Chapter 333 Bad Performance
There is another reason for the introduction of Gourcuff that can attract Li Moody, who has a "miser character", that is, his salary requirements are very low.Currently in Rennes, the midfielder who was highly sought after by football back then can only get an annual salary of about 95. This figure can only be regarded as relatively cheap in Ligue [-] where players are generally not paid well. Get to the average bar.But you have to know that he used to be a French international and played the core for a period of time. His previous performance in Bordeaux was also the top in the country, and now he has really fallen to a certain extent.

Another point is worthy of attention. Gourcuff's contract will expire on June 6 next year. Due to the current situation of the father and son at the Rennes club, they will definitely not be able to stay.Migliaccio believes that he has a lot of confidence that he can persuade the Ligue 30 team, which is about to change its chairman, to agree to a peaceful termination of the contract with the players before the end of this year, and then he will be able to join the new club as a free agent. It's not a small bargain to spend one cent of the transfer fee.

After thinking about it, the Turin coach said that he was indeed a little tempted, but this matter still needs to be studied and studied with the club's marketing department and senior management before a final decision can be made.However, he also reassured Migliacio that no matter what the result is, the Turin team will notify him as soon as possible to facilitate the next operation of the agent. After all, if he cannot join the Red Bulls, he has to contact another Time cannot be said to be urgent, but it will not be too easy to find a suitable team in the short term.

After that, the three people changed the topic to things other than football. The two team coaches complained that they did not have much private time to rest, and expressed their envy for Migliacio's semi-retired state. .The French agent responded with a smile: "At that time, you will know what it's like to be idle for a day, but I hope you two can adapt to the change of identity from being the center of attention to being ignored, and don't have any feelings. The problem of imbalance."

After ordering some takeaways for a quick bite at noon, the two guests headed to the airport to return to Spain.Li Mudi came to the club's training ground and began to conduct relatively relaxed training with a mixed team of the first team and the youth team.In the evening, he also went to the hospital with Valentino Cairo, visited Belotti who was still in the hospital for observation, and asked about the latest developments of the injury by the way.

There is no change in the attending doctor, because the players themselves do not want to leave the game for too long and choose conservative treatment, so the treatment plan without surgery is relatively easy to control. As long as the injury is recuperated step by step, it will be officially back in about four weeks.But on the contrary, when they came to the ward to see the wounded, someone actually expressed their dissatisfaction, which was somewhat beyond the expectations of the two visitors.

But the object of dissatisfaction is not the Turin Club, and the person who is speaking is not Hong Beibei himself.As mentioned before, it has been rumored that Belotti's then girlfriend and current wife, Giorgio Duro, will replace the original Sergio Lanci in person and accept the business of Turin No. 9.This rumor finally became a reality 7 days after the two of them got married. On July 25, major Italian media websites posted news that Belotti fired his agent and would let his new wife Represent yourself in negotiations on a variety of matters with the help of a professional accountant.

Then needless to say, the person who expressed dissatisfaction on this inappropriate occasion this time is naturally this "non-professional broker" who makes everyone feel headache.The cause of the matter is also very simple. This afternoon, Italian Football Federation President Tavecchio said in an interview with ANSA (equivalent to China's Xinhua News Agency) that he was not too worried about Belotti's injury.

"I don't think Belotti's absence from injury will have a big impact on our play-offs, we need optimism and no need to cry. I'm sure a great guy like Belotti will recover quickly, but without him , our team is still very strong. If nothing unexpected happens, Italy is still the better side against Macedonia and Albania, good luck to the lads!"

This was originally to cheer up the team, but for some reason, it became in Douro's ears that the chairman of the Football Association didn't value his husband and thought he was a dispensable role. A woman who has not been in business for a long time and still wants to manage her "clients" to become the world's top superstars.In front of the team's head coach and the head of the club's marketing department, she scolded the boss of the Football Association severely, not caring about the negative consequences it would bring to other men if this word got out.

Fortunately, Belotti still knew how to measure. After his wife vented for a while, she diverted the topic with other things, and didn't let outsiders continue to watch the joke.However, Georgia Duro's communication skills are still good, but her ambition is not small. After a few words, she began to hint whether the club should consider raising her husband's salary.And this is also one of the information that the prince of Turin came to inform, because when the contract was renewed at the end of last year, the club promised to increase the salary of the head star after a substantial increase in the budget, so Valentino simply proposed made a preliminary intention.

The annual salary has increased from the previous pre-tax 280 million to 350 million, but the number of liquidated damages has to be adjusted accordingly. The club believes that 1.5 million should be a more reasonable setting now.However, this proposal obviously did not satisfy Douluo. After thinking for a while, she frowned and replied that she wanted to discuss it with her family, but she couldn't give a definite answer.This was also expected by Valentino. After he and the team coach wished Belotti a speedy recovery, they left and left, leaving Hong Beibei, who was noncommittal about the contract extension, and his agent's wife. A space for personal private communication.

This contract renewal proposal was first applied by Li Mudi. Due to the previous agreement with Belotti’s former agent, Sergio Lanci, the club’s current financial situation is much better than it was then, and Cassie , Immobile and other new aids have relatively high salaries, so it is reasonable to sign a new contract with the team's top star after one year, no matter from which point of view.However, the chairman of Turin is still uneasy about the fact that the team's top card was almost poached by other giants in the first half of the year and this past summer. This time he agreed to the renewal of the contract so happily. The liquidated damages have been as high as 1 million euros before.

Just judging from the attitude of the player's new agent, the negotiation of the new contract may be very difficult. Anyway, the Turin coach will not participate in person. This problem will be left to director Pantalio Longo and the others. solve it.

After throwing this hot potato to others, Li Mudi devoted himself to the fun of training and teaching young players.In the next two or three days of training, he gave patient guidance to Marchiza and Eggstein Jr. who were transferred from the U20 team, and also arranged for them to play against the same first-team players in large numbers With the opportunity, the atmosphere in the training base is still relatively hot, and the abilities of the boys have also improved. It can be said that it is a thriving situation.

However, the World Cup qualifiers on the evening of the 6th still had a negative impact on everyone, which made almost all local players appear to be in a low mood during the next day's training.Although it was basically determined before the game that he could only get the second place in the group to fight for the play-offs, but theoretically he still held the hope of being able to counterattack, so the fans on the Apennine Peninsula were still very concerned about this round of competition that night. .

As a result, the Matadors defeated Albania, which ranked third in the group, 3-0 at home without bloodshed. They won the ticket to enter Russia and completely shattered the dream of the Italians.But what makes it hard for the fans to accept is that the performance of the Azzurri is really unbearable. Ventura led the team to be forced to 1-1 by the weak Macedonia at home, which is simply a loss of face.

Although many generals including De Rossi and Belotti were absent from the team, but at the Olympic Stadium in Turin, the value of all the players on the roster combined is about 75 times that of the opponent's Italian national team. Like a child who can't play football.They kept their opponents firmly in the half in the first [-] minutes, but the constant siege was unable to exchange for a goal, whether it was Immobile, Insigne, or Bologna winger Weir who unexpectedly started. Di, failed to really threaten the Macedonian goalkeeper Dimitlevski.

It was not until the No. 40 minute that Italy knocked on the door of the visiting team and took a difficult lead. It was the veteran central defender Chiellini who broke the deadlock for them. This has to be said to be an irony!After the home team's corner kick was cleared by the opponent's defender, Insigne from outside the penalty area succeeded in grabbing the second point. His sudden through ball pierced the Macedonian defense line that was not in a good position (coincidence!), Insigne Billy plugged in on the left side and knocked across the middle. The unmarked Juventus central defender followed up and easily pushed and scored. 1 to 0, although very dissatisfied with the team's performance, there were still not too many cheers and applause at the scene, but the support of the fans failed to exchange for corresponding returns.

The second half of the game was still a situation where the home team attacked violently, but Ventura's substitution caused a lot of controversy after the game.Under the obvious need to strengthen the offense, he actually replaced the latter's club teammate Barzagli with Rugani immediately after the intermission. The adjustment of the same position of the central defender is confusing. .Although someone broke the news later that the player felt that he had some muscle problems and made this choice in order to reduce the risk of injury, but even if he wanted to replace the central defender who had almost nothing to do in the first half, he should let a frontcourt player play to increase the offense Power!Just when the team needs to score another goal to ensure the victory, such a conservative substitution is also intoxicating.

However, after continuing to siege for 10 minutes, the Italian team was still unable to break through the opponent's goal for the second time. Instead, they were attacked twice by Macedonian players, and were even killed into the hinterland of the penalty area.At this time, Ventura seemed to react, and replaced the mediocre Verdi with Bernardeschi, but the Juventus winger who had become a "black and white babe" could not perform well. The attackers of the visiting team led by Pandev gradually found their form and launched attacks on the goal guarded by Buffon one after another.Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ventura made another stupid move. He sent Atlanta central midfielder Cristant to replace Inter Milan's Gagliardini. He neither strengthened the offense to suppress the opponent, nor Did not increase the defensive intensity to curb the visiting team's offensive.

As a result, just 2 minutes after the substitution, Macedonia seized a chance to counterattack and equalized the score. No. 707 minutes, Pandev sent an exquisite through ball, Trajkovski broke into the penalty area and volleyed from a small angle on the right. The ball passed through Buffon's fingertips and hit the net in the far corner. , The home team fans were in an uproar.

In the following games, although the unwilling Italians were still attacking vigorously, trying to overtake the score again.However, the visiting team's defense is still solid, and they did not leave any good opportunities for the opponent. Instead, they got a good chance for a lore in front of the opponent's goal at the last moment. Unfortunately, Tritovsky's header kicked The door missed the post.In the end, when the referee on duty, Thiago Martins from Portugal, blew the whistle for the end of the game, there was a huge booing in the entire Turin Olympic Stadium, and the camera of the broadcaster also kept watching the Italian coach Switching back and forth with those stars worth tens of millions seems to be expressing something.

The criticism from the media and fans after the game was naturally endless, but the players at that time kept apologizing for themselves and the coach in interviews.Barzagli criticized: "Some spectators booed today, which is disappointing, but everyone who bought tickets hoped that the game would be worth the price of the ticket. Maybe they expected more, and sometimes we could have done more." A lot, but it's always sad to end a game with boos."

The goal hero Chiellini believes that the team's state is not good, but there is still room for improvement: "When we broke the deadlock, we should control the game better. Passion to work hard. Now for us we should calm down and relax. Although we did not perform well in this game, this is the first game in our world preliminaries with a small mistake. Now we need to continue to work hard , staying fit and calm, that's the only secret of our success. To get the fans to applaud us we need to win the game, we understand their disappointment, but at this stage we need them to be with us and help us. "

However, most of the domestic celebrities focused their fire on Ventura. Giancarlo Antonioni, a member of the 1982 World Cup champion team and former national team captain, believed that the former Turin coach's change and reform in the national team was a failure. , not only completely destroyed the good foundation left by the predecessor, but also made the players' state very bad. Maybe it's time to discuss this issue.Some people even radically suggested that the Football Association change coaches immediately, and that the old guy should not be allowed to destroy the road to re-emergence that the national team had finally found. For a while, the entire Apennine Peninsula was arguing over this terrible draw , Ventura's life has become more and more difficult.
