On the field, there can be hundreds of ways to arrange the formation, the tactics are ever-changing, and each mature coach has his own way of thinking, but in the final analysis, the competitive game of football still depends on the ability of the eleven players who play the ball to distinguish which is stronger and which is weak.

As mentioned before, the defensive style used by both teams before was almost identical, and they were both used by Barcelona in the high press. However, in the face of the frantic interception of the Torino players, Juve's players on the pitch were able to play with each other with relative ease, and although only Cuadrado and Alex Sandro were good dribbling in their starting line-up, the other players, including the two centre-backs, were also adept at protecting the ball and creating paths for their teammates through clever movements, with the exception of the rough guy, of course. However, Torino's players are more than one level behind in this regard, and they have been forced by their opponents many times to lose possession of the ball before half-time, and then they are hit with a quick counterattack. Moreover, more mistakes will affect the mentality of the players, so that they do not dare to play the ball easily, so that the away team players will break the ball in a more dangerous place, forming a vicious circle.

Another advantage of Juventus is their forward line, Belotti is currently only an excellent finisher, and he is still a bit of a biased kind, his header attack ability is almost the strongest in European football at the moment, but the foot work needs to be strengthened, at this time he is like Klose, who has not yet practiced the skills of his feet, and is very easy to be targeted by opponents.

But the old woman's two center forwards are much more comprehensive, Higuain is just the opposite of Red Bebe in front of the goal, with his feet more than his head, but his off-ball running and basic ball control and dribbling are also above average, which can bring all-round problems to the opponent's backline; Mandzukic is tall and big, and his header and ball protection ability are naturally not weak, and it is rare that as a super post center, his dribbling and passing ability is also very good, and he can barely cope with it when he is pulled to the side and temporarily acts as a winger, which makes it difficult for defenders to mark him. The visitors' two centre-backs only needed to kill Belotti in the middle to tackle most of the home side's attack, but Torino's defence was a headache as they kept running and swapping positions against the opposition's midfielders. Whether it is individual ability or teamwork, it seems that Juventus is at least half the best game, and this game is indeed a bit too difficult for Li Mudi and his team.

However, the good news is that football is not a simple game where the strong team is always the winner, and it also has to combine a variety of factors, including environment, form, morale and luck, which will have a great impact on the final result. In the midst of the team's toughest moments, their fans stepped up and became the twelfth player on the pitch to help the Torino players against their fierce rivals. Whenever the home team players dug for the ball, made a tackle or completed a precise pass and passed an opposing player, the stadium erupted in applause and cheers, while the pitch was turned against Torino, and the deafening boos against the Juventus players rang out on time. Although this force could not be directly applied to the ball, Li Mudi and his players did feel a strong force supporting themselves, although they still failed to find any good ways to threaten Buffon's goal again in attack, but at least when the physical strength of both sides felt gradually stopped because of the fierce scramble before, they were no longer trapped by the poor transmission of their own side in the central and backfield, and slightly recovered some disadvantages in possession.

In the 34th minute, Rugani sent a through pass at the back, Mandzukic, who retreated to receive the ball, was recklessly put to the ground by Kastan from behind, and the referee Rocchi hurriedly blew the game off, and then ran to the Brazilian central defender to show him the first yellow card of the game, which immediately caused boos from the fans. To be fair, Kastan's kick behind the back did warrant a yellow card, but the referee had previously only verbally warned the visitors for some fouls, which inevitably led Torino supporters to think he was biased in favour of Juventus. However, in the eyes of those who are still calm, except for the huge controversy over Rugani's decision to stifle Belotti's one-on-one goal, Roki's performance in the rest of the time is quite qualified, and the home fans are indeed a little overreacting.

A minute and a half later, Baseli's dribbling forward was intercepted by his opponent, but just as Khedira looked up to watch his team-mate's movement in front of him and was about to deliver the cannonball, the positive Belotti burst out from behind him and snatched the ball, which was then distributed to Bruno Perez, who was inserted down the right flank. When the latter was about to stride forward with the ball, he was brought to the ground by Mandzukic, who came back behind him to participate in the counter-attack, and a falling tackle was brought to the ground, and the referee also did not hesitate to show the Croatian center forward a yellow card. The Juventus striker was in disbelief, waving his arms to express his displeasure while explaining that it was a good ball that had been touched before the car could not be stopped by inertia and that it should have been a good goal. Juventus coach Allegri on the sidelines was also communicating with the fourth official whether there was a problem with the scale of the decision, but the commentators of various TV stations thought that the back-tackle was dangerous, and even if it touched the ball, he had to give a warning.

Torino were given a set-piece 34 to the right of goal, and with a large number of players on both sides crowded into the box and the home side's header had little advantage, Rajjdzic opted to go straight to the goal. However, the shot didn't fully exert its strength, and it seemed to rub against someone's body in the air to produce a slight sideline, and bounced off the ground and ran towards the far corner. Due to the average ball speed, Buffon was able to move into position with ease and hold the ball firmly in his hands.

In the 38th minute, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the midfield area, and Akwa hastily passed the ball to the right side of the field with a big foot, and the landing point was Falke and Alex Sandro who were fighting for it, but in the end the ball was rushed over to help Chiellini. It's just that the Italian defensive core flew to push the ball out of the sideline at the same time, but also inadvertently hit his teammate's nose with his shoulder, Sandro covered his face with his hands and fell to the ground, and the team doctor hurriedly entered the field for treatment, fortunately, there was no major problem, and he continued to play after a minute or so.

In the 41st minute, Torino found the opponent's right side through a pass, Bruno Perez dribbled past Sturaro and entered the penalty area, but due to physical exhaustion, the last step was a little bigger, and Sandro was cut in time to intercept the ball and knock the home team's right-back to the ground. There was no foul on the ball, after all, it was the attacking player who did not control the ball first, but this did not prevent the home team fans from booing again to express their displeasure and put pressure on the referee again.

Except for a couple of fouls, neither player could find the back of the net, and after a minute of stoppage time, Rocchi blew the half-time whistle. The players of both teams walked slowly off the pitch and returned to their respective dressing rooms to recuperate before returning to the game after 15 minutes.

In the technical statistics of the first half, Juve had the upper hand in the shooting link 5-on-3, but both sides had two shots on target and were evenly matched. In terms of fouls, offsides, tackles, etc., the two teams are also similar, and the visiting team only has some advantages in corner kicks and counter-robbing success. In terms of effective possession time, Torino actually had a slight lead, 13 minutes and 4 seconds to 12 minutes and 29 seconds. On the whole, the two sides were still generally evenly matched in the first 45 minutes, but the old lady's possession of the ball was mostly an active choice, and the team cooperation was more fluent, unlike the home team's side that encountered the crisis of being forced to pass the ball many times in the backfield, and a lot of ball possession was meaningless. However, it is not difficult to see from the first half of the game that the Torino players seem to be in better form than before, while Juventus have maintained a consistent steady style and rarely have consecutive lows.

Li Mudi's speech in the locker room was still mainly praised, after all, being able to play such a 4.5-5.5 situation with the powerful five-time champion is already the result of the players' best efforts. However, although there is a certain gap in the ability of the two sides, neither the coach nor the players have the idea of keeping a draw, and everyone is eager to return to the top three on the corpse of the city's sworn enemy, so there is no need to cheer too much, everyone said that they will attack in the second half, and use the goal to prove that Torino is not only the old lady A strong team.

As the clock was almost up and everyone was ready to return to the pitch, scout Benideti, who had been watching outside, sent a message that the visitors' Pjanic and Dybala had been on the pitch for a while after the regular substitutes had warmed up, indicating that Allegri was ready to send the two big killers soon after the restart. Juventus have so many good players at their disposal that it has caused a lot of trouble for the Torino coach and coaching staff when preparing for the game, because no one knows which card will be played when the opponent will play, which is also one of the fundamentals of the giants.

After the rematch, the two sides were still unable to control the ball smoothly in the midfield, and the ball appeared more in their respective backs. Just 47 seconds after kick-off, the Juventus midfielder kicked a long ball into the home team's penalty area, under the interference of Mandzukic, Kastan's header could not go far, Khedira was inserted in the back row to cross the ball to Sturaro before Akwa, and the rough brother quickly completed the turn in a step inside the line of the penalty area, and volleyed with his left foot under the interference of Rossettini's outstretched leg, but the power and angle were not mastered, and the ball was far away from the goal.

In the 48th minute, after repeated ball exchanges, Marchisio received a throw-in from his teammate and sent a beautiful diagonal long pass, Khedira cut into the penalty area at high speed, judged the landing point and rushed to the top near the penalty spot but failed to top the position, the ball was far off the target. For the next five minutes, Juventus players laid siege to the home half, with precise runs and pressing, but the Torino defence kept their positioning and concentration so they didn't allow the opposition players to create chances. However, their clearances were all done in a hurry, and the first landing point was always controlled by the opponent. And the away team was very clever to chase the ball players of the Torino team like two sidelines, so that they lost a good way to get the ball, which caused a lot of mistakes, and the situation of the home team was a little critical for a while.

However, Juve's side did not have a good way to deal with the ferocious scramble in attack, and could only try to pass the ball into the box and let the two center forwards cause chaos, but several headers were controlled by the home team, and neither side could find a solution to the problem in a short time.

On the home side, after finally passing the ball to the midfield under the opposition's high pressing, their positional attack has no good options, and they still have to rely on the two wings, especially Falke and Bruno Perez, to break through and cross to create a threat. In the 52nd minute, the Brazilian right-back received Benasi's pass and forced a cross from Sandro on the side, Buffon and Rugani had a small problem in coordination, the Italian international's double-fist shot failed to hit far in the interference of teammates, and Falke found an unguarded opportunity at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, and picked up his left foot is a volley, but unfortunately it is an anti-aircraft gun with an elevation angle of at least 60 degrees.

After another tackle and counter-tackle, Barceli's long pass from midfield found Belotti on the left flank, and the Torino striker was elbowed in the face by Rugani, who ran to defend about two metres before dribbling to the edge of the opposition penalty area, and then fell to the ground in pain. Rocchi immediately blew the whistle and then ran over to show the Juve youngster a yellow card, which also drew the displeasure of the visiting players, as Rugani's arm was not open and his elbow touched the opponent's face by accident. However, the set-piece, which was in a good position, was headed out by Mandzukic after Rajadzic drove to the back post, and the subsequent corner did not form an attack.

Then Sturalo's mistake in front was countered by Torino, Belotti was kicked by Alex Sandro on the right side of the field, Rajjdzic took a tactical free kick, Bruno Perez rushed into the right side of the box and chose to reverse the triangle back pass, Benassi directly hit the goal with his right foot from two meters inside the big penalty line. Unfortunately, it was once again blocked by the tall Mandzukic, and the ball flew outside the box, and Falke, who was guarding there, also fired a left-footed volley, this time wide. This free kick combination is a routine of the Torino team's key practice a few days ago, that is, hoping to find another way to catch the opponent off guard when the header is not dominant, but unfortunately it still failed to knock on the door of Juventus, which made the whole team, including Li Mudi outside the field, feel extremely disappointed.
