Mister Legend

Chapter 411 Possibility of leaving the team?
The outside world does not know that the chairman of Turin has moved the idea of ​​​​building a new stadium, so naturally he will not know the various incidents between him and the team's head coach, but simply write about the situation where the two seem to have a good talk. In the report, he described to readers that the pair who brought new life to the Red Bulls are still very close.Then he predicted whether a new contract was about to be reached, or some important transfer was about to appear, anyway, it was groundless YY.

However, the descriptions of the media are indeed reliable. The purpose of Urbano Cairo inviting Li Mudi to dinner is to resolve the knot in the hearts of both parties.The chairman of Turin knows that the main prerequisite for the club to continue to develop at a high speed is that the team's performance must be good enough, so as to gain the support of more fans, reap greater economic benefits, and enhance the status of the club in the football circle.If the results return to the state of Ventura's coaching period, then the new stadium becomes a pipe dream and can only be a laughing stock for everyone.

And the reason why this Turin team has undergone a radical change in just two years, even if Urbano Cairo doesn't want to fully admit it in his heart, Li Mudi's contribution is indeed the biggest .It was he who formed a first-team team with excellent combat effectiveness when the transfer fee was not sufficient, allowing the Red Bulls, who could only barely rank among the mid-range teams in Serie A, to quickly reach the top of the standings, and there is still a lot to do. Hope to get the first Champions League ticket in more than 40 years.The domestic cup has also entered the final, and the European league has advanced to the top eight. This result can be said to be very impressive. If it is not for the yellow skin, perhaps this 34-year-old coach has already surpassed the coaching world. The title of future leader is on his head.

More importantly, Li Moody used his super accurate vision to recruit a group of extremely talented young players, rejuvenated the already fading youth academy, and truly found the most suitable path for the team's future development .This is even more terrifying. You know, in modern times, only Ferguson has transformed the Red Devils into a top giant by virtue of Manchester United's 92 golden generation. The explosion of this batch of youth training by Tower and Messi confirmed the name of the world's giants (Barcelona, ​​which had only one Champions League champion before, was indeed not high), and other "young player mentors" such as Wenger failed to make Arsenal To the point where he dominates the world while his own youth training takes the lead.

Of course, the situation of Turin's youth training can only be regarded as reaching the level of the Gunners ten years ago, that is, the gathering of talents.In the latest masterpiece FM2018 game launched by SI at the end of last year, the potential value of players from all over the world was set, and the many -9 and -8 in the Turin youth team really blinded the players' golden eyes and became the most popular game. A gathering place for concerned monsters.Although no one can predict how far these talented young men will grow in the future, after all, there are too many examples of hurting Zhongyong, but at least their chances of success are far greater than those talented mediocre player.Li Moody has achieved the ultimate that he can do. No matter whether these players can develop smoothly, it will not damage his status in discovering young people.

If there are still some coaches who can lead the Turin team under the current lineup to achieve good results, but if the impact on the development of youth training is added, then Li Mudi can be said to be the most suitable coach for this team at the moment, even Mu Bird Or if Qi Zu came, it would almost certainly not be as popular as the former.In addition, because of his existence, it can also attract a large number of Chinese companies to provide sponsorship.

Although with the excellent performance of the team, the club has become a favorite in the eyes of many sponsors. In the past two months, more than 20 world-renowned European and American companies intend to form a partnership with the Red Bull.However, the high sponsorship fee from the local tyrants of the Chinese Dynasty is still a large amount of income that cannot be ignored. Even though because of the exclusivity of business, many Chinese companies will definitely be replaced by larger European and American companies in the future, but at least in this For two years, the Turin club had to count on the "charity" of the "Chinese fathers".

Therefore, Urbano Cairo does not want to break with Li Moody, whether it is from the perspective of the team or from the perspective of commercial interests. A head coach with no low status.

During this sumptuous dinner, the Chairman of Turin, who was once again nominated as one of the top [-] most successful businessmen in Italy at the end of last year, showed an attitude that was not insincere.He took the initiative to explain to the team coach his vision of the new stadium and the general plan for it, which was more detailed than in the daytime meeting, and determined that this plan will not be implemented within two or three years.Then he assured Li Moody that the funds that the team can use in the transfer market will not be reduced, and the previously promised salary structure adjustments will continue to be implemented, and all matters related to the team will still be determined by the head coach. system.

However, Cairo also hopes that Li Moody can stand up and support his plan to build a new stadium when the time is right. He believes that after two or three years of training, those talents in the youth training camp are likely to grow into qualified players. The main force of the first team.At that time, the team is very likely to no longer need to spend money to buy new aid, but may also get a lot of money in the transfer market, so there should be no need for additional financial investment. Putting most of the money into other important things is a perfect idea in theory.

But a businessman, even after nearly 20 years in football, has not been able to transform his way of thinking into a non-businessman's model.It's not that he doesn't understand that the growth process of young players is always full of various uncertainties. His idea is naturally flawless in the most ideal situation, but in fact, more than a dozen of the Turin youth training camp can be called No one can predict how many young talents who are young talents can realize their potential.But it is almost certain that even if the success rate there is twice that of the normal state, only four or five players at most can become the backbone core of the team, and other positions need to be found in the transfer market, and then wait The growth of the next batch of good seedlings.

And if the growth of the little monsters does not meet the expectations of the outside world, then it is perfectly normal. In the past two years, Professor Walcott, Chamberlain, Gibbs and Coquelin, who were introduced in the past, have almost been replaced Are they all sold out?In the current Arsenal team, apart from Bellerin, Ramsey and Wilshere, there are no youth players from the club. The youth guard that Wenger spent 20 years building finally failed. .

Li Mudi is very clear that it is very difficult for a team that only relies on youth training to become a top team, so he will not be fooled by the club chairman's bold words and ambitions like Xiaobai. After accepting the other party's goodwill on the surface, he will return home He called his agent, Guinness, and signaled the other party to terminate the new contract negotiations that had entered the final process.If the club cannot write in black and white in the contract that it can guarantee investment in the transfer market every season, then he does not intend to renew the contract, and next season will be the last year of coaching the Red Bulls.

In this way, a turmoil caused by the new stadium has added huge variables to the future of the Turin team.However, after learning that the contract renewal process with the head coach was temporarily put on hold, the staff of the club's marketing department received instructions from the chairman and asked them to fully cooperate with Li Moody's signing plan. It seems that Urbano Cairo It is intended to soften the opponent's position in this way, which also makes the team's transfer work enter an active state three months before the opening of the summer window, adding a lot of material for subsequent media reports.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the second games of the current national team competition period started one after another and got their respective results.The Italian team was a guest at Wembley Stadium, relying on Insigne's slightly controversial penalty kick before the end of the final to draw with England 1-1, and finally did not start the journey of 2018 with a tragic two-game losing streak.Di Biagio still used a 4-3-3 formation, using Immobile and Belotti alone, but the latter got more playing time in this game, but still couldn't Change the status of the substitute.Throughout the game, since the Azzurri's offensive thinking was very chaotic, people could not see the hope of recovery, and the media expressed their disappointment with the interim coach.

The state of the Spanish national team surprised everyone. Although they played 1-1 with the German team in the away game four days ago, they did not perform too well, but after returning to their own territory, they broke out. unimaginable energy.Sitting at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Atletico Madrid, the Matadors played a historical level of offensive efficiency, and finally relied on Isco's hat-trick and the goals of Costa, Thiago and Aspas to win 6-1. Bloodbathed the Argentine team, which had just defeated Italy by two goals, and gave the Pampas Eagles the worst defeat in history.Even if Messi and Aguero still failed to play, the performance of Higuain, Mascherano and other stars is indeed too disappointing. Just a weak chicken.

Coincidentally, on the same day and at almost the same time period, the Argentine U20 National Youth Team also lost 1-6 in the friendly match against Castilla at the Real Madrid training base, but the latter's lineup also included Benzema , Marcos Llorente and Special Olympics, five first-team players who were not selected for the current national team squad.Stupid immediately played the big four, made a group of boys cry, and became the latest material for many jokers.

However, in addition to Argentina, there are also Italy that cannot take these two 1-6 games as a talking point.It is almost the same lineup. They defeated the Azzurri four days ago, but were defeated by the Matador four days later. During Ventola's coaching period, the away game lost 0 to 3 less.Until the restart of the league on weekends, the media in the Apennine Peninsula has been doing a lot of analysis on this team that has never been able to find the feeling of a top team since winning the World Cup in 2006. Everyone knows how much it has played, and the savior of the Azzurri may have to wait for a while to arrive.

Since the two European competitions will resume the battle in the middle of next week, and the No.20 seven rounds postponed due to the death of Astori, several matchups have also been arranged on Tuesday and Wednesday to complete the make-up match, so this weekend's Serie A The league was uniformly arranged to be held on Saturday, so that teams with game tasks can get more rest and adjustment time.What is more special is the match between Turin and Crotone. Since the Red Bulls will face the Salzburg Red Bulls at home in the Europa League on Thursday night, the make-up match had to be played again Postponed, the Football Association's tentative date is the end of April or the beginning of May.

In other words, if the Turin team can break into the semi-finals of the European League, according to UEFA's plan for the schedule, they will usher in a weekly double match arrangement for five or even six consecutive weeks, which is as difficult as hell Level up.Faced with this extremely unfavorable situation, Li Mudi had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead the team to die.Fortunately, after the two-week national team competition period, all the injuries in the team have basically recovered. Except for the veteran central defender Moretti who needs to continue his training for about a month, everyone else is already eligible to play. The standard has brought great convenience to the head coach's formation.

On the afternoon of the 31st, when the Turin team visited Sant'Elia Stadium in Sardinia and challenged Cagliari away, Li Moody made a reserved starting lineup.Although Belotti and Immobile joined forces to form the striker, neither of them played the whole game. The former was replaced by Pellegri before the second half and the latter was only present. After persisting for 15 more minutes, he sat on the bench and began to recover his blood, saving his energy for Thursday's European war.In addition, the two core midfielders, Ranocchia and Benassi, did not go with the team to the away game, but stayed at the club's resident to recharge their batteries.

In the face of the home team, which has only league tasks and is somewhat under the pressure of relegation, the average strength of the Red Bull players is well displayed. Dickman, Gourcuff and others actually have the ability to gain a foothold or even play the main force in the mid-range Serie A teams.Throughout the game, the visiting team, who did not seem to be at full strength, was able to firmly control the situation. The 58% ball possession rate and 14-of-7 shooting data of 7-for-2 are far from explaining the amount they actually got. How big is the advantage.

Cagliari didn't seem to be attacking much less than their opponents, but their chances of attacking the inside of the Torino penalty area were pitifully rare. None of the seven shots was a perfect opportunity, and most of them were defending players. It was completed with a certain amount of interference, and the two shots on target did not cause even the slightest trouble to Casillas.

Since there is sufficient preparation time to prepare the information of the opponent's players, before this game, Li Moody thoroughly studied the technical advantages and disadvantages of the Cagliari players through the FM system, and restricted the deployment of them in a very targeted manner. It led to the achievement of a big victory, which made a good start for the extremely difficult schedule.
