Li Mudi, who had a three-goal lead, was completely reassured, so he wasted no more time and decided to make important substitutions in order to give several key players a better rest to prepare for the league game against Lazio in a few days. In the 55th minute, Torino used all three substitutions at once, Juan Iturbe, Akwa and John Ho Sette came on to replace three goalscorers, of which the Norwegian youngster named Hou Yongyong in Chinese made his first official appearance for Torino, and at the age of 18 and a half, he also set a new record for the youngest Asian player to play in Serie A. The moment Hou Yongyong stepped on the turf after embracing Benasi, the entire Celestial Empire's sports world boiled over, which provided a heavyweight topic for the subsequent online news and various newspapers published early the next morning.

However, after the completion of these three substitutions, everyone found that the situation on the field tended to reverse, and the visitors' ability to control the ball was reduced by more than one notch. The young Fabas was quite methodical in the first half when he followed Benassi and Baseli, but when it was his turn to play the core, he instantly lost his previous composure, and there was almost no way to deal with the opponent's key tackles. The younger John Husette is a bit technically frizzy, and while the occasional movement can make a splash, most of the time he doesn't know how to get the ball moving. As a last resort, Li Mudi had no choice but to let Jesse and Boyer retreat to help his teammates in the midfield control the situation, leaving Iturbe alone in front to find an opportunity to counterattack.

The pressure on the back line was suddenly reduced by half, which allowed the Palermo players to gradually dare to press, and from the 65th minute, the home side began to lay siege to the visitors for almost half an hour, and created a number of great chances.

In the 67th minute, there was a series of major mistakes in the Torino backline, Ali Sami suddenly stepped forward to intercept after an attacking mistake by his side, grabbed the ball in front of the visiting players before they could react, used a big stride to shake off Silvestri's defence, and then passed the ball into the opposition box, when Nestorovski got the ball in front of the small corner, there was no visiting player within three meters of him. However, Joe Hart's attack interfered with his final strike, and although the ball passed under the crotch of the England goal, it still slid past the far post, leaving the home fans in an uproar. And the midfielder Diamanti, who was outflanked in the middle, pointed to the open ground in front of him with both hands, as if complaining to the Macedonian striker: I am an empty goal when the ball is passed, big brother!

Five minutes later, the home side played another exquisite combination, Djochev suddenly sent a cross just two steps past the halfway circle, and Andrea Rispoli, who assisted the first line, successfully countered offside, stumbled the ball to the spot where Nestorovsky had finished, and used a stop he didn't know he had made to shake off Bareka, but still made what looked like a crotch-pierced shot against Joe Hart, who also chose to attack. This time, however, the England international reacted more quickly, blocking the under-powerful shot with his thigh, and there was a noticeable slowdown after the ball passed underneath him, and Boyer, who was driven back to make up for the defense, cleared the bottom line.

In the 81st minute, Diamanti's corner went straight to the back post, and Poland's centre-back Thiago Cionek, who had just been on the pitch for just five minutes, pressed past John Ho Seth in front of him and slammed the ball into the Torino goal. Joe Hart struggled to get up and raised high with one hand, but the crossbar denied a brilliant header. The ball bounced back and ran to Sionek's side, but the Pole's second duel did not eat the right part, and the ball slowly flew to the middle of the small penalty area, and was cleared by the Torino player after two consecutive passes.

After missing a golden chance that could have equalised, Palermo could only accept a harrowing 4-1 defeat at home, while Lee Moody was also in trouble after the final 30 minutes or so. The coaches of both sides shook hands after the game with black faces, and people who don't know the situation really can't guess which team won.

In his post-match press conference, the Torino boss was asked to comment on whether he had made a mistake in the substitutions or had gone too far, and the situation of the team had taken a turn for the worse by bringing on a youngster like John Husette who had a serious lack of professional league experience. To this, Li Mudi replied-for-tat: "My lads just got a big win on the court, and you only focus on an eighteen-year-old kid who doesn't meet the standards of the emperor's superstar? And I don't think there's anything to be faulted in his Serie A debut, he ran 5.8 kilometres in 38 minutes and used his still thin body to fight his opponents, making two tackles and three interceptions. Maybe it's because the two of us have completely different understandings of football! ”

"But Torino did go from dominating the whole pitch to being firmly suppressed by the opponent after John came on the pitch, doesn't that tell?" Of course, the reporters will not give up, and it seems that they want to belittle Hou Yongyong's appearance as useless, but in fact they are accusing the Torino coach of making mistakes in the use of personnel.

Li Mudi, who had a temper, had long since left Gines' previous advice behind, glared at the bad reporters below and said sharply: "Then according to your meaning, we are leading by three goals, and we are still fighting away, so we can't turn offense into defense and keep the fruits of victory?" You have to keep attacking brainlessly, no matter how many the score is, that is, the whole team presses and besieges the opponent? You've got your brain in water! I couldn't even see the purpose of my substitution at that time? Acwa helped solidify the back, John was tasked on both ends of the pitch, and Juan used his speed advantage to play counter-attacks, so what is there to question about that? After that, he shook his head, which means that your IQ is really worrying.

Seeing that it didn't work, a reporter played a roundabout tactic: "Coach Li, are you satisfied with the team's performance in the last 30 minutes?" Or are they playing at the level you expect them to do? ”

'There's nothing to be satisfied with, I gave them players who don't usually get a lot of minutes and they took it and helped the team to another win, and that's enough. As for the dissatisfaction, you should ask the Torino fans, after all, they are the ones who are the most qualified to comment on the team, so as to save some people who don't understand football and don't support our team from talking nonsense. "This temper is really nobody's.

And after temporarily getting rid of the trouble about this match with a tough attitude, Li Mudi faced another small trouble early the next morning. Zhang Jian, executive vice chairman of the Celestial Empire Football Association, directly called the mobile phone of the Turin coach who had just gotten up, and went directly to the point after a simple greeting: they hoped that Li Mudi would help with the work of Hou Yongyong and his family, so that the young man could change his nationality to the Celestial Empire and play for the national football team from now on, and the conditions given by Vice Chairman Zhang were a suite, a small soft girl subsidy, and the recruitment of the next Celestial Empire national team...... Nope. was so angry that Li Mudi wanted to press the call, and then pull the other party's number into the blacklist, this Nima and Lao Tzu have a dime relationship! If you really want to naturalize, you should honestly come to the door in person and have a good talk with him and his parents. As far as Li Mudi knows, there was indeed a gossip about Hou's mother not excluding serving the country, but it was unconfirmed. But the so-called no wind and no waves, even if you can't get what you want for the time being, at least you can leave a good impression in the other party's heart, in case there is any opportunity in the future, maybe this thing will be done, and at worst, you can accumulate experience for similar behaviors in the future. Just casually dealing with others with a seemingly indifferent attitude, this must be a brain-dead thing done by a leader who does not understand human feelings!

In his heart, the Turin coach, who didn't want to have anything to do with the strange organization of the Celestial Football Association, didn't care what level of leadership the other party was, and directly rejected Vice Chairman Zhang's "request for help" by not communicating with the players about the country's general interests, or the assigned task, which made the other party on the other side of the microphone stunned for a long time and came back to his senses, and hung up the phone after laughing dryly. Since then, the official has directly adopted a cold approach to Li Mudi's publicity, so that the "Celestial Empire sports façade" that has been popular throughout the country in recent months has slowly lost its previous almost ubiquitous exposure, which made Gines, who is dedicated to developing the Far East market, wonder for a long time, until a month later, he learned that his partner was in trouble again...... But fortunately, there is a lack of publicity from the Football Association, and the majority of media and fans have been chasing the Torino coach, so that Li Mudi can continue to dominate the page and have a high popularity.

Of course, whether it is now or in the future, the heartless Li Mudi will naturally not have any change in mentality because he offended the Celestial Empire Football Association. Who cares about human beings! Love to death!

The next day, when the team returned to Turin and had a half-day holiday, Zizou, who had not seen each other for a long time, called from Madrid and asked his friend for solace. Real Madrid were also in big trouble for the first half of the month, although the start of the new season in the league was perfect, and a wave of four consecutive wins quickly established the leader's position, but who knew that the team suddenly fell into a trough, suffering four games without a win. First, on September 21, he was forced to draw 1-1 by Villarreal at his home stadium, and three days later he played 2-2 away with Las Palmas, and in the Champions League, he played 2-2 with his old rival Dortmund at the West ** Stadium, and then was forced to 1-1 by the weak team Elche at the Bernabeu on the National Day of the Celestial Empire. However, fortunately, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are not in very good shape, and Real Madrid can still hold on to the top of the league table for the time being, which is a blessing in misfortune. The two Madrid friends have been in contact with each other by phone recently, and Li Mudi has given Zizou a lot of ideas, asking him to resolutely rotate the squad and maintain the healthy physical condition of the players. Finally stopped the decline in this round of the league and defeated Real Betis 6-1 away, which was a relief for this breath.

In 2012, the Silver Fox was invited to take over the coaching whip of Yangcheng Evergrande with the world's second-highest annual salary of 10 million yuan in 2012, and before his official resignation in early 2015, he created an excellent record of 68 wins, 21 draws and 17 losses in his more than 1,000-day coaching career with the number one giant of the Heavenly Empire, and left three Chinese Super League titles for the club (2012, 2013, 2014), An AFC Champions League (2013) and an FA Cup (2012) are feathers. Lippi returned to the mountains this summer after a year's break, turning old rivals in Italian football into friends and becoming the new technical director of the national team. However, Xu Daheng and Ma Daheng didn't know what to do, and they secretly contacted the Silver Fox when the Brazilian coach Scolari led the team to win the league and the AFC Champions League double last season, hoping to welcome back the club's former signature coach. Fortunately, they all knew that it was best to hide this matter, and it was not known to outsiders, otherwise it would be out of the way without causing an uproar.

However, just after the national football team lost to Syria at home, everyone who pays attention to the football of the Celestial Empire knows that the national team coach is going to be replaced, which has aroused the interest of Xu Daheng and Lippi. Faced with the invitation of the Football Association, the Silver Foxes have already won the club honors, have no desire in this regard, and are guaranteed the same annual salary, and are very tempted to take over the second national team trip of their coaching career and what is likely to be the last job. Xu Daheng, who has always supported the national sports cause (although many people suspect that his motive is ZZ investment or advertising for his own business, but people do pay real money) naturally did not say anything, not only happily canceled the previously signed contract, but also generously shared most of Lippi's annual salary of 20 million euros in the position of national football coach. According to the grapevine, the Celestial Empire Football Association only took out 4.5 million euros at most, and it was so poor that all left was eating, drinking, and commanding indiscriminately!

Although it seems that the salary is high and the status is higher, almost everyone knows that the national football team is a big hole, and whoever comes is unlucky. But fortunately, it is now a situation where one hand is grasping on the edge of the cliff, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad, and if you let it go, you may really be able to meet a dead mouse and get a miracle!

On October 22, the Celestial Empire Football Association officially announced: Italian coach Marcello Lippi was appointed as the head coach of the Chinese men's national football team, and let's wait and see what kind of ending 20 million euros can be exchanged for. 10
