Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 165 A hat-trick of a genius, or a super double!
Conceding the ball at the beginning, Genoa began to try to counterattack.

Although they are currently one place higher than the relegation zone, the 9 points do not have any advantage. It is very likely that they will become the last three when they wake up.

Serie A’s end-of-season dividends are pitifully small, and the broadcast share is divided into this. Last season’s league champion Inter Milan can only get 2340 million euros, which is similar to the broadcast share of the English Championship champions. Norwich, the bottom team in the Premier League, earns 9440 million pounds. A quarter of that, Premier League champions Manchester City's £1.66m...

Forget it, the Serie A media can't count it anymore, if they count too much, they will be in tears.

The league investment is small, there are few stars, the team confrontation is not exciting, the attention is low, the broadcast and sponsorship are also reduced, resulting in less bonus share, which in turn further reduces the team's investment.

Last season, the broadcast share of the three relegated teams in Serie A was only 260 million, 160 million and 90 euros.

Therefore, for teams like Genoa and Venice, they can either stay in Serie A or simply relegate to Serie B. They don't have to lose every week to make fans angry.

Obviously, Genoa wants to win.

Especially the head coach they just changed, AC Milan legend, Ukrainian "nuclear warhead" Shevchenko.

In the summer, the legendary striker, as the head coach of the Ukrainian national team, led the team to the quarter-finals of the European Cup.

More than half a month ago, on November 11, Genoa, which was hovering in the relegation zone, fired the original head coach and hired a Ukrainian to take over.

He really wants to do something in Serie A and continue his coaching career.

For Mourinho, Shevchenko is a knot in his past-it has nothing to do with the Ukrainians themselves.

In the first coaching cycle at Chelsea, after winning the Premier League for two consecutive years but failing to make further progress in the Champions League, Chelsea boss Abramovich forced Mourinho to "plug" him in the summer transfer window of 2006. He chose Shevchenko and Ballack, the famous players, and asked him to "make good use of" these two players.

From the point of view of Mourinho's tactical ideas and formation arrangements, these two people did not fit his team building, coupled with a series of other things, Chelsea failed to achieve three consecutive championships in the end, but also because of the transfer concept The serious disagreement in the field led to the Portuguese being sacked by the club a year later.

So at this moment, sitting on the coaching bench and watching Shevchenko yelling not far away, Mourinho has no waves. With sufficient rest, there will be absolutely no loss in this game.

His tactics did catch Genoa by surprise.

Before the game, Shevchenko specially formulated the design of the offensive line, a 3-5-2 formation, two midfielders and wing backs, plus two forwards, aiming at the two sides of Rome to make a fuss.

How to counterattack, how to overlap, how to insert, how to pass, how to grab points.

All the "how" revolved around one key point - avoiding Roma's strongest defensive midfielder position, playing their weak defensive full-backs and slow-moving central defenders.

Genoa's midfielder Badley, who was responsible for distributing the ball to the two wingers, was originally given the order "don't go forward" and concentrated on distributing the ball and organizing in the midfield.

This is good, Chen Xiaoliang's position has moved forward, and the two people who would not meet in Shevchenko's vision have become opponents with overlapping positions and direct competition
Under the influence of Chen Xiaoliang's covering ability and running ability, Baddeley couldn't even get the ball a few times in the midfield, and his teammates passing him the ball was equivalent to passing the ball to Chen Xiaoliang.

Baddeley had to keep retreating to the center back to get the ball, but in this way, the distance between him and the two wing backs became very far, and the efficiency and accuracy of the ball plummeted.

Shevchenko looked at this and had no good way for a while. He couldn't demand too much from this group of civilian players under his banner.

But he was a little depressed in his heart. While secretly cursing Mourinho as an old fox, he marveled at the fact that his teammate Pirlo used to play football before, but why did this boy from the Red Country show himself a defensive midfielder today? Front…

There is no fast transfer of the low-level ball on the left and right sides, and the long pass lacks precision. As a result, Genoa's side attack can only be carried out all the way, which allows the Roma players to invest their troops with confidence.

Coupled with the gap in their own abilities, Genoa's wing attack was completely unable to play.

The situation once again evolved into a siege of Rome in the half court.

In the 11th minute, Chen Xiaoliang, who was pulled to the left, crossed with his right foot near the baseline. The extremely strong arc flew towards the goal, making Genoa goalkeeper Sirigu dare not attack.

Facing the Mexican central defender John Vazquez who was marking him, Cesco, who has an advantage in height and weight, leaned on the opponent and kicked his sideways hook shot. Siligu touched the ball with his outstretched hand, but he still couldn't change the flight trajectory!

0 is better than 2!

The Roman offensive continues!
In the 23rd minute, Genoa's 35-year-old central defender Marciello made a long pass to his teammate and Ghanaian forward Cuban.

"Quick double-team! Double-team!"

Seeing that Chen Xiaoliang was going to attack again, Shevchenko immediately called on his team's players to step forward to defend.

Tactics can change suddenly, but players' abilities cannot change overnight!
Also during the international competition cycle, my coaching team and I have studied it very carefully!
Chen Xiaoliang, excellent in crossing, fierce in defense, explosive in free kicks and long-range shots, but I don’t know why he only used them once, but his ability to dribble, stop the ball, and pass the ball forward is his weakness!

Putting him in this position by Mourinho is obviously a double-edged sword!

As long as our players double-team him, it must be...

!!!

Shevchenko's inner monologue was not over yet, and his two midfielders Sturaro and Rovira rushed to nothing!

As soon as Chen Xiaoliang received the ball, he saw that the two men were coming to double-team him, so he kicked directly to Zalewski on the left.

Genoa's right-wing defender Sabelli suffered the loss just now and did not go up to grab, but opened a safe distance to mark the man. Zalewski did not have a good breakthrough route for a while.

Chen Xiaoliang took a few steps back, and Zalewski returned the ball to him.

Genoa's two defensive midfielders stepped forward again to double-team.

As soon as Chen Xiaoliang got the ball, he immediately passed it back to Christant behind him.

One kick out of the ball!Still kick the ball!It's all one touch!
Shevchenko is depressed, how can there be such a midfielder?When guarded or unguarded, in the middle or on the side, when splitting and crossing, almost all of them use one kick to deliver the ball!
He doesn't dribble?Why don't you observe?Don't you want to control it?

On the other side of the coach's bench, Joao also asked a similar question: "Jose, is this what you asked him to do? All the balls are played with one kick, as concise as possible?"

With a confident smile, Mourinho only said: "I let him play freely, and I think he did a good job."

In fact, he was also very surprised. After all, when kicking the midfielder, Chen Xiaoliang would occasionally control the ball to observe the position of his teammates, and then distribute the ball to his teammates to launch an attack.

Today's style of play was indeed unexpected even for him, and it never appeared in training.

Chen Xiaoliang thought for several nights to move forward.

Looking at his defensive and physical attributes, he has been thinking about how to hold his position and not lose the ball.

After thinking for a long time, I finally came to the conclusion that if we don't control the ball, we won't lose the ball.

After all, there are only 76 training points, and passing, dribbling, technique, and stopping must all be added, which is not enough.

So he added all his training value to passing the ball, relying on running without the ball to occupy a safe position in advance, trying not to control the ball when facing the ball, but directly kicking the ball and distributing it to the two sides or Pass back to the two defensive midfielders who are both good at playing the ball.

Coupled with his super stealing ability, even if there is a mistake when receiving the ball and the opponent around him intercepts it, he can quickly grab the ball back.

In this way, Mourinho's pre-match expectations were also realized-not only added a protective barrier before the back, but also allowed the two defensive midfielders, especially Cristant, who has good footwork but slow movement More long balls are played in the later positions.

After receiving the ball, Kristant took a few steps and passed it diagonally to Karlsdorp on the right.

The Dutch right back is not very good at defense, but he still has a way of attacking.

A light stoppage took advantage of the situation and swayed away the 22-year-old left wingback Andrea Cambiasso, the most valuable Genoa player, and sprinted straight to the bottom line!
Karlsdorp entered the penalty area, John Vazquez came up to defend, Karlsdorp swept the ball vigorously with a footwork that could not tell whether it was a shot or a cross pass!

Abraham missed the shovel shot!

Zalewski, who was at the back, followed and pushed with his right foot!
0 is better than 3!

24 minutes!In the away game, Rome has already led by 3 goals!

This is Zalewski's first league goal of the season!The Polish teenager is very excited!Rushed all the way to thank Mourinho for a hug!
Abraham, who got up from the ground, also jogged and celebrated with his teammates.

He seems to have discovered a fact in a trance, that is, he has switched from being the team's main attacking forward to a supporting forward...

His running and positioning in the penalty area are all to attract the defensive attention of his teammates. Cesko scored two goals today, which also compares his 5 goals in the league...

England's black big man couldn't hide things in his heart. When Chen Xiaoliang gave him a high-five, he could see that he was a little bit disappointed. He was obviously playing against a fish belly.

Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself: There is no way, you are useless if I give you a chance...

He encouraged Abraham and said that he would pass on a few more later.

The game continues!

At this time, the game had only started 25 minutes, and the Genoa players and their new coach were surrounded.

The weakness of the Serie A relegation team is far beyond Shevchenko's imagination!
What team did you play before?

AC Milan!Chelsea!

Who are these people in Genoa now?
Nothing to do, nothing to do.

Not many talented forwards succeed as head coaches after retiring, and midfielders and backcourt players often have a greater probability of success as head coaches.

There is a saying that these forwards are relying more on their own inspiration and talent, or the killer's instinct to find scoring opportunities on the court.

This ability can only be felt, not expressed in words.

For Shevchenko, he feels that he can score the ball by doing a few moves like this, that, but the players under him may not be able to make a few moves that he thinks are easy in his life.

However, Shevchenko also understands that if he continues to play like this, his first show will become a complete disaster. Throw a few.

In the stadium, the posters and banners that the fans of the home team originally put out to support their new coach also "disappeared" a lot.

Seeing a tragedy about to happen, they also felt disheartened.

However, the young men in Rome were jealous. Seeing that their opponents had no power to parry, how could they miss such a good opportunity to show off their might?

In the 42nd minute, the defending Genoa continued to resist the pursuit of Rome.

Abraham received a cross from Chen Xiaoliang at the top of the penalty area from the left, swung the ball away from Sturaro with one step, and shot with one kick.

Sirigu swooped hard and blocked the ball!

corner kick!

Without Pellegrini, none of the Roma players on the field went to the corner.

Wellertu and Christante were very puzzled when they saw that Chen Xiaoliang was also staying in the penalty area.

His eyes seemed to say: What are you doing standing here?Hurry up and kick off.

Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself: I kick off?Can I directly draw the bottom line, do you believe me?

He made a look at his "little brother" Weiletu, and Weilertu hurried over.

Corner kick!
Not before!Nor is it late!

That's what Weiletu was looking for, Chen Xiaoliang!
The Genoa players, especially the three midfielders, have long been pissed off by Chen Xiaoliang.

Can't do anything about you in sports battles, but let you mess around in set kicks? !
Sturaro, Rovira, and Badley all surrounded him!
One secretly grabbed Chen Xiaoliang's pants, one jumped up and held him down in the air, and the other headed towards the ball with all his might!
With this posture, Ibrahimovic can't stand it.

Chen Xiaoliang couldn't jump up at all, so he simply retreated to the outside of the restricted area.

Sturaro pushed the ball out, and North Macedonia's legendary veteran and 38-year-old forward Pandev received the ball and wanted to pass it to the young and strong Cuban.

Zalewski, who was delayed, rushed forward.

He just saw the small moves of the opponent's three midfielders against Chen Xiaoliang.

How dare you fuck my brother?
Even though Pandev has been in European football for many years, he has won the Champions League and Serie A in Mourinho's Triple Crown, and has won 5 Coppa Italia with three teams in Serie A, but he is 38 years old after all. , when he met the new disciple of the former coach, he had more energy than he wanted.

Under the pressure of Zalewski, the ball he barely passed was not strong enough, and was cut off by Chen Xiaoliang who retreated.

Genoa's three midfielders were surrounded, thinking that he had finally double-teamed and let Chen Xiaoliang get the ball, why was he confused, the ball returned to his feet...

Baddeley reacted the fastest, and just as he took a step to pounce, Chen Xiaoliang turned around and made a direct pass.

Didn't you see where is Cesko?
It doesn't matter, there is a tacit connection with each other all the time!

What if there are only 13 passes?
It doesn't matter, the tacit understanding value is full, when it is passed to Cesko, it has a passing attribute of 17!
In the penalty area, Abraham, Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez, and Cristante, defending these people have already made Genoa feel like they are sitting on pins and needles, but the three midfielders went to double-team Chen Xiaoliang just now.

As the highest point of 195 centimeters, Cesko, in the Genoa penalty area, which is relatively short and has insufficient defensive forces, is simply a presence of anything and everything.

Seeing the Genoa defense line who had broken the ball and was about to lead a little forward, he was caught off guard when he saw the kick pass flying over, and quickly retreated again.

It's a pity that it was too late. Before Sirigu's attack, Cesco stretched out his left foot and used the outside instep to block the ball like a flying kick in a Kung Fu movie, and bounced the ball into the upper right corner of the goal!
In the Penguin live broadcast room, Liu Chang, the stand-up female commentator of this game, shouted in a shrill voice:

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"0 to 4!"

"Genoa is completely defeated!"

"This is Cesco's first hat-trick in Serie A and Roma!"

"Mourinho didn't give his old man Andriy Shevchenko any face!"

"Sesco is celebrating with Chen Xiaoliang!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

After calling for a while, it seemed that a staff member reminded her.

"This is also Chen Xiaoliang's first assist hat-trick in his career!"

"Let's congratulate him with applause!"

Barrage:

[What is this woman talking about? 】

[I only heard um, um, ah, the others are automatically ignored]

[One Liu Chang and one Shi Qingsheng, why would they find such a person, I will mute the sound whenever I meet them]

[This should be the best game Roma has played this season]

[Be confident, remove the should, it's too easy to score today]

[There are too many opponents, okay, I failed to win against several giants and strong teams Roma, that is the real kung fu]

[Is Chen Xiaoliang kicking like this from now on?Or a temporary guest appearance today? 】

[Mourinho didn't say it before the game, why don't you listen to it after the game]

Not only the red country fans are discussing hotly, but also European fans are also discussing.

Many of them are English and Spaniards, and they are die-hard fans of Mourinho, so they have been paying attention to his coaching performance in Rome.

Many European sports reporters have released new developments under their Latte account:
Mourinho finally found his midfield answer

"The Reds responded to the doubts from Turin with a goal"

"The Golden Boy Awards are coming soon, but the outbreak of the Red Country people can no longer change the results of the selection"

"The most ridiculous thing is that we don't even see 18-year-old Sesco in the shortlist for the Golden Boy Award"

"If Chen Xiaoliang and Cesco are Juventus players, then Pedri will definitely only be ranked third"

Facing a large number of praises for Chen Xiaoliang's stunning performance and doubts about the "Torino Sport" selection of the Golden Boy Award, Portman, who was also watching the game, was very angry.

She immediately called her gunmen.

It didn't take long for a group of counterattack posts to emerge immediately.

"Short-term brilliant performance cannot replace stable long-term performance"

"Counting Those U21 Meteor Players That Flickered"

Two awards representing the highest honor of U21 are about to be awarded, and an invisible collision has already ignited in public opinion.
