Chapter 109: Prejudice
To Conte's relief, the next round of the Coppa Italia is not until mid-January. And the opponent of the game also came out, it was AC Milan of the Rossoneri.
With the Champions League and Coppa Italia both a month or two away, Conte is now putting all his mind on the league. After all, he had already told the players, the club's hierarchy and the media that Juventus would defend the league title this season, and if the league results were poor, it would not be a naked slap in the face.
Now in the league situation, Inter Milan has a tendency to drop the chain, and they have not won the last two rounds. However, AC Milan and Napoli still held on tightly, and Juventus did not take a decisive lead in the league due to the tension in Europe.
On the afternoon of December 15, Serie A entered the seventeenth round. Juventus' opponent in this round is Atalanta, an opponent who is a bit inexplicable. They have beaten Lazio, Inter Milan and drawn with AC Milan this season. But they have also lost to teams like Palermo, Siena and Pescara who are at the bottom of the table or even in the relegation zone
It seems that Li Zihan still makes sense to call them "toothache and difficult to fight". In the face of strong teams, they showed headache combat effectiveness, but in the face of weak teams, they did not fight and gave others three points to relegation
Atalanta did not show their "strong team killer" form in this game, facing the old lady who played in the main force at the Juventus Arena. They were beaten so defenselessly that Inter fans scolded them as Juventus dogs – Atalanta beat each other 1-3 at Inter Milan's home stadium, Estadio Meazza, with the home team in front and the visitors in the back, according to international practice
Pogba started the game with a gravity shot to get Juventus off to a dream start. Then Li Zihan received the ball in the middle and rushed forward, stirring up chaos in the opponent's backline, and then sent a passable through ball. Vucinic received the ball and hit the goal, 2-0. Juventus beat Atalanta in the first half, they didn't organise a decent attack at all, they were completely passive defensively.
In the next ten minutes, Juventus' attack became more and more ferocious, and Atalanta received the manager's signal to simply stick to the backfield. This made Juventus very uncomfortable, Atalanta with only one striker in the front court, and the remaining ten were all in the backfield, and even five people were squeezed into the penalty area, and there were six goalkeepers
However, the effect was also evident, and although Juventus were still attacking, they did not score until the end of the first half.
The relieved Atalanta players entered the locker room and were scolded by the head coach, who said he would carry out the defensive counter-attack to the end in the second half.
After Li Zihan was replaced in the second half, Matri, who came on as a substitute, did nothing and had no bright spots. This made the commentators shout, although Matri is the big brother of Serie A, but it is indeed a little worse than the newcomer Lee. The only thing Lee lacks is that he doesn't have as much experience.
After watching midfield partner Pogba score, Vidal, who was unwilling to be lonely, scored with an unexpected cold shot on the line of the big penalty area.
Zuihou made it 3-0 and the Atalanta player walked into the dressing room in frustration.
Although Li Zihan did not score directly in this game, he also had an assist. The performance on the field was also very good.
Many media stopped singing about Li Zihan when they reported it the next day, maybe this guy was red. The naked ones hurt their faces. They all said that Li Zihan has begun to mature, don't look at the lack of goals in this game. But he still has good performances, which is a sign of maturity and consistency.
Of course, there was only one person out of the ranks. That is Sanchez, who likes black plum Zihan very much, and he insists on his firm position. As long as Li Zihan does not score, he will say that Li Zihan is the "end of the strong crossbow" and will reveal the "prototype". If Li Zihan scores a goal, he will use data to show that Li Zihan's personal ability is gradually declining
It's mid-December, and it's about to enter the winter transfer period, and now the media reporters are all reporting all kinds of so-called "first-hand information" like chicken blood.
This shijie seems to be, and all of a sudden it began to be lively.
Today, some media said that the coach of the giant Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho, is at odds with goalkeeper Casillas and wants to sell the in-form San Cassie in the winter transfer period. Then tomorrow there are media reports that the whole team of Real Madrid is supporting his teammate Casillas to kick the unpopular Portuguese Mourinho out of the Bernabeu.
Then the media broke out, Fernando? Torres had a bad time at Chelsea. Former club Atletico Madrid wants to bring the former golden boy and captain back to the Stadio Calderón, and the fans of the "Bed Sheet Army" have begun to celebrate the return of the former "Prince Calderón".
Then the Spanish media said that Torres still has a contract with Chelsea, and with Atletico Madrid's current financial state, he can only sell players to return funds to buy Torres back. And Atletico Madrid's current center forward, who is also one of the best center forwards in La Liga, "Tiger" Falcao, has become a sweet and sweet. According to the newspaper As, Mourinho wants to poach the talented Colombian into the camp of his rivals in the city.
And "Shijie Sports News" revealed that Barcelona is currently spending a huge amount of money to buy Napoli's leading striker Cavani. In response to the intent of rivals Real Madrid to buy Falcao, an offer has now been made in the offices of the Napoli club.
Of course, Juventus will inevitably be "teased" by the media. The Manchester Evening News reported an interview with Alex Ferguson. Sir Alex Ferguson's words were full of praise for Pogba: "Yes, Paul is a young player with a lot of potential. I'm sad about his departure as the Reds have lost a future midfield core and captaincy. Last year I tried to keep him at Old Trafford, but he insisted on it. ”
When asked by the media whether to bring Pogba back, the gentleman smiled: "We will not give up, we are determined to win a talented player like Paul." Yes, I know he still has a contract with Juventus, so what? We will give a generous offer. ”
When everyone thought that the lord was bragging about not paying taxes again, Juventus general manager Giuseppe? Marotta looked at an email in front of her, embarrassed.
The email came from Manchester, England, and the lord didn't just say it this time, he really made an offer to buy Pogba, and the offer was 15 million pounds that Marotta had a little hard to refuse
After a bit of reflection, Marotta decided to ask manager Antonio Conte's opinion. Although Conte does not have direct transfer power, his opinion is quite important. After all, the club's top management is still very supportive of this manager with Juventus "blood".
"Fifteen million pounds? Paul? Pogba? Conte heard the meaning of Marotta on the other end of the phone and sneered: "Don't say fifteen million, even if it's 30 million, I will resolutely not sell it!" You replied directly to Manchester United, Pogba is not for sale for us, it is really not for sale and not for sale for the sake of price increases. He is the heart and asset of our future midfield!! ”
Marotta hesitated: "But Antonio, that's fifteen million pounds, I received a personal dispatch from Mr. President, and I am looking for two strikers for the team. It's already settled, but you know we don't have a lot of money, to be precise, our club has always been a club that thinks about breaking even. If you want to buy someone, you must first sell someone to get back the funds. ”
"Striker? Yes, it was needed before, and now it's not so urgent. Do we have Mirko? Vucinich he could have propped up the umbrella for us and wait for Lee and Sebastian? It's good for Giovinco to grow up. And now Fabio? Quagliarella and Matri and Giaccherini are good substitutes and rotate, and we have Anelka, who hasn't played much. Conte said confidently to Marotta.
He forgot that he was also anxious about the striker problem at the beginning of the season
"But now we have no shortage of players in midfield, we have Vidal, Marchisio, Isla and Giaccherini in a cameo"
Conte knows who Marotta is, he is a good businessman, but he is still not good at football. Knowing that Marotta was tempted by the fifteen million, Conte used a sentence to dispel the other party's "wishful thinking" deal in his own opinion.
"Do you think about Giuseppe, he Alex? Who was Sir Alex Ferguson? The player he is so optimistic about and hopes for is only worth a measly one or two million? If Pirlo was in your hands more than ten years ago, would you have sold it for 10 million or 20 million? ”
Sure enough, after hearing Conte's words, Marotta's eyes lit up: "I think I understand, Antonio." ”
Conte breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Marotta, a cunning businessman, would sell his players in order to break even and pay off his debts.
Pogba's incident sounded a wake-up call for Conte, and he hurriedly added: "By the way, the contract you signed for Lee last time had a clause in it to break the contract?" Let's re-sign a contract with Lee during this winter transfer, and the salary will be high. The liquidated damages were cancelled, and the number of years was long. Giuseppe, Lee, like Paul, are our future wealth and pillars!! ”
Marotta said that there was no problem, and hung up the phone perfunctorily.
Wage increases? Oh my God, I'm going to buy people in during the winter break or next summer, where is the salary budget to give that yellow monkey a salary increase, I'm still thinking about selling players
Obviously, as a traditional Italian, Juventus manager Marotta is also a little prejudiced against Li Zihan. Even now, Li Zihan has temporarily ranked second in the Serie A scorer list, and the first is Cavani.
