The difference of one point is too small, considering that there will be a second derby between the two sides in the penultimate round that will go head-to-head, and that Juventus will have the advantage of being at home, which makes the situation very unfavorable for Torino.

If they are to retain the initiative to win the league title, Torino must put in a perfect performance, otherwise they will repeat the mistakes of Napoli last season and become a stepping stone for their rivals to complete their eighth consecutive title, and at the same time turn their own long-term lead into a laughing stock for the outside world.

It's easier said than done. A brief analysis leads to the conclusion that the Red Bulls can either pull the points difference back to four points or more before the 36th derby on May 12, or they can maintain the advantage of the current point and not lose to Juventus on the road, as long as they can do one of the two, the Serie A title will be secured.

But either of these two points can be said to be a great challenge, and the reason is the same: the Bianconeri are too strong!

Since being held to a draw by Lazio in the 22nd round, the seven-time league winner has maintained a winning record for the next two full months, which is really terrifying.

Not to mention the double defeat of Valencia in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, it is remarkable to look at the seven consecutive wins in Serie A that allowed Juventus to narrow the gap with their city rivals to just one step. Although the winning streak may not seem particularly impressive, the opponents in it have greatly enhanced their performance at this stage.

In particular, the away win over third-placed Inter Milan, the home win over Roma and the away win over AC Milan all showed that after the winter break, they had regained their former dominance over the entire Apennine Peninsula, making all opponents feel irresistible.

Comparing the results of the Torino team in the same period, this situation is even more illustrative. In the last seven rounds of the league, Li Mudi led the team to achieve a record of 5 wins and 2 draws, with an average of nearly 2.43 points per round, and more than 92 points in the 38th round, which is only twice failed to win the Serie A championship in the past ten years, which can be said to be very good. But even if the Red Bulls have played such a state, they are still forced to such a critical point by the other side, which can prove how desperate Juventus's strength is.

It's just that in the face of the media's mouth of the "most powerful Bianconeri team in the past fifteen years", Li Mudi was not intimidated, if he still had a sense of gain and loss when he had a large lead before, then when the opponent was already chasing after him at the moment, his mentality could be relaxed.

Just like in a running sport, when you leave your opponents far behind, even if you finish first, you won't be able to create a good result, and those world records are always born in the fierce competition. (except, of course, in a few cases where the talent and dominance are extremely strong) after Juventus narrowed the gap between the two sides to the minimum level, it only aroused the Torino manager's strong fighting spirit, and at the same time removed all the distractions that had arisen from his mind.

What made him even more relieved and excited was that he also saw in the eyes of the players the determination to hold down the old woman and hold the league championship trophy in his hands.

It's just that when he said in response to reporters' questions at the pre-match press conference of the 30th round of Serie A against Chievo in the 30th round of Serie A on April 3 that he was still confident of becoming the final winner, he was unanimously ridiculed by the outside world, and some website media couldn't wait to issue reports, evaluating Li Mudi's performance as "dead duck with a hard mouth".

However, it should not be said that the views of the media are too biased, because Juventus have the strength to play there, and they have hidden at least half of their main players in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool in midweek. But even so, they still won a 3-0 away game, beating Genoa, who is not bad this season, to the ground and helpless.

With the win, the Bianconeri moved to the top of the table with a two-point advantage over the lead and threw the pressure on their city rivals.

According to the analysis of many so-called experts, under such heavy pressure from the Serie A hegemon, it is difficult for the Torino team to say how long they will be able to hold on, especially before the derby, they also have to play away against AC Milan, who have just hired Conte and immediately rebounded in results, and at home to Napoli, who have never won before.

Others gave the Red Bulls a great compliment in a praising tone, believing that even if they couldn't stop Juventus' eight-game title, Li Muddy and his team deserved everyone's hat-to-hat tribute. Thanks to the excellent performances in the previous months, the team has basically locked up the second place in the league this season, which is also a very remarkable result.

In the "La Repubblica" issue on Monday morning, there was such an article, which praised Li Mudi for attaching importance to youth training, making a number of value-added transfer transactions, and making bold innovations in tactics since Li Mudi took over the Torino team, and it seems that the Red Bulls cannot survive the impact of Juventus, and have begun to enter the rhythm of the end-of-season summary in advance. However, from their words, people can feel that this is more like a staged commendation for Li Mudi, whose original contract is about to expire but has not been confirmed to renew it for a long time, which reveals a little judgment on his future whereabouts.

In fact, as early as last winter, there were reports of the Torino manager's contract problems in Italian football, but the club at that time continued to break the fake news that the two sides were stepping up negotiations on a new contract and the renewal work was going well, so that the enthusiasm at that time quickly dissipated.

It's just that with the retirement of time, the season has entered the final sprint stage, but the news of Li Mudi's contract renewal with the Torino team has not been announced for a long time, and reporters with a keen sense of smell have discovered the truth of the matter. Even more well-informed people have accurately linked the Red Bulls' upcoming plans for a new stadium with the departure of the coach after his contract expired, and have written a number of reports that have made the outside world suddenly realize.

It is tempting for many teams to sign this promising young coach for free, so in late March and early April, with only a quarter to go before the preparation period for next season, it is easy for those who follow the sports sector to find that more and more English club names are starting to be associated with Li Moody. Rumours of him leaving Italy for the Premier League this summer have been widely circulated, and at one point it has even made headlines in major media outlets.

As for why they are all English teams, the reason is easy to guess, the Torino coach has mentioned more than once before that in order to show respect for his parent club Real Madrid, he will not coach other La Liga teams, so the world's first league (only from the European standings) has completely missed him. Because even if the Galaxy Battleship still failed to climb the mountain of Barcelona in the league, Lafayette has not shown any intention of firing Lopetegui at present, and even if it is to change the coach, it seems that the young Li Muddy has not yet entered the vision of the football tycoon.

The Bundesliga and Ligue 1, the two "oligarchic" leagues, can make the Celestial Empire only four teams attractive to the Celestial Empire: Bayern, Dort, Paris and Monaco, three of which are almost certain not to change managers this summer, and only Paris Saint-Germain is the only variable. But as long as Tuchel, who has only been in charge for a year, can lead the team to the last four of the Champions League, equalling the best record in the club's history in the competition, there is no reason why the club's hierarchy should not give him more time to prove his quality, so the possibility of a change of manager by the top local tycoon in Ligue 1 is not very likely.

As for the Italian league, Li Mudi, who left the Torino team, will naturally not deign to the team whose strength is too different from his old club, but among several strong teams, in addition to Juventus, who have a certain chance of changing the head coach due to Allegri's contract renewal issue, Inter, Napoli and Roma are also very stable, resulting in almost no possibility for him to stay in the Apennine Peninsula to continue to lead the team.

Then the remaining options are obvious, only those Premier League teams that are not bad for money can attract Li Mudi to join with the two advantages of controlling the transfer power and deep pockets, and this prediction is indeed very realistic.

As of the first Sunday in April, Ginés had received initial offers from as many as seven Premier League teams, including established powerhouses whose results did not meet the goals of the top management at the start of the season, some mid-table teams aiming to top the table, and two so-called underdogs who were eager to establish themselves in the Premier League.

However, the case was put on hold because they did not want these matters to interfere with the current plans to challenge for the Serie A title, but it is clear that the Torino boss is open to taking over a new team.

And in such an adverse environment where there is tremendous pressure from strong opponents and rumors of the head coach's imminent departure are flying, as the coach said before the game, the Red Bulls players still showed their determination to win the championship. They beat Chievo by two goals on their home turf with a one-and-a-half-rotation line-up, ousting Juventus, who had just been in the lead for less than 24 hours and had not yet sat on their buttocks.

This is one of only two league games of the season, so teams will need to prepare more than ever, at least Torino will have to take into account the fitness and fitness of their players, as their opponents will be more difficult to play against at the weekend.

On April 7, in the 31st round of the league, Li Muddy led the team to visit the San Siro Stadium to challenge AC Milan, which had a record of 2 wins and 1 draw after the change of coach and rekindled the hope of competing for a European place.

Turin have hardly changed anything from the four-goal win at home six months ago, with the exception of the fact that they were not as dominant in the table as they were then, and the departure of Musis in the squad to join Lucas Moura, who was the starting centre-back at the time, Ranocchia, was unable to play due to injury.

However, the Rossoneri were a different story, trading Juventus young centre-back Caldara through a trade for Leonardo Bonucci during the winter break and signing Torino right-back Bruno Perez on loan from Roma, with no significant drop in quality at the back. However, Higuain, who joined the team on loan and attached a mandatory buyout deal last summer, but missed the last meeting between the two teams due to injury, finally regained the form of the former Serie A top scorer under the tutelage of new coach Antonio Conte, scoring five goals in the last three league games, pushing AC Milan's attacking strength to the league's first-class level.

Therefore, this strong dialogue has attracted the attention of the entire Italian football circle before the game, and everyone wants to know whether Conte, who returns to his home league, will be the key factor that led to the complete reversal of the fate of the Torino duo, considering his own Juventus attributes and the excellent form of the home team recently, the probability of such a situation should still be not small.

However, after 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the Bianconeri supporters were disappointed. Although Higuain took advantage of a goalmouth outflank opportunity to beat his old teammate Casillas at the beginning of the second half to make the score 1-1, Immobile's low shot from a tight angle in the 69th minute helped the Red Bulls take away the most important three points from the San Siro, and also allowed Juventus, who finished and won the game, to continue to miss the expected summit by one point.

Three days later, in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals, Torino, who also did not use all their main players, returned home to beat the visiting Inter Milan 1-0, and although similar to the Champions League quarter-finals, this score will put a lot of pressure on the team's second leg away from home, but at least it is a solid step towards advancing to the final.

At the weekend, under the pressure of the city's rivals finishing the game early and temporarily overtaking the points, the Torino team defeated the "ally" Parma 3-0 away from home, suppressing the arrogance of the city's rivals who tried to fight back for the third consecutive week.

However, the Old Lady has won a staggering ten consecutive Serie A games after beating strong rivals Napoli in this round, and they have no big difficulty in the final six rounds of the league, except for the remaining Turin derby, the rest of the opponents are in the top 10 of the table, and it is very likely that the winning streak will continue.

Lee's side will face the Dolphins, who have not won since their arrival in Italian football, next weekend, and the situation is clearly extremely unfavorable for the Red Bulls, and the league title may be in the first place to be seen in this round.
