Mister Legend

Chapter 548
It is the annual March [-]th Women's Day, but there is basically no celebration atmosphere in several famous European football cities, except for Turin, the important city in northern Italy.Although half of it looks like sea water, it looks calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging underneath, but the other half is as hot and fierce as a flame, because the man from the Celestial Dynasty who once brought them infinite good memories has returned.

The Turin team is in very good form this season. Not only did they lead the standings with two points in the league, but they also successfully reached the quarter-finals in the Champions League. Gasperini's status in the hearts of fans has temporarily been comparable to that of the The legendary coach Luigi Ferrero, who led the team to win two consecutive Serie A titles in the two seasons of 1945-47, opened the era of the dominance of the God team.

However, when Li Moody led Arsenal to Caselle Airport, he still saw the touching scene of thousands of Turin fans coming to pick him up. From the banners that everyone pulled up, he felt that he lived and worked in this city The embodiment of the true value of three years, the mood will inevitably be excited.

It’s just that due to the urgent consideration of airport security and the time for the team to check into the hotel, he failed to communicate with those who still support him as much as he wished, so he had to express his gratitude by bowing from a distance.

Not only these lovely fans, the old club Turin Club also opened the door to Li Mudi and the Gunners. Not only did they provide them with a practice field where they could train at any time, they also privately took out the latest Juventus information to The visiting Arsenal coaching staff for reference, is really a hospitable host who can score full marks.

Of course, these so-called first-hand information are dispensable to Li Moody. With the FM system plug-in in hand, all the ecstasy and smoke bombs played by Conte and his old woman are like paper. Like a magic trick, it will be dismantled with a light poke.

Juventus is in a low period after seven consecutive Serie A championships. Although they have finally fulfilled their Champions League dream for more than 20 years after the introduction of Ronaldo, this football superman is not from the planet Krypton after all. He can only delay as much as possible. But it was powerless to stop the influence of Old Man Time.

Born in February 1985, a generation of quasi-ball champions, at the age of 2, still failed to continue the legend to the end. Having lost his explosive power, he could no longer bring endless fear to the opposing defender at the center position That's right, apart from the little tricks to get rid of in place and the incomparably rich experience, the fans can't ask for more.

So Juventus introduced Icardi last summer, raised the salary and renewed the young player Moise Keane, and let Ronaldo sit on the bench for almost the entire season for the first time after entering the Portuguese sports first team in the 2002-03 season. Teammates fighting, this is really not a reality that people, especially president fans, can accept.

That's why Ronaldo's old partner Mendes announced during the winter break on behalf of his client that the Portuguese legend, whose contract is about to expire, will leave Italy after the end of the season and return to his home country to continue to seek the fun of playing football , aroused people's infinite sigh.

Coincidentally, Messi, who is two years younger than him and one of the peerless twins, was also revealed by the Spanish media this winter that he is likely to go to the United States to start a new career after this season.If this is the reality, then for those fans who were born after the end of the 80s, the upcoming summer will obviously be a catastrophe for them. I really don’t know what kind of commemorative activities will appear at that time. Now that I think about it, I'm still looking forward to it.

However, since Icardi's injury made him miss the two rounds of confrontation with the Gunners, Conte can only choose one of the two as the center forward, although he has been answering questions from the media and refused to say who will be the starter. Make a clear reply, but if there are Juventus scouts who can break through many obstacles and secretly take pictures of Arsenal's tactical lessons, then I believe that the old lady will frown, because the defensive strategy of the English team is obviously aimed at Moore. Isai Keene came to formulate.

In fact, in terms of tactical style, the Bianconeri, which must strive to win at home, naturally needs a center who can pose a certain threat to the opponent's defense in positional battles. Among the completely different forwards, Ronaldo, who has more strength and experience, is naturally more suitable to start.However, the FM system clearly shows that the president's recent competitive state is not very good. Even though he only came off the bench for less than 15 minutes in the league last weekend and retained enough physical fitness, he still failed to adjust his state. return.

Facing the crucial first-leg battle of whether he could advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League, even the passionate Conte did not dare to take huge risks to bet that Ronaldo could suddenly regain the feeling under his feet in the game, so he chose Keane, who is in good condition, is the only answer, and Li Moody is still very convinced of this.

Sure enough, when the starting lineups of the two sides were announced half an hour before the game, the prediction of the Gunners coach was confirmed, which also brought great confidence to his players, because they thought they had done enough preparations to deal with it Still relatively easy.

Although Keane, who was born in 2000, is only 22 years old, he has just entered the first stable period of ability according to the normal player growth curve, and there is still a certain distance from the peak.But there are exceptions to everything. This young striker whose parents are Ivorians is recognized by the FM system as having a potential value of 182, which is higher than the Milan double stars Cutrone and Pinamonti. Only Pellegri can match him shoulder to shoulder.

From the scouting tool Li Moody used on December 12 last year, it can be known that the Juventus striker's current ability has reached 31, which is the highest among the four, and the growth rate is also the largest since the scouting half a year ago .If he continues to develop at this speed, he will reach the peak in less than two years and become the strongest of all Italian forwards.

For now, Keane's advantages are excellent off-ball running, flexibility, good dribbling ability and finishing touches. Henry is somewhat similar.

And the height of 1.8 meters [-] is also given by his parents. He has a super strong physique that is not weaker than that of Drogba and Ronaldo at their peak. He is very resistant to exercise, rarely gets injured, and he recovers faster than normal people. African ancestry is indeed very powerful.

It’s just that his weakness is also obvious. Teamwork and work input are only 10 (full value 20), and the speed does not reflect the advantages of blacks. The middle can only be counted as the middle and lower grades.

In addition, as a center forward, Keane still lacks the ability to hold the ball with his back and the courage to confront the opponent's tall central defender head-on. This has also become the target of Li Moody's key layout.

For the home team, Conte's 4-3-3 lineup has nothing new except for the center position. The double forwards of Douglas Gesta and Bernardeschi are already the most basic configuration. Midfielder Piani Qi and Bentancur's starting lineup is also not unexpected, and the replacement for Milinkovic-Savic is the Frenchman Tolisso who just joined from Bayern last summer. The lineup still looks very strong. .

After the opening game, Juventus showed the momentum of the home game. The players ran very actively, and the tactics were mainly passing and controlling the ball. Although they did not directly attack Arsenal, with the support of nearly [-] fans at the scene, Still firmly controlled the initiative on the court.

However, Li Moody was not stupid enough to want to play against at the Allianz Arena. He still emphasized the stability of the defense and arranged for Ndidi and Torreira to start together as two defensive midfielders. Break through the middle of the dead opponent and drive the ball as far as possible to the two sides.Under the joint marking of the three central defenders of Llorente, Harry Maguire and Mustafi, Kean's immature personal assault could not even make a splash. Juventus's only offensive that could create a little threat It is the inside cut of the two wingers, but it is still difficult to find the best rhythm under the special target.

Throughout the first half, Conte's team occupied 71% of the ball possession. In terms of shooting statistics, they were 10 of 3 and 3 of 1, far ahead, but they never really threatened Leno once.The loss of Savage and Icardi, who were at their peak, would have a great impact on the entire team, and they no longer have such immediate combat power as Mandzukic and Dybala on the bench. It's hard to adjust.

As far as the depth of the current bench is concerned, Arsenal’s advantage is not only at 01:30. Li Moody has always pursued the concept of team building that everyone plays football and everyone plays the game. Although it is only a small success, But compared to those coaches who use a set of main players to dominate the world and rotate no more than five players, they are indeed much stronger.Even Conte is not the kind of rigid person, but the two core players are currently injured, and the situation in the domestic and European games is very urgent, so he can only insist on letting the main players play more, so that after 75 minutes of the game, as The home team, which dominated the attacking side, failed to gain any advantage in terms of physical strength.

And when the Gunners coach suddenly blew the counterattack horn at this time, there was something that the Juventus players couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm on the field, which made the commentators from various countries who broadcast the game live sighed that things were not good for the home team.

But the defensive ability of Conte's team is unquestionable. Even if Chiellini retires and Bonucci leaves the team for retirement, he can still use Rugani and Mourinho, who are not well trained by Allegri. The good Lindelof and others kneaded together a powerful defense line. Facing the sudden attacking group of Arsenal, they did not panic at all. Lin's conservative goal clean sheet.

And when both sides were unable to create any threat on the offensive end, the time passed minute by minute until the first minute of stoppage time, and commentators from many countries have begun to play with the result of a goalless draw between the two sides. Ending commentary, Beracino's cross helped Arsenal get their third and final corner of the game.

In Li Moody's arrangement, only two of the three tall central defenders will step forward to participate in the team's set-piece attack. Considering that Harry Maguire has the height advantage of the highest altitude in the game, he occupies one of them, and the other The second position is Mustafi, who is more powerful, and Llorente will stay in the backcourt with Ndidi and other two teammates to prevent the opponent's possible counterattack.

But this time it was Maguire and Llorente who stood in front of the home team's goal. The German central defender's header today felt very ordinary. Bo sprinted, and now his legs were still a little weak, so he took the initiative to give up the opportunity to go forward and let his teammates try their luck in the opponent's penalty area.

Due to the frequent foul actions of players from both sides pulling jerseys or even hugging each other before the kick-off, the referee had to whistle twice to stop the game and stepped forward to warn.This made it so that when Barco kicked the ball out of the corner, the time had come to No. 903 minutes and a half, that is, the last 30 seconds of stoppage time.

The penalty was fast and had a very high arc. It went straight to the back of the goal, where the 1.9-meter-four Maguire stood.Rugani, who is four centimeters shorter than him, tightly entangled the England international. At the same time, Bentancur, who is not short, is also flanking him. It is necessary not to make a fatal mistake in this corner kick defense.

However, Maguire's strength advantage showed its power at this time. He was the first to touch the incoming ball with his forehead when he was interfered by the opponent's two defensive players and even imposed some concealed foul actions, and he also successfully served the ball. With all the strength, it's just that the direction of the header is out of control.

However, I don't know whether it was the help of the goddess of luck or Li Mudi finally activated the metaphysics skills like his good friend Qi Zu. Llorente, who hadn't reacted yet, went straight to the inside of the right post of the goal.

This kind of weird rebounding method and trajectory is obviously not something that Palin, who doesn't have any plug-ins, can stop. His face turned pale in an instant, and the words MMP probably appeared in his heart.

The Juventus fans in the field were also hit by this unexpected conceded goal. Seeing that less than [-] British fans accompanying the team cheered happily in front of their eyes for several seconds, they began to counterattack.

Only after Arsenal's celebration ended, the home team, which failed to create a good chance immediately after kick-off, still waited for the whistle to end the game, which made the old lady's road to promotion even more difficult.

With a lucky goal at the last moment, Li Moody ended his trip to Turin with a small victory and a huge psychological advantage. He couldn't be more satisfied with the result.
