Mister Legend

Chapter 512 Perfect Decision

The Russian team was eliminated from the current European Cup on the evening of July 7th, and there were still ten days before the expiration of Li Moody's contract. However, he chose to leave early again, and the whole team returned to Moscow to participate in the sports department After the celebration party.

Comrade Vladimir did not attend the dinner in person due to the fact that the results were not considered a major breakthrough and due to work arrangements, but Russian Sports Minister Korobkov had a short and private exchange with Li Moody during the period .After conveying the congratulations from Mr. President, he also expressed the gratitude and reluctance of the Russian people to the coach of the national team.

Although after the team advanced to the quarter-finals, many media and fans in the country are calling for the Chinese coach who led the national team to perform miracles to stay in office.However, this is obviously unrealistic. Although historically they hired Hiddink and Capello successively in the ten years from 2006 to 2015, in the competition, except for the one mentioned before, The repeated setbacks outside the semi-finals of the European Cup still caused the fighting nation to temporarily resist foreign teachers.

The reason why Li Mudi was able to get the opportunity to coach the Russian men's football team was not only the urgent situation at the time, but also the reason why Comrade Fu strongly recommended it. It can be said that it was a special case and it was difficult to be replicated.

If he can lead the team to the finals this time, he may be invited to renew his contract because of his outstanding performance. Otherwise, the team's next head coach must be a local person, which is beyond doubt.

Of course, Li Moody, who has already taken over Arsenal, also holds a negative attitude towards whether he can also serve as the coach of the Russian men's football team.Coaching a club will greatly shorten the time he spends with his family, especially his daughter. If he spends his energy on the national team, he will be really busy. This is absolutely unacceptable.

So with the gratitude of the fighting nation for himself, our hero soon boarded the flight from Moscow to London.There, with the help of agent Guinness, his wife has settled a new home very quickly, and only needs Modi Li to move in with his bags.

On July 7th, when the semi-finals of the European Cup were in full swing, he was dressed in Hugo Boss casual clothes (the world's top men's wear brand snatched this brand from Armani at a very high endorsement price and has a super influence in the Far East. Followed by a group of British paparazzi, Li Moody walked into the gate of Arsenal Club's residence in northwest London.This news subsequently caused quite a stir in the entire British football world, and even distracted fans who were paying attention to the European Cup.

Since the Emirates Stadium opened in 2006 is only one street away from the former Highbury Stadium, the club's residence has not been relocated, and it is still maintained at the previous 75 Drayton Park Street. For the staff , which is very convenient.

However, for the coaching staff and players, their main gathering place is the Kearney training base in Hertfordshire, north of London, which is about 40 minutes' drive from the Emirates Stadium, which is still relatively far.

Since the team's reunion time for the new season is still far away, other members of the coaching staff have not reported yet, so the purpose of Li Mudi's visit to the resident is obviously not for training, so it is likely to discuss transfer matters, this guess The reporters who were standing outside suddenly became excited.

At 06:30 p.m. that day, the Arsenal club announced on their official website that they would hold a belated coaching debut in the news media room of the stadium at [-]:[-] p.m. After all, when he signed the contract, Li Moody was leading the Russian national team To prepare for the war, there is no time to visit the UK in person, and now it can be regarded as making up for everyone's regret at that time.

As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately aroused widespread attention in the British football world. Many foreign media sent their own reporters to advance to the capital, just to be able to dig out the first from this legendary Chinese man. The raw material of the hand.

However, their plan ultimately fell through. Faced with all kinds of weird questions from the British reporters, the new Gunners coach was always practicing Tai Chi with a standard London accent.Whether it is the team's future development plan, or how to think about how Arsenal should deal with the current tragic arms race in the Premier League, or whether they will worry about being criticized by the fans after leading the Russian men's football team to defeat the Three Lions. Boycott, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Afterwards, some unreconciled media published reports, asking how such a good man, who seemed not ready to face the most difficult league in the world, would deal with various problems in the Arsenal team and make those rebellious Many world-class big names are willing to obey his doubts.

The reason why the Spanish coach Emery resigned after two years in the Arsenal, in addition to the team's poor performance, is also inseparable from the deteriorating relationship between him and some players in the team. .In particular, his preference to use a single striker tactic, allowing Aubameyang and Lacazette to share playing time, completely angered these two stars who joined the team during Wenger's coaching period. And Mkhitaryan, the two midfield playmakers, also have a certain amount of dissatisfaction because Emery always gives them more defensive tasks.

In addition, Calum Chambers and others who were awkward because of unsatisfied personal treatment issues, and last season only ranked seventh in the league, barely obtained a qualification for the European League qualifiers, played in the European War, domestic The results of early exit in the two major cups also caused a great blow to the morale of the team. Veterans such as Koscielny and Ospina have expressed their thoughts of leaving the team.The current internal atmosphere of this Arsenal team can be said to be the worst since Graham took over the team in the 8080s of the last century. For the new coach, it is very difficult to deal with.

According to the analysis of some industry insiders, if you want to restore the team's momentum and save the Gunners from the rapid decline, then it is best to hire an iron-fisted coach, even if you sacrifice a season's results.Otherwise, the situation will only get worse and worse until it becomes too serious to be saved.

However, judging from Li Mudi's previous performance in coaching the Turin team, he obviously does not meet the above requirements. Although everyone generally recognizes the ability of this Chinese man on the court, there are still some people who are not optimistic about his skills off the court. .

Sure enough, the German media quickly broke out that Ozil, who was on vacation in his hometown, had a fierce verbal conflict with the club's new coach because he was unwilling to return to the team early to start the training camp.Although this news was soon confirmed to be exaggerated by unscrupulous reporters, but as the saying goes, there are no waves without wind. Obviously, the initial communication between these two people should not be so pleasant, otherwise 272 would not take the initiative to stand up during the interview. Come out and dispel rumors.

Moreover, some British media broke the news that after Li Moody signed the contract, many members of the Arsenal team seemed to be disconnected from the Internet, and less than half of the players made comments on private social networks such as Twitter. Welcome comments, this is also regarded by the outside world as a statement that they will not easily buy a new coach.

However, this wave of advocating that the gunmen may continue to decline has not caused any greater movement, and the plot suddenly reversed.

Less than 12 hours after Germany's surprise penalty shoot-out victory over the Gallic Roosters in the European Cup final to claim the continental title, which is rather unusual for the venue, a previously undisclosed The slightest hint of a player trade was officially finalized and then made public.The Russian striker/winger Alexander Golovin, who previously played for the Ligue 5230 club Monaco, moved to the Emirates Stadium for a price of [-] million pounds, and joined hands with the head coach Li Mudi who just finished the European Cup journey with him.

And because another forward midfielder of the team, Mkhitaryan, has expressed through the media that he is willing to return to the UK in advance and is considered to be temporarily softened, Ozil, who is about to celebrate his 32nd birthday, has actually lost Take the position in the arsenal.If the German star, who is still able to occasionally play the world's top performance, does not want to use up the last year of his contract on the bench, then immediately contacting the next player is something he and his agent need to consider immediately. .

As a result, in less than three days, Schalke 04, his home team when he debuted in the past, took him home with a contract of 1450 million pounds.Since then, this former genius who was once considered by the outside world to have the opportunity to grow into the world's number one midfielder has gradually faded out of the center of football, leaving future generations with endless regrets and comments, either positive or negative.

After dealing with the biggest thorn, Li Moody's tactic of killing chickens and monkeys obviously had a certain effect. While the media praised him in a tone of surprise, some in the Arsenal team thought they had seniority, A player whose status or popularity is not as good as Ozil's has finally shown his willingness to cooperate with the new coach.

Due to the poor performance of the team year after year and the aging of the team members, there are not many players in the Arsenal first team participating in the finals of this European Cup, and they are basically all players before the quarter-finals. After returning home, the only two players who have gone far with the team, Lacazette and Renault, are still substitutes for the national team, and the consumption is very small.Therefore, the degree of suffering from the FIFA virus is not very great, and the Gunners are at least lighter than other Premier League giants.

That's why Li Mudi came up with the idea of ​​starting the training camp earlier, and after discussing with the club's senior management, he put it into action.

Most of the players who still have a contract relationship with Arsenal rushed back to the Kearney training base on July 7th. The new head coach who communicated with them face to face for the first time thanked everyone for their selfless spirit After that, he gave another heavy hammer.He said that his purpose of taking over the team is to restore the glory of the old professor era, so if some players cannot meet his personal requirements or tactical concepts, it is not ruled out that the club will make personnel adjustments at any time.

Not to mention the psychological activities of the players at the time, but after the news was obtained by the outside world, many experts immediately jumped out and thought that Li Mudi had gone crazy.Although the stubborn disease needs to be cured by fierce fire, but such a reckless move has exceeded the necessary fire, and the situation of rushing to start a prairie fire has been developed, how can this be possible!

However, the situation that everyone predicted that Arsenal would be completely disintegrated did not appear, and with the retirement of time, the atmosphere in the team turned in a more and more awkward direction, which made the outside world feel very incredible.

When the "Sun" reporter blocked the Gabon striker "Beautiful Goat" in early August, trying to ask from the latter what kind of changes have taken place within the team in this short half month , the super striker who was still making noise about leaving the team last season responded with a smile that he likes the current atmosphere of Arsenal very much, and is more willing to continue to do his best for the honor of the fans and the team under the leadership of new coach Moody Lee .

Just two days after this question and answer appeared in the newspapers, Arsenal, which was in the first warm-up match of the new season, defeated the English League Two team Cheltenham 13-0 in the away game, showing amazing fighting spirit and combat effectiveness , and the performance during Emery's coaching period two and a half months ago is simply a different team.

With the passage of time, Arsenal players have gradually deepened their understanding of the new coach's tactics. After Li Moody adjusted the team's lineup with his decisive transfer strategy, the strength of the team is almost visible to the naked eye. speed is increasing.

And when the Gunners, who went to the final qualifying round of the European League on August 8, beat the Lithuanian domestic league champion Suduva with a score of 6-8 in an away game, the British media really realized that, The former Arsenal, which was able to wrestle with Manchester United under the old man, is likely to have returned.

At this time, the media began to praise the Kroenke family for finally waking up from their American wrong management methods. Some people even claimed that signing Li Moody would be the last move made by the Arsenal management after the change of ownership. Perfect decision.

While raising the expectations of the Gunners supporters for the new season, this kind of remarks also made Arsenal, which was not paid much attention by the championship group, become the key prevention target of Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and other teams. The season's Premier League was predicted to be the most competitive year in history before the start of the season.

As for Li Moody, who used the plug-ins provided by the FM system to integrate the team as quickly as possible, after he eliminated Suduwa 15-0 in the two rounds and easily advanced to the main match of the European League, he couldn't wait to start his team. British copy too.

The first game of the league is about to usher in the North London Derby, which has attracted much attention. It is not only a difficulty, but also an excellent opportunity to further enhance the team's momentum. Pull up moment comes.
