When Immobile's ball hit the net of the Inter goal, the entire Olympic stadium burst into loud cheers. Today was full again, with more than 26,000 supporters of the home team, in addition to almost 1,000 away fans, and the decibel number created by these people shouting loudly at the same time is naturally not a small number.

When the Torino players hugged each other to celebrate the goal, the broadcaster also deliberately switched the camera to the stands to record some wonderful moments of fans celebrating in various ways. Among them, there is a young fan who is about six or seven years old, dressed in Torino team equipment, and made a sniper rifle firing action in the direction of the away team's goal, which is very cute.

This slightly unexpected goal conceded also hit the fighting spirit of the Inter players, who were obviously closer to the score, and also had the absolute upper hand in possession and shooting statistics, if it weren't for Cassie's brave play, they might have taken the lead long ago. But the opponent suddenly scored a goal that was obviously lucky, as if a large block of ice was thrown into a pot of boiling water, and the temperature was directly reduced to a half-lukewarm level, and the depression in their hearts can be imagined.

So in the more than ten minutes before the break, Inter Milan were unable to organize a decent attack, except for Cancelo who sent a cross from the right, and Icardi, who was outflanked at the back post, barely got up and kicked under the interference of Diego Llorente, and even the number of times the ball entered the home team's penalty area was pitiful. On the contrary, the Torino team took advantage of the situation to instigate two positional battles, but they could not gain much, and the two sides returned to their respective dressing rooms with a score of 1-0, temporarily handing over the stage to the extremely excited audience.

Li Mudi was basically satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, and after successfully limiting the play of Valero, the core of the opponent's organization, he basically disintegrated Inter's team attack. Although his own goal encountered one or two dangers, it was all due to the use of individual abilities by the opponent's three strikers, and it was still within the allowable range.

It's really not him whitewashing the team's backline, Ranocchia and Canneman and others are far from world-class defenders, whether it is the data in the FM system or the evaluation given by the outside world in reality. The Red Bulls have been able to concede the fourth-fewest goals in the league this season mainly because of the team's defensive strategy, with the change of the two wing-backs in a 3-5-2 formation increasing the number of players at the back to five players at any time, plus the two central midfielders can also drop back to protect the front of the penalty area, which is a big advantage over the attacking side in terms of numbers alone.

And Serie A currently lacks excellent attacking players, except for a few strong teams, most teams are not strong enough to cause too much trouble for the Torino defense led by Ranocchia, so they can only get a good result of only 0.9 goals conceded per game. However, the Nerazzurri facing today are clearly one of those teams with strong attacking power.

In the first 30 league games, Inter Milan scored a total of 50 goals, ranking fifth in the entire league, but the gap between the top four is very obvious, and it is really not a team with strong attacking power. And only nine of their players have scored in the season, which is a bit low. However, the lack of dispersion of the attacking points also shows that the team's attacking strength is particularly prominent, and captain Icardi is the forward knife they rely on the most.

Not counting other competitions, in a single round of Serie A, out of all 50 goals, he alone scored 24 goals, and also had an assist, which means that half of the goals are directly related to the Argentine striker, which ranks first among all teams in the five major leagues. It is an exaggeration to say that this Inter Milan team is Icardi's one-man team, but I believe that there will be more people who agree with this view than those who oppose it.

Although he could not be selected for the Argentine national team due to personal grudges with some people, the world's top scorer strength of the Inter captain has been widely recognized, and the news that Spain has successively revealed that Real Madrid intends to bring him in to replace Benzema is a strong evidence. With such a super striker who combines speed, movement and shooting skills to always threaten his own goal, Torino's defenders can play to such a high level, which is already a good standard.

Moreover, the attacking ability of the two wingers, Perisic and Candreva, should not be underestimated, the former is fast, can use both feet flexibly, and has excellent coordination awareness; The latter is a tough style of play, the courage to engage in physical confrontation, all technical links are more comprehensive, and there is a long-range shot, and it is possible to create a killing opportunity if you are not careful.

Therefore, at half-time, the Torino coach did not make major adjustments to the defensive system that had shown signs of success in the first half, but only asked everyone to pay more attention to some details. However, the team's attack is not very satisfactory to Li Mudi, he thinks that Belotti's retreat is too routine, and it is very targeted by the Inter defenders who have been prepared, and the two strikers are required to be able to make frequent cross-play exchanges, and when the opportunity is right, Immobile can also become the contact point in the midfield, so that Red Bebe can play his strong impact characteristics at the forefront.

After the re-fighting, there was no replacement of personnel on either side. Spalletti should have emphasised his commitment in attack, so it was clear that at the start of the second half, the two centre-midfielders crossed the line more often and the depth of the pitch increased.

In the 49th minute, D'Ambrosio knocked the left side of the midfield to the middle, Brozovic won the ball and dribbled all the way forward, after seeing that his teammates' running positions could not tear up a good passing route, he chose to volley vigorously at the edge of the penalty area, but the kick was too right, and the ball was easily caught by Cassie.

A minute later, the home side's attack was also rewarded, Belotti was brought down by Gagliardini on the ball, and Benasi's long free-kick set up Silvestri to head in near the penalty spot, but it was interfered with by the opposition player and went over the crossbar.

Three minutes later, the Red Bulls almost replicated the previous attacking routine, the same free-kick won by Belotti, the same long diagonal pass from Benathy, and the same Silvestri who grabbed the first spot among more than a dozen players from both teams, except that the Torino right wing-back used the outside of his left foot volley with his back to the goal. The difficulty of the shot was definitely five stars, but he did it brilliantly, not only suddenly, but also within the range of the goal. But Handanovic is also a world-class goalkeeper, and he also replicated the brilliant save that Kassi saved from Icardi's goalmouth hook in the first half, and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand in an extremely responsive flying motion to avoid the tragedy of further widening the point gap.

This time, with their heads in their hands and incredible expressions, they were replaced by the Torino players and supporters, and even the commentators from various countries were ridiculing that it was really a natural reincarnation, one report after another, and the two sides almost encountered a mirror situation of brushing shoulders with a goal, which made people sigh that in the world of football, anything can happen.

And just when most of the audience was reminiscing about that magical encounter, Argentine midfielder Muthis, who had been focusing on the defensive end, suddenly showed his offensive ability that can not only be a midfielder. After intercepting Valero's through ball to Candreva from about 15 yards behind the halfway line, Musis took a big step and drove the ball all the way to the visitors' half, shaking off two complementary defenders in succession, Brozovic and D'Ambrosio, and came to the top of the penalty area.

Skriniar, who played as a right centre-back, had to block Musis in order to prevent him from rushing directly into the box or shooting from distance, allowing the latter to seize the gap behind him and send a beautiful diagonal pass to Immobile's forward route. The Torino striker couldn't get the ball in time and had to take a step forward and fired a left-footed volley into the far end of the net from the left corner of the six-yard box. Handanovic's timely block, and although he couldn't save the ball, it interfered with Immobile's angle selection when he attacked, and the ball almost grazed the far post and flew off the line. Belotti, who flanked him in the middle, also made a tackle, but unfortunately couldn't touch anything, otherwise a small change of line would have slammed the ball into Inter's net.

It was a shame that Torino missed two goalscoring chances in just two minutes.

After this wave of outbursts in attack, the fitness of the home team's players entered a bottleneck period in advance, and the disadvantage of having one less day of rest in the middle of the week was finally revealed. Both the wing-backs and Belotti, who had been running frequently between the two lines of central midfield, showed signs of fatigue and the FM system detected that their stamina was dropping a little faster than normal, which is dangerous with half an hour remaining. Therefore, Li Mudi immediately replaced Red Bebe and Bareka with Falke and Boyer, and changed the formation to 4-3-3, which is also the team's usual routine.

Silvestri retreats to the defensive line, so he can no longer think about assists, and focusing all his energy on the defensive end can help him save a lot of energy; In addition to the three midfielders, after Musis was firmly nailed to the midfield position, Benassi and Baseli were responsible for helping their teammates to help defence, and they could also see the opportunity to instigate a quick counterattack. Because Mobile doesn't need to defend back, save strength to impact the opponent's defense; The task of the two new players is a little more complicated, not only to be able to assist, but also to be able to return to their own half to participate in the defense, but fortunately their stamina is full enough to cope with the rest of the time.

Almost at the same time as the home team was changing personnel, Spalletti finally couldn't sit still, he replaced Valero, who played extremely badly today, with Raphinha, who was on loan from Barcelona, and then sent French teenager Jancaramo to replace Candreva who couldn't run, and commanded the Inter players to start pressing the attack, vowing to tie the score or even complete the overtake.

After adjusting their line-up, the visitors began to frequently seek breakthroughs from both flanks and cut in, and after winning a free-kick, they launched a crazy high-altitude bombing tactic.

In the 65th minute, Caramo's dribbling was touched by Canneman, Inter Milan took a tactical corner, Cancelo sent a precise 45-degree angle cross to the middle of the penalty area on the right side, and the tall Slovak central defender Skriniar pressed Ranocchia, and half a step before the penalty spot bent over the header and rushed to the goal, which was pushed out of the bottom line by Cassie's brave side save.

The visitors' second corner in a row was still a threat, as Cancelo whipped in a corner from the left and Miranda leaped high from the back post to head the ball in front of goal under the interference of Diego Llorente, catching Casey off guard as he raced to block the near corner. Even if this header can't fly directly into the far goal, there is also Gagliardini, who has long been outflanked in place, preparing to make a supplementary shot, facing a completely undefended empty goal, and only about a meter away, it is extremely difficult for the Inter midfielder to deliberately fail to score.

Luckily for Torino and Ranocchia, the former Nerazzurri captain used an upside-down volley to clear the ball in front of the goal-line ahead of Gagliardini and disrupt what his former club were sure to do.

However, Inter Milan's momentum has reached its peak after this ** attack, and they almost completely suppressed the remaining counter-attacking intentions of the Torino team, turning the game into their half-time battle. Li Mudi replaced Benassi with Vukocevic in the 77th minute, Boyer and Farke almost became full-time full-backs, and Immobile was the only one left in the front to contain the visiting defence, and the tactic of swinging the bus was sacrificed at the last moment.

Fortunately, the home team's luck was still good today, in the 83rd minute, Cancelo took a corner kick from the right side to the penalty area, Ranocchia and Skriniar played against each other, no one could fight for the landing point, and the ball came to the feet of Raphinha, who was located 45 degrees to the left of the penalty area. The Brazilian midfielder takes advantage of the chest. After stopping the ball, he directly volleyed a powerful left-footed shot into the far corner of the goal, which was really powerful, and it was also drilled through the gap between the players against the turf, even though Cassie reacted very quickly, but he couldn't touch the ball in the slightest.

But the post at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin came to the rescue, mercilessly denying the Inter players' attempts to score, allowing the ball to bounce off the line after a loud bang against the post, leaving all the visitors' supporters in despair as if they couldn't believe what was happening before them. The broadcaster also captured the tearful expression of a young Inter fan about 10 years old after the incident, which made everyone feel the cruelty of competitive sports.

The visitors' siege continued after that, but they were never able to create a good chance to leak holes in Torino's defence. In the last minute of normal time, Brozovic sent a long diagonal pass to the goal from the left, Casillas jumped high to pick the ball safely, but in the process of falling, he was hit by the teenager Caramo, causing strong dissatisfaction among the home team players and fans at the scene. Cassie's waist was suspected to have been twisted when he landed, but fortunately, after a simple treatment by the team doctor, there was no major problem, but a lot of game time was wasted.

In the end, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Torino beat third Champions League rivals Inter Milan 1-0 at home stadium to extend the gap to seven points, and they still have a game in hand. After the game, almost all the media thought that the top three positions in the league were no longer in suspense, and became the hottest topic in Italian football in the following days.
