Chapter 113 Princes and Generals, Would You Rather Have Kindness?
The camera captured that Callejon, who was replaced by the substitute goalkeeper, ran to Roma's bench after leaving the field and greeted Mourinho.
The two have a good past at Real Madrid.
Leading by one goal and playing one more man, Roma's offensive attempts became more frequent.
Break through, pass through, and immediately return to defense if you can't hit.
Like a wandering boxer, he is purely winning points and does not insist on knocking down his opponent with one punch.
On Fiorentina's side, their defensive resilience has not become loose because of this red card.
They have tightened their formation and are more patient in possession of the ball. If you just turned on the live broadcast and don't know what happened before, you may even feel that they have the upper hand on the field.
Callejon's end caused Fiorentina to lose an attacker and a point in front of the ball.
But it also gave Vlahovic more room to run.
I don’t know if it’s because the head coach Italiano yelled at him just now, but he started to go deep into the penalty area frequently, and instead of retreating to get the ball to fight with Chen Xiaoliang, he directly challenged the three central players. defender.
His partner Gonzalez turned into a wingman, wandering beside him to assist.
In the 33rd minute, Fiorentina captain Biraghi advanced to the middle and suddenly accelerated with the ball!
Karlsdorp was caught off guard and was completely passed over!
This scene happened in front of Mourinho standing on the sidelines, making him shake his head!Called Karlsdorp twice: "Focus! Focus!"
Because it is a three-back formation, once the wing backs lose, the wingers will give up.
Cristant, who is in charge of the right midfielder, is beyond his reach, and he has to mark the opponent's midfielder.
Biraghi ran all the way to the outside of the penalty area. Seeing that Mancini was about to leave the penalty area and come out to block himself, he kicked a cross directly!
The ball is neither high nor fast!
Passed to Gonzalez over Mancini!
Smalling was watching him!
The ball was not passed well, Gonzalez was backed up, and Smalling did not step forward to put pressure!
However, the Argentine striker is not the terminator of the offense. He faithfully fulfilled the task of wingman, and the header flicked back, and the ball fell lightly at Vlahovic's feet!
Vlahovic gets the ball with his back!Ibanez was staring at him half a meter behind him!
Midfielders Bonaventura and Purga approached the penalty area, and Chen Xiaoliang had to take care of them to prevent Vlahovic from returning to them with a long shot.
In just one or two seconds, Vlahovic touched the ball once, driving everyone in the half to run!
I saw him sticking to Ibanez, with a touch of his left foot, he turned halfway and hit the door directly!
This shot was extremely smooth, and the speed was so fast that Ibanez didn't even have time to reach out to intercept it!
The ball rolls to the goal!
Fortunately, Ibanez's body blocked most of the shooting angles. Patricio stood up ahead of time and fell firmly to the ground to catch the ball!
[Nowadays, it is really rare for a center forward to take the ball in the penalty area like this]
[Lukaku sneezed, then gave a thumbs up to the upstairs]
[Vlahovic is really talented in Fiorentina, he deserves to play for a giant]
【Roma doesn't feel like hitting one more person at all】
[Mourinho 11 hits 10 and still needs to take the bus?Honey operation...]
...
Ibanez let out a long sigh of relief, Chen Xiaoliang stepped forward and patted his butt, and Ibanez was a little moved!
When Karlsdorp returned to his position, Mourinho once again reminded him to always pay attention to the position behind him!
No matter how others speculate, the current situation is not what Mourinho wants!
But it seems that except for Abraham, Chen Xiaoliang and Patricio's three new aids, everyone else's bodies are in a tense state!
It's like it's the first time for a young player to play in a professional league!
It's been too long since Rome has received such a high level of attention.
The last time they were paid attention to by the whole world was when Totti retired in July 2017!
After that, Roma gradually became a team with no stars and no news, and it began to get farther and farther away from the Serie A championship, so far away from the possibility of winning the championship.
The players on the team have also slowly accepted this reality, and a part of their minds have already acquiesced that they are ordinary members of a mediocre team.
The arrival of Mourinho has brought back the topic and attention again!Even far more than ever!
A player like Ibanez never expected that the video of himself being crushed by his opponent and scoring a header in the last game would have comments in various languages underneath.His name can still be remembered by fans all over the world-but in an ugly way.
This kind of attention and public opinion has virtually put a lot of pressure on these Roma players who are used to being in the top five or six in the league.
Originally, after losing a game, the local fans scolded for a day or two before it passed.
But now, they never expected that the team would be questioned and ridiculed by the media after only losing a few pre-season friendly matches.
Every mistake will be taken out and magnified, and every missed goal will be played repeatedly on the net.
What's more, they will be compared with the players in the same position that Mourinho once brought.
Why can't Abraham reach Drogba's height at all, Pellegrini is far behind Lampard, and Christian can at most replace Essien's leg.
Those fans and the media were short of saying that famous quote for Mourinho:
"Mourinho also has reason to say, what team did I lead? I led Real Madrid! Who are you people? You asked me to lead. What is the current level of Roman football? Just a few people, Ibanez is playing central defender and everything! Can he play? Can’t play, don’t you know if he doesn’t have the ability?”
Facing the situation on the court, Joao was also a little anxious.
However, it is only more than 30 minutes now, and it is too early to make substitutions and adjustments.
Mourinho frowned, walking back and forth in the coaching area following the movement of the ball.
He was waiting until the catfish he had put into the pile of sardines started to stir, if not, he would have to reach in and stir in the second half!
Patricio kicks off and passes to Cristante.
The Italian midfielder took the ball forward to observe, and the opponent's striker Gonzalez came over to press!
To be on the safe side, he could only pass the ball back to Mancini behind him.
Vlahović stuck up to Mancini again!
Under pressure, the Roma vice-captain had no choice but to kick the ball forward, but the ball did not go far, and was caught by the Fiorentina midfielder Joseph Mahler!
Mahler directly hoisted it to Vlahovic in front!
Vlahovic leaned on Mancini, unloaded the ball with his chest, turned around and shot with a flick of his right foot!
Chen Xiaoliang rushed into Christant's defense zone and shoveled the ball out of the penalty area directly to the bottom line!
The fans at the scene exclaimed!Pausing for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the referee pointing his finger at the corner.
Vlahovic who was knocked down was a little annoyed, and when he got up, he cursed at Chen Xiaoliang, telling him to move more slowly!
Without saying a word, Chen Xiaoliang got up and punched Vlahovic in the face!Eyes glaring at him!
Mancini and Gonzalez hurried forward to pull these two away!
Christante was stunned!
The media has always compared Chen Xiaoliang with those defensive midfielders in the past, especially with Gattuso who also spent a year with the Glasgow Rangers.
Christian scoffed at this, and the few players in his small circle in the locker room also dismissed it, thinking that this guy was just running left and right and jumping up and down with a burst of momentum.
However, at this moment, when he saw that he dared to make fierce steals in the penalty area, and then when faced with provocations, he was like a butcher who could kill at any time, and he was too lazy to say a word of nonsense to go up and eat his opponents alive. I suspect that what I saw was Gattuso.
That Gattuso who was promoted to the first team in Milan and played together for three years, that Gattuso who looked at you when he was expressionless would make you feel shocked!
After vice-captain Mancini pulled Chen Xiaoliang away, he was also swept by his torch-like eyes.
Ma Dan!Why is this man from the Red Country so annoying!He is obviously a young player transferred from a low-level league like the Soviet Super League!
Soon, like Ibanez, he will realize why!
The referee whistles!Biraghi takes the corner!
The short flat ball hangs back!
Fiorentina 195's main central defender Milenkovic jumped high, rubbed the ball with his head at a height that ordinary people could not reach, and ferried to the middle!
Vlahovic moves ahead of the point!He attracted the attention of three defenders!
Bonaventura, who was on the penalty spot in the middle, had been waiting for a long time, and when he met the ball, he shot a volley in the air!
Christant put his hands behind his back and crossed his body to block the ball!
The ball bounced back, Bonaventura wanted to control the ball and shoot again, but Chen Xiaoliang flashed over from the side!Kicked the ball directly to the frontcourt with a strong kick that seemed to kill someone!
Bonaventura was so frightened that he subconsciously put away his hands and feet!
Abraham, who was cruising in the frontcourt, got entangled with the opponent's right back Venuti!He used his physical advantage to hold down Venuti and caught the ball!Then with a heel knock and a turn, he got rid of Venuti's defense and sprinted forward!
In the restricted area, Chen Xiaoliang didn't stop at the same spot after he cleared the siege, he rushed up immediately after landing!At this time, there were eight defensive players piled up near the penalty area, and only Abraham and Pellegrini, who were slightly behind, were near the midfield line.
By the time the others reacted, Chen Xiaoliang had already run into the middle arc!
Soon, a three-on-three situation was formed in the frontcourt!
Biraghi chased back while staring at Pellegrini on the side!
Venuti ran desperately, trying to catch up with Abraham's long legs!
Behind him is Chen Xiaoliang, and behind him is Purga who reacted the fastest and chased him back and forth!
Abraham brought to the penalty area!
Biraghi had no choice but to give up Pellegrini and rush towards Abraham!Otherwise, Abraham will face the goalkeeper directly and form a single goal!
When he was running, he took a route as much as possible to block the passing opportunities between Abraham and Pellegrini!
Abraham looked up, the angle of the shot was a bit small!If you pass the ball, you may be intercepted!He was hesitating whether to pass or shoot, when he heard a familiar voice behind him shouting his name!
"Tammy! Tammy!"
This voice is my own!He twisted his body and passed it back!
Chen Xiaoliang received the ball and immediately pushed it to the left to Pellegrini!Now Biraghi's route blocking is completely meaningless!
The captain of Rome adjusted his footsteps after receiving the ball!shoot!
Draw near corner!
Fiorentina substitute goalkeeper Terracciano tried his best to save from the left post to the right post, but it was still beyond his reach!
The ball went in! 2 to 0!
Chen Xiaoliang and Abraham ran up excitedly and hugged and celebrated with Pellegrini!
Pellegrini did not expect that the one who assisted him turned out to be the new aid in front of him who seemed to only steal!
While running up to celebrate the goal, Ibanez said several times in his heart, "Fuck!"
He never thought that Chen Xiaoliang could run so fast at full speed!The sense of response and position selection is still so good!Compared with him, I don't look like a Brazilian player at all!
Mourinho on the sidelines also clenched his fists and raised his arms to celebrate!
The Olympic Stadium turned into a sea of passion!The fans are shouting the name of captain Pellegrini!
Huang Jianxiang: "At least [-]% of the credit for this goal must be credited to Chen Xiaoliang."
Zhang Lu: "That's right, the defense just now, the corner kick clearance, running from the penalty area to the opponent's penalty area, then responding, and then assisting, in less than 20 seconds, Chen Xiaoliang changed from defense to offense in one go. Of course, Abraham is also very important , Without his turn around, break through and push forward with the ball, the goal would not have been scored."
Huang Jianxiang: "This ball has a bit of the feeling that Inter Milan played against Barcelona back then. The three of them cooperated really well. No one can do without this ball."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, he's not fighting alone."
Two people: "Hahahaha!"
In the next 10 minutes, Fiorentina, who fell behind by two goals and was stunned by a quick counterattack, never pressed forward again. Although they had about 55% of the ball possession rate, they did not create any chances and kept the score until the end of halftime.
Surprisingly, Mourinho did not show a look of joy in the locker room. Instead, he named and criticized all the problems that the team showed in the first half.
Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself, Gerrard would be replaced, and although he would emphasize tactics at this time, it must be in an encouraging and praising tone.
But what Mourinho said is true.
The team ran too little to count as a goalkeeper. The average run in the first half was only 4800 meters. According to this rhythm, few players in the whole team could run more than [-] meters. This means that the team is basically standing. playing football.
Without running, where is the defensive pressure?
Without running, where is the opportunity to attack?
Not only that, Mourinho pointed to Chen Xiaoliang and Abraham, the top two runners on the data sheet, one at 5500 meters and the other at 5200 meters, and he still thinks they can run more aggressively.
Chen Xiaoliang really felt that today's physical exertion was not as good as in the second half of the Rangers league.
In the end, Mourinho warned the players that even if one player is missed, Fiorentina will not catch them in the second half. As long as they make a mistake, they will definitely grasp it, because the opponent's coach sits on the coach who wants to win more than anyone else!
He was right. In Fiorentina's locker room at this time, coach Italiano was adjusting his tactics for the second half, asking players to press more and encouraging them to find ways to win even in adversity.
The new Fiorentina coach led Spezia to Serie A in the 19-20 season and successfully avoided relegation last season.
Because of this achievement in leading the team, on July 7 this year, he officially became the head coach of Fiorentina.
However, like Mourinho, he also faced many doubts when he took office. Only the experience of leading a team to relegation is not enough to convince Viola fans.
He also urgently needs to use good results in the new season to prove that he is the right candidate for the team.
Football coaching is like that, a job that is always accompanied by great pressure.
Mourinho wants to use his determination and tactics to let Roma players gradually understand that they are no worse than players from Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan. There is no rule that the championship must be produced between these three clubs !Rome can also be qualified to compete for the championship!
And Italiano also wants to use his determination and tactics to let the club and fans understand that even in the face of a champion coach with outstanding achievements, he still has the opportunity to make the team win!
There will be another chapter to come. I have been too busy these two days. I apologize to the directors. There will be more time starting tomorrow. In short, I will keep updating anyway, and I apologize again.
