Chapter 323 The Test of Double Competition in One Week
Although there are still more personnel available in the central midfielder position, Lars Diarra's absence due to injury will not cause much impact, but it is obvious that this kind of non-combat attrition accident is still for the players. Psychology has caused extremely serious negative effects.As if this injury is a revelation or a forecast, everyone feels that the Turin club may suffer some setbacks in the next game or even off the field, and it will no longer be as smooth and smooth as before.

Li Moody is also a little uncomfortable with this kind of "superstition" that Westerners are very concerned about.It's not that he also thinks that this accident will herald something, but that the next two weeks will be a schedule of double matches a week, which will bring huge physical and state pressure to the players. Si's injury caused serious fluctuations in their psychology. How can they play well in this game?

After defeating Sampdoria at home, the Turin team only took half a day off before regrouping and preparing for the next league game.On Wednesday, the night of the 20th, they will challenge away to Udinese, which has 1 win and 3 losses since the start of the game, and their condition is not ideal; on Saturday night, the Red Bulls will return to Turin, but they will still play away , their opponent is the rival Juventus in the same city; on Thursday, 28th, the team will usher in the second round of the Europa League group stage, and face Rijeka in Croatia at home; on the following Sunday, October 10st , and will continue to sit at the Olympic Stadium in Turin against Verona.The strength of the two consecutive weeks of double matches is astonishing, but fortunately, except for the old woman, the strength of the remaining three teams is not too strong, and the lineup can be properly rotated to a certain extent, but the current state of the players is not good enough. Not too good, Li Modi's head started to hurt again.

Without the time and energy to accompany his girlfriend who finally flew to Europe, the Turin coach was in a bad mood. When the team arrived in Udinese, which is located in the Friuli-Venice Giulia area in the most northeastern part of Italy, When he was resting in the hotel, he was harassed by local fans, which made Li Mudi even more irritable.At the pre-match press conference, he rarely denounced the shameless behavior of the home team fans, believing that they lack the most basic qualities.These remarks also caused a debate between the media and fans of the two places, but more neutral people saw that Li Moody's current state is a bit bad. If the Torino team fails to continue winning today or even loses Ball, I believe there will be a lot of content to dig out in the post-match reports.

Last season, Udinese had a poor start, and coach Iachini dismissed get out of class sadly in October. At that time, the 66-year-old high-collared coach Del Neri was ordered to take over the coach of the small Zebras.As a result, the team achieved a record of 10 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses in the subsequent leagues, and finally ended the journey of the 13-2016 season with No. 17 in the standings.Although this result is not too bad, it obviously will not make the club's executives and fans very happy, but the chairman Franco Soldati still activated the renewal option in the coach's contract, and the latter's The term was extended until next summer.

In the past summer transfer window, Udinese did not make any big moves. After selling the former team's main players such as central midfielder Bruno Fernandez and midfielder Guilherme dos Santos, they also transferred from Croatia and Belgium. After the league added newcomers such as center Bajic and Dutch defender Bram Nujdinck, the overall net investment was only a little over 360 million euros, which seemed very stable in this transfer market that was clearly approaching madness, or It is better to say that they have no capital to squander.

Since there are no big names to join, their style of play is still based on the team. Although they are facing a strong opponent who has maintained a complete victory before, Del Neri still formed the usual 4-3-3 formation, and did not fear the strength of the opponent. Change the tactical style of play that you have already honed.Except for the slight physical discomfort of the Czech international Jankoto, almost all the main players have been put on the starting list.What is particularly special is that the veteran Argentine striker Maxi Lopez, who was sold to Anderlecht by the Turin team last year, chose to return to the Serie A field he is familiar with after a frustrated season and joined as a free agent. Udinese, and also became the starting center candidate when playing against the old owner today, which attracted the attention of many people.

Li Mudi chose a more conservative tactic when the team's state fluctuated, and took out a 4-3-1-2 formation with a more balanced offense and defense. The starting lineup is as follows: goalkeeper Casillas, four backs Dickman, Kanneman, Ranocchia and Barreca, three midfielders Vukocevic, Fabas and Musis, midfielder Benassi, double forwards Belotti and Immobile.In the lineup of this position, only Silvestri and Baselli, two players who were originally more capable, were given a rotation to spare for the weekend's Turin derby.However, the Turin coach still hopes that the team can seal the victory earlier today. In that case, he can use the three substitutions early in the second half to make adjustments, so that more starters can get rest time.

Today's Dacia Arena (formerly known as the Friuli Stadium) is full of seats, but among the total 25144 seats, there are as many as 4500 Turin fans who came to cheer and cheer with the team. It is a derby in the same city, and the fans of the visiting team will also be limited in number, so as to avoid the conflict between the two sides from being intensified.However, nearly one-fifth of the fans today will support the visiting team, which can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the Red Bull players, which improves their morale and their confidence in winning.

After the opening, the home team took the lead after several attempts. They used the defensive gaps on the two wings of the Turin team to form an assault many times, and sent three crosses and two inside attempts in the first 7 minutes. .However, the excellent abilities of Ranocchia and other defenders, coupled with the assistance of the three central midfielders, maintained their defensive formation impeccably, so that the Udinese players only scored two very unreliable goals. Greatly out of the range of the door frame, no gains were made.

On the contrary, the visiting team succeeded in scoring the first effective counterattack, and gave the opponent a good lesson on what is called high efficiency.In the 9th minute, Casillas intercepted the home team's cross from the right and launched a hand-throw attack. He threw the ball to the midfield circle with a big flick. Iceland international Halfredsson crosses to Benassi in front.The latter dribbled the ball obliquely from the left position all the way to the middle of the front court, and suddenly took a long shot from a position 21 or [-] meters away from the opponent's penalty area. He also bounced the ground before hitting the goalkeeper, causing the [-]-year-old young goalkeeper Schuffet to make a save and bounced farther.

Just when he was about to get up immediately to control the second landing, the vigilant Belotti had already thrown off all the defenders, reached two meters outside the small penalty area, and easily pushed the right side of the goal with the arch of his right foot. 0 Compared to 1, the Turin team scored a goal in their first attack, taking advantage of the trend and taking the lead in the score, which is surprisingly smooth.

After scoring the goal, the state of the visiting team's players began to get better and better. Not only withstood a series of onslaughts from the opponent, but also made two counterattacks with ease, creating a continuous threat to the home team's goal.However, due to Mobile's bad luck, he directly volleyed the far corner of the goal after receiving Bareca's low pass in No. 17 minutes, but was rejected by the crossbar; while No. 203 minutes, When Belotti rushed into the penalty area to resist the opponent's Brazilian central defender Danilo Lalangela and continued to rush forward, he was pulled to the ground by the latter's extremely concealed movements, but the referee whose sight was blocked did not No sign, and the VAR team outside the field did not move. Hong Beibei sat on the ground and yelled loudly twice, almost getting a yellow card warning.

However, Torino extended their lead in the opening half hour. Benassi's direct pass found Belotti on the left side of the front field. Danilo, who was stuck inside, had no choice but to move on.When Halfredsson, who was back on defense, rushed over and tried to snatch the ball, Hong Beibei hurriedly knocked the ball horizontally, trying to find Immobile who followed up in the middle, but failed to pass between the legs of the Icelandic international. The ball was bounced in front of Torino No. 9.He hurriedly accelerated and tried to cross the goal with his left foot again before the ball crossed the bottom line. The ball hit Halfredsson who was rushing towards his own goal trying to block the route again, and still touched the other The left foot rolled back towards the goal.

Because the incident happened so close to the goal line and so suddenly, Udinese goalkeeper Schuffet, who moved to the close corner to prevent the Turin striker from shooting from a small angle, did not realize in time that the ball would run away in this situation. He came by himself, and when he subconsciously sat on the ground to make an interception, the ball rolled from his crotch into the net. 0 to 2, the home team was really leaking and it was raining overnight, and the situation was already bad, and they were given an own gift. This luck is indeed a bit unlucky!
After the first half of the game, the demoralized home team players were unable to organize a good offensive, and the Turin players also did not force their strength when the first physical limit appeared under the instructions of the head coach. In this way, the halftime time was relatively flat, and the Red Bulls took a two-goal lead in the away game. This result is still very ideal, at least it reached everyone's best expectations before the game.

However, Udinese, who is eager to score points, will naturally not give up like this. Del Neri changed two people in a row before the start of the second half. Defender Angela, who was once selected for the Italian U21 national team, replaced Danilo. Halfredsson, who played a bad half-time game, was not forgiven by the head coach. Jankoto, who had suffered some minor injuries before and had not fully adjusted his condition, played and became the core of the midfield.

As soon as the Czech international came on the field, he helped the team get a golden opportunity to get back a city.Only 2 minutes after the rematch, when he was holding the ball on the left side of the penalty area close to the bottom line with his back to the middle, he suddenly made a backward kick with his left foot, and then turned around deftly to try to wipe away the ball. Fabas stuck behind him.Under the condition of insufficient preparation, the Spanish teenager rashly stretched out his arm to slightly block the opponent's torso. Yankoto immediately pretended to be hit to the point, fell to the ground and yelled something. Very painful look.Sure enough, the referee was deceived by his acting skills, not only directly sentenced to death, but also gave Fabas a yellow card.

Seeing this scene, Li Mudi just smiled helplessly and did not make any protest.Although the Czechs must be showing their acting skills there, but Fabas did make a move to block the opponent before. Even if the penalty kick is a bit controversial, the visiting team can't say anything except the young man The experience is not enough, the tuition has to be paid!
Argentine midfielder Rodrigo DePaul, No. 10 of the home team, shot straight to the middle of the goal. Cassie misjudged the direction and made a save to his right, failing to stop the ball from entering the net. 1 to 2, Udinese narrowed the score gap to one goal at the beginning of the second half, and the situation became optimistic in an instant.

Although a goal was recovered, Li Moody did not panic. He came to the sidelines to remind the players to forget about the accident just now and focus on the game. Their own strength is dominant, and as long as they play normally, they will definitely win. to three points.The Turin players were also very strong. After the re-kick-off, it seemed as if the score had not changed. They still played as they should. They overwhelmed the opponent on both offense and defense, and firmly grasped the initiative in their own hands.

No.60 minutes, Li Mudi began to adjust personnel according to the plan. Lukas Boyer came on the field to replace Belotti, who passed one pass and one shot. Two minutes later, the Croatian teenager Balic, who was on loan from the home team, also got Having given up his chance to make his debut at his new club, Benassi went off to rest and prepare for the derby four days later.

This substitution also had a very good effect. The visiting team, which had failed to create a good chance many times before, widened the point difference to two goals again in the No. 607 minute.Balic went straight in the frontcourt, and Boyer forced a kick to attack the goal from the left side of the penalty area.Naturally, the latter would not waste the pie that fell from the sky. He first used a fake shot to shake off the local left-back Pezera who came up to intercept, and then volleyed vigorously with his right foot to the far corner of the goal.Scuffett couldn't even react, and the ball slammed into the side net on his right. 1-3, the Red Bulls basically secured the victory of the game.

Then the Turin coach replaced Immobile with Pellegri, and this kind of contempt of Chiguoguo completely angered the players of the home team. They became a bit too big in the next 20 minutes, and they played consecutively. A player from the visiting team made a tough foul.Fortunately, the referee took action in time and suppressed this abnormal state of mind with three yellow cards, allowing the game to finish the last minute of the game calmly. The Red Bulls won the fifth consecutive victory without any surprises. The grueling schedule of two weeks and four games is off to a good start.
