Mister Legend

Chapter 358 The Only Opponent Who Can't Resist
After defeating the club's No. 3 mortal enemy with great difficulty and breaking through the first round of the Coppa Italia, which fell down last year, all four quarter-finals in this week are over.In addition to the previously promoted Inter Milan and Fiorentina, there was no suspense in the Dou-Sang battle at the end of the minute. AC Milan beat Verona 0-[-] at home and occupied a place in the quarterfinals.

In the middle of next week, there are four more games that will be held in two days. Juventus, Naples, Rome and Atlanta will all debut.If there is no accident, the next round opponent of the Turin team will be the Red Wolves, because Di Francesco's signing luck is also very good. Their opponent in this round is the Serie B team Cittadella (Cittadella). The possibility of being upset is basically non-existent.However, according to the schedule, the quarter-finals will be held at the end of December, and the Turin team can get a full rest in the next week, unlike the Roman team that will encounter two consecutive double-match tests in a week.

Due to the need to squeeze out enough time for the national team to train for next year's World Cup in Russia, in addition to increasing the number of double matches in a week, the Serie A also rarely entered the winter break during the Christmas period. There will be only one game day off on the second weekend of January next year, which can be called the most impersonal holiday arrangement in recent years, because everyone has to spend in the club during the two important holidays of Christmas and New Year's Day.

Li Modi, who still has no time to think about the vacation issue, hurried back to the apartment after quickly finishing the post-match press conference.Through the FM system just now, he has learned that Real Madrid, which is participating in the Club World Cup in the UAE, reversed the result of the host team Abu Dhabi Peninsula 2-1 in the semifinals.But seeing that it was so difficult to win after 36 shots, the Turin coach wanted to turn on the computer and watch a replay to see how the game was played.

Qizu's life is still not easy now. Since the last time the two talked, he led the team to only get 2 wins and 2 draws in the league.Moreover, they have to go to the Middle East to compete in the Club World Cup. This weekend's league will be postponed until next year. They will face the national derby with Barcelona before returning to Spain before Christmas. This schedule is really too difficult.The most important thing is that they were also suppressed by Tottenham in the Champions League, and only won the second place in the group. In the first knockout round, they encountered a strong enemy Paris Saint-Germain.Don't look at the shocking reversal of the giants of the first division by Barcelona last season. It is very accidental, and it is almost impossible for the latter to come again.Judging from Real Madrid's current state, the hope of advancing to the quarterfinals is really not as great as the opponent.

However, the Club World Cup does not bring negative impacts such as fatigue from the journey and the points will continue to increase. The team can just follow the opportunity of weaker opponents and a dense schedule to hone the rotation.As long as Qi Zu can withstand the pressure and re-adopt the key to the success of last season-using the multi-rotation mechanism to ensure the physical fitness and competitive state of the players, I believe everything will develop in a good direction, even if it is caused by short-term labor pains. The league cannot defend the title, but there are still two months before the Champions League match with Paris, which is enough for him to bring the team back on track.If he can complete three consecutive championships, this team, including himself, will become an immortal legend.

But after seeing Qi Zu's starting lineup in the semi-finals, Li Mudi secretly sighed, except for Nacho and the young player Ashraf Ha who replaced Ramos and Carvajal. Apart from Kimi, only Kovacic replaced Klose, and the other eight were exactly the same as last season's Champions League final lineup.Young talents such as Mbappe, Special Olympics and Asensio all sat on the bench, and Jesse was excluded from the 18-man squad because of Bell's existence.Judging from the Turin coach's understanding of his friends, in the most important final, Qi Zu will not easily win any of the main veteran players, that is to say, if he cannot get the opportunity to come off the bench in the second half of the game However, those young people could only toss this time from Madrid in vain, and won the Intercontinental Championship without breaking a sweat.

After watching the post-match highlights of this game, Li Mudi found that the two goalkeepers of the home team were the most impressive to him. Ronaldo shot 34 shots, half of them hit the target. This ratio is already very impressive, but the reason why Real Madrid only obtained the promotion qualification with great difficulty is because of these two little-known goalkeepers.

Ali Hassef, who started the game, is 30 years old this year. Judging from the value provided by the FM system, he has about 100 points of ability. He can only play the role of a marginal international in the weak UAE national team.But it is such a seemingly inconspicuous goalkeeper who has successively blocked the wonderful shots of many top stars in the world, such as Ronaldo, Modric, and Benzema, and almost every time he saves by a god, it makes people sigh "Yasin Possession".And the luck in the first half also stood on the side of the Abu Dhabi Peninsula team. Real Madrid scored two goals, but once they were whistled for a foul by Cristiano Ronaldo, and once they were judged by VAR as Benzema for offside. .On the contrary, it was the home team's only shot that hit the target and knocked on Navas' handle. Missed the opportunity to strengthen the goalkeeper position for two consecutive summers.

In the second half, when Assef had to be substituted due to injury, and when everyone thought that Real Madrid would soon complete the reversal, the 27-year-old substitute goalkeeper Saif who rushed to the field seemed to be taken by those great players. The door god's soul possessed.Although he was equalized by Ronaldo's volley just 2 minutes after he played, but in the next 10 minutes, the goalkeeper, who had never played a game in the national echelon, played again and again. Preventing Benzema's single shot, Casemiro's heavy artillery long-range shot, and the goalpost twice blocked the French striker's must-go goal, the home team's goal seemed to become an unbreakable fortress again.

It wasn't until the No. 801 minute that Vazquez, who came on as a substitute for Kovacic, hit an inverted triangle on the right side of the penalty area. Bell, who also came off the bench, used a close-range push to break through the opponent's city. 1 to 2, with Real Madrid occupying a crushing advantage in the audience, they used their breastfeeding strength to reach the final in a thrilling manner.This victory also allowed them to tie AC Milan's previous record of advancing to the intercontinental competition finals of 8 times (the earliest Toyota Cup and other single-game championship events are also counted), and Ronaldo also won a personal award. According to records, he has scored six goals in the Club World Cup, surpassing all other players and ranking first on this list alone.

However, these honors are of no help to the recovery of the entire team. Through the performance of this game, everyone can see the current impatience of Real Madrid players.The starters want to prove that they are still the strongest team that dominated Europe last season, while the substitutes on the bench hope to seize the rare playing time to perform, so as to impress the head coach and improve their status in the team. status.So although the game was very lively, the tactical coordination was not smooth enough in most cases, and the reason for getting so many shots was only because the opponent's strength was too weak.

Faced with this situation, Li Mudi has already made too many suggestions to his friends. Even though the relationship between the two is very good, he can't say anything more. He can only wait and see, hoping that this Real Madrid team can suddenly find a solution to everything. troublesome way.

After learning about the situation of his home team, the Turin coach began to search the Internet for the resources of the TV series in which his girlfriend starred. "Black Knight" has been officially broadcast on KBS TV station on the night of the 6th of this month, kimchi country time. As of today, the first four episodes have just aired. Not surprisingly, this series that brings together many well-known actors is on the air At the beginning, it aroused great repercussions from the three East Asian countries.Although the plot of the story is a bit old-fashioned, the character design and interaction between the protagonists are quite interesting. In addition, Lin Yuner brought a large number of fans, which made the ratings of these episodes always present a relatively ideal trend. , ranked first in the broadcast period for four consecutive days.

According to the information Li Modi found on the Internet, the ratings of the third episode yesterday had reached 16%, which is considered a very good result given the increase in the number of TV stations in Kimchi Country and the rise of the online mode of watching dramas.With the previous "The K2" and this drama, Lin Yuner, who finally got rid of the title of "ratings poison", is also very excited. During the video call with her boyfriend, her smile has not been restrained, and she keeps telling him about various things during the filming process. Such anecdotes, as well as new knowledge learned from several veteran actors, all of these have diluted the pain of lovesickness that the two have not been able to get close to each other for a long time.

After all this tossing, the time has come to around midnight, Li Modi, who had been yawning for a long time, took a shower as fast as he could, and immediately lay down to rest.The next morning, I got up half an hour later than usual, but it was only less than six o'clock. After washing up, I simply checked the latest news on the Internet, and then welcomed Forsina, and drove to the club's residence .Although just completed a fierce game yesterday, the team did not have a day off as usual, because the Red Bulls will soon usher in Naples, which is temporarily second in the standings, on Saturday, and the preparation time for two days will seem so hasty.

As of the last round, the Turin team was only 3 points behind the opponent, which was indeed far beyond everyone's expectations.You must know that when Li Moody's team suffered two consecutive winless games in the tenth round and lost to Fiorentina in an away game, almost all the media had already believed that the gap between the two teams would widen, and hastily declared The Torino team dropped out of the title race early.But who would have thought that after one and a half months, the two sides would be within reach. As long as the Red Bulls could win the White Dolphins at home, they would be neck and neck in the standings.

But it is easier said than done. Since Li Mudi landed in Serie A last summer, he has led the team and has played against 26 different teams (19 Serie A teams last season, and two in the Coppa Italia. Low-level teams, two newly promoted teams this season except Spal and three opponents in the Europa League group stage).Even Juventus, which has ruled the Apinian Peninsula in the past six years, has won a draw from the opponent. Only Naples has ended in disastrous defeats in the two confrontations so far, without scoring a single point.

Last season, the two teams only had two contests in the league. Torino was 3-5 away and 0-3 at home. They only caused some troubles for their opponents in the second half of their first encounter.Although the industry reviews of the two coaches are generally optimistic, the young Li Moody obviously received these praises because of his great potential. Sarri is the one who has the best chance to join the ranks of top coaches at the moment. .

Just at the end of last month, the Italian Football Association announced the list of candidates for the best of the 2017 Serie A (this selection has an individual name, called the Serie A Oscar). The three shortlisted for the best head coach are Allegri, Sarri and Gasperini and Moody Li lost the election without any surprise, which caused quite a bit of controversy at the time.After all, judging from the team's final ranking, the Torino team is superior to Atlanta by virtue of the advantage of goal difference. Turin fans and the media believe that their team boss is more qualified to enter the top three than the head coach of Poseidon , but who told Li Moody not to be Italian!

By the way, only Belotti was included in the list of candidates for the best striker in the entire Turin team. Ranocchia, who is firmly in the top four in the rating of central defenders, and Lazio, who scored nearly [-] goals throughout the year Immobile is not on the list, which has to make a lot of doubts about the selection of these awards.

Last Tuesday, the awards ceremony was officially held. Sarri defeated Allegri, who led the team to win a record six consecutive championships, and was elected as the best coach of the year in Serie A. Affirmation of status.In front of this world-class coach who has gradually gained the demeanor of Italy's number one coach, there is indeed a big gap between Li Moody. Even with the help of the FM system, the two are not at the same level.

After failing to compete for the championship last season, Naples added new players such as Ruy and Onas in the summer to strengthen the bench, while retaining all the original core players. Their advantage in terms of tacit understanding is obviously ahead of Other competitors who have experienced big moves.Sure enough, there is no extra suspense in the early eight-game winning streak and the announcement of the championship in advance.However, after experiencing the setbacks of being out of the Champions League group stage and losing to the Old Lady at home in the league, the morale and state of the White Dolphins have been greatly affected. The two draws with Chievo and Fiorentina also made them lose the top spot in the standings position, so this game against Turin is even more forgiving. Sarri will definitely use [-]% of his strength to smash the opponent.

Faced with such a sufferer, Li Mudi expressed that the pressure is really great!
