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

Chapter 230 A new opponent!Dutch genius striker Gakpo!

Chen Xiaoliang was checking the system panel while watching the match between AC Milan and Lazio.

In this game, with 4 steals, 4 interceptions, 2 headers and a scoring hat-trick, he was duly named the best player of the game, and his score was still 10 points.

This gives him 14 training points and 1 stamina recovery card.

Training value 4 → 18
Stamina Recovery Card 1 → 2
The most important thing is that he completed the task of [achieve a hat-trick in the next game] for the second time, and won [reward: any technical attribute +2]!
Since the task rewards cannot be kept forever, they must be used as soon as possible, and they cannot be used to increase the attributes of 18 and above, so after hesitating between long-range shooting and passing, he chose passing first.

Pass 16 → 17
Regardless of the position in the midfield, passing the ball is a more important and more frequent task than long-range shooting.

Then there are two special missions [Rich Family Mission] and [Old Enemy Mission].

This game won the Inter Milan, so it is natural to get a star card that can be rewarded by the giant mission!
[Exclusive mission: win when facing the giants]

[Task Reward: Randomly get a Legendary Star Card (5 minutes) of the giants]

[Mission Progress: Against Inter Milan (April 2022, 4)]

[Task Reward: Obtain a Peak Eto'o Speed ​​Attribute Card (5 minutes)]

!!!

Although Eto'o only stayed at Inter Milan for 2 seasons, in these 2 seasons, he not only helped Inter Milan win an unprecedented treble, but also helped the team win the Club World Cup in the second season Champion, and broke Ronaldo's record of 2 goals in a single season in Inter Milan with 37 goals in all competitions in a single season.

Chen Xiaoliang specially checked it. After using this attribute card, both the burst and speed attributes can be changed to 5 within 19 minutes!

Although it is still close to the peak, this level of short-distance explosive start and the fastest speed are enough to instantly kill 99.9% of players!

Next up is the Nemesis mission with Barrera.

[Enemy Mission: In this game, the enemy's passes, steals, interceptions, headers, and assists are all less than the host's and no goals are scored]

[Restrictions: After the game, the player's score, the enemy's score is lower than the host's score]

[Mission Reward: 1 legendary star cards of the team where the enemy belongs]

【任务进度：传球98-82，抢断4-3，拦截4-1，争顶2-0，助攻0-0、进球3-0】

[Restrictions: After the game, the player's score, the enemy's score is lower than the host's score]

[Task Progress: Score 10-7.0]

[Mission Reward: 1 legendary star cards of the team where the enemy belongs]

But when Chen Xiaoliang reached out to press the reward, the system popped up another line of reminders...

【Dong dong dong! 】

[One of the host's six data is not higher than the old enemy, and the reward is downgraded]

[Task Reward: Obtain a commemorative card from Nicolo Varela's 2020-21 Serie A Championship season collection]

Ouch I'm going!

Chen Xiaoliang jumped up from the bed!

Why do I need his card!
Or a memorial card, I commemorate him? !What does it matter to me that Inter Milan won the championship? !
Chen Xiaoliang hurriedly asked the system: "Can you change one for me?!"

If there is no response from the system, then it is impossible...

He had no choice but to put this card with Barrera's face in the system's card bag, and use it as a material card for increasing points in the future...

On TV, the match between AC Milan and Lazio was equally fierce. In the first half, Immobile scored a goal, Giroud equalized the score in the second half, and Tonali scored another goal in the 89th minute to help AC Milan reverse the away game.

Seeing Giroud equalize, Cesko and Wu Lei ran to Chen Xiaoliang's room to watch together.

In the end, in the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Milinkovic forced a pass from the bottom, and Immobile rushed to the goal, grabbing a spot in front of the goal and hitting the net!

At that moment, cheers broke out in more than a dozen rooms on the upper and lower adjacent floors of the hotel!
In the end, Lazio tied AC Milan at home. The Rossoneri still ranked first with 76 points, but the gap between the second-ranked Roma and them has narrowed to 1 point.

In the two days after the group returned to Rome, other competitions also came out with results.

Juventus beat Sassuolo 1-2 away, Naples overturned 3-2 away and fell at the feet of Empoli.

Inter Milan narrowly escaped death. Unexpectedly, Naples lost the chain at a critical moment and gave them such a big gift, so they still ranked fourth with 64 points and a 2-point advantage. Naples still struggled in fifth place with 4 points. With 62 points, he sits alone in third place.

But after returning home, Helena tested Chen Xiaoliang's body condition and the result was not very good.

After nearly a whole season, and in most of the games, not only played the whole court, but also ran and fought in a large area endlessly, which made Chen Xiaoliang's muscle fatigue no longer recoverable through the existing schedule.

If you want to recover completely, you must stop training and extra training, or you must not play or play less in some games, otherwise the fatigue will continue to increase, which may cause chronic injuries.

But the last 4 league rounds, 1 Coppa Italia final and 2 Euro Cup semi-finals are extremely important. If the Euro Cup breaks through to the semi-finals, there are still 4 games left in the end of April and May. The game is to be played.

The final round of Serie A will be on May 5, and the European Cup final will be on May 20.

It is equivalent to playing 28 games in 8 days, an average of 3 and a half days, and the burden is not insignificant.

Helena sent the test results to the club's chief team doctor Manara. Based on Helena's data and the club's daily evaluation, Manara suggested to Mourinho that Chen Xiaoliang should stop training for a week.

However, Manala also truthfully conveyed Chen Xiaoliang's opinion. He does not want to be completely out of practice, which will lead to a decline in his state.

Of course, that's what he said in name, but in fact he was reluctant to waste the good time and miss the training points that he could accumulate.

Mourinho hesitated and discussed for a long time with the team doctor and the director of sports science, and finally decided that Chen Xiaoliang would only participate in tactical training and aerobic training with a minimum amount of exercise to maintain his state, and would not participate in physical fitness and internal confrontation.

This also ensures that 3 hours of training per day is still available.

Three days later, on April 3, the team flew to Eindhoven, the Netherlands, to participate in the first round of the semi-finals of the Europa League and challenge this veteran Eredivisie team.

埃因霍温俱乐部成立于1913年8月31日，曾于1987-88赛季夺得过一次欧冠冠军，在1978-88赛季获得过一次联盟杯，并一共获得过24次荷甲联赛冠军，最近的一次是2017-18赛季。

Although the domestic limelight has been completely overshadowed by Ajax in recent years, in this season, they have defeated this old rival in the final on April 4, won the Dutch Cup, and won the first prize at the beginning of the season. Dutch Super Cup.

Although the opponent is in the limelight, for Roma, who are playing away, there is also news that is beneficial to the team before the game.

Eindhoven's leading striker Zahavi and German midfielder Gotze were suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, while rising supernova Cody Gakpo was exempted due to a hamstring discomfort.

Due to the two-round schedule of the first guest and then the host, Mourinho re-appointed three central defenders in the first game, played by Ibanez, Smalling and Kumbra;
The left and right wing backs are Spinazzola and Binia, and Malaysia and Celik, who have been fighting continuously, take turns in this game;
In the defensive midfielder position, Volpato and Christante start;
The double midfielders are Pellegrini and Mkhitaryan, and the center chooses to start Abraham, who has been in good form recently.

Chen Xiaoliang and Sesco are also resting this round and did not start.

Mourinho's requirements in the locker room are very simple. Today, he mainly focuses on bus defense, fast counterattack, and all possessions. Let him go to hell.
Facing Roger Schmidt's PSV Eindhoven's frenzied high-post pressing, Roma's rotation players gradually took control of the rhythm of the game after being uncomfortable in the first 10 minutes.

Although the ball possession rate was only an astonishing 29%, relying on a skillful quick counterattack, Roma was still in the 59th minute of the second half. Mkhitaryan made a quick push to Abraham, who scored from the far corner.

This is also the 6th goal Abraham scored in the European Cup this season, the highest in the team.

Wu Lei and teenager Dahlbo also got a long-lost chance to play in the 66th minute of the second half.

Winning the away game with 1 goal naturally satisfied Mourinho, not to mention allowing some of the main players to get a rest.

After the whole team returned to Rome, they began to prepare for the final match in May.

The first game is against Bologna, which is ranked 5th in the standings, at home on the evening of May 1.

As a day earlier, AC Milan had already defeated Fiorentina 1-0 at home, and Portuguese winger Leo scored the only goal, so the pressure came to Roma again.

Facing Bologna, which has no desires and desires, can't enter the European war, and can't fall down.Mourinho sent all the main players, mainly in the 4-1-3-2 formation, Chen Xiaoliang served as the single midfielder, Cesco and Abraham played together on the forward line to strengthen the offensive ability in the penalty area.

Roma besieged the whole court, and the ball possession rate reached 66%, but the old problem of being good at counterattacks and not good at positional warfare still cannot be solved.

Since there are no players who are good at breaking through with the ball in a small space, Roma is always unable to pull out the space when facing the opponent's dense defense.

Although Zaniolo has good dribble data, ranking 2th in Serie A with 6 dribbles per game, he is 190 tall and is better at counterattacking in open areas, using his body and speed advantages to change direction Extraordinary.

Embroidery work in the dense restricted area is not his strong point.

Finally, in the 77th minute, Abraham was knocked down by the opponent's 35-year-old central defender Medel when he was competing for a corner kick. The referee gave Roma a penalty kick, and Cesko quickly fixed the score at 1-0.

Although the score is not good, the 3 points in hand are real.

第35轮联赛，那不勒斯主场6比1狂胜萨索洛，积65分继续排在第5；

Inter Milan defeated Udinese 1-2 in an away game, accumulating 67 points and resolutely defending their 4th ranking;
AC Milan 1-0 Fiorentina, accumulating 79 points, still leading Roma by 1 point, now the competition is who makes mistakes first;

Juventus defeated Venice 2-1 at home, accumulating 70 points, and continued to lead the fourth-placed Inter Milan by one win.

Chen Xiaoliang was replaced by Dahlbo in the 81st minute, which was considered a chance to rest.

After passing the mission in this game, he gained a total of 3 training points and 2 stamina recovery cards.

Due to the siege of the whole field, Bologna's counterattack was almost non-threatening. There were only 4 shots and 1 shot on goal in the whole game, so the physical energy consumption of the offensive side was not large. It was rare for Chen Xiaoliang not to use the physical recovery card during the game.

从国米赛后4月23日一直到5月5日这12天时间里，除去两场比赛与奔赴客场的路途，陈小亮一共有9天参加了球队合练，总共得到27点训练值。

Training value 18 → 48
Stamina Recovery Card 2 → 4
He took out 40 training points to improve dribbling and stopping.

Dribble 14→15
Stop the ball 14→15
Training value 48 → 8
At 5:5 on May 20th, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the second round of the Europa League semi-finals started on time.

If the loss in the first round was due to the lack of generals, then Eindhoven played at full strength in this game.

In the forward line, the right winger is Japan's national football team Anru, who was selected for the World Cup list, the center is Zahavi, who has won the top scorer twice in the Red Super League, and the left winger is the new main striker of the Netherlands World Cup, Koe, who was hand-picked by Van Gaal. Dee Jacopo.

In the middle of the midfield is Mario Gotze, who kicked Messi's dream of winning the World Cup in 2014. He became famous in Dortmund and played a very beautiful personal performance under Klopp.

Later, he joined Bayern "betrayed" before the Champions League final between Dortmund and Bayern Munich, but failed to perform as expected and was sold back to Dortmund.

But Klopp had already left Liverpool at that time, and the subsequent head coaches failed to bring Gotze back to his original performance.In this way, the once hopeful star of German football was resold to PSV Eindhoven. After staying for 2 seasons, he will be confirmed to join the Frankfurt team of the Bundesliga next season.

To the right of Gotze, midfielder Gutierrez, who was selected for Mexico's World Cup squad;

On his left is Ivory Coast international Sangal.

At the back line, the right back is the Brazilian Mauro, the left back is the German Max, and the two center backs are the Dutch Tezer Jordan and the Brazilian Ramalho.

The goalkeeper is Mwogo, the substitute goalkeeper of the Swiss national team.

Judging from the lineup, Eindhoven has the usual characteristics of Dutch clubs-top-heavy.

The three players who will participate in the World Cup are concentrated in the midfield.

In the Netherlands, which has a fixed 4-3-3 formation, many teams like to focus on the midfielder, especially the offensive players, while among the defensive players in the midfield, they tend to buy some players with high social status and reputation. Low utility players.

Roma is still a three-central defense defensive formation. Mourinho hopes that the team can hold on to a one-goal lead in the total score, and at the same time score another one through counterattacks to completely kill the game.

After the game started, what Chen Xiaoliang expected happened.

In his view, with Jacques' current evaluation of him by the media and professionals, his worth of 4500 million euros, and his 22-year-old age, he is fully qualified to become his old enemy and start the "Old Enemy Mission".

The system did indeed send out a reminder after Jakebo kicked off:
【Detected enemy】

[Enemy Mission: In this game, the enemy has no goals or assists]

[Restrictions: After the game, the player's score, the enemy's score is lower than the host's score]

[Mission Reward: 1 legendary star cards of the team where the enemy belongs]

However, Chen Xiaoliang never imagined that just 7 minutes after the opening, Gakpo was on the left side of the penalty area, received a half-high pass from Gotze, and directly volleyed with his right foot against Matic's defense.

The ball drew a scimitar-like trajectory in the air and pierced directly through the city gate of Rome, leaving Patricio dumbfounded and unresponsive.

The score also became 0 to 1, and the total score of the two sides was evened 1 to 1.

As soon as the goal was scored, not only overthrew Mourinho's plan to keep the overall lead, but also shattered Chen Xiaoliang's old enemy mission.

This was the first time that Chen Xiaoliang's task was destroyed by his opponent not long after the start of the game, which actually made him more interested in Jia Kebo.

Like the previous league match between Meazza and Inter Milan, Dutch coach Van Gaal appeared in the stands again in this game.

But Davis was not accompanied today.

The old coach did not come here to inspect Gakpo, after all, he is already one of the core plans of the Dutch team for the World Cup.

The old coach is very interested in what will be the result of this Dutch supernova facing the Red Country genius in Rome.

Coincidentally, Chen Xiaoliang also thought so.

Seeing that Jia Kebo's flexible speed and changing positions are constantly tormenting the right side area where Celik and Matic are in charge of defense, Chen Xiaoliang decided to withdraw his position a little bit, to help the two defend, and to meet this player head-on. The Dutch striker, on the other hand, received the ball immediately and launched a quick counterattack during the transition between offense and defense.
