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

Chapter 312 The Requiem from Hell
In this battle, Mourinho discussed the game strategy with the coaching staff, captains and vice-captains Chen Xiaoliang, Mancini, and several key players in the locker room, such as Dybala, Gwadio, Patricio, etc., and fully listened to the After discussing the opinions of all parties, it was finally decided to make full use of the order of the game, and resolutely give up the ball in the away game to play a steady counterattack.

He once again resorted to a 4-2-3-1 formation with two central defenders:
goalkeeper Patricio;
Double central defenders Gwadiol and Smalling;

Celik with better defense and Malaysia as full-backs;

The defensive midfielders Wijnaldum and Christante, the central midfielder Chen Xiaoliang;

The frontcourt is still the fixed main combination of Kwa, Sesco and Dybala.

And Dortmund, who are playing at home, really set up a very aggressive formation of 4-1-4-1, as expected at the Rome coaching staff meeting.

Goalkeeper Kerber;
Four defenders Wolff, Sule, Schlottebeck, Guerrero;

Single midfielder Emre Can, the 29-year-old is no stranger to many fans. He has played for the three giants of Juventus, Liverpool and Bayern.

Right winger Brandt, left winger Adeyemi, right forward Bellingham, left forward Ozcan, the four formed a clearly pressing forward midfield line;
The 18-year-old talented player Mukoko topped the single arrow.

This formation, with an average age of 24.4 years, is quite young.

And since the two teams each have a pervert worth 1 million euros and a number of potential Mavericks, the overall worth is evenly matched at 3.6 million euros.

The 18-year-old Chen Xiaoliang, who wears the captain's armband, and the 19-year-old Bellingham, who also wears the captain's armband, started the first duel in their lives!
This is not the scene of taking a car to the Chatelet theater together in a hotel in Paris and greeting each other along the way. This is the decision to determine whose worth of 1 million is worthy of the name and who is worthy of the strongest new generation midfielder in the entire football world. title.

[Old Enemy Detected: Jude Bellingham]

[Old Enemy Mission: Win a two-round series]

[Restrictions: The total score of the players after the two games, the rival is lower than the host]

[Mission Reward: 2 legendary star cards of the team where the enemy belongs]

After guessing the side and shaking hands with Bellingham, the golden words of the system immediately emerged.

This is an old enemy mission that only belongs to the Champions League knockout round!

The requirements of the task are not so fancy, just two points, perform better than the other party, and eliminate the other party!
Here, Chen Xiaoliang turned off the system with a wave of his hand, and the referee over there gave a "beep", and the game started!
From the sound of the whistle, Dortmund, who kicked off first, launched a fierce attack on Roma amid the earth-shattering cheers of the fans.

Their style of play is even crazier than that of Naples. There are a lot of young players in the middle and front. The offense is constantly interspersed with detours, and the defense is a crazy high-position press. ball man.

However, for Roma, this kind of scene is still within the expectations before the game. Dortmund will definitely not waste the huge advantage of the Devils at home. Their plan is to score as early as possible, score more goals, and even widen the score gap. The suspense was lost early in round 2.

Faced with the menacing attack at the beginning, Chen Xiaoliang continued to direct his teammates to fill up the defense. Along the penalty area of ​​Rome, there were often 5-7 players who pressed up to participate in the attack, which forced Kwa and Dybala to retreat. Come back to participate in the defense, leaving Sesko alone in front.

In the 4th minute, Chen Xiaoliang intercepted Emre Can's pass 5 meters away from the top of the penalty area, and directly passed it to Sesco who was on the center line.

Since there was no offside restriction at the start of the half, Sesco immediately left Dortmund central defender Jule and others behind.

Halfway through the run, he caught the ball that fell high with his foot, flicked forward, and continued to sprint.

At this time, the distance between Jule and him was shrinking.

Near the penalty area, Cesko caught up with the ball he picked out and waded into the penalty area again!
Seeing that the ball rolled into the penalty area, he was about to form a single shot, but he didn't expect that the last shot would be too big, and the goalkeeper Kerber who was attacked was caught in advance!

Cesco also tripped and fell to the ground when Kerber, who was hugging the ball, didn't have time to catch it.

After the referee Markle took a look at the two, he didn't say anything.

Although there were people on both sides raising their hands to signal the opponent to foul, it was obvious that one tripped and the other bumped into each other, which was purely a normal collision.

The 6-man referee team for this game is all from the Netherlands. The referee Markle has whistled Germany 1-1 Spain in the World Cup in Qatar not long ago. He is one of the most famous referees in the Netherlands.

Since there is a more eye-catching home game between Liverpool and Real Madrid in this round of knockout rounds, old partners Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu went to explain that game, and the commentators for this game are Yan Qiang and Xu Yang.

Xu Yang: "Although this counterattack is a little bit short, it should give the Roma players a lot of confidence. This proves that they have a chance to counterattack. Like Dortmund's attack, there will definitely be loopholes in the defense."

Yan Qiang: "Both teams have shown their housekeeping skills, and it depends on who can pierce that layer of window paper first!"

In the 17th minute, Roma's sharp knife Kwa on the left broke through with the ball. Although Dortmund's right back Wolff was not slow, he had a hard time coping with Kwa, who could keep changing directions back and forth during the fast dribbling.

Seeing that he was about to be broken through, he simply got up and knocked Kewa down.

Roma gets a free kick from the left.

Counter-attack and set-pieces are the two major scoring tools in the case of loss of possession.

All the high points in Rome are over!

Kewa took the ball and Smalling scored with a header!
Yan Qiang: "Oh! The 17th minute! Roma took the lead...huh?!"

All Dortmund players raised their hands, and the referee Markle also whistled decisively, but instead of pointing to the center circle, he showed a yellow card to Smalling who was celebrating!
Smalling still wanted to argue, but the slow motion showed everything. After his ball jumped up from the near post, his head didn't touch the ball, but he hit the ball with his raised right hand in a "quick and wise" way, sending the ball back to the goal post. The ball went into the goal!
Xu Yang: "With the current video tracking technology, it is almost impossible to replicate a goal like the Hand of God. Even if there is a very low probability, the camera may be blurred, and neither the referee nor the video referee can judge. Get muddled through, but you will also be criticized by the outside world after the game."

Yan Qiang: "That's right. During the game, especially behind the goals on both sides of the stands, there will be many fans holding up their mobile phones to record the whole process. It can only be said that Smalling is eager to score in a hurry."

After the first 20 minutes, Dortmund's three-axes did not work, and the frequency of running slowed down a little.

After Rome stabilized its position and gradually got used to the opponent's routine and player style, it began to become more active on the court.

The opportunities for Chen Xiaoliang to have personal contact with Bellingham also began to increase significantly.

In the 22nd minute, Dortmund attacked from the left. Guerrero and Adeyemi cooperated to bypass the defense of Dybala and Celik on the left.

Christant went to make up for it, Celik turned his head to chase, and Chen Xiaoliang moved to the right midfielder to protect the front of the penalty area.

Adeyemi crossed the ball to Bellingham at the top of the box before being double-teamed.

Chen Xiaoliang immediately rushed over to prepare for the tackle.

Bellingham observed Chen Xiaoliang coming towards him, and he immediately knocked the ball across to Ozcan, who was closer to the penalty area, and Ozcan passed it to the right, to the right winger Brandt.

Brandt strode into the penalty area to receive the ball, and directly crossed the middle of the small penalty area. Adeyemi and Mukoko have already outflanked the ball!
Halfway through the pass, Smalling's right leg blocked it!

Ozcan received the ball, kicked the goal, and was blocked by Wijnaldum again!

Ozcan controlled the ball with his back, and immediately knocked Bellingham in the middle. The big Premier League star took a shot, and Chen Xiaoliang, who was on the side, flew over and stretched out his right leg to block the ball for the third time!

The ball bounced to the left, Kwa took the ball and began to accelerate, Wolfe and Brandt immediately double-teamed him.

In the middle, Chen Xiaoliang got up again and rushed forward with full horsepower. Bellingham just turned around to see where the ball landed and found that Chen Xiaoliang had already run ahead of him.

Chen Xiaoliang waved forward, and Kewa immediately passed the ball over!

Chen Xiaoliang, who was sprinting forward, pushed the ball forward with his head, and Sesco and Dybala in front also rushed up, driving Dortmund's three lines to retreat and defend.

The defensive midfielder Emre Can did not come over to try to intercept Chen Xiaoliang like the midfielders of other teams. Knowing that the speed gap was obvious, he retreated at full speed while keeping himself in front of Chen Xiaoliang.

In the rear, a central defender Schlottbeck watched Cesco, and another central defender Sule retreated in a deeper position to serve as the last layer of protection.

Bellingham was also running, but no matter how hard he tried, in such an open and unobstructed midfield, he could not close the distance with Chen Xiaoliang in front of him no matter what.

Chen Xiaoliang looked at the situation on the left and right sides, and at a place 10 meters away from the restricted area line, he decisively distributed it to the right to Dybala, who had no one around him.

Dybala catches the ball beautifully and sprints into the box.

With his left foot, he entered from the right side of the penalty area. Seeing that the opponent's central defender Jule was heading towards him, Dybala adjusted his step, moved the ball to the front of his left foot, stepped down with his right foot, aimed at the far post, and prepared Rub out an instep curve ball with your left foot and shoot!
Seeing that it was too late to stretch his legs, Jule put the shovel directly!
For a "behemoth" with a height of 195 centimeters and a weight of 97 kilograms, Dybala was surprised by such a running speed and such a speed of falling to the ground and shoveling!
What is even more surprising is that he not only shoveled the ball, but also pressed the shoveled ball under his calf when he fell to the ground!
On the ground, he also accurately kicked the ball to the left-back Guerrero behind Dybala, allowing the Portuguese full-back to clear the ball and kick it to the frontcourt.

"Huh, huh, huh!" Applause and shouts sounded from all sides of the stadium.

Despite having 84000 seats, Dortmund still only gave Roma 3000 tickets for the away team. Even if the "Three Thousand Warriors" were loyal and focused, except for the waving flags that were still faintly visible, the noise created was not at all in the stadium. Inaudible.

Seeing Jule's performance, Chen Xiaoliang, who has always been unparalleled in the world in tackles, also recognized and was excited.

This is the strength of the second place in the Bundesliga, and this is the combat effectiveness created by the most terrifying home stadium in Europe!
After 3 minutes, Dortmund's cross was interrupted by Malacia, and he passed it to Gwadiol in the center, who was about to pass the ball forward to Kwa on the left, but was blocked by Belin Humm breaks the tackle.

Wijnaldum on the side stepped on the ball, and Chen Xiaoliang, who came to support him, immediately speeded up. When Bellingham just got up, he flashed past Wijnaldum, brought the ball under his feet, and then turned forward. A waving ball left behind Bellingham who was trying to intercept!
Yan Qiang: "Okay~ the ball! The advancement in these two counterattacks has at least proved that Xiaoliang is definitely ahead of Bellingham in terms of speed."

Xu Yang: "Indeed, Xiao Liang's strongest point is the activation of the first two steps. Once he is given space to bring him up, it is basically difficult to catch up with him."

After throwing away Bellingham, Wolfe, who was pressing up, bumped and pulled when Chen Xiaoliang passed by him, trying to slow down its speed through physical contact.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaoliang waved his right arm to turn his upper body around, his body only swayed slightly, but his feet did not slow down at all, and he passed him cleanly.

After passing the two, Chen Xiaoliang, who had the space to pass the ball, passed the ball to Kwa, who ran out of the open space in front of him, and then slanted towards the middle.

Emre Can, Ozcan, and Schlotterbeck were all attracted by his running and surrounded him like a three-point defense.

Kwa advanced to the left side close to the bottom line. Seeing that Cesko in the middle was almost in place, he sent a half-high ball with his left foot and made a quick cross!
Yan Qiang: "It's still Jule! With a scorpion wagging its tail, the ball passed halfway was blocked out of the baseline! Roma won a corner kick."

Xu Yang: "It's hard to imagine that a central defender of such height and weight can return to the defense so quickly and make such dexterous movements."

Yan Qiang: "Speaking of this, I have to mention that Manchester United captain Maguire has been playing less and less recently. He is 194 tall and weighs 100 kilograms. He is very similar to Jule in terms of body shape, but in terms of speed, especially In terms of turning and response speed, the difference between the two is obvious."

Being thrown away by Chen Xiaoliang's sudden start twice in a row made Bellingham feel very upset. Young and energetic people really care about this kind of direct confrontation.

Combat by nature, highly aggressive, and with good physical fitness, he began to actively seek physical confrontation with Chen Xiaoliang.

Roma took a corner kick from the left, Dybala took it, and it was Jule who hit the ball at the first point and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

Chen Xiaoliang stopped the ball on his chest outside the penalty area. The ball landed on the lawn in front of him and bounced.

Chen Xiaoliang swung his right foot, and Bellingham and Emre Can immediately rushed up to block him, preventing him from shooting long shots in the air.

Chen Xiaoliang's instep turned into an arch, and he picked the ball into the penalty area. Sesco stopped the ball in the chest and was about to turn around and volley directly, but Strobeck stretched out his foot first, and the ball fell to Christian behind Sesco. At Te's feet, the Italian volleyed directly, and the ball was thrown out by Kerber, who reacted quickly and fell to the ground immediately!Right back Wolf quickly made a clearance.

Yan Qiang: "Roma, consecutive chances to score goals!"

Xu Yang: "Today their counterattacks and set-pieces were very effective and concise, but they just missed the goal, otherwise the score would not have been 0-0."

In the 37th minute, Roma counterattacked again.

Adeyemi passed the ball and was caught by Patricio. The old Portuguese goalkeeper immediately got up and kicked the ball to the middle circle.

Cesco leaned on Schlottbeck with his back and headed back to Chen Xiaoliang. Chen Xiaoliang directly sent the ball to the left side of the opponent's half with a long-distance pass.

Kewa sprinted with all his strength, caught up with the wonderful pass given to him by Chen Xiaoliang, and rushed all the way to the left side of the penalty area.

This time, the right back Wolf, who was not plugged in, blocked Kwa in the ribs of the penalty area.

Kewa didn't choose to entangle with him, it's not that he couldn't get past him, but circling with him here would only waste the opportunity brought by a quick counterattack.

He cut inside and passed to Chen Xiaoliang who rushed up.

In the penalty area, Cesco has brought Strobeck to the penalty spot, and on the right, Dybala is also penetrating into the middle of the penalty area under the defense of Guerrero.

Jule, who stood between Chen Xiaoliang and Sesco, came up to meet him, and the whole Roma team could see that the two defenders today Strobeck played as a man-marking central defender, while Jule specialized in assisting as a central defender. Where is the penalty area? Tough bones, he can be seen everywhere.

Chen Xiaoliang didn't agree with him, and made a false shot with his right foot, which tricked Jule's center of gravity and rushed towards the left where the defense was thinner.

Although Jule's speed is definitely the fastest among high school defenders, compared with Chen Xiaoliang, he can only try his best to defend the inside line, and has no chance to intercept at all.

Chen Xiaoliang rushed all the way to the left, less than 3 meters away from the small penalty area. Seeing that Jule could not keep up with Chen Xiaoliang, Kerber rushed out and wanted to take the initiative to attack and intercept the ball.

Chen Xiaoliang pushed the instep of his left foot and hit an upper corner!
Kerber who attacked subconsciously stretched out his hand.

In the blink of an eye, even Chen Xiaoliang didn't see whether Kerber's fingertips touched the ball, but the crisp "bang" and the bounce of the ball told him that the crossbar rejected the shot!

Chen Xiaoliang stopped first, looked at the goal and shook his head, then smiled helplessly, turned his head and waved his hand to Kewa to express his gratitude.

Yan Qiang: "My God, at the Westfalenstadion today, Dortmund's goal seems to be under a spell, and they didn't even score like this!"

Xu Yang: "The replay is here, eh? Huh? Oh! Sure enough! Kerber's fingertips touched the ball, and the trajectory of the ball was slightly lifted up. If it wasn't for this point, it might have rubbed against the lower edge of the crossbar and scored a goal. !"

Mourinho was standing on the sidelines. When the ball bounced off the crossbar just now, he couldn't help throwing his head back and eyes closed.

But in any case, the team's tactical execution has been very successful so far. No. 2 in the Bundesliga has no decent chances, and Roma, under a series of threatening attacks, only needs a slightly luckier shot to win. Score lead.

Faced with such a wonderful drama of running back and forth and constantly exchanging offensive rounds with each other, the battle roar of the Westfalenstadion is like a giant pacemaker.

Their fans were not intimidated by Rome's sharp knife-like counterattack. On the contrary, the more they were in danger and the more bruised they were, the more excited they were because they finally saved the day.

It seems that they have never doubted that their favorite team can win at home.

In the 43rd minute, Bellingham received an inverted triangle pass from Adeyemi who broke into the left side of the penalty area in a tactical corner kick, and shot a long shot with the instep from the top of the arc outside the penalty area.

This is also the first time he directly threatened Rome's goal in this game.

半场控球60%比40%，射门却是5比9，角球则是2比4，作为客队的罗马表现得非常沉稳。

The two teams were in the locker room, listening to the head coach analyzing the opponent's on-the-spot tactics today.

Mourinho keeps emphasizing that don't blindly retreat to deal with the forward pressure of the opponent's midfield line. They use this artificial forward pressure to widen the distance between the back line and the midfield line. With relatively low pressure, the ball can be quickly passed from the backcourt to the frontcourt. On the other hand, it can not lose its position when Rome counterattacks.

At the same time, the too large midfield area can also make it impossible for the backcourt to play the ball. The two central midfielders, Ozcan and Bellingham, take the initiative to retreat to occupy a large unguarded space to form a new support on the ground. point.

All in all, he asked Wijnaldum and Kristante to cooperate with Chen Xiaoliang, and try more actively to not retreat so deep when the opponent's midfield moves forward, to cut off the opponent's defender's line of play.

Either force the opponent's midfielder to retreat and use the thinking of encircling Wei and saving Zhao to reduce the pressure on the defense, or force the opponent's defender to push forward with the ball to create space for the team to counterattack.

In another locker room, Terzic was also formulating tactics for the second half according to Mourinho's arrangement.

Both sides know how the opponent played in the first half, and they are guessing how the opponent will play in the second half, and then arrange targeted tactics like a game, hoping to win the first round of the contest.

Especially Dortmund, based on their current performance at home, did not meet the team's expectations before the game.

The second half came soon, the referee Markle blew the whistle to start the game, neither side made substitutions, and the game changed sides to fight again.

Roma's attack was unsuccessful, and Gwadio's long pass fell within the control of Emre Can, who also lobbed the ball directly to the left.

Adeyemi used his speed to steal the ball from Celik, and then dribbled it all the way to the baseline.

The flank was pierced, and both midfielders and Chen Xiaoliang had to return to defense.

Seeing the dense crowd in the middle, Adeyemi turned around and passed it back to the left back Guerrero. Guerrero directly kicked the shot from the left foot of the penalty area. The ball was shot very well, but the flight path of the ball was a bit erratic. Pat Licio didn't dare to catch it directly, so he jumped up and blocked the ball out of the penalty area with his palms.

Facing the falling ball, Chen Xiaoliang raised his head to observe the landing point and greeted it. Outside the penalty area, Bellingham also rushed over to fight for it!
Since the ball was flying from inside the penalty area, Bellingham, standing outside the penalty area and coming towards the ball, took the lead in taking off.

In less than a blink of an eye, Chen Xiaoliang also jumped up vigorously!

All the players from both sides who gathered near the penalty area in Rome raised their heads slightly, staring at the two people who were gliding in the air and were about to collide.
