Chapter 289 Welcome to Confrontation Road!
Naples arrived in Rome the day before the match, and at the same time they came, in addition to reporters and scouts from all over the world, there was also a financial statement from Spain.
Despite his preparations, Chen Xiaoliang slightly underestimated the cost of raising a low-level club.
新赛季目前在西协乙第3组联赛18支球队位居第13名的伊比萨岛，职员薪资、球员薪资、5000人的小主场场地维护、训练设施维保、算在一块每周也要花上2万欧元。
There is also the transfer application. According to the current situation and lineup, whether relegation can be confirmed at the end of the season can not be confirmed. Riise, who replaced Chen Xiaoliang in managing the team's daily affairs, and the coaching staff made several lists. The transfer fee for the "ace" player of Association B is about 30 euros.
These are all net expenses. Although the football atmosphere in Spain is very good, most La Liga teams can’t make ends meet. What’s more, the small teams in the fourth level league, the average ticket price of the game is less than 4 euros, and they want to make money purely by the club’s own operation , that is simply a fantasy.
Since this is the case, what else is there to say, the boss will personally end up making money.
Riise signed two sponsorships that had been dragging on, and specially picked a day for Chen Xiaoliang to accept the commercial shooting work arranged by the sponsors in Rome.
As a result, the players on the island discovered that the home stadium was renamed Jiadele Stadium, and that there was no need to spend money to use drinks during training and games, and the sports equipment was replaced by Puma.
It doesn't matter to the sponsors, as long as the advertisement is shot by Chen Xiaoliang, they don't care who uses the sponsored items.
However, compared to such insignificant things as the sponsorship brought by Chen Xiaoliang to the Ibiza Island Club, a big or small thing happened in Spain as well.
Since 12 of the 9 founding clubs of the UEFA Europa League encountered tremendous pressure after the announcement of the UEFA Europa League, they announced their withdrawal from the UEFA Super League plan. The remaining three clubs, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, were unwilling to give up and were still working with UEFA and FIFA is dead.
Recently, A22, the parent company of the UEFA Super League dominated by Real Madrid, faced UEFA's appeal in the 17th Commercial Court of Madrid where the company is registered.
Before UEFA expressed that it would punish the three clubs that insisted on refusing to give up, and the three clubs applied for the protection of the Madrid court, so UEFA launched an appeal against it.
But why do you say that this matter can be big or small, because it is a sign that UEFA and A22 are officially fighting at the legal level, which means that this matter has reached the point where it cannot be resolved through negotiation. One side paid a heavy price.
But to put it mildly, even UEFA themselves know that it's only a matter of time before their appeal is dismissed on Madrid's turf.
Real Madrid, which has national symbolic significance for Spain, is not comparable to UEFA, which is "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", whether it is its own domestic influence or the current board of directors headed by Florentino. of.
Therefore, the result of this appeal will not determine the final fate of the European Super League.
UEFA bet on the battlefield in the European Court of Justice.
Although the domestic courts of Germany, Poland and other countries have repeatedly challenged the European Court of Justice on domestic sovereignty issues in recent years, violating the principle that EU laws take precedence over the domestic laws of member states, when it comes to sovereign matters, no country will be so stupid as to Being manipulated by the "European traitors" of the EU will harm the interests of the country.
But football matters are clearly outside the realm of sovereignty.
So the current confrontation is on the surface between "freedom and monopoly", "closed and open", "co-prosperity and oligarchy", "rich and grassroots", "tradition and subversion". A large number of small actions are being operated in the dark, trying to finally influence the final ruling of the European Court of Justice.
Recently, Florentino has spoken publicly, claiming that he has made adjustments to the negative impact and potential disadvantages brought about by the previous closed league structure, and will establish a 60-80 team consisting of 3-4 teams in the future. There is an open league with relegation and relegation.
Considering that the United Kingdom has already left the European Union and the British government has long publicly stated that it will punish the Premier League teams participating in the UEFA Super League, and the biggest purpose of the establishment of the UEFA Super League is to forcibly carve up a piece of interest from the increasingly thriving Premier League, so A22’s recent actions All are working around clubs and government sports departments in countries such as Spain, Italy, France and Portugal.
Their representatives were at Rome at this time.
But all talks are confidential and not public.
When the opposition from the outside world is obviously higher, and UEFA and FIFA sternly express that they will be punished, the three clubs except Huangsawen have no way out. None of the other clubs wanted to speak out publicly to get involved in this matter.
But in private, especially clubs like Roma, Marseille, and PSV, which are well-known in various countries, but far inferior to those giants in Europe, are all watching.
At this moment, Pinto expressed his opinion to the representatives of A22 that Rome is fully willing to participate if it is legal and compliant.
Chen Xiaoliang, as a core player, was notified of this matter by the board of directors together with Mourinho, but both of them signed a confidentiality agreement, and they were not allowed to spread any news of the meeting or Roma's statement on this matter.
Not being able to tell the outside world doesn’t mean insiders can’t talk about it. In a private discussion with Mourinho, he directly stated to Chen Xiaoliang that this was an infighting after the uneven distribution of spoils among underworld gangs.
Florentino is not reconciled to the fact that UEFA and the Premier League earn more money. He hopes to create an epoch-making new competition like the way Real Madrid created the Champions League 70 years ago. This will not only bring endless revenue growth to his club, but also His personal name will go down in the annals of human history.
But Mourinho's closing words are as follows:
"I'm old, whether it's the Champions League, the European Super League, or the possible future national team career, I'm destined to be just a passer-by."
"And you, if this event can really be established, no matter which team you are in at that time, they will definitely try their best to make you appear on their field."
"Without Ni, what would they use to compete with the Premier League for the Asian market?"
After a brief interlude, it was the full dedication of the teammates who were completely unaware of the training.
The 6-day rest is like a gift, giving the players a breathing space in the two-line battle.
But this kind of benefit is obviously two-way, and the Naples players also enjoy sufficient rest.
At the pre-match press conference, Naples coach Spalletti was very low-key, saying that Roma is the well-deserved favorite to win the championship, and their goal tomorrow night is to try to keep 1 point.
Mourinho was more direct, saying that Spalletti has always been a liar, and they will definitely stick to their very aggressive football in the game.
Spalletti did not tell the truth. He just hoped that the players of his team would lower their expectations and put on a low profile. Not only that, but he was also full of anger.
Kvaratsheria, who was his first target, was cut off halfway by Roma. This account must be settled with Mourinho.
After 5 days of training, another 20 points of training points were credited to the account. Due to the increase in attributes, the speed of training points was too slow. Chen Xiaoliang also secretly used two physical cards to practice at home for an extra 3 hours. Anyway, there was no training in 6 days In the competition, the fatigue value is well controlled, and occasionally increasing the amount of training will not cause any adverse consequences.
Training value 12 → 35
Stamina Recovery Card 6 → 4
An hour before the game, the starting lists of both sides were released, and Naples' starting lineup was no different from the previous main lineup:
Goalkeeper Meret;
Four defenders Oliveira, Rahmani, Korean central defender Kim Min-jae who has performed well this season, and captain right back Di Lorenzo;
Lobot has a single midfielder, Zelinski is on the left, and Cameroon midfielder Anguisa, who has also opened up this season, is on the right;
Left winger Politano, center Osimhen, right winger Lozano.
Roma's lineup is also full of main players:
goalkeeper Patricio;
Back four Malasia, Gwadiol, Smalling, Celik;
Kristante and Enzo partnered with double midfielders, and Chen Xiaoliang was in front;
Left winger Kwa, right winger Dybala, and central Lu Cesco are at the top.
However, even in the past 6 days, the players watched a lot of opponent videos and materials provided by the coaching staff, and thought they were mentally prepared to play Liverpool, and they were playing at home, but the referee, The moment Roma's old friend Osatou blew the opening whistle, they were still shocked by Naples' crazy move.
Osmeen and Politano stand on both sides of the ball in the center circle. Among the remaining 8 players except the goalkeeper, only two central defenders, Rahmani and Kim Min-jae, stand behind, and the remaining 6 players are all in the midfield. Line up from left to right on the line!
Even the Roma fans couldn't help exclaiming "Oh".
Foti couldn't help asking Mourinho: "Jose? What are they doing?"
Mourinho sneered: "What are you doing? This is not here to protect 1 point, this is clearly here to fight us desperately!"
On the field, Chen Xiaoliang took the initiative to step back, and quickly turned his head to let the two midfielder teammates lean slightly to the side, paying attention to protecting the sides.
Lou Yichen: "Welcome to the focus match of the 11th round of Serie A brought by Penguin Sports. Naples, the leader of the list, will challenge the defending champion Roma, who is only 1 point behind them!"
"What formation is Naples playing here?!"
Just when the commentator was still wondering, Osatu's whistle sounded!
"Beep!"
Hearing the whistle, Osmeen kicked the ball to Rahmani behind him, and then the 8 people standing on the center line all started to rush towards the hinterland of Rome like short-cannon players hearing the sound of the starting gun!
Rahmani made a big pass to his left. The defensive combination there was Dybala, Celik and Enzo on the right in Roma. Chen Xiaoliang quickly retreated to the front of the penalty area, because he knew it was definitely not a blind foot. With Meng's pass, the opponent hit the weakness of the three players on the right side of Rome who are all relatively short.
Sure enough, Zelinski pressed Celik to head the ball, and Lobotka, who ran to him, did not hesitate at all. Before Enzo came up to press the ball, he suddenly transferred the ball to the middle. The ball, Chen Xiaoliang immediately stepped forward to block,
Anguisa also kept the ball, flicked the ball to his right, and sent a diagonal pass into the penalty area!
Osimhen, who was wearing a face protector like a Zorro mask, immediately ran to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, and grabbed the ball from Gwadior who was pressing on him.
The two confronted each other for a while, and Gwadior immediately posted it, followed by Smalling who came to help defend, while Chen Xiaoliang and Enzo had already retreated to the middle of the penalty area.
Osmeen suddenly started and broke through to the bottom line!
Gwadior followed closely, and Osmeen did not flash out of the space where he could break through and get in!
While watching the fight between the two, Chen Xiaoliang kept his eyes on the opponent's player in the middle.
As long as Gwadior does not lose his position for this goal, Osmeen will only have two options: pass back or forcefully sweep the goal!
However, when all the players in Roma and even the players in Naples were thinking this way, Osmeen suddenly stepped on his left foot and raised his right foot during the sprint, and shot a burst at the ball rolling forward!
But his body at this moment is only about 2 meters away from the bottom line!
Patricio, who was already guarding the near post, immediately fell to the ground, but the ball crossed an arc on the lawn and blasted into the goal close to the gap between the near post and his body!
Lou Yichen: "Beautiful! Beautiful!"
"Zero angle shot! Oh my God!"
"In less than 1 minute of the opening of Naples, striker Osmeen, who seemed to be unsealed this season, forced a small-angle shot from a position on the right side of the penalty area close to the bottom line by himself, creating a for Naples. Fantastic start!"
Liu Yue: "Gwadiol has already defended the ball very well, and Patricio's positioning is not a problem at all. Watching the replay, Xiao Liang and Enzo also retreated into the penalty area to help Smalling protect the middle. Roma did not make a mistake in defense, it was entirely Osimhen who used his super physical fitness to dodge a little shooting space and then insisted on grasping it."
Lou Yichen: "Let's see! The old goalkeeper Patricio looks helpless!"
Indeed, as the commentator said, even though Patricio has rich experience, has experienced many big scenes, and has been teammates with Ronaldo for more than ten years in the national team, he has never faced such a situation in a game. Unreasonable shot.
He is like this, not to mention the young Gwadiol, and he couldn't help thinking: "Made! Isn't this guy a hundred times stronger than Lukaku?"
Naples also did not expect such a smooth start. Whether it was the coach or the players, those who covered their mouths, hugged their heads, and shook their heads while walking, all rushed over and hugged Osimhen to celebrate. The only one who seemed calm was The head coach Spalletti just stood there laughing and applauding.
Seeing his old opponent successfully install coins, Mourinho was furious, but he had no choice but to blame the players for this kind of fairy ball.
At 1 minute and 45 seconds, the referee Osatu whistled again, but this time it was Roma who kicked off.
The two sides tested each other for a while in the midfield, and Naples, who had a one-goal lead, still played very actively. From time to time, they would encircle and press Roma's midfield.
Chen Xiaoliang has a very obvious feeling, that is, he hasn't seen him for half a year, and this team has "raised the ball" a lot.
In addition to Osmeen, Anguisa, who had fought against him forcibly in speed and confrontation last season, has also calmed down a lot. He no longer acts impulsively, but concentrates on cooperating with his teammates to attack the weakest area of Rome - counterattack Smalling Behind him, positional warfare was fought on the left.
For a while, Dybala seemed to be a right back, and Celik was so pressed that he couldn't even get out of the penalty area.
It's not that Chen Xiaoliang never thought of going to help, but as long as he goes to the right to help defend, Naples will hit the ball to the left to find Osimhen.
In terms of single defense, Gwadiol is not at a disadvantage at all, but the fairy zero-degree kick at the beginning made the Roma players have lingering fears. As long as they see the opponent looking for Osimhen, they will become extra vigilant and restrained.
There is only one Chen Xiaoliang, even if he can run, he can only appear in one place on the field at a time.
Seeing that Osmeen and Lozano made Roma's left side afraid to press easily, Chen Xiaoliang simply decided to change lanes and pick the toughest bones of his opponents.
In the 6th minute, Di Lorenzo launched an attack from the right. While Chen Xiaoliang retreated, he reached out to let Kwa, who was about to return to the defense, stay in the frontcourt.
Kewa has always been unconditionally convinced of the captain who is 3 years younger than himself on the field.
Seeing that there was no defensive pressure, Di Lorenzo continued to dribble forward. In the end, Malaysia let go of Lozano and went up.
Lozano cut to the middle, pretending to attack the middle, Chen Xiaoliang deliberately ran a few steps with him.
Sure enough, the left side was empty, and Osmeen immediately came out of the penalty area to ask for the ball, and Di Lorenzo immediately sent it straight to the ribs of the penalty area.
Gwadiol didn't come out of the penalty area. Osmeen was about to easily catch the ball and enter the penalty area when he felt someone sticking up from the left back. He turned his head and saw that it was Chen Xiaoliang. He immediately entered a highly concentrated Fighting state!
Looking at all the powerhouses in Serie A, which striker doesn't want to single out the captain of Roma, who started out as a defender?
Osmeen doesn’t dangle with opponents like Chiesa. He is of Nigerian descent and is at the golden age of 24. He has always been conceited in his physical fitness. Whether it is speed or explosiveness, his confidence has improved this season. After that, he ate the opponent's defender raw in several games.
Seeing that Chen Xiaoliang wanted to fight himself, he just wanted it!
The two were like this, defending on the left and attacking on the right. At the same time, they chased the through ball passed by Di Lorenzo, and squeezed each other out forcefully while chasing.
This kind of one-half ball, no one has the possession of the ball. As long as there is no obvious pushing action in the hand, the confrontation during running is completely in accordance with the rules.
Once, twice, the two of them ran slower and slower, and the direction of their force seemed to change from the ball in front to the opponent on the side.
Three times, four times, every time they collided, the two of them were secretly surprised!
Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself: "Fuck, what did this black skin eat to grow up! He's much stronger than last season! If it weren't for my good at close defense skills, my strength, balance and explosiveness alone, I probably wouldn't be able to last two years. It will be pushed away!"
Osmeen thought: "What's the matter with this Asian? I can't stand him?! What's more, I bumped his shoulder with my shoulder, but he elbowed my waist and eyes! Damn, my waist is covered It's numb!"
Seeing the ball going down, the two of them couldn't tell who would be the first to touch it, and they both hit the ball within a short distance.
Osmeen pushed Chen Xiaoliang's right shoulder with his left hand, and Chen Xiaoliang pushed between the two ribs on Osmeen's left side with his right hand.
The two wobbled, fell to the sides, and then looked back at the lineman at the same time. Seeing that the lineman didn't respond with half a dime, they were about to get up when Gwadiol, who had been defending for a while, came up with a big foot. Just kick the ball to the frontcourt!
"Foul! Referee, he poked me!" Osimhen yelled at the line referee, who ignored him at all.
And Chen Xiaoliang got up early and rushed to the front field at full speed!
While running, I really wanted to turn around and shout at Gwadior: "You are such a genius!"
Gwadiol really noticed that the captain, who usually slides and shovels during training, actually sees the ball enter the range of tackles, and even pushes Osmeen down when he can destroy it out of bounds. Allow yourself space to go up and clear.
And there, their left winger Kwa is waiting!
As Di Lorenzo jogged back to his own half, he looked up at the ball flying above him. When his eyes fell on the horizon, he realized that a red number 77 was catching the ball in his defense zone and rushed towards him. restricted area!
"Not good! No wonder I was given the green light all the way to organize an attack. It turned out to be waiting for me here!"
Even if he understood it now, it was already too late.
Facing South Korean central defender Kim Min-jae, Kewa didn't stick close to him at all, and directly used his speed to rush to the bottom line and forcibly wiped into the penalty area!
Dybala and Sesco both rushed into the penalty area, but another Naples central defender Rahmani, left back Oliveira, midfielder Lobotka and Zelinski also followed up the penalty area!
Kewa looked up, there was no room to pass the ball in the penalty area, and he was close to the baseline, even if he wanted to try Osmeen's zero-degree shot just now, there was really no angle.
What's more, in the fairy ball, you can get in if you want to?
Kewa was slowing down on the left side of the penalty area and was about to adjust his rhythm to see if the opponent's defense would show any gaps. He saw a familiar blood-red figure on the right side of his field of vision running fast towards the penalty area, and raised his left hand in front of the penalty area. Call yourself a pass!
Seeing that Jin Minzai, who was turning around and chasing back, was about to approach him, and Rahmani was about to block him again, Kwa kicked his left foot and passed to the outside of the arc top of the penalty area!
This ball must be scored!Get in at all costs!
Only an equally explosive shot can offset the shadow of being caught off guard by Osimhen's fairy ball just now in the hearts of his teammates!
[Peak Mateus mid-range long-range attribute card has been used]
[Effect: Long shot 20]
[Incidental skill: Good at long-distance shooting]
[Incidental skill: good at powerful shooting]
Chen Xiaoliang doesn't want the other ones. With Kwa's tacit understanding value bonus, his own long-range shooting attribute of 18 can also pile up to 20 in a short period of seconds, but what Chen Xiaoliang wants is to be good at shooting vigorously!
He ran to a place about 5 meters outside the top of the penalty area, and the ball landed just right in front of him and bounced - it bounced to a perfect height!
Chen Xiaoliang began to adjust his steps in small steps!
Anguisa in the restricted area realized something was wrong, it was obvious that the praying mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole were behind him, so he rushed towards Chen Xiaoliang.
Knowing that his physical body was about to face a powerful bombardment like a cannonball, he clenched his teeth, held his breath, and flew sideways to block the long-range shot.
Good at long range... good at long range...
In an instant, countless legendary long-range shooting scenes flashed in Chen Xiaoliang's mind.
But in a trance, the most familiar figure freezes in front of his eyes!
Who else knows himself better than him? !Who else is more familiar with him than himself? !
Chen Xiaoliang swung his right foot back with all his strength, retracted his waist, abdomen, upper body, hip swing, and thigh with all his strength, and all the power was transmitted to the outer instep of his right foot!
Anguisa only heard a "bang"!
Then all the fans in the stadium, and even the fans watching the game all over the world, heard a loud "bang" through the pickup above the goal!
The ball flew straight towards Meret, then halfway through the flight, it suddenly veered outside and went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
Meret made a side attack and stretched his left hand to the point where he could no longer extend it, but before he could finish his save, the ball had already blasted into the goal!
"yeah!!!"
The opening was like being hit by a sap, and the Olympic Stadium in Rome suddenly roared like a mountain roaring and a tsunami!
Mourinho was so nervous that he jumped involuntarily when Chen Xiaoliang hit the ball hard!
Chen Xiaoliang rushed to the corner flag, then bent his knees along with the speed, and dragged out two long tracks on the turf!
All the players on and off the field rushed over!In an instant, he was pressed to the ground!
Osmeen never expected that the other party would steal the limelight before even 10 minutes of his explosive performance!
After his teammates dispersed, Chen Xiaoliang pointed to the turf on the ground facing the fans in the stands!
Lou Yichen: "Xiao Liang's ball seems to have let out a sigh of relief!"
Liu Yue: "Indeed, after the start of the game, Osmeen scored a world wave. The Roma players were obviously a little cautious. It seemed that the pre-match deployment and psychological construction were disrupted."
"Xiao Liang's goal came at the right time, and the score was equalized in the 7th minute. We can even say that the game is really starting at this moment."
Lou Yichen: "Let's see! Naples is ready to kick off again, but this time they didn't choose all 8 players to go up like they did in the opening game!"
"And Xiao Liang went up to defend Osimhen after he kicked off the ball! He prevented Lobotka from passing the ball in the first place!"
Liu Yue: "In Roma's midfield, only Chen Xiaoliang and Christante can compete physically with Osimhen, but the latter's speed is too slow, and Osimhen can easily use his speed to force a breakthrough."
Lou Yichen: "Xiao Liang didn't move an inch, but Osmeen seemed a little annoyed, and deliberately bumped into Xiao Liang with his body! Xiao Liang also slammed back without showing any weakness!"
"The referee Osatu stopped the game! Called the two over and gave a verbal warning!"
"Haha! After Osatu finished speaking, Xiao Liang smiled at Osmeen after the two separated, and he didn't know what he was talking about!"
Soon, a burst of praise appeared in the barrage:
[No. [-] mid laner in Serie A: Welcome to Confrontation Road! 】
Thanks to the senior director of the club [book friend 20180301092815596] for the 2 monthly tickets!
Thanks to the senior director of the club [Haixin 002] for the monthly ticket!
(End of this chapter)
Naples arrived in Rome the day before the match, and at the same time they came, in addition to reporters and scouts from all over the world, there was also a financial statement from Spain.
Despite his preparations, Chen Xiaoliang slightly underestimated the cost of raising a low-level club.
新赛季目前在西协乙第3组联赛18支球队位居第13名的伊比萨岛，职员薪资、球员薪资、5000人的小主场场地维护、训练设施维保、算在一块每周也要花上2万欧元。
There is also the transfer application. According to the current situation and lineup, whether relegation can be confirmed at the end of the season can not be confirmed.

It doesn't matter to the sponsors, as long as the advertisement is shot by Chen Xiaoliang, they don't care who uses the sponsored items.
However, compared to such insignificant things as the sponsorship brought by Chen Xiaoliang to the Ibiza Island Club, a big or small thing happened in Spain as well.

An hour before the game, the starting lists of both sides were released, and Naples' starting lineup was no different from the previous main lineup:
Goalkeeper Meret;
Four defenders Oliveira, Rahmani, Korean central defender Kim Min-jae who has performed well this season, and captain right back Di Lorenzo;
Lobot has a single midfielder, Zelinski is on the left, and Cameroon midfielder Anguisa, who has also opened up this season, is on the right;
Left winger Politano, center Osimhen, right winger Lozano.
Roma's lineup is also full of main players:
goalkeeper Patricio;
Back four Malasia, Gwadiol, Smalling, Celik;
Kristante and Enzo partnered with double midfielders, and Chen Xiaoliang was in front;
Left winger Kwa, right winger Dybala, and central Lu Cesco are at the top.
However, even in the past 6 days, the players watched a lot of opponent videos and materials provided by the coaching staff, and thought they were mentally prepared to play Liverpool, and they were playing at home, but the referee, The moment Roma's old friend Osatou blew the opening whistle, they were still shocked by Naples' crazy move.
Osmeen and Politano stand on both sides of the ball in the center circle. Among the remaining 8 players except the goalkeeper, only two central defenders, Rahmani and Kim Min-jae, stand behind, and the remaining 6 players are all in the midfield. Line up from left to right on the line!
Even the Roma fans couldn't help exclaiming "Oh".
Foti couldn't help asking Mourinho: "Jose? What are they doing?"
Mourinho sneered: "What are you doing? This is not here to protect 1 point, this is clearly here to fight us desperately!"
On the field, Chen Xiaoliang took the initiative to step back, and quickly turned his head to let the two midfielder teammates lean slightly to the side, paying attention to protecting the sides.
Lou Yichen: "Welcome to the focus match of the 11th round of Serie A brought by Penguin Sports. Naples, the leader of the list, will challenge the defending champion Roma, who is only 1 point behind them!"
"What formation is Naples playing here?!"
Just when the commentator was still wondering, Osatu's whistle sounded!
"Beep!"
Hearing the whistle, Osmeen kicked the ball to Rahmani behind him, and then the 8 people standing on the center line all started to rush towards the hinterland of Rome like short-cannon players hearing the sound of the starting gun!
Rahmani made a big pass to his left. The defensive combination there was Dybala, Celik and Enzo on the right in Roma. Chen Xiaoliang quickly retreated to the front of the penalty area, because he knew it was definitely not a blind foot. With Meng's pass, the opponent hit the weakness of the three players on the right side of Rome who are all relatively short.
Sure enough, Zelinski pressed Celik to head the ball, and Lobotka, who ran to him, did not hesitate at all. Before Enzo came up to press the ball, he suddenly transferred the ball to the middle. The ball, Chen Xiaoliang immediately stepped forward to block,
Anguisa also kept the ball, flicked the ball to his right, and sent a diagonal pass into the penalty area!
Osimhen, who was wearing a face protector like a Zorro mask, immediately ran to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, and grabbed the ball from Gwadior who was pressing on him.
The two confronted each other for a while, and Gwadior immediately posted it, followed by Smalling who came to help defend, while Chen Xiaoliang and Enzo had already retreated to the middle of the penalty area.
Osmeen suddenly started and broke through to the bottom line!
Gwadior followed closely, and Osmeen did not flash out of the space where he could break through and get in!
While watching the fight between the two, Chen Xiaoliang kept his eyes on the opponent's player in the middle.
As long as Gwadior does not lose his position for this goal, Osmeen will only have two options: pass back or forcefully sweep the goal!
However, when all the players in Roma and even the players in Naples were thinking this way, Osmeen suddenly stepped on his left foot and raised his right foot during the sprint, and shot a burst at the ball rolling forward!
But his body at this moment is only about 2 meters away from the bottom line!
Patricio, who was already guarding the near post, immediately fell to the ground, but the ball crossed an arc on the lawn and blasted into the goal close to the gap between the near post and his body!
Lou Yichen: "Beautiful! Beautiful!"
"Zero angle shot! Oh my God!"
"In less than 1 minute of the opening of Naples, striker Osmeen, who seemed to be unsealed this season, forced a small-angle shot from a position on the right side of the penalty area close to the bottom line by himself, creating a for Naples. Fantastic start!"
Liu Yue: "Gwadiol has already defended the ball very well, and Patricio's positioning is not a problem at all. Watching the replay, Xiao Liang and Enzo also retreated into the penalty area to help Smalling protect the middle. Roma did not make a mistake in defense, it was entirely Osimhen who used his super physical fitness to dodge a little shooting space and then insisted on grasping it."
Lou Yichen: "Let's see! The old goalkeeper Patricio looks helpless!"
Indeed, as the commentator said, even though Patricio has rich experience, has experienced many big scenes, and has been teammates with Ronaldo for more than ten years in the national team, he has never faced such a situation in a game. Unreasonable shot.
He is like this, not to mention the young Gwadiol, and he couldn't help thinking: "Made! Isn't this guy a hundred times stronger than Lukaku?"
Naples also did not expect such a smooth start. Whether it was the coach or the players, those who covered their mouths, hugged their heads, and shook their heads while walking, all rushed over and hugged Osimhen to celebrate. The only one who seemed calm was The head coach Spalletti just stood there laughing and applauding.
Seeing his old opponent successfully install coins, Mourinho was furious, but he had no choice but to blame the players for this kind of fairy ball.
At 1 minute and 45 seconds, the referee Osatu whistled again, but this time it was Roma who kicked off.
The two sides tested each other for a while in the midfield, and Naples, who had a one-goal lead, still played very actively. From time to time, they would encircle and press Roma's midfield.
Chen Xiaoliang has a very obvious feeling, that is, he hasn't seen him for half a year, and this team has "raised the ball" a lot.
In addition to Osmeen, Anguisa, who had fought against him forcibly in speed and confrontation last season, has also calmed down a lot. He no longer acts impulsively, but concentrates on cooperating with his teammates to attack the weakest area of Rome - counterattack Smalling Behind him, positional warfare was fought on the left.
For a while, Dybala seemed to be a right back, and Celik was so pressed that he couldn't even get out of the penalty area.
It's not that Chen Xiaoliang never thought of going to help, but as long as he goes to the right to help defend, Naples will hit the ball to the left to find Osimhen.
In terms of single defense, Gwadiol is not at a disadvantage at all, but the fairy zero-degree kick at the beginning made the Roma players have lingering fears. As long as they see the opponent looking for Osimhen, they will become extra vigilant and restrained.
There is only one Chen Xiaoliang, even if he can run, he can only appear in one place on the field at a time.
Seeing that Osmeen and Lozano made Roma's left side afraid to press easily, Chen Xiaoliang simply decided to change lanes and pick the toughest bones of his opponents.
In the 6th minute, Di Lorenzo launched an attack from the right. While Chen Xiaoliang retreated, he reached out to let Kwa, who was about to return to the defense, stay in the frontcourt.
Kewa has always been unconditionally convinced of the captain who is 3 years younger than himself on the field.
Seeing that there was no defensive pressure, Di Lorenzo continued to dribble forward. In the end, Malaysia let go of Lozano and went up.
Lozano cut to the middle, pretending to attack the middle, Chen Xiaoliang deliberately ran a few steps with him.
Sure enough, the left side was empty, and Osmeen immediately came out of the penalty area to ask for the ball, and Di Lorenzo immediately sent it straight to the ribs of the penalty area.
Gwadiol didn't come out of the penalty area. Osmeen was about to easily catch the ball and enter the penalty area when he felt someone sticking up from the left back. He turned his head and saw that it was Chen Xiaoliang. He immediately entered a highly concentrated Fighting state!
Looking at all the powerhouses in Serie A, which striker doesn't want to single out the captain of Roma, who started out as a defender?
Osmeen doesn’t dangle with opponents like Chiesa. He is of Nigerian descent and is at the golden age of 24. He has always been conceited in his physical fitness. Whether it is speed or explosiveness, his confidence has improved this season. After that, he ate the opponent's defender raw in several games.
Seeing that Chen Xiaoliang wanted to fight himself, he just wanted it!
The two were like this, defending on the left and attacking on the right. At the same time, they chased the through ball passed by Di Lorenzo, and squeezed each other out forcefully while chasing.
This kind of one-half ball, no one has the possession of the ball. As long as there is no obvious pushing action in the hand, the confrontation during running is completely in accordance with the rules.
Once, twice, the two of them ran slower and slower, and the direction of their force seemed to change from the ball in front to the opponent on the side.
Three times, four times, every time they collided, the two of them were secretly surprised!
Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself: "Fuck, what did this black skin eat to grow up! He's much stronger than last season! If it weren't for my good at close defense skills, my strength, balance and explosiveness alone, I probably wouldn't be able to last two years. It will be pushed away!"
Osmeen thought: "What's the matter with this Asian? I can't stand him?! What's more, I bumped his shoulder with my shoulder, but he elbowed my waist and eyes! Damn, my waist is covered It's numb!"
Seeing the ball going down, the two of them couldn't tell who would be the first to touch it, and they both hit the ball within a short distance.
Osmeen pushed Chen Xiaoliang's right shoulder with his left hand, and Chen Xiaoliang pushed between the two ribs on Osmeen's left side with his right hand.
The two wobbled, fell to the sides, and then looked back at the lineman at the same time. Seeing that the lineman didn't respond with half a dime, they were about to get up when Gwadiol, who had been defending for a while, came up with a big foot. Just kick the ball to the frontcourt!
"Foul! Referee, he poked me!" Osimhen yelled at the line referee, who ignored him at all.
And Chen Xiaoliang got up early and rushed to the front field at full speed!
While running, I really wanted to turn around and shout at Gwadior: "You are such a genius!"
Gwadiol really noticed that the captain, who usually slides and shovels during training, actually sees the ball enter the range of tackles, and even pushes Osmeen down when he can destroy it out of bounds. Allow yourself space to go up and clear.
And there, their left winger Kwa is waiting!
As Di Lorenzo jogged back to his own half, he looked up at the ball flying above him. When his eyes fell on the horizon, he realized that a red number 77 was catching the ball in his defense zone and rushed towards him. restricted area!
"Not good! No wonder I was given the green light all the way to organize an attack. It turned out to be waiting for me here!"
Even if he understood it now, it was already too late.
Facing South Korean central defender Kim Min-jae, Kewa didn't stick close to him at all, and directly used his speed to rush to the bottom line and forcibly wiped into the penalty area!
Dybala and Sesco both rushed into the penalty area, but another Naples central defender Rahmani, left back Oliveira, midfielder Lobotka and Zelinski also followed up the penalty area!
Kewa looked up, there was no room to pass the ball in the penalty area, and he was close to the baseline, even if he wanted to try Osmeen's zero-degree shot just now, there was really no angle.
What's more, in the fairy ball, you can get in if you want to?
Kewa was slowing down on the left side of the penalty area and was about to adjust his rhythm to see if the opponent's defense would show any gaps. He saw a familiar blood-red figure on the right side of his field of vision running fast towards the penalty area, and raised his left hand in front of the penalty area. Call yourself a pass!
Seeing that Jin Minzai, who was turning around and chasing back, was about to approach him, and Rahmani was about to block him again, Kwa kicked his left foot and passed to the outside of the arc top of the penalty area!
This ball must be scored!Get in at all costs!
Only an equally explosive shot can offset the shadow of being caught off guard by Osimhen's fairy ball just now in the hearts of his teammates!
[Peak Mateus mid-range long-range attribute card has been used]
[Effect: Long shot 20]
[Incidental skill: Good at long-distance shooting]
[Incidental skill: good at powerful shooting]
Chen Xiaoliang doesn't want the other ones. With Kwa's tacit understanding value bonus, his own long-range shooting attribute of 18 can also pile up to 20 in a short period of seconds, but what Chen Xiaoliang wants is to be good at shooting vigorously!
He ran to a place about 5 meters outside the top of the penalty area, and the ball landed just right in front of him and bounced - it bounced to a perfect height!
Chen Xiaoliang began to adjust his steps in small steps!
Anguisa in the restricted area realized something was wrong, it was obvious that the praying mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole were behind him, so he rushed towards Chen Xiaoliang.
Knowing that his physical body was about to face a powerful bombardment like a cannonball, he clenched his teeth, held his breath, and flew sideways to block the long-range shot.
Good at long range... good at long range...
In an instant, countless legendary long-range shooting scenes flashed in Chen Xiaoliang's mind.
But in a trance, the most familiar figure freezes in front of his eyes!
Who else knows himself better than him? !Who else is more familiar with him than himself? !
Chen Xiaoliang swung his right foot back with all his strength, retracted his waist, abdomen, upper body, hip swing, and thigh with all his strength, and all the power was transmitted to the outer instep of his right foot!
Anguisa only heard a "bang"!
Then all the fans in the stadium, and even the fans watching the game all over the world, heard a loud "bang" through the pickup above the goal!
The ball flew straight towards Meret, then halfway through the flight, it suddenly veered outside and went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
Meret made a side attack and stretched his left hand to the point where he could no longer extend it, but before he could finish his save, the ball had already blasted into the goal!
"yeah!!!"
The opening was like being hit by a sap, and the Olympic Stadium in Rome suddenly roared like a mountain roaring and a tsunami!
Mourinho was so nervous that he jumped involuntarily when Chen Xiaoliang hit the ball hard!
Chen Xiaoliang rushed to the corner flag, then bent his knees along with the speed, and dragged out two long tracks on the turf!
All the players on and off the field rushed over!In an instant, he was pressed to the ground!
Osmeen never expected that the other party would steal the limelight before even 10 minutes of his explosive performance!
After his teammates dispersed, Chen Xiaoliang pointed to the turf on the ground facing the fans in the stands!
Lou Yichen: "Xiao Liang's ball seems to have let out a sigh of relief!"
Liu Yue: "Indeed, after the start of the game, Osmeen scored a world wave. The Roma players were obviously a little cautious. It seemed that the pre-match deployment and psychological construction were disrupted."
"Xiao Liang's goal came at the right time, and the score was equalized in the 7th minute. We can even say that the game is really starting at this moment."
Lou Yichen: "Let's see! Naples is ready to kick off again, but this time they didn't choose all 8 players to go up like they did in the opening game!"
"And Xiao Liang went up to defend Osimhen after he kicked off the ball! He prevented Lobotka from passing the ball in the first place!"
Liu Yue: "In Roma's midfield, only Chen Xiaoliang and Christante can compete physically with Osimhen, but the latter's speed is too slow, and Osimhen can easily use his speed to force a breakthrough."
Lou Yichen: "Xiao Liang didn't move an inch, but Osmeen seemed a little annoyed, and deliberately bumped into Xiao Liang with his body! Xiao Liang also slammed back without showing any weakness!"
"The referee Osatu stopped the game! Called the two over and gave a verbal warning!"
"Haha! After Osatu finished speaking, Xiao Liang smiled at Osmeen after the two separated, and he didn't know what he was talking about!"
Soon, a burst of praise appeared in the barrage:
