Mister Legend

Chapter 461
此次夺冠，令都灵队成为了1971-72赛季联盟杯正式创立以来，第五支在该项赛事登顶的意大利球队。此前尤文图斯（1976-77、1989-90、1992-93）、那不勒斯（1988-89）、国际米兰（1990-91、1993-94、1997-98）和帕尔马（1994-95、1998-99）四队曾经帮助亚平宁半岛获得过多次荣誉，并几乎统治了联盟杯的整个90s。

Since the 1999-2000 season, the European Cup Winners' Cup, one of the three major European cups, was merged into the UEFA Cup and changed to the current Europa League. This is the first Italian team to successfully win the championship. After a 19-year hiatus, the decline of Serie A has been fully revealed.

However, with the large-scale entry of foreign capital, Italian professional football has gradually shown signs of gaining momentum in recent years. The combination of gold dollars and professional management systems is the necessary operating law of modern football. Change the course and sooner or later you will be successful.However, Tianchao Football is not short of money, but in terms of management, there is really nothing to say except for a "hehe".

Leaving aside those things that spoil the atmosphere, let us turn our attention back to the event of the Torino team winning the championship.

In terms of statistics after the game, the two sides were tied in most aspects. Even if there are some differences in individual statistics, there is not much difference. Only fouls show a more obvious difference.Torino is leading 25-16, and the number of yellow cards is also 6-4.The reason why Kuipers’ performance today has been unanimously recognized by everyone is mainly because he has adopted the same penalty scale throughout the game. He has stricter recognition of foul actions on the field and has controlled the confrontation between players on both sides. Emotions allowed the game to finish smoothly.

It's just that the result of doing so, coupled with the tactics chosen by the two teams in the game, made the effective game time of this final far less than people imagined. Only the situation during the regular game time (that is, excluding overtime and points) Ball War), excluding injuries, fouls, referee cards, hand throws, corner kicks, substitutions, goals, offsides and picking up the ball, the time the ball runs on the field is only 45 minutes and 51 seconds, creating a record of 15 years. lowest value ever.This data can also indirectly reflect that the excitement of the game is not high, which is in line with the regular law of no strike in the final.

In addition, the Torino team also became the second foreign team to break the Spanish team's monopoly of the intercontinental championship since 2014. In the summer of 2013, after Bayern Munich defeated Chelsea in the European Super Cup, among the next four Champions League, four Europa League, four European Super Cups, and four Club World Cups with a total of 16 intercontinental championships, only last year's Europa League champion Manchester United is a non-La Liga team, and this is definitely the most powerful single-nation domination period in football history.

Fortunately, another non-Western team has stepped forward to ease this extremely embarrassing situation a little bit.Moreover, the Red Bull also broke the Spanish team's 2000-game winning streak against foreign opponents in various finals since Valencia lost to Bayern on penalties in the 01-12 UEFA Champions League final, which is also a remarkable achievement.And all of this, under the premise that the Spanish nationality is printed on the household registration book of Turin coach Li Moody, is even more legendary.

At the press conference after the game, Diego Simeone, who failed to tie the record of the old coach Aragones with a victory and became the coach with the most championships in the history of Atletico Madrid, was suspended by UEFA. The competition, but it cannot be absent on such an important occasion.In the face of reporters' questions, he answered in short words, with a flat expression of flattery and humiliation on his face.

As today's loser, the Argentine iron coach refuted the reporter's view that his absence caused the championship to fall aside. He believed that Atletico Madrid's performance was still excellent, but the strength of the Turin team was underestimated by everyone before.Simeone admired the opponent's tactical execution ability very much, and greatly praised Li Moody, and evaluated the Turin coach as one of the best coaches in European football today.

Afterwards, the topic gradually drifted away. The question of whether Torres will leave the team after the season, especially whether Griezmann will switch to Barcelona, ​​has become a question that everyone pays more attention to. The things that make the Atletico Madrid coach feel even more headache are obviously not there. Inside the football field.

But Li Moody's life is much better. This victory is enough to make the media in Europe and even the world praise the team and himself. Facing the outside world, he only needs to maintain a humble attitude.Before the Champions League final ten days later, the Red Bulls will undoubtedly be the most eye-catching focus in football, and accepting all kinds of appreciation is one of the tasks they need to complete.

Especially in Italy, all the media have unreservedly focused on and touted this championship. You must know that this is the first intercontinental trophy won by an Italian team after Inter Milan won the Champions League in 2010.And with the extra points from the championship, Serie A has finally surpassed the Bundesliga in the European standings and officially returned to the position of the third European league. It can be said that it is a double blessing.

Shortly after the end of the game, the Italian Olympic Committee, Football Association and Serie A sent congratulatory messages to the Turin team through their official social networks, and then almost all Italian professional teams at all levels sent official tweets to express their congratulations. Congratulations to the Red Bulls for winning the championship, even the rivals Juventus in the same city are no exception.

In terms of personal matters, Li Moody received text messages from many friends after the game. In addition to the relatives and friends from China, there are also many from Europe, such as Figo and other former Real Madrid stars, Ronaldo and other active Real Madrid stars. Varro and other former Castilian disciples, coaches with better personal relationships such as Wenger and Gasperini, etc., the large number of them almost exploded the SMS box of the Turin coach.What surprised him the most was that Chinese Ambassador to Spain Lu Fan, Consul General in Milan Song Xuefeng and other officials also sent congratulatory messages in their personal capacity, which made Li Moody feel very honored.

As for the congratulatory calls received, there are also a lot of congratulatory calls. Domestic Baozi, Tang Ge and others all made international long-distance calls. Nadal also stayed up late to watch the game during the intermission period, and invited his friends to the French Open after the season ended. help.And Raul, Guti and others all came to the scene to watch the game. It goes without saying that Qi Zu, who is busy preparing for the Champions League final, has no time to do so and can only send his congratulations by phone after the game.

The call between the two happened on the night of the second day of the final. In the afternoon of that day, the Turin team returned to China by special plane.When Cassie and Moretti held up the silver championship trophy at the door of the cabin, the thousands of fans who came to pick up the plane were completely in a state of boiling. If it wasn't for the airport's restriction of access to the apron due to safety considerations It is estimated that the crazy Turin fans will cause a greater sensation.

In the afternoon, another grand press conference was held at the Olympic Stadium in Turin, followed by the championship parade, which lasted until late at night and did not completely end. Too many Red Bull supporters had no intention of sleeping that night.

After a full day of exhaustion, he sent off his parents and his girlfriend who continued to work in Asia in the afternoon. Li Mudi, who had regained his status as an otaku, received a call from the Real Madrid coach before the break.After the regular congratulations, the two first discussed the previous day's game, summed up some areas that the Turin team still needs to improve in the game, and then turned the topic to the UEFA Champions League final that will start next Saturday .

Facing Liverpool, whose morale is high and the state is extremely hot in the European war, Qi Zu did not find a good coping strategy, but what worried the Turin coach even more was that from the tone of the opponent, he felt deep regret. Tiredness, which has never happened before.Li Mudi, who was checking the current situation of the two teams, hurriedly called up the information column of his friend, and actually saw the words "confused about the development of the team and want to leave" in his personal emotions. This is really incredible .

Although the handsome position of Real Madrid is not as full of all kinds of glory as the eyes of the outside world, and the hardships in it are also the most difficult in the world, but with the full protection of Lafayette, Zidane can be said to have been since the time of the Galaxy Battleship. After that, the Real Madrid head coach with the most comfortable environment.

Moreover, the team was at its peak during the two and a half years he took over, reaching the Champions League final three times in a row.Coupled with many good results such as a league championship and two Club World Cup championships, even though his performance in La Liga in the early and mid-term of this season can be said to be a mess, Li Mudi never thought about the possibility of Qi Zu's resignation. Will he consider leaving before the moment of making history arrives?
The Turin coach who lost interest in the Champions League final immediately inquired about the personal emotions of his good friend from the side, and finally got the truth from the opponent's mouth. It turned out that he and Lafayette appeared in the lineup adjustment plan for next season. The huge contradiction that is difficult to reconcile has led to an extremely bad mood now.

No one is not excited about advancing to the finals of the world's largest club competition for three consecutive years and having the opportunity to complete the three consecutive championships, but Real Madrid's performance in this year's league and Copa del Rey is indeed unsatisfactory. In the process of qualifying for the Champions League, the ability shown by the team has also attracted a lot of criticism. It has lost its dominance in the previous two years.All of this made Lafayette feel that it was time for a big change of blood.

Therefore, in the transfer market, there have been rumors that Real Madrid will purge Bale and Benzema, and world-class goalkeepers such as De Gea, Brazil's national goalkeeper Alisson and Courtois will land at the Bernabeu to replace Navas. The news is also lingering in everyone's ears throughout the season.After entering March, the news that Neymar will return to Spain from Paris Saint-Germain and join his former club's rival Galacticos suddenly occupied the headlines of major sports media overnight. Behind all this is Lafayette Manipulated shadows.

In all fairness, Li Modi still agrees with the philosophy of the chairman of Real Madrid. He thinks that the ancient Chinese saying "flowing water does not rot, and household hinges do not worm" is still very reasonable.It is difficult to maintain long-term stability in this world. It is reflected in football that there are very few teams that are at their peak for a long time. After Real Madrid won two big ear cups in a row, the current players' desire for honor is obviously not as good as It was so strong before, which is also the main reason why they did not perform well this season without a major decline in their ability.

After Manchester United won the Triple Crown that year, their performance went from bad to worse. Ferguson decisively sold his favorite generals Cole and Yorke, and introduced Ruud van Nistelrooy. After Bay fell out, he was replaced by Ronaldo and Rooney.The most powerful thing is that he was decisive when cleaning the Dutch central defender Stam, the old captain Keane, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area, which was really impressive.

And after every major change of blood, the Red Devils can almost rise again and move towards the next peak. This is how Manchester United can still rank among the world's top giants even when their competitive performance is not very good, and become No. 1 in terms of influence. .[-] one of the decisive factors.

Ferguson's move has set a very good example for other coaches to use as a reference. Real Madrid, which has completed the Champions League defense, has reached a peak in terms of competitive honor, and it has begun to decline visibly with the naked eye. If the lineup cannot be adjusted in time, Replace the team's veterans with new players who can maintain a full hunger for every game, then in the next few seasons, the team's performance is likely to show a precipitous decline.

Even if the old background is still there, it will not be completely reduced to a bad situation, but with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid maintaining their current levels and Valencia showing signs of rising again, the league and Copa del Rey champions will be farther and farther away from Real Madrid. Far.As for the UEFA Champions League, which the team is best at, this year you reached the final due to luck. Can you still count on the goddess of luck to stand behind you all the time?
According to the idea of ​​​​the coach of Turin, as the core president of the new generation of Galaxy Battleship after Raul, he can still stay.On the one hand, although his competitive state has declined, he still maintains a very good performance in terms of age. He is still one of the top stars in the world and can play a very important role for the team.On the other hand, it is also out of the consideration of the cultural construction of the team, so that the human touch diluted by Jin Yuan can be retained in the Bernabeu.

The other two in the BBC, Bell with too many injuries and Benzema with too many ups and downs, should make a move as soon as possible while still selling for a certain value.Afterwards, it will either cause new star replacements, or strengthen young players such as Mbappe and Asensio, which can enhance the overall combat effectiveness.

It's just that Qi Zu is too nostalgic. This is the main reason why he can mingle with these big-name players in a short period of time and completely control the locker room, but it also brings huge obstacles to his current coaching.

Through Qi Zu's words, Li Mudi can feel Lafayette's determination to complete a series of big money in the next summer transfer period, which will cause a fierce collision between the two ideas, which is definitely possible for Real Madrid A great earthquake that shakes the foundations.However, under the condition that the chairman controls all the rights of the club, it is basically impossible for the head coach of the team to become the winner of this conflict, so Zidane had the idea of ​​leaving the team after the season, leaving Li Mudi in a situation of being at a loss.
