In the face of the "super-god state" of the opponent who has the advantage of playing at home and has been completely stimulated, I believe that the choice of most managers will be to further strengthen the defensive intensity of their own side and make plans after avoiding their edge. After all, in terms of the aggregate score, their team still has a one-goal lead, and even if they concede another goal, there are still extra time and penalty shootouts as a way out, and there is no need to attack the opponent in this extremely unfavorable situation, because the winning chance is really not big.

The momentum factor on the football pitch must not be underestimated, and it has always been seen that two teams that were not much different in strength have played a surprisingly big score, such as the two-legged clash between Real Madrid and Juventus in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and the first leg between Liverpool and Manchester City. The reason for this situation is that, in addition to the ups and downs of the players' on-field state, the winning side has all mastered the momentum of the game and completely crushed the opponent.

The same is true of the clash between Salzburg and Torino tonight, where the two clubs, both of which use the ox as a totem, collide with each other, and although tactics and player strength are also important, the momentum of the narrow encounter is also a key factor that can affect the final result.

In the cheering of tens of thousands of supporters at the scene, the home team already has a huge innate advantage in this regard, and if they are allowed to play wantonly, God knows what kind of fairy ball will appear before the end of the game. So if they can't give the opponent a strong response at this time, maybe Torino will really follow in the footsteps of Barcelona and become the next pitiful worm who led by three goals in the first leg but was finally eliminated.

Li Mudi and others still don't know that fans around the world who are paying attention to this European League have posted various predictions with the word "reversal" on the Internet, especially on the side of the Celestial Empire, "In Europe, you don't even dare to lead by three goals" and "Everything has to start from that night in Rome......" and other ridiculous comments and barrages have been on the top of the hot search. A number of people have already despaired of the Red Bulls' progression, especially when Belotti replaced centre-back Bonifazi and Torino changed to a 4-3-3 formation, especially when their manager ran out of his mind.

Zhan Jun, a commentator on PB Sports Webcast, and Zhang Lu, a guest commentator, also felt a little worried about this substitution at this time. Both experts believe that it takes tremendous courage to choose to strengthen the attack at such a difficult time, and Li Mudi is indeed commendable on this point, but judging from the current situation on the field, Red Bull Salzburg has a very clear advantage, and the players are like playing chicken blood to be able to play 12% of their ability, and the Torino team, which has a seriously disorganized lineup, wants to attack against attack, and the prospects must not be very optimistic.

Their prediction was verified four minutes later, Dabur was like a ball king possessed by three away defenders on the left side, broke through to the bottom line and crossed the goal, but fortunately, Goldaniga was tall and long, and a sliding tackle blocked the ball, otherwise Hwang Hee-chan, who was outflanked in the middle, could have attacked directly from a position only about five meters from the goal.

However, the home team's attack obviously did not stop, Berisha's corner kick ran to the front post, and the Croatian central defender Calleta Karl, who has a certain advantage in height, jumped high in front of Diego Llorente and flicked a header back, which immediately disrupted the entire defensive arrangement of the Torino team. When Casillas realized that something was wrong and immediately wanted to move his body quickly to the back post, it was too late, and the unmarked right-back Reiner used a dive action at the back post to head the ball into the unguarded goal.

With a score of 4-1 and an aggregate score of 5-5, Red Bull Salzburg and Torino returned to the same running line in the 77th minute of the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, and instantly became the most eye-catching group in the four matchups that kicked off at the same time. Although the other three encounters were also exciting, after experiencing miracles such as Roma's reversal of Barcelona and Juve's almost overturning Real Madrid, fans not only did not get tired of watching the drama of falling behind by a big score and then coming back, but looked forward to it even more. In addition to the supporters of the Torino team, even those neutral fans have begun to cheer up for the home team, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Li Mudi and his team.

Watching the celebration and cheering of the entire Red Bull Stadium like a volcano, the Torino coach on the sidelines looked a little ugly, and at this time he also felt the mood of the opposing coach Marco Rose after the goal of Immobile at the beginning of the second half. The decision he made was quickly slapped hard by reality, and it may have an irreversible negative impact on the entire battle situation, which is too much pressure.

Just when the players on the Torino field, including the veteran Cassie, were already a little overwhelmed and their confidence in advancing to the semi-finals was about to collapse, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to the sidelines. And the team boss who was slightly chubby and looked much younger or immature than his Western peers because of the characteristics of East Asians did not disappoint everyone, and Li Mudi quickly made a decision: to carry out the attack to the end!

This is not because he is about to be overturned by his opponent, nor is it as some commentators believe that there is no way back but to gamble, but he was mentally prepared to concede again when he made the decision to replace Belottti, and now he is just a matter of strengthening his resolve.

In terms of characteristics, Li Mudi's Torino team is not a team that is good at defense, although it has used a defensive strategy many times in the face of many strong teams before, but it is not blindly putting the bus to defend to the death, their sharp counterattacks will always make the opponents have scruples and dare not press the attack with all their might. And once they give up the containment of the front court and fully deploy the defensive tactics, the Red Bulls will not perform better than the mid-table teams such as Fiorentina or Genoa, and may even be weaker.

In the face of the Red Bull players who have now been completely opened on the offensive end, even if their attack power after the explosion is far from being first-class in Europe, it is not without the Torino defense line that all the main forces such as Ranocchia can be sure to completely defend, and the previous four goals fully illustrate this point, so it is actually difficult to achieve the conservative tactics proposed by many anxious fans and even some professional commentators at this time.

In addition, the Red Bulls' all-out attacking results will inevitably lead to a lack of emphasis on the backline, and the Red Bulls, who are already above the Austrian side in attack, were able to take advantage of this opportunity to claim the second goal of the game. As long as one more away goal can be scored, the opponent will have to score two more goals if they want to achieve a counterattack, and this account is dominated by the Torino team no matter how it is calculated. That's why Li Mudi gave the order to continue attacking so firmly, and his mind was even clearer at this moment than when the team was ahead.

Whether Marco Ross on the opposite side has maintained enough sobriety is not very clear to outsiders, but his choice at this time received a lot of criticism after the game, because he replaced the goal-scorer Huang Xichan with Norwegian striker Gulbrantsen, and did not have any intention of reining in the offensive end. The Red Bulls, having equalised the aggregate score, are clearly no longer comfortable with their previous goal of going into extra time, and they are hoping to settle the fight within 90 minutes in order to give a hard slap in the face to those who claimed they were eliminated after the first leg.

So when the game entered the last ten minutes of regular time, the two sides whose physical strength had bottomed out were still engaged in a crazy battle on the court, and no one flinched, like two warriors fighting to the death, used their last strength to kill the opponent's fatal weakness.

In the 82nd minute, Berisha split the ball to the right side in the middle, Yapo won the ball and crossed in front of the goal, and the follow-up Dabur outflanked the shot slightly off the far post, but the linesman had already raised the flag to signal offside. Gulbranson, who had just come on the pitch, also made a difference, using his speed advantage to cut into the box from the left after receiving a pass from his team-mate, and it was a direct shot, but unfortunately he couldn't control the angle in pursuit of power, and the ball only hit the side-netting.

However, Salzburg's heavy investment in attack also made the defense in their own backyard relatively weak, and a single attack by the Torino team almost killed them. In the 85th minute, Febas picked up a cross from the edge of the penalty area, Belotti carried Lamarjo's body and squeezed the ball to his teammate on the left, Immobile dribbled the ball straight in front of the goal, but in the process there was obvious physical contact with Caletta Carr, and both fell to the ground. In the case of the frantic boos of the fans at the scene, as well as the fact that the players on both sides insisted on their own words and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the facts, the referee Skomeina did not make any judgment after a little discussion with the referee on the bottom line, which made the away team very dissatisfied.

Li Mudi was unwilling to find the fourth official to complain to him, but naturally he did not get any response, so he could only return to the sidelines outside the bench in great anger under the persuasion of his assistants to continue to watch the game.

Both teams are still very engaged in their offensive attempts, but because most of the starters are no longer physically fit, the results are not ideal. Marco Rose made his second substitution in the 86th minute, when Japanese striker Takumi Minamino replaced striker Yapo and the home side changed their late formation to 4-3-3.

However, it is not always successful to put it to death and live after, otherwise this trick would not be so rare and famous. As soon as the three-minute stoppage time card was unveiled to the fourth official, the Torino team unleashed one of their best attacking routines.

Vukocevic got the ball outside the penalty area, Fabas grabbed the opponent's back Schrager and stabbed the ball to the right, and Farke, who had never had a bright performance after coming on the field, suddenly got up to speed away from the defender's marking and crossed the bottom. Immobile in front of the goal suddenly cut in to the forward point to take away the attention of most of the home team's defenders, and Belotti, who was ambushed at the back post, showed a super bounce that was not inferior to Ronaldo, and beat Calletta Carr, who was a full ten centimeters taller than him, and smashed his teammate's pass into the top left corner of the Salzburg goal with a powerful header. Even if the veteran goalkeeper Valker had tried his best to make a flying sideways move, he could not resist this perfect attack.

The moment the ball hit the net, the entire Red Bull Stadium fell silent like a morgue, but the cheers of the Torino players, coaches and the only 300 or so fans in the stands were like a knife in the hearts of the home team's supporters, who could not help but turn the pain into a deafening boo. However, none of this can save the reality that the Austrian league giants were kicked back to the bottom at the moment they were about to climb the cliff, and Li Mudi's side got a crucial away goal, and the whole body has already entered the door of the final four, and the remaining heel is just waiting for the final whistle of the two short and one long.

In stoppage time in the end, the home team players still did not give up the idea of putting on a miracle, but the mentality that had completely lost the square inch and the blow of the goal conceded made it impossible for them to organize any decent attack. The visitors also wasted a lot of time with "shameless" delaying tactics, and although Cassie received a yellow card for this, it did not have any impact on the rest of the team as the card record will be cleared after reaching the semi-finals.

In the end, after a game of ups and downs and several reversals of the plot, Red Bull Salzburg defeated Torino 4-2 at their home stadium, but were slightly inferior to 5-6 on aggregate and failed to achieve a good comeback. Li Mudi led the team to the semi-finals of this season's Europa League, which is undoubtedly a big upset compared to the results predicted by the outside world before the start of this competition last summer.

The other three matches that ended at the same time also came to fruition, with Marseille beating RB Leipzig 5-2 at home and eliminating the Bundesliga powerhouse 5-3 on aggregate, with the two Red Bull brothers both being held out of the semi-finals. CSKA Moscow, who returned to their home stadium, were unable to cause too much trouble for the mighty Arsenal, and a 2-2 draw changed the three-goal gap between the two sides in the first leg, and the Gunners easily advanced to the next round; The only favourites in this round are Atletico Madrid, who won 2-0 at home last week, were stubbornly intercepted by Sporting de Portugal when they were at the Alvalad Stadium, and finally won 2-1 with a narrow goal defeat with a tenacious defence.

The next opponent of the Red Bulls will be between these three traditional European powerhouses.
