The home side's starting line-up continued to include a number of key players, with Montella making five changes compared to the Olympic game three days ago. Desiglio and Paraguayan centre-back Gustavo López, who joined last summer, replaced Calabria and Romagnoli, while Argentina international José Sousa and Kucka, who are also new to the season, have joined Bertolaci in central midfield, and Lapadula, who was poached from Pescara, replaced Baca in the attack, with the remaining six players all starting regularly in recent league games.

Because the Italian Football Federation stipulates that the suspension of the league and the cup (except for the additional suspension) is not interchangeable, so Romagnoli, who was sent off by two yellows and one red in the league, can actually play today, but he suddenly got the flu the day before yesterday and has been absent from the team training for two consecutive days, and has to act as a spectator in the league today and weekend, and the Paraguayan central defender has a rare chance to start.

Jose Sousa and Lapadula spent the Rossoneri 8 million and 9 million respectively last summer, but they failed to earn more trust from the manager in the first half of the season, and they did not make many appearances, but their quality should not be underestimated. Kucka's appearance is simply because there is no one available but him, Montolivo's injury has not improved, and Locatelli and Pasalic, who started in the last round of the league, have not been able to recover their fitness.

Finally, I would like to focus on the Italian international Desiglio, who joined the AC Milan academy at the age of 10 and represented the youth team at the age of 15, he is an absolute red and black line, his right foot is the main foot but can play two wings at the same time, and the idol is the eternal legend Paulo Maldini. Having made his senior debut in 2011 in a Champions League group stage win against Viktoria Plzen, then-boss Allegri has since been a key part of the Rossoneri's rotation, rising to the top of the squad in 2012/13 and being named in the Serie A Team of the Year. However, the injury still slowed down Desiglio's pace of catching up with his idol, and he suffered a more serious injury for three consecutive years, and gradually lost the opportunity to consolidate his position in the team.

The resurgence of form this season due to the resurgence of two veterans of Abate and Antonelli, as well as the emergence of youngster Calabria, has given Montella more options in the formation of his line-up, which has led to a sharp reduction in Desiglio's appearances, which has also led to a growing dissatisfaction in his heart. According to the information provided by the FM system, Li Mudi can clearly find that he has already had the idea of leaving the team, and his attitude is still very firm. Because his current contract expires in the summer of 2018, if he does not renew his contract, he will be able to negotiate a free transfer with other teams in the winter window next year. So AC Milan may have to sell him this summer, and Juventus will be most interested in him, and perhaps Desiglio will soon be able to restructure the national team's backline with Leonardo Bonucci and Giellini at the Old Lady.

Montella's change was made with the best choice in mind the players' competitive and physical condition, which was not expected by the outside world, after all, AC Milan are not guaranteed a top-five finish in the league and still have to fight in the cup. What really shocked everyone was the starting line-up from the visitors' side, with Padelli, Silvestri, Moretti, Kastan, Avilar, Fabas, Las Diarra, John Husset, Cherci, Lucas Boyer and Rajadzic, none of the eleven who started last weekend standing on the pitch at the start of today's game.

When it came to the list of two long-absent signings, everyone understood the Torino manager's thoughts, he had already given up on the cup competition, and he had disguised this intention so secretly, and few people would have guessed that he would have such a limit. You must know that the two teams are fighting to the death for a place in Europe in the league, and the strength of the momentum is likely to be a key factor in determining the final outcome. That's a lot of guts.

Seeing that he would use an ICBM to fight against the slingshot in the opponent's hand, Montella felt a feeling of being seriously humiliated in terms of intelligence, and the anger suddenly came up, and he wanted to immediately give the players the order to attack with all their might and kick the opponent's net out. However, the "little plane", which has reached 17 in emotional control, has gradually found the rhythm of the road to a famous coach in the past six years of coaching experience, and calmed himself down in time, knowing that he must not be rash at this time. Now that the opponent has given up the cup competition to fight for the league, then the home team will no longer have any obstacles to today's promotion, and the team's focus must also shift to the next league, and the weekend's game cannot be unexpected because of today's anger, after all, Torino is still ahead of AC Milan in the standings, and if you want to maintain the state of double insurance, you must not allow the points of both sides to be stretched.

So the coach of the home team made the latest arrangement of his players before the start of the game, asking them to use their best in the first 20 minutes of the game, try to get two or more goals as soon as possible to seal the victory, and then in the later time to save energy as the main goal, use long possession of the ball to complete the game, and reserve enough energy for the 22nd against Napoli. But as everyone knows, his tactical idea was expected by Li Mudi in advance, and he made a very targeted deployment, making the process of the game far less strong and weak than people expected before, but unexpectedly had content to watch.

After the referee blew the opening whistle, the home team that got the right to kick off launched a very imposing attack, and without making any temptation, the soldiers pressed the situation, and directly pressed the opponent's eleven players back to the half. Since starting center forward Lapadula is only 178 cm tall and not good at aerial work, AC Milan's attacking style is almost all ground coordination, Jose Sousa is very forward, looking more like a forward midfielder, his imagination, vision, passing and receiving technical ability are above 15 points, and he can indeed exert great power in this position. With his centralization, the home team's passing control showed great control, making the Torino players a little tired and looking like they could leak at any moment, while the crowd of nearly 65,000 home fans who wanted to see the team get revenge kept putting pressure on the visitors with high-decibel shouts, and some reporters judged that the score might soon be rewritten.

However, the visitors' defence, although it has been in a shaky situation, has always miraculously regained its balance before it is about to collapse, and the opposition has never been able to score goals. In the sixth minute, Bonaventura, who played as a left winger for the second game in a row, was on the left side of the box after receiving a through ball from Jose Sousa, but his shot was heavily disrupted by Kasta's blocking, which adjusted the angle and went wide of the far post. Two minutes later, Lapadula was marked at the edge of the penalty area and turned the ball back, Slovakia midfielder Kucka shot directly from 30 meters away from the goal, and the ball went straight to the top right corner of the goal with a strong outside instep arc, but unfortunately it finally flew out of the bottom line less than ten centimeters from the post, and also relieved Padeli, who flew to save but failed to touch the ball.

In the thirteenth minute, Jose Sosa, who had retreated into the midfield circle to receive the team's pass, suddenly drove the ball straight into the front of the field, found the visitors' space under the running pull of two wide teammates, and sent an imaginative through ball. At the moment when Lapadula, who was wearing the number 9 shirt, was about to take the ball into a one-on-one situation, the veteran Moretti flew to the ground and gently rubbed the ball with his right toe, causing its trajectory to deviate slightly, creating enough time for Casta and Silvestri to chase back and avoid a golden opportunity for the home team to score. Four minutes later, AC Milan's tactical corner set up a long-range shot from the corner of the box by Bertolaci, but his shot was not able to lift enough power and did not meet the two players in front of goal to change direction, and was blocked by the solid Torino goalkeeper with both hands, and Avilar cleared off the touchline.

In the first 20 minutes of the game, the ratio of possession was about 2 to 1, and the ratio of shots on goal to shots on target was 6 to 1 and 2 to 0 respectively. Considering that the impatience of the players can have a big impact on the offensive end, Montella decided to give up the attack for a while after a few minutes of consideration, and use the reduced tempo to recover his fitness and mentality, and then look for an opportunity to launch a wave of strong attacks. But no one could have guessed that the goals would come in this quiet period, and what is even more unbelievable is that it was the Red Bulls who took the lead.

In the 24th minute, AC Milan began to retreat about six or seven meters back from the formation that had been pressed forward before possession, and most of the possession area was concentrated in the middle of the field, in order to attract the visitors' backline. The home team's starting players today are generally not slow, but the three forwards are all 15 ability, not very good fast horses, so Li Mudi is not too afraid of their direct passes, as long as the four defenders can concentrate, and Russ can successfully interfere with Jose Sosa's pass, it is likely to make the opponent's back ball unpowerful. As a result, the Torino team took advantage of the situation to move the overall formation forward a bit, taking over the position left behind by the opponent's retreat, and the dividing line between the two sides was closer to the midfield line, which also brought a turnaround to the attacking organization of the visiting players.

In the 26th minute, the French midfielder, who was making his first official appearance for his new club, suddenly burst into the level of the world's top midfielder, first snatching the ball from the feet of Jose Sosa in a one-on-one duel, and then chose to drive the ball into the heart of the opponent without passing it to his teammates, and distributed the ball to the right side when two defenders came to cover it. Chelci, who had not been in a flashy performance until now, played with his previous fame masterpiece, using the change of tempo and pace to complete a beautiful dribble that changed direction, shook off the somewhat careless Desiglio and sent in a cross with an inaccurate right foot.

Boyer flanked and jumped high to head the ball into goal, but Gustavo López, who was good defensively, couldn't fully exert his strength and was saved by Donnarumma. The ball rolled right to Rajadzic on the left side of the penalty area, and the Serb fired a direct volley into goal, and the reflexing Milan goalkeeper made another world-class save to get a one-handed shot on the goal line.

But Lady Luck made a joke at this time, the ball hit López's calf and bounced back to the goal, and Xiao Tang, who had fallen to the ground, could no longer make the rest of the movements, and could only watch the ball fly over his arm. 0-1, the Red Bulls, who were fighting away, took the lead with this own goal of the opponent.

After seeing the goal, the home fans were stunned, and even the Milan coach Montella on the sidelines widened his eyes and thought he had seen a hallucination. In front of the bench of the visiting team, it was a different scene, Belotti and other team cores jumped to the sidelines, hugging each other to celebrate the goal, while applauding the teammates in the field to show praise, even Li Mudi, who had not expected too much before, waved his fist twice happily, sighing in his heart that his luck was not too good!

The home team that accidentally conceded the goal had no choice but to give up their previous plans and had to press out again to attack aggressively and try to equalize as soon as possible. Although the physical exertion of the passive defenders is much greater than that of the attacking side, the Rossoneri have a number of players on the pitch who have just finished a fierce league game three days ago, and their physical strength is not better than that of the away team, which is not much different. However, this is obviously worse for the home team in the long run, and if they can't get back on the scoreline in the shortest possible time, every minute of delay will reduce the chances of winning in the league at the weekend, and Napoli, who have recently won seven and drawn two unbeaten in all competitions, will not easily let go of a good chance to win away from their rivals.

Although the strength was a notch higher than that of the opponent, and the home game occupied the advantage, Montella's team finally only scored one goal in 90 minutes through Kucka, not only failed to reduce the physical wear, but also had to play another half hour of extra time, which can be said to be worse. And Li Mudi failed to prove how wise the previous penalty training was, because Lapadula's goal in the 108th minute still helped the home team avoid the crisis of the penalty shootout, otherwise with the current luck of both sides, AC Milan's hope of advancing is not as big as that of the opponent.

In the end, the Torino team still regretted to say goodbye to this season's Coppa Italia in the first round of the main competition, but afterwards, both Montella and most of the media gave praise to Li Mudi and his team, believing that the Bulls have no team to underestimate and that they will be one of the strongest contenders for European qualification.
