After venting his anger, Li Mudi, who gradually calmed down, did not choose to go to the stands, but turned directly to the visiting team's dressing room, where there is a TV and walkie-talkie equipment to watch the game and contact the coaching staff on the sidelines. Time is running out of time and the team is running out of substitutions, so they just need to step back and get past the last few minutes to get a not-so-worst ending.

Escaping a penalty and having the opposing manager sent off the pitch boosted the morale of Sampdoria's players, who once again went crazy and laid siege to the Torino goal, leaving Linetti alone at the back. In the final moments, even goalkeeper Viviano rushed into the visitors' box in an attempt to replicate the miracle of Benevento goalkeeper Brignoli's header two months earlier. However, they were unable to find the back of the net against the visitors, and in the face of a desperate situation, the united Torino players showed tenacious fighting spirit and indomitable spirit, and used their flesh and blood to resist the onslaught of their opponents and keep the score 1-1 until the last minute.

In the end, the Red Bulls gritted their teeth and got a valuable point in the difficult situation of playing one less player on the road, suffering a suspected miscalculation, and the coach was also sent off the field with a red card, and held on to the seven-point lead from fourth place in the league. However, the controversy generated in this game has become the focus of controversy after the game, and the subsequent development of the incident has also been closely watched by everyone.

The Torino boss, who was still unhappy with the referee's decision, took the initiative to make his position clear by absenteering the post-match press conference for the first time in his coaching career. Turin's assistant coach Kevin Samfield, who was present in his place, expressed the team's view in response to reporters' questions, saying that Rocchi's enforcement today was very controversial, and that the penalty scale in the first half of the game was not consistent with the time when he sent off Febas, and that he did not review it through VAR when there was a handball foul in the box of the home team's players, which is a sign of unprofessionalism and extreme irresponsibility.

The club's president, Urbano Cairo, who travelled with the team on the road, also expressed his strong displeasure in an interview with the media, arguing that Rocchi's disastrous performance ruined all the previous efforts of the Red Bulls and should be permanently suspended, while expressing his support for his own team manager.

The Italian Football Federation's response was also very timely, and at 8 o'clock on Monday morning, the Disciplinary Committee published on the Football Association's official website the results of its handling of the various incidents arising from the Sandu battle. The report said nothing about the reasonableness of the referee's decision, but found that Torino had violated a number of rules and proposed corresponding penalties. Among them, the president of the Torino club, Urbano Cairo, was fined 5,000 euros for criticizing the work of the referees; The team's assistant coach Samfield was also fined €2,500 for using non-compliant accusations against the referee at a press conference.

As for the team's head coach Li Mudi, he is naturally the one who is punished the heaviest. He was fined 25 million euros because he was absent from the post-match press conference without any reason; For offending the fourth referee and using insulting language to attack Rocchi, the Football Association fined him an additional 10,000 euros and banned him for two matches (only for domestic matches in Italy). In other words, the Torino boss will miss the team's home game against Udinese on 10 February and the second derby in the city on 18 February, which caused an immediate uproar.

Regardless of whether Li Mudi's abuse of the referee needs to be punished so severely, from the perspective of non-Juventus fans, everyone still has great expectations for the Turin derby in two weeks' time, hoping to see a wonderful and fierce duel to make up for the regret of the first meeting between the two sides this season. The suspense of the game was lost early because of Barceli's red card, and although there were many goals, it was clear that a one-sided game would not please the neutral fans.

For more than two decades, the Red Bulls' poor strength had made derbies little to watch, and although they were able to cause some trouble for the old lady with their mental strength from time to time, the outcome of the game was always unpredictable, and the loss rate of nearly 70% was proof of the world's difference between the two sides. After Li Mudi entered the main team, the combat effectiveness of the Torino team has obviously improved rapidly, although the previous three encounters only got 1 draw and 2 losses, it still seems that there is still no improvement, but those who have watched the game know that the performance of the two teams on the field has been infinitely close.

However, if the head coach is unable to take command from the sidelines, it will tip the balance of the game entirely in the Bianconeri's side. Although there are still many doubters about the Torino coach at the moment, his coaching ability has been widely recognized in the general opinion inside and outside world football, especially the positive evaluation of Italian coaches such as Spalletti, Gasperini, and Giampaolo, which has greatly improved Li Mudi's status in the European sports circle. Without such a coach with a strength close to the continental level to press on the sidelines, the Red Bulls want to cause trouble for the old woman who has dominated Serie A for six consecutive years, and it will be very difficult in terms of difficulty.

So at noon on Monday, many Turin fans posted a petition on the Internet, hoping that the Football Association could "commute" the team's manager, and won the support of more neutral fans. According to incomplete statistics, nearly 70,000 messages of support were collected in just 30 hours, not counting the fans on the side of the Celestial Empire. Because landing on Italian football forums requires a wall in China, and most of the registration needs Italian, which does not make this number jaw-dropping to Europeans.

The rest of the league fixtures were all on the back of the pack at midnight on Sunday, with the top two players both unsurprisingly picking up the three points, with Napoli still in the title race with a two-goal win away at Benevento. Juventus, on the other hand, ushered in a hearty victory on their doorstep, slaughtering Sassuolo 7-0 and creating the first bloodshed in Serie A this season. Gonzalo Higuain's hat-trick in the game allowed him to quietly close the gap to the leaders in the scorers' charts and was the team's number one weapon in attack after Dybala suffered a hamstring injury.

Another game to watch is AC Milan, who have found their form and maintained a three-game winning streak before being held back by Udinese at the Stadio Friuli. Although Gattuso's side always had the upper hand, the Rossoneri were able to secure a 1-1 draw from the Rossoneri and have had to slow down their quest for European qualification. However, their luck is still stronger than Lazio, and the Blue Eagles' unbeaten golden body after the change of coach finally came to an end, but the 1-2 defeat at home to Genoa still made the outside world feel very incredible, which was also the biggest upset of this weekend.

In the standings, Napoli with 60 points and Juventus with 59 points continue to widen the gap with the chasers behind them, and the battle for the Serie A title has evolved into a "two-person turn" situation, and it is difficult for other teams to intervene. With 52 points, Torino still occupies the last Champions League spot, and still has a big lead over Inter Milan (45 points) and Roma (42 points) behind them. However, considering that they will face strong opponents in the latter stages of the league, it is still unpredictable whether this position can be maintained at the end, and the pressure on Li Mudi is far greater than it seems.

At noon on Monday, after having a hasty lunch in his apartment, Li Mudi was accompanied by his agent Gines, who had rushed from Spain, to the club's residence. Today is the day for the players to rest, but the club's hierarchy has to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the handling of his suspension. However, when he entered the gate, he saw many busy staff, including several Celestial Dynasty people, and after careful inquiry, he found out that the club was decorating for the Celestial Lunar New Year that would arrive in the middle of next week.

Last season, the Turin Olympic Stadium added a lot of Spring Festival elements under the instructions of the chairman and other high-level executives, which attracted a wave of fans on the side of the Celestial Empire, and thus got more benefits from the sponsors. This year, with the team's results still improving, the club will naturally not miss a good opportunity to attract the attention of the oriental fans again, so when the team rushed to the away stadium on Saturday, they began to make an all-round arrangement of the stadium and the station. The reason why we have to make a little bit of attention to the station is because there will be reporters from Tianchao CCTV and PBTV coming to interview and shoot this weekend, so naturally we need to show the sincerity of the club.

And it is precisely because of such importance to the feelings of the people of the Celestial Empire that the Torino club from top to bottom will feel completely unacceptable for the two bans given by the Football Association to the team manager, and in the conference room, starting with director Antonio Comey, everyone has expressed their opinions and offered how to convince the Football Association to reduce the punishment.

Although the prestige of the former domination of the Apennine Peninsula has long since faded over the decades, the Red Bulls are still one of the stalwarts of domestic football, with a certain number of allies due to their sworn enemies with Juventus. Comey proposed that clubs like Napoli and Roma who don't want the old ladies to profit can come forward and do the work of dredging in secret, and many of the staff within the Football Association are inextricably linked to various clubs, and who knows which person can influence the final decision.

In addition, the acquisition of Li Mudi not only allowed a club in Turin to open up the Far East market, but the entire Serie A league also enjoyed a lot of dividends, both in terms of ratings and sponsorship fees. Even for reasons of maintaining the feelings of the people of the Celestial Empire, the Italian Football Association cannot watch Li Doudi miss the focus of the Lunar New Year battle, after all, the idea of "wanting to make other people's money, but not giving people face" is absolutely unacceptable. President Urbano Cairo said he would communicate with National Olympic Committee President Marago as soon as possible to clarify how much negative impact it would have on the country as a whole if Li Mudi was not dealt with lightly. If the Italian sports leader can be convinced, it will most likely lead to a compromise decision made by the Football Association.

The media outlets in which Urbano holds a stake will also focus on the various serious mistakes made by Roki in the battle of Santo, in order to find a reasonable excuse for the team's manager's insulting remarks, so that the relevant personnel can use it as a basis for supporting the commutation of the sentence. After this set of combination punches, everyone thinks that there should be a greater probability of reaping an ideal result.

Before the end of the meeting, which had lasted a full hour, Gines, who had been silent until now, suddenly opened his mouth and made a suggestion. Last weekend, he received an invitation letter from a Chinese organization living in Italy, hoping to present a friendship medal to Li Mudi in Milan, the organization's headquarters, in recognition of the pride and pride that the Torino coach has brought to overseas compatriots in the past two years, tentatively scheduled for the afternoon of the 11th local time. That day happened to be the day of the "Second Chinese Spring Festival Gala" written, directed and performed by Chinese in Italy, and the other party also sincerely invited Li Mudi to participate in the party and perform a program on stage. As for the promotion of his compatriots, the Turin coach naturally did not hypocritically refuse, and soon nodded and agreed to attend the ceremony and party, and began to use his personal time to repeatedly practice the song "My Chinese Heart".

Gines therefore suggested that the date for awarding the medal could be brought forward, so that the Italians could see what kind of influence Li Mudi has in the hearts of the Chinese in Italy and even all Chinese in the world, which should increase the possibility of the Football Association changing the verdict. This idea was taken seriously by the club's top management, and after a brief discussion, they decided to ask Gines to contact the Chinese organization and implement the matter as soon as possible.

On Tuesday afternoon, in front of the famous Miranda Weimar Theater in Milan, Li Mudi received a bronze medal from Mr. Li Xiutong, president of the Milan Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The people who attended the event in person also included Song Xuefeng, Consul General of the Celestial Empire in Milan, Lombardy District Councillor, Deputy Mayor of Milan City and Mayor of Milan District 1 and many other important officials, which can be said to be quite grand, attracting the attention of many Italian media, and even many media in the Celestial Empire also forwarded the relevant news afterwards.

On Wednesday evening, the Italian Football Federation announced the punishment of the Torino coach again, stating that after receiving a written appeal from the Torino club, the disciplinary committee urgently convened a re-assembly and called several relevant personnel as witnesses to reorganize. After a high-precision restoration of the entire matter, it was found that the previous penalty decision was debatable. After consultation with the relevant personnel, the penalty conclusion of the head coach of the Torino team Li Mudi is hereby corrected: the Italian Football Federation partially accepted the appeal of the Torino club, and the ban was reduced by one game on the basis of the original penalty result, but Li Mudi will still be suspended for one round and fined 12,500 euros.

The result was largely in line with the Red Bulls' expectations, and they agreed to accept the latest penalties without any further growth. As a result, Li Mudi regained the on-the-spot command of the city derby, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune!
