As mentioned earlier, if Li Mudi and others buy a professional club in the future, they are likely to choose a club in England. And when there is a certain gap in their financial resources, they are bound to cooperate with others, and the Flanagan family, which has a lot of influence in Britain, is an excellent partner to work with.

So under the special contact and care of the Torino manager, it only took half a season for the right-back on loan from Liverpool to form a good personal relationship with Li Mudi. Although he only made 11 appearances in total, the vast majority of which came as a substitute, the 25-year-old English defender has learned a lot of tips from the head coach on how to maintain his form in his daily training, and has also made his ability more reasonable through the adjustment of the practice program.

Although the current stat is still at 133, the points lost from free-kicks, shots and other skills have been added to the key attributes of composure and defensive positioning, which has led to the development of his overall strength in the direction of a better defensive full-back. Although there is no place for a defender who can only defend and has almost zero offensive ability among top giants like Liverpool, this highly practical player is still very welcome in the Premier League teams that are at the bottom of the Championship or even the bottom of the table. I believe that after returning to China, this super-rich second generation will not lack suitors, and the goal of continuing his career as the main force can be said to be relatively easy to achieve.

In this way, with gratitude to the Red Bulls, especially Li Moody, Jon Flanagan took a flight back to the British Isles, and before leaving, he posted an emotional message on his personal Twitter, expressing his gratitude and nostalgia for the experience of this half season.

At the same time, Diego Llorente, who has returned to Madrid to recuperate, also posted a similar message on the Internet, commenting on the trip to Italy as one of the best experiences he has experienced so far in his playing career, which has been well received by Turin fans.

On the morning of the next day, veteran central defender Emiliano Moretti, who was born in Rome City, made his debut in the Fiorentina academy, became famous in La Liga powerhouse Valencia, and joined the Red Bulls in the summer of 2013, officially announced his decision to retire on the occasion of his 37th birthday, which caused a huge response from fans.

During his five years at Torino, the veteran centre-back made 156 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring seven goals and six assists, as well as receiving 28 yellow cards and only one soff, which is quite impressive. Former captain Vives joined Vercelli during last year's winter break, leaving the captain's armband to Moretti, allowing the veteran to become a member of the team he played for at the last minute of his career, giving him a deeper emotional connection to the Red Bulls.

According to the FM system, Torino is the third club to support Moretti in the player's profile column, after his hometown team Lazio, which he has supported since childhood, and Genoa, where he played before.

The fans of the Torino club did not hesitate to express their feelings at this time, not only gave high praise to the veteran on the Internet, but also organized a team of no less than 3,000 people in a very short period of time, who will attend the retirement press conference for Moretti at the Olympia Stadium on the evening of the 30th of this month to see him off.

However, everyone is not too sad, because the old captain will stay in the club to contribute to the Red Bulls, even if he will not continue to run on the green field anymore. Having already obtained his national A-level coaching certificate, he has just signed a new contract with the Torino team and officially joined the ranks of the youth team as a defensive coach. At the same time as him, he was joined by former captain Vives, who announced that he had taken off the shirt he had worn for 21 years and returned to his former club Torino as a youth team coach after completing his Serie B campaign this season and just as his contract was about to expire.

Coupled with Glick's almost confirmed return, the previous three captains chose to return to their roots or focus on traditional drama at the same time, which made the outside world's evaluation of the Red Bulls a higher level, believing that they are a club full of human touch, which has slightly improved the club's reputation and influence in world football.

It's just that with the news that Torino academy and 22-year-old young central defender Kevin Bonifaczi is about to join Serie B side Vercelli next season on loan, people who pay attention to the Red Bulls feel a little worried, and everyone generally says that although they understand that the team's backline needs a certain degree of adjustment, the current situation of one in and four out has not only not formed a reinforcement, but has a tendency to be weakened. Glick is a good player, but he can't make up for the three centre-backs alone, and the absence of an important rotation player at right-back/wing-back will lead to a further decline in the team's defensive capabilities.

In response to this question, Li Mudi gave his own answer when he left the club on Thursday, the evening of the 24th, when he was interviewed by reporters at the door.

He believes that according to the normal formation requirements and rotation system of the Torino team, the original four of Canneman, Ranocchia, Goldaniga and teenager Rivoya, plus Glick and Frenchman Isa Diop, who was loaned to Novara in the second division last season, these six central defenders are enough for the Red Bulls. Bonifaczi's playing time in the season just ended was extremely limited and negligible. And next season's configuration can be simply seen as Glick replacing Diego Llorente and Diop replacing Moretti, both of which are upgrades from the perspective of ability.

In particular, the young French centre-back, who has just turned 21, was loaned to the second division in the 2017-18 season, but he won the full trust of Novara coach Collini, and in addition to being suspended for accumulating red and yellow cards, he actually played all the games of the team throughout the season. It is precisely because of the accumulation of enough experience in more than 40 professional games that Isadeop's personal strength has increased by leaps and bounds in just one year, and from the perspective of the ability value given by the FM system, it seems that it is not much different from Goldaniga. And the distribution of the young man's attributes is particularly reasonable, the offensive ability is weak, but the defensive end presents the level of the world's quasi-first-class central defender, which can be said to be a perfect defensive superstar.

In the information just refreshed by the authoritative media "Transfer Market", the young central defender who joined Torino from Toulouse in Ligue 1 for a high price of 10 million euros two years ago has risen from less than 3 million at that time to 12 million, which is still generated when he has not played a single Serie A game. If it weren't for the fact that the Gallic Roosters had no shortage of good defenders and that there was no precedent for recruiting players to play in the second division, the French media would be eager to call for Didier Deschamps to take the lad to Russia to lay ahead for the future of the national team.

And it is precisely because of the sudden rise of Diop that Li Mudi is relieved and bold to let go of three central defenders in succession, and abandoned the previous plan to bring in Lazio Brazilian central defender Wallace, you must know that the Torino coach has even instructed the club's marketing department at the end of April to be ready to pay the player 30 million euros in liquidated damages.

The transfer fee saved can be used to strengthen the rest of the team, especially the recruitment of the striker, according to the feedback of Valentino Cairo, the prince of Torino, Paris Saint-Germain still has not given an update on whether to sell Argentine star Pastore. Although former team manager Unai Emery, who has been reluctant to let go of the striker, has been fired by the top management, the new coach Tuchel has not yet officially taken office, and the professor, who has been rumored to take over as the manager of the Grand Paris Sport, does not seem to be in the sign of taking over, so the transfer of Pastore has to be put on hold all the time, which makes Li Mudi anxious.

However, due to the negative attitude of the Ligue 1 giants, the Torino coach has been hoping for the organizational core has not been in place, and with the passage of time, another player who has not entered Li Moody's target has suddenly appeared, making the Red Bulls' forward introduction plan finally have a substantial breakthrough. Of course, that's all for later, so let's elaborate on it then.

As mentioned above, Isadiop has grown rapidly during his season with Serie B side Novara, and the young German midfielder Maximilian Eggerstein, who has also been loaned to the team, has also made a lot of gains, although not as dazzling as the former, but also steadily improving.

With the help of these two Torino youngsters, Novara, who finished ninth in Serie B last season, went one step further to finish seventh in the Serie B table and reach the promotion play-offs. They will host sixth Bari on 4 June, with the winner progressing to the next round of knockout matches against third-placed Frosinone, fourth-placed Palermo and the winner of Citadella and Venezia in a two-game home-and-away knockout match to determine the last place to be promoted to Serie A.

When all 42 regular rounds of Serie B games this season ended last weekend, Empoli, who had confirmed the championship early, and Parma, an old Italian powerhouse, both locked two direct promotion spots, which became one of the hot topics at the time.

It's not too surprising that Empoli, who were relegated in the final round of last season, can return to the first division, although they had to sell a number of key players last summer, including Portuguese left-back Mario Rui and Senegalese midfielder Diuse, because of their relegation to the second division, but the club's hierarchy has not lost their ambition. After the introduction of veteran striker Caputo, Milan academy-trained centre-back Simeone Romagnoli and former Italy international midfielder Mattio Brigi, the overall quality of the team has not dropped much, and it was considered a big favorite for promotion before the start of the season.

However, Parma's promotion came as a surprise, as the former seven sisters of Serie A and sixth in Serie A in 2013-14 were forced to be relegated to the fourth tier by the Italian Football Federation in 2015 due to a serious financial crisis due to the club's mismanagement. At that time, the whole city of Parma was on the verge of collapse, much to the devastating sadness of all the fans who had lived through the glory days of the team, nicknamed the "Crusaders".

However, after the club restructured and renamed "Parma 2013", the team almost immediately showed the essence of an old powerhouse, and in the face of various difficulties, they won the 2015-17 season for two consecutive years, and they were forced to return to Serie B in a situation that was not favored, which is very impressive.

This season, the team suffered a heavy blow after two consecutive wins in the opening game, and after a wave of three consecutive defeats, it went on a three-game winless run, and the league table fell all the way to 15th place, and young head coach Robert Da Versa was in danger of being sacked. Fortunately, they adjusted their form in time and completed a wave of 5-1 high. After the tide, taking advantage of the poor form of the team at the top of the standings, it was actually promoted to the top of the table, which became the focus of the topic at that time.

It was around that stage, that is, in mid-November 2017, that Jiang Lizhang, a businessman from the Celestial Empire (owner of La Liga team Granada FC and a minority shareholder of the NBA Minnesota Timberwolves), invested in the acquisition of 60% of Parma's shares and became the new president of the club, which is also the third Italian professional team controlled by Celestial Capital after the Milan duo.

The post-80s billionaire can be said to be a legend in the sports world of the Celestial Empire, and his arrival in the new Parma gradually stabilized the financial problems that had always made people feel a little stormy, reassuring the club's staff and players, and the team's results began to stabilize. Although Empoli burst into flames in the run-up to Christmas, establishing an early lead in the table, Parma have maintained their top-three finish in the league campaign, keeping the suspense of the second and final direct promotion place until the final round.

Last weekend, Frosinone, who were two points ahead, were forced to 2-2 at home by a desperate Hozhia, allowing Parma, who beat Spezia by two goals away, to level the gap and take advantage of the win-loss advantage in the direct meeting between the two sides to overtake the opponent and overtake the league runners-up. So far, this former Serie A powerhouse, which has produced world superstars such as Gianluigi Buffon and Cannavaro, and had stars such as Veron, Crespo, Zola and Chiesa at its peak, has returned to the first division in the form of an unprecedented "triple jump" in Italian football, and engraved its name on the monument of football history in the Apennine Peninsula.

Because of his fellow Celestial Empire compatriots, the Torino coach sent a congratulatory message on the social networking platform after learning the news of Parma's successful promotion, who knew that he actually received a reply from the official account of the opposing club. Later, there was an introduction by Zhang Kangyang, the prince of Inter, and Li Mudi exchanged phone numbers with Chairman Jiang and talked once. Although the two sides could not meet in a short time due to travel problems, in that phone conversation, the two people of similar age still communicated very comfortably and reached a mutual aid plan verbally.

So the Red Bulls made an "ally" before the start of the new season, but at this time everyone didn't expect that this relationship would play a vital role in their impact on the Juventus dynasty.
