While the Italian media was analysing, predicting and discussing the Turin derby in the Coppa Italia final in two months' time, the medical team reported the injuries of several players at the team's morning meeting on Thursday, and as the FM system gave the results, the Red Bulls suffered a serious personnel shortage crisis.

Ranocchia, Dickman, Gourcuff, Moretti and Farke, all of whom need to recuperate for more than 10 days, will not only be unable to play in this weekend's league game, but will also be unable to match the crucial game away to Roma next weekend. Only Silvestri, who has been diagnosed with a soft tissue injury to his nose, will not be out for long, and if he takes precautions, he should be able to play next week when he hosts Lokomotiv Moscow in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

According to Li Mudi's previous plan, due to the two strong opponents of Roma and Fiorentina in the next two weeks, this week's home game against the underdog Crotone will carry out a wide range of rotation of the lineup, and the players' physical fitness will be adjusted in turn, so as to successfully pass the difficult schedule of this half month. However, the sudden outbreak of injuries has directly reduced the number of players regularly available in the first team to a level that can fill the 23-man squad, and the future is hardly optimistic.

Fortunately, the opponent's strength after three days is really not strong, the Torino team still has the advantage of home, and the winning chance is still very big, the key is whether the head coach dares to be more bold in the ranking layout, while allowing more veteran players to rest, it can also provide more opportunities for the young people in the academy to show themselves.

Because the time was very tight, Li Mudi did not think about this matter for too long. In the afternoon, five youngsters in Torino's youth team, including striker Johannes Egerstein, right-back Simeone Ambrogio, centre-back Ricardo Marchiza, left-back Luca Pellegrini, and centre-back Alessandro Bastoni, who can play at left-back, were temporarily selected for the first team and were not included in the squad for this week's youth team, meaning they are almost certain to be on the bench for at least the first team's match against Crotone.

This news has become a hot topic of discussion on the fan forum in the past two days, and everyone is excited about the possibility of an explosion in their own youth training. Even if the rules of football alone suggest that the other four lads are not considered to be Torino Academy at the moment, and it will take at least two years to meet the requirements, this does not prevent the team's supporters from expressing a wave of joy after seeing the bright future prospects of the Red Bulls.

Li Mudi does have the intention to reuse the young people of this youth team in the next league, and because they have often been drawn to train with the first team before, and the tactics used by the club's various echelons are also consistent, so there is no problem in terms of adaptability.

However, Crotone, even if they are relegation teams, are far better than the youth team, and the lads need to show 100 per cent to be able to compete with experienced opponents. Therefore, the intensity of the training in these two days has been adjusted to a large extent, which is intended to make them accustomed to the fierce rhythm and physical confrontation of the senior team, and also to help several young people feel the pressure of professional games in advance and prepare for possible appearances in the future.

On Friday night, the Torino coach did not go straight home after dragging his slightly tired body after a busy day, but made other arrangements. My parents had returned to Mallorca yesterday, and it had been more than a month since they left the farm. Besides, the two old people are still more accustomed to the climate and living environment in the suburbs of the Spanish island, and no matter how good the son is here, he does not have his own home to live comfortably.

Lin Yuna was invited by the sponsor to go to France to participate in the annual Paris Spring Fashion Week, because there are a lot of activities to attend, so this time she will stay until the end of the fashion week to return. It just so happened that Zizu sent Li Mudi two tickets for the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid next Tuesday, and the Torino coach did not have time to watch in person because he was going to lead the team to the Europa League game, so he handed over the two tickets that had been fried by scalpers to more than 7,000 euros to his girlfriend.

Lin Yuna decided to take her agent surnamed Park Kimchi Country to watch the game at the Prince Stadium, which made the latter, who is a crazy fan, excited and flew from Asia to Paris early, waiting in front of the saddle, and praised Lin Yuner on the Internet, successfully making the latter a hot search figure in Kimchi Country this week.

So now Li Mudi is the only one left in the house, and he looks very lonely. But he didn't go back immediately after work that day, naturally not to go out to enjoy the nightlife, but to make an appointment, a lawyer from the Celestial Empire was waiting for the arrival of the Turin coach in a café not far from the club's residence.

As mentioned earlier, Li Mudi has always had a wish, that is, to buy a European football club by himself, and be able to fully control all the construction, operation, transfer and other work as in the game, instead of being controlled by others everywhere like now. But the reality is extremely cruel, it is said that his current amount of savings of up to 22 million euros is considered a small rich man in a highly developed Europe, but it is far from enough to buy a club that meets the basic conditions.

Not to mention the individual countries that do not allow foreigners to have club decisions, and not to mention the leagues ranked outside the top 10 in Europe, just looking at the seven highest-ranking European football circles in Spain, England, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, and the Netherlands, it is very difficult for Li Mudi to open up the situation in any of them.

More than half of the clubs in Spain implement the membership system, the ownership of the club cannot be attributed to the individual, the strength of the minority shareholding system is poor, and the equity composition is complex, and the first division team does not have hundreds of millions of euros to base the right to speak. As for running a low-level league team like coach Xu Gengbao, it is not a good choice, and the cities where those teams are located are basically small, which means that the market is not large, and there is almost no possibility of developing into a top team.

The same applies to Italy, France, Portugal and the Netherlands, where big-city, well-established teams are expensive and almost no one will sell, and those who can afford them have little potential for development.

Germany has similar problems, but the main reason for not being able to buy the country's team is the famous "50+1" policy. The statutes of the German Football Association and the Bundesliga stipulate that each football club must have at least 51% of the voting rights of its internal members and a maximum of 49% of the voting rights of its business partners or investors when making decisions on major matters. That is to say, even if Li Mudi completely acquires a German team, he cannot monopolize the operation of the team, and must be supervised and restricted by the majority of members, which is equivalent to spending 100% of the money but can only be a second master, no one will be stupid to this extent.

With the exception of a handful of teams such as Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg, which are entirely invested by companies, and are exempt from this clause, the rest of the teams, including Bayern Munich, must strictly abide by this rule. Of course, Dortmund, as a public company, can also ignore this rule in name, but the stake of Bumblebee is more complicated, so I won't elaborate here.

The implementation of the "50+1" policy has successfully helped Germany limit the invasion of Jinyuan football, ensure the financial health of the team, maintain the stability of German football, and avoid the situation of local tyrants disrupting the domestic market to the greatest extent, but it has also led to their gradual financial resources being thrown away by the leagues of other European countries, and their competitiveness has decreased significantly.

This season, the German team has performed very poorly in Europe, the three teams participating in the Europa League were all eliminated in the group stage, and only the two old faces of Bayern and Dort and the three teams of Red Bull Salzburg remained, and the league ranking was also surpassed by Italy to become the "fourth league in Europe", which is a manifestation of their gradual inability to keep up with the competition. In the past two years, there have been frequent incidents of people proposing to repeal the clause, but in the end, it has been abandoned, and it has also declared that outsiders can hardly enter the country's football circle.

Finally, there are the English teams, the British Peninsula and their arch-rival Germany are completely at opposite extremes, where the football world is the most capitalized place in the world, and you can buy any team if you have enough money. Except, of course, those controlled by Russian oligarchs (who need to rationalize the transfer of assets and club owners who need to evade the pursuit of the Russian ZF) and Middle Eastern royalty (in order to increase their influence and connections in the world, in addition to some ZZ purposes) control, after all, people are not bad for money.

So theoretically, buying an English team is the most ideal choice for Li Mudi, but this choice is still unreliable at the moment because he doesn't have enough money. Due to the environmental impact of large-scale capital investment, the market value of teams at all levels in England can be said to have risen in the past decade or so, the Premier League's relegation team has more budget every year than the Torino team in the top three in Serie A, at least one-third of the total assets of the Championship team have exceeded the Red Bulls, or in the past two years, the sponsors of the Celestial Empire have brought a lot of economic benefits to the latter, which is unimaginable in other countries.

20 million euros does not seem too small, but in England, it is estimated that at most it will be possible to buy a team at the bottom of the fourth division, and it will have to catch up with the owner's intention to sell it on his own initiative, otherwise you can only start from the English Football Nations League. If you want to bring this kind of semi-amateur team to the top, even with the help of the FM system, without more than ten years of hard work, Li Mudi does not think that he has the opportunity to upgrade as described in those online sports, and become a giant immediately after entering the Premier League, which is too YY.

Although he believes that if he really wants to buy a club in the future, the probability of finally choosing the United Kingdom will be more than 90%, but just looking at the current financial situation, the possibility of achieving the goal in a short period of time is almost none, and it seems that it is still more profitable to be king!

And just when the Torino coach gradually put the idea of owning his own team on hold temporarily, he received a news from the country that the team in his hometown intended to sell part of the shares due to financial and management reasons, and the provincial and municipal leaders immediately thought of whether they could let the first person in the domestic football world come in and participate, so they contacted Li Mudi through his agent Gines at the end of last year.

In 2014, JAC Litian Football Club, funded by JAC Litian Group, was officially established, and won the championship of the Eastern Division of the Heavenly Dynasty Football League in that year, promoted to the Tianyi League, and won the fifth place in the South Division of the Second Division in the second year in the second year. At the end of the year, Beijiang Volcano Mingquan Green Natural Mineral Water Co., Ltd. purchased the entire equity of the club and officially renamed it Volcano Mingquan Football Club, becoming the fifth professional football club in the history of the province, with its home stadium located in the Bingcheng International Convention and Exhibition Sports Center. On November 5, 2017, the Volcano Mingquan team defeated the opponent with a score of 3-0 to win the championship of last season's Tianjia League, and successfully qualified for this year's Tianjia League.

In the more than two years that the company took over the club, although the team's results are good, but the operating conditions are very average, through the company's financial report released in November last year, it can be seen that the club's total assets at that time were 13.94 million soft girls, but the net assets were negative 33.8 million, which is a serious insolvent state. In order not to affect the normal operation of the team, Volcano Mingquan Green Natural Mineral Water Co., Ltd. decided to transfer part of the club's equity as soon as possible, in exchange for some funds to help the team relegate and even rush to the Super League.

As we all know, there is no doubt about the enthusiasm of fans in Bingcheng and even Northern Xinjiang, but the economic environment there is not optimistic, and several teams, including Yi Teng, have not been able to stay in the end, which has a significant relationship with the club's low income. Even if the club's managers were willing to "sell" their shares cheaply, the response was very dismal, with only one company related to road maintenance showing a willingness to take over, but the conditions put forward were somewhat harsh, wanting to exchange a pitiful 3 million yuan for a 30% stake.

The investors of Volcano Mingquan, who were originally in a helpless situation, were about to grit their teeth and agree to this plan, but they were reported to the deputy mayor of the provincial ZF in charge of sports after being informed by the officials of the provincial Football Association, which led to the incident of contacting Li Mudi. Before the Torino coach returned to his hometown, he repeatedly supported the popularization of football in the local area, which left a deep impression on the leaders.

After learning that his hometown team had suffered hardship, Li Mudi stood up and chose to stand up to help them through the temporary difficulties. He entrusted his cousin to set up a sports investment company, and then bought a 29% stake in Volcano Mingquan Football Club for 6 million soft girls, and agreed that if the other party needs to sell the remaining shares in the future, at the same price, he has the right of first refusal. In addition, he also hired a part-time financial director from Baozi's accounting firm to supervise the use of finances at the club from time to time to avoid possible waste or even malicious embezzlement.

After signing his name on the contract handed over by the lawyer in the café, Li Mudi officially became the second largest shareholder of Volcano Mingquan Football Club, although the name of his cousin was used on the paper, but the capital and actual owner were the Torino coach.
