Chapter 246 The final battle of the season, the European Cup final
With the perfect ending of winning the final game with 3 goals, Chen Xiaoliang got 3 hours of training value and 2 physical recovery cards.
Training value 20 → 23
In the past, Chen Xiaoliang would turn off the system after collecting the league missions, but today, in the [Season Mission] interface that only lights up once a season, there is a huge reward package waiting for him.
[Season mission: win the Serie A championship this season]
【Mission progress: Successfully won the championship】
【任务奖励：任意18-20属性+1，任意1-17属性+1】
Sure enough, it is the championship reward of the five major leagues, which is much better than the reward of "100 training points + training value for the number of times played" for the Soviet Super League championship last season, especially for the fact that most of my attributes are generally high now. This kind of reward is also more in line with your own needs.
Since the rewards cannot be saved and must be used immediately, Chen Xiaoliang carefully considered the strategy of adding points.
At present, the three most cost-effective attributes that I am eligible for are 17 passing, 17 speed and 18 crossing.
If the two bonuses are used separately, it means that the cross can be added to 19, and a 17 can be added to 18.
But if it is used on an attribute of 17, a 19 attribute can be directly cultivated.
The total income has not changed. How to add it to the end is one 19, one 18, and one 17. The key depends on how you choose.
Passing is naturally important. It can be said that it is the most important and frequent behavior in football, but the attributes of passing more affect the accuracy of passing. In actual games, passing will involve many complicated factors.
For example, when it is inconvenient to turn around to catch the ball with your back, if you want to pass the ball with your heels, you still need the help of the "technical" attribute, and when you use one kick to pass the ball and pass it continuously, you need the help of the "stop ball" attribute.
Crossing is equally important, and it has even become Chen Xiaoliang's most important method to create scoring opportunities for forwards. This kick surpasses the crossing level of almost all midfielders in Serie A. It is also different and better than Brozovic and Barre. The biggest factor in pulling the midfielder.
However, the application area of the cross is too small, and it can only be used when the attack is in progress, the outflank is in place in the center, and there is space on the side.
And the cross is the same as the pass, and it becomes useless in defense.
If it is Barcelona at its peak, or Manchester City today, when the team is leading, they will also use a large number of pass transfers to control the possession of the ball, so as to achieve the compression of the opponent's ball possession rate. The ball is used to protect one's own goal.
This is also the so-called "the best defense is offense".
As written in martial arts novels, Dugu Nine Swords, there is no retreat, every move is an attack, if you attack the enemy, you have to defend, and of course you don't have to defend.
Back then, Barcelona also made the pass-and-control style of play that upholds this concept popular in the world.
But Chen Xiaoliang's head coach is Mourinho...he is a man at the other extreme. In 2010, when he was sent off one man and had only 24% ball possession, he relied on pure defense to defeat Guardiola's peak. Barcelona's head coach.
In the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, Inter Milan had only 1 shot, which was not within the range of the goal frame. The number of successful passes was only 67, and the pass success rate was 42%. These two statistics can be compared with Busquets. The acting skills can also be called "reaching the pinnacle".
Barcelona, on the other hand, had 555 successful passes, but under the iron-blooded defense of Inter Milan, 15 shots in the audience were exchanged for only 4 shots on the goal frame.
Do you talk to such a coach about using the pass to control the rhythm of the game?
No need to think about it, next season Roma will still focus on defensive counterattacks when facing strong teams and big competitions.
What restaurant to order what food.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoliang decided to add the two bonus attributes to the speed of attacking and defending.
Speed 17→19
The counterattack can be launched faster in offense, and the retreat can be retreated from the frontcourt faster in defense.
However, this ability to get in and out of the court and become faster back and forth will take a few days to show to the coaches and teammates, but Helena, who lives together at home, experienced it first.
No way, who let physical attributes can also affect life outside the court.
After adding points, there is another reward.
[Season Mission: Win the Coppa Italia this season]
【Mission progress: Successfully won the championship】
[Task Reward: Skill Value +20]
Skill value 69→89
Looking at this reward, and then looking at the previous Serie A champions, it is a bit shabby...
In the Soviet Super League last season, reaching the top 8 in the Europa League also gave 10 skill points...
But after thinking about it, the Serie A teams start from the third round of the Coppa Italia. Even if they reach the final, they will only have five games. The opponents are basically those teams in Serie A. The difficulty and time span of the competition are relatively limited. , so it is not bad to be able to give 20 points for winning the championship.
The missions of the other seasons have not been revealed yet, it seems that the rewards can only be collected after the season is completely over.
After processing the system, it is to reply a large number of congratulatory messages.
Sir Alex Ferguson, Grandpa Heathfield, Boss Wu, Gerrard, Sun Jihai, and even the godfather's confidants sent congratulations on his behalf, and he took time to reply one by one.
However, he also made a congratulatory call to one person, that is Shen Mengyu, a fellow from Donghai City. This season, she helped the Celtic women's football team win the FA Women's Football League Cup and the UEFA Cup. Missing the Women's Champions League next season, but for Shen Mengyu, who is studying abroad for the first year, it is definitely a successful start.
Finally, his old buddies, Glasgow Rangers, regrettably lost to Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on penalties in the Europa League final a few days ago.
Chen Xiaoliang also made a consoling phone call to them. They also agreed that Rangers must pass the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round next season, and strive for everyone to meet in the group stage to achieve an alternative reunion.
As for the overwhelming comments from hundreds of thousands of fans on social media, Chen Xiaoliang can only leave it to Riise's team for public relations.
Looking out of the window at the paparazzi pretending to be passing by on the road and hiding in the car to secretly take pictures, Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself, this is probably the trouble after becoming famous.
A day and a half of rest passed by, and it was already May 5. Early in the morning, the players regrouped at the Trigoria base with beaming expressions, and started the final round of the season in this "hometown". a training session.
Since this year's European Cup is held for the first time, and although Albania is very close to Italy, across the Otranto Strait across the sea, there is only a flight distance of more than 600 kilometers from Rome to Tirana, but this country The city is still too unfamiliar to the two clubs of Roma and Feyenoord.
Therefore, both sides chose to arrive at the local area 2 days in advance for adaptive training.
And on the last day in Trigolia, the team had to finish the tactical meeting.
Since the Eredivisie has only 18 teams and 34 rounds, it has ended before the Serie A.
Feyenoord won the third place in the league, and there is a clear gap of 3 points from the champion Ajax. The total value of the regular 12-man starter is around 11 million euros.
From these data, it can be clearly seen that in terms of team strength and specific performance of the two teams, Roma is stable in all aspects.
Moreover, Malaysia transferred from Feyenoord in the winter window. At that time, the opponent did not expect that the two teams would meet in the European Cup final in less than half a year after going around, and they just sold it. This player is also the only player in the team to be selected for the World Cup squad...
After UEFA changed the rules in the 2018-19 season, players who represented the original club in European games before the winter window transfer can also play in the same level of European games for the new club after the winter window transfer, and the two teams When discussing the transfer of Malaysia, there was no clause to avoid this season, so Malaysia can definitely play in this final against the old club.
However, considering that he came from Feyenoord's youth training, he has been in this Dutch club for 15 years after turning into a U17 professional player in 6, and in order to allow more young people to have the opportunity to play in major competitions, Mourinho He chose to let Zalewski start as the left wing back.
Although he failed to start, Forty's tactical report and player analysis still referred a lot to Malaysia's opinions.
After all, he is more familiar with that club than any scout in Rome.
Mourinho's tactical requirements are very simple, there are only three:
1. Steady defense.Especially in the cup match where the outcome is determined by the first battle, Mourinho has always believed in attacking to win the scene and defending to win the championship, so this game still focuses on defensive counterattacks;
2. Fight speed.The speed of Feyenoord's defense is average except for Dutch right back Gil Truida, who is fast, especially the Austrian central defender Trauner. As a typical white central defender, he is very slow to turn around. Obvious disadvantage.
Under the tone of anti-reverse and retreat, the opponent's back line is bound to press forward, so while the ball speed and running speed are double-lined, Rome's counterattack can easily penetrate the opponent's defense line;
3. Win three championships.This is a battle of dignity. The Serie A champion is against the third Eredivisie, and the starter worth nearly 3 million is against the 1 million starter. Winning the third championship of the season is what the team must do.If this kind of disparity in the game is lost, not only will the outside world question the quality of Roma, the new Serie A champion, but the jokes will make the club look down from top to bottom.
Concise and clear, without any special arrangements, targeted tactics, playing the self since the season is Mourinho's tactical arrangements.
And after the players have been tempered by the Coppa Italia and Serie A within half a month, they no longer have too many thoughts and worries about the championship battle. They themselves also believe that this event should be their perfect season. of rests.
Despite this, when the players arrived in Tirana, the capital of Albania overnight, the development of the situation on the scene greatly exceeded the expectations of the club, including Feyenoord.
If the team returned to Rome after winning the championship in Turin and was surrounded by local fans at the airport, then after landing at Tirana Mother Teresa International Airport that night, they were once again surrounded by more than 2000 Albanian local fans The warm welcome from the fans at the pick-up port was purely unexpected.
However, unlike Rome, Mourinho's "fans" accounted for a considerable part of the fans who picked him up at the airport. The words printed on slogans and posters by many people were also "the most special one to follow in the world". .
As a stadium held by the Albanian Football Association, the 22000 final tickets of the Aviation Stadium have long been sold out. Many fans of Roma and Feyenoord can't buy tickets at all. They can only buy tickets from scalpers and the black market. , The price has also increased by more than 5-20 times.
According to the Italian media "All Market", the highest ticket price for this game has been fired to more than 10000 euros.
Even the hotel was sold out. Many Roma fans complained that due to the soaring price of local hotels, the rooms that had been booked early were canceled by profiteers for no reason, just to sell them to people with higher prices.
These things not only caught the two clubs by surprise, but even UEFA didn't expect them, but for them, it was obviously more joy than surprise.
In an interview with the media after arriving in Tirana, UEFA President Ceferin said that the degree of attention to the game even greatly surpassed the Europa League final between Frankfurt and Glasgow Rangers on May 5, which shows that UEFA It is completely correct to host the UEFA League, and it will allow more clubs to participate in intercontinental competitions and share the fruits of European football development at the competitive and economic levels.
However, the media and fans know well that Feyenoord's influence in the world after leaving the Netherlands can't be compared with Mourinho, who has been in the world for 20 years, and Chen Xiaoliang, who is rising.
The reason why this game has attracted so much attention is not because Roma is the champion of the new Serie A, and many media are hyping before the game. If Roma wins the first European Cup, then Mourinho will become the first to win the European Cup. A head coach who has won the Champions League, Europa League and Europa League.
This is what people come to see.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, club owner Dan Friedkin arranged the team directly in the Wanhao Hotel built on the stadium.
In addition to convenient transportation and complete equipment, you can directly enter the stadium for adaptive training when you go downstairs.
In contrast, Feyenoord, who has limited finances, can only live in a hotel on the outskirts of the city and rent a local club's training ground to maintain daily training.
The Wanhao Hotel is like facing an enemy. There are almost 24 hours of Roman fans waiting downstairs. During the day, there are at least 200 people, and there are still people waiting before 11 o'clock at night.
Mourinho had to arrange the evening time every day, ask the hotel security to maintain order, send a few players down to greet the fans and try to meet everyone's signature needs.
Although this will affect the preparation and training of players, the well-informed Mourinho knows that the crazy love of fans is generally a thing that far outweighs the disadvantages.
Popularity and traffic are things that Rome urgently needs to accumulate.
Although the boss just said a few days ago that Xia Chuang will still spend a lot of money this year, and the club's revenue has increased significantly, there is still a long way to go before fully covering the large debts accumulated in previous years.
Under the constraints of UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act, Pinto has privately informed Mourinho that about 3500 million euros in transfer funds can be used this summer.
After all, after renewing the contracts of Chen Xiaoliang and Sesco, the salary increase of the two alone has already increased the annual expenditure by 1000 million euros.
In addition, it cost another 1000 million euros plus an annual salary of 150 million euros to sign Kvaratsheria. If the visa exemption for Belotti and Dybala is negotiated, although there is no transfer fee, the two will be 800 yuan. The annual salary and bonus requirements of 400 and 1200 million will add another [-] million euros to the annual expenditure.
These three add up to 2350 million euros.
There is still Wijnaldum's loan. The Dutch midfielder's after-tax fixed annual salary in the wealthy Paris Saint-Germain has reached about 500 million euros.
In France, the social security contribution rate is about 12% of income, while the income tax rate for high-income groups with an annual salary of more than 16 euros is 45%. Ultra-high-income groups like players also need to pay a 4% high-income contribution fee.
This also means that Wijnaldum's pre-tax annual salary has reached 1100 million euros, which can rank in the top ten in the entire Serie A, which is the same as Chen Xiaoliang, who has just renewed his contract.
Paris asked Rome to bear 40%, while Rome set a clause that the appearance rate exceeded 50% and automatically triggered a mandatory buyout of 1000 million.
Paris also wanted to get rid of Wijnaldum as soon as possible after they confirmed that they would buy the 2016 Golden Boy Award winner Renato Sanches from Lille in the summer window.
It’s not over yet, Pinto is in Buenos Aires talking about the transfer of Enzo Fernandez, the fee of 1200 million plus the annual salary of 150 million euros. The clause of 25% of the transfer, otherwise Enzo will be sold after the end of the World Cup.
Therefore, the two transactions of these two people will cost the club as little as 1850 million and as much as 2850 million.
For all of the above, a cost of 5200 million euros has been determined.
Finally, the outstanding young player Zalewski is about to start contract renewal negotiations. The 32-year-old Smalling has one year left in his contract. With limited funds, it is still the most cost-effective operation mode to renew his contract. .
In addition to players, the club also has to repay loan interest, as well as coaches, team doctors, scouts, analysts, office clerks, chefs, gardeners, security guards, and a large number of people to support.
During the summer offseason, the club’s facilities need to be maintained, from the turf on the training ground, the equipment in the gym, the computers in the office, and the food in the cafeteria. If it grows larger, it will cost money to buy and maintain.
There are also a lot of expenses on the game day, travel expenses, accommodation expenses.
If the team performs well, scores more goals, and keeps more clean sheets, it also has happiness troubles. The goal bonuses, assist bonuses, zero seal bonuses, and championship bonuses that need to be distributed will also increase.
All kinds of things seem to be okay, but together they are a big number.
Counting the remaining promised 3500 million euros, in fact, the boss Dan Friedkin has already paid more than 1 million euros for the new season.
Mourinho knows that with the current economic situation in Serie A, it is already a dream to get such support from the Friedkin family. Therefore, in the transfer of Dybala, Belotti and Wijnaldum, Including the previous transfer of Matic, he personally called the other party to lobby and invite, and used his championship resume and past relationships to reduce the club's expenditure.
Under such circumstances, giving full play to the role of myself and Chen Xiaoliang as the two "cash cows" to drain and increase popularity has become the top priority in the championship stage at the end of the season.
The more sponsors you get now, the more money you can spend in summer.
Of course, in addition to increasing revenue, you also have to cut costs. When someone comes, someone has to leave. Players who should be sold must also be sold, downsizing redundant staff, recovering funds, and reducing salaries.
American full-back Brian Reynolds bought from Dallas disappointed Mourinho;
In addition, Karlsdorp, who has a problem with professionalism in Mourinho's eyes, has already been on the sale list;
Four players who are on loan and do not want to return to Rome to play, Turkish winger Yundel, Spanish goalkeeper Paul Lopez, Swedish goalkeeper Robin Olsen and old captain Florenzi will also be sold to their current club. team.
The first two will be transferred to Marseille, the third will be transferred to Aston Villa, and Florenzi will be permanently transferred to AC Milan;
The substitute goalkeeper, the Brazilian Forzato, has made great achievements as a substitute this season, but he is unwilling to be Patricio's substitute again, and the transfer application was approved by Mourinho;
Wellertu's 1100 million transfer to Marseille has also been finalized. He is not what Mourinho actively wants to sell, but the unstable starting lineup and the introduction of a new midfielder next season make him decide to return to his homeland, France. Get a stable chance to play and fight for the World Cup list;
Two oil bottles, Thornton has retired, and Diawara moved to Anderlecht for 150 million;
The young defender Calafioli still performed mediocrely after renting Genoa for half a season, unable to meet the team's multi-line combat requirements next season, and was sold to Basal for 100 million euros;
The most regrettable thing is that the young striker Afenna Gyan, who was once given high hopes by Mourinho, gradually lost in the sensual scene after becoming famous with one goal, and his performance in training continued to decline. Mourinho approached him privately I tried it once, but it turned out that it didn't work.
After experiencing Balotelli, Thornton and Dele Ali, he is not in the mood and has no time to enlighten young people again and again, not to mention the old ones in the team are Matic, the young ones are Chen Xiaoliang, Sesco , Even Wu Lei's training attitude and professionalism on loan are enough to be Ji'an's role model.
Since Jian is unwilling to learn well, the transfer of 600 million euros to Cremona, who will rise from the second place in Serie B to Serie A next season, has been negotiated.
Sell it down.
He is going to be 60 soon. For a man who laughed at the then 2008-year-old Juventus coach Ranieri as an old man who should retire when he first took over Inter Milan in 56, he himself understands his coaching career The countdown has entered.
What's more, he now has the best talent in the world. He doesn't want to waste time on those young people who are lost. He wants to shine again in the final stage of coaching, leave football as a winner and become Legend forever.
Considering the security pressure of the hotel, Mourinho did not personally go to the gate to sign for the fans, nor did he let the most popular Chen Xiaoliang do so.
But when he arrived at the stadium ahead of schedule on the day of the game, he asked the players to enter the field to prepare as soon as he got off the bus, and he took the initiative to meet the requirements of many fans for signatures and group photos by the side of the iron fence.
The fans notified each other, and immediately a large number of people heard about it, and it was not until the stadium security surrounded by the adult wall that they couldn't stand it, and warned Mourinho that if he was so "close to the people", there would be a risk of being trampled, Mourinho waved his hand. He waved and walked into the court playing coolly, which attracted a burst of screams from the fans.
As the game time approached, the media, the fans present, and even Feyenoord were surprised to find that almost 22000% of the 85-seat stadium was supported by Roma fans... except for thousands of tickets for Roma fans The exclusive tickets for Albania's local fans are almost all fans of Rome.
Feyenoord fans only got tickets for a small part of the stands...Club staff protested to UEFA, this is called a neutral venue?Is this the home of Rome?
The UEFA official looked at the hot football market and the passionate scene, and kindly explained: Be good, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and play the game well.
You are indispensable for the broadcast fee share, who makes Rome popular.
The 12 founding clubs of the European Super League have never messed with me, so you want to be dissatisfied?
In the end, the game started as scheduled.
While kicking, Feyenoord also discovered that the situation was not only one-sided for the fans on the field, but also for the situation on the pitch.
It seems that what they are facing is not 11 people, but a pack of 11 wolves with fierce faces:
Patricio;
Spinazzola, Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez, Zalewski;
Mkhitaryan, Matic;
Chen Xiaoliang;
Sesco, Pellegrini.
Although they continue to maintain a possession rate of more than 60%, what Feyenoord does is to pass the ball, pass the ball, and then pass the ball in the midfield. , and then launched a quick counterattack like a [-]-meter race with lightning speed.
The more time passed, the more they felt that the trophy that was placed on the sidelines and made its first public appearance, consisting of 32 arcs made of silver materials, seemed to have nothing to do with them.
In the Eredivisie, where the 4-3-3 offense is common, where have you seen such a defense?
On the Roma side, from Mourinho, who is sitting on the sidelines, to the players who execute tactics calmly and orderly on the field, all of them are full of confidence.
Even Zhan Jun, who commented on this game, said that Roma seemed to have become a golden bell cover and an iron cloth shirt. No matter how Feyenoord attacked, they could not find the fatal Achilles heel.
In the 12th minute, Feyenoord striker Dessels took a long shot and was blocked by Mkhitaryan. After receiving the ball, Chen Xiaoliang headed forward and immediately started to dribble forward at full speed.
The Colombian midfielder Sistra, who was grabbing the ball next to him, started almost side by side with him at the same time, but after running, after passing 10 meters, he found that he was thrown away by two positions!
Even Cesko, who was standing near the center line and was familiar with Chen Xiaoliang almost day and night, was surprised and immediately changed the slow start to a full speed run.
Feyenoord didn't expect that his black South American teammates would be thrown away by the opponent's midfielder with speed. Pedersen, the main force, immediately teamed up to double-team Chen Xiaoliang.
However, Chen Xiaoliang, who was already in a state of extreme speed, like a sports car with the gas pedal pressed to the bottom, would not stop here. He was 6-7 meters away from Pedersen, and he directed the ball towards the outside line on the right. One trip, and then the legs strode like hot wheels to chase the ball out of the trip.
Pedersen seemed to feel that the man in front of him was rushing towards him with a gust of wind. He wanted to turn around and start the machine immediately when he was sideways, but before he had stepped two meters, the gust of wind had already howled to his side.
He subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hand to pull it, but when he stretched out his hand, he couldn't even grab the hem of Chen Xiaoliang's clothes.
Mourinho and Forti looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes at the same time.
At the same time, countless fans in the stands hugged their heads or opened their mouths wide, making all kinds of exclamation sounds!
Cesko was also going crazy, seeing that Chen Xiaoliang was running from behind to in front of him.
And Pellegrini, who originally wanted to do the second point behind him, has slowed down. He knows that if he catches up, the attack of this ball will be over long ago.
After Chen Xiaoliang shook off Pedersen, who was too late to turn around, he moved slightly inside along the outside line.
The two central defenders of Feyenoord, the Argentine Senesi and the Austrian Trauner, did not expect that Roma would simply and directly attack their defenseless hinterland, and Senesi, who suddenly changed from slow to fast Scott has already left them both behind.
The coach said that Roma's counterattack would be fast, but the coach didn't say it would be so fast!
Zhan Jun: "Xiao Liang took the ball to the right side of the penalty area and made a low pass!"
"Middle! Sesko!!!"
Zhang Lu: "Oh!!!"
Zhan Jun: "It's a pity that without defense, Cesko's stab shot missed the target. The Feyenoord goalkeeper Bijelo stretched his leg to block it and missed the post!"
"But I have to say that this counterattack ignited the enthusiasm of the entire stadium! Many fans showed incredible expressions!"
"The camera was on Feyenoord captain Kokcu, who seemed to be accusing left-back Pedersen of being too slow to react."
"But Pedersen looked aggrieved, as if to say, how can I catch up with this speed?"
"Today's Xiao Liang seems to be possessed by a great saint!"
Zhang Lu: "Hahahaha! But this ball is a bit worse than the one that Bell surpassed Maicon and assisted Crouch back then. It's not that Xiao Liang ran slowly, but the defender was too inexperienced, or seriously underestimated Xiao Liang's speed. It looked like it passed without any obstacles, and Maicon followed for a while."
Zhan Jun smiled: "The problem is, Zhang Zhi, it seems that even we haven't seen Xiao Liang's super acceleration like this before!"

Directors, if it is convenient, you are welcome to post more chapters and short comments. Because of the unnecessary back and forth, I set the speech requirement to "1 follower value", but it turned out that the out-of-circle index has not been able to increase.
Of course, these are insignificant things, just follow the fate, thank you.
(End of this chapter)
With the perfect ending of winning the final game with 3 goals, Chen Xiaoliang got 3 hours of training value and 2 physical recovery cards.
Training value 20 → 23
In the past, Chen Xiaoliang would turn off the system after collecting the league missions, but today, in the [Season Mission] interface that only lights up once a season, there is a huge reward package waiting for him.
[Season mission: win the Serie A championship this season]
【Mission progress: Successfully won the championship】
【任务奖励：任意18-20属性+1，任意1-17属性+1】
Sure enough, it is the championship reward of the five major leagues, which is much better than the reward of "100 training points + training value for the number of times played" for the Soviet Super League championship last season, especially for the fact that most of my attributes are generally high now. This kind of reward is also more in line with your own needs.
Since the rewards cannot be saved and must be used immediately, Chen Xiaoliang carefully considered the strategy of adding points.
At present, the three most cost-effective attributes that I am eligible for are 17 passing, 17 speed and 18 crossing.
If the two bonuses are used separately, it means that the cross can be added to 19, and a 17 can be added to 18.
But if it is used on an attribute of 17, a 19 attribute can be directly cultivated.
The total income has not changed. How to add it to the end is one 19, one 18, and one 17. The key depends on how you choose.
Passing is naturally important. It can be said that it is the most important and frequent behavior in football, but the attributes of passing more affect the accuracy of passing. In actual games, passing will involve many complicated factors.
For example, when it is inconvenient to turn around to catch the ball with your back, if you want to pass the ball with your heels, you still need the help of the "technical" attribute, and when you use one kick to pass the ball and pass it continuously, you need the help of the "stop ball" attribute.
Crossing is equally important, and it has even become Chen Xiaoliang's most important method to create scoring opportunities for forwards. This kick surpasses the crossing level of almost all midfielders in Serie A. It is also different and better than Brozovic and Barre. The biggest factor in pulling the midfielder.
However, the application area of the cross is too small, and it can only be used when the attack is in progress, the outflank is in place in the center, and there is space on the side.
And the cross is the same as the pass, and it becomes useless in defense.
If it is Barcelona at its peak, or Manchester City today, when the team is leading, they will also use a large number of pass transfers to control the possession of the ball, so as to achieve the compression of the opponent's ball possession rate. The ball is used to protect one's own goal.
This is also the so-called "the best defense is offense".
As written in martial arts novels, Dugu Nine Swords, there is no retreat, every move is an attack, if you attack the enemy, you have to defend, and of course you don't have to defend.
Back then, Barcelona also made the pass-and-control style of play that upholds this concept popular in the world.
But Chen Xiaoliang's head coach is Mourinho...he is a man at the other extreme. In 2010, when he was sent off one man and had only 24% ball possession, he relied on pure defense to defeat Guardiola's peak. Barcelona's head coach.
In the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, Inter Milan had only 1 shot, which was not within the range of the goal frame. The number of successful passes was only 67, and the pass success rate was 42%. These two statistics can be compared with Busquets. The acting skills can also be called "reaching the pinnacle".
Barcelona, on the other hand, had 555 successful passes, but under the iron-blooded defense of Inter Milan, 15 shots in the audience were exchanged for only 4 shots on the goal frame.
Do you talk to such a coach about using the pass to control the rhythm of the game?
No need to think about it, next season Roma will still focus on defensive counterattacks when facing strong teams and big competitions.
What restaurant to order what food.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoliang decided to add the two bonus attributes to the speed of attacking and defending.
Speed 17→19
The counterattack can be launched faster in offense, and the retreat can be retreated from the frontcourt faster in defense.
However, this ability to get in and out of the court and become faster back and forth will take a few days to show to the coaches and teammates, but Helena, who lives together at home, experienced it first.
No way, who let physical attributes can also affect life outside the court.
After adding points, there is another reward.
[Season Mission: Win the Coppa Italia this season]
【Mission progress: Successfully won the championship】
[Task Reward: Skill Value +20]
Skill value 69→89
Looking at this reward, and then looking at the previous Serie A champions, it is a bit shabby...
In the Soviet Super League last season, reaching the top 8 in the Europa League also gave 10 skill points...
But after thinking about it, the Serie A teams start from the third round of the Coppa Italia. Even if they reach the final, they will only have five games. The opponents are basically those teams in Serie A. The difficulty and time span of the competition are relatively limited. , so it is not bad to be able to give 20 points for winning the championship.
The missions of the other seasons have not been revealed yet, it seems that the rewards can only be collected after the season is completely over.
After processing the system, it is to reply a large number of congratulatory messages.
Sir Alex Ferguson, Grandpa Heathfield, Boss Wu, Gerrard, Sun Jihai, and even the godfather's confidants sent congratulations on his behalf, and he took time to reply one by one.
However, he also made a congratulatory call to one person, that is Shen Mengyu, a fellow from Donghai City. This season, she helped the Celtic women's football team win the FA Women's Football League Cup and the UEFA Cup. Missing the Women's Champions League next season, but for Shen Mengyu, who is studying abroad for the first year, it is definitely a successful start.
Finally, his old buddies, Glasgow Rangers, regrettably lost to Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on penalties in the Europa League final a few days ago.
Chen Xiaoliang also made a consoling phone call to them. They also agreed that Rangers must pass the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifying round next season, and strive for everyone to meet in the group stage to achieve an alternative reunion.
As for the overwhelming comments from hundreds of thousands of fans on social media, Chen Xiaoliang can only leave it to Riise's team for public relations.
Looking out of the window at the paparazzi pretending to be passing by on the road and hiding in the car to secretly take pictures, Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself, this is probably the trouble after becoming famous.
A day and a half of rest passed by, and it was already May 5. Early in the morning, the players regrouped at the Trigoria base with beaming expressions, and started the final round of the season in this "hometown". a training session.
Since this year's European Cup is held for the first time, and although Albania is very close to Italy, across the Otranto Strait across the sea, there is only a flight distance of more than 600 kilometers from Rome to Tirana, but this country The city is still too unfamiliar to the two clubs of Roma and Feyenoord.
Therefore, both sides chose to arrive at the local area 2 days in advance for adaptive training.
And on the last day in Trigolia, the team had to finish the tactical meeting.
Since the Eredivisie has only 18 teams and 34 rounds, it has ended before the Serie A.
Feyenoord won the third place in the league, and there is a clear gap of 3 points from the champion Ajax. The total value of the regular 12-man starter is around 11 million euros.
From these data, it can be clearly seen that in terms of team strength and specific performance of the two teams, Roma is stable in all aspects.
Moreover, Malaysia transferred from Feyenoord in the winter window. At that time, the opponent did not expect that the two teams would meet in the European Cup final in less than half a year after going around, and they just sold it. This player is also the only player in the team to be selected for the World Cup squad...
After UEFA changed the rules in the 2018-19 season, players who represented the original club in European games before the winter window transfer can also play in the same level of European games for the new club after the winter window transfer, and the two teams When discussing the transfer of Malaysia, there was no clause to avoid this season, so Malaysia can definitely play in this final against the old club.
However, considering that he came from Feyenoord's youth training, he has been in this Dutch club for 15 years after turning into a U17 professional player in 6, and in order to allow more young people to have the opportunity to play in major competitions, Mourinho He chose to let Zalewski start as the left wing back.
Although he failed to start, Forty's tactical report and player analysis still referred a lot to Malaysia's opinions.
After all, he is more familiar with that club than any scout in Rome.
Mourinho's tactical requirements are very simple, there are only three:
1. Steady defense.Especially in the cup match where the outcome is determined by the first battle, Mourinho has always believed in attacking to win the scene and defending to win the championship, so this game still focuses on defensive counterattacks;
2. Fight speed.The speed of Feyenoord's defense is average except for Dutch right back Gil Truida, who is fast, especially the Austrian central defender Trauner. As a typical white central defender, he is very slow to turn around. Obvious disadvantage.
Under the tone of anti-reverse and retreat, the opponent's back line is bound to press forward, so while the ball speed and running speed are double-lined, Rome's counterattack can easily penetrate the opponent's defense line;
3. Win three championships.This is a battle of dignity. The Serie A champion is against the third Eredivisie, and the starter worth nearly 3 million is against the 1 million starter. Winning the third championship of the season is what the team must do.If this kind of disparity in the game is lost, not only will the outside world question the quality of Roma, the new Serie A champion, but the jokes will make the club look down from top to bottom.
Concise and clear, without any special arrangements, targeted tactics, playing the self since the season is Mourinho's tactical arrangements.
And after the players have been tempered by the Coppa Italia and Serie A within half a month, they no longer have too many thoughts and worries about the championship battle. They themselves also believe that this event should be their perfect season. of rests.
Despite this, when the players arrived in Tirana, the capital of Albania overnight, the development of the situation on the scene greatly exceeded the expectations of the club, including Feyenoord.
If the team returned to Rome after winning the championship in Turin and was surrounded by local fans at the airport, then after landing at Tirana Mother Teresa International Airport that night, they were once again surrounded by more than 2000 Albanian local fans The warm welcome from the fans at the pick-up port was purely unexpected.
However, unlike Rome, Mourinho's "fans" accounted for a considerable part of the fans who picked him up at the airport. The words printed on slogans and posters by many people were also "the most special one to follow in the world". .
As a stadium held by the Albanian Football Association, the 22000 final tickets of the Aviation Stadium have long been sold out. Many fans of Roma and Feyenoord can't buy tickets at all. They can only buy tickets from scalpers and the black market. , The price has also increased by more than 5-20 times.
According to the Italian media "All Market", the highest ticket price for this game has been fired to more than 10000 euros.
Even the hotel was sold out. Many Roma fans complained that due to the soaring price of local hotels, the rooms that had been booked early were canceled by profiteers for no reason, just to sell them to people with higher prices.
These things not only caught the two clubs by surprise, but even UEFA didn't expect them, but for them, it was obviously more joy than surprise.
In an interview with the media after arriving in Tirana, UEFA President Ceferin said that the degree of attention to the game even greatly surpassed the Europa League final between Frankfurt and Glasgow Rangers on May 5, which shows that UEFA It is completely correct to host the UEFA League, and it will allow more clubs to participate in intercontinental competitions and share the fruits of European football development at the competitive and economic levels.
However, the media and fans know well that Feyenoord's influence in the world after leaving the Netherlands can't be compared with Mourinho, who has been in the world for 20 years, and Chen Xiaoliang, who is rising.
The reason why this game has attracted so much attention is not because Roma is the champion of the new Serie A, and many media are hyping before the game. If Roma wins the first European Cup, then Mourinho will become the first to win the European Cup. A head coach who has won the Champions League, Europa League and Europa League.
This is what people come to see.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, club owner Dan Friedkin arranged the team directly in the Wanhao Hotel built on the stadium.
In addition to convenient transportation and complete equipment, you can directly enter the stadium for adaptive training when you go downstairs.
In contrast, Feyenoord, who has limited finances, can only live in a hotel on the outskirts of the city and rent a local club's training ground to maintain daily training.
The Wanhao Hotel is like facing an enemy. There are almost 24 hours of Roman fans waiting downstairs. During the day, there are at least 200 people, and there are still people waiting before 11 o'clock at night.
Mourinho had to arrange the evening time every day, ask the hotel security to maintain order, send a few players down to greet the fans and try to meet everyone's signature needs.
Although this will affect the preparation and training of players, the well-informed Mourinho knows that the crazy love of fans is generally a thing that far outweighs the disadvantages.
Popularity and traffic are things that Rome urgently needs to accumulate.
Although the boss just said a few days ago that Xia Chuang will still spend a lot of money this year, and the club's revenue has increased significantly, there is still a long way to go before fully covering the large debts accumulated in previous years.
Under the constraints of UEFA's Financial Fair Play Act, Pinto has privately informed Mourinho that about 3500 million euros in transfer funds can be used this summer.
After all, after renewing the contracts of Chen Xiaoliang and Sesco, the salary increase of the two alone has already increased the annual expenditure by 1000 million euros.
In addition, it cost another 1000 million euros plus an annual salary of 150 million euros to sign Kvaratsheria. If the visa exemption for Belotti and Dybala is negotiated, although there is no transfer fee, the two will be 800 yuan. The annual salary and bonus requirements of 400 and 1200 million will add another [-] million euros to the annual expenditure.
These three add up to 2350 million euros.
There is still Wijnaldum's loan. The Dutch midfielder's after-tax fixed annual salary in the wealthy Paris Saint-Germain has reached about 500 million euros.
In France, the social security contribution rate is about 12% of income, while the income tax rate for high-income groups with an annual salary of more than 16 euros is 45%. Ultra-high-income groups like players also need to pay a 4% high-income contribution fee.
This also means that Wijnaldum's pre-tax annual salary has reached 1100 million euros, which can rank in the top ten in the entire Serie A, which is the same as Chen Xiaoliang, who has just renewed his contract.
Paris asked Rome to bear 40%, while Rome set a clause that the appearance rate exceeded 50% and automatically triggered a mandatory buyout of 1000 million.
Paris also wanted to get rid of Wijnaldum as soon as possible after they confirmed that they would buy the 2016 Golden Boy Award winner Renato Sanches from Lille in the summer window.
It’s not over yet, Pinto is in Buenos Aires talking about the transfer of Enzo Fernandez, the fee of 1200 million plus the annual salary of 150 million euros. The clause of 25% of the transfer, otherwise Enzo will be sold after the end of the World Cup.
Therefore, the two transactions of these two people will cost the club as little as 1850 million and as much as 2850 million.
For all of the above, a cost of 5200 million euros has been determined.
Finally, the outstanding young player Zalewski is about to start contract renewal negotiations. The 32-year-old Smalling has one year left in his contract. With limited funds, it is still the most cost-effective operation mode to renew his contract. .
In addition to players, the club also has to repay loan interest, as well as coaches, team doctors, scouts, analysts, office clerks, chefs, gardeners, security guards, and a large number of people to support.
During the summer offseason, the club’s facilities need to be maintained, from the turf on the training ground, the equipment in the gym, the computers in the office, and the food in the cafeteria. If it grows larger, it will cost money to buy and maintain.
There are also a lot of expenses on the game day, travel expenses, accommodation expenses.
If the team performs well, scores more goals, and keeps more clean sheets, it also has happiness troubles. The goal bonuses, assist bonuses, zero seal bonuses, and championship bonuses that need to be distributed will also increase.
All kinds of things seem to be okay, but together they are a big number.
Counting the remaining promised 3500 million euros, in fact, the boss Dan Friedkin has already paid more than 1 million euros for the new season.
Mourinho knows that with the current economic situation in Serie A, it is already a dream to get such support from the Friedkin family. Therefore, in the transfer of Dybala, Belotti and Wijnaldum, Including the previous transfer of Matic, he personally called the other party to lobby and invite, and used his championship resume and past relationships to reduce the club's expenditure.
Under such circumstances, giving full play to the role of myself and Chen Xiaoliang as the two "cash cows" to drain and increase popularity has become the top priority in the championship stage at the end of the season.
The more sponsors you get now, the more money you can spend in summer.
Of course, in addition to increasing revenue, you also have to cut costs. When someone comes, someone has to leave. Players who should be sold must also be sold, downsizing redundant staff, recovering funds, and reducing salaries.
American full-back Brian Reynolds bought from Dallas disappointed Mourinho;
In addition, Karlsdorp, who has a problem with professionalism in Mourinho's eyes, has already been on the sale list;
Four players who are on loan and do not want to return to Rome to play, Turkish winger Yundel, Spanish goalkeeper Paul Lopez, Swedish goalkeeper Robin Olsen and old captain Florenzi will also be sold to their current club. team.
The first two will be transferred to Marseille, the third will be transferred to Aston Villa, and Florenzi will be permanently transferred to AC Milan;
The substitute goalkeeper, the Brazilian Forzato, has made great achievements as a substitute this season, but he is unwilling to be Patricio's substitute again, and the transfer application was approved by Mourinho;
Wellertu's 1100 million transfer to Marseille has also been finalized. He is not what Mourinho actively wants to sell, but the unstable starting lineup and the introduction of a new midfielder next season make him decide to return to his homeland, France. Get a stable chance to play and fight for the World Cup list;
Two oil bottles, Thornton has retired, and Diawara moved to Anderlecht for 150 million;
The young defender Calafioli still performed mediocrely after renting Genoa for half a season, unable to meet the team's multi-line combat requirements next season, and was sold to Basal for 100 million euros;
The most regrettable thing is that the young striker Afenna Gyan, who was once given high hopes by Mourinho, gradually lost in the sensual scene after becoming famous with one goal, and his performance in training continued to decline. Mourinho approached him privately I tried it once, but it turned out that it didn't work.
After experiencing Balotelli, Thornton and Dele Ali, he is not in the mood and has no time to enlighten young people again and again, not to mention the old ones in the team are Matic, the young ones are Chen Xiaoliang, Sesco , Even Wu Lei's training attitude and professionalism on loan are enough to be Ji'an's role model.
Since Jian is unwilling to learn well, the transfer of 600 million euros to Cremona, who will rise from the second place in Serie B to Serie A next season, has been negotiated.
Sell it down.
He is going to be 60 soon. For a man who laughed at the then 2008-year-old Juventus coach Ranieri as an old man who should retire when he first took over Inter Milan in 56, he himself understands his coaching career The countdown has entered.
What's more, he now has the best talent in the world. He doesn't want to waste time on those young people who are lost. He wants to shine again in the final stage of coaching, leave football as a winner and become Legend forever.
Considering the security pressure of the hotel, Mourinho did not personally go to the gate to sign for the fans, nor did he let the most popular Chen Xiaoliang do so.
But when he arrived at the stadium ahead of schedule on the day of the game, he asked the players to enter the field to prepare as soon as he got off the bus, and he took the initiative to meet the requirements of many fans for signatures and group photos by the side of the iron fence.
The fans notified each other, and immediately a large number of people heard about it, and it was not until the stadium security surrounded by the adult wall that they couldn't stand it, and warned Mourinho that if he was so "close to the people", there would be a risk of being trampled, Mourinho waved his hand. He waved and walked into the court playing coolly, which attracted a burst of screams from the fans.
As the game time approached, the media, the fans present, and even Feyenoord were surprised to find that almost 22000% of the 85-seat stadium was supported by Roma fans... except for thousands of tickets for Roma fans The exclusive tickets for Albania's local fans are almost all fans of Rome.
Feyenoord fans only got tickets for a small part of the stands...Club staff protested to UEFA, this is called a neutral venue?Is this the home of Rome?
The UEFA official looked at the hot football market and the passionate scene, and kindly explained: Be good, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and play the game well.
You are indispensable for the broadcast fee share, who makes Rome popular.
The 12 founding clubs of the European Super League have never messed with me, so you want to be dissatisfied?
In the end, the game started as scheduled.
While kicking, Feyenoord also discovered that the situation was not only one-sided for the fans on the field, but also for the situation on the pitch.
It seems that what they are facing is not 11 people, but a pack of 11 wolves with fierce faces:
Patricio;
Spinazzola, Mancini, Smalling, Ibanez, Zalewski;
Mkhitaryan, Matic;
Chen Xiaoliang;
Sesco, Pellegrini.
Although they continue to maintain a possession rate of more than 60%, what Feyenoord does is to pass the ball, pass the ball, and then pass the ball in the midfield. , and then launched a quick counterattack like a [-]-meter race with lightning speed.
The more time passed, the more they felt that the trophy that was placed on the sidelines and made its first public appearance, consisting of 32 arcs made of silver materials, seemed to have nothing to do with them.
In the Eredivisie, where the 4-3-3 offense is common, where have you seen such a defense?
On the Roma side, from Mourinho, who is sitting on the sidelines, to the players who execute tactics calmly and orderly on the field, all of them are full of confidence.
Even Zhan Jun, who commented on this game, said that Roma seemed to have become a golden bell cover and an iron cloth shirt. No matter how Feyenoord attacked, they could not find the fatal Achilles heel.
In the 12th minute, Feyenoord striker Dessels took a long shot and was blocked by Mkhitaryan. After receiving the ball, Chen Xiaoliang headed forward and immediately started to dribble forward at full speed.
The Colombian midfielder Sistra, who was grabbing the ball next to him, started almost side by side with him at the same time, but after running, after passing 10 meters, he found that he was thrown away by two positions!
Even Cesko, who was standing near the center line and was familiar with Chen Xiaoliang almost day and night, was surprised and immediately changed the slow start to a full speed run.
Feyenoord didn't expect that his black South American teammates would be thrown away by the opponent's midfielder with speed. Pedersen, the main force, immediately teamed up to double-team Chen Xiaoliang.
However, Chen Xiaoliang, who was already in a state of extreme speed, like a sports car with the gas pedal pressed to the bottom, would not stop here. He was 6-7 meters away from Pedersen, and he directed the ball towards the outside line on the right. One trip, and then the legs strode like hot wheels to chase the ball out of the trip.
Pedersen seemed to feel that the man in front of him was rushing towards him with a gust of wind. He wanted to turn around and start the machine immediately when he was sideways, but before he had stepped two meters, the gust of wind had already howled to his side.
He subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hand to pull it, but when he stretched out his hand, he couldn't even grab the hem of Chen Xiaoliang's clothes.
Mourinho and Forti looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes at the same time.
At the same time, countless fans in the stands hugged their heads or opened their mouths wide, making all kinds of exclamation sounds!
Cesko was also going crazy, seeing that Chen Xiaoliang was running from behind to in front of him.
And Pellegrini, who originally wanted to do the second point behind him, has slowed down. He knows that if he catches up, the attack of this ball will be over long ago.
After Chen Xiaoliang shook off Pedersen, who was too late to turn around, he moved slightly inside along the outside line.
The two central defenders of Feyenoord, the Argentine Senesi and the Austrian Trauner, did not expect that Roma would simply and directly attack their defenseless hinterland, and Senesi, who suddenly changed from slow to fast Scott has already left them both behind.
The coach said that Roma's counterattack would be fast, but the coach didn't say it would be so fast!
Zhan Jun: "Xiao Liang took the ball to the right side of the penalty area and made a low pass!"
"Middle! Sesko!!!"
Zhang Lu: "Oh!!!"
Zhan Jun: "It's a pity that without defense, Cesko's stab shot missed the target. The Feyenoord goalkeeper Bijelo stretched his leg to block it and missed the post!"
"But I have to say that this counterattack ignited the enthusiasm of the entire stadium! Many fans showed incredible expressions!"
"The camera was on Feyenoord captain Kokcu, who seemed to be accusing left-back Pedersen of being too slow to react."
"But Pedersen looked aggrieved, as if to say, how can I catch up with this speed?"
"Today's Xiao Liang seems to be possessed by a great saint!"
Zhang Lu: "Hahahaha! But this ball is a bit worse than the one that Bell surpassed Maicon and assisted Crouch back then. It's not that Xiao Liang ran slowly, but the defender was too inexperienced, or seriously underestimated Xiao Liang's speed. It looked like it passed without any obstacles, and Maicon followed for a while."
Zhan Jun smiled: "The problem is, Zhang Zhi, it seems that even we haven't seen Xiao Liang's super acceleration like this before!"
