In addition to Parma and Novara, Vercelli, another satellite team of the Red Bulls, also achieved a good result after loaning Hou Yongyong and young Spanish full-back David Carmona, coupled with the joint efforts of the whole team. Although there is still a long way to go before the promotion play-offs, 13th place in Serie B is their best ranking in the last seven years.

And according to the plan of Vercelli chairman Massimo Secondo and the team's manager Grasadonha, they will also increase their investment in reinforcements next season, and hope to get more help from the Torino team in order to achieve their ambitious plan to return to Serie A in three years.

In this regard, both Torino President Urbano Cairo and Li Mudi have expressed their full support, if the two satellite teams plus Parma, which has just formed a partnership, can gain a foothold in Serie A, it will definitely be a great thing for the Red Bulls. The reason why Juventus has been able to dominate Serie A many times in the last three decades has to say that it has a huge and detailed network of relationships, from the notorious Holy League to the many small teams in the north that are like the old woman's backyard, all of which make Juventus challengers face a much bigger dilemma than on paper.

With these staunch allies, the Red Bulls are in a much better position, and with Napoli, the leader of the southern team, and Inter and Roma, who have been struggling to resist Juventus' hegemony, at least these teams will not face too many restrictions on recruitment. Otherwise, as in previous years, some of the most talented seedlings in China will be monopolized by the old lady and her "affiliated teams", and the other teams will not have much development.

Because the results of this season's Serie B league can be called extremely favorable for the Torino team, Li Mudi was still in a relaxed mood when he took the plane to leave Italy on the afternoon of the 25th, and after a whole year of hard work and quite good results, he can finally find time to relax a little.

It's just that when he rushed to the home of his good friend Zizou in the evening and was about to enjoy an authentic French meal, he ushered in the Real Madrid coach's tangled and even somewhat painful expression, and the original good mood immediately flew away.

Facing the couple's mutual friend, Veronica did not pretend to be squirming, and after greeting Li Mudi affectionately, she took the children to the restaurant for dinner, leaving the living room to two men who were obsessed with football. In order not to disturb each other, Qi Zu's dinner was done on the coffee table and sofa.

Although a chef was specially invited today, and it is said that the beef stew and snails in red wine are famous in the whole Western food world, the Real Madrid home team is obviously not interested in tasting them, and his appearance of chewing wax has seriously affected the appetite of the guests. So after a hurried dinner, an unexpected and inevitable battle of ideas soon played out in Qizu's home, but fortunately, the two of them tried their best to keep their sanity when they were most emotional, and did not let the skirmish continue to worsen.

Although the Copa del Rey was upset by the weak Leganes in the quarter-finals, and the league failed to complete the counterattack under the unfavorable start, was suppressed by the city's rivals and finally only won the dismal third place, but only by virtue of reaching the Champions League final for the third consecutive year and having a great chance of completing the three consecutive championships, Zidane's performance in the 2017-18 season can be regarded as good. If he can beat Liverpool at the weekend, then the Frenchman, who has only been in charge of the first team for only two and a half years, will immediately confirm his position as the world's number one football manager.

It's just that no one thought that when the Spanish media was rumoring that Real Madrid would renew Zizou with a super high annual salary of 12 million after the original contract was only a year later, the chairman and head coach of the world's top giants had a deep rift because of the huge differences in the adjustment of the lineup.

Immediately after the meal was taken down, the Real Madrid coach began to complain to his friend, and in a rather strong tone.

An attentive person may notice that Zizou, who is more conservative as an Oriental in terms of personality, has not offered to bring in or purge a player since taking over the team. Li Mudi is not clear about whether his overall understanding of metaphysics is accurate, because there may not be a unified standard for that thing, but he agrees very much with the Oriental concept of balance and stability, and it can even be said to be outrageous, which makes Li Mudi feel especially incomprehensible.

Although the Torino coach does not agree with Lafayette's move to bring in at least one superstar a year and operate entirely with the mentality of a football manager gamer, he has always believed that if a team is unable to achieve a good metabolism, it will face a situation that will only lead to a dead end.

From the perspective of age structure, although the current Real Madrid team has shown a significant decline in the overall average age after continuously recovering or introducing young people such as Asensio, Mbappe, Vallejo, Te'o and Ceballos, but Zizou has not been able to play the new generation card in his hand, and the main position is still occupied by BBC, Magic Flute, Kroos and other superstars who have already become famous.

Although the individual abilities of these stars are still among the top in the world, and any one of them can play the main role in any giant, their age is no longer young. Benzema was born in 1987 and is about to celebrate his 31st birthday; Ramos was born in 1986 and turned 32 in March; Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric were both born in 1985 and are 33 years old, and their abilities have begun to deteriorate greatly when they are ordinary players, and they should even start thinking about when to stay away from the mainstream league; Even Marcelo, the "team pet" who seems to be still alive forever, has just entered the three-character level of his age, and with the addition of two goalkeepers born in 1986, the aging of the Galaxy Battleship lineup is far more serious than the outside world imagined.

Of course, judging from the professional attitude of these superstars, they are really worthy of the evaluation of professional player models, especially the president, who has almost slowed down the decline of physical fitness to the extreme, and that tendon meat looks no worse than the boys. It's just that the influence of the years is always so silent, but unstoppable, except for Ronaldo, who still maintains excellent speed and strength, the rest of the people over the age of 30 have experienced a decline in physical fitness, especially endurance, and it is difficult to maintain 90 minutes of concentration in the extremely fierce game.

Two years ago, Real Madrid played Atletico Madrid on penalties in the Champions League final, and just as extra-time drew to a close, they still had the courage to fight for their opponents' goals. However, this season, the veterans have significantly reduced their running distance, and at the end of the race, when their fitness is running out, they can no longer push the limits and put on a last-minute stunt as they did last season.

Ahead of the Champions League final at the weekend, Real Madrid had managed just seven goals in all 61 competitive games they had played this season after 85 minutes and in injury time, a stark contrast to last year's 13. The biggest reason for this contrast is that the superstars that Zizou has always relied on can no longer maintain the physical strength that they can maintain throughout the game as before. And the second important reason is that after they have won many honors that ordinary people may not be able to achieve in a year and a half, there is not much enterprising spirit in their hearts.

If a player loses his hunger for victory and glory, then he is no longer fit to play in the top team, and if it were not for the Champions League three in a row to "seduce" them to do their best in European competition, Real Madrid's results this season may have been even worse. A very clear example of this is that they have not been able to show enough professionalism to their games and opponents in the league before and after the Champions League games, which has led to the team being the target of upsets in many games where they should not have dropped points.

Therefore, in Li Mudi's view, the players in the team must be evaluated every season, and once it is found that someone has slacked off or has been self-satisfied, they must be eliminated from the plan immediately, and replaced with newcomers, even if the strength has not yet reached the original player's new signings, otherwise the end of the season will only be a bitter fruit of failure. At this point, the Torino boss is more in favor of the plan for the renewal of Galeries Lafayette.

It's just that Lafayette may be too anxious this time and play too much, even people like Li Mudi who still have the mentality of a football manager gamer can't bear it. According to Zizou's explanation, the president of Real Madrid actually wanted to purge the BBC, the Magic Flute and goalkeeper Navas all five big players at once in this summer, which made the Torino coach sweat coldly, and once wondered if this was a decision made by Lafayette after knocking the medicine.

However, after hearing the names of those replacements, Li Mudi had to be impressed by the courage of the football bigwig, if Lewandowski, Hazard, Salah and De Gea can really land at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid is likely to continue the golden period of the team after Zizou took office for two to three years, and truly dominate the entire world football in their own hands.

The Torino coach always knew that his parent team was rich, and it was not ordinary rich, but when he heard this plan that was not enough to describe it with two words crazy, he still couldn't help but sigh: This is really TMD too tyrant!

When he finally recovered from the shock and frequently expressed his admiration for Mr. President, Zidane, who was sitting beside him, finally couldn't hold back the extreme dissatisfaction in his heart and refuted his friend's "betrayal". The Real Madrid coach believes that this plan will completely destroy the river crab atmosphere that the team has built up so hard, and the act of selling the team's core players and even the star of the house will also seriously hurt the image of the club, which is completely self-destructing the Great Wall and digging its own grave.

And Li Mudi took the opportunity to spend a lot of saliva and persuaded good friends not to continue to be stubborn, after he was overly partial to compatriot Benzema, causing the team's youth Morata to reluctantly leave the team has been questioned by many Meilinger, and the "back man" is also not to give his mentor a long face, repeatedly missed the opportunity to score, if it were not for the third consecutive year to lead the team to the Champions League final, even if there is Lafayette's protection, the outside world will not be so quiet, The voices calling for him to leave class will surely flood the world.

In the eyes of the Torino manager, Zizou has done his best in the use of Benzema, and he has a tendency to go too far, and if he is unable to handle the management of the team impartially because of personal relationships, then he is a bit too much of a failure as a manager.

I don't know that these words were originally said in some unintentional mistakes, but they instantly aroused Zidane's anger, and he raised his voice to refute without waiting for his friend to finish speaking: "If outsiders say this, I can still think that they are people who don't understand the situation, but you think so too?" Think I'm a cronyistic manager? ”

Don't look at Zidane's honest and loyal appearance now, Real Madrid players always praise him for his comparably calm in front of the outside world, and no matter what the team's record is, he has never seen him get angry. In fact, this is all a fake character deliberately made by this guy after retiring, and his own personality is explosive. As early as the early 20s when he was still playing for the French team Bordeaux, Zizou, who had just begun to make a name for himself on the European continent, had a black history of boxing his opponent in the eye and being sent off with a red card because his opponent insulted him, not to mention the 1998 World Cup in France where the Saudi players were suspended for two games and the shocking curtain call performance of the 2006 World Cup final.

In his 18-year career, he has received a total of 13 red cards, which is obviously too many or even extremely rare for a midfielder, and you can see how violent he is by nature. Of course, that's not to say that the legendary midfielder's temper is bad, he only briefly gets hot and loses his mind when he is under pressure to his limits, and he himself is very easy-going and friendly in his daily life.

This time he was angry, obviously because his friend who thought he knew best also misunderstood his approach like an outsider, which made him feel extremely aggrieved and even insulted.

Time: 21:00 p.m. on May 24, 2018, Location: Zidane's apartment living room in Madrid, a pair of good friends ushered in their first "emotional" crisis since they met. o(n_n)o
