Li Mudi, who is temporarily aware of the poaching of Baseli, has really entered a very busy state on Friday. Not only did they have to seize the time to hold a meeting with the staff of the marketing department to discuss the various pros and cons of the transfer of several players and the results of their operation, but also took time to listen to the training report brought by the assistant coach, and finally had to accept the invitation of the club president.

Although there is a certain amount of alcohol, Li Mudi still often drinks white wine and beer when he lives in the Celestial Empire, and he is not familiar with Western red wine, so he doesn't know how much stamina this thing with a spicy taste can be so great. In addition, because of some differences in the concept of team building, the Torino coach, who was already a little unhappy because of the transfer of players, was a little excited in the exchange with Urbano Cairo, and unconsciously drank a few more sips. Fortunately, Forsina didn't feel anything on the way back to the apartment by car, and after entering the house and saying a few words to his mother about the second elder leaving Italy in two days, Li Mudi began to be a little confused, and the drunken state was obvious.

When Li's mother found out, she hurriedly got up and rushed to the kitchen to make a cup of honey water and let her son take it, and the complaints in her mouth naturally did not stop during the whole process. However, after Li Mudi drank the hangover drink in a daze, his sense of hearing had basically been lost, and he used his remaining reason to return directly to the bedroom with the support of Li's father, and began to snor when he got on the bed. Not only did he not wash, but also because the two old men couldn't move his 160 pounds of fat, they didn't even take off their clothes, so they slept until dawn.

Due to this unexpected drunkenness, the habit of waking up at four or five o'clock was completely disrupted, and it was not until Forcina, who came to pick him up for work, found that if he didn't wake up his boss, the latter would be late, and the Torino coach was forcibly summoned. Although he was extremely reluctant to get up because of a headache, he was still awake a lot in an instant when he heard that it was already half past eight, and he didn't care about his rumbling stomach, so he took a shower as fast as he could, brushed his teeth, and hurried to the club in the car with his hair that didn't have time to dry it thoroughly.

Today at 12:30 noon, the Red Bulls will welcome the 20th round of the league against Bologna at home, which is also the last game before the so-called winter break. The head coach missed the pre-game meeting because he had drunk too much the night before, which would have been a lot of fun if the media had known about it.

Of course, judging from the ability of the Italian media who are not paparazzi but are better than paparazzi, combined with last night's dinner with the chairman of the club and today's extraordinary "whistle check-in", I believe that the inside story of the matter will also be speculated, and it is almost certain that Li Mudi will become a hot figure on the Internet in the next few hours.

Leaving aside what will happen after that, let's turn the camera to the meeting room of the Turin club. Li Mudi, who forcibly wanted to put himself into a working state, naturally failed to completely get his wish, and the headache that was not too serious still interfered with his thinking, so he did not say much at the meeting, and handed over the main work to other members of the coaching staff. However, the good news is that today's opponents are not strong, the FM system shows that their form is not very good, and the tactical arrangements for the opponent have been almost arranged in the first two days of training, so the Torino coach feels that his lack of appearance should not have any negative impact.

While the players went to the cafeteria to replenish their abilities before the game, Li Mudi seized the time to learn about the two league matchups that had ended last night, and also got a good news. The news of Chievo's 1-1 draw with Udinese was naturally unnoticed, but the second game was a belated New Year's gift for all teams aiming to win the title or qualify for Europe. Fiorentina sat at the Stadio Frankie and had to fall into passivity when Icardi seized the opportunity to counter-attack when they dominated the game. Fortunately, the Purple Lily players, who had no way out, did not give up, and with their miserable efficiency of hitting the target only 4 times from 23 shots in the whole game, they scored the equalizer in the first minute of injury time in the second half.

The draw not only extended Spalletti's side's embarrassing five-game winless run (three draws, two defeats), but also shattered the dreams of Inter fans who were still immersed in strong title hopes a month ago. However, they unexpectedly fell into a trough, but it also gave Torino a good opportunity to compete for the top three, which can still bring a certain increase to the players' on-field performance.

The opening game of the remaining eight games on Saturday is the clash between the two teams, and before kick-off, rumours that the home team's manager was drunk and almost missed the morning meeting and may not even be in the dugout began to spread wildly on the Internet. However, before those who saw it unpleasantly and were ready to take advantage of the trend began to take action, this off-the-field anecdote was directly swiped by a shocking transfer news from abroad on the ten pages of the information columns of major forums, so that Li Mudi was lucky to avoid a small twist.

At 12 noon on the 1st and 6th London time, "Sky Sports England", "Liverpool Echo", "The Times" and other British media and the personal Twitter of a number of well-known football journalists in the country updated a player transfer news almost at the same time, they said that Coutinho's transfer to Barcelona has been completed, and the transfer fee is 160 million euros (equivalent to 142 million pounds), and it is speculated that Coutinho is on a flight to Barcelona at the moment. Immediately, this news was reprinted by sports media all over the world, and it also attracted the attention and discussion enthusiasm of many football fans.

Although he has played for Inter Milan and performed very well in Liverpool in the past two seasons, the reason why the Brazilian striker, who is not yet a top superstar, has received so much attention is mainly because of the high transfer fee. If the media reports do not make a big mistake, he will surpass the second-highest value in the world (105 million euros plus floating clause, a total of 150 million euros) set by Dembele when he moved to Barcelona last summer, and become the second highest value after Neymar.

Fifteen minutes later, Spanish "Le Monde Sport", "As", "Daily Sport" and other media began to issue more detailed reports, saying that Coutinho will sign a five-year contract with La Liga giants, and Barcelona will pay a fixed transfer fee of 120 million euros plus a floating clause of 40 million euros, and the official announcement of the official signing is expected to be announced after the player undergoes a medical examination.

Although he had prepared before, Li Mudi was still very shocked when this deal of up to 160 million was really reached. You must know that in 2003, Arsenal smashed iron and sold iron, and it took three years to build, and the total actual cost was less than 600 million euros. That is to say, the price of Coutinho is enough to build a five-star stadium with more than 60,000 seats and an annual income of nearly 100 million pounds.

After the successful finalization of this deal, the top three in the current world football player transfer value list have been swept by Barcelona FC, although the first Neymar was sold to Grand Paris, but for a time it also made this traditional powerhouse become unparalleled, and the momentum is close to the style of a superstar a year in the Galaxy Battleship period. Compared with the big spendings of their sworn enemies, Real Madrid continued to "play dead", announcing early through official channels that the team would not make squad changes this winter, much to the disappointment of supporters who originally expected them to change their previous bad form.

However, no matter how big a wave Coutinho's transfer news can make, it doesn't have much practical significance for the shy red bulls. Although according to the normal law, Liverpool, which has lost the core of the midfield, should use the huge amount of money at hand to bring in a replacement, but Uncle Scum's 4-3-3 formation does not need a full-time forward midfielder, and the combination of the front trident Salah, Firmino and Mane has been completely formed, even if there is no problem in adding new signings. Considering that the Reds had just spent close to 80 million to buy central defender Virgil van Dijk, and that the powerful newcomers were almost unable to represent their new clubs in European competitions, Li Mudi could no longer make a fortune from Rajjdzic as he did when he dealt with Rajadzic last summer, and it was a pity to think about it.

Fortunately, the whistle sounded in time for the start of the game, which did not let the Torino coach fall into excessive regret. In this matchup, Bologna, who were playing away, knew that they were inferior in terms of strength, so they took the initiative to choose the tactics of defensive counterattack. Donadoni made changes to the usual 4-3-3 formation, allowing the two wingers to recycle into wing-backs, with the intention of strengthening the midfield's ability to scramble and suppress the opposition's attacking organization, leaving only Destro as a striker up front to use the speed advantage to counter-attack.

On the home team's side, Li Mudi's current hangover state has not completely disappeared, but after adjustment, it is basically no big problem, and the starting list and tactical arrangements were decided as early as yesterday afternoon, so he does not have much work before an emergency on the field. In a 4-3-3 position, Casillas was finally allowed to return, and of the main players who started in the midweek win over Roma, only Immobile and Farke continued to start, and the rest of the positions were rotated, and Barceli, who was caught up in transfer rumours, also appeared calmly in the central midfield position.

After the opening kick-off, the visitors' retreat allowed the Torino players to take possession of the ball in central midfield, but they didn't look like they had much to offer against the opposition's bucket formation. Belotti's absence through injury deprived the Red Bulls of an important fulcrum in the heart of the penalty area, and although the two wings were able to occasionally deliver crosses, Immobile failed to fight for a landing point under Costa Rican centre-back Giacalo Gonzalez and Sweden's new international Filip Holland, both of whom are more than 1.86 meters tall. Moreover, the Bologna players also pay great attention to the scramble in the danger zone, and do not easily give the home team the opportunity to send set-pieces, so that the latter's several defenders with excellent header ability can not come up to compete for the top, and the Torino team, which has lost air dominance, can only find a way to attack on the ground.

Although Benassi did not play, Baseli's ability was evident in the early stages of the game, and with the help of his midfield duo of Vukocevic and Fabas, he began to create possible mistakes for the visitors by changing the pace of his passes and manoeuvring the opposition defence in a wide area. Although it didn't get particularly good results in a short period of time, the possession rate of more than 70% and the fact that Bologna's players were always in a desperate situation still made all the home team supporters not worry about the arrival of the goal.

However, just as the number of shots on goal began to increase and Farke hit the woodwork with a cold shot, and the moment when the score was rewritten, the game changed when 21-year-old home starting right-back Dickman had to leave the pitch early after he accidentally sprained his ankle while facing Chilean midfielder Erik Pulga. In the 34th minute, Silvestri, who played the whole game in the cup, had to save the game temporarily, but no one expected that the right-back, who opened the scoring for the Red Bulls in the game against Roma, was not known for his attacking ability in the early stage of his career, scored again, and turned into a "bottle opener" for two consecutive games.

In the 38th minute, Barcelona shifted widely, Falke broke down the right and cleverly fell to the ground under the bag of two opposing players, winning a well-placed set-piece for the home team. Barceli lobbled the ball into the visitors' penalty area, and Silvestri, who had just played less than 200 seconds, leaped high in the middle and shook his head to make it 1-0.

As soon as the goal was scored, the situation on the field immediately reversed, and the home team, which was no longer eager to attack, began to stabilize, and refused to give up the ball easily without a good opportunity, pushing their possession rate to an astonishing 75% in one fell swoop. The Bologna team, which was unwilling to lose, naturally wanted to resist, but they were afraid of the opponent's plan to lure the snake out of the hole, so they were in a relatively chaotic state for a while, not knowing whether to attack with all their strength or continue to put the bus on. This lack of alignment allowed Torino to seize the opportunity and extend their lead before the break.

In the 43rd minute, the visitors attacked a positional attack and possessed the ball for a long time, causing the back line to misjudge the situation and press forward in an attempt to help their teammates in front. But at that moment, Febas suddenly slid the ball past Poli's feet and Barceli brilliantly sent the ball behind the visitors' defence. Immobile, who had been cruising beside Bologna's two centre-backs, immediately countered offside and inserted the ball to form a one-on-one trend. Facing the best scorer in Italian football at the moment, the visiting goalkeeper Mirante abandoned the goal, but was caught off guard by the home team's No.10's sudden push on the line of the penalty area, and failed to make an effective save, allowing the ball to crash into the goal behind him, and the score became 2-0.
