Chapter 179 The real leader!
Veteran Giroud stood on the penalty spot.
Players from both sides are lined up on the penalty area line, ready to fight.
Patricio bent down slightly, made combat preparations, and swooped at any time according to Giroud's shooting movements.
The 35-year-old French striker did not make any extra moves, three-step approach, left foot volley!
Patricio gambled to the left!
The shot was not tricky, but Giroud completely fooled the Portuguese goalkeeper.
"1 to 0!"
"AC Milan made a fantastic start in the 7th minute without a major general!"
"So far, Patricio hasn't saved a single penalty since joining Roma!"
"Although they are all meritorious goalkeepers in the history of the Portuguese national team, Patricio is better at saving in sports games. Compared with his predecessor Ricardo, his ability to save penalty kicks seems to be inferior."
"In Xiao Dong's impression, who is the best goalkeeper who saves penalty kicks?"
In this game, Zhan Jun's partner in the Penguin live broadcast room was Dong Fangzhuo, who had played for Manchester United for several years.
"I also watched many great goalkeepers who are good at saving penalties on the screen. The one I saw with my own eyes was Van der Sar. In the 2008 Champions League, he saved Anelka's penalty and Manchester United won the Champions League."
On the field, the game continues.
However, for Mourinho, this unexpected goal made his pre-match deployment meaningless.
The essence of defensive counterattack is to shrink the defense line and let the opponent attack.
Regardless of whether AC Milan is short of major generals, as long as this is San Siro, then this veteran giant is worthy of serious treatment by any team.
But after an early 1-0 lead, the boys from AC Milan did not overwhelm. In addition, although the young central defender combination of Kalulu and Gabia is comparable in experience and defensive ability to Tomori, There is still a slight gap between Romagnoli and Kjaer, but they are much better in terms of flexibility and speed because they are young and strong.
Neither press on, nor afraid of being hit behind the speed can not keep up, which makes it difficult for Rome to play a penetrating counterattack.
The two sides fell into an alternate positional battle.
In the 9th minute, Celik tried a cross from the right, but the pass was poorly placed and was cleared by Kalulu.
In the 13th minute, Zaniolo made a pass from the bottom, which was directly confiscated by goalkeeper Maignan.
In the 15th minute, Salemakors made an inward pass, and the ball was cleared by Matic. Florenzi put in a long shot but missed the spot, and was easily picked off by Patricio.
This match looked lively, but since both sides were very cautious and did not invest a lot of troops, it was not threatening.
And Pioli obviously suffered a loss in the first game, and did enough homework in this game.
The offense is still centered on Special Olympics' left wing, but it also increases the frequency of Florenzi and Mesias on the right.
Except for the forward midfielder Dias who is still participating in the frontcourt attack, the two defensive midfielders Krunic and Tonali are almost only responsible for lateral transfers. The rest of the time seems to be like spectators entering the field to watch the ball, and they go up to the center circle at most , Watching the front teammate try to attack from a distance.
The purpose of all tactical arrangements is to limit the most threatening person in the Roman formation - Chen Xiaoliang.
Tonali and Krunic's defensive ability is not strong, far inferior to the two African-American players Casey and Ben Nasser in the team, but Pioli's task for them is very clear, that is, when Rome is in a state of transition from defense to offense , make a special defense against Chen Xiaoliang:
The ball was in the backcourt, so they double-teamed Chen Xiaoliang as much as possible to prevent him from getting the ball;
When the ball reached the frontcourt, Chen Xiaoliang got the ball, and they blocked Chen Xiaoliang's forward passing route;
When the ball reached the side and was ready to hit the middle, they retreated to form an encirclement with Kalulu and Gabia behind them, enclosing the Roma offensive players who inserted into their penalty area, defending the high-altitude ball three ways up and down Three-way anti-falling triangle.
It worked.
Although Chen Xiaoliang's passing ability has not been what it used to be, but facing the double-layer defense of the four players in the middle, he has no good passing route to pass the ball to the forward Sergeant except for the pick pass that is easy to lose the ball. sco.
What's more, Kalulu and Gabia don't push up. Once the pass is behind, the pass will make Sesco compete with the two central defenders at the same time. If the pass is large, it is easy to be destroyed by the attacking goalkeeper Maignan.
But there is still plenty of time. The 90-minute game is a game process of mutual testing and adjustment, especially for Chen Xiaoliang. The reason why he can help the team equalize or even reverse the score in the final stage of the game is based on the opponent's physical strength. On the gap that dropped sharply, but he could never run to death.
And this is also the first official game of the three new aids who joined in the winter window, especially with Matic behind him, they still need games to cultivate tacit understanding.
However, when Chen Xiaoliang was thinking about how to open up the offensive situation, his teammates made a joke to him again.
In the 16th minute, Malaysia dribbled the ball up, and under the pressure of Florenzi, he chose to pass back to Wellertu behind him.
After Weiletu took control of the ball for a while, Dias came up again to press him in a high position.
Wei Letu, who wanted to pass to "big brother" Chen Xiaoliang, hesitated for a moment, but chose to pass the safety ball back to Ibanez behind him.
Standing in the middle, Smalling reached out to him and pointed to Patricio, signaling him to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper and then transfer to the right to reorganize the attack.
Ibanez seemed to have seen Smalling's instructions, but the pass under his feet was weak, and Smalling only knew where to stretch his fingers but ignored Giroud who was beside him and was already chasing the ball.
The ball was cut off by Giroud when it rolled halfway. Patricio had no choice but to rush forward to block it. Giroud swung his foot to the right and hit the goal!
"Danger!"
"Giroud!"
"The ball hit the post and bounced back!"
"Mesias followed up with the supplementary shot and the goal was scored!!!"
"In the 17th minute, AC Milan once again took advantage of Roma players' mistakes to rewrite the score to 2-0!"
Dong Fangzhuo: "Roma's striker and defender each gave a big gift today. AC Milan probably never dreamed that the start would be so smooth."
Zhan Jun: "Veteran Giroud's relentless running in the frontcourt just grabbed this opportunity! Ibanez's pass is too big."
Dong Fangzhuo: "Giroud's age is quite suitable for Serie A. Generally speaking, the pace is not as fast as the Premier League, and the range of confrontation is also lower. On the contrary, it can give full play to its technical advantages."
Zhan Jun: "On the bench, Ibrahimovic and his teammates are all cheering! Compared with the low-key Pioli, Ibrahimovic has already spoken at the beginning of the season. AC Milan's goal this season is to regain the Serie A championship!"
Barrage:
[Buy a defensive midfielder, buy a full-back, and the most important central defender does not buy, I am also hehe]
[Milan sent the second team to play, and Roma still played like this, let's fight for the fourth with peace of mind]
[Smolin seems to be showing Giroud the way]
[The 35-year-old Giroud can't even guard against him, what can he do to defend against Vlahovic? 】
[Manchester United fans leave a message: Welcome to Rome to pack Fred and Maguire]
...
Mourinho's face was livid on the sidelines, and the players behaved as if they were slapping him in the face.
Compared with Pioli's low-key leveling before the game, Mourinho was full of confidence. He not only praised the team's performance in the first half of the season, but also hinted that he would "go further" in the second half of the season after the new aid joined.
They are all ranked No. 2. This "further step" can go further than No. 1?
However, the panic and confusion of the team seemed to be passed from person to person.
After Cesco made the ball in the middle circle, Weiletu's impatient long pass to Zaniolo on the left was intercepted by Mesias who actively returned to the defense.
Zaniolo was so angry that he stretched his leg and tripped the Brazilian who was about to break through with the ball. The referee immediately complied with Zaniolo's request and showed him a yellow card.
Mourinho was angry and complained to himself while clapping his hands on the sidelines.
Joao came up to ask him if he wanted to let the opposing players warm up in advance. Mourinho was worried that there was no place to get angry, and he choked back angrily: "What are you going to do?! Substitution in only 18 minutes?! Then just give the whole team I will replace it!"
At this time, AC Milan, who are already at home, have completely gained the upper hand in terms of momentum and mentality.
Players take off the pressure and in a relaxed and focused state, it is easier to play smooth football.
After being "beaten" for another 5 minutes, Chen Xiaoliang decided to take the initiative to change the situation on the field.
Since AC Milan's two defensive midfielders are focused on defense and filling positions today, and the central defender is positioned very far back, the last time he took the initiative to pull to the right to fight against Special Olympics, whose physical strength has declined, cannot be used today.
Not to mention that the game is only in the 23rd minute, and the physical strength has not dropped much. It is not easy to beat Special Olympics, which is already known for its speed.
And with the current density of AC Milan's defense in the middle, even if he breaks through Special Olympics' bottom pass, it will be difficult for Cesco to compete for his cross in the encirclement.
Although Weiletu and Matic both have the ability to shoot from a long distance, especially Matic, his running ability is not as good as before. Like Christante, it is difficult to follow the winger in a quick counterattack Breaking through at high speed and plugging in, and Weiletu has to protect him by Matic's side to prevent opponents from using speed to force the middle, so he dare not rush in.
However, Chen Xiaoliang's solution is also very rude.
If one leg keeps breaking, then break the other leg.
Florenzi was very excited in this game. The old players in the team knew that he didn't want to prove how good he was to these former teammates, but to prove to the fans of Rome and the original management that he underestimated himself. What a stupid thing to do.
Although the original boss and head coach are no longer in the team, the wound that was torn in his heart cannot be repaired by later generations.
His exciting performance allowed AC Milan to frequently create murderous intentions on the right side led by Calabria in the last game, which made Rome suffer from both sides.
But before launching a counterattack, Chen Xiaoliang had to help the team rebuild their defensive confidence.
How to do it?Very simple, retrace.
Immediately, teammates and coaches found that Chen Xiaoliang was no longer cruising in the midfield, but came to the side of Matic and Weiletu.
In the 28th minute, Florenzi, who was already better at defending and who had a lot of blood today, came up again, facing Malaysia, who was 9 years younger than him, with a strong attack. Seeing that there was no advantage in speed Next, he stepped on the ball with an emergency stop, and passed the ball from the right to the penalty area at a 45° angle.
The ball hit Wellertu's ass and changed direction slightly. The ball that was flying to Giroud turned into Mesias outside the penalty area.
As a fixed rotation, Mesias, who scored 1 goal, worked very hard. Which rotation player would not want to take advantage of the absence of the main player to perform well and establish his main position in one fell swoop?
Like a shark smelling blood, he immediately stopped and ran back, slamming whenever he wanted to catch the ball.
Then there was already a fisherman waiting there.
Just as Mesias was about to lift his foot, Chen Xiaoliang flashed past him like a gust of wind, and kicked the ball up to the stands beside him.
There was a bang, and before Mesias could react, he subconsciously shrank his arms and legs to protect himself.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was Chen Xiaoliang who made a violent rescue, and was about to go forward to argue, when Chen Xiaoliang walked up to Wellertu and babbled in a language he didn't understand.
Chen Xiaoliang said in French: "What kind of ass, block it! If you are afraid, people will dare to bully you, if you are tough, they will be afraid of running into you!"
Chen Xiaoliang has always used these words to motivate his teammates in training, especially when Mourinho recruits young players from the youth training team to train with the first team and sees Chen Xiaoliang's tough defense and fear, he will encourage his teammates like this.
Competitive sports and team events, on the surface, fight against each other, but internally fight with fighting spirit.
If you don't dare to fight physically, if you see the opponent's fierceness, you just dare to walk around, so what is the fighting spirit?
Even if he is as tall as Messi, he is neither burly nor tall, but in the face of the opponent's double-teaming and reckless fighting, he dares to get up again and again, using breakthroughs to attack the opponent's confidence and fighting spirit.
Why do everyone generally despise diving and flopping in the restricted area?It is because this kind of behavior is not only detrimental to sportsmanship and fair play, but also makes people feel weak.
Seeing Chen Xiaoliang forcefully lecture Wellertu, who was much older than him, Mesias was stunned.
When the two teams faced off for the first time, his muscle fibers were torn and he did not go to Rome with the team, so he had never played against Chen Xiaoliang, and he did not even feel the atmosphere on the sidelines.
This kind of imposing coercion cannot be experienced through TV.
What made him even more puzzled was that whether it was Weiletu or other Roma players, it was very common for the 17-year-old kid in front of him to scold him.
The 30-year-old Mesias can't understand it. If any young guy in the AC Milan team yells at him, even if he is just a rotation, even if the opponent is the son of the club's famous and football director Maldini. Daniel Maldini, who was sitting on the bench during the game, also had to scold back:
How old is your kid?
What's going on in Rome?The aura of the Copa Award is so powerful?Even Messi, who has won 7 golden balls, dare not yell at Mbappe in Paris...
Although I, Messias, have two words more than Messi, I still have to try what kind of medicine this kid sells in the gourd.
Mesias thought, unconvinced, went up to catch the sideline ball thrown by Florenzi.
He had just stopped the ball and was about to turn around, when Florenzi yelled and just entered his ears, a huge force behind him knocked him over.
Mesias didn't know what happened at all. When he fell to the ground and looked back, he saw the ball was kicked far by Chen Xiaoliang to the frontcourt. Abraham was fighting for speed with Tonali.
He looked at the referee in surprise, who had already followed the ball to the front court.
He looked at the line judge again, and the line judge looked at him with a questioning face, and waved his hand.
But the audience in front of the screen can see clearly.
Dong Fangzhuo: "The ball was broken beautifully. A tackle was made from behind without a shovel. When Mesias turned around, he stretched out his foot and stepped on the ball, and then used the incidental inertia of his body to push him away. There was no attachment to his arms or body. Mesias didn't even look behind him during the pushing and punching movements, and was caught off guard."
Zhan Jun: "This ball has the style of Stam when he was at Manchester United!"
Since Florenzi came up to throw the ball from the sideline, Tonali had to pull the side to block Abraham.
But how can his speed catch up with the big black legs that are fully running.
After taking the ball, Abraham rushed towards the penalty area obliquely. Sesco in the middle and Zaniolo in the back had followed.
"Abraham chose to hit the goal from a small angle!"
"oops!!!"
Not only Zhan Jun and Dong Fangzhuo sighed loudly, but the Roma fans who were traveling with the team were clapping and stomping. Mourinho wanted to replace Abraham immediately and scolded him for an hour!
But someone helped him convey his emotions on the court!
"Hey! Tammy! Look at me!"
"look at me!"
This time it was in English, Chen Xiaoliang yelled at Abraham who ran back silently with his head bowed.
Dong Fangzhuo: "Xiao Liang is very tough today, but also very proactive."
Zhan Jun: "This approach reminds me of someone! Xiao Dong, you also know him!"
Dong Fangzhuo: "Kean!"
Zhan Jun: "That's right! It's Roy Keane! Back then, Darren Fletcher, Wes Brown, Van Nistelrooy, including the young Ronaldo, were all pointed and scolded by this iron-blooded captain!"
Dong Fangzhuo: "It seems that Xiao Liang is really in a hurry today, but Roma's performance is indeed beyond everyone's expectations."
Zhan Jun: "Rather than being criticized by thousands of people after the game, it is better to hit the nail on the head on the field! Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!"
On the court, Abraham of course heard Chen Xiaoliang's roar. Based on the two people's getting along and training for more than half a year, he knew that Chen Xiaoliang still had a lot of things to say.
He frowned, raised his head and glanced at Chen Xiaoliang, then raised his hand as a signal, ran to his position, and turned his head to watch AC Milan goalkeeper Maignan prepare to serve.
From the 12th round to the 19th round of the league, he only scored 8 goals in 2 games, while Sesco scored 3 goals and 2 assists, and even Zaniolo also scored 3 goals.
As a striker, or a high-priced striker, he has naturally endured a lot of pressure from fans and the media.
He wants to score too much, not to mention that AC Milan's penalty today was caused by him, and he wants to take the blame.
But for strikers, there is often a thin line between self-confidence and selfishness.
At this moment, he felt extremely regretful.
AC Milan kicked off and played back to their most familiar left.
But today, in front of Salemakols, is Celik who is hardworking and not rash at all.
No matter how AC Milan passes and runs on the left, he just guards the side. Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, and he is not fully sure of returning to defense. Even if he is tempted, he will never press.
Just now he almost conceded the ball, so Special Olympics didn't dare to make a big push for a moment. Salmachols and Dias made a few short passes to cooperate, but found that there was no chance, so they moved to the right.
Tonali received a return pass from Dias and passed it to Florenzi.
The former Roman "Three Generations" led the center line, and was about to look at the position of his teammates to decide whether to pass or pass.
He never thought to look up, a young man in a white jersey and the captain's armband stopped in front of him.
The well-informed Florenzi is not a fringe player like Mesias who tries hard to gain a foothold in a big team. He knows how important Chen Xiaoliang is to Roma right now.
He also knew that if he didn't kill this person, he couldn't fully vent his inner hatred for being abandoned by the club in those years.
The two looked at each other, tacitly.
No matter what happened in the past and how much it happened, today is here, at San Siro, and it will be over together!
Thanks to the senior director of the club [Yu Qingfeng] for the monthly pass!
Thanks to the club's senior director [Fridrik] for the monthly pass!
Thanks to the senior director of the club [Changtian KnifeT] for the monthly pass!
Thanks to the senior director of the club [TAQIANTAIN] for the monthly pass!
Thanks to the senior director of the club [book friend 20180825171326503] for the monthly pass!
(End of this chapter)
Veteran Giroud stood on the penalty spot.
Players from both sides are lined up on the penalty area line, ready to fight.
Patricio bent down slightly, made combat preparations, and swooped at any time according to Giroud's shooting movements.
The 35-year-old French striker did not make any extra moves, three-step approach, left foot volley!
Patricio gambled to the left!
The shot was not tricky, but Giroud completely fooled the Portuguese goalkeeper.
"1 to 0!"
"AC Milan made a fantastic start in the 7th minute without a major general!"
"So far, Patricio hasn't saved a single penalty since joining Roma!"
"Although they are all meritorious goalkeepers in the history of the Portuguese national team, Patricio is better at saving in sports games. Compared with his predecessor Ricardo, his ability to save penalty kicks seems to be inferior."
"In Xiao Dong's impression, who is the best goalkeeper who saves penalty kicks?"

"I also watched many great goalkeepers who are good at saving penalties on the screen. The one I saw with my own eyes was Van der Sar. In the 2008 Champions League, he saved Anelka's penalty and Manchester United won the Champions League."
On the field, the game continues.
However, for Mourinho, this unexpected goal made his pre-match deployment meaningless.
The essence of defensive counterattack is to shrink the defense line and let the opponent attack.
Regardless of whether AC Milan is short of major generals, as long as this is San Siro, then this veteran giant is worthy of serious treatment by any team.
But after an early 1-0 lead, the boys from AC Milan did not overwhelm. In addition, although the young central defender combination of Kalulu and Gabia is comparable in experience and defensive ability to Tomori, There is still a slight gap between Romagnoli and Kjaer, but they are much better in terms of flexibility and speed because they are young and strong.
Neither press on, nor afraid of being hit behind the speed can not keep up, which makes it difficult for Rome to play a penetrating counterattack.
The two sides fell into an alternate positional battle.
In the 9th minute, Celik tried a cross from the right, but the pass was poorly placed and was cleared by Kalulu.
In the 13th minute, Zaniolo made a pass from the bottom, which was directly confiscated by goalkeeper Maignan.
In the 15th minute, Salemakors made an inward pass, and the ball was cleared by Matic. Florenzi put in a long shot but missed the spot, and was easily picked off by Patricio.
This match looked lively, but since both sides were very cautious and did not invest a lot of troops, it was not threatening.
And Pioli obviously suffered a loss in the first game, and did enough homework in this game.
The offense is still centered on Special Olympics' left wing, but it also increases the frequency of Florenzi and Mesias on the right.
Except for the forward midfielder Dias who is still participating in the frontcourt attack, the two defensive midfielders Krunic and Tonali are almost only responsible for lateral transfers.

It worked.
Although Chen Xiaoliang's passing ability has not been what it used to be, but facing the double-layer defense of the four players in the middle, he has no good passing route to pass the ball to the forward Sergeant except for the pick pass that is easy to lose the ball. sco.
What's more, Kalulu and Gabia don't push up. Once the pass is behind, the pass will make Sesco compete with the two central defenders at the same time. If the pass is large, it is easy to be destroyed by the attacking goalkeeper Maignan.
But there is still plenty of time. The 90-minute game is a game process of mutual testing and adjustment, especially for Chen Xiaoliang. The reason why he can help the team equalize or even reverse the score in the final stage of the game is based on the opponent's physical strength. On the gap that dropped sharply, but he could never run to death.
And this is also the first official game of the three new aids who joined in the winter window, especially with Matic behind him, they still need games to cultivate tacit understanding.
However, when Chen Xiaoliang was thinking about how to open up the offensive situation, his teammates made a joke to him again.
In the 16th minute, Malaysia dribbled the ball up, and under the pressure of Florenzi, he chose to pass back to Wellertu behind him.
After Weiletu took control of the ball for a while, Dias came up again to press him in a high position.
Wei Letu, who wanted to pass to "big brother" Chen Xiaoliang, hesitated for a moment, but chose to pass the safety ball back to Ibanez behind him.
Standing in the middle, Smalling reached out to him and pointed to Patricio, signaling him to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper and then transfer to the right to reorganize the attack.
Ibanez seemed to have seen Smalling's instructions, but the pass under his feet was weak, and Smalling only knew where to stretch his fingers but ignored Giroud who was beside him and was already chasing the ball.

"In the 17th minute, AC Milan once again took advantage of Roma players' mistakes to rewrite the score to 2-0!"
Dong Fangzhuo: "Roma's striker and defender each gave a big gift today. AC Milan probably never dreamed that the start would be so smooth."
Zhan Jun: "Veteran Giroud's relentless running in the frontcourt just grabbed this opportunity! Ibanez's pass is too big."
Dong Fangzhuo: "Giroud's age is quite suitable for Serie A. Generally speaking, the pace is not as fast as the Premier League, and the range of confrontation is also lower. On the contrary, it can give full play to its technical advantages."
Zhan Jun: "On the bench, Ibrahimovic and his teammates are all cheering! Compared with the low-key Pioli, Ibrahimovic has already spoken at the beginning of the season. AC Milan's goal this season is to regain the Serie A championship!"
Barrage:
[Buy a defensive midfielder, buy a full-back, and the most important central defender does not buy, I am also hehe]
[Milan sent the second team to play, and Roma still played like this, let's fight for the fourth with peace of mind]

[The 35-year-old Giroud can't even guard against him, what can he do to defend against Vlahovic? 】
[Manchester United fans leave a message: Welcome to Rome to pack Fred and Maguire]
...
Mourinho's face was livid on the sidelines, and the players behaved as if they were slapping him in the face.
Compared with Pioli's low-key leveling before the game, Mourinho was full of confidence. He not only praised the team's performance in the first half of the season, but also hinted that he would "go further" in the second half of the season after the new aid joined.
They are all ranked No. 2. This "further step" can go further than No. 1?
However, the panic and confusion of the team seemed to be passed from person to person.
After Cesco made the ball in the middle circle, Weiletu's impatient long pass to Zaniolo on the left was intercepted by Mesias who actively returned to the defense.
Zaniolo was so angry that he stretched his leg and tripped the Brazilian who was about to break through with the ball. The referee immediately complied with Zaniolo's request and showed him a yellow card.
Mourinho was angry and complained to himself while clapping his hands on the sidelines.
Joao came up to ask him if he wanted to let the opposing players warm up in advance. Mourinho was worried that there was no place to get angry, and he choked back angrily: "What are you going to do?! Substitution in only 18 minutes?! Then just give the whole team I will replace it!"
At this time, AC Milan, who are already at home, have completely gained the upper hand in terms of momentum and mentality.
Players take off the pressure and in a relaxed and focused state, it is easier to play smooth football.
After being "beaten" for another 5 minutes, Chen Xiaoliang decided to take the initiative to change the situation on the field.
Since AC Milan's two defensive midfielders are focused on defense and filling positions today, and the central defender is positioned very far back, the last time he took the initiative to pull to the right to fight against Special Olympics, whose physical strength has declined, cannot be used today.
Not to mention that the game is only in the 23rd minute, and the physical strength has not dropped much. It is not easy to beat Special Olympics, which is already known for its speed.
And with the current density of AC Milan's defense in the middle, even if he breaks through Special Olympics' bottom pass, it will be difficult for Cesco to compete for his cross in the encirclement.
Although Weiletu and Matic both have the ability to shoot from a long distance, especially Matic, his running ability is not as good as before. Like Christante, it is difficult to follow the winger in a quick counterattack Breaking through at high speed and plugging in, and Weiletu has to protect him by Matic's side to prevent opponents from using speed to force the middle, so he dare not rush in.
However, Chen Xiaoliang's solution is also very rude.
If one leg keeps breaking, then break the other leg.
Florenzi was very excited in this game. The old players in the team knew that he didn't want to prove how good he was to these former teammates, but to prove to the fans of Rome and the original management that he underestimated himself. What a stupid thing to do.
Although the original boss and head coach are no longer in the team, the wound that was torn in his heart cannot be repaired by later generations.
His exciting performance allowed AC Milan to frequently create murderous intentions on the right side led by Calabria in the last game, which made Rome suffer from both sides.
But before launching a counterattack, Chen Xiaoliang had to help the team rebuild their defensive confidence.
How to do it?Very simple, retrace.
Immediately, teammates and coaches found that Chen Xiaoliang was no longer cruising in the midfield, but came to the side of Matic and Weiletu.
In the 28th minute, Florenzi, who was already better at defending and who had a lot of blood today, came up again, facing Malaysia, who was 9 years younger than him, with a strong attack. Seeing that there was no advantage in speed Next, he stepped on the ball with an emergency stop, and passed the ball from the right to the penalty area at a 45° angle.
The ball hit Wellertu's ass and changed direction slightly. The ball that was flying to Giroud turned into Mesias outside the penalty area.
As a fixed rotation, Mesias, who scored 1 goal, worked very hard. Which rotation player would not want to take advantage of the absence of the main player to perform well and establish his main position in one fell swoop?
Like a shark smelling blood, he immediately stopped and ran back, slamming whenever he wanted to catch the ball.
Then there was already a fisherman waiting there.
Just as Mesias was about to lift his foot, Chen Xiaoliang flashed past him like a gust of wind, and kicked the ball up to the stands beside him.
There was a bang, and before Mesias could react, he subconsciously shrank his arms and legs to protect himself.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was Chen Xiaoliang who made a violent rescue, and was about to go forward to argue, when Chen Xiaoliang walked up to Wellertu and babbled in a language he didn't understand.
Chen Xiaoliang said in French: "What kind of ass, block it! If you are afraid, people will dare to bully you, if you are tough, they will be afraid of running into you!"
Chen Xiaoliang has always used these words to motivate his teammates in training, especially when Mourinho recruits young players from the youth training team to train with the first team and sees Chen Xiaoliang's tough defense and fear, he will encourage his teammates like this.
Competitive sports and team events, on the surface, fight against each other, but internally fight with fighting spirit.
If you don't dare to fight physically, if you see the opponent's fierceness, you just dare to walk around, so what is the fighting spirit?
Even if he is as tall as Messi, he is neither burly nor tall, but in the face of the opponent's double-teaming and reckless fighting, he dares to get up again and again, using breakthroughs to attack the opponent's confidence and fighting spirit.
Why do everyone generally despise diving and flopping in the restricted area?It is because this kind of behavior is not only detrimental to sportsmanship and fair play, but also makes people feel weak.
Seeing Chen Xiaoliang forcefully lecture Wellertu, who was much older than him, Mesias was stunned.
When the two teams faced off for the first time, his muscle fibers were torn and he did not go to Rome with the team, so he had never played against Chen Xiaoliang, and he did not even feel the atmosphere on the sidelines.
This kind of imposing coercion cannot be experienced through TV.
What made him even more puzzled was that whether it was Weiletu or other Roma players, it was very common for the 17-year-old kid in front of him to scold him.
The 30-year-old Mesias can't understand it. If any young guy in the AC Milan team yells at him, even if he is just a rotation, even if the opponent is the son of the club's famous and football director Maldini. Daniel Maldini, who was sitting on the bench during the game, also had to scold back:
How old is your kid?
What's going on in Rome?The aura of the Copa Award is so powerful?Even Messi, who has won 7 golden balls, dare not yell at Mbappe in Paris...
Although I, Messias, have two words more than Messi, I still have to try what kind of medicine this kid sells in the gourd.
Mesias thought, unconvinced, went up to catch the sideline ball thrown by Florenzi.
He had just stopped the ball and was about to turn around, when Florenzi yelled and just entered his ears, a huge force behind him knocked him over.
Mesias didn't know what happened at all. When he fell to the ground and looked back, he saw the ball was kicked far by Chen Xiaoliang to the frontcourt. Abraham was fighting for speed with Tonali.
He looked at the referee in surprise, who had already followed the ball to the front court.
He looked at the line judge again, and the line judge looked at him with a questioning face, and waved his hand.
But the audience in front of the screen can see clearly.
Dong Fangzhuo: "The ball was broken beautifully. A tackle was made from behind without a shovel. When Mesias turned around, he stretched out his foot and stepped on the ball, and then used the incidental inertia of his body to push him away. There was no attachment to his arms or body. Mesias didn't even look behind him during the pushing and punching movements, and was caught off guard."
Zhan Jun: "This ball has the style of Stam when he was at Manchester United!"
Since Florenzi came up to throw the ball from the sideline, Tonali had to pull the side to block Abraham.
But how can his speed catch up with the big black legs that are fully running.
After taking the ball, Abraham rushed towards the penalty area obliquely. Sesco in the middle and Zaniolo in the back had followed.
"Abraham chose to hit the goal from a small angle!"
"oops!!!"
Not only Zhan Jun and Dong Fangzhuo sighed loudly, but the Roma fans who were traveling with the team were clapping and stomping. Mourinho wanted to replace Abraham immediately and scolded him for an hour!
But someone helped him convey his emotions on the court!
"Hey! Tammy! Look at me!"
"look at me!"
This time it was in English, Chen Xiaoliang yelled at Abraham who ran back silently with his head bowed.
Dong Fangzhuo: "Xiao Liang is very tough today, but also very proactive."
Zhan Jun: "This approach reminds me of someone! Xiao Dong, you also know him!"
Dong Fangzhuo: "Kean!"
Zhan Jun: "That's right! It's Roy Keane! Back then, Darren Fletcher, Wes Brown, Van Nistelrooy, including the young Ronaldo, were all pointed and scolded by this iron-blooded captain!"
Dong Fangzhuo: "It seems that Xiao Liang is really in a hurry today, but Roma's performance is indeed beyond everyone's expectations."
Zhan Jun: "Rather than being criticized by thousands of people after the game, it is better to hit the nail on the head on the field! Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!"
On the court, Abraham of course heard Chen Xiaoliang's roar. Based on the two people's getting along and training for more than half a year, he knew that Chen Xiaoliang still had a lot of things to say.
He frowned, raised his head and glanced at Chen Xiaoliang, then raised his hand as a signal, ran to his position, and turned his head to watch AC Milan goalkeeper Maignan prepare to serve.
From the 12th round to the 19th round of the league, he only scored 8 goals in 2 games, while Sesco scored 3 goals and 2 assists, and even Zaniolo also scored 3 goals.
As a striker, or a high-priced striker, he has naturally endured a lot of pressure from fans and the media.
He wants to score too much, not to mention that AC Milan's penalty today was caused by him, and he wants to take the blame.
But for strikers, there is often a thin line between self-confidence and selfishness.
At this moment, he felt extremely regretful.
AC Milan kicked off and played back to their most familiar left.
But today, in front of Salemakols, is Celik who is hardworking and not rash at all.
No matter how AC Milan passes and runs on the left, he just guards the side. Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, and he is not fully sure of returning to defense. Even if he is tempted, he will never press.
Just now he almost conceded the ball, so Special Olympics didn't dare to make a big push for a moment. Salmachols and Dias made a few short passes to cooperate, but found that there was no chance, so they moved to the right.
Tonali received a return pass from Dias and passed it to Florenzi.
The former Roman "Three Generations" led the center line, and was about to look at the position of his teammates to decide whether to pass or pass.
He never thought to look up, a young man in a white jersey and the captain's armband stopped in front of him.
The well-informed Florenzi is not a fringe player like Mesias who tries hard to gain a foothold in a big team. He knows how important Chen Xiaoliang is to Roma right now.
He also knew that if he didn't kill this person, he couldn't fully vent his inner hatred for being abandoned by the club in those years.
The two looked at each other, tacitly.
No matter what happened in the past and how much it happened, today is here, at San Siro, and it will be over together!
