Chapter 127: One Leg

As Li Muddy has said to Valentino Cairo, Brazilian full-back Bruno Perez will play a very important role in Turin's new tactics in the new season, so the new head coach will not easily sell the player in any case, especially since the buyer is the main rival of his own team.

Here is a brief introduction to the competitive relationship club of the Torino team, the number one rival is naturally Juventus in the same city, the level is the full value of 100 given by the FM system, which is also the normal state of football clubs under normal circumstances, after all, the most direct competition for the fan audience in the same city, it is indeed the feeling of wanting the other party to die. And the most hated people of the Red Bulls are inseparable from the old woman, Barzaretti, who was originally a Turin academy player, actually joined Juventus after his contract expired, Ogbonna, who also grew up in the team since he was a child and was the captain at the time, openly quit training under the temptation of his sworn enemy, in order to blackmail the team to sell him to the other party, and the super Pippo who repeatedly humiliated them with goals in derbies - Philippe Inzaghi, these names will always be engraved on every Turin staff, In the hearts of players and fans, generations will never be born.

Second on the list of Turin's rivals is Sampdoria, nicknamed "The Old Sailor", and the Red Bulls had two peaks in the mid-80s and early 90s, which were the rare two great opportunities to challenge for glory since winning the Serie A title for the seventh time in 1976, but they failed to capitalise on it. In the 85 Serie A League, Torino unexpectedly lost to Samp in two games home and away under the condition of overcoming strong opponents from all walks of life, resulting in the final championship being won by the big dark horse Verona; In the Coppa Italia final in '88, Sampdoria reversed the opponent from behind, and finally won the championship with a score of 3-2 against Torino, causing the latter to miss out on the honor that could rewrite the team's history; The 91-year-old sailor won the league championship strongly, and although he could not challenge the great Milan team in the second season because of the decline in strength, he lost two games in a row to Juventus, and won one win and one draw in the game with Torino, which directly led to the latter being surpassed by the city's rivals in the standings; In the 95-96 season, Torino ended up in 16th place in the league and was tragically relegated to the second division, and it was Sampdoria who delivered the fatal blow, and this relegation also completely ruined the momentum of the team's revival, and it has never turned over since then, how much do you say that the people of Turin hate them.

The third and fourth places on the list of Turin's rivals are Verona, the former qualifying for the list just because they beat Torino to win the title in 85, and Bologna, the latter after a high-intensity confrontation with the Torino team that won the championship many times in the early days, so they made the list.

The remaining clubs that do not have a good relationship can be called mortal enemies, but can only be regarded as fierce competition with each other, including the Red Wolves Roma. The FM system shows that the mortal enemy level of the bull against the wolf is 60, and the number in reverse is 0! Yes, you read that right, it's 0, which is what people often call self-inflicted. It's just that the Torino club unilaterally sees the other side as a competitor, and the Roma side doesn't pay attention to the former at all, I have to say, this is the highest level of insult, because people think that you are completely unqualified as an opponent.

However, these old things have nothing to do with Li Mudi, in his plan, this season's Serie A is naturally still the situation of the old lady's family, and it is difficult for anyone to pose any strong threat to it no matter how much they jump. Napoli and Roma will be in the second group, while the third tier, the fourth to sixth places, will be able to qualify for the Europa League, with Milan, Lazio, Atalanta, Fiorentina and Torino all likely to break through. Li Mudi's requirements for the team's results in the new season are to keep six and fight for three, that is, to qualify for European competition next season is the goal that must be achieved, and what needs to be fought for will be the third place or even the runner-up in the league, so the Roma team is naturally one of his opponents. Selling his main players to the other side is not a good manager would do, so at least this summer, the Brazilian right wing-back will not have a chance to join the Red Wolves, even if he can't keep people, his new club can only be abroad, this is where the bottom line of the new manager lies.

Li Mudi is not used to contacting those football agents who are greedy, selfish, and have no bottom line (well, Gines is not this kind of person, or he will not be in such a state with Xiao Li, so it can be regarded as a deed), even if the other party's attitude is very kind, he just wants to get things done as soon as possible and then stay away. So after the other party explained the purpose of coming, he didn't give him a chance to speak easily, but told his plan all at once.

"I don't know what Mr. Ventura's plan was before, but now that Torino has chosen me as the head coach, it is only natural that the team will be built with me in mind. I can tell you right now that Bruno will be one of the core of the squad for the new season, and I've devised a number of tactics that use him as a point of discovery and an end point, and your client is about to become the biggest discovery in the Europa League this season, how about it? It's good news, I don't tell him yet! ”

In fact, since joining Torino from Brazil's Santos two years ago, the all-round Brazilian on the right side has been an absolute mainstay of the team, making more than 30 league appearances every season. The team's former coach Ventura likes to play three central defenders, with a wingback on the left and right wing-backs, but due to the lack of attacking ability of the team, the team has only scored 52 goals in 38 games, and Bruno PΓ©rez has not performed too well. So no matter how big and fragrant the new manager says at this time, it will not easily shake Bernardo Silva and his client's determination to switch to a stronger team. So the smile on the face of the agent, who is also from the football kingdom of Brazil, was even bigger, and he wanted to talk about last season, but before he could say a word, he was intercepted by the other party.

"I agreed to take over the new team before I did a little bit of research on the tactics of the old coach Ventura last few seasons, and I have to admit that he has a lot of ideas about the use of Bruno in the past two years, but the strength of other teammates is not strong enough, so it has not been able to achieve the desired results. Thankfully, I'm here this summer, and with a big upgrade to the squad, and with the support of good team-mates, I'm sure Bruno will shine in the next games. As if he hadn't noticed that the person in front of him wanted to speak, Li Mudi continued to "flicker" on his own, with an expectant expression on his face.

When Bernardo Silva heard this, he inevitably complained in his heart: "Also Nima upgrade!" The captain of the team has been sold, almost all the main forces of the entire back line are leaving, the players on the offensive line are old and young, and the strength is a grade worse than last year, plus such a seemingly unreliable manager, Torino may not be able to escape the fate of relegation, so it is better to leave as soon as possible. But before he could figure out how to use this entry point to refute it, the new commander of Turin blocked his mouth again in advance like an uncertain prophet.

"Although the official announcement will be made tomorrow at the earliest, it is not a big deal to tell you in advance now, just try to keep it secret!" Li Mudi said and looked around secretly, and after finding that no one else was nearby, he lowered his voice and continued: "I brought a few players from Real Madrid, although they are only on loan for the time being, but there is absolutely no ambiguity in terms of strength. Coupled with the fact that Valentino Cairo, the club's transfer manager, has been carrying out various operations before, I believe that the new signings will be roughly available within a week, and then you will know how strong Torino is this season. After that, he gave the other party a little look of "believing in brother".

A player on loan from Real Madrid? This news really shocked the Brazilian agent, who is the most powerful football giant at the moment! Even some rotation players who don't get much playing time are a force to be reckoned with for the Torino club and even the entire Serie A league. Maybe with their arrival, the Red Bulls might be able to pull off some tricks this season, Bernardo Silva thought to himself. However, this idea was instantly shattered by the previous promise from the Roma side, at least four times the current annual salary, at least a million euros in signing fees, and in addition to the benefits of being alone. Of course, the more important thing is that the strength of the Red Wolves is there, even if Torino is strengthened, unless top superstars like Ronaldo and Messi are brought in, how can they have a chance to challenge the top three? So switching to Rome City is the best choice, this guy finally sobered up under the confusion of the other party, his eyes locked on the other party's face, and responded in a very firm tone: "But the desire of my players to transfer to Rome is very strong, and Coach Li and the Torino club must not force a player whose heart is no longer here." ”

Finally about to see the dagger, Li Mudi is worthy of being the self-styled football actor, the previous smile on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and then glanced at the other party with contemptuous eyes and said lightly: "Rome, still transfer?" All I know is that there was an offer from that team, but it wasn't the transfer you mentioned, it was a loan, and they were going to have to put Bruno Perez on loan for a year before they thought about buying it out. I can tell you in no uncertain terms, Mr. Silva, that the team I coach will never allow key players to go out on loan. If you want to go, no problem, there is an old saying in the Celestial Empire called 'a twisted melon is not sweet', and I don't want to make everyone lose because of this kind of thing, and I won't be happy on the face. But there are only two ways to leave, give me real money that matches the value of the player, or wait until the contract expires to transfer freely, otherwise there is no need to talk nonsense, and it is good to have that time to drink tea and play chess. ”

The club is really keen to bring in Bruno Perez, but in line with the traditional idea of being thrifty and minimising risk, they still plan to try it out on loan before making plans.

I have to mention here that the current Serie A is really in decline, except for Juventus and Napoli, other teams have always bought players at low prices, or they rely on loans to survive, and rent-to-buy has become the most basic mode of recruitment. The old lady paid 10 million euros for Marseille's Gabonese midfielder Mario Lemina at the beginning of the transfer window, and then directly smashed Pjanic from Roma for 32 million euros. According to the prompts of the FM system, Li Mudi also found that Juventus is negotiating with Dinamo Zagreb to bring in Croatian international Payac, with a transfer fee of up to 23 million euros. Of course, there is Higuain, the value of this summer's standard king is a terrifying 90 million euros, although it is paid in two years, but this is enough for local tyrants. And Napoli is also a very generous big funder, first with 10 million euros to snatch the new Torino coach originally planned to introduce the central defender Lorenzo. Tonelli, after selling the small smoking gun and reaping a large amount of money, is even more aggressive, and the Polish twin stars Milik and Zielinski joined for 32 million and 14 million euros respectively (6 million in the add-on), and is the second local tycoon in Serie A. And now the new coach of Torino is waiting for them to have money in their hands before opening Maksimovich's transfer deal, to see that they will not bleed again this time!

Compared to the two clubs that are not bad for money, the rest of Serie A teams have a hard time. If it is not very optimistic about Bruno Perez, it is estimated that the Red Wolves will not grit their teeth and quote a buyout fee of 12.5 million. However, for this price, Li Mudi still has to say "hehe", to paraphrase the words of the chairmen of those "black shop" teams, that is, "this money is only enough to buy him one leg"! Although the Brazilian's talent is not too high, the potential value given by the scouting tool is 149, but the current ability value of 144 is very reasonably distributed in various abilities, speed, dribbling, crosses are excellent, and the defensive ability is also on the passing line, which is a rare all-round player. Even if this kind of person wants to sell, it is impossible to be so cheap, so it is impossible for Rome's wishful thinking to sound this time.

Seeing the surprised look on the other side, the Torino coach once again shattered his unrealistic illusions and said: "Well, you go back and discuss with Bruno, if he really doesn't want to play for the team anymore, I can speak for the club now, and I will not force him to stay." If any team can contribute 25 million euros, we will suffer some losses and let him go, which is a favor for you. It doesn't matter which team it is, even Juventus, and then it's up to me to convince the chairman, you think it's a reasonable suggestion. ”

Reasonable Nima! Bernardo Silva's heart at this time had 10,000 *** rushing by.
