Chapter 264: Headache

Because of the interference of the team's goalkeeper taking a leave of absence, Li Mudi did not completely relax on the next day's rest, but asked for Sirigu's recent game highlights from the scouting team, and combined with the FM system, he was ready to study the Italian goalkeeper who is likely to join the Torino team next season and replace Joe Hart.

In fact, in the summer, the team still has a lot of choices in the goalkeeper position, and the best choice is undoubtedly Bravo, who has lost the main position in Manchester City, although the Chilean international who has helped Barcelona win many honors is 34 years old, but the reaction is still very sensitive, and the goal-line technology is also first-class, in addition to the value of up to 8 million euros, other aspects are very suitable for the red bulls.

The second choice is Bosnia and Herzegovina international Asmir Begovic, who has been on the bench at Chelsea for two years, and he is worth 8 million euros when he is still two months old, and he also has an absolute advantage in height compared to Bravo, even if the goal-line skills are not as outstanding as the former, but he can be regarded as a second-rate or more first-rate goalkeeper in the world.

If you want to save money, Diego López, a former Real Madrid player who is currently on loan at RC Milan to Espanyol, can also make a difference, with his contract expiring on June 30 and allowing him to join any club for free. Although he is 36 and a half years old, the veteran's goalmouth attention is still excellent, the goals that should not be conceded rarely miss, and he almost never makes major mistakes, as steady as the stock market of the Celestial Empire. You can't expect him to do anything amazing, but when you're tired of Joe Hart's low-level mistakes, you'll inevitably feel an appreciation for Lopez, who is the opposite.

Of course, on the list of the best goalkeepers in Li Mudi's heart, there will always be the name of San Cassie. The former Real Madrid goalkeeper, who will celebrate his 36th birthday next month, has not been praised for his performances in Porto so far, and his mental ability is still good, but he is already struggling physically. In the previous two duels against Juventus in the Champions League quarterfinals, Cassie could still block the opponent's tricky shots, but when he needed to make a second reaction, his legs and feet were obviously slow, and he could only helplessly watch Higuain and Dybala make up for the shots.

However, it is impossible to ignore San's palmares, who has made 39 appearances for Porto in all competitions so far this season, conceding just 21 goals, including 21 clean sheets. Even in the weaker Portuguese league, this performance is still the top existence, but the team is currently suppressed by Benfica in the league, so the outside world is not treating the former best goalkeeper in the world with a fair attitude.

If his level does not drop significantly, Cassi's performance this season will be more than enough for Torino to start, but his annual salary of up to 10 million euros before tax has become the biggest obstacle to switching to the Red Bulls. When he left the Bernabeu in the summer of 2015 to sign for Porto, he signed a two-year contract with a one-year first refusal, but previous negotiations stalled. According to Gines, Porto asked Casey to take a pay cut to renew his contract, but the legendary Spanish goalkeeper was unwilling to compromise in the final years of his career, so the two sides formed a stalemate, which also made other teams coveted Casey see an opportunity.

According to the information currently displayed by the FM system, many European teams such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Marseille, Sevilla, Malaga and Real Sociedad are interested in recruiting him, especially since the latter two La Liga teams have sent staff to find Cassie's agent, hoping to reach a free transfer agreement as soon as possible. However, the former captain of the Spanish national team, who still wants to make a final push for next year's World Cup, has a negative attitude towards joining a team that cannot participate in the Champions League, and he still has strong confidence in going to the World Cup finals for the fifth time, so the strength of the future club is also an important aspect for him to consider.

The Champions League and the super high annual salary, these two points are impossible for the current Torino team, so Li Mudi can only reluctantly cross his favorite great goalkeeper from the list of reinforcements......

Looking back at Sirigu's body, originally looking at his ability value in the FM system and his previous performance in Grand Paris, he should also be a qualified candidate, and his economic conditions are not high, which is very in line with the concept of Turin's high-level small business. The Italian goalkeeper is fed up with being a substitute in Paris, so he is willing to cut his original annual salary of 3 million euros by at least half, which alone will save 750,000 compared to Joe Hart. And if the player can be persuaded to terminate the contract peacefully with the French No. 1 tycoon, even the transfer fee currently estimated at 4 million euros will be left, which makes the club's senior management simply happy, and even the chairman Urbano Cairo, who has always favored the England international, no longer insists on talking more with Manchester City, and has joined the army of "fighting for Sirigu".

However, after watching the goalkeeper's performance in the Spanish league, Li Mudi had doubts about his strength. Although Osasuna's overall performance this season has been disastrous, as of this weekend, they have only won three and drawn eight of the 32 rounds of La Liga that have been completed, firmly occupying the position of vice-leader in the standings. With a 10-point gap between Leganés and fourth-from-bottom, relegation is almost hopeless.

But even so, it's not a reason for Sirigu to make 12 appearances, concede 30 goals and keep just one clean sheet. On average, the opponent has to break the goal 2.5 times per game, which is definitely the last position in the top five European leagues, and even Pescara, who has only won 1 win and 7 draws so far, will only concede 2.28 goals per game, and the performance of the former Paris Saint-Germain main goalkeeper can only be said to be a mess. For such a player to join his team, it is strange that the Torino manager can feel better.

Li Mudi, who thought that the goalkeeper problem could be solved to a certain extent after Joe Hart left the team, couldn't help but feel a pain in his brain when he saw Sirigu, who was likely to be a disaster for the team next season, and it seemed that he had to talk to Valentino Caiiro about the next recruitment plan!

Brazilian centre-back Lianco, who has passed an in-squad medical and has been training with the youth team for a week, has finally arrived with the first team to start training with everyone in training on Tuesday, and with Ranocchia set to be sidelined for at least a week, Li Mudi wants the young man to be available in the match to replace Moretti, who was temporarily placed in the main line-up.

There will be no additional episodes in the training after that, after all, the next opponent Chievo is not strong enough to require the Torino team to do anything special, as long as they can play 100% at their own pace, I believe the result will not disappoint. However, all kinds of news still entered Li Mudi's ears in a steady stream, so that he could not experience any leisure after work.

The first was the belated press conference for the introduction of new signings, which was still in the presence of the club's president and manager in person in the stadium's media room on Wednesday evening. But in the face of reporters' questions, debuted in the Botafogo academy, and has only made a total of 21 appearances in his career so far, the Brazilian teenager dared to "fire" without concealment, which really surprised and unpleasant Li Mudi.

In response to the question of "why did you choose to join the Torino team" raised by the reporter of the "News", Lianco first said that being able to play in Serie A is the dream of every young Brazilian player, and then under the other party's questioning, he began to have a normal mind, and the words he said caused everyone to sigh. "There were a lot of teams that wanted to bring me in, with Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Wolfsburg being the most interested, and I spoke to them with my agent and visited their training grounds," he said. However, I ended up moving to Torino because I can play here very quickly, and there is obviously a lot more competition in those teams and I don't like the feeling of being put on the bench all the time and not being able to use my talents. ”

The underlying implication of this answer is that the quality of the Torino team's defenders is relatively poor, and he can play as a main player as soon as he arrives, and he is full of disdain for his new club and new teammates. After hearing these words, the face of the President of Turin suddenly darkened, and he probably began to scold this unscrupulous bastard in his heart, and even Valentino Cairo, who was the one who brought him in, was very likely to be affected by the pond fish.

After discovering that his players were in a situation, the agent around him hurriedly helped to explain a few words, saying that he meant that he actually longed for the atmosphere of the Red Bulls and hoped to get the guidance of head coach Li Mudi, but these remedies were destined not to be adopted by reporters, and the news that Turin's new signings looked down on their teammates should have spread on the Internet, adding a huge unstable factor to the team, and the coach's head began to hurt again.

Sure enough, during Thursday morning's training, the veteran players who had been friendly to Lianco before began to ignore the existence of the kid, which made the atmosphere on the field very awkward, and Li Mudi had to find the Brazilian centre-back's agent after urgent consultations with the coaching staff, informing him that the young man would return to the youth team the next day. As for whether he can come back, it depends on his performance after that, at least he has to apologize to the seniors of the first team, otherwise he would rather let this reinforcement go down the drain, and the Torino coach will not let him come to block everyone.

However, on this night, Li Mudi also reflected on his previous behavior, he still relied too much on the FM system, and the only thing he focused on when evaluating players was their ability and potential, ignoring that they were all living people, with their own living habits and temperaments, and it was not just okay to operate them in front of the computer screen to play a good game. If you can pay more attention to the non-football situation of new players when bringing in them, you may be able to avoid such negative events to the greatest extent.

On Saturday morning, just before the team was ready to take the bus to Verona, a city in the westernmost part of the Veneto region in northern Italy, about 300 kilometers from Turin, Li Moody received two "good" news in quick succession. First of all, there was Belotti's red envelope bomb, and the young man came to the manager's office after breakfast with a mysterious look and sent a very formal invitation to his wedding.

Red Beibei and his girlfriend Giorgia Duro have known each other for less than a year, and they made a private decision for life in November last year, and began to show affection everywhere, Italian media have repeatedly photographed two people going to the beach on vacation, the man's eight-pack abs and the woman's devil body have always been the ultimate murderers of paparazzi film. For a while, the hot kissing photos of the two people also appeared on the Italian color many times. The cover of the love magazine, this influence and attention is comparable to that of Totti and Inzaghi back then.

Li Mudi has already seen this woman who is about to become Belotti's wife, she is indeed quite charming, tall and long-legged, with plump breasts and fat buttocks, she is a typical Italian beauty. But for her ambition, the Torino coach did not dare to agree, originally as a racing card girl, part-time model, Duro in the Apennine Peninsula after the current hottest striker, instantly became the darling of the fashion industry, in just a few months received many domestic famous brand endorsement contracts, and also used Belotti many times to raise the price for himself, which is really unpleasant.

And according to the grapevine, Duro's private life before meeting Red Beibei was a little chaotic, not to mention reading countless men, it should also have had many emotional experiences, and his bold style is very famous in the circle. Li Mudi had to worry about the future state of his number one striker, and at this time he really understood what kind of state Lord Fu felt after learning that Xiaobei was taken down by the hot girls, and he couldn't wait to pick up the phone and ask the old-timers for advice on how to deal with it.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the other party's private number, and he can't do anything to beat the mandarin ducks, so he has to watch the red beibei, who could have become a generation of fronts, step into this "grave" that doesn't know how it will end. And Gines also reminded Li Mudi before that Giorgia Duro seems to be interested in letting her fiancé fire her current agent, Sergio Ranchi, and she will take over the related work. This kind of thinking is extremely dangerous, and if you don't get it right, it will completely ruin the future of players, such as Anelka.

After sending his blessings and agreeing to attend the other party's wedding in the woman's hometown of Palermo on June 15, he finally sent away the silly boy who was already excited and didn't know what to do, but before the Turin coach could calm down and digest this combination that could become a disaster, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and the caller turned out to be Nadal!
