Li Mudi came into contact with the football manager game very early, in the former computer room of the Internet café, when everyone was crazy about the red police, he played FSM97 alone and silently, although he was not very good at playing at that time.

But after having his own desktop, he became a loyal player of this type of game through the masterpiece CM4. In more than ten years of football manager game career, he used the most objects, in addition to Real Madrid, the teams in Serie A, Milan, Fiorentina, Roma, Napoli, Parma, only Juventus used the least, one is because the strength is too strong and there is no fun, and the other is that I don't like the old woman's style of play.

If you look at the classification of business gamers on the Internet, Li Mudi is a complete "poor in the last life" type, he rarely spends tens of millions of dollars to introduce superstars, and prefers to cultivate potential calves to grow into superstars, which is exactly the same as his business philosophy in reality.

And because the talented calves in the game are refreshed every year, except for a very few young players who have the strength of the king of the ball or who are particularly favored by themselves (such as names or birthdays that match his preferences), most of the demons will be sold to other giants at a high price after being raised to a certain extent. Seeing a huge sum of money into his club's account, the satisfaction is like eating a bite of frozen watermelon on a dog day, it's just cool!

Li Mudi remembers coaching Parma, who were relegated to the second division, and used about five or six seasons to turn the club, one of the seven sisters of the former Serie A, from a negative to 300 million, and the team is all talented under the age of 25, Astori is one of them, this veritable young guard has won all the titles it can win, and it is one of the brightest achievements of the Torino manager in the virtual world. Since then, the low-priced but unusually useful centre-back has become one of the players that Li Mudi has used regularly, and has been included in his account almost every time he coaches the Italian team in the game.

In reality, in fact, just after Vallejo returned to Real Madrid last summer, the Torino coach had the idea of bringing in Astori, but due to the arrival of Diego Llorente and Fiorentina's reluctance to sell the core of the team to competitors, it was shelved without further discussion. However, in Li Mudi's mind, the Purple Lily captain, like Ranocchia, is the current Italian central defender with the strength to serve as a substitute for the national team, although there is still some gap from the old and strong Chiellini, but in the two years when some talents have been out of gear, it is still barely possible to build a world-class defense with Bonucci. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, leaving many regrets.

Open Italy's largest fan forum, which is almost full of everyone's condolences and reluctance for Astori's sudden death, and the major social software is also full of football insiders' nostalgia and condolences. Totti, Pirlo, Dzeko, Dybala...... These Serie A players who were Fiorentina's captain's teammates or opponents expressed their reluctance in short but affectionate words, and celebrities such as Baresi and Gullit showed up to express their sorrow. Buffon also posted a long post on Instagram to remember the relationship between the two of them for more than ten years, and the content was tear-jerking.

In the Torino team, Cassie, Immobile, Belotti and others also posted a tribute, and Li Mudi also posted a photo of Astori on the Internet after coming to his senses, attaching ". P", but these did little to ease the shock and grief in the heart.

Subsequently, all Italian clubs and foreign giants including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool and other foreign giants also posted messages of condolences to Astori on their official Twitter and official websites.

On this morning, the Serie A league officially announced that in order to mourn the death of Astori, all remaining Serie A matches in this round, including the Milan derby, will be postponed, and the announcement said: "Shocked and saddened by the news of Astori's death, all Serie A families extend their most sincere condolences to Astori's family." As a sign of condolences to Astori, all Serie A matches will be postponed today. ”

This meant that all the teams had no plans for today's match, especially Torino, who were scheduled to kick off at noon, and who were ready for the final training session when they were given the postponement notice. But no one complained even the slightest bit about this decision, and they all silently returned to the dressing room, sitting in their place with a sad face, and the room that had been noisy in the past had become silent today.

Since the news of Astori's death in the morning was known to the players, it was obvious from the FM system that everyone's morale dropped to a low point in an instant. Playing a Serie A level professional game in this form, even if the opponent is not strong, there is a huge hidden danger, and the postponement of the game is just the right time to save your energy and prepare for Thursday's European competition. As for the rematch, let's wait until the new schedule is released.

In this way, the whole Italian football world spent this unforgettable weekend in an atmosphere of mourning and regret, but the information about Astori still filled the Apennine Peninsula. After the local prosecutor in Udinese announced the cause of the Fiorentina captain's death: cardiac arrest from natural causes, the FA announced that it would hold a ceremony to honour Astori's memory ahead of the friendly match between England and Italy at Wembley Stadium on 27 March. UEFA also announced that it would observe a minute of silence for the recently deceased Fiorentina centre-back before all of this week's European matches. Finally, both Fiorentina and Cagliari announced at the same time that they would retire the number 13 shirt worn by Astori.

After a wave of mournings, it was fast in time for the Champions League matchday, with four teams set to progress to the quarter-finals in midweek, finally drawing the attention of fans to the pitch.

Liverpool played Porto at home on Tuesday night and comfortably advanced to the next round with a big win over the first leg 5-0 on aggregate, securing a place in the quarter-finals for the first time in nine years. Kick-off at the same time as this game without any suspense was the highlight of the knockout round, as Paris Saint-Main returned home to a fateful second leg against defending champions Real Madrid after a 3-1 defeat away from home.

Zizou's side have clearly improved their form since the winter break, with the exception of an unexpected home defeat to Villarreal in their first league game in 2018, and have since shown a very good level of competition, maintaining an unbeaten run of seven wins and one draw. The 7-1 home win over Deportivo La Coruna and the 4-1 away win over Valencia were both rare performances that had largely met the expectations of the outside world before the start of the season.

After a 3-1 home win over their fellow city brother Getafe last weekend, Real Madrid have reached 57 points, and although they are still twelve points away from Barcelona at the top of the table, they are still firmly in third place in the table, and securing a place in next season's Champions League is not a big problem.

There are many reasons for the team's recovery, such as Cristiano Ronaldo regaining his goalscoring ability at the level of a football king, Bale, who had been plagued by injuries before, suddenly getting healthy, etc., but the main thing is the change of head coach Zizou. In this month and a half, he reformulated the rotation of the players, so that Mbappe, Asensio, Kovacic and other young players have more playing time, in addition to fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of all the members, but also so that the physical condition of the veterans has been maintained at a decent level, which is the most critical factor in the success of Real Madrid last season.

It can be clearly seen through the FM system that the overall morale of the Galaxy Battleship is very high at the moment, even Benzema, who is in a goal drought, has maintained a positive and optimistic attitude, only Isco is in a more negative mood now, but who has made him suffer from the outside world recently for being too sticky, and the fact that the team is better without him also says a lot, and the transfer market has begun to circulate the news that the midfield commander will leave the team in the summer.

At noon on Wednesday, the Torino coach half-jokingly expressed to his friend that he would like to take over Isco during a phone conversation with Zizou. The Red Bulls do need to strengthen in the midfield position, whether it is Benassi or Baseli are more suitable to play as a central midfielder, Gourcuff's age and injury-prone physique also limit his performance, Li Mudi is naturally very interested in the Spanish international who can currently be ranked in the top 10 in the world in this position.

However, Real Madrid is certainly reluctant to sell the core players in the team easily, and even if they are put into the transfer market, it is estimated that the price is difficult for the Torino team to afford, so Zizou responded jokingly and asked Li Mudi to exchange Belotti plus 50 million euros. Both sides laughed and skipped the matter.

As for the evening game, the confidence of the Real Madrid people is still very high. Neymar sprained his right ankle in the league, and was later diagnosed with a fractured bone, and has undergone surgery, which will take 6 weeks to 3 months to recover, and he is afraid to participate in the World Cup in Russia. The absence of the number one star has inevitably led to a decline in the strength of Paris, with only 22% of French people believing they can make a comeback, according to a pre-match poll conducted by the French media.

On the eve of the game, some of the home team's extreme fans gathered outside Real Madrid's hotel in the early hours of the morning to make all kinds of noise, trying to disturb the rest of the visiting players, until the police intervened. On the evening of the match, the fans waited at the entrance of the buses entering the stadium, singing the home team's anthem, shouting abusive words such as "Death to Real Madrid" and pulling up banners with "puta madrid". The performance of these extreme fans made the game full of gunpowder, and also made the security personnel in the field feel like they were enemies, adding extra tidbits to a matchup that was destined to be the talk of the town.

In fact, the Galaxy Battleship was not fully available today, with Kroos and Luka Modric, who had just recovered from injury, on the bench, along with Gareth Bale, who played the full game last weekend. Zizou unexpectedly fielded a 4-4-2 formation in parallel midfield, with Casemiro and Mateo Kovacic in the middle, Vazquez and Asensio, two players who are more adept at playing as wingers, dropping back to become wing-backs, and Cristiano Ronaldo partnering Benzema up front.

After the opening, Real Madrid sacrificed a strategy of pressing high in the hope of suppressing the attacking point of Grand Paris from the source, but unfortunately it was easily resolved by the opponent with skillful ball control, and Zizou immediately instructed the players to start recovering the formation, stabilizing the defense, and not allowing the home team to get the opportunity to speed up in the front. In the face of opponents who took the initiative to retreat, Paris coach Unai Emery's pre-match possession tactics allowed them to occupy a certain advantage on the field, but the idea of over-seeking control in midfield did not put too much pressure on the Real Madrid backline due to the lack of creativity in the core area, which also became a microcosm of this game.

At one point, the home side, who had 63 per cent of the ball, repeatedly attacked from both flanks, but Edinson Cavani, who played as the arrow, was unable to find a single dangerous shot against the combined forces of the two centre-backs of Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane. Although Di Maria and Alves sent a through ball to Cavani and starting right winger Draxler respectively, the retreat of Real Madrid's back line made it very easy for goalkeeper Keylor Navas to attack, destroying the opponent's intentions twice in a row and defusing the danger before it started.

Asensio was able to beat Mbappe into the starting line-up, relying on his stronger passing ability than the French youngster, who is still more suitable to play the role of a finisher. The visitors took advantage of the combination of two or three men to get more shots on goal in the first half.

In the 37th minute, there was a huge mistake in the Paris defense, Benzema received a long pass from the back and successfully countered offside, but unfortunately in the face of the pie falling from the sky, the "back pot king" did not disappoint everyone, and kicked the ball to the goalkeeper Areola and created a corner. Previously, he had also wasted a cross knock from Cristiano Ronaldo on the line of the penalty area, and that shot was even more outrageous to form an anti-aircraft cannon.

In addition, in the 17th minute, Real Madrid played a classic tactical corner, Asensio crossed into the box from the right, and Ramos was full of strength in front of the goal, but Areola saved it bravely. All in all, Zizou's team played their own characteristics in the first half without dominating possession, and also limited the opponent's play, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent victory.

After the rematch, the two sides continued their previous tactical thinking, and the results proved that the coaches of the two teams were better at chess. In the 50th minute, Asensio launched a quick offensive after breaking the ball in the middle of the field, and passed the ball straight to Vazquez at the edge of the penalty area, who sent a precise cross with his left foot, which he was not very good at, Ronaldo outflanked at the back post at high speed, and a powerful header broke through the home team's city and forced Paris to the edge of the cliff.
