All of the 10 Serie A matchups in this round were kicked off at 20:45 on Wednesday night, with the exception of Benevento's home game against Roma, which also made Torino win over Udinese a succession, and the other eight games were also brought to fruition, and the first team to lose all of them was finally produced. Inter Milan had nearly 60% possession on the road, but they fell behind the home team Bologna in terms of shooting statistics, and even if Spalletti used up his resources, he could not continue to win and only managed to win a 1-1 draw.

Milan's other side were much luckier, and although they were unable to secure a dominant win against SPAL, two penalties were enough to keep Montella's side on top of the lead after making it two wins in a row. Atalanta, on the other hand, thrashed Crotone 5-1 at home, regaining some of the domineering spirit that they overwhelmed many of their opponents last season. In addition, Sassulo's one-goal win over Cagliari, Genoa's 1-1 draw with Chievo, and Verona's draw with Sampdoria failed to attract much attention.

Juventus maintained their winning streak, but they did not take advantage of Fiorentina as much as expected when they faced Fiorentina at home, and eventually won 1-0 thanks to Mandzukic's goal to remain at the top of the league.

The highlight of this round is Lazio's home game against Napoli. As a result, Maurizio Sarri showed his strong coaching ability in the direct confrontation with Mihajlovic, and although he was at a disadvantage of being a goal down in the first half, he proved who is the better manager in terms of technical and tactical arrangements and on-the-spot command. In the end, the White Dolphins scored four goals in the second half at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome to win a hearty victory. The visitors' 63 per cent possession and 11-of-17 shots on goal were a huge disappointment for the departing Blue Eagles fans, with such a huge gap between the two teams almost declaring that the capital's dream of winning this year is still a long way off, and they will have to wait some time to relive the glory of the year.

The Red Wolves, who played at the end, have seen a slight change in the league standings after beating Benevento by four goals away from home without a single point. The three winning teams are still in high demand, with Napoli continuing to top the table on goal difference, while Torino are once again in second place with fewer goals conceded. Juventus are followed by Inter Milan with 13 points, AC Milan with 12, Lazio with 10 points and Roma with nine points from a game in hand, and if nothing else, that's all there are to qualify for Europe at the end of the season.

However, the main thing to see now is who can stop the Bianconeri's progress towards a seventh straight title, and the Turin derby at the weekend is certainly the time to test whether the Red Bulls have the qualifications. After the fifth round of the league in midweek, almost all the Italian media, as well as some football figures from other European countries, focused on a big game that could affect the title race. Even the Celestial Empire has sent as many as a dozen media reporting teams to Turin City in an attempt to dig up some inside information and help domestic fans warm up.

Although the CCTV staff approached the head of the club and asked for an exclusive interview with the Torino manager, who is currently famous for his outstanding results, they could only return disappointed. Li Mudi has been so busy in the past two days that even his mother and girlfriend have no time to accompany him, how can he have the time to cooperate with his compatriots to pretend to be B (to be honest, the interview questions of the domestic media are so high-minded, and there are few foreigners who point to the point, especially a national agency like CCTV, in order to create an image, it is not grounded at all. Of course, if the interviewer is Sister Dong Rina, it will be a different story).

However, not accepting exclusive interviews does not mean that the team's head coach and players can avoid other forms of harassment, as long as they leave the club's premises that have been under full martial law, they will always be intercepted by a group of reporters who do not know whether they are alive or dead, and don't want to leave without answering two or three questions, which makes everyone feel a little irritable.

Li Mudi was arrested outside the apartment for two days in a row, even if there were Forsina guards by his side, but in the face of the twenty or thirty reporters who were crowded around him, he could only helplessly exchange a short answer for the right to go home, which was really unreasonable. Fortunately, these professional media people also know what the bottom line is, and they will release them after three problems at most, otherwise the other party will report to the police in anger, and everyone will have nothing to play.

Fortunately, while the two hostesses of the house were present, the plan for the purchase of a new house has already begun. In the past few days, accompanied by temporarily hired security personnel, Li's mother and her prospective daughter-in-law have made a lot of money from the relatively large real estate companies in the city, and the former did not consider the several key targets screened by Li Mudi before, but had to check it again in person, putting on an attitude that obviously he could not trust his son. However, the final property happened to be within the range of the Torino manager's circle, which was a happy result. Of course, Lin Yun'er, who is both high-ranking in this business, should have played a great role in avoiding the small conflicts that may arise between the mother and son, although this situation is almost impossible to happen, because Li Mudi has an indifferent attitude in these daily life, as long as the old man and his girlfriend are satisfied, he will not find fault with anything.

The tentatively settled property is located in the northern part of the city of Turin, less than three kilometres from the Alps, in a quieter, less densely populated part of the city. Thanks to the city's convenient transportation, it will not take too much time to get to the city center, the train station and even the airport, the only drawback is that it is a bit far from the club residence and the Olympic Stadium, but it only takes 30 minutes by car, which is much closer than most people in the country to work.

This is a detached single-storey apartment with a total area of nearly 380 square meters, and the interior is Italian-style high-end decoration, and the former owner went to the United States to develop his business, so he put it up for sale about ten months ago. However, the price of 850,000 euros did not attract the interest of the locals until the owner lowered the price to 800,000 yuan at the end of last month, when he was met by Li Mu and Lin Yun'er, who came to see the house two days ago. After some careful investigation and strong recommendations from the real estate staff, it was almost certain that this would become the new home of the Turin manager. However, due to some changes to the internal structure, although there will be no major adjustments, according to estimates, it will not be possible to officially move in without three months, so Li's mother urgently summoned Li's father to come from Mallorca to settle this matter as soon as possible, so that the children can get rid of the rented house as soon as possible.

All of this happened when Li Mudi had no time to clone himself and entrusted carte blanche to his mother and girlfriend, and he just had to pay the money when the time came, and all his thoughts were on practicing tactics and trying to make a difference in the weekend's big battle.

Speaking to Football-Italia on Thursday afternoon, Allegri gave an outlook on the upcoming Turin derby, where he believes Torino will surprise with a chance to challenge for the league title, while Juventus' main goal is to win seven in a row.

"On Wednesday, the fans helped us win, but you have to be aware that if we take winning for granted, year after year, it will be more difficult and the pressure will increase for the team to win the title. Our goal for this year is seven consecutive titles, which is the main goal, because no one in Europe's top five leagues has come close to Lyon's seven consecutive titles, and we need to keep the enthusiasm going, for the clubs, the teams and the fans. And this means that Juventus must win this Turin derby. ”

"The weight of this game is double for us. Torino are much stronger than ever, and this season they have added good players at the back and up front. They were already strong last season and this season they have added world-class players like Immobile and Casillas with championship genes, so I think they will be one of the team's biggest enemies. Winning against our local rivals means we have won the race for the league title, and it's a six-point battle where everyone has to concentrate 120 per cent and there is no carelessness. ”

"How do you evaluate Coach Li Mudi? He's a genius, maybe one of the best in football today. He's got a lot of tactical quality and commanding skills, and he's top notch in terms of personnel management and coaching, at least I haven't found anything he's not good at yet. The most important thing is that he is still so young, younger than me...... 16 years old? That's pretty surprising, isn't it? At this age, I don't seem to have retired from playing yet, and I have no idea what it takes to be a good manager of a team. Hehe! Coach Lee is a tough opponent and I need to give it my all to have a chance to beat him, and the future is destined to belong to their generation. ”

And before the reporter could find the head of the Torino coach and ask him for a response to Allegri's remarks, an accident happened on the Red Bulls' side, and it instantly became the object of heated discussion on the Internet and in the media. On Friday morning, Spanish winger Iago Farke was involved in a car accident while driving from his home to the club's premises for training, and his car was rear-ended by an SUV behind him that was suspected of speeding and hit a roadside mailbox. Fortunately, after being sent to the hospital for examination, Falke, who was protected by airbags, did not suffer any serious injuries, but some minor contusions were inevitable, but his psychological state was obviously not suitable for playing in the derby, and the team lost a big player before the game.

The accident is once again a sign that the Torino team will begin to shed the explosive form of the start of the new season and gradually return to the level that is generally accepted by the outside world. Yes, even during the winning streak, there are many media and melon-eating people who have appreciated this team, and some people have even begun to eagerly claim that Li Mudi's team has joined the ranks of the championship, and has received a very good response.

But in fact, in the hearts of most people, the dark horse is of course available, and it will bring surprise and vitality to a somewhat aesthetically tired environment, which is why everyone is expecting a team to play higher than expected every year. However, the miracle of Kaiserslautern and the counterattack of Leicester City last season did not receive much attention from the outside world, and people still like to see the drama of the giants finally winning after a difficult competition, which is the most perfect ending. Therefore, there are still many people who are expecting the Red Bulls to have trouble, a decline in form, an end to the winning streak or even a dip to the bottom, especially when their direct opponents are traditional giants such as Juventus and Milan, which have one of the largest numbers of fans in Italian and even world football, the more likely this kind of joke will happen.

And even in the Celestial Empire, which has the greatest support, there are not many fans who really think that the Torino team has a chance to attack the league championship this season, and most people still think that on the original basis of the fourth place in the league, it can go to a higher level, that is, to reach the top three, even if it is a more ideal result, and then accumulate experience, and wait until a year or two later, after the group of potential and talented young people officially rise, it is possible to have the strength to challenge the king.

Of course, Li Mudi himself also feels that the possibility of competing for the championship this season is really a little low, although the performance in the opening stage is indeed very impressive, but this is mainly because the opponents encountered are weak, and it is reasonable to win all of them. Having not been tested by a strong team, it is not clear to everyone what level of limit this Torino team is. And although the winning streak can boost the morale of the players, it will also put a heavy psychological burden on their backs, once they can't bear the pressure, it will inevitably lead to abnormal performance, and the combination of these two points coincides with the big test of the derby, and everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and they don't know what kind of state the game will play.

So in just two and a half days before this big game, the Torino boss has been on the training pitch to decompress his players, even if he doesn't explicitly say that even if they lose, it's not a big deal, but to try to downplay the impact of a game on the whole season. Go all out to fight, don't have too much psychological burden, no matter the winner or lose, as long as you can find your own shortcomings, improve them in a targeted manner, and constantly surpass yourself, this is the fundamental driving force for the team to move forward.

On the day of the game, that is, at noon on Saturday, after the team's adjustment training, Li Mudi, who was about to return to the apartment for a short rest, was stopped by reporters outside the gate of the club's residence, and he said very low-key when he was asked to predict the outcome of the game: "Juventus is the hegemon of Serie A, and it has always been Roma and Napoli as challengers, and the Torino team this season is also interested in joining that ranks, but it is not yet known whether it is enough to qualify, and the derby will tell us the answer." Of course I hope the result is optimistic, but the opponent is the best team in the league, so I'm more concerned about the process than the final score and looking forward to the performance of the players in the evening. ”
