The fuss was made by Belotti, who returned from the national team and made his international debut in the 74th minute in the warm-up match against France in Bari on 1 September in place of Inter striker Eder. Unfortunately, the Azzurri were already 2-1 down when he came on the pitch, leaving him with little time to play, and in the 81st minute, France scored a third goal with a quick counter-attack by left wing-back Kurzava, and finally won 3-1 at home to Italy, giving the veteran coach Ventura a black start.

Red Bebe was a little unhappy that he was Italy's sixth player to come off the bench in the game and the last to play, so time was running out. The home side conceded their second goal in the 28th minute, just when they needed to step up their attack, but Eder was sleepwalking on the pitch and could have changed the end result if he had been introduced earlier. But this emotion did not reach the level of resentment, after all, the old man was the mentor who brought him to Turin, and now he had given him the first opportunity to serve the country, and it was too late to be grateful so that he would not be ungrateful. The reason for feeling a little depressed is that young players want their international debut to go well, winning is the foundation, it is better to score goals, and of course, if you can complete a hat-trick for the national team for the first time, it is definitely the perfect thing. This little depression completely disappeared after a good night's sleep, and it didn't matter at all.

But the negative mood came four days later, when Italy traveled to the Samiofo Stadium on September 5 for the first round of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in Group G of the European zone against Israel. Although they eventually won 3-1, it was not easy, especially when Eder disappeared from the pitch again, making it difficult for the Azzurri to attack up front. However, when Ventura finally decided to replace the Inter striker, the substitute he chose turned out to be Immobile, not Belotti. Although the Lazio centre-forward was a former team-mate and good friend of Red Bebe, it was definitely a major blow to him when he was abandoned by the manager at a crucial moment in the official game. To add insult to injury, Immobile scored his second goal after 16 appearances for his country after 13 minutes, adding a heavy weight to the manager's mind and almost announcing that the Torino striker would also be out of action in the next game.

So, Hongbeibei's classmates were depressed, really depressed, and they didn't recover their previous excitement until they returned to the club from the national team for two days. Seeing this, Li Mudi had to play the role of a confidant brother again, and invited the team's main striker to taste a celestial feast in private, and analyzed various situations for him during the banquet, and finally said: "As long as you perform well in the club, the position of the main force of the national team will definitely be in your pocket." "I finally fooled this young striker whose actual psychological maturity is far less than his appearance.

Before resting in the evening, the Torino coach couldn't help but belittle his predecessor in his heart. The Italian national team is now at a low point in the front, as I said before, Eder, Zaza and Gabiatini are unreliable, Pelle's girlfriend is so beautiful, sooner or later the body will be hollowed out, only Belotti and Immobile are the ideal forward partners. It just so happens that Ventura likes to play the tactic of playing two strikers, so he should establish the absolute main position of these two people as early as possible, and at the same time complete the replacement of the old and new in the midfield as soon as possible, so as to increase the chance of the main lineup running-in, so as to harvest a new team with combat effectiveness in Russia in two years. He shouldn't try to keep most of the veterans as he is now, and Spain in the past few years has been a lesson from the past. There is a wise saying in the Celestial Empire, called "If you don't break it, you can't stand it", if you can't make up your mind to tear down the old capital before, I'm afraid that the future road of the Blue Coats will be very difficult.

Because many important players in the team have been disturbed by the national team problems and their morale is a little low, Li Mudi has been using various methods to cheer everyone up in the next few days, encouraging them to work harder and have the courage to perform to the national team coach who is not optimistic about them for the time being, believing that his outstanding performance will definitely be able to impress the latter, so that his name will be written on the next national team squad.

Before you know it, it's the second weekend of September, and on Saturday night, the third round of Serie A matches will be played twice, with Juventus and Napoli taking the lead in the midweek Champions League matches. Not surprisingly, both teams took all three points, with the Old Lady winning 3-1 at home to Sassuolo and Napoli winning 3-0 away to win the first two rounds of the game at Palermo. Torino's away game against Atalanta is scheduled for Sunday at 15:00 p.m., along with a three-game match between Roma and AC Milan.

A month and a half later, Li Mudi led the Red Bulls to the Atleti Azzurri d'Italia Stadium, which in addition to being the home of Atalanta in the first division, was also used by Serie C side Albino Lefe, whose academy Belotti came from.

Poseidon's performance in the first two rounds of the league was a surprise, not too good, but terrible. In the first round, he played a tragic goal battle with Lazio at home, and lost 3-4; In this round of away challenges to Sampdoria, they once again failed to get points by 1-2 and one goal, allowing the opponent to win two consecutive victories and chase the old lady in the standings. Such a result is really a bit unsatisfactory for coach Gasperini, who has just been poached from Genoa, after all, he has a very good record in the past, and it seems to be a model of a successful coach.

Speaking of this commander, there is really a lot of need to be introduced. Born in 1958, he is about to enter the year of Ershun, and his mentality at this stage is naturally strong. At the age of 18, he was promoted from the academy to Juventus' senior team, but he was not able to establish himself there, and since then he has been a wanderer with several clubs, including Reggina, Palermo, Pescara and Salernitana. After retiring from the game in 1994, he returned to Turin and became the coach of Juventus' Under-18 team, where he continued to develop young players for a decade until 2003, when he was invited by Crotone, then in Serie C, to become a full-fledged manager.

Gasperini was promoted to Serie B in his first season in charge, finishing second in the league and finishing 15th and ninth in the next two seasons. In the summer of 06, Genoa, who had just been promoted to the second division, poached him, and the coach also lived up to expectations and led the Griffin Army, which had won nine Serie A championships, to be promoted to the Serie A league that season, creating a miracle that was not too small. On the other hand, Crotone was relegated back to Serie C this season, which was very miserable. After he left the team, the "Gasperini's Law", which had been at a low point for his old club, showed its power for the first time.

The 2008/09 season was the third season in charge of Genoa and the second year of the team's return to Serie A, where they surprised everyone by finishing fifth in the league and qualifying for the Europa League. In the 2009-10 season, because there was really no strength to fight on two fronts, the Europa League was unfortunately failed to qualify for the group by three points, and only finished ninth in the league. Unexpectedly, the team had a bad start, and took the initiative to fire the squid who added the coach at the beginning of November, and as a result, the Genoa results of the change of coach did not advance but retreated, and finally fell to tenth place, which also made the Italian football world have a lot of controversy about Gasperini's coaching ability.

In the summer of 2011, Inter Milan, who had won five consecutive Serie A titles, finally missed the first chance in Italian history to complete a six-game winning streak, and were crushed by their rivals AC Milan. After a peaceful termination of his contract with former Brazilian legend, former Rossoneri player and coach Leonardo (who took over the reins from Rafael Benitez on Christmas 2010), Moratti turned his attention to Gasperini and signed him on a 1+1 contract, which is not guaranteed for the second year. Just when the Italian media frantically boasted that the best coach in the country had joined forces with the best teams of previous years, they were slapped in the face by what happened next. Inter were beaten by local rivals AC Milan in the Italian Super Cup, then suffered a dismal record of one draw and two defeats in the league that started late due to labour disputes, and then lost at home to Turkey's Trabzonspor in the Champions League. And after the upset loss to promoted Manovara in the fourth round, the club announced the news of the resignation of the coach, only 88 days after it took office, this record was considered difficult to break, who knew that Frank de Boer would appear later!

In fact, Gasperini is also a little unlucky, Inter Milan lost the league title last season, but also lost the previous sharpness, morale is very low, and a number of major players have been injured and unable to play to their full strength. The second round of the league away to Palermo and the third round of the home game against Roma are very difficult schedules, in fact, he only made a major mistake in this game against Novara, and Inter's first round of home games against the underdog Lecce has been changed to December due to time constraints, otherwise this first victory would have been in hand, and he would not have to bear the title of "the first manager in the history of Inter Milan to be sacked without a victory".

Although only one point was obtained in the first three league games, it is not too much of a problem, as long as it can gradually get back on track, then even if there may be little hope of regaining the championship, it is still very possible to keep two and fight for three. However, after Inter Milan appointed Ranieri and Stramaccioni one after another, they only fixed the ranking at sixth place at the end of the season, and there was a full 26 points difference from Juventus at the top of the table, which shows that their downfall is not all the fault of the coach, and the pot cannot be carried by him alone. In the 2012/13 season, the Nerazzurri slipped to ninth place in the league, 108,000 miles away from European qualification. After losing Gasperini, Genoa became more and more sluggish, and in 2011-13, they were in 17th place in two consecutive seasons, and the power of "Gasperini's Law" must not be underestimated.

The coach who was fired by Inter Milan took over Palermo in September 2013 after a year of rest, although he tried his best, but still failed to organize the team's slump, and finally resigned voluntarily in the spring of the following year, and the team will also enter Serie B after the league.

At the end of September 2013, Genoa, which only won 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses at the beginning of the league, announced a quick change of coach and welcomed back the former meritorious coach Gasperini, and then got 1 win and 1 draw, and the effect was really immediate. Although the Griffons only finished thirteenth that season for various reasons, the team's progress was evident. Therefore, with the full trust of the club, the coach led the team to an excellent record of sixth place in the league next season, but unfortunately due to the stadium problem, it was not registered by the Italian Football Federation, so it failed to pass the qualification review of UEFA, and handed over the Europa League qualification to Sampdoria, who was seventh in the league.

Last season, due to the recovery of Milan's strength and the poaching of several important players of their own, Genoa's competitiveness was greatly reduced, and in the end they only won the 11th place in the league, which is really difficult to be satisfied. So, after the expiration of his last contract, Gasperini decisively left the seriously unmotivated Griffon Army and moved to the arms of Atalanta, who finished thirteenth in the league and had one point less than Genoa, causing quite a stir for a while. In the real world, at the end of the 16-17 season, Atalanta ended up in fourth place in the league with the best score of 72 points in the last 30 years, while Genoa only achieved 36 points.

In the face of such an extremely powerful opponent, Li Mudi naturally did not dare to be careless, and began to "retreat" three or four days in advance. After the afternoon training, he locked himself in the apartment and didn't come out for a single step, and his dinner was also solved by takeout, and even his agent Gines came from Spain to discuss important matters with him, and he temporarily pushed it aside to study the video of the Atalanta game. In addition, the scouting team also got some special tactics that the opponent practiced during training, and combined with the information given by the FM system, the Torino coach was determined to take all three points in the next game and further fight back against the doubts by defeating such a formidable opponent.
