The week that followed, the whole Italian football scene seemed to be suffering from a disease called "Cristiano Ronaldo cult", and if the Portuguese legend was not mentioned in the media and among fans, there would be no response from anyone else. For example, transfer expert Di Marzio broke the big news that Paris Saint-Germain was about to win Bonucci, which would definitely dominate the top of the hot search list in the past, and it couldn't be squeezed into the top ten at the moment, which shows how powerful the charm of this domineering president is.

Turin City, which is already an important city in the world football circle, has welcomed reporters of far more than normal scale after the first round of the Serie A league, and the residence of Juventus FC and the Allianz Stadium outside the stadium really presents the feeling of a Celestial Empire bazaar. However, fortunately, Italy is one of the European countries that is more prone to traffic jams, and the locals are more accustomed to this situation, so there are no public protests.

However, this craze for Cristiano Ronaldo has brought extra trouble to the Torino coach, because the latter's original way home every day is located on a street near the Allianz Stadium.

And what makes Li Mudi feel even more chilled is that Ronaldo will become his neighbor, how will he live in the future? Although the security system in the community is very advanced, and outsiders can't get in, there are squatting paparazzi everywhere outside, and there are long guns and short guns at several entrances and exits at all times, which is also very awkward.

Fortunately, the Torino manager's home is located in the north-west of the Parque La Mandelia area, close to the Alps, while Cristiano Ronaldo will stay in a villa complex closer to the city centre, which is still about five or six minutes away from each other, so it stands to reason that the impact should not be too great.

It's just that the two of them are old acquaintances during the Real Madrid period, even if they are not close friends, but the relationship is also good, even if they are in two hostile camps, there will be no shortage of private exchanges on weekdays, and it will inevitably attract more people's attention.

On the 22nd, Ronaldo used his private time in the evening to hold a simple new home party, inviting Juventus' teammates and several friends who were convenient on the schedule, and Li Mudi naturally would not be absent. Sure enough, a photo of the two people embracing each other enthusiastically outside the owner's house appeared on the front page of the Torino Sports Newspaper published the following day, and became a hot topic of discussion.

However, the modern football scene is not the same as it used to be, the relationship between most rival clubs is far less tense than before, and the coaches and players who are mercenaries are not disturbed by the relationship between their respective teams, and their private interactions are becoming more and more transparent, without worrying about bad opinions from the club's management or fans.

For example, because his son is a die-hard Belotti fan and a teammate of the Italian national team, Bonucci, who previously played for Juventus, maintained a very good personal relationship with Red Bebe; Before Raul was still playing at the Bernabeu, he formed a deep friendship with Pep Guardiola, Xavi and other Barcelona players in the national team, and then passed on the tradition of "Real Madrid captain is not against Barcelona" to Cassie.

And Ronaldo and Li Mudi, who do not have the imprint of the two cities of Turin City, will naturally not be asked by the outside world to form strangers and never get along with each other, and their private interactions will not cause too many people's dissatisfaction.

Due to the proximity of the distance, the Turin coach was one of the first guests to arrive, and after greeting the president and his eldest son Mini Ronaldo, he met Cristiano Ronaldo's new girlfriend for the first time, Georgina Rodriguez, the legendary super shopping guide, and the little princess Alana Maldina, who was born at the end of last year.

The legendary football star's personal love life can be said to be extremely rich, and according to media reports, there are more than a dozen famous ex-girlfriends. Mini Ro, who was born in 2010, and the twin siblings Matteo and Eva, who were born in the summer of 2017, were both born through surrogacy, and both became the talk of the world at the time, and many people were speculating about who their mothers were, but they never had the most accurate information.

Not to mention the romance of the big playboy and the unsolved mystery of the child's mother, Li Mudi, as the king of children, wanted to get close to a few little guys after giving gifts. It's a pity that the boss is the age of "pleasing dogs", and after saying hello, he ran away by himself, and the other three children are too young to even walk well, let alone speak, and they need to be taken care of by a nanny at all times. So the Turin boss, who liked children very much, had to browse around the villa by himself while the host went to greet the other guests.

Basically in line with previous media reports, Ronaldo's new home covers an area of about 600 square meters, has six bedrooms, a sauna and fitness center, and a 3,000 square meter garden outside, which is very beautiful. However, considering the future development and the various uncertainties brought about by his 33-year-old age, the family only lived here temporarily, and did not buy it directly, and the rent was about 600,000 euros per year, which is higher than the actual value of the villa.

However, the security is excellent, and Juventus' vice-presidents Agnelli and Nedved also live in this upscale area, and it is not far from the team's training centre and Allianz Stadium, so the Portuguese superstar decided to rent it for a year and make other plans for the future.

Since there was still training the next day, the party ended early, and the guests dispersed before ten o'clock. Li Mudi, who was strolling back to his home, was thinking on the way, and just in one of Ronaldo's guest bedrooms, Nedved, who was present on behalf of the Juventus executives, revealed to the Torino coach a possible proposal for cooperation in the future, which surprised the latter.

But if he thinks about it carefully afterwards, Li Mudi also feels that he can't be too arrogant. After leading the previously unimpressive Torino side to the top four in Serie A for two consecutive seasons and the Europa League title last season, the yellow-skinned football manager has joined the ranks of world-class managers.

Although it is far inferior to top coaches such as Zizou, Guagua, Mu Niao and Simeone in terms of prestige and ability, and is not as good as Allegri and Ancelotti in terms of evaluation and qualifications in the outside world, even in the competition of the new generation of coaches, it is also behind Pochettino and others, but Li Mudi, who has only three years of first-team coaching experience, has finally been recognized by world football, which is definitely a great achievement for the Asian race.

Similar to when he was able to take charge of the Red Bulls two years ago, his own background in the Celestial Empire has added a lot of points to the minds of many European powerhouses and even giants.

In June, Forbes magazine in the United States, Brand Finance in the United Kingdom, and KPMG, one of the four major international accounting firms, each released their value rankings for European football clubs. Manchester United have completed three kills for the second year in a row to remain at the top of three tables.

Although the estimated values given in the three rankings vary greatly due to different factors considered, the order of the rankings is generally the same, with the top eight being swept by Real Sajen and the Premier League top five (Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool). Compared with last year, the only change at the top of the list is that Juventus, the hegemon of Serie A, has finally reached the top 10 in all the lists, but it can only be placed in ninth place by a huge disadvantage, and it needs to prevent Tottenham, which is not much different from itself, from completing the overtake.

Interestingly, with the sponsorship of the Celestial Empire, the Torino team has formed a very good momentum of progress in the rankings in the past three years, from not entering the Top 50 in 2016, to 22nd in 2017, and then to 16th this year (all ranked in the version released by KPMG), which can be said to be a bit of a European upstart.

And this is exactly what the Bianconeri are very important to at present, their parent company EXOR Group (an investment company controlled by the Agnelli family, the main body of which is the Fiat Group), has been interested in exploring the market in the Far East, and in 2012, it also let the Samsung Group of Kimchi Country Lee Jae-hung (that is, involved in cronies. The man who was sentenced to a suspended sentence of two and a half years in prison after the Masamen incident was elected as an outside director of the group in the hope of gaining Samsung's support to expand its business in Asia.

However, under the global business crisis, the former Asian tigers have long lived up to their bravery, but the economic situation of the Celestial Empire has been developing in an orderly manner, which has given Juventus executives and the parent company behind them a strong sense of stimulation, and they are all coveting the magnanimity of the Celestial Empire's local tycoons.

Judging by the status of several lists, the Bianconeri's operating income last season was only 62 million euros, which is lower than the average of the top 20 and not even higher than West Ham United, who are 13th in the Premier League. Even in Serie A, they are behind Napoli and level with Inter Milan and Torino (who are always one of the European clubs with the most Celestial fans). This is the result of the fact that the Torino team has far fewer seats in the stadium than them, and the price of merchandise, including shirts, is also lower, and the envy of the Juventus hierarchy can be imagined.

After Allegri repeatedly took the opportunity of contract renewal to ask for a salary increase, the Agnelli family naturally did not want to play the role of the wronged leader all the time, and after getting Cristiano Ronaldo and strengthening the strength of the squad, they thought it was time for a wave of tough stance. In the past half of the year, Uncle Yi has been linked with the Italian national team, Arsenal, Paris and Real Madrid, but in the end he chose to stay, but his agent has repeatedly hinted that the club should start preparing a new contract, as for the price, it can only be higher than the current 7.5 million.

This figure will feel a lot of pressure for Juventus, which has risen by 40% in half a month because of the addition of Cristiano Ronaldo.

As a result, rumours have been circulating that the old woman is ready to hire a new manager by next summer at the latest, and it has been reported that Zizou will return to Juventus as an adviser to the sporting director, in order to allow him to have a process of adaptation so that he can take over the position of Uncle Yu at any time. And Li Mudi, who has the halo of sponsorship of the Celestial Empire, is another suitable replacement, after all, he has proven his ability in Serie A, and he can win the Europa League in the Torino team, so if he coaches Juventus, it seems that he will not be too far away from the Big Ear Cup.

However, for Li Mudi himself, although he has decided to leave the Red Bulls when his contract expires next year, it does not mean that he does not have feelings for the old Italian giant, and after AC Milan and Fiorentina, Torino has become the third Italian team he supports. For this reason, he is not willing to be the enemy of this Red Bull, although it is far from the point of never coaching other La Liga teams for the sake of Real Madrid, but to Juventus? This is clearly not something that a disciplined person should do.

However, through Nedved's statement, he still has a relatively objective understanding of his current status in European football, which is not something that can be experienced by seeing the four-star prestige displayed in the FM system, which provides a sufficient psychological basis for him to dare to actively participate in the competition for the position of coach of other European giants in the future, which is a big gain today.

Time was in the daily training and preparation, and soon came to the penultimate Friday of August. On the afternoon of the 24th, the draw for the group stage of the 2017-18 Champions League and Europa League was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon as planned. As the team's second round of the league will kick off on Saturday night, the Torino coach did not attend in person, but asked three senior club officials, including director Antonio Comey, to act as witnesses.

Although Torino's European points are still not high even after adding last season's second-highest European score, due to the fact that they have rarely participated in European competitions in the past five years, UEFA's previous changes to the rules of these two competitions allow Real Madrid and Torino to be the Champions League seeds in the new season together with the champions of the top six European leagues in points, to a certain extent, avoiding the Red Bulls from encountering the strongest opponents in the group stage.

It's just that considering that the strength level of many teams is very similar at the moment, Manchester United, Tottenham, Napoli and Dortmund in the second pot are also very strong, and even Valencia, Eindhoven and Galatasaray are powerful in the fourth pot.
