After the match against Ludogorets, the coaches and teams of the Torino team who came to the away team returned to the hotel to rest as planned, with the exception of head coach Li Mudi. Because it was the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Celestial Empire, he desperately wanted to stay with his family during the most important festival of the year, so he booked an early flight back to Italy and rushed to the airport at midnight. However, transportation in Bulgaria is obviously not as convenient as in the developed countries of Europe, and during this time, the Torino coach had to choose to transfer in Paris, and returned home after seven hours of turbulence in the air. But even so, he never tires of it.

When he arrived at Turin's Caselle airport, it was already half past five in the morning (minus the jet lag), but when he saw the two nephews who had come to pick him up with Forsina, Li Mudi forgot all his tiredness and smiled happily. This year's Spring Festival, the eldest sister, the second sister and the third cousin of the two uncles' families all came to Europe for the New Year, although the old people did not want to suffer from the journey due to physical reasons and stayed in the country, but the arrival of these nine relatives still made the Turin coach and his family feel the atmosphere of relatives getting together to spend the festive season together when they were children.

Li Mudi, who returned home and rested for two or three hours, woke up holding his little nephew who was not yet one year old, watching the "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner Production Team" with the second brother-in-law as the core processing various ingredients, the sisters and sisters-in-law were pulling Lin Yuner to constantly chat about topics related to dressing up, and the two older nephews followed the eldest brother-in-law to busy pasting Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters, as well as putting the traditional Spring Festival jewelry brought from China in the right place, and their hearts were full of warmth, relaxation and happiness. Since he got the adventure and became a traverser, maybe today's scene is the kind of day he has been striving for.

The original Chinese power in Turin was not strong, and compared to the number and influence, it is obvious that Milan and Rome are the main concentrations of Chinese in Italy. But with the arrival of Li Mudi, the ancient city has also been "renewed", and the increasing number of Chinese who have come here to travel, work and even settle here has had a huge impact on the thinking and practical actions of both the official institutions and the general public on how to accept these outsiders who will bring great benefits to the original inhabitants. The commercial districts and restaurants in the city have sprung up with many signs in the Celestial Empire language to facilitate the consumption of Chinese people; The Celestial Empire language class has always been extremely popular, and more and more businessmen are able to say a few simple greetings casually, of course, the most proficient must be the pronunciation of numbers, which is needed when bargaining.

The Torino Football Club has also opened the training ground of the youth team to the outside world in the past two days, so that ordinary people can have the opportunity to stand on the professional pitch and enjoy the fun of playing football, which is naturally under the banner of celebrating the New Year of the Celestial Empire, if it is not for the very important derby in three days, I believe that President Urbano Cairo will definitely dare to open the Olympic Stadium together. According to the forecast data issued by the relevant Italian authorities two days ago, this week, it is expected that more than 80,000 Tianchao tourists will come to Italy for vacation, and more than half of them will stay in Turin for more than a day, which will bring more than one million euros of economic benefits to the city, and the red bull obviously wants to get a piece of the pie.

Even Li Mudi's two older nephews did not resist the temptation to play football in a world-class football stadium, and begged their uncle to lead them to the club's residence, and after half an hour of professional but not hard training, they had a half-time confrontation with other children, and had a good time. However, the only regret for the Torino coach is that he learned from other coaches that neither of the two lads has any talent for football, and it is estimated that they will only take up the sport as a hobby in the future. Although he had known this situation for many years, and the children were too old to enter the professional field, he always had the idea that there might be accidents, but unfortunately his dreams were shattered.

It seems that if you want to personally train a qualified professional player, you can only pin your hopes on the youngest little guy, or the child you may have in the future, but it is still full of unknowns, which makes people feel helpless when they think about it!

Due to the huge time difference between Europe and Asia, the idea of synchronizing the New Year is obviously unrealistic, so Li Mudi's family decided to follow the time in Italy, after all, the huge change in the biological clock is a little too painful for children. As for the chicken-ribbed Spring Festival Gala, it's good to watch the full video recording on the Internet, and it doesn't affect the effect at all, anyway, it's all boring and full of slots, if it weren't for the fact that Li's father and mother have developed a habit, it is estimated that the younger generation of people will not pay special attention to it.

Europe was originally resolutely forbidden for this kind of highly polluting things, but due to the rapid development of the Celestial Empire and the increasing magnanimity of the Chinese people, foreign countries will naturally not be as unsympathetic as before. Chinatowns in the United States and some important European countries are the first to make an exception to allow Chinese people to set off fireworks during the Spring Festival, but there are strict regulations on product quality to minimize air pollution. Italy is one of the few countries with fewer restrictions on firecrackers, and they even set off their own firecrackers on New Year's Day, so from noon on Chinese New Year's Eve, a faint sound of firecrackers can be heard outside. But generally speaking, the peak time is still at night, because today is not an official holiday in Western countries, so the Chinese who settle here do not have time to celebrate the festival during the day.

The new year is coming to everyone, but after waking up the next morning, Li Mudi is most concerned about the news about football, because the weekend league is really imminent.

With four Champions League quarter-final first-leg matchups and sixteen Europa League first-round knockout leg first-leg meetings coming to an end, the Italian side has had mixed emotions and predictions have become the hottest topic in the sports media. In the Champions League, Roma's match will be played next Wednesday, so only Juventus will be in Serie A the day before. However, they failed to show the style of last season's runners-up in the competition, as they were held 2-2 at home to Tottenham, who have shone in European competition this year, a result that made the Old Lady's second leg at White Hart Lane three weeks later look incredibly difficult. A draw is acceptable, but the two home goals conceded are likely to be a key factor in the final outcome, and it seems likely that the Bianconeri's Big Ears Cup dream will be postponed to next season once again.

In sharp contrast to the weakness of the Italian team, the strong rise of the Premier League teams, in addition to the excellent performance of Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool won away from home respectively, with the scores of 4-0 and 5-0 also allowing them to lock in the quarterfinals in advance, the momentum is very pressing! In another key matchup, Real Madrid defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 at the Bernabeu with Cristiano Ronaldo's brace, showing the world their confidence in winning the Champions League three times in a row. Zizou seems to have opened his mind during this time, and finally began to reuse young talents such as Mbappe and Asensio, which also gave the team a strong squad depth in the ranking lineup, and at the same time activated the state of the original core players. Although the league is already ten points behind arch-rival Barcelona and almost has no chance to defend the title, there are still some opportunities in the Champions League, and this game shows the strength of the Galaxy Battleship and lays a good foundation for advancing to the next round.

In the Europa League, the results of the Serie A teams are also mixed, except for the Torino team who can ensure an easy entry into the round of 16, the rest of the teams are mediocre, and all three games ended in defeat, but considering the two-legged home and away system, there is still a certain possibility of promotion. Atalanta, who have seen a decline in the league this season, have been in good form in Europe, beating Lyon and Everton in the group stage to win the top spot, but their luck was very sad, and they were drawn from the Champions League in the first round of the knockout round. However, Gasperini's side showed their resilience as they withstood the pressure at the Devil's Stadium West** and lost the first leg 3-2 and did not fall behind in the race for promotion.

In a similar situation to the Poseidon's Sons, Lazio were lucky enough to draw the Bucharest star, who is not well-known in today's European football, after a smooth group stage, and were originally favored by the outside world to take their opponents lightly. But in the Romanian capital, the 1985-85 side, who beat Barcelona to win the country's only Champions League title in their history, overwhelmed a formidable rival from the Apennines to win the Blues by a single goal. However, the score was acceptable for Simeone Inzaghi, who still had a full 90 minutes to go back to their home stadium and had a very good chance of a comeback.

Only Napoli's performance has been unanimously criticized by the media, and the Serie A leaders who are playing at home have been pressed to the ground by the German team RB Leipzig, and the score of 1-3 directly announced that the White Dolphins have completely bid farewell to this season's European competition. The defeat was mainly due to the carelessness of the home team or the lack of attention, Sarri against the opponent who is currently in sixth place in the Bundesliga, hiding a lot of main players, only Hamsik and Callejon started the midfield, and the rest were substitutes, simply did not take the other side seriously, and was slapped in the face as a result.

Considering that Napoli's opponent in the weekend league is only promoted Maspahr, their strategic thinking seems very unreasonable, and the "Torino Sport" newspaper published an article to ridicule Maurizio Sarri's rotation and be generous, and Li Mudi has not played it well. However, the local media believe that it is better to be out of Europe so that they can devote all their energy to the competition for the league title, and this high level of lack of confidence also exposes the true state of the Napolins, and seems to have laid the groundwork for a possible collapse in the future.

As the weekend approached, the focus of media coverage also returned to the league-related topics, because of the Spring Festival and the reason for the team to go abroad to participate in the European League, the Torino coach, who left the stadium early last weekend, was finally blocked by a group of reporters waiting there at the gate of the club's residence after training on Friday afternoon. After seeing that he couldn't break out of the encirclement without answering a few questions, Li Mudi had to lower the window of the car next to him and accept a group visit under the maintenance of security personnel.

Udinese coach Odoro has been questioning referee Abiso since he suffered a misjudgment last Sunday, arguing that the team's defeat was entirely due to non-football reasons and hoping to get a fair account from the Football Association. And the goal that was blown off has been widely proven to be a wrong penalty after repeated research afterwards, no wonder the Italian Football Federation did not punish Odor when he openly criticized the referee's level of enforcement, obviously knowing that he was at a loss. However, this has also made the introduction of VAR technology in the league, whether it has achieved the desired effect, has become a hot topic in football, and many reporters want to get his opinion from the Torino manager.

"That ball should work? From the very basic rules of football, it is true, but all decisions on the football field are controlled by the referees, and we can only follow them unconditionally, which is what I learned from last week and last week. However, I can fully understand Mr. Otto's resentment, and the Torino team has suffered a lot of questionable penalties before, which is difficult for us to accept for a while. But football is like this, there are always all kinds of accidents, some are good for you, some are bad for your side, if you can't adapt in time, you can't move on, so let this thing that has become history really pass. ”

"VAR is an important hallmark of the integration of modern technology into football, and the first trial in the Bundesliga last season had excellent results, with a clear downward trend in the false error rate, which is why FIFA and UEFA are promoting it. But this thing is a new thing after all, and there are still many problems in the use of referees, such as the timeout is too long, whether the referee or the off-court referee has the final decision, whether to follow the NBA to set up a special agency to manage in a unified manner, etc., but this can be gradually found through a long time of exploration and experimentation. So I don't think there's any point in arguing about whether VAR should be used here, and it's better to focus on how to improve the professionalism of referees. ”

"A derby at the weekend? Naturally, I hope to reap the desired results. Torino don't have any idea of winning the league, and this year's situation is that Juventus and Napoli are competing for the top two teams, and the other teams have not yet had the strength to disrupt it. But the derby is obviously nothing to do with that, the Red Bulls' goal is to win, it was like that, it is now, it will be like this in the future, and for some people, winning this game is more exciting than winning the title. Excited and excited, I hope the results will not disappoint everyone. ”
