Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Transferring is a normal thing for professional football players, and it is even more common to play against their old clubs after the transfer.

Some players will choose to refuse to celebrate and show respect after scoring against their old clubs.

But today.

When Roma was full of malice and no respect for Cassano.

Cassano chose the most arrogant and wanton way to celebrate.

Since there is no old friendship, how can we talk about respect?

Today.

It is destined to be a battle that completely separates Cassano and Roma!

.........................................

The game is reopened.

Manchester City took the lead 1:0, forcing Roma to further strengthen its offensive enthusiasm and seek opportunities to equalize the score.

Under Spalletti's creation.

Today, Roma, which played a 4-5-1 formation, did not use the offensive tactics of a traditional Serie A team, but rather had a bit of the flavor of the Premier League.

Focus on quick short passes in the midfield after the formation is opened.

Then, with the help of the dribbling and breakthrough abilities of Williamson and Manic on the left and right sides, they opened up space and created opportunities for crosses.

The role of Roma's 1.86-meter-tall Montenegrin center forward Mirko Vucinic is to help the team pull Manchester City's penalty area defense and stir up the penalty area.

As the game progresses.

The weakness of this Roma's offensive end is gradually exposed.

The personal abilities of the left and right forwards Williamson and Manic are too mediocre. Under the tacit cooperation and coordinated defense of Manchester City's flanks.

It is difficult to have the ability to tear open Manchester City's flank defense directly by one person.

So.

Roma's players had to try every possible way.

Send the football to the feet of Francesco Totti, the wolf king who is the front midfielder and captain.

Use the ability of this Italian international.

To create opportunities.

The reason why Totti can be called the wolf king and bear the absolute core of this Roma.

Not only because he has been in Roma for 10 years, but more importantly, he does have a very talented and creative frontcourt organization ability.

In the Champions League group stage and the round of 16, Roma relied on Totti's ability to control the game and came all the way.

But today.

Javi Martinez's defense against Totti was too good.

The young Spaniard could not limit Totti 100%, but chose to cleverly cut off the connection between Totti and striker Vucinic.

The result was.

When Totti took the ball in the frontcourt, it was difficult to make a threatening pass.

Roma's offense fell into a deadlock.

As for Manchester City.

There are too many options.

Not to mention the pressure that Su Fei gave Roma near the penalty area, just Cassano, who was in great form today, made Roma's defense miserable.

..................................................

In the 42nd minute, near the end of the halftime.

Totti, who was dribbling the ball in the middle of the front court, was pressed by Martinez and Cannavaro.

He lost the ball again.

Cannavaro made a long pass from the middle to promote Manchester City's counterattack.

Su Fei headed the ball from the middle to Modric on the left.

Modric and Cassano played a two-on-one match.

Cassano received Modric's return pass behind Roma central defender Chivo.

He took a step forward and took a big step.

"Manchester City's chance!"

"Cassano has already dribbled past Roma's defense!"

"One-on-one!"

"This is a one-on-one opportunity!"

"The players in Roma's backcourt are rushing towards Cassano, trying to surround him and stop him."

"But Cassano is fast!"

"A clever dribbling change of direction, he once again avoided Mex's approach!"

"Cassano!!"

"Facing the proactive Roma goalkeeper Doni!"

"Calmly push the ball into the far corner!"

"This ball..."

"GGGG---OOOO---AAAA-- -LLLL!"

"GGGOOOAAALLL!"

"GOAL! !"

"The ball goes in!"

"Cassano! !"

"Facing his old club Roma, he scored twice!"

"With a few minutes left in the first half, Manchester City led 2:0, further expanding their lead!"

"This goal!"

"Manchester City's counterattack was really beautiful, Cannavaro's long pass counterattack was decisive, Su Fei's header was very accurate, and Modric and Cassano's cooperation was also very tacit!"

-[Okay, I recognize you, God of Cards!]

-[I thinkCassano is right, Roma is really not good, haha, as long as Totti is restricted, the offense is completely a mess. 】

-【Roma didn't expect that the player they let go last year would become a sharp blade to kill themselves in this year's Champions League knockout round! 】

-【Haha, nice, it's a sure thing! ! ! 】

For Manchester City fans, seeing Cassano in such an excellent state against Roma is very satisfying.

But for the more than 80,000 Red Wolves fans in the Olympic Stadium in Rome, it is more uncomfortable than eating shit.

Traitor.

The traitor in their mouth.

Pushing Roma closer to the abyss step by step.

On the court.

After Cassano hugged Modric excitedly, he rushed to the corner again.

He slid and knelt for a long time, leaving three stripes on the grass.

Today.

It is destined to be a game for the Barry boy.

The Roma players looked at each other, unable to hide their disappointment. They could not grit their teeth now, and could only helplessly watch Cassano's arrogant expression at home.

Su Fei was really happy for Cassano.

After more than a year of getting along.

He had long regarded this Italian bad boy as his good brother.

And Su Fei.

Did not mind continuing to push his brother from behind.

...............................................

In the 46th minute, in the first half stoppage time.

Roma, who was a little confused, lost the ball again in the frontcourt.

Totti's through ball to his teammate Vucinic was predicted by Cannavaro in advance and intercepted to Martinez nearby.

Martinez sent a long diagonal pass from the left.

After Modric got the ball.

One step at a time.

Dribbling with big strides.

Came to the frontcourt.

When Pizarro approached him, he passed the ball sideways to Su Fei in the middle.

Su Fei exploded.

He dribbled the ball and knocked away Mex who was defending.

He rushed into the penalty area.

Then, he faked a shot and passed the ball. His right leg, raised high, changed its strength the moment it touched the ball.

The ball passed under the crotch of Roma center back Chivu.

He accurately found Cassano who was inserting from the right side of the penalty area.

Cassano made a lob shot.

The ball went into the upper right corner of the goal with a swirl and arc.

"GGGG---OOOO---AAAA---LLLL!"

"GGGOOOAAALLL!"

"GOAL!!"

"Hat trick!!"

"Cassano!!"

"With the assist from Su Fei, Cassano scored a goal."

"3:0!"

"Manchester City scored two goals in a row near the end of the first half!"

"Cassano also scored his third goal of the game, a hat trick!"

"Oh my god!"

"Cassano, who returned to his old club's stadium, played like a Golden Ball-level super winger today!"

"We have reason to doubt!"

"Cassano may have heard it wrong. Did he take the boos from the audience as encouragement for himself? Haha."

Manchester City led 3:0 at halftime. Wang Tao in the ESPN live broadcast room was in a good mood and couldn't help but make a joke.

It was just a joke.

For Roma fans, it was a bit murderous.
