Mister Legend

Chapter 364 New Year and the Opening of the Winter Window

Although the team will be away at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night to compete with the mighty Red Wolves in the Coppa Italia, and although New Year's Day is not a very important holiday for Western countries, the Turin club is still in 2018. On the first day of [-], everyone was given a holiday, so that all employees and players could experience the joyous moment of the New Year in the company of their families.

Li Moody also spent this holiday with his parents. The elders, who are indifferent to foreign festivals like Christmas, still pay more attention to the Gregorian New Year. They did not refuse their son's invitation again, and flew over from Mallorca Island one day in advance.However, the family of three are traditional Chinese people, and there is not much interaction between them. Apart from having a sumptuous dinner together, they just do their own things.Father Li is not letting go of his laptop. Although he has been in Europe for many years, the old man still maintains the habit of being in China. He spends his free time watching TV programs. I use video software to watch the Internet, and I have a good time every day.

Li's mother also has no special hobbies in her daily life. Reading newspapers and listening to the radio, which she often does in China, completely gave up after she came to Europe. She can only spend her time and energy on taking care of the farm. aspect.But because she hired a professional person to operate it, she herself is getting older and her health is not as good as before, so she can only follow along without much effect, so she is so willing to return to visit relatives or go to various places travel.

However, since their son got a girlfriend, the two elderly people have obviously focused more on this aspect. Although they have not urged marriage, but Li Mudi's age is there. If you say that they are not in a hurry to have a grandson, it is certain It's a lie.No, after arriving in Turin City at noon on the 31st, after meeting with their son, the two elders hurried to the newly bought house to check the indoor situation.After the simple decoration there, it has basically been cleaned up, and it can be moved in at any time, and the new electrical appliances have also been installed, but Li Moody hopes to move in together after Lin Yuner comes over, so he is not in a hurry to clean up the things in the apartment.

After seeing the situation in the new house, Mother Li began to urge her son to sort out all the luggage at home as soon as possible. Even if the move is not imminent, it must be prepared in advance.However, the coach of Turin thinks that there is nothing to prepare for. Everything in the new home is new, and there is no need to use the old things at present. When moving, he just took the opportunity to gather them together and throw them away. Anyway, his net worth is not low now. , there is no need to care about this little money.The conflict of ideas between the two generations actually had a fierce collision at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, which was indeed unexpected.

Li Mudi can be regarded as a filial son, but he didn't expect that he just made the old man angry just because he was lazy and didn't like to pack things up and refuted his mother's suggestion. When he found out that the situation was not good, the situation had already It's about to get out of hand.Fortunately, he reacted in time, sincerely apologized to his mother, and expressed that he was willing to obey the command and promise to complete the tasks assigned. In addition, Li's father's persuasion and Lin Yuner, who was asked by her boyfriend later via video connection It took a long time to plead for mercy, and only then did the small dispute caused by the accident be appeased.

But Li's mother, who knows her son's lazy temperament, doesn't give too many verbal reminders, and simply takes the work of cleaning up old things into her arms, and decides to stay in Italy for two more days, sorting out things by herself. After a while, return to Spain.Reluctantly, Li Moody had no choice but to go back to the bedroom with his tablet in his hand after his persuasion failed. While making the tactical plan for the mid-week game, he kept in touch with Valentino Cairo on the phone to prepare for the upcoming winter season. The possibility of adjusting the lineup was exchanged in the meeting window.

Since Li Moody took charge of the Red Bulls in the summer of 2016, the Torino team has been very active in the three consecutive transfer windows, and they have made plans early on. Rarely does it fail.But before the arrival of this winter, the club really didn't have any special ideas about signings.Although at the beginning of December, the director Longo had already come up with a budget of about 2000 million euros for the transfer funds available to the club, but the state of the player's inflated value caused by Neymar's high-priced joining Paris Saint-Germain did not It didn't dissipate, so the team coach thought that the price-performance ratio of paying for new aid at this time was too low, so he proposed to save the transfer fee and use it according to the specific situation in the summer.

However, there is a saying in China that "people are not as good as heaven". Belotti's injury, and two consecutive problems in the same position, still caused the club to have some concerns about the team's striker strength. Li Modi estimated that Mr. Chairman Maybe he has already begun to regret that he didn't sell him the previous summer when there were many giants seeking to buy him. Even if no team took out the 8000 million he marked, [-] million can agree. This is really a hit. The feeling in my own hand.

Leaving aside the question of whether it is worth keeping Hong Beibei behind or not, just looking at the current lineup of the Turin team, there were originally only three Zhengyin forwards, and now one is injured. It is indeed very stretched in terms of playing arrangements. up.Although the 19-year-old Johannes Eggerstein of the youth team can be transferred, the young man's current ability value is only less than 120, and there is still some gap from Pellegri, who is 125. It is difficult, so it is obviously a fantasy to expect the German to replace the top scorer in the league last season.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the new aid came to the Turin team to succeed Belotti. According to this ability requirement, it is impossible to buy someone without a base of 6000 to 9 million euros.Moreover, No. [-] of the team will come back in three weeks. Even if the team will strictly control his playing time in order to prevent another injury, there will not be too many opportunities for rookies. Well-known players are unwilling to play in this situation. Join the Red Bulls next.Fortunately, the team only needs a temporary emergency striker. As long as they persist for the remaining half of the season, everything will be fine when the summer window opens and the transfer fee is sufficient, so the loan has become the most reliable choice now. .

Although the incident happened very suddenly and there was not much time left for the club staff, but with the FM system in hand and the use of the scouting tool at the end of the year, a list of reserve personnel was quickly communicated to all relevant parties. In the hands of the staff, the scouting team began to book air tickets one after another, and began their itinerary around the country.The number one target proposed by Li Moody is the Belgian international Batshuayi, who had a very unsatisfactory life at Chelsea. The former Manchester United hero Langley went to London two days ago and watched the Blues' five-goal victory at home. Stoke City game.However, the Belgian forward, who had few opportunities to play this season, only got the chance to come off the bench at the last moment. After contributing a non-threatening shot, he had no other outstanding performances.

As of New Year's Day, Batshuayi has played 16 games for Chelsea this season and scored 7 goals. The results are not bad, but most of the statistics are collected in domestic cups such as the League Cup, which is not taken seriously. from.When the league reached the No.20 round, he only played 11 times for the team, all of them as substitutes, and scored 260 goals in a total of more than 2 minutes.With Diego Costa missing the chance to sign up and Morata suffering from frequent injuries since October, Conte has never been able to reuse him. In Li Moody's mind, the difficulty of renting him is already relatively small.

As for whether the striker's ability can help the Turin team, there is obviously no doubt. The reason why he failed to play at Stamford Bridge has something to do with Conte's tactics. Great relationship.Batshuayi joined Chelsea in the summer of 2016 with a high net worth close to 4000 million. Because Shengshi Meiyan was in a sluggish state in the previous season, in order to continue to maintain sufficient competitiveness in the league championship, Abramovich Take out this conversion fee that was considered a premium at the time (the player's worth was only 1500 million at the time) to win him.But no one expected that Costa suddenly regained his strength as the world's top center last season. Although he suffered from occasional minor injuries, he has been killing all sides when he is healthy. It is the Blues who won the Premier League title ahead of schedule. One of the greatest contributors.

This caused Michy Batshuayi, who had performed many wonderful performances at the beginning of the season, to collapse directly. He was firmly pressed on the bench for many consecutive games. The mentality has changed.In the second season, after Costa was ousted with great difficulty, he was robbed of the main position by new aid Morata, and he was still a backup.Moreover, Conte's tactics this season also require the center forward to have a strong header in addition to holding the ball personally, so as to make full use of the power of crosses from the assists of the full-backs on both sides. He is not very good at this aspect The Belgian will naturally not be favored by the head coach.

Of course, there is another point that everyone should pay attention to. This former Marseille player was not asked to be introduced by Conte when he entered the home team, but the Chelsea uniform team completed a good deal from the perspective of player ability, because this player Drogba's template is none other than Drogba.The Belgian striker is a relatively rare impact center in current football. He has good post-up skills and can also retreat to play the role of a fulcrum. This is actually very rare.But although he has a certain ability to grab points, his body is relatively bulky, his ability to surpass people is not strong, and his ability to create opportunities is also very limited. These shortcomings are all Conte does not like, and it is reasonable to be abandoned .

But Michy Batshuayi, who has 140 ability value and 155 potential value, is still a good column center. The technique is also quite reliable.In addition, it can act as a long pass target in the midfield and defend the opponent in the penalty area to create opportunities for teammates. It is still possible to redisplay its own strength after changing the environment. If it can be used at a lower cost If you come on loan for half a season, it should be said that it is worth looking forward to.

In addition, behind this list of striker signings, there are a few players who may not be familiar to all fans, but who have an ideal fit with the Red Bulls.Senegalese striker Kuma Babacar, who has been completely reduced to a substitute in Florence, is currently playing for Las Palmas in La Liga and has always been the main force in the team, but the former Chelsea French center Rocky Ray who suddenly fell out with the coach last week Mi, once a generation of monsters in the Football Manager game, the Swede John Guidetti who switched to Celta Vigo in the summer but performed poorly due to injuries and unacceptable reasons, and the sluggish state in Wolfsburg , Mario Gomez, a veteran who may switch to a new environment in order to re-enter the national team, these forwards who have a high chance of leaving the team in the winter transfer window are all fresh blood that the Turin club may get.

In addition to these go-getters with good immediate combat ability, Sassuolo center Falcinelli, who has been rented out by Florence, and veteran Pazzini, who has been unable to play in Verona, are both guaranteed choices. Several players in the team were unable to reach an agreement with the Red Bulls due to various problems, and Li Moody would use them as temporary substitutes.However, in terms of strength and cost-effectiveness, these two are naturally far behind, and I hope they won't end up in this situation.

And not long after the scouts in Turin started their investigation work, on the first day of 2018, that is, the first trading day when the European League winter transfer window officially opened this season, many impressive big-money deals were born , Let the small and medium-sized teams who think they have a little spare money startled.

First, the Premier League giants Liverpool poached Dutch international Van Dijk from Southampton by breaking the world football defender's transfer fee record, and the fee was as high as 7880 million!This player has also entered the field of vision of the Turin coach before, and he once wanted to buy it to strengthen the defensive line, but the valuation of 1200 million last summer and the price of 3500 million obtained through the feedback of the FM system directly made him cut off the introduction idea.But who knew that after one and a half years, the transaction price of this player would more than double, which is really unimaginable.

Then Diego Costa finally returned to his famous old club Atlético de Madrid after experiencing the embarrassing situation of not having a ball to play for half a year. The figure is 6600 million higher.After winning two Premier League titles with the world's top striker, returning it to the "manufacturer" before aging problems and making a fortune, Chelsea's deal is worth it to everyone but Atletico Madrid like.

Before the arrival of the second day of the New Year, within 24 hours, the entire world football (mainly the European continent) produced a total of 4352 players' team changes (including transfers, loans, free agents to join new teams and terminations). The total transfer fee of Beijing is 650 million [-] million euros. Although it is slightly less than the same period last year, it can still be regarded as one of the most active natural days in the transfer market.
