The day after the winter transfer window closed, the 20th round of Serie A officially began, which was also the opening match of the second half of the cycle.

Until then, the two teams that played in the UEFA Super Cup will have their respective rounds of 19 in midweek, and although both sides won, the polar opposite process has caused quite a stir.

As of now, the European standings in the standings are: Torino 48 points, Juventus 42 points, Inter Milan 41 points, Roma 40 points, Napoli 40 points, Lazio 36 points, Fiorentina 34 points.

Although for the performance of the defending champions, no one will be satisfied except their rivals. However, after strengthening the holes in the back line and welcoming back a number of main players who have returned from injury, the Serie A hegemon is still favored to complete a strong rebound.

No, in the first league game of 2019, Ronaldo used a hat trick to help the old lady beat Bologna 5-0 away, plus 4-0 at home in the first round last year, which really didn't give face to the former team legend Inzaghi. It's just that the amazing momentum shown by the Juventus generals in the game is very pleasing to all those who support them to win the championship, just from this matchup, the Bianconeri have indeed regained the momentum of God blocking and killing God and Buddha in the domestic league, and such a team is almost invincible.

And this kind of undisguised and direct pressure in front of the opponent will naturally make other teams feel a lot of pressure, even the Torino team, which has a six-point lead in their hands, is inevitably disturbed.

In the away face of Genoa, which is far inferior to his own strength, the Red Bulls, who discharged the entire starting lineup, almost lost points unexpectedly, but fortunately, Belotti scored a wonderful diving header in the 79th minute of the game, so that the Serie A leaders were able to retreat at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium and keep the difference in the first half of the league.

However, despite the victory, all the members of the Torino team did not relax after the game, and at this time, even Li Mudi, who had the heart to adjust everyone's psychological state again, did not have a good way.

Behind him is being chased by a fierce tiger, and he may pounce on him at any time to deliver a fatal blow, a feeling that no matter how strong-willed he is, he cannot calm down. He can only minimise the distractions of the players in other aspects of his day-to-day life, so that everyone can devote their full attention to preparation.

It's just that the tense and oppressive atmosphere has been hanging over the team for a long time, which is obviously an extremely bad situation, and I don't know when it will lead to a big collapse. This also shows that the Torino team and Li Mudi are still too young, although they have played some results, they are still far from reaching the level of the top teams in terms of self-confidence. If Juventus were in the lead, they would not care who was chasing behind them or how close they were, and would only be extremely determined to move towards the title, treating everything else as a floating cloud.

The current state of the Red Bulls naturally cannot escape the eyes of the media and insiders, and many of them have come forward to express their opinions in the following week, giving predictions that the top team will encounter a crisis and may suddenly collapse due to excessive pressure. For a while, Juventus supporters, who had been hidden everywhere, resurfaced and joined the ranks of advocating that Juventus would soon return to the top of the table and go all the way to win the eighth consecutive league title.

It's a bit chilling that two teams in the same city have both created glorious honors for the country, but now there is such a huge difference in the status of football and the hearts of the people.

But if you think about it carefully, there is still a certain truth in this, although there are Milan duo, Madrid duo and Manchester City duo such as the status of the same city rivals who are not much different or even almost equal, but the same city CP with a big gap between Barcelona and Espanyol, Bayern and Munich 1860 is the more common situation.

The Torino team has been reduced to a lift between Serie A and Serie B after the Supega air disaster, especially in the mid-90s of the last century, and naturally will not attract more new generation fans. It's just that although there is a precedent for Manchester City's rapid rise in a short period of time, its prestige and popularity have equaled Manchester United, but there is no consortium behind the Red Bulls that is not bad for money, and can rely on a large number of gold dollars to buy first-class stars to open the early stage, and can only rely on youth training to move forward steadily.

However, this method has taken a lot of time, and now that the head coach with the ability to discover young talents is about to leave and the club's president is building a new stadium, the plan to close the gap with Juventus in terms of status is likely to have to be interrupted early, which is a pity.

However, although they are at an absolute disadvantage in a series of aspects such as numbers, social status, and financial resources, the existing group of Red Bull fans will not be weaker than any fan group in the world in terms of passion and loyalty. When public opinion in domestic football is largely dominated by Juventus supporters, at least half of the city's residents are willing to stand up and express their support for their home team.

Around 2012, the Italian media once made a fan distribution statistics, Juventus is the most popular football team among local fans, accounting for about 30% of the share, followed by AC Milan, Inter Milan, Napoli and Roma, but they are all very different from the old lady, and the name of the Torino team does not appear in the top 10 (the list lists the top 10 names).

In terms of the number of fans in the city where the team belongs, the Bianconeri also beat the red bulls and became the most popular football club in Turin. At the end of the last century, this data was reversed. At that time, although the Torino team was a mess in terms of competitive results, almost permanent in the second division, due to the unique "ancestral" tradition of European fans, the more grassroots Red Bulls still had more local support, and a similar situation occurred with Manchester City and Atletico Madrid.

It's just that Juventus' achievements in the 21st century, especially in recent years, have finally broken with decades-old traditions and reversed the city's footballing attributes. However, in addition to the younger generation, who are more interested in the Serie A hegemony, among the older generation of ordinary fans, there is still more support for the Torino team.

In fact, most of Fiat's low-level employees actually don't like the team owned by the company they work for, and when Ronaldo joined Juventus with an annual salary of 100 million euros plus 30 million yuan last summer, these people also held protests, saying that they have not raised their salaries for many years, and the value created by the top management has been used to invest in team reinforcements, which has become a hot topic at the time.

Now, when these so-called urban low-level people see that the team they support is in trouble, they still stand up very strongly.

While the large number of adult fans who had to go to work during the weekday prevented them from taking action, there were hundreds of cheering teams, most of them elderly and women, outside the club's practice pitch during Friday's training session in Torino. They are all season ticket owners or family members of the team and have been contacted by the club in advance to be allowed to enter the residence, and Li believes that the arrival of the fans will bring an extra incentive to the players and may be able to change the current tension in the team.

According to director Castellazzi, the team faced Cagliari at home on the weekend, and the sales of live tickets were announced as early as the afternoon of this day, and many people went to the ticket office or tried to buy tickets through the Internet. This situation rarely happened in the previous games against weaker teams, which shows how high the support of the fans is for the Red Bulls.

Affected by the positive external environment, the psychological state of the Torino players finally recovered to an ideal level before the start of the game, and the confidence to win was still relatively sufficient, so there was no collapse as expected by the media.

In the end, cheered on by the 27,958 spectators, the Red Bulls easily defeated the visiting Sardinian capital team 4-1 thanks to goals from Immobile, Barella, Pellegri and Parrigini, ushering in a three-game winning streak after being held to a surprise draw by Bologna.

On the other hand, in the matchup that ended almost at the same time, Juventus, who were away from home, also successfully scored three points, keeping the difference between the two teams at 6 points, without the situation previously predicted.

It was only when the supporters of the Torino team began to gradually regain their confidence and dared to refute in public the claim that the Red Bulls would inevitably be overtaken by Juventus and even Inter, Li Muddy fell off the chain with his team.

On January 26, the Torino team, which was visiting the Frankie Stadium, suddenly felt like a collective power outage, and the whole game was lifeless. Even if the head coach made two substitutions in one go before the start of the second half, it could not change his team's terrible performance.

In the end, the league leaders reaped their second league defeat of the season against the Purple Lily, and it was a 3-0 defeat.

As for the specific details, the red bulls are also very ugly, Casillas was not only scored a wonderful upside-down golden hook by Chiesa Jr., but also received a penalty and red card package for knocking down Saponara in the penalty area, so that the team can only face ten men in the next 20 minutes, which can be described as a loss and a loss.

But the most worrying thing for the team is that Ranocchia also strained his right thigh muscle in the final moments of the game, and was diagnosed with a need to rest for at least a month and a half. All of this adds up to a hint of something bad about the team, as if the collapse of the team is imminent, as most media predicted.

However, another thing that people never expected was actually staged two hours after the end of the Buddha-Capital war. Juventus, who was sitting at home, failed to gnaw the hard bone of Lazio when they had an absolute advantage in the whole field. The 0-0 result left Allegri's players with a golden opportunity to close the gap to their city rivals to one game, and his supporters sighed.

Although the gap has changed from six points to five, it seems to be an improvement, but after missing this opportunity, no one knows when the next unexpected point loss will be for Torino. Don't look at the fierce shouts from the outside world, saying that Juventus will soon complete the overtake, but judging from the arrangement of the second half of the league, it is actually the Red Bulls who have more advantages.

Lee's side have more home advantage against some of the top of the table, such as Juventus, Milan, Roma, Napoli and Atalanta, which is in their favour.

Unlike the previous two or three years, the difference at the top of the table has not been widened, and after 22 rounds, the fifth-placed team is only eight points behind the leaders for the first time in nearly a decade. Juventus' poor performance in the first half of the game was due to the loss of their previous absolute dominance in such matchups in the strong dialogue, Inter Milan and many other teams have picked up points at the Bianconeri's home stadium, making more of the Old Lady's road trip in the second round a bit of suspense.

As for the Turin team, who escaped death, they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after learning the results of the sworn enemy in the same city. Although they suffered a heavy defeat, the final result was not so unacceptable, which still played a positive role in the mentality adjustment of the players.

No, just three days after the away defeat to Frankie Stadium, Li Muddy led the team to complete revenge on his home stadium. In the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, they relied on their good fortune in the previous draw to gain the advantage of playing on their home turf, and with another full crowd of fans, they eliminated Fiorentina 3-1 and advanced to the last four of the domestic cup for the second year in a row.

The rotation of the Torino coach and the average quality of their squad and the strength of the whole team were one of the important reasons why this game was relatively easy to win, and the opponent played two games in three consecutive games in three days with nine of the starting eleven, and in the second half hour of the game there was a clear lack of physical strength, and finally had to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.

A day later, the Torino team received another gift from heaven. Inter Milan eliminated Juventus, who had won four consecutive tournaments, 1-0 at home thanks to Mauro Icardi's goal in extra time, and met the Red Bulls in the semi-finals.

Although Spalletti's team is not an easy opponent to deal with, it is still slightly weaker than the old lady in terms of overall strength, and the former's promotion is a more ideal result for the Red Bulls, after all, it is really difficult to beat the Serie A overlord in consecutive home and away two-legged conversations.

Inter's promotion has made Li Mudi and the club's senior management see the hope of winning the Italian Cup, but the third-line battle is indeed too difficult for the team, how to choose, the club must come up with a charter as soon as possible.
