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

Chapter 263 "Welcome to Serie A!" The first strong dialogue in the league of the new season!
The four teams in Serie A, except for Rome, the other three draws can be described as hell mode.

The situation in Group A is not bad for Roma. Although the Glasgow Rangers were the runner-up of the Europa League last season, they are the same as the Salzburg Red Bulls. Treated, the possibility of upset is not great.

The only serious opponent in the group is Liverpool.

In the summer, Liverpool let go of Sadio Mane, an important hero who helped the team win the Premier League and the Champions League, and let the African striker join the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich.

As a supplement, they spent 1 million euros to buy Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunes from Benfica.

Chen Xiaoliang is familiar with this person. When Chen Xiaoliang entered the Europa League group match against Benfica in Rangers, the registration deadline had passed, so he watched the game carefully while sitting next to Gerrard.

At that time, Gerrard asked him to pay more attention to Nunes, saying that the striker would definitely be able to play for a big club in the future.

Last season, he played 28 times in Portugal and scored 26 goals, averaging close to 1 goal per game. His efficiency is amazing.

He also scored 10 goals in 6 games in the Champions League, which is still quite good.

This is on par with Haaland, who scored 30 goals in 29 appearances in Dortmund last season.

Although he only scored 4 goals in the first 2 rounds of the Premier League in the new season and received a red card in the second round and was suspended, the limelight is not as good as Haaland, who scored 4 goals in 6 games, but with Liverpool's 27-9 victory over Bourne on the 0th. The record of Mouth made the fans of the Red Army full of confidence in the home team and Nunes, vowing to grab the Premier League championship trophy from Manchester City.

For Roma, this is a two-for-one lottery. Whether they can win the first place in the group depends on the results of the two games against Liverpool.

And the top three in the north will not have the luck of Rome.

Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona are in Group C. The other opponent is the Czech team Pilsen Victory, which is also the only "fish belly".

In Group E of AC Milan, there are two strong teams, Chelsea and Ajax.

Juventus in Group H are drawn with Paris Saint-Germain and Benfica.

The former is amazing on paper, and no one in Europe dares to say that he will be able to beat him once he is kicked out.

Although the latter looks ordinary, but in the UEFA Champions League group stage last season, after being double-killed by Bayern, Benfica first defeated Barcelona 3-0 at home, and then drew 0-0 at Camp Nou, and they just retreated. In the end, the group ranked second, kicking Barcelona into the Europa League.

Although they are opponents in domestic competitions, when their national teams compete in the European war together, they usually hope that each other can go as far behind as possible.

After all, in the knockout stage, teams often fight on two or even three fronts. Being able to meet their own teams will help them get to know each other better, and the pressure of preparing for the game will be lower. Secondly, the transportation distance can save a lot of time on the road.

But compared to the "red hand" Rome, Juventus coach Allegri's head is very painful at the moment, and compared to the Champions League, the next third round of the league is imminent.

The Roma team arrived in Turin on the 26th, ready to play this away game.

The top three in the north, Naples and Roma are considered to be the five best teams in Serie A. This is also the first strong dialogue among the top five in Serie A this season.

At the pre-match press conference, Mourinho and Allegri began to compare who had a lower profile.

Mourinho said that Juventus completed a series of great deals in the summer and completed the replacement of the old and the new in the team. This season is the time for them to return to the ranks of competition.

Although Roma performed well last season, there are too many young players in the team, and they have no experience defending the league title. In addition, it is an away game, so a draw in this game will be a good result. .

Allegri did not deny Mourinho's topic of alternation between the old and the new.

This summer he sent away veterans such as Ramsey, Dybala, Bernardeschi and Chiellini, and sold De Ligt to Bayern Munich for 6700 million euros.

After purchasing Turin central defender Bremer to replace De Ligt for 4100 million, he also signed Pogba, Di Maria and other players in their prime without a visa, and also bought several players at a low price Supplementary lineup.

But Allegri said Juventus are still far from being able to retake the Serie A title.

Not to mention the current main players, Pogba, Chiesa Jr., Bonucci, and even goalkeeper Szczesny are all injured.

The team will take a period of time to complete the adjustment of the lineup while trying to attack the top of the standings.

And he also complimented Mourinho, saying that the achievements of the Portuguese are incredible and worth learning from all coaches.

The implication is that with my broken lineup, the old ones, the young ones, the injured ones, and the useless ones, it would be nice to be able to draw with Roma at home.

But soon, on the afternoon of the second day, after the players walked into the locker room, both managers showed their true colors.

Mourinho: "Forget the unnutritious trash talk I said at the press conference, those are all for the media."

"Believe me, in the home team's locker room not far away, Allegri must be saying the same thing as me!"

"They are Juventus, they are not a small club that would be relegated to the second division under normal circumstances. As long as they appear in this league, their goal is to win the championship! That's why their newspapers will spare no effort to stare at us The reason for being black was the two teams in Milan City in the past, but now because we have become the biggest favorites to win the championship, we have naturally become the target of their mouthpiece attack!"

"Tonight they have 4 main players not playing, I will make a complete evaluation of all of you playing performance!"

"If you can't even play the current Juventus, then don't lick your face and come to me, you want to play in the Champions League!"

Then, it was time for Chen Xiaoliang to encourage his teammates before leading the team to play:

"Get ready, guys! Whether he is the former Serie A overlord or not, remember! We are the Serie A champions!"

"one two three!"

All: "Champion! Champion! Champion!"

Due to the start of the new Premier League season in early August, coupled with the very dramatic game state of several giant teams, coupled with the heavyweight transfers of Haaland, Nunes, Anthony and Casemiro, etc. In terms of attention, the attention of almost the five major leagues throughout August was all focused on the Premier League.

Today's game finally allowed Serie A to slightly grab the attention of the world football world from the Premier League.

Judging from the pre-match roster, the two sides also sent a 4-2-3-1 lineup.

From Juventus:

The return of goalkeeper Szczesny made many reporters directly say on social media that Allegri deliberately set off smoke bombs to confuse opponents before the game;

Defenders from left to right, Sandro, Danilo, Bremer, De Sciglio;
Double midfielders Locatelli and Rabiot;

Left winger Di Maria and right winger Cuadrado, two 34-year-old veterans sit on the wing;

In the position of central midfielder, Allegri unexpectedly started with 19-year-old Fabio Miretti.

The center forward is Vlahovic, who is the most valuable in the team.

Here in Rome:

goalkeeper Patricio;
Four defenders Celik, Mancini, Smalling, Malaysia;
Double defensive midfielders Enzo and Matic;

The left winger started Zalewski, who played well, and the right winger let Dybala play against the old owner.

On the central axis of the frontcourt, Chen Xiaoliang is still at the back and Sesco is at the front.

Excluding Zalewski at the left winger position, this lineup can be said to be Rome's current strongest lineup.

Mourinho's former Chelsea subordinate Cuadrado, as the captain of Juventus, guessed the coin with Chen Xiaoliang at the referee, and finally Juventus went first.

Both sides stand still, the game begins!
The first two rounds were full of food abuse, so tonight, if it is a mule or a horse, I have to take it out for a walk!
Juventus continued to implement the old tactics used by Allegri-starting the attack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of kick-off first, he immediately organized an attack towards Rome's half.

【Dong dong dong! 】

As soon as Vlahovic took the ball, Chen Xiaoliang's system rang.

[Old enemy detected: Dusan Vlahovic]

[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]

[Superstar detected: Angel Di Maria]

[Superstar mission: 5 steals when Di Maria is in possession]

[Task Reward: Di Maria Skill Training Package]

yell!
Standing in a good position, Chen Xiaoliang read the mission requirements clearly at the fastest speed, and immediately turned off the words that appeared.

There are actually two tasks, but in terms of Di Maria's status in the world and his football resume, he can be called a superstar.

Chen Xiaoliang kept his eyes on the center, while the ball was played between Cuadrado, Rabiot and De Sciglio on the right.

The three of them continued to cooperate with short passes in a small range and advance forward after the ball, testing the side defense of Zalewski and Malaysia.

Just as the ball advanced along the right side to the frontcourt and was about to enter the offensive third zone, Cuadrado did not choose to force the bottom, but suddenly crossed the ball to the center and gave it to Miretti who was plugging in!

The Italian teenager wanted to shoot, but Enzo slid towards him mercilessly!

"Beep!"

Just as Enzo was about to stand up and run forward to participate in the counterattack immediately after he tackled the ball, the referee blew his whistle.

"What?! Is this a foul?!"

Enzo, who just ran a few steps and wanted to go forward excitedly, seemed like someone taught him to put on his pants immediately when he was excited, with a look of disappointment and displeasure, he turned around and yelled at the referee.

After yelling, Enzo said loudly that he had touched the ball first, and that Miretti fell because he was tripped by the ball.

Chen Xiaoliang just wanted to stop his behavior, but it was too late.

Who is the referee today?Daniele Orsato is currently the best referee in Italy. In order to avoid misjudgments and misjudgments in key games last season, the Italian Football Association often sent him to enforce the law

Orsato's control of the field is notoriously strict, so it goes without saying that he made a foul, let alone complaining loudly to the referee?
Enzo immediately received a yellow card as Orsato's welcome to Serie A. At the same time, he also gave Juventus a free kick from the right side of the penalty area about 27 meters away from the goal.

Orsato told Enzo that the video referees were the first to see the replay.

Enzo was completely speechless, and he didn't dare to talk back, so he ran back to the penalty area to defend with a displeased face.

Rome discharged a human wall of 5 people, and Zarawski lay on the ground as a crack in the door.

Vlahovic stood behind the penalty spot, and there was no one else around him.

The main center with a height of 190 all stood up, and no one would believe this ball if they pretended to pass the ball.

"Beep!"

At this time, the clock on the screen had just jumped to 1 minute and 15 seconds.

The referee whistled, and Vlahovic looked up at Patricio and the wall again, then took a deep breath and started to run!
Right foot, left foot, right foot!

Three-step run-up, after the last step of the right foot on the ground, the left foot swings, and then it is thrown downwards suddenly. The part between the arch of the foot and the inner instep hits the middle and lower part of the ball, and the ball flies up instantly. Over the human wall!
Chen Xiaoliang, who was in charge of guarding Juventus support players in the middle of the penalty area, began to watch the arc from the moment the ball came out.

I saw him fly up, I saw him pass through, I saw him fall slightly.

Then it hit the lower edge of the crossbar above the right side of the goal and bounced into the goal!

Zhan Jun: "Beautiful free kick! This goal is scored! 1 minute and 20 seconds! Juventus gave defending Roma a record at home!"

"Who says I'm a down-and-out old woman! Vlahovic proved with a wonderful world wave that the skinny Juventus is bigger than Roma!"

"Mourinho on the sidelines didn't show any expression, Patricio couldn't do anything about this ball."

Zhang Lu: "This ball is almost impossible for the goalkeeper to save. It is fast and has a tricky angle. I really have to blame it. I can only blame Enzo. Just now he fouled Miretti. That position made his long-range shot not that big of a threat. The penalty area There are too many people here, whether you can hit the goal or not is another matter.”

"Of course, Enzo didn't expect Vlahovic's footwork to be so hot today."

In the stands, the passion of the Juventus fans was ignited for the first time. The black and white flags fluttered many times. The camera swept over and saw all the crazy men and women screaming excitedly. Everyone stood up and applauded Vlahovic.

Enzo was very unconvinced, but he knew in his heart that his foul caused the goal loss, and he even took a yellow card as a tuition fee.

Chen Xiaoliang was also a little confused. In just over a minute, his old enemy mission was gone?

The two vigorous young men looked at each other. Although they didn't say a word, they knew it inside.

One word: Fuck him!
Sesco kicked off in the middle circle, and it was Rome's turn to attack.

The opening attack was a great success, and Juventus began a slow and steady defensive tactic.

If it is said that Chen Xiaoliang came to Serie A and turned out to make all the head coaches feel something different, then the 19-year-old Miretti's appearance is obviously also the idea that Allegri summed up from Chen Xiaoliang.

Although Miretti does not have Chen Xiaoliang's excellent and comprehensive physical fitness at all, and his one-on-one defensive ability is not very good, what Allegri likes is his awareness and awareness of space utilization.

Several times, the ball was passed to the frontcourt. After receiving the ball, Chen Xiaoliang found that there was no good point to go forward. He was about to pass back to reorganize, but found that Miretti was standing in the middle of the route he wanted to go out.

This is disgusting.

In terms of statistics, this kind of behavior does not leave any traces, but in actual offensive and defensive confrontation, the impact of this kind of running on the situation is very important.

Just like Busquets and Carrick, who used to be invisible on the court, sometimes they don’t know what they did on the court after watching a game. In the eyes of the fans, they are not as popular as Harvey and Ines in front of them. Tower, Scholes and others, but as the head coach, he actually started such players in every venue.

Skills, body, consciousness, professional players with a certain basic level, if one of these three is promoted to the top, he will be able to stand out in a decent professional team, just like Chen Xiaoliang, who was a fledgling at the time and had a superb stealing ability.

But such players can be said to be everywhere in Europe.

There are two who have practiced to perfection, that is, well-known football stars, such as De Bruyne, who dominates in consciousness and technology, but lacks in physical fitness.

And if someone can practice all three to the peak, then he may be only a good team away from the honor of the champion, and those few trophies that are enough.

Juve's defense is very patient, and the offense is also advancing slowly, especially after taking the lead, they will never hold high and play a large amount of pressure.

Allegri's strategy tonight is to prefer 0 to 0, and don't over-press for the sake of offense, and never give Rome a broad counterattack space.

Roma, who is still adapting, can only rely on wide crosses and long shots to beat opponents.

In 5 minutes, Chen Xiaoliang made a pass from the left. Bremer, who was selected to the best team in Serie A last season, relied on his good physical confrontation and positioning ability, which seriously interfered with Sesco's take-off speed, resulting in the ball failing to reach and passing directly. To the other side of the sidewalk.

In the 11th minute, Dybala received a pass from Chen Xiaoliang at the front of the penalty area and completed a long-range shot with a long angle. However, as a former teammate, Szczesny knew his shooting habits well, so he predicted the position in advance and fell to the ground to stabilize the ball. Hold fast.

More than ten minutes passed, and although Roma dominated the scene as a whole, they kicked back and forth like scratches, just like those teams that were obviously not as strong as them in the past did when they faced their defense.

Mourinho also saw from the sidelines that Allegri was going to defend 1-0 to the end. Regardless of whether his scene was ugly or not, 3 points was the most affordable.

He turned his head and waved to Kewa, and made a warm-up movement.

Kwa, who didn't even wear a jersey but was only wearing a long-sleeved sports shirt, was stunned for a moment, then understood what the coach meant, and quickly put on a fluorescent vest and went to the sidelines to run and stretch to prepare.

When warm-up players are warming up on the sidelines, they wear brightly colored reflective vests, mainly to prevent interference with players playing on the court.

Many times when a player passes the ball, especially when the ball is pressed and the long pass, there is no time to look at it carefully. He just follows the tactics and the team's formation and sees people with his own color running at the point of the ball. position, you know where you can shoot the ball.

So there are occasional antics of passing the ball to your own coach, or a similarly colored billboard.

But it was impossible for Kwa to play in less than 20 minutes, and Mourinho made another change.

When the ball was dead, he beckoned to Malaysia, who was closest to him, and quickly said a few words to him.

Malaysia returned to the court and passed it on to Chen Xiaoliang, who immediately understood.

It didn't take long to see him and Enzo appearing in the midfielder position, while Matic was pushed to the central midfielder or even higher.

But Mourinho didn't want these two boys to play as midfielders, but let them serve as all-around midfielders at the same time. Ability to return to defense quickly.

The effect of this move was immediate.

No matter how good Miretti's space awareness is, he is only one person, and it is impossible to block the mutual transfer and cooperation of the three points in Rome's midfield at the same time.

Rabiot and Locatelli, who received the latter, strangled the three midfielders of Roma without preconditions according to the head coach's tactics.

All of a sudden, Roma, who always liked to use the sideways to fight positional battles, actually regarded the midfield as a back garden for whatever they wanted!

And Miretti, who was alone and unable to support himself, quickly realized that although he was very talented, at present he was just a surprise soldier sent by Allegri through the inspiration of Chen Xiaoliang.

In the 18th minute, Juventus organized an attack from the left. Chen Xiaoliang settled down and Celik double-teamed Di Maria from the front and the side.

The Argentine Angel, who had just recovered from injury, played very hard, but avoided physical contact everywhere.

No way, the first World Cup held at the end of the year made these big-name players afraid to avoid injuries.

Especially this World Cup is not only for Messi, it is also the last chance for Di Maria to chase his dream. He doesn't want to lie in the operating room before he even touches the edge of his dream.

Taking advantage of this, although the speed is still not as fast as the 34-year-old Di Maria, Celik played very tough today. He used to like to retreat sideways to defend and compress the space before going up. Today, he often does not wait for Di Maria. Lia started to go up to physical confrontation first.

What's more, now that Chen Xiaoliang is around to help defend, Celik is even more confident.

And Di Maria always looks for opportunities to break through at the first time. If there is no chance, he will pass the ball immediately to prevent Celik from being entangled with him.

At this time, Di Maria repeated his old trick. Seeing the two people approaching, he kicked a rubbing pass just over Chen Xiaoliang's head and sent it to Miretti in the middle.

After unloading the ball, Miretti turned around to observe, and just dribbled a few steps to get closer to the middle, and saw Vlahovic, whose back was turned to him in the penalty area in front of him, pointed at him anxiously.

"what!"

Wherever he had time to think, he couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Oh!"

This sound was a horrified sigh from almost all Juventus fans.

Even a few female fans screamed in fright.

Suddenly, Miretti's feet flew into the air, and he felt something beneath him lifted his legs up like a forklift.

Unprepared, he only felt that his entire body was bearing the shock wave from the impact.

After falling to the ground, he didn't know for a moment whether to roll over and show a miserable state, or to check for injuries first without moving.

"Beep!"

The referee Orsato blew the whistle again, trotted over immediately, and then touched the left pocket of his chest with his right hand, ready to show a yellow card warning to Chen Xiaoliang, who was shoveling.

Chen Xiaoliang was not angry, and said to Orsato with a friendly face but firm eyes: "Mr. Referee, please listen to your colleagues in the video room, or take a look at the VAR, and then decide whether to play a card or not."

Orsato was a little unhappy, thinking:
I have played Serie A for so many years. Although small mistakes cannot be avoided, I have never made big mistakes. Otherwise, I would not have been selected by FIFA to officiate the opening game of the World Cup at the end of the year.

When is it your turn, a little doll, to teach me how to blow the game?

Even if you are the best player in Serie A, refereeing is still my specialty as a professional referee.

Thinking of this, he still had to draw out his cards.

However, Chen Xiaoliang didn't seem to be surprised. Before the Juventus players rushed over to protest, he added to Orsato: "The picture that the referee in the video room can see must be watched by countless people on TV and the Internet at this time." I saw it too."

Orsato was taken aback.

I thought: Ma Dan, this is definitely a weakness of being caught.

This kid is right. The World Cup is less than four months away. Apart from the opening game, I have to brag about a few other games. Even FIFA will brag about one of the semi-finals for me.

Who made Italy not enter the World Cup, Italian referees do not have to consider the principle of avoidance at all.

If I make a mistake now, won't it affect my World Cup law enforcement trip?
And at this time, he couldn't help thinking that Chen Xiaoliang, as the leader of steals and interceptions last season, had only received one yellow card, and he was impeccable from the perspective of sportsmanship.

Such a player's solemn complaint should be very different from the usual nonsense he faces.

Orsato is worthy of being an experienced whistler. He scratched the hand that was about to draw cards on his chest, pretended to take off his clothes after running, and then held the earphone with his left hand and began to question his colleagues and persuade him to leave. Surrounded by players from both sides.

The poor Juventus players haven't come to appeal, and they have been deprived of even the opportunity to speak.

"sure?"

Orsato asked in disbelief.

"Sure." The earphones gave a definite answer.

Orsato looked down at Miretti who was still lying on the ground, and simply raised his hands and called the team doctor in.

The video referee team said that it was a very clean tackle that touched the ball first.

Then he inexplicably stopped the game, which turned out to be a wrong judgment.

But when the team doctor was called in, there was another reason to protect the players.

When Chen Xiaoliang saw Orsato put his hand down from his breast pocket, he knew that the video referee team had told him everything, and then smiled at him and blinked his left eye to express his friendliness.

Orsato appreciates it, but as a referee, he can't express it in a biased way, just nod slightly and understand.

Enzo was dumbfounded when he saw this from the side.

Only then did I know that the boss is the boss, and the reason to be the boss is that it is not enough to shovel people like killing people, that can only be called a reckless man.

Being able to get along well with the coach off the court and convincing teammates in the locker room is already amazing, but now on the court to coax the referee into a good mood and change the penalty is a bit too awesome up.

However, Chen Xiaoliang's shoveling has always only deterred people, and did not intentionally hurt people. Although Miretti was a little confused, the team doctor confirmed that he was fine after the examination and could continue the game.

As the "perpetrator", Chen Xiaoliang has been standing nearby, expressing concern on the surface.

In the end, he and Vlahovic each stretched out a hand to pull Miretti up.

But in the end, he said to Miretti, who got up, and Enzo, who was looking at him adoringly, with a smile, also slightly raising his head and looking down:
"Welcome to Serie A."

At that moment, in the eyes of Miretti, who is 179 meters tall and only 4 centimeters shorter than Chen Xiaoliang, he seemed to see a giant with an aura of 3 meters and radiance.

He even forgot that this Roman captain is one year younger than himself!
The excitement and pride of the first start in Serie A were completely blown away by the shovel just now and this sentence at this moment!
