Mister Legend

Chapter 400

Li Mudi always likes to bring himself into the role of the head coach of both sides when watching the game, always thinking about how to make a decision if he is standing on the sidelines and facing various complicated situations.This is a unique habit of the head coach profession, and many amateurs should also have this hobby, wishing that they could replace those incompetent coaches and lead their beloved teams to the top.

However, the Turin coach is not only making suggestions for his home team as a Real Madrid supporter, but is always on the unfavorable side of the situation, in this way to exercise his on-the-spot reaction ability.For example, when the game just started for more than 20 minutes, he determined that Paris Saint-Germain lacked a key core in the frontcourt that could deliver shells to the striker players, but Neymar's absence did make the home team's personnel deployment seem obvious. Quite stretched.

Although the French local tyrants have frequently produced large-scale transfer transactions in recent years, there are few real world top superstars among them. It was Neymar last summer.

Although Cavani, Di Maria, Verratti and even German winger Draxler are all worth a lot, they have never proved themselves in tough battles against powerful opponents before, especially after the past years. After being turned over by Barcelona, ​​they have basically been labeled by the outside world as bullying and afraid of hard work. It is difficult to play reliably when the team needs them most.So much so that when Neymar was unable to play, it was difficult for the team to find someone who could lead everyone to a desperate situation and fight back.

But Paris' poor performance today was largely due to coach Emery's tactical mistakes.Even though he did not expect his offense to be so restrained by the opponent before the game, but after experiencing a poor performance for 45 minutes in the first half, he did not make personnel adjustments before the rematch. It still allowed the team to repeat the situation that they could not create any danger at the front of the opponent's penalty area in the first half.Considering the conservative adjustment after winning 1-1 at the Bernabeu in the first round, the Spanish coach who previously led Sevilla to three consecutive Europa League titles is really far from the first-class coaches. Not looking for a new job again.

After Cristiano Ronaldo scored with a header and rewritten the total score to 4-1, Emery, who had nowhere to retreat, seemed to have just recovered, and replaced Motta with Pastore, increasing the number of players in the game. Threat ball pass on the offensive end.This adjustment made the home team's last pass finally obtain a certain threatening effect. The Argentine midfielder passed Cavani and Draxler successively in just 4 minutes, allowing Paris to get two goals and draws. With a corner kick, the team's offense finally opened up.

However, in the No. 605 minute, Verratti's poor emotional management allowed him to get the second yellow card of the game, and the situation of missing one player basically declared the hope of the home team's comeback was shattered.Even though Paris Saint-Germain created chaos in Real Madrid's penalty area through a cross from the side in the No.70 minute, Cavani scored a goal by mistake and tied the total score to 2-4. .

But they were in desperate need of another goal, but they were quickly hit fatally because of the empty defense. First, the mistake of the midfielder gave Benzema a chance to quickly enter the penalty area. Fortunately, his goal shortage was doomed It will not end today, a volley missed the goal frame, but Casemiro refracted the goal in the No. 709 minute and completely killed the game.Vazquez then squandered another golden opportunity when his putter from the front point hit the post.

In the end, Real Madrid, the defending champion for two consecutive times, defeated Paris Saint-Germain, a strong opponent that was favored by more people before the game, 2-1 away, and advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a total score of 5-2.And Qi Zu also relied on his performance in this round of knockout rounds, basically overcoming the biggest crisis of confidence since he coached Real Madrid. If he wins consecutive championships, he will become the Lord Ferguson in Meilinger's heart, and he will be able to secure his position for a long time based on this achievement.

Ronaldo is also one of today's biggest winners. He tied Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of scoring goals in nine consecutive UEFA Champions League games in the 02-03 season, and took the top spot in a leaderboard.After the game, the emperor superstar, in addition to thanking Vazquez for his assists, also thanked some fans of the home team.It is precisely because those people sitting behind their own goal set off a lot of smoke from fireworks that his figure was not observed by the defensive players in advance when he was outflanking the point. The behavior of the Paris fans just confirmed the famous saying of the Chinese dynasty :no Zuo no Die.

In the post-match statistics, because one player was missing in the last three to 10 minutes, the home team's previous advantage in ball possession was finally wiped out, and the two sides each accounted for 50%.But in the case that the number of attacks is basically the same, Paris' shooting data is only 8 of 4, which is far behind Real Madrid's 22 of 6. If Benzema hadn't wasted many opportunities, today's game would have been wasted , the Ligue [-] leader should be said to have lost convincingly.

After staying up late to watch the game, Li Mudi sent a congratulatory text message to Qi Zu and Ronaldo and other Real Madrid generals, and then went to bed to rest.The next day was another series of adjustment training. As the game approached and time passed, the impact of Astori's death was finally reduced to an acceptable range in the Turin team. The players' competitive state Also picked up a lot.

On Wednesday night, it was another round of two UEFA Champions League quarter-final second-leg duels.Manchester City, which won four goals in the first leg in the away game, can be said to have no pressure. After returning to the home court, they formed a lineup of many substitute players. Made it to the quarterfinals.

In another focus match, Juventus, who were forced 2-2 at home by Tottenham a month ago and fell into a very dangerous situation, showed the world the background of a top giants this time as a guest at White Hart Lane.They lag behind in all statistics, especially in terms of shooting, they are at a huge disadvantage with 8-for-3 vs. 23-6. However, with their solid defense and efficient counterattack, the old lady lost a goal first Still caught the opponent's negligence in the second half, scored two goals in a row within 3 minutes, reversed the total score, and finally defended the one-goal lead until the last moment.

4 to 3, last year's runner-up eliminated the new Premier League forces. Although the score and process were a bit thrilling, those who have watched the game, especially the second round matchup, can clearly feel that the Serie A giants still have strength, and everyone I don't want to meet such a difficult opponent early.

One night without words, on Thursday, March 3, when the Chinese people were celebrating Women’s Day, Astori’s funeral was held at noon in the Santa Croce Church in Florence, and thousands of fans gathered in the square outside the church Sending off to the beloved captain of his team.Due to the task of the game at night, the coaches and most of the members of the Turin team were unable to attend in person. Immobile and Belotti, who had formed close friends with Astori in the national team, therefore Become a little moody.As representatives of the club, Ranocchia and others, who missed the game due to injury, flew to the capital of Tuscany in central Italy together with director Castellazzi, and were able to send old friends off for the last time.

The funeral was presided over by Cardinal Giuseppe Bertori himself, and Fiorentina midfielder Milan Badelli read the eulogy on behalf of the club.In addition, the Juventus soldiers who had just finished a fierce game in London last night, including general manager Marotta, coach Allegri, Buffon, Chiellini and others, all returned to China overnight in a private jet. Arrived at the scene before the ceremony.Their behavior was also applauded by the Viola fans.

After paying attention to the entire funeral itinerary through the live broadcast of pictures and texts on the Internet, the left-behind players of the Turin team can finally put all their thoughts back to preparing for the evening game.But at that time, none of them thought that a victory would come so easily, which was very different from the original expectation.

Lokomotiv Moscow currently overwhelms strong players such as Zenit, CSKA and Sparta in the Russian Super League, occupying the top position in the standings, a huge improvement compared to the eighth result last season.Although there are no big-name stars in the team, the overall integrity is very good. Up to now, as many as twelve players have scored goals this season, but they are a model of all soldiers.

However, it is precisely because there is not a really strong core, so it does not have the ability to exert its full strength or even surpass the level when encountering difficulties. After being suppressed at the beginning of the first round of the away game, the Unable to stabilize his position, he finally returned in a panic.

Specifically, in this game, Locomotive's most important scoring point at the moment-Peru striker Farfan, suffered a hip injury in early March and was still unable to play after a month of recuperation, so he will meet next month. The head coach Yuri Xiaoming, who is coming to his 71st birthday, can only choose a defensive formation that can switch between 5-3-2 and 3-5-2, hoping to get a clean sheet in the away game, and then go back Go to the home court to win and advance.But in the face of the Red Bulls who went all out today, their wishful thinking obviously failed to start.

Li Moody also offered a 3-5-2 position. Although he will play an away game against his rival Roma on the weekend, but because the ranking in the league is still stable, the club still hopes that the team can go as far as possible in the European competition. After all, every round of promotion can bring a lot of sponsorship fees and UEFA bonuses, which is a huge temptation for the club's ups and downs.

Partnering strikers are Belotti and Pellegri. The five midfielders from right to left are Silvestri, Muses, Baselli, Febas and Boyer wearing face masks. The first central defenders are Goldaniga, Diego Llorente and Bonifaczi, and the goalkeeper is naturally Iker Casillas.It is worth mentioning that Cassie wore a pair of special gloves today, with the words "Goodbye David, we will miss you" written on it.And this action was also responded by the Italian Football Association and all the teams after the game. Everyone agreed that in the weekend league, everyone's jerseys will be embroidered with the words "CiaoDavide13 (Farewell to David)". In memory of Astori.

After the 1-minute silence ceremony before the game, the Turin team, which got the kick-off right, immediately launched a fierce offensive. Under the central control of Baselli, the wingbacks on both sides frequently put in assists to cooperate with the Italian national team's striker. The strength of the combination firmly suppressed the opponent within the half court.The home team, who doesn't know the Oriental hospitality at all, made four free kicks and three corner kicks in the first 15 minutes. Although they only got three chances to attack the goal because of the opponent's strict defense, they almost The oppressive force that prevented the locomotive players from passing halftime still made all the spectators shine.

No. In the 16th minute, the young Russian international Anton Miranchuk sent a cross from the right side of the penalty area. Captain Denisov followed up with a volley and missed the post. This made the visiting team win the first goal of the game. One kick.But the situation after that fell into the control of the Turin players again. Belotti's header and Pellegri's counter-offside both brought Lokomotiv goalkeeper Guilherme to the goal. The pressure also caused the visiting team's defensive front to continue to retreat to the rear, weakening the defensive forces at the front of the penalty area, and paid a heavy price for this.

No.20 In the second minute, Baselli passed the ball to the right. Silvestri and Fabas completed a wall collision and then went straight to the bottom line to make a pass, attracting most of the Locomotive players. attention.As a result, after the home team's right-wing guard passed the opponent's defender, he quickly knocked the ball back three meters outside the arc of the penalty area in a low and flat manner. Baselli, who patted his horse and followed up, shot directly with his foot and attacked with his right foot. The door hit the upper left corner of the visiting team's goal like a fired shell, which made Guilherme helpless. 1 to 0, the Red Bulls finally broke the deadlock in the score and took the initiative to advance.

But in the two rounds of home and away games, everyone is very clear that a one-goal lead can only be said to have a slight advantage. Since the second round will be away in the cold Moscow, today's Turin team must get two goals For the above victories, we must also strive to prevent the opponent from scoring away goals, so that we can truly control our own destiny.So after leading by one goal, Li Mudi who came to the sidelines praised the performance of the players, but still asked everyone to continue to maintain a high-intensity offensive posture and try to score another goal.

Therefore, after the kick-off, the home team continued to attack crazily as if the score had not changed. They used fierce high-position presses in the midfield to destroy the opponent's pass control many times, thereby obtaining more than [-]% of the instant possession rate. Thereby gaining a lot of offensive opportunities.
