In addition to hoping to bring back the team's former captain, Li Muddy still has other plans for the replacement of personnel at the back, as Diego Llorente is bound to return to Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Vallejo, who was loaned to Torino last year to play monsters, has a higher level of talent, but injuries and too young have limited the youngster's performance this season. Zizou is also because of the team's unsatisfactory record, more of a rotation is only in the midfield, generally does not change the combination of defense, so that Vallejo did not get too many opportunities to play, and the growth rate is a little too slow.

Judging from the current ability, it is clear that Diego Llorente, who is four years older, is better, Zizou has already called the Torino coach two days ago, making it clear that Llorente will be the third central defender in the Real Madrid team next season, so the Red Bulls must consider bringing in a suitable replacement. Because Vallejo's previous training in the Torino team was very good, Zidane naturally proposed to loan him to Italy to practice leveling, but Li Mudi refused. The latter has very big ambitions for next season and does not have time to make wedding dresses for others, and he is ready to play big in the transfer market.

In addition, the team also needs to bring in reinforcements in the midfield position to make up for the shortcomings. Li Muddy has had private exchanges with a number of central midfielders in the team in the recent period, confirming that the position will also usher in big changes before the start of the new season, so he has also formulated a plan based on factors such as tactical requirements and player value.

Among the existing midfielders in the Torino team, the first person who will definitely leave is the manager's descendant Febas, counting the season in Castile, the Spaniard has been under Li Mudi for three years in a row, and the growth effect is very impressive, the current double value of 135 and 162 makes Febas already qualified to play in some of the middle and back teams in the five major leagues.

It is precisely because the 22-year-old already has a strength higher than his average peers that Li Mudi does not plan to keep him by his side anymore. Returning to the parent club Real Madrid is certainly a dead end, and the young man's current ability is obviously not enough to enter the rotation lineup of the world's top giants; And if he goes on loan to Torino for another year, he will have to be a substitute for Benassi and Barceli, two homegrown players and even new signings, which will seriously affect the pace of their progress. Coupled with the shortcomings of his short and thin stature, he is actually more suitable to return to the Spanish arena to play his own characteristics.

So at the suggestion of the Torino coach, Febas, who had switched to Gines' agency in the middle of last year, decided to return to his home country to start a new chapter of his own. At present, there are already La Liga giants Getafe, Espanyol and Alaves, as well as Rayo Vallecano and Gijón who are expected to be promoted to the second division, showing strong interest in the midfielder, and Real Madrid will sell the team with a buy-back clause. Perhaps one day in the future, Febas will return to the Bernabeu, like his predecessors, and live out his childhood dream by donning that sacred white robe.

In addition to Febas, two French veterans have their contracts ending on June 30, and it is not very likely that they will sign a new contract extension with the Red Bulls.

The 31-year-old Gourcuff has not been able to get rid of some minor injuries in Italy in the past few months, but on the whole he has performed well, and his competitive condition has also adjusted to a relatively good level, which is naturally much more comfortable than the situation in the first half of the season when he had no ball to play in Bordeaux. It's just that he is still at the end of his golden age as an athlete, and he is not willing to play a substitute role in the Torino team, but still hopes to get more opportunities to show himself before retiring. Li Mudi also understands his thoughts very well, plus the French forward and Qi Zu share an agent, so he has to take care of it, so he opened the door and allowed him to contact the new owner in advance.

According to the latest feedback, a number of Ligue 1 sides are willing to offer the free playmaker a regular position, and if nothing else, Gourcuff will continue to shine in his home country next season, which is one of the most common backdrop scenes in football.

As for Tulalang's departure, it is full of more helplessness, the veteran, who will celebrate his 35th birthday in September this year, relies on his high professionalism to maintain his ability value at a very good level. However, no amount of effort can be worth the objective law of facts, and the FM system clearly shows that his physical fitness and ability to predict and react have declined to varying degrees, which have been reflected in daily training.

Although Li Mudi would like to keep this experienced veteran, not to mention that he still has the strength to serve as a substitute, he should not be let go easily when it comes to his role as a mentor to young players. However, because the salary offered by the club could not meet Tulalang's psychological requirements, and the Middle East team was interested in inviting him to play to his spare time, the Torino coach could only regretfully accept the reality of another veteran leaving.

Although Argentine Ascacibal and Cagliari Barella, two new signings who have been booked this summer, will report to Torino, the team's midfield core Benassi has already revealed his intention to join Inter Milan. Once he can't keep the current highest-quality central midfielder in the team, Li Mudi will have to prepare a stand-in for him. However, it is clear that he will choose to take one step this time and directly bring in a stronger striker, so that the power of the 3-4-1-2 formation can be fully exploited.

World stars of the level of J Ronaldo and Isco, the Red Bulls may not be able to pursue, but Pastore and other second-class excellent strikers still entered the shopping cart of the Torino coach. It's just that because it is uncertain whether Benassi will leave the team, it is not yet possible to carry out the "seduction" plan, but the preliminary preparations have been handed over to the marketing department, and they will follow up on the transfer status of several target figures to lay the groundwork for possible negotiations in the future.

On the morning of April 10, "Torino Sports Newspaper" suddenly broke the news that Polish central defender Glick repeatedly told his friends in private that he hoped to leave Monaco and return to Serie A to play, and he had secretly watched the derby between Torino and Juventus, which also confirmed his deep affection for the Red Bull. The journalist who wrote the story also claimed that Glick was even willing to accept a certain amount of pay cut in order to return to the Stadio Olimpic in Turin.

As soon as the article was published, it immediately caused a huge reaction among Torino fans, with almost everyone agreeing with the possible deal. Some anxious people even quickly made a PS picture of Glick wearing the latest Torino jersey, and also posted it on social media to join the Pole.

On the same afternoon, Glick was stopped by French journalists on his way home from the club's training ground, but the Poland international did not respond to a question about whether he would leave the club in the summer. On the contrary, his agent later gave an answer similar to "anything is possible", which made the transfer news hot in the football circles of Italy and France.

On the morning of the second day, the official website of the Torino club announced that the team was trying out Brazilian left-back Zeca. Born in 1994, this player from the Santos academy has gained a firm foothold in the first team of the Brazilian giants before the age of 20, and also followed the Samba National Olympic team to win the first Olympic men's football gold medal in team history the year before last, and it can be said that there is still some popularity in international football.

However, an injury at the beginning of last year prevented Zeka from negotiating a new contract with his old club, which directly made him a free agent in July, and he failed to adjust his condition after recovering from the injury, and other domestic teams did not sign the free instant player because of concerns about Santos FC, which has made the player who was bright and promising two years ago still unable to find a job. So after receiving the trial invitation from the Torino team, Zeka immediately flew to Italy, eager to show his ability.

Even if he can't stay with the Red Bulls due to foreign reinforcement quota restrictions, he can also take the opportunity to attract the attention of other European teams, with his current all-round skills, as long as he does not overdemand excessive salaries, and can be considered qualified to be a rotation or even the main team in the middle and back of the five major leagues, and he will not worry about encountering the point of no one cares.

In addition, the major media in Italy also frequently broke out various gossip about the adjustment of the Torino team for a period of time. Brazilian midfielder Fred, Atalanta's young Paraguayan international Almiron, Japan's "Vardy" Kaki Muto, who plays for Mainz in the Bundesliga, and Ajer, a 19-year-old Norwegian midfielder from the Celtic team of the Soviet Super League...... These names are more or less related to the red bull, making it impossible to tell whether they are true or false.

But when more than a month later, a series of confirmed transactions were revealed by the media, everyone knew that these were all smokebombs released by the Torino club to cover up those big deals, and Li Mudi, who dominated all this, was also dubbed "the conspirator in the transfer market". However, we will elaborate on these things later, and first follow the normal flow of the timeline and shift our focus to what is destined to become a legendary European competition.

On the second Tuesday night of April, the second leg of this season's Champions League quarter-finals kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico and the Etihad Stadium in Rome at the same time. At the end of the day, the Torino boss switched to fan mode and sat in front of his TV to watch the Premier League clash between Manchester City and Liverpool with Valentino Cairo, who came over to eat and drink.

Although the match between Roma and Barcelona is being broadcast live on other channels, since the two, or most people, think it is a clash with little suspense, so they naturally agreed to focus on the match where the suspense of promotion is relatively greater.

The three-goal lead is indeed big enough, although Pep Guardiola's coaching ability is unquestionable, and the blue moon that has been unbeatable in the league this season is also very strong, and theoretically the possibility of beating the Reds at home is still quite high, but the Torino coach and the club's prince have not been able to reach the simplest bet, because they do not believe that a miracle will be born today.

There are only a handful of cases that can be completed in the history of European competitions to complete a three-goal comeback, and when it comes to the Champions League, the world's top competition, the chances of it appearing are even smaller. Up to the last knockout round of this season, there have only been two occasions when a team with a first-leg lead of more than three goals has failed to qualify, in 2003-04 when Deportivo La Coruna beat AC Milan 5-4 (1-4 away, 4-0 at home) and Paris Saint-Germain 6-5 (0-4 away, 6-1 at home) Barcelona last year.

Although in 2002, the Red Wolves once beat Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals that year with three goals at home, but that kind of old yellow calendar obviously has no reference value. Even after losing a world-class superstar like Neymar before the start of the season, the Catalan giants still showed the momentum of a top team this season, throwing off their rival Real Madrid in the league by a huge point difference, and the Copa del Rey also easily reached the final all the way, as if they had won the treble.

Messi and others have been in excellent form recently, coupled with the gap in overall strength, everyone still thinks that Barcelona can easily qualify. Even bookmakers are offering odds to favour the visitors to win, which means that before the game begins, the vast majority of people feel that Roma are likely to suffer a home and away double.

But no one could have predicted that a miracle would actually happen.

It was a brilliant Premier League affair that led to a controversial strike in just two minutes before the home side unleashed a wave of onslaught against Liverpool's goal, but were never able to find the back of the net again. Before half-time, a referee's misjudgment also blew out a valid goal from Leroy Sane, causing a lot of discontent from the whole city and the fans in attendance, and Guardiola was sent to the stands for insulting the referee.

The Reds' new core Mohamed Salah's counter-attacking goal in the 56th minute of the second half was a complete death sentence for the Blues, a valuable away goal that forced the home side to score four more goals in less than 40 minutes to complete the counterattack, which is comparable to the chance of the visitors being sent off three times in a row and being declared a direct defeat.

Li Mudi, who thought that there was no suspense in this group of matchups, took the opportunity to tune the TV channel to the live broadcast signal of the match between Roma and Barcelona, just in time for De Rossi to take the penalty kick and rewrite the aggregate score to 3-4. This game, which was not much attention to by many people, changed in an instant, as long as one more goal can be scored, the Red Wolves will equalize the total points, and with the advantage of more away goals to complete a super reversal.

The result did not disappoint all Italians, as Greek centre-back Manolas' header in the 82nd minute was a real miracle, and Roma became only the third team in Champions League history to advance after trailing by at least three goals in the first leg with an epic victory, a perfect illustration of David's feat of victory over the giant Goliath.

At the same time, they completed the comeback from a huge disadvantage of 1-4 down, which also caused the Torino coach to rush to a trace of unease in his heart. The Red Bulls won 4-1 at home to Red Bull Salzburg in the first leg, so could Barcelona's sadness today be a reflection of Torino's future? Li Mudi couldn't help but think to himself.
