Mister Legend

Chapter 41 A Nice Birthday Present

The harvest of using the scouting tool this time is really unexpected. In addition to the regular query information, it actually helped Real Madrid solve a big problem in advance.As for Qi Zu's respect value being directly full, Li Mudi really didn't think it was a big deal, after all, judging from the relationship between the two of them, there would be such a day sooner or later.At this time, Li Mudi was still unclear. Qi Zu told Lafayette about it after the game, so that Lafayette remembered him in his heart. Later, when a team invited him to coach, he made a decision on liquidated damages The huge concession allowed Li Modi to get a further opportunity relatively smoothly.

In the King's Cup away game against Cadiz, Zizou used some rotation players, of course Cheryshev was excluded.As a result, facing the teams in the West Division B, the performance of these substitutes who rarely had the opportunity to play was not satisfactory. The score of 3-1 can only be said to be quite satisfactory.But fortunately, it has laid a good foundation for advancing to the next round, making Real Madrid eligible to continue to struggle on the three fronts.

In the league weekend, Real Madrid will play against Getafe at home. Since Benzema has just returned from injury, and next week will be the last round of the Champions League group stage, Zizou, after discussing with his friends, put Mu Bappé was promoted to the first team and promised to give him no less than 20 minutes of playing time.In this regard, Li Mudi readily agreed. After all, La Liga opponents can provide young people with better experience accumulation. Even if it is only 20 minutes, it is better than playing a full game in the third tier league.

On Saturday, December 12th, at 5:20, Castilla will be a guest at the Nuevo Silvestre Carrillo Stadium to challenge the No.00 CD Mensajero in the league.

Mensajero is arguably one of the most troublesome opponents in this group, not because of strength, but because of its location.The city where the team is located is called Santa Cruz de La Palma (Santa Cruz de La Palma), the capital of the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands (Canarias).The Canary Islands is located in the Atlantic Ocean in the southwest of Morocco. It is one of the seventeen autonomous regions of Spain. It is an enclave and one of the most extended special areas of the European Union. It is 1100 kilometers away from the Spanish mainland and only 130 kilometers away from the west coast of Africa.There are also several professional teams in this autonomous region, the more famous ones are Tenerife and Las Palmas. Every time a local Spanish team comes here to play an away game, it takes 1 hours to 2 hours. The plane, and the time it takes to go to other European countries are almost the same.

In terms of the time spent by plane alone, it may be shorter than the time spent by bus in some games, but several large islands in the Canary Islands are almost all volcanic islands. There is a lot of time that is shrouded in thick fog, and the safety factor of aircraft take-off and landing is very small.The most deadly air disaster in human history occurred on March 1977, 3 at Tenerife's Los Rodeo Airport, when two Boeing 27 passenger planes collided, killing 747 people.This makes many people feel terrified and nervous when they fly to the Canary Islands.

Of course, the luck of ordinary people is not so bad, the possibility of catching up with the air crash is not too great, at least Castile and Li Moody arrived at the competition venue very smoothly.

Castilla's starting lineup for this game: goalkeeper Yanez, right back Forlan, center backs Hector and Leon, left back Abner, center backs Odegaard and Toro, midfielder Enzo , Right winger Alvaro, left winger pull left, center Mariano.Except for Mbappe, all the main players played.

The formation of the home team Mensajero is 4-4-1-1. The core of the team is the left midfielder Juanda and the striker Yere. With 17 goals, he is tied for second place in the league scorer list with Mariano and Mbappe, and his strength cannot be underestimated.

After the opening game, Mensagello took advantage of the home court to organize the offensive first, and also had an advantage in the midfield fight, while Castilla's ability to intercept and steal in the midfield was really average, and several small group sieges Neither had a good effect, allowing the opponent to create two shot opportunities.In addition, the home team's defensive counterattack is also very impressive. Whenever the Castilian player kicks a pass that is slanted forward and is intercepted by them, they quickly move forward on the spot, trying to seize the strength of the visiting team's defense. Not strong gap.After being counterattacked several times in a row, Castilla also reduced the processing of through balls that easily lead to mistakes, and the normal tactical coordination faced the relatively stable defensive system of the home team. There are no good opportunities.The two sides immediately fell into a stalemate. At the end of the half, the two sides were evenly divided in terms of possession rate and number of shots, and no one was able to take advantage.

After the opening of the second half, there was also mutual offense and defense, but the shots formed were not very good opportunities. At least the two teams did a good job defensively.

What finally determines the outcome of the game is the player's personal ability. During this period of time, Mariano, who has made rapid progress in the active team competition, received a pass from Enzo in the penalty area in the No. 606 minute. The fake action shook the defender away, and he scored a goal with a strong shot, allowing Castilla to score all three points in this round of the league with a score of 1-0, and continued to maintain a 9-point lead in the standings.

In addition to the hard work of the coaching staff and players, good luck is also a factor that cannot be ignored for the team to achieve such excellent results in the competition so far.Castilla's injuries can be said to be the least among all teams in the third quarter of the league.But in today's game, luck made a joke with Li Mudi.The three players replaced by the visiting team were all passive responses due to injuries.Fran contused his right hand, Toro's brow bone was shattered, and Enzo's right leg ligament showed some signs of strain. These three consecutive injuries almost caused Li Moody's blood pressure to rise to 180 on the sidelines. Fortunately, the post-match inspection Not too bad news was given: Fran only needs to be injured for about ten days; Toro has no signs of concussion, has seven stitches on his brow bone, and can compete in a week; and Enzo's injury is the worst. It is heavy, but it only needs two weeks of training, and the number of absentee games is very limited.

After receiving the test results from the local hospital in Santa Cruz, Li Moody did not go back to the hotel to rest, but flew back to Mallorca overnight.His 32nd birthday is next week, and because he needs to lead the team to practice, he had to use the rest day after the game to go back to his parents to celebrate in advance.In fact, it is not considered a birthday. There is no birthday custom at this age in Tianchao’s hometown. It’s just that Li Mudi’s parents went back to China to visit relatives. The family of three have not seen each other for more than a month. Take advantage of this opportunity. have a meal. ——Well, this is the main reason, he is indeed greedy.

Just when Li Mudi's family was preparing to have a feast at night, the person in charge of the PBTV football department who had left his contact information before sent a link to the video he had taken for Lin Liangming earlier, which contained many scenes of Li Mudi.As soon as the old couple heard that their son was on a TV show, even though they were explained that it was on the Internet and had nothing to do with TV, they still didn't even care about the meal, so they threw down their chopsticks and asked Li Modi to open the video on the computer.Although China's football plays very badly, it has to be said that its football program is very good. CCTV's "World Football" and the old version of "Football Night" are classics among the classics. Most of the football topics are well received by the audience.The video sent this time shows Lin Liangming's daily state in Castile very realistically, without adding excessive sensationalism and unreliable expectations. Just like a documentary, from waking up in the morning, eating breakfast, training, Playing around with teammates, until the night before the break, is recorded very straightforwardly.The commentator is Wang Tao, who quit CCTV before. He is the commentator of the Chinese version of the football game played by Lin Liangming and Li Mudi, and his voice is very distinctive.

The whole film lasts 33 minutes and a half, the protagonist Lin Liangming who goes abroad the most is naturally, and only the compatriot boss Li Moody, whose nationality is not Chinese, is the undisputed second male number.In the morning, he was joking with the players in the restaurant, in the morning he arranged tactics for everyone in the training ground, and in the evening, Xiao Linzi occasionally asked him to play a few football games in the apartment.Especially in the last few minutes of the movie, when Xiao Linzi started the FedEx Cup match live, Li Mudi stood on the sidelines in a suit and pointed out the country's arrogance -- this was his own interpretation, which made his impression in the hearts of the Chinese people greatly improved. deepening.Since Lin Liangming participated in overseas competitions at a very low level, he was not very popular before, but this feature film on PBTV not only brought him a higher degree of recognition, but also indirectly made Li Modi popular in the fan circle. A familiar face.Although we can't talk about idols and future hopes, at least we all know that there is someone like him, which has laid a good foundation for his future fans. That said, it can undoubtedly be called a good birthday present.

Of course, what makes him happier than this gift is food.Pork-wrapped meat, boiled pork slices, ground three delicacies... Li Modi's stomach is going to burst from eating. It is conservatively estimated that after this meal, he will gain at least 1 kg in weight.

In the La Liga tonight, Real Madrid defeated Getafe 4-1 at home. Mbappe replaced Benzema, who had already scored twice, in the No. 607 minute of the second half. His performance was good, although he failed to score or Assists, but a few dribbles and shots still showed strength, adding a little weight to his ability to stay in the regular rotation.

Castilla's next game is Thursday's FedEx Cup first-round second leg at home to Pontevedra, after a 2-0 away game almost gave them a ticket to advance.So in this game, Li Moody still intends to use substitute players to play, and even came up with the idea of ​​playing football manager games before: as long as the substitute players perform well, they will always be used to start in the cup. Can use the honor of the championship to motivate these lads who rarely play in the league, the rookie coach does not want Castilla to be as complaining and dissatisfied as the current first team.
