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

Chapter 303 The Second Battle with AC Milan
At the end of December, all players returned to Trigoria base, including Enzo and Dybala who returned home to participate in the championship parade.

After knowing the idea of ​​the little fellow hoping to switch to Chelsea, the big brother Dybala also expressed his understanding.

But he also used his experience in Juventus to remind Enzo that the pressure and competition of giants are on another level. Pulled out big heart.

The board ignored Mourinho's opinion and directly approved Enzo's transfer. As a compromise, the transaction date was set on January 1, which is before the end of the winter break.

This means that Enzo can still play for Rome for a month.

In this month, football seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Messi finally won the Hercules Cup and officially became the king, while Ronaldo left Saudi Arabia with the highest salary in football after ending the farce planned for him by Piers Morgan.

In terms of value, Mbappe, who unfortunately won the runner-up, set a record and raised his value to 1.8 million euros by virtue of his excellent performance, and followed him, like Chen Xiaoliang, who did not participate in the World Cup. Rand's 1.7 million euros.

Vinicius 1.2 million, England's two "princes" Bellingham and Foden 1.1 million, Chen Xiaoliang reached the 1 million mark with his explosive data this season, and Pedri, Murcia LS Card, Valverde Germany is the same.

Looking around, players under the age of 24 completely occupy the top 12 in the world's worth list, until the registered star Harry Kane's 9000 million euros.

More than 20 days of training and additional training, plus the rewards for the game against Turin, and the price of 3 physical recovery cards, gave Chen Xiaoliang a total of 112 training points as rewards.

Training value 18 → 130
Stamina Recovery Card 4 → 2
【The achievement worth 9000 million euros has been achieved】

[Achievement Reward: Leadership +2]

Leadership 17 → 19
[Worth 1 million euros achievement has been achieved]

[Achievement reward: Any attribute +2]

As for the attributes, he added 2 points for the achievement reward and 80 point for the 1 training points to the outbreak.

Burst 17→20
Training value 130 → 50
The explosion and the speed are finally full. With a double speed of 20, he really wants to have a chance to meet Mbappe for a while to see if he will be thrown away by him when he starts the first two steps.

Since most attributes require 80 training points to increase by 1 point, Chen Xiaoliang's frequency of looking at the system has decreased significantly, and he is more used to checking the various elements prepared by the system before the next game.

At this time, he discovered that the star card gift package of the lucky draw had not been used up for the giants mission against Liverpool.

Chen Xiaoliang prayed that he would never give Suarez such a perverted thing as a bite card, and at the same time started random drawing.

It turned out to be an ancient face, John Barnes, Liverpool's greatest ever left-winger.

The effect of the card is also pretty good, with speed 19, technique 18, dribbling 18, and it also comes with a [good at dashing from the left] skill.

The five major leagues, which had been silent for more than a month, also resumed fighting one after another after the arrival of January.

Sky Sports and "L'Equipe" also published headlines with similar meaning. When all kinds of heroes are competing in Qatar, there are two superstars who are waiting for work. One is Chen Xiaoliang, who has a 1-0 halo on the field.

And the first unlucky ghost is Roma's opponent at home on January 1, currently ranked 4th in the Serie A standings Bologna.

In this game, although Mourinho returned to the team and resumed training for a week, Enzo and Gwadiol, who played in the last few days of the World Cup, were excluded from the squad. The team basically started as a substitute for Dybala, who hadn't played for a few minutes.

However, when players from both sides entered the stadium before the game, the players of the two teams lined up to welcome two World Cup champions and a runner-up member into the stadium, accepting congratulations and praise from the entire Olympic Stadium.

The relaxed atmosphere soon dissipated. Bologna's bench and the 22 players on the field, or all the people who watched the game were surprised to find that Chen Xiaoliang had changed again.

There is not a single hair missing, but it is getting stronger and stronger.

He can catch up to any opponent's player within 3 meters when he is 5 to 15 meters behind, and he can also throw off any opponent's defender through an unreasonable sudden start within three steps.

Although the way of dribbling and controlling the ball is still unpretentious, but relying on abnormal speed, no one in the Bologna team can stop Chen Xiaoliang in a one-on-one defense.

Not to mention running off the ball when counterattacking.

In the 4th minute, Chen Xiaoliang counterattacked and got the ball from the left. He moved forward all the way, his legs seemed to be flying on the grass, and he threw away Bologna's right back Boschi without any skill and went straight into the penalty area.

The defensive Scottish midfielder Lewis Ferguson had no choice but to reach out and pull Chen Xiaoliang down when he passed by him.

The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick.

Dybala, who just scored a key penalty in the World Cup final, hit it with one hit, and Roma led 1-0.

In the 30th minute, Chen Xiaoliang received a pass from Kwa on the left again. This time he did not choose to break into the penalty area, but directly started to accelerate and cut inward to the middle.

Lewis Ferguson, the midfielder defending the left midfielder, has already received a yellow card, and now he doesn't even dare to pull Chen Xiaoliang. He is not fast at all, and he doesn't even have a chance to catch ashes. He ran two steps horizontally Just lost Chen Xiaoliang.

Before Chen Xiaoliang, another midfielder, Chilean veteran Medel, who had clashed with Messi and clashed with Messi, came to make up for the defense, he shot with his right foot. The explosive power of Chen Xiaoliang's kick shot has also been greatly improved.

Although the opponent's goalkeeper Skorupski made a save, but faced with a shot at a speed of more than 150 kilometers per hour, the ball was scored before his hand was in position.

2 to 0, Chen Xiaoliang almost used the most brute force on the court to force the ball into the net.

This time, not only the opponents were confused, but also the players and coaches on Roma's side.

When Enzo was preparing to kick off in Bologna, he asked Christiane who had not participated in the World Cup and had been training with the team: "What has the captain done for more than a month?"

Monk Zhang Er was also puzzled by Kristante: "I didn't do anything... I just trained with us, and then I went to Qatar with Kwa and the others to watch a few World Cup games."

Enzo scratched his head: "Could it be inspired by watching a game?"

Christante: "There is no such thing as Bale and Robben in their peak years. Your boss Mei and Di Maria don't play like this anymore, and Mbappe is not in this style. You tell me he sees it." Who was inspired by it?"

Enzo nodded: "Yes, Ma Dan, I'm still playing on the court, I really want to be inspired, why didn't I get it."

The head coach of Bologna was afraid that the 8 goal difference accumulated with great difficulty would be wiped out in one game. He waved his hand and shouted, and quickly ordered the team to retreat across the board. cover.

Without depth, under a dense defensive formation, the threat of high-speed advancement will be much smaller.

But in doing so, although Chen Xiaoliang could no longer rely on speed to directly tear apart Bologna's defense, it also meant that Roma's defensive pressure was greatly reduced, and the rest of the game basically became a half-court offensive and defensive drill.

Although Mourinho did not understand how his confidant general managed to improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, he kept telling the coaching staff that Chen Xiaoliang is a top player, and only a top player can compress the opponent's tactics by himself. space.

In the end, in the 72nd minute of the second half, when Chen Xiaoliang had clocked out of get off work and didn’t even need to use his physical recovery card, Dybala took a corner kick from the right. Sesco’s header missed the goal, but it went right. At the back post, Kwa, who was guarding there, picked up a ready-made one.

The score was also fixed at 3-0.

When Roma scored 3 points and achieved 9 consecutive victories in the league, in the focus of this round on the second night, Inter Milan relied on veteran Dzeko's header at home and gave it to the strong Naples. Lost in Game 2 of the season.

Relying on this victory, although Inter Milan still ranks fifth behind Juventus with 33 points, it is only 5 points behind Naples, which is second, and Naples is already 2 points behind Rome.

At this stage, coupled with the strong performance of several main players, especially Chen Xiaoliang, the entire Roma team knows that defending the league title is no longer a difficult task. While ensuring that every opponent is taken seriously, more Combat readiness and energy must be placed on the Champions League.

But before that, they have to meet their old friend AC Milan for a while.

And it's not just one battle, it's two battles in a row, one in Milan and the other in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

意大利超级杯向来有将比赛场地放到国外进行的传统，2019年就曾在利雅得举办过一次，2016年在卡塔尔的多哈、2015则在红国的东海市，2009、2011-12三次在帝都举办。

In other years, I have been to New York, Washington, and even the unexpected place of Tripoli, the capital of Libya.

In fact, from the viewing point of view, the Italian Super Cup matchup is not too intense, and one game a year is not very effective in promoting league ratings.

Players often have to fly half of the world for a game, which is also miserable.

But the Italian Football Association is so magical, instead of spending time on the kingly way to greatly increase the number of noon games to attract a huge Asian audience, but exhausted its mind to go to a distant country to play such a single cup match.

Mourinho was unable to complain at the press conference. At the same time, AC Milan coach Pioli also implicitly stated that in January, when the schedule is very tight after the World Cup, it is necessary to take 1 days between the two league games to catch a match from the Middle East. Going back and forth really exhausted the whole club.

But the established fact is the established fact, and they are powerless to change it, and speaking from the tone, the two not only want to compete in the league that started first, but also in the Super Bowl that will be played later, no one thought To whom.

On the evening of January 1, at the San Siro Stadium, the two teams started the first game of the second round.

Compared with Rome, where only Wijnaldum has been injured for a long time, AC Milan can be said to be full of injuries. Ibrahimovic has recovered from knee surgery for 8 months. Joint dislocations, midfielder Krunic's muscle fatigue, and major and minor injuries did not affect their starting lineup, but they affected the reasonable rotation of players in the intensive schedule.

The two sides also deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation, AC Milan's starting goalkeeper Tata Rusanu, four back captains Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori and Special Olympics;
The defensive midfielder Ben Nasser and Tonali, the forward midfielder Dias;

The two wings are Sale Marcos and Leo, and the center is the French veteran Giroud.

For Roma, Gvadio and Enzo returned to the starting lineup, Celik and Malacia also played in rotation, and Chen Xiaoliang continued to act as a central midfielder, working behind Sesco.

Ibrahimovic, who is still recovering, also came to the home court with the team to watch the game. Before the game, he shook hands with Chen Xiaoliang in the player tunnel and exchanged a few pleasantries.

For the proud Swede, there are not many people in world football that he can look up to, let alone juniors, but Chen Xiaoliang's fierce performance on the field gave the veteran a feeling that this kid The feeling of being one with oneself.

Although Ibrahimovic said something like "Be careful you lose and go home and cry", Chen Xiaoliang knew that this was the unique expression of the rebellious Swedes, and responded to the past with a joke.

The 41-year-old Ibrahimovic's attitude towards his career has long been detached. He also knows that AC Milan cannot realize the Champions League dream that he has always lacked. The son in the training camp continues to grow, which can be regarded as the biggest motivation to play the remaining heat at the end of his career.

AC Milan coach Pioli obviously watched the video of the last match between Roma and Bologna. Regarding Chen Xiaoliang's defense, he specially arranged man-to-man coverage for all midfielders except Giroud. tactics.

In addition to marking Chen Xiaoliang with the players in charge of this area, a nearest midfielder was added to double-team.Even at the cost of sacrificing offense, the fence must be tightened to cut off Rome's offensive engine first.

In the 15th minute, Dybala took a corner kick from the right. Ibanez, who started with Gwadiol, jumped high in the penalty area and scored with a header. AC Milan 0-1 Roma!

In the 43rd minute, Roma's set-piece offensive resumed. Dybala took a free kick outside the penalty area on the right. Cristante bypassed Tonali's defense and headed the goal. Tatarusanu saved the ball. But the ball landed right in front of Chen Xiaoliang who rushed into the penalty area to fight for it. The captain of Rome poked it with his foot, and the ball immediately went into the net.

In the first half, AC Milan trailed Roma 0-2 at home!

　Thanks to the club's executive director [Jiazi] for the 2 monthly tickets!
　　There have been too many things in the past few days. I apologize again to the directors. It was rare to have more time yesterday. I have to go home after working overtime today to make up for the minimum requirements.
