Mister Legend

Chapter 229 New Contract Reached

Although the tenacious spirit of the players is very gratifying to Li Moody, but the failure to take three points from Frankie Stadium can not prevent the team from being overtaken by competitors. The Red Bulls, which have not won two consecutive rounds, are already on the score The ranking has slipped to sixth place, and AC Milan behind them is only one point away from them. The qualification for the European competition next season can be said to be in jeopardy.

However, after the game, many media rarely complained about the Turin coach. Instead, most of the reports focused on the team's performance in the second half when they were behind by two goals. This kind of mental outlook is competitive. Sporting events have always promoted and encouraged learning, so it's no surprise that it's widely praised. "Evening Post" and "Repubblica" kindly mentioned that after Li Mudi entered the home team, he led the team to complete the lore equalizer and even the decisive victory at the last moment of the game many times. Bringing the background that only a wealthy family has has helped him to become famous.

On the Internet, some people even put the Turin coach and Real Madrid coach Qi Zu, who has repeatedly staged buzzer lore this season, together, saying that both of them are "God's favorite".However, in the ancient oriental countries, people prefer to call them the "Second Sons of Metaphysics". After this saying spread to Europe, classic books of metaphysics such as "Tao Te Ching" sparked panic buying again.

However, Li Mudi, whose reputation has improved, didn't show the slightest smile at this time. Just when he returned to the hotel with the team for about half an hour of live broadcast, and was about to take an early break, he received a phone call. An angry and helpless phone call.

Valentino Cairo, who stayed in Turin, informed him of a news that was about to spread throughout the European football circle: at the scene of the just-concluded Verde-Double game, Chelsea scouts were leaving the field He was recognized by a reporter from Sky Sports.According to the situation of the players on both sides, the only object he can investigate is Belotti, and others seem to be unable to catch the eyes of Conte and the Premier League giants.That is to say, after the German media "Sports Bild" quoted the news from the Italian media "La Stampa" on February 2 that Bayern Munich was interested in Turin's number one striker, and after it broke out two days ago that Real Madrid was also focusing on Hong Beibei, A third wealthy family appeared to join the poaching army.

In fact, in the early part of this season, suitors for the new No. 9 of the Italian national team could form a platoon, but at that time most of them were second-tier teams in Europe, and the quotations that could be given were not high.However, as Belotti proved his ability to the outside world time and time again with a steady stream of goals, and the results of the Turin team became better and better, some first-tier teams began to join the ranks of interest up.According to Li Moody's observation through the FM system, there was a time when Liverpool was on the verge of asking for a price.Fortunately, the Turin club signed a new contract with the popular fried chicken in time, and only then did those teams who wanted to poach corners be sent away.But even with a liquidated damages of [-] million euros, it still failed to prevent Arsenal from making an offer in the winter, which shows how popular Belotti is now.

However, compared to professors who are used to being stingy, local tyrants like Real Madrid, PSG and Chelsea who are not short of money are even more unstoppable. They can stun their opponents with money.For most clubs, [-] million euros is a budget of more than two seasons, but for local tyrants, it is just a number. For them, as long as they make a move, there is almost nothing that cannot be dealt with.

So Li Mudi, who was already in bed, had insomnia that night. He kept thinking about how to adjust the signing plan and tactical arrangements for the next season if he lost his number one scoring machine in the summer. Questions like whether it is guaranteed to be able to reach the upper reaches of the league.

The coach of the team who got up early the next day, had a hasty breakfast and took the opportunity to return to Turin City. After returning to the club's residence and announcing the on-the-spot gathering, he was dragged into the meeting room by the club prince who rushed over.Director Pantalio Longo, who was already seated inside, handed Li Moody a copy of the British media "Daily Mirror" published as early as possible, which gave a more detailed analysis of the reasons why Chelsea wanted to introduce Belotti.

Last summer, the Blues paid 3300 million pounds (equivalent to about 3900 million euros) to introduce Belgian national team substitute center Batshuayi (Michy Batshuayi) from Marseille. With 50 goals and 23 assists in 10 appearances, he has won the favor of many top league teams.West Ham United was once very close to signing him. According to media reports at the time, the two sides were almost short of the final signing.But no one wanted to suddenly kill a blocker. Facing the strong interception of the Premier League champions, the Hammers naturally had no resistance, and just missed their expected top scorer.But the following facts proved that maybe they were lucky enough to avoid witnessing the birth of a parallel importer.

Of course, the title of parallel imports may not be appropriate, because since joining Chelsea for eight months, Batshuayi has not started in the Premier League. His only six starts have been three times in the League Cup and two times. FA Cup and once in the U23 league.In the league, he played 16 times and played a total of 96 minutes.Yes, you read that right, after 26 rounds of the Premier League, this player only played one game, even after Diego Costa was seriously injured before, Conte only played The Belgian was firmly on the bench, leaving Fabregas to play centre-forward.The time Batshuayi has been able to play since December is: 1 minute, 1 minute, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 6 minutes, 3 minutes, 1 minute and 3 minutes. A nickname called "the sign of the start of injury time" highlights his status at Stamford Bridge.

The reporter of "Daily Mirror" predicts that the 24-year-old striker who still has the opportunity to prove himself in other teams does not seem to be staying in the Blues to continue wasting his youth, and it is very likely that he will transfer in a few months Leave the queue when the window opens.In that case, Conte will only have a Zhengyin center in the "Golden Age Beauty" whose injuries have begun to increase in the past two years. The introduction of a strong striker is the thorny problem facing Chelsea.Rejecting media speculation, there should be at least two names on the striker signings list of the Premier League leaders: Belotti and Spanish high center Fernando Llorente, who is currently playing for Swansea.And there is no doubt that the former will be their first choice. After all, no matter in terms of age or scoring ability, the Italian has an absolute advantage. The army is not the one who has no money, and they don't care about the mere tens of millions.

Because of this sudden transfer rumor, Turin No. 9 once again became the object of attention of the European football media. According to afterwards statistics, within the next week, he appeared on the covers of more than 20 paper media impurities In addition, more than 70 other media have made reports related to it, which can be said to be popular all over Europe.What makes Li Modi feel even more helpless is that there are still people who are constantly adding fuel to the fire, expanding the influence of this matter.

On Tuesday, there was a report in Gazzetta dello Sport that Italian football celebrity and former AC Milan meritorious coach Sacchi Turin striker Belotti is a role model for young people to learn from. He responded to a reporter's question: " Belotti gave young people a great encouragement. He is a role model for young people to learn from, because God will not favor such a talented person, but his integrity and passion have great value. He now has A player who has made great progress and will continue to improve is a player who can reach the top level." Sacchi, who once served as the youth program director of the Italian Football Association after 2010, has always been known for his excellent vision in world football. In the late 80s and early 90s, many superstars were discovered by him alone, so this praise of Hong Beibei is still very convincing.

And perhaps feeling the threat of poaching from those giant teams, Turin club chairman Urbano Cairo also acted to add fuel to the fire in an interview with "Turin Sports", he said that if If Belotti can continue this scoring momentum, the club will have to increase his termination fee by another [-] million euros.He also praised the top card in the team from beginning to end, saying that he is "very young, has all the conditions to continue to improve, and has excellent technology and efficiency. He can score with his header, left foot and right foot, and never Give up. He is also a very generous and team-oriented player, who often drops back to help defend..." In short, it is like fearing that others will not know the goods.But no matter how you interpret these words, they seem to be selling players, and they are short of saying "the price of [-] million yuan is too low. Whoever can buy Belotti with this money will be lucky." up.

Although he thinks he has a clear understanding of Urbano Cairo's businessman nature, Li Moody still can't accept the other party's move to promote his own star.A club may be weak, or temporarily short of funds, but if it does not have the ambition to become a strong team and become a rich family, how can it survive in the football circle where the pressure of competition is so great?To be honest, he was really disappointed at this moment. He had doubts about his choice last summer. He didn't know what else he could do to stay in such a team that only said it was beautiful, but was still able to get by. s future.But at the moment when the Turin coach was a little confused, he was notified by his agent Guinness: the negotiation of the new contract was finally coming to an end.

Since the original contract agreed by the two parties is only valid for one year, when the Turin team occupied the second place in the standings after the eighth round of the league, there was news that Li Moody might renew his contract. Before the winter break, Negotiations for a new contract have officially begun.However, due to differences on important terms, and each party wanted to wait for a more suitable time to see if they could take the initiative, they dragged on until this week.

On the one hand, although the team has just dropped out of the top five, but in terms of performance, it gives people a lot of hope, especially the tenacity shown in the away game that almost made a comeback against Fiorentina, which made almost everyone optimistic Li Moody's team was able to successfully break through in the final Europa League qualification competition, which also shook the Turin club's top management's desire to procrastinate.On the other hand, since the chairman has moved his mind to sell the number one striker, the team's future performance is somewhat worrying, and the current team coach's vision and youth training development plan have become the best countermeasures for the club. These businessmen are really shrewd to the bone.

Of course, there is an additional factor that also contributes somewhat.On the evening of the 2nd and 23rd, British time, Leicester City officially announced a news that everyone had expected: last season, the famous Italian coach Ranieri, who led the Foxes to win the club's first top league title in 132 years, was officially dismissed up!

And many British media, after reports of nostalgia, crusade, or schadenfreude, most of them listed the possible new coach candidates for the defending Premier League champions, and Li Moody's name was mentioned many times. For the second time, coach Ling has been linked with other clubs.In order not to let others poach their outstanding head coach in vain, the top management of the Turin club will still make some concessions.

However, this potential invitation has also become one of the reasons why Li Mudi finally renewed his contract with the current club. At present, there is no sign of any strong team in the five major European leagues changing their head coach in the summer, and even if it does appear The opportunity will not fall on the Turin coach. Many intercontinental level or even world-class coaches who are at home are the choices of those teams.As for other mid-range teams, there is no additional advantage compared with the current Red Bulls. Instead, it is better to work in a more familiar environment.And a team like Leicester City is not a good choice. Last season's championship has consumed everyone's passion and desire to win, and no one can replace them without a major change. Players who only think about making money are kneading together, and returning to the ordinary before winning the championship is the most ideal ending for this team that has created miracles.

Since there is no other better choice for the time being, they can only stay in Turin and continue to work hard, or wait for the next good opportunity while adding their own success honors.So after discussing with his parents and his girlfriend Lin Yuner who is far away in Asia at night, Li Moody agreed to reach a contract renewal intention with Red Bull.Since there are still some small details that need to be further improved, the official signing ceremony will not take place until after this weekend. The Turin coach is tired of endless wrangling and is finally about to be relieved.
