Mister Legend

Chapter 177
The old coach Del Neri is a head coach who prefers to attack. This can be seen from the number of goals scored by the team after he took over Udinese. In the first seven rounds of the league, they scored only six goals in the last three. He scored seven goals in just one round, and his offensive ability has improved by more than one level.However, after coaching the team for more than 30 years, he will naturally not be single-minded and only attack. Lifts, or traditional strong teams like Roma and Juventus, he can always find the most suitable way to increase the number of goals.Ball control, speed, positioning... In short, as long as the team has any advantages, he will integrate them into his tactical system and then maximize them.Judging from the ability value given by the FM system, Del Neri has strong willpower and is good at using oppressive defensive methods. He has achieved the ultimate in core players and making full use of the width of the field (full value 20).In addition, the disciplinary requirements and youth training ability of both reached 19, and the value of judging the current ability and potential of 17 both shows that the coach is a very good youth team manager. Li Moody thinks that if he can be recruited to the Torino That's good, within five years, the first team will have more than one-third of the youth training players available.

Of course, he is already 66 years old, but he still hasn't shown the slightest intention of retreating behind the scenes. The Turin coach is destined to be here only to masturbate.However, this also proves that the opponent's strength cannot be underestimated. If they are not prepared, they may capsize in the gutter.

And when it comes to Udinese's core players, they have to mention their French striker Cyril Théréau, a 33-year-old veteran who has wandered in many teams early in his career (even better than Li Mudi. Eight months old!) After landing in Serie A in the summer of 2009, he quickly gained a foothold in the Verona team and has always been the absolute main force of the team's striker.Last season, in order to find a successor for the old team totem Di Natale, the Black and White Legion paid a transfer fee of 200 million euros. Luo joined the team, and the latter also rewarded the club's new boss with two consecutive seasons of scoring in double figures, although only 21 goals were added up.This player is a typical all-round player with no characteristics. It seems that he can do any job, but he can't do anything when he meets a first-class defensive player. However, in Udinese, he has to fight for relegation every year. It is more than enough for the team to be a core.

The talent of this team is indeed limited. Judging from the information obtained through scouting tools before, the players with the highest potential value in the team are the famous monster goalkeeper Alex Meret (Alex Meret) born in 97 and another A goalkeeper Simone Scuffet born in 96, these two are young talents that Li Moody covets very much, but without a lot of euros to open the way, I believe it is absolutely impossible to win from this most famous Italian club. Take them home from the shelves in dark stores.The Pozzo family, which uses selling potential new stars as the team's management method, once had a famous saying: "Everyone in the team can be sold except Di Natale!" Looking at it this way, they ignored the ball in the summer not long ago. Due to the difficult relegation situation of the team, the two most valuable players in the team, Polish midfielder Piotr Zielinski and Uruguayan striker Nicolás López, were sold to Naples for 1500 million and 940 million euros respectively. As well as the Brazil international team, there is nothing to be puzzled about.The team's biggest loss is that Di Natale, the team soul who has played for it for 12 years, chose to retire. This is a great loss on the spiritual level for a team that has no sense of belonging.

In terms of signings, Udinese did not invest much, but although the players they bought were not well-known, they were still not inferior to the original players in the team. Even if no one had the potential to become the core, but for the The thickness of the team in various positions has been greatly strengthened.

Before the official start of this game, this round of the league has completed seven matchups. In the most interesting strong dialogue, the old woman defeated Naples 2-1 at home and continued to advance all the way in the standings. Juechen. AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina have also defeated their respective opponents and are advancing gradually and steadily.On the other hand, Roma was forced to 0-0 by the big team Empoli in the away game, and was widened by Juventus.Another traditional giant that failed to take all three points was Inter Milan, which had a new coach. Pioli's first show only resulted in a draw. Sampdoria showed an amazing momentum at home. than 1 reward.In the end, Crotone, the deputy squad leader of the league, finally ushered in the first victory of the new season. They won Chievo 1-2 at home and finally improved their ranking by one.Of course, there was another match between old enemies that attracted national attention. Gasperini led Atalanta, which has been in super brave form recently, to beat his old club Genoa with three goals at home, and let out a mouthful of anger in his heart. At the same time, it also proved that his summer choice and Li Modi's vision were not wrong.

However, the Turin coach, who has been secretly called the "Oriental Prophet" by some people, failed to seize the opportunity to prove that he and the team have stepped out of the vicious circle of not being able to win at this stage. The score was 10-2 on the big screens at the Stadio Friuli.While the visiting team ushered in a three-game tie, the ranking also dropped further. It dropped from No.2, which almost made history eight days ago, to fourth. Atalanta at .2 is only two points away from them, and their European qualifications are already in jeopardy.

Turin enjoyed 58.5% of the ball possession time in the game, and was completely beaten by the old fox Del Neri with Li Moody's good tactics. The home team was ahead of the visiting team in the number of shots and the number of shots on target. The counterattack tactics are like a replica of the previous Torino team when they faced a strong team, which made the players of the visiting team very depressed.

Although Benassi's ingenious through pass No. 15 minutes after the opening gave Belotti an excellent single-handed opportunity, the latter volleyed into the penalty area and scored for the visiting team to take the lead.However, Udinese did not give up the plan to score points or even win. In the No.60 and 10 minutes of the second half, they relied on Taylor's header in front of the small penalty area in the middle and the Colombian striker who was loaned from Naples Zapata (Duván Zapata) made a rebound from his teammate on the goal post and put it into the net to complete the lead in the score. No. 707 minutes, Rajajic received a cross from Zampacosta on the right side of the penalty area and then cut in with his left foot to shoot. The ball went into the lower left corner of the goal at a very tricky angle, and Turin tenaciously equalized the score.

Since then, neither side has been able to create any good opportunities and can only shake hands and make peace.And Li Moody painfully accepted the team's third consecutive 2-2 score, and also got the bad news that Brazilian wingback Bruno Perez suspected of straining his thigh muscle. , is really unlucky.

Fortunately, in the next two days, he and the players got several good news successively, which turned some of the bad mood around. On the morning of the 3rd, the team medical director, Greco, reported to the team coach that Perez's injury was milder than expected, and he will recover in about a week. Ri is already injured, and Zampacosta alone may not be able to last long.Two days later, the Italian Football Association announced the latest national team roster on its official website. In addition to the selection of all the main players before, Marchisio, who was seriously injured in the European Cup, also returned from injury. What deserves the attention of the outside world is that the Turin club finally has the No.2 active international player.Zampacosta, who has performed well recently, entered the national team's 28-man roster for the first time. He will go to Milan with his teammate Belotti for training in three days and prepare for the World Cup qualifier away to Liechtenstein on the evening of the 12th.After the young man learned about this, he couldn't help roaring, and then hugged Li Mudi who was standing on the sidelines of the training field smiling, and kept expressing his gratitude. After all, the reason why he was able to get the national team call-up It seems that the club's excellent performance and his outstanding performance are inseparable from the credit of the club's coach.So the FM system in Li Mudi's mind reminded him that he had gained another player with a respect value of 50, which could be regarded as a surprise.

Time soon came to the weekend of this week. The Turin team will make their first appearance in this round of Serie A. The opponent is Cagliari, who just returned to Serie A as the champion of Serie B last season. .As the only Sardinian team that has the strength to squeeze into Serie A in the last 20 years, Cagliari's reputation in European football is not popular, but in the 1969-60 season, they still played under the superstar Luigi Riva (Luigi Riva). Riva won the only top league championship in team history, which is one of the most important honors for Italy's second largest island with a population of only about 170 million.

In the 2014-15 season, Cagliari only ranked third from the bottom of Serie A and was relegated to Serie B. However, there, they did not give up on themselves like other teams, but remained in the same position after a major change in the lineup. High fighting spirit, 42 wins, 25 draws, 8 losses and 9 points in 83 league rounds, beat Crotone to win the Serie B championship by 1 point, and returned to Serie A after a year.The biggest contributor to the team is the head coach hired last summer, Massimo Rastelli (Massimo Rastelli). Although the 47-year-old former professional player has been playing in the low-level leagues while playing, but after retiring But he showed his good side in the position of coach.This person is extremely good at training the team's offensive tactics. The reason why Cagliari was able to return to Serie A is entirely due to its strong offensive ability.Last season, four players in their team scored in double figures, namely Joao Pedro (38 goals in 13 games), Diego Farias (34 goals in 14 games), Marco Sau ( 28 games with 10 goals) and Nicolo Giannetti (29 games with 10 goals), the final total number of goals was also fixed at 78 goals, 9 goals higher than Pescara, who scored the second most goals.

In this season, although Cagliari faced more powerful opponents, they still scored [-] goals in [-] games, and the number of goals ranked sixth among all [-] teams , more than the Milan duo and Florence.Except for the away loss to Juventus, goals were scored in the rest of the games regardless of the outcome. Even Viola, who had the second-lowest number of goals conceded, could score three goals in a single game. Too reliable defense is definitely not a small test.

Moreover, in the previous transfer market, they did not lose any of their main players. Instead, they strengthened the already unstable defense line and signed the Portuguese international defender Bruno Alves for free. The 35-year-old veteran performed well in the just-concluded European Cup and made great contributions to the team's final victory.In addition, they also introduced Chilean international Mauricio Isla and local veteran Simone Padoin from the well-connected Juventus, and added veteran Borriello on the front line. , the overall ability must not be underestimated.Li Moody thinks this is a more formidable opponent than Udinese. If they can't play [-]% of their strength, it may be difficult to break the record of consecutive victories. Even if they lose at home, it is not impossible.

But the reality once again proved how outrageous the prediction ability of the Turin coach at this stage is. The home team took the lead after only 2 minutes. Baselli, stimulated by Zampacosta's selection into the national team, sent a wonderful pass. He 20 The pass from Mi Kai crossed the entire defense line of Cagliari. Belotti broke into the penalty area like a small tank and carried the defender's right foot to attack the goal. The ball was 39 years old. Marco Storari) blocked it, but Hong Beibei immediately followed up and shot again with his left foot. Storari's desperate struggle could not stop the heavy artillery.The No. 12 goal of Turin's top striker this season came so quickly, which most people could not have expected before the game.

Eight minutes later, Belotti, who has been in great form since the start of the season, passed Isla in the counterattack and then sent a diagonal pass that tore through the opponent's defense. Pull the ball horizontally, and shoot long-range with his right foot from a position about one meter outside the penalty area. into the net. 8 to 2, the game went so smoothly, which made Li Moody on the sidelines very happy.
