The remaining matchups of this round of the league were all concluded before 10:30 p.m., with strong teams such as Napoli, Juventus and AC Milan all winning, but the process was not as easy as the outside world had speculated before the game, but it was much luckier than the Roma team who lost at home.

The Red Wolves enjoyed 67 per cent possession and were beaten back twice by Atalanta with a far lead in shots, falling two goals down just 20 minutes into the game. And the visitors were sent off before half-time, which is supposed to be a big enough advantage, but Gasperini once again showed the world his coaching ability, and he managed to defuse most of the home team's offensive in such extremely unfavorable conditions, allowing Dzeko to pull a goal back, and finally left the Stadio Olimpico with a 2-1 scoreline.

And the most surprising game this weekend is the vice-captain Benevento hosts Sampdoria, the Serie A vice-captain who just won the first top league victory in the team's history in the last round, today once again made a big show, with a wonderful performance in the second half to defeat the old sailors who performed well in the first half of the league 3-2, and won two consecutive victories. The odds offered by a bookmaker are as high as 15.48, and if someone bets on it, they can make a big deal, after all, who would have thought that Benevento, who had only scored 10 goals in the first 19 rounds, could score three goals in a single game?

After 20 rounds, the top six in the table have not changed in any way, and the title race between Napoli and Juventus is still unshakable, while Torino, who have won three in a row, have slightly widened the gap with the likes of Inter Milan and Roma, and are temporarily in the lead in the race for a third Champions League ticket. In the battle for relegation, with Benevento, the owner of the worst start in the history of Europe's top five leagues, has achieved two consecutive wins, the place that was originally thought to have been confirmed for relegation is no longer secure, although they are still more than five points away from the nearest team in the standings, but no one will ignore this momentum of promotion now.

However, the week-long suspension of fixtures has provided an opportunity for teams to make a slight adjustment, allowing players to recover and unwind after months of tension, and the club can take advantage of the opening of the winter transfer window to fine-tune their squad in preparation for the return of the tournament in half a month.

At this moment, let's take a general look at Li Mudi's personal information in the FM system and see how he has improved or changed in more than half a year.

Prestige: Three and a half stars (out of five) – still the same as last summer, but the Torino boss personally feels that there should be some growth, but it will be difficult to break through to four stars;

Coached games: 122, including wins: 91, draws: 19, defeats: 12 - just looking at the winning rate of 74.59%, it is already the top level in the world. However, because the first season was too low in Castile, the gold content was seriously insufficient, and it was still not recognized by too many insiders;

The teaching qualification is the highest level of intercontinental vocational certificate;

Languages spoken: English (proficient), Portuguese (intermediate), Italian (proficient), Korean (fluent), French (beginner) – French is a new language, and because French players are currently playing strongly in Europe's top five leagues, Li Mudi took the initial study with the advice of his agent Gines. With systematic help, the effect is still good, and it may become a basic language for him in the near future, which can still provide a lot of convenience for future coaching;

In terms of attributes, most of them have not changed, but due to the previous contract renewals with many core teams in the team, the loyalty has increased from 55% to 60%; In terms of specific attributes, offense: 18, defense: 5, physical fitness: 3, goalkeeper: 2, tactics: 18, technique: 15, mental training: 17, youth training: 17, adaptability: 18, willpower: 14, player knowledge: 14, youth knowledge: 14, discipline requirements: 14, personnel management: 16, motivation: 13, the ability value in youth training has increased, which also confirms that the way he has been vigorously promoting young players in this half season has received certain results.

In terms of medals, the Master of Command has been upgraded to Level 2 (1231/5000), which still has the effect of shortening the player's run-in time, but the effect is enhanced compared to the previous level, and a slightly enhanced player's tactical understanding has been added, much to the delight of Li Moody. In addition, the experience value of the training master has also reached 97/100, and the upgrade is just around the corner, because a large number of youth team members are cleverly drawn in daily training, so the growth is gratifying, and using the BUG to seek their own benefit should be the happiest thing for every gamer. The remaining Medal of Friends of the Player (532/1000) and the Medal of Friends of Colleagues (547/1000) of the Second Class have also increased to a certain extent, and the overall progress has been very smooth.

After talking about his personal situation, let's talk briefly about the changes in the Turin club. The Red Bulls' half-year report was also released this weekend, and the club's total revenue reached a record 70 million euros and net income of 14.5 million for the half year. Generally speaking, the income in the second half of the season is more than the first half, so according to insider analysis, if the Torino club can ensure that the team's results do not decline sharply, then it is expected to increase the total annual income to 1.6 or even 180 million when the summer of 2018 arrives, if this figure appears last season, it will be ranked in the top 30 of the European football club wealth list, second only to Juventus and Inter Milan, and Napoli, AC Milan and Roma are not far behind, This is definitely good news for the Red Bulls, whose reputation is not yet among the best in European football.

Although compared to giants such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, which have annual revenues of 600 million euros or more, can they ask for more for the Torino club that had to borrow money from banks two or three years ago? Despite trying to hide his excitement, everyone saw endless smiles on the face of president Urbano Cairo at the half-way wrap-up meeting held by the club's top management on Sunday morning. During the lunch dinner of all members, the senior management of the club announced that they would give everyone a large amount of semi-season awards, which caused a strong response and pushed the atmosphere to a high level. Tide.

Looking at the text message prompting the arrival of 20,000 US dollars on his mobile phone (not everyone is the same, as the head coach is the highest in the team), Li Mudi just pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, for the current personal account deposit of up to 20 million euros, he is really not a figure that can make him have too many psychological fluctuations, this is still the situation after he invested a huge amount of money in domestic public welfare undertakings, otherwise the bank will pay him more than 20,000 yuan in interest every year. Generally speaking, anyone who has a little financial concept will not let such a large sum of money lie in the hands of capitalists in vain, and will make various investments to make money with money, but the Turin coach, who has no concept in this regard, naturally still maintains the character of "more is better than less", and has no consideration at all.

After the dinner, almost all the staff and players of the team began to go on vacation according to the plan, and returned to their hometowns, Li Mudi went to the conference room with Longo and Valentino Cairo, the two heads of transfer affairs, and while drinking coffee, they made a summary of the club's operations in the winter window.

Although the latest news provided by the team medical team suggests that Belotti will return in two weeks, it will take at least a week to ten days of training to adjust to be able to participate in such a high-intensity level as Serie A after a long absence. Considering that Red Beibei has suffered two serious injuries to his right knee in just two months, Li Mudi also hopes to bring in a goalscorer to share the pressure of the former, so that the former league top scorer, who has just celebrated his 24th birthday, can get enough rest to avoid repeated injuries affecting his entire career, so the loan of a strong striker is still one of the most important things at the moment.

In the shortlist provided by the Torino boss, the chances of Michy Batshuayi joining the team were slim and Valentino Cairo was politely rejected after tentatively asking Chelsea about their intentions. At first, the prince of Turin thought that it was Morata's injury that made Conte make the decision to keep the Belgian for the time being, but after scout Longley sent back the specific news, he realized that the content was so complicated. The Blues boss has his eye on French centre-forward Olivier Giroud, who has struggled to get playing time at Arsenal, but with Sanchez in thigh facing the emergency situation of being poached by Manchester United, Wenger does not want to lose two strikers in succession, so he wants to deal with Borussia Dortmund's Aubameyang first, and then talk about Giroud's transfer.

However, the current performance of the Hornets in the Bundesliga is not ideal, after replacing Dembele who joined Barcelona at a high price with Rajadzic in the summer, the team's results can only be described as mediocre, and the Champions League was kicked out of the Europa League because of being placed in the Group of Death, and the pressure on the club and the manager is very high. In the face of the "beautiful sheep" determined to leave and the poaching of foreign giants year after year, Dortmund no longer had the patience to play this kind of push-pull game, and finally spat out and was willing to sell the Gabonese shooter who is known for his wind-like speed. However, in order for the squad not to drop too much, they need to add a striker who can play in Europe as a replacement, and Michy Batshuayi is the Bundesliga side's favourite. And this has also made the three European powerhouses form a chain of poaching each other, and no one can easily say no, otherwise all three deals will fall through.

With Costa already back at Atletico Madrid and Alvaro Morata injured again, Conte has no choice but to agree to send Michy Batshuayi to Italy even if the Torino club are willing to compromise on loan fees, so the striker who is very promising on Lee Mudi will not be able to land at Turin City this winter.

As for Fiorentina's Senegalese striker Kumar Babacar, the Purple Lily has announced as soon as they learned that the Red Bulls are interested in the player, even if they will loan or even sell the goalscorer, they will try to send him out of Italian football, at least they will not agree to him join a team in the middle and upper reaches of the Serie A standings, so as not to bring unnecessary competitive pressure to their team. Some tabloids in the Turin area also speculated about the matter afterwards, believing that Fiorentina's rejection of the Torino team's intention to recruit was an act of retaliation for their failed attempt to bring in Benassi last summer, but this statement is not corroborated by any evidence, and can only be regarded as anecdote.

In addition, French striker Lodge Remy, who plays for Las Palmas in La Liga, and Swede John Guudettti, who did not perform well at Celta Vigo, are also options for the Red Bulls, but both clubs have made offers on loan fees that exceed the buyer's psychological limit, leaving the recruitment operation in a temporary impasse. As a last resort, Li Mudi had no choice but to screen two more secondary candidates, Stefano Okaka, a black Italian-Nigerian striker who joined Watford in the Premier League in the summer of 2016, and Bolini, who was loaned to AC Milan by Sunderland in July last year, entered the club's sights.

The former is a well-known homeless man in football, who came through the Roma academy and spent the first seven or eight years of his career on loan to various teams, but until he joined Parma as a free agent in 2012, he did not escape the situation of constantly changing clubs, and at most spent two years at the same club before continuing to wander. In 2015-16, Okaka did well in Anderlecht, Belgium, scoring 17 goals for the team throughout the season, and was bought by Watford for €5.4 million after just one year at the club. However, he suffered a serious injury in the first season of his transfer and was only able to return in the second half of the season, but he only handed in a miserable record of 4 goals in 20 games in all competitions.

And after the change of manager this season, the striker has completely lost his place in the team, and has only played six times for less than 200 minutes so far. No wonder he made a proactive confession to the media after learning that a Torino scout had arrived in the east of England, and the player told the reporter of Milan Sport: "I don't want to sit on the bench at a good age like 28, I strongly demand more minutes and better work opportunities, and I will have a good talk with Gino Pozo [Watford owner] this winter and hopefully everything will work out." Torino are a great team, they have a storied history, and if I get the chance to wear that crimson shirt, I certainly have no reason to say no. ”

However, Torino president Urbano Cairo is not too optimistic about the player's future, saying in an interview with Torino Sport newspaper that Okaca's style is too similar to Belotti's to suit the team's diverse philosophy.

The transfer situation is more complicated for Bolini, who is also Italian, having joined Milan on loan from Sunderland, who must buy out his ownership for €5.5 million at the end of the season. So if Torino want to acquire the versatile striker this winter, they will have to count on the Rossoneri to buy him out immediately and then sell or loan him to the Red Bulls, which is a bit of a problem. Half a season later, Borini has made 24 appearances for AC Milan, scoring one goal and providing seven assists, and seems to be in good form, but the vast majority of opportunities have come under Montella. Since Gattuso joined the team, the striker who is not yet 27 years old has been reduced to an absolute substitute and has a tendency to be marginalized, so many people analyze that he is likely to leave the team this winter, which is also an opportunity for the Red Bulls.

However, if you want to take advantage of the Rossoneri, who have been in the news of the economic crisis in recent times, this should not be a thing, if you want to bring in Bolini, the Torino team must buy it for a buyout fee of no less than 5.5 million euros, and if you want to borrow it, you have to pay at least 2 million euros, which is unacceptable to Li Mudi and others.

In this way, the team's forward reinforcement plan is still not progressing, and all three are starting to have headaches.
