Chapter 261: Out of control
In fact, this honorary citizen title really has no practical effect, if you are a businessman, you can be added to ZF's white list, which is conducive to my investment promotion and cooperation business here; In the case of ordinary foreigners, it will bring you the convenience of applying for a green card or immigration, and the simplification of related procedures. However, Li Mudi neither wants to do business here, nor does he want to change his nationality again, so he can only enjoy the spiritual significance it brings.
Of course, it is not accurate to say that there is no practical benefit at all, at least the Turin coach will not have to spend money on tickets when he visits the city in the future, all tickets are free, but only for him, and other service fees should also be spent.
Speaking of this honor, Li Mudi remembered that when filming his cameo in "In the Name of the People", Director Zhao of the Supreme Procuratorate of the Celestial Empire once revealed to him that the country seemed to be studying the bill on setting up national medals and national honorary titles at that time, as if he also hinted that he might gain something, but after so long, why is there no news at all? But it's not good to take the initiative to ask, otherwise it will really become an invitation, so the idea of this matter is completely dusted in his mind.
In fact, he didn't know the specific situation, and the draft of the Law on State Medals and State Honorary Titles was introduced and submitted to people in 2015. The general review has been completed, but the specific implementation has not yet officially begun, and it is estimated that it will not be implemented until the middle of this year. But according to the relevant regulations, Li Mudi really has no possibility of getting one of them now. "VII. One Medal" and "VIII. The "Medal of Friendship", which is not necessary to think about at all, has been completely excluded with his Spanish nationality, and the only "Medal of Friendship" that can be obtained is also very demanding, and he needs to make outstanding contributions to socialist modernization and the promotion of extraterrestrial exchanges and cooperation, and the maintenance of world peace in order to be eligible for election.
As for the credit for notifying the state in advance to prevent THAAD, not to mention whether it is enough to meet the above conditions, and now it cannot be brought to the surface, who knows whether it will be retaliated against by the United States or the people of Kimchi. It is estimated that when Li Mudi finally retires from football, the country may give him such an honor in the name of his outstanding contribution to the development of football, which can be regarded as making up for it.
But not everything is satisfactory, when I was on a video call with my girlfriend at night, I found that the other party's face was a little bad, and he looked very tired, and the beautiful lying silkworms were engulfed in big eye bags. Li Mudi hurriedly asked if there was an accident, but the answer he got did not surprise him at all.
's contract renewal negotiations are still at an impasse, and the other party still does not allow her to sign two brokerage companies at the same time, even if Cambridge Film and Television relaxes the conditions to allow the other party to take over all other businesses in Kimchi Country except for film and television dramas, she is still gritting her teeth and not letting go. And "The King is in Love" has been filming and working for a lot of action scenes recently, which makes Lin Yuna's always healthy body feel a little strained, and there is also a plan to start the return of the 10th anniversary of Girls' Generation, she has to practice dance moves in her spare time, and her physical strength is even tighter.
But the biggest blow to her was the news that Xiuying and Xu Zhuxuan would not renew their contract recently, and they had been dependent on each other for more than ten years since they were trainees, and finally inevitably ushered in the end moment, which made Lin Yun'er, who has always been guarding the name of Girls' Generation, feel a little depressed. In addition, Tiffany's side is not too optimistic, she herself wants to divide the focus of the future evenly between the two countries, allow, which also makes the contract that has been drawn up for a long time not be signed.
Although Jessica had already experienced Jessica's retirement three years ago, she could barely survive when she was missing one person, and this time she lost three at once, and the group really existed in name only. Even if she had considered the possibility of leaving before, but at this time, when she thought that the team that brought her supreme honor and all kinds of bitterness in the past became history, Lin Yuner's emotions instantly stopped, no matter what she did, she couldn't arouse her interest, and even had the idea of quitting the entertainment industry and going to Europe to accompany her boyfriend.
If it is really her idea in a normal state, Li Mudi will definitely be happy, and she can stay with her lover for a long time, this day is not too wonderful! It's a pity that this is just Lin Yuner's cranky thoughts when her mood is impacted, as a boyfriend, the Torino coach can only cheer him on at this time, hoping that the other party can return to normal as soon as possible.
And Lin Xiaolu, who is as strong as a good man, doesn't need too much comfort from others, she has honed her resilience in the entertainment industry for many years, and after telling her boyfriend that she was depressed, she quickly regained her calm, and ended the day's exchange after comforting Li Mudi not to worry about her. In this regard, the Turin coach, who is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the other party and cannot be cared for in time, has nothing else to do except shake his head and smile bitterly.
But back in the world of football, Lady Luck is like a lingering on his head, continuing to bring him and his team good fortune that seems unimaginable to others.
Although he has decided to retire as a player after the end of the season and become a full-time coach, and has passed the national B-level coaching exam during the injury period, he still has not given up saying goodbye to everyone in the last minute of his playing career by standing on the green field. So after getting permission from the doctor, I began to work hard and seriously on the recovery workout. And his professional attitude has also brought the power of example to the players in the other team, so that in the following period, the quality of training of the Torino team is significantly higher than that of the previous days, and everyone's competitive state has also improved a lot.
The second happy thing is that Bari's young right-back Giuseppe Scalera, who has always been favored by the coach, finally has a chance to win, and the Red Bulls have asked the "little rooster" in Serie B to buy this player during this year's winter break, but unfortunately Fiorentina also took a fancy to him, and Scarera finally chose to join the Purple Lily, who looks better on loan. Originally, the loan deal came with a buy-out clause of $4 million, but unfortunately under Paulo Sousa, the young man had no chance to play for the first team at all, and could only play with the Under-19 youth team. With no professional league performances to look at, Fiorentina have decided not to trigger the mandatory buyout agreement, which gives Torino a second chance to bring in the player.
However, this time the situation between the two sides has reversed, there is no other team to compete, as the buyer of the Torino team can rest assured and bold to fight with Barry for the transaction price, I believe that the other party, which has been under greater financial pressure, will not be able to gain much benefit in this deal.
The third thing is from the Italian Under-20 League, where the Bulls defeated arch-rivals Genoa Under-20 2-1 away on Friday to temporarily climb the table by one point, the first time in five years that Torino Under-20s have ruled the Apennine Peninsula, and the club's youth philosophy seems to be starting to see some gains.
The biggest surprise came from the league kick-off at the weekend, with Serie A kick-off this week generally starting early to make way for the second leg of the European quarter-finals next midweek, with all games scheduled for Saturday local time, which is very rare. In fact, there is only one team left, Juventus, the Italian team in the Europa League has been wiped out, but the situation of the old lady is very good, the first leg at home three goals defeated Barcelona, if it were not for the last round of Paris was played a shocking reversal, now no one believes that the old and calm Juventus will not be able to advance.
Due to timing issues, when Torino faced Crotone, who saw relegation hopes after two consecutive wins, the first few games to end before the start of this game gave the home team several shots in the face. Fen. because their rivals have dropped the chain after the previous round of the league, and none of the teams have been spared.
The first kick-off was the second Milan derby of the season, and the Nerazzurri, who had been in terrible form before, faced their biggest rivals after returning to their "home stadium". They fought with aggressive movement and tenacious fighting spirit when they were at a disadvantage in possession, and made 32 successful tackles in the game, setting a season's best record. With two sharp counter-attacks, they returned to the dressing room with a two-goal lead before half-time thanks to a goal each from Candreva and Mauro Icardi. This result made the young owner Zhang Kangyang smile, and the AC Milan boss Li Yonghong, who was present to watch the game, had a serious face.
The second half continued the rhythm of the first 45 minutes, with the visitors in possession and the home side counter-attacking, although Pioli began to be conservative again when the goal was in hand. The 4-2-3-1 formation that was originally the starting line was defended at the back, and he also allowed the two wingers to drop back frequently to help his teammates scramble, making it difficult to see their counter-attacks again. And this also gave Montella and his players the opportunity to attack with all their might, but in the face of the opponent's stubborn interception, AC Milan's offensive was also organized in a mess, and the striker Bacca, who started the game, has also been sleepwalking, so he has been unable to respond to the score.
Just when everyone thought that it would be difficult for the Rossoneri to make a difference, their defenders finally couldn't stand it anymore and went to the front of goal to replace the frontline players and help the team complete the Jedi counterattack.
First, in the 84th minute, Kuczka took a quick tactical corner on the right side, Suso shook off the space with a continuous smash feint in the face of Nagatomo's defense, Romagnoli stretched his leg six meters from the goal in front of the goal, and kicked the ball into the near corner of the home goal with the sole of his left foot, Handanovic did not react at all.
After the score became 1-2, Pioli was completely intimidated, leaving Icardi alone in the front, and the rest of the players began to retreat into the half, and the siege of AC Milan began to become more frenzied.
The electronic display board for five minutes of stoppage time was raised by the fourth official, which had already caused huge boos from the Inter fans in the stadium, but when the electronic screen in the Meazza/San Siro stadium showed that the time had reached the 97th minute, the boos almost overshadowed the referee's whistle. And at this critical moment, Deulofeu's breakthrough on the right won the final corner, and D'Ambrosio even ran to referee Daniel Osato to remind him that it was time to blow the final whistle, which was ignored by the latter.
Suso took advantage of his golden left foot to take a corner, and Baca in the middle jumped high to head it but couldn't get it on target, but it was wrong to get in and out. Zapata made a gymnast's move three yards from the back post when he threw his body sideways and volleyed his left foot into the crossbar before the ball hit the crossbar and was pushed out by Inter's Chilean defender Medel on the way. Just as the two sides were still trying to reason with the referee as to whether the ball had crossed the goal line, Daniel Osato raised his hand to signal that the goal was valid, and then blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the dramatic Milan derby ended in a 2-2 draw.
However, after the game, all the Inter players gathered around and protested against the referee, believing that the seven-minute injury time was simply unacceptable, but it could not change the final result. The broadcast camera was once again given to the top management of the two clubs, which happened to form a huge variance with the halftime break, Boss Li raised his arms and shouted, while Xiao Zhang looked at the venue with a black face and an expressionless face.
The game was a reversal of the first Milan derby of the first half, when Inter held their city rivals to a 2-2 draw thanks to Perisic's 92nd-minute winner, who were also in the ascendancy at the time and more attacking than AC Milan were today.
Regardless of whether the length of stoppage time was reasonable, the draw did help Torino a lot, allowing the two strong opponents who were right behind Li Moody to slow off the momentum, and if the Red Bulls can overcome relegation zone side Crotone, then they can stretch the lead a little more.
And just when the Torino coach became the only Celestial man who could still enjoy after this big battle, the results of the other games showed that he was being favored by Lady Luck. Fortunately, the facts are being presented to the whole world. Fiorentina, who wanted to seize the last chance, lost 1-2 at home to Empoli, who was on the verge of relegation, and while watching the latter temporarily get out of the threat of relegation, it also basically announced that the purple lilies would not be able to participate in the European competition next season.
Later, Lazio, who were only one point ahead of Torino before the start of this round, were also unexpectedly forced to 2-2 by Genoa, who have been in a very poor form recently, so that Li Mudi seemed to see the hope of returning to the top five and qualifying for the Europa League.
