Chapter 494 The end of the winter break
After a hard-fought campaign to claim the title, it was a simple celebration for Torino when assistant coach Javi Platz announced the decision to take the official break.
After the end of the league this weekend, Italian football will enter the annual winter break. There are exactly two weeks before the first game of 2019 is scheduled, and for most teams, there will be There is an additional week of adjustment time.
In the spring of 2018, the Italian Olympic Committee (part of the responsibilities are equivalent to the domestic sports directorate) made a decision at a meeting to discuss the reform of the Italian professional football league. Certain adjustments have been made to issues such as match day arrangements.This matter has been mentioned many times in the article, so it is a waste of pen and ink here.
Another decision on the reform of the Coppa Italia system was also passed at that meeting, which had a great impact on many participating teams, especially the strong teams in Serie A.
Compared with the original rules implemented in 2007, the new competition system retains the arrangement of seed teams. The top eight teams in the Serie A standings last season will still directly enter the top sixteen and will not meet immediately.But the most important change is the choice of venue.
Previously, the venue of each game was determined according to the ranking results of the opponents in the previous season, and the side with the better score would have home court advantage.Therefore, Juventus, the seven consecutive Serie A champions, will sit at home in every round (in the semi-finals of the two rounds, they will be away first and then host), which is one of the important reasons why they have won the Coppa Italia for four consecutive years. one.After all, the strength is stronger than the opponent, and it also has the support of the home fans and the convenience of the field adaptability. If it still loses, it will be a shocking upset.
However, the Italian Olympic Committee and the Football Association obviously believe that such an arrangement is not reasonable enough, and it is not conducive to other weaker teams to achieve better results.So he decided to make a change, following the example of the FA Cup and League Cup in the English League, and let the venue be generated by drawing lots, which can be regarded as a boon for small and medium teams.
At the end of July, the Football Association and Serie A simultaneously announced the schedule for the 2018-19 season at all levels of the league and the Coppa Italia. Last season's Serie A runner-up, Torino, was placed in the sixth seed position. Also in the lower half are Fiorentina, Inter Milan and Juventus.
The result of this draw is still relatively bad for the Turin team who want to go one step further on the basis of last year's runner-up.If the Red Bulls can successfully advance to the quarterfinals, they should have a great chance of winning against Violet.But the semi-final is a huge difficulty. Both Juventus and Inter Milan are strong opponents. The difficulty of reaching the final is not ordinary.
But that's all for later. The Turin team's first opponent in the domestic cup this season has been determined in early December. It is Frosinone who has just returned to the ranks of the first division.Although the opponent was lucky enough to have the home court advantage, the strength gap between the two sides is somewhat obvious, so not many people think that Li Moody's team will capsize.From the odds given by the bookmaker, it can be seen how obvious the advantage of the visiting team is.
So when the victory seemed to be a B, the Turin coach generously and mercifully set the assembly time for most of the players on January 1, which is three days before the first game of the new year.However, those in the first team who usually have less chance to play will go back to report two days in advance, and Li Moody will mix them with some young players drawn from the youth team to play in the first match of the Coppa Italia.
This decision obviously made the players feel very happy, and they all smiled and flattered their bosses, and they were short of shouting "Long live, long live, long live".
With a particularly happy mood, the members of the Turin team started this rare vacation in Tianchao, going home, going abroad for vacation, whatever.Fortunately, there are a few people who went to Xiangjiang to play, but they didn't go to the Oriental Casino to have a good time. The quality of the players is still very reassuring to the management and coaching staff.
As for Li Mudi, naturally he stayed in his homeland and had a good time.Although I stayed in the capital for two days during the period, dealt with some endorsement matters, and accepted some irresistible interviews by the way, I almost became a dog from exhaustion.And during the trip, it was unavoidable to be disturbed by many media, fans and even Lin Yuner's fans, but fortunately, the mood of the whole family remained in a good state.So generally speaking, this trip to China with my parents and fiancee was very successful.
In addition, unlike in the past, Li Moody has no transfer plans this winter. Although the team is far from perfect, considering the club's financial situation, the players that can be introduced in the market, and himself about to leave the team In the current situation, there is really no need for reinforcement.
Even if one or two powerful new aids can be introduced, it will have a considerable impact on the overall running-in of the team, and maybe it will cause the performance to decline instead. It is better to stabilize it.
Therefore, after hearing the news that Juventus announced to sign Bonucci back in order to make up for the loopholes in the defense, even though the Turin executives represented by Urbano Cairo repeatedly asked whether to carry out targeted When asked about reinforcements, Li Mudi gave a negative response, because he really didn't know how to adjust this team.
So when other Serie A powerhouses were spreading all kinds of rumors flying in the transfer market, the Red Bulls were like a prison isolated on a small island, so deserted that they were almost forgotten.
Until the return of the winter break, the Turin team defeated Frosinone 4-2 in the away game and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia with a group of rotation players and young demons. They withdrew due to injury in early December. Since then, the Argentine central midfielder Franco Muses, who failed to enter the squad for any game even after recovering from injury, suddenly found the team coach accompanied by his agent and expressed his wish to leave the team.
Although several teams had been paying attention to this defensive midfielder before, there were no suitors who were particularly interested in the player, so Li Mudi didn't pay much attention to it.Until around New Year's Day, when the European football winter transfer window just started, four teams that were very interested in Muses suddenly appeared in the personal information column of the FM system.But since such situations are too common for the Torino team, Li Moody naturally did not pay special attention.
However, since the player himself has applied for leaving the team, he has already found his next home. Although this surprised the Turin coach, after Ascacibal gained more playing time with his continuous outstanding performance, Musi Si's status in the team inevitably showed a downward trend.With Vukocevic, the Montenegro international, in the same position, it is not a big deal for the Red Bulls whether they will lose the third defensive midfielder.
So after reiterating his purpose of releasing people only when he received a suitable offer, Li Moody sent the two visitors away with a calm face, and was removed from the youth team before the training session that afternoon. Alessandro Ahmetai, a young midfielder who joined from Cesena a year and a half ago, was removed.
On January 1, the Premier League Wolves announced that they had paid 16 million euros to bring Muses to the Molineux Stadium.Although the owner of the opposing club is a consortium from the Chinese Empire, the Turin coach did not deliberately give up profits because of the relationship between his compatriots, but the final transaction price is still relatively "humane".
After obtaining this unplanned income, Li Moody did not generously leave it to the club chairman or future successor who wanted to build a new stadium, but immediately invested it in the transfer market.And on the day when the Serie A winter window closed, that is, the official announcement on the morning of January 1, Brazilian winger Lucas Moura was loaned from Tottenham Hotspur for 19 million euros, and then spent another 150 million. Udinese's native Italian goalkeeper Schuffet was booked.
After spending many years in Paris, the former was signed by the Premier League upstart in January 2018, but he managed to get rid of the squeeze of the two world superstars Neymar and Di Maria, and fell into the competition with Sun Xingmin and Lamela , As a result, White Hart Lane did not get too many playing opportunities after a year.In addition, he doesn't seem to be well adapted to the environment in England, and he hasn't shown his full strength in the limited playing time.
In order for this 25-year-old winger to regain his former state in his hometown in Brazil and in the early days of Paris, Pochettino decided to loan him to several major leagues outside the English League to adjust himself. It happened that Li Modi caught up and took it down in one fell swoop.
However, because the Turin coach could not meet Tottenham's requirement to guarantee the player's main position, he had to agree to pay a loan fee, and the salary for the next five months would naturally be paid by the Italian team.Considering Mora's annual salary of up to 550 million euros, the Turin team spent about 400 million in order to obtain his half-season use rights, which is very expensive.
It's just that in Li Moody's opinion, the price is still within the acceptable range.Although the team performed very well in the first half of the season, it also exposed some problems, one of the more critical ones is the lack of speed ability of the striker.
The counterattack tactics frequently used in the strong dialogue require the offensive players of the Turin team, especially the forwards, to have a strong ability to get rid of and instant explosive power.Among the four forwards in the first team, only Immobile has reached the standard of the head coach, and the other three are just average, which caused the team to miss many times in the game. Such opportunities.
Therefore, Li Mudi has always hoped to introduce a fast forward when he has the opportunity, and he can play the role of a surprise soldier when necessary.
Although Mora was born as a winger, his shooting skills rated as 13 in the FM system are combined with strong dribbling skills and physical fitness. He is also competent as a shadow forward or a forward striker.After all, when he is at the forefront of the team, he only needs to use his speed advantage to get rid of the opponent's defense and everything will be fine. For the Brazilian who is also good at passing the ball, as long as he can theoretically not appear too many times If you grasp the opportunity well in one-handed ball, it will bring huge boost to the whole team.
As for the introduction of Scuffett, it was Li Moody who was entrusted by his little fan, Valentino Cairo.Cassie has decided to leave the mainstream European leagues after the end of this season, while Milinkovic-Savic, who is expected by the club, is somewhat disappointing. The Prince of Turin is worried that the team will suffer When it came to the goalkeeper shortage, he asked the team's head coach to give a reliable solution in advance.
Donnarumma has too many competitors and is too expensive, Palin was poached by Juventus, and Udinese's other talented goalkeeper Meret is firmly in the main position. Not that many, and Schuffett, who had been a bright spot with Meret for a while and is now one step behind in the competition, became the only suitable candidate.
In order to get this 22-year-old who has the potential to become a world-class goalkeeper, the Red Bulls not only need to pay a transfer fee of 600 million euros, but also set a number of floating clauses in the contract with a total value of up to 300 million.But for a talented goalkeeper with a potential value of 160, this price is completely worth it.
However, because Scuffett was loaned to Parma last summer, he could not come to Turin to report for the first time, but this is not a big problem. With Casillas, who is in good condition and not easy to get injured, Turin The team does not urgently need the arrival of the former, so this can be regarded as an investment for the future.
In this way, before the resumption of fighting in Serie A after the winter break, the Red Bulls made one out and two in (actually one in) personnel adjustments.Although the defensive hardness of the midfield has been slightly weakened, the introduction of a fast forward will theoretically strengthen the team's tactical application, so it was evaluated by the media as a B+ level transfer period. operate.
It’s just that compared to Juventus, the biggest competitor in the league, who successively introduced Bonucci and Damian’s big defense, the outside world still generally believes that the strength of the seven consecutive Serie A winners has increased even more, making Juventus in the overall The leading advantage in strength has been further expanded.
Although the current gap of six points does not seem small, the experienced Bianconeri still have a great opportunity to complete the overtake. Who will have the last laugh between the Turin duo will probably be announced at the end of the league .
