Mister Legend

Chapter 188 The First Turin Derby ([-])
Later, when faced with some questions with obvious prejudices, Li Moody still had an attitude of not spending too much time, and would end in a few words, and would only say a few more words when his compatriots asked questions full of good intentions.Of course, there is a price to pay for doing so. The Italian media has included him in the "black" list, that is, the least popular interviewee for the media.For a long time in the future, they commented on the Turin coach with negative emotions, almost forming a national enemy. Not being able to get cooperation, not getting detailed reports on Li Moody, so there is resentment between the lines.Thanks to the local "Turin Sports News" still has a firm stand, this did not make the head coach of China completely become a villain in the media.

After finishing the press conference, Li Mudi just returned to the locker room and wanted to see what kind of rhetoric Allegri, who was interviewed behind him, would say through the TV broadcast signal, when he was beaten by the club staff who hurried over. Messed up the plan.What this person sent over was a Juventus starting list for this game that had just been submitted, and there were no names of Pjanic and Dybala on it. What the hell is this! ?
Although the Bosnia and Herzegovina midfielder was one of the few starting players in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, the pace of the game was not fast, and the opponent was an underdog like Dinamo Zagreb. Pjanic, who was substituted in the No.80 minute, estimated that he didn't even use [-]% of his strength. After three days of rest, he should have no physical problems at all.And Marchisio, Higuain and Mandzukic who started together in that game still won the main position today?Is there any inside story here?Observed through the FM system, Bosnia and Herzegovina are in great condition!
In addition, Argentine striker Dybala, who has fully recovered from his injury, is also in excellent physical fitness and competitive state, at least better than the Croatian center forward. Could it be that Allegri will play against the city because of the latter's header advantage? The impact of the Ling team's defense was even greater, so hastily put the energetic genius on the bench!Well, the main reason why Li Mudi was so emotional was that he had worked so hard to make arrangements before, most of which were in vain.

Juventus let Colombian winger Cuadrado, who is better at personal assaults and crosses from the side, start, and then paired with Mandzukic who is 1.9 meters tall. The weak point of poor air defense ability is going to die!The three midfielders Marchisio, Khedira and Italian international Stefano Sturaro are not good at organizing offense. Without Pjanic, it seems that the old woman wants to simplify the offense.I don't know if Allegri was really able to calculate Li Mudi's mind and target it, or it was just an accidental normal rotation. Anyway, this tactical idea just avoided the pressing tactics that the Turin coach had planned before. The latter didn't know what to say.

Juve's defense was still started by the teenager Rugani born in 94 when Bonucci was unable to play. His partner was Chiellini, the main player of the Italian national team.The two flanks were filled by Swiss international Lichtsteiner and Brazilian left-back Alex Sandro. After Alves was injured, Lichtsteiner returned to the starting lineup to make the Old Lady The defensive ability has been greatly improved. After all, the former Barcelona defender still prefers to attack. This is not good news for the home team, whose attackers are in a worrying state, because the Swiss seldom put in assists desperately. Leave space behind.As for the position of the goalkeeper, there is naturally no one other than the ageless legend-Buffon.

Faced with this situation, Li Modi had no choice but to put down all the unimportant things, gathered the players who were still doing physical therapy and relaxation exercises, and began to rearrange the layout while there were still more than ten minutes before the final step on the field. Play tactically.Since the Turin team's starting list has already been submitted, although it can be changed before the start of the game, passive adjustments will definitely greatly dampen the morale of the players, so it is rare to change the list unless it is a last resort.Moreover, the opponent's tactical idea is high-altitude bombing, and the Turin coach has no players who can play a role in this aspect to replace, or the entire lineup is flawed!
After secretly complaining in his heart, Li Mudi quickly reported the latest information to everyone, and then adjusted his thinking at the beginning of the game: mainly attacking the road guarded by Sturaro and Alex Sandro, although the former was defending The end is very hard-working and active in running, but the ability to play the ball is poor, and he can't counterattack immediately if he steals it; the latter assists frequently, and it is easy to expose the space behind him. After the supplementary defense, he sent a cross from this side, allowing Belotti to directly single out Rugani, who is still a little immature. Although the boy is 190 cm tall and has good header ability, he still lacks experience after all. Facing the league You may not be able to show your full strength when you are the best shooter.As for whether this expectation can be realized, we can only wait until the game starts to see the outcome.

Li Moody's starting lineup is: 4-3-3, goalkeeper: Joe Hart, right back Bruno Perez, center backs Castan and Rossettini, left back Barreca, three midfielders: midfielder Akuwa, central midfielders Benassi and Baselli, frontcourt: right winger Iago Falk, left winger Rajajic, center Belotti.

Less than 15 minutes after the final warm-up of the players of both sides, accompanied by the Turin team song Ancora Toro (still bulls) sung by the fans in the chorus, the players of both sides, led by the referee team of this game, led the little caddies one after another Step into the venue.After playing the theme song of Serie A, the players of the visiting team passed by the players of the home team one by one, shaking hands one by one. At this time, the two coaches outside the field also came to the middle position and hugged each other.Afterwards, captains Benassi and Buffon on the two sides began to guess the coin under the signal of the referee Rocky. After guessing correctly, the Italian goalkeeper chose the field under his feet, and the Turin team got the right to kick off first.

When it comes to Rocky, the current Serie A whistler, Li Moody has a look of helplessness. He has enforced the Turin Derby four times before, and the Red Bulls lost all of them. Last season, he lost 1-2 to the Old Lady in the league. This is the guy on duty, the derby nemesis of the Turin team.

Before the official start of the game, the commentators and guests from the Italian National Television, British Sky Sports (this game is broadcast live globally), China CCTV Sports Channel, and XiaoTV network platform are also taking the time to popularize the history of the battle between the two sides for the audience. .Before this game, the two teams in Turin had a total of 193 official matches, and the old woman had the absolute upper hand with 83 wins, 54 draws and 56 losses; among them, there were 142 matches between the two sides in the league. In the first confrontation, the Bianconeri still got the advantage of 66 wins, 41 draws and 35 losses, especially as mentioned before, before the Red Bulls won the game 2014-15 in the second round of No.30 in the 2-1 season, it had been more than 20 years They have not been able to defeat their rivals in the same city; and in the home games of the Turin team in the league, they only have 20 wins, 20 draws and 30 losses, which is behind the opponent.In short, the Turin Derby is the tragic history of the bull being trampled under the hoof of the zebra, and judging from all signs, it seems that tragedy will inevitably happen today.

With the whistle of the referee, the 194th Turin Derby officially began. The home team wearing the traditional crimson jersey attacked from the left side of the main stand to the right, while the opponent wore the same traditional black and white Striped shirt.The Turin team really obeyed the head coach's pre-match arrangement [-]%. The first tentative attack hit the right. Falk couldn't find a chance to break through under Sturaro's defense, so he had to pass the ball back up. Benassi, who responded, then continued to increase his running on the wing, waiting for the next possible vacancy.

And Juventus, as Li Moody expected, did not sloppy in the midfield when instigating the attack. Although Marchisio's ability to pass and receive the ball is good, he is a modern all-round midfielder similar to Lampard and Gerrard. , is not suitable to be a playmaker like Pirlo; Khedira is more focused on defense. On the offensive end, he can only meet his teammates through short passes and running positions. As for Sturaro, please allow Li Mudi to call him "Brother Rough", he is an enhanced version of Li Tie, his technical ability is mediocre, I don't know how he squeezed between the Italian national team and Juventus Those who enter the regular rotation lineup, this kind of player should be sold at a low price...to the Turin team, so that the coach of the Celestial Dynasty can adjust and teach them well, so as not to be complained by the fans.But I have to say that this guy's mental attributes are really strong, and he is definitely a big-time player who dares to meet some challenges.

Since the three midfielders of the Old Lady are not very good at dribbling, in order to avoid being intercepted by the Turin team due to sticking the ball, they played a quick counterattack on the spot. They passed the ball directly from the midfield to the striker. That's a lot, although the success rate is far less secure than the combination of short passes, but the victory lies in the presence of Mandzukic as a tower, coupled with Higuain's excellent off-ball running, combined with the right winger Cuadrado and the left back Alex Sandro's wing assault can still put a lot of pressure on the home team's defense.

In the 5th minute, Marchisio passed the ball from the right side of the front court. Mandzukic carried the ball with Kastan, but failed to control the ball under his feet. In the end, he hit the bottom line by himself. Two minutes later, the Croatian center switched sides to the right and forced a pass before reaching the bottom line. Unfortunately, Sturaro, who outflanked the ball in the middle, used unreasonable technical moves and missed the ball when he fell to the ground.In the 2th minute, Baselli's oblique long pass to Falke from the left side of the midfield was intercepted by Alex Sandro who was robbing ahead of time, and the ball was then passed to Khedira's feet. When facing Akuwa's marking, he unexpectedly kicked the ball with his heel and shifted the ball from his left side to his right side. Unfortunately, his technical ability is still not enough, and his strength is a bit too strong. Chance. One minute later, Juventus finally ushered in the first official goal of the game. Marchisio made a diagonal pass from the right rib. Mandzukic's header lob was weak and was easily picked up by Hart.

Just when the home team seemed to be completely suppressed, they took advantage of the opponent's negligence and hit a quick counterattack. Joe Hart directly found the open space of the visiting team's defense with a big kick. Rugani prevented the opponent from taking off to compete for the top. After the ball bounced past the bodies of the two people, the Turin striker immediately turned around flexibly around the opponent, and then prepared to push the ground hard to chase the ball. If it arrives, it may form a single-handed ball.Because judging from the comparison of these two players, no matter in terms of top speed or acceleration ability, Hong Beibei is better.

Just when people thought that the home team was about to get a golden opportunity, the two had physical contact. Belotti, who was 9 centimeters shorter and 9 kilograms lighter, was pulled to the ground by the Juventus central defender behind him. After being caught up by Rugani, the header returned to Buffon who had just attacked.Losing this great opportunity to score a goal was enough to make the home team jump up and down in anger, but what is even more unbelievable is that the referee raised his hand to indicate that the game will continue as usual without even calling a foul. It completely aroused the anger of the entire Olympic Stadium. The Red Bull fans who occupied most of the seats first booed everywhere, and then all kinds of foul language began to burst out.

Fortunately, the city government of Turin is fully prepared for the Derby. All the police who have no important tasks and originally planned to take vacations are gathered in the stadium today, just to try to prevent the riots of the fans.Under the deterrence of these heavily armed policemen holding riot shields, some small discordant actions of the fans were stifled without causing any chaos.

However, the fans could only stand up and yell at the seats on the sidelines, but Li Moody could rush out of the coach's bench and face-to-face with the fourth official, only to see the Turin coach pointing at the opponent with his face flushed, and shouting in a super loud voice: "What's wrong with this? Did that guy in light green on the field lose his mind for a moment just now? Everyone in the world saw that it was a foul, and that kid was the last one on the back line Player, should be sent off with a red card, why is my player still lying on the ground, and the XX player over there is attacking? Can anyone tell me what is going on with this XX player?"

The dignity of the referee is naturally not allowed to be provoked. The fourth official who was sprayed with saliva pulled a long face and warned the Turin coach in a very stern tone: "Coach Li Mudi, you are more talented than you There are insulting words to question the judgment of our referee. I will record the passage just now in the referee report and recommend to the Football Association to punish you. Now, please go back to this page Fang's bench, otherwise I will prompt the referee to come and send you off."

"I have a bad temper! Do you still dare to compete with me here? I..." Before Li Moody could get any further, he was dragged back by Scholes who rushed over, while Samfield stood expressionlessly. Arriving at the position where the team boss was standing, he started a cold exchange with the fourth official.Of course, this communication cannot change the penalty just now, but at least it can put pressure on the referee team, showing that the Turin team will never be easily treated as a soft persimmon and rubbed by others.You know, bulls are irresistible to ordinary people when they are angry. The Spanish matadors and those victims who died under the hooves and horns of the bulls at the Running of the Bulls are most aware of this.
