Mister Legend

Chapter 295 The Poisonous Temptation

It's really not that Li Moody is timid, it's mainly because Raiola's reputation is too loud in European football. All the famous coaches can only dodge as much as possible, and a novice like the Turin coach really has to feel embarrassed in front of others.

Fortunately, the other party didn't mean to be embarrassing, and quickly explained the reason for the conversation: "I also just came from Liverpool. Lukaku is likely to leave Everton this summer, and I need to greet the club in advance. , otherwise it will lead to some troubles." After seemingly explaining why he appeared here at this time, Raiola once again showed his friendliness towards Li Moody, and he turned to the side Lin Yuner smiled kindly, and then praised in English: "Is this beautiful lady the lover of Coach Li? She is really an angel who descended from the world! An old man like me who has a family is so envious."

One thing to mention here is that this broker is also a language genius. In addition to his mother tongue, Italian and Dutch, he also has mastered English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese and even some African indigenous languages, which can greatly improve Players from all over the world have a good impression and trust in him. It can only be said that God made him eat this bowl of rice.

Lin Yuner's English level is not bad, after all, her country is Lao Mei's little follower, and she has been learning this universal language since she was a child, so it is not a problem to understand these few words of praise for herself.While thanking the other party for the compliment with a smile, he also took the initiative to shake his hand lightly with this Westerner who looked inconspicuous but felt very good.Then she quickly glanced at her boyfriend again, and found that the latter was still smiling with a suspicious expression on her face. After saying hello, she suggested that she should go to the bathroom first, and asked the two men to help themselves.

After once again lamenting the wisdom of this oriental goddess, Raiola also saw that the game was not far from the start, so he directly entered the topic: "I just took over the young left back Luka from the company's agent. Pellegrini's direct jurisdiction, so I still have to report in front of you, the team boss, I hope Coach Li can give this young man a lot of encouragement, help him improve as soon as possible, and become a qualified professional player."

The Turin coach really didn't know this news before, but it's not too late to know at this time. After learning that the other party is likely to communicate with him more frequently in the future, Li Modi felt a few drops of cold sweat begin to slip from the top of his scalp down.While digesting the information with a look of sympathy, he could only grin, and then responded vaguely with "OK" to deal with the other party's proposal.

However, Pellegrini, who is only 19 years old, is obviously only the opening speech of this conversation. After saying a few words of praise for the performance of the Turin team last season, Raiola quickly turned the topic to this trip. In terms of real purpose: "We can't deny that the Red Bulls were able to win the fourth place in the league. There are reasons why other teams did not value you [-]%. But after this summer, it will be completely different. You will follow behind the top three and become everyone. The thorn in the side of the team. In addition to going to the European League, so strengthening the lineup has become a task that you must complete in the next two months."

Upon hearing this, Li Modi basically understood the opponent's purpose. This is the rhythm of recommending his players to join the Turin team!As for which player or even which players it would be, the opponent announced the answer before he could think about it carefully.

"Although the current ranking of Ligue [-] in Europe is a bit low, the sudden emergence of Monaco last season should have attracted the attention of many people. Because of the existence of Mbappé, I believe that Coach Li will know more about that side. , then Mario’s performance should not be unfamiliar. I’m not boasting. A small team like Nice can finally finish third in the league, and even occupied the top position in the middle of the season. His contribution is seen by everyone. We can see. If it weren't for the impact of injuries, I think maybe the unpopularity would be even bigger."

Balotelli, as soon as the name entered the head of the Turin coach, it caused a nervous tingle.In terms of talent and physical condition, this guy is definitely one of the best in the world in the past ten years, and there are only a handful of people who can match him.But if IQ and EQ are added, it instantly turns him into a cancerous player of a team, thinking about life, lighting his own house on fire while taking a shower, throwing darts during training and hurting his teammates, and after scoring a goal. Don't want to take off the opponent's clothes because the referee showed a yellow card for taking off the jersey... These completely stupid things are enough to fill a book.If there is such a player in the team, the head coach probably won't be able to sleep.

But without waiting for him to say no, Raiola directly gave his analysis: "The offensive power of the Torino team surprised the outside world last season, but we can also see that in the face of a strong enemy At that time, only one Belotti is not enough. If you cannot build a second strong threat point, your team will not go very far. I am sure that fourth place in the league is your limit. There will not be any good performance in the middle. And Mario is the perfect screen picture of the Red Bull. He is fast, good at technique, good at ejaculation, and can get the ball on the wing when necessary. He and Belotti are the most complementary partners. , you can't miss him."

At this time, Li Mudi has to admire this fat man with a very bad reputation in the industry. His vision is really as sharp as the outside world rumors. Bring in a good striker.And his analysis of the characteristics of Bashen also hit the heart of the Turin coach. From the perspective of player ability, Balotelli does seem to be the golden partner of Hong Beibei. He can seamlessly fit double forwards and singles. The conversion of forwards, becoming an assault point and organizer in the frontcourt, is at least a grade higher than Rajajic.The most important thing is that the player's worth is not high. With the help of this big man to lower the price, he may be able to win it for a little more than 1000 million, which is much cheaper than Li Modi's favorite Immobile.

The remaining funds are enough for the team to add an excellent substitute attacker, or one or two midfield engineers. This is too attractive for a club like Turin that is used to being stingy. .Fortunately, the last rationality has been reminding Li Modi that if he covets this cheap, it is like reaching an agreement with the devil. He is used to brain-dead players, plus an extremely greedy manager. Xindong politely declined the other party's proposal.

But he couldn't get it out of his mouth, and was blocked by Raiola again: "Don't make a decision in a hurry, I think Coach Li can go back and study it after watching the finals, and the club's team The members will discuss it carefully. Although many people in the circle have been questioning my communication methods, no one will easily deny my vision and ability to judge players and teams, so I hope that both of us We can have more contacts in the future, I believe it will be beneficial to both parties.”

Having said so much, Li Mudi couldn't say anything more, so he agreed with a smile on his face.At this time, Lin Yuner also happened to return from the bathroom, the two parties parted ways after saying hello, each of them entered the arena and got ready to sit down.

When the Turin coach, who was always holding his girlfriend's hand, found a seat amid deafening cheers, the performance equipment in the venue had almost been evacuated, and the entrance ceremony of the starting players of both sides was about to begin.Judging from the list of players announced in the afternoon, both sides are sending their main players to play, and there is nothing to keep at this time.

On the side of Juventus, Allegri still used the lineup used when he eliminated Monaco in the semi-finals. There were several "misplaced" players in the 4-2-3-1 formation.The goalkeeper will naturally be Buffon, who ranks among the top five in the history of world football. In the defense, three Italian internationals Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli will be paired with Brazilian left back Sandro. Khedira and Pjanic stood in the central midfielder position.In the frontcourt, midfielder Dybala, forward Higuain, the left forward is Mandzukic who has played this position many times, and the right is occupied by Brazilian veteran Alves.

Marchisio and Cuadrado did not start, somewhat beyond the expectations of the outside world.Khedira's performance this season is really good, but a thigh injury in mid-May made him miss two league games and the Italian Cup finals, and only came back in the last round of Serie A. I don't know if he can get back his previous form state.And Alves' offense is not as good as the Colombian winger. Allegri's intention to use him in the starting lineup is probably because he was born as a full-back and can help the defense on the defensive end.

It can be seen from this list that Uncle Jiong's conservatism has been committed again. It is not wrong to pay more attention to defense in the final, but when facing a strong opponent like Real Madrid, if you can't suppress the opponent on the offensive end , No matter how strong the defensive line is, it may not be able to sustain the entire game.

On the other hand, on the side of the defending champion, Qi Zu was also very lucky to welcome back the main right back Carvajal who was injured before, and he also bravely put the Welsh national hero Bell on the bench, allowing him to play in the recent period Excellent start for Isco.

It is still the team's usual 4-3-3 position. The goalkeeper Navas, the four defenders are Carvajal, Ramos, Varane and the deputy Marcelo, and the three midfielders are the unshakable Kroos, Casemiro and Modric.The positions of the three players in the frontcourt are relatively flexible. Except for Benzema who is always at the forefront, Ronaldo and Isco are not fixed in position.The biggest advantage of this arrangement is that it allows these two attacking strong points to target the opponent's defense at any time, and adapt to the situation after finding the weak point, so that they will not be completely stared to death by Juventus' defense line.

The only situation that will arouse widespread discussion from the outside world is that Ronaldo was excluded from the squad. It seems that the superstar of the Colombian national team has entered the final countdown in the days of the Bernabeu. Complete failure, can only choose to go to a new environment to start again.

During the conversation, the players from both sides, under the leadership of the German referee Brich, entered the field one by one with hand-signed caddies.Then Ian Rush, the publicity ambassador of this UEFA Champions League final, the famous Welsh and Liverpool star, walked into the stadium holding the St. Blair Cup, the Big Ear Cup. On the shining trophy.

More than an hour before the start of the game, the roof of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium was closed, which also made tonight's matchup the first "indoor" final in the history of the Champions League, creating a special record.

Real Madrid had to wear purple away jerseys due to the draw of the visiting team, while Juventus, who could wear the traditional black and white striped jersey, crossed the halfway line with five players in one breath after kick-off , looks menacing, rather aggressive.

Just when Li Modi was about to devote all his energy to watching the game, he was tapped on the shoulder, and they turned their heads to see that it was Real Madrid star Salgado.After the latter greeted the Turin coach with a smile, he crawled into his ear and informed the positions of other former Real Madrid players.It turns out that there are quite a lot of old people present today. Apart from Raul and Guti whom Li Moody had known for a long time, Figo, Carlos, Seedorf and Karenbu were all present, but the seats were scattered Relatively open, only two or three sat together to facilitate communication with each other.

The group of old friends took a group photo with Qizu before the game and sent blessings. Raul sent a text message to his friend at that time, asking him if he could rush over to take a photo together, but Li Mudi happened to be with his girlfriend at that time. After dinner, I regret to miss this reunion of old friends.After a few chats with Salgado, they were interrupted by the shouts of fans around them, as the first goal of the game came three minutes after kick-off.

After the two sides tested each other twice, Juventus launched an effective offensive. They seized the space left by Casemiro's forward drive, and Khedira dribbled the ball from the center to the front of the penalty area and distributed it to Manchester United on the left. Zhukic.After the latter kicked back, he made a high pass with his right foot. Higuain, who was not far from the penalty spot, shook off Varane's entanglement, and shook his head to attack the goal during the retreat.Due to the distance and the position where the ball is eaten, it was not possible to exert too much pressure, which made the shot not fast and was easily confiscated by the well-prepared Real Madrid goalkeeper.

Immediately, the siege of the Juventus players received excellent results, making the opponent's offense have not been able to figure it out. The tactics of many personal breakthroughs and long passes to Benzema and Ronaldo failed to achieve any effect. Threat, the scene was gradually controlled by the Italian team.

At 3 minutes and 20 seconds, Bonucci tackled the ball cleanly in the backcourt, and Higuain retreated to catch the ball and chose to go forward. His long shot from the top of the penalty area tested Navas.The latter threw the ball and dropped it. Fortunately, no offensive player rushed over to make a supplementary shot, so he grabbed the ball with his second reaction.
