The home team players on the field ran to the side of the goal-scorer Cerci, laughing and hugging, high-fived, touching his head, and all kinds of celebrations.

However, a one-goal lead is far from a guarantee, and with five or six minutes of stoppage time remaining, it would be enough for the opponent to equalise if they can find a good chance. So without waiting for the referee to intervene, they restrained their joy and jogged back to their own half, waiting for the restart.

Li Mudi also instructed Zampacosta, who had stayed in the backfield, to tell all the players on the field not to be conservative, and to use the attack to suppress the opponent's possible fighting blows, so as to reduce the pressure on his own backline to the greatest extent.

Sure enough, Sampdoria tried to press hard and tried their luck in the final minutes to get a draw. However, the first attempt was disrupted by Barreca and turned into a counter-attack by Torino, but Farke's powerful shot from the edge of the box went over the bar again and missed a good chance to seal the win once and for all. However, this also achieved the goal of containing the away team's midfielders, so that the opponent no longer dared to invest too many troops in the attack.

The Red Bulls, who had an absolute advantage in the midfield area, took the opportunity to firmly grasp the ball at their feet, and several overall scrambles organized by the away team did not produce results, coupled with physical problems, so that before the game was over, Samp's players basically gave up resistance.

In the end, Torino won 1-0 at their home stadium, the club's number two rivals, and although the process was not good, and the score was the lowest winning indicator, the team showed the resilience of a strong team. Playing a bad game and winning a game is something that only teams of Juventus and Chelsea levels can often do, and Lee's side look like they've reached that level.

Before leaving, the managers of both teams shook hands at the entrance of the players' tunnel, and Gianpaolo, although he looked bad because of the loss, still graciously congratulated the Torino manager. At the press conference after the game, he praised Li Mudi, who has been controversial since he came to Italian football, and believed that the people of the Celestial Empire are good at dealing with different types of opponents, and their tactics are always changeable and flexible. He also has a set of teaching, and he is a rare compound coach talent.

He then took out the statistics of the game, and analyzed the above numbers to show everyone how much the Torino team is aimed at Sampdoria in other aspects except for the shooting link.

'Despite the poor results in the previous three league games, we averaged 52 per cent possession and 14 shots per game, but today those numbers were 37 per cent and 5 respectively, which is completely suppressed. The team's best tactics of attacking the middle and quick counter-attacking tactics were almost completely choked, and only one chance was given to Schick in the whole game, and it was missed due to bad luck. If you look at the pass success rate and steal success rate, all of them are at least 30% lower than our normal level, and I even had a feeling during the game that the opposing players are very familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of each of our players and have been playing in the most uncomfortable way for us, which is terrible! ”

In the face of the doubts of some reporters below, Gianpaolo also explained: "Maybe it was a delusion, but the way the opponent played the game did hit the sore spot of our players, if it wasn't for the serious problem with their crosshairs today, God knows what the score would have been?" It's a very difficult thing to do, and it takes a lot of time and effort from the manager and the coaching staff to gather information and analyse it, which I can't help but admire from the bottom of my heart, and proves that Torino's current results are not shit luck as some have claimed, and they deserve to be rewarded for this position. ”

When Lee Moody brought Benasi, Cherci and Ranocchia into the media room shortly after and sat in the interview seats, he learned from reporters about the Samp manager's praise and showed a clear smile. In the ensuing Q&A session, he also sang praises to Jamboro, believing that although the old sailors have been in a bit of a slump recently, the head coach has been very successful in transforming the team. In addition to establishing an early mid-table record, new stars such as Schick and Lucas Torreira have also been produced, and the revival of the team is just around the corner.

Despite the help of the FM system's meticulous statistics and analysis, the Torino coach has been busy studying and researching the work of combining games with reality, and he has done no less than any other manager to do so. Now being recognized by another colleague, especially from a club rival, made him feel doubly happy, and the smile didn't disappear from his face all night.

As if this weekend really had been a lucky day for Limdy, most of the results after that went in favour of the Red Bulls, bringing them one step closer to Europa League qualification.

In the first of the main games played at the same time as the battle of Du-San, Juventus took the initiative after equalising the score at the beginning of the second half, and completed the comeback in the 83rd minute, Alves received a long diagonal cross from Pjanic on the left and flew to the top at the back post. However, the tenacious Atlantans redeemed themselves at the last minute, and Freuler's left-footed shot from seven yards was saved by Buffon before slotting into the net to make it 2-2.

The hard-won draw saw Gasparini's side three points clear of Torino and will have to work harder for their remaining four games to finish in the top five and avoid Europa League qualification in sixth place.

Less than half an hour after the two matches on the Italian side, there was also good news from Madrid, Real Madrid were almost held to a 1-1 draw by Valencia after dominating the home field. Fortunately, Zizou's metaphysics came into full play again, and Marcelo's miraculous right-footed volley in the 86th minute saved Ronaldo and the entire team who missed a penalty, and the Galaxy Battleship also continued to maintain a slight lead over Barcelona with the same score but one game less.

Sunday's eight Serie A games were even more surprising, as AC Milan met Crotone, who are now desperate for points and relegation, with a 1-1 scoreline that disappointed both sides. The former is still 5 points behind Atalanta after the game, considering the strength of the opponents between the two sides in this round, they failed to close the gap even if the Rossoneri lost another small step; A draw was also a bit painless for Pythagoras, who were four points behind Empoli before the game, but fortunately, the Azzurri were also not competitive in this round, losing 1-3 at home to a desperate Sassuolo, which narrowed the points gap between the two relegation teams to a one-goal gap.

Palermo, who were previously ranked second from bottom and had been basically sentenced to death, were like lucky fruits in this round, with only 24% possession and only two shots on target in the whole game, they won 2-0 at home to Fiorentina, causing a big upset. This game not only announced that the Purple Lilies were basically out of European qualification, but also made Palermo's points rise to 19 points, 8 points and 5 points away from Empoli and Crotone in front of them.

The final kick-off was played at home to Inter Milan against Napoli, where the two sides were largely evenly matched for 90 minutes, neither of them was able to completely suppress the opponent, and the pace of the game was not fast, with the 1-of-7 and 1-of-8 shooting stats disappointing the neutral fans. But the White Dolphins still seized an unexpected opportunity to win the game, in the 43rd minute, Insigne crossed diagonally from the left to the penalty area, Yuto Nagatomo made a mistake at the back point, and Callejon volleyed into the far corner from a tight angle 6 meters in front of the goal. The camera immediately showed Zhang Jindong in the stands, and Chairman Su Ning's grim expression made the outside world think about it.

The Nerazzurri did not find much success in their subsequent comebacks, eventually finishing the double this season, with Stefano Pioli's side having a dismal record of just two draws and four defeats in their last six league games, and basically saying goodbye to next season's European competition. If we want to make a comeback, we can only hope to see how Spalletti will perform next season when he takes over the coach, and the board will have to invest a lot of money in the coming summer.

The seventh-ninth teams in the table have failed to win, which has taken a lot of pressure off the teams in front of them and made the situation of the European competition that has lasted for half a season gradually clear.

In another Rome derby, the Red Wolves at home suffered a 3-1 defeat to the Blue Eagles, avenging a 2-0 defeat in the first round. The result left Mihajlovic's side one point clear of Torino and ahead of Atalanta in the race for fifth place, and they have a chance at the Coppa Italia final on 18 May, with a win securing a place in the Europa League.

The defeat of Roma is feeling the pressure again, and they are only one point ahead of third-placed Napoli, who will need to play a play-off round although they can both play in the Champions League in second and third places. The Red Wolves lost to Porto this season and don't want to experience a similar nightmare again, so the battle for second place in the league will be interesting.

However, the Torino team, which looks to be in good shape at the moment, cannot be taken lightly, and next weekend is the second leg of the Torino derby of the season, and it is also the home of the Old Lady. Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two teams, it is indeed a bit difficult to get out of the way. And once the Red Bulls lose away, I am afraid that they will be caught up or even surpassed by the two competitors behind them.

The final round of the Europa League play-offs will take place in mid-August, just in the two weeks leading up to and following the first round of the league, putting extra physical pressure on the team at the start of Serie A. And the teams that can enter that stage are not weak teams, in case the signing luck is worse, and the teams in the other five major leagues are drawn, they are likely to be eliminated directly, and the economic loss is at least tens of millions of euros. So when conditions permit, everyone is reluctant to be squeezed into sixth place to play two life-or-death play-offs.

Considering that Lazio will be sixth in the league if they win the Coppa Italia, it means that the fifth place can only play in the play-offs, so the Torino teams will be so eager for the fourth position. Even when you are basically in the top six, you have to do your best to deal with every opponent.

There is only one positive news for Li Mudi and his team, and Juventus will travel to Monaco in midweek for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final. The reason why the old woman, who is no longer satisfied with dominating dominantly, uncharacteristically bought stars such as Higuain and Pjanic last summer is to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

In previous seasons, they only reached the final in the summer of 2015, only to be beaten by Barcelona, and last year they were very ugly by Bayern Munich out of the quarter-finals. Therefore, even against the young Monaco, Allegri will never make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and will definitely send all the main players on the field.

Add to that the fatigue of the away game and their current huge advantage in the league, and Lee feels Juventus will have an unknown degree of rotation for the weekend's derby, and this is the chance for Torino. After four straight defeats against the Serie A giants, the Red Bulls are likely to have the moment to change that bad record.

To this end, the Torino boss has already begun to prepare two sets of tactical designs, one to deal with the opponent's main team, and the other to be used by Allegri when he sends out a mixed line-up. As for the full substitution, the chances of it happening are slim, and even if the players are too tired, Juventus will not accept the reality of losing to their local rivals, so they will hardly take such a risk and put all their starters on the bench. However, it turned out later that the Juventus coach was far more daring than Li Moody imagined, or this was also the performance of the opponent who simply did not look down on the Torino coach and his players.

Although it is two sets of tactics, and there is a lot of emphasis, because it is uncertain that the other party will send the main force in those positions, the workload of Li Mudi and the members of the coaching staff is still quite large. It is necessary to assume various situations, such as whether the forward, midfield or backline is rotated, before it can be targeted. After two consecutive days of meetings, I felt that it was better for Juventus to send the main force to deal with it, and this uncertainty was too embarrassing.

Fortunately, Li Mudi also has a killer feature - FM system, as long as you check the physical condition of the opposing players after the Champions League game, you can roughly guess who will be able to play on the weekend. With only three days between the two games and Juventus coming back from the away side, it was difficult for the players to recover much energy in such a short period of time. Therefore, it is completely possible to make a more accurate judgment through the situation on Wednesday night, which will leave more than two days of preparation time for the Torino team, which should be enough.
