Although the tenacity of the players is very comforting, the failure to take three points from the Frankie Stadium will not allow the team to avoid being overtaken by rivals, and the Red Bulls, who have failed to win two consecutive games, have slipped to sixth place in the table, and AC Milan behind them are only one point away from them, and next season's European qualification can be said to be in jeopardy.

However, after the game, many media outlets did not give a single word to the Torino manager, but mostly focused on the team's performance in the second half after a two-goal deficit, a spirit that has been promoted and encouraged by competitive sporting events, so it is not surprising that it has been widely praised. "Corriere della Sera" and "La Repubblica" also kindly mentioned that after Li Mudi joined the team, he led the team to complete the final moment of the game many times, equalizing or even deciding, thinking that it was this Celestial Empire who brought the Torino team this rich heritage, which helped him become famous.

And some people on the Internet put the Torino coach and the Real Madrid coach Zizou, who has repeatedly staged whistle-blowing kills this season, saying that both of them are "God's favorites". However, in the ancient countries of the East, people preferred to refer to them as the "two sons of metaphysics", and after this statement spread to Europe, it made the classic books of metaphysics such as "Tao Te Ching" once again triggered people's rush to buy.

But Li Mudi, whose fame has improved, did not smile at this time, and after he returned to the hotel with the team for about half an hour of live broadcast, when he was about to rest early, he received a phone call that made people angry and helpless.

Valentino Cairo, who remained in Turin, informed him of the news that was about to spread across European football: the Chelsea scout was recognised by Sky Sports reporters as he left the pitch during the just-concluded Verde-Tu match. According to the situation of the players on both sides, the only object he can investigate can only be Belotti, and the others seem to be unable to enter the eyes of Conte and the Premier League giants. That is to say, following the German media "Sport Bild" on February 18, citing the Italian media "La Stampa", Bayern Munich is interested in Torino's number one striker, and two days ago it was revealed that Real Madrid is also focusing on red babies, and a third giant has joined the poaching army.

In fact, in the early part of the season, the suitors of the new No. 9 of the Italian national team could form a platoon, but at that time, most of them were second-rate teams in Europe, and the price they could give was not high. However, as Belotti proved his ability again and again with a steady stream of goals, and Torino's results got better and better, a number of first-team teams began to join the ranks of interest. According to Li Mudi's observation through the FM system, there was a time when Liverpool was on the verge of asking for a quote. Fortunately, the Torino club signed a new contract with the popular fried chicken in time to send away those teams who wanted to poach. But even with a penalty of 100 million euros, it still didn't stop Arsenal from making an offer in the winter, and Belotti's popularity now can be seen.

However, compared with the stingy professors, the local tyrants such as Real Madrid, Grand Paris and Chelsea who are not bad for money are more unstoppable, and they can stun their opponents with money. 100 million euros is a budget of more than two seasons for most clubs, but for the local tycoons, it is just a number, and for them, as long as they make a move, there is almost nothing they can't do.

So Li Mudi, who had already been in bed, lost sleep this night, and kept thinking about how to adjust the recruitment plan and tactical arrangements for next season if he lost his number one goal machine in the summer, and whether the team's strength could still be guaranteed to be among the top of the league.

The next morning, after hastily eating breakfast, the coach of the team who led the team back to Turin City took the flight, and after returning to the club's residence and announcing the local dispersal, he was pulled to the conference room by the prince of the club. Director Pantario Longo, who was already seated inside, handed him a copy of the Daily Mirror, an early publication of the British media outlet, which provided a more detailed analysis of why Chelsea wanted to bring in Belotti.

Last summer, the Blues spent £33 million (roughly €39 million) from Marseille to bring in Belgium national team substitute centre-forward Michy Batshuayi, a versatile player who won over a number of top-flight teams with 23 goals and 10 assists in 50 appearances last season. At one point, West Ham were very close to signing him, and according to media reports at the time, the two sides were almost close to a final signing. But no one wanted to suddenly kill a roadblock, and in the face of the strong interception of the Premier League champions, the Hammers naturally had no resistance, so they missed the top scorer they expected. But the next facts proved that perhaps they were lucky to avoid witnessing the birth of a parallel import.

Of course, the term grey trade may be inappropriate, as Michy Batshuayi has not started in the Premier League since he joined Chelsea eight months ago, with three of his only six starts coming in the Carabao Cup, two FA Cups and one Under-23 league. In the league, he made 16 appearances and played 96 minutes. Yes, you read that right, after 26 rounds of Premier League play, the player has only played one game, and even after Diego Costa suffered a serious injury earlier, Conte only pressed the Belgian to the bench and sent Cesc Fabregas to play as a central striker. Michy Batshuayi's time in games since December: one, one, one, five, six, three, one and three minutes, has been dubbed the 'sign of stoppage time' by English fans, highlighting his status at Stamford Bridge.

The Daily Mirror reporter expects the 24-year-old striker, who still has a chance to prove himself with other teams, does not look set to stay with the Blues and spend his youth and is likely to leave when the transfer window opens in a few months' time. In that case, Conte will only have a positive Indian centre-forward left with the "Prosperous Beauty" who has begun to increase injuries in the past two years, and bringing in a strong goalscorer will be a thorny problem for Chelsea. According to media speculation, there should be at least two names on the Premier League leader's list of strikers: Belotti and Spanish striker Fernando Llorente, who currently plays for Swansea City. And there is no doubt that the former will be their first choice, after all, whether in terms of age or scoring ability, the Italian is the one who has an absolute advantage, although the value difference between the two is also a lot, but the Blues are not the master of no money, people don't care about the tens of millions at all.

Because of this sudden transfer rumor, Torino No. 9 once again became the object of attention of the European football media, according to later statistics, in the next week, he appeared on the cover of more than 20 paper media impurities, in addition to more than 70 other media reports related to it, it can be said that it is popular all over Europe. What makes Li Mudi feel even more helpless is that there are still people who are constantly adding firewood to the fire, and the influence of this matter is constantly expanding.

On Tuesday, a report appeared in the newspaper "Milan Sport" that Italian football celebrity and former AC Milan meritorious coach Saki Torino goalscorer Belotti is a role model for young people to follow, and he responded to a reporter's question: "Belotti gave a very encouraging young person, he is an example for young people to follow, because God does not favor such a talented person, but his integrity and passion are of great value." He's improved a lot now and will continue to improve as a player who can reach the top level. Sacchi, who has been the director of youth programs of the Italian Football Federation since 2010, has always been known for his excellent vision in world football, and he discovered many superstars in the late 80s and early 90s, so this praise for Red Babe is still very convincing.

Perhaps feeling the threat of poaching from those big clubs, Torino Club president Urbano Cairo also added fuel to the fire in an interview with Torino Sport, saying that if Belotti can continue this goalscoring momentum, the club will have to increase his release fee by another 100 million euros. He also praised the team's top card from start to finish, saying that he was "young, has everything to continue to improve, and has great technique and efficiency, can score with his head, left foot and right foot, and never gives up." He is also a very generous and team-oriented player, often dropping back to help the defense...... "in short, I am afraid that others will not know the goods." But no matter how you understand these words, it seems to be selling players, and you almost say "The price of 100 million is too low, whoever can use this money to buy Belotti will be lucky".

Although he thought he had seen very clearly about the nature of Urbano Cairo's businessman, Li Mudi still couldn't accept the other party's move to promote his star so much. A club can be weak or financially strained, but if it doesn't have the ambition to become a strong team and a giant, how can it survive in a football circle with so much competitive pressure? To be honest, he was really disappointed at this moment, doubting his choice last summer, and wondering what kind of future he could have in such a team that was beautiful on his lips but still passable in his bones. And just when the Torino coach was a little confused, he was informed by his agent Gines that the negotiations for a new contract were finally coming to an end.

Since the original contract agreed by the two parties was only valid for one year, it was rumored that Li Mudi might renew his contract when Torino occupied the second place in the table after the eighth round of the league, and before the winter break, negotiations for a new contract officially began. However, due to disagreements on important terms, and the fact that each side wanted to wait for a more suitable moment to see if it could take the initiative, it dragged on until this week.

On the one hand, although the team has just fallen out of the top five, there is a lot of hope in terms of performance, especially the tenacity shown in the game that almost overturned Fiorentina away from home, so that almost everyone is optimistic that Li Mudi's team can successfully break through in the final Europa League qualification competition, which also shakes the mentality of the Torino club management to delay. On the other hand, since the chairman has moved to sell the number one striker, the future results of the team are a bit worrying, and the vision of the current manager and the youth development plan have become the best response for the club, and these businessmen are really shrewd to the bone.

Of course, there is an additional factor that also contributes to some extent. On the evening of the 2nd and 23rd British time, Leicester City officially announced a news that everyone expected: Italian coach Ranieri, who led the Foxes to win the first top league championship in the club's 132-year history, has officially stepped down!

After many British media reports of remembrance, crusade or schadenfreude, most of them listed the new manager that the defending Premier League champions might hire, and Li Mudi's name has been mentioned many times, and this is the second time that the Torino coach has been linked with other clubs. In order not to let others poach their own very good manager for nothing, the top management of the Torino club will still make some concessions.

However, this potential invitation has also become one of the reasons why Li Mudi finally renewed his contract with the current club, and the current top five European leagues have no sign of changing their managers in the summer, and even if the opportunity does appear, it will not fall on the Torino coach, many intercontinental and even world-class coaches who are idle at home are the choice of those teams. As for the other mid-table teams, there is no additional advantage over the current Red Bulls, and it is better to work in a more familiar environment. And a team like Leicester City is not a good choice, last season's championship has consumed everyone's passion and win**, and no one can knead these players who only want to make money without a big change, and returning to the ordinary before winning the championship is the most ideal ending for this team that has created miracles.

Since there is no better option for the time being, you can only stay in Turin and continue to work hard, or wait for the next great opportunity to add to your success. So after discussing with his parents and his girlfriend Lin Yuna in Asia in the evening, Li Mudi agreed to reach a contract renewal intention with the Red Bull. With some small details to be further refined, the official signing ceremony will not take place until after this weekend, and the Torino boss is tired of endless ruffling and is finally relieved.
