Mister Legend

Chapter 341 Regrouping
In this way, despite the unanimous pessimism of the outside world in the past two days, the Turin team collectively entered a low-key period. When faced with the interviews they had to accept, they also blindly commented on their own shortcomings and how much the team can achieve. The results are never mentioned.The media saw that there was really no news about this issue, so they shifted their focus to other aspects as always. It completely disappeared.

Only a few people are still paying attention to the news on the official website of the Torino team with the fans, waiting for the latest status update on Belotti's recovery from injury.On the 10th and 19th last Thursday, Hong Beibei’s attending physician told reporters that Turin No. 9 may need three to four weeks to recover, but he is worried that the Italian national team will call players in advance to participate in the play-offs, thus Force the player to come back early, causing secondary damage.According to the calculation of the minimum three weeks, the time when the player can be released by the doctor is exactly two or three days before November 11. It is impossible to adjust the state to the state where he can play in such an intense game in such a short period of time. If Ventura wants Belotti to play, the players have to resume normal training at least a week in advance.

Because the players of the Swedish team are generally tall and big, and the Italian team has not had a center forward who can hold this level of defense for many years after Vieri and Toni retired, so it is generally believed that Ventura will play on the offensive end. His own skills and speed advantages, but a center who can attack the opponent's defense and create more offensive opportunities and space for his teammates still needs a center.After Pellet, who went to China to earn money, had a bad relationship with the head coach of the national team, and it was almost impossible to return to the Azzurri, such a candidate is only the top scorer in Serie A last season. Other players of this type are in terms of ability It has not yet reached the level of becoming a national player.

So not only the fans of the Turin team, in fact, the entire Italian football world is paying attention to whether Belotti can come back in time before these two crucial play-off games, and can adjust his body and help the national team in the best condition Get tickets to next year's World Cup.

As for whether he should return to the training ground early, Li Moody and most people in the club have conflicting opinions.The player himself certainly does not want to miss the opportunity to play for the country. Hong Beibei began to apply to the team for a slight recovery exercise in the second week after the injury, even though his right knee was still unable to withstand any twisting Under the circumstances, he has also been insisting on doing upper body strength exercises, and his willingness to come back is very strong.The Turin executives, headed by chairman Urbano Cairo, also hope that the main center forward in the team can return as soon as possible, especially when the team has lost two consecutive rounds and the offense is a little weak, they hope that they can play before. The excellent "Inbe combination" can recombine and help the team get out of the trough as soon as possible.

However, the Turin coach didn't want Belotti to come back rashly at the risk of suffering more serious injuries, because although the team doctor's judgment at the first time was that it would take four weeks to recuperate, after careful observation, they still gave It is best to rest until the beginning of November is recommended.Even though Hong Beibei can already perform various movements normally at this time, it is not too much to be cautious about ligament injuries, and if there is a problem again, it is likely to need surgery to treat it. In that case, the player At least it must be reimbursed for the season.

However, in the face of the strong will of the players and the support of the club's top management, Li Moody had to accept the fact that he was not the God of Turin after complaining for several days, and could only acquiesce in their "death".However, he also used his status as the team Boss to make it clear that he would not let Hong Beibei's name appear in the squad for this weekend's league and next week's European League. Milan's strong dialogue will be decided at that time depending on the situation.

So on the night of the 27th, Urbano Cairo began to disclose the news of Belotti's upcoming comeback to the outside world, "The lad was checked on Saturday and everything went well. His knee injury is recovering well. I I don't want to say too much, but this is definitely positive for Torino, because at least it means that he will be able to regain his athletic ability soon. As for whether he can catch up with the first leg of the play-off away against Sweden? I don't know Giampiero's idea, anyway, if I were to make the decision, I would definitely bring Andrian, because he never disappoints."

However, when everyone thought that the Turin team's striker ace combination was about to be reorganized, the team still did not have Hong Beibei's name on the league roster announced on Saturday night, which also aroused heated discussions from the outside world. At the pre-match press conference for Torino's home game against Cagliari on June [-], the Corriere della Sera reporter who got the right to ask questions in the first round directly asked Li Moody about Belotti's condition.The Turin coach just prevaricated with the sentence "He still needs to find his status through training, and he is not suitable to play immediately".

With the hot discussion about whether Turin No. 9 can come back in time, the No.11 Serie A round will be divided into two days, the last weekend of October, and the first match will be a battle that attracts the attention of fans all over the world: AC Milan hosts Juventus.As the two most successful teams on the Apennine Peninsula, every collision between them is a visual feast, and no one will miss such a peak match.

However, the Rossoneri has been in poor form recently, with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in the last five rounds of the league, which disappointed the outside world who had high hopes for them.In this game, Bonucci, who was introduced from the old woman, continued to be suspended because of the red card in the home draw with Genoa two rounds ago. In addition, the left back Calabria was injured in the middle of the week. The team's defense has to be worrying.On the other hand, on the Bianconeri side of the visiting team, Mandzukic, who was suspended in the last round, returned after being suspended. There is no main injury in the team.

The process of the game also showed the difference in hard power between the two sides. Although Montella's 3-4-2-1 formation allowed AC Milan to get more possession of the ball, it also had a slight advantage in terms of shooting data. , but facing the still sophisticated Juventus defense, whether it was Suso and Calhanoglu who started, or A Silva who came off the bench, they failed to cause too much trouble for Buffon.Only the Croatian center Kalinic received a header from the king of the ball before the end of the first half, and hit the crossbar with a shovel shot from the edge of the small penalty area. This is the closest good opportunity for the home team to score. .

In contrast to Juventus in the away game, although Allegri chose to defend and counterattack a little conservatively in the first half, the players showed world-class grasping ability when facing opportunities.They only had 9 shots and 4 shots on target, but with Higuain scoring a goal in the first and second halves, they still won a complete victory at San Siro with a score of 2-0.In addition to helping the old lady win the eighth victory in the last nine league matchups between the two sides, Xiaoyan also scored his 1 goal in Serie A, which can be described as double happiness.In addition, this is also the No.30 league goal he has scored since joining Juventus. He spent a total of 49 games. Although his efficiency has dropped slightly compared to his time in Naples, it is still the standard of a top killer and will hit the top scorer this season. It's not like there's no chance.

In another duel that ended on Saturday, Roma beat Bologna 1-0 with Shalawi's goal, and continued to attack the top of the standings after securing three points.

The first game on Sunday was still scheduled for noon. Since Europe has already started to implement winter time, the current time of China is already seven hours ahead of Italy. It is divided to take care of domestic audiences. The players of the team had to play against the dazzling sunlight.Fortunately, in Italy at the end of October, the temperature is no longer as high as in the previous midsummer season. The body temperature of more than 20 degrees is still very suitable for athletes to perform, at least better than when it is only [-] or [-] degrees at night.

The Red Bulls accidentally conceded the ball first shortly after the opening. In the 10th minute, the visiting team took advantage of the mistakes of the Turin players and played a quick counterattack. Farias sent a precise transfer ball from the left to help Barrera break into the right side of the penalty area. The angle is low and the far corner is successful.The home team is scored by a player booked by themselves. This kind of routine should be considered a relatively common thing on the football field.

However, Li Moody's players did not have any psychological fluctuations because of this accident. They still arranged the deployment before the game to keep suppressing the opponent and got a lot of opportunities to attack the goal. Played well, they may have been bloody.But the Red Bull still relied on Immobile's brace and Falk's icing on the cake to reverse the opponent 3-1, stop the two rounds of invincibility, and win a respite.

In other games, the four strong teams of Naples, Lazio, Inter Milan and Sampdoria all won, while Fiorentina and Atlanta only lost 1 to 2 away games, especially the former lost to the relegation team Crotone had a big upset.However, this is also expected by some people. After all, when they beat the Turin team in the middle of the week, they also exhausted their strength. The physical fitness of the core players is under tremendous pressure. Difficult to obtain ideal results.

After eleven rounds, Naples, Inter Milan and Juventus are still firmly in the top three, followed by Lazio and Torino, and Roma ranks sixth with one game less. Samp, whose performance this season has exceeded everyone's expectations Doria also continued to play strongly, continuing to overwhelm Fiorentina, AC Milan and Atlanta behind.

Of course, the most noteworthy thing is when Benevento's losing streak will end. This round they lost 1 to 4 at home to the Blue Eagles, but the scene is not too bad. There are even more opponents, and the new coach De Zerby's ability to adjust and teach offense seems to be okay.However, they are still terrible on the defensive end. They conceded a total of 30 goals in the eleven rounds. The defensive players represented by the Senegalese central defender Beye who was loaned from the Turin team cannot escape the blame. The team that won No.4 in Serie B last season does not want to set a ticket to go back early. The new head coach has to find ways to reduce the number of goals they conceded, or try to fight against weaker relegation opponents. Take every point.

The European competition in the middle of the week soon came before everyone's eyes. Naples, who took the lead on Tuesday night, once again disappointed the Italians. 1 to 2 reaped a disastrous defeat.Sarri seems to have become a head coach who is an expert in domestic wars and an amateur in foreign wars. Although he has led the team to occupy the top position in the league, after the four rounds of the Champions League group stage, the results of 2 win and 4 losses have come. To the edge of the cliff.If you want to qualify, you not only need to win the last two rounds, but also count on Shakhtar Donetsk not to score a point. This situation should be very familiar to Tianchao fans.

On the second day of the match, Juventus drew 1-1 away with Sporting Lisbon and firmly held the second place in the group. If they can beat Barcelona at home in the next round, it is not a dream to get the first place in the group .And the Roma team is even more powerful. They beat the defending Premier League champions by three goals at home, and Conte left the Olympic Stadium in disgrace.At present, it seems that the three Italian teams participating in the Champions League are likely to get the first, second and third places in their respective groups. It is very difficult to advance to the knockout rounds for all of them.

On Thursday night, the fourth round of the Europa League group stage also rekindled the battle. Atalanta, who was in poor form in the league, was tied 1-1 by Limassol of Cyprus in an away game. Ni's team still occupies the top spot in the group, and the prospects are relatively optimistic. Lazio in Group K beat Nice in Ligue [-] by one goal at home. While winning four consecutive victories in Europe, they also secured the first place in the group two rounds ahead of schedule. They can devote all their energy to domestic competitions. , so that everyone is optimistic that the Blue Eagles will become a strong contender for the top few in the league, and it is very possible to even disrupt the championship situation.

In Group D, which finished at the same time, the Torino team challenged AEK Athens, which is temporarily second in the group, in an away game. As a result, the two sides scored a goalless draw after 10 and 3 minutes of battle, dedicating a somewhat boring matchup for the fans.However, Li Moody can still accept this result. After all, he has rotated Immobile, Baselli and other core players in the team, and only showed about 1% of his strength.Moreover, with 10 wins, [-] draw and [-] points in four games, the team can already guarantee the right to qualify for the group in advance. In the remaining two rounds, as long as they get one more point, they can lock in the first place in the group.Under the premise of ensuring the physical condition of the players, don't ask for any bicycles. Those who are content are always happy.
