Mister Legend

Chapter 473 The World Cup Is Here

They are also excellent youths of the Chinese dynasty who realize their own value in the Italian football circle (although the May 28th Youth Day cannot be celebrated in China if they are over 44 years old, but according to the division of the World Health Organization, anyone under the age of [-] can be classified as youth, so everyone Coach Ling is still a little far away from middle age), Li Mudi and Zhang Kangyang have a good personal relationship, although because of their busy work, there are not many opportunities to meet each other on weekdays, but after a year, they can always get together Play together six or seven times.Coupled with the fact that the two have similar temperaments and dispositions, they soon forged a relatively close friendship.

The engagement ceremony held in Mallorca this time naturally had to invite this compatriot, and for the sake of politeness, Li Mudi even sent invitation letters to the two big bosses of the Milan Football Club symbolically.It’s just that Mr. Zhang of Inter Milan is going back to China for a meeting, and Li Ge of AC Milan is now even more involved in the lawsuit. As expected, the two big bosses declined to attend after sending gifts and verbal blessings.Parma chairman Jiang Lizhang just met him not long ago, and it is not convenient to participate in private events, making Zhang Kangyang the only representative who attended the ceremony among the Chinese in the Italian football world.

For this reason, while participating in various important decision-making meetings related to the club during this period of time, the prince of Inter Milan also spent a lot of thought trying to find a very meaningful gift for the Turin coach.He made this call a little suddenly this time, so he borrowed this stalk and made a joke with Li Mudi.

"Brother Li, I have worked hard and failed to find a gift that suits my heart, so I asked for a contract from my old man, inviting you to come and coach Inter Milan, with an annual salary of 400 million after tax. How about it? That's enough, brother!"

This figure has surpassed Carlo Ancelotti, who has just entered Naples, and is the second highest salary in Serie A after the Juventus coach. For Li Moody, who has only three years of coaching experience, it is considered a considerable premium.It's just that the latter knows that this is just a joke after all.

Although it is a pity to miss the qualification to participate in the Champions League next season, Spalletti's performance in the first year of the Nerazzurri is still worthy of recognition. In the case of not investing much money in the transfer window last summer, the Italian native The famous coach still led this team, which was not too optimistic before, to achieve excellent results at the beginning of the season, and even once climbed to the top of the Serie A list.It's a pity that the team's lineup is too thin and the stamina is insufficient when facing a difficult schedule, which leads to the mid-to-late collapse.

However, the fifth place in the league is enough to satisfy the club's executives, especially when compared with their rivals in the same city who have spent more than [-] million yuan, they still perform very disappointingly. Time to make a coaching change decision.

Zhang Kangyang's call this time was actually to communicate with the Turin coach about Nainggolan's transfer.Although this is a [-]% official business, whether it is the East that pays attention to personal relationships, or the Western society known for its legal democracy, favors are inevitable.In many transactions, in order to obtain more benefits, although both parties will send a large group of professionals to compare pennies and pennies, but often the decision to start and complete the project is determined by several bigwigs during private exchanges.

For the Belgian midfielder, in terms of ability, Li Moody still recognizes it very much. With his comprehensive skills, superb long-range shots and strong mental attributes, he has a chance even in the world's top giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona. Into the regular rotation lineup.It's just that Nainggolan's thorny personality is really a headache, just like Lars Diarra back then, a typical double-edged sword, while being able to give the team great help, it is hard to say when it will Turn around and stab yourself.

But seeing this level of players flowing into the transfer market, as long as the team needs reinforcement in the midfield position, it is inevitable that they will be tempted. The chairman of the Red Bulls Urbano Cairo and the director Panta Leo Longo is naturally no exception, that is, the latter expressed his optimism about the player's strength in an interview with the media, which aroused speculation that the Turin team might introduce the Belgian.

Although it was a good personal relationship, Li Moody did not betray the interests of the club. He seized on Inter Milan's impatience that was eager to get Nainggolan, hoping to exchange some benefits for the Turin team.As a result, after urgent negotiations between the two clubs, Turin withdrew from the ranks of competing for the Belgian midfielder, which was not likely to join. The left rear star was completely given to the red bull.

This private transaction seems to be a big advantage for the Turin side, but in fact it did not cause much loss to the Nerazzurri.Since they are undergoing UEFA's financial fair play policy review, they must raise enough funds to replenish their finances before the arrival of June 6, so Inter Milan had to waive all the buyout clauses and buyout clauses for loan players in the 30-2017 season. Terms of sale of players.Therefore, Rafinha, who was originally optimistic about staying in the team, and Portuguese full-back Cancelo, who was loaned from Valencia, can only return to their original clubs.

As for DiMarco, when he joined the Red Bulls last season, the two teams set a repurchase clause, but the validity period ended before June 6. Although 30 million is not a big number, it is just for the current For Inter Milan, it is still difficult to come up with it.

However, the temporary financial austerity measures will not affect the Nerazzurri's upgrade of the lineup for next season, because according to the regulations, the players they are trying to buy now will not pay the fee until the transfer window opens on July 7 at the earliest. It is already counted as an investment for the next season and will not be counted in the financial expenditure of the 1-2017 season.So it appeared that the Inter Milan club could not spend a penny to keep the players on loan last season, and on the other hand, it showed a trend of a major adjustment in the transfer market. The two seemed somewhat contradictory. In fact, they do not interfere with each other.

According to previous foreign media reports, Inter Milan is likely to be punished for failing to meet the financial fairness requirements set by UEFA.However, since the circumstances are not too serious, the sentencing may be relatively light, at least not related to the qualifications for the European War and the transfer ban.

The situation facing their rivals in the same city is not so good now. The AC Milan club controlled by "Brother Li" has been at the cusp of European football in recent months.Because the new owner of the club borrowed a large amount of fees when accepting the shares, and was extremely questioned about its ability to repay the debt, after a long investigation, UEFA has made up its mind to punish this world-renowned football club. Severe punishment was imposed.

In December last year, the Rossoneri submitted a settlement agreement, hoping to replace other forms of punishment with a fine of about 2000-3000 million euros, but it was rejected.According to the latest news, AC Milan has become the target of UEFA to scare chickens and monkeys, and it is likely to receive a ticket that will make other rich teams frightened when they see it.In addition to paying huge fines, they are also likely to be banned from signing, or even deprived of their hard-won Europa League qualification for next season.

In order to avoid this worst situation, the management of AC Milan has been thinking hard about the solution, and the best option is undoubtedly to persuade the owner of China, Li Yonghong, to sell most or even all of his shares, and let the new owner solve the club. financial deficit.

Therefore, the closer it is to the time when UEFA is about to announce the results of the investigation and punishment, the rumors in Italian football that the Rossoneri has changed hands again are all over the sky. The Auto Group will stand up to take over the club, and tomorrow there will be news that the Italian media giant Rico Comiso is willing to take over the deal, which will cause the personal image of "Brother Li" to plummet, and even cause damage to the Chinese businessmen who are developing in Europe. some negatives.

But fortunately, the bosses of other European football circles are quite powerful. European teams such as Inter Milan, Aston Villa, Espanyol, Sochaux, Slavia Prague, The Hague, and Parma are controlled by domestic companies or individuals. , in the just-concluded 2017-18 season, they had a relatively satisfactory performance, which made the arrogant Europeans realize that the Chinese people are not only rich, but also have excellent knowledge in managing the football industry. will have a very positive effect.

Let's turn our attention back to the protagonist. Li Moody's return to Mallorca's farm this time is naturally mainly to prepare for the engagement ceremony that will be held on the 13th.Since this time an all-western process is adopted, it will not be very tiring for the parties involved. This is what makes the Turin coach most satisfied.

Moreover, the Li family doesn't believe in any religion, so they didn't even invite the pastor, and directly regarded this event as a big dinner to announce the engagement of the two, and still left the planning and layout of the event to professionals. , very easy.It's just because the man's accumulated contacts in the past few years are relatively extensive, and there will be more people who come to congratulate him, so Li Mudi will come back a few days in advance to see if there are any important matters that need to be handled by him, so as not to make any mistakes when he gets it, and it seems right The guests are not respectful enough.

However, in fact, he only stayed here for one night. On Saturday afternoon, Li Modi took his fiancée Lin Yuner to Paris by Air France.On the second day at 6:10 on June 15th, the men's singles final of the 2018 French Open will be held on time at the Philippe Chatier Stadium. The clay king Nadal will usher in his No. 11 In the French Open final trip, he had no defeat in the first ten times.Only this time, his defending journey was the most underestimated by the outside world before the game, because his opponent was the Austrian rookie Dominic Thiem, who was born in 1993. He ended Natto's unbeaten clay court season in the Madrid Masters a month ago. The person with the record.

Although he won the unprecedented No.11 crown in a single event in Monte Carlo and Barcelona, ​​and won his eighth crown in the event in the Rome Masters, Nadal's physical condition this year is obviously different from a year ago. time showed a more pronounced decline.Originally known as the strongest running ability in the history of tennis, the feeling of staggering has appeared many times, and the wrinkles on the face that have begun to increase and the hairline that has receded year by year are reminding everyone that this man just passed his degree last week. The Iron Warrior, who has passed his 32nd birthday, has reached the stage where he needs to strengthen his maintenance.

Therefore, according to the plan of the coaching team, Natto will give up all the grass-court events before Wimbledon for the second consecutive year after the French Open, and take a good vacation for himself, so that he can recover from the injuries all over his body.

In this year's French Open, Fei Tianwang is still absent, Djokovic and Murray and other famous players also performed poorly and were eliminated early, making tennis fans all over the world feel that the Big Four model that has dominated tennis for several years has finally arrived On the verge of collapse.Fortunately, there is Rafa who has been clenching his teeth and defending the final camp for the older generation of players.

However, his competitive state has not returned to the peak level. Although he scored 3-0 in the previous rounds, his mistakes have increased significantly compared to previous years.In the quarter-finals, facing the Argentine "Bantam" Schwarzerman, Natto's record of not losing a set in this French Open was terminated. On the second day, after the game, many people thought that a shocking upset might be staged here.

However, after setting foot on the final venue, the King of Clay finally regained his dominance, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 in straight sets and defeated Tim Without temper at all, No. 11 successfully lifted the Musketeers Cup, creating a new history.

Seeing their friends showing bright smiles again after overcoming all kinds of hardships, both Li Mudi and Zidane who came to help out felt that their hearts had been sublimated.Qi Zu, who had just resigned from Real Madrid, came to the scene to watch the game with his wife and sons. In order to facilitate communication, the Turin coach did not sit in Nadal's box, but also bought high-priced tickets for the grandstand.

At the simple celebration banquet after the game, the three of them rarely got together, drank half a glass of champagne each, and had a long conversation about football, tennis, and charity. .

After breakfast the next day, Natto and Li Moody flew back to Mallorca on the same flight. The former had to return home to deal with private affairs, while the latter had to prepare for the guests who arrived earlier.Then Qi Zu left Paris with his family. They will go back to their hometown Marseille to pack their luggage first, and then they will rush to Mallorca.

On the 13th, an extremely lively private banquet was held at the farm of Li Moody's family. With the blessings of more than 200 relatives and friends of both parties, Li Mudi and Lin Yuner once again experienced the happiest feeling in the world.

But the happiness did not disappear because of the end of the engagement ceremony, because the next day was the opening day of the World Cup in Russia.For football fans, their event will turn the whole world into a paradise in the coming month.For Li Moody, his part-time job will officially start.
