a wealthy family. It really surprised people who are familiar with the previous appearance of this team. It is indeed a bit capable to have such a big impact on Turin within a month!Unknowingly, Li Moody's status in the eyes of professionals has improved again.

The technical statistics after the game also proved that the performances of the two sides are very close. The home team has an advantage in the number of shots, pass success rate and ball possession rate, while the visiting team is in the number of shots on goal, header success rate and steal success rate. In the lead, the result of a draw seems very reasonable, but the coaches of both sides have different opinions. At the press conference held 15 minutes later, the reporter also tried to start with the relationship between the two people and the content of the game, trying to dig out breaking news.Because Lazio has to catch a flight back to Rome, today's order is first guest first, Miha accepts an interview for about half an hour first, and Li Mudi is not interested in hearing the other party's "filthy language" at all, so he is in the locker room Comforted the players who were a little depressed.

After this game, the Turin team failed to achieve the goal of counterattacking the rivals in the same city, but tied with AC Milan with 6 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses and 19 points. The rules of the league had to drop from the second place after the last round to the third place because of the relationship between the two sides.And about six hours later, after the Roma team beat Palermo 4-1 at home, which had just lost to Turin with the same score in the previous round, the Red Wolves' points also reached 19 points, and they are on track. The goal difference of 12 surpassed Torino's 11 and AC Milan's 6.With the current relationship between the three teams showing that the Red Black wins the Red Bull, and the Red Bull wins the Red Wolf, but the Red Black and the Red Wolf have not yet played against each other, they have to temporarily rank fourth.

The boys in Turin were very frustrated about missing this good opportunity to climb to the top. After all, the old woman made too few mistakes. They completed the undefeated season of Zhen Gu Shuo Jin at that time.The number of games lost in the next four seasons is 5, 2, 3, and 5 respectively. Even according to the worst results, there are only three losses left. This year's start is already their last six seasons It's the one with the highest loss rate, but it still ranks at the top of the list like this, it simply doesn't give any hope to the chasers behind.Even if the old lady has the distraction of the Champions League, but with this year's super lineup, even if the substitute is used to play, it seems that they will not lose to other teams other than Roma and Naples. What a BUG.It is precisely because of the above reasons that it is so rare to overwhelm them for the honor of being the leader. Unfortunately, the Turin team regrettably passed it by.

In fact, Li Moody couldn't accept this result at first, especially when Murgia scored the overtake goal, he regretted in his heart that he didn't completely change his tactics to defensive counterattack when he was leading. More people questioned that they could only drive buses, but for the historic event of climbing to the summit, what is a few words of scolding?But then he silently reflected on it. Since when did he think that Turin is already qualified to become one of the strongest teams in Serie A?Obviously, the goal set before the start of the season is to secure the European qualifications, and then see if there is a chance to plot a place in the Champions League. With the current lineup, it is even impossible to challenge Juventus, even if Rome and Naples are stronger than the Red Bulls Out at least one grade.It seems that the recent five-game winning streak has given the team, including myself, the illusion that they are really strong enough to wrestle with the old woman, and they still have to be reminded from time to time to recognize the reality , don't be too YY!Only by being able to win without pride, lose without discouragement, and deal with setbacks with a normal heart, can a team have a real strong team background, and the head coach can be regarded as qualified to be an intercontinental level or even a world champion. Class marshal.

So the Turin coach, who had already figured it out, began to chat with everyone in the locker room, trying to relax the players who were out of balance. They discussed together what kind of hairstyle is suitable for Belotti's long face?Why does Jesse's Italian sound more like French?And the French teenager Issa Diop, who finally joined the team, makes many phone calls every day. Is he dating several girls at the same time?This series of profound questions made the atmosphere in the room gradually joyful.

Just when Jesse was talking about the embarrassment of the team boss in Madrid in his broken Italian, the staff of the club knocked on the door of the locker room of the home team, signaling that Moody Li should go to the media room. Five minutes later, under the illumination of a flash of light, the Turin coach sat on the stage and welcomed the difficulties of the reporters this time.

"Excuse me, Coach Li, how do you feel about the team's missed opportunity to top the standings?" Unsurprisingly, this question has become the most concerned content of everyone.Li Modi, who had already prepared the draft, casually picked up the microphone on the table, and finished his answer in two simple sentences: "I don't have any thoughts. There is an old saying in China, 'The first to win is the paper, and the last to win is the one who wins." money', so I'm only interested in the league standings at the end of May next year."

"But don't you think this opportunity is too rare for the Turin team that has not been able to stand at the top for 35 years? If you miss today, no one knows how many years the club and fans will have to wait to meet again. With this kind of opportunity, don't you worry about the mentality of the players, or the disappointment of the fans?"

"We Red Bulls play official games, we only care about winning and the final results, we don't care about this and that like others, and the supporters who live and die with the club are naturally the same, so no one will care too much about the middle of the season Who ranks first after a certain round of competition. As for the mentality of the players and fans, we have won six of the nine games, and we can get 2.11 points and 2.44 goals per game. Are you disappointed by the report card? I think except for people with ulterior motives and underdeveloped brains, no one should think that we have let them down!" Li Moody's ability to taunt when he is upset is still at the master level.

"Then how does Coach Li feel about failing to defeat Lazio led by Mikhailovich at home?"

"I still don't feel much. The Lazio players played an excellent game. I congratulate them for taking a valuable point from us. I am looking forward to the second round of the duel between the two sides." The answer of the Turin coach is still so concise.

However, the reporter is naturally unwilling to get any "big news": "Mr. Mikhailovich believed in the interview just now that his team failed because several important main players were absent. Taking all three points, what does Coach Li think of this view?"

"Everyone has the right to express their opinions, so he said, I will close my eyes and not look, the next one!"
The Turin coach's attitude of "non-violent non-cooperation" at the press conference seems to have become more and more obvious.
