And when it comes to the results of the season so far, it is difficult to say that Zizu is proud. Although they won the club's second Club World Cup in December last year (not counting the previous Toyota Cup and Intercontinental Cup football tournaments), apart from the Champions League, Real Madrid's domestic competitions have been on a high and low trend.

In the league, a 16-game unbeaten run in the opening round set a new record for the longest unbeaten run in Spanish football: 40, but a number of draws against teams at the bottom of the table did not allow them to widen the gap between them and Barcelona behind them. And with the team's successive defeats to Sevilla and Valencia after the winter break, the top spot in the league that had been sitting for half a season was also taken away by the arch-rivals, even if Zizou's team won 6 and drew 1 in the last seven rounds, it failed to complete the comeback against Barcelona, who were also in great form.

The Copa del Rey was even more embarrassing, as Real Madrid avenged their unbeaten run in the quarter-finals of the domestic cup after being beaten 6-3 over two legs by Sevilla in the 18th round of the league to qualify for the Europa League. But just when everyone predicted that Real Madrid would meet Barcelona again in the final final, they dropped the chain on Celta, who was only ranked tenth in La Liga, and failed to complete the reversal away from home after losing 1-2 at home, and finally became the target of an upset again, and the dream of the treble was shattered in advance.

However, fortunately, they can still maintain a good fighting spirit and form in the Champions League, although they were pressed by Dortmund in the group stage, they also got an unbeaten record of 3 wins and 3 draws, and the first game after entering the knockout round was a 3-1 victory at home against the powerful Napoli, which is generally favored by the outside world to enter a stage of the game.

Due to Raphael Varane's injury, Zizou had to send Pepe into the starting line-up today, which also brought some hidden dangers to the backline, but fortunately, Bale's timely return from injury allowed the BBC combination to be regrouped in front, and Real Madrid will pursue more goals today. Judging by the starting line-ups submitted by both teams, they are all playing with all their main players, and this contest between teams with the best offensive efficiency in all of Europe will definitely be addictive to neutral fans.

After providing some advice for the White Dolphins, Li Muddy left the practice ground with Forsina and found a restaurant in the city for a good meal, and then pinched into the stadium, ready to cheer for his friends and the parent team, while also studying some of Sarri's tactical characteristics on the spot, in preparation for future encounters.

With a capacity of more than 60,000 spectators, the São Paulo Stadium was packed today, with the vast majority of the home team's supporters and the pressure they put on the visitors was impossible to ignore. Speaking before the game, Hamsik said: "The Napoli fans will be shouting loud enough to be heard in Turin tonight, and with their cheers we can overcome everything." The shouts and singing that erupted in the audience made Li Mudi feel very uncomfortable, and he couldn't even hear the referee's whistle to kick off.

After kick-off, Napoli took advantage of the home advantage to attack aggressively, creating a number of chances in the first seven minutes to bring the atmosphere of the home fans to a fever pitch. In the first minute, Mertens turned and hit the goal from the top of the box, but the ball was blocked and went over the crossbar. Sixty seconds later, Kroos' header from inside the box was headed back to the goalkeeper and Insigne fired wide from a tight angle. In the fifth minute, Callejon's cross from the right in front of the penalty area was narrowly cut off by Carvajal, otherwise Mertens, who was outflanked at the back point, would have formed a state of empty goal. A minute later, Algerian left-back Gurang's corner from the right was spun straight towards goal and was saved by Keylor Navas. In the seventh minute, Hamsik's shot from the left side in front of the penalty area went just wide. This wave of strong offensive showed the strong determination of the home team to turn the game around, and it also made all the Melingers sweat for their team.

However, Real Madrid in the superstar drama will naturally not be restrained, and several attackers in the midfield who can rank in the top 50 of the world football value list have begun to look for opportunities to fight back, the most active of which is Kroos, who was mentioned by Zizou in the forward position today. The German midfielder's favourite and adaptable position should also be central midfielder, but when he is played up in midfield, he can increase the connection with the BBC and increase the ability to intercept on the spot when switching from attack to defence. In the twelfth minute, Bale crossed from the right, Kroos won the ball at the top of the box and volleyed directly into the goal, which was saved by Reina. After that, the former Bayern midfielder and Modric successfully sandwiched in the front, and then went straight ahead, although the final pass was blown offside, but also shocked the home team up and down the cold sweat.

However, no matter how good the tactics are, Kroos's position premise enhances the team's attack, but also leaves a hidden danger in the central midfield. Real Madrid lacked rib protection in the inverted triangle position that limited the opposition's midfield ball, and Napoli frequently used mid-range passes in the high midfield to break down the visitors' first two defences, and the visitors' ribs were repeatedly targeted, and they finally conceded a goal halfway through the first half.

In the 23rd minute, Hamsik found a chance to go straight into the penalty area, Mertens hit the goal from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area, Navas fell to the ground and couldn't save, the ball flew into the inside of the far post, and the score was rewritten to 1-0. While the home team fans cheered and celebrated, Li Mudi, who was sitting in the gathering area of Real Madrid fans, had been thinking about how to adjust if he was the coach of the away team at this time. Will the Germans drop back into midfield and resume their original tactical play, or will they go all the way to the dark and fight the opposition to the end?

Without waiting for the Torino coach to figure out the answer, Zizou gave his own judgment: continue to attack. It was a risky decision, as Napoli could have equalised the aggregate score if they had allowed Napoli to score a goal, giving them the absolute initiative on the road goal.

Then both sides were still not conservative, wanting to continue to suppress each other through attack to win the initiative on the field. In the 28th minute, Kroos went straight into the penalty area, and Ronaldo shook off the defenders and goalkeeper Reina who fell to the ground one after another after entering the box, but his empty goal kicked the post in the near corner and bounced off, missing the golden opportunity to equalize the score, and he failed to break the goal drought of five consecutive Champions League games without scoring.

However, luck then helped Real Madrid escape, and in the 37th minute, Brazilian midfielder Allan crossed into the box, Mertens hit the box with his right foot from the bag of three visiting defenders, and the ball hit the far post and bounced along the line to the touchline. The missed goal, which could have turned the situation upside down, made everyone in the home team regret, and Maurizio Sarri even made a high-five gesture on the sidelines to express his heartfelt sigh, and the more than 50,000 Napoli fans in the stadium were even more mournful.

In the end, the two sides still ushered in the halftime whistle with a score of 1-0, and the result of the White Dolphins leading by one goal was more reasonable when all the statistics had a slight advantage. With the next goal going to turn things upside down, everyone is looking forward to what kind of exciting matchup will take place in the second half.

This Champions League is the last benefit of the Torino manager's crossing, and his Champions League memories came to an abrupt end after Real Madrid qualified for the quarter-finals, so he was too worried that his friend would leave Italy today with regret and sadness. With the feeling of remembering himself more than a year ago, Li Mudi's attention began to gradually lose his attention to the provocation between the fans of both sides and the substitute players who began to do warm-up exercises in the field, and a lot of chaotic thoughts appeared in his mind, mostly some irrelevant memories related to his past life. However, because it was a temporary idea, it didn't generate too many other thoughts, and it returned to normal after being interrupted by the referee's whistle.

In my memory, the final score of this game should be the same as the first leg of both sides, both sides are 3-1, but the winner is Real Madrid. And the reason why I remember it so clearly is because of the other game that kicked off at the same time, Bayern Munich, who beat Arsenal 5-1 at home in the first leg, also made a big kill when visiting the Emirates Stadium, and even played a 5-1 game. In the two games that kicked off on the same day, the final results of each of the two rounds were exactly the same, which left a deep impression on Li Mudi before the crossing.

In the first half, although Real Madrid was able to rely on Kroos in the midfield and Modric's forward intervention in the final stage to form a gap in the receiving place, they could not limit the opponent in defense in a targeted manner, which became the biggest reason for the score to fall behind. In this situation, after the midfield adjustment, Zizou made the players increase the intensity of high pressing, so that the quick counterattack after the break became a means for the team to strengthen the attack. And it was this kind of corner kick created by forcing the ball to break the ball, Real Madrid equalized by Ramos, and then completed the reversal in a short period of time, making the "Toni with water" combination famous again.

In the 51st minute, the passing ball of the Napoli backfield players was brutally contained by the visiting team, and while Ronaldo and Benzema began to press, the midfield quartet all pressed through the half and began to press high. After completing the break, Ronaldo handed the ball to Kroos, who found Benzema and Ronaldo outflanking in the box and crossed the ball to the back post, although it was eventually pushed back by the right-back Hisay, but the nightmare for the home team has just begun. Kroos sent a corner from the left into the box, Ramos jumped high in front of the post and shook his head at the goalkeeper, and the ball hung straight into the back of the net to equalise.

Maurizio Sarri was furious at the goal, there were three or four more defenders in the box than Real Madrid, and the header powerhouses such as the president, the water lord and the warrior monk all made a focus on preventing set-pieces before the game, but Napoli still failed to turn the plan on paper into reality. They made a fatal mistake and gave the opposition's most dangerous man a chance, and in return the situation was reversed, and as long as the visitors defended well in the next period, it would be difficult for the home team to complete a comeback. However, Maurizio Sarri misjudged the situation behind the game, Zizou's side never won by defending, and the biggest factor supporting this team to become the favourites to win the Champions League was their superior attacking ability, and the game quickly lost its suspense.

In the 56th minute, it was a mirror image of the previous goal, Kroos sent a corner into the box from the right, and Ramos once again pressed a number of home defenders to head the spot. Mertens, who was standing on the line of the small penalty area, tried to clear the ball with a header in the face of the incoming ball, but unfortunately due to his height, he could not change the trajectory of the ball flying towards the goal, and still flew into his own goal. The score was 1-2 and it was clear to almost everyone that Napoli were on the verge of a goal, after all, they would have to score four goals in the rest of the game, which was absolutely hellish in terms of difficulty. The commentator of the Italian broadcaster even claimed that the predicament faced by Napoli at this time had successfully equaled Barcelona's 0-4 defeat in the first leg, but no one could have imagined that there were still miracles, but not everyone could create them.

In the following game, although the home team was still working hard to create chances, after all, the mentality could not be compared with when the same goal was leading, and the threat to the Real Madrid goal was far less than in the first half, but the opponent seized an opportunity to completely seal the victory. In the 90th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot into the box was saved by the home goalkeeper, and substitute Morata followed up with a follow-up shot to set the final score of the game at 1-3, and the defending Champions League champions reached the quarterfinals without danger, while Napoli can only look forward to playing again next year.

The post-match technical statistics of the two games show that the two teams are basically at the level of half a catty, and no one has a clear advantage. However, the superstar's personal outburst still led to a big score difference in the result of the game, and the powerful "Tony with Water" combination has also become the object of praise from various media.

In the Caracciolo Hotel after the game, Li Mudi once again had a short exchange with his friend Zidane, and the two analyzed the game that had just ended, and exchanged technical and tactical ideas between the two sides. The duo currently play in a similar way, using the midfield's ability to speed up the game, and then combining the assists of the full-backs and the movement of the frontcourt players to bring a series of impacts to the opponent's defence. However, the individual ability of the Torino players is far behind Real Madrid, and the final effect is even more different, which makes it difficult for Li Mudi's team to stick to such tactics all the time, and has to turn to defensive counterattacks in the face of strong opponents. For this kind of congenital deficiency, there is no good way to solve it, and it can only be adjusted step by step by training and recruiting.

After a hasty night's rest, and in a deep sleepiness, Li Mudi returned to Turin the city with Forcina the next morning to continue preparing for the weekend's away game against the Blue Eagles.
