On November 1, Bayern Munich defeated Kaiserslautern 4-0 in the German Cup, and Zhang Shujie scored two headers in a row under the shouts of tens of thousands of fans at the Allianz Arena to help the team sweep away the decadence of losing to Bayer Leverkusen in the league three days ago and get a hearty victory.

Juventus won 2-1 at home to Bologna in Serie A on the same day, with Li Mu scoring the winning goal in the 79th minute of the second half to help Juventus go unbeaten in 10 consecutive league games in the new season, with the Bianconeri scoring three points in nine of those 10 games.
On November 4th, Juventus hosted Inter Milan, in this strong dialogue, Juventus, who had the advantage of home field, actually lost with a score of 1:3, Li Mu worked very hard in the game, and was also very active, but there was no goal, no assist, and his dumb fire directly led to Juventus suffering the first defeat of the season.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich defeated Hamburg 3-0 away, and Zhang Shujie contributed his tenth league goal of the season for Bayern, scoring an average of one goal per game.
After entering November, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu's performance in the two games at the beginning of the month was slightly different, with the former performing better and scoring more goals. However, Li Mu didn't care too much about this, and losing this league game was not the end of the world, Juventus had five points more than second-placed Napoli, and there was not much pressure. Didn't Bayern Munich also lose a league game at the end of last month?
So Li Mu doesn't think there's any fuss about it. He now has to concentrate on preparing for the next game: the UEFA Champions League!
As early as October 25, in the third round of the Champions League competition, Juventus defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home, and with the current Juventus squad of Real Madrid, this score can definitely be called a small upset.
In that game, Li Mu scored a goal and an assist, and was the biggest contributor to the team's victory, and his outstanding performance even overshadowed the brilliance of Real Madrid's first brother Cristiano Ronaldo. Real Madrid will also focus on taking care of the Chinese striker in this game and not give him a chance to score.
But Li Mu will definitely do everything possible to break through the door of Real Madrid, just like in the last round of the game.
*******************
November 4, at the Bernabeu Stadium.
This is the home stadium of Real Madrid, Juventus is here, and it is probably not much different from going to hell, and the fans here will definitely "welcome" them very warmly, especially for Li Mu, who became the protagonist in the last round, and the audience will definitely remember him.
Conte didn't say too much nonsense, he handed over the responsibility of the team's attack to Li Mu, Li Mu naturally will not shirk, this is the trust of the manager, such an important task, not everyone can afford it.
At the beginning of the season, Conte was worried that the team's forward attack would be hindered by the departure of Zhang Shujie, but Li Mu's growth told Conte that there was no need to worry about it. From the striker, to the winger, to the shadow striker, Li Mu's goalscoring ability has gradually improved, as long as he can maintain his form, it is not a problem to win the top scorer in Serie A this season.
Juventus has the strongest lineup, Real Madrid will not be polite on their own turf, Ronaldo and his teammates vow to win the Bianconeri at home, as long as Li Mu is prevented, Juventus's attack line will be paralyzed, and a Matri is not afraid at all.
The process of the game was also as expected by Real Madrid, with the stars led by Ronaldo holding the initiative on the field, with three shots on goal in the first fifteen minutes, including Ronaldo who almost scored, but fortunately Buffon was not old, otherwise Real Madrid would have scored.
Juventus, on the other hand, had only one shot on goal in the fifteen minutes, which was scored by Li Mu in the 11th minute, and other than that, there were not many bright spots for the team.
Cristiano Ronaldo is very active, although he is deployed by Jose Mourinho as a left winger, in fact he covers almost the entire front field, of course, most of the time he still uses the left side as a breakthrough and frequently threatens the Juventus goal.
In the 22nd minute, Modric made a diagonal pass in the middle, and after Ronaldo got the ball in the penalty area, he hit the ball with his signature left foot, shook off Barzagli, and pushed the far corner of the goal with his right leg.
The referee signaled for a goal kick, but Ronaldo had an opinion, he shouted to the referee: "This is a corner, Buffon touched the ball!
The referee ignored his protests, and Ronaldo walked back dissatisfied. Li Mu, who was in the distance, saw that he seemed to be still reading something in his mouth, but he couldn't hear it clearly, probably saying, "If Buffon hadn't touched it, I would have kicked this ball in."
Halfway through the first half, Real Madrid had a clear advantage on the pitch, especially with the support of the shouts of the fans, and in the 25th minute, Higuain's shot from seven yards went over the crossbar. Although the ball did not go in, it startled Conte into a cold sweat.
Mourinho on the sidelines shook his hand in annoyance, Higuain's chance this time was much better than Ronaldo's one just now, if Ronaldo just let the ball go out of the frame in pursuit of angles, then Higuain is pure off-standard this time.
Juventus were suppressed for a full 10 minutes before finally attacking the front of the field, which was also the second time in the game that they attacked within 30 meters of Real Madrid's backfield. Li Mu was in possession of the ball, Modric stood in front of him, Li Mu glanced around, saw Pirlo was on his side, so he knocked the ball over, bypassed Modric, and ran to the front of the penalty area.
Pirlo slid the ball away and it was back at the feet of Li Mu, while Modric had been left behind by the duo's delicate one-two.
Someone came up directly in front of Li Mu, and he raised his eyes to see that this person was Pepe, who was known as the "warrior monk". This area was already within Li Mu's range, he controlled the ball while observing the position of his teammates, and after a few lateral strokes, he suddenly got up and hoisted the ball towards the penalty area.
The ball seemed to be passed and shot, but Casillas couldn't grasp it, took two steps, and then retreated. The ball plunged over the six-yard box and Casillas reached for it and lifted it down.
The ball didn't go out of bounds, the Real Madrid penalty area was a little chaotic, Matri came out of the crowd, headed the ball, and pushed the ball into the door of Real Madrid in the chaos.
goal!
Juventus took a 1-0 lead away from home and Matri scored his first Champions League goal of the season! ”
Matri also thanked Li Mu, and without this skilled Chinese team-mate, Matri would have been able to maintain an embarrassing record of zero goals in the Champions League.
Matri's 28th-minute goal left Juventus delighted, but the excitement didn't last long, as Pepe levelled for Real Madrid five minutes later from a corner.
This seems to be the strength of Real Madrid, and in a very short period of time, the two teams have returned to the same starting point.
The first half was a 1-1 draw, and in the second half, Real Madrid stepped up their attack and a draw was certainly not what they were hoping for, with Jose Mourinho replacing Luka Modric and Higuain with Callejon and Essien to further balance the squad.
Juventus have not made any substitutions for the time being, and Conte intends to take a look first. Just three minutes into the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot from outside the box allowed Buffon to save the ball, and Callejon followed up with a follow-up shot that was blocked by Leonardo Bonucci with his body.
Four minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback, this time with Angel Di Maria, whose volley from the middle of the box was too high to threaten the Juventus goal.
It wasn't until the 58th minute that Juventus set up their first attack of the second half, and it was still Li Mu, who shook off Essien and Ramos in succession, and then fired a volley from the left that landed above the net.
Real Madrid counterattacked, Ronaldo did not share the ball when his teammates were better positioned than him, and the shot he chose was very powerful, but there was no angle, and Buffon easily picked it off. At this point, Juventus began to make substitutions, with Conte replacing the underperforming Vidal with Pogba. Vidal was a little unhappy when he was substituted, but he was really out of shape in this game, and it was reasonable to be substituted.
Conte is not the only one who wants to be replaced, and Giovinco is also considering it. Originally, Conte's idea was: Li Mu changed to play as a striker, and Giovinco replaced Li Mu's original position, but in fact, Giovinco did not play his due level, and he could not replace Li Mu's role in the forward position at all.
Sure enough, in the 60th minute, Quagliarella replaced Giovinco.
Juventus is attacking, Pogba, who has just come on the field, makes a ball to Li Mu, Li Mu takes the ball from the sideline and approaches the middle, on the way Essien, Ramos, and Pepe did not even grab his ball, let him take the ball to the front of the penalty area.
Li Mu shot!
Casillas made a sideways save to keep the ball out of the goal line, and Ramos scurried to clear the ball with a big foot.
Mourinho was a little dissatisfied, and he shouted loudly on the sidelines for the players to pay attention to defending Li Mu. The players also felt a little wronged and were already staring at him very carefully, but this Chinese was too good in technique, carrying the ball like a Brazilian, and his start speed was also very fast, not so easy to defend.
Real Madrid is still attacking, Ronaldo is a little anxious, he has been playing for more than an hour, he has not scored, he has shot several times, and the threat is not without it, but he just missed the goal.
In the 68th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo fired a left-footed volley from the left side, Buffon narrowly saved, and Mesut Ozil outflanked the middle and shot into the net. 2:1! Real Madrid takes the lead again!
Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't think the score was very safe, he needed to stabilize the situation on the pitch and then expand the score, he looked at the bench and asked Kaka to warm up. Juventus' Giorgio Chiellini, meanwhile, suffered a bit of an injury in a scramble with Cristiano Ronaldo and Conte had to replace him with Lucio.
Juventus was attacking, Li Mu passed Ramos in the front, crossed the penalty area, Matri grabbed a shot two meters from the goal, hit the side netting, missed the opportunity to score a brace, and he also gave Li Mu a thumbs up apologetically.
Soon after, Li Mu passed Matri again, Matri had no space to shoot, and did it to Pogba, Pogba shot from outside the penalty area, which was blocked by Pepe's leg, and Essien kicked it to the front.
As the time decreased, Ronaldo, who had not yet scored, became more and more anxious, he began to complain, occasionally chattering at the referee, and almost received a yellow card.
In the 77th minute, Kaka came on and Arbeloa was rested.
After Kaka came on the pitch, he passed the ball to Ronaldo as much as possible, and Ronaldo also had more good chances to score, but he seemed to have forgotten to wear shooting boots today. In the 81st minute, Kaka and Ozil made a wonderful combination in the middle, Ozil gave Kaka, Ronaldo on the other side was already in place, and asked Kaka for the ball, Kaka obliquely, Ronaldo rushed to the horse, and faced Buffon alone.
Almost everyone thought that Ronaldo's goal was a sure goal, but Buffon said "no" to him! Ronaldo's volley was lifted off the crossbar by Buffon's one-handed palm.
Ronaldo fell on the lawn in frustration.
Mourinho watched Gianluigi Buffon save Cristiano Ronaldo's shot, so he walked from the sideline to the dugout with a frown and sat down silently.
There was little threat from Real Madrid's corner, and Buffon punched the ball out of the box.
The clock jumped to the eighty-fifth minute, the score was still 2:1, and Real Madrid took the lead at home.
Both sides have run out of substitutions, and now they have to rely on eleven players on the field. Conte paced on the sidelines with some nervousness, looking up from time to time to see the time on the big screen off the pitch.
In the 87th minute, Essien's pass was wrong and was cut off by Pogba, at this moment Real Madrid's defensive formation was not stable, Li Mu raised his hand and shouted: "I'm here, pass it quickly!"
Pogba passed.
Li Mu unloaded the ball and dribbled the ball at a 45-degree angle outside the box and the goal, Wanela stepped forward to block, and Pepe kept an eye on Matri in the middle. Most of Li Mu's teammates haven't had time to catch up, there is only one Matri, but there is Pepe next to him, so he decided to force a breakthrough, this position must be able to shake off Wanera, and it is still possible to score a goal at the far post.
Li Mu was in the left corner of the penalty area, and he took a rough look at Wanera's position, a little farther away, perhaps to block the route of his pass. So he bent down slightly, and took the ball outward with his right foot, Wanela didn't dare to be careless, and moved his body with him, but Li Mu suddenly swept the instep of his foot, hooked the ball back with the inside of his right foot, and broke through Wanera's defense from the opposite direction.
The ox's tail is outstanding!
With no more obstacles in front of him, Li Mu took control of the ball with his left foot slightly, and immediately rubbed the ball high with the outside instep, and the ball drew an outside arc, bypassing Casillas's hands, and rushing into the goal at the junction of the crossbar and the post.
Juventus equalized in the last minute!
Conte was so excited that he almost fell to his knees, everyone knew what this goal meant to Juventus and Real Madrid.
Li Mu equalized for Juventus! He used his signature oxtail to shake off Vanella and break through the door guarded by Casillas. Real Madrid didn't take Li Mu's defense lightly throughout the game, but he still let him score, which was a wonderful goal. ”
Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu were silent, and no one expected the mighty Real Madrid to concede a goal at this point in time. Mourinho was even more angry and kicked the mineral water bottle next to him. He looked at Li Mu and Conte, who were celebrating the goal, and then at the score on the big screen, the two same numbers, which didn't look good at this moment.
Real Madrid 2:2 Juventus, Li Mu's goal occurred in the 89th minute of the game, and there was only one minute of injury time, which made Real Madrid almost hopeless.
