Chapter 293 I'm Sorry, I'm a Midfielder
The goal that Naples conceded just now was purely their own fault.
After the kick-off in the middle circle of Roma, Naples' central and frontcourt players rushed up blindly, and Osmeen grabbed Patricio's feet all the way.
Forget it for the forwards, but the two central midfielders went up to press irrationally, and the backcourt did not move forward properly to press, resulting in a huge vacuum in the midfield.
However, Rome is really in danger. If Naples really steals the ball, they will not be celebrating now.
After failing to grab the start, the opponent robbed the start. After the Naples players kicked off in the middle circle, they began to launch waves of charge-style attacks.
And Roma also returned to the typical Mourinho style, shrinking the defense significantly and starting to fight back.
Don't look at Roma setting up the bus, their counterattack is unambiguous at all, the second half of the game is more exciting than the first half, and the scene is even more exciting.
According to the two resident commentators of Sky Sports Italy, Del Piero and Chiellini (similar to Gary Neville and Carragher of Sky Sports in the UK), the two teams on the field at this time represent Italy. The sharpest spear and the hardest shield.
Naples' offense is not like the top three in the north, as long as they take the initiative, they are used to improving the possession rate.
Their offensive style is just like Osimhen's personal style, simple, clear, and even rough.
If there is space on the side, then cross, the central midfielder and the center will fight for the top together.
If there is a route in the middle, then go straight, the winger is the center forward, and the inside receives the penalty area and hits the opponent's back against offside.
Never pass from left to right or from right to left outside the opponent's penalty area.
Possession without a shot is meaningless.
After the attack is over, regardless of whether Rome kicks off the goal kick or a normal offensive and defensive transition, Naples will definitely launch a press on the spot and retreat at a high speed.
To put it bluntly, it is the running and bombing tactics on the football field.
Spalletti, who is getting older and more demonic, is not lucky to be a wealthy man. He did not have any outstanding achievements in coaching Inter Milan. Instead, he won the Coppa Italia for two consecutive seasons when he was coaching Roma. Zenit St. Petersburg has won two Russian Super League titles.
But since he came to Naples, he has the momentum to make this old team with the number of fans in Italy surpassing Rome, second only to the top three in the north, and become the fourth richest team.
Although at this point, Roma's great success last season brought them to the front, but no one can deny that Naples is now better than the top three in the north, and it is almost the most difficult for Roma to defend their title in Serie A this season. team.
With the two sides on the field at this time, it almost became a large-scale switchback demonstration.
In the 52nd minute, Lozano cut in from the right in front of the penalty area and shot was blocked by Enzo with his body. Then Chen Xiaoliang, who received the ball, gave it to Kwa who inserted from the left, and Naples immediately entered a defensive formation.
The right forward Anguisa stepped forward to block, while the right back Di Lorenzo frantically retreated from Rome's half-court under the delay of his teammates, and the rest of the midfielders did the same.
And Lozano, who just finished shooting, is also desperately rushing towards Kewa.
In modern football, defense is no longer the full-time of defenders. It is common for wingers to retreat to help defense, especially many well-known head coaches, such as Guardiola, Klopp, and Ten Ha, who is fighting against Ronaldo at Manchester United. Hey, when choosing a winger, defensive ability and defensive enthusiasm will be placed in a very important position.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" clearly pointed out 2500 years ago that "ten can surround it, five can attack it, double it can divide it, and the enemy can fight it."
In football, when the total number of players on both sides is 11, how to form a local area with the ball to play more and play less is a direct reflection of the tactical level of a head coach.
After all, there are too few players like Messi who can pick several players by himself.
Facing Anguisa's defense, Kwa passed back to Chen Xiaoliang and made a two-for-one cooperation with him.
Anguisa also regarded Chen Xiaoliang as the first defensive focus in his heart, so when Kova returned the pass, he rushed to Chen Xiaoliang without hesitation, which also made Kova, who received the ball again after two passes, face Di Lorenzo directly.
Kwa, who had done Ashraf and killed Arnold, humiliated Di Lorenzo well today. In a one-on-one situation, he has absolute confidence.
For defensive players, players like Kwa who can pass with both left and right feet, can pass, and can shoot are the most difficult to defend.
To prevent him from going inside, he can pass from the bottom with his left foot. To prevent him from going outside, he can cut inside and shoot with his right foot. Di Lorenzo has nothing to do with him.
Kewa is another iconic feint, pause and change of direction. Using his skilled rhythm control, he cleanly left Di Lorenzo behind and went straight to the penalty area.
But before he could make the next move, Lobotka and Kim Min-jae, who had returned to defense, came over to close the door and double-team him.
And there are already several Naples players around who are back in place.
Kwa is one against two, and there is no way to kick for a while.
Jin Minzai immediately came up to press and squeezed Kwa hard with his body, while Lobotka took the opportunity to steal.
Kwa had to forcefully try to wear Lobotka's crotch and pass the ball to Sesco, but Rahmani went to Sesco and broke the ball again.
Rahmani made a long pass directly!
Osimhen, who was waiting for an opportunity in the frontcourt, quickly started running towards the landing point, but Enzo, who was defending that area, was closer to the first landing point.
However, Osmeen abruptly used his speed and jumping to grab the ball to Politano on the left before Enzo.
At this time, it was Roma's turn to retreat and defend across the board. After receiving the ball, Politano pushed the ball towards the center, and sent the ball back to Osimhen, who was in the front.
When confronting this kind of forward whose muscles, strength, and speed are far superior to his own, Enzo's physical shortcomings are exposed. Although his playing style is very strong, his mental strength is not enough to make up for his innate insufficiency .
Osmeen had no teammates in front of him at this time. While blocking Enzo who was harassing him with his body and right hand, he cut inward to the middle, and then completed a kick before Kristante and Smalling double-teamed him. A powerful shot near the top of the arc!
Patricio said nothing to let Osimhen score a hat-trick when he faced himself. Fortunately, most of the shot route of this ball has been blocked by his teammates. Although the ball has some arcs, he still throws it to the right. Come out, hold your hands firmly.
In less than 1 minute, the two sides completed 3 offensive and defensive transitions, all of which directly attacked the opponent's hinterland after receiving the ball. The fast pace made the commentators, audience, fans and coaches of both sides very addicted!
There is even a bullet screen that says "you can breathe while watching a football game", expressing the intensity of the confrontation that makes people hold their breath.
At this time, in the VIP box on the second floor of the stands, Naples owner De Laurentiis was watching the game with an old man Chen Xiaoliang knew well.
Of course, this was hosted by Roma owner Dan Friedkin.
He didn't want to mess with this old man, nor could he afford to.
It was the godfather sitting in the electric wheelchair.
Aurelio De Laurentiis can be said to be the most topical in Italian football after the former chairman of AC Milan, who was elected as the official Italian speaker four times in 1994, 2001, 2005, and 2008 club owner.
As the most famous film company owner on the planet, De Laurentiis often uses controversial topics and explosive remarks to market himself and attract traffic to Naples.
His grandfather, Dino De Laurentiis, was a leading figure in European and American film circles. He participated in the production of more than 500 films in his lifetime, 38 of which were nominated for Oscars.
And Aurelio De Laurentiis inherited his uncle's mantle, and has also made classic movies such as "This Killer Is Not So Cold" and "Shut Your Teeth", and has a very deep relationship with European film circles and Hollywood. connect.
But he has scolded FIFA, criticized UEFA, ridiculed Juventus twice in three days, and also ridiculed Higuain, Sarri, Ancelotti, Donadoni and many others for money. De Laurentiis, a player who plays in the Chinese Super League, is very peaceful when he sees the godfather.
There is no way these days, no matter how sharp the mouth is, it is not as lethal as a pistol.
But on this planet, no matter where you go, there is no distinction between style and style, and both styles bloom.
De Laurentiis, who bought him after Naples went bankrupt, certainly knew this, and the Godfather was one of the main producers of his films.
As the head of the Mafia in Sicily, Maradona had already loved the godfather of football when he came to the Naples club more than 30 years ago, and he still loves this world's number one sport that is increasingly manipulated by capital when he gets old.
Living in the suburbs of Rome, the reason why he invited De Laurentiis to come to Rome today is also very simple. He wants to take a stake in the club and further the cooperation between the two, but the condition is also very simple, that is, Naples has to buy Chen Xiaoliang.
For De Laurentiis, this is simply off the charts. He thought to himself, I don’t want to buy, I also want to buy Harland, Mbappe, Messi, De Jong, Rudiger, etc. Wait, wait, the problem is that even if I want to buy it, the price can't afford it.
But the condition of the godfather is also very attractive.
As a filmmaker, he particularly likes a scene in a certain movie:
The bandit's pistol, this one, can it make money?
Can earn, Shan Li.
The official seal of the county magistrate, this, can it make money?
Can earn, kneel.
Then this plus this, can you make money standing up?
The Godfather obviously has this ability.
Ever since the godfather cooperated with him to make a movie, there are basically no actors he can't get a date with, and even his actors have encountered some negative news. At least in Italy, people from the godfather have come forward to invite journalists who write news to have a cup of espresso Afterwards, the news is quickly taken down by the media.
De Laurentiis has no illusions that Serie A can reach the level of profitability of the Premier League, but he is willing to spend money on the club, but he very much hopes that Naples can replace the top three in the north and represent Serie A in the European arena.
Originally, he thought it was difficult to achieve this, and it would take at least three to five years to cultivate capable players, and then spend money to buy some future stars.
But Roma's great success last season made him realize that he doesn't need to spend a lot of money to buy "some" people. He only needs to spend a sum of money to buy Chen Xiaoliang alone, and then match Naples' current lineup, not to mention the Champions League. , at least everything can be equalized in Serie A.
Although he had already seen Chen Xiaoliang's performance at the Maradona Stadium in Naples, he was still shocked by the Rome football market and the scene atmosphere driven by this Red Countryman at Rome's home court today.
The godfather looked at the pensive De Laurentiis, and said a word at the right time:
"After 30 years, for Italy, there is finally another genius like Maradona."
"He chose Naples 30 years ago, why not 30 years later?"
De Laurentiis was persuaded, and he turned back to instruct his subordinates, and began to secretly ask Rome for a transfer price.
On the field, the players don't know what's going on inside those top-brand clothing wrapped in the box. Their idea is very simple, to defeat the opponent.
In the 59th minute, after several rounds of hand-to-hand combat in the midfield, the two sides were still unable to penetrate the opponent's retreat defense at all costs.
As for Chen Xiaoliang's defense, Spalletti also made adjustments in the second half. He did not expect that Chen Xiaoliang's original dribbling ability had improved by leaps and bounds, and his already excellent long-range shooting level had reached the point where he might lose his defense. The horror of losing the ball.
Instead of double-teaming after he catches the ball, it is better to prevent it before it happens and minimize the number of times Chen Xiaoliang catches the ball.
If he can't catch the ball, he will naturally be unable to attack, nor can he organize his teammates to attack.
As a result, the four players Anguisa, Zelinski, Lobotka, and Osmeen are like four planets around a star, one left, one right, one front and one back, always relying on non-stop off-the-ball Run to block the passing route of teammates to Chen Xiaoliang.
Roma, which mainly plays a 4-2-3-1 single central midfielder formation, once Chen Xiaoliang cannot organize an attack smoothly, he can only cling to the side and push hard, or transfer to the position of the midfielder to switch sides.
The recent central midfielder’s transfer path has been cut off. Instead, pass it back to the midfielder to transfer and organize. This is like driving on the road. It is an obvious detour, and it will also increase the distance and difficulty for the winger to get the ball. .
But Chen Xiaoliang was not in a hurry, he kept encouraging his teammates with tactical gestures of waving his hands in defense.
Because he has an advantage over nobody.
If you want to prevent him from catching the ball, you have to run with him non-stop. Whether it is one person coming up to defend with the close-fitting brown sugar, or four people as a whole to double-team, you must rely on physical strength to support it.
As for physical strength, who in this world can compete with him?
Stamina Recovery Card 4 → 3
In the 60th minute, Chen Xiaoliang, who was revived with full blood, began his continuous movement in the midfield.
In the 63rd minute, Lozano made a pass from the right, and Osmeen headed forward to attack the goal. Under Gwadior's tight marking, the ball went straight out of the baseline.
In the 70th minute, Lobotka made a long pass. Osmeen leaned on Christante to catch the ball, and then pushed back to Zelinski who was in the middle. The latter's long shot was first blocked by Chen Xiaoliang's sliding tackle , and then after Politano on the left recovered the ball, he crossed it to Anguiza.
Anguisa made another long shot, but the ball was not held down, and it went straight high.
Naples attacked wave after wave, while Roma defended again and again. The difference in the number of shots between the two sides widened.
Spalletti is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Chen Xiaoliang's nickname of "nuclear midfielder" is no longer a joke that is only circulated among fans. The coaching staff of Naples also found that Roma is very good at taking advantage of the decline in the opponent's physical strength at the end of the second half. At the same time, rely on Chen Xiaoliang's endless physical strength to achieve goals with speed or confrontation.
He directly replaced two central midfielders, replaced North Macedonian midfielder Elmas and French midfielder Ndombele, and replaced Anguisa and Zelinski.
Black for black, white for white, in a trance, it seems to give people an illusion that they have changed but not changed.
Although two full-strength players were replaced among the four double-teamers, this was enough for Chen Xiaoliang.
Osimhen, who had consumed too much physical strength in the close confrontation with Gwadiol, obviously began to reserve strength in defense. After all, Naples had to rely on his offensive ability if they wanted to equalize the score or even turn the defeat into victory.
And Lobotka, who has a single midfielder, was tortured by Chen Xiaoliang, and he had to help Di Lorenzo defend against the overwhelming Kwa again and again. At this time, he was really exhausted.
Although two of them were half useless, there were still two full of energy left, but Chen Xiaoliang adopted a very simple countermeasure, which was to pull the side.
Pull to the farthest pull edge.
Compared with the activeness of Kewa on the left, Dybala, who seemed a little helpless without Chen Xiaoliang's support, was much dull in the second half, completely missing the highlight performance of scoring twice 50 minutes ago.
Among the two midfielders who came on the field, Elmas, who is 182 and 68 kg tall, is a more technical midfielder. His position inherits Zelinsky and is the central midfielder in charge of the left half.
With his speed and confrontation ability, even with full physical strength, he is not Chen Xiaoliang's opponent.
And once pulled to the right, it is impossible for Ndombele on the other side to cross half the court and leave his side to stare at him. If he does this, then Naples' Salono and Dilo on the right Renzo is going to scold his mother.
Well, do Elmas!
As soon as he said it, Chen Xiaoliang pulled the sideline directly. The teammates saw that the boss was coming, of course they knew that he was not here to go shopping. The die-hard fan Cesco retreated from the frontcourt, received Enzo's direct pass, and then knocked back. To the right to the captain's feet.
Elmas, who was supposed to be on the right side of Chen Xiaoliang in defense, can only help Oliveira defend on the left side of Chen Xiaoliang.
Side defense?
The frontal defense can't be defended, and the side defense has a ball.
Spalletti was also annoyed. He looked at Mourinho who also stood up and walked to the sidelines on the other side, and thought that you didn't play according to the routine. If the ball is lost, the midfield will be empty.
Mourinho is in a different mood.
What are you afraid of?Lost the midfield position, this kid can run back to make up for it every minute, anyway, his physical strength seems to never run out.
Roma changed quickly, and Dybala left the right side to the middle with a heart, which is his favorite midfielder position, and the corridor on the right was completely given over to Chen Xiaoliang.
With the help of Elmas, Oliveira always kept a distance of more than 3 meters from Chen Xiaoliang, who was advancing with the ball, in order to prevent his explosive passing.
This is the key point mentioned by the coaching staff on the whiteboard before the game.
We don't care if you advance slowly, as long as the teammates in the middle stand in position, the two of them can shrink the encirclement and try to destroy Chen Xiaoliang's possession of the ball, but they must not let you break through behind casually.
Seeing that the route of the explosion was cut off, Oliveira was still on his side, and there was no possibility of piercing his crotch, so Chen Xiaoliang changed to a new method that no one had seen before.
He made a long pass with his right foot, slightly stretched out his left hand to block Elmas who was trying to press him, and then rubbed his right foot on the bottom of the ball.
But Oliveira is more than three meters away from him, and the ball will not be blocked by him when it is not flying high from the ground.
Then, the scene that Roma fans have seen many times, the ball flew behind Oliveira, and then Chen Xiaoliang, in Oliveira's frightened eyes, passed him like a hot wheel !
If the ground doesn't work, I'll go to the sky!
Where the ball can go, so can I, Chen Xiaoliang!
Seeing this scene, Spalletti couldn't help scolding Cao Dan. Tamade, a red countryman, is so, and Mourinho didn't let him play as a winger?
Chen Xiaoliang seemed to hear it, he laughed in his heart, who played winger with you, after receiving the ball, he turned directly to the middle of the penalty area and inserted diagonally!
For a player attacking with the ball, the greater the space, the greater the threat!
And the rib area on the left and right sides is always the most easily overlooked area in the defensive formation!
In the back four, the ribs are between the center back and the full back on one side.
Among the three backs, the ribs are in the middle of the center back and one side of the back.
Among the double midfielders, the ribs belong to the area where one midfielder defends alone and the other midfielder will not come to help defend.
If there is a single midfielder formation like today's Naples, then the ribs are even more so if the single midfielder looks at one side, and can't take care of the Achilles heel on the other side!
This is why Dybala came to the midfielder position ahead of time with a tacit understanding. How could Lobotka move ahead of time to intercept Chen Xiaoliang when he stood there? Once he left, Dybala would become nothing. The state of the defense facing the penalty area.
No matter how threatening Chen Xiaoliang is, no team dares to ignore the existence of a player of Dybala's level!
Just like that, Chen Xiaoliang was about to enter the penalty area from the right rib with sparks and lightning all the way. Oliveira and Elmas behind him didn't even have a share of ashes, and Cesco and Kwa all pulled to the far post. The area activities on one side give up all the space near the goal post to make room for the captain.
Dybala wandered in the middle, seducing central defender Kim Min-jae and Lobotka.
Seeing that he was about to become single-handed if he didn't guard against it, Jin Minzai rushed over!Block the inside line first, and then try to get close!
The Korean can succeed in Serie A, in addition to his excellent personal defensive ability, it is the mental quality of perseverance.
He didn't want to be continuously suppressed by Chen Xiaoliang, who was also Asian.
Seeing him approaching, Chen Xiaoliang hooked his right foot and passed the ball to Dybala who was in the arc top of the penalty area on his left.
Jin Minzai, Lobotka, and all the defensive players in the Naples penalty area involuntarily looked at the Argentine little magic fairy!
He has a super shooting ability!
This momentary shift of eyes has given Dybala enough time to pass the ball back to the right, straight behind Jin Minzai!
Chen Xiaoliang and him completed a two over one on the penalty area line!
No matter how hard the Koreans try and work hard, it is impossible for them to catch up with Chen Xiaoliang who is sprinting forward after turning around.
Penalty to the right!
45-degree angle!
Here comes the ball!
Chen Xiaoliang kicked directly!
No pass this time, the goal is the goal!
Although his explosiveness and strength are not top-notch, but with his already good shooting ability, the power of shooting at this distance still exceeds most players.
Now there is only one question before Meret, where is this Red Countryman going to play?
Is near angle?Or the far corner?
Chen Xiaoliang glanced at the far corner!
That's right, the far corner with a wider angle and more space is the striker's favorite!
Lou Yichen: "Xiao Liang! One-handed ball! Hit!"
"pretty!!!"
"He blasted Meret over the head, a close corner!"
"Meret's center of gravity was completely deceived, thinking that Chen Xiaoliang was going to kick the far corner!"
Liu Yue: "The replay shows very clearly that before the shot just now, Xiao Liang obviously made a deceiving movement of his eyes. He glanced in the direction of the far post. It should be this one that deceived Meret."
4 is better than 2!
The game has come to the final stage, which means that Rome has basically won the game!
After celebrating wildly with his teammates and fans in the stands, Chen Xiaoliang looked back at the disappointed Meret.
Yes, the far corner is indeed the striker's favorite.
But who made me a midfielder?
Thank you for your monthly pass!
(End of this chapter)
The goal that Naples conceded just now was purely their own fault.
After the kick-off in the middle circle of Roma, Naples' central and frontcourt players rushed up blindly, and Osmeen grabbed Patricio's feet all the way.
Forget it for the forwards, but the two central midfielders went up to press irrationally, and the backcourt did not move forward properly to press, resulting in a huge vacuum in the midfield.
However, Rome is really in danger. If Naples really steals the ball, they will not be celebrating now.
After failing to grab the start, the opponent robbed the start. After the Naples players kicked off in the middle circle, they began to launch waves of charge-style attacks.
And Roma also returned to the typical Mourinho style, shrinking the defense significantly and starting to fight back.
Don't look at Roma setting up the bus, their counterattack is unambiguous at all, the second half of the game is more exciting than the first half, and the scene is even more exciting.
According to the two resident commentators of Sky Sports Italy, Del Piero and Chiellini (similar to Gary Neville and Carragher of Sky Sports in the UK), the two teams on the field at this time represent Italy. The sharpest spear and the hardest shield.
Naples' offense is not like the top three in the north, as long as they take the initiative, they are used to improving the possession rate.

Never pass from left to right or from right to left outside the opponent's penalty area.

To put it bluntly, it is the running and bombing tactics on the football field.

Instead, he won the Coppa Italia for two consecutive seasons when he was coaching Roma. Zenit St. Petersburg has won two Russian Super League titles.
But since he came to Naples, he has the momentum to make this old team with the number of fans in Italy surpassing Rome, second only to the top three in the north, and become the fourth richest team.
Although at this point, Roma's great success last season brought them to the front, but no one can deny that Naples is now better than the top three in the north, and it is almost the most difficult for Roma to defend their title in Serie A this season. team.

There is even a bullet screen that says "you can breathe while watching a football game", expressing the intensity of the confrontation that makes people hold their breath.
At this time, in the VIP box on the second floor of the stands, Naples owner De Laurentiis was watching the game with an old man Chen Xiaoliang knew well.
Of course, this was hosted by Roma owner Dan Friedkin.

His grandfather, Dino De Laurentiis, was a leading figure in European and American film circles. He participated in the production of more than 500 films in his lifetime, 38 of which were nominated for Oscars.
And Aurelio De Laurentiis inherited his uncle's mantle, and has also made classic movies such as "This Killer Is Not So Cold" and "Shut Your Teeth", and has a very deep relationship with European film circles and Hollywood. connect.
But he has scolded FIFA, criticized UEFA, ridiculed Juventus twice in three days, and also ridiculed Higuain, Sarri, Ancelotti, Donadoni and many others for money. De Laurentiis, a player who plays in the Chinese Super League, is very peaceful when he sees the godfather.

For De Laurentiis, this is simply off the charts. He thought to himself, I don’t want to buy, I also want to buy Harland, Mbappe, Messi, De Jong, Rudiger, etc. Wait, wait, the problem is that even if I want to buy it, the price can't afford it.
But the condition of the godfather is also very attractive.
As a filmmaker, he particularly likes a scene in a certain movie:
The bandit's pistol, this one, can it make money?
Can earn, Shan Li.
The official seal of the county magistrate, this, can it make money?
Can earn, kneel.
Then this plus this, can you make money standing up?
The Godfather obviously has this ability.
Ever since the godfather cooperated with him to make a movie, there are basically no actors he can't get a date with, and even his actors have encountered some negative news. At least in Italy, people from the godfather have come forward to invite journalists who write news to have a cup of espresso Afterwards, the news is quickly taken down by the media.
De Laurentiis has no illusions that Serie A can reach the level of profitability of the Premier League, but he is willing to spend money on the club, but he very much hopes that Naples can replace the top three in the north and represent Serie A in the European arena.
Originally, he thought it was difficult to achieve this, and it would take at least three to five years to cultivate capable players, and then spend money to buy some future stars.
But Roma's great success last season made him realize that he doesn't need to spend a lot of money to buy "some" people. He only needs to spend a sum of money to buy Chen Xiaoliang alone, and then match Naples' current lineup, not to mention the Champions League. , at least everything can be equalized in Serie A.
Although he had already seen Chen Xiaoliang's performance at the Maradona Stadium in Naples, he was still shocked by the Rome football market and the scene atmosphere driven by this Red Countryman at Rome's home court today.
The godfather looked at the pensive De Laurentiis, and said a word at the right time:
"After 30 years, for Italy, there is finally another genius like Maradona."
"He chose Naples 30 years ago, why not 30 years later?"
De Laurentiis was persuaded, and he turned back to instruct his subordinates, and began to secretly ask Rome for a transfer price.
On the field, the players don't know what's going on inside those top-brand clothing wrapped in the box. Their idea is very simple, to defeat the opponent.
In the 59th minute, after several rounds of hand-to-hand combat in the midfield, the two sides were still unable to penetrate the opponent's retreat defense at all costs.
As for Chen Xiaoliang's defense, Spalletti also made adjustments in the second half. He did not expect that Chen Xiaoliang's original dribbling ability had improved by leaps and bounds, and his already excellent long-range shooting level had reached the point where he might lose his defense. The horror of losing the ball.
Instead of double-teaming after he catches the ball, it is better to prevent it before it happens and minimize the number of times Chen Xiaoliang catches the ball.
If he can't catch the ball, he will naturally be unable to attack, nor can he organize his teammates to attack.
As a result, the four players Anguisa, Zelinski, Lobotka, and Osmeen are like four planets around a star, one left, one right, one front and one back, always relying on non-stop off-the-ball Run to block the passing route of teammates to Chen Xiaoliang.
Roma, which mainly plays a 4-2-3-1 single central midfielder formation, once Chen Xiaoliang cannot organize an attack smoothly, he can only cling to the side and push hard, or transfer to the position of the midfielder to switch sides.
The recent central midfielder’s transfer path has been cut off. Instead, pass it back to the midfielder to transfer and organize. This is like driving on the road. It is an obvious detour, and it will also increase the distance and difficulty for the winger to get the ball. .
But Chen Xiaoliang was not in a hurry, he kept encouraging his teammates with tactical gestures of waving his hands in defense.
Because he has an advantage over nobody.
If you want to prevent him from catching the ball, you have to run with him non-stop. Whether it is one person coming up to defend with the close-fitting brown sugar, or four people as a whole to double-team, you must rely on physical strength to support it.
As for physical strength, who in this world can compete with him?
Stamina Recovery Card 4 → 3
In the 60th minute, Chen Xiaoliang, who was revived with full blood, began his continuous movement in the midfield.
In the 63rd minute, Lozano made a pass from the right, and Osmeen headed forward to attack the goal. Under Gwadior's tight marking, the ball went straight out of the baseline.
In the 70th minute, Lobotka made a long pass. Osmeen leaned on Christante to catch the ball, and then pushed back to Zelinski who was in the middle. The latter's long shot was first blocked by Chen Xiaoliang's sliding tackle , and then after Politano on the left recovered the ball, he crossed it to Anguiza.
Anguisa made another long shot, but the ball was not held down, and it went straight high.
Naples attacked wave after wave, while Roma defended again and again. The difference in the number of shots between the two sides widened.
Spalletti is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Chen Xiaoliang's nickname of "nuclear midfielder" is no longer a joke that is only circulated among fans. The coaching staff of Naples also found that Roma is very good at taking advantage of the decline in the opponent's physical strength at the end of the second half. At the same time, rely on Chen Xiaoliang's endless physical strength to achieve goals with speed or confrontation.
He directly replaced two central midfielders, replaced North Macedonian midfielder Elmas and French midfielder Ndombele, and replaced Anguisa and Zelinski.
Black for black, white for white, in a trance, it seems to give people an illusion that they have changed but not changed.
Although two full-strength players were replaced among the four double-teamers, this was enough for Chen Xiaoliang.
Osimhen, who had consumed too much physical strength in the close confrontation with Gwadiol, obviously began to reserve strength in defense. After all, Naples had to rely on his offensive ability if they wanted to equalize the score or even turn the defeat into victory.
And Lobotka, who has a single midfielder, was tortured by Chen Xiaoliang, and he had to help Di Lorenzo defend against the overwhelming Kwa again and again. At this time, he was really exhausted.
Although two of them were half useless, there were still two full of energy left, but Chen Xiaoliang adopted a very simple countermeasure, which was to pull the side.
Pull to the farthest pull edge.
Compared with the activeness of Kewa on the left, Dybala, who seemed a little helpless without Chen Xiaoliang's support, was much dull in the second half, completely missing the highlight performance of scoring twice 50 minutes ago.
Among the two midfielders who came on the field, Elmas, who is 182 and 68 kg tall, is a more technical midfielder. His position inherits Zelinsky and is the central midfielder in charge of the left half.
With his speed and confrontation ability, even with full physical strength, he is not Chen Xiaoliang's opponent.
And once pulled to the right, it is impossible for Ndombele on the other side to cross half the court and leave his side to stare at him. If he does this, then Naples' Salono and Dilo on the right Renzo is going to scold his mother.
Well, do Elmas!
As soon as he said it, Chen Xiaoliang pulled the sideline directly. The teammates saw that the boss was coming, of course they knew that he was not here to go shopping. The die-hard fan Cesco retreated from the frontcourt, received Enzo's direct pass, and then knocked back. To the right to the captain's feet.
Elmas, who was supposed to be on the right side of Chen Xiaoliang in defense, can only help Oliveira defend on the left side of Chen Xiaoliang.
Side defense?
The frontal defense can't be defended, and the side defense has a ball.
Spalletti was also annoyed. He looked at Mourinho who also stood up and walked to the sidelines on the other side, and thought that you didn't play according to the routine. If the ball is lost, the midfield will be empty.
Mourinho is in a different mood.
What are you afraid of?Lost the midfield position, this kid can run back to make up for it every minute, anyway, his physical strength seems to never run out.
Roma changed quickly, and Dybala left the right side to the middle with a heart, which is his favorite midfielder position, and the corridor on the right was completely given over to Chen Xiaoliang.
With the help of Elmas, Oliveira always kept a distance of more than 3 meters from Chen Xiaoliang, who was advancing with the ball, in order to prevent his explosive passing.
This is the key point mentioned by the coaching staff on the whiteboard before the game.
We don't care if you advance slowly, as long as the teammates in the middle stand in position, the two of them can shrink the encirclement and try to destroy Chen Xiaoliang's possession of the ball, but they must not let you break through behind casually.
Seeing that the route of the explosion was cut off, Oliveira was still on his side, and there was no possibility of piercing his crotch, so Chen Xiaoliang changed to a new method that no one had seen before.
He made a long pass with his right foot, slightly stretched out his left hand to block Elmas who was trying to press him, and then rubbed his right foot on the bottom of the ball.
But Oliveira is more than three meters away from him, and the ball will not be blocked by him when it is not flying high from the ground.
Then, the scene that Roma fans have seen many times, the ball flew behind Oliveira, and then Chen Xiaoliang, in Oliveira's frightened eyes, passed him like a hot wheel !
If the ground doesn't work, I'll go to the sky!
Where the ball can go, so can I, Chen Xiaoliang!
Seeing this scene, Spalletti couldn't help scolding Cao Dan. Tamade, a red countryman, is so, and Mourinho didn't let him play as a winger?
Chen Xiaoliang seemed to hear it, he laughed in his heart, who played winger with you, after receiving the ball, he turned directly to the middle of the penalty area and inserted diagonally!
For a player attacking with the ball, the greater the space, the greater the threat!
And the rib area on the left and right sides is always the most easily overlooked area in the defensive formation!
In the back four, the ribs are between the center back and the full back on one side.
Among the three backs, the ribs are in the middle of the center back and one side of the back.
Among the double midfielders, the ribs belong to the area where one midfielder defends alone and the other midfielder will not come to help defend.
If there is a single midfielder formation like today's Naples, then the ribs are even more so if the single midfielder looks at one side, and can't take care of the Achilles heel on the other side!
This is why Dybala came to the midfielder position ahead of time with a tacit understanding. How could Lobotka move ahead of time to intercept Chen Xiaoliang when he stood there? Once he left, Dybala would become nothing. The state of the defense facing the penalty area.
No matter how threatening Chen Xiaoliang is, no team dares to ignore the existence of a player of Dybala's level!
Just like that, Chen Xiaoliang was about to enter the penalty area from the right rib with sparks and lightning all the way. Oliveira and Elmas behind him didn't even have a share of ashes, and Cesco and Kwa all pulled to the far post. The area activities on one side give up all the space near the goal post to make room for the captain.
Dybala wandered in the middle, seducing central defender Kim Min-jae and Lobotka.
Seeing that he was about to become single-handed if he didn't guard against it, Jin Minzai rushed over!Block the inside line first, and then try to get close!
The Korean can succeed in Serie A, in addition to his excellent personal defensive ability, it is the mental quality of perseverance.
He didn't want to be continuously suppressed by Chen Xiaoliang, who was also Asian.
Seeing him approaching, Chen Xiaoliang hooked his right foot and passed the ball to Dybala who was in the arc top of the penalty area on his left.
Jin Minzai, Lobotka, and all the defensive players in the Naples penalty area involuntarily looked at the Argentine little magic fairy!
He has a super shooting ability!
This momentary shift of eyes has given Dybala enough time to pass the ball back to the right, straight behind Jin Minzai!
Chen Xiaoliang and him completed a two over one on the penalty area line!
No matter how hard the Koreans try and work hard, it is impossible for them to catch up with Chen Xiaoliang who is sprinting forward after turning around.
Penalty to the right!
45-degree angle!
Here comes the ball!
Chen Xiaoliang kicked directly!
No pass this time, the goal is the goal!
Although his explosiveness and strength are not top-notch, but with his already good shooting ability, the power of shooting at this distance still exceeds most players.
Now there is only one question before Meret, where is this Red Countryman going to play?
Is near angle?Or the far corner?
Chen Xiaoliang glanced at the far corner!
That's right, the far corner with a wider angle and more space is the striker's favorite!
Lou Yichen: "Xiao Liang! One-handed ball! Hit!"
"pretty!!!"
"He blasted Meret over the head, a close corner!"
"Meret's center of gravity was completely deceived, thinking that Chen Xiaoliang was going to kick the far corner!"
Liu Yue: "The replay shows very clearly that before the shot just now, Xiao Liang obviously made a deceiving movement of his eyes. He glanced in the direction of the far post. It should be this one that deceived Meret."
4 is better than 2!
The game has come to the final stage, which means that Rome has basically won the game!
After celebrating wildly with his teammates and fans in the stands, Chen Xiaoliang looked back at the disappointed Meret.
Yes, the far corner is indeed the striker's favorite.
But who made me a midfielder?
Thank you for your monthly pass!
