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

Chapter 212 The brave who meet in a narrow road wins!

Chen Xiaoliang stepped out with his right foot, ready to run!

Lazio goalkeeper Strakosha is on the verge of a formidable enemy!

Since it is 30 meters away from the goal and a bit to the right of the center, in order to prevent the opponent's tactical free kick, through pass or split pass, only 3 people are lined up in the wall.

Milinkovic, Alberto and Felipe Anderson covered their chest and crotch, and looked at Chen Xiaoliang nervously.

These people have all witnessed him kick a super long shot at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour from 180 meters away. If the ball hits someone with this kind of leg strength...

Thinking of this, the three of them gripped a little tighter...

And because of the small number of walls, Strakosha's original position was to stand in the middle of the goal.

But now seeing Chen Xiaoliang's preparatory actions like Ronaldo's, and his straight run-up line, he decided that Chen Xiaoliang must kick the same elevator ball as Ronaldo.

This is Ronaldo's action! I don't know where Ronaldo's elevator balls are going!

Although he was sitting off the pitch in the last derby and the goalkeeper was old goalkeeper Reina, he also knew that Chen Xiaoliang had strong legs.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously moved to the right, worried that Chen Xiaoliang's free kick would hit the left side of the goal without the protection of the wall.

Unexpectedly, just as Chen Xiaoliang took a step, Pellegrini started it!

With the fastest speed, he stepped forward with his left foot, a total of four small steps, and hit the bottom of the ball with his right foot, with a push of the arch of his foot and a flick of his ankle!
A curveball flew obliquely to the upper right and passed the wall of people!

Then it landed at the highest point and flew back to the left!

Even if Strakosha knew he had been cheated, he didn't have time to think about it, so he moved desperately to his left side, then kicked his left foot, stretched his body to the left, and opened his left hand straight!

Admittedly, the 27-year-old goalkeeper with dual citizenship of Albania and Greece is definitely a safe and reliable goalkeeper. His left hand has reached the dead corner of the upper right corner of the goal where the crossbar and the goalpost intersect. It is already the limit range of the goalkeeper to save.

But he encountered a super free kick, a gorgeous arc across, the ball flew into the legendary "ten corner", and flew into the goal close to the dead corner of the upper right corner!

In the 40th minute, Roma led 3-0!

Pellegrini rushed to the sidelines excitedly, slid his knees, and dragged two long scratches on the turf.

The Roma teammates behind him rushed over and pressed him to the ground. Even Mourinho, who was beside him, ran over happily and patted the pile of people who had formed a hill.

He Wei: "We can see that Mourinho is very happy. The attitude and unity shown by the Roma team today, coupled with the super excellent state, make Mourinho, who will be 10 years old in 60 months, Mourinho is full of passion and anticipation like he returned to 20 years ago when he led Porto to celebrate on the sidelines of Old Trafford!"

"This is a blessing for Italian football, and it is even more a blessing for European football! Although there are still 8 rounds in the league, we are looking forward to the success of the champion coach who is full of merits next season. New disciples, reappearing to compete with the best teams at the highest level of European football."

Not long after the celebration, the first half ended in Rome's downfall.

Mourinho didn't mention any tactical details in the locker room. Today's performance was impeccable in every aspect, and it would be counterproductive to pick the bones.

But he still told a "story", or "accident".

2020年10月4日，在老特拉福德，穆里尼奥带领热刺1比6在客场实现了一场狂胜。

Although there was Martial's red card factor in that game and Maguire's "suicide defense" gift, but in the final analysis, the huge difference in the fighting spirit and state of the players on both sides led to the final disparity in the score.

There are many such examples. Go forward to April 2007, 4, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, also at Old Trafford. Manchester United played a 11-1 victory over Roma. 4 to 7 advanced to the semi-finals.

In the long football career of a coach and a player, the state is always ups and downs. This game is better, and the next game is worse. As long as it is within a reasonable range, it is acceptable.

But there are always times when the whole team is in a very high state, or everyone is in a state of no state.

2018年的4月10日，同样是罗马、同样是欧冠1/4决赛，在所有人的前赴后继拼死一搏下，那支红狼军团3比0惊天逆转了拥有梅西的巴塞罗那。

In that game, Manolas' hysteria, De Rossi's composure, Dzeko's perseverance, and the sea of ​​red and yellow that fell into madness have become the last good memories of Roma fans in recent years.

However, the final score can only represent the result of the match, but it does not prove that the strength of the two sides is as disparate as the score.

Football is round, and if the same two teams play another game, it may be another score.

Therefore, Mourinho warned everyone in the locker room not to doubt themselves because of a big defeat, and similarly, not to underestimate their opponents because of a big lead.

He hopes that in the second half the team can return to the court with the same mentality and requirements, treat the game as if it had just begun, respect the opponent, and be ready to meet the opponent's tactical changes.

In the locker room, the players listened quietly and attentively to Mourinho sharing his experiences and insights like telling a story.

If we talk about tactics, many people will criticize Mourinho's conservativeness, stubbornness, and even say that he is unrepentant and ugly, but few people question his ability to motivate players and manipulate psychology.

One of the most classic scenes happened during the Inter Milan period.

On the night of winning the Champions League, Mourinho announced that he would leave Inter Milan and go to Real Madrid to coach.

Materazzi, who played the devil in the 2006 World Cup final and humiliated Zinedine Zidane for a head-butt red card, was refusing to get on the team bus outside the car park like a child. Standing at a distance, watching Mourinho's car leave, weeping while watching.

Mourinho, who had already got into the car and started the car, spotted him, stopped the driver immediately, got out of the car, and walked over to hug Materazzi.

The Italian defender hugged Mourinho tightly, crying bitterly and unable to help himself.

And that year, he was 37 years old, and he was already an old player who was used to all kinds of big scenes. But in the media interview later, he told reporters that not only him, but also the captain Zanetti who was also 37 years old at the time Almost everyone, including them, cried when they learned that Mourinho was leaving.

And this kind of emotion is not temporary, it is long-term.

Since then, whenever Mourinho is mentioned in front of him, no matter where Mourinho is, whether he is successful, whether he has encountered criticism from the outside world because of his personality, whether he has become the head coach of a competing club, including Materazzi , Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Terry, Drogba, and even Zanetti, who has become the vice chairman of Inter Milan, still praised him and insisted on it.

Now, it seems the same plot is starting to play out in Roma's dressing room.

Although this team is still young in general, and has not reached the strength that Inter Milan and Chelsea were able to sweep everything in the country and compete with Zhu Xiongyi in Europe, it is clear that they are already on the right track.

After the start of the second half, Sarri did make a change.

He removed Pedro, who had been unable to withstand the whirlwind running of Rome in defense, and replaced the 28-year-old Italian midfielder Cataldi. When attacking, Milinkovic and Cataldi are more like left and right midfielders. Only Immobile and Felipe Anderson are left in front, and the formation is closer to 4-3-3.

While defending, Milinkovic and Cataldi acted as full-backs. With the other two midfielders protecting the penalty area, the two of them and the two full-backs formed a bilateral guard combination to strengthen the side. Lu's defense can also respond more quickly to the lateral transfer of the fast long pass initiated by Chen Xiaoliang.

In this move, even Foti, who has always insisted on talking less and doing more, couldn't help saying to Mourinho: "Sarri is really a respectable coach."

Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, and the head coach makes targeted adjustments in a timely manner according to the opponent's tactical arrangements. This seems simple, but it is not easy.

The authorities are obsessed, the bystanders are clear, and there is randomness in the performance of the players, so many head coaches will be criticized by their fans as "sitting on the sidelines and watching the game."

And there are some head coaches who like to gamble. Even if they see their own weaknesses being caught by their opponents, they will let the players attack the opponent's weaknesses to see who is the one who hurts the enemy a thousand and who is the one who hurts himself. .

For example, Inter Milan, coached by Benitez in the second year after the Triple Crown, faced Bell's Tottenham, who was heading towards the top, in the Champions League.

Everyone can see that Maicon has been scummed, but he is still on the court and continues to be scummed.

Therefore, Sarri's pragmatic, fast, and effective adjustment of tactics at this moment really made Mourinho and Foti praise him.

Sometimes stop loss is also a way to make up for it.

Lazio had almost no chance in the second half, and although Roma could still create shooting opportunities, under Lazio's effective and reasonable multi-layer defense, the threat level was greatly reduced.

In the 60th minute, Sarri changed another player, replacing Hisai with Lazari, so as to avoid the decline in the strength of the side defense after the decline in physical strength.

In the 64th minute, Mourinho also started to make substitutions. Abraham, Volpato, and Zalewski came on the field, replacing Cesco, Wellertu, and Binia.

But Chen Xiaoliang will definitely stay on the court.

The entry of two energetic teenagers has promoted the fast movement of the ball, but Cesco's exit has greatly reduced the ability to stand in the penalty area.

Abraham was quickly lost in Lazio's dense penalty area defense. Under this density, it is difficult for him to get enough space to catch the ground pass of his teammate without the advantage of high-altitude balls.

Seeing that Mourinho is in a good mood today, Foti leaned over and asked, "Jose, replace Cesco, it seems that there is no way to create a threat in the penalty area."

Mourinho nodded and asked, "Then what do you think is the most threatening?"

After observing for a while, Foti made it clear that Mourinho was not asking a difficult rhetorical question, but an investigative question, and then replied: "There must be a fulcrum."

Mourinho continued to nod, but changed the topic: "I just want Tammy (Abraham) to understand why he can't be the fulcrum, why he can only sit on the bench and watch Sesco start. He is always unwilling to break through himself, let alone the World Cup, he can only play as a winger or a backup center with me."

Although the conversation between the two was not very loud, Wu Lei who was sitting behind them could still hear it.

In the Red Country, there is an old saying that "a famous teacher makes a good student", but the facts have proved that a good teacher cannot make a good student, and only a strict teacher can tap the greatest potential of a student.

Van Gaal reused his 22-year-old Van der Sar, 16-year-old Seedorf and others to lead Ajax to the top of Europe in 95;

The class of 92 under Ferguson and later Ronaldo and Rooney all experienced his "hair dryer" without exception. Similarly, these people have also achieved brilliant career achievements.

These people are not born with self-discipline and diligence. They all know that under the strict requirements of the head coach, they gradually realized the inner requirements of perseverance in their careers.

It is very difficult for people to take the initiative to step out of their comfort zone.

For Abraham, Cesko is his comfort zone. The dirty and tiring work of blocking positions, grabbing points, fighting for the top, and attracting the attention of the opponent's defense is all done for him. He only needs to be a wingman and look for two points. Empty to shoot.

However, this also means that once Cesco leaves, Abraham is just an excellent striker, definitely not a top player.

Both Rooney and Benzema have been green leaves for Ronaldo. With Ronaldo, they don't need to undertake most of the offensive tasks, but when Ronaldo leaves, the two can also support the ball with their comprehensive abilities The team's offensive responsibility.

This is what Mourinho is asking of Abraham now, and he also hopes that Ji'an on the bench can see it clearly.

With the decline in physical strength, the intensity of Rome's siege gradually decreased, and Lazio began to have more opportunities to move forward.

In the 70th minute, seeing that Mourinho had no intention of replacing himself, Chen Xiaoliang called out the system:
Stamina Recovery Card 2 → 1
In the 72nd minute, Pellegrini's pass was destroyed by Acerbi. Milinkovic overwhelmed Volpato to grab the ball. A long-distance through ball was handed over to Felipe Anderson, who had just played. 17-year-old striker Luca Romero.

Born on November 2004, 11, Luca Romero, who is half a year younger than Chen Xiaoliang, beats Malaysia after receiving the ball. He is good at playing the right winger position. He is the future that Lazio bought from La Liga Mallorca last year. The star, like many Argentine attackers, speed is also Luca Romero's strength.

Luca Romero at 165 faced Malaysia at 169. The two ran one after the other, rushing and chasing on the right side of Lazio.

After reaching the distance, seeing that Luca Romero was about to enter the offensive third zone and prepare to cross, Malacia reached out and grabbed Luca Romero's shoulder.

Seeing that the Argentine teenager was about to be overtaken, he immediately cut inside. Only then did Malaysia realize that the kid he was defending was a left-footed player!

It's a pity that he found out too late, and he hit the Argentine's back before he had time to brake, and knocked the thin, high-speed sprinting teenager directly onto the turf.

"Beep!"

The referee showed Malaysia a yellow card and awarded Lazio a free kick on the right side of the penalty area and off the touchline.

Finally, there was a chance to attack with a set kick in the frontcourt. Several Lazio midfielders moved up. They also knew that four-fifths of the game had passed, and the physical strength of the Roma players had entered a bottleneck. As fast as ever.

Qatardi took a free kick from the right and passed it directly into the penalty area!
Lazio's players rushing to the top of the penalty area stood in a row, and rushed forward neatly after the ball was taken!

Milinkovic, who was at the back point, saw the ball flying towards him, and there were no Roma players close to him, so he calculated the distance and jumped high!

Just when the ball in the air was 3 meters away from his forehead, a person rushed out from the goal post, leaped high, and headed towards the landing point!

Milinkovic glanced out of the corner of his eye, it was Chen Xiaoliang!

The distance between the two of them gliding in the air is getting closer and closer, and the ball is getting closer and closer to the landing point!

Milinkovic found that Chen Xiaoliang didn't want to block the ball. When the distance was not enough, he, like himself, was going to push the ball out with his forehead!
In an instant, the stretched waists and abdomen of the two curled up at the same time!Both foreheads smashed to both sides of the ball at the same time!
Seeing that their heads were about to hit each other, Milinkovic was betting whether Chen Xiaoliang would back down!
This is a game for the brave!

The narrow road meets the brave to win!
