Chapter 210 Battle against Milan ([-])

The first round and the fifth round of the Coppa Italia will start in the middle of the second and third weeks of January. In the first four games completed this week, all the seeded teams have successfully advanced to the next round .Roma defeated Sampdoria with all substitutes 4-0, Naples with a half-rotation lineup defeated Spezia Calcio in Serie B 3-1, and the Old Lady 3-2 with all substitutes 90 Surprisingly defeated Atlanta, who wanted to do something, only Fiorentina encountered a lot of trouble. In a red and yellow card battle, they relied on Zi Beibei's No. [-]-minute penalty to beat Chievo.

The remaining four round-of-eight matches will be held on the 18th and 19th, one of which is AC Milan's home game against Turin, that is to say, after the league on the 16th, the two sides will play against each other in three days. Afterwards, the San Siro began a second battle in a row.So after the No.19 league round, Li Moody and Montella will definitely put most of their energy into studying each other's tactics, and no matter which matchup it is, they will strive to win.

However, before the start of this round of the league, Li Moody still got a surprise. The Turin club has reached an agreement with Palermo. The former will spend 400 million euros to buy the 23-year-old central defender Goldani from the latter. Plus, but the player will be loaned back to Palermo for the remaining half of the season, and will not report to his new club until after the last round of the league.In this transaction, in addition to paying cash, the Red Bulls also transferred the Greek midfielder Tazitesdis, who was loaned to Cagliari this season, to the Eagles.

Last summer, Li Mudi, who was looking for a good central defender all over the world, once inquired about Goldaniga, but Palermo chairman Zamparini, who wanted to take advantage of the Turin team's eagerness to make a fortune, turned out A very exaggerated price was quoted, which completely angered the Turin coach, and the deal was cancelled.However, the current situation is completely reversed. The Eagles currently rank third from the bottom of the standings with 2 wins, 4 draws and 13 losses. , it seems that the probability of relegation has reached more than [-]%.And once they fail to relegation, the core players and potential young players in the current lineup will inevitably be divided up by other teams, and they will all have to be sold at the price of cabbage.Therefore, when the central defender position does not lack immediate combat power, Zamparini has the idea of ​​​​selling Goldaniga in advance in order to get more transfer fees.

Facts have proved that his small abacus is indeed very loud. In reality, Goldaniga was poached by Sassuolo for a fee of 2017 million euros in the summer of 400, but now Palermo has got more towers. Zitesdis, the Greeks have an instant worth of 250 million, and they have indeed earned it.

Apart from Goldaniga, who has a potential value of 165, Li Mudi is still paying attention to the introduction of several other young talents, but the process is not very smooth.Even without the help of scouting tools, established clubs with decades or even hundreds of years of history are very good at judging the development potential of young players.

For example, the German striker Timo Werner (Timo Werner), who is very optimistic about the Turin coach, was born in March 1996. He was born in the Stuttgart youth training. As a result, he scored nine goals and had four assists in the first sixteen rounds of the Bundesliga, helping RB Leipzig, who entered the top league for the first time, beat Dortmund and ranked second in the Bundesliga.It can be said that the whole of Europe is paying attention to this rising star. Li Moody naturally wants to see if he can catch a leak before everyone takes action. Unfortunately, Valentino Cairo's inquiry was rejected. He directly refused, and the evaluation of the purchase fee made by the FM system reached an astonishing 3 million. This made Li Mudi, who was still laying waste to save money, completely confused, so he had no choice but to give up this name. super center.

Fortunately, there are still a few names on the Turin coach's list of "demon boys" that have not been rejected by their clubs. If they can use the remaining transfer funds to successfully poach some young players with great potential, then the youth of the Red Bulls The team will usher in a golden period, which will be a great thing for the healthy development of the entire club.

After putting the main targets on potential new stars, Li Moody has no money to introduce other star players who can bring immediate combat power to the team, so the last remaining registration spot in the lineup is finally determined to be Russ Dee yara.He asked Pantalio Longo and Valentino Cairo to contact the French midfielder in private first. If the other party is very interested in joining the Turin team, he can persuade him to terminate the contract with Marseille as soon as possible, although The signing of free agents by the Italian Football Association is not limited to the transfer window, but the registration work to be able to play in the league will end at 1:31 on January 24. Once missed, the player will not be able to play in the next league up.

The news that came back from France a day later showed that Lars was very excited about having the opportunity to challenge the Italian football environment at the end of his career, and he also needed a stable job to ease the current economic pressure. The Ling Club can provide him with a reasonable annual salary and stable playing time. The veteran will be very happy to be a part of the Red Bulls.

On January 1, before the kick-off of Crotone's home game against Bologna in the first round of the league, the news of Lars' termination of contract with Marseille Club appeared in some media reports, but it did not arouse anyone's attention. focus on.After all, in the eyes of the outside world, Makelele II is old and may no longer be able to gain a foothold in the top European leagues. A local sports newspaper in Marseille also claimed that many Chinese teams are interested in the former No. 14 of Real Madrid. It seems that his next stop will be the distant and mysterious ancient oriental country.

But no one noticed that Lars Diarra had secretly flown to Turin with his family. On the morning of the 15th, the former French international signed his name on the new contract.The basic annual salary of this contract is 200 million euros before tax, which is basically the same as when he was in Marseille. The period is until the end of the next season, that is, June 2018, 6. If you play in all the above official games, the contract will be automatically extended for one year.

When the third signing of the Red Bulls was announced on the official website, the media in Italy and France generally believed that this was another bad signing, and it couldn't be said that it was worse than signing Cerci.Lars has not been able to get more than 10 minutes of playing time in official games for more than three months. Now he has serious problems in physical fitness, game feeling and mentality. The team will have a lot of quarrels with the head coach and even the club chairman. It is difficult for anyone to believe that a prick can do anything useful when he is old.

"Corriere dello Sport", which has always been on the opposite side of the Turin coach, even asserted that the joining of Cerci and Las Diarra will not only fail to enhance the strength of the Turin team, but will become a time bomb in the team. It will explode, turning the red bull into a dead bull, and the Chinese will suffer a disastrous failure because of their strong support for these two signings, and even end their coaching career in European football.

However, most of the media and fans are not in the mood to discuss whether the performance of the Turin team will decline. Their attention has been completely attracted by the upcoming game.The duel between Turin and Milan is the last kick-off game in this round of Serie A, and the remaining nine games have already had their own results.The biggest upset came at the Frankie Stadium, where Fiorentina beat leaders Juventus 2-1 with a full-time advantage, helping the chasers behind the latter narrow the gap in points.In other games, except for Lazio who reversed Atlanta in a strong dialogue, the rest of the top-ranked teams have won. This is not good news for the Red Bulls who want to compete for the top five. If they can't win the Rossoneri, then they will show a tendency to fall behind.

Before the start of the pre-match press conference, the starting rosters of the two teams have been released. Compared with the first contest at the end of August last year, both sides have seen a lot of changes.

For the visiting team, Davide Calabria, who was born at the end of 96, replaced Antonelli in the left back position, while the French winger Niang completely lost Montella's trust and was pushed to the left. Turning to the transfer market, Bonaventura made a guest appearance on the left side of the front field.Compared with the San Siro battle in the first round of the league, the changes in AC Milan's midfield are subversive. All three players have changed.

In Turin, Li Moody replaced Castan with Ranocchia and formed a central defender partner with Rossettini. The left forward started with Jesse. 7's professionalism will seriously affect their career.In addition, the Ghanaian midfielder Akuwa was transferred by the national team to play in the Africa Cup of Nations. The vacancy left by him will be filled by the old captain Vivis. Lars Diarra will be a substitute on the second day after joining the team. at the table.The rest of the players are still the main players, Joe Hart, Zampacosta, Barreca, Baselli, Benassi, Falk and Belotti.

As the referee blew the whistle to start the game, AC Milan, wearing a white away jersey, kicked off first. Their first offensive organization was very patient. Bonaventure, who appeared on the left winger position today With his help, the visiting team has an advantage in possession of the ball in the midfield, trying to use the ball to tear apart the home team's defense line with newcomers.Turin, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation and played a defensive counterattack that they are good at. Jesse's speed ability is a level higher than that of Rajajic, so he is more threatening in terms of impact.

And the boys of the Turin team did not disappoint their supporters. Although the ball has been at the feet of the AC Milan players, the defensive formation of the home team has stood very firmly without any mistakes. The counterattack almost scored a goal.

In the 4th minute, Zampacosta intercepted Bertolaci's through pass and passed it to Benassi who retreated to respond. The latter took two steps and then kicked the ball towards the visiting team's half with a big kick.Due to the power of the ball, Hong Beibei, who was at the front, failed to control the first landing point, and could only pursue it with Paletta, who was in charge of marking him.When the ball headed towards the penalty area at a relatively fast speed, Milan's young goalkeeper Donnarumma chose to make a clearance, but his judgment made a fatal error. When he jumped high on the penalty area line to prepare for a single When he punches the ball out of the sideline, he finds that his body has gone out of the penalty area. At this time, once he touches the ball, he will violate the law, and if he fails, he will be sent off with a red card.So the goalkeeper of the visiting team had to change his action temporarily and missed the ball, which also made an empty goal behind him.Fortunately, the position after the football fell was closer to Paletta, who made a kick to clear the ball before Belotti kicked the goal.

The home team only had three people involved in this counterattack, and even passed the ball with two feet, but the threat it caused was astonishing. Montella couldn't sit still in fright, and hurried to the sidelines, waving his right hand, shouting to remind his players Concentrate and at the same time do your best to interfere when you spot a long pass from the opponent.Afterwards, Milan still controlled the ball more, but Bonaventure was not as good as Niang in terms of personal assault ability, so their offensive on the left was still based on multi-person cooperation, facing Turin's intensive defense For a while, no good opportunities were created, so we could only try to use long shots to test the luck of both sides.

In the opening 6 minutes, Calabria, who had an assist, was intercepted by Zampacosta. During the entanglement, the ball went out of the baseline. The referee indicated that it was a corner kick.Bonaventura's curved ball was destroyed by the tall and tall Ranocchia in the front point. Calabria faced Vivis's fall on the edge of the penalty area and blocked the volley. The ball went wide. In the upper right corner of the goal, although it missed the target, it still looked very threatening.

The Turin team found an excellent opportunity to fight back after 2 minutes. It started from the interception of the ball in the backcourt. The home team formed a four-person counterattack team in just five seconds.After being opened up by the wingers on both sides, Benassi sent a precise through ball to penetrate AC Milan's defense line. Belotti took advantage of the more active offensive side to overwhelm Romagnoli who was chasing him by half a body. , The position about 15 meters in front of the goal creates an opportunity to face the opponent's goalkeeper.

However, it is very dangerous for Hong Beibei to continue to move forward with the ball. If he is not careful, he may be stuck in the position or destroy the ball by Roma from diagonally behind. Therefore, he chose to attack the goal directly from this position. .Although the force applied and the angle chosen were excellent, Donnarumma, with his quick reflexes and goal-line skills, blocked the shot with his long arms, and the hosts once again missed a good opportunity to change the score.
