Chapter 116 Old Rival
Chapter 116 Old Rival
The international match day has little to do with Li Yi and Cagliari. Ribery performed well in Serie B, but he is in Serie B after all. As for the other newcomers in the team, except for Poboski, Petr Cech and Suazo, they basically have no chance with the national team.
So this international match day turned out to be a good thing for Cagliari, because Cagliari had an extra week to prepare for the second round.
Cagliari's opponent in the second round is an old acquaintance. He is also a newly promoted this season, and when they played against each other in Serie B, Cagliari also defeated their opponents.
Lecce, this is Cagliari's opponent in the second round. In fact, after the first round, Cagliari's opponents in the next two rounds are not strong.
The opponent in the third round is Modena, which was almost relegated last season, but in the fourth round, Cagliari will face a strong team again, which is Rome in the Eternal City.
This game was also considered by Li Yi as a touchstone for Cagliari. Of course, this does not mean that Li Yi does not pay attention to the previous two opponents. On the contrary, Li Yi has been studying Lecce during this time.
Compared with Cagliari's huge changes this season, Lecce is much smaller, although promotion to Serie A must definitely buy people and send away those who are not suitable.
But the main frame is still the meaning frame of last season, especially on the front line, Chevanton and Vucinic are on board the famous Bulgarian monster star Bojinov.
In the midfield, Ledes Majacomaczi is still the main force, as is the defense, with Tonetto, Stovini, Ambruzes and Bovo all present.
In the original history, Cassetti was loaned to Lecce this season, and finally joined Roma after Lecce had an outstanding performance, but now, Cassetti is in the Cagliari team, which invisibly weakens Lecce.
The two weeks passed so quickly that the fans and players didn't realize it. The reason for the fans was the national team's game.
Although they all have their own clubs in the league, they are a whole in terms of the national team. As for the players, Cagliari is immersed in training, so he has time to care about others.
Especially the head coach of Cagliari. After Miranda Kerr left, the two of them never contacted each other again. Li Yi didn't take the initiative to call Miranda Kerr. Miranda Kerr also had his own insistence.
As for the situation of Li Yi and Miranda Kerr, the media has already speculated. It is doubtful that Miranda Kerr did not show up for such an important scene as the opening of the league. Not to mention that Miranda Kerr had come to Cagliari before, but left Cagliari the next day.
In this regard, the media tracked Miranda Kerr's itinerary, and finally got the result that Miranda Kerr will have private time for the next week or so.
But Miranda Kerr was not by her boyfriend's side. You know, they are a man and a woman in love, and they just confirmed their relationship a few months ago.
Therefore, the media has been hyping up the situation between Li Yi and Miranda Kerr during this time, and many media have even confirmed that the two have broken up.
In fact, even the uncle's family who were far away in the country couldn't help calling to inquire. It was said that Uncle Li Yi didn't want Li Yi to find a foreign girlfriend, but my aunt didn't have so many requirements, as long as it was a girl.
Women always like to read gossip, so my aunt specifically searched for Li Yi's gossip, and then learned of Corleone's existence, and my cousin Liu Yao came back to talk about it.
Well, in the words of my cousin, this handsome blond guy gave his brother a sports car worth millions, and he often ran to his brother's house to eat and live.
As for her cousin Liu Yao, she has always wanted to meet Miranda Kerr, but unfortunately, this wish was not fulfilled in Italy, and judging from the current situation, she may not have this opportunity in the future.
After all, from the current state of the two, if one party does not compromise, the final result is a breakup. The so-called love actually depends on who is willing to sacrifice for whom in the end.
This is the only thing that worries Li Yi now, but Li Yi also has a way to get rid of this worry, that is to devote himself to football.
When a person concentrates on doing one thing, all troubles will disappear. Of course, this can also be called escape.
However, Li Yi would definitely not admit that what he was doing was evasion. He felt that it was persistence, although this persistence itself had no meaning.
Time passed day by day like this, and soon, several countries in the team returned from their respective national teams, and they all came back safe and healthy.
The national team's competition is still too exhausting for the players, especially for the veterans, so in the next round of the competition, Li Yi does not plan to arrange for Poboski to start.
However, several other veterans will definitely start. The last round was not played to let the young players know their problems. Now that the problem is solved, it is natural for the veterans to come out and show off their power.
"Lecce is a strong opponent, and Rossi is an excellent coach," Li Yi said after bringing the Cagliari players to Lecce.
"Uh Why do these words sound so familiar?" In fact, when facing AC Milan, Li Yi said almost the same thing.
"Damn it, this guy can't help being so perfunctory to us from now on." Seeing Li Yi take the Cagliari players on the bus and leave, the faces of the media present became even more ugly.
And based on what this group of media knew about Li Yi, he could really do such a thing.
In fact, after hearing Li Yi's words, the head coach of Lecce, Rossi, said almost the same thing. After all, he didn't want to hit anyone with a smile on his face. Not to mention that Rossi was not sure of winning. The experience of losing in Serie B was still vivid in his mind. Rossi didn't want to be remembered by the media.
Harmony, because of Li Yi's pace before the game, the pre-match interviews for this game became unusually harmonious, and the head coaches of both sides even showed sympathy for each other, constantly complimenting their opponents.
Of course, this is only on the surface, only when facing the media, privately, when they go back to face their own players, it must be a different scene.
In the first round, Cagliari met AC Milan, and Lecce's opponent was not weak, Lazio, another team in the Eternal City.
Although Lazio is in a talent crisis and is in a difficult situation, there are three nails on the broken ship. Lazio's strength is still not what Lecce, a newly promoted team, can shake, let alone Lecce led by Rossi.
Therefore, this game is very important for the two newly promoted horses, because this is their chance to usher in their first win of the season, and they are both newly promoted, so it is inevitable to be compared with each other.
Just ask, who doesn't want to usher in the first victory in Serie A by stepping on the opponent's corpse.
