The second and third weeks of November are the final national team fixtures of the year, with regional qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup taking place on all continents. On the evening of the 12th, the six teams in Group G of the European Zone began the fourth round of matchups between them, and the two traditional powerhouses Spain and Italy, who have seven points, each ushered in opponents with a big difference in strength from them. The matadors continued to lead the standings with a four-goal victory at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes in Granada. Not to be outdone, the Azzurri who visited Liechtenstein also won 4-0 with Belotti's brace and goals from Immobile and Candreva to push the battle for the top spot in the group to a fever pitch.

It should be noted that the 24-year-old right-back Zampacosta made his debut for the national team in this game, and played the whole game as a starter, officially becoming the second player in a decade to make his Italian national team debut as an active Torino player, the last of which was naturally Belotti. In the media interview after the game, the young man naturally could not hide his excitement, and said in an undulating voice: "Every player dreams of this moment, and I am very happy now. Liechtenstein was not easy to play against, but we controlled the game early. I have to keep my feet on the ground and give 110 per cent, there are a lot of talented players in the squad and I have to try to fight for my place. When I get on the pitch I give it my all and even try to score goals. I was very active in running, even though I didn't have many crosses and didn't get along well with my team-mates. Finally, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Coach Ventura for bringing me to Turin, making me so much better, and now giving me the opportunity to wear the blue jersey of my dreams, and I really hope to play for him in the future. ”

After seeing this interview, Li Mudi said that coaching the national team is really a good errand, not only with fewer games and high salaries, but also with a few players who have not played for the country can gain a lot of respect points, and how cool it is to upgrade the medal. Of course, this is just YY, except for the future Celestial Empire national football team, he should have no chance to take over the men's football coach of other countries.

On the evening of the 13th, just as the Torino coach ran to Moncalieri after the day's training to shoot the advertisement for Warwick's mobile phone, the assistant Del Pino, who had been waiting in the lounge, came to his side with the former's mobile phone, saying that Valentino Caiiro had just called and said that he had something urgent to discuss with him, and asked him to reply as soon as possible. It turned out that the Italian national team had just returned to China by plane, and at the exit of the airport, Belotti was interviewed by a reporter from Roma Sport, the rising star who scored three goals in four appearances for the Azzurri expressed his feelings about being selected for the national team: "Whenever I get the opportunity to play, my only thought is to give my best performance. I want to help the team score as many goals as possible. I'm one of the youngest players in the team and I'll do everything I can to stay with the national team. On the issue of Ventura handing over Italy's number 9 shirt, the lad looked very confident: "This shirt is very important to me, but for me, every shirt number has a story behind it. The number 9 is the number of strikers and there are a lot of good strikers in Italy, not just Balotelli and Pelle. ”

After these regular inquiries, the reporter of Roma Sport, who has always been unfriendly to the Torino team and the Celestial Empire manager, showed his fox's tail and asked Belotti, who was born in Calcinate, a small town near Bergamo in the Lombardy region, who was his favourite club, and who else could the answer be other than AC Milan, the most popular club in the region. Later, I asked who my idol was when I was young, and the red-eyed red babe replied that it was the Ukrainian nuclear. Play. Head - Shevchenko. These two answers instantly attracted the attention of all the media in Italy, and many people thought that the Torino striker was hinting at the possibility of joining the Rossoneri, maybe AC Milan would soon submit an offer to the Torino club, as for their no intention of bringing in Belotti? Just kidding, who doesn't know that Bacca has lost the magic of the start of the league, AC Milan urgently needs to strengthen the offensive line, if they can gradually establish the main position of the national team Red Bebe into the "Red and Black Bebe", I believe they will never let go of this God-given opportunity.

The reason why Valentino Cairo is eager to ask Li Mudi for help is because he does not know whether Belotti's statement is intended to put pressure on the club, after all, the contract renewal negotiations with Sergio Lanchi in the past two days have not been smooth, maybe the agent will use some crooked brains and use the desire of many other teams to buy his customers to force the Torino hierarchy to bow their heads and agree to the contract they proposed. Even if the pressure fails, the negotiations break down, and the big deal is that they really turn to the giants, maybe it will be a wider road. He knows very well that Red Babe is different from Maksimovic who chose to strike in order to join Napoli, although the Serbian defender is strong, but there are still people in the team who can barely be replaced, and once Urbano Cairo dares to block the number one striker, I believe that the team's results will definitely plummet, not to mention European qualification, and Li Mudi can keep his position last season. So no matter what kind of situation is analyzed, there seems to be a shadow of Ranch behind this incident, which makes the club appear more passive.

In this regard, Li Mudi said that he can only try his best to communicate with the player himself, hoping to directly persuade Belotti to lower his requirements appropriately, after all, it can be clearly seen from the FM system that he does not have a particularly strong desire to leave Turin now, and is still in a state of great satisfaction with the team's results. Li Mudi feels that it is not easy to persuade him to stay, after all, Italian players have few precedents of success in overseas leagues, and the switch to Milan will face the problem of re-running. In addition, with the current performance of the Red Bulls, it seems that the chances of competing in Europe next season are a little better than those of the Rossoneri. Of course, if he stays in the team, he will lose some of his annual salary, but judging from Belotti's age and ambition, it should still be a time to pay more attention to results, so the Torino coach is still certain that he will succeed.

At ten o'clock that night, Li Mudi took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number of the team's central striker, and the two exchanged for about 20 minutes in a very sincere manner. The results were also unexpectedly smooth, and Belotti was delighted to be able to continue to lead the team to one honour after another under the management of the Celestial Empire manager, and also expressed his willingness to stay.

The next morning's Torino Sport newspaper ran the front page headline that a contract renewal agreement was imminent, which largely wiped out all the previous rumours about the new nine of the Italian national team in most of Europe, and the campaign to defend Belotti that Torino fans had not had time to do came to an abrupt halt.

This is not to say that people are really so naïve, the club's mouthpiece will not believe it as soon as he speaks, after all, there are enough rumors during this time, it has just been rumored that Chelsea has sent someone to Turin for negotiations, and there is an Inter Milan that has sent a fax of inquiry, and some irresponsible, only attention-seeking tabloids broke the false news that "XX Club has reached a transfer agreement with the player, and everything is OK if the final signature is missing". In this case, the content of the newspaper report, which is clearly biased towards the side of the Torino club, will not be easily believed by too many people. However, at noon on the same day, Gianluca Di Marzio, who has hosted the "Football Market" show at Sky Sports for many years and is known as the number one transfer expert in the Italian transfer market for his excellent eloquence and accurate analysis of the market situation, posted a message on his personal website: "Andrea Belotti will renew his contract with Torino until 2021 as early as next week. ”

The words of the big man with a network of connections within many Serie A clubs are naturally extremely credible, although there are occasional oolongs in terms of transfers for various reasons, but the accuracy rate of player contract renewal is still as high as 95%. The last person to send this reassurance into the belly of the Red Bulls fans was Belotti's agent Sergio Ranchi, who admitted in an interview with the Corriere della Sera reporter that the revelations of Di Marzio were indeed true, and that most of the terms of the new contract had been basically negotiated, and only a few minor details that were not very important needed to be perfected, and the final signing should be no later than early December. At this point, the outside world's conjecture about who the red beibei flower will fall to is temporarily over, but Li Mudi feels that the next poaching may not be too long.

Around November 15 was the day when the national football teams of various countries played each other, and due to the schedule, Italy and Spain were in a group that did not have a qualifying task, so they found their old rivals to play a friendly match. At Wembley Stadium in London, the Matadors miraculously drew 2-2 with England thanks to goals from Celta striker Iago Aspas in the 88th minute and Isco in the 95th minute, keeping their last six meetings unbeaten with them. Torino's Joe Hart started the game and performed well for 45 minutes in goal, and the game further cemented his position as the country's No.1 goalkeeper, who was not expected by everyone.

In another match that took place almost at the same time, Italy welcomed the Germans at the San Siro Meazza in Milan, who had just knocked them out of the last four of the European Championships, and after 90 minutes neither side was able to change the scoreline, but the scoresheet was not satisfactory to the fans. However, the Torino striker Belotti, who had just come out of the transfer maelstrom, showed that he was in good form, and in the 80th minute, he received a pass from the purple bebe in the penalty area - Bernardeschi turned and shook off Arsenal centre-back Mustafi with a very imaginative smash when he was surrounded by two defenders on the opposite side, and then started to shoot hard. Although the ball went past the legs of Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Leno, it unfortunately hit the post in the far corner and bounced out, because Mobile was not fully prepared, and wanted to make up the shot but missed the golden opportunity to hit the empty goal.

Speaking to the media, German coach Bierhoff also praised the youngster's performance, saying: "We have been short of good centre-forwards for some time. I liked Belotti very much, he was very good on the pitch, he hit the post and we were lucky. These words boosted Red Bebe's already resounding fame, making him firmly in the position of Italy's number one striker, and his immediate value on the German website "Transfermarkt" also increased from the original 18.5 million to 21.5 million.

However, these two rare matchups failed to attract the attention of the Torino coach, because he had already completed the advertising shooting task, and sat in the conference hall of the local hotel with all the Celestial Empire staff who were still in Italy, and the projector on the wall was showing the live broadcast of the domestic CCTV sports channel through the computer transfer. The national football team sat in Kunming Tuodong Stadium to face the West Asian powerhouse Qatar team, which was a key battle in the fifth round of Group A of the round of 12. Judging from the pre-match situation, the two sides have one draw and three losses, one win and three losses, and there are still 8 points and 6 points away from the third place in the group (now Uzbekistan) that can qualify for the play-offs, so there is only one way to win in front of them. In particular, the Celestial Empire team, which is at the bottom of the group, has an extremely unfavorable schedule for the next five rounds, three of which are in West Asia away, and the home team will also encounter the powerful South Korea, and the media generally believes that if they can't get three points today, they will basically say goodbye to the World Cup in Russia, although many people may have given up hope long ago.

Judging from the historical records of the two sides, since 1978, a total of 16 meetings, the Chinese football team has the upper hand with 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, but the record against Qatar in the most important world preliminary stage is only 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, especially after 2008, it is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses, and the disadvantage is very obvious. However, the only victory was in the round of 40 in March this year, when the national football team won 2-0 at home with goals from Huang Bowen and Wu Lei, thus miraculously obtaining a ticket to the top 12, which was also the most glorious moment of Gao Gui......
