Regardless of how much reliable things were in the pre-match remarks of both sides, everyone still saw something different from the starting list announced in advance.

As for the home team, Li Mudi still did not change the formation as predicted by the media, but continued to use the 3-5-2 position that has been shown as full value in the FM system, but made small adjustments in terms of personnel.

According to the original plan, the starting three centre-backs were supposed to start Glick, Ranocchia and Caneman, but in midweek away to Moscow. Although the Torino team lost in the Champions League match, the French teenager Isadep played a world-class defensive goal, and continued this good form into the weekend. So considering that Ranocchia is only a mediocre competitive standard, Li Mudi changed his previous plan extremely boldly and put the young man who is not yet 22 years old in the starting list, which further boosted Diop's morale and made him show a trend of bursting form.

In addition, Bruno Fernandes, who plays as a central midfielder, will also be given more defensive duties, and he will increase his range of movement, often dropping back to the central midfield position to help his team-mates Vukocevic and Barceli defend, which will be a big test of his fitness.

On the Juventus side, Allegri did not dare to be careless away from home, although he had always adhered to the principle of fair play and rotated the two goalkeepers Szczesny and Perrin, but on such a crucial occasion today and in many previous strong conversations, the more experienced Polish international was still sent to the field. And given the goalkeeper's age and consistent high stability, Perrin's prospects at Juventus are not too optimistic, and I wonder if he occasionally regretted turning down an invitation from Torino while sitting on the bench, after all, Casey has decided to leave Europe in the summer of 2019, and he has an advantage over Savic Jr. in the race for the new main goalkeeper of the Red Bulls.

In the 4-3-3off formation (i.e. a drag midfielder), except for left-back Alex Sandro who was not able to play due to injury and was replaced by Desiglio, the rest of the positions were regular main players. It is worth mentioning that German international Emre Can, who joined on a free transfer from Liverpool in the summer, was unexpectedly unable to find his place quickly at the Allianz Stadium in Juventus, and has not been able to get playing time in many recent games, which has caused a lot of controversy.

Just looking at the old lady in the central midfield position with Pjanic, Matuidi, Bentancur, Khedira, Sturaro and Marchicio as reserves, the rest of the team has to feel a deep sense of envy. In order to target the rapid attacking tactics of the Torino team, Uncle Shu, who has always attached importance to the organizational ability of the midfield, actually sent two defensive midfielders Matuidi and Sturaro today, which shows how cautious he is.

However, thanks to the presence of Dybala and Pjanic, their organisational skills can still be guaranteed. Especially after Allegri pushed Cristiano Ronaldo to the center forward position, Dybala, who became more flexible in his position, blurred his role in many games, and he was not limited to the winger position, he was actually a free man in the front court, bringing a lot of diverse changes to the team's tactics.

Playing as a left winger, Douglas Costa is one of the few players in world football today who can combine speed and technique to a very high level, and his role at Juventus is similar to that of a healthy Bale at Real Madrid.

The strength of such a super eleven combination is naturally self-evident, and it also occupied the initiative on the field without suspense in the opening stage of the game. Even if Allegri's tactics are not too much to demand possession, because the first 20 minutes of the first half of the Torino team have been relatively large, so the experienced Juventus players will not deliberately avoid the strategy of more possession, although the effect of attacking the position will always be unsatisfactory, but at least reduce the number of counterattacks of the home team, so that their goal is always in a safe state.

On the player side, Ronaldo was still very quick to get into the game, and he tested his former teammate or rival Casillas with his trademark long-range shot less than two minutes into the game, and then showed his still superhuman bounce in the process of scrambling for a corner, and beat Glick to top a powerful header on the back of the net. Unfortunately, those two attempts to find the back of the net were fruitless, and the legendary goalkeeper of the former Real Madrid and Spanish national teams was also in excellent form today, with two wonderful saves to block the opposition top star's desire to score.

It's just that when the Portuguese superstar wanted to continue to challenge Cassie, he found that he suddenly lost his accustomed rhythm and became more and more uncomfortable. And the reason for this effect turned out to be the French teenager Isa Diop, who often stood on his way to the door, which made the president very angry.

Although he was praised by the Juventus team doctor for a 20-year-old body when he joined the Serie A overlord for a physical examination in the summer, Ronaldo's absolute speed and explosiveness have decreased significantly compared to the peak of the year. Of course, even so, he is still a fast horse, but at least he is no longer like back then, so that defenders can only chase after him. So when he habitually retreated to the two ribs and cut inside with the ball to the home team's goal, the young Diop could keep up, and with the assistance of his teammates, he repeatedly forced the president to give up this simple and direct style of play, and had to hand the ball to his teammates.

However, it is a well-known fact that Ronaldo, who has lost the advantage of impact, will be at least three to four percent less powerful in positional battles, which is also the defensive strategy that many teams have adopted when facing him before. In last season's Champions League, Bayern Munich and Liverpool both tried to limit his performance with this trick, but ultimately failed due to luck and the performance of other Real Madrid players.

But now when Li Mudi sacrifices this defensive style again, he has reaped very good results. One is because Torino's formation allows for more strength in defence, and the other is because Juve don't have another centre-forward on the pitch who can cover his teammates in the box.

Previously, world football has been using Benzema's ability to waste opportunities as a stalk, constantly ridiculing, but it turns out that Zizu's insistence at the beginning is not unreasonable. Losing the stupid horse who can contain the opponent's central defender, has a good personal attacking ability, and occasionally has a flash of inspiration, when Costa and Dybala are unable to stand in the opponent's penalty area, Ronaldo will frequently fall into the opponent's multi-layered defense system and play extremely difficult, similar to the situation of the Portuguese national team in the World Cup in Russia without a serious center forward.

Speaking of which, some people may have some doubts, because if the president can attract more defensive attention, then the other Juventus players will not be able to get more room to move, just like Real Madrid last season, and it is not necessary for Ronaldo's goal to win.

Douglas Costa's strength is definitely stronger than Guedes, Dybala is even more than Bernardo Silva's existence, Juventus's offensive line is naturally far stronger than the Portuguese national team, and it is not inferior compared to the previous Galaxy Battleship, how can the Torino team's goal be stable?

Then it is necessary to mention the weakness of the president (and perhaps the only flaw in him), which is the temper that is easily impatient. His thirst for goals is perhaps the strongest of any player Li Mudi has come into contact with, and in his illustrious career so far, although there have been many assists, Ronaldo has made himself the final finisher in most cases. Especially after he is no longer his friend Kaka and Benzema, the goals in his heart often appear to be out of the charts.

When he wants to score or more, there is often no one else in his sights, and there is only one goal: to kick the goal! And when he fails to do so, then there will inevitably be small emotions, and if it is not relieved in a short time, the angry president will appear.

If he runs to a good position and his teammates don't pass the ball, then the Death Glare will be staged; When the ball is cut off by a defender or a mistake is made by the opponent's defense, the sense of confrontation with the defender will increase. These can seriously interfere with his judgment on the pitch and cause a lot of problems for the team.

And today, it is the day when he is determined to achieve a victory, his super self-esteem does not allow him to join the new club, not only do not continue to make the team dominate in the domestic league, but also lag behind the city rival by a large point difference, this result is absolutely intolerable for Ronaldo.

Although Juventus signed him, mainly to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, winning eight consecutive titles in Serie A is also a basic part of the plan, and it has long been regarded as a bag by Juventus, and it is never allowed to sail in the gutter in this regard.

And after a hot start to the season, Ronaldo's goalscoring luck has been on a downward trend in the last two or three weeks, and apart from scoring a penalty, he hasn't started for a long time. Although he still leads the league scorer charts, the gap has been narrowed to three goals by Icardi, and the advantage is no longer obvious.

So whatever the reason, the Portuguese superstar has a reason to win, but after a series of small moves arranged by the opposing manager, the team's victory gradually equates to his own goal in his mind. Although the most basic reason as a professional player is that he will not deliberately fail to cooperate with his teammates, he has indeed given less thought to creating opportunities for his teammates when he thinks he has a chance to get up and hit the goal.

As a result, six of the eight shots taken by the visitors in the first half came from Cristiano Ronaldo, and at least half of them were completed on not very good chances. This also directly led to the fact that Juve, who had an absolute advantage in possession, failed to create too much threat to Casillas, and the score of 0-0 at half-time was naturally attributed to the excellent defense of the Torino team, but Ronaldo also played a role in helping many times because of his obsession with the choice of individual attacks.

However, the old and spicy Allegri naturally will not understand the situation on the field, he did not wait any longer, before the start of the second half, he replaced Costa with Mandzukic because Ronaldo continued to pull to the left side and lost his most accustomed position, the Croatian striker can not only act as a bridgehead in the penalty area, but also pull to the side to form a containment, if it were not for the fact that he is over 32 and a half years old, the state began to move downhill, with his performance in Juventus and the national team in the past two years, There is definitely a qualification to qualify for the top strikers in the world.

With Manjoo's assistance, Ronaldo finally regained his previous feeling of partnering with Benzema in Spain, and after the restart, he rushed into the dangerous area of the box with a ghostly run, and almost knocked on the goal of Casey with a scramble before Glick cleared the ball. Unfortunately, he lacked a bit of luck and the ball struck the outside of the post after being poked between the Torino goalkeepers, flying off the line and unfortunately missing the goal.

However, this attack still showed that Juve's firepower seemed to be ready to go all out, and they formed a siege on the home team's goal in the following quarter of an hour, and the two masters of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mandzukic no longer played too much of the routine inserted in the back row, frequently haunting dangerous areas inside and outside the penalty area, or receiving teammates, or completing the goal-grabbing goal, and the Torino team's defense was scattered.

In the increasingly unfavorable situation, Li Mudi boldly commanded his players to speed up the ball after successful defense, and Immobile and Belotti, who "pretended" to be dead for half the game, finally got the opportunity to show their abilities. With the help of Fernandes, who spared no effort to run hard in front and back, and the wingbacks on both sides, they played two counterattacks in succession, and created a handball in the penalty area by Benatia in the 63rd minute, but the referee determined that it was an unconscious act and refused to award a penalty, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the home team fans at the scene.

However, four minutes later, when Glick, who was hit by the opposing attackers at the defensive end, took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to knock on Szczesny's goal, all the previous grievances were not a problem. The goal also changed the dynamics of the game, and Juventus had to fight for a tie as soon as possible, otherwise the final result was likely to be unacceptable to them.

However, when the two full-backs who had not been active in the front line also put more energy into the front, substitute Andre Gomez sent a long pass from 40 meters away in a counterattack that was called "incomparably wonderful" by TV commentator Andrea Pirlo, helping Immobile who had successfully fought offside to score a very easy one-on-one goal, and completely put the victory into the pocket of the Red Bulls.

In the penultimate minute of normal time, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been tirelessly pursuing goals, finally got his wish, scoring his sixteenth league goal of the season with a wonderful curling kick, but could not help the team close the gap on the leaders.

A 2-1 win for Torino extended the gap between them and their city-rivals and biggest rivals to a staggering eight points.

This night, the throne of the city of Turin seems to have changed hands!
