Saturday's training session was mainly a tactical drill and an analysis of the highlights of Napoli's recent games, which did not have a major impact on the fitness of the players. At noon, Li Mudi did not go to the cafeteria to eat as usual, but was driven by Forsina to the airport to pick up people.

This Sunday is the annual Mother's Day, and because the team is going to play, he can't return to Mallorca to do his filial piety at the old man's knees, so he invites his mother to fly to Turin for two days to express his heart. Because there were a few old colleagues from the Celestial Empire on the farm, the father of the Turin coach stayed there and did not come with him.

This is the first time in Li Mudi's mother has taken a plane alone in her life, and she has been accompanied by her husband or son before, because she can only speak a few words of Spanish, and she is a traditional woman born in the fifties and sixties of the Celestial Empire, which is a little timid to foreigners, so the Turin coach is not very relieved. Fortunately, Spain and Italy are so close that even if there is no direct connection from Barcelona, it will only take five hours, which is still acceptable.

After seeing his mother follow the flow of people out of the station, the Turin coach can be regarded as letting go of the heart he has been carrying, but before he can say hello, his mother asks about the condition of the boil on his face in a slightly anxious tone. Even when he learned that he had been to the hospital to see him, he still kept talking about paying attention to protection, which made Li Mudi, who was already in his thirties, both moved and a little helpless. After that, the three of them found a small restaurant on the way back to the city and quickly settled a lunch. The Torino coach was then sent back to the club's residence, where he was to continue the afternoon of team training, while Li's mother returned to the apartment to rest.

But it's a coincidence, it's just night on the Kimchi Country side, and Lin Yuna, who followed the crew back to Seoul, has finished her day's work and returned to her Girls' Generation's apartment. Because Li's mother hadn't seen her prospective daughter-in-law for a long time, Li Mudi made an appointment with his girlfriend to make a video connection during this time period, so that the prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could have a good exchange. With this arrangement, I believe that the mother should be able to eliminate the tension and fatigue of taking the plane relatively quickly.

After the afternoon's tactical analysis and practice, it was only time for tomorrow's warm-up, acclimatization and afternoon game, and the Torino coach was interviewed for 10 minutes outside the stadium gate before rushing back to his apartment.

Considering her mother's physical condition, Li Mudi originally planned to take her to Milan City to enjoy a feast of the Celestial Empire, but Li's mother, who had been frugal all her life, rejected the proposal. After chatting with Lin Yun'er for about 20 minutes in the afternoon, she asked Forsina to drive to the supermarket, bought a lot of ingredients, and spent more than an hour to make a home-cooked meal of four dishes and one soup, which allowed her son to once again enjoy what he considered the best food since he was a child.

And the next two games on the tee off also brought additional good news for this wonderful night. Lazio were defeated at the Stade Franky in a very close match, and Mihajlovic hid the likes of Immobile and Biglia for next week's Coppa Italia final. The Blues collapsed midway through the second half with a one-goal lead, and were conceded three goals in nine minutes by the Purple Lily, culminating in an own goal from 21-year-old striker Lombardi. Even if midfielder Murgia scored another goal in the final moments, it could not prevent a 2-3 defeat.

After losing this game, Lazio is stuck at 68 points, and as long as Torino can beat Napoli, they can rise to the fourth place in the table by two points, but this is naturally quite difficult. However, even if the Red Bulls lost, they still had the hope of overpowering the Blue Hawks in the future, so I really want to thank Paulo Sousa and his team.

In the evening, when Atalanta were equalised by the Kaiser's 87th-minute goal at their home stadium, Li Moody was in a good mood as if his body was flying. Poseidon's Sons, who have only one point, are currently two points behind Torino with one game in hand, and the initiative is still in the hands of the Red Bulls.

The results of these two games are a big gift package for the Torino boss, driving away most of the depression and worries that have been accumulated in his heart for a whole week, and he can have a relatively good attitude to face Sunday's game.

The next morning, the Turin Olympic Stadium ushered in the two teams between nine and ten o'clock in turn, and the coaches of the two sides also happily exchanged two sentences about the possibility of communicating with each other's players, which was photographed by the Italian paparazzi with super candid shooting ability, and there was speculation on the Internet that Belotti might join the White Dolphins in the summer.

However, in the middle of the day, Napoli's Albanian right-back Hisaj directly denied the fake news in an interview, praising his team-mate Mertens and saying that the Belgian international is better than Belotti.

And this statement naturally caused heated discussions, and the fans on both sides began to have a series of tearing X battles, saying that from the number of goals can prove who is the stronger striker, there is a retort that from the perspective of the ability to assist teammates and tandem teams, the halfway striker who has only scored five goals is better.

After praising the two super shooters who have ushered in an explosion this season, they sent it away with a sentence of "they are not the same type of players, so there is no way to compare which is better or worse", which disappointed the crowd who were waiting to see the excitement.

Judging from the starting line-up announced before the game, Maurizio Sarri arrived in Torino with the belief that he would not give up without taking the three points, and Napoli used all the main players. The goalkeeper is Reina, and Senegal's big black Takoulibaly, who was suspended for yellow cards in the last game, returned in time to form a central defender partnership with Real Madrid's old Albiol. In midfield, Brazilian Alain and Jorginho, who was born in Brazil but was naturalized in Italy, partnered in central midfield, and Hamsik played as a free man in the front, going up as a forward midfielder, and dropping back to be a central midfielder. On the two flanks stood two fast horses, Callejon and Insigne, and at the top was Mertens.

Torino, on the other hand, made a slight change to the formation, with the back four still the usual Zampacosta, Ranocchia, Rosettini and Barreca, and some changes in midfield, with Baseli and Las Diarra forming a central midfield partnership and Benassi standing up front. On the left side of the two flanks was Boye, who had started three games in a row, and on the right was Jesus, who had returned from injury, and Farke was put on the bench, leaving the central striker with no choice but Berotti.

Li Mudi's change has made the formation of the two teams almost a perfect mirror mode, and even the use of key cores seems to be the same. This has led to a lot of interest in the matchup, who wants to see who can prevail in the two managers who have been in the limelight this season when the tactical routines are likely to overlap highly.

However, after the official start of the game, the situation was a bit one-sided, and Napoli, who dominated the game, took advantage of the player's stronger individual ability, mastered possession from the beginning, and then launched a series of attacks on the home team's goal.

100 seconds after kick-off, Insigne successfully ate Zampacosta one-on-one, then cut inside into the penalty area, and kicked a close slash that seemed to be a pass and shot straight to the goal, Joe Hart, who fell to the ground, and Mertens, who followed up in the middle, did not touch the ball and went out of the far end.

A minute later, Callejon was back in action on the right, linking up with Hamsik twice in quick succession before cutting straight to the bottom line and then slotting the ball down the middle. Mertens and Ranocchia battled for the ball at the front post but both missed the spot, with the ball hitting Rossettini's head behind them and bouncing towards his own goal. Due to the speed of the ball, Ingla did not react at all, and could only watch the ball fly out of the bottom line by grazing the upper edge of the crossbar, which almost turned into an own goal, and the passive header that almost turned into an own goal scared the home team into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, in the subsequent corner kick defense, the Torino players were very focused and did not leave any chances for the opponent, which was the first time that they controlled the ball at their feet. However, their attack was also unthreatening, and Boyer's through ball was easily intercepted by the opposition, and the home team went into defensive situation again. Benassi also fell straight back to the left side of Russ and used a three-centre-back configuration to counter the visitors' short pass penetration.

The passing ability of the Napoli players is perhaps the best in all of Serie A, and even centre-backs Kalidou Koulibaly and Albiol have repeatedly shown their ability to fall and find opportunities under Maurizio Sarri's tactical system. In the fifth minute, the defensive duo teamed up with Jorginho, using concise running and passing to easily disrupt the high post scramble of Belotti and others, making the small tricks designed by Li Mudi useless.

But on the other hand, in the face of the sudden crazy siege of the away team's frontcourt players, the Torino team's defenders looked so thrilling with the help of two central midfielders who are known for their organizational skills.

And it was by taking advantage of this gap in ability that the White Dolphins almost rewrote the score in the seventh minute. Brazilian Allan was on the edge of the halfway line after receiving Kalidou Koulibaly's cross and dribbling the ball forward. After a slight change of direction to flick off Benathy's break and then draw Russ up to intercept it, he sent a penetrating through ball with the outside of his right foot to Callejon, who started just in time.

The former Real Madrid winger caught up with the ball just a few steps and fired a right-footed volley into the far corner from just outside the six-yard box. Luckily, Ranocchia was able to catch up in time and interfere with the former's shot, as the ball quickly drilled past Joe Hart's crotch and hit the post behind him.

Before the fans could express their inner sighs, the visitors were about to send a sideline ball, and after Allan's cross was pushed out of the box by Ranocchia, Hamsik carried Larass's interference and fired directly and vigorously from a distance, slightly off the right post, and the White Dolphins' attack was really wave after wave, making the Turin team a little breathless.

Seeing that the situation was a little critical, Li Mudi hurriedly came to the sidelines and instructed his players to do a good job of controlling the ball in the middle and backfield first, and control the ball at their feet as much as possible, so that the opponent would lose the high-speed rhythm after this nature. On the offensive end, it is up to the opposition two full-backs to press too far back and there is a lot of space left behind, especially the previously very active left-back Gulam, and Jesse and Belotti can do something in the area behind the Algerian international.

This tactic paid off for more than 10 minutes, as Jesse received a through ball from Barcelona in the 10th minute and sent in a low cross, but Belotti couldn't shake the body of the big black Takoulibaly, and reluctantly turned and fired wide of the woodwork. Five minutes later, he took advantage of the gap and fired a wide cut in, but he was still heavily distracted by the defence and deflected off the near post a lot.

However, Maurizio Sarri's response was also timely, and after seeing that his team's left side had two chances to get off the ground in a row, he signaled Ghulam to cut back on the number of assists and instead shifted the focus of his attack to the other side. Hisayi was also a good full-back, and it was a successful tackle against Boyer that gave the visitors the chance to close the back of the scoring. He ran forward as soon as he got up, and after receiving a ball from Gézhinho, he made a feint to burst down the middle, and then sent a brilliant through ball with his left foot.

Callejon's clever lateral run made a small gap before he cut straight into the box and calmly dunked the ball to his left before Ranocchia fell to the ground to get a touch of the ball. Then there was a one-on-one chance to face the goalkeeper on the right side of the 10 meters in front of the goal, but Callejon, who looked a little unlucky today, actually kicked this difficult left-footed push shot wide, and the ball almost grazed the left post and flew out of the bottom line, and Napoli once again missed the golden opportunity to take the lead.

Although this did not go in, everyone could see that Maurizio Sarri's team had formed a great pressure on the Red Bulls on both offensive and defensive ends, and if they continued to play like this, goals seemed inevitable. And the Turin team, which was restrained by the other party in every position, wanted to get rid of the fate of being slaughtered, it depended on whether Li Mudi had any tricks to press the bottom of the box.
