Compared with the Lazio coach, although Li Mudi has rarely spoken without his brain in recent times with the teaching of Gines and the adjustment of his mentality, but fortunately, he is still a man with a "mockery" aura, even if he coughs casually, he can attract the attention of countless people.

After the home coach and three players left the media room, the Torino coach led Ranocchia, Benassi and goalscorer Zampa Costa into the room and sat on the podium, ready to be questioned by reporters, or tortured.

Sure enough, the first question was the rebuke from the impatient reporter of "Roma Sport": "May I ask Coach Li, the Torino team played a very ugly game today, hoarding more than nine defenders in their own half for most of the game, shouldn't this tactic of challenging the extreme nerves of the audience be eliminated by the times early?" Or is it that in the face of Lazio, which has great strength, you are already exhausted in donkey skills, and you can only resist by swinging a bus. ”

The words of the Roma reporter are still so harsh, but Li Mudi, who has already made an estimate, can still deal with it more comfortably, only to see that he first cleared his throat, and then slowly picked up the microphone on the stage and replied: "First of all, I will evaluate the performance of the Blue Eagles today, their strength is the existence of the top six in the entire Serie A today, when they play on their home ground and find a good form, all other teams will feel a headache." "It's a small compliment, but maybe it's not a compliment, after all, Lazio did perform a lot better than Torino today.

"However, in terms of the strength of our team, it was originally only a short distance from the home team, and the reason why there was such a big passivity on the field had a lot to do with the mistakes in my pre-game lineup and tactical arrangement." The courage to admit mistakes in public has always been one of the strengths of Li Mudi, and few team managers are willing to admit their mistakes. "I was able to make a mistake in the pre-match situation and was suppressed on the pitch, but I would like to give a big shout out to the team defending today, and I am very pleased with the execution and resilience shown by the players."

"As for the 'swing bus' tactic you mentioned, it originally came from the chain defense system that you Italy was proud of, with this set of tactics, your country only re-emerged in the last century, and the Serie A league is also known as the name of the 'Little World Cup', why didn't you say it was ugly football at that time? Many years ago, Mourinho came up with an improved defensive counterattack tactic and slaughtered all sides in England and Italy, and I didn't see you jump out and criticize him for being conservative! How come I get to where all I have left is to blame? Of course, my current level and achievements are nowhere near the same as those of the masters, but the tactic itself does not deserve such a vicious evaluation. ”

After breathing a sigh of relief here, the Torino boss continued to defend his choice of tactics: "When you face a strong opponent, you will inevitably think about stabilizing your own defense first, don't you see teams of the same strength as Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, and also played defensive counter-attacks in the Champions League knockout rounds just past? It's just that they didn't have the ultimate success, and Torino were clearly a notch more efficient today than their performances, and we had 11 shots on goal, which is no worse than Lazio in terms of absolute chances, so this draw is what we deserve. ”

Most of the problems after that were also related to the performance of the two sides today, the grievances between the two managers and the competition for European qualification, Li Mudi has been holding a very peaceful attitude to get rid of them one by one, and can finally return to the hotel to have a good rest. However, the current situation of the Red Bulls is a little worse, and the difference between the teams in the fourth to eighth places in the standings is very small, Lazio 54, Inter Milan 53, Torino 52, Atalanta 51 and AC Milan 49, with 30 points left to fight for, the outcome of any one game could change the fate of many teams.

Mihajlovic's side are relatively active at the moment, having won 2-0 in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals, and will be able to progress to the final in the second leg in early April. Atalanta, who have the most powerful schedule in the future, have also won the favor of many professionals, and Gasperini's team has been so consistent this season that almost all the points they deserve have been put in their pockets.

As for the remaining three teams, when they are basically on the same level in terms of schedule, match intensity, player status, etc., direct dialogue between them will become the key to deciding who can stand out. The first kick-off game in the next round of the league will be an important game for Torino against Inter Milan at home, and whoever can take all three points will take the most solid step on the road to a European ticket next season. As soon as Li Mudi returned to the hotel, he began to prepare for the next game, and the importance can be seen.

The next day, after returning to Turin at noon, the players began to enjoy the usual half-day holiday after the game, but instead of resting, the coaching staff gathered in the conference room to start analysing the situation for the Nerazzurri. Since taking over in the 11th round, Stefano Pioli has shown an astonishing ability to lead the team, scoring 41 points from 18 league games, with 13 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats, only trailing the Old Lady and matching Atalanta. If it weren't for Frank de Boer's drag in the early stages, Inter would now be second in the standings.

In the last two rounds, the Nerazzurri have caused two tragedies in succession, first beating Cagliari 5-1 away from home, and then beating Atalanta 7-1 at home last Sunday, showing very good form. Encountering them in such a situation, the Torino side can only prepare more in the pre-match plan, except for lamenting that their luck is really bad enough. However, fortunately, the team's defense has been tested by Lazio's firepower, and the outside world is also speculating whether the Red Bulls will continue to put up the bus and carry out the stubborn tactics to the end.

But before the Italian media could start warming up for next weekend's game, Torino once again served a dessert for everyone. On Tuesday evening, Jonathan Barnett, the agent of England international Joe Hart, claimed in an interview with Sky Sports that his client had not yet made the decision to return to Manchester City.

After a series of fatal mistakes in two league games in mid-to-late January (six goals were scored in six shots on target in both games), Chilean international Bravo, who joined Manchester City at a high price before the season, completely lost the trust of Pep Guardiola, who helped Argentina's veteran goalkeeper Willy Caballero into the starting line-up, and the team immediately regained their form.

Seeing this scene, the British media began to speculate whether this would usher in a slight change for Joe Hart's future at the Etihad Stadium, so many British reporters began to rush to Turin to get first-hand information from the people involved. Jonathan Barnett, who was originally silent about this matter, suddenly opened his mouth for some reason, which also made the future of the Torino goalkeeper quickly become the object of attention in football.

On Wednesday night, the situation escalated further, with Joe Hart himself speaking at a sponsorship event in Turin that he felt he was superfluous at City, and although he has always loved his parent club at heart, he still has to think about being involved at his current age. So if he doesn't have a chance there, he'll have to look elsewhere, or he'll have to call it home.

When asked by reporters whether he had already chosen a target in his mind if he did leave Manchester City permanently, the Torino goalkeeper finally said that he had left his mouth, saying: "I choose freedom. I love the Premier League, I love the Premier League games so I want to watch the Premier League games as a player. It's a great league and it's a great football. I know the Premier League well but I wouldn't say I would most like to go back to the Premier League, what I want most is to play for a club that wants me to be their goalkeeper. From this answer, it is not difficult to guess that he will return to England next season to join a Premier League team, and the next Li Mudi is likely to be West Ham United, who have always been obsessed with Hart.

For the behavior of his goalkeeper, the Torino coach still subjectively said that he can understand, after all, as a goalkeeper who can be ranked in the top ten in the world in the past ten years, he has always been unable to find the future of his career, and it is reasonable to prepare for the next job in advance. However, the timing of the outbreak of this incident is not conducive to the club's preparations, and many reporters have gathered outside the training ground in the past two days, making it very inconvenient for everyone to travel, which is really a headache!

However, when a message came out of the Internet at noon the next day, Li Mudi let go of his resentment against Hart, because something that made him even more headache happened. According to the website of the Italian newspaper, the Torino club may sell Serbian striker Rajjdzic this summer.

According to the article, the 25-and-a-half-year-old Rajjdzic joined Torino from Roma last summer for a transfer fee of 6.8 million euros plus a floating clause of about 2 million. After joining Torino, the player became a starter for Li Mudi in the first half of the league, but after two or three games in the early days, he gradually returned to calm. Around the winter break, as Jesus' form went from strength to strength, the Serb was relegated to the bench for a number of games, and he has only been rotated in the last nine league games against Pescara and Palermo.

The so-called "experts" of the Italian newspaper Andiario Ritaliana analyzed Rajadzic's current situation and concluded that he is not fully integrated into the team, and that there are two main reasons. First, the player himself likes to play as a midfielder, but the Torino coach does not have this position in the regular formation, whether it is 4-3-3 or the occasional 4-4-2, the midfielders are in a parallel position, which makes the Serbian can only play as a winger, so that his strength cannot be fully utilized; As for the second reason, it is more damning, the article believes that Li Mudi prefers to use Jesse, who he strongly advocated from his old club Real Madrid, and believes that the latter is his descendant, so he deliberately did not give Rajjdzic a chance.

Just when everyone thought it was just another piece of false news to attract readers' attention with a bad match, the daily newspaper, which is mainly published in Milan and Lombardy, published a screenshot of the final match between Lazio and Torino last weekend. Li Mudi, who was standing on the sidelines at the time, was making the final tactical arrangements with Avilar, who was the third substitute in the away team, while Rajadzic, who was sitting on the bench at the far end, had a gloomy face and looked at the back of his head coach with a very angry gaze. This scene happened to be swept by a camera, and it was finally found by someone with a heart.

In fact, using a photo as evidence is not convincing at all, after all, some players just have a very strong desire to fight**, and they will feel particularly unhappy if they don't let him play, such as Ronaldo, but who made this Serbian player a person with a criminal record.

On the evening of May 2, 2012, Italian time, in the penultimate round of Serie A that season, Fiorentina scored two goals in less than half an hour at home by Novara, who had already fallen into the second division with one foot, and the then head coach Del Rio Rossi, who was extremely dissatisfied with the players on the field, used his substitutions in the 32nd minute, and the next game was Rajjadzic, who finally became the starter at the end of the season. This was like a powder keg, and the young Serb obviously couldn't accept the insult, not only did not shake hands with the manager, but even applauded him.

Rossi, who initially focused on the pitch, did not notice what was behind him, but the boy raised his voice to express sarcasm and protest, which completely angered the Fiorentina manager. After turning around and scolding a few angrily, finding that the other party had no intention of reining in, Rossi suddenly pounced on the bench from the sidelines, grabbed Rajadzic by the neck with his left hand, and slammed the kid's head with his right fist. The scene stunned everyone, and it wasn't until the Serb had been beaten several times that the assistant coach and club staff reacted and pulled Rossi away. However, the gaffe of the Purple Lily coach has been broadcast through the television camera in every area where the game can be watched, and the image of the club has been greatly affected.

Therefore, although Fiorentina stubbornly equalized the score later, the club's management announced the dismissal of Rossi immediately after the game, and the player involved was also banned and fined.
