Mister Legend

Chapter 477 A Firm Choice

Although the frequent upsets made the supporters of the traditional strong teams and many lottery players feel a little unacceptable, the World Cup schedule is still going on in an orderly manner, and the new games quickly attracted everyone's attention. Let everyone's previous feelings be temporarily left behind.

In the first round of the group stage, Li Mudi did not follow the whole process as the domestic fans hoped. Even though his commentary was not as mature and experienced as the other two guests Xu Yang and Yang Chen, the super popularity and some ordinary people who broke out from time to time were hard to follow. Knowing the private information (using the plug-in of the FM system, he can tell the transfer status of the players and what weaknesses can be targeted without any pressure), plus he always inadvertently teases the Chinese Football Association and the National Football Association, All these have made this commentator get quite a lot of supporters.Of course, his partner was a little upset and had to be ready to wipe his ass at any time.

However, due to some personal affairs and the urgent work of the club, the Turin coach only temporarily left Russia after commenting on three high-profile games, and went to the capital and Italy successively, until the second place in the group stage. After more than half of the round, I hurriedly returned to this part-time position.

It's okay to talk about the affairs of the Celestial Dynasty. It was originally within his plan, so the delay is not much.During the World Cup, most of the top manufacturers in China would naturally be unable to let go of this great opportunity to catch the heat, and all kinds of football-related advertisements were overwhelming.And in this very special period, whose image will attract more attention from fans than Li Mudi?So not long after the Turin team just won the European League Championship, Li Mudi's foreign and domestic agency teams received countless endorsement invitations from Fortune 500 companies. Calm down.

Li Moody, who was originally unwilling to let his image be overly consumed in business, had to convince himself to be a so-called "traffic" star in order to increase the success rate of his future club acquisition plan, but he still put forward strict screening requirements .And Guinness and others also know the truth that too much is too late, and they will not do things that are exhausted for the immediate benefit, so after a whole week of hard selection, they finally left six new endorsement invitations.

Due to time constraints, there was no time to make video commercials, so they were all static pictures, which didn’t take too much time. The gap between the end of the season and his return to Spain to prepare for the engagement ceremony was easily handled.However, this batch of new endorsements, coupled with the previous endorsements of Yili Dairy, Huawei Mobile, FAW-Volkswagen, etc., made the Turin coach time to form a dominant screen effect after entering the World Cup warm-up stage, especially Before and after the programs related to the World Cup, his too ordinary face must appear, and many fans joked that they were sick of watching it.

The purpose of returning to China this time is to give a platform for the activities of several endorsement manufacturers. Two days is enough, and it will not delay the interpretation work.

But who knows, an important situation suddenly occurred in Italy, and the team coach had to go to deal with it in person, which extended this small holiday beyond the plan.Fortunately, CCTV was quite reasonable, and the contract signed before clearly stipulated that if Li Mudi encountered urgent work with the club, he could focus on that side, so there was no dispute.

It is of course extremely important for him, a person who can't rest well after changing the bed and pays great attention to sleep quality, to take the night flight despite his physical fatigue and continue to suffer shortly after arriving in Moscow.Regarding the team's striker adjustment plan, it has reached a critical stage as long as it is important. It needs the relevant person in charge to make a final decision in a timely manner after careful study, otherwise it is likely to face a chicken-and-egg situation.

According to club president Urbano Cairo's prediction, the team's most important transfer operation this summer is to sell Belotti to AC Milan and then sign Balotelli.In this way, not only can you get a huge sum of money, but you can also get the friendship of Italian agent Raiola, which will bring greater convenience to the team's future signings.

Previously, Marco Fassone, the general manager of the Rossoneri, had put forward an offer in private communication that made him feel a bit difficult to choose: 5000 million euros plus Locatelli and Cutrone.Although it did not fully meet the Turin chairman's psychological expectation of 1.2 million cash, the two local stars with unlimited potential still attracted him. Yi Luo should not object to this deal.

Because Immobile played extremely bravely in the season that just ended, coupled with the rapid progress of the young player Pellegri, and Balotelli's free replacement, the chairman of Turin felt that it was time to sell Red Beibei It has matured, and I am afraid that another year's delay will affect the player's worth.

So when AC Milan came up with a revised plan again: a down payment of 2500, the remaining 6000 million to be paid in four years, plus Locatelli, to test his attitude, although he said that he would not accept the installment payment method, in fact In his heart, Urbano Cairo thought it acceptable to make a bargain on this basis.

The most important reason that made him change his previous resolute refusal to accept player deductions and installment payment is naturally Li Moody's reluctance to renew his new contract with the team.Although it is no longer mentioned on the surface, almost all the senior management of the club are very clear that Mr. Chairman has not given up on the grand plan of building a new stadium of his own, and has also started various aspects in private. Preliminary work, such as frequent negotiations with potential new sponsors.

Everyone knows that the club is currently favored by many local tyrants, mainly due to the head coach of the team, and once he leaves, the billboards and other decorations with oriental elements inside and outside the stadium and the residence will also be gone. Then disappeared in an instant.In order to avoid the tragic situation of returning to the old society overnight, the club's top management has begun to look for new partners a year in advance.After all, the performance of the team is here, and it is still very attractive to those second-tier European brands, not to mention the Japanese companies that have cooperated with them before. The other party has seen the outstanding performance of the Red Bulls in the past two seasons. Changed from the look of resentment when he was squeezed away, now it has become a gesture of wanting to kneel and lick.

Therefore, the Turin club is not too worried about future commercial benefits. Although it is obviously not realistic to hit the high sponsorship fees of Juventus and Milan, it is enough for them to maintain the top six levels of Serie A. This is already It's much better than two years ago. You can't be too greedy.

The installment payment method proposed by AC Milan is 500-800 million euros higher than the one-time payment. Although this difference is not very helpful to the construction plan of the new stadium, it can also play a role at critical moments.And there is another advantage of staging, which is that it can be used as a reason to limit the transfer investment in each season, and it can also ensure a steady stream of water.

Even if Li Mudi, who helped the team regain its life, cannot be retained, the team's future coach must be a well-known figure. According to common sense, the other party will inevitably ask the club to make a big move in the transfer market.If he got the full payment this summer, in order to increase the success rate of winning the league championship, Li Moody will definitely use most or even all of the funds to invest in signings, making it possible to face no money to spend in the next few years situation.Looking at it this way, the staging method is obviously more beneficial to the club. No wonder the chairman's attitude is so vague.

Regarding the thoughts of Urbano Cairo and other high-level executives, Li Moody hadn't guessed at all, but he didn't intend to intervene.It is extremely rare to be able to have a great say in the team's transfer. Do you really think that you are qualified to dictate the club's future development plan?

As for the successor, he has nothing to feel sorry for, not mentioning whether he has an obligation to help him obtain more transfer funds, but relying on this group of players in the current team lineup is already regarded as a gift he gave to the other party. A small fortune.Whether it is the authoritative transfer media or the FM system, the value of the Turin players is basically much higher than when Li Mudi took over or the players joined the team, and the age structure is also very reasonable. According to the new coach, he must first clean up some of his predecessors. The practice of the supporters is enough to bring him a lot of transfer funds.

The key now is whether the behavior of selling Belotti and replacing him with Bashen will help the team strengthen and hit the league championship next season. This is the key issue Li Moody is most eager to study now.

As mentioned before, in terms of technical characteristics, Balotelli is obviously more suitable for the current style of play of the Turin team. His outstanding ability to hold and pass the ball allows the team's head coach to deploy frontcourt players more flexibly. Whether it is a single striker or a double striker, the tactics can be flexibly switched to each other. Not only can it save the number of substitutions, but more importantly, it can adjust its strategy at any time according to the situation on the field. This is extremely rare.

But with the rise of the Red Bulls in the past two seasons, their opponents have also begun to use tactics that focus on defense and even bustling more frequently. In the face of dense defense, Belotti, the best local A center forward can bring a huge offensive ability, which is difficult for Immobile, Balotelli and others.

Therefore, from a tactical point of view, both forwards have advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to distinguish the superior for a while.It's just that the mental worlds of the players themselves are very different, and in the end, Li Moody made his own decision without difficulty, because he felt that he would definitely not be able to manage a creature that might be from an alien planet.

The earliest things can be traced back to the first ten days of May. On May 5, in the penultimate round of the league when Nice lost 6-1 to Marseille, Balotelli formed a formation with the opposing defender Sarr in the No. 2 minute of the game. After a fierce physical confrontation, he received a yellow card, and was later captured by the TV broadcast camera with suspected insults to the referee on duty.

Through the referee's post-match report and the interpretation of lip-language experts, Bashen cursed in English, "Every time, it's a fucking French referee, every time."

Afterwards, the Ligue [-] League quickly stated that it would investigate the matter and issued a ticket within two days. The Italian striker, who has always been subject to various controversies in his career, will be punished for speaking rudely to the referee. Suspension for four games and a fine of [-] euros.Considering that there are only two rounds left in this season's league, the suspension will continue to the next season, which means that Balotelli, who has decided to leave France in the summer, will say goodbye to this country in advance.

So this player, whose brain circuit is far from the same channel as the earth's creatures, openly complained about the French referee's ability on a private social network platform. In the future, it is really possible to be refused entry to the French border.

In the case that the Turin team did not give an attitude of acceptance in time, Raiola did not sit back and watch the situation develop in a direction that was not conducive to him, but actively looked for other new clubs that were willing to accept his players.

On May 5, the Italian media "All Market" released exclusive news, saying that Bashen may join the Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund next season.Because just a few days ago, both France and Germany revealed that Nice coach Farfe will take over Dortmund's coaching position this summer. The drama on the leading edge is still not surprising.

In addition, according to some gossip, teams such as Fiorentina, Marseille and Lokomotiv Moscow have also revealed the idea of ​​signing this Italian striker who is in his prime.But through the FM system, Li Moody can clearly see that these rumors are not very reliable, at least at the end of June, and not even a team has provided a formal offer for Balotelli. It shows that everyone does not have enough confidence in being able to control this "man of God".

This happened when the new Italian national team coach Mancini has been supporting his former lover. At the end of May, the former Inter Milan coach will have missed the Azzurri for four years despite the huge controversy among the fans. Bashen, who had been there for a long time, was called back to the national team and was also sent to the friendly matches against Saudi Arabia and France.

In the game when he wore the national team jersey for the first time after four years, Balotelli played an eye-catching start and scored the first goal to help the team open the scoring, but this performance could not make other clubs firmly introduce His determination can be seen from this, how bad his personal image is in the eyes of the outside world, and Li Mudi is no exception.

And another reason for the determination of the Turin coach is that it comes from AC Milan. Because the financial situation of the other party is too complicated, the chairman position of "Brother Li" seems to be lost at any time.And even if this problem is solved, the Rossoneri may not be able to make up even a down payment of 2500 million within a week after the transfer window opens as requested by Li Moody. Interfere with the team's preparations.

So after careful consideration for a period of time, the Turin coach finally decided to give up the possibility of selling Belotti and keep the Italian international.In the new season, the Red Bulls will still continue last year's striker lineup. After receiving stronger support from their teammates in the midfield, it is still worth looking forward to their outstanding performance.
