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

Chapter 310 There Are Only Two Kinds of Teams in Italy, Chen Xiaoliang's and Others

After the head coach Spalletti was sent to the stands, the mentality of the Naples players was obviously fluctuated.

They played more and more impatiently, rushing and hitting, but there was no way.

As time passed by, Roma's confidence became more and more firm. They calmly faced the high balls that Naples continued to forcefully pass, and then used desperate defense to clear and destroy them. When the opportunity was good, they would launch a counterattack on the spot. , forcing Naples to return to defense across the board, consuming what little energy they had left.

In the 89th minute, Roma made a goal kick and attacked in a positional battle.

The fourth official has raised the electronic timing card on the sidelines, adding 5 minutes of added time.

At this point, Roma became the side that could pass the game time by turning backwards, while Naples launched a suicidal high press at the end of the game.

Despite the fierce grab, Roma has Chen Xiaoliang in the midfield.

Just 5 minutes ago, Mourinho replaced Enzo and Kwa with Kristante and Wijnaldum to increase the hardness of the midfield, just to cooperate with Chen Xiaoliang to control the ball as much as possible.

The whole Naples team is no stranger to Chen Xiaoliang's abnormal physical strength. Even Elmas, who has not been on the field for a long time, feels that Chen Xiaoliang, who has played the whole game, can run better than himself.

Roma kept falling, and Naples kept chasing. Chen Xiaoliang ran without the ball before and after the midfield to pull the gap, and then passed the ball to other open teammates after receiving the pass from his teammates.

It forced Naples to use fouls to interrupt Roma's possession, forcing their rhythm to be uncoherent.

In the stands, the Naples fans booed constantly. They could only use booing to help the home team on the field for Rome's way of killing time.

A few burly men in the front row were so angry that they could not help but rushed into the field and hugged the Roma players to prevent them from passing the ball while cursing harsh words.

In the 93rd minute, Roma passed the ball to press Naples back to their own half in the positional battle.

Abraham, who has never had any good chances to perform after playing, has been running hard. He is very eager to score a goal. After more than half a season, he has only scored 5 goals in total, and he has been a substitute for a lot of time. Seriously lowered his stats.

Coupled with the arrival of Kwa and Dybala, his chances of playing have been further reduced.

Chen Xiaoliang also wanted to help him, but Naples' dense defense, coupled with the lack of time left, could not rush and randomly play the ball, resulting in the ball being passed back and forth outside the penalty area, and it was never allowed to enter the penalty area.

At this time, Chen Xiaoliang moved to the right and took the initiative to insert diagonally into the penalty area, attracting the attention of Ndombele and Simeone.

Pellegrini, who was catching the ball from the right, was not as capable of sudden passes as Kwa. He was better at long-distance footwork. He knew that Chen Xiaoliang was acting as a wingman to divert the defensive pressure from Abraham's feint, so he passed it to the goalkeeper with one kick. Click later.

Abraham desperately supported Jin Minzai, including all his teammates watching in front of him, as well as Mourinho on the sidelines, could see that there was a fighting spirit in the England striker who wanted to prove himself.

In terms of hardness, Korean central defender Kim Min-jae, who is 190 tall and weighs 88 kg, is not inferior to him, but compared to the jumping height, Abraham, who is 194 tall, is slightly better.

The two staged a head-to-head confrontation in the penalty area, while Chen Xiaoliang moved towards the penalty spot, pretending to catch the header.

Under Jin Minzai's involuntary yelling "Oh Xiba", Abraham pushed his body away and hit the ball, and the ball rushed straight towards the goal immediately!

Meret saves the ball at the near post!
But the distance was too close to hug, and the ball actually bounced towards the penalty spot!

Ndongbele and Elmas tried to keep Chen Xiaoliang out like the elevator door was closing, but Chen Xiaoliang just rushed between them like a bulldozer.

Seeing him activate, the other Naples players defending near the small penalty area immediately became nervous and rushed towards him subconsciously, but the distance between them was so short that there was still no time, Chen Xiaoliang raised his foot to poke the ball forward!
The 25-year-old Italian goalkeeper, who was becoming more and more mature, insisted on getting up from the ground, fell to the side again, and blocked Chen Xiaoliang's follow-up shot with his stomach!
"Oh!"

"Oh!"

With the process of shooting, being thrown, shooting again, and throwing again, tens of thousands of fans in the stands also shouted excitedly. They raised their hands excitedly when they saw Meret save again.

Naples can have such a performance this season, which is inseparable from Meret's performance at critical moments.

However, just halfway through the hand, the ball that was blocked by Meret again rolled twice outside the goal and suddenly stopped!
Because of the fierce confrontation in front of the goal, after a game, the players stepped on a small hole here, and the rain poured in, forming a small hole!
Abraham, who was standing in front of the goal, came over with a long-legged hook, and hooked the ball that stopped there, beyond everyone's expectations, into the goal!
"ah!!!!!!"

The Englishman flew towards the stands of the Roma fans, tugging at the hem of the jersey as he ran.

However, all the players in Naples raised their hands, and the referee Osatu did not blow his whistle to point to the center circle immediately.

The next step is the VAR confirmation link that will inevitably occur.

This may also be the most obvious disadvantage of VAR among the many benefits to the sport of football. In some controversial moments, he made the celebration of players and fans not come immediately with the goal, but only with the intervention of VAR. end.

Osatu didn't talk too much with VAR in the headset, and the broadcast screen also clearly showed that Kim Min-jae and Meret, who were defending Abraham, were close to the goal line, and Abraham was not offside at all.

The goal is valid!

The laments of Naples and the cheers of Rome arrived belatedly.

Mourinho took the initiative to go to the sidelines and applaud Abraham.

The rain had stopped at this time, and the dark clouds had finally dissipated. Under the bright moonlight, there was a tragicomedy involving tens of thousands of people, and even hundreds of thousands or millions of people from all over the world behind the screen.

Why spend money and time watching football?
According to a non-famous performer, the 500 and 800 yuan are placed on the table at home, and you can’t laugh when you look at it. If you can laugh, 800 yuan can’t cure your disease.

But coming to the stadium and turning on the screen for more than two hours can make your mood fluctuate with the progress of the game. For some fanatical fans, this effect will last for a whole week until next week when the league resumes. Start playing.

And the joy or regret brought by some games will even accompany you for a lifetime.

For example, winning the World Cup, winning three consecutive Champions League titles, defeating rivals in the same city, or a super fiasco that broke a century-old score record...

VAR plus the celebration after the goal, the time has already exceeded 95 minutes, and there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, but Osatu still followed the rules and made up a symbolic 2 minutes.

In the 97th minute, when Naples was preparing for the final attack, when they retreated to the outside of the penalty area to receive the ball, they slipped and fell to the ground, and their hands touched the ball while supporting it, and they were inexplicably sentenced to a handball.

Goalposts, puddles, slips and falls...

There is no advantage in strength, and even God does not seem to be on their side...

Many Naples fans lowered their heads, some even hugged their necks, looking at the scoreboard in frustration.

"Beep!"

After Gwadiol kicked the ball with a big kick, Osatu finally blew the whistle!
This Tianwangshan battle ended with Rome's away victory. At the same time, they also double-killed their number one competitor Naples in Serie A this season!
The beauty host Di Rita Leotta asked the four celebrities in the live broadcast room, do you think there is still suspense in this season's Serie A?

Rijkaard and Hitzfeld feel that with the current strength, state and cohesion of Rome, as long as there are no large-scale injuries, the championship will basically not run away.

Capello believes that we should also look at the results of the Champions League draw to see what kind of opponent Roma will encounter next.

Only Mateus thinks that the gap of 6 points is nothing, and all possibilities are not over yet.

But even if Rijkaard and Matthaus disagree on whether Chen Xiaoliang will surpass him in terms of ability, they both agree with the other two legendary coaches, which is what Capello said after the game A word from

"Mourinho once said a word when he was coaching Real Madrid, because I have also led Real Madrid, so I will pay more attention to his dynamics in Real Madrid."

"He said there are only two kinds of teams in the world, one with Messi and the other."

"Based on the current Roma, they have not yet proved themselves in the Champions League, but after the performance of these 20 rounds of the league, with my understanding of Italian football, I dare say that there are only two teams in Italy at present. One is Chen Xiaoliang. and the other is the other."

Back in the locker room, Roma players sang, danced, and rapped in the locker room as if they had won a championship, to celebrate the victory in the torrential rain.

Mourinho also did not let the players keep a low profile and not get carried away, as he usually does most of the time, so as not to overturn in the following games, but celebrated with the players and lined up in the locker room to take pictures together. I took a group photo and posted it on my social platform.

这轮联赛结束，罗马不仅以53分的积分领先那不勒斯6分，更是已经遥遥领先第3名、积40分的国际米兰13分之多。

Even if there is still suspense, only Naples can realize the possibility of catching up from behind.

It seems like a tacit understanding, AC Milan lost 2 to 5 at home to Sassuolo, and after being penalized, Juventus' morale plummeted, and they were defeated by the newly promoted Monza 0 to 2 at home.

Among the top few, only Atlanta won the ball, with AC Milan on 38 points, 15 points behind, and bid farewell to the possibility of this season's championship ahead of schedule.

On the next day, February 2, the big team followed Mourinho back to Rome, preparing for the Coppa Italia, which will start on February 1, which is a day away. of Cremona.

Chen Xiaoliang and Pinto set off from Naples and went straight to the UEFA headquarters in Bern, Switzerland, preparing to participate in the draw ceremony for the first knockout round of the UEFA Champions League that night.

At night, celebrities from European giants gathered here.

The chairmen or CEOs of Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Manchester City and other clubs all appeared in the lottery hall with active player representatives or club celebrities.

In front of these people, Pinto can only be regarded as an insignificant junior in the rivers and lakes. This is why the Roma board of directors invited Chen Xiaoliang to participate, in order to attract a wave of attention and prevent the club from being overshadowed by the giants.

The first round of the knockout round still has the rules of "avoidance in the same group" and "avoidance in the same country", so it will be impossible for Liverpool and Milan to meet Rome.

The first one drawn was the ball drawn from the second box of the group. The host opened the ball, and it was the Leipzig Red Bull!
Chen Xiaoliang's first reaction was: This is good!can fuck him!

But after thinking about it, it immediately became: no!Can't fuck him!

This season's defensive backbone, Gwadiol, is on loan from this Bundesliga team. In the loan agreement, there is a clause that must be avoided when playing against the home team, which means that if they are drawn, Gwadiol will not be able to play in two rounds. play.

The result was just as Chen Xiaoliang expected, they got the powerful Manchester City.

The second drawn group is Bruges from the Belgian First Division, which can be called the weakest of all the second-ranked teams.

Chen Xiaoliang glanced at Pinto beside him, and saw that his lips were moving silently, and his hand was still silently gesticulating the cross. He seemed to be the same as himself, praying for Rome to draw such an opponent...

But unfortunately, Brugge's opponent is Benfica, who overwhelmed Paris and won the first place in the group.

The next third group drawn is Liverpool. Their draws can be said to be red and black. They staged the Champions League final matchup last season again and won Real Madrid.

At that moment, Andy Hughes, the general manager of the Liverpool club, seemed to be twitching his face... Under the camera, he tried his best not to frown. The appearance of Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.

Next, AC Milan drew Tottenham, which can be regarded as a close contest.

Subsequently, Roma missed the last Europa League champion Frankfurt, and their opponent was Chelsea.

When the lottery came here, Chen Xiaoliang's heart couldn't help beating faster.

There are three teams left in the second place in the group, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Paris. Inter Milan will definitely not be drawn, which means that Roma will choose between the Bundesliga Hornets and the French aircraft carrier.

Although it is said that if you want to go to the end, you must be prepared to face the strongest opponent, but signing luck is also an undeniable and important factor that can help the team go on.

With Inter Milan being drawn out against Porto, Chen Xiaoliang has already started to "plop thump" nervously!And Pinto next to him put his hands on his chest, secretly and constantly making signs of the cross with his fingers, almost yelling "Hallelujah" and "Mamma Mia" and other spells.

With excited hearts and trembling hands, the supporters pulled out Paris!
Then he twirled and twirled and twirled in the glass basin of the No. 1 group with only two balls left before he took out one of them...

Chen Xiaoliang yelled in his heart: What the hell are you doing, why are you playing suspense.

The small black ball was slowly opened, revealing a note.

"Bayern München (GER)"

Bundesliga overlord, Bayern Munich!

call…

Chen Xiaoliang and Pingtuo exhaled at the same time... They looked at each other and shook hands...

There is only one last option left, and their opponent will be Dortmund, also from the Bundesliga!
Since the group stage is the first place, the schedule will also be first away and then host.

The lottery had just ended. Germany's "Bild" and "Kicker", and Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" and "Corriere dello Sport" not only published the lottery results for the first time, but also listed two photos by coincidence.

They are Chen Xiaoliang vs. Bellingham, the head-to-head confrontation between two talented midfielders worth [-] million euros in Europe, and Cesko vs. Adeyemi, two new strikers who are also produced by the Salzburg Red Bull. Cesco was hailed as the new Harland, and Adeyemi even came to Dortmund to take over the striker position left by Harland.

Looking at these reports, Chen Xiaoliang thought about it more and more wrongly on the flight back to Rome overnight. He asked Pinto:

"Last season's Champions League final repeats...Bayern, who repeatedly ravaged Barcelona, ​​met Messi's Paris... What else is there for a [-] million midfield match..."

"Do you think the lottery can really draw out such a coincidence?"

Pinto laughed: "You look like this. When you are 40 years old, you have won many championships and honors, and after you retire, UEFA will probably hire you as a lucky draw guest. You will know then."

Chen Xiaoliang: "I remember that Totti smoked before, did you ask him?"

Pinto: "Brother, to be this kind of guest, there is not only a good appearance fee, but also a non-disclosure agreement to be signed. You are matched with carrots and sticks. Who will say that you are an idiot for UEFA?" ah."
