With the second goal coming close to the end of regulation time, and the clean style of play on both sides (15 fouls by both teams combined), there were only about three minutes left before the end of the game after the celebrations by the Torino players. Fortunately, Rosstini still remembers the coach's pre-match advice, taking advantage of a repeated hesitation in the delivery of a set-piece and being handed a yellow card by the referee for delaying time, plus Akwa, who had applied for a yellow jewel card before being substituted in the 74th minute, Li Mudi's shuffling plan went extremely smoothly, and both of them would be suspended for the next round of matches for accumulating five yellow cards. Although the difficulty of this task is indeed a bit pediatric, the Torino coach is still a little worried before the matter is done, if someone accidentally gets sent off with a direct red card, it will be troublesome, but fortunately, the god of decline has no intention of being funny today.

Although looking at the final score is a complete victory, but in the actual data, it can be seen that the Torino team still has serious deficiencies in attacking ability, reaching a super high possession rate of 76% in the whole game, but only creating one more chance to attack the goal than the opponent, and also falling behind in hitting the target once, which is really outrageously low. With the exception of Belotti, who was barely on target, the rest of the players showed a lack of shooting ability when the defensive pressure exerted by the opponent was high, and Li Mudi had already made up his mind to focus on training them in the coming days, and the attacking coaches De Leo and Ronald De Boer, who bragged together in the small bar in the hotel, felt some chills in their bodies inexplicably.

Due to the early kick-off time, it was not yet 4 p.m. when everyone returned to the hotel, and there was still more free time, plus there was a broadcast of the Milan derby in the evening, so many people planned to get together to watch the game and then go to rest. Although Li Mudi also wanted to participate in it, but after finishing the live broadcast on Penguin an hour before the start of the game, the biological clock reminded him that it was time to wash and sleep, otherwise he would definitely remain groggy the next day, which would be a bit more than worth the loss, after all, watching the video and the replay provided by the FM system are the same. So with all the other people on their expressions of disbelief, their boss left a sentence of "It's time to sleep, if nothing big bothers me, I'll die", he went back to the room alone and hung up a Do Not Disturb sign, and it was really hard to find a second one for an Italian football person who was so indifferent to the Milan derby......

Of course, there is no such thing as a good night's sleep and a refreshed person after waking up, and some Li Mudi, who recognized the bed, after surviving the night in a state of confusion, still opened his eyes at about half past five in the morning due to strong habits. The first thing is naturally to call up the FM system to check the results of last night's game, a 2-2 score can definitely be regarded as a good compensation gift for him who has not been able to rest well, and even better is that the Roma team also suffered a defeat in Atalanta, which is simply a welfare package! After all 13 rounds of league games, the old lady is still on top of the table with 33 points, and the name of the second place has become the red bull, and 27 points have allowed him to surpass Roma and AC Milan after the ninth round to reach this dazzling position, but only one point ahead of the teams behind them, and there is no room for mistakes.

Another team that surprised the outside world was Atalanta, after the early stage of the league dismissal crisis, Gasperini finally showed the super ability that the Torino coach has been emphasizing, and in the last eight rounds of games, he has a record of 7 wins and 1 draw, including the defeat of strong teams such as Napoli, Inter Milan and Roma. This report card made Jia Shuai suddenly a big celebrity in the eyes of the Italian media, and he shared a quarter of the version with Li Mudi, and his popularity skyrocketed to the level of intercontinental, and finally turned over. It's just that the way the two people are treated is a little different, the local coach has received unanimous praise and praise, while the Celestial Empire has always received mixed reviews, but this is countless times better than almost all sunspots at the beginning.

However, after looking at the standings and only a small cool, Li Mudi began to think about what kind of negative impact this result would bring to the team. To be honest, the current strength of the Torino team is really not to the second level of the league, Li Mudi has been able to infer from the comparison given by the FM system based on experience before, and their true level should be between fourth and seventh, and if they are very lucky, they can also have some permission to kill one of Napoli and Roma, but if they want to have a double kill, they obviously think too much. In other words, the team's position will definitely fall, and it will not be a good thing to stabilize in the end. People are like this, the results are getting better and better, and everyone will continue to praise them, even if they are in the middle and back swimming; But if there are signs of regression, it will be full of resentment, and even the worst time is far beyond expectations, so Li Mudi has to prepare in advance for the psychological imbalance of the players and the media when the ranking falls.

According to the pre-plan, there are three teams that surpass the Torino team: Juventus, Roma and Napoli, which are the kind of existence that may be killed home and away, and some can only keep a draw at home; The next team is equal to the strength of the team, namely Milan, Lazio, Fiorentina and Atalanta, and Li Mudi believes that it is a situation where they can win at their respective home stadiums. According to this standard, Torino lost to Red and Black in the first thirteen rounds, away to Son of the Sea, home win Red Wolves, home win Total Lily, home draw Blue Eagle and away draw Blue Black, which is basically in line with the previous expectations, but then in the first round, that is, in the first nineteen rounds, it will also play at home against the rivals in the same city and away against the White Dolphins, these two games are not even confident enough to hold the draw, so if you want to keep your current position, the team must not lose too many points on the weak team and the middle and lower teams, Steady play is the foundation of a small ball club like the Red Bulls, and the next round against Chievo must not be lost!

After breakfast the next day, the members of the Torino team flew back to their turf and rushed to train in the afternoon, and the usual holiday was canceled for the reason that the players felt helpless, and the team boss had to miss a day on Wednesday, so they had to sacrifice everyone's rest time to make up for the lessons. Chievo's current results are really good, although the goals that should be lost except for the first round upset against Inter Milan have been lost, but the goals that should be won are also in the bag, and the record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses has also temporarily ranked them in the tenth place, which exceeded the expectations of the outside world. Although the attacking power of only one goal per game ranks fifth from the bottom of all teams, it is indeed surprising that the super defensive ability that also concedes only one goal per game is second only to Juventus who concede nine goals and Purple Lily, which has 12 goals.

However, last season, the Flying Donkey Army won the team's best record in the past decade with its ultra-low goal and goal conceding rate - ninth in Serie A, and the lowest ranking in the whole season was also 14th, never falling into the relegation zone, showing that the "old fritters" who have been in Serie A for many years know how to survive.

Current head coach Rolando Maran was a favourite of Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi as a player, dedicating nine seasons to Chievo as a centre-back, making 280 league appearances and scoring 11 goals. After retiring from the sport in 1997, Malan continued to work as a coach at his old club, where he served as an assistant coach to then-coach Andy Bardini. After gaining experience as manager of Brescia, Bari, Vicenza and Catania, he finally returned to Chievo in the summer of 2014 to take up the reins of his former club. Judging from the attribute values provided by the FM system, Malan is very good at communicating with the players, and the emphasis on both offensive and defensive ends is also very balanced, and he is indeed a difficult opponent.

Chievo, which has always been a small business, was also unable to avoid the impact of the financial crisis, and in 2015 the club borrowed a loan of 10 million euros from the bank (a figure that even Higuain could not buy an arm, and the gap between the rich and the poor in the Italian team can be imagined), and the repayment period was ten years, which is really miserable. In this summer's transfer window, the team was unable to make a major upgrade, and after the 38-year-old Pisari moved to Pescara on a free transfer, the 37-year-old veteran goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino (Stefano Sorrentino) was brought in from Palermo for free, which not only lowered the average age of the team by one drop, but also strengthened the strength, which is a real deal. In addition to the "renewal" of the goalkeeper, they only have one signing, 4 million euros to buy out the Democratic Congo winger Paul-José M'Poku (Paul-José M'Poku), who was on loan from Belgium's Standard Liege last season, and then loaned him to Greece's Panathinacs, and the buyout fee is still set at 4 million euros, which is completely incomprehensible to outsiders.

In addition to the high level of chemistry brought by the stability of the squad, Malan and Chievo rely on the team's main striker, Slovenian international Valter Birsa, the striker who was loaned to Torino for a season and then joined AC Milan, has excellent passing and receiving skills and long-range shooting and set-piece ability, and not only acted as an attacking playmaker in the team last season, but also played the role of an attacking finisher in key moments. With six goals and seven assists in 35 league appearances, creating 30 per cent of the team's goals, Chievo is a veritable absolute heart of Chievo. Li Mudi has long been determined to keep his veteran captain Vives, who has just recovered from injury, and if he succeeds, the pressure on Torino's defense will drop by more than one level, and they will be one step closer to victory.

At midnight on Tuesday, the Torino coach hurried to Madrid on a flight and then ran to Guti's room to rest until breakfast. The reason why I didn't go to my good friend Zizu's house is because Real Madrid is playing away from home in this round of the Champions League group stage, and last night at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon with Benzema's stunner in the 87th minute, reversed Sporting de Portugal, the previous Sporting Lisbon, 2-1, and qualified for the round of 16 one round ahead of schedule. Zizou and the Real Madrid players will return to Madrid this morning, and Li Mudi can't do such a misleading thing as the man coming to the door when he is not at home.

His answer test was scheduled to start at half past ten in the morning, but due to the difficulty and good preparation, he easily completed it after forty-five minutes, and walked out of the coach training base under the Spanish Football Federation. The coach of Turin, who was completely relaxed, had a simple meal with Zizou, Guti and Solari at noon, and after chatting about their respective situations in the recent period, he flew back to Turin again, in order to cater to the suitable broadcast time on the side of the Celestial Empire, the Red Bulls took the lead in this round of the league, kicking off at 15:30 local time on Saturday afternoon, and the team only had two days left to adjust.

Li Mudi continued to rotate in the game, with veteran centre-back Sergio Moretti and right-back Silvestri getting the chance to start, while Bruno Perez and Jesus, who had just recovered from injury, were given no less than 25 minutes of adaptation in the second half. Although most of the main players were present, the team's form looked very average, and they did not have a clear advantage against opponents who were eight places lower than them. On Chievo's side, the former Italian international central defenders with an average age of 35.5 years old Gambelli and Dario Dainelli (Dario Dainelli) have first-class heading ability, controlling more than eighty percent of the balls.

Thankfully, Spanish winger Farke looked like a god today, as he first met left wing-back Barreca's high curling cross in the 35th minute and headed the ball into the near corner at the back post to help the home side break the deadlock. The goal was too close for Sorrentino to save, and it was Falke's second header of the season, which was only 1.74 meters tall.

Three minutes later, the Spanish winger, after receiving Rajadzic's ball from the middle, kicked a beautiful curve of the full moon scimitar with his left foot from about five meters from the corner of the small box on the right side of the penalty area, and the ball flew into the net from the absolute dead corner of the top left corner of the goal after bypassing the hands of the Chievo goalkeeper. The goal could definitely be one of the contenders for the week, but with what looked like a close pair having a two-goal gap in the scoreline, Torino have to admit that their efficiency and luck are still slightly superior.
