Mister Legend

Chapter 322 Is this the rhythm of the championship?

The Turin team still didn't make much fuss about possession of the ball, but almost every attack went straight to the opponent's vital point, which made the visiting team's players very uncomfortable.

After the re-kick-off, just when Sampdoria was about to launch a layer-by-layer offensive, Ranocchia, who suddenly robbed, completed a successful encirclement with Muses, abruptly from Ramire, who was looking for a breakthrough in the middle. Si broke the ball directly at his feet.The ball was taken by Immobile who retreated. He made a feint on the left side of the wing, tricked the Paraguayan midfielder Barreto who wanted to come up to defend, and then dribbled the ball forward at high speed and made a surprise attack. After attracting the attention of the opponent's defense, he knocked the ball to the center.

Baselli followed up and sent an exquisite through pass without stopping the ball. Belotti succeeded in countering offside, but due to the problem of speed, he could not control the ball at the best place. When he could kick, he had already come to the small penalty area Outside the left sideline, the angle is already very small.However, Hong Beibei still resolutely shot the far corner with his left foot. The ball stuck to the ground and flew past the left palm of Pugioni, who was on the ground to save, and then hit the inside of the goalpost hard and bounced close to the net. Inside. 2 to 1, just 75 seconds after the equalizer, the Red Bulls took the lead, and the fans of the home team were all excited.

Li Moody on the sidelines also hugged and celebrated with his colleagues around him, and went outside the sideline to applaud the players on the field as a compliment, and at the same time reminded them to pay attention to guarding against the opponent's sneak attack, and strive to fight again while maintaining a solid defense. Scored a goal and completely pocketed the victory.

On the other side, Giampaolo couldn't sit still anymore. He came to the sidelines and recruited Uruguayan midfielder Torreira, who seemed to have been hit by conceding two goals in a row, and gave him face-to-face tips.And Sampdoria, who kicked off for the second time within 2 minutes, changed their previous tactics and stopped attacking rashly. free time.However, Turin still strictly followed the head coach's pre-match arrangements. Before the ball entered the midfield area, only two forwards would do a brief harassment, and they would not put much effort into pressing at high positions.Only when the opponent wants to continue to pass forward, will they use the advantage in numbers to launch a resolute press.

In this way, the rhythm of the game suddenly changed from a fast-paced rush in the first 15 minutes to a tug-of-war that tested the patience of both sides. Before the referee blew the halftime whistle, no one took advantage. The score of 2 to 1 was also maintained after the first 45 minutes.

Because the team is in a good situation, the fans in the arena kept their spirits high during the intermission. They chanted slogans and sang the team song in unison with the on-site DJ, and the atmosphere was very hot.The biggest climax was actually a close-up on the big screen at the scene. The faces of two Asian women in the screen aroused warm cheers from more than 25000 home team fans at the scene. They were naturally Moody's mother and girlfriend.

The current Turin coach is an idol or even a hero in the hearts of all the fans of the team. He is deeply loved by the local ordinary people (generally speaking, the elites are Juventus fans. This situation is not consistent with the support of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Branches are very similar), even his fan club has been established two, which is exaggerated enough.And Li Mudi's family situation has been basically discovered by the media and all-powerful netizens. His parents and girlfriend are also familiar to the fans. It's a big topic.

A quarter of an hour passed in a flash. When the player played for the second time, Giampaolo took the lead in changing his tactics. He directly replaced the right back Jakopo, who played so well in the first half, with the Polish Beresineski. Sala, the intention to do something on the wing is clear.The home team has not made adjustments for the time being, and it is still based on me, looking for opportunities on the basis of a solid defense, and striving for a fatal blow.

After the game restarted, the two sides were indeed not lazy on the defensive end. Although they each had a few shots, they were not very good opportunities, except for Casey's goal of Quagliarella. Except for the cold shot into his arms, the rest of the shots all missed the target, making it impossible for people to see the goal.

Samp, who was behind in the score, was naturally not reconciled to the passage of time in vain. In the 606th minute, Giampaolo mobilized his troops again. Replaced Strinic, who was suspected of being injured in the fight just now. Five minutes later, Polish international Linetti was dispatched to replace Ramirez, who had become mediocre after completing the assist in the opening game, and was ready to launch the final attack within the remaining 630 minutes.

At this time, Li Moody also began to turn out his hole cards, and Lars Diarra came out to replace Fabas, strengthening the defensive ability of the midfielder.Then the teenager Pellegri replaced Belotti, and Boyer replaced Immobile. All three substitutions were used up in one go within 3 minutes, and the team's formation was changed to 3-5-2. .Boyer did not stand on the front line after he came on the field, but covered almost the entire frontcourt area with active running, and his vitality also created a lot of opportunities for wingbacks Silvestri and Barreca on both sides. Opportunities for front assists.

No.803 minutes, the visiting team's corner kick was ejected by Ranocchia, the Turin team immediately launched a counterattack, Baseli dodged the angle and went straight to the left.With the help of Boyer's containment from the side, Bareca, who was plugged in at high speed, rushed forward near the center, forcing the Samp players who hurriedly retreated to be very embarrassed.When he was about 15 meters away from the penalty area line, he suddenly took a left-footed arc ball and passed it obliquely to the penalty area. The ball just bypassed the Argentine veteran Silvestre and hit him in the air. On Pellegri's right leg, he rushed towards the visiting team's goal.

Faced with this sudden ejection, Samp goalkeeper Pughioni was obviously not prepared enough. Although he subconsciously made a save action by falling to the ground, he made a mistake in his judgment and the ball slipped past his armpit. 3 to 1, the Turin team completely sealed the victory, and Pellegri also scored his first goal after joining the Red Bulls. This is also his second goal in the league, still zero one The brightest star among the post-players.

The situation of falling behind by two goals finally seriously hit the confidence of the players of the visiting team. They could not recover their previous momentum in the remaining time, and they spent the game in stoppage time with their heads down.In the end, the Turin team reversed the No. 3 rival who had maintained a winning streak at their home court 1-25. At the same time, they also won the first four consecutive victories of the new season, creating the team's best record in the past [-] years.

At the same time, the results of other kick-off games have also been passed on. AC Milan won Udinese 2-1 at home with great advantage. Still failed to lead the team to the level expected by the fans and the media; the newly promoted SPAL lost to Cagliari with two goals at home, and the dark horse finally began to fade, while the latter won two consecutive victories and basically broke out of the relegation circle; What is gratifying is that Naples slaughtered the tragedy of Benevento 6-0 at home. The White Dolphins got 73% of the ball possession rate, blasted 27 shots and had 14 shots on target. The poor visiting team Slovenian goalkeeper Belek ah!

In the next two games, Chievo was forced 1-1 by Atlanta at the last moment, and Lazio reversed Genoa 3-2 in an away game. After Immobile left the team, Senegal international Keita ushered in the big Outburst, his brace saved the team and Mihajlovic.

After all ten matches in the fourth round were over, Naples, Juventus, Turin and Inter Milan still maintained their unbeaten golden statures. They and Lazio, who had 3 wins and 1 loss, formed the first group in the championship.As for Benevento, it is still hard to find a point, and the defense line that performed well in the first two games of the season has also begun to appear unstable. The chances of repeating the fate of Pescara's early relegation last season still seem relatively high. of.

On the scorer list, Dybala is the king with eight goals, followed by Icardi, Mertens and Keita who also scored five goals.The Torino team's Italian national team striker partner has three goals each, and their output is relatively stable, and because of the rotation of the head coach, they don't play as much time as the previous players, so the efficiency is still very high.

At the press conference after the Battle of Dusan, a reporter asked Li Moody about his thoughts on the championship. The latter remained calm after thinking for a while, and he responded: "Naples, Juventus and Inter Milan are indeed in the league. A strong contender for the championship, but we are not at that level at the moment. Although the team performed well at the beginning of the new season, there are many other factors, such as the strength of the opponents is not relatively strong in the league The team, Sampdoria is a good team, but today we have the help of home court advantage. So the temporary results don't mean anything. The Turin team still needs to be tested against strong teams. I hope that when the time comes Everyone is still willing to give the team the encouragement it is today."

Although the Turin coach has tried his best to prevent everyone from getting hotheaded, the major media on the second day still listed the Red Bull as a strong contender for the league championship. If you praise Li Moody and his team, no one will read the manuscript.

"Turin Sports Daily" said: "This is the best Turin team since the 1984-85 season." "News" also particularly praised Li Moody's coaching ability.

Turin chairman Urbano Cairo, who was not willing to be lonely, once again short-circuited his brain in an interview with "Italy Daily". Moved to the capital of the Celestial Dynasty" This topic gave my own views.

"Why not? Many events in European football are currently held overseas. The Italian Super Cup has been to Beijing and Qatar. As the two most popular teams in Italy at present, the Turin Derby will of course win there. Huge success, so no need to be surprised by this rumour."

"Juventus is the winner of the league championship for six consecutive times. It is a well-deserved giant in Serie A. We also have a high popularity in the Far East because of Coach Li, and the results of the two teams this season are so evenly matched. If it can be held in China A derby would be perfect. We must be open to proposals that conform to the trend of modern football. Although we need to give the necessary respect to local fans, the most important thing at the moment is to really promote Italian football. development. We need to find an appropriate opportunity to ensure that Serie A can be promoted all over the world, thereby raising the level of Serie A."

"The two Turin teams are similar in strength? Yes, that's what I think. They have world-class strikers like Higuain and Dybala, and our local international team is not bad; Buffon is an immortal football legend. , Cassie's ability and status are not inferior to him; Allegri is one of the best head coaches in Italy today, and our Li is the young version of Mourinho or even Ferguson! From the perspective of hard power, Turin There is no doubt that China will be a member of the first group, there are not too many teams that can wrestle with us, and Juventus, Naples and Inter Milan are the most powerful opponents among them."

"Win this season? It's hard to say. After all, the league is still very long, but I think the Turin team has a chance, because we have the ability to compete with any opponent in any aspect. I believe that after the end of the season, everyone will gain. Ideal ending."

In this response, the previous part about the Turin Derby going to be held in the capital is not a serious problem. Although it is very unreliable in Li Moody's view, at least it will not cause too much controversy.However, the later statement about the team's ability to compete for the championship completely undermined the team coach's strategy of "building high walls, accumulating food, and slowly becoming king", and pushed the entire Turin club to the forefront.

In just a few days, the news about the Turin team's championship has been spread on the Internet and the media. Some people think that this is their performance of self-control, and some people think that with the opening winning streak, There is still a slight chance, but obviously no one really regards this very young team as the favorite to win the championship.

However, these controversies have caused changes in the mentality of the players. In addition to the veteran players such as Cassie and Moretti, even Ranocchia, who has played for Inter Milan, has not been spared (after all, he failed to catch up with five players). During the consecutive championship period, there were not many honors on him), and the young people in their early 20s or even less than 20 years old naturally seemed too excited.Their specific performance in training was that they were too excited and lost their ability to self-regulate and control in the past. Lars Diarra was shoveled on the calf by the overactive Edra in the training match on Tuesday, and immediately I fell down.Diagnosed by the team doctor, the Frenchman will be absent for at least three weeks, and an atmosphere of uneasiness enveloped the Turin team in an instant.
