Mister Legend

Chapter 213 Battle against Milan ([-])
In the statistics of the whole game, except for the excellent scoring opportunity, the other statistics are dominated by the visiting team, but there is a big difference from the final result.The possession rate is 60.6% and 39.4%, the number of shots is 23 to 17, the number of shots is 9 to 8, the number of fouls is 12 to 12, and the number of yellow cards is 3 to 5. In addition, the success rate of passing and crossing is also accounted for by AC Milan. They gained an advantage, but they failed to make good use of these advantages and suffered a defeat in the away game.

Li Yonghong, the new owner of the club who watched the game from the stands, looked serious. He knew that if he could not invest a huge amount of money in a major change and upgrade of the current team, it would be difficult for the Rossoneri to rise from the league leader Old Lady. This also paved the way for AC Milan's massive signings in the summer of 2017.

At the press conference after the game, Li Moody spoke highly of the opponents in this game: "AC Milan is the symbol of Italian football. The performance in the past two or three years has not been satisfactory, but the whole team still has the background and momentum of a wealthy team. Today's game, we played a perfect first three 10 minutes, it seems that no team can win from our eyes But for me personally, I still appreciate the performance of this opponent when three goals behind. They did not give up the belief of equalizing the score or even overtaking, but actively adjusted their state and fought with us with tenacious will and quality. In the end Everyone has seen the results, they almost completed another miracle, so please allow me to express my deep respect to Coach Montella and his players here, they made me see what a strong team should have quality, and urge the Red Bulls to work harder on the road to recovery."

Next, he also commented on Belotti, who dominated the top scorer list with 6500 goals: "There is no doubt that Andrea is the best center forward in Italian football today, and he can also be ranked in the entire European continent." Into the top three or even the first, at least in my eyes. Messi and Ronaldo? They are not serious centers, although they score a lot, a lot, but they can't always be at the forefront of the team to help Teammates reduce the defensive pressure. Other teams’ attention? This is normal. Good players never lack suitors. It’s hard to say what will happen in the future, but I can tell you that during this period, at least ten top clubs want Introduce him, including Real Madrid and Barcelona. Arsenal? Yes, they made an offer a few days ago. I remember the staff notified me that it was [-] million euros, but it was rejected at that time. I am very happy that Ander Rea has renewed his contract with the club, which includes a release clause of [-] million euros, so Chairman Cairo should not sell him at a price lower than this figure. Of course, if there is a team that is really willing to pay the release clause Kim, then we have no choice."

Another issue that has attracted widespread attention is the contract between Moody Li and Turin. The team's performance far exceeds the outside forecast before the season. The coaching ability of the Chinese has been recognized by most European footballers. There are only five and a half months left until the expiration, and recently there have been news that some teams are interested in it.

Li Moody, who had been avoiding such questions before, did not want to bring unrest to the team that was concentrating on competing for the top five in the league, so he responded with a serious face: "I don't know where to start, but you media care about It’s really flattering to mention my job for next season. But I have left everything related to the contract to my agent Guinness. He has not informed me about the contract extension or other team matters recently, so your previous The reports are all false. I love Turin, and I think I can lead this team to progress, so from the bottom of my heart, I still look forward to staying here, but everything is still uncertain now. Hidden, we will notify everyone as soon as possible.”

In fact, the Turin club has been discussing the new contract with Guines, but their bid still cannot reach the psychological bottom line of the Spanish predators, so the two sides have not been able to make any progress.However, the Spaniard is not afraid that his Chinese partner will not be able to find another job. As Li Modi's popularity continues to rise in China, Guinness's office there has gradually opened up, and he has already got the job. A number of sports cooperation projects between China and the West have recently even participated in the affairs of acting as overseas managers for Chinese players.As the Tianchao League has entered the preparation stage for the new season, he has also received invitations from many domestic clubs to hire Li Modi to coach, and the asking price is not cheap. With this as a guarantee, he naturally has sufficient confidence in the negotiation.

The Turin coach is still somewhat resistant to returning to China to coach. After all, the environment is really bad. Football matches are often subject to various external interference. Going back by yourself is likely to be abolished, and you will never be able to return to the mainstream European football circle. up.But when I heard from the agent that a Tianchao team offered Mikhailovich a contract that was three times his current annual salary two days ago, he was still shocked from ear to ear. At the same time, I sighed in my heart: I am so rich, maybe one day every team can get a world-class coach, and all of them will have a B mark.

After returning to the apartment, Li Mudi had to log on to the online platform to do a live broadcast. He thought that the netizens would discuss the gains and losses of the game with him as before, and then chat about the development of football.Who knew that a large number of fans from the entertainment industry crowded into the live broadcast room, except for a small number of people insulting him "the toad wants to eat swan meat" or telling him to "get out of here and stay away from their goddess". Most people have been asking about various details of "Lin Lilian", turning this live sports live broadcast into a gossip show, making the Turin coach really dumbfounded.

After answering some less sensitive questions, Li Mudi deliberately found two real fans to interact with, and then hurriedly ended today's webcast.After washing up, lying on the bed and scrolling through SNS to get ready to rest, he couldn't help but think carefully about the current relationship with Lin Yun'er.Although it is not [-]% sure, but Li Mudi still feels that the other party has indeed become an indispensable spiritual partner in his heart, and during this period of contact, he also faintly feels that he will also be an indispensable partner in the other party's side. It's a very special existence. Is there a chance for those two people to bring their relationship closer?Before falling asleep, his mind had been analyzing the possible endings. Unfortunately, if he didn't try this kind of thing in reality, even Holmes would not be able to find the answer.

The team still did not get a vacation on the second day. Since they will go to Milan to play the cup match on the evening of the 19th, there are only two days left for Turin to adjust their state and practice tactics. A few players who started in the league in one day can easily resume sports, while others still have to strictly increase their training.After discussing with the coaching staff, the head coach decided to focus on the league. Since the Coppa Italia set up seeded teams, teams like Turin, which were outside the top eight last season, are in the league. After entering the main match, the opponents encountered in each round were very strong, and the luck of the Red Bulls was also bad enough. The two biggest giants were drawn in two consecutive rounds, and the promotion situation was too difficult.This kind of hell-level schedule, there are not many strong teams in Europe who dare to say how confident they can make it through, let alone Turin, which has just improved, so the cup match was abandoned.

As mentioned before, in some major European leagues, there are two main ways to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season. Judging by the number of European places allocated to the league by the league), the other is to win the national cup, which will directly advance to the group stage of the Europa League.Li Mudi wanted to do both things before, wanting to grasp with both hands, if there is an accident on one road, there is still a way out.But the reality told him mercilessly that with the current lineup of the Turin team, it is really impossible to take both into account. If they send the main force again on Wednesday night to fight the Rossoneri, next weekend's away game against Bologna in the league will be sure. will be greatly affected.

Although the opponent nicknamed the Priest is currently not in the ideal position in the standings, he only ranks No.23 with 15 points, but the No.19 league match with AC Milan is excluded because the latter went to Doha to play the Italian Super Cup In addition to the postponement, they have achieved 2 wins and 1 loss in the last three rounds of the league, and their state has obviously improved.Especially on the defensive end, three of the last four games have achieved zero opponents. Once Belotti and other frontcourt cores are in poor condition or even unable to play, then the Turin team is likely to return home.The Red Bulls will next face Atlanta led by Gasperini. This is also an important matchup that Li Moody has been obsessed with wanting revenge after the narrow defeat in the first round. Dialogue, no matter what, there must be no mistakes.

Therefore, under the pressure of various difficulties, the Turin coach still reluctantly chose to give up the deadly cup competition and concentrate all his energy on Serie A.And if next season really enters the European competition as expected, it may be even more troublesome for the Red Bulls whose lineup is still too thin.But that will have a great impact on the team members’ previous run-in. It’s really embarrassing to do anything. Clubs with non-traditional giants or local tyrants will encounter such troubles. It is the same mistakes as teams that have fallen sharply or even relegated in their national leagues.

In fact, the current situation of the Red Bulls is still very delicate. The degree of difficulty in the cup has just been mentioned. In the league, although it has temporarily surpassed AC Milan and returned to the No.5 position, Montella's team has fewer games. In the first round, their opponent in the make-up match is Bologna, and the probability of winning is still very high, which means that the current ranking of the Turin team is not stable.Li Mudi's decision to abandon the cup and protect the league is a bit risky, but the strength of the team is there. If they are forced to fight on two lines, the result is very likely to be nothing, so it is very wise to decisively choose a strong man and cut his wrist.

Out of the desire to lure Montella to dispatch all the main players in the middle of the week and create some physical troubles for the league after AC Milan, Li Moody did not expose the idea of ​​sending a substitute to anyone other than the coaching staff. I still set up the items step by step in the daily training, but I just added a penalty kick.And after this link is detected by some interested people, there will inevitably be rumors in some media and the Internet that the Celestial Dynasty people plan to stick to the end and win the chance of promotion through competition of luck, which also plays a role in interfering with the opponent's tactical arrangements.

On the evening of January 1th, the Turin coach led the players who entered the 18-man roster to the city of Milan by bus. The hotel they booked was located near the Su Ning Sports Training Center. During the daytime of the next day, the team will borrow Inter Milan's training ground for final warm-up and pre-match exercises.And Li Mudi and Inter Milan's current coach Pioli also had lunch together in their cafeteria. After the opponent took over the coach left by Frank De Boer, his results were beyond most people's expectations. Wins, 23 draws and 7 loss, especially in the last five games, they are one of the teams with the best performance recently.

The Nerazzurri were at home last night, and they ushered in Bologna, which had a very high appearance rate in the past few days, in the quarter-finals of Italy. As a result, the home team, which rested a large number of main players, was tied 120-2 by the opponent in 2 minutes of the game. Fortunately, they won the favor of the goddess of luck in the penalty shootout and successfully advanced to the next round with 5 to 3.The two had an hour-long exchange on the current league situation and the same opponent, AC Milan. The rumors of being optimistic about coaching the team have completely calmed down at this time.

At the press conference before the game, the Turin coach did not admit that the two sides of this game will form a new team of rivals. The relationship between him and Montella is very friendly. There are several national team players in the two teams. Teammates, the relationship is usually good, so the competitive relationship will not exceed the normal limit.As for the other party who has been obsessed with wanting to poach Belotti, Li Mudi directly stated that the [-] million liquidated damages clause is only applicable to foreign clubs. If an Italian team wants to buy Red Beibei, I am afraid Chairman Cairo will call out a Unimaginably high prices.

The atmosphere of the entire press conference was relatively harmonious. Even the Gazzetta dello Sport, which has always been willing to sing against the Chinese, did not ask any excessive questions, but when the starting lists of both sides were announced, they might regret not being there Embarrassed that guy just now.
