Mister Legend

Chapter 587 Not a Smooth Integration

Haverts, who was born in 1999, is one of the hottest football stars in the world today. In addition to having the characteristics of the Germans' unique tallness and good header, he also has the delicate skills comparable to South American players. With the advantages of being able to play multiple positions such as attacking midfielder and central midfielder, it is no wonder that the German media predicted many years ago that he would become the leader of the new generation of German tanks.

Previously, the outside world believed that Havertz's template was Ballack, but as the players' abilities matured, people suddenly discovered that the judgment that was bold enough at the beginning turned out to be a bit conservative.Judging from his amazing passing skills, even Ballack can't reach this level at his peak, especially that sharp short-distance direct pass like a scalpel, which is quite Rui Kos The style of traditional organizing masters such as Tower and Riquelme.

The left foot of the core of the German national team seems to have magical powers. To use a badly used saying to evaluate it, it is really possible to play the violin.

Compared with those attacking midfielders belonging to the previous era, Haverts is obviously more in line with the requirements of modern football concepts. He is all-round and has special skills, outstanding physical fitness, and is not afraid of high-intensity confrontation; It is better than competing for high-altitude balls, sending key passes, and being able to take the ball and run in counterattacks. Except for the lack of experience, it is almost comparable to De Bruyne.

Considering that he will not celebrate his 2025th birthday in June 26, the golden period has just begun. It is definitely not a lie from the media to say that this German will rule football for the next five or six years.

That's why Bayern Munich once again attacked their "training base" three years ago, dug it into their account at a very cost-effective price, and it has been rumored that Manchester City, Juventus and other giants The news that Haverts is interested, even Real Madrid considered introducing this star during Guti's coaching period.

But having an idea is one thing, and taking actual action is another.Although it can be said that it is a king-level existence in the Bundesliga, it is still unknown in the eyes of the outside world how strong its adaptability to other leagues is.Moreover, it is not an easy task to poach Bayern's corner. Even if the three old foxes, Beckenbauer and Hoeness, have retired one after another, the new generation of management is not good at it. Due to their distinguished status in world football, they have indeed been the only ones who have poached players from others for many years, and they have rarely been poached.

However, Barcelona, ​​which has already felt a great sense of crisis, took the risk without any other better options, and took away the core midfielder of the Bundesliga hegemony by paying liquidated damages, which made the relationship between the two clubs difficult. I became more and more nervous.

But at least Harvey's goal has been achieved. The dual-core configuration of Haverts and Artur can maximize the team's offensive potential. Under the strategy of being unable or unwilling to strengthen the defense, use super strong pass control And offensive ability to defeat all opponents, this is the truth that the Catalan giants have been pursuing since the establishment of the team, and the previous three peak periods were also established on this concept. "The embryonic form of the Dream Team [-]", after the deal was finalized, the local media began to eagerly publish their infinite vision for the future.

After both reinforcements were made, mainstream football players around the world have raised their assessments of the strength of the top two players in the Western Super League. The domestic arena brought them extremely strong combat power.So the gaming company slightly adjusted the winning odds of the two teams in La Liga and the Champions League, especially the former, which can be said to be far ahead of other opponents by a huge advantage.

With great expectations for the two giants, people waited for the start of the second half of the season. Due to the formal confirmation of the transfer time and the integration into the new environment, Pellegri and Havertz obviously could not be on the 4th. Playing on behalf of the new club that night, this also made the game that day did not receive much attention, but it did not affect the result of both Real Madrid and Barcelona winning easily.

Li Moody led the team to an expedition to the Canary Islands, an enclave outside the Spanish mainland, and came to challenge the La Liga team Las Palmas, which had been relegated for two consecutive years.Although the journey was tiring, the players have recovered their physical fitness after more than a week of rest and adjustment, so they have not been greatly affected by this aspect.It's just that the training time after returning from vacation is obviously insufficient, so the movements on the court are still a little blunt. Fortunately, the situation of the opponent is the same, so the advantage is still quite obvious.

After 65 minutes, Real Madrid, which had already achieved a three-goal lead, made continuous personnel adjustments. Three young players from the youth training, Solzano, Elias and Zori, had the opportunity to play one after another, announcing that the remaining time had been taken by Li Moody. It's training.

In the end, although the home team pulled back a goal, the 3-1 score in the away game can completely relax the few fans who are worried that the Galacticos will overturn in the gutter, unless all the players from the reserve team are discharged from the Bernabeu a week later. Otherwise, the probability of advancing to the quarterfinals is still higher than 99%.

It is worth mentioning that after the game, Li Moody did not go back to the hotel directly as usual, but went to the home of his former disciple Jesse as a guest and enjoyed a Spanish-style dinner full of island style.

After returning to the Bernabeu for the Nth time in the summer of 2018, the local winger who was hailed as the "King of Heqiu" by the Meilingers in the past suffered a serious injury for the N+1st time in his personal career. After that, he, who lived up to his bravery in his youth, could no longer gain a foothold with his mother team.

Judging from the data obtained by using scouting tools back then, Jesse, whose current ability has dropped to around 135, is obviously no longer qualified to wear that white jersey, and it is even difficult to obtain it among all the top European teams. What a chance, I had to return to my hometown team Las Palmas on a free transfer in the second year, at the age of 26, which was supposed to shine.

After spending a night full of nostalgia and sighs, the Real Madrid coach returned to Madrid with mixed emotions, continuing to use busy work tasks to prevent himself from entering the atmosphere of past sadness.

In addition to the recovery and adjustment of Real Madrid, Li Mudi is still paying attention to Coventry's signing operation this winter.Scholes's performance in the first half of the season after leading the Sky Blues to the promotion is still worthy of recognition, but the performance fluctuates a bit too much. In such a fiercely competitive Premier League, he can complete two consecutive victories. It is very rare for a newly promoted horse, but a wave of four consecutive losses and a wave of five rounds without victory is enough to make the team's ranking unable to appear in a better position.

As of the beginning of the winter break in the UK, Coventry temporarily ranked No.6 in the standings with a record of 2 wins, 11 draws and 11 losses. It looks good, but there is still a huge gap from the European theater. Instead, it is the same as relegation The circles are closer together.In the League Cup, they also failed to advance to the fourth round and were eliminated early.

Of course, the club's top management did not formulate rigid performance indicators other than relegation for the first season of returning to the top league after a lapse of 24 years, so judging from Scholes' current leadership results, it can still make most of them People are satisfied.

However, several newcomers who were originally expected to perform poorly, aroused the great attention of Li Mudi and others, especially the few local potential stocks suggested by the Real Madrid coach back then, no matter in terms of technical ability or mentality. It is good to prepare for the level of the Premier League, so Coventry will choose to make a larger lineup adjustment this winter, hoping to have enough strength to deal with the more brutal second half.

Although the operator of this adjustment is Jiangtou, it is his own club after all, Li Modi will still hide from a distance and pay close attention, even if he will not say a word during the whole process.

Fortunately, his professional ethics is still trustworthy, and he will not let "private work" affect his work, so Real Madrid's state quickly returned from the ease of the winter break to a level sufficient to deal with strong enemies .

Asensio's injury was basically fully recovered at the end of December. During this holiday, he specially conducted extra training in private. A group of players, so they won the starting qualification in the No.8 away game against Racing Santander on the 18th.

What makes the fans even more happy is that the team's first captain Varane is also recovering very well. Under the nourishment of the head coach's external aura, he may be able to start all-round training with the team this weekend. It has greatly relieved the team's pressure on deploying the lineup, which is a good sign.

So in this very relaxed atmosphere, the Meilingers began to make more demands, that is, they hope that new aid Manuel Pellegri can make an appearance on behalf of Real Madrid as soon as possible, so that everyone can enjoy the Italian international at close range. The kind of brilliant goals you'll remember for a long time while you're in France.

It's just that their wish didn't come true until the game full of "garbage time" between Galacticos and Las Palmas on January 1. Real Madrid defeated Racing Santander in the league in the past week. And Malaga, although from the point of view of the score, they are both small victories with two goals, not as popular as Barcelona, ​​which has won two consecutive games with a big score, but the process is relatively easy, as expected before the game.

Therefore, before the start of each game, many Real Madrid fans will call on Li Mudi to put Pellegri on the bench, so that the latter can make an appearance in the second half without affecting the outcome of the game, and at the same time adapt to the new La Liga. Environment, but always disappointed.

And when the Italian's name appeared in the squad for the Copa del Rey match, it attracted the attention of countless people and even helped the team sell out the remaining tickets. (PS: When the Copa del Rey is played against a team that is far inferior to your own, even though the ticket price has been greatly reduced compared to the league, the Bernabéu is still rarely full in this case)
It’s just that there is as much disappointment as hope. Even when the score reached 4-0, all the fans of the home team were calling Pellegri’s name in unison, but Li Moody was still indifferent and did not satisfy everyone’s wishes. Many people who hate it have itchy teeth.

As a result, four days later, when the No.20 league game played against the Espanyol at home, the Italian striker was not included in the 18-man roster at all. The public anger caused by Li Moody seemed to have intensified again.

However, it will be ten years since he was reborn, and he has been practicing as a head coach for so long. In terms of thick-skinned—no, it is because of his mentality of not being happy with things but not saddening himself, Li Mudi is really a master. Ignore the criticism of the outside world at all, but strictly require the players in daily training, and strive to maintain the team's state at a relatively peak position.

In the face of the media's constant questioning, he also said very frankly that the reason why he was not in a hurry to send new aid to the field was because Pellegri had not yet formed a high degree of tacit understanding with the team, and rashly playing would be a big hit. Everything is looking good right now.

It's just that not many people believe the answer of the Real Madrid coach. In theory, the more trust is needed to integrate into the team as soon as possible, the more he should be allowed to play in more official games to find the feeling.After all, the atmosphere of training and competition is very different. Only in front of real opponents can a better opportunity be stimulated to find a common rhythm with the new team, or to expose problems that were not clearly visible, so as to find solutions. Method.

This is completely opposite to Li Moody's approach, so not many people will believe his words.

Moreover, Havertz on Barcelona's side quickly appeared in the starting lineup, and played a wonderful performance in the second game, which also formed a sharp contrasting example, making the outside world wonder what is in the gourd of the Real Madrid coach. What kind of medicine are they selling.The Catalan media even believed that this was probably a trap set up by Li Moody, who wanted to confuse other competitors, and then suddenly used this secret weapon to catch everyone by surprise.

However, Li Moody did not play any tricks this time. Pellegri did have a major incompatibility problem with the team, which caused his debut to be delayed.

According to the original plan of the Real Madrid coach, the Italian joined Real Madrid to fully replace or even surpass the role played by Villalivre in the team before, that is, to complete the containment of the opponent's central defender to create room for teammates to move, and to be in the opponent's penalty area in the positional battle. However, considering that he has just moved to a new environment and needs time to adapt, the requirements for the first stage are not very high, and Pellegri can handle them with his ability. It's definitely more than enough.

But the player himself is a perfectionist, always hoping to contribute all the things he is good at, so in training, he frequently used the retreat to take the ball and personal breakthroughs that he often used when he was playing for Paris , which caused him a lot of trouble in cooperating with his new teammates.

Although reminded by his mentor, he has already started to slowly try to change his habitual behavior, but it took a lot of time. This is why Li Mudi does not want the outside world to criticize his new aid after he sees his poor performance. Protected by delaying his appearance.

Fortunately, with the addition of the medal halo and the cooperation of the golfers, coupled with Pellegri's own efforts, he finally found a temporary balance at the time of the handover in mid-to-late January, and his debut date was also confirmed. It has been confirmed: the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals against Celta at home on the 22nd.
