Chapter 471 Reinforcement of the front midfielder achieved
When Li Mudi said goodbye to his girlfriend at Barajas Airport in Madrid, and landed in Turin after a connecting flight, and got into the Maserati SUV driven by Forsina to pick him up, Valenti, the marketing director of Turin, came over with him. No Cairo informed him a lot of good news in a row, which made the Turin coach who had already learned the general situation in the FM system even happier.

Glick's transfer deal was finalized last night, with 1950 million euros without any additional clauses, and the Turin team welcomed back their former captain.As for personal treatment, due to the excellent results achieved by the Red Bulls in the 2017-18 season, the sponsorship fees and business development they received have shown a good trend. The team's salary index for the new season has been raised by another level based on the original plan.

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not only did the Polish iron guard not lower his salary in order to return to Turin as he said before, but he got more euros than when he played in France before. This is also a surprise. hi it.

It's just that this signing is a deal that has long been included in the Red Bulls' plan and will definitely be completed, and it will not be the main reason why Li Moody is so happy.What can make him smile is that the reinforcement of the front midfielder position has finally been realized, and the problem that has plagued the Turin coach for a whole season may usher in a solution.

Before noon on June 6, the Turin club and the European powerhouse Sporting Club of Portugal issued a statement at the same time. The Portuguese international and 7-year-old attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes (Bruno Fernandes), who played for the latter in the previous season, paid 23 million euros. The transfer fee returned to the Serie A arena and became the core of the frontcourt organization of the Red Bulls.As soon as this news came out, it attracted the attention of European football. "Turin Sports News" immediately issued a long article report, which restored the process of this transaction in detail.

Bruno Fernandez was born on September 1994, 9. He debuted in the Boavista youth training camp of the Portuguese Super League team, but he never got enough attention from his parent team. When he was under 8 years old, he made a decision that seemed extremely bold at the time, joining the Italian team Novara, which is one of the satellite teams of the Turin team.

Relying on his outstanding performance in the middle and late part of the 2012-13 season in Serie B (23 games with 4 goals and 2 assists), only one year later, he was favored by Udinese, a mid-range Serie A team, and became A member of the Bianconeri.In that season, Fernandez also won the heart of the then team coach Guidolin through hard training and amazing performances when he came off the bench-no, it was trust. He entered Udine from the No.12 round of the league Smith's regular starting roster.And this season, the performance of 28 goals and 4 assists in 6 games is already a very impressive performance for a foreign teenager who is less than 20 years old.

In the following two years, Fernandez's position at the Friuli Stadium can be said to have become more and more stable, even though the team's head coach changed from Guidolin to Stella Macioni, and then changed to Colantono and De Canio, but he played no less than 31 games in Serie A every season during this period.Although the number of goals and assists is a bit flat, in addition to the reason why Italian football pays more attention to defense, there are also factors that the team always puts him in the central midfielder position, making it difficult for him to play his own good creation. force.

In the 2016-17 season, Sampdoria signed the Portuguese, who seemed to have made little progress in recent years, with a loan first and then a buyout, and entrusted him with important tasks from the end of October. Fernandez first For the first time, he was able to gain enough space to play in the position of the midfielder.It is a pity that due to the overall strength of the team and the unsmooth running-in and merging with the new teammates, after the whole season, he still only produced a pale data of 35 goals and 5 assists in 2 games, which made the original high hopes for him The club and fans were disappointed.

Last summer, Sampdoria triggered a buyout clause of 540 million euros, but then sold the young man to Sporting Portugal for 872 million, earning a small difference.It's just that no one thought at that time that Bruno Fernandez, who returned to his motherland after five years, turned into a dragon when encountering a storm, just like an old Chinese saying.

Although Porto and Benfica, the other two strong teams in the Portuguese Super League, have maintained their strong strength, Sporting Lisbon still failed to make further progress in the league, and only won the third place for the second consecutive year.In the domestic cup match, he also lost to the mid-range team Aves in the final. In the European game, he was eliminated in the Champions League group. After entering the Europa League, he was defeated by Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals. A Portuguese League Cup with the lowest gold content.

However, Fernandez, who has returned to his motherland, has shown his own strength to the world. Even though he cannot play the role of his favorite midfielder due to the formation of the head coach, he has played as a central midfielder and even a shadow forward many times. Ushered in a big explosion.In the 56 games played in various seasons, he scored 16 goals and contributed 20 assists. Even if the overall level of the Portuguese Super League is still a bit behind the five major leagues, this data is still very rare.

With his outstanding club performance, Fernandez was selected for the Portugal national team for the first time in November last year, and quickly established himself in the team that has won the European Cup in 2016.In the 23-man squad for the World Cup announced by the meritorious coach Fernando Santos last week, Fernandez was successfully selected and became one of the only midfielders in the team who did not participate in the World Series two years ago.

For the reason of examining the ability of substitute players, the Portuguese coach announced the starting list for tonight's match against Algeria yesterday. Fernandez won the honor of starting the national team for the first time.Coupled with the latest net worth list released by the authoritative media "Transfer Market", the instant transfer value of this rising midfielder has soared to 2700 million euros. No one would say that he is a popular fried chicken in European football today. Raise objections.

According to common sense, if other European giants or local tyrants want to take it away this summer, then a fee of around 4000 million may be a more reasonable price.However, considering that Manchester United has already paid 6000 million euros for the Brazilian Fred, who also has not proven himself in the top league, there seems to be no reason why the Portuguese Sports Club will not ask the buyer to refer to this price. , It is not impossible that there will be a transaction price of more than 5000 million.

This level of investment in signings is obviously not acceptable to the Turin team, which has just entered the "well-off" society. Unless Li Moody agrees to let Belotti go, he will definitely not spend such a high price on a non-top star. of.

However, when Fred's landing at Old Trafford was almost a foregone conclusion, Inter Milan and Roma also suddenly joined the battle for Pastore, making the Turin team more passive, and it was extremely difficult for Li Moody's next target , a change that is rare in decades, but the Red Bulls saw an excellent opportunity to successfully introduce this new midfielder who still has a lot of potential to be tapped.

At the end of April this year, Sporting lost 0-2 at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid.Judging from the overall strength of the two teams, this is a very normal result. Everyone can understand the disappointment of the Portuguese powerhouse, but the club's chairman Bruno de Carvalho made an extremely brain-dead decision after the game. Action: Publicly named and criticized the performance of the players on personal social media, which immediately caused an uproar.

In the mouth of the football tycoon who has been in charge of the Portuguese sports club since the spring of 2013, many players including the main winger Martins, the full-back Coentrao on loan from Real Madrid, and the old Barcelona player Mathieu The players should all be responsible for this defeat, and the language they used was extremely vulgar, which can be called abusive.

His actions immediately attracted the attention of the outside world, and then [-] players in the team jointly protested to the club, demanding a face-to-face dialogue with the management, and received an apology from the chairman.Bruno de Carvalho, who is known as the "Trump of Portugal", not only did not realize his mistake, but instead made a more shameless operation. He unilaterally announced the indefinite suspension of these players, which completely detonated The entire Portuguese football.

Although after the emergency consultation and mediation by the Football Association and other relevant people, the suspension was not actually implemented, but the chairman who was full of blood had seriously affected the image of the entire club, and the players were full of resentment. It is a ghost that the operation and performance can be improved.

In this way, the huge crisis has been hidden under the daily game training until the last round of the league held on the evening of May 5th, when Sporting Portugal lost 13-1 to Maritimo in the away game, with a three-point difference. Lose a place in the Champions League next season.

On the second day, when the players gathered at the club's training ground in the afternoon, preparing for tactical drills for the Portuguese Cup final to be held a week later, suddenly at least fifty masked gangsters rushed into the base with sticks and broke into the locker room Give the players and coaches who are changing equipment a good meal.

The security personnel reacted at this time and rushed up to stop them, but firstly, there were not as many gangsters as there were, and secondly, they were blocked outside the locker room. Many people, including the team's top scorer Dutchman Dorst and the Argentine international Acuna, suffered varying degrees of violent injuries, especially Dorst, who had multiple cuts on his head and left blood Almost dyed the jersey red.

This matter quickly became the hottest focus topic in the whole country through media dissemination, and even other European media, which was at the end of the league at that time, also expressed a certain degree of concern.Sporting Club Portugal issued an official statement that night, severely condemning the attack on the players.But soon after, news spread in the country that Bruno de Carvalho was the mastermind behind the violence.

Although he himself immediately stood up and denied it, Carvalho, whose character has been overdrawn to the extreme, could not convince anyone at all, and was recognized by the people as a crime involving gangsters.

After learning the truth of the suspected incident, the players spontaneously organized together. Almost all of them signed an application for termination of the contract with the team. The reason was very good, because they felt that the club could no longer Protect the personal safety of the players.At the same time, they also submitted similar documents to the Portuguese Football Association, hoping to get a fair ruling. According to relevant regulations, the Football Association has a maximum of 30 days to investigate and collect evidence before making a decision.

A week later, full-team Sporting lost to far inferior opponents in the domestic cup final, ending an undeniably poor season.

Seeing that he might face the extremely unfavorable situation of flying eggs, Bruno de Carvalho finally couldn't sit still. While pretending to be a framed person in front of the public, he urgently contacted other European giants, They are allowed to make offers for William Carvalho, Patricio and other players.

Although not as famous as Porto's black shop, Sporting Lisbon is also a club that is good at cultivating young talents and then selling them at high prices. Numerous stars such as Figo, Ronaldo, Quaresma and Nani have shown their excellence here. His talent was acquired by a wealthy family at a high price.

Take William Carvalho, the main midfielder of the national team, as an example. In the 2013-14 season when he just gained a foothold in the first team, he received the attention of Manchester United and other top teams. Almost every transfer period will spread There were rumors that he was about to switch to a wealthy club, but all fell through because the price did not reach the bottom line of the club chairman.This time, in order not to lose all his capital, Bruno de Carvalho was obviously prepared to make concessions in terms of price, and Li Moody took the opportunity to find a bargain.

When the Turin coach learned of the termination of the Portuguese player, it was during the period when the marketing department was contacting Shakhtar Donetsk to discuss Fred's transfer intention. At that time, someone proposed to try to introduce Bruno, who may become a free agent, for free. Fernandez, but because Li Moody considered that he would encounter competition from other teams, and the Red Bulls were not decisively attractive compared with other giants, he temporarily rejected this plan.

However, the club chairman's decision to sell these players before the decision to terminate the contract has not yet been determined has allowed the Turin team to find an opportunity to start negotiations with the players in advance of those opponents who hope to be empty-handed. Valentino Cairo lived up to expectations and completed this task.
