Mister Legend

Chapter 233

However, before the weekend arrived, Turin chairman Urbano Cairo, who had just renewed his contract as the head coach of the team, was unrestrained again in an interview with the media. He first told the reporter of "Sky Sports" that , If the contract is renewed now, Belotti's termination fee should be increased to 1.5 million euros.The latter scored a hat-trick in 8 minutes against Palermo in the last round, becoming the player with the most goals in the top five European leagues, which also gave the club president a chance to show off.

After the British "Mirror" reported on Thursday that Manchester City had joined the battle for Turin striker Belotti, Cairo told the "Turin Sports Daily" that he was not sure whether the team's Red Belotti would continue. Staying in the team, the original words are: "Belotti? He still has room for improvement, will he stay in Turin? I don't know, it's too early to talk about this now." This series of speeches will again The transfer rumors that had cooled down just now became hotter, and Li Modi said that he was numb to this, and he didn't want to get involved in this bad thing anymore.

The information from the FM system shows that the Turin coach can detect that there are indeed many giants interested in Belotti. Real Madrid, Bayern, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City are all closely observing the 23-year-old. The lad, but it seems that no club has any plans to take actual action before the arrival of summer.Chairman Turin's remarks were nothing more than self-entertainment in the end, and Li Modi eagerly hoped that this farce would end soon so as not to disturb the morale of the team.

But there was another wave of unrest, and the next day Juventus general manager Marotta praised the Turin striker in public, thinking that the latter would be a strong contender for Italy's top scorer in the next few years, but he said that the old woman People already have a super attacking line and don't need to bring in this striker.

Although the current Red Bull is far from threatening the status of Juventus, the people of the Bianconeri don't mind making trouble when the opponent is in trouble.Marotta's remarks made Belotti once again appear on the covers or headlines of many paper media in the past two days, and the number of reporters gathering at the Turin training ground is increasing day by day. Li Mudi and his colleagues They had to be protected by a large number of security personnel to walk out of the gate. The atmosphere in the team was a little impetuous for a while, and the coaching staff was a little worried about the state of the players in the next game.

Lazio coach Mihajlovic said on Saturday morning that Torino would feel the "warmest welcome", which temporarily returned the media's attention to the upcoming league.Then it broke out that in the last round of the 2-0 victory over Bologna, the blue eagle captain and midfielder Biglia, who was injured halfway, was just bruised. He will only miss a few training sessions and can play next Monday. game against Turin.It was previously reported that Biglia suffered a muscle injury and is expected to be out for a few weeks, but this comeback is definitely not good news for the Turin team.

The current situation of the Blue Eagles is very good. They took advantage of a relatively favorable schedule after the winter break and the timing of mistakes made by several competitors one after another, and they climbed to the No.4 position in the standings.Moreover, the injury situation in the team has been very good recently. Except for the main goalkeeper Marchetti who has been absent for several weeks due to injury, the other players are in good condition, so Lazio is definitely within the next month. The strongest opponent the team will face.

For Mikhailovich and his team, the Red Bulls, who are ranked fifth behind them with a difference of two points, are also the most important enemy at this stage. If they can use the home court advantage to take all three points , then they can occupy a very favorable position in the competition for European qualifications, so they naturally dare not be careless.

Normally, the main event of this round of the league is scheduled to be played at noon on Monday, Italian time. It is the last kick-off Serie A match of this weekend. Before that, the remaining [-] teams will take the lead in deciding the winner. They were hooked.

Due to the UEFA Champions League match in the middle of the week, Juventus's league was scheduled for Friday night. They sat at home and ushered in the challenge of their old rival AC Milan.The match between the two most successful teams in the history of Italian football has attracted more than [-] million viewers around the world. Although the process of the game is not very exciting, the final result is definitely shocking enough to make it hard not to be impressed impression.

During the recent five consecutive championships, the old woman's record in the domestic arena is naturally very good. Even if the opponent is the Rossoneri, she has won 10 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in various official competitions. In the league before this season, he maintained a strong posture of seven consecutive victories against AC Milan.However, in the two matches between the two sides that have ended this season, it was Montella's team that had the last laugh, namely the ninth round of the league and the Italian Super Cup held in Doha at the end of last year.It can be said that although Juventus has a certain strength and home court advantage, but facing the Milanese who are likely to become their nemesis, no one dares to guarantee that the home team will definitely win, and the process of the game also verified the predictions of the outside world before the game .

The two teams currently have some disorganized lineups. The home team's Cuadrado is suspended. Chiellini was injured last weekend and was replaced by Moroccan defender Benatia. Mandzukic on the roster unexpectedly had a stomachache during the warm-up before the game. Allegri had to put Croatian winger Marco Pjaca, who was usually difficult to get a chance to play, into the roster.On the visiting team's side, the former main winger Suso was put on the bench, while Bonaventura and Locatelli were absent due to injuries.

The advantage of Juventus in the game is still very obvious. Their possession rate once approached 30%, and the shooting opportunities they created far exceeded their opponents. took the lead.But the tenacious AC Milan did not give up the belief in scoring. Before the end of the first half, they evened the score through a quick counterattack after a defensive corner kick.Deulofeu, who was loaned from Everton, dribbled the ball all the way to the hinterland of the home team at high speed, and then sent a wonderful pass. Baca stabbed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal 9 meters in front of the goal, but the slow motion afterwards showed him His right foot was suspected to be in an offside position, but the gap was only a few millimeters away, and the linesman could not make an accurate judgment.Counting this assist, after the Kaiser joined Milan during the winter break, he has already contributed 1 goal and 3 assists, and his state is surprisingly good.

The score of 1 to 1 was maintained until stoppage time, just when everyone thought that there were no more variables in the field, something happened.First, the Argentine midfielder Jose Sousa of the visiting team tackled the Ghanaian Asamoah in defense in the 3rd minute of stoppage time, and was sent off with 2 yellow cards.Immediately after the 5th minute of stoppage time, Lichtsteiner's bottom pass from the right side of the penalty area hit De Sciglio's left elbow. The on-duty referee Massa decisively whistled a penalty kick, even if AC The Milan players surrounded the referee and the bottom line referee to protest to them that they were hitters, but they failed to change the penalty.In the end, when Dybala pushed the ball into the left goal post with his left foot, the game time had reached No. 907 minutes, and the game was completely over after the players of the visiting team kicked off.

This game, which changed the final result due to a huge controversy, became the focus of the major media in the European continent early the next morning. Many people expressed their opinions on whether the penalty kick should be whistled. The results of the game are useless.

The next few league games were also played on Sunday, and strong teams such as Roma, Naples and Fiorentina all won.And in the highlight of the day, Inter Milan's home game against Atlanta, there was a big score beyond most people's expectations. The home team's offensive power exploded within 17 minutes from No. 6 in the first half. Scored five goals in a row and finally won a 7-1 victory.Icardi and midfielder Banega each completed a hat-trick. The former also caught up with Dzeko and Mertens through these three goals, ranking tied for second in the scorer list.

Before Monday's midday game, Inter Milan's instant points have reached 53 points, two points ahead of Torino and level with Lazio. If Li Moody's team cannot get at least one point after two hours, then The opponent will widen the point difference, and the pressure is not insignificant.

At the press conference before the game, the Turin coach had no intention of getting involved in a water battle with Miha, so he was very restrained when answering questions. Although it was not enough to give people a feeling of weakness, it also left a deep impression on the opponents and the media. I have a guilty conscience.As for the starting formation and technical and tactical play, Li Moody's arrangement is even more conservative. He changed the 4-3-3 position he used before, and let Akuwa and Lars Diarra be good at defense. The midfielders started at the same time, while Baselli and Benassi stood on their diagonal front and outside, and at the same time took into account the offense and defense of the center.The frontcourt is a combination of Belotti and Jesse. The four people on the back line are Silvestri, Rossettini, Ranocchia and Barreca. The strong defense is weak, so the team's head coach puts it on the bench as a surprise soldier who may strengthen the offense.

As for the home team, Mikhailovich still confidently dispatched their most handy 4-3-3 formation. The absolute main players such as Parolo, Biglia and Immobile all made their debuts, and the goalkeeper It is the Albanian Thomas Strakosha (Thomas Strakosha), who is about to celebrate his 22nd birthday. He became the last line of defense of the Blue Eagles when Marchetti was unable to play, and his performance was quite good.The previous main force was only winger Keita who was on the bench because of some discomfort in his feet, and Bosnia and Herzegovina international Lulic replaced him.

After the opening game, the home team launched a fierce onslaught. The Serbian genius Milinkovic Savic, who was supposed to play as a central midfielder, began to frequently rush behind Immobile to play the role of a midfielder. And his joining also made Lazio not suffer too much in the frontcourt, which put a lot of pressure on Turin's defense.In the 7th minute, after receiving a long pass from Biglia from the backcourt, Immobile cleverly avoided Rossettini's interception, and suddenly turned around at a position about 25 meters away from the visiting team's goal. With a low shot, the ball misses the right post slightly. Four minutes later, Anderson, the Brazilian fringe international in No. 4 jersey, suddenly cut inside 10 meters from the goal. After finding the line of attack, he took a long shot.

Although the opponent got the data of two shots, Li Mudi didn't feel dissatisfied with his players. They had already implemented the arrangement of the visiting team before the game, which was to prevent the home team from getting a chance to shoot in the penalty area.Immobile's header ability is good, and his movements are far more flexible than the average center forward. His strength is his finishing kick, but his power will be greatly reduced after staying away from the penalty area.In the opening ten minutes or so, the players of the Torino team did a good job, so that the Italian national team forward did not find an opportunity to display his own characteristics.

Then, as the visiting team's midfielders strengthened their fight, the Lazio players didn't even have many chances to shoot from the outside, but the situation on the field was shaken a lot. No. In the 18th minute, Lars brought down the Romanian left-back Radu and midfielder Biglia with consecutive vicious actions while defending in the backcourt, which made the home team worry for a while.Although the blue eagle captain who had just recovered from his injury was carried to the sidelines for treatment with a face full of pain, he returned to the field after simple treatment. Radu was not so lucky. He persisted on the field for about seven days. After 8 minutes, I still felt unable to hold on, and was finally replaced by Belgian defender Jordan Lukaku. This unexpected situation caused Lazio's smooth momentum to suffer a little stagnation.

What made the Lazio fans even more angry was that Las Diarra didn't even get a yellow card for two consecutive fouls. This made them feel incredible. Who is the home team!However, Li Moody provoked Thumbs about the referee's penalty. The action of the French midfielder was not dirty. It was just a coincidence that the opponent was injured. Although he felt very sorry for Radu's end due to injury, he did not use the result as a sentencing The penalty stand still deserves a lot of praise.

However, after a few minutes of adjustments after the substitution, the home team's offensive became fierce again, almost forming a half-court siege.Li Mudi immediately instructed the players of the visiting team to continue the previous defensive thinking, not to let the opponent's attackers enter the penalty area, and to give them a chance to cross from the side, but pay attention to the second point of the fight.The counterattack only left Hesse alone, and Belotti had to retreat more to participate in the interception, so the Torino team's style of play became particularly ugly.
