Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 717 Ups and downs
Juventus seldom make supplementary transfers in the winter. They are usually small troubles and minor repairs. Although Llorente’s contract is about to expire, Athletic Bilbao asks for 800 million euros, but his The market asking price is actually more than 2000 million and close to 3000 million.

In the year before last, his market price was around 3000 million euros, but now it has dropped. The reason is that since he wanted to leave Athletic Bilbao and refused to renew his contract, Athletic Bilbao had a very tough attitude and no longer regarded him as For the main center.

During the winter break, he wanted to leave, and Athletic Bilbao wanted to completely ban him. Athletic Bilbao harmed himself and Llorente.

Juventus's bid during the winter break was 400 million euros, which did not meet the requirements of Athletic Bilbao. In Juventus's view, the 400 million was reasonable, but Athletic Bilbao felt unreasonable.

The transfer window opened in January, and Juventus felt a little bit unbearable, so they increased their offer, intending to meet the requirements of Athletic Bilbao at once, but guess what.

Athletic Bilbao rejected the offer and refused to give Llorente's plan to Rust to Juventus. Their attitude has changed, and I don't know if Juventus procrastinated before agreeing to Bilbao. caused by competitive asking prices.

So now this matter is not discussed, Juventus weighed it again, and decided to sign Llorente in advance. There are many teams that want Llorente, but Juventus is the only giant that can play in the Champions League. The upward trend is obvious, which deeply moved Llorente, and the team's head coach Conte also called Llorente himself, hoping that he could join, and described the team's tactical system and Llorente's strategy to him. special role in the system.

Llorente has no hope of joining during the winter break. The reporters are very concerned about whether Juventus will continue to look for guns in the winter transfer market. Conte wants a serious center forward. Such a request is not a day It's been two days.

Recently, there have been some scandals, such as Drogba, Anelka, etc. Conte talked about Drogba's transfer rumors at the press conference after the must-win match with AC Milan. It's just that he and Marotta did talk about Drogba, but there is no news now.

But in fact, this deal has fallen through. Juventus chose Drogba because of Drogba's experience in the Champions League, and he is a monster, which can enrich Juventus's frontcourt skills and tactics, but Juventus Only want to offer a 6-month contract, which is completely inconsistent with Drogba's request, Drogba wants to return to the Europa League, he wants a 2-year contract, which is not what Juventus think the same.

If Drogba does not come, Llorente will be half a year away. The worse news is that after the Milan game, Bendtner was injured again in training and will be absent for at least 3 months. Personally, Zhang Yuan, Vucinic, Giovinco, Matri, Quagliarella, for Juventus who are used to double strikers and are fighting on the third line, the five strikers are actually a bit stretched. In this way, Juventus will not accept AC Milan's offer to Matri.

Juventus did not spend any effort to find a striker. Their purpose of looking for a striker in the winter is very simple. They must have experience and ability, and they can fight when they come. They can help Juventus, not new stars.

The scope of this kind of screening was originally small. As a result, before the winter transfer period started, Juventus had already declared that the search for guns was fruitless, and the personnel were just used.

Conte was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it. Juventus was not a rich club. They paid more attention to the balance of income and expenditure. They would continue to bleed for Zhang Yuan's transfer fee. It is obviously unrealistic to spend a lot of money to buy people during the winter break now.

Since the newcomer does not come, Matri can only stay. Juventus explained the reason to Milan and rejected Milan's offer to Matri.

Matri can only regret that he missed the opportunity to meet with his mentor Allegri, but his regret is not so sincere because of Zhang Yuan's instigation. After all, when it comes to opponents, Juventus is very hopeful to go further .

After playing Milan, Juventus challenged Parma in an away game. Everyone knows the wonderful story of Parma, but this season under the leadership of Donadoni, Parma played at an extraordinary level. You can think that Donadoni led Italy The national team was unsuccessful, but in terms of clubs, especially small clubs, he is actually very good. The morale and cohesion of the current Parma team are relatively high.

Sitting on his own home court, Parma's whole army worked hard to draw the mighty Juventus tenaciously with a score of 1:1.

Juventus was another game in which they gained momentum and did not score. Conte was very angry after the game, "We played very poorly today. We should have killed the game earlier, but we wasted too many opportunities. , I was a little distracted at the last moment, and the score was equalized by the opponent. I am very dissatisfied with the team's performance! We should learn the lesson of this game next!"

Another old problem, without shooting boots, Parma goalkeeper Mirante made 8 saves, Zhang Yuan made exactly 8 shots by himself today, all methods were exhausted, but he couldn’t score a single goal, Parma Today, he did not do enough to restrict Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan's own state is really worrying.

Donadoni was satisfied with the draw and praised Mirant after the game, "Our opponent is not easy. I am very happy to have achieved a draw. We did not do a good job in restricting Zhang Yuan today. He got a lot of chances but Antonio played really well and he gave a lot for today's point! Of course the rest of us had a good game too! I'm very happy with the lads!"

After the winter break, Juventus started with one loss and one draw, and Lazio and Naples immediately caught up. They were only 3 points away from Juventus, and the suspense of the league championship returned.

Conte has a headache. According to his plan, how he hopes to take advantage of the opportunity to further widen the point gap with the following teams in January when there are no distractions from other games, but the reality is cruel. His team has lost the chain .

In the last post-match press conference, Conte bluntly said that Zhang Yuan's shot was a mistake. Zhang Yuan was not so accepting. After this retraining, Conte criticized Zhang Yuan very rudely on the training ground.

"Zhang Yuan, your state is not good, you have to find the right rhythm! We need you to score goals, you look at your current ups and downs, this state is not good for the second half of the season! You have to Seriously adjust your state!"

Zhang Yuan can't quibble this time. His shooting is really bad. Maybe it's because of a strong opponent against Milan. The fewer opportunities he has, the more he can grasp it. When facing the underdogs, his mentality is a bit wrong. The choice is not very wise.

Conte bluntly pointed out that you should not play football like this or that way. Zhang Yuan humbly accepted Conte's criticism, and he also assured Conte that he would adjust himself.

Not only Conte was criticizing him, but Mikhailovich, who hadn't contacted him for a long time, also called.

"Zhang Yuan, what the hell are you doing on the field?! What are you doing?! You're playing too impatiently!"

Too impatient is Zhang Yuan's current state. After being shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award, Zhang Yuan fell into a state of impatience. He wanted to express himself well. For him, scoring goals is an excellent opportunity to prove himself. He wants to score goals, and when facing strong opponents, he can be more rational in his choices, but when facing underdogs, his head is inevitably eager to make achievements, and haste makes waste, which is the true portrayal of him now .

"You should calmly think about where your problem lies. You can't start the second half in this state, you know?!"

Mikhailovich only knew that he was too impatient, but he didn't know the reason. He warned Zhang Yuan to put his mentality in order and base it on the interests of the team. Otherwise, what's the use of expressing yourself on the court? !
