Mister Legend

Chapter 480 The Superstar Comes
According to statistics provided by the authoritative company "OPTA" after the game, in this Russia-West battle, the Matador Corps has become the first team to complete a single game in a World Cup since the relevant statistics began in 1966. The thousand-pass team.Moreover, the final number of 1137 times is not only unprecedented, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to match, because in the 120-minute game, the opponent's bus tactics allowed the Spanish team to get 79% of the possession time. It's just too rare.

It stands to reason that being able to use the pass-and-hold tactics to the extreme must only be possible for a hall-level team. Winning the championship is not to say that it is a grasp, at least it should sweep everything. The rhythm of the team is not as strong as your own. But the reality is obviously not following this routine.

Among the astonishing 1000-plus passes, almost more than [-]% were completed in an area that could not pose a threat to the opponent's defense. Just looking at the proportion of passes forward, it is far inferior to Russia, which only has a quarter of their total passes. high.Spanish players just pass the ball for the sake of passing the ball, and most of the time they spend meaningless kicks on the court, just killing time.

Although a total of 25 shots and 9 shots on goal were obtained in the whole game, which looks not bad, but most of them were not completed under good opportunities.With such an obvious advantage, the only goal scored was an own goal from the opponent. From this point, we can see how bad the team's offensive efficiency is.

And if it's only the offensive end that doesn't perform well, it's okay. After all, when they won the championship in 2010, the Matador Legion scored very few goals, almost carrying forward the 1-0 doctrine to the extreme.But even the defensive ability that was previously considered the world's top has shown an unimaginably poor performance, which makes it difficult not to feel angry.

Pique and Ramos, two of the world's top central defenders, have made big mistakes in this World Cup. Carvajal, who can compete for the world's number one right back in the club, even lost his starting position. Alva, who added an assist, became the relatively best performer in the defense, which is somewhat ironic.

But what is really desperate is that the main goalkeeper De Gea seems to be possessed or taken away by an amateur goalkeeper, and he has become two completely different people from when he was in the club.In the regular time of the four games played (that is, not counting penalty shootouts), the Ducks were shot by the opponent seven times (3 times in Portugal, 3 times in Morocco, 1 time in Russia, and 0 times in Iran). Except for the one-handed kick that Moroccan striker Butaib took the initiative to kick towards his chest, he failed to save six times.

And the data of making only one successful save is the goalkeeper with the fewest saves in a single session since the 1966 World Cup. Who would have expected this to happen to the world's number one goalkeeper before the game?

After the game, the media all over the world made their own comments on the exit of the former world champion, and most of them used words similar to self-immolation and self-immolation to criticize.Of course, the ones who scolded the most were the domestic media.

"Marca", "Aspen", "Mundo Deportivo" and other Spanish media directly scolded this national team, from interim coach Hierro to every player, almost No one was spared.There are also a few tabloids who use Lafayette as a target in order to attract attention and increase sales.Anyway, before the start of the new league season, the whole country was in a state of scolding, which fully demonstrated what it means to love deeply and hate deeply.

However, in this general environment, there are still other things worthy of everyone's attention. The first focus event is the announcement of Iniesta's retirement from the national team.

Although this situation has been announced before the start of the World Cup, when this moment really comes, fans still find it difficult to let go of their nostalgia for the football master, and they leave messages on the Internet expressing their condolences to the veteran Regards and best wishes.

Since May 2006, 5, the moment when he wore the jersey of the Spanish adult national team for the first time, Iniesta has played 27 international A-level matches for his motherland in 12 years of selfless dedication. With 136 goals including the golden overtime goal in the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa, he also contributed 13 assists. During the period, the most critical participant and meritorious figure throughout the process.

His departure also marks a complete farewell to the golden generation of Spain. From then on, people can only find the art of passing and controlling football that everyone will find pleasing in the film and television materials.

In addition, if there is no accident, the two veterans Reina and Silva will completely take off the national team jersey in the near future, and Ramos, Pique and others who are over [-] years old will at most be able to play again. It is only two years after the European Cup, and the arrival of a large-scale renewal of the Matador Corps seems to be not far away.

As for Li Moody, in addition to reminiscing about the disappearance of Tiki-Taka with the mentality of fans in his previous life, he naturally focused his attention on his friend Hierro while working as a part-time commentator.Spain's success in the first round of the knockout round is certainly unsatisfactory. Although the president of the Football Association gritted his teeth and insisted on not regretting the decision to change coaches before the battle, the current situation is that someone must take the blame. Obviously, the Real Madrid star is one of the candidates who can't escape no matter what.

Although he thinks that his big brother is indeed not suitable for the job of the head coach of the team, if because of this unreasonable disaster (to be honest, his lack of coaching ability is one of the main reasons for the early exit of the Spanish team, but he himself is not You should not suffer too much blame for this, because taking over the national team coach this time is a product of the situation, not to mention the time. At least few people are willing to become Lopetegui's under such unfavorable circumstances. successor) and was forced to leave the national team position, it would be somewhat wronged.

To be honest, Li Mudi is very interested in the position of the head coach of the Matador Legion. Even if there is no external support, he can know the football foundation of this country only by relying on the various information he has collected during the years of working in Real Madrid's various age echelons. How strong it is.There are a lot of good seedlings who can play football. Even if all the international players in the current adult national team are removed, within three or four years, a brand new team can be cultivated, and the strength is also world-class.

It's a pity that although he has the country's household registration, he is an immigrant from the Chinese Dynasty. Even if he doesn't offend the chairman of the Football Association, he has no chance at all.However, out of concern for his second home country, he still hopes that Hierro, who has done a great job as the sports director, can return to his original position, and then choose a suitable candidate from a large number of local coaches. In charge of the coaching seal, the future of the Spanish national team is still worth looking forward to.

Just before the Turin coach calmed down the complex emotions in his heart and turned his attention back to the next commentary task, he received a call from Valentino Cairo from Italy. Inter Milan Inquiring about Benassi, and the midfielder's agent also submitted an application for leaving the team to the club almost at the same time.

Li Moody, who had been prepared for this situation, quickly gave his own suggestion: 2500 million euros plus the right of first refusal for striker supernova Pinamonti.

As the core midfielder of the Turin team in the previous three seasons, Marco Benassi, who was born in 1994, had a relatively comfortable life during his four-year effectiveness in the Red Bulls.Especially after the arrival of Li Mudi in the summer of 2016, the team's performance jumped into the ranks of the top teams in Serie A. He himself also played a very good performance. Although he still failed to realize his dream of playing for the country, but in the local organization At the current stage when small midfielders are scarce, his future development prospects are still very promising.

It's just that since the team changed to a 3-5-2 formation last season, Benassi, who had been playing as a central midfielder before, was repeatedly mentioned by the head coach as the midfielder, a position he didn't like, which not only seriously affected his personal Sentiment also caused serious shrinkage of its data.

相较于2016-17赛季各项赛事出场37次、打入7球并送出13次助攻的亮眼表现，在刚刚结束的那一年当中，贝纳西的数据统计变成了41战5球8助攻，效率明显的下降了不少。

And after the Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandez joined the Turin team, and Cagliari's midfield star Nicolo Barrera officially returned to the team after the end of the loan period, Benassi believes that his playing time is very likely to be severely restricted. Squeezed, this is completely unacceptable for him who is determined to prove his strength in front of the new national team coach Mancini, so as to get the chance to be selected for the Azzurri.

So in the middle and late last season, Benassi, who had the idea of ​​leaving the team because of sharing playing time with Baselli and other teammates, when the team's lineup for the new season was basically determined, he immediately decided to switch to a family that could His determination to commit to the team's main position.

Just at this time, the old club Inter Milan (Benassi joined the Inter Milan U17 youth team from the Modena youth training camp when he was 19 years old, and it was not until 2014 that he was bought by the Turin team for 440 million euros. Black Career) contacted his agent Francisco Romano, expressed the hope that the playmaker can be welcomed back.And the head coach Spalletti also stated that in his plan, Benassi will replace the Spanish veteran Valero and become the team's main force for the new season together with Brozovic and the newly joined Nainggolan. field combination.

Faced with the strong invitation from one of the three major domestic giants and his former club, Benassi nodded and agreed without too much hesitation. For this reason, he did not hesitate to use the method of submitting an application for leaving the team to reject the possibility of losing his current team. It can be said that the persuasion actions carried out were ruined.

However, he obviously thought too much. All along, Li Moody has always adhered to the transfer philosophy of "as long as the price is reasonable, everything is free to come and go", and rarely does anything to force players to stay.Even if AC Milan wanted to buy Belotti, although he was not very willing, he did not forcefully stop it.It was only because the other party was in deep financial crisis that they could not come up with funds in line with the player's worth in a short period of time, so the Turin coach who was unwilling to prepare for the affected game rejected the transaction proposal.

Even Hong Beibei, the number one star and main shooter in the team, Li Moody did not intend to force him to stay, let alone Benassi, the midfielder position of the Torino team can be said to be quite strong, and anyone who is missing can He can play well, and there are a large number of excellent supplementary candidates, so he is not afraid of being poached at all.

It’s just the same sentence, people who want me have to give something of their value in exchange, either real money that can satisfy the Turin coach’s psychological bottom line, or you can use Xi’er to pay off the debt—ah, no, It is the potential that comes in exchange too.In short, even if Li Mudi's shop is not a black shop, if you want to spend and enjoy it here, you must have enough money, otherwise... Hehehe!

And when Li Modi was calculating what he could earn from this transaction with a sinister face, and subconsciously flipped through the focus news of European football in his mind, he was suddenly caught by an ongoing transfer event. I was so shocked that my heart probably missed a beat because of it.Because this news is too unbelievable!

Juventus is actively contacting football super agent Mendes, they hope to bring the 33-year-old Ronaldo from the Bernabeu to the Allianz Arena.

Immediately afterwards, this super transfer event, which should have been in a state of secret transaction, was quickly learned by the well-informed media. On July 7, the front page of "Turin Sports Daily" printed a photo of the president celebrating after scoring a goal in the World Cup, with the text: "C Ronaldo and Juventus, what a story!" However, the article also admitted that , although the Agnelli family believes that the Portuguese captain is the best candidate to help the team break the curse of the Champions League, but facing the termination fee of up to one billion euros in the opponent's contract, the Serie A hegemony has no chance of success.

Soon, the Spanish "Marca" also published an article, confirming that Juventus' interest in Ronaldo is real, and the possibility of this deal becoming a reality is not low, because Real Madrid is likely to agree to transfer the president to Ronaldo. The termination fee was lowered to 1.2 million, which shows Lafayette's firm determination to sell the team's top star.

Afterwards, all kinds of relevant news appeared on the screen, covering up all other football news except the World Cup, especially on the Spanish side, even temporarily forgetting the liquidation after the disgraceful exit of the national team. He invested in this transfer that may change the world football pattern.

As the reports continue to deepen, everyone has basically determined that Ronaldo's "fantasy" of switching to Juventus is about to become a reality, because Real Madrid did not deny the previous rumors.When the Italian and Spanish media broke the news at the same time, the Bianconeri had submitted an offer of 1 million euros to the Galaxy Battleship, and offered the players a four-year, after-tax annual salary of 3000 million (up to 6000 million before tax). ) invitation contract.These two conditions are not much different from the psychological bottom line of the parties concerned. After a wave of bargaining, it is very likely that a consensus will be reached in a short period of time.

As a result, Juventus supporters became excited. Although the introduction of a 33-year-old veteran at such a high price would have caused criticism before, the president was the only exception.Judging from his performance in this World Cup, his physical fitness is still quite good, not inferior to other 27 or 8-year-old players who are at their peak, and his world's top skills and fighting spirit are even more impressive. It will bring an immeasurable role model to Juventus players who were always willing to lose the chain at critical moments in the European war.So apart from a few people, the general opinion is still very optimistic about this transfer deal.

Li Mudi doesn't know whether Ronaldo's future performance will swell the faces of Real Madrid and Lafayette. He just knows that his original plan of trying to overthrow his rivals in the domestic league is likely to encounter one before the start of the season. major blow.

The seven consecutive champions who are already superior in strength, coupled with one of the two best quasi-ball champions in world football, how can other Serie A teams play?This Hongguoguo is cheating!Do you have?
