Chapter 150: Small Emotions
Next is the medals, none of the four have been upgraded, and they are still a little far from being upgraded.
Player's Friend Level 2: 287/1000 (the sum of the accumulated respect points of active players), the effect is to appropriately reduce the player's resistance; Since the new team has only been in place for a short time, and the relationship with them has only just been established, the increase is not large.
Friends of Colleagues Level 2: 322/1000 (the sum of the respect values of the staff who have worked with them), the effect is to slightly increase the cohesion of the staff team; As with the Friends of the Players Medal, all the staff in Turin are now working with Lee Moodi for the first time, and some have to start from scratch. However, fortunately, due to the influence of the medal effect, and the fact that everyone is very kind and has a very good professional attitude, it seems that the run-in is still very fast, and it is hoped that a united and powerful collective will be formed after a period of time.
Conductor Master 1: 440/1000 (accumulate points earned in various matches), the effect is to slightly shorten the time for players to run-in; Italy's top league naturally offers far more points than La Liga 2, with 30 points for a league win, 10 for a draw, and an extra bonus if the opponent is a strong team. In addition, in the Coppa Italia, points are determined based on the number of rounds and the strength of the opponent, and there are additional rewards for successful promotion. In short, this medal is the most promising to be upgraded now, and the players have also enjoyed the effect of shortening the run-in time of the players, which is the most useful medal in Li Mudi's hands at the moment.
Master Level: 18/100 (the sum of the accumulated team's ability growth value), the effect is to slightly enhance the team's training effect; Although the average age of Torino's first-team players is only 25.44 years old, it is 11th among all 20 teams in Serie A this season, which is not too big or too small, but in fact, after dividing it according to the growth curve, it will be found that the overall improvement space of the team is not very large. There are as many as seven veterans over the age of 30 represented by Vives and Moretti, who are already in a period of decline in ability, and even a superstar like Ronaldo who is strict with himself will inevitably be unable to do so after the age of 30, let alone these people. There are a total of 10 players between the ages of 24 and 29 who are at the peak of their ability, and most of them will find it difficult to improve, even if the potential value is not fully realized, but unless it is the kind of player who is very hard working and has a strong professional attitude, the ability can only stop there. Finally, there are ten young players under the age of 23, and only they are the main source of training for the promotion of the Master Medal, but there is not much room for growth for Belotti and Baseli, and it is difficult for Boyer and Bareka and others to get too many opportunities to play because of their strength, so the future is not very bright! Li Mudi wants to upgrade this medal, and it seems that he will have to further rejuvenate the squad in the coming season. Life has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
On 4 September, the squad resumed normal training, and in addition to the four senior national team selections of Belotti, Ayettei, Joe Hart and Rajjdzic, Vallejo, Issa Diop, Barreka, John Hosette and Febas were called up by the youth national teams at all levels and will not be able to return to the club until tomorrow, so there are only 18 first-team players left in the training ground for the time being. Li Mudi temporarily transferred four young players from the U20 to form exactly two sets of 22 teams, ready to play a game in the last half hour of the afternoon, and see what kind of problems there are in the actual battle.
The morning training was still based on individual exercises, and the coaching staff divided everyone into an offensive group, a defensive group and a goalkeeper group. The contact items of the offensive group are subdivided into specific contents such as shooting, crossing, quick passing between two or three people, dribbling, etc.; The defensive group is mainly trained in scrambling for headers, marking and defensive anticipation and positioning; The goalkeeper group is all about goal-line saves, judging where to land a high ball and making a shot. Of course, there are also idioms that all or most people have to practice, such as long passing, running off the ball and physical fitness.
According to the usual practice, after the players have done enough warm-up activities, they form a large circle in the center of the field and start to play the game of grabbing the circle, commonly known as "walking monkeys". This game is actually one of the most commonly used methods in football training, which can not only exercise the accuracy and strength of passing, but also improve the collaborative execution of defense and steals, and of course, the most important thing is to enliven the atmosphere of the team, so that the players can have a relaxed and happy attitude to carry out a somewhat boring and boring variety of projects, and play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort.
The kind of game with a small number of participants is still mainly for training purposes, but this kind of large group activity together is more like a kind of entertainment, playing once a day in the morning and afternoon, and the loser is responsible for staying at the end to sort out the training equipment, which has become a regular item for Li Mudi's coaching team, and it is deeply loved by everyone. However, in today's game, the coaches who had been watching the game found that several players were not as excited as usual, but looked very dull, which was a little strange. After this question was reflected to the head coach of the team who stayed in the office building and was preparing the next training plan, Li Mudi also had to sigh and think to himself: "It's really the life of a nanny, in addition to commanding the win, I also have to act as a psychiatrist for these players who are always in a mood, it's really busy." Then he went to the training ground and brought in the trio of Baseli, Akwa and Bruno Perez.
In fact, when he checked the team information through the FM system before, Li Mudi found that the status of these people was displayed as: unhappy, the reason is that they were not selected for the latest national team list. When he saw this situation at the time, he still thought that it was not a big problem, and that there would be a few days off after the league match against Bologna, as long as the players used the vacation to relax and figure it out, and they didn't need to pay special attention. Who knows that when they start training again in a few days, their problems have not been solved yet, and even affected today's training, which is unbearable and must be dealt with in time.
When the three players came to the sidelines, they could see the first look at the manager with a very ugly face, and they roughly understood the reason for being called, and their expressions couldn't help but become a little nervous. Although Li Mudi is only seven years older than the oldest of them, Brazilian, the former is the boss of the team, with absolute leadership, and as a player, you must respect and follow his orders. At this time, seeing that the other party was a little angry, they became more cautious one by one, hoping to cope with the past and try to avoid scolding.
Although he was in a bad mood now, Li Mudi did not get angry as soon as he came up, but looked at them in turn with sharp eyes and analyzed the situation they were in for the three of them: "First of all, Akwa, I am not familiar with the Ghana national team, but with the complete farewell of Essien, Muntari and Boateng, there will inevitably be a vacuum in the team's midfield." Former Chelsea boss and Israeli Avram Grant has the African Cup of Nations early next year as his first target is the most, so he will try to scout as many players in this position as possible before the start of the season. I've probably checked before and there are only four players in the midfield midfield position who have the quality to be selected for the national team, Rabiu for Evian in Ligue 2, Badu for Udinese, Vakaso for Panathinaikos and you, so if nothing happens you will definitely be playing in next year's Africa Cup of Nations. However, as for whether you can become the main team, it will depend on the performance in the next few months, but in my opinion, you are definitely the best choice with the strongest defensive ability. Still have questions? ”
first dispelled the Ghanaian midfielder's worries about the loss, and then gave him a reassurance with player information that is difficult for outsiders to know, and he naturally won't be bothered anymore. Although he didn't recover immediately, it only took time to think about it to know that what the manager said was very reasonable, so Akwa immediately said that there was no problem after hearing Li Mudi's inquiry, and immediately apologized for his unprofessional performance at the training ground just now. The Torino coach nodded and said coolly: "Run ten laps around the training ground, and then go back to continue the project, and the tasks pulled down during this time must be completed before you can have lunch." The Ghanaian replied with a "yes" and then turned around and began to run in circles.
The second one to solve is Bruno Pérez, looking at the head coach of the team who just said a few words to play Acwa, the Brazilian was still a little surprised, and saw Li Mudi turn his face to his side, so he hurriedly cheered up and prepared to listen to the analysis against him. The Torino coach really did not disappoint him, and he opened his mouth to "dry goods": "The situation of the Brazilian national team is a bit special, Corinthians coach Tite, who has just taken over the coaching whip from Dunga, is still relatively new to us coaches in European football, but I watched Brazil's away World Cup South American qualifier against Ecuador the day before yesterday, he used a four-back formation, and there is no full-back in the midfield, so your potential position in the national team is right wing-back." Now let's take a look at the competitors in this position, as far as the current situation is concerned, although Alves is 33 years old, he is still in good form, starting the first two league games at Juventus, and Tite also trusts him very much, so no one else can shake his main position in a short period of time. All you need to do is compete with Corinthians' Fagner for the right-back spot, a player who has suffered a defeat at PSV Eindhoven in Europe with a solid defence but a lack of assists, and the right-back in the same vein as Cafu, McCone and Alves should be you, as is traditionally required by the Brazilian national team. So as long as you can complete the assist task in the next league in strict accordance with the tactics I set, I believe it will definitely attract Tite's attention, and it will be a matter of time before you are selected for the national team. He looked at Bruno Perez with an inquiring look.
In addition to moving to a stronger club, the Brazilian's other biggest wish is to play for his country, and after hearing this analysis, I feel that there is some truth to it, and it is a planned task to perform well in the future games. Because as long as he can show strong assist ability, then attracting the attention of other giants and being selected for the national team is a matter of course, and at the worst, he will have to get a new contract with a large salary increase from the Torino club. So I directly admitted my mistake and promised that I would not affect my future training because of my emotions. So after receiving the same penalty for running ten laps, the second one left here.
In the end, only Basseri was left, and the Italian midfielder was actually the most resentful of the three. The strength of the European Championship has proven that the Azzurri are lacking in midfield playmaking, and he proved himself to be the playmaker of the younger generation in Serie A last season. It's a pity that the former mentor Ventura ushered in Verratti's return from injury in the first two games after taking office, and the old foxes, who are very conservative in their bones, still follow the player framework of the Conte period, and the midfield is still the team that participated in the 2016 European Championship in France: Candreva, Florenzi, Parolo and veteran De Rossi were all selected, in addition to AC Milan's two main players Montolivo and Bonaventura. In addition to Roma's Florenzi and Inter's Candreva who mainly play on the wing, the remaining five players are all direct competitors of Baseli, and they are all experienced and powerful, and they are still old, so how can Baseli, who has just turned 23 years old, have a chance?
Li Mudi's analysis made the young Torino midfielder feel a little desperate, even if the former later comforted that the new coach would inevitably recruit more new players in future friendly matches to prepare for future renewals. However, Verratti, who plays a similar style to Barceli, was born in November 92, only more than 4 months older than him, but whether in terms of fame or strength, the opponent has firmly suppressed him. This means that Barcelona will always be a substitute for Verratti during his career with the Italian national team, and will always be shrouded in the shadow of the latter, unless the manager dares to put both men on the pitch at the same time. But that would cause problems for the team's overall defence, just as Torino now has to deal with the problem of whether Matchli and Benassi can play at the same time. Li Mudi at least has the courage to try, and the Italian manager, who is known for his traditional conservatism, basically no one dares to do so, as long as Verratti is not injured, then Barceli is likely to retire as a national team substitute, and it is understandable that he will be extremely frustrated at this time.
The Torino manager has no good way to deal with this situation, but to encourage the players to train hard, play with all their might, do their best in their own aspects, and then see if there are any variables.
finally got rid of the three players who were in a mood for the time being, but who knew that a day later, another player would be dissatisfied, Li Mudi said: If it goes on like this, I will also have a little emotion!
