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

Chapter 241 No need to find a mole in Rome this time

The next day, Mourinho still gave the main players a holiday, and Chen Xiaoliang felt tired for the first time.

When I went out for a run with Sesco in the morning, my legs were rusty.

On the one hand, the fatigue accumulated during the season cannot be eliminated in a short time, and on the other hand, there is always concern in my heart.

Tonight's match between AC Milan and Atalanta will be crucial to the fate of Roma.

Not only Chen Xiaoliang felt tired, but Cesko also felt tired. Before he played for Red Bull Salzburg, he played up to 20 times in a season, and many of them came off the bench.

Although he gained a lot of goals after coming to Rome this season, his ability and confidence have improved significantly. His double-double results of 17 goals in the league and a total of 25 goals and 10 assists in all competitions have also made him a favorite in European football. , But even a young player like him can find that under such a high degree of fatigue, his recent scoring efficiency has dropped significantly.

In the last 4 games of the three competitions, only one goal was scored in the second round semi-final of the European Cup against Eindhoven, and the remaining 3 games failed.

So this also makes Cesco wonder why Chen Xiaoliang has exploded recently, especially in the two key games against the Milan duo, scoring 6 goals and sending 1 direct assist. described.

Chen Xiaoliang didn't understand it himself, but he always felt that when he played in a strong team, his concentration and anti-interference would be better.

After thinking about it, he found that the hidden attribute should be at work.

Just as other attributes can surpass most players when they reach 15, the pressure resistance and leadership of the original 15 are also enough to allow him to avoid most of the negative factors such as game pressure and harassment from opposing fans when facing giants and important games .

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but recall the scene of being passed by Rogers when I was nervous and dazed when I first played in the Tottenham youth training finale.

Time is so fast, in a blink of an eye, it is already... In fact, it was 2 years ago.

In the afternoon, I had some physical therapy at home. In the evening, Riise and Sesco came together, not only to watch the game, but also to discuss the next contract renewal.

Chen Xiaoliang's contract renewal has been fully negotiated. In view of the recent super-hot state, club owner Dan Friedkin personally intervened to cancel the ladder-style weekly salary pricing, and instead signed a five-year period after the end of the Serie A season. A contract with a fixed weekly salary of 5 million euros (weekly salary of 1100) plus a floating bonus of 21 million.

This does not include goal and assist bonuses.

The termination fee is also in accordance with the prior mutual confirmation of the two parties, and a one-time termination fee of 1.5 million euros has been set for Italian foreign clubs.

Coincidentally, the last round of Serie A this season is on May 5th, and Chen Xiaoliang's 20th birthday happens to be on May 18st. The core, but also announced the club's ambition and dedication to continue to win the championship.

Sesco, who is also represented by Riise, will soon sign a big contract with an annual salary of 600 million euros + a bonus clause of 100 million.

The next step is to communicate about the club's transfer and team building next season. As the core of the club's team building, this point is written in black and white in the contract. In the future, the transfer of the club's first team, whether it is a sale or a signing, will be notified in advance Chen Xiaoliang, and asked for his opinion.

However, this point is not for Chen Xiaoliang to decide on signings, but the club wants to see from his perspective whether the new aid can meet the actual needs of the team, and whether the players who are about to leave will affect the lineup.

Chen Xiaoliang was not interested in this kind of thing that is easy to touch the head coach's inverse scale, and this kind of clause was originally set up for certain core players in some big clubs, but since Mbappé was jokingly promoted to "Mbappe" Director", and publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Paris Saint-Germain's signings and team building, which aroused strong discussions among fans and the media circle. This approach of core participation in team signings and even decision-making power has attracted unanimous criticism.

But Roma insisted on doing so, because there was one thing that was urgently put on the table right now-to find a qualified rotation for Chen Xiaoliang.

Riise told him that although Paris Saint-Germain's Dutch midfielder Wijnaldum has basically confirmed that he will join on loan next season, the loan is only temporary after all. There is a buyout clause in the contract, but he is also doomed not to be a long-term option for Rome in the future.

There is a shortage of good midfielders, especially midfielders who have a good defensive ability in addition to offense and organization, and are the target of the giants.

Manchester United's new head coach Ten Hag, who had been officially announced before the end of the season in April, has publicly stated on many occasions that he wants the club to sign his former disciple and now Barcelona's Dutch midfielder Frankie De Jong.

After Real Madrid spent 4000 million euros to buy the 19-year-old Camavinga last summer, they are planning to spend 1 million euros to sign Monaco's 22-year-old Joan Armeni this summer, which proves the scarcity of all-around midfielders And rising prices.

Therefore, in addition to entrusting a large number of scouts, Pinto also hopes that Chen Xiaoliang can use his "huge network behind him" to find an affordable young midfielder for the team, just like he recommended Cesco, Malaysia is the same as Kvaratsheria.

As for who concluded that Chen Xiaoliang has a huge network of relationships behind him, it doesn't matter anymore.

In short, when Pinto and his boss Dan Friedkin reported, they said a very classic sentence-who would believe that an Asian can handle the transfer of Slovenians and Georgians without any relationship, and can also fight in the war? Buy a natural gas field before and count the money until your hands cramp?

Riser spoke vividly, Sesko and Helena listened with gusto, but Chen Xiaoliang was 1 speechless.

But he still gave Riise a name and told him to go to Argentina immediately and contact the River Plate club.

The 21-year-old boy can be brought from River Plate for only 1200 million, while Weiletu will leave the club and return to France next season, and the cost of selling to Marseille is almost 1100 million euros.

Coupled with the salary gap between the two, it means that Roma can get a more potential and more comprehensive midfielder without spending a penny more.

Reese looked at the name, as if he hadn't heard of Kvaratsheria for the first time.

Chen Xiaoliang told him that this man is absolutely useful under Mourinho's anti-counterfeiting tactics of the bus, and within half a year, his name might resound throughout the world.

"So mysterious?" Riise's naturally viking-like face showed a surprised expression, which looked even more terrifying and a little funny.

Chen Xiaoliang nodded, but did not answer, but looked at AC Milan entering the stadium on the TV screen.

On the one hand is AC Milan, which has kept zero seals in 7 of the last 6 home games in Serie A, and on the other is Atlanta, which has been unbeaten in all away games against Milan in all competitions. The outcome of the two teams is affecting the fate of Rome.

Milan sent almost the same lineup as the Coppa Italia final, the only difference is that Brazilian winger Mesias replaced Sale Marcos in the starting lineup.

Atlanta is also playing with all the main players. The season is coming to an end, the team lineup is neat, and they are also fighting for the European qualification.

Although currently ranked 9th, they are only 7 point away from Fiorentina, which is 1th.

Although Serie A has qualified for the Champions League in addition to the top four this season, the 5th can qualify for the Europa League and the 6th can qualify for the Europa League, but because Rome, which has won the Coppa Italia, has definitely qualified for the Champions League, this Coppa Italia champion has won The Europa League qualification will be postponed to the sixth place in the league.

What's even more gratifying is that Roma has also reached the final of the Europa League. Once they win the Europa League champion, the qualification for the Europa League due to this championship will be postponed to the 7th team in the league.

That is to say, in theory, Serie A can have 8 teams enter the European war next season.

Coupled with the current bad economic situation in Serie A, not to mention the Europa League, even the Europa League, which has limited revenue and is tasteless for big teams, for clubs such as Atlanta, Verona, and Fiorentina. It is also an important channel to increase income, increase income and reduce expenditure.

Atlanta's old coach Gasperini also thinks very clearly, one is one, two is two, it goes without saying to fight for fairness, not to mention whether the team can play in the European war next season, on the one hand, it depends on their own final Whether you can score points in the two rounds depends on Roma's performance in the European Cup final. Since Mourinho is asking for it, then tonight's league game against AC Milan will be a real fight. .

As expected, AC Milan launched a fierce attack at the beginning.

Left, middle, right, front, middle, back, up, middle, down, all-round 360-degree 3D without dead angle, from any direction, any angle, as long as there is an opportunity, you can launch an offensive.

The feeling of playing football on the field and watching it in front of the TV is indeed very different. In front of the TV, you have the perspective of God. The excited state of AC Milan made Sesco surprised: "We actually won such a game." Team?"

But after only 26 minutes, everyone had to sigh at the magic of the hand of fate.

Atalanta survived the first half of the first half with left and right blocks, and scored a goal with just the first counterattack.

The right wingback Hartbauer made a pass from the bottom, and the striker Muriel wanted to shoot from the back, but the quality of the cross from Hartbauer's running was very poor, and the ball did not reach where Muriel was at all. Location.

But it seemed that he was too excited at the beginning. Tomori, who returned to defense at high speed, tried to clear the siege with his feet near the penalty spot, trying to block the ball back, but in the end he didn't know which pill was wrong. Ang face, kicked the ball into the upper right corner of his own goal...

Atalanta enjoyed the one-goal lead amidst the astonishment and speechlessness of the home fans. Although Muriel and Hartbauer knew that this goal had nothing to do with them, they tried their best to restrain themselves while celebrating. Laughing, but who told them that they haven't received professional training, they couldn't help it, they covered their mouths and laughed.

The director at the scene thought that watching the excitement was not a big deal, so he pointed the camera at Southgate, the England coach who came to watch the game again.

His face was livid, and he had no communication with the assistants around him.

The local commentators in Milan couldn’t help complaining that Maguire had already lost his start at Manchester United. Many fans left messages on England’s social media homepage calling on Southgate not to take Maguire to the World Cup. Murray insisted on using his actions to refuse the England World Cup list sent by hand.

If one is an aircraft carrier, then this is the supply ship of the aircraft carrier formation...

After conceding the ball, Milan attacked even more crazily, but Atlanta, which was holding the three axes, was not a soft persimmon. Taking advantage of the home team's eagerness for success, they tried hard to control the ball, and brought into full play the characteristics of being good at using space transfer.

Finally, after the first half, the two teams surrendered 51% to 49% of the ball possession rate, shooting 6 to 6, and evenly played on the scene.

In the second half, Pioli replaced several new players one after another, but Atlanta's steady response and mentality helped them gradually control the ball.

However, in terms of the number of shots on goal, Milan, which has a better offensive quality, still has a clear lead.

In the 75th minute, Milan, who had been struggling for half the time, finally achieved results. Special Olympics rode thousands of miles alone, drove straight from the midfielder, broke through the two intercepted players in the middle, and then shook two players in the penalty area and then pushed to the far corner. score!
Ibrahimovic, who was warming up on the sidelines, and Giroud, who had just been replaced by Rebic, both applauded this great goal.

But the score of 1 to 1 was not enough, and Milan showed no sign of letting go.

Chen Xiaoliang and Cesko, who were watching TV, were also sweating in their palms.

Riise, who flipped through his phone, also found that many Roma players posted news on their personal social media. Pellegrini posted a message, saying: "Although it is very stupid, this ball is really beautiful." Expressed With inner depression.

Fortunately, someone didn't seem to want to keep him depressed for too long.

In the 82nd minute, Atlanta got a corner kick. The corner kick fell in the middle and was topped by Atlanta striker Zapata who came off the bench in the second half. Rebic kicked out on the goal line.

But this kick kicked impartially on Tomori, who had just landed after competing with Zapata and had not had time to turn around to observe, and then bounced off his ass and bounced into his own goal...

1 to 2…

Tomori was dumbfounded, Maignan was dumbfounded, Rebic knelt down, Ibrahimovic and Giroud on the sidelines were dumbfounded, Pioli wanted to cry...

Gasperini and his players were also stunned, as was the commentary on the local broadcast.

Cesko and Riser looked at each other, thinking that there is still such a way to play?All three goals in one game were scored by Milan... but the score was 1 to 2?

The England assistant coach Steve Holland, who was sitting next to Southgate, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and secretly said to Southgate: "This guy is too back, let's not take him. "

Southgate nodded slightly, thinking: Although Ma Datou turned slowly, he defended fiercely from the front. The ball was replaced by him just now, and the header had already been headed out. There are so many messy things behind.

Seeing that Tomori, who was out of balance, could no longer deal with his emotions normally, Pioli used Romagnoli to replace him.

The AC Milan fans couldn't help booing when the substitution was made, but it wasn't directed at Fikayo Tomori. Although the England central defender's performance tonight could be called an undercover agent, after the whole season, he still set his sights. A lot of credit has been paid.

What they booed was Pioli, why didn't a proper rotation be made after such a costly Coppa Italia final, why did it take the 82nd minute to think of wasting a substitution to replace Romagnoli.

Facing the 3 points from AC Milan, Atlanta has absolutely no reason not to.

Gasperini used all 5 substitutions, and insisted on inverting, possession and defense until the referee whistled in the 94th minute. In the end, under the huge boos of San Siro, Atlanta successfully blocked AC Milan!

第37轮联赛过后，罗马以84分反超AC米兰2分在倒数第2轮逆袭排到第1，将夺冠的悬念带到了最后。

国际米兰客场1比3战胜卡利亚里，以73分反超尤文图斯排到了第3，尤文图斯则在主场2比2绝平了拉齐奥，艰难地取得了1分，以71分排在第4。

Naples, which defeated Genoa 3-0 at home, scored the same 71 points, temporarily ranking fifth because of the outcome.

The gap between these three teams is only 2 points, which also brought the suspense of the fourth in Serie A to the final round.

In the Trigolia base the next morning, the players who arrived one after another for training were very excited.

But Mourinho still poured cold water on them.

Although Turin, the opponent of the last round of away challenges, has no desires in the rankings, but due to various reasons this season, the hostility of the Torino media headed by "Turin Sports" to Rome has become the Italian football. open secret.

Although the people of Turin may not be very united internally, they have always been local protectionist externally. For Rome, the only way to win the championship is to win.

In the case of the same score, because the relationship between the winners and losers is worse than that of Milan, once they draw with Turin and Milan wins, the championship will still belong to Milan.

There is no reason to believe that Milan, which only lost 14 game last night in the first 1 league games, will lose to Sassuolo again.

The Italian Football Association and Serie A have notified both clubs that they will prepare for the championship award ceremony at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin and Sassuolo's home in Mapei Tricolore at the same time, but because Rome started 2 days earlier, Serie A The championship trophy will first be shipped to Turin.

If Roma wins, it goes straight to the award.

If Roma doesn't win, they will immediately send the trophy to Sassuolo, where the award ceremony will be held once AC Milan wins.

But there is another extreme situation, that is, Roma failed to win, but in the end AC Milan also lost.

In this case, the Serie A league will transport the trophy to Rome and let the club arrange a special day to hold an awards ceremony without a game at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Such an operation made the club, the media and fans complain.

Although Mourinho has also coached in La Liga and Serie A in the past, and is already very familiar with the out-of-sync situation in the final rounds of the two leagues, he still expressed his opinion that it should be improved at the press conference.

Seeing that the final rounds of the Premier League and Bundesliga seasons are held at the same time, especially the Premier League, this season is also facing the final round of Manchester City and Liverpool with a difference of only 1 point. Manchester City's opponent at home is still the Liverpool legend Ladd's Aston Villa.

In this way, the simultaneous start of the championship battle can also create the tension of the game to the greatest extent, and it is more fair to the players and fans of the two teams.

On this point, Pioli also agreed in the press release.

He said that once Mourinho led Roma to win ahead of schedule, the final round of the game two days later would only be a painful transition for AC Milan.

At the press conference, he also stated many times in the attitude of a mourner that Rome has a great chance of winning.

However, Mourinho warned the players in this morning's training that these are Pioli's psychological warfare, deliberately paralyzing Roma and stimulating Milan's players.

In order to win the league championship, in the next four days, the team must train strictly and prepare for the game.

Mourinho issued an almost harsh "blocking order".

Before the end of the league, any player found by him in and out of entertainment venues will be the object of the summer team's cleanup.

And players who have played a full season under him know that the threat is not lip service.

After the nightclub scandal, Shalawi's playing opportunities have been ranked behind several young players promoted from the youth training team, such as Dalbo, Bove and Volpato, and another scandal protagonist Thornton has retired early.

There is also Diawara with a high salary, although he wanted to smash the club at the beginning of the season and was determined to fulfill the contract, but Mourinho did not back down at all, and actually let him stay in the reserve team for a whole season. Even Alberto De Rossi, the head coach of the reserve team and the father of the famous Daniele De Rossi, should not send Diawara on the field.

Diawara, who hasn't played a single official game all season, has completely given up and will be transferred to Anderlecht, a veteran Belgian team, for a cabbage price of 150 million euros.

And the only remaining thorn in the game is Karlsdorp, who was publicly reprimanded by Mourinho as a traitor and sent to the reserve team after playing around and not implementing tactics in the game.

Rome does not have giants and big names like Real Madrid and Manchester United, and the new boss Dan Friedkin came less than half a year earlier than him. He has no affection for the people bought by the original board of directors and the team left behind. I don’t feel distressed, and Diawara, Thornton and his like are far inferior to Pogba, Hazard, and Casillas’ status in the arena, so that he can completely let go of his hands and feet and vigorously create what he wants. team.

The treatment of these thorns is Mourinho's performance of killing chickens and monkeys. As a result, he not only avoided the same mistakes of "finding traitors" in Rome, but also with the help of Chen Xiaoliang and Patricio Total control of the locker room.

Therefore, he also has enough confidence to issue such a threatening "blocking order" before the final decisive battle, but put the team's interests at the top.

All the effort, all the hard work, will be on the night of May 5th!
