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

Chapter 132 What should I do if I make a foul?
After the opening, in the torrential rain, Roma continued to look for opportunities and organized in the frontcourt, while Verona took advantage of counterattack opportunities and also played several attacks.

In the 3rd minute, Verona's Serbian left winger Lazovic passed Manic with a beautiful crotch, and then hit the goal from a small angle, which was blocked by Patricio, but the line referee gave an offside first.

In the 6th minute, Verona's Argentine striker Simeone took the ball with his back along the penalty area, leaned on Christante and turned and volleyed, slightly wide.

In the 9th minute, Lazovic made a comeback. After breaking through Carafioli on the left, he cut in and hit the goal, which was blocked by Christante.

Although the scene is dominant, Verona's three attacks still made Mourinho yell loudly on the sidelines, reminding the players not to underestimate the enemy and pay attention to the oppression of defense.

In the 11th minute, Zaniolo made a pass from the left and was picked off by Verona goalkeeper Mondiper.

In the 13th minute, Wu Lei reversed offside and quickly moved forward. After receiving a pass from Pellegrini, he made a cross. Abraham received the ball at the top of the arc in the penalty area, but stopped and was cleared by the opponent's defender.

In the 15th minute, Pellegrini took a free kick about 35 meters from the right. Christant shook his head and hit the goal. The ball hit the top of the crossbar and went out of bounds!

After Rome focused on side defense, Verona increased the frequency of long-range shots from the center. Since Chen Xiaoliang was not on the court, Christian could not cover the entire front of the penalty area by himself. Verona's tactics were very effective.

In the 21st minute, Verona's Czech midfielder Anthony Ballack directly kicked a long shot 5 meters from the top of the penalty area. The angle was a little more positive and was hugged by Patricio.

In the 26th minute, Zaniolo forced a breakthrough shot under the double-team of the two, but failed to pass to Abraham, who was in a better position, and was blocked by the opponent's defender.

Abraham reached out his hand to Zaniolo, but Zaniolo chose to ignore it, and Mourinho couldn't help shaking his head.

The game ushered in a change in the 35th minute!
Carafioli made a pass from the right, and the ball touched the body of the Verona defender and changed its direction slightly. Thinking of such a shooting action, the save from the near corner was not enough, and the score became 0 to 1!

In the 38th minute, Zaniolo ran with the ball again, chose to ignore Abraham's running gap again, and forced a shot again.The ball accidentally hit Abraham's body and popped out of the baseline...

This time Abraham no longer just reached out to complain, but directly questioned Zaniolo.

It's fine if you don't pass the ball to yourself, but if you blindly shoot yourself, what does that mean?
Zaniolo couldn't avoid it this time, so he had to explain it reluctantly.

Mourinho looked at the lack of tacit cooperation on the field, only felt that the rain kept falling, and the atmosphere was very unharmonious...

In the 46th minute, Pellegrini made a pass from the right. Wu Lei failed to compete for the opponent's defender. The ball was cleared and the halftime ended.

Although the two teams were basically equal in possession rate in the first half, Roma took the lead in the number of passes and shots.

Facing the heavier rain, Mourinho still asked the players to be patient and use more long passes and high passes to organize offenses. After all, in heavy rain, the path and speed of low and flat balls will be quite different from usual.

The leading score did not allow Mourinho to make substitution adjustments.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the second half, Verona used Mourinho's tactical thinking to equalize the score.

In the 48th minute, Verona's main striker Caprari came to the left to catch the ball and made a pass from the bottom. Roma's deputy Mancini struggled to chase back and clear the siege in the penalty area. His long legs slid on the turf in the rain Poked the ball towards his own goal!
Patricio reacted quickly and sent a lightning-like side throw, but the saved ball was shot into the goal by Verona's high-speed midfielder Anthony Ballack!

1 is better than 1!

Verona equalized the score!

Terry, Lucio, Carvalho, Ramos...

Mourinho, who has led many excellent central defenders in his coaching career, looked at Mancini's stupid clearance, and really wanted to scold him but couldn't...

That's all he has. He has the awareness to clear the siege in his head, but he doesn't have the technique to clear the siege under his feet.

Mourinho stood helplessly in the heavy rain, letting the cold rain slap on his face indiscriminately...

There is one thing to say, compared to Mancini, captain Pellegrini's performance in this game is remarkable.

He worked hard in the rain after fighting continuously. The rise of Chen Xiaoliang and other newcomers, and the transfer of the right to speak in the locker room made him feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

In the 51st minute, he received a pass from Cristante, broke through the double-teaming of Verona's three defenders, and went all the way from the middle circle to the opponent's penalty area. He hit the goal with his foot and was blocked from the bottom line by the goalkeeper.

This goal made every coach and player on the bench applaud him.

However, only 2 minutes later, in the 53rd minute, another midfielder of Verona, the Serbian Ilic sent a through pass to the left, and the head forward Caprari received the ball and advanced.

Although Caprari's dribbling speed was not fast, and Roma had four players surrounding him one after another, everyone seemed to think that his teammates would step down, and he only needed to double-team and put some pressure on him.

So, under such spectators, Caprari scored a low shot from the far corner on the left side of the penalty area, and Verona 2-1 Roma!

Mourinho was very disappointed and asked Joao to arrange for the players to start warming up.

In the 55th minute, Anthony Ballack shot again from long distance, slightly higher.

In the 57th minute, Roma counterattacked. Pellegrini advanced from the left and made a pass. His leg touched the ball and it bounced into his own goal.

Verona 2 to 2 Rome!The two sides returned to the same starting line again!
Just as the Roma players were warming up and ready to play, in the 62nd minute, Verona player Faraoni, who served as a wing back in this game, did not stop when receiving a pass from his teammate outside the penalty area, and the ball bounced off his feet. He swung his kick directly at the ball, unexpectedly hit a world wave, the ball flew towards the goal, hit the eaves of the crossbar and bounced into the goal!
Verona 3 to 2 Rome!

The two sides scored 10 goals in less than 3 minutes!
In the 64th minute, both sides made substitutions at the same time.

Zaniolo, who performed poorly and only knew how to dribble the ball, was replaced by Bove.

Maraiol, who was diligent but not bright, was replaced by Carles Perez.

There was one assist, but like Karlsdorp against Tottenham, Calafioli, who was guarding the right flank and was blown up by Verona, was replaced by Smalling.

Pellegrini, who was clearly fatigued, was replaced by Mkhitaryan.

Mancini, whose performance was a disaster, was replaced by teenager Trippi.

Mourinho used up five substitutions in one go.

Chen Xiaoliang was not allowed to play, on the one hand, because Mourinho found that he underestimated the exhaustion of the team, resulting in no state, so he did not send him, Weiletu and Cesco to play, and quickly replaced Pellegrini , Staying strong for the next league game against Udinese.

On the other hand, Mourinho still firmly believes that the rotation players in his hands are fully capable of achieving a reversal here.

In the 66th minute, Carles Perez kicked away with a long shot.

In the 68th minute, Lazovic, who was extremely active on the wing, passed Smalling, rushed into the penalty area and made an inverted triangle pass, which was first destroyed by Trippi who had just played.

In the 71st minute, Lazovic succeeded again with the same routine, breaking through the penalty area and passing it to Caprari in an inverted triangle. The latter's push was bravely resolved by Patricio, and the score almost became 4 to 2!

In the 77th minute, Carles Perez made a cross from the right, and Abraham headed the ball wide.

In the 88th minute, Mkhitaryan shot from a long distance. He didn't get the right spot of the ball. He lacked strength and was confiscated by Verona goalkeeper Mondiper.

In the 92nd minute, Abraham's cross was blocked, Wu Lei followed up and missed the goal, and missed another chance to tie.

At the end of the game, Roma unexpectedly lost 3 to 2 away to Verona, which was second to last.

At the press conference after the game, Mourinho denounced the schedule of the league organizing committee, repeatedly emphasizing that such intensive league arrangements, regardless of the European teams running back and forth, are murdering players.

At the same time, Italian teams have performed poorly in European competitions at all levels in recent years, and the Italian Football Association must reflect on the league's schedule.

Today's loss was completely caused by such a stupid schedule.

Back in the locker room, Mourinho analyzed the reasons for tonight's failure to the players for a long time.

The two goals in this game, one is Pellegrini's fairy heel ball, which is itself a factor of luck.

The other is the opponent's own goal.

It is equivalent to the team not organizing a shot that can be converted into a goal through tactics.

The weakness in offense is certainly due to heavy rain and fatigue, but the rigid running of the forward line and the fact that there are always no points in crossing from the side are the fundamental problems.

Defensively, the sideways were still blasted. In the second half, due to lack of physical strength, the force and confrontation of the opponent's players were greatly reduced.

There is also the defense in front of the penalty area. Several long-range shots were due to the inability of the midfielder and midfielder to protect the front of the penalty area, allowing the opponent to frequently launch long-range shots.

Mourinho talked to the tactical board for a long time, almost retracing the process of the game one by one, every time the opponent had a threatening attack.

Chen Xiaoliang could see that he was very disappointed, but he, known as a madman, would not admit that he was overly confident and underestimated the enemy in the formation before the match.

From another point of view, he doesn't have many cards to play, and the three youth players have all been given opportunities. It is impossible for a team with combat effectiveness to rely on 11 main players to complete the entire game. In the season, both the rotation and the substitute players of the first team must be involved.

Chen Xiaoliang actually wanted to play. If he was in the Rangers, he would not be in the locker room. He would send text messages to Gerrard on the plane, hotel, or car, telling him that he wanted to play.

Of course, this is not disrespect to Gerrard, but a frank communication based on the high degree of mutual trust between the two.

But Mourinho's character does not allow players to do this, and Chen Xiaoliang knows this clearly.

In the club he coaches, even if you are Ronaldo, you cannot override him.

Even when he was under a lot of pressure at Manchester United, he still bit the bullet and put Mr. Pogba on the bench in a row.

Chen Xiaoliang knew that Mourinho valued him very much, and even in order to improve his team status and crack down on his old bad habits, the female reporter Portman was also involved.

But even so, the extremely conceited and proud Portuguese will not allow players to tell him who should play and who should not play.

According to the principles of a madman, this is a capital offense against the rules of heaven.

After losing this round, Roma still has 10 points, but the ranking dropped to 5th.

Inter Milan beat Bologna 6-1 at home and ranked fourth with 11 points.

Roma's next round opponent Udinese lost 0 to 4 at home to Naples. Naples won five consecutive victories and continued to lead strongly with 15 points.

Juventus, which is not doing well recently, drew with AC Milan 1-1 at home. Morata and Ibrahimovic each scored a goal in the second half.

AC Milan ranked second with 13 points, and Juventus ranked 2th with 5 points.

Fiorentina won Genoa 1-2 away, accumulating 12 points ahead of Roma and Inter Milan and ranked third.

Lazio drew with Cagliari 2-2, with 8 points with Atalanta, who won a small victory in this round, ranking 6th and 7th, closely following Rome.

Fortunately, the team finally ended a wave of high-pressure matches. After returning to Rome, although Mourinho had a lot of dissatisfaction, he still gave the main players a day off.

The next round will be at home to Udinese in seven days.

Udinese is currently ranked 7th with 9 points and is not an easy opponent to deal with.

However, their offensive ability is poor, and they only scored 5 goals in 6 league rounds, ranking in the lower reaches of the league.

After Chen Xiaoliang got home, he refused to go out for anything, and just wanted to stay at home for a few days.

He was really tired of eating Western food on the plane and in the hotel every day. He asked David to help him buy some ingredients, and planned to make some hometown dishes at home to save his stomach.

Come on, get a chicken first.

It's fine to kill chickens for nothing, it's weird to associate football players with this thing.

Make a chicken soup.

Get another fat intestine.

Well, anyway, Helena is not here, so you can eat freely, after all, in the eyes of foreigners, eating this stuff is no different from eating shit...

Finally, fry a dish.

That's it, a person is at ease!

Chen Xiaoliang was at home all afternoon. Apart from practicing on the treadmill for a while, the rest was surfing the Internet and cooking.

Because I didn't play in the last game, I only got 1 training point for the task of entering the squad, 6→7, and I had to rely on the usual training to make up for it.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, I was eating alone at home when the doorbell rang.

As soon as Chen Xiaoliang opened the door, he remembered that he had made an appointment with Wu Mi to take Italian class today.

He invited Wu Mi into the house, but then again, this was his house...

"Sorry, I'm eating..."

Looking at the half-eaten sausage on the table... Chen Xiaoliang was a little embarrassed... hurriedly said that he was full, cleaned up, and the class began.

Chen Xiaoliang looked at Wu Mi, who was wearing a black dress, and she had put on makeup today, not the light makeup from last time, it was so beautiful.

Anyway, you have to listen carefully in class, and you have to stare at the teacher with both eyes.

Wu Mi taught something, Chen Xiaoliang said something, in short, no matter what was taught, he could learn it immediately.

Teaching and teaching, it turned into two people chatting in Italian.

Of course, from time to time, Chen Xiaoliang will deliberately say wrong grammar, or pretend not to know how to say a certain word.

However, in Wu Mi's eyes, this person in front of him is completely different from the football player he remembered. He is simply the embodiment of wisdom and a genius of learning!

And... he looks sharp and angular, the more handsome he looks...

"Teacher, I always feel that you look like a person..."

"Oh, don't always call me teacher, I feel very old, you can call me Susan or Xiao Mi."

"Xiao...Xiao Mi, do you know Little Jew and Little Rich Woman? It's that TV series, very famous in Hong Kong!"

Wu Mi covered her mouth and smiled softly: "How do you know this, you are only 17 years old."

Damn, you're showing your age!

Wu Mi continued to ask: "Then which one do I look like? A little Jew or a little rich woman?"

"Little rich woman." Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself, she was a little rich woman, so she quickly added, "But you are prettier than her."

Wu Mi blushed and smiled politely, but the twinkle in her eyes couldn't conceal her elation.

"You are only 19 years old, don't you know that too?"

"Everyone in Hong Kong knows that, even young people, every time the stock market goes bad, someone will mention this TV series."

Chen Xiaoliang found out that after chatting for a long time, he didn't pour a cup of water, so he got up and said to make tea.

But the problem is that he forgot to ask David to buy tea or tea bags, and he searched the kitchen for a long time but couldn't find any in stock at home.

"Here, when the house was handed over to Mr. Reese, I told him, probably he forgot to tell you."

As Wu Mi said, he walked to a corner of the kitchen, moved over the step stool, stepped on it, and opened the door of a closet.

Sure enough, there are many kinds of tea leaves and tea bags in it!
Chen Xiaoliang cursed in his heart: "Damn!"Riise, you second-hand pen, don't say what you need to say, it makes me embarrassed!

Who would have thought that Wu Mi was turning around with tea in his hand and was about to come down, when he accidentally stepped on the ground and fell down!

Chen Xiaoliang was familiar with this scene.

On the court, no matter how fast a person or how big a ball is, it is difficult to pass him, let alone now?

He fell to the ground and flew the shovel!Hug Wu Mi!Let her fall on her body with a strong attribute of 15!

A false alarm, did not fall to the ground!

but!Chen Xiaoliang has a handball!
But but!Although Wu Mi didn't fall down, she twisted her foot and couldn't walk. Chen Xiaoliang had to keep dribbling and carried her to the sofa in the living room!
Chen Xiaoliang yelled in his heart: Mo Dan!Riser, you are a genius, you don't say what you need to say, it makes me...a little embarrassed...

Wu Mi blushed and did not give a handball penalty to a football player.

Chen Xiaoliang's heart was pounding, and he hurried to make tea, thinking to himself, what should we do this late at night?
She sprained her foot, and it was impossible to go home by herself. In fact, another way of thinking, this is also her home.

But at her age, at my age, people are crushed to death with their tongues, some can talk but can't listen, even jumping into the Yellow River can't clean it up...

After brewing the fragrant tea, Chen Xiaoliang brought it over, you have a cup...I have a cup...

I don't know what kind of tea it is, but it is very fragrant, just like Chen Xiaoliang's hand that dribbled the ball just now, it instantly dispelled the remaining smell of chicken soup and fat intestines.

"Xiao Liang...can you...can you take me home? My ankle is sprained and I can't drive..."

This scene, this situation, this atmosphere, if there are difficulties, we should help, and if there are no difficulties, we should also help!

"Old Wu...Xiao Mi, may I help you see the extent of the sprain?"

Wu Mi blushed and nodded.

Chen Xiaoliang sat next to her, picked up her leg, put it on his lap, touched and touched, looked and looked.

"Well... it seems to be quite serious, I suggest you not to move around... and you live alone, and when you go home, if it gets serious tomorrow, no one will take you to the hospital.

Or... just stay here for one night, anyway, you are familiar with it, and then tomorrow I will take you to the club's training base and let the team doctor take a look at it for you? "

"Hmm..." Wu Mi blushed even more.

There are two bedrooms in this big house, and the other one was originally reserved for David, but now David and his son live together in a rented house.

Chen Xiaoliang left his bedroom to Wu Mi, and slept in another one.

Early the next morning, the two arrived at the club, earlier than usual!

Although it was a bit strange, after listening to Chen Xiaoliang's explanation, the team doctor thought that the popular fried chicken in the team had a request, and it was such a trivial matter, there was no reason to refuse it.

After a checkup, I only sprained my foot. Although no bones or ligaments were injured, it will take about a week to recover.

So this week, apart from training, Chen Xiaoliang also learned foreign languages ​​in the morning and evening, and he took Wu Mi wherever she wanted to go.

The level of Italian has "improved by leaps and bounds".

Until a week later, the day before the game against Udinese.

After the team doctor examined Wu Mi, she said that her injuries were all healed, but Wu Mi always said that she still had some pain when walking, and the team doctor repeatedly confirmed that she was definitely fine.

At this time, the new Roma boss Dan Friedkin walked to the team doctor's room accompanied by Mourinho. Behind him was an old man from the Red Country wearing gold-rimmed glasses and combing the oily Sanqi development style. .

"Boss, coach."

Chen Xiaoliang got up and greeted the two of them.

He was still worried about whether he would be scolded if he brought someone to the club for treatment privately, but Mourinho pulled him away with a smile on his face.

"You can do it, kid. I really didn't see the wrong person."

"What?" Chen Xiaoliang was confused.

Who knows, what Wu Mi said next shocked him even more!

"Daddy... why are you here..."

What?Our American boss is her father?Could it be... Godfather?That kind of...relationship...godfather?
Wang Defa? !

Unexpectedly, Dan Friedkin didn't speak, and the old man with red hair next to him said: "Dan and I are good friends, you told me that I was injured, and I was treated at his place. I just arrived in Rome yesterday. Come and thank him."

Dan Friedkin looked joyful, and instructed the team doctor and sports science director to make a good diagnosis and treatment, make a full diagnosis and treatment, and make a desperate diagnosis and treatment.

"Coach, what's the situation?" Chen Xiaoliang asked in a low voice.

"You don't know? Are you pretending to be stupid? No wonder Riise wanted her to be your language teacher." Mourinho said so, but the joy on his face couldn't be concealed.

"I really don't know, where is there an extra father?"

Mourinho pulled Chen Xiaoliang aside again: "Our American boss sells cars, and his net worth can probably rank around 600 on the world's richest list.

The daddy of your Italian teacher, he can be ranked around 100.

I heard that in Hong Kong, he is a powerful figure, but in Italy, whether he is a businessman or the Mafia, he has to sell him a third of his face.

Ahem, the boss said, it is up to you whether you can break through the Financial Fair Play Act. "

Fuck!Where is this little rich woman!This is a super rich woman!

No, I'm still in charge of attracting investment as a midfielder? !

Thinking about it again, the Blackfoot...Chen Xiaoliang was in a cold sweat!

Fortunately, I did nothing but handball this week!otherwise…

Boss Wu, who had chatted with Wu Mi for a while, turned to look at Chen Xiaoliang: "Are you Chen Xiaoliang?"

"Uh...yes...Daddy...no no no! Mr. Wu..."

Mourinho glanced sideways at Chen Xiaoliang, thinking: "Just call him daddy and pretend to be a fool, this kid is fine... No wonder Gerrard wants to marry his daughter to him.

In fact, I also have a daughter who is only 24 years old...and single..."

Boss Wu: "Thank you for taking care of my daughter these days. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Come to my house for dinner next week. I'm also a football fan."

"Okay, be sure to be on time for the appointment!"

Chen Xiaoliang and Mourinho accompanied the boss at the gate of the base to watch the extended version of Cullinan of Wu boss drive him and his daughter away, and came to the tactical conference room refreshed.

The players found out that the head coach who had been depressed for a week because of the loss to Verona, why is he in such a good mood today?

Mourinho didn't go around in circles, and directly announced the starting lineup and requirements for the end game!
Goalkeeper: Patricio!

Three central defenders: Trippi, Smalling and Ibanez!

Two wingbacks: Mkhitaryan and Zalevski!

Defenders: Chen Xiaoliang and Wei Letu!

Front midfielder: Pellegrini!

Forwards: Cesco and Abraham!
Udinese used the 352 formation at the beginning of the season, but there is no obvious distinction between the front midfielder and the midfielder in the three midfielders.

The most threatening player in the team is the Spaniard Deulofeu, who came from Barcelona's youth training, has been to Everton, Sevilla, AC Milan, Watford, and played in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A.

Mourinho has repeatedly emphasized that tomorrow's game must change the chaotic situation of the previous game, must show the tough side of the team, and confront the opponent more!

The home court must take all three points!

　Thanks to the club director [Esonger] for the monthly pass!
