Mister Legend

Chapter 464 Defense update and Serie B upgrade battle
As mentioned before, if Li Mudi and others buy a professional club in the future, they will most likely choose an English club.And when there is a certain gap in their financial resources, they are bound to cooperate with other people, so the Flanagan family, which has considerable influence in the UK, is an excellent partner for cooperation.

So under the deliberate contact and care of the Turin coach, it took only half a season for the right back, who was on loan from Liverpool, to form a good personal relationship with Li Moody.Although he only played 11 games in total, most of which were played as a substitute, the 25-year-old British defender has received a lot of tips on how to maintain his own form from the team's head coach in daily training. I also made my abilities more reasonable through the adjustment of practice items.

Although the current ability value is still maintained at 133, the points subtracted from skills such as free kicks and shooting have been added to key attributes such as composure and defensive positioning, making his overall strength towards a better defensive full-back The direction developed.Although there is no place for a defender who can only defend and has almost zero offensive ability in a top giant like Liverpool, he is still very welcome in the English Championship and even the Premier League teams at the bottom of the standings. Very high-spirited player.I believe that after returning to China, this super rich second generation will not lack suitors, and the goal of continuing his career as a main force can be said to be relatively easy to achieve.

Just like that, Jon Flanagan boarded the flight back to the British Isles with gratitude to the Red Bull, especially Moody Li, and posted an emotional message on his personal Twitter before leaving , Expressing gratitude and nostalgia for the experience of this half season.

At the same time, Diego Llorente, who has returned to Madrid to recuperate, also sent a similar text on the Internet, evaluating this trip to Italy as one of the best experiences he has experienced so far in his player career, and he has been praised by all. The unanimous praise of spirit fans.

The next morning, Emiliano Moretti, a veteran central defender who was born in Rome, made his debut at the Fiorentina youth training camp, became famous in the La Liga powerhouse Valencia, and joined the Red Bulls in the summer of 2013, is about to usher in his 37 On the occasion of his birthday, he officially announced his decision to retire, which aroused great repercussions from the fans.

During the five years of playing for the Turin team, the veteran central defender played 156 times for the team in various competitions. While scoring 7 goals and 6 assists, he also received 28 yellow cards , was sent off only once, and this report card can be said to be quite excellent.During the winter break last year, the former captain Vives joined Vercelli and left the captain's armband to Moretti, allowing the veteran to be promoted to the star of the team he played for at the last moment of his career. The red bull creates a deeper emotional connection.

The FM system shows that in the player's personal information column, after the hometown team Lazio he has supported since childhood and Genoa, which he played for before, Torino has become the third club supported by Moretti.

At this time, the fans of the Turin club did not hesitate to express their feelings. Not only did they give high praise to the veteran on the Internet, they also organized a team of no less than 3000 people in a very short period of time. Will attend the retirement press conference held for Moretti at the Olympic Stadium on the evening of the 30th of this month to see him off.

But everyone is not too sad, because even if the old captain will not continue to run on the green field, he will stay in the club and contribute to the Red Bulls.Having obtained the national A-level coaching qualification certificate, he has just signed a new contract with the Turin team, and officially joined the ranks of the youth team staff as a defensive coach.At the same time as he completed the transition from player to coach, there was also former captain Vives, who announced that he had taken off his long-wearing shirt after completing his Serie B journey this season and when his contract was about to expire. In the 21-year jersey, he returned to his old club Turin to serve as the coach of the youth team.

Coupled with the return of Glick, which has been basically confirmed, the previous three captains chose to return to their roots or focus on traditional dramas at the same time, which made the outside world's evaluation of the Red Bulls even higher. They believed that they were a club full of human touch. The reputation and influence in world football have been slightly improved.

Just following the news that Kevin Bonifazzi, a 22-year-old young central defender from the Turin youth training, will join the Serie B team Vercelli next season on loan, the attention of the Red Bulls People felt a little worried. Everyone generally expressed that although they understood that the team's defense needs a certain degree of adjustment and operation, the current situation of one player in and four out not only did not form a reinforcement, but also tended to be weakened.Glick's strength is good, but he alone can't make up for the position of the three central defenders, and there is one less important rotation player in the right back/wing back position, which will not make the team's defensive ability further Did it slip?
Regarding this doubt, Li Moody gave his own answer when he was interviewed by reporters at the door when he left the club's residence on Thursday, that is, on the evening of the 24th.

He believes that according to the normal formation requirements and rotation system of the Turin team, the original four of Kanneman, Ranocchia, Gordaniga and the teenager Riboira, together with Glick and the second-tier team on loan last season The Frenchman Issa Diop of the Novara team, these six central defenders are enough for the Red Bulls.Bonifaczi's playing time in the just-concluded season was extremely limited and negligible.The configuration for next season can simply be seen as Glick replacing Diego Llorente and Diop replacing Moretti. From the perspective of ability, they are all an upgrade.

Especially the young French central defender who has just turned 21 years old. Although he was loaned to the secondary league in the 2017-18 season, he has won the complete trust of Novara coach Corini. He actually played all the games of the team throughout the season.It is precisely because Issa Diop has accumulated enough experience in more than 40 professional games that Issa Diop's personal strength has grown by leaps and bounds in just one year. The ability given by the FM system In terms of value, it seems that it is not much different from Goldanica.Moreover, the young man's attribute distribution is very reasonable, his offensive ability is weak and messy, but his defensive end has shown the level of a world-class central defender. It can be said that he is a perfect defensive superstar.

According to the information just refreshed by the authoritative media "Transfer Market", the young central defender who joined the Turin team from Toulouse in Ligue 1000 at a high price of 300 million euros two years ago, his value has soared from less than 1200 million at that time. [-] million, which was generated when he had not played a single Serie A game.If it weren't for the Gallic Rooster's lack of excellent defenders, and there was no precedent for recruiting players who played in the secondary league before, the French media would like to call on Deschamps to take this young man to Russia to make arrangements for the future of the national team.

It is precisely because of Diop's sudden emergence that Li Mudi boldly let go of three central defenders one after another, and gave up his previous plan to introduce Lazio and Brazilian central defender Wallace. The marketing department of the club has been instructed to prepare to pay the player 3000 million euros in liquidated damages.

The transfer fee saved can just be used to strengthen the rest of the team, especially the signings of the attacking midfielder. According to the feedback from the Turin prince Valentino Cairo, Paris Saint-Germain has no idea whether to sell Argentina. There is still no latest answer on the matter of star Pastore.Although the former team coach Emery, who has been reluctant to let go of the midfielder, has been fired by the top management, the new coach Tuchel has not yet officially taken office, and the professor who has been rumored to take over the Paris Sports Manager does not seem to have either. There is no sign of taking office, so the matter of Pastore's transfer has to be put on hold all the time, which makes Li Moody very anxious.

However, there is a way to see another village. Due to the negative attitude of the Ligue [-] giants, the organization core that the Turin coach has always hoped for has been unable to be in place. With the passage of time, another player who was not originally in Li Mudi's target has been. It suddenly appeared, and finally made a substantial breakthrough in the introduction plan of the Red Bull's front midfielder.Of course, this is all for later, let us describe it in detail at that time.

It is mentioned above that Issa Diop has achieved rapid growth during his one season in the Serie B team Novara, and the young German midfielder Maximilian Eggerstein, who was also loaned to the team, has also grown rapidly. I have gained a lot, although it is not as dazzling as the former, but I am making steady progress.

With the help of these two Turin teenagers, Novara, who ranked ninth in Serie B last season, went one step further in the just-concluded season, ranking No.7 in the Serie B standings, and successfully entered the promotion play-off stage .They will face the challenge of the sixth Bari team in the league at home on June 6th. The winner will enter the next round and compete with No.4 Frosinone, No.3 Palermo and Citadella The winner of Venice is playing a two-round home and away knockout round to determine the last place that can be promoted to Serie A.

And when the 42 rounds of regular matches of the Serie B this season ended last weekend, Empoli, who had already confirmed the championship position, and the veteran Italian powerhouse Parma both locked two direct promotion seats, which became one of the hot topics at the time.

Italian football is not too surprised that Empoli, who regretted being relegated in the last round of last season, was able to return to the first division, although they had to sell one after another last summer, including Portugal Left-back Mario Rui, Senegal midfielder star Diuse, and other main players in the team, but the club's top management has not lost its ambition.After successively introducing veteran striker Caputo, central defender Simone Romagnoli from Milan youth training, and former Italian international midfielder Matteo Bridge, the overall strength of the team has not declined much. Considered a big favorite to upgrade before the start.

However, Parma's upgrade is far beyond people's expectations. You must know that this team, one of the seven sisters of Serie A in the past and won the No. Unfortunately, there was a serious financial crisis and was forced to relegate to the fourth tier by the Italian Football Association.At that time, the entire city of Parma almost fell into collapse, which made all the fans who experienced the glory days of this team nicknamed "Crusaders" feel extremely sad.

However, after the club was reorganized and renamed "Parma 2013", the team almost immediately showed the background of a veteran team. In the face of various difficulties, they achieved success for two consecutive years in the 2015-17 season. , It is admirable to return to Serie B in an unfavorable situation.

This season, the team was hit hard after two consecutive victories at the beginning. After a wave of three consecutive losses, it went on a wave of three rounds without victories. The league ranking fell all the way to No.15. The young head coach Robert Daversa once faced a crisis of getting out of class.Fortunately, they adjusted their status in time. After completing a wave of 5 wins and 1 loss, they took advantage of the poor state of the top teams in the standings to rise to the top position, which became the focus of the topic at the time.

And it was around that stage, that is, in mid-November 2017, that Jiang Lizhang, a businessman from China (owner of the La Liga team Granada Club and a minority shareholder of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves), invested in the acquisition of 60% of Parma’s shares. , became the new chairman of the club. This is the third Italian professional team controlled by China Capital after the Milan duo.

The rich man born in the 80s can be said to be a legend in the Chinese sports world. His entry helped the new Parma gradually stabilize the financial problems that had always felt a bit precarious before, and gave the club's staff and players a reassurance. , The team's performance also began to stabilize.Although Empoli ushered in a sudden explosion in the period before Christmas and established its lead in the standings early, Parma has kept the top three rankings with consistently outstanding performance in the subsequent league journey. The suspense of the second and last direct promotion quota has been kept until the final round.

Last weekend, Frosinone, who had a two-point lead in points, was upset at home and was forced 2-2 by Hogia, who had nothing to desire. Parma, who beat Spezia by two goals in the away game, tied the difference. And use the advantage of the relationship between the outcome of the direct confrontation between the two sides to overwhelm the opponent and overtake the runner-up in the league.So far, this former Serie A team, which has cultivated world superstars such as Buffon and Cannavaro, and had Veron, Crespo, Zola, Chiesa and other stars at its peak, is unprecedented in Italian football. The "triple jump" method returned to the First Division, and engraved his name on the monument of football history in the Apennine Peninsula.

Because they are also compatriots in China, the Turin coach deliberately sent a message of congratulations on the social network platform after learning the news of Parma's successful promotion. Who knew that he got a reply from the official account of the opposing club.Afterwards, with the introduction of Zhang Kangyang, the prince of Inter Milan, Li Mudi and Chairman Jiang exchanged phone numbers and had a conversation.Although the two parties were unable to meet in a short period of time due to schedule issues, the two people of similar age still communicated very comfortably during the phone conversation and verbally reached a mutual assistance plan.

So the Red Bulls made an "ally" before the start of the new season, but at this time everyone did not expect that this relationship played a vital role in their impact on the Juventus dynasty. , "It's wonderful!" Ah!
