Later, when faced with some obviously biased questions, Li Mudi still had an attitude of not saying much, and he ended with just a few words, and only said a few more words when his compatriots asked questions full of kindness. Of course, there is a price to be paid for this, and the Italian media have put him on a "blacklist", that is, the least popular interview subjects in the media. For a long time in the future, he commented on the Turin coach with negative emotions, and almost became a public enemy of the whole country, and even the "Corriere della Sera" and "La Repubblica", which have always tended to be fairly fair, were resentful because they had not been cooperating for a long time and could not get a detailed report on Li Mudi. Thanks to the local "Torino Sports Newspaper" is still quite firm, this did not make the head coach of the Celestial Empire completely a negative figure in the media.

After coping with the press conference, Li Mudi had just returned to the dressing room to see what kind of rhetoric Allegri would say through the TV broadcast signal when he was disrupted by the club staff who rushed over to give an interview. What the hell is this guy sending over is a list of Juventus' starters for this game that has just been submitted, and there are no names of Pjanic and Dybala on it!?

Although the Bosnian midfielder was one of the few main players to start in the Champions League in midweek, the tempo of the game was not fast, and the opponent was a weak team like Dinamo Zagreb, and Pjanic, who was substituted in the 80th minute, estimated that he did not even use 50% of his strength, and after three days of rest, he should have no physical problems at all. And didn't Marchisio, Higuain and Mandzukic, who started together in that game, still get the same place in the main position today? Is there something going on here? Through the FM system, the state of the Bosnian people is very good!

In addition, the Argentine striker Dybala, who has fully recovered from injury, is also very physical and athletic, at least better than the Croatian center, could it be that Allegri pressed the energetic genius on the bench because the latter's header advantage is more obvious and will have a greater impact on the Torino team's backline! Well, the main reason why Li Mudi is so emotional is that most of the hard work he has worked on before has been in vain.

Juventus started the Colombian winger Cuadrado, who is more good at individual assaults and side crosses, and paired with Mandzukic, who is 1.90 meters tall, this is the meaning of playing high-altitude balls, aiming at the weakness of Turin's poor defensive defense. The three midfielders Marchisio, Khedira and Italy international Stefano Sturaro are not good playmakers, and without Pjanic, it seems that the old lady is trying to simplify the attack. I don't know if Allegri was really able to guess Li Mudi's mind and target it, or it was just an accidental normal rotation, anyway, this tactical idea just avoided the pressing tactics that the Torino coach had planned before, so that the latter didn't know what to say.

Juve's defense was still started by the 94-year-old Rugani, who was the main player of the Italian national team, when Bonucci was unable to play. With Swiss international Lichtsteiner and Brazilian left-back Alex Sandro in charge of the two flanks, Lichtsteiner's return to the starting line-up after Alves' injury has given the Old Lady a big boost in their defensive capabilities, as the former Barcelona defender still prefers to attack, which is not good news for the home side whose attacking form is scarrisome, as the Swiss rarely put in assists desperately and will not leave a gap behind them. As for the goalkeeper position, there is naturally no one else except the ageless legend - Buffon.

Faced with this situation, Li Mudi had to put down all unimportant things, gather the players who were still doing physiotherapy and relaxation exercises, and began to rearrange the tactical play while there were still more than ten minutes before the final stepping on the court. Since the starting list of the Torino team has been submitted, although it can be changed before the start of the game, making passive adjustments will definitely greatly dampen the morale of the players, so it is generally rare to change the list unless it is absolutely necessary. And the opponent's tactical idea is high-altitude bombing, and the Torino coach has no players who can play a role in this aspect to replace, or the whole squad is flawed!

After secretly complaining in his heart, Li Mudi hurriedly informed everyone of the latest information, and then adjusted the thinking at the beginning of the game: the main attack on the road guarded by Sturaro and Alex Sandro, although the former worked very hard and ran actively on the defensive end, but his ability to play the ball was poor, and he couldn't fight back at the first time if he stealed; The latter has frequent assists and is easy to reveal the space behind him, and the Torino team can send a cross on this side after attracting Chiellini's supplementary defense, allowing Belotti to directly single out the still a little immature Rugani, although the young man is 190 cm tall and has good header ability, but after all, he is still inexperienced, and he may not be able to play his full strength in the face of the league's top scorer. As for whether this vision can be realized, we will only have to wait until the start of the game to see.

Li Mudi started 4-3-3, goalkeeper: Joe Hart, right-back Bruno Perez, central defenders Kastan and Rossetini, left-back Bareka, three midfielders: Akwa, central midfielders Benasi and Baseli, and front: right winger Iago Farke, left winger Rajadzic, center forward Belotti.

Less than 15 minutes after the final warm-up of the players on both sides, Ancora Toro (still a bull) of the Torino team singer was accompanied by the chorus of the fans, and the players of both sides led the young caddies into the field under the leadership of the referee team of the game. After the Serie A theme song was played, the away players passed by the home team players in turn and shook hands one by one, while the two managers outside the stadium also came to the middle and hugged each other. Then the captains Benassi and Buffon on both sides of the field began to guess the coin and pick the side at the signal of referee Rocchi, the Italian international chose the field under their feet after guessing correctly, and the Torino team got the right to kick off first.

Speaking of Rochi, the current Serie A whistle, Li Muddy is helpless, he has officiated a total of four Torino derbies before, the Red Bulls lost all of them, and last season's 1-2 away defeat to the Old Lady in the league is this guy on duty, which can be described as the derby nemesis of the Torino team.

Before the official start of the game, commentators and guests from Italian national television, Sky Sports (the game was broadcast live worldwide), CCTV Sports Channel and Xiaoshi online platform were also seizing the time to popularize the history of the two sides to the audience. Prior to this match, the two teams in the same city of Torino had met a total of 193 official matches, and the old lady had the absolute upper hand with 83 wins, 54 draws and 56 losses; Among them, the two sides have met a total of 142 times in the league, and the Bianconeri still have a 66-win, 41-draw and 35-loss advantage, especially as mentioned earlier, the Red Bulls have not beaten their local rivals for more than 20 years before winning 2-1 in the 32nd round of the 2014-15 season; As for the Torino team in the league, they only have 20 wins, 20 draws and 30 losses, lagging behind the opponent. In short, the Turin derby is the tragic history of a bull being trampled under the hooves of a zebra, and by all indications, it seems inevitable that something will happen today.

With the referee's whistle, the 194th Turin derby officially began, with the home team in the traditional crimson shirt attacking from the left side of the main stand to the right, while the opponent wore the same traditional black and white striped shirt. Torino did 100 per cent follow the manager's pre-match arrangement, and the first tentative attack hit the right flank, Falke did not find a chance to break through under Sturaro's follow-up, so he had to pass the ball back to Benassi, who came up to pick up, and then continued to increase his runs on the flank, waiting for the next possible opening.

And Juventus is really as Li Muddy expected, when instigating the attack, not dragging mud in the midfield, Marchisio's passing and receiving ability is good, but he is a modern all-round midfielder similar to Lampard and Gerrard, and is not suitable to be a playmaker like Pirlo; Khedira is more defensive, only receiving teammates with short passes and running on the offensive end, as well as a long-range shot that is not always effective; As for Sturalo, please allow Li Mudi to call him "Rough Brother", he is a strengthened version of Li Tie, his technical ability is mediocre, I don't know how he squeezed into the regular rotation lineup in the Italian national team and Juventus, this kind of player should be cheap...... Sell to the Torino team and let the Celestial Empire coach tune it well. Teach it, save yourself from being complained by the fans. But I have to say that this guy's mental attributes are really strong, and he is definitely a big-scene player who dares to take on some challenges.

Because the three midfielders of the old woman are not very good at dribbling, so in order to avoid being tackled by the Torino team because of sticky balls, they play a quick counterattack on the spot, they pass directly from the midfield to the front line in the middle and long distance passes, although the success rate is far less stable than the short pass, but the victory is in the tower of Mandzukic, coupled with Higuain's excellent off-ball running, combined with the right winger Cuadrado and left wingback Alex Sandro side attack, can still cause a lot of pressure on the home team's backline.

In the fifth minute, Marchisio passed the ball on the right side of the front, Mandzukic carried Kastan with the ball, but failed to control the ball at his feet, and finally touched the bottom line. Two minutes later, the Croatian centre-forward switched sides to the right and forced a breakthrough to the bottom line before choosing to pass back, but it was a pity that Sturalo, who was outflanked in the middle, did not make reasonable technical moves and did not touch the ball when he fell to the ground. In the ninth minute, Baseli's diagonal long pass from the left side of the midfield to the right front Fark was intercepted in advance by Alex Sandro who grabbed it, and the ball was then passed to the feet of Khedira, and the German midfielder unexpectedly came to a heel knock in the face of Akwa's marking, and the ball was moved from his left side to the right side, but unfortunately the technical ability was still not enough, the power was a little big, and he lost a good opportunity to shoot directly from the feet. A minute later, Juventus finally had their first official goal of the game, when Marchisio's diagonal cross from the right rib was met by Mandzukic's header with little power and was easily picked up by Hart.

Just when the home team seemed to be completely suppressed, they took advantage of an oversight on the part of the opponent to play a quick counterattack, Joe Hart directly hit the ball with a big foot to find the space in the away team's back, Belotti carried Rugani to make the opponent unable to jump to the top, after the ball bounced over the bodies of the two people, the Torino shooter immediately and flexibly turned around the opponent as the axis, and then prepared to kick the ground to chase the ball, if it was successfully obtained, it could form a one-knife goal. Because judging from the comparison of these two players, whether it is the top speed or acceleration ability, Red Beibei is superior.

Just when people thought the home team was about to get a golden chance, the two men made physical contact, Belotti, who was 9 centimeters shorter and 9 kilograms lighter, was pulled to the ground by the Juventus centre-back at the flank, and the ball was chased by Rugani and his header was returned to Buffon, who had just attacked. The loss of this great opportunity to score was enough to make the home team jump up and down in anger, and what is even more unbelievable is that the referee actually raised his hand to signal that the game went on as usual, without even blowing a foul, which completely triggered the anger of the entire Olympic Stadium, and the red bull fans who occupied the vast majority of the seats first booed, and then all kinds of foul words began to burst out.

Fortunately, the Turin City Government was well prepared for the derby, and all the police officers who had no important tasks and who had planned to go on leave gathered in the stadium today in order to try to stop the fans from rioting. Disorderly. Under the deterrence of these heavily armed police officers armed with riot shields, some small acts of discord by the fans were stifled and did not cause any major chaos.

However, the fans could only stand up and scold on the sidelines, but Li Mudi could rush out of the coach's seat to talk to the fourth official face to face, only to see the Torino coach pointing at the other party with a red face and shouting in a super loud voice: "What's going on with this XX?" Did the man in the light green suit on the field get distracted for a moment just now? People all over the world saw that it was a foul, that kid was the last player on the backline, and he should have been sent off with a red card, why is my player still lying on the ground now, and XX is starting to attack over there? Can anyone tell me what's going on with this XX? ”

The dignity of the referee is naturally not allowed to be provoked, and the fourth official, who was sprayed with saliva, pulled a long face and warned the Turin coach in a very stern tone: "Coach Li Mudi, you even used insulting words to question the judgment of our referees, I will record the words just now in the referee's report, and recommend to the Football Association that you be punished." Now, please retreat to your dugout, or I'll prompt the referee to come and send you off. ”

"My temper! Do you dare to compete with me here? I ......" Before Li Muddy could have any further attacks, he was pulled back by Scholes, who had hurried in, and Sumfield stood in front of the team's boss with a blank face, and began a cold exchange with the fourth official. Of course, this communication will not change the decision just now, but at least it can put pressure on the referee team to show that the Torino team will not be easily rubbed like a soft persimmon. You know, the anger of a bull is hard for ordinary people to resist, and this is best known to the Spanish bullfighters and the victims who died on the bull run and under the hooves and horns of the bulls.
