Mister Legend

Chapter 386 Before the Derby
After the match against Ludogorets, the coaches and team of the Turin team who came to the away game went back to the hotel to rest as planned, with the exception of head coach Li Mudi.Because it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in another day, he desperately hopes to stay with his family during this most important festival of the year, so he booked a flight back to Italy in advance and rushed to the airport at midnight.However, the traffic in Bulgaria is obviously not as convenient as those developed countries in Europe. During this time period, the Turin coach could only choose to transfer in Paris, and returned home after seven hours of turbulence in the air.But even so, he never tires of it.

When he arrived at Turin Caselle Airport, it was already 05:30 in the morning (after deducting the time difference), but when he saw the two nephews who came to pick him up with Forsina, Li Moody still forgot all the fatigue, I laughed happily.This year's Spring Festival, the eldest sister, second sister and cousin of the two uncles' families all came to Europe to celebrate the New Year. Although the old people did not want to suffer from the journey due to physical reasons and stayed in China, the nine relatives The arrival still made the Turin coach's family feel the atmosphere of relatives reuniting together to celebrate the festive season when they were young.

After returning home, Li Mudi took a nap for two or three hours. After waking up, he hugged his little nephew, who was not yet one year old, and watched the "New Year's Eve dinner production team" with the second brother-in-law as the core processing various ingredients. My sister and sister-in-law On the other hand, Lin Yuner was pulling Lin Yuner to keep chatting about dressing-related topics, and the two older nephews were busy posting Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters with the elder brother-in-law, and putting the traditional Spring Festival decorations brought from China in appropriate places. My heart is full of warmth, relaxation and happiness.Ever since he got an adventure and became a time-traveling family, perhaps today's scene is the kind of day he has been striving for.

The original Chinese influence in Turin was not strong. Compared with the number and influence, it is obvious that Milan and Rome are the main gathering places of Chinese in Italy.But with the arrival of Li Moody, this ancient city has also been "updated and patched". More and more Chinese who come here to travel, work and even settle down make it difficult for the original residents to accept these things, whether it is official institutions or ordinary people. Outsiders who have brought huge benefits have had a huge impact on both thinking and practical actions.The business districts and restaurants in the city have sprung up many signs in Chinese language, which is convenient to guide Chinese consumption; Chinese learning classes have always been extremely popular, and more and more businessmen are able to say a few simple greetings casually. Of course, the pronunciation of numbers must be the most proficient to master, which needs to be used when bargaining.

The Turin Football Club has also opened the training ground of the youth team to the outside world in the past two days, so that ordinary people can have the opportunity to stand on a professional field and enjoy the fun of playing football. This is naturally under the banner of celebrating the Chinese New Year. There will be a very important derby in three days. I believe that Chairman Urbano Cairo will definitely dare to open the Olympic Stadium together.According to the forecast data issued by the relevant Italian departments two days ago, within this week, more than [-] Chinese tourists are expected to come to Italy for vacation, and more than half of them will stay in Turin for more than one day. The city brings more than one million euros in economic benefits, and the Red Bull obviously wants to get a share of it.

Even Li Moody's two older nephews couldn't resist the temptation to play a game in a world-class football field, and begged their uncle to lead them to the club's residence. After half an hour of professionalism, it was not hard After the training, I had a half-court confrontation with other children, and I had a lot of fun.However, the only regret for the Turin coach is that he learned from other coaches that neither of the two boys has any talent for playing football, and it is estimated that they can only treat this sport as a hobby in the future.Although he has been aware of this situation for so many years, and the children are too old to enter the professional field, he always has the idea that there may be accidents, but unfortunately his dream is still shattered.

It seems that the plan to personally train a qualified professional player can only be pinned on the youngest little guy, or the child he may have in the future, but it is still full of unknowns, making people think about it. Feel helpless!

Due to the huge time difference between Europe and Asia, it is obviously unrealistic to want to synchronize the New Year's Eve, so the Li Moody family decided to follow the time on the Italian side. After all, the huge change in the biological clock is for children. It was a bit too painful.As for the tasteless Spring Festival Gala, just watch the complete video on the Internet. It doesn’t affect the effect at all if it’s live or not. Anyway, it’s just boring and full of slots. The younger generation will not pay special attention to it.

And after the Chinese New Year, the setting off of firecrackers is naturally indispensable. Europe originally strictly prohibited such highly polluting things, but due to the rapid development of the Chinese Empire and the growing wealth of Chinese people, foreign countries will no longer be as unreasonable as before.The Chinatowns in the United States and some important European countries are the first to make an exception to allow Chinese people to set off fireworks during the Spring Festival, but they have strict requirements on product quality to minimize air pollution.Italy is one of the few countries that has relatively few restrictions on setting off firecrackers. They even set off firecrackers themselves during the New Year's Eve, so from noon on New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers can be faintly heard outside.But generally speaking, the peak time is at night, because today is not a legal holiday in Western countries, so the Chinese who settled here have no time to celebrate the festival during the day.

Lively and joyful, the new year is here in front of everyone, but after waking up the next morning, what Li Moody cares most about is the news about football, because the weekend league is really imminent .

In the middle of this week, there were four first-leg matches in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, and the first-round clashes in the first knockout round of the 2 European League games were all over. It has become the hottest topic in various sports media.In the UEFA Champions League, the Roma game will be held next Wednesday, so only Juventus, a Serie A team, made its debut the day before.But they did not show the demeanor of last season's runner-up in this competition. The home game was forced to 2-[-] by Tottenham, which has shined in the European war this year. This result made the old lady a guest at White Hart Lane three weeks later. The second round of the match looked extremely difficult.A draw can be barely accepted, but two goals conceded at home are likely to be a key factor in determining the final result. It seems that the Bianconeri's Big Ear Cup dream is likely to be postponed until next season.

In sharp contrast to the weakness of the Italian teams, the strong rise of the Premier League teams, in addition to the excellent performance of Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool achieved big victories in away games, 4-0 and 5-0 respectively The score also allowed them to lock in the quarterfinals in advance, the momentum is very compelling!In another focus match, Real Madrid defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 at the Bernabeu with Ronaldo's brace, letting the world see their confidence in winning three consecutive Champions League titles.Qi Zu seems to have opened up during this period of time, and finally began to reuse young talents such as Mbappe and Asensio. The state of the player.Although the league is [-] points behind rivals Barcelona and almost missed defending the title, there are still some opportunities in the Champions League, and this game has demonstrated the strength of the Galacticos and laid a good foundation for advancing to the next round.

In the European League, the results of the Serie A teams are also mixed. Except for the Torino team that can easily make it to the top 2, the rest of the teams are mediocre. All three games ended in defeat, but considering it is home and away In the two-round competition system, it is still possible to advance.Atalanta, whose record has declined in the league this season, has been in good form in the European competition. In the group stage, they overwhelmed Lyon and Everton to win the top spot, but their luck was very sad. They even drew from the first round of the knockout round. Dortmund who fell out of the Champions League.However, Gasperini's team showed a tough side. As a guest at the Devil's Stadium Westfalen, they withstood the huge pressure and only lost the first round of the confrontation 3-[-]. China did not fall into a disadvantage.

Lazio is also in a similar situation to Poseidon. After experiencing a smooth group stage, they were lucky enough to draw Steaua Bucharest, which is not well-known in European football today.But in the Romanian capital, the team that defeated Barcelona in the 1985-85 season to win the only UEFA Champions League title in the country's history suppressed a powerful enemy from the Apennine Peninsula with amazing momentum, and finally won by a small goal. blue eagle.But this score is still acceptable for Simone Inzaghi. Back at home, they still have a full 10 minutes, and the chances of achieving a comeback are very high.

Only Naples' performance was unanimously criticized by the media. The Serie A leader at home was actually rubbed on the ground by the German team Leipzig Red Bull. The arena.This defeat was mainly due to the home team's carelessness or lack of attention. Facing the opponent currently ranked No.1 in the Bundesliga, Sarri hid a lot of main players. Only Hamsik and Callejon made their debut in the midfield. The rest were all substitutes, who simply didn't take the other party seriously, and ended up being severely slapped in the face.

Considering that Naples' opponent in the weekend league is only the newly promoted Maspar, their strategic thinking seems very unreasonable. "Torino Sport" published an article mocking Sarri's rotation, which is not as easy as Li Moody .However, the local media believed that it would be good to be out of the European War, so that they could devote all their energy to the competition for the league championship. The collapse that occurred planted a foreshadowing.

As the footsteps of the weekend gradually approached, the focus of the reports of various media also returned to the relevant topics of the league. Because of the Spring Festival and leading the team to go abroad to participate in the European League, the Turin coach who left early last weekend, finally Still after the training on Friday afternoon, the gate of the club's residence was artificially blocked by a group of reporters waiting there.Seeing that it was impossible to get out of the encirclement without answering a few questions, Li Modi had to lower the window of the car beside him and accepted a group interview under the protection of security personnel.

After Udinese coach Odo suffered a misjudgment last Sunday, he has been expressing doubts about the on-duty referee Abiso. The Football Association asked for a fair statement.And the goal that was blown away has been repeatedly studied after the event, and it has been widely confirmed that it was indeed a wrong penalty. No wonder the Italian Football Association did not impose penalties on Odo when he openly criticized the referee's level of law enforcement. Obviously I also know that I am wrong.However, this also makes whether the league has achieved the desired effect after the introduction of VAR technology has become a hot topic in football. Many reporters hope to get his opinion from the Turin coach.

"The ball should be effective? Judging from the most basic football rules, it is indeed the case, but all decisions on the football field are controlled by referees. Our team can only abide by it unconditionally. This is what I I learned from last week and last week. However, I can fully understand Mr. Odo’s resentment. The Turin team also suffered many questionable penalties before, which made it difficult for us to accept for a while. But football The game is like this, there are always all kinds of accidents, some are good for you, and some are not good for you. If you can't adapt in time, you can't move forward, so let this thing that has become history really pass away Bar."

"VAR is an important symbol of the integration of modern technology into football. The initial trial in the Bundesliga last season achieved excellent results, and the false positive rate showed a clear downward trend. That's why FIFA and UEFA will vigorously promote it. But this thing is a new thing after all, and there are still many problems in the use of referees, such as the timeout is too long, whether the referee or the off-court referee has the final decision, whether to set up a special organization like the NBA Unified management, etc., but these can be gradually found through long-term exploration and experimentation. Therefore, I think it is meaningless to argue about whether VAR should be used here. It is better to focus on How to enhance the professional quality of referees."

"The derby on the weekend? I naturally hope to get an ideal result. The Turin team has no idea about the league title. This year's situation is a two-horse battle between Juventus and Naples. Spoiler. But the derby obviously has nothing to do with those. The goal of the Red Bulls is to win. It has been like this before, it is like this now, and it will still be like this in the future. For some people, winning this game is better than winning the championship Excited and excited for them, and I hope the result will not disappoint everyone."
