Chapter 403 The Desperate Turin Coach

In this weekend's Serie A focus battle, there were no clips worthy of being edited into the highlights by the broadcaster within 10 minutes after the opening. Except for each completing a very outrageous goal, the rest of the process was simply boring. To the extreme.

If it is understandable for the Turin team to use defensive tactics in the away game, then the Roma team, which was widely favored by the outside world before the game, was somewhat disappointing.They have adhered to the usual offensive tactics, but they made a lot of mistakes today. Either the passing accuracy was poor, or there was a problem with the cooperation between the players. The success rate of instant passing in the opening stage was only 70%.Fortunately, the defensive performance without Fazio was still very good, and the counterattacks of the visiting team after several steals were resolved by them one by one.

The boring content of the game not only made the audience yawn, even the commentator felt that there was nothing to comment on. The live broadcaster in Italy even started to bring the topic to Astori's death, and today's guest is the latter The former teammate when he played for Roma, the old goalkeeper De Sanctis who just retired last summer.He recalled the little-known anecdotes that the Fiorentina captain had outside the field during his brief loan season to the Red Wolves in the 2014-15 season, which attracted a large number of fans to shift their focus. The fierce confrontation between the two players there has become dispensable.

De Sanctis' revelation came to an abrupt end after more than ten minutes, because Astori's personality is really low-key enough, and he only stayed in the Roma team for ten months, so it can be shared Not much to do.Fortunately, the situation on the court also changed at this time, and everyone finally no longer had to listen to the awkward chat of these two people who were supposed to comment on the game.

No. In the 201st minute, the home team finally completed a coherent cooperation among multiple players. Nainggolan got a long-range shot without interference from outside the penalty area. Unfortunately, his luck this time was a bit unlucky, and the ball almost flew off the crossbar. Out of line.The Belgian international's long-range shooting ability ranks first in the entire Serie A. He is famous for his strength and angle. Casey's state today is a bit average. Although he made a save, he failed to touch the ball. A few centimeters higher, the city gate has already been breached.

With the appearance of this shot, the state of the Roma players has obviously improved greatly, and they created two more opportunities to attack the goal in succession. However, the Turkish winger Yundair, who overwhelmed Pelotti in the starting lineup, was 5 minutes later. The inside kick was missed twice, wasting a good ball that was not easy for the teammate to pass.However, the improvement of the offensive situation also led the home team to gradually invest more troops in the frontcourt, which weakened their defense line accordingly. The counterattack tactics of the Torino team finally achieved something, especially Li Moody kept signaling to the players Occasionally use a high position to press, the effect can be said to be very obvious.

No. In the 209th minute, the visiting team made a successful steal in the frontcourt. Benassi sent a through pass. After Immobile got the ball from the right side of the penalty area, he shot a low shot with his left foot under the marking of the opponent's defender, but the angle was not too tricky. The ball was safely saved to the bottom line by Rome goalkeeper Alisson. Seven minutes later, the Torino team launched a concise and fast attack after stealing the ball in the midfield. Baselli took the ball from the right and made a pass. Going off the crossbar, he missed a golden opportunity to take the lead.

One minute before the end of the half, the Red Bulls made a rare offensive attack, but in the face of the opponent's tight defense, they failed to create a good opportunity for passing the ball several times. A strong long-range shot came directly from a position of about 1 meters.Needless to say, the quality is still not counted, but Alisson, who was still highly focused, fell to the ground and saved him, defusing the danger.The goalkeeper, who joined the Red Wolves with a worth of 30 million euros in the summer of 2016, is currently valued at 800 million in authoritative media such as "Transfer Market" and has surpassed Ederson, who has performed well in Manchester City this season. Stabilized the position of the No. 4500 goalkeeper of the Samba Army and can be said to be one of the most promising players.

After halftime, both sides failed to score anything, and returned to the locker room with a 0-0 score.Statistically, the Roma team has the upper hand with 60% of the ball possession rate, and the number of attacks is also significantly ahead, but the foot wind is not smooth. The shooting data is 5 out of 1 and 4 out of 2. In terms of threat, it is not as good as the visiting team.But generally speaking, the level shown by the two sides is almost equal, and neither of them can be sure of winning. We can only look forward to what adjustments will be made in the second half.

Naturally, the Turin team was the first to change their moves. Belotti's physical fitness was not enough to support him to continue fighting on the court. The volley shot missed in the first half was largely due to the support foot at a critical moment. Softened a bit.Red Beibei, who played 92 minutes on Thursday night, recovered to 83% of his physical fitness after two days of full rest, but with his hard-working style of play, it dropped to 56% after halftime. The rest made him breathe a little, but he still felt tired all over his body.Li Mudi had to replace the top scorer in Serie A last season with Jesse. Hesse could not restrain the opponent in the penalty area, but his speed and dribbling skills can play a better role in counterattack tactics. It happened to form two arrows with Immobile, but the plan of the Turin coach did not come true.

After another battle in different places, the Roma team suddenly broke out with a strong combat effectiveness. Whether it was an individual one-on-one breakthrough or a team's success rate, there was a significant improvement. Several consecutive waves of offensives completely suppressed the red bulls. In his own half, the situation instantly became extremely critical.

Of course, this is not because they took some stimulants during the intermission, but that the Turin players entered the state slowly at the beginning of the second half, and they were beaten hard if they were caught by the opponent.However, with the consumption of passive defense for a long time, the physical fitness of the visiting team began to have problems, and the reaction speed and enthusiasm for fighting dropped significantly.

In 9 minutes, Kolarov made a free kick from the left. Diego Llorente won the battle with Yundale and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. In the competition, the Turin players obviously suffered from inattention, and Florenzi got the ball from the outside and got a direct long-range shot.Fortunately, there were a lot of people in the penalty area, and the goal hit Flanagan's calf and flew out of the post, but it also scared Cassie and others' heart rate to a sudden increase.

After 3 minutes, the home team made a comeback. Schick, who had been mediocre before, failed to break through in the one-on-one competition with Kanneman, but also made a corner kick.Stroman's left corner kick was cleared to the other side. Florenzi got the ball from the right and sent a cross. The Greek central defender Manolas, who was ambushing at the back point, had no defensive players to defend him. Leaps high and headed the goal with ease.The ball slammed into the dead corner above the far end with great force, making Cassie, who was a little hesitant to attack, helpless. 1-0, the Roma team finally broke the deadlock on the field and put themselves in a very favorable position .

After scoring the goal, Manolas threw away many teammates who wanted to celebrate with him, ran to the sidelines and knelt on the turf, pointing to the sky, and at the same time muttering words, dedicating the goal to his late former teammate Astori .Seeing this, other Roman players also came behind the Greeks and joined in this special mourning event. The audience in the stadium immediately burst into warm applause to express their respect and memory for the deceased. Affection.

The score fell behind, and Li Moody had to come to the sidelines to arrange new tactical arrangements.Jesse did not show his due competitive state after he came on the field. He had a fierce physical contact with Nainggolan in the second minute, and his right leg was hit hard. There is no big problem anymore, but my psychology seems to have a shadow, and I no longer dare to confront the opposing players.After returning to the Bernabeu last summer, he returned to the glass body again. At the end of September, he was recuperated for two and a half months because of a serious knee injury. He did not recover in the long training until he was loaned back to Turin. It has improved a little, but it managed to regain its momentum before and suffered a huge setback again, and began to develop in the direction of disappearing everyone.

Successive injuries and long-term inability to play games in Real Madrid have caused him, who was originally known as the king of football, to decline both in terms of potential and current ability.At the end of last year, Li Moody checked through scouting tools that Jesse's double value has become 140 and 152, which are both lower than when he played for the Red Bulls last season.And just after his 25th birthday, he has already passed the high-speed growth period of striker players. If it weren't for Ronaldo's particularly diligent professional player model, the growth of his skills would basically be at a standstill. Three or four points, basically not up to the level of being selected for the Spanish national team.If you join a La Liga team in the middle and lower reaches, you can still play the core main force, but in a strong team, it is the fate of rotation players.

Li Moody hopes to save the future Real Madrid standard bearer in Meilinger's mind, so he rented Jesse from Qizu last season, and after a season of hard work, he found an opportunity to get back on track.But the inertia of history is indeed too strong. In just half a year, all the efforts of the Turin coach were wiped out. Hesse, who was plagued by injuries again, finally became him in the original history. The speed and aura of the world, and the shortcomings of far worse physique than normal athletes have never been resolved. Buff, who is extremely vulnerable to injuries, is too fatal for a player who has just entered the peak of his career. will destroy him.

With Jesse on the field now, onlookers can easily notice that he is trying to avoid physical confrontation, and when he is dribbling the ball, facing the opponent's players, he is almost always trying to make a breakthrough. Once he finds that he needs to take some risks, he immediately Pass the ball to a teammate.In the counterattack, he also used the advantage of being faster than the opponent's defender to take the advantage of striding the ball. After being figured out the rules, it was easy to crack successfully.In this way, after losing this counterattack point, the Roma players can put most of their defensive attention on Immobile, resulting in the Turin team's few counterattacks failing to play quality, which aggravated their own defense. Pressure on the backline.

No. 70 minutes, after seeing Jesse choose to back down in a 50% vs 50% chance, Li Mudi had no choice but to replace him with the team's youth training winger Parrigini, who only played for 10 minutes Hesse.The latter's mood was obviously very low, but he also knew what his problem was, and he didn't show his temper to the head coach. The Turin coach also gently hugged his lover and expressed comfort to him.At this time, Li Mudi was full of emotions. He really hoped to do everything possible to help this former hopeful star who had known him for many years, but at present, various affairs of the team have made him feel overwhelmed, and the schedule is still on. It's so urgent, I really don't know how to squeeze out extra time, I can only watch Hesse's sluggish state continue, and I feel really uncomfortable.

However, his feeling didn't last long, because the situation on the field changed again, which directly increased the difficulty for the visiting team to tie the score by several levels.

After gaining the lead, the Roma team did not slow down the attack, but continued to put pressure on the visiting team's defense, hoping to score the second goal as soon as possible to seal the victory, so that the coach can adjust the lineup and prepare for the Champions League match three days later. Prepare. No. In the 607th minute, Schick sent a through pass, and Kolarov broke into the penalty area and shot from a small angle on the left side, which was blocked by Cassie.

Two minutes later, Kolarov's through ball found Nainggolan, who got the ball on the right side of the penalty area and hit the middle. Florenzi followed up with a burst shot slightly higher.

No.703 minutes, Florenzi's cross from the right was blocked. Nainggolan headed the ball from the front of the penalty area, but was knocked down by Benassi after the ball was taken. The referee stopped the game and came At the place of the foul, he showed Turin's midfielder the second yellow card he personally received today, and sent off two yellows and one red. The Red Bulls could only fight with ten men for the rest of the game.

Helpless, Li Moody had no choice but to assume Baselli's position and take over the organization work, otherwise the team's offense would be paralyzed, and they could only rely on unreliable long passes from the backcourt to let the two strikers sprint.He then replaced England right-back Flanagan with Silvestri, who had a better offensive ability, hoping to increase the team's offensive style, but this substitution led to a second goal for the visiting team. Birth of the lost ball.

No.90 In the second minute, the Turin team, who gritted their teeth and tried to score a goal at the last moment, failed to attack, and was hit by the home team with a fatal counterattack.After Nainggolan dribbled the ball to the top of the penalty area, he attracted the attention of all defensive players, and then sent a diagonal pass to the left front.Because Silvestri failed to return to the defense in time for the assist, Pellegrini, who had just come off the bench, easily got the ball and broke into the penalty area. Facing the ready Casillas, he volleyed vigorously, and the ball was like a cannonball. Out of the barrel, it usually goes straight into the lower left corner of the goal.

2 to 0, the Roma team completely sealed the victory in stoppage time. While achieving two consecutive victories, it also ended the opponent's nine-round unbeaten round, and the point difference between the two sides also returned to five points. The suspense of the Champions League qualification suddenly There has been a substantial improvement.
