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

Chapter 209 Immortal Hero Flying Sword Appears in Rome Derby? !
Chen Xiaoliang scored the ball with just the right strength, and Pellegrini took advantage of the opportunity to kick the elevator ball.

Lazio goalkeeper Strakosha didn't dare to neglect, facing the ball from a small angle, but when the ball suddenly fell, he took a step with his right foot and hit the ball with both fists.

Sesco, who was standing in the penalty area, wanted to grab two supplementary shots, but was cleared by Lazio's 34-year-old central defender Acerbi and went out of the bottom line.

Roma wins a corner.

Faced with the strong start, Mourinho was very satisfied, but he did not expect that things that satisfied him would follow.

Pellegrini seemed to have a very smooth foot today. The elevator kick just now was not enjoyable, and he took another penalty corner kick.

The ball flew out from the left, drew an inner arc and flew towards the goal, and suddenly fell above the goal frame!
Strakosha flew to block again!
But this ball was too "thiefy", it was blocked but not far away, it just landed on Cesko's stomach who was rushing forward to grab a spot for the top!
Sesko himself was stunned for a moment!
A few days before the game, I was still watching Jia Kebo’s video with Chen Xiaoliang, thinking that I would also try his unreasonable long-range shots and forced inward shots during the game.

Unexpectedly, thousands of calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. After fighting for a long time in the penalty area, I and Acerbi finally squeezed in front of the goal, and the ball fell from the sky and hit my stomach and bounced into the goal...

Abraham, who was on the sideline bench, clapped his hands to celebrate, and sighed sourly in his heart: Why don't I have this kind of ball skills...

Roma, who scored in the first minute, did not play the usual counter-attack football after taking the lead, but actively launched a confrontation with Lazio.

The words of the head coach before the game are still in my ears. If I lose this time, not only will I not be able to catch up with AC Milan, but I will be caught up by Naples, Inter Milan and Juventus behind me.

Besides, for many players, the end of this season will enter the contract year, such as Kristante and Zalewski, who can seize the opportunity and perform well in this period can also be used in the subsequent contract renewal negotiations. Increase bargaining chips for yourself;

There are also those who may want to transfer, such as Weiletu, Carles Perez, and Mkhitaryan. The former because the club may sell him to make room for salary, and there are also gossip. Mourinho wants to loan out players who have been frustrated in the giants to enrich the team's midfield strength, and at the same time pave the way for young people's upper positions.

The list includes Manchester United's Van der Beek, Paris' Wijnaldum, and even Sassuolo's young man Fratesi.

The latter two are purely due to lack of strength or normal adjustments due to aging.

These people also want to seize the opportunity to win for themselves, and sell them at a good price in Xia Chuang so that they can play football in the next club.

No matter what the purpose is, everyone understands that these wishes can only be realized if there is an excellent result at the end of the season.

Under these psychological stimuli, the Roma players on the field attacked Lazio's penalty area wave after wave amidst the cheers and cheers of the Derby.

Chen Xiaoliang also has his own ideas.

No matter what the future holds, he must help Roma win the championship, not only for his own career, but also to repay Mourinho for giving him his first professional contract at Tottenham, which completely changed his life.

And he has a goal in his heart. He is naturally very happy to win the Copa Award when he first arrived in the five major leagues, but he hopes to be able to compete for the final list of the top 30 Golden Globe Awards in the coming year.

According to the selection criteria of the Ballon d'Or, the honors won by the team in the current year are very important, even more important than personal data, otherwise there will not be many people complaining about Lewandowski last year .

For this, he also has to do his best to help Roma achieve the best possible results and results this season.

Another important factor is that, like Chen Xiaoliang and Sesco, the Italian players in the team do not have the task of the World Cup this year. World Cup trip.

And players like Wellertu, Abraham, and Zalewski who may be on the bench even if they enter the World Cup roster, they must seize the last chance to perform well and win themselves a ticket to Qatar with the national team.

On the contrary, Milinkovic, Serbia's core player in Lazio, belongs to the kind of player who will be selected into the national team by the head coach without hesitation even if he is not in good form. Although he is still very active in the midfield, he is obviously physical. The number of confrontations is consciously reduced to protect myself from injury.

And the other players are not Marusic from Montenegro who did not enter the World Cup, or Pedro who is so famous but will not be selected by Enrique for the Spanish national team because of his age. Not in the big team, and was eliminated from the Europa League, so it is naturally a bit worse than Roma in terms of hard work.

The only exception is the striker Immobile, who has surpassed Vlahovic with 22 goals in the second half of the league and has become the current Serie A scorer. He really wants to win the Serie A Golden Boot for the fourth time in his career, so he has been running in the frontcourt , smartly choose a neutral position and echo with teammates.

But relying on him alone is far from enough.

The Roman offensive never stopped.

In the 10th minute, Roma defended Lazio's attack and launched a counterattack from the backcourt with a long pass from Mancini.

Sesco and Chen Xiaoliang made a tacit cooperation again. The former headed the ball back to Chen Xiaoliang in the frontcourt, then immediately turned around and advanced to get ready to throw off the players defending him. Chen Xiaoliang immediately passed the ball behind him. Sesco's instant launch leaves Lucas Reva behind!
Just when Cesko strode forward to dribble the ball, thinking about Jakpo's shooting method in his mind, and also wanted to dodge the blocking of the opponent's central defender at the top of the penalty area and shoot a burst shot, Pellegri in front left Ni plugged in and signaled for the ball!
Because Chen Xiaoliang was appointed by Mourinho as a central midfielder, Pellegrini did not miss the bench a while ago.

But on the bench, he didn't sit around doing nothing, complaining that he didn't have a chance to play, but he had been carefully observing Chen Xiaoliang's way of playing, especially the tacit cooperation between him and Sesco.

In terms of defense, Pellegrini knew that it was impossible for him to catch up with Chen Xiaoliang. To put it more bluntly, there were probably few players in the world who could catch up with Chen Xiaoliang in one-on-one defense.

In terms of physical fitness, he knew that he was also slightly inferior. This guy is simply equipped with a sports car but with an off-road fuel tank added.

Only in terms of offense, I still have some commendable points, such as dribbling, shooting and various small skills, which are better than Chen Xiaoliang.

However, the cooperation between Chen Xiaoliang and Cesko made up for the remaining shortcoming.

Chen Xiaoliang pulls to the wing and uses a cross to find Cesco, sends the ball to Cesco behind the long pass in the backcourt, or steals the ball in the middle and splits to let his teammates find Cesco, and then he inserts behind to attract the attention of the defensive players …

Pellegrini has been thinking about how to integrate into the frontcourt cooperation of these two people.

You know, Mourinho has been thinking about this question, how to integrate Abraham into this combination.

He let the England striker play as a winger, no matter the left or right, the effect is average;
Played with Sesco as a double center forward, the effect is slightly better, but the timing is still not good, sometimes the scoring efficiency is good, sometimes not only can't score, but also drags down Sesco's scoring efficiency.

In the end, it was the ball against the Celtics in the first round of the European Cup that gave Pellegrini an epiphany!
Cesco has scored 18 goals for the team in three competitions this season, and is the absolute number one scoring point in the team. The opponent's defensive pressure on him and the defensive force invested will only increase.

At the same time, in addition to scoring, the tall and burly Sesco also plays the role of the team's frontcourt fulcrum.

What the auxiliary attacker has to do is to use this fulcrum to move, stay away from the opponent's defensive pressure-intensive area, look for opportunities to respond, and at the same time attract as much defensive pressure as possible for Cesko.

Instead of always running to the same area as Cesco like Abraham, thinking that he can score and score.

This is easy to say, but not so easy to do.

What needs to be changed is the inertial thinking of players playing football and the styles and habits formed over time.

To put it bluntly, as the main attacker and a midfielder occupying the middle position, now he suddenly says that he wants to turn red flowers into green leaves, give way to the middle, and support left and right around the center. In the ever-changing football field, it really takes a lot of money The act of striving to adapt.

At this moment, Sesco cut in the middle, with central defender Acerbi in front of him, and he circled around on the left, attracting another central defender Luis Felipe.

The right back Marusic, who was already inward, had already run over. Luis Felipe saw someone coming to defend, and wanted to help Acerbi double-team Cesco, so that he lost his kicking space.

And Pellegrini's beckoning for the ball at this time immediately made the two defenders around him stop subconsciously!

Cesco observed this keenly, and continued to cut inside with the ball, leaning against Acerby, squeezing in like a compass.

Seeing that he has already entered the penalty area, Acerbi dare not step down blindly. In addition, Cesko's height is 195, and his legs are too long. You can hit it with one hit.

After such a delay, seeing Acerbi struggling to defend one-on-one, Luis Felipe still rushed over to double-team.

Cesko took two steps to the right, a kick!
Luis Felipe slide block!

Cesco made a dunk and a pass, and Pellegrini slanted to the small penalty area in front of the right!
The ball arrives!

Goalkeeper Strakosha jumped out and opened his body to block the shooting space!

Pellegrini shoots low!
The ball is in!
Mourinho raised his arms to celebrate, and Pellegrini's continuous running support and Sesco's final through made him very satisfied!

But when the Roma players ran halfway through the celebration, the linesman raised the flag and signaled offside.

Pellegrini immediately ran to the referee and repeatedly explained to him. The referee waved away while listening to the opinions of the video referee team in the headset.

"Beep!"

The referee finally pointed to Lazio's goal and the goal was invalidated!
Pellegrini showed an expression of disappointment that was hard to hide.

He still wanted to say something to the referee, but at this moment, Cesko who was beside him grabbed him and pulled him away.

"Brother! Don't worry! I'll send you another one later!"

Pellegrini just nodded.

On the way back, Chen Xiaoliang was standing with his hips on his hips, waiting for the goalkeeper Strakosha to kick off.

He stretched out his hand and gave Pellegrini a high-five: "It's okay, come again."

It was Lazio's turn to attack.

For a full 10 minutes, they haven't been able to complete a shot.

With 3 central defenders and 2 defensive midfielders piled up in the middle of Rome, Lazio's targeted deployment before the game is to attack from the side.

But every time the ball came to the side, Chen Xiaoliang would run over to help defend. He didn't go up to grab it, but used his position to cut off the short-pass connection between the Lazio side players and the front center players.

This has led to wide players either clinging to the wing and making a strong breakthrough, or passing back to the defender to organize.

This kind of side attack without support and transfer from the center will naturally be greatly reduced in power.

Although the 35-year-old Pedro still has footwork and skills, his speed and short-range bursts are no longer as brave as they used to be. If Immobile changes positions with him frequently, there will be one less breakthrough in the middle. point of impact.

Playing around, it always ends up passing the ball to Felipe Anderson on the right, or Milinkovic and him playing together on the wing.

Sarri's assistant coach Martucciello also saw the pertinence of Mourinho's "weird tricks" in the midfield.

"Should we change our strategy and let the full-backs press heavily? Otherwise, there will be insufficient manpower on the wings, and the offense will not be able to play like this."

Sarri thought as he sniffed his fingers.

Martucciello is right. Right now, relying on one-sided midfielders and one-sided wingers alone cannot organize a threatening attack, and Lazio's lateral transfer efficiency is not high, and it is impossible to directly attack from one side of the winger. Transferred to the winger who was watched by the Roman winger on the other side, he had to pass back to the center back to make a short pass transfer, and then the other side back launched an attack.

Sarri's original arrangement was to keep the four defenders inward as much as possible to prevent Rome's quick counterattack. Instead of betting on the wing, it is better to shrink the defense line and watch the scoring point in the center.

But now he is 1 goal behind. If it were not for offside, the game would have almost lost its suspense.

Deciding to gamble, he nodded to Martusciello.

Martuciello immediately stood up and walked to the sidelines, yelled at the players a few times and raised his hand to make tactical gestures.

Seeing the head coach change tactics and order to press the attack, Lazio's players were refreshed.

After all, most players like to attack and press up when playing football. The touting of pass control in the past ten years has made many players obsessed with repeatedly controlling the ball with their feet.

After all, there are only a few players who really like to put on the bus and focus on defensive counterattacks.

This is true in Europe, not to mention unrestrained South America.

The two sides had been attacking and defending each other for a while. In the 21st minute, Marusic on the right side of Lazio was double-teamed and chose to pass back to the central defender Acerbi.

Acerbi did not move to the left after receiving the ball, but directly hit the back of the Roman central defender with a long pass.

A blue figure inserted at high speed, passing through Smolin and Ibanez in an instant!

Seeing that the closed door had not been closed, the two people slipped in, and hurriedly chased it back at full speed.

The ball fell from a high altitude, Immobile jumped forward, stretched his legs in mid-air to unload the ball, but at this moment, the speed stopped, Ibanez caught up from behind and stabbed the ball, Fuzato Hit the ball and knock it to the ground.

"Hurry up!"

Forzato wanted to pounce on the ground for a while, when he heard Ibañez urging himself in Portuguese.

He immediately "woke up" and quickly got up and threw the ball to Binia on the right.

Why is it right?Because Mourinho said before the game that the offense in this game should play more on the right.

Although the 35-year-old Pedro has a positive defensive attitude, his age determines that his defensive efficiency is not much higher. This is one of the reasons why Mourinho let Pedro leave when he came to Rome.

For him, not to mention that the winger has to defend, even the center forward must obey the tactics and retreat to defend when necessary.For this reason, during the period of coaching Real Madrid, there were disputes with Ronaldo.

In addition to Pedro's weak defense, Milinkovic, the most comprehensive of Lazio's three midfielders, is responsible for the defense on the left side of Roma, and Alberto on the right side is also weaker in defense.

With such a weakness, how can I let it go?

Sure enough, Viña and Cristante made a two-for-one, passing Pedro easily, and then facing Alberto, Viña didn't stick the ball at all, and passed it directly to the running over to respond Pellegrini.

Before the ball reached Pellegrini's feet, he made a pass.

Just when everyone thought that he was going to play a two-on-one with Binia again, he kicked the ball to the right side of the penalty area!
Lucas Leiva, who ran over to defend Pellegrini, looked at the flying football and suddenly felt that something was missing around him.

In a trance, he caught a glimpse of Sesco who was moving into the penalty area, saw Viña who was still on the right in front of him, and Pellegrini who was passing the ball in front of his eyes.

wrong!What about that person? !Where is Chen Xiaoliang? !

The red number 33 has already rushed to the right side, and Lazio left back Hisai didn't notice him at all!
Lucas Leiva was startled, and then relaxed again.

fine!It is very difficult to catch this kind of high ball in a sprint state. He remembered that Chen Xiaoliang was clearly a "rough guy" who couldn't even catch high-altitude balls stably.

A second later, Lucas Leiva watched Chen Xiaoliang jump up and glide forward, stretching out his right leg to hook the ball with Immobile's movement just now, although it is not light and easy, but still the ball is steady Got it under control!
Many exclamation points flashed in Lucas Leiva's heart again!

While returning to the penalty area, he thought to himself again, Chen Xiaoliang's position after receiving the ball was too close to the baseline!There are already 6 players from Lazio returning to the small penalty area to defend. Even if he makes a pass again, it is impossible for the receiver to forcefully compete for the top among so many people!

His thought flashed, and Chen Xiaoliang raised his right foot immediately!
It's time to pass!
At this time, Lucas Leiva had already run near the penalty spot, beside him was Alberto who also returned to defense, and behind him was right back Marusic.

The only Roman players in the penalty area are Cesco and Pellegrini.

Cesko has overdone his head and almost ran into the goal. It is impossible to catch the ball in this position. The goalkeeper can take the ball away by jumping up, and there is no way to sweep the ball low and sweep the goal. There are so many people gathered in the small penalty area. Anyone can block the ball with just a stretch of foot, no passing lanes at all!
Although Pellegrini has a good position, he has Alberto and Luis Felipe around him, and he is not good at heading, so he is even less threatening!

This ball has no chance!

Certainly not!

And in an instant, Lucas Leiva saw a white flying shadow flash in front of his eyes!

half high ball? !How is this high?Could it be that the instep of the outer foot is going to turn in the door? !

impossible!The ball has no arc, it is straight!
not good!Could it be? !

I saw the ball pass through the gap between Chisay, Alberto, and Acerbi, and flew towards Sesco!

This kind of fast half-high ball can't be raised to block it, and the goalkeeper Strakosha, who is guarding the near post, can't reach the ball.

Cesko, who was about to rush to the goal line, saw the ball flying, and immediately took a step forward, swung his left arm outwards, his body immediately leaned to the left, raised his right foot, his body seemed to be parallel to the ground, and used an extremely beautiful side hook to catch the ball. The ball bounced into the goal!
At that moment, countless "Damn!!!" barrages appeared on the screen of the Penguin Sports live broadcast room!
Cesco got up excitedly and rushed to the stands of Roma fans covered with red uniforms and flags to celebrate with the diehard fans!
Roma players also rushed over excitedly!

Even the goalkeeper Fuzzato wanted to rush over!

Lucas Leiva, who was brainstorming all the way, did not expect this ball to end like this!

But even he had to say something in his heart when he was depressed:
This ball is so beautiful...

As soon as He Wei, who explained this field, came to such a moment, he would be very poetic:

"This wonderful goal reminds me of the scene in Xianxia novels. Chen Xiaoliang is like a sword passer with unfathomable sword skills. His cross is like sending a sword across a thousand miles, passing through all defenses. Seth Ke is the one who receives the sword, soaring into the air and stabbing the flying sword into the opponent's fatal point!"

"And it's not just the Lazio players on the field who are pierced in the heart, but also the Lazio fans in the stands that are as silent as dead silence at the moment!"

"In the past, there was a Sisko, who swung his sword in all directions. The viewers were as depressed as mountains, and the sky and the earth were depressed for a long time!"

Barrage:
